    Really like these short form videos you're putting out. I, unfortunately, don't have the time to listen to your longer stuff the whole way thru.

      Agreed. For my situation, I can take in videos of up to 20ish minutes pretty easily but when they are close to an hour I usually see them and think, "I want to watch that when I have time," and then by the time I could a ways down the road I've forgotten about it.

      @@JonathanMeyer84 Same here. I actually prefer to read my theology vs listen. Much easier to go deep/cross reference. When I encounter a complicated subject, it's nice to have the bottom line easily available -- short form vids -- to make sure I'm comprehending correctly/on the right track.

    John Wesley did not found the Methodist Church. He was opposed to his movement becoming separate from the Church of England. It was only after his death that the Methodist Church was formed.

    Yes. An institution came from Wesley, not Whitfield. However, both men continue to encourage and instruct people today. And,…that institution of Wesley is now largely compromised biblically.

    I think it is funny that Methodism started off divided between Calvinism and Arminianism. What makes it funny is that excluding Wales, Methodism is all Arminian.

    Just a side note: Wesley started a society, it transformed itself into a church denomination only after his death.

    Do you ever get tired of being so based?

    🕆 1 Timothy 6:11-12 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.🕆
    Let the Holy Spirit guide you this week according to these 2 verses from the bible, Let God’s Peace and Grace be with you (To The Reader). Praise God always. Amen,.. 🕆🙏🙌

    Lasting change starts with the broken heart of one sinner, declaring the glory of God to another and then they declare to another and so on and so forth. Then we the ones who have been blessed with this knowledge teach it to our families and to those around and us. We do not look to a church or to school or to government, we look to the promises from the teachings of the law the prophets, writings, Gospels and letters. If we look to things of man we will always fall short. For it was was not with wise words that Paul's ministry was so strong but by the word of God. After all it wasn't a school that saved Augustin but a common preacher.

      Yeah but Paul also founded churches. An inspirational message is nice, and perhaps it can be life changing for a few individuals, but it was Christianity as a whole that changed the Roman Empire.

    Is Jesus a person or an institution? How about the Apostle Paul? Martin Luther?

      the apostles were definitely an institution 😊

    • @JonathanMeyer84
      @JonathanMeyer84 Год назад +6

      Well, Jesus is God, so He supercedes both, and the Apostles flow out from what Jesus set in place. The Martin Luther example is spoken to in the video.

      even God is a person. As far as what Jesus set in place, it isn't with signs to be observed. It is in the midst of us, and WE are the Temple now.@@JonathanMeyer84

      If you were not joking around with me, how do you mean@@maxonmendel5757 ? I know some Christians believe that the apostles continued to this day and there are some still around, and I conceded God can call someone to be one as He pleases, but I can't say there is anyone around today I'd agree is an apostle. So that negates the advantage that the Good Doctor ascribes to institutions.
