The Realistic Paradox of Christian Suffering

- I recently I posted this clip of Kathy Degraw, whose delusions have been featured on the Holy Nope a few times. She seems to be indirectly responding to me with all the NOPING and her point is that we are wrong for teaching that affliction and suffering come from God for the good of His people. And I have more to say about it.

Thanks Austin. I'm looking forward to parts 2 & 3. Greetings from Australia. 🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Thank you brother. I have been under intense suffering for nearly 3 years. It feels like my only hope is beyond this life at times. I need to stay grateful as Christ was anointed with suffering and with great joy in doing His father’s will.
Excellent video and very needed.
This video was truly a blessing this morning. Giving me as well a word of encouragement to give my friend. Today is his wedding but Tuesday we had his mother's funeral. The amount of sorrow he has mixed with Joy must be strange. But he has been trying not to show his pain but it has started to show in his agitation and frustration to everything happening. So I just want to thank you for this message as I believe some parts can bring comfort to him.
Lowkey this is the most compassionate way to put this for those who are suffering
This is one of my favorite topics. Edifying and encouraging video!
Great video Austin. Keep preaching the truth!
SO BEAUTIFULLY SAID BROTHER
This was fantastic and much needed, my brother. God bless and Soli Deo Gloria!
@@angusmay1377 I’m glad. Part 2 is out now.
@@holynope thanks, bro
Ty for your teaching videos!!🛐
Suffering is a price we pay for existence.. but it’s worth it for the joy isn’t it? And existence itself is based on a balance between creation and destruction.. but both are suffering.. though only those who give birth know fully. Life is not fair.
Good stuff, as always.
So even if our healing is a factor of the amount of faith that we have… Faith is a gift from God, so it’s still depends on God… There’s no way for her to get out of this box
I guess we didn't read where after the Spirit descended upon Christ after He was baptized led him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. I guess Hebrews 4:15 doesn't say "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." or Philippians 1:29 doesn't say "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him". Her bible contains one book 1 Hesitations.
That is great. 1st Hesitations. I'm dead. 😆. May I use this? You dropped this BTW... 👑
That video was on queue
What a nice lady! (Nope!)
Does someone have to be baptised to be saved?
No. We are water baptized Because we are saved out of obedience and love.
The belief that baptism is necessary for salvation is also known as "baptismal regeneration." It is our contention that baptism is an important step of obedience for a Christian, but we adamantly reject baptism as being required for salvation. We do strongly believe that each and every Christian should be water baptized by immersion. Baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Romans 6:3-4 declares, “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” The action of being immersed in the water illustrates dying and being buried with Christ. The action of coming out of the water pictures Christ’s resurrection.
Requiring anything in addition to faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is a works-based salvation. To add anything to the gospel is to say that Jesus’ death on the cross was not sufficient to purchase our salvation. To say that baptism is necessary for salvation is to say we must add our own good works and obedience to Christ’s death in order to make it sufficient for salvation. Jesus’ death alone paid for our sins (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus’ payment for our sins is appropriated to our “account” by faith alone (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8-9). Therefore, baptism is an important step of obedience after salvation but is not a requirement for salvation.
Yes, there are some verses that seem to indicate baptism as a requirement for salvation. However, since the Bible so clearly tells us that salvation is received by faith alone (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5), there must be a different interpretation of those verses. Scripture does not contradict Scripture. In Bible times, a person who converted from one religion to another was often baptized to identify conversion. Baptism was the means of making a decision public. Those who refused to be baptized were saying they did not truly believe. So, in the minds of the apostles and early disciples, the idea of an un-baptized believer was unheard of. When a person claimed to believe in Christ, yet was ashamed to proclaim his faith in public, it indicated that he did not have true faith.
If baptism is necessary for salvation, why would Paul have said, “I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius” (1 Corinthians 1:14)? Why would he have said, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel-not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power” (1 Corinthians 1:17)? Granted, in this passage Paul is arguing against the divisions that plagued the Corinthian church. However, how could Paul possibly say, “I am thankful that I did not baptize…” or “For Christ did not send me to baptize…” if baptism were necessary for salvation? If baptism is necessary for salvation, Paul would literally be saying, “I am thankful that you were not saved…” and “For Christ did not send me to save…” That would be an unbelievably ridiculous statement for Paul to make. Further, when Paul gives a detailed outline of what he considers the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-8), why does he neglect to mention baptism? If baptism is a requirement for salvation, how could any presentation of the gospel lack a mention of baptism?
