CLARIFICATION: I do believe that believers "go to heaven" when they die, but that's not the point of Christianity, nor it is the end of the story. I don't believe in soulsleep, but I also think our focus should be more on spreading the kingdom here and now than going to heaven when we die.
@redeemedzoomer6053 So, in other words... "Going to heaven" is biblical? While I understand that our sole focus should not be getting into heaven, I would point out that Jesus didn't die on the cross so that we would spread his kingdom, he died on the cross so that we could have eternal life with him.
That point is very clear in the video, especially if this isn’t the first video of yours that someone is watching. However, it seems that many people lack basic interpretation skills, particularly when it comes to Christian content on RUclips. It’s unfortunate, but your message is spot on and much needed!
@@wealthybones1280 right but the problem is, some people but eternal life into the future too much... while eternal life is also experienced in this life... John 17:3 gives us a definition of eternal life that does not speak of heaven
@TheVelvetTV_Riesenglied "And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth." What do you mean? This isn't a definition of eternal life, it's telling you how to obtain it.
What era of history is the best time to be Christian? The Apostolic Age? The ‘50s? The Middle Ages? No matter what ear you’re in, the correct answer is always “right now.” Christ is King.
I think there was the least amount of confusion during the Apostolic Age (30-100 AD). The trade off being that Christianity was illegal and you faced death for being a Christian.
That's why the institution of the church is so important. it's not simply just a place of reunion with like-minded individuals. The Church is part of God's kingdom here on earth so it should be treated that way.
Jesus went to the grave for three days and nights. The thief went to the same place, he did not rise to heaven before Christ. "I do not pray that you take them out of the earth but that you keep them from the evil."

Heaven and Earth are BOTH correct. We will “inherit Earth at the end of the ages”. Until then, we will enjoy paradise (literally) just like the thief on the cross that Jesus told would be with Him in paradise.
@@edcarson3113 that’s your human thought. I know it to be “paradise” and not Golgoth, hanging dying from a cross or that the rapture came THAT day (it obviously didn’t) and Jesus and the thief brought Heaven to Earth THAT day.
@@thebel89 Logically meaning paradise is located in Hadès. This is further affirmed in Luke 16 parabel of Lazarus. The setting isn't in heaven, it's Hadès/Sheol, yet we have a righteous like Abraham there and a pharisee also. Though we learn they're in separate divisions of Hadès. It's a whole realm with distinct divisions for specific purposes. Paradise is one of those divisions. That's why Jesus told the thief, that day, they'll be together in that division.
Yes. We can’t think about salvation as escaping this fallen world. We ought to think of it as changing this world to conform to God’s glory. That’s why Jesus spent so much time teaching about things that we ought to do on this earth.
I have to disagree, Revelations makes it clear that the world is doomed to despise God. We can change people, but no the world. Helping people understand God is great, but if are expecting to change the world than you will be disappointed. Jesus made this very clear that we should love God, and our neighbors, but he also said that world will reject us just like it did to him.
@@QseftJohn Indeed, it is written that this world is doomed to destruction upon Jesus’ return, but he will remake the world and we shall rule beside him. That is the New Heaven and New Earth
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” John 14:3 “Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”” Luke 17:20-21 “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” 2 Corinthians 5:1
I think the author of the video is very close to falling into Christian nationalism, very focused on the cultural transformation of society, when the legacy of the Church throughout history is more a side effect of Christianity than the central point of it. For some reason Jesus Christ said that his Kingdom was NOT of this world, because what is done for the Kingdom now does not necessarily have to have a visible effect on Earth.
@pascalarancibia5199 lol you must not watch much redeemed zoomer. Christian Nationalism is a ridiculous buzzword because it actually doesn't go far enough, Christians want to spread the gospel not just to the US but the entire world. Kingdom Theology, as RZ calls it, is all about bringing Earth closer to God. I wish people would start saying something like "Christian Globalism" because Christian Nationalism is stupid, unbiblical and no one actually would subscribe to this term
Girl, they are leading a lot of research today, including finding a cure for leukemia. Regardless of your beliefs, it’s ridiculous to say they aren’t producing good.
“Stop talking about “going to heaven”” But as you said in your video, if a Christian dies right now they will go to heaven. I get the point you are trying to make about the redeemed earth, but there is nothing wrong with Christians talking about going to heaven 🤷♂️. The only group who does not agree that you go to heaven when you die are the “Soul Sleeper” anabaptists who were thoroughly rebuked by Calvin and every other reformer. TLDR: Nothing wrong whatsoever with talking about “going to heaven”.
There is a problem which this video intends to adress, that christians talk about going to heaven as if it is the point of this life and believing in Jesus. It isn't. The true goal is to build the kingdom. Spiritual heaven for us will be a mere transitory stay.
The main problem with the main focus on heaven is that it implies that eternity is spent there, when it isn’t, it’s spent on the New Earth. The authors of New Testament epistles were all waiting on the Lord’s return rather than waiting on their death so they could spend eternity in heaven, which isn’t biblical.
look at how many people are going to explain to you what you already know for making a factual statement, agreeing while being disagreeable is so weird.
Paul said believers are asleep in the ground and will wise first. Why in the world would a person in Heaven be transported back to the their rotting corpse to be raised up and ascend to get ......a new body...they already have one if you believe they are in heaven now. Fact is they are not. None have ascended except Christ.
@ the spirit of believers return to their bodies made brand new - glorified bodies. The Bible definitely implies that believers go to heaven after death. Take Paul’s verse in 2 Corinthians 5:1 - “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” The problem with the focus being on heaven, however, is that most believers are under the impression that heaven is where eternity will be spent, when that isn’t the case at all.
Have you even watched the video? RZ explicitly says that Jesus is in heaven and we do indeed go there when we die. He just focuses in the fact that the point of the gospel it's not getting to go to heaven, but creating the kingdom on Earth, and seeing it fully realized with the second coming.
@@ceresgc but he is still Wrong, if we are saved From Hell then that means we get Heaven...not Earth, we are told not love the world nor the things that are in the World. Earth is to be inherited by Jews and those grafted in later, which would be us the Gentiles.
The thing is there was no English and no punctuation when the Bible was written. So it could have been “I say to you: today you will be with me in paradise” or it could have been “I say to you today: you WILL be with me in paradise.”

Thank you for making a video on this. I have explained this to many people, and I can’t tell you how many of them are so relieved to hear this! They usually say that the heaven we’ve been taught (in the sky) sounds so boring and they didn’t want to just sing hymns 24/7 for the rest of eternity. Heaven is about LIVING the full experience that God intended us to have from the beginning-not sitting on a cloud with a harp singing hymns for eternity. Your explanation is beautiful!!!
1 criticism though at 0:46, Jesus did say about false prophets that "believed" in him but He said he does not know them. So one must be faithful, not only believe, but believe truly too
Yes and also demons acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God and that he has authority over them. Yes Jesus is king, but having faith means mostly to TRUST in him completely with everything in every aspect

Revelation talks about "a new heaven" AND "a new earth". It's certainly wrong to hyperfocus on heaven in exchange for not spreading God's kingdom in this world, but we can't ignore heaven either. Let our eyes be fixed on the creator, not his creations
@nawwww clarification: I don't mean we can't focus on God's creations. They are beautiful and reflect him. However we shouldn't be making idols out of them.
Then why did Jesus say this?? “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:2-3 NASB1995
@ the temple of his body is the Father’s house? Read it again. The Father’s house. The church is not appointed to the wrath of God. We will be hidden in the Father’s house during the wrath’s of God. “Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course. For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:20-21 NASB1995 “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 NASB1995
@@solidsnake497 No. We are now a part of His body, for Jesus is the head of the Church and the Church (which is all who believe in him, not one organization) is the body. Heaven is an actual place separate from the Earth, but we as Christians should strive to help make the Earth more like Heaven. That's the gist of what Zoomer was saying
"Dwelling places" should be rendered "offices", as Jesus is referencing the Temples that will exist during the Millennium and into eternity. Ezekiel says that the sons of Zadok( the ppl who are faithful to God's doctrines in this age) will serve directly under Jesus in the northern chambers forever. Rev 3:12 elaborates on this too.
I would encourage you to read John Wimber’s later books and Gorden Fee. Both spirit filled Christians who believed very strongly in Inaugurated Eschatology and the advancing of God’s kingdom on earth. Even though he’s Roman Catholic (he may be Charismatic Catholic but idk) and leans somewhat liberal, Luke Timothy Johnson’s book “Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church” is also an extraordinary book that speaks on the Gospel of Luke and Acts as a single literary unit based around the prophetic calling of the church first demonstrated by Jesus to preach the Gospel and heal and reform society.
good video about comparing everything to a kingdom and everything, but it literally says there will be a new heaven AND a new earth, so those are 2 distinct things
They weren’t originally separated things because God created them united when He made Eden. They have only been separated due to sin and are to be restored united
Thank you for such an insightful and inspiring video! The emphasis on the Gospel being about heaven coming to earth rather than escaping earth resonates deeply with the biblical narrative and aligns beautifully with the historic Protestant understanding of God's Kingdom. As a Protestant, it fills me with joy to see this theology affirmed-it reflects the Reformation's commitment to the redemptive scope of Christ's work, not just for individuals but for the renewal of all creation. This message truly captures the hope and transformative power of the Gospel. Keep sharing this truth!
Yes but in the book of revelation it says that when God comes back he will destroy the earth with fire just like in the times of Noah. All of God's wrath will be poured out. All the buildings we have here will be destroyed just like in the times of Noah. Then God and us will 'Rebuild' Heaven on earth, which i am looking forward to. I think we have to remember what it teaches in the book of Revelation and what is to come for all the earth and the people left on it at the time of God's wrath.
“My kingdom is not of this world” “I go to prepare a place for you, if it we’re not so, I would have told you” Let’s not forget about 1 Peter 3, talking about the earth burning up like the days of the flood
When Jesus says, “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36), it’s important to consider the context. Jesus is speaking to Pilate, explaining that His Kingdom is not like earthly kingdoms, established through force or political power. Instead, His Kingdom is spiritual and operates on a different plane of authority. However, this doesn’t mean that His Kingdom has no relevance to the earth. Throughout His ministry, Jesus demonstrated that the Kingdom of God was breaking into the world through His teachings, miracles, and ultimately His resurrection. For example, Jesus taught His followers to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10), clearly showing that the Kingdom has a transformative role in the here and now, even as it awaits full realization in the future. Similarly, in John 14:2-3, where Jesus says, “I go to prepare a place for you,” He is offering comfort to His disciples, promising them eternal fellowship with Him. This does not imply that the ultimate goal is to leave earth permanently and dwell in some far-off heaven. Instead, Scripture makes clear that God’s plan is for heaven and earth to be united. Revelation 21:1-3 describes the “new heavens and new earth,” where God will dwell with humanity, restoring creation to its intended state. The “place” Jesus prepares is a promise of this eternal communion with God, which will culminate in the renewal of all things, not the abandonment of earth. As for 1 Peter 3, you’re likely referring to 2 Peter 3:10, which mentions the earth and the heavens being destroyed by fire, this too is often misunderstood. The fire here is not about total annihilation but rather purification, much like how the flood in Noah’s time cleansed the earth without destroying it completely. Peter clarifies this by stating in 2 Peter 3:13 that we are awaiting “new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” This aligns with the consistent biblical message of renewal and restoration. Creation is not discarded but liberated from its bondage to decay, as Paul explains in Romans 8:21. The overarching narrative of Scripture reveals that the Kingdom of God is both present and future. It is already at work through Jesus and His Church, bringing transformation to the world now, while also pointing to the ultimate fulfillment when Christ returns and God’s reign is fully realized. The Kingdom is not just about going to heaven after death; it’s about God’s reign breaking into the present world and culminating in the restoration of all creation. Passages like John 18:36, John 14:2-3, and 2 Peter 3 emphasize different aspects of this truth, but they do not negate the reality of God’s Kingdom at work on earth today. Instead, they reinforce the hope of a fully renewed creation where heaven and earth are united under God’s perfect reign.
@mendoza2489 When he said "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" He is talking about the end of the world and his Kingdom coming down to earth.
@ While it is true that the ultimate fulfillment of God’s Kingdom involves the final renewal of creation (Revelation 21:1-3), Jesus’ prayer, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10), is not limited to the end of the world. Instead, this prayer invites God’s rule and will to be actively realized in the present, not just in the future. When Jesus proclaimed, “The Kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15), He initiated God’s reign through His ministry, death, and resurrection. This reign continues to grow as individuals and communities submit to God’s will. The Church plays a vital role in advancing this Kingdom, demonstrating God’s justice, mercy, and love in the world today. The prayer in Matthew 6:10 is an appeal for the alignment of earth with heaven now, as believers participate in bringing God’s will to bear in every aspect of life, from personal transformation to societal change. While the Kingdom will be fully realized when Christ returns, this does not negate its present reality. Jesus demonstrated this in His miracles, teachings, and actions, which showed that the Kingdom was already breaking into the world. For example, when He healed the sick and forgave sins, He was embodying the transformative power of God’s rule. To suggest that “Thy Kingdom come” is only about the end of the world ignores the ongoing work of God in the present. Scripture clearly presents the Kingdom as both “already” and “not yet.” It is already here in the lives of believers and the Church, but it awaits its ultimate fulfillment when God makes all things new. Therefore, the prayer in Matthew 6:10 is about actively living under God’s rule today while anticipating the glorious future of the fully consummated Kingdom.
So, how far "up" does your concept of heavens go? All the way to the edge of the known universe? Because, you know, above the clouds there is space. And space is "quite long". That would means "heavens" is literally the rest of the universe from Earth. @@BodyOfChristIntChurch

@@glasshammer291 You say that like it's a bad thing. But pretty much anyone in any kind of field of science (teology included) was influenced by Plato.
That’s a modern dispensationalist and gnostic interpretation of revelation. The interpretation that Presbyterians and most historic Christians is that this Earth will be redeemed, not destroyed. New doesn’t mean a new thing was made, it can be “made new.” Think about it like this. When we are baptised and believe and have faith in Jesus you can say we were made new. Think about it like that.
Not all pre-millenialists are dispensationalists. Even though dispensationalism is pre-mil, there many other traditions that are pre-mil and reject dispensationalism. This earth will be destroyed so a New Earth can be built. That's why Jesus' kingdom is not of this world.
@@EthanMurphy2005But we will leave the fallen flesh behind right? I've always read what it says, that Earth won't last and there will be a new.

An analogy is when we talk about a new phone, it's a completely separate device. Not a factory reset of an old device device, if that makes sense.
@EthanMurphy2005 2 Peter 3:10-13 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

"the mainline churches, which spent hundreds of years building things for God's kingdom, whereas Evangelical protestants were mostly focused on getting individual people to go to heaven" .... brother. You yourself give the strongest argument for Evangelical protestantism. If you spent a couple weeks reading only the Bible instead of denominational dogma, you would come to very different realizations about the nature of our faith and the role/model of the church
I don't think that it's necessarily our earth in the future, it may be, but I lean toward a whole new universe or something like the sorts in the future. Here are the reasons : (I added brackets to highlight specific parts of the text.) Revelation 21:1: "Then I saw a [[new heaven]] and a new earth, for the [[first heaven and the first earth had passed away]], and the sea was no more." This suggests the present universe may actually cease to exist, to be replaced by something entirely new. In the Bible the word heavens (the greek word ouranos used in this passage and the next one I will give you) is often used to talk about the sky. It can either refer to the physical heavens (e.g. the earths atmosphere, outer space) OR the dwelling place of God) Another verse that helps support this, 2 Peter 3:10-13: "The [[heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire]], and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare... But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a [[new heaven]] and a new earth." So this is why I lean towards the idea this points to the destruction of the current universe, followed by the creation of a new one.
It’s talking about the Israelites constant turning away from God’s commandments and all the other nations that committed idolatry, once Jesus came he clarified the differences between right and wrong and made it accessible to Jews and gentiles alike
Hello brother I would really like to see a video made by you with something like "Eastern Orthodoxy vs Protestants" or something like that beacuase I was raised as an orthodox but I feel more connected with protestantism and i think they are right and eventhough I want to be a Protestant cause that's how I feel better and more connected with God my family is pushing me towards orthodoxy and trying to find every reason to stay orthodox and I would like to show them a video made by you about this topic! Thanks for everything and God bless you!
The way you broke down how all denominations are serving God, then broke down individual roles of people from those who evangelize to the bishops or "generals" is absolutely perfect. So much division in the family when we are if the same family with different parts. I love your short simple explanation man, spot on

@@alisterrebelo9013 kinda like the final "the only ones building the kingdom are the mainline Protestants". Just leaving out Catholics and Orthodox like it's nothing.
I love your message about Christians focus needing to be on bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, as that is the whole message of the Bible, and our vocation and calling as Christ followers. I want to say this with as much grace as I can, because I truly believe in the work you are promoting for the Kingdom of Heaven in your stewardship of the Reconquista movement that you and others are facilitating for the body of Christ. I wish you had more grace, and understanding for evangelical protestants. I agree with you that many evangelical churches are missing the mark with their messages that can produce lukewarm Christianity, but there are also many evangelical pastors and churches that are fully doing the work of fulfilling the great commission. I'm a part of an evangelical protestant, nondenominational church in Nashville and they are deeply spiritual, working in the local community, facilitating my University through the church, among many other fruitful ministries. I've only been a part of this church for the past 4 months and I'll admit, I was initially skeptical of their effectiveness in their ministry, but I've come to see how much they truly love one another and how deeply they teach the Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit. And they aren't just preaching about "Going to Heaven," but building the kingdom of Heaven on earth. I don't think its fair for you to talk about evangelical protestants as ineffective for the gospel. Rather, as believers, we need to promote unity in the body of Christ. "For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another" Romans 12:4-5. "I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgement." 1 Corinthians 1:10 I know this was a long message, and I don't know if you'll even see this, but I just wanted to say again, I really believe in the work you are faithfully doing and I've really enjoyed watching your videos for a while now, I just hope you have more grace towards evangelical protestants in the future. If you're ever in the Nashville area, I think it would be great if you came to my church to see their ministry and the work they are fulfilling to advance the gospel, even if you have theological disagreements with them.
@@redeemedzoomer6053 So then do you believe that Christians who go to nondenominational / evangelical churches are not saved and that God isn't active and working in these churches?
@@redeemedzoomer6053 I apologize, I didn't mean for my last reply to come off in hostility. I'm curious what you mean by something being necessary for salvation, and where you believe that comes from for evangelical theology? My main argument is that I fully believe that God is active and working in all mainline Christian denominations of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. As all carry aspects of God's will and make up different members of the body of Christ. And for the latter including all mainline protestant churches, including evangelical denominations.
As a Christian who grew up in the church, left, then came back with a desire to truly know the scriptures this is not a surprise at all. the church has done a poor job with this topic and highlights how little Christians read their bible
I think it's the media that promotes the view that if we are good people we will go to heaven. Those who read their bibles know that there will be a new heaven and new Earth, and that we will reign alongside Christ in the new Earth
If you can hear God's will personally then great. But I'd advice you to defer authority to those who can, if you can't. You can get far simply following the Bible's instructions but keep in mind that the actual core of the entire deal is that some people can hear God, and you'd be an absolute moron to ignore them. This is nothing to say whether your "pastor" can hear God. I personally know unbiblical heretics proclaim themselves "pastors" all the time. You can usually tell they're lying because what they preach clearly contradicts God's past words... but God's words are infinite, eternal, and always in unity.
This is genuinley something evangelicals need to hear. I've heard too many people talking about 'going to heaven' and it simply isn't true. Now, if heaven is the new earth, Is hell also going to be on the new Earth?
Not entirely sure about this, but isn't the new earth a different place? I interpreted it as we all get bodily assumed, the old world gets ditched, and God makes a new one that fulfills the old.
That's how I read it too new heaven and a new earth the old one is getting ditched fits into the orthodox idea in a way of the entirety of nature having fell we're not the only thing that dies. I think Satan gets into the current heaven, Earth and heaven subsequently becomes hellish then like the ark those who are in Christ leave this place through him and live in the new earth/heaven.
2 Peter 3:10-14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall I burned 1 up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
As a JW, I can agree with most of everything said in this video, especially the parts about our future hopes rest on making the earth into a paradise again where there is no sickness, suffering, or death. We may have some differences elsewhere in theology, but I just wanted to say I appreciate the video and the areas where we may have some common ground. Been a subscriber of yours for a couple years now
No. Heaven is an actual place seperate from the Earth, but we as Christians should strive to help make the Earth more like Heaven. That's the gist of what Zoomer was saying
That was a fantastic explanation of the kingdom of heaven vs pearly gates heaven. It would be great if you did something similar on the body/bride of christ?
Protestant bias, they all have some anti catholicism, even if the don't know it. RZ mostly respects the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, but he still tries to dismiss them
@@ingenieriaavanzada3391he doesnt dismiss tus he just forgot or couldnt think of pne cos honestly we do all of them and are the reason for the spread in the first place
AMEN!!! But as someone who grew up Pentecostal (and Catholic for that matter) I can confirm that evangelicals do believe in the second coming of Jesus in the future and participating in doing God’s work here on earth now as a society. We just happen to put emphasize the personal relationship part. (Love God, love your neighbor) I know you have this high tier/low tier view of the denominations but the way I see it if you are a Bible-based born again Christian then there is no tier list. Only brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you brother for your videos! May God continue to bless you, guide you, teach you, and pour out His Spirit upon you! Until your cup overflows! Amen.
RZ explicitly says that Jesus is in heaven and we do indeed go there when we die. He just focuses in the fact that the point of the gospel it's not getting to go to heaven, but creating the kingdom on Earth, and seeing it fully realized with the second coming.
ceresgc There is no place called hell...And if you want to go to heaven,well why are you waiting? John 12: 26“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. You want to be where He is ? 2Co 3: 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. God is Spirit,and if God is in Heaven,than Heaven is Spirit
@@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rbBoth heaven and hell are spirit, thats what humans are, a spirit in a physical body. After the tribulation your spirit will be put into a new 'perfect' body during the thousand year reign.
naruhearts1 There is no tribulation . And thousand year reign can happen now,if you have fullness of God in you.And its not gonna happen with the new body,but this Rom 8 : 11 Those will be sons of God,that will be priests and never see the grave but will endure till the end and will be those who are alive and remain,that will be caught up .

John 5 : 25 the hour is coming, and now is ..... and those who hear will live
@@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rb No, the thousand year reign cannot happen till judgment comes, the evil on this earth cannot exist like it is. It's a more intense version of what has already happened with the Flood. Christians = Noah and family Ark = Jesus Holy judgment of with Fire instead of Rain When the rain/ judgement came, many died. Same will happen during the 7 years of the Anti-christ to the people left behind who werent taken up at the start. True judgment will come down on the earth at the end of the 7 years. Then after that, the Christians repopulate the new earth and begins the 1000 year reign.
Good vid, too many Christians view heaven has a new world where you go instantly after death if you were a good guy. Also, will you make a video explaining the différences between Presbyterians, Dutch Reformed and Hugenots ?
I so wish I could share your optimism of God's Kingdom here on Earth. Alas, this is not the case. Christ has yet to bring the Kingdom here and it's very obvious. I don't see Christ sitting on the throne; I see a man with dementia, who in January will be handing over power to reality TV star/mob boss. We are far from anything resembling what Christ's reign will be like.
“Evangelical prots are mainly focused on getting individuals into the Kingdom of Heaven” uhh yeah… that’s what Jesus commissioned for us to do. “Go and make DISCIPLES of all nations…”
@ “make disciples of all nations” not just from Israel because Jesus was speaking to 12 Jews but disciples from the Gentiles also. The emphasis is disciples which are individuals.
@ that’s not what the verse says. You misunderstand the grammar. It is NOT “make disciples from all nations.” It is “make disciples OF all nations.” The nations themselves are grammatically the disciples.
By faith alone is one of the most important things that no one seems to take seriously. I argue endlessly about age of innocence, infant baptism, office of the keys, and mortal/venial sins. All somehow denying heaven to even a believer.
Can you do a video on how the different churches view sanctification after death? I know catholics have purgatory and the orthodoc believe in a continuing theosis (some also believe in toll houses but that isn't doctrine) but an in depth look at the different perspectives would be great.
Can i use your contents and translate it in my language and post it on RUclips, i feel like most of my country people are missing out because English is like 3rd language for most people here and almost 80% don't know it.. I'm from Tanzania and i speak swahili.
Yes, the job of the Church is to spread the Kingdom of God here and now, and to communicate His Truth as good as It can. That's why it needs to be infallible and visible. I suggest you become Catholic.
@@JoWilliams-ud4eu Why is it a non sequitor? For the Church to function as good as it can, it needs to be united, clearly visible to the world, and most importantly blessed with infallibilty so God's Truth won't be communicated wrongly.

I know you don't mean to offend people but I think you should reconsider generalizing evangelical protestants as nonintellectual and inactive. Consider the evangelical, discipleship-based Christian ministries like the Navigators or Campus Crusade which are doing great work building up devoted, active Christian men and women who also live out the kingdom mindset.
@@timothyhoft so basically a while ago zoomer made an instagram post dissing schoenberg. Then as a response i would comment on every video/post by him talking about schoenberg to annoy him.

@ I learned, analyzed, and performed the complete solo piano works of Schönberg. If Bach is the Isaac Newton of music, then Schönberg is Einstein. Anyone who dismisses Schönberg is just displaying their own ignorance. It’s like saying Picasso was a bad artist, or James Joyce was a bad writer.

CLARIFICATION: I do believe that believers "go to heaven" when they die, but that's not the point of Christianity, nor it is the end of the story. I don't believe in soulsleep, but I also think our focus should be more on spreading the kingdom here and now than going to heaven when we die.
Thank you for clearing up the confusion. I know the true purpose of a Christian is to spread the Word among others, not just himself
@redeemedzoomer6053 So, in other words... "Going to heaven" is biblical? While I understand that our sole focus should not be getting into heaven, I would point out that Jesus didn't die on the cross so that we would spread his kingdom, he died on the cross so that we could have eternal life with him.
That point is very clear in the video, especially if this isn’t the first video of yours that someone is watching. However, it seems that many people lack basic interpretation skills, particularly when it comes to Christian content on RUclips. It’s unfortunate, but your message is spot on and much needed!
@@wealthybones1280 right but the problem is, some people but eternal life into the future too much... while eternal life is also experienced in this life... John 17:3 gives us a definition of eternal life that does not speak of heaven

That's why the institution of the church is so important.
it's not simply just a place of reunion with like-minded individuals.

Zoomer's take is completely incorrect.
Jesus didn't even go to heaven that day
Jesus went to the grave for three days and nights. The thief went to the same place, he did not rise to heaven before Christ. "I do not pray that you take them out of the earth but that you keep them from the evil."

Heaven and Earth are BOTH correct. We will “inherit Earth at the end of the ages”. Until then, we will enjoy paradise (literally) just like the thief on the cross that Jesus told would be with Him in paradise.
so we should not be hurting gods gift then.
The kingdom of heaven is not the same as the kingdom of God.
Paradise is not heaven.
@@edcarson3113 that’s your human thought. I know it to be “paradise” and not Golgoth, hanging dying from a cross or that the rapture came THAT day (it obviously didn’t) and Jesus and the thief brought Heaven to Earth THAT day.
But Jesus didn't go to Paradise on that same day, He went to Hades
@@thebel89
Logically meaning paradise is located in Hadès. This is further affirmed in Luke 16 parabel of Lazarus. The setting isn't in heaven, it's Hadès/Sheol, yet we have a righteous like Abraham there and a pharisee also. Though we learn they're in separate divisions of Hadès. It's a whole realm with distinct divisions for specific purposes. Paradise is one of those divisions. That's why Jesus told the thief, that day, they'll be together in that division.
Yes. We can’t think about salvation as escaping this fallen world. We ought to think of it as changing this world to conform to God’s glory. That’s why Jesus spent so much time teaching about things that we ought to do on this earth.
That’s deep!
That's a protestant mindset for sure! The modern advances of the West were all built off of this principle
Jesus’ Great Commission to his disciples:
“Change da world, my final message. Goodbye.”
Love to you my brothers and sisters in Christ
I have to disagree, Revelations makes it clear that the world is doomed to despise God. We can change people, but no the world. Helping people understand God is great, but if are expecting to change the world than you will be disappointed. Jesus made this very clear that we should love God, and our neighbors, but he also said that world will reject us just like it did to him.

I think the author of the video is very close to falling into Christian nationalism, very focused on the cultural transformation of society, when the legacy of the Church throughout history is more a side effect of Christianity than the central point of it. For some reason Jesus Christ said that his Kingdom was NOT of this world, because what is done for the Kingdom now does not necessarily have to have a visible effect on Earth.
Someone who actually spoke it real
@pascalarancibia5199 lol you must not watch much redeemed zoomer.
Christian Nationalism is a ridiculous buzzword because it actually doesn't go far enough, Christians want to spread the gospel not just to the US but the entire world.
Kingdom Theology, as RZ calls it, is all about bringing Earth closer to God.
I wish people would start saying something like "Christian Globalism" because Christian Nationalism is stupid, unbiblical and no one actually would subscribe to this term

“Stop talking about “going to heaven””
But as you said in your video, if a Christian dies right now they will go to heaven. I get the point you are trying to make about the redeemed earth, but there is nothing wrong with Christians talking about going to heaven 🤷♂️.
The only group who does not agree that you go to heaven when you die are the “Soul Sleeper” anabaptists who were thoroughly rebuked by Calvin and every other reformer.
TLDR: Nothing wrong whatsoever with talking about “going to heaven”.
There is a problem which this video intends to adress, that christians talk about going to heaven as if it is the point of this life and believing in Jesus. It isn't. The true goal is to build the kingdom. Spiritual heaven for us will be a mere transitory stay.
The main problem with the main focus on heaven is that it implies that eternity is spent there, when it isn’t, it’s spent on the New Earth. The authors of New Testament epistles were all waiting on the Lord’s return rather than waiting on their death so they could spend eternity in heaven, which isn’t biblical.
look at how many people are going to explain to you what you already know for making a factual statement, agreeing while being disagreeable is so weird.
Paul said believers are asleep in the ground and will wise first. Why in the world would a person in Heaven be transported back to the their rotting corpse to be raised up and ascend to get ......a new body...they already have one if you believe they are in heaven now. Fact is they are not. None have ascended except Christ.
@ the spirit of believers return to their bodies made brand new - glorified bodies. The Bible definitely implies that believers go to heaven after death. Take Paul’s verse in 2 Corinthians 5:1 - “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
The problem with the focus being on heaven, however, is that most believers are under the impression that heaven is where eternity will be spent, when that isn’t the case at all.
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

They usually say that the heaven we’ve been taught (in the sky) sounds so boring and they didn’t want to just sing hymns 24/7 for the rest of eternity. Heaven is about LIVING the full experience that God intended us to have from the beginning-not sitting on a cloud with a harp singing hymns for eternity. Your explanation is beautiful!!!
1 criticism though at 0:46, Jesus did say about false prophets that "believed" in him but He said he does not know them. So one must be faithful, not only believe, but believe truly too

“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

"Dwelling places" should be rendered "offices", as Jesus is referencing the Temples that will exist during the Millennium and into eternity.

Orthodoxy teaches that heaven is a state of the soul when its experiencing the presence of God. Same with hell. Christ says the kingdom is within you.
Thank you for such an insightful and inspiring video!
The emphasis on the Gospel being about heaven coming to earth rather than escaping earth resonates deeply with the biblical narrative and aligns beautifully with the historic Protestant understanding of God's Kingdom. As a Protestant, it fills me with joy to see this theology affirmed-it reflects the Reformation's commitment to the redemptive scope of Christ's work, not just for individuals but for the renewal of all creation. This message truly captures the hope and transformative power of the Gospel.
Keep sharing this truth!
Yes but in the book of revelation it says that when God comes back he will destroy the earth with fire just like in the times of Noah. All of God's wrath will be poured out. All the buildings we have here will be destroyed just like in the times of Noah. Then God and us will 'Rebuild' Heaven on earth, which i am looking forward to. I think we have to remember what it teaches in the book of Revelation and what is to come for all the earth and the people left on it at the time of God's wrath.
This has been my understanding as well.

“My kingdom is not of this world”
“I go to prepare a place for you, if it we’re not so, I would have told you”
Let’s not forget about 1 Peter 3, talking about the earth burning up like the days of the flood
Orthodoxy teaches that heaven is a state of the soul when its experiencing the presence of God. Same with hell. Christ says the kingdom is within you.
Jesus's followers were expecting him to take over as King and rule on earth. So he told them repeatedly "my Kingdom is no part of this world"
When Jesus says, “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36), it’s important to consider the context. Jesus is speaking to Pilate, explaining that His Kingdom is not like earthly kingdoms, established through force or political power. Instead, His Kingdom is spiritual and operates on a different plane of authority. However, this doesn’t mean that His Kingdom has no relevance to the earth. Throughout His ministry, Jesus demonstrated that the Kingdom of God was breaking into the world through His teachings, miracles, and ultimately His resurrection. For example, Jesus taught His followers to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10), clearly showing that the Kingdom has a transformative role in the here and now, even as it awaits full realization in the future.
Similarly, in John 14:2-3, where Jesus says, “I go to prepare a place for you,” He is offering comfort to His disciples, promising them eternal fellowship with Him. This does not imply that the ultimate goal is to leave earth permanently and dwell in some far-off heaven. Instead, Scripture makes clear that God’s plan is for heaven and earth to be united. Revelation 21:1-3 describes the “new heavens and new earth,” where God will dwell with humanity, restoring creation to its intended state. The “place” Jesus prepares is a promise of this eternal communion with God, which will culminate in the renewal of all things, not the abandonment of earth.
As for 1 Peter 3, you’re likely referring to 2 Peter 3:10, which mentions the earth and the heavens being destroyed by fire, this too is often misunderstood. The fire here is not about total annihilation but rather purification, much like how the flood in Noah’s time cleansed the earth without destroying it completely. Peter clarifies this by stating in 2 Peter 3:13 that we are awaiting “new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” This aligns with the consistent biblical message of renewal and restoration. Creation is not discarded but liberated from its bondage to decay, as Paul explains in Romans 8:21.
The overarching narrative of Scripture reveals that the Kingdom of God is both present and future. It is already at work through Jesus and His Church, bringing transformation to the world now, while also pointing to the ultimate fulfillment when Christ returns and God’s reign is fully realized. The Kingdom is not just about going to heaven after death; it’s about God’s reign breaking into the present world and culminating in the restoration of all creation. Passages like John 18:36, John 14:2-3, and 2 Peter 3 emphasize different aspects of this truth, but they do not negate the reality of God’s Kingdom at work on earth today. Instead, they reinforce the hope of a fully renewed creation where heaven and earth are united under God’s perfect reign.
@mendoza2489 When he said "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" He is talking about the end of the world and his Kingdom coming down to earth.
@ While it is true that the ultimate fulfillment of God’s Kingdom involves the final renewal of creation (Revelation 21:1-3), Jesus’ prayer, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10), is not limited to the end of the world. Instead, this prayer invites God’s rule and will to be actively realized in the present, not just in the future.
When Jesus proclaimed, “The Kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15), He initiated God’s reign through His ministry, death, and resurrection. This reign continues to grow as individuals and communities submit to God’s will. The Church plays a vital role in advancing this Kingdom, demonstrating God’s justice, mercy, and love in the world today. The prayer in Matthew 6:10 is an appeal for the alignment of earth with heaven now, as believers participate in bringing God’s will to bear in every aspect of life, from personal transformation to societal change.
While the Kingdom will be fully realized when Christ returns, this does not negate its present reality. Jesus demonstrated this in His miracles, teachings, and actions, which showed that the Kingdom was already breaking into the world. For example, when He healed the sick and forgave sins, He was embodying the transformative power of God’s rule.
To suggest that “Thy Kingdom come” is only about the end of the world ignores the ongoing work of God in the present. Scripture clearly presents the Kingdom as both “already” and “not yet.” It is already here in the lives of believers and the Church, but it awaits its ultimate fulfillment when God makes all things new. Therefore, the prayer in Matthew 6:10 is about actively living under God’s rule today while anticipating the glorious future of the fully consummated Kingdom.

He created the heavens AND the earth
Notice how the heavens is plural and the earth is singular.
Go outside and look up, voila heavens.
So, how far "up" does your concept of heavens go? All the way to the edge of the known universe? Because, you know, above the clouds there is space. And space is "quite long". That would means "heavens" is literally the rest of the universe from Earth.
@@BodyOfChristIntChurch
@@hyperteleXii forget about space, it's not real.. when you look up you'll see something, it might be white or black clouds, sometimes just a blue zone., that's the heavens and the bible says there is a firmament which has water above it. The heaven that God lives in isn't up there, it's absolutely another dimension.

Oscar Cullmann showed this well and true in his 1955 study called "Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead" Our souls do not separate from our bodies as our souls are integral to our bodies. N.T. Wright says as much "We are saved not just as souls, but as wholes."
That's, ironically, different then how Aquinas thought about it. He considered a human to be union of his soul and his body, but the two being separated.

This may be the most important message many Christians need to hear today.
Won't THIS earth be destroyed and a new one be made? Revelation
That’s a modern dispensationalist and gnostic interpretation of revelation. The interpretation that Presbyterians and most historic Christians is that this Earth will be redeemed, not destroyed. New doesn’t mean a new thing was made, it can be “made new.”
Think about it like this. When we are baptised and believe and have faith in Jesus you can say we were made new. Think about it like that.
Not all pre-millenialists are dispensationalists. Even though dispensationalism is pre-mil, there many other traditions that are pre-mil and reject dispensationalism.
This earth will be destroyed so a New Earth can be built. That's why Jesus' kingdom is not of this world.
Think refiners fire. Not destruction
@@EthanMurphy2005But we will leave the fallen flesh behind right? I've always read what it says, that Earth won't last and there will be a new.
The new creation must be holy, just as God is and if it has a history of being fallen that would kind of always linger, compared to a completely new creation.
An analogy is when we talk about a new phone, it's a completely separate device. Not a factory reset of an old device device, if that makes sense.
@EthanMurphy2005
2 Peter 3:10-13
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Without dispensation, you get all kookie and start making up stuff clearly established in the Bible for certain people, friendo.
Anabaptists have held on to the kingdom theory very well from what i have seen. Regardless of denomination, this is true about the kingdom of heaven. 🙏🏼 🔥
Me and the Gentlemen preparing to show we really mean “thy kingdom come”
I’m a part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance church (and also Mennonite Brethren). Our mission is to grow deep and reach wide. To grow deep is to dwell in the kingdom, and to reach wide is to share the kingdom with others. From the next door neighbour, to the school down the road to the people of Peru and the Middle East and even beyond.
The kingdom is here, so, brothers and sisters, let us share the good news with all.
Not till after the Tribulation, the 'heaven on earth' will look nothing like it does now. Revelation must take place first.
"the mainline churches, which spent hundreds of years building things for God's kingdom, whereas Evangelical protestants were mostly focused on getting individual people to go to heaven" .... brother. You yourself give the strongest argument for Evangelical protestantism. If you spent a couple weeks reading only the Bible instead of denominational dogma, you would come to very different realizations about the nature of our faith and the role/model of the church
I don't think that it's necessarily our earth in the future, it may be, but I lean toward a whole new universe or something like the sorts in the future. Here are the reasons :
(I added brackets to highlight specific parts of the text.)
Revelation 21:1: "Then I saw a [[new heaven]] and a new earth, for the [[first heaven and the first earth had passed away]], and the sea was no more."
This suggests the present universe may actually cease to exist, to be replaced by something entirely new. In the Bible the word heavens (the greek word ouranos used in this passage and the next one I will give you) is often used to talk about the sky. It can either refer to the physical heavens (e.g. the earths atmosphere, outer space) OR the dwelling place of God)
Another verse that helps support this,
2 Peter 3:10-13: "The [[heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire]], and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare... But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a [[new heaven]] and a new earth."
So this is why I lean towards the idea this points to the destruction of the current universe, followed by the creation of a new one.
Exactly! Read also my comment
2:00 What does the red part of the arrow mean when it says “nations deceived by Satan”? Are the nations no longer deceived by Satan?
It’s talking about the Israelites constant turning away from God’s commandments and all the other nations that committed idolatry, once Jesus came he clarified the differences between right and wrong and made it accessible to Jews and gentiles alike
Good looking out thanks@@Riqo2Suave
Hello brother I would really like to see a video made by you with something like "Eastern Orthodoxy vs Protestants" or something like that beacuase I was raised as an orthodox but I feel more connected with protestantism and i think they are right and eventhough I want to be a Protestant cause that's how I feel better and more connected with God my family is pushing me towards orthodoxy and trying to find every reason to stay orthodox and I would like to show them a video made by you about this topic! Thanks for everything and God bless you!
YOU FORGOT CATHOLICS!
And Orthodoxs
The way you broke down how all denominations are serving God, then broke down individual roles of people from those who evangelize to the bishops or "generals" is absolutely perfect. So much division in the family when we are if the same family with different parts. I love your short simple explanation man, spot on
Catholics: apparently we haven't done shit. Except all those things, but more and better and for longer.
Also, heaven is currently occupied by saints, right now. Your statements aren't even vaguely biblical. Stop being absurd.
Otherwise, great video.
Charitably, I'll say that he forgot to label the parts of the video where Catholics introduced the university system, hospitals etc.
@@alisterrebelo9013 kinda like the final "the only ones building the kingdom are the mainline Protestants". Just leaving out Catholics and Orthodox like it's nothing.
I love your message about Christians focus needing to be on bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, as that is the whole message of the Bible, and our vocation and calling as Christ followers. I want to say this with as much grace as I can, because I truly believe in the work you are promoting for the Kingdom of Heaven in your stewardship of the Reconquista movement that you and others are facilitating for the body of Christ. I wish you had more grace, and understanding for evangelical protestants. I agree with you that many evangelical churches are missing the mark with their messages that can produce lukewarm Christianity, but there are also many evangelical pastors and churches that are fully doing the work of fulfilling the great commission.
I'm a part of an evangelical protestant, nondenominational church in Nashville and they are deeply spiritual, working in the local community, facilitating my University through the church, among many other fruitful ministries. I've only been a part of this church for the past 4 months and I'll admit, I was initially skeptical of their effectiveness in their ministry, but I've come to see how much they truly love one another and how deeply they teach the Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit. And they aren't just preaching about "Going to Heaven," but building the kingdom of Heaven on earth. I don't think its fair for you to talk about evangelical protestants as ineffective for the gospel. Rather, as believers, we need to promote unity in the body of Christ.
"For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another" Romans 12:4-5.
"I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgement." 1 Corinthians 1:10
I know this was a long message, and I don't know if you'll even see this, but I just wanted to say again, I really believe in the work you are faithfully doing and I've really enjoyed watching your videos for a while now, I just hope you have more grace towards evangelical protestants in the future. If you're ever in the Nashville area, I think it would be great if you came to my church to see their ministry and the work they are fulfilling to advance the gospel, even if you have theological disagreements with them.
I am sorry. Nothing will make me approve of non-denominational churches.
@ So do you believe that Christians that go to denominational churches are not saved?
@@redeemedzoomer6053 So then do you believe that Christians who go to nondenominational / evangelical churches are not saved and that God isn't active and working in these churches?
@@FullMetalSnake77 I didn’t say not saved, but it’s an Evangelical error to say something must be necessary for salvation in order to matter
@@redeemedzoomer6053 I apologize, I didn't mean for my last reply to come off in hostility. I'm curious what you mean by something being necessary for salvation, and where you believe that comes from for evangelical theology?
My main argument is that I fully believe that God is active and working in all mainline Christian denominations of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. As all carry aspects of God's will and make up different members of the body of Christ. And for the latter including all mainline protestant churches, including evangelical denominations.
As a Christian who grew up in the church, left, then came back with a desire to truly know the scriptures this is not a surprise at all. the church has done a poor job with this topic and highlights how little Christians read their bible
I think it's the media that promotes the view that if we are good people we will go to heaven. Those who read their bibles know that there will be a new heaven and new Earth, and that we will reign alongside Christ in the new Earth
Getting real close to Charismatic stuff here Zoom. I like it.
My pastor is not my general. Pastors do not have rank that exceeds any other Christian.
I’m Gods child as any other of His and I’ll be darned if I report to anybody but the Lord Himself
If you can hear God's will personally then great. But I'd advice you to defer authority to those who can, if you can't. You can get far simply following the Bible's instructions but keep in mind that the actual core of the entire deal is that some people can hear God, and you'd be an absolute moron to ignore them.
This is nothing to say whether your "pastor" can hear God. I personally know unbiblical heretics proclaim themselves "pastors" all the time. You can usually tell they're lying because what they preach clearly contradicts God's past words... but God's words are infinite, eternal, and always in unity.
The logical conclusion of “Kingdom Theology” is Catholicism
Trent and RZ with amazingly based videos today. Lord Jesus may your Kingdom come on earth 👏
Bro you really had me going in the first 50 seconds. Patience really is a virtue.
What is the choir at 3:00 called?
I am Catholic but some of your stuff is top notch mate ❤️
This is genuinley something evangelicals need to hear. I've heard too many people talking about 'going to heaven' and it simply isn't true.
Now, if heaven is the new earth, Is hell also going to be on the new Earth?
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
Luke 23:43 KJV
Thanks for clearing that up... I wasn't too sure if God will make a new Earth or Make this one perfect again.
Not entirely sure about this, but isn't the new earth a different place? I interpreted it as we all get bodily assumed, the old world gets ditched, and God makes a new one that fulfills the old.
It's a recreation and renewal or resurrection if you will, of this world. It's not ditched. It's resurrected.
It's more of restoring the Old/Current World.
That's how I read it too new heaven and a new earth the old one is getting ditched fits into the orthodox idea in a way of the entirety of nature having fell we're not the only thing that dies. I think Satan gets into the current heaven, Earth and heaven subsequently becomes hellish then like the ark those who are in Christ leave this place through him and live in the new earth/heaven.
2 Peter 3:10-14
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall I burned 1 up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Sounds like a new earth and new heaven, not just renewed.
As a JW, I can agree with most of everything said in this video, especially the parts about our future hopes rest on making the earth into a paradise again where there is no sickness, suffering, or death.
We may have some differences elsewhere in theology, but I just wanted to say I appreciate the video and the areas where we may have some common ground. Been a subscriber of yours for a couple years now
So… oooh heaven is a place on earth?
No. Heaven is an actual place seperate from the Earth, but we as Christians should strive to help make the Earth more like Heaven. That's the gist of what Zoomer was saying
That was a fantastic explanation of the kingdom of heaven vs pearly gates heaven. It would be great if you did something similar on the body/bride of christ?
Good message but poor execution. Making the title and thumb nail sound like heaven doesn't exist isn't very good.
Colonizing the galaxy with the Kingdom of Heaven sounds so epic
Bruh, where are the RCC and Orthodox?
Outside of US so by default we do not exist and even if we do, we doesn't count because we are stupid idolatrous heretics😌
Protestant bias, they all have some anti catholicism, even if the don't know it. RZ mostly respects the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, but he still tries to dismiss them
@@ingenieriaavanzada3391he doesnt dismiss tus he just forgot or couldnt think of pne cos honestly we do all of them and are the reason for the spread in the first place
AMEN!!!
But as someone who grew up Pentecostal (and Catholic for that matter) I can confirm that evangelicals do believe in the second coming of Jesus in the future and participating in doing God’s work here on earth now as a society. We just happen to put emphasize the personal relationship part. (Love God, love your neighbor)
I know you have this high tier/low tier view of the denominations but the way I see it if you are a Bible-based born again Christian then there is no tier list. Only brothers and sisters in Christ.
Thank you brother for your videos! May God continue to bless you, guide you, teach you, and pour out His Spirit upon you! Until your cup overflows!
Amen.
So why is Heaven not a separate location you go to but Hell is?
RZ explicitly says that Jesus is in heaven and we do indeed go there when we die. He just focuses in the fact that the point of the gospel it's not getting to go to heaven, but creating the kingdom on Earth, and seeing it fully realized with the second coming.
