Funny to think at one point I WAS this Christian. I WAS definitely 100% biblically illiterate and Furtick was my "online" pastor. Now I spend 2-3 hours on one verse.
brother, you cannot be serious. 2-3 hours on one verse? That's not even reading the Bible. Its ok if we don't understand something, we are mere human beings. If you don't understand it, ask God for help and just move on. Eventually you will get it bro.
It is shameful that Furtick is discouraging his son from reading the bible, maybe he is afraid that his son would challenge him on scripture. People, please read your bible. I know if you pray and ask the Lord to open his word to you and hide it in your heart, he will answer your prayers, and the word will become new, and you will hunger to read the word of GOD. Thank you, Corey, with one R for sharing the word with us. The Lord has blessed you with a talent for teaching the word and I love the zeal you have for the word of GOD. Please continue to share the word of GOD.
Excellent point. Still trying to figure out how Furtick got through seminary school. He must have been absent three out of every four days he was there.
LEVITICUS was how, the jews were outliving the other people.. Ceremonial laws, about clean and unvlean animals They also were washing more, than the gentile groups Yesr of jubilee
My son use to go to Elevation, but his pastor was one of the associate pastors. My son said he started feeling pressed in his spirit when he would walk in the building. Praise God he left that church
I'm still a new follower in Christ, so this was very helpful. I originally started reading the Bible with intentions of reading it from front to back, but I was told that was not necessary. That was online (by the way) which was a huge mistake and I know that now, this was even before I found a home church. Well the more deeper I've gotten into the Bible, I notice references constantly that refer to the Old Testament, and sometimes I don't understand. I'm going to reevaluate and start from the beginning. Thank you for this Brother, I have much to learn.
It’s thousands of pages and many things covered- so of course it’s daunting for anyone! But that’s because it’s God’s Word and speaks truths about Him and the very life we have been given! It’s a blessing God gave us so much! I’ve read through several times and I’m constantly having to go back and re examine - and I thank God for that as it keeps me focused and growing in the wisdom knowledge and life it provides! “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from the mouth of the Lord” And what a blessing there is bread for a lifetime and beyond ! I hope you are encouraged to go through it like you said. It’s incredibly difficult.. at first- but as you (as we all do) continue to go through it no matter how long or how many times, it will continue to cause you to grow in the knowledge of God and begin to make more sense little by little. And that’s also why it’s great to converse with others and spend time asking and praying about it with the Lord, instead of just relying on ourselves “In all your ways acknowledge and trust in the Lord; do not lean on your own understanding, but trust in Him- and he shall make your path straight” Again with love and encouragement I hope that you take the steps to go through the scripture whatever the pace may be and gain the invaluable treasures of going through His Word! “All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus Christ” and revealed to those who receive his word and trust in Him! God bless! 🫡
All false doctrines survive by reading scripture as a bunch of random thoughts slammed together to make a big book. It's not.... The Bible is a whole and tells a complete story. Reading from start to finish isn't necessary but reading with context is the most important. Water baptism saves, works salvation, calvinism, word of faith movement, prosperity gospel, etc, all operate by the same method. Every false doctrine requires that the reader jump all around the Bible, finding verses that seem to support their beliefs while simultaneously ignoring the overall context. For example.... The advocate for water baptism saves will quote Acts 2:38. But when confronted with the whole story in context, they completely ignore anything that is said and jump straight to Mark 16 (or another proof text of choice). They pluck verses out of the middle of a paragraph from the middle of a chapter from the middle of a book from the middle of the Bible and lobb them like scriptural hand grenades. When confronted with a verse that completely contradicts their interpretation of their proof text, they again jump to a totally different verse that's not even about the same topic in its context. This requires that the advocate of the false doctrine absolutely believe that the Bible contradicts itself, though they will never admit it. If context is added to the proof texts of a false doctrine, the doctrine dies a slow, miserable death. On the surface, all false doctrines can be "proven biblically" as long as the proof texts are used in stand alone fashion, disregarding any and all context.
@@djohnson3093 context is definitely key. It’s also worth mentioning that while it isn’t mandatory to know the original manuscripts as an individual the fact that we have them and they weren’t written in modern English but rather were transliterated def helps to discern the grammar including the context (of course there are fine English and other modern language transliterations) - but it comes back to if someone is going to twist or ask “did God really say..” then we definitely need to be able to go to the word and properly handle the text (and if it’s a case of something we can’t comprehend- then we aren’t to exceed it to make it say something it doesn’t) And I agree an individual doesn’t have to go in order (as some of the books are placed in different order depending on whether it is chronological or theological) but it definitely helps that is at least the goal at some point in order to grasp the context more concretely or at least avoid “jumping around” as you mentioned. It also depends on the circumstances of what is being brought up in terms of conversations topics or in contending. Sadly, as you pointed out, too often it’s a game or contest to some for their own selfish reasons (eisegesis) rather than being selfless to learn from the scripture especially to the edification of others (exegesis). But that is nothing new in terms of those having itchy ears or desiring to scratch others’ when it comes to false/unqualified teachers etc On a positive note, even though that seems to be rampantly on display - there does seem to be just as many people beginning to and sticking with reading the word and trusting in God! For we know as God has said “Heaven and earth shall pass away but My words remain for ever” God bless and 🫡
This is exactly me I initially read the 4 gospels, acts, Romans, then started psalms Even though I was reading, I wasn't really learning So I fully restarted on the 4 gospels, and began taking notes when necessary
@@MartinJr.. I think it’s fair to say everyone struggles or jumbles through scripture at first and sometimes longer than we should 😆 there’s a process to learning! its only daunting because we as humans have little to no patience and limited understanding- so as ‘difficult’ as it may seem ..at first.. it’s a great way to be able to affirm what it is we’re reading - as God wants us to grow in our knowledge of him not lean on our own finite information/knowledge. So def encouragement to you, and the same can be done with the ‘OT’ (albeit takes a little longer) and then in conjunction with the gospel things will start to make more and more sense and become more and more concrete as we grow- as that what scripture is for - the power unto salvation and drawing closer to God through Him and His Word!! God bless 🫡
Reading the full Bible is so important for understand who God is!! It’s so much good stuff, we can’t be afraid to read it. It won’t always be a lesson regarding something in our life now, but learning about God will never fail you. Getting a study bible has helped me a lot in understanding scriptures better. There’s just no way you can understand it fully without some help, I’ve been in exodus for about a month now. I’m taking my time, researching things I don’t understand and journaling. As we grow in Christ we have to have a deeper understanding. I’m also in a Bible study group. We have been in Acts for quite a while. We can spend an hour on only one or 2 chapters. I understand wanting to read it quickly to have an overview but as we grow, we have to get in depth.
Solid Brother you are exactly right there is a epidemic of the scriptures being ripped out of context, and not understood. There are people in churches building whole doctrines over patched Work scriptures. Again, thank you for the fine video.
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸and also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
This is so wrong😢 I was saved by reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I started off light, and I ended up finishing it in around 40 days. That saved me. I didn’t go to a church. I read the Word of God and the Spirit of God changed me. I tell EVERYONE to read it. Let the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob work through His Word. I’m in my 7th time reading it through. In 1 Chronicles ❤️ Jesus is in the BEGINNING ❤️ it’s beautiful! Honestly I have been struggling to find ppl who are reading the Bible like me and who are passionate about the WORD of God! The road to seek Jesus Christ is NARROW. Remember that. 😊 I’m looking for Jesus’ return. I want to read it as many years I was alive 😊 I got ways to go cause I’ve only been saved for like a year. But the intimacy and the Love I feel 😍 UNMATCHED! I was telling my Mom yesterday, I have looked for this Love in relationships and not realizing that with God alone I am complete❤️ READ it in seeking the FULLNESS of God. You’ll never regret seeking Jesus 😂 I cry a lot about the Goodness of God 😊 Anyways, Seek Jesus! He is THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
When I first read the bible, I read the New Testament First, and then went back to the beginning and read it through Genesis to Revelations. The New Testament is straightforward and easier to understand, so when I finished and read the OT I recognized Jesus’s lessons and presence throughout.
All scripture is inspired...let's repeat All scripture. Just got done doing some studying, prophetic word in Ezekial and Jeremiah, and new testament acts, but would have missed that if I settled for a nugget.
I am glad I read the Bible front to back all through, only difference is when I get to about the 5th book I started reading the New Testament along side the Old Testament and I realized I finished the New Testament 5 times before I completed the Old Testament 🤷🏽♂️ the Old Testament is just Built Like that but, I believe personally every Christian should read the Bible from front to back at least once in their life once they are able to….i actually finished reading the complete thing in my first year, I’m just coming up to 2 years in December….the is rough but way better than I had expected and I’m grateful….thank God for Brother Corey because I’m going through his Bible studies on the Channel now from Genesis to revelation even though Brother Corey hasn’t completed the series yet…hopefully by the time I’m caught up he’ll reach Revelations …I’m just going through slowly doesn’t matter how long it takes.
I highly recommend the One Year Bible. Each day a section of the OT, a section of the NT , Psalms, and Proverbs. Each section chronological. In print and online.
You're absolutely right about the old testament. I started seeing Jesus all over the place in the old testament as the Angel of the Lord, The Angel of God, The commander of Heavens Armies, the Son of God, the Son of Man. Moses spoke of the prophet that was to come plus Moses entire life and ministry is a shadow of Jesus life and ministry. The old testament made the gospels come alive more. It's all one story broken into two parts. Now I do admit there are some hard to read portions of scripture especially the laws but there are some nuggets of wisdom interwoven throughout those portions too. Man as soon as I started seeing Jesus in the old testament, I started falling in love with scripture. It's so interesting to me now. Our God is so brilliant and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. I pray that this generation will have a renewed passion for scripture.
Thank you Smart Christian channel! The way this guy teaches is just like the way we were taught in the oneness Pentecostal and I couldn't be more thankful for God opening my spiritual eyes and ears to the truth and how scripture is suppose to be read! I try to show some of the members that are still in the oneness but they will not hear it and they nash teeth at me and tell me im the one going to hell. I can not not tell them the good news! Christ is God and we must place our Faith in him! Praying to God introduced Corey minor Sir Walter Jones and Anthony Rogers in my life and they have absolutely helped with my family and I to understand scripture and the way we're to understand scripture. Thank you all! God bless y'all and y'all ministry!
Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". This verse is considered to be a summary of the gospel, and it emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God that is not earned through human effort or good deeds. The verse also suggests that people should accept God's forgiveness as a gift, just as they would accept a birthday gift.
Besides the book of Hebrew, Leviticus is great to get into and truly read for understanding of self control, I read the books of Ephesians to Judas over and over so I may know where I stand with God, and how I am to conduct myself before God and within a fellowship (church) what's OK and when to just walk away from bad grooming or teaching in giving God your very best, not hand me downs.
Bible reading for me has been progressively profitable over seasons. First, like that new baby hearing the Bible stories but not having an understanding. That's why parents cultivate the discipline in their children. They get that word in seed form and it breaks open in different seasons of our lives as we grow up, and grow through things. But we can't pull on what's not there. Sometimes the wind will blow and you'll hear a scripture in your heart... or a bird will fly by with a worm when you're worrying about your bills and you'll remember that not one of them falls to the ground without God knowing. So it's more organic - but only after you've mastered the disciplines. And the onus is on the Holy Spirit to open it up. All we have to do is read it, pray over it, and meditate on it. Takes the pressure off of us when we know that the author of the book will be the one who reveals it and connects the dots. It's so valuable. Could not survive much of my life without it.
Good day sir... you have been educating me greatly.. thanks you for your hard work and keep it up...where can I get a copy of the bible book time line..
You really have to study the biblw to get understanding by the power of the Holy Spirit. Reading is great, but can turn into checking a box, if reading a chapter a day without applying hermeneutics, comparing scripture to scripture, and looking at the original language
As far as reading the Bible is concerned, His son should have been getting a steady diet of rightly divided Holy Scriptures from him as his son's Pastor. So reading the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation shouldn't be a problem.
There is a lot wrong with Steven Furtick, but what bothers me most is that if he is a “ pastor “ as he claims, then why not read the Bible with his son?
This might be the one thing I disagree with you, Corey. I tried reading the bible front to back and eventually found myself dragging feet to read it. Eventually I just said ya know what I'm just going straight to the New Testament, and I did, and I read the gospel. And the rest made sense. It truly depends on the individual. I woould prefer new believers to just hesd straight to the gospels.
This is so disheartening. When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we don’t need someone trying to be deep and spiritual, who wants to “shine” before men. We need sincere teachers who are learned, not a novice, who understands the need for SOUND BIBLICAL TEACHING. SMH………….our VERY LIVES depend on it……………………….
May Yah bless his son; he has the right idea! What's the use of reading if you gain no understanding. If he feels that a chapter a day is fitting for his pace of learning and understanding, then that's completely ok. Considering he's young, no need to rush if the Lord has willed him to have more years.
The easiest way to read the Bible is to read it through the lense of the investigative questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and sometimes How. Stick to the basics and you can't go wrong.
Thats the best way to read the Bible is from beginning to end. It may take me a minute but its okay i have all the time in the world. And this teacher telling his son to just cherry pick scriptures and for him not to read it from front to back is leading him astray. We as Christians need to understand that the Bible is the bread of life and the living water that feeds your soul. Its not designed for your entertainment or amusement or to just make you feel good.
"Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years"."A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats" - Charles Spurgeon
It's nothing but the word, the whole word of truth to set us free from sin and saved in Christ Jesus, so help us Heavenly Father through your Holy Spirit in reading as it is written for us to be enlighten by godly man who God used.
Don't care for Steven AT ALL ,but I completely agree with reading the Bible from old to new "Systematic theology" doesn't necessarily mean reading in order but realizing that the Spirit of God is teaching and the Bible it self wasn't written in chronological order. We should always look for the message in what we read otherwise we are gathering Head knowledge and not The living Word. (How to live today) Sorry but you are wrong again. What's the use in getting the storyline and not being able to apply it to our lives....The huge problem is you trying to tell children of god how to do what you do...( my thoughts)
Disagree. Starting from the beginning gives you a foundation. You wouldn't start reading (for the first time) the book of revelations. You would bot understand the symbolism, metaphors, and imageries. The new testament us but on the old testament. You wouldn't read acts before the gospels.
@@naeembourne2474 Symbolisms, Metaphors and imageries? Gods Word is the living Word, and because it moves, (metaphor) it Seeks its purpose, you can start anywhere. Now, if one is reading because They desire the knowledge vs. A Message for their life, than by all means read it like a STUDY GUIDE. My point is not everyone reads the Word of God, in fact many don't, so if you open it up to the book of Revelations, I believe God gives the hunger for more. God is sovereign and he can move when he wants, on whom he wants, by the Word of God. Doesn't take a beginning to end system to get through the Word of God. I started reading a little bit at a time and started in John. That's been many years ago but I have gone through the entire bible but I did not start in genesis initially. I eventually started in the beginning but needed to develop a desire..(Holy Spirit infused) and it's okay to disagree. Go in peace..
@@Eatingwithkim I was referring to first-time readers. Seasoned reader can open anywhere and read because they have already read the 'foundational' books. As for metaphors and symbolism, they are all in the book of Daniel and revelations. For instance, John talks about the number 666 being on their forehead. Is that literal or a metaphors as opposed to the battle of Armageddon....I believe that is literal
As a child, i did read it from Genesis, but the first time when I started back as an adult, i used what i call, the "star wars" method. That's starting with either Matthew or John and reading to the end and then going to Genesis and reading through, wash and repeat. But yeah, skipping around i believe is not very effective, but I definitely encourage multiple readings, because as you gain understanding of the breath, the nuance makes more sense. Now, one of my more favorite parts of Scripture is the genealogies. Blessings in Jesus.
Amen! Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". This verse is considered to be a summary of the gospel, and it emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God that is not earned through human effort or good deeds. The verse also suggests that people should accept God's forgiveness as a gift, just as they would accept a birthday gift.
God may be working on his son. His son had a desire to learn the word in its entirety… that obviously didn’t come from his home teaching. God is good and Mr. Furtik exposed himself… it’s about his ego and he is teaching his son the same narcigesis.
Pastor Cory, so appreciate your balance of the scripture! I’m so tired of these preachers/teachers rewriting the meaning of the Word. They no longer teach the whole Word in “ context”. They all are basically become motivational speakers who use scriptures to fit THEIR narrative/belief system. The problem is, they hook people because there are threads of truth mixed in with their false interpretations of scriptures. Also they hook people because no one checks for themselves if what they’re saying aligns with scriptures. Lazy Christians. Enough said. 🥰👍
I’m grateful for the day it finally clicked in my mind that the Bible is not about me, it’s first and foremost about God, and his redemptive work in man. Since then, it has drastically changed the way I view, read, and interpret Scripture and I’m enjoying reading my Bible more than ever.
He has good advice for the me centered gospel. By reading the Bible this way, you are making it about you instead of reading it for what it is, a book about God
Why would you ever discourage your son to read the Bible slowly? Reading it too fast is what causes Christians to miss out on so much. Enjoy the Word and enjoy disecting every letter, every word, every sentence. That's how you're able to extract so much knowledge and wisdom
What Furtick is doing is something I like to call “fortune cookie narcigesis.” For many like him, it’s about ignoring context and seeking a solid historical and grammatical interpretation in favor of a self-absorbed application and making the Bible about us rather than about what God is doing with and for His people within the context of the passage.
When it comes to women teaching in the church, the book is consistent that a woman shouldn't teach over a man. Genesis mentions because of Eve sinning, man is suppose to have dominion over woman.
Did you take down your video on baptism with Chris? I didn't have time to watch it the other day and wanted to watch it now. I looked through your videos and can't find it. I would love to see it. All my life I have heard so much back and forth about it. I have been in various churches during my life with some clinging to one view and some to the other. Thanks for all you do!
The Bible is a spiritual book, so it must also be approached spiritually. The Bible must be read with prayer and a meditative attitude. Otherwise you will never see light in the Bible. We absolutely must consider the context and other general conditions of the text. But that is not the focus. We often forget that the spirit of Scripture needs to be touched
The last time (only time) I read the bible all through I read it with the intention of trying to understand God's character so Leviticus was super interesting. The issue is modern Christianity sees Jesus with a different character than God. Christianity is not about you, it is about God. God does not play a part in what you are doing, you play a part to play in what God is doing.
I always thought it was smart to read the Bible from beginning to end. But a lot of people always say I would start on John start in Luke Start In Corinthians … I didn’t really get why we shouldn’t start from the beginning ❤
I had attended Elevation Church! All Three different locations where I lived! However, I were kind of with a homeless organization and felt pressed to serve GOD in that type of manner! Attending church freely and becoming big forced to go to church are two totally different scenarios that can push one from attending church! But, the pastor never went to The Bible!
I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!
Progressive Christian Churches (if there is such a thing) only acknowledge and talk about ONE member of the trinity. They don’t like to acknowledge the Father’s wrath and HATE of sin.
@@926paajathat’s fine that you don’t like it. What you’re not understanding is how God works biblically, Again I don’t agree with his teachings or watch his sermons. But guess what? There are ppl that truly believe in the gospel, live for God daily that has come across these songs that’s still giving him praises. Yall can get so lost in theology you forget that even out of bad God works together things for HIS good. The Lord knows the heart of believers that just want to praise his name through music and if the ppl making the music or the pastor is false and is only doing it for gain God will deal with those people. But I could be wrong 🤷🏾♂️ knowing that the pastor doesn’t comprehend basic theology then maybe ppl that truly just want to listen to the praise music should leave it alone 🤷🏾♂️
@@hebrewrld you can listen to whatever it makes no difference to me … but don’t be deluded into thinking it is praise or worship. And based on your response it is clear that some of that ooy hooey gooey false doctrine is part of your narrative. You pulled out some of the ole faithful virtue signaling gaslighting christianeese that everyone does when they just want to bury their heads in the sand. Bethel hellisomg elevation maverick city and the like are doctrinally void musicians.
@@hebrewrld The Bible provides examples of people considered wicked who, at times, sought to worship God. However, true and proper worship requires a sincere heart and repentance. True worship involves not just outward actions but a heart that seeks God in sincerity, humility, and repentance. Without a genuine relationship with God and a heart turned toward Him, worship cannot be considered proper, regardless of external actions. Therefore, disobedient people cannot offer true worship to God. It is better to worship from our hearts than to listen to empty noise.
The Son is in the first word of the first verse of the Bible. In fact, he is represented in the first letter of the first word in the Bible: the letter ב (bet) is representative of the Son.
@@ShonkySquad I would encourage you to look up some videos on בראשית (beresheet). In the Hebrew alefbet, the alef is representative of the Father (amongst other things) and the bet is representative of the Son (amongst other things). The first 2 letters in בראשית (bet resh) means "Son".
Furtick joking about his ego just revealed the true nature of his heart. "...for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." Hes even feeding his pride by talking about how someone fed his pride. What a joke.
Looking for something deep to fit your own life or situation that is not within context and taking it to mean something the text does not is "Eisegesis". Taking a text and turning it into a parable where there is none is "allegorizing" the text Taking the text and placing you or your audience within the text is called "Narcigesis". This is how these false teachers exceed what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6). The Word of God is sufficient as it is.
Respectfully, I disagree. Not to say that I agree with Steven Furtick. I just think a new Christian or spiritually baby Christian benefits greatly from starting in G.E.P.C. (Galatians and the next few books). Those books are quick reads that cover the gospel, our walk as a Christian and fellowship with the body of Christ, and begin the development of a biblical worldview. Even Romans is a great start as well. It covers the gospel and sin and gives a new believer a healthy fear of God that then leads to a reverence for His majesty and grace. After that, then I’d suggest reading it cover to cover. I say this as someone who loves loves LOVES the word of God. I started with a philosophy that I stole from Ray Comfort “no Bible no breakfast, no read no feed”.
Jesus shows up when God is telling what will happen with Adam and Eve. Each book is referenced in the New Testament. You don’t have a New Testament without the Old Testament. I’ve been reading the Bible since I got saved at 6 and still finding new nuggets of fascinating truth that stays with me and comes up to convict me what I need to do better. I don’t like it when pastors speak to a verse over talking about the entire chapter.
Nothing wrong with a chapter a day. But if you do, make sure you can answer the following questions afterwards: - Who wrote that chapter? Some books/letters can have more than one author. - When was it written? - To whom was it being written? - Is the chapter descriptive, prescriptive or both? If you can't answer all of this, then you're just reading. You're not studying nor truly learning. Big difference. And I'm encouraging you, not the opposite. Grace and peace.
Don't let your feelings dictate anything about your faith. Remove the "christian way" from your mind. Realize that Yahusha never called His people "christians". You're grafted into Israel upon emersion into His covenant. This faith is not "christianity". This faith is Hebrew. Everything about this faith is Hebrew.
@@kathleenking47 Torah is not the same thing as ceremonial law or sacrificial law. The Torah is the Ten Commandments. You know, the covenant written on tablets of stone that are contained in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ten Commandments were written by the very finger of Yah Himself signifying their eternal authority. Christians are trained to be stupid about the faith. Christianity teaches lies, uselessness and things of no profit. Jeremiah16:19-21. Christians think they're something special. Christians are prideful, arrogant, ignorant, complacent, lazy, and completely delusional human beings.
So many ways to interpret the Bible BUT IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS : the Bible is ABOUT JESUS ! Then you will not interpret the Bible correctly. You can read the Bible finding great biblical principles on how to live your life but if you don’t understand what Jesus did on the cross and how the the Holy Spirit guides us to do the will of the father. Then you’re just doing good works for selfish reasons 🤦🏽♀️. I love Jesus with all my heart and I’ve learned there are people who love Jesus and there are people who LIVE FOR HIM! I aspire to live for the one who gave his life for me. To commune with the father life he did every chance he got. To overcome wickedness and temptation with the help of the Spirit of God to lead me to righteousness & holiness . I’m not perfect the Bible says no one is perfect no not one. But I strive for holiness
Anyone can answer please...How many Christians make up the church? Now once you have arrived at that number, how many would you say are biblically illiterate?
That’s why people don’t understand it is because they are cheery picking. And not learning the twelve mysteries of God. Revealing the good and perfect will of God.
Can you tell me what Bible software you use in your videos. I would like to get the screen information of the Old Testament and New Testament timeline you are referencing in this video. Also the side by side Hebrew text with Bible translation I daw in another video. Thank you for your ministry in the body of Christ so we are not deceived in the last days.😊
We may receive five Crowns 👑👑👑👑👑 for being good stewards of Christ Jesus. In Believing, Preaching, Teaching, Discipling, Incorruptibility and Witnessing. Don’t let Satan steal your Crowns to lay at Jesus feet when you get to Heaven.
Funny to think at one point I WAS this Christian. I WAS definitely 100% biblically illiterate and Furtick was my "online" pastor. Now I spend 2-3 hours on one verse.
brother, you cannot be serious. 2-3 hours on one verse? That's not even reading the Bible. Its ok if we don't understand something, we are mere human beings. If you don't understand it, ask God for help and just move on. Eventually you will get it bro.
Jesus is present throughout the Bible. From beginning to the end.
It is shameful that Furtick is discouraging his son from reading the bible, maybe he is afraid that his son would challenge him on scripture. People, please read your bible. I know if you pray and ask the Lord to open his word to you and hide it in your heart, he will answer your prayers, and the word will become new, and you will hunger to read the word of GOD. Thank you, Corey, with one R for sharing the word with us. The Lord has blessed you with a talent for teaching the word and I love the zeal you have for the word of GOD. Please continue to share the word of GOD.
Excellent point. Still trying to figure out how Furtick got through seminary school. He must have been absent three out of every four days he was there.
LEVITICUS was how, the jews were outliving the other people..
Ceremonial laws, about clean and unvlean animals
They also were washing more, than the gentile groups

I’d rather have him read one chapter a day and understand what he’s read than rush through it still be ignorant. Son should read it in order.
Who's standing with JESUS CHRIST for 2024🙏
Amen!
Amen. This year and forever more. Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
And not only 2024 But until the Lord Jesus take me home to be with Him and my Heavenly Father ! MARANATHA !
Following until he calls my name and takes me with him 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️
ONLY Jesus Christ!
Forever
My son use to go to Elevation, but his pastor was one of the associate pastors. My son said he started feeling pressed in his spirit when he would walk in the building. Praise God he left that church
So the associate pastor preaches? Or do they watch Steven on the screen?
Praise God, He leads us out of error
I'm still a new follower in Christ, so this was very helpful. I originally started reading the Bible with intentions of reading it from front to back, but I was told that was not necessary. That was online (by the way) which was a huge mistake and I know that now, this was even before I found a home church. Well the more deeper I've gotten into the Bible, I notice references constantly that refer to the Old Testament, and sometimes I don't understand. I'm going to reevaluate and start from the beginning. Thank you for this Brother, I have much to learn.
It’s thousands of pages and many things covered- so of course it’s daunting for anyone! But that’s because it’s God’s Word and speaks truths about Him and the very life we have been given! It’s a blessing God gave us so much!
I’ve read through several times and I’m constantly having to go back and re examine - and I thank God for that as it keeps me focused and growing in the wisdom knowledge and life it provides!
“Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from the mouth of the Lord”
And what a blessing there is bread for a lifetime and beyond !
I hope you are encouraged to go through it like you said. It’s incredibly difficult.. at first- but as you (as we all do) continue to go through it no matter how long or how many times, it will continue to cause you to grow in the knowledge of God and begin to make more sense little by little.
And that’s also why it’s great to converse with others and spend time asking and praying about it with the Lord, instead of just relying on ourselves
“In all your ways acknowledge and trust in the Lord; do not lean on your own understanding, but trust in Him- and he shall make your path straight”
Again with love and encouragement I hope that you take the steps to go through the scripture whatever the pace may be and gain the invaluable treasures of going through His Word!
“All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus Christ” and revealed to those who receive his word and trust in Him!
God bless! 🫡
All false doctrines survive by reading scripture as a bunch of random thoughts slammed together to make a big book.
It's not....
The Bible is a whole and tells a complete story.
Reading from start to finish isn't necessary but reading with context is the most important.
Water baptism saves, works salvation, calvinism, word of faith movement, prosperity gospel, etc, all operate by the same method.
Every false doctrine requires that the reader jump all around the Bible, finding verses that seem to support their beliefs while simultaneously ignoring the overall context.
For example.... The advocate for water baptism saves will quote Acts 2:38. But when confronted with the whole story in context, they completely ignore anything that is said and jump straight to Mark 16 (or another proof text of choice).
They pluck verses out of the middle of a paragraph from the middle of a chapter from the middle of a book from the middle of the Bible and lobb them like scriptural hand grenades.
When confronted with a verse that completely contradicts their interpretation of their proof text, they again jump to a totally different verse that's not even about the same topic in its context.
This requires that the advocate of the false doctrine absolutely believe that the Bible contradicts itself, though they will never admit it.
If context is added to the proof texts of a false doctrine, the doctrine dies a slow, miserable death.
On the surface, all false doctrines can be "proven biblically" as long as the proof texts are used in stand alone fashion, disregarding any and all context.
@@djohnson3093 context is definitely key. It’s also worth mentioning that while it isn’t mandatory to know the original manuscripts as an individual the fact that we have them and they weren’t written in modern English but rather were transliterated def helps to discern the grammar including the context (of course there are fine English and other modern language transliterations) - but it comes back to if someone is going to twist or ask “did God really say..” then we definitely need to be able to go to the word and properly handle the text (and if it’s a case of something we can’t comprehend- then we aren’t to exceed it to make it say something it doesn’t)
And I agree an individual doesn’t have to go in order (as some of the books are placed in different order depending on whether it is chronological or theological) but it definitely helps that is at least the goal at some point in order to grasp the context more concretely or at least avoid “jumping around” as you mentioned.
It also depends on the circumstances of what is being brought up in terms of conversations topics or in contending.
Sadly, as you pointed out, too often it’s a game or contest to some for their own selfish reasons (eisegesis) rather than being selfless to learn from the scripture especially to the edification of others (exegesis).
But that is nothing new in terms of those having itchy ears or desiring to scratch others’ when it comes to false/unqualified teachers etc
On a positive note, even though that seems to be rampantly on display - there does seem to be just as many people beginning to and sticking with reading the word and trusting in God! For we know as God has said
“Heaven and earth shall pass away but My words remain for ever”
God bless and 🫡
This is exactly me
I initially read the 4 gospels, acts, Romans, then started psalms
Even though I was reading, I wasn't really learning
So I fully restarted on the 4 gospels, and began taking notes when necessary
@@MartinJr.. I think it’s fair to say everyone struggles or jumbles through scripture at first and sometimes longer than we should 😆 there’s a process to learning!
its only daunting because we as humans have little to no patience and limited understanding- so as ‘difficult’ as it may seem ..at first.. it’s a great way to be able to affirm what it is we’re reading - as God wants us to grow in our knowledge of him not lean on our own finite information/knowledge. So def encouragement to you, and the same can be done with the ‘OT’ (albeit takes a little longer) and then in conjunction with the gospel things will start to make more and more sense and become more and more concrete as we grow- as that what scripture is for - the power unto salvation and drawing closer to God through Him and His Word!!
God bless 🫡
Jesus is in EVERY BOOK. It's about Him and for Him.
YES YOU GET IT!
well its actually for us, but people need to preach the gospels and not paul.
And that's why Mr Corey I read my Bible amen
Reading the full Bible is so important for understand who God is!! It’s so much good stuff, we can’t be afraid to read it. It won’t always be a lesson regarding something in our life now, but learning about God will never fail you. Getting a study bible has helped me a lot in understanding scriptures better. There’s just no way you can understand it fully without some help, I’ve been in exodus for about a month now. I’m taking my time, researching things I don’t understand and journaling. As we grow in Christ we have to have a deeper understanding. I’m also in a Bible study group. We have been in Acts for quite a while. We can spend an hour on only one or 2 chapters. I understand wanting to read it quickly to have an overview but as we grow, we have to get in depth.
Solid Brother you are exactly right there is a epidemic of the scriptures being ripped out of context, and not understood. There are people in churches building whole doctrines over patched Work scriptures. Again, thank you for the fine video.
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️
Hello how do you make such monthly??
I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down🤦🏼of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God🙏.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸and also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
WOW!! Susan .j. Christy I know her too
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
This is so wrong😢 I was saved by reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I started off light, and I ended up finishing it in around 40 days. That saved me. I didn’t go to a church. I read the Word of God and the Spirit of God changed me. I tell EVERYONE to read it. Let the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob work through His Word. I’m in my 7th time reading it through. In 1 Chronicles ❤️ Jesus is in the BEGINNING ❤️ it’s beautiful! Honestly I have been struggling to find ppl who are reading the Bible like me and who are passionate about the WORD of God! The road to seek Jesus Christ is NARROW. Remember that. 😊 I’m looking for Jesus’ return. I want to read it as many years I was alive 😊 I got ways to go cause I’ve only been saved for like a year. But the intimacy and the Love I feel 😍 UNMATCHED! I was telling my Mom yesterday, I have looked for this Love in relationships and not realizing that with God alone I am complete❤️ READ it in seeking the FULLNESS of God. You’ll never regret seeking Jesus 😂 I cry a lot about the Goodness of God 😊 Anyways, Seek Jesus! He is THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
When I first read the bible, I read the New Testament First, and then went back to the beginning and read it through Genesis to Revelations. The New Testament is straightforward and easier to understand, so when I finished and read the OT I recognized Jesus’s lessons and presence throughout.
John 1:1 and confirmed with John 1:14 indicates the presence of Jesus ...
...in the beginning.
All scripture is inspired...let's repeat All scripture. Just got done doing some studying, prophetic word in Ezekial and Jeremiah, and new testament acts, but would have missed that if I settled for a nugget.
I am glad I read the Bible front to back all through, only difference is when I get to about the 5th book I started reading the New Testament along side the Old Testament and I realized I finished the New Testament 5 times before I completed the Old Testament 🤷🏽♂️ the Old Testament is just Built Like that but, I believe personally every Christian should read the Bible from front to back at least once in their life once they are able to….i actually finished reading the complete thing in my first year, I’m just coming up to 2 years in December….the is rough but way better than I had expected and I’m grateful….thank God for Brother Corey because I’m going through his Bible studies on the Channel now from Genesis to revelation even though Brother Corey hasn’t completed the series yet…hopefully by the time I’m caught up he’ll reach Revelations …I’m just going through slowly doesn’t matter how long it takes.
The old testament is 77% of the Bible🤗
I highly recommend the One Year Bible. Each day a section of the OT, a section of the NT , Psalms, and Proverbs. Each section chronological. In print and online.
Yes, it is very, very good. I've been using it since the new year and I love it.
You're absolutely right about the old testament. I started seeing Jesus all over the place in the old testament as the Angel of the Lord, The Angel of God, The commander of Heavens Armies, the Son of God, the Son of Man. Moses spoke of the prophet that was to come plus Moses entire life and ministry is a shadow of Jesus life and ministry. The old testament made the gospels come alive more. It's all one story broken into two parts. Now I do admit there are some hard to read portions of scripture especially the laws but there are some nuggets of wisdom interwoven throughout those portions too. Man as soon as I started seeing Jesus in the old testament, I started falling in love with scripture. It's so interesting to me now. Our God is so brilliant and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. I pray that this generation will have a renewed passion for scripture.
yesss
Facts. I was like ain’t no way he wants prophesied about in the Old Testament.
This is awesome. I could’ve used this decades ago when I received my Lord and savior 😊
Thank you Smart Christian channel! The way this guy teaches is just like the way we were taught in the oneness Pentecostal and I couldn't be more thankful for God opening my spiritual eyes and ears to the truth and how scripture is suppose to be read! I try to show some of the members that are still in the oneness but they will not hear it and they nash teeth at me and tell me im the one going to hell. I can not not tell them the good news! Christ is God and we must place our Faith in him! Praying to God introduced Corey minor Sir Walter Jones and Anthony Rogers in my life and they have absolutely helped with my family and I to understand scripture and the way we're to understand scripture. Thank you all! God bless y'all and y'all ministry!
And said his ego. Yeshua doesn't want us to have egos and pride or it will make us fall.
Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". This verse is considered to be a summary of the gospel, and it emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God that is not earned through human effort or good deeds. The verse also suggests that people should accept God's forgiveness as a gift, just as they would accept a birthday gift.
Besides the book of Hebrew, Leviticus is great to get into and truly read for understanding of self control, I read the books of Ephesians to Judas over and over so I may know where I stand with God, and how I am to conduct myself before God and within a fellowship (church) what's OK and when to just walk away from bad grooming or teaching in giving God your very best, not hand me downs.
Bible reading for me has been progressively profitable over seasons. First, like that new baby hearing the Bible stories but not having an understanding. That's why parents cultivate the discipline in their children. They get that word in seed form and it breaks open in different seasons of our lives as we grow up, and grow through things. But we can't pull on what's not there. Sometimes the wind will blow and you'll hear a scripture in your heart... or a bird will fly by with a worm when you're worrying about your bills and you'll remember that not one of them falls to the ground without God knowing. So it's more organic - but only after you've mastered the disciplines. And the onus is on the Holy Spirit to open it up. All we have to do is read it, pray over it, and meditate on it. Takes the pressure off of us when we know that the author of the book will be the one who reveals it and connects the dots. It's so valuable. Could not survive much of my life without it.
Good day sir... you have been educating me greatly.. thanks you for your hard work and keep it up...where can I get a copy of the bible book time line..
He might be able to email you, but most likely desirably, he always suggests to screenshot the one on screen
Jesus said Moses talked about Him!!!! Furtick shouldn’t be teaching his own kids much less anyone else!!!!!
Good teaching Sir Brother Cory , keep up the good work exposing these false teacher's and preacher's
You really have to study the biblw to get understanding by the power of the Holy Spirit. Reading is great, but can turn into checking a box, if reading a chapter a day without applying hermeneutics, comparing scripture to scripture, and looking at the original language
Do you know about e-bible fellowship studies and open forums?
@@Fernando-qs7bl I have not
@@sspann11 Check it out.
As far as reading the Bible is concerned, His son should have been getting a steady diet of rightly divided Holy Scriptures from him as his son's Pastor. So reading the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation shouldn't be a problem.
That "rightly dividing" verse, is only in the KJV
@@kathleenking47 so what I take is you’re implying that everything in scripture is directly applicable to our daily lives today ?
There is a lot wrong with Steven Furtick, but what bothers me most is that if he is a “ pastor “ as he claims, then why not read the Bible with his son?
Also, he said Jesus doesn't appear until 40 books later when Jesus is Genesis 1:3😇
Jesus has ALWAYS been & will ALWAYS be...
@@robertblackmon1 amen
He needs to shepherd his own son family first before shepherd of others children
This might be the one thing I disagree with you, Corey. I tried reading the bible front to back and eventually found myself dragging feet to read it. Eventually I just said ya know what I'm just going straight to the New Testament, and I did, and I read the gospel. And the rest made sense. It truly depends on the individual. I woould prefer new believers to just hesd straight to the gospels.
Amen brother, keep calling out ungodly behavior!
This is so disheartening. When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we don’t need someone trying to be deep and spiritual, who wants to “shine” before men. We need sincere teachers who are learned, not a novice, who understands the need for SOUND BIBLICAL TEACHING. SMH………….our VERY LIVES depend on it……………………….
Galatians 3. Galatians 5:4!
Be careful when using the Old Testament. We use it to show how Jesus is a better Covenant.
Could u expand on that
The problem is Steven Furtick is a motivational speaker under the guise of a preacher; he approaches the Bible like it's simply a self-help book.
This definitely helped me with some things. Thank you 🙏🏾
May Yah bless his son; he has the right idea! What's the use of reading if you gain no understanding. If he feels that a chapter a day is fitting for his pace of learning and understanding, then that's completely ok. Considering he's young, no need to rush if the Lord has willed him to have more years.
Great job on this video ! ! I am so glad to see you do this video ! ! Biblical illiteracy is destroying the Church ! ! Great information .
He speaks of the Bible as if it’s a motivational book.
The easiest way to read the Bible is to read it through the lense of the investigative questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and sometimes How.
Stick to the basics and you can't go wrong.
What about compare verses asGod the holy spirit may guide?
Thats the best way to read the Bible is from beginning to end. It may take me a minute but its okay i have all the time in the world.
And this teacher telling his son to just cherry pick scriptures and for him not to read it from front to back is leading him astray.
We as Christians need to understand that the Bible is the bread of life and the living water that feeds your soul. Its not designed for your entertainment or amusement or to just make you feel good.
"Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years"."A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats" - Charles Spurgeon
It's nothing but the word, the whole word of truth to set us free from sin and saved in Christ Jesus, so help us Heavenly Father through your Holy Spirit in reading as it is written for us to be enlighten by godly man who God used.
Don't care for Steven AT ALL ,but I completely agree with reading the Bible from old to new "Systematic theology" doesn't necessarily mean reading in order but realizing that the Spirit of God is teaching and the Bible it self wasn't written in chronological order. We should always look for the message in what we read otherwise we are gathering Head knowledge and not The living Word. (How to live today) Sorry but you are wrong again. What's the use in getting the storyline and not being able to apply it to our lives....The huge problem is you trying to tell children of god how to do what you do...( my thoughts)
Disagree. Starting from the beginning gives you a foundation. You wouldn't start reading (for the first time) the book of revelations. You would bot understand the symbolism, metaphors, and imageries. The new testament us but on the old testament. You wouldn't read acts before the gospels.
@@naeembourne2474 Symbolisms, Metaphors and imageries? Gods Word is the living Word, and because it moves, (metaphor) it Seeks its purpose, you can start anywhere. Now, if one is reading because They desire the knowledge vs. A Message for their life, than by all means read it like a STUDY GUIDE. My point is not everyone reads the Word of God, in fact many don't, so if you open it up to the book of Revelations, I believe God gives the hunger for more. God is sovereign and he can move when he wants, on whom he wants, by the Word of God. Doesn't take a beginning to end system to get through the Word of God. I started reading a little bit at a time and started in John. That's been many years ago but I have gone through the entire bible but I did not start in genesis initially. I eventually started in the beginning but needed to develop a desire..(Holy Spirit infused) and it's okay to disagree. Go in peace..
@@Eatingwithkim I was referring to first-time readers. Seasoned reader can open anywhere and read because they have already read the 'foundational' books. As for metaphors and symbolism, they are all in the book of Daniel and revelations. For instance, John talks about the number 666 being on their forehead. Is that literal or a metaphors as opposed to the battle of Armageddon....I believe that is literal
@@naeembourne2474 👍
As a child, i did read it from Genesis, but the first time when I started back as an adult, i used what i call, the "star wars" method. That's starting with either Matthew or John and reading to the end and then going to Genesis and reading through, wash and repeat. But yeah, skipping around i believe is not very effective, but I definitely encourage multiple readings, because as you gain understanding of the breath, the nuance makes more sense. Now, one of my more favorite parts of Scripture is the genealogies. Blessings in Jesus.
If I may, I'm sorry but I have to show you that God himself tells us how to read and study and compare verses. Please look at Ezekiel 28:7-16.
In that one year bible, a few politicians were reading isaiah9:10-11
Before 9/11
Not knowing what they were reading
Also.. Romans is great too
Saved by grace not works
Amen! Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". This verse is considered to be a summary of the gospel, and it emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God that is not earned through human effort or good deeds. The verse also suggests that people should accept God's forgiveness as a gift, just as they would accept a birthday gift.
God may be working on his son. His son had a desire to learn the word in its entirety… that obviously didn’t come from his home teaching. God is good and Mr. Furtik exposed himself… it’s about his ego and he is teaching his son the same narcigesis.
Pastor Cory, so appreciate your balance of the scripture! I’m so tired of these preachers/teachers rewriting the meaning of the Word. They no longer teach the whole Word in “ context”. They all are basically become motivational speakers who use scriptures to fit THEIR narrative/belief system. The problem is, they hook people because there are threads of truth mixed in with their false interpretations of scriptures. Also they hook people because no one checks for themselves if what they’re saying aligns with scriptures. Lazy Christians. Enough said. 🥰👍
Jesus is all through the Bible. Anyone that can't see that should never preach.
I’m grateful for the day it finally clicked in my mind that the Bible is not about me, it’s first and foremost about God, and his redemptive work in man. Since then, it has drastically changed the way I view, read, and interpret Scripture and I’m enjoying reading my Bible more than ever.
"In the beginning, GOD created the heaven & the earth." Jesus showed up in Genesis 1:1. That would be the "GOD" part!!!
He has good advice for the me centered gospel. By reading the Bible this way, you are making it about you instead of reading it for what it is, a book about God
How exactly should we read the Bible then? It seems like everyone had multiple ways to go about it.
Why would you ever discourage your son to read the Bible slowly? Reading it too fast is what causes Christians to miss out on so much. Enjoy the Word and enjoy disecting every letter, every word, every sentence. That's how you're able to extract so much knowledge and wisdom
I love that someone is speaking on Christ before his incarnation
What Furtick is doing is something I like to call “fortune cookie narcigesis.”
For many like him, it’s about ignoring context and seeking a solid historical and grammatical interpretation in favor of a self-absorbed application and making the Bible about us rather than about what God is doing with and for His people within the context of the passage.
They try so hard to be profound.
He's holding up his hand to the people that he pledge to This is so crazy but thanks for the information
When it comes to women teaching in the church, the book is consistent that a woman shouldn't teach over a man. Genesis mentions because of Eve sinning, man is suppose to have dominion over woman.
It is scary how many people are going to believe him because they trust him to teach them right 😮
It seems people dont remember “Before Abraham was born, I am”
Did you take down your video on baptism with Chris? I didn't have time to watch it the other day and wanted to watch it now. I looked through your videos and can't find it. I would love to see it. All my life I have heard so much back and forth about it. I have been in various churches during my life with some clinging to one view and some to the other.
Thanks for all you do!
The Bible is a spiritual book, so it must also be approached spiritually. The Bible must be read with prayer and a meditative attitude. Otherwise you will never see light in the Bible. We absolutely must consider the context and other general conditions of the text. But that is not the focus. We often forget that the spirit of Scripture needs to be touched
Keep bringing us truth of the word bruh 🙏🏾
The last time (only time) I read the bible all through I read it with the intention of trying to understand God's character so Leviticus was super interesting. The issue is modern Christianity sees Jesus with a different character than God. Christianity is not about you, it is about God. God does not play a part in what you are doing, you play a part to play in what God is doing.
I always thought it was smart to read the Bible from beginning to end. But a lot of people always say I would start on John start in Luke Start In Corinthians … I didn’t really get why we shouldn’t start from the beginning ❤
I had attended Elevation Church! All Three different locations where I lived! However, I were kind of with a homeless organization and felt pressed to serve GOD in that type of manner! Attending church freely and becoming big forced to go to church are two totally different scenarios that can push one from attending church! But, the pastor never went to The Bible!
The whole Bible is Jesus's word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
I love the timelines. Thanks!
I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!
I did I'm 66 no problem 😅😊❤ he said I'm the beginning and the end let us make man in our what
Progressive Christian Churches (if there is such a thing) only acknowledge and talk about ONE member of the trinity. They don’t like to acknowledge the Father’s wrath and HATE of sin.
JESUS is the Alpha and Omega 😊❤
Super sad.. becuz I love elevation worship music lol. Never do I listen to a sermon though EVER
The music is trash it’s a false gospel set to rhythm
@@926paajathat’s fine that you don’t like it. What you’re not understanding is how God works biblically, Again I don’t agree with his teachings or watch his sermons. But guess what? There are ppl that truly believe in the gospel, live for God daily that has come across these songs that’s still giving him praises. Yall can get so lost in theology you forget that even out of bad God works together things for HIS good. The Lord knows the heart of believers that just want to praise his name through music and if the ppl making the music or the pastor is false and is only doing it for gain God will deal with those people. But I could be wrong 🤷🏾♂️ knowing that the pastor doesn’t comprehend basic theology then maybe ppl that truly just want to listen to the praise music should leave it alone 🤷🏾♂️
@@hebrewrld you can listen to whatever it makes no difference to me … but don’t be deluded into thinking it is praise or worship. And based on your response it is clear that some of that ooy hooey gooey false doctrine is part of your narrative. You pulled out some of the ole faithful virtue signaling gaslighting christianeese that everyone does when they just want to bury their heads in the sand.
Bethel hellisomg elevation maverick city and the like are doctrinally void musicians.
@@hebrewrld The Bible provides examples of people considered wicked who, at times, sought to worship God. However, true and proper worship requires a sincere heart and repentance. True worship involves not just outward actions but a heart that seeks God in sincerity, humility, and repentance. Without a genuine relationship with God and a heart turned toward Him, worship cannot be considered proper, regardless of external actions. Therefore, disobedient people cannot offer true worship to God. It is better to worship from our hearts than to listen to empty noise.
The Son is in the first word of the first verse of the Bible. In fact, he is represented in the first letter of the first word in the Bible: the letter ב (bet) is representative of the Son.
How does the letter b represent the Son?
@@ShonkySquad I would encourage you to look up some videos on בראשית (beresheet). In the Hebrew alefbet, the alef is representative of the Father (amongst other things) and the bet is representative of the Son (amongst other things). The first 2 letters in בראשית (bet resh) means "Son".
Sad that his father is a pastor and is hurting his journey more than helping him. I pray for his son.
The Holy Ghost is the Teacher
I don’t understand how Corinthians being written before Acts changes anything concerning tongues
I would love to have the timelines you shared - great to share with my Bible study group. How can we get those?
I took a screenshot.
His hand signals are so obvious. He's one of them dangerous guys that I see on revealing truth
Steven furtick wouldn’t tell his kids to start watching a movie from the middle. No, only the Bible. SMH.
He also had magicians at his conference, but called them illusionists
Furtick joking about his ego just revealed the true nature of his heart. "...for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." Hes even feeding his pride by talking about how someone fed his pride. What a joke.
Looking for something deep to fit your own life or situation that is not within context and taking it to mean something the text does not is "Eisegesis". Taking a text and turning it into a parable where there is none is "allegorizing" the text Taking the text and placing you or your audience within the text is called "Narcigesis". This is how these false teachers exceed what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6). The Word of God is sufficient as it is.
I believe he is making a point on how laborious in particular the Book of Leviticus is, is it not true that its harder to read than most other books?
It can be.
Chronicles is worse IMO
all those names☺️
LEVITICUS is ceremonial
Priesthood, and where year of jubilee, is
Respectfully, I disagree. Not to say that I agree with Steven Furtick. I just think a new Christian or spiritually baby Christian benefits greatly from starting in G.E.P.C. (Galatians and the next few books). Those books are quick reads that cover the gospel, our walk as a Christian and fellowship with the body of Christ, and begin the development of a biblical worldview. Even Romans is a great start as well. It covers the gospel and sin and gives a new believer a healthy fear of God that then leads to a reverence for His majesty and grace.
After that, then I’d suggest reading it cover to cover. I say this as someone who loves loves LOVES the word of God. I started with a philosophy that I stole from Ray Comfort “no Bible no breakfast, no read no feed”.
Jesus shows up when God is telling what will happen with Adam and Eve. Each book is referenced in the New Testament. You don’t have a New Testament without the Old Testament. I’ve been reading the Bible since I got saved at 6 and still finding new nuggets of fascinating truth that stays with me and comes up to convict me what I need to do better. I don’t like it when pastors speak to a verse over talking about the entire chapter.
Stephen just mislead his son. Idk if it was on purpose or not but he’s gotta get it together.
Love the video.
I have a question? Is reading one chapter a day ok?
Nothing wrong with a chapter a day. But if you do, make sure you can answer the following questions afterwards:
- Who wrote that chapter? Some books/letters can have more than one author.
- When was it written?
- To whom was it being written?
- Is the chapter descriptive, prescriptive or both?
If you can't answer all of this, then you're just reading. You're not studying nor truly learning. Big difference. And I'm encouraging you, not the opposite. Grace and peace.
@@ozdoublelifewho decided that these were the guidelines. You?
Don't let your feelings dictate anything about your faith. Remove the "christian way" from your mind. Realize that Yahusha never called His people "christians". You're grafted into Israel upon emersion into His covenant. This faith is not "christianity". This faith is Hebrew. Everything about this faith is Hebrew.
Except..mid acts.. especially around chapter 15
Gentiles didnt have to follow jewish ceremonial laws
@@kathleenking47 Torah is not the same thing as ceremonial law or sacrificial law. The Torah is the Ten Commandments. You know, the covenant written on tablets of stone that are contained in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ten Commandments were written by the very finger of Yah Himself signifying their eternal authority. Christians are trained to be stupid about the faith. Christianity teaches lies, uselessness and things of no profit. Jeremiah16:19-21. Christians think they're something special. Christians are prideful, arrogant, ignorant, complacent, lazy, and completely delusional human beings.
1:30 The Son is in the OT though!!!
So many ways to interpret the Bible BUT IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS : the Bible is ABOUT JESUS ! Then you will not interpret the Bible correctly. You can read the Bible finding great biblical principles on how to live your life but if you don’t understand what Jesus did on the cross and how the the Holy Spirit guides us to do the will of the father. Then you’re just doing good works for selfish reasons 🤦🏽♀️. I love Jesus with all my heart and I’ve learned there are people who love Jesus and there are people who LIVE FOR HIM! I aspire to live for the one who gave his life for me. To commune with the father life he did every chance he got. To overcome wickedness and temptation with the help of the Spirit of God to lead me to righteousness & holiness . I’m not perfect the Bible says no one is perfect no not one. But I strive for holiness
Corey do you have a bible study class?
Anyone can answer please...How many Christians make up the church? Now once you have arrived at that number, how many would you say are biblically illiterate?
That’s why people don’t understand it is because they are cheery picking. And not learning the twelve mysteries of God. Revealing the good and perfect will of God.
Well said 👏
Can you tell me what Bible software you use in your videos. I would like to get the screen information of the Old Testament and New Testament timeline you are referencing in this video.

Thank you for your ministry in the body of Christ so we are not deceived in the last days.😊

@derrickcarson thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated.
We may receive five Crowns 👑👑👑👑👑 for being good stewards of Christ Jesus. In Believing, Preaching, Teaching, Discipling, Incorruptibility and Witnessing. Don’t let Satan steal your Crowns to lay at Jesus feet when you get to Heaven.
Good video Corey
