    God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. The human body is so complex in code and DNA that it is impossible to exist without a creator. The proof is in the Bible. There is nothing in the Bible that can be proven wrong regardless of how many times and attempts that have been made to discredit it. The Bible instructs us, "Test all things; hold fast what is good" (I Thessalonians 5:21). Doing this requires judgment, discerning what is good from evil. Be careful of science theology that twist words to their liking by taking things out and putting new things in that goes against Bible theology. Have you ever noticed that their theories seem to always be changing or tweaked to their likings whereas the Bible remains constant never changing. Their appearance and views can mislead and deceive you. One should put those science evolution theories on hold since they seem to go against what the creator has said and done. I believe that our roots started with Adam and Eve just like Gensis describes. Knowing what is in the Bible changes your view of everything especially the validation of a creator whereas natural science can’t. We Christians don’t need to change our view for we know the truth and the Bible is the word of God the creator and it is the truth.

    There was no metric for 24 hour days before day 4. That's half wsy through the. creative event. The sun and moon had not even been made then set into position, to do what? "To regulate times and seasons." Times. We should be careful to ascribe a literal 24 hour day before they could exist. Sure, God is light and doesn't need a sun to illuminate His activities. He is His own "shop light" so to speak. In fact, His light is not Angstrom/Kelvin light from the result of combustion. His light would be far superior to encourage vegetative growth, stimulate a rapid rate of any physiological progress, being purer, richer and perhaps even give off calories, who knows? I am not intimidated by science's alleged motives to create an ancient universe just to disprove the Bible. I am not that fearful. Anyway, there is no amount of time available to assist is the creation of life. Why? Life is not from matter. Life is in matter but not from it. An old earth really does not validate anything scientific that opposes God. We need not press doctrines or Ushuur just to try to defeat science. Genealogy only goes back to Adam on the 6th and final day of creation. The previous "days" (as was even the given name of light by God), were eligible to have indefinite length and still be a "day." Certainly before the 4th "day." Notice there was no "night" mentioned. After all this, we must remember we were rebuked in the context of being told "to God a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day." I see yet no scriptural justification for God to decieve us about the age of the universe nor earth. It might be out there. As Einstein said "God is mysterious but not mischievious." I was a YEC, now an OEC, for now. You know, that syndrome where we should shed our early Sunday School doctrines as better reason comes along. God says "come let us reason together", not come let us indoctrinate together." Lol

    We know that the evidence shows that modern humans evolved from other primates, one evidence is endogenous retroviruses insertion in our DNA that we share with other modern primates that we both inherited from a common ancestor. Fact. This notion that the Bible is inerrant or doesn’t change is ridicules on it’s face, we know for a fact that things have been added altered and omitted. What we have are copies of copies of copies written decades after the events that don’t line up with each other. This fundamentalist ideology is laughable to its core. God created things naturally that includes us and everything, not with god magic as this guy would suggest.

      @@groundedwithstevehartland here is a quote from Origen: For who that has understanding will suppose that the first, and second, and third day, and the evening and the morning, existed without a sun, and moon, and stars? And that the first day was, as it were, also without a sky? And who is so foolish as to suppose that God, after the manner of a husbandman, planted a paradise in Eden, towards the east, and placed in it a tree of life, visible and palpable, so that one tasting of the fruit by the bodily teeth obtained life? And again, that one was a partaker of good and evil by masticating what was taken from the tree? And if God is said to walk in the paradise in the evening, and Adam to hide himself under a tree, I do not suppose that anyone doubts that these things figuratively indicate certain mysteries, the history having taken place in appearance, and not literally. Other quotes from other church fathers like Augustine can easily be verified. By the way, I happen to think the creation story was not necessarily allegorical, but disagree with the interpretation in Genesis 1:1 that is in so many modern versions. It’s a temporal clause, which would be more like, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, when the earth was formless and void…thus indicating something was already there in the following events and Genesis 1 does not describe creation ex nihilio. I quit watching the rest of your video after your opening statements because that made you lose credibility. You might want to change that up.

It's a question of what does the text actually mean, not whether or not he believes the Bible. Just because someone disagrees about what a text actually means in its context does not give you the right to accuse them of not believing the Bible, because they are saying they believe it means something else, not that they don't believe it. It's truly unbelievable how sometimes modern evangelical Christians are some of the people that have the least imagination or criteria to analyze anything whatsoever.

    Interesting interview with Michael Clary. I like his thoughts on making our choices wisely and letting our agency be fueled by the Holy Spirit. Honoring God should be the most important motive and guidance in operating our agency. We should never think that we are nobody because, God doesn’t make Junk. I agree with the statement that we should never feel that we are superior to others just because we are suffering for Christ. God looks at all his people as equal. I agree that men should take the leading role in the church and preach with assertiveness. Our role as a Christian is to tell others of the Gospel of Christ as Jesus commanded us to do. In doing so, the Lord will prune us and chasten us. I like Michael Clary’s antidote for the poisonous of piteous thinking: “Trust God and take righteous actions inserting your agency in the power of the Spirit”.

    I have always respected other people regardless of color or race. I am aware that everyone who has ever be born was created in the image of God. A Problem I have is the illegal immigrants that are known criminals being release into our country and all we do is turn our back and let it happen. By that time, it could be too late for a family member or friend who has been brutally killed by them or by their gangs. This is why there are so many problems at the border. I know we are supposed to love our enemies and value them as a child of God. However, how do you approach a family who has a family member brutally murder by these criminals that have illegally enter our country or for that matter any person who is a US citizen that kills another. It is easier said than done unless we remember how Jesus acted toward his enemies. Here is where strong faith comes into play. Jesus had mercy and even had a certain amount of respect for His enemies. The verse I get emotional about and visualize in my mind is Isaiah 53:7 “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth”. I Agree that the government was created to protect and serve the needs of the family. They need to do a better job on limiting who comes into our country and who does not otherwise lawlessness will abound even more than what it is now.

    Excellent grounded with Pastor Steve interview with Pastor Jason. I agree with pastor Jason that Christians should think more often about the consequence of unanswered sin in one’s life that could very well lead to eternity in Hell. Not a pleasant thought for anyone to be separated from God for eternity. We therefore should remember that sin can send you to hell if you don’t repent and ask for forgiveness. This in my opinion of sinning and repenting, sinning and repenting etc. without an actual change in your belief system toward God is not being saved. Sure, we all sin occasionally some more than others but God is looking for a true repentance (a change of heart). Many want to make their own decision in life leaving out God to guide them through life unaware that the wrath of God is beckoning at their door in Hell. Some actually believe that hell is the place to be when you die because your friends will be there, and it will be like a beach party every day. Nothing further can be from the true because the Bible tells us it will be darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth and total solitude. Wow! That doesn’t sound like a big party to me. So, the reality of hell does exist. Because God said that he will weed the tares from the wheat and burn up the tares, people think God is mean. Nothing is further from the truth because God wants a heaven not full of tares which this earth holds. He wants a purified earth with purified humans reigning with him in his kingdom. Our real world is heaven and hell and not this smoke screen and fantasy that we live in. We are funneled with evil all day long in our lives. One of the biggest reasons is because of the media that promotes it. We are afflicted with evil, but God is using this to our benefit and glory - NKJV “For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake”. Christians know there will be a reckoning someday in the near future at which time the Lord will set the record straight. Taking doctrine seriously is critical in our walk with Christ. Read the Bible daily. Pray for people that you think are headed for hell. We need to start being bolder in our approach to bringing non-believers to Christ and His salvation. I agree with pastor Steve that we should never depart from our faith in Christ, and we should exhort one another. We should persevere in our walk with Christ and keep repenting and asking for forgiveness. I feel that you nailed it when you said we should not get comfortable with our sin. This is where a lot of people get tangle up in and thus stay anchored in their sin thinking it is ok - I will deal with it later. This is a fatal mistake a lot of people make. That is why you hear that a lot of people think they are going to heaven (the narrow road) but instead are on the wide road (destruction). I feel the world would be a better place if we are joyful about right things instead of all the hype and negativity going on in the world. It seems to me that a lot of people are sucked into this and actually enjoy it. I totally believe that people who know they are forgiven seem to love much but people who don’t forgive as much end up loving less (just like the Bible says). I think you can spot them a mile away. Remember that forgiving and confessing (heart change) can save you from eternal damnation. I agree that what matters is that our names are written in the book of life. It is not about and has never been about what we have in life materialistically or our works. It is a gift from God thru His grace and mercy towards us. God will use us for his Glory so share the Gospel with others. I would recommend asking God for your calling to his glory, whether it is in the church or outside the church. By encouraging holiness and knowing the consequences of hell can help us fight our sin. It truly is a marvel of the love of God for us because when it comes down to it, we all deserve to go to hell but thanks to God He endured hell for us. Praise the Lord!

    Very interesting ways at looking at Baptism. Never was taught about Paedo vs. Credo Baptism. A lot of people were baptized when they were infants including myself. The fact is that a baby is unaware of what is even going on, so how could it be possible that they would change their ways and be saved. Babies are not born holy or regenerated but can be regenerated and be called to holiness eventually. Praise the Lord that they are saved under the grace of God until they are old enough and aware of what sin is (becoming accountable). Later in life I got re-baptized which is like a renewing of your vows to God. To me Baptism is an individual personal event in one’s life just like we are responsible for our own sins and not others. Thanks for clarifying Baptism.

    What amazes me is how we can call the United Sates a united country when the country is obviously divided. You have Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives, far right, far left, etc.) All this tugs and pulls at the country as a whole which as you can see causes a lot of problems and issues. Remember what the Bible says that “Every kingdom (nation) divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand”. Wow we can see this happening right in front of our eyes today. I agree that if we had more Christians in our population we could turn around and even eliminate a lot of the issues going on in the US and even in the world. We need to learn and act on our past trials, so they won’t repeat or get worst. This is where God can answer prayers and make it happen. All of us need to know what God wants for us and what we need to do. Familism is a philosophy that puts priority on the family. c. I agree 100% with your comments on God’s law should be the rule instead of naturalism and overbearing government that runs this country. Unfortunately, we live in a falling world and things will never change and most likely will continue to get worst unless 1 - humans change, become saved Christians and have a large rival of Christians leading the movement 2 - God intervenes and takes control of its outcome.

    Great lecture, Pastor H! I have one question: how do you respond to the claims that the practice of infant baptism goes all the way back in church history, the suggestion being that believers baptism is a theological novum?

    • @groundedwithstevehartland
      @groundedwithstevehartland หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Alan, and thanks for writing. Here ya’ go: 1 - The apostles taught and practiced believers-only baptism, and christianity is apostolic, not post-apostolic, so we should practice believers-only baptism. Any other kind of baptism will be novel, and not apostolic. 2 - The practice of believers' baptism was normative until the early to mid 3rd century. At that time, infant baptism was a novelty. Prior to the 3rd century, there are no patristic advocates for paedo-baptism, and during the 3rd century, some theologians continued to argue for believers' baptism, while others began to argue for infant baptism. The disagreement continued into the 4th century, when infant baptism gained prominence. 3 - In constructing our theology, we don't go back to a time in church history (in this case, the 3rd or 4th century) that suits us and base our doctrines on what we find there (it might be erroneous); we go back to the Apostles. Christianity is apostolic, not post apostolic. Hope that helps! Pastor Steve

    Most people carry on with the herd mentality and refuse to just look at the true nature of God, and to allow the overtones of his true nature throughout the scripture to be the governing principle in interpreting certain scriptures that seem out of character for what is already established. Sadistic and vindictive have nothing to do with the nine fruit of the spirit that explain the true nature of God. Yet people would never ascribe those labels to God, yet isn’t that the epitome of vindictiveness? To brutally punish your creation that lived in sin for let’s say 90 years, but to brutally punish them for thousands, upon thousands of endless years…. What does God gain out of that? All he ever wanted was a family! the late Swedish Lutheran Bishop John Persone wrote: “For me it is inexplainable how a person who holds the orthodox view [of eternal torment] can at any time have a glad moment in this life. He is constantly mingling with people whose final destiny will be to be tormented eternally without end…To me it is even more inexplainable that such an that such an ‘orthodox’ person can expect even a happy moment in eternity, when he knows that contemporaneously with his blessed estate continues the endless torment and agony of innumerable millions of the accursed. Can he, if he loves his neighbors as himself, yes, even if he has just a little bit of human love and is not solely a selfish wretch, have even a single happy moment?”

      The old covenant law goes to great lengths to ensure justice.… making sure that the punishment fits the crime. First, second and third-degree murder, and involuntary manslaughter etc. All are judged differently. I’m not advocating that there is no judgment. There will absolutely be a terrifying judgment that none of us want to be caught up in. So man, born dead in trespasses and sins, having a nature that is driven to sin, let’s say for a lifespan of 90 years now he has to pay for all eternity? That flies directly in the face of the understanding that God was trying to give us in the exacting of the law. (The punishment fitting the crime) The nature of God is seen in the direct correlation of the nine fruit of the spirit. (and yes, I agree love and judgment are inseparable) So torching people eternally is allowing the creator of the heavens in the Earth to make a point? And then I hear people say well, God didn’t put them there. They put themselves there. How foolish of response. as if God didn’t know the result of people making their own decisions.

    There is no Literal Hell, The original words translated as “hell” in some older Bible translations (Hebrew, “Sheol”; Greek, “Hades”) basically refer to “the Grave,” that is, the common grave of mankind. The Bible shows that people in “the Grave” are in a state of nonexistence. ● The dead are unconscious and so cannot feel pain. “Neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge, shall be in hell.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10, Douay-Rheims Version) Hell is not filled with sounds of pain. Instead, the Bible says: “Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave [hell, Douay-Rheims].”-Psalm 31:17; King James Version (30:18, Douay-Rheims); Psalm 115:17. ● God has set death, not torment in a fiery hell, as the penalty for sin. God told the first man, Adam, that the penalty for breaking God’s law would be death. (Genesis 2:17) He said nothing about eternal torment in hell. Later, after Adam sinned, God told him what his punishment would be: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) He would pass out of existence. If God were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell, He surely would have mentioned it. God has not changed the punishment for defying his laws. Long after Adam sinned, God inspired a Bible writer to say: “The wages sin pays is death.” (Romans 6:23) No further penalty is justified, because “the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”-Romans 6:7. ● The idea of eternal torment is repugnant to God. (Jeremiah 32:35) Such an idea is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) He wants us to worship him out of love, not fear of eternal torment.-Matthew 22:36-38. ● Good people went to hell. The Bibles that use the word “hell” indicate that faithful men, such as Jacob and Job, expected to go to hell. (Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13) Even Jesus Christ is spoken of as being in hell between the time of his death and his resurrection. (Acts 2:31, 32) Obviously, then, when “hell” is used in these Bibles, it simply refers to the Grave.

      @alexshatner3907 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      God the father Jehovah of the old testament, is the same God Jehovah of the new testament. but as far as what pertains to Jesus (Matthew 4:9, 10) And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” Jesus did not say to Satan "it is me you should worship, because I am God", he clearly said "It is Jehovah your God you should worship", It was no different before Jesus came to earth, the more important question is in describing the laws that God gave to the nation of Israel, the New Catholic Encyclopedia notes: “From various Biblical accounts it is evident that the true worship of God was devoid of images.” Consider these Bible verses: • “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion.” (Exodus 20:4, 5) Since God requires “exclusive devotion,” he is not pleased if we praise or worship images, pictures, idols, icons, statues, or symbols. • “I will not let statues take the praise that should be mine.” (Isaiah 42:8, Easy-to-Read Version) God rejects worship given to him through images. When some Israelites tried to worship him using a statue of a calf, God said that they had committed “a terrible sin.”-⁠Exodus 32:7-9, Easy-to-Read Version. • “We ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man.” (Acts 17:29) In contrast to pagan worship, which often uses images “sculptured by the art and contrivance of man,” Christians should be “walking by faith, not by sight,” as the Bible says.-⁠2 Corinthians 5:7. • “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) In commands given both to the nation of Israel and to Christians, the Bible consistently exposes as a myth the teaching that God approves of the use of images and icons in worship. As far as Isaiah 9:6, “Mighty God” is only applied to the promised Prince of Peace. This expression, however, translates the Hebrew ʼEl Gib•bohrʹ, not ʼEl Shad•daiʹ, as in the above scriptures, El Shaddai is Hebrew for almighty only referred to as Jehovah, not Jesus. The Messianic prophecy at Isaiah 9:6 foretold that he would be called “Mighty God,” though not the Almighty God, and that he would be the “Eternal Father” of all those privileged to live as his subjects. The zeal of his own Father, “Jehovah of armies,” would accomplish this. (Isa 9:7) Certainly if God’s Adversary, Satan the Devil, is called a “god” (2Co 4:4) because of his dominance over men and demons (1Jo 5:19; Lu 11:14-18), then with far greater reason and propriety is God’s firstborn Son called “a god,” “the only-begotten god” as the most reliable manuscripts of John 1:18 call him. ACCORDING TO THE HEBREW AND GREEK , JESUS IS NOT "ALMIGHTY," JUST REFERRED TO AS MIGHTY, JEHOVAH GOD ON THE OTHER HAND IS THE ONLY ONE CALLED ALMIGHTY. TWO TOTAL SEPERATE PERSONS.

    Thinking about hell, to be honest, sometimes keeps me from engaging in sin. I think about how Jesus took upon Himself the judgement of hell for that very sin I'm tempted to. And then I think: if I engage in this sin this time, it'll potentially be easier the next time, and the next time....until I am engaged in a lifestyle of sin, potentially showing that I'm not truly born again, and in danger of hell. Taking hell seriously is important! And I say that knowing that I don't always act like it is.
