The Problem of Pain by CS Lewis: A Book Review
Well done Shawn. I loved the way you demonstrated JND's relevance to today despite the fact there is 150+ years between us. You motivated me to order a copy of a $40.00 book!
Thanks for the great review. I read the LSB the year it came out (on Kindle) and really enjoyed it. I don't know if it could ever unseat the NKJV and ESV as my favorite translations, but I do have a high opinion of it.
Excellent review!
"Christion Nationalist" is a term developed to refer to a specific movement intent on installing a theocrasy in the US. There is no such thing as non-political "Christion Nationalist".
I am not claiming that religious Christian Nationalism is non-political. The descriptor is about their theological foundation for their movement. Political Christian Nationalism has a secular foundation for their movement.
You can't say the end is near forever and not be a fool.
Amen
Pastor, I am a missionary in Cambodia and will be teaching on dispensationalism and want to know what resources would you recommend?
If Jesus came back today, today’s Christians would reject him and his message. Meanwhile, the selfishness of humanity continues to find war and capitalistic greed and profit the way to “live.” Global warming, mass migrations of people out of areas no longer able to sustain life, terrible droughts and fires in areas that never had them before and many intranational civil wars caused by increased competition for resources and power and many other ills brought about by humanity’s own selfish stupidity, operate to reduce global population. None of this will be enough to escape the effects of the melting of the ice caps and the oceans’ rise around the world. No one person, called Jesus or Geronimo or Sally Ann Jones will be enough to “save humanity” because as a species we are not smart enough to be less selfish in our capitalism in ways that can save the planet that we depend upon for life. God has nothing to do with this. In any event : God helps those who help themselves and so far humanity overall has been way, way too self involved to do that.
I came to Christ while reading Lindsey’s Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. No one is perfect, but when the gospel is shared in word or print (or web) God uses it!
Love the presentation, brother. But for the sake of sanity could you please pronounce your hard consonants? It's incredibly distracting to hear "impor-ant" and similar. There is a "T" in there...hones. ;)
I don't know, I watched it again. I can hear both t's in important. You seem like a needlessly critical man.
@@RevReads not meaning to offend. Since it's likely an unconscious thing I'm not surprised.
@@CarlDi3trichplease don't comment again on my videos if you are going to comment like that. I don't need the frustration.
@@RevReads Out of the three times ( as far as I can tell ) you say the word it happens only once at around 8:50ish in your presentation. You seem to be unusually critical of constructive criticism for a pastor. That said I'll, once again, thank you for the review. I have the book and agree with everything you had to say. Grace and peace.
You have an embarrassing spelling mistake in the thumbnail
Great review, Rev. You’re not alone with that view of end times and strangely I came to the identical conclusion after reading Stephen Sizer who pointed it out but put a negative spin on it.
Thanks again for your fine insight. I've read most of his books. The main problem is that in later years, he became involved with TBN. As a result, his clarity on the gospel and other issues suffered. Another interesting note: in his book on the Rapture and on the Holocaust, he states that Bob Theme was influential on his views and expresses gratitude. One of his best books is "The Liberation of Planet Earth." Keep up the good work.
That is a problem. TBN is awful.
How about a review of the BSB the Berean Standard Bible?
Do you have any favorite books or commentaries on the Revelation?
This commentary by Thomas is easily the best. th-cam.com/video/4Vq1QVsrXrQ/w-d-xo.html
@@RevReads THANK YOU!
Can you review "88 Reasons" by Edgar C. Whisenant? 😂
That end-times view is what I hold, too.
Awesome!
I am glad I am not the only one who felt all the critics and attacks were not legit on Lindsey and this book.
The pamplhet is evil personified.
It truly is.
Stephen Wolfe isn't postmil. I liked his book a lot. He basically holds to historic Reformed political theology. I don't have anything positive to say about Joel Webbon or Doug Wilson.
1:12 A great deal of WWUTT videos make weak arguments
Agreed
I've been listening to a bunch of Early church writings to see what good food I can find there. This book almost immediately gave off red flags to me, and I could just sense that it was fanciful and should not be considered inspired or always true. A great example of the opposite and perhaps my favorite early church writing - the First Epistle of Clement. I'm not going to say we should have it in the Canon, but it at least did not contradict the scriptures, was a serious, dense book, and was an encouraging read to me.
I don't care what they are, as long as they know the talmud is hate speech.
Is your idea of “action” to follow in cult-like obedience to a person and political movement that is the antithesis of the gospels. Your argument about punishment for “others” seems to contradict the message to love others and make disciples. Bring people to Christ through love and support, not through laws and punishment. And you wonder why the church is withering.
So besides the scary name, what is the “evil” behind Marxism? Similar arguments can be made against the sins of capitalism.
Marxism is spread through envy and you can only support it through theft. Marxism brings ruin, destruction, and death wherever it spreads. It is built on falsehood. Capitalism is simply the free exchange of goods and services. It doesn't have the foundation of immorality in Marxism.
I think the crossless, Jesusless gospel is far more dangerous than lordship salvation. At least in lordship salvation they're likely to give the correct gospel. The only problem with lordship is that they tac on a bunch of extra conditions after giving the gospel.
Fascinating topic. I never knew this before.
I go to a Reformed, CT teaching church that also holds to the amillennial end times view. When the pastors taught from Ezekiel some years back chapters 38-39 had been completely skipped over (and even for Chapter 37 verse 15 onwards about God will reunite the northern and southern kingdoms were completely ignored too)
Thanks!
Do you mean 1,2 and 3 Enoch or only 1 Enoch? And could you please recommend us a translation, perhaps even with a commentary of the translator?
This is my favourite book! So much good stuff in it!
I don’t think it’s true that Wilson’s claims will result in the collapse of major denominations. Most Christians blindly follow teachers and ideas without doing their own study, and won’t even take the time to consider if they’ve been misled. Most Christians gather in denominations where they feel comfortable, and a lot of our ‘divisions’ are along the lines of personality type, background, culture, etc.
Darby was correct. Romans 16:25 about God's chosen vessel to the gentiles --- God's timetables and dispensations
I encourage anyone reading this to please do your home work on the Bible! Look up the history behind the KJV Bible. For 400 years the LORD's perfect WORD was preached from the pulpit, in the streets and in the nations worldwide, which gave rise to some of the great men of God, David Brainerd, John Wesley, William Booth, Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkerson, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, Reinhard Bonnke, Keith Daniel, Evan Roberts, these are just a few names, there are many, many more…… For 400 years this WORD bore the most fruit for the LORD's kingdom. People died to get this wonderful WORD into you hands today. Do not ignore the History! Then the Church fell asleep and believed the lies and deception of the devil, the arguments came, the divisions happened (Look at the history of the reformation) and the evil wicked men who worship the devil himself, conspired and diluted the WORD of God. Attacking the very deity of Christ Himself. Ask yourself this question…. Are you pleased with the fact that by reading these corrupt manuscripts you are doing the devil's work for him? Its not great surprise that this has happened really! Go back to the Garden of Eden……… Go read Genesis Chapter 2 and then chapter 3. Genesis 2: 16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 3: 1-5 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. First the women added to GOD's Words, then satan himself changed GOD's Words! They cannot destroy God's WORD! (They being the occult and those who worship satan himself) but they can try and replace it and change it. Nothing new under the sun! Look into these modern versions and where all these corrupt manuscripts actually come from. There are some great resources online and I would recommend starting with these titles firstly; History of The King James Bible: God's Perfect Word What's the Difference Between Bible Versions? The Battle Over Christ’s Divinity | Changing the Word The King James Bible vs. Modern Bible Versions The Preserved Bible: Full Documentary on The King James Bible Why We Use the KJV Bible by Maverick University Why use the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible? Your Bible Says Satan is God! What's Going On? Here are just a few facts from these great resources: The New King James Version (NKJV) ignores the textus receptus 1200 times! The New International Version (NIV (NLT) (ESV) etc… has removed / changed over 66,000 words from the original tongues. (Tongues = languages) The man who owns the publishing house and copy rights of the NIV, his name is Rupert Murdoch and he also owns the publishing house and copy rights to the book of satan. Westcott and Hort who started this destruction in 1881, were atheist's and believed in evolution. These corrupted manuscripts NLT, NIV, NKJV, JW Bible etc…. all come from the Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Vaticanus texts, which they claim are older texts were actually found in a monastery burn pile ready for the fire by a man named Constantin von Tischendorf. All these corrupted versions, water down the message, destroy the anointed power that the KJV carries and remove or diminish Christ's deity. Look up William Tyndale's work (This man died at the stake to get this wonderful WORD of God in our hands. Look up Desiderius Erasmus work from the original Greek manuscripts. (Gospel of mark as one example; of the 620 copies he studied, he found 2 copies which ended on verse 8. These copies came from Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Vaticanus. The remaining 618 all contained the entire chapter of Mark 16 and come from the Textus Receptus) Given that I have just presented some these facts are you not concerned that maybe you have been deceived? At the very least you should go check this for yourselves! Now it's one thing to convince people to read a different version and in doing so, you water down the message, you diminish the power of the WORD and eventually get the Church to stop praying, when that happens, then you can infiltrate and put people under all sorts of spells and doctrines of demons and that's exactly what has happened. Just go look at the History of the WORD of God, then you will see! Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Matthew 24: 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Isaiah 34:16-17 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein. Do you believe God has done all these great miracles we hear, read and see evidence of? If the answer is yes, then why do you believe the lies that He can't preserve His written WORD and WORDS then?
Before you buy, get online and find the NKJV online and compare Titus 3:10-11 with Luke 12:51 and then decide if you want a "Bible" that says Jesus is a sinner.
Excellent review! The only teacher I trust right now for prophecy fulfilment is David Nikao Wilcoxson. He teaches from a historicist perspective.
It's just going to spit back whatever's been programmed into it. But it will rob us of the growth and expansion of our own brains by doing the work for us. I'm planning to avoid it!
This is awesome. Happy to have found you. TY 🙏🏻
Your critique fails right from the start. You characterize it as either-or: Either the gospel is about trusting Jesus for giving us life, or about us owing our allegiance to Jesus. Bate's point is that it is both-and. Bates does not exclude Jesus' giving life to those who trust him. Bates adds clarity that the kind of trust involved would include faithfulness. You're not even addressing his point. So your critique falls flat.
Hello, Good day sir I am planning to create a detailed explanations of your reviews and share it to my family, but I am looking for that one video wherein you spoke about the book for almost an hour. I hope you'll be able to lead me to that video. thank youu!
discovering sodom, by dr. collins
I talked about it at church and posted it on my church TH-cam channel and not Rev Reads. Here's the link. th-cam.com/video/D8ysn5FVUqg/w-d-xo.html
True but doesn't repentance actually start in the mind and heart? Then results in a changed life, that repentance lived out as a holy life and good works?
I believe repentance before, during, and after salvation are three separate issues. Which are you asking about?
@TheLaymansSeminary Before... before you are saved you think one way about God, after hearing the gospel a decision is made one way or another. IF you believe... In your heart and mind you change who you think God is or was to you. He is Lord, you are not. He is not guilty. You are. Jesus rose from the dead, not whatever you used to think. That's why I said it starts in the heart and mind and you are saved.
Fantastic, Thanks Rev Reads
Was wondering what happened to part 3!
I had to get through Becoming JND.
Thanks Shawn and Chris!
I agree with your analysis that determining who the speakers are, etc., is challenging in the Song of Solomon. However, I might side with those who argue that it is the greatest piece of poetry ever penned in the human language. Therefore, it is the advanced class, and should it be reduced, or should we teach up to it? Can (should) the “Song of Songs” be captured in a comic book format?
I would have thought that you would’ve mentioned that this was M. Weremchuk’s second book on Darby, or did I miss it?
I should have mentioned that.
@@RevReadsYes
th-cam.com/video/OZBmBY5CWJ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UCIqh-lElOySHPr_ It appears Andy Woods disagrees with you quite strenuously.
I must have missed it: doesn't the KJV also have "fasting" in Mark 9:29? Why do you prefer the NKJV over the KJV? And more importantly, why isn't the KJV the most important translation? - King James Bible: And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. New King James Version: So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
This doesn’t seem to fit the word “elect” itself. The word is passive, but under this idea we elect ourselves. I think Israel is the elect, all times and places. (I realize that there isn’t room here for that kind of debate, so just take this as fodder for thought).
What??? They aren't even spelled alike. Are you really that bored?
It's a joke. Humor.
@@RevReads Yeak, the joke falls a little flat.
