I like Faith, I think she means well, but there is a number of things I have seen where she defines truth based on her bias not Scripture. We all do this, so it's not an attack against her. Notice that she believes there are a lot of unexplainable things in Scripture. And sure there are some but not as much as many some Christians believe. The problem is a lack of study and seeking the truth when an idea counters our finite worldview. We all claim to have biblical truth and correct doctrine and yet we encapsulate ourselves in our denominational bubbles. Christians often grow up in a denomination, attend a denominational Bible college and Seminary and then go preach at a Church within that denomination. Not because we want to be stuck in a bubble but because we feel that our denomination has it correct. I don't know how you go through Seminary and not know who the "Watchers" are. That boggles my mind. To me this is what shows me, the lack of biblical teaching in our schools and churches. In Luke 17 Jesus says that just before He returns it'll be like the days of Noah and Lot. This is a specific reference. we see this in 2 Peter 3 and Matthew 24 as well. When we read the stories in Genesis especially 18-19 we see that people were not taken by surprise by the appearing of the LORD or angels. Both Abraham and Lot bowed and were hospitable in the same way even though they were in different places. We see that this wasn't the first time the LORD and angels appeared to mankind. Yes they appeared in the form of men but both Abraham and Lot knew immediately upon seeing them that they weren't men and were of the LORD. This "normal" event is unique to these times in Genesis. As we see later Joshua and later Mary (mother of Jesus) were startled by the LORD and angels having no recognition that they were of the LORD. We see Paul in 2 Cor 12:1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows-such a one was caught up to the third heaven." In Daniel 9 we se Gabriel being interfered with from reaching Daniel. 1st Heaven the place where the birds are 2nd Heaven the place where the planets and stars are. 3rd Heaven - Heaven where the LORD is. We know the expanse of space In Job 1 we see Satan say "6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” How do we think Satan and Angels finite created beings travelled to and from earth to Heaven? Why are portals so absurd? Is that anymore absurd then thinking Satan and the angels sped through the expanse of space back and forth t go from the 3rd Heaven to Earth, passing through the 2nd Heaven of space? In Jude it says 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. ...14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Where is the abode of angels? Heaven. Job 1, 38. So they left their abode to go where? Earth. to do what? Seek after strange flesh. Us. Mortals. They are immortal beings, we're not. Now I am not here to say the book of Enoch is canon, it's not. But it is an educational tool since Jude directly quotes it and since we see references in it to Genesis 6, 2 Peter 2, and other passages. Now we know Enoch 1 was found in the Dead Sea caves which pre-date the Gospels and Jude. So Jude is quoting Enoch Enoch chapter 1:9 "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Excerpt From Researchers Library Of Ancient Texts Vol 1 This material may be protected by copyright. The "watchers" are the immortal angels that came to earth to procreate with human women. To create gods (small g), immortal, divine/human hybrids. "Men of renown". Genesis 6, Deuteronomy 32:17. Now do I think the transfiguration was a time travelling portal? No. Do I think it was a portal from earth to Heaven? Yes. I would disagree with faith's conclusion that it diminishes GOD. GOD is logical, rational, all knowing, precise, eternal, trying to understand His way, His plans is part of being a Christians and getting to know the LORD. There's a difference between "I don't know" because I have searched for answers and can't find any, and not searching to understand. I think it diminishes GOD when we don't try to study these things out. I think we end up putting GOD into a really small box. The box of our own finite worldview.
To that Abraham Lincoln discussion. It reminds me of the passage in Joshua where he asks this angel, “ are you for us or for our adversaries?” And he says “neither” he is the commander of the LORDs army. The church is full of Christian’s who want to be the main character, but God is the main character.
If you don't know what the watchers are, then you should definitely read Dr. Michael Heiser's (former Logos theologian, recently deceased) book the Unseen Realm. The watchers are referenced in Daniel 4 (see v 13, 17, and 23, the KJV wording is clearest).
However, keep in mind that Heiser gets in to speculation, imagination, extrabiblical nonsense. Sadly, a lot of people weak in faith, or newcomers, may be led astray by Heisers work. For example, I have seen many people who think the books of Enoch are scripture, God breathed. Then they get caught up in all the nonsense, but have no understanding of the actual Bible. Heiser is a better entry for people coming from UFO and conspiracy theories, weird religions and paganism... turning to Jesus.
Yes, Mike Heiser is an excellent resource for finding out who the watchers are and their role in biblical history! Unfortunately, many people are afraid to dig too deeply into the supernatural realm of the Bible.
Thank you for writing this comment. I was just about to respond with the same information. Watchers according to Daniel are holy ones. They are a part of God's divine council. Totally agree and recommend the book The Unseen Realm. Dr. Heiser was such a blessing and continues to be even after his passing. His fearlessness to tackle passages most theologians were afraid to made him unlike many others. His books allow believers to read the Bible through the lens of someone in the ancient premodern world.As he says' You'll never be able to look at your bible the same way again.' Our context is not their context'. He was right.
- yes! Thank you for making this comment. Dr H’s work helped Sept me free from false doctrine, and his book What Does God Want helped me understand what salvation is. I’m forever grateful!
I think it’s important to note that lamenting (quite literally complaining, groaning, being impatient etc) is a Biblical practice. We have to be able to bring the ugliest darkest stuff to the Lord knowing He’s big enough to hold it and listen to us and help guide us through it into praise and trust and deeper faith. Lamenting takes faith!
I'd say I think lamenting is very different than complaining. Again, that Numbers 14 passage is a great place to look and see the difference of heart. Lamenting is running to Jesus and taking your worries there, complaining is the opposite!
Agreed that lamenting is ALWAYS a focused discourse with God and not other humans. But I do think it’s in the very “formula” of a lament to cry out a complaint. David wasn’t just worrying he was bitter and enraged and impatient
I definitely agree because when the Israelites are led out of Egypt we see the complaining versus David in Psalms where it shows HOW to lament. And I think the difference is that in our lamentation or stress or anxiety we acknowledge God is GOD and we’re going to him for that reason which is what we see David doing.
So many people look to science to explain the world, I think it is important when science supports the Word. This will often point people back to Christ and the Word, when just talking to them about Christ won't. It is amazing to me how God uses everything in the world to point to Him, if people will just look honestly.
The best advice I have ever been given was to take everything with a grain of salt. To go and find the scripture, read the whole verse, the one before and after, the whole story, chapter, and book if I have to. And then to pay on it and let the Lord reveal to me what the truth is.
I want to say, in regards to the video about speaking to the water, that has a Convert who is still learning her faith, learning what it all means, how prayer works: the proof that blessing the water and speaking kind words to the water, made it better, helps me to know that prayer really does work. Because while it’s good and all that for people with strong faith to not “worry” and to simply have faith, there’s some of us who need that extra to help us grow our faith.
Hey sister Faith hope you are well I think the thought of Angle being made in 10 D can be a bit weird but I do think it adds to the idea that God has created more than we can imagine and it is out of our own understanding, and shows God creativity as well
I was convicted this time around after the election results that my attitude and arrogance were in full throttle when I join the band wagon of “the winners” and make jokes and roll my eyes and act like a bad winner. I needed to be reprimanded that we are all loved by God and are ALL God’s children. The only side that is always winning is God’s side. To remember that the people who are genuine in their fears because they are deceived and that I need to pray in a whole different way and become more Christ like in my actions. Totally got humbled.
I think you need to look into Dr Michael Heiser, Dr Chuck Missler and even the podcast Butterflies are Ninjas. There is a depth that just makes us curious.
Loved this! I really enjoyed all of the biblical points you made to support and/or sort through these videos, and I completely agree with you on all of this.
Gosh I LOVEEEEE this video!!! So much good meat!! Thank you for showing actual examples. So many people are so vague when talking about heresy or popular people and I never know who they are talking about so it’s useless. You have provided such good examples in an edifying way!
On the last clip, I’ve kind of done what he done, with mixing up scripture. I mean, I wasn’t preaching, I was just speaking to my husband, but I felt horrible about it when I realized I had. Thank you for this video, i have so much learning and growing to do and your videos minister to and help me so much.

Glory to God for sending your channel to my feed at just the right time. Thank you so much for your high-energy, Godly videos. Your videos literally helped me get deep into God's word. I was desperately trying to read and comprehend the Bible. When I took your advice and started highlighting and scrap booking - adding fun colorful pages - my comprehension increased 100%! I'm on my second Bible - I no longer add pages for writing as I am filling journals. Thank you again ❤ for inspiring my love for reading my Holy Saviors word.

Yeah saw Cliffe Knechtle video before the election, I thought he made many great points and was very concise, I prayed every Christian of voting age in the U.S would hear what he said, even now I pray they will hear this message. ❤
This is a good video. Thanks but standing for truth!! We do need to be aware of false teachers. You're being respective but also helping some who believe any teacher!!
Ok. Faith, I LOVE your channel. This is the first time I've seen this line of thought regarding the space/time thing on mountain where the transfiguration. Gotta say I am INTRIGUED on the thought. Conversation like that always makes me look at God with more awe... I think saying something about a portal in that place is a bit of a reach but the idea of God showing up outside of space and time in one spot and all of them being there is a FASCINATING thought... And thinking that God can do that...(Because wit Jim ALL things are possible)... And my opinion of that just being super cool makes me rejoice in the complexities of God and who He is and what He can do! I personally wouldn't be thinking thru all that in order to try to explain anything and I wouldn't be using science to have to "explain" scripture.. I can't say if those guys were trying to explain away either,.. but for me personally I dont believe I'm dishonoring God OR minimizing miracles. Because if God was really there the one time and not multiple times I think that adds a complexity and more miracle on the miracles of Him showing up there. And I'm not saying it happened that way.. not adding to OR taking away from His miracles, but marveling at the possibilities and understanding that as complex as we think it could be, He is still bigger and more complicated that anything we can think. He is amazing! I love Him! Some day, no more tears and no more pain, praising forever. ❤
Christian "complaint" prayers are called lamentations. We bring before our Father those things that are bothering us, hurting us, driving us crazy. But a lamentation concludes with our eyes on the Savior, not our problems. We acknowledge that God is sovereign and that as His children, we trust the works He is doing in our lives. This leads to worship!
Jesus guide me. I’m overwhelmed as a single mom both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Jesus I need your help providing for my children so that they may have all they need. Lord I’m constantly struggling each month to pay rent and I struggle to buy groceries, for my sons I’m ashamed. Hear my prayers help me overcome these obstacles. you are my strength.

Hi Faith, as a fellow viewer of yours and Ninjas Are Butterflies, I’d like to provide some context: If you watch any of their episodes, they are Christians, they are fellow believers and talk about the Bible and God often. Most of their episodes are based on conspiracy theories and world news and things tie in, but they’re really big on spreading love and laughter.
I also watch Cliffe and his channel. I normally don’t comment, but I hope, and will add this to my prayers, that we do not judge or criticize others without doing justice in understanding each other. We need to stay united, continue having conversations, and spreading His love.
@ashliekepner4481 Yes! Exactly! They're just relaying stories from others and social medias for entertainment. I wouldn't say that they (NAB) throw out Christian content, they just happen to be Christians, which is great!
@@MaureenSkyye Cliffe is disqualified from office of pastor and he seems quite mentally ill. If you are watching his videos you are wasting your time. You could be watching actual pastors. Not some street preacher.
@@br.m I do watch sermons from local churches, but I am also a baby christian. Are there any pastors that you would recommend on TH-cam? I am more than open to looking them up(: And I think we all battle with some form of mental illness. We just gotta pray for others.
👏👏👏👏👏 Praying for you, Faith! What a vital ministry you have here online. I enjoyed and appreciate this video so much. Also, that guy saying Paul didnt complain! 👀 He needs to see II Cor 1. Paul felt close to death because of the trial he was in. Trials give us comfort because they reveal our need for God. That comfort is transferrable to others. His message bothers me the most for some reason. Sorry...Ill stop preaching now. Lol
I would love to buy from YOUR store but you only have hats available? I would love your old design tshirt with the circles/bible nerd or maybe other tshirt designs. Please bring them back!
I watch cliffs often on TH-cam. No tiktok here. And he has helped me so much understand why Jesus Christ is the one true God. He is a great speaker and motivator to listen to God.

Honest question about our words changing things physically…do you think the guy in the video may have been pointing towards encouraging people that they possess a power to actually, like literally, change their physical surroundings? To me it seemed like he was touching on theories rooted in the law of attraction and using our secret abilities to manifest changes to create our own reality. The reason I point this out is because 2 years ago I was deceived into having this type of philosophy and using my “higher self” to basically be my own god. Then I met Jesus and my life was completely transformed. Praise Him for delivering me from that darkness. From the book of James and because he is writing to new Christians who are fighting and gossiping about each other, I’ve come to understand the power of the tongue to mean that the words we use towards others can negatively or positively affect them and that those words can steer the rudder to have an impact on the direction our life takes. Not that our words hold powers to change physical matter around us. Just curious of your thoughts on this 🙂
I’m not Faith, but I had the same thoughts as you. It didn’t sound scientific to me. I am a microbiologist. It sounded more like you describe and I came out of that as well.
I think this is a valid question. I follow Melissa Dougherty and she's been big on creating awareness of New Thought as something different than New Age and I can definitely see that this "scientific discovery" could be used as "proof" for New Thought. I'm interested to know if Faith responds to this point.
@@minimouse8153 exactly. I don't trust Joyce Meyer. She's too much on the prosperity message side of things in the "name it and claim it" group. Not to say our thoughts and mindset and words don't have power but the real power comes from the Holy Spirit,.. from God. Not us.
My thoughts on the transfiguration moment is that the idea of all 3 in a major point of their lives to have stood on the same mountain is an interesting idea. But for me, it stops there. You mentioned the word belittle and I agree. I feel like it belittles the others faith. Because if they only proceeded in their walks with God because they “had proof” since they spoke to Jesus takes away from them moving forward in faith.
YES! Also, if we have to explain away Moses or Elijah's presence at the transfiguration by use of a portal, it brings up tons of questions around resurrected bodies and the reliability of scripture.
Their convo about a potential portal on mt Hermon isn’t dangerous like you’re saying. There’s a lot of reason to believe that, and doesn’t take away from Christ’s divinity in the slightest.
Hopefully someone can comment and help me out here. Speaking of false prophets and prophecies there is so much leading Christians astray in the world. My question is can someone please share any insight or advice about A Course in Miracles? Is it ok, not ok? The information I have found is so misleading and I just keep feeling it’s wrong and also keep hearing that God is not the author of confusion, satan is. Thank you to anyone who wants to advise. 🙏🏼
You may want to know as you have a public channel that reaches Europe: the term "jipping" is a derrogatory term, associating Roma people (aka "gypsies") with theft. It's lost that connotation for the most part in the US since there isn't a very large Roma population, but in Europe the word and the racism is still very alive and well, and the word may be jarring to someone from that part of the world.
lol... I tried... didn't work as well as I'd hope but seriously, they are so amazing. I have been obsessed with Kerusso since I was like 12 or 13 yrs old! I even said for a while I wanted to name my first son "Kerusso" because I was so inspired by them! My husband eventually shot that idea down! lol
He seems mentally ill. He has some bad teachings. His attitude is also bizarre. He is too aggressive and combative. He is not qualified for the office he occupies. I guess that's why he is out in the street like salt that has no saltiness!

what is your take on all the new AI that does representation of scripture regarding the angels and things described in revelation? just curious. I am always leery of allowing myself to listen or watch certain "so called documentaries" regarding the Bible because I don't feel confident in my understanding to refute it if they are incorrect. does this make sense?

Great video! While our citizenship is in heaven, we will not be in heaven forever, but on the new earth after that--so it does matter how we treat the present creation! (N. T. Wright has written a *lot* on this in connection with New Testament scholarship.) Another point to reflect on is whether voting is a right or a duty. As soon as it becomes mandatory, it ceases to be a right. (And third parties do exist...I always wonder what would happen if everybody truly looked and voted for the candidate that *best* matched their values.)

I think it’s sort of like, with Moses and Elijah and Jesus, I think what they meant is sorta like in some movies, you can be in a place that someone else was but in a different time if that makes sense, there’s a horror movie called “the haunting of the queen mary” and it tells a story of 2 families on the same queen mary, but in different timeframes
The whole Apologetics attempts to explain the unexplainable which is in and of itself, ignorant....for the lack of a better (professional) word. Job 11:7-8 (NLT) Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty? Such knowledge is higher than the heavens and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld what do you know? Faith, this was a great topic of discussion because alot of believers may get caught off guard with all this foolishness if they aren't careful.
The watchers are a reference to the sons of God from genesis 6. They are called the watchers in the book of Enoch. You need to read some Michael Heiser.
Jesus said that we are to pray to the Father... Why is anyone praying to Jesus? In Jesus name... This shows our belief in him, but we are not supposed to pray to his human name.... Am I the weird one?
The nephilim? Those are notoriously a debated subject in the Bible! Why are they reading them into the transfiguration I wonder? How odd. I could go track down the whole conversation but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be edifying 🤣 or good use of my time!
A couple lies I have personally learned lately is the names of our Creator and Savior, and also the "rapture". It isn't for the righteous but for evil. There was such a peace when I learned jesus is not our Saviors name, it is Yahusha. Yah is our Father, our Creator. Yahusha said He came in His Fathers name. Him you would not accept, but he who comes in his own name we would accept. Yah doesn't change or change His name. J is not of Yah or Yahusha. Paleo Hebrew is what Moses spoke and that's what Yah spoke to him in. Also, the "rapture" isn't for the righteous, it's for the evil. Matt 13:36-43, Matt 13:47-50, Matt 24:36-44 are all about removing evil. Not rapturing of the saints before tribulation. 1 thess 4:13-18 is Paul telling us to comfort one another in knowing we will be together again... the caught up part will happen at the end with everyone there ❤
I agree ,we really need to totally trust God and that there are things we cannot explain or truly understand. That’s what makes God, God! As far as the election goes, I pray and read the word I can’t let the people around me affect my vote, God has no problem leading me and helping me make decisions yes even in choosing our president, why would that be the one thing we don’t think we need to pray about as important as it is? We forget division, hatred, and arguments does not come from flesh and flesh and blood, it’s the enemy of our soul who seeks to totally divide the church of Jesus Christ, a house divided will not stand . I pray that the Lord will open our eyes and hearts and help us to keep Jesus on the throne and remember that He is Lord.

Strongs dictionary Watcher #5894 Hebrew A watcher, i.e. an angel (as guardian) watchers 5341 see 5894 to watch, to guard, to keep A watcher came down from Dan 4:13 By the degree of the watchers Dan 4:17 A king saw a watcher coming down from heaven Dan 4:23 No where in the KJV can I find the word portal ( it is not in the KJV) to describe a watcher appearing !!
I don't know what off the wall Bible these guys are reading . But it's inaccurate . And there are dome Bible's that don't come anywhere near what the Word of God says.
I agree with you so much. I get so irritated at bible study because people try to explain miracles etc via (pseudo or unconfitmed) science. Like no, that's not the point of the bible story... God is God. We do a disservice sometimes if we put him in the box of science. He created science and nothing is impossible for him to change. Also the need to understand and apply everything: the story about the dog woman and Jesus was not about we should treat people like that. Jesus was testing her and making a statement about what the good news means for Israel and gentiles. He didn't refuse her, he was testing her faith. We should put ourselves in her shoes: she was not offended, she knew how the Jews regarded gentiles and had such faith in Jesus that she responded the way she did.

Not trying to make light but your reaction and the girl reacting to the woman "pastor" telling the story of the Syrophoenician woman are funny you both were synchronized in your reactions. I also really appreciate these types of videos. Even though I know what these people are saying is at the very least disrespectful to God they are misleading to people who for whatever reason believe the stuff that is being said. Sometimes stop and think "wait what, I didn't get that from the bible".
I don't get your argument here…. Balaam the false prophet literally used the words “I see Him, but not near.…” in reference to the coming messiah. Jesus said Abraham saw my day and rejoiced… We can't completely dicount what these podcasters are saying… Unless we are saying prophecy has to originate from spoken words…as oppossed any special revelation God chooses. The entire book of revelation is bases on what John say 2000 years ago about our time today .
Yeah I don’t think anything they said discounts or “belittles” what the Bible is saying and what actually happened; I have had similar beliefs not from a place of knowing everything or explaining away doubts but just recognizing patterns in scripture and understanding the spiritual realm from a Biblical perspective
Oh boy. 🙃 using apocryphal texts to exegete passages like the transfiguration is never going to go well. These guys need to reevaluate their whole hermeneutic!
"The Watchers" are part of Gods devine council mentioned in Daniel 4:17. The literal Hebrew reads By the decree of the watchers is the decision, and by the word of the Holy ones the sentence, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom he wills he gives it and the lowest of men he sets over it. Watchers = comes from an Aramaic root corresponding to the word uwr- which is a watcher i.e. an angel/ guardian. Yes Enoch speaks of the watchers but so does the bible. Different translations simply take out that word and replace it with angel or holy ones which is fine. The concept is biblical and Enoch is either directly quoted multiple times by biblical authors or referenced indirectly by other biblical writers meaning that they assumes their people had read it and knew why it was referenced regardless of it not being considered cannon of scripture. So it wasn't from some other book. It was from the Holy Scripture 😊 not shrooms.
@@HowtoFaithALifeJude quotes Enoch - he obviously considered it authoritative, so it's always been odd to me that we believe Jude was inspired, but the book he obviously thought was inspired was not.
Acts 16:25-26 is what he was talking about. It said Paul prayed and said praises and his chains came off. Yes, there was also an earthquake… and no, we don’t know if he said “holy, holy” exactly but he was in a bad situation (one of the worst you can be in and he praised) and so should we. I am not sure what would be wrong with what the guy said. Maybe it’s just that your mind was focused on Peter account and you didn’t have a chance to rewatch what he actually said compared to acts16… it seems like you should have cut this part out of the video since you misspoke
22:33 i think you are of the “once saved, always saved” camp. Consider the end of James where it says to pull your brother back. We can choose to walk away from God. There are many scriptures related to that…!!
Read the Bible then deep dive in your commentaries, dictionaries, and the language its written. We may never know the whole story, but trusting God and that his Word is true is what we have for now.
I 100% agree that we should strive to be on God's side in EVERY aspect of our lives...it's not a good practice to make those claims about which party is "God's Party", but it is equally as important to expose and express which party CAN not and IS not on God's side. Case and point, the Democratic Platform states that their party is pro-abortion (formally known as Pro-Choice). You can NOT be on God's side and also be for the murder of life in the womb. Period. I am open to any proof that the Republican Platform is anti-God's word...I just haven't found the proof like I have with the Democrat Party. I do not believe that the Republican Party is God's Party...but I KNOW the Democrat Party is not on God's side. How about we don't endorse a person or a party as God's but instead let's talk about who is NOT on God's side. Abortion is a no-brainer for believers. God bless, Bereans!

You were absolutely coming in on the middle of a conversation with that first clip. And the portals they were referring to were in reference to the way angels travel between here and heaven. The ways things of the realm of God end up here on earth. Also this wasn’t an idea these guys came up with but one presented to them that they were talking about. Also God uses nature all the time to bring about His will. You were wrong in your use of this clip. Please do better in the future.
Exactly. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel this channel is pivoting to fearmongering and culture war stuff. Outrage bait. TH-cam has enough of those channels.
Yeah, I’m just responding to viral Christian TikTok’s and Instagram reels. 🤷♀️I didn’t snip this but man, I wish I saw the whole conversation, instead of this clip then! I’m pretty sure I said that it seems we are stepping into the middle of a conversation but not sure… if I didn’t say that then I wish I did! As for fearmongering, that’s definitely not my intent! My intent is to give us practical advice and framework on how to deal with the pop-Christian culture all around us, which will either inform our theology or we can refine our theology and grow through it. That is my intent. I’m not sure what would be fear-inducing in this video but I need to watch it over again, it’s been a couple days since I’ve posted it!

I like Faith, I think she means well, but there is a number of things I have seen where she defines truth based on her bias not Scripture. We all do this, so it's not an attack against her. Notice that she believes there are a lot of unexplainable things in Scripture. And sure there are some but not as much as many some Christians believe. The problem is a lack of study and seeking the truth when an idea counters our finite worldview. We all claim to have biblical truth and correct doctrine and yet we encapsulate ourselves in our denominational bubbles. Christians often grow up in a denomination, attend a denominational Bible college and Seminary and then go preach at a Church within that denomination. Not because we want to be stuck in a bubble but because we feel that our denomination has it correct. I don't know how you go through Seminary and not know who the "Watchers" are. That boggles my mind. To me this is what shows me, the lack of biblical teaching in our schools and churches.
In Luke 17 Jesus says that just before He returns it'll be like the days of Noah and Lot. This is a specific reference. we see this in 2 Peter 3 and Matthew 24 as well.
When we read the stories in Genesis especially 18-19 we see that people were not taken by surprise by the appearing of the LORD or angels. Both Abraham and Lot bowed and were hospitable in the same way even though they were in different places. We see that this wasn't the first time the LORD and angels appeared to mankind.
Yes they appeared in the form of men but both Abraham and Lot knew immediately upon seeing them that they weren't men and were of the LORD.
This "normal" event is unique to these times in Genesis. As we see later Joshua and later Mary (mother of Jesus) were startled by the LORD and angels having no recognition that they were of the LORD.
We see Paul in 2 Cor 12:1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows-such a one was caught up to the third heaven."
In Daniel 9 we se Gabriel being interfered with from reaching Daniel.
1st Heaven the place where the birds are 2nd Heaven the place where the planets and stars are. 3rd Heaven - Heaven where the LORD is.
We know the expanse of space
In Job 1 we see Satan say "6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
How do we think Satan and Angels finite created beings travelled to and from earth to Heaven? Why are portals so absurd? Is that anymore absurd then thinking Satan and the angels sped through the expanse of space back and forth t go from the 3rd Heaven to Earth, passing through the 2nd Heaven of space?
In Jude it says
6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
...14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Where is the abode of angels? Heaven. Job 1, 38. So they left their abode to go where? Earth. to do what? Seek after strange flesh. Us. Mortals. They are immortal beings, we're not.
Now I am not here to say the book of Enoch is canon, it's not. But it is an educational tool since Jude directly quotes it and since we see references in it to Genesis 6, 2 Peter 2, and other passages.
Now we know Enoch 1 was found in the Dead Sea caves which pre-date the Gospels and Jude. So Jude is quoting Enoch
Enoch chapter 1:9 "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly:
And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Excerpt From Researchers Library Of Ancient Texts Vol 1
This material may be protected by copyright.
The "watchers" are the immortal angels that came to earth to procreate with human women. To create gods (small g), immortal, divine/human hybrids. "Men of renown". Genesis 6, Deuteronomy 32:17.
Now do I think the transfiguration was a time travelling portal? No. Do I think it was a portal from earth to Heaven? Yes. I would disagree with faith's conclusion that it diminishes GOD. GOD is logical, rational, all knowing, precise, eternal, trying to understand His way, His plans is part of being a Christians and getting to know the LORD. There's a difference between "I don't know" because I have searched for answers and can't find any, and not searching to understand.
I think it diminishes GOD when we don't try to study these things out. I think we end up putting GOD into a really small box. The box of our own finite worldview.
I like your boldness most need to be this way
To that Abraham Lincoln discussion. It reminds me of the passage in Joshua where he asks this angel, “ are you for us or for our adversaries?” And he says “neither” he is the commander of the LORDs army. The church is full of Christian’s who want to be the main character, but God is the main character.
What a perfect example!
If you don't know what the watchers are, then you should definitely read Dr. Michael Heiser's (former Logos theologian, recently deceased) book the Unseen Realm. The watchers are referenced in Daniel 4 (see v 13, 17, and 23, the KJV wording is clearest).
However, keep in mind that Heiser gets in to speculation, imagination, extrabiblical nonsense. Sadly, a lot of people weak in faith, or newcomers, may be led astray by Heisers work.
For example, I have seen many people who think the books of Enoch are scripture, God breathed. Then they get caught up in all the nonsense, but have no understanding of the actual Bible. Heiser is a better entry for people coming from UFO and conspiracy theories, weird religions and paganism... turning to Jesus.
Yes, Mike Heiser is an excellent resource for finding out who the watchers are and their role in biblical history! Unfortunately, many people are afraid to dig too deeply into the supernatural realm of the Bible.
Thank you for writing this comment. I was just about to respond with the same information.
Watchers according to Daniel are holy ones. They are a part of God's divine council. Totally agree and recommend the book The Unseen Realm. Dr. Heiser was such a blessing and continues to be even after his passing. His fearlessness to tackle passages most theologians were afraid to made him unlike many others. His books allow believers to read the Bible through the lens of someone in the ancient premodern world.As he says' You'll never be able to look at your bible the same way again.' Our context is not their context'. He was right.
- yes! Thank you for making this comment. Dr H’s work helped Sept me free from false doctrine, and his book What Does God Want helped me understand what salvation is. I’m forever grateful!
I think it’s important to note that lamenting (quite literally complaining, groaning, being impatient etc) is a Biblical practice. We have to be able to bring the ugliest darkest stuff to the Lord knowing He’s big enough to hold it and listen to us and help guide us through it into praise and trust and deeper faith. Lamenting takes faith!
This is what I was thinking too!
I'd say I think lamenting is very different than complaining. Again, that Numbers 14 passage is a great place to look and see the difference of heart. Lamenting is running to Jesus and taking your worries there, complaining is the opposite!
Agreed that lamenting is ALWAYS a focused discourse with God and not other humans. But I do think it’s in the very “formula” of a lament to cry out a complaint. David wasn’t just worrying he was bitter and enraged and impatient
I definitely agree because when the Israelites are led out of Egypt we see the complaining versus David in Psalms where it shows HOW to lament. And I think the difference is that in our lamentation or stress or anxiety we acknowledge God is GOD and we’re going to him for that reason which is what we see David doing.
Very happy I came across your channel! Thank you!! 🙏🏽 God bless you and your family
You’re like a big sister and I love watching your videos. You explain things so we’ll and keep it so sweet🥹💕🙏🏻
Thank you for this video!! I love this biblical reaction format, its great!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So many people look to science to explain the world, I think it is important when science supports the Word. This will often point people back to Christ and the Word, when just talking to them about Christ won't. It is amazing to me how God uses everything in the world to point to Him, if people will just look honestly.
“Christian gloop” 😂 a great piece of terminology for something that so many of us need to address.
I’m not as diligent in fact checking Christian videos as I should be…thank you for this video Faith! It’s a timely reminder to do so 😊
Thats why you have to pray for God to help these people in office . No one is perfect, but God can change the heart of anyone. Example Saul to Paul.
16:59 It always freaks me out when someone says, "my Jesus ..."
The best advice I have ever been given was to take everything with a grain of salt. To go and find the scripture, read the whole verse, the one before and after, the whole story, chapter, and book if I have to. And then to pay on it and let the Lord reveal to me what the truth is.
I want to say, in regards to the video about speaking to the water, that has a Convert who is still learning her faith, learning what it all means, how prayer works: the proof that blessing the water and speaking kind words to the water, made it better, helps me to know that prayer really does work. Because while it’s good and all that for people with strong faith to not “worry” and to simply have faith, there’s some of us who need that extra to help us grow our faith.
Hey sister Faith hope you are well I think the thought of Angle being made in 10 D can be a bit weird but I do think it adds to the idea that God has created more than we can imagine and it is out of our own understanding, and shows God creativity as well
I love watching cliffs videos, he’s such a smart and respectful guy. Always makes me think
I think a discussion on the differences/similarities between complaining and lamenting would be a good video 😊
I was convicted this time around after the election results that my attitude and arrogance were in full throttle when I join the band wagon of “the winners” and make jokes and roll my eyes and act like a bad winner. I needed to be reprimanded that we are all loved by God and are ALL God’s children. The only side that is always winning is God’s side. To remember that the people who are genuine in their fears because they are deceived and that I need to pray in a whole different way and become more Christ like in my actions. Totally got humbled.
Same
I think you need to look into Dr Michael Heiser, Dr Chuck Missler and even the podcast Butterflies are Ninjas. There is a depth that just makes us curious.
Loved this! I really enjoyed all of the biblical points you made to support and/or sort through these videos, and I completely agree with you on all of this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gosh I LOVEEEEE this video!!! So much good meat!! Thank you for showing actual examples. So many people are so vague when talking about heresy or popular people and I never know who they are talking about so it’s useless. You have provided such good examples in an edifying way!
Glad you liked it and it was helpful to you!
On the last clip, I’ve kind of done what he done, with mixing up scripture. I mean, I wasn’t preaching, I was just speaking to my husband, but I felt horrible about it when I realized I had. Thank you for this video, i have so much learning and growing to do and your videos minister to and help me so much.

That's so true thank you for that and yes we do need the Lord's discernment on these videos that are out there so very very much!!!!!
I’m 44 seconds in & the look on your face literally made me laugh so hard because I had the same look lol 😅
Hi Faith, can you do more book recommendations??😊 I'm so keen to see what you've read lately. ❤️💥
I plan on it! Been working on a project and reading less “fun” books but I hope to have a reading vlog up soon!
Glory to God for sending your channel to my feed at just the right time. Thank you so much for your high-energy, Godly videos. Your videos literally helped me get deep into God's word. I was desperately trying to read and comprehend the Bible. When I took your advice and started highlighting and scrap booking - adding fun colorful pages - my comprehension increased 100%! I'm on my second Bible - I no longer add pages for writing as I am filling journals. Thank you again ❤ for inspiring my love for reading my Holy Saviors word.

Yeah saw Cliffe Knechtle video before the election, I thought he made many great points and was very concise, I prayed every Christian of voting age in the U.S would hear what he said, even now I pray they will hear this message. ❤
This is a good video. Thanks but standing for truth!! We do need to be aware of false teachers. You're being respective but also helping some who believe any teacher!!
Ok. Faith, I LOVE your channel.
This is the first time I've seen this line of thought regarding the space/time thing on mountain where the transfiguration. Gotta say I am INTRIGUED on the thought. Conversation like that always makes me look at God with more awe... I think saying something about a portal in that place is a bit of a reach but the idea of God showing up outside of space and time in one spot and all of them being there is a FASCINATING thought... And thinking that God can do that...(Because wit Jim ALL things are possible)... And my opinion of that just being super cool makes me rejoice in the complexities of God and who He is and what He can do!
I personally wouldn't be thinking thru all that in order to try to explain anything and I wouldn't be using science to have to "explain" scripture.. I can't say if those guys were trying to explain away either,.. but for me personally I dont believe I'm dishonoring God OR minimizing miracles. Because if God was really there the one time and not multiple times I think that adds a complexity and more miracle on the miracles of Him showing up there. And I'm not saying it happened that way.. not adding to OR taking away from His miracles, but marveling at the possibilities and understanding that as complex as we think it could be, He is still bigger and more complicated that anything we can think. He is amazing! I love Him! Some day, no more tears and no more pain, praising forever. ❤
Great video! It got me thinking about my issues with my attitide.
Christian "complaint" prayers are called lamentations. We bring before our Father those things that are bothering us, hurting us, driving us crazy. But a lamentation concludes with our eyes on the Savior, not our problems. We acknowledge that God is sovereign and that as His children, we trust the works He is doing in our lives. This leads to worship!
Jesus guide me. I’m overwhelmed as a single mom both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Jesus I need your help providing for my children so that they may have all they need. Lord I’m constantly struggling each month to pay rent and I struggle to buy groceries, for my sons I’m ashamed. Hear my prayers help me overcome these obstacles.
you are my strength.
Prayers are coming for you and your family God here's your prayers 🙏 be blessed be a blessing

I agree about your political stance. It has to be you digging into the word and then voting.
OMGoodness, I love Cliffe's videos. He makes you think.
Hi Faith, as a fellow viewer of yours and Ninjas Are Butterflies, I’d like to provide some context:
If you watch any of their episodes, they are Christians, they are fellow believers and talk about the Bible and God often. Most of their episodes are based on conspiracy theories and world news and things tie in, but they’re really big on spreading love and laughter.
I also watch Cliffe and his channel. I normally don’t comment, but I hope, and will add this to my prayers, that we do not judge or criticize others without doing justice in understanding each other. We need to stay united, continue having conversations, and spreading His love.
@ashliekepner4481 Yes! Exactly! They're just relaying stories from others and social medias for entertainment. I wouldn't say that they (NAB) throw out Christian content, they just happen to be Christians, which is great!
@@MaureenSkyye Cliffe is disqualified from office of pastor and he seems quite mentally ill. If you are watching his videos you are wasting your time. You could be watching actual pastors. Not some street preacher.
@@br.m I do watch sermons from local churches, but I am also a baby christian. Are there any pastors that you would recommend on TH-cam? I am more than open to looking them up(:
And I think we all battle with some form of mental illness. We just gotta pray for others.
@@br.m how was cliffe disqualified? Where did you get this info
Love the reaction video Faith. Keep it up. 😉😁🙏🏽
Thank you! Will do!
👏👏👏👏👏 Praying for you, Faith! What a vital ministry you have here online. I enjoyed and appreciate this video so much.
Also, that guy saying Paul didnt complain! 👀 He needs to see II Cor 1. Paul felt close to death because of the trial he was in. Trials give us comfort because they reveal our need for God. That comfort is transferrable to others. His message bothers me the most for some reason. Sorry...Ill stop preaching now. Lol
I would love to buy from YOUR store but you only have hats available? I would love your old design tshirt with the circles/bible nerd or maybe other tshirt designs. Please bring them back!
I don’t think it is meant for us to understand everything and be able to explain everything. That is where our faith comes in.
Hebrews 11:1!
I enjoy this video. I think it's a great topic to discuss.
Can you do a prayer journaling video maybe a week of it
here ya go! th-cam.com/video/YB3H-hD4Wbw/w-d-xo.html
I watch cliffs often on TH-cam. No tiktok here. And he has helped me so much understand why Jesus Christ is the one true God. He is a great speaker and motivator to listen to God.

@ Faith thank you so much for responding to my comment. Although this may came a goofy question to you. I don’t know what your divided digits are for?
Great video. Is there any chance u could do a video with tips for memorising the bible for those with memory issues caused by health. I so want to memorise more scripture but I’m really struggling to.

Names on ballots change which is why I look at the policies of each party and then determine who gets my vote.
Honest question about our words changing things physically…do you think the guy in the video may have been pointing towards encouraging people that they possess a power to actually, like literally, change their physical surroundings? To me it seemed like he was touching on theories rooted in the law of attraction and using our secret abilities to manifest changes to create our own reality. The reason I point this out is because 2 years ago I was deceived into having this type of philosophy and using my “higher self” to basically be my own god. Then I met Jesus and my life was completely transformed. Praise Him for delivering me from that darkness.
From the book of James and because he is writing to new Christians who are fighting and gossiping about each other, I’ve come to understand the power of the tongue to mean that the words we use towards others can negatively or positively affect them and that those words can steer the rudder to have an impact on the direction our life takes. Not that our words hold powers to change physical matter around us.
Just curious of your thoughts on this 🙂
I’m not Faith, but I had the same thoughts as you. It didn’t sound scientific to me. I am a microbiologist. It sounded more like you describe and I came out of that as well.
I think this is a valid question. I follow Melissa Dougherty and she's been big on creating awareness of New Thought as something different than New Age and I can definitely see that this "scientific discovery" could be used as "proof" for New Thought. I'm interested to know if Faith responds to this point.
@@mandyfifer8994 Joyce Meyer talks about the power of our words and that way all the time.
@@minimouse8153 exactly. I don't trust Joyce Meyer. She's too much on the prosperity message side of things in the "name it and claim it" group.
Not to say our thoughts and mindset and words don't have power but the real power comes from the Holy Spirit,.. from God. Not us.
@@mandyfifer8994 right. I listened to her for years. She’s a wolf.
Thank you so much, there are huge ministries built on some of the 'out there' ideas and I feel like they lead people into gnosticism.
My thoughts on the transfiguration moment is that the idea of all 3 in a major point of their lives to have stood on the same mountain is an interesting idea. But for me, it stops there. You mentioned the word belittle and I agree. I feel like it belittles the others faith. Because if they only proceeded in their walks with God because they “had proof” since they spoke to Jesus takes away from them moving forward in faith.
YES! Also, if we have to explain away Moses or Elijah's presence at the transfiguration by use of a portal, it brings up tons of questions around resurrected bodies and the reliability of scripture.
@ YES!
Saying you have “no idea what the Watchers are” is proof you do not know scripture as much as you claim you do. 👍
I agree with how our words effect things, but how does the water know every language? 😂
Their convo about a potential portal on mt Hermon isn’t dangerous like you’re saying. There’s a lot of reason to believe that, and doesn’t take away from Christ’s divinity in the slightest.
Love this 💙
Hopefully someone can comment and help me out here. Speaking of false prophets and prophecies there is so much leading Christians astray in the world. My question is can someone please share any insight or advice about A Course in Miracles? Is it ok, not ok? The information I have found is so misleading and I just keep feeling it’s wrong and also keep hearing that God is not the author of confusion, satan is. Thank you to anyone who wants to advise. 🙏🏼
Not ok. New Age material.
You may want to know as you have a public channel that reaches Europe: the term "jipping" is a derrogatory term, associating Roma people (aka "gypsies") with theft. It's lost that connotation for the most part in the US since there isn't a very large Roma population, but in Europe the word and the racism is still very alive and well, and the word may be jarring to someone from that part of the world.
The watchers, meaning the fallen angels.
Such a smooth transition into the sponsered part 😂😎
lol... I tried... didn't work as well as I'd hope but seriously, they are so amazing. I have been obsessed with Kerusso since I was like 12 or 13 yrs old! I even said for a while I wanted to name my first son "Kerusso" because I was so inspired by them! My husband eventually shot that idea down! lol
@ Love that!
I saw this idea in another video and was like woh what if thats true because there both on the mountain but what your saying majes sence as well
I actually watch and follow Pastor Cliffe Knechtle, he talks to college kids and really gets them thinking and learning about God.
He seems mentally ill. He has some bad teachings. His attitude is also bizarre. He is too aggressive and combative. He is not qualified for the office he occupies. I guess that's why he is out in the street like salt that has no saltiness!
Thank you Faith! Satan uses everything as his platform for lies and destruction so facilitating awareness of these lies is so valuable.

what is your take on all the new AI that does representation of scripture regarding the angels and things described in revelation? just curious.

Great video! While our citizenship is in heaven, we will not be in heaven forever, but on the new earth after that--so it does matter how we treat the present creation! (N. T. Wright has written a *lot* on this in connection with New Testament scholarship.)
Another point to reflect on is whether voting is a right or a duty. As soon as it becomes mandatory, it ceases to be a right. (And third parties do exist...I always wonder what would happen if everybody truly looked and voted for the candidate that *best* matched their values.)
will you be doing a black Friday sale for your courses?

None of this has to be explained in faith. Faith can stand on its own. God created science as well.q
Great video
I think it’s sort of like, with Moses and Elijah and Jesus, I think what they meant is sorta like in some movies, you can be in a place that someone else was but in a different time if that makes sense, there’s a horror movie called “the haunting of the queen mary” and it tells a story of 2 families on the same queen mary, but in different timeframes
The whole Apologetics attempts to explain the unexplainable which is in and of itself, ignorant....for the lack of a better (professional) word. Job 11:7-8 (NLT) Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty? Such knowledge is higher than the heavens and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld what do you know? Faith, this was a great topic of discussion because alot of believers may get caught off guard with all this foolishness if they aren't careful.
The watchers are a reference to the sons of God from genesis 6. They are called the watchers in the book of Enoch. You need to read some Michael Heiser.
Try the tewehedo Bible
Jesus said that we are to pray to the Father... Why is anyone praying to Jesus? In Jesus name... This shows our belief in him, but we are not supposed to pray to his human name.... Am I the weird one?
Watchers are the angels that came down in Genesis 6. It's just another word for angels basically.
The nephilim? Those are notoriously a debated subject in the Bible! Why are they reading them into the transfiguration I wonder? How odd. I could go track down the whole conversation but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be edifying 🤣 or good use of my time!
Wow. 😂
I liked some of your content, but you lost me after this video AND comment. I find it to be highly pretentious in character and delivery. 😂
I can’t find the TikTok of Cliffe Knechtle
A couple lies I have personally learned lately is the names of our Creator and Savior, and also the "rapture". It isn't for the righteous but for evil. There was such a peace when I learned jesus is not our Saviors name, it is Yahusha. Yah is our Father, our Creator. Yahusha said He came in His Fathers name. Him you would not accept, but he who comes in his own name we would accept. Yah doesn't change or change His name. J is not of Yah or Yahusha. Paleo Hebrew is what Moses spoke and that's what Yah spoke to him in. Also, the "rapture" isn't for the righteous, it's for the evil. Matt 13:36-43, Matt 13:47-50, Matt 24:36-44 are all about removing evil. Not rapturing of the saints before tribulation. 1 thess 4:13-18 is Paul telling us to comfort one another in knowing we will be together again... the caught up part will happen at the end with everyone there ❤
I agree ,we really need to totally trust God and that there are things we cannot explain or truly understand. That’s what makes God, God! As far as the election goes, I pray and read the word I can’t let the people around me affect my vote, God has no problem leading me and helping me make decisions yes even in choosing our president, why would that be the one thing we don’t think we need to pray about as important as it is? We forget division, hatred, and arguments does not come from flesh and flesh and blood, it’s the enemy of our soul who seeks to totally divide the church of Jesus Christ, a house divided will not stand . I pray that the Lord will open our eyes and hearts and help us to keep Jesus on the throne and remember that He is Lord.

A king saw a watcher coming down from heaven Dan 4:23
No where in the KJV
can I find the word portal ( it is not in the KJV) to describe a watcher appearing !!
I don't know what off the wall Bible these guys are reading .
But it's inaccurate .
And there are dome Bible's that don't come anywhere near what the Word of God says.
I agree with you so much. I get so irritated at bible study because people try to explain miracles etc via (pseudo or unconfitmed) science. Like no, that's not the point of the bible story... God is God. We do a disservice sometimes if we put him in the box of science. He created science and nothing is impossible for him to change. Also the need to understand and apply everything: the story about the dog woman and Jesus was not about we should treat people like that. Jesus was testing her and making a statement about what the good news means for Israel and gentiles. He didn't refuse her, he was testing her faith. We should put ourselves in her shoes: she was not offended, she knew how the Jews regarded gentiles and had such faith in Jesus that she responded the way she did.

First comment! Love this faith!
You're the best!
once I heard about the women going out during ttom I was thinking I'd love that LOL!
The Watchers are in Daniel 4, but perhaps you've already discovered that.
Not trying to make light but your reaction and the girl reacting to the woman "pastor" telling the story of the Syrophoenician woman are funny you both were synchronized in your reactions. I also really appreciate these types of videos. Even though I know what these people are saying is at the very least disrespectful to God they are misleading to people who for whatever reason believe the stuff that is being said. Sometimes stop and think "wait what, I didn't get that from the bible".
I don't get your argument here…. Balaam the false prophet literally used the words “I see Him, but not near.…” in reference to the coming messiah.
Jesus said Abraham saw my day and rejoiced…
We can't completely dicount what these podcasters are saying…
Unless we are saying prophecy has to originate from spoken words…as oppossed any special revelation God chooses.
The entire book of revelation is bases on what John say 2000 years ago about our time today .
Yeah I don’t think anything they said discounts or “belittles” what the Bible is saying and what actually happened; I have had similar beliefs not from a place of knowing everything or explaining away doubts but just recognizing patterns in scripture and understanding the spiritual realm from a Biblical perspective
The "Watchers" come from the Book of Enoch.
Oh boy. 🙃 using apocryphal texts to exegete passages like the transfiguration is never going to go well. These guys need to reevaluate their whole hermeneutic!
@@HowtoFaithALife Apocryphal texts & shrooms 🤭
@@freddiedejesus785 ahhhh that makes more sense!
"The Watchers" are part of Gods devine council mentioned in Daniel 4:17.
The literal Hebrew reads
By the decree of the watchers is the decision, and by the word of the Holy ones the sentence, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom he wills he gives it and the lowest of men he sets over it.
Watchers = comes from an Aramaic root corresponding to the word uwr- which is a watcher i.e. an angel/ guardian.
Yes Enoch speaks of the watchers but so does the bible. Different translations simply take out that word and replace it with angel or holy ones which is fine.
The concept is biblical and Enoch is either directly quoted multiple times by biblical authors or referenced indirectly by other biblical writers meaning that they assumes their people had read it and knew why it was referenced regardless of it not being considered cannon of scripture.
So it wasn't from some other book. It was from the Holy Scripture 😊 not shrooms.
@@HowtoFaithALifeJude quotes Enoch - he obviously considered it authoritative, so it's always been odd to me that we believe Jude was inspired, but the book he obviously thought was inspired was not.
I haven't watched, but going by some of the comments: is this political?
No.
@ashleycalix2768 thank you. There must just be several people MAKING it about politics.
Acts 16:25-26 is what he was talking about. It said Paul prayed and said praises and his chains came off. Yes, there was also an earthquake… and no, we don’t know if he said “holy, holy” exactly but he was in a bad situation (one of the worst you can be in and he praised) and so should we.
I am not sure what would be wrong with what the guy said.
Maybe it’s just that your mind was focused on Peter account and you didn’t have a chance to rewatch what he actually said compared to acts16… it seems like you should have cut this part out of the video since you misspoke
22:33 i think you are of the “once saved, always saved” camp.
Consider the end of James where it says to pull your brother back. We can choose to walk away from God. There are many scriptures related to that…!!
What the heck???? Is he tripping?
Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, wanted no one to die, so He gave His life so that anyone who believes in Him can have everlasting life.
Read the Bible then deep dive in your commentaries, dictionaries, and the language its written. We may never know the whole story, but trusting God and that his Word is true is what we have for now.
I 100% agree that we should strive to be on God's side in EVERY aspect of our lives...it's not a good practice to make those claims about which party is "God's Party", but it is equally as important to expose and express which party CAN not and IS not on God's side. Case and point, the Democratic Platform states that their party is pro-abortion (formally known as Pro-Choice). You can NOT be on God's side and also be for the murder of life in the womb. Period. I am open to any proof that the Republican Platform is anti-God's word...I just haven't found the proof like I have with the Democrat Party. I do not believe that the Republican Party is God's Party...but I KNOW the Democrat Party is not on God's side. How about we don't endorse a person or a party as God's but instead let's talk about who is NOT on God's side. Abortion is a no-brainer for believers. God bless, Bereans!

Hey, can you study me with some spiritual tools or maybe my angel? 😊

Sounds like he’s trying to explain God. Portals? He’s read too much Harry Potter.
You were absolutely coming in on the middle of a conversation with that first clip. And the portals they were referring to were in reference to the way angels travel between here and heaven. The ways things of the realm of God end up here on earth. Also this wasn’t an idea these guys came up with but one presented to them that they were talking about. Also God uses nature all the time to bring about His will. You were wrong in your use of this clip. Please do better in the future.
Exactly. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel this channel is pivoting to fearmongering and culture war stuff. Outrage bait. TH-cam has enough of those channels.
Yeah, I’m just responding to viral Christian TikTok’s and Instagram reels. 🤷♀️I didn’t snip this but man, I wish I saw the whole conversation, instead of this clip then! I’m pretty sure I said that it seems we are stepping into the middle of a conversation but not sure… if I didn’t say that then I wish I did! As for fearmongering, that’s definitely not my intent! My intent is to give us practical advice and framework on how to deal with the pop-Christian culture all around us, which will either inform our theology or we can refine our theology and grow through it. That is my intent. I’m not sure what would be fear-inducing in this video but I need to watch it over again, it’s been a couple days since I’ve posted it!
Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns and then a earthquake happened and their chains fell off

This is my Pastors take on “how to vote like Jesus”. Very straight forward, scripture based. ❤
