I am in awe of this mans ability to have the Bible memorized but also the Quran and Hadith , he knows English, Arabic, Greek, and who knows? I feel so inadequate to even be called a believer in Christ. My head spins listening to him.....I can’t stop! Makes me want to get into the Word more. If only I had his energy!
@@louskimming4371I respect this breakdown. Now, has God(Christ) not been calling for all people forever? Helkou to His people all throughout it the old testament and now the new age knocks. He pleads with us to answer to His knock. So because that prerequisite/condition has been met, wouldn’t it be that people choose Him? If it is so that He has indeed written His law on our hearts, hasn’t that condition been met? I read your comment intently, and this is what came to me for a response. I hope you can do the same. God bless.
@@louskimming4371 Where do you come with the idea that decisions are works? Is that Biblical because I haven’t come across that idea in my reading. Anyways, yes I agree with a lot of what you said, we need God, our works don’t earn us salvation all of that. Reading Romans 8, from the beginning Paul is talking to the people who are in Christ(those who believe in Him and ultimately have repented). So when it goes on to say His elect, His elect are those who believe in Christ who came for them. Just like you said, those who saw them didn’t believe, they didn’t even want to. Peter walked with Him and denied Him, Judas betrayed Him, but Christ still said all 12 names were written in the book of life, they were to baptize. prophecy, all of the gifts. So were they not His elect? When God pleads with His people in Jeremiah to turn from their idols, asking them how much longer will they be slaves to them. Is God saying that it’s not their free will keeping them from repenting and turning to Him? God is unfathomable, I agree, He is not indebted to us, but He did make a covenant and He is not a liar. Christ fulfilled His prophecy do that coming covenant and now we must choose or not.
@@louskimming4371i wish i knew the bible better… i feel you are being totally honest and transparent… its so difficult in these times know what information is genuine unadulterated truth and who is being completely open and honest… its like the days of Noah except its a flood of information….my inner voice/gut/intuition is saying you are right…
You who believe are in a personal journey. The great equalizer in all born again Christians, is faith. He is gifted but you are as well perhaps in your humility. Bless you brother. 🙏
Paul said the Word "worketh effectually" in us. If we aren't IN the Word, then it won't dwell in us and flow off of our tongues for the sake of others. ❤
I am blown away by Sam’s superhuman ability to recall the exact passages for each of his points with no PowerPoint or references in front of him like most do. It’s like he has a Bible microchip implanted in his brain.
I believe that the supernatural ability you are referring to is the grace of the Holy Spirit who reminds him of the scriptures. Our admiration of this gift should lead us all to the Lord and recognize He is giving this minister the wisdom and supernatural intelligence that Paul refers to in Colossians 1: 9-10. We should pray that God will also fill us with this grace so that we also increase in the knowledge of God and walk worthy of His call.
The Word, if you are reading daily, will be engraved on the tablet of your heart, and when ministering/teaching, or even talking to someone on the street, the Holy Spirit can prompt a verse because it has been engraved, not memorized. But, if you are not reading and studying Gods Word, or if you only read verses that your friends send to you on Facebook. Your engraving is shallow, return to the study of the Word, most are still only able to take milk, you should be rightly handling the meat of the Word, and you still want to look at signs, and wonders. You should be focusing on listening diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, but you can’t, you don’t know his voice, you haven’t bothered to apply that to the tablet of your heart, but instead you have follow after the ways of the world. I pray you turn swiftly, draw near, and He will draw near to you. Come with a repentant heart in Jesus name, His judgment is coming, prepare your hearts. Seek the Lord while he still may be found. Today is the day of salvation. Thank you, Rod
This is true also of John McArthur and Allen Nolan. Excellent teachers even if I disagree sometimes with pastor John. Learning so much after going to two different religions. I’m asking for blessings and God answers.
I think this is an esoterc you 're speciallized for our brother to be as one body of Christ , Thank you Lord Jesus for the love given to us , your promised in Romans 8 :14 , we believe and thanks your holly SpiritEspirit for guidance and to be strong our faith , 43:58
I cannot put in to words how grateful I am for this guidance and knowledge Sam. As an ex JW I am finally starting to see a way forward through the lies that have burdened me since leaving the cult, 25 years ago.
Earlier today I watched a teaching on How To Witness To A Jehovah's Witness. I don't remember exactly what he said about the organization, but at that particular point, I thought 'yeah, that sounds like a cult.'
@@rickhuntling7338 because he helps me understand the WORD, the nuances, the connections, and his thought process as an apologist, makes clearer the path in Christ that I often times stray from in every day life, due to doubt and "others" who seek to muddle the path.
@@rickhuntling7338 so as an example from Sam.. do you believe Jesus willed 9 year olds to be raped? thats predestination.. I dont believe that of My LORD and savior.. the FATHER has granted us FREE WILL to choose, and those that choose the Grace of Salvation thru Christ Jesus, are few indeed.
Didn't someone have to fulfill God's will? Wasn't Judas chosen by God to turn Jesus in? So like the Calvinists believe (and scripture say) some are made for destruction. Romans 9:21-23 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? 22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath-prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory-
Sometimes I watch Sam's video's and think he is harsh, arrogant, disrespectful, and mean. I'm wrong! He is an absolute WARRIOR for Christ, who has a heart and mind for Christ and his people.Thank you for your insight and wisdom. I'll keep watching and learning.
My husband struggled for three years to accept that the Bible was contradicting his family's denominational teaching on baptism as an "outward sign of inward grace". But the Spirit never let him rest until he accepted the truth. Beautiful!
I’m afraid that if I get baptized to be saved, I will be denying Christ’s sufficient sacrifice, and ultimately not have salvation. Jesus seems to say that belief is the only metric.
@@UncleJohn_GayisBad I want to. And I think I’ve found a church that believes a lot of truth and is capable of giving me baptism. A concern I’ve had is whether I unknowingly receive baptism from someone who isn’t actually a Christian. Tell me this. If it’s ineffectual to get baptized by a non Christian. And if baptism is necessary. And if you get baptized by someone who says they are a Christian, but for some reason they don’t believe Christ and are not actually a Christian. Is that baptism true in the eyes of God?
I've watched, or rather listened to, most of this, and one thing I've noticed is all of this they've read so far was addressed to the Jews. The epistles of Paul, Romans - Philemon, has different teachings for the current age. I think he did mention one of them, but even so, the baptism Paul refers to is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which Jesus Himself even told His disciples was coming at the start of Acts.
I really believe Sam is the very best Christian teacher ive ever seen ive learned more in last wk since ive been watching Sam than i have in last 30yrs. Almost every question ive had about scripture he has gone over his teachings are fascinating and i love that he is truly just seeking the truth and has put the work in to find and it he truly does seek the real truth of Jesus christ
Don't be deceived. Read your Bible more and pray that God gives you discernment and wisdom so that you won't be led astray. Do not rely too much on Sam but on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Author and the Founder of our faith.

This was an excellent lesson on properly reading the bible and not bringing my prejudices to the text. God bless you Sam. I appreciate your passion and grace.
Thanks Sam - former Calvinist who was confronted by the early church. Let’s say my needle has moved on everything and I truly believe by His grace I’ve moved toward a more and truly biblical understanding of God’s Holy word. I am consuming scripture with new eyes and softened heart. You are serving me and I am serving my family with energy and vigor for His Holy Word
That's just great! A friend of mine did the same thing. After believing and teaching the false doctrine of eternal security for many years, he finally rejected it. He then told me: "Now when I read the Bible, it finally makes sense".
Sam, my brother, you are truly blessed. Having been touched by trauma I’ve always struggled with predestination to the point that I’ve often questioned what is the point for me to even try or carry on but I feel I may finally be able to shed that burden. Thank you 🙏
James Try this video on predestination, it’s helped me a lot, and it goes over most verses used for determinism: th-cam.com/video/7jTf58y5ZKg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hS-Z7iqPgJGgnRh9
This session was predestined to be insanely blessed 🙏🏼 This format is much more fruitful than the livestreams! Loved the humbleness you presented by considering those from other denominations as your brothers and sisters in Christ! May God bless you and your kids and hopefully we can expect more of these sessions🙏🏼
@@deusvult2302 I understand your response. I used to attend the livestreams until like 3 months ago. My dilemma was that i wanted to watch more TH-camrs than Sam alone, and i simply couldn't keep up with all the vids when i would watch them live. So i decided to watch everything later on higher speed. Besides, i wasn't very talkative during the livestreams. I never doubted Sam's skills. Think he is one of the best out there. The only issue i had with the livestreams were the distractions, mostly from trolls, but also from the regulars at times. Behind the keyboards, many including myself are quick to speak and slow to listen. However, with this kind of format, when it's a face2face meeting, people including myself, don't dare to attack or interrupt as fast like with the livestreams. People actually listen, don't have side debates, and don't interrupt the speaker. Anyway, this is how i experience it, and i can understand if you disagree. God bless
It's the Holy Spirit using brother Sam to teach the truth. Praise our Holy Triune God. He's the Assyrian Encyclopedia and it's the Holy Spirit who gives him that title, because we're wretched dogs, and if anything is good in us it's from our Triune God. Praise his Holy name forever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah. God bless you, your family, and brother Sam, in Jesus Almighty name. ✝️🙏☦
Wow! I’m blown away by this man’s understanding and instruction! I’m learning to slow down when reading God’s word s! Holy Spirit help me! And thank you in advance for helping me understand, in Jesus name, Amen. 🙏🏼
I just found you. I grew up freewill baptist ( country preaching) . My grandfather preached for 75 years. Your teaching reminds me of him. He memorized the Bible and was led by the Holy Spirit in everything he did.Thank you for the inspiration to get back into the teachings of CHRIST.
Absolutely love this guy I been watching his videos for the past 10 years. God has given him such a wisdom. God my protect you and keep safe, glory to God hallelujah praise his name, forever and ever🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love ya brother, but im a calvinist, calvinism got my faith stronger reading the Bible and praying, i know my place in his kingdom that God is the ruler of my life !! God bless ya all !! JESUS US LORD !!
There is such security in knowing HE will never let us go. I went to a Baptist church and the minister turned against Calvinism which set me on my own journey and I definitely am more inclined towards Calvinism now. Jesus said those whom the Father has given me will come to me. I could never keep myself and how wonderful to know Jesus keeps me and will never let me go! He has loved us with an everlasting love. It’s when we think in human terms of God’s providence being ‘unfair’ that we go wrong! God’s ways are so high above ours that we cannot comprehend them - but we can rely on his promises for he cannot lie!
No blocking and no Interruption. Due to time constraints I'm unable to catch you live but thanks to TH-cam I can catch up. Love you Sam, Keep teaching.
Mr. Shamoun, you have to have an Eidict Memory. Your ability to know scripture of different Bibles, and other religions Books is astounding. I have a hard time recalling verses word for word. I don’t like to paraphrase Bible verses. I have to remember the book chapter and verse number and the main thing about the verse but I don’t know if I will ever be able to know them all word for word. Anyway, I want to thank you for making these videos. I have learned so much about Jesus through watching you as well as what other religions beliefs are. Wasn’t sure one person could know that much at one time, but we seem to have found one in you. You have also verified for me that what I believed is in fact correct, but you also show me how to explain to others WHY. God Bless you and keep leading others to Jesus.
Wow...just WOW!! I have struggled with this for so long and I feel free now. Father increase my knowledge closer to my brother Sam so that I can teach your people correctly!! Appreciate you my brother
Same, so often we see other Christians in different camps then jump the gun and call each other unbelievers, but in reality we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and simply disagree about how it works.
Charles Simeon’s (Calvinist) conversation with John Wesley (Arminian) It is instructive in this connection to ponder Charles Simeon’s account of his conversation with John Wesley on December 10, 1784 (the date is given in Wesley’s journal): Charles Simeon: “Sir, I understand that you are called an Arminian; and I have been sometimes called a Calvinist; and therefore I suppose we are to draw daggers. But before I consent to begin the combat, with your permission I will ask you a few questions.… Pray, Sir, do you feel yourself a depraved creature, so depraved that you would never have thought of turning to God, if God had not first put it into your heart?” John Wesley: “Yes,” says the veteran, “I do indeed.” Charles Simeon: “And do you utterly despair of recommending yourself to God by anything you can do; and look for salvation solely through the blood and righteousness of Christ?” John Wesley: “Yes, solely through Christ.” Charles Simeon: “But, Sir, supposing you were at first saved by Christ, are you not somehow or other to save yourself afterwards by your own works?” John Wesley: “No, I must be saved by Christ from first to last.” Charles Simeon: “Allowing, then, that you were first turned by the grace of God, are you not in some way or other to keep yourself by your own power?” John Wesley: “No.” Charles Simeon: “What, then, are you to be upheld every hour and every moment by God, as much as an infant in its mother’s arms?” John Wesley: “Yes, altogether.” Charles Simeon: “And is all your hope in the grace and mercy of God to preserve you unto his heavenly kingdom?” John Wesley: “Yes, I have no hope but in him.” Charles Simeon: “Then, Sir, with your leave I will put up my dagger again; for this is all my Calvinism; this is my election, my justification by faith, my final perseverance: it is in substance all that I hold, and as I hold it; and therefore, if you please, instead of searching out terms and phrases to be a ground of contention between us, we will cordially unite in those things wherein we agree.
He is a more consistent credobaptist than you are and on top of that, he preaches baptismal regeneration. He isnt a brother, but an apostate who believes in another gospel.
@@logosnomos3794 Yes, I have to delete my previous comment, the more and more I dug into his doctrine and theology it's evident he has a lot of issues. His anger is always so evident.
@@logosnomos3794believes another gospel? What gospel is that. As far as I knew, Jesus dying and rising again is the good news. That is the gospel to be preached. What do you share with the lost and suffering in this world? Do you share put your faith in Christ, or do you tell them it doesn't matter what you do, its up to God? That of course would undermine the very act of love on the cross for all. You want to understand scripture with human wisdom, and you miss the heart of God, just as the Pharisees did. I pray your comments aren't a stumbling block to those seeking truth. Calling a brother, who sure, isn't without his own issues, but calling him an apostate but he disagrees with your hope destroying heady doctrine. Wow.
@@rickhuntling7338God does not decree our every thought and deed, as you can see in Jeremiah 19:5. We’re made in the image of God, and therefore we have agency and a capacity to make decisions. John 20:31. “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” Romans 8:30 is not talking about Salvation. Salvation comes by believing in Jesus Christ. Not through an election lottery, that you were lucky enough to win.
@@rickhuntling7338 Romans 8:30 is talking about discipleship, not salvation. You are saved through Christ, not through election, before Christ ever walked the Earth. Let me clear something else up, right away, and I would ask you to dispense with the Calvinist gaslighting. I didn’t decide to save myself. I decided to put my trust and faith in The Lord, so that He would save me from Hell. God called, through The Bible, and I answered. God implores us no less than 85 separate times to seek Him out, throughout The Old and New Testaments. Why would God command us to do something He made us unable to do? What is your answer? If I have no free will, then these word are God’s, not mine. For He, according to Calvinism, decrees my every thought and deed. Furthermore, if you have no free will, then your arguments aren’t borne of reason, logic, or a grasp of anything beyond your programming. Why should I listen to the words of someone who can’t think for himself? That’s an atheist’s argument. You DO have a will of your own. You act as if you do, and you speak as if you do. So do the math on that one. God doesn’t create children for the sole purpose of occupying Hell. He desires that all men be saved. All. Not some. All.
Some charity would possibly help your case. As the old saying goes “ know one cares how much you know until they know how much you care” As someone who just stumbled upon this conversation you come across as trying to just win an argument. But if you truly care about your brother and wish to persuade him then charity would be the route I would suggest. Just my 2 cents. @@rickhuntling7338
Thank you sam for the enlightenment. I am older now, became born again a few months ago. Reading the bible is hard with aging eyes...you teach the bible so well, making it so understandable. I am addicted to watching and hearing...let him with eyes see...and those with ears hear. God bless you sam and family. 🕊 🕊 🕊
I listen to audio of scripture here on TH-cam. Just look up KJV audio Bible and you can listen to the whole thing book by book. I love it and always have it on. I even play it for my children while they sleep. They don't even know lol.
Sam I love you with the way you make me to have strong desire to read my Bible. Here in Nigeria will have fed with false concoction about what the Bible truly say by Islamic scholars because our pastors are sleeping
Man...I am truly enjoying listening to Brother Sam. His explanation of the Word is just exceptional. Even hearing him speak candidly about his position on Calvisnism is most respectable. Please stay encouraged and keep going Brother Sam.
I enjoy all his content. I have learned so much and I have a love for the word of God like never before.. . He is such a blessing to the body of Christ
From Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 so happy 😊 the Good Lord had me find your channel! I pray that many more brothers and sisters In Christ will also find your channel in Jesus mighty name! Amen
Wow. Just wow. I've watched a lot of your clips. This one has to be one of the best ever. It was just inspirational. Absolutely beautiful explanation on Baptism. God Bless you Sam.
Wow, this was really amazing. Sam I pray God's righthand be with you always and that the Holy Spirits keeps spitting fire in your soul. You are truly annointed. God bless brother
I found you. I prayed to God for someone like you to properly explain scripture. Not sure how I landed on you, but am glad. Good explanation. Just subscribed and shared
You can get a book of notes from this session. God bless the soul that was able to capture this snippet. Please do more if possible. May the Lord richly bless you.
Thank you Sam shamoun I love your expression and your complete knowledge of the Holy Bible and I watch your debates every day now as I learn from you and thank you so much
Discovered Sam a week or two ago defending Christianity against Muslims and his truth and recall are impressive!! I am amazed at how he knows the Qu’ran just as well as the Bible. It’s like he is teaching his opponent while defeating him. Wonder if Sam has Bible and Qu’ran study groups?? I would support and be a part of it! #JesusIsTheWay 🙌🏾
This was an amazing session brother. It would be lovely by God's grace to have many more sessions like this. Where there is no disturbance. God bless brother. ☺️❤️
Beautiful brother.. Our Father has giving me more knowledge and wisdom. All praise to our father; through you our father has made this possible. Keep letting the Holy Spirit 🕊 guide you… God bless you brother today, tomorrow and always ..
Thank you SAM!! I am a Calvinist but I can't stand to hear critics of it because they can't represent it well - 54:42, well done! NOW I can hear a good counter point. I will be hearing out your limited atonement debate; nice
-5:53 sounds like maruna taqiya in islam A begger asks a man some money. Man: i have no change in my purse Technicaly he is right because he has he has only paper money in his pocket. I was grown up between calvinist and catholics. I am convinced catholic. Why? Calvinism ruined the best of the best inheritanced music ever written in history: From the catholic church. The best composers , musicians woring dedicating themselver for God. Bach was lutheran. But not in a calvinistic envirement. He never wrote an opera like catholic composers do. Calvinistic psalms go back to : only the word . Like in islamic doctrine. Fine music. Beautifull women beauty specialy in opera is a sin. It distrackts you from the word. : So calvinist and muslim men are weak and have to be protected from these evil women. Ugly cloth. No perfume. No make up. Pretending God said this.
@fborregoATBeyer Hello. I am Orthodox. First it must be said that faith comes by synergy with God's grace and the consent of human free will. God’s graceworks in the coming to believe - God’s grace that calls man to believe in God and precedes his free will’s consent to the calling:,,No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.“ (John 6:44); ,,And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:“ (Acts 18:27). And that the calling is freely accepted or rejected is evident from Luke 7:29-30:,,And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him." Therefore grace is not irresistible. So even when one comes to believe, this is a result of synergy with God's grace. That synergy is with His grace in its sense of energy, operation, active power. Romans 1:20 say:,,For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Here His power refers to His uncreated energy and His Godhead refers to His essence.
Very grateful for your ministry in Christ. Being able to see your dialogue with brothers and sisters and seeing the difference between wolves in sheep’s clothing has helped me speak up 🙏🏽
This is everything I have come to believe after wrestling with Calvinism and every other system but could never put succinctly as Sam does here. Many say he is arrogant but I see that in order to confront Calvinism he must meet it in the same ground as the arrogance found in every Calvinist I have ever known. This was a profound and faith-centering experience for me to watch this talk! God is using Sam to bring to light the middle way, the narrow road Jesus speaks about and few be that find it. He’s spot on when he says we must give up the traditions of man for the sake of exegesis of the Word of God!! Lord Jesus, reveal Your Truth to all those who diligently seek You! Holy Spirit we believe that You will lead us to ALL TRUTH just as scripture has said, as long as we let You have your way!! Lord , in me, let it only be Your wisdom, discernment and understanding without any doctrines or man or traditions of the church!! Amen!! Glory to You alone Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamaschiac!! 🙌🏼✝️🙏🏼
Thank you for this video. I went in wanting to hear your thoughts on Calvinism, as I am one who has been trying to navigate through things and I was brought to tears when you got to the section about Sarai’s faith in contrast with Abraham. It made me think of the things I’ve done in my marriage and to my wife and how she, being a Godly woman, would not leave me even though she would biblically be right to do so. That really moved my spirit.
As I have told before, brother Sam is touched in a very special way by the MOST HIGH SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD, I am beyond grateful to our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this servant that HE HAS MULDED ✝️👑🕊🙏❤️
Sam this was absolutely amazing, Praise God, I'm looking forward to your breakdown on Romans 9, I'm going to rewatch this a few times, there were so many gems you touched basics on that needs to be heard again, God bless you bro, safe travelings♥
Thank you Sam put putting it out there. I agree with you on many of your points especially that we will be learning for eternity. The best part is that we are brothers in Christ because we believe in the same Gospel, praise God almighty. Please pray for me as I have been asked to prepare another Spanish sermon. The congregation is small but faithful, 14 all together. God bless you.
Can you elaborate what then is Jesus referring to in verse 8 in John 3: The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Wow, brother Sam may the Holy Spirit continue to provide you understanding. This is so sound it’s insane, I hope more of brothers and sisters have the chance at receiving this type of insight. It clears up so much confusion and uncertainty about things that have become a gray area.
Love these discussions and your teaching. And because of you Sam: I have a new found appreciation for Middle Eastern non Jews, and a more profound knowledge of the grace of Our GOD,Father and LORD.
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires ALL PEOPLE to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV
love to see how Sam points are so alined with orthodox teaching. love the exsample of how problems arise when someone held more to his personal theology then the Scripture and by defolt by the Holy Church.(because as orthodox we belive thet the scripture is made IN and FOR the Church)
He’s more leaning towards Catholicism. Although not being Catholic. I love Catholic teaching to an extent. As it does get a bit liberal in modern times. (Theistic evolution, there was death before the fall, denying Bible being perfect, all religions believe in the same God) So I mainly learn from the orthodox tradition and read the apostolic in a palamite tradition
I am in awe of this mans ability to have the Bible memorized but also the Quran and Hadith , he knows English, Arabic, Greek, and who knows?

You who believe are in a personal journey. The great equalizer in all born again Christians, is faith. He is gifted but you are as well perhaps in your humility. Bless you brother. 🙏
Paul said the Word "worketh effectually" in us. If we aren't IN the Word, then it won't dwell in us and flow off of our tongues for the sake of others. ❤
I am blown away by Sam’s superhuman ability to recall the exact passages for each of his points with no PowerPoint or references in front of him like most do. It’s like he has a Bible microchip implanted in his brain.
I believe that the supernatural ability you are referring to is the grace of the Holy Spirit who reminds him of the scriptures. Our admiration of this gift should lead us all to the Lord and recognize He is giving this minister the wisdom and supernatural intelligence that Paul refers to in Colossians 1: 9-10. We should pray that God will also fill us with this grace so that we also increase in the knowledge of God and walk worthy of His call.
I used to be like that, but if you don't stay in it you lose it.
He has Google Contacts that also responds to his voice. (AI Vision by Google)
The Word, if you are reading daily, will be engraved on the tablet of your heart, and when ministering/teaching, or even talking to someone on the street, the Holy Spirit can prompt a verse because it has been engraved, not memorized.
But, if you are not reading and studying Gods Word, or if you only read verses that your friends send to you on Facebook. Your engraving is shallow, return to the study of the Word, most are still only able to take milk, you should be rightly handling the meat of the Word, and you still want to look at signs, and wonders. You should be focusing on listening diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, but you can’t, you don’t know his voice, you haven’t bothered to apply that to the tablet of your heart, but instead you have follow after the ways of the world.
I pray you turn swiftly, draw near, and He will draw near to you. Come with a repentant heart in Jesus name, His judgment is coming, prepare your hearts. Seek the Lord while he still may be found. Today is the day of salvation.
Thank you,

I cannot put in to words how grateful I am for this guidance and knowledge Sam. As an ex JW I am finally starting to see a way forward through the lies that have burdened me since leaving the cult, 25 years ago.
Earlier today I watched a teaching on How To Witness To A Jehovah's Witness.
I don't remember exactly what he said about the organization, but at that particular point, I thought 'yeah, that sounds like a cult.'
Praise God!
I have a cousin I spoke to for 12 years now sharing the gospel with him.
Would you share your story so that I could share it with him?
This is the Bible study I need!! Sam should do live Bible study like this every Sunday. I would definitely donate. 🙌🏾

You mean every Saturday, oops. Maybe he's done a Bible study on the Sabbath day.
Didn't someone have to fulfill God's will? Wasn't Judas chosen by God to turn Jesus in? So like the Calvinists believe (and scripture say) some are made for destruction.

A master Biblical Apologist. Very valuable in the Kingdom. Blessings brother Sam
My husband struggled for three years to accept that the Bible was contradicting his family's denominational teaching on baptism as an "outward sign of inward grace". But the Spirit never let him rest until he accepted the truth. Beautiful!
I’m afraid that if I get baptized to be saved, I will be denying Christ’s sufficient sacrifice, and ultimately not have salvation. Jesus seems to say that belief is the only metric.
@@andrewlinn7863 Sam is ignoring that Ezekiel 36. A passage and prophecy Nicodemus would have been thinking of. Not necessary baptism.
@@andrewlinn7863Jesus commands you to get baptized regardless pal
@@UncleJohn_GayisBad
I want to. And I think I’ve found a church that believes a lot of truth and is capable of giving me baptism. A concern I’ve had is whether I unknowingly receive baptism from someone who isn’t actually a Christian.
Tell me this. If it’s ineffectual to get baptized by a non Christian. And if baptism is necessary. And if you get baptized by someone who says they are a Christian, but for some reason they don’t believe Christ and are not actually a Christian. Is that baptism true in the eyes of God?
I've watched, or rather listened to, most of this, and one thing I've noticed is all of this they've read so far was addressed to the Jews.
The epistles of Paul, Romans - Philemon, has different teachings for the current age.
I think he did mention one of them, but even so, the baptism Paul refers to is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which Jesus Himself even told His disciples was coming at the start of Acts.
I really believe Sam is the very best Christian teacher ive ever seen ive learned more in last wk since ive been watching Sam than i have in last 30yrs. Almost every question ive had about scripture he has gone over his teachings are fascinating and i love that he is truly just seeking the truth and has put the work in to find and it he truly does seek the real truth of Jesus christ
Don't be deceived. Read your Bible more and pray that God gives you discernment and wisdom so that you won't be led astray. Do not rely too much on Sam but on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Author and the Founder of our faith.

Way to represent, Sam.
Sam truly has the holy spirit working through him, what a great teacher. All glory to God.
This was an excellent lesson on properly reading the bible and not bringing my prejudices to the text. God bless you Sam. I appreciate your passion and grace.
Thanks Sam - former Calvinist who was confronted by the early church. Let’s say my needle has moved on everything and I truly believe by His grace I’ve moved toward a more and truly biblical understanding of God’s Holy word. I am consuming scripture with new eyes and softened heart. You are serving me and I am serving my family with energy and vigor for His Holy Word
That's just great! A friend of mine did the same thing. After believing and teaching the false doctrine of eternal security for many years, he finally rejected it. He then told me: "Now when I read the Bible, it finally makes sense".

This format is much more fruitful than the livestreams!
Loved the humbleness you presented by considering those from other denominations as your brothers and sisters in Christ!
May God bless you and your kids and hopefully we can expect more of these sessions🙏🏼
@@deusvult2302 I understand your response. I used to attend the livestreams until like 3 months ago. My dilemma was that i wanted to watch more TH-camrs than Sam alone, and i simply couldn't keep up with all the vids when i would watch them live. So i decided to watch everything later on higher speed. Besides, i wasn't very talkative during the livestreams.
I never doubted Sam's skills. Think he is one of the best out there. The only issue i had with the livestreams were the distractions, mostly from trolls, but also from the regulars at times. Behind the keyboards, many including myself are quick to speak and slow to listen.
However, with this kind of format, when it's a face2face meeting, people including myself, don't dare to attack or interrupt as fast like with the livestreams. People actually listen, don't have side debates, and don't interrupt the speaker.
Anyway, this is how i experience it, and i can understand if you disagree.
God bless
I wish someone in Latin America rise his voice against Calvinism like this brother. God bless him
His command of scripture (Bible, Koran, Torah, Hadith etc) is unparalleled.
I liked Sam the most when he said that the Holy Spirit brought me to my knees. God bless you brother in Christ.
What a fantastic teacher Sam is
It's the Holy Spirit using brother Sam to teach the truth. Praise our Holy Triune God. He's the Assyrian Encyclopedia and it's the Holy Spirit who gives him that title, because we're wretched dogs, and if anything is good in us it's from our Triune God.

This was an amazing and eye opening video Sam. May God Bless us all and soften their hearts to see the truth.
I love ya brother, but im a calvinist, calvinism got my faith stronger reading the Bible and praying, i know my place in his kingdom that God is the ruler of my life !! God bless ya all !! JESUS US LORD !!
There is such security in knowing HE will never let us go. I went to a Baptist church and the minister turned against Calvinism which set me on my own journey and I definitely am more inclined towards Calvinism now. Jesus said those whom the Father has given me will come to me. I could never keep myself and how wonderful to know Jesus keeps me and will never let me go!
He has loved us with an everlasting love. It’s when we think in human terms of God’s providence being ‘unfair’ that we go wrong!
God’s ways are so high above ours that we cannot comprehend them - but we can rely on his promises for he cannot lie!
No blocking and no Interruption. Due to time constraints I'm unable to catch you live but thanks to TH-cam I can catch up. Love you Sam, Keep teaching.
I am not a Calvinist or a “ Once saved always saved” believer but this is awesome for my arsenal. Thank you.
So you’re saying you don’t trust in God to deliver on his promise?
@@chad9455 Cathy Newman is that you?
Mr. Shamoun, you have to have an Eidict Memory. Your ability to know scripture of different Bibles, and other religions Books is astounding. I have a hard time recalling verses word for word. I don’t like to paraphrase Bible verses. I have to remember the book chapter and verse number and the main thing about the verse but I don’t know if I will ever be able to know them all word for word.
Anyway, I want to thank you for making these videos. I have learned so much about Jesus through watching you as well as what other religions beliefs are. Wasn’t sure one person could know that much at one time, but we seem to have found one in you. You have also verified for me that what I believed is in fact correct, but you also show me how to explain to others WHY. God Bless you and keep leading others to Jesus.
Wow...just WOW!!
I have struggled with this for so long and I feel free now. Father increase my knowledge closer to my brother Sam so that I can teach your people correctly!! Appreciate you my brother
Wonderful discussion. I’ve learnt so much. Prefer this kind of teaching from you Sam. Thank you.
I'm a 5 point calvinist/ reformed baptist. There are indeed disagreements but i personally respect this brother, Sam Shamoun. God bless your ministry.
Same, so often we see other Christians in different camps then jump the gun and call each other unbelievers, but in reality we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and simply disagree about how it works.
Charles Simeon’s (Calvinist) conversation with John Wesley (Arminian)
It is instructive in this connection to ponder Charles Simeon’s account of his conversation with John Wesley on December 10, 1784 (the date is given in Wesley’s journal):
Charles Simeon: “Sir, I understand that you are called an Arminian; and I have been sometimes called a Calvinist; and therefore I suppose we are to draw daggers. But before I consent to begin the combat, with your permission I will ask you a few questions.… Pray, Sir, do you feel yourself a depraved creature, so depraved that you would never have thought of turning to God, if God had not first put it into your heart?”
John Wesley: “Yes,” says the veteran, “I do indeed.”
Charles Simeon: “And do you utterly despair of recommending yourself to God by anything you can do; and look for salvation solely through the blood and righteousness of Christ?”
John Wesley: “Yes, solely through Christ.”
Charles Simeon: “But, Sir, supposing you were at first saved by Christ, are you not somehow or other to save yourself afterwards by your own works?”
John Wesley: “No, I must be saved by Christ from first to last.”
Charles Simeon: “Allowing, then, that you were first turned by the grace of God, are you not in some way or other to keep yourself by your own power?”
John Wesley: “No.”
Charles Simeon: “What, then, are you to be upheld every hour and every moment by God, as much as an infant in its mother’s arms?”
John Wesley: “Yes, altogether.”
Charles Simeon: “And is all your hope in the grace and mercy of God to preserve you unto his heavenly kingdom?”
John Wesley: “Yes, I have no hope but in him.”
Charles Simeon: “Then, Sir, with your leave I will put up my dagger again; for this is all my Calvinism; this is my election, my justification by faith, my final perseverance: it is in substance all that I hold, and as I hold it; and therefore, if you please, instead of searching out terms and phrases to be a ground of contention between us, we will cordially unite in those things wherein we agree.
He is a more consistent credobaptist than you are and on top of that, he preaches baptismal regeneration. He isnt a brother, but an apostate who believes in another gospel.
@@logosnomos3794 Yes, I have to delete my previous comment, the more and more I dug into his doctrine and theology it's evident he has a lot of issues.
His anger is always so evident.
@@logosnomos3794believes another gospel? What gospel is that. As far as I knew, Jesus dying and rising again is the good news. That is the gospel to be preached. What do you share with the lost and suffering in this world? Do you share put your faith in Christ, or do you tell them it doesn't matter what you do, its up to God? That of course would undermine the very act of love on the cross for all.
You want to understand scripture with human wisdom, and you miss the heart of God, just as the Pharisees did. I pray your comments aren't a stumbling block to those seeking truth. Calling a brother, who sure, isn't without his own issues, but calling him an apostate but he disagrees with your hope destroying heady doctrine. Wow.
Amazing stuff Sam!! I hope our Calvinist friends come to know the truth! ☦️🙏🏾
@@rickhuntling7338God does not decree our every thought and deed, as you can see in Jeremiah 19:5. We’re made in the image of God, and therefore we have agency and a capacity to make decisions. John 20:31. “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
Romans 8:30 is not talking about Salvation. Salvation comes by believing in Jesus Christ. Not through an election lottery, that you were lucky enough to win.
@@rickhuntling7338 Romans 8:30 is talking about discipleship, not salvation. You are saved through Christ, not through election, before Christ ever walked the Earth. Let me clear something else up, right away, and I would ask you to dispense with the Calvinist gaslighting. I didn’t decide to save myself. I decided to put my trust and faith in The Lord, so that He would save me from Hell. God called, through The Bible, and I answered. God implores us no less than 85 separate times to seek Him out, throughout The Old and New Testaments.
Why would God command us to do something He made us unable to do? What is your answer? If I have no free will, then these word are God’s, not mine. For He, according to Calvinism, decrees my every thought and deed. Furthermore, if you have no free will, then your arguments aren’t borne of reason, logic, or a grasp of anything beyond your programming. Why should I listen to the words of someone who can’t think for himself? That’s an atheist’s argument.
You DO have a will of your own. You act as if you do, and you speak as if you do. So do the math on that one. God doesn’t create children for the sole purpose of occupying Hell. He desires that all men be saved. All. Not some. All.
Some charity would possibly help your case. As the old saying goes “ know one cares how much you know until they know how much you care”
As someone who just stumbled upon this conversation you come across as trying to just win an argument. But if you truly care about your brother and wish to persuade him then charity would be the route I would suggest. Just my 2 cents. @@rickhuntling7338
It’s pretty simple. Two little words make it clear to me that He gave us the gift of Free Will. “For Whosoever”!
That means ALL!!!!

Technicaly he is right because he has he has only paper money in his pocket.
I was grown up between calvinist and catholics.
I am convinced catholic. Why?
Calvinism ruined the best of the best inheritanced music ever written in history:
From the catholic church.
The best composers , musicians woring dedicating themselver for God.
Bach was lutheran. But not in a calvinistic envirement. He never wrote an opera like catholic composers do.
Calvinistic psalms go back to : only the word . Like in islamic doctrine. Fine music. Beautifull women beauty specialy in opera is a sin. It distrackts you from the word. :
So calvinist and muslim men are weak and have to be protected from these evil women. Ugly cloth. No perfume. No make up. Pretending God said this.
@fborregoATBeyer Hello. I am Orthodox. First it must be said that faith comes by synergy with God's grace and the consent of human free will. God’s graceworks in the coming to believe - God’s grace that calls man to believe in God and precedes his free will’s consent to the calling:,,No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.“ (John 6:44); ,,And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:“ (Acts 18:27).
And that the calling is freely accepted or rejected is evident from Luke 7:29-30:,,And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him."
Therefore grace is not irresistible. So even when one comes to believe, this is a result of synergy with God's grace. That synergy is with His grace in its sense of energy, operation, active power. Romans 1:20 say:,,For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Here His power refers to His uncreated energy and His Godhead refers to His essence.
Very grateful for your ministry in Christ. Being able to see your dialogue with brothers and sisters and seeing the difference between wolves in sheep’s clothing has helped me speak up 🙏🏽
This is everything I have come to believe after wrestling with Calvinism and every other system but could never put succinctly as Sam does here. Many say he is arrogant but I see that in order to confront Calvinism he must meet it in the same ground as the arrogance found in every Calvinist I have ever known. This was a profound and faith-centering experience for me to watch this talk! God is using Sam to bring to light the middle way, the narrow road Jesus speaks about and few be that find it. He’s spot on when he says we must give up the traditions of man for the sake of exegesis of the Word of God!! Lord Jesus, reveal Your Truth to all those who diligently seek You! Holy Spirit we believe that You will lead us to ALL TRUTH just as scripture has said, as long as we let You have your way!! Lord , in me, let it only be Your wisdom, discernment and understanding without any doctrines or man or traditions of the church!! Amen!! Glory to You alone Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamaschiac!! 🙌🏼✝️🙏🏼
Thank you for this video. I went in wanting to hear your thoughts on Calvinism, as I am one who has been trying to navigate through things and I was brought to tears when you got to the section about Sarai’s faith in contrast with Abraham. It made me think of the things I’ve done in my marriage and to my wife and how she, being a Godly woman, would not leave me even though she would biblically be right to do so. That really moved my spirit.
Sam is so so good. I thought I’d bop in for a bit, but I got so hooked I had to finish. He is certainly a chosen one🕊️🕊️🕊️✝️
As I have told before, brother Sam is touched in a very special way by the MOST HIGH SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD, I am beyond grateful to our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this servant that HE HAS MULDED ✝️👑🕊🙏❤️
I really enjoyed this session Sam! God Bless.
Sam, thank you for sharing this. This has been incredibly insightful.
Is there a part 2 of this?
There was another part which is posted here about the Holy Spirit.
@@shamounian Thank you Sam. I am an Iraqi Christian, and your teaching(s) and passion for the Lord is awe-inspiring. God bless.
@@shamouniancan you please share a link to that parts about Holy Spirit and full explanation to being born from above what water and spirit means.
Great lesson, I have a much greater understanding on this point now, Thank you Sam.
Agree
Sam’s knowledge is simply fantastic. I’ve learned so much from him and how the entire scripture is weaved together like a tapestry.
Words can't express how much you changed my life. All I can say is Thank you from the bottom of my heart bless you.
Sam this was absolutely amazing, Praise God, I'm looking forward to your breakdown on Romans 9, I'm going to rewatch this a few times, there were so many gems you touched basics on that needs to be heard again, God bless you bro, safe travelings♥
Thank you Sam put putting it out there. I agree with you on many of your points especially that we will be learning for eternity. The best part is that we are brothers in Christ because we believe in the same Gospel, praise God almighty. Please pray for me as I have been asked to prepare another Spanish sermon. The congregation is small but faithful, 14 all together. God bless you.
Can you elaborate what then is Jesus referring to in verse 8 in John 3: The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
To me the text is refereeing to the Holy Spirit that when we are born again we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
I believe this is a text that a Calvinist would say that you have no choice.
Hello Sam my name is Alfred and I want to say thank you for proving that Jesus is Lord please keep up the good work for the glory of God
Wow, what a breakdown. Thank you Jesus for raising up a people that speak and teach like this. The Lord truly is awesome
Awesome Precious Anointed Brother in Christ Jesus 🙏 ❤️
Amazing teaching! God bless you Sam.
how incredible.the joy inside, as my spirit rejoices hearing the word of our wonderful LordGod..
Wow, brother Sam may the Holy Spirit continue to provide you understanding. This is so sound it’s insane, I hope more of brothers and sisters have the chance at receiving this type of insight. It clears up so much confusion and uncertainty about things that have become a gray area.
I love how you explain things, this is so incredibly helpful!!
Love these discussions and your teaching. And because of you Sam: I have a new found appreciation for Middle Eastern non Jews, and a more profound knowledge of the grace of Our GOD,Father and LORD.
Fantastic teaching Sam. You're so smart! I can't stop listening to you
Thank you for this study, I have been struggling with this question for over 20 years.
My goodness, Sam you're a blessing to the Body of Christ. God bless you
This was fantastic.
A blessed Christmas to you, too.
I love this formatting style I go along with it bro it’s fire. Plus the questions.. I CANT GET ENOUGH.
What an amazing teacher, praise God
This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires ALL PEOPLE to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV
love to see how Sam points are so alined with orthodox teaching.
love the exsample of how problems arise when someone held more to his personal theology then the Scripture and by defolt by the Holy Church.(because as orthodox we belive thet the scripture is made IN and FOR the Church)
He’s more leaning towards Catholicism. Although not being Catholic.
I love Catholic teaching to an extent. As it does get a bit liberal in modern times. (Theistic evolution, there was death before the fall, denying Bible being perfect, all religions believe in the same God)
So I mainly learn from the orthodox tradition and read the apostolic in a palamite tradition
Praise the Lord! God bless you brother.
Such admirable knowledge of the word of God. Thank you, Sam , for making me stronger and wiser in our Lord Jesus.
Absolute Great Session and may God bless you and your daughters, and I pray for their mother to heal.
Sam this video is a blessing. And with a heart and mind for Christ like yours, a proper video setting makes a huge difference.
Just started following you Sam. Expecting to study the word even more with you as my teacher. God bless
Sam, Merry Christmas. Thank you for your teaching. May the Lord fill you and your family with His love.
