Love this video !!! Yes, words do indeed have power. The power to hurt you, to traumatize you. The Bible contains many such words. Great interpretation of Isaiah 55:6-9. I have NEVER before had its proper context explained. Always, it was quoted to cover up the fact that I was being lied to regarding some nonsensical doctrine.
Some say that John wrote this to combat the destruction that Paul was causing by teaching gentiles that they were allowed to eat meat sacrificed to idols, as long as it didn’t cause anyone to stumble. Paul was false, and the Jewish followers of Jesus knew it because they knew God’s word. Nobody is EVER allowed to eat meat sacrificed to idols. An idol is nothing, but God’s word is eternal.
Paul the apostle was not a false teacher or an apostate prophet. He spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the Apostles knew this and it is why they affirmed him in Acts and sent Him out as the apostle to the gentiles. You contradict the Lord who set him apart and chose to use him to build up the church by instructions which you are twisting as you lack context and understanding the point of application. Repent of proclaiming lies and study to show yourself approved unto God as a workman not needing to be ashamed.
@@davidalvarado6420 a man is NOT justified by faith apart from works. GRACE has been offered by God from the beginning, but it’s not free. One must turn from his sins, do the work, and God will give grace. Abraham was NOT justified by faith apart from works. Abraham OBEYED God and that’s why Abraham was chosen.
@@AbrahamsBridges The doctrine of justification by faith alone is not only supported by the writings of Paul but also finds affirmation in the Gospels and the teachings of other apostles as mentioned which you never addressed. Here is a contextual comparison of various passages: Paul's Writings Romans 3:28: "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law." Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Gospels John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." This verse emphasizes the necessity of faith (believing loyalty/trust) in Jesus for salvation. John 6:28-29: "Then they said to him, 'What must we do, to be doing the works of God?' Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.'" Jesus emphasizes belief (faith) as the key requirement for doing God's work. Teachings of Other Apostles Acts 15:7-11 (Peter's speech at the Jerusalem Council): "And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, 'Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.'" Peter affirms that salvation comes by grace through faith, not through works of the law. 1 John 5:4-5 (John the Apostle): "For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" John emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus for overcoming the world and achieving victory (salvation). The consistent message throughout the New Testament, from teachings of Jesus in the Gospels, Paul’s epistles to the churches, and the other apostles writings, is that justification and salvation come through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is distinguished from works of the law, which cannot earn salvation. The apostles, including Peter and John, echo this doctrine, emphasizing grace and belief in Jesus as central to the Christian faith. You mentioned that grace is not free which is contradictory, grace is something freely given despite the fact that you do not deserve it. You stated Abraham as many who promote works is from the apostle James letter but people fail to take context into consideration which brings clarity to the teachings. Paul and James are addressing different issues within the early Christian communities. Paul confronts those who rely on the works of the law (like circumcision and ritual observances) for salvation, stressing that faith in Christ is the only means of justification. James, on the other hand, addresses a potential misunderstanding of Paul's teaching-namely, that one can have saving faith without any corresponding ethical behavior. James insists that such "faith" is not genuine faith. Show from Scripture, in context, that people are justified some other way then believing which is trust and obedience to turn to Him away from sin (no work involved, solely a willful decision to acknowledge your sinful condition and need for salvation and humbling yourself).
