Even though truth is shared and supported by God's Word, many STILL don't "see." It's my frequent prayer that God opens minds and hearts to hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and remain faithful...serving in His Church...mentioned in the Bible.
Greetings my Brother from a very small Church of Christ in Alabama! I was an atheist for 20 years and 3 years ago I went to this small Church. Now my wife and son are Christian's and I'll be preaching my first lesson in 2 weeks. Your a very talented speaker sir and I sure enjoyed your lesson. Y'all stay safe and God bless
The Church is Not a building it’s people, that’s in Christ born again of water throw faith n believing in Jesus the Son of the Most High GOD. Praise and Glory Lord God. God Bless Y’all 🙏🏼 Peace
The person who said you got it wrong about we,re all going to hell maybe should read more. I call it hades, which is the holding place too. Same as hell. Guess we,ll all find out sooner or later. God bless you Bro. WILLIAMS.
I just found your TH-cam Channel Evangelist Williams and I’m blown away. I belong to a baptist church in MI and I have a great Pastor, but you’ve opened my eyes. Very deep teaching. God bless your Ministry and I will be watching more 🙏🏼❤️
GM. It was a great pleasure to read that you now understand truth concerning the one church. I am a member of the church of Christ. If I understand MI, I would like to invite you to the church of Christ to learn more about Christ’s Church. I attend the church of Christ located in Coconut Grove. 3345 Douglas road, Miami, Fl. 33133. If you do not live in Miami, then please locate a Church of Christ in your area. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this. So much unnecessary confusion in this world when it comes to how to serve God. When it comes down to it, the Bible is meant for everyone to understand, and if we truly trust in God, we'll take every word literally as it's meant to be.
My name is Tamra Means, I am a member of the Church Christ. This was a great lesson! But we can't stop at Just Hearing, Believing and being Being Baptized. God's Plan Of Salvation is for us to Hear the Word: Romans 10:17 Believe(what you hear): Mark 16:15-16 Repent: Acts 17:30 Confess That Jesus Is Lord: Romans 10:9 Be Baptized: (Into Christ Death, Burial and Resurrection) Acts 22:16, 1Peter 3:21, Galatians 3:26-27 Live Faithful Until Death: Revelation 2:10
I am so proud to be in the Church of Christ. Thank you for this message. I see things a whole lot clearer. Praise the mighty name of Jesus. May God continue to Bless you and your ministry.
2nd Thessalonians 2,14: "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours."
I’m a Bible believing baptist and based on my study of church history, rampant heresies abound from all of these little sects that were started in America. Aka JW, church of Christ, Mormons etc.. Based on my understanding, I believe that there are tons of truly saved, born again brothers and sisters throughout all denominations, despite bad doctrine. Church of Christ included.
The problem with your conclusion is that you are accepting the teaching that denominations are not sinful. The Bible...( I Corinthians 1:10-13) clearly restricts denominations or the idea of multiple churches. The Church of Christ is not a sect/ but the Body of Christ.
I am a Christian. this time is the second time I heard this lesson preach by Brother Willie B. Williams. Thank you. If a person don’t understand, They aren’t paying attention. Thank you. Christian love.
Just beginning in listening to the lesson but I would first begin with an answer of identifying the phrase 'church of Christ.' When members of the church of Christ say the church of Christ is the only church going to heaven...in their mind they are only speaking of, or should only be thinking of, just that...the church of/belonging to Christ as found in the N.T. However, what I think we fail to do is not to see the question in the manner of others because they are thinking denominationally. A 'Church of Christ' denomination. So it comes across to them as saying "My denomination is the only denomination among all other denominations that is going to heaven." No, we're saying the church of Christ...and no denomination. One is speaking and thinking Biblically...one is speaking and thinking denominationally. We talk past each other. But we do need to then ask...what is the church of Christ and how is it identified.
Interestingly enough, the Church has multiple designators such Church of God (1 Cor 1:2, 2 Cor 1:1, Gal 1), Church of the First Born, the Way, etc, Church of the Gentiles, not just Church of Christ. But the way many in the COC talk, it definitely sounds like a denomination. So i see why many outside and many in the COC feel the way they do.
Please watch these videos. Then tell me if this man is preaching the truth. (WVBS Where do I Go When I Die?} There are many more, including 'Why Are There So Many Churches?' and 'What Must I Do To Be Saved'. These are from the church of Christ. Just because a man preaches in a building with the Church of Christ written on it, doesn't mean he is preaching the truth. He may not be a bad person, but he is a false preacher. Check out the teaching of the church of Christ that you choose to worship with.

Hell has a duel reference: #1 Hell refers to Gahenna where two sides exist; separated by a great gulf. The name of one side is Paradise/Place of comfort and the other side is Tatarus/Place of torment. So that description of hell refers to the Hadean world...Both places are temporal in length until the final confirmation of all things... #2 Hell's second reference is Sheol/Bottomless pit where the Devil/Saten, his angels, and the unbelievers shall be cast into an everlasting flame, which burneth with fire and brimstone, where the worm dieth not, and the fire not quenched...
Hi Homer, where did you learn this? Why did Jesus say in Luke 16:19-31 that the rich man ‘looked up’ to where Abraham and Lazarus were? This gulf must be vertical and not horizontal - yes? I appreciate you for the time you take to answer my question in advance.

This is for any COC preacher, elder, or member that wants to interpret three verses, if you have the courage. These verses are: Romans 4:15, Romans 5:10, and Romans 5:13.
You have to go back to Romans Chapter 2 in order to understand these verses you picked out. You are taking them out of context. Abraham was before the Mosaic Law but he still was under the Patriarchal Law. As a matter of fact a person needs to read the story of Abraham in Genesis to get an understanding of Romans Chapter 2-5. What you are trying to say is that the Law has been done away with. If you focus on the Romans 5:10 and 5:13 then you would be correct however read on to Chapter 6. Sin still exist which means that a person will still be under a Law. Paul even says this in Chapter 6 because he talks about if we sin more then grace will abound more. He says not to. For more information read Romans Chapter 1 and the list of sins that will cause you not to make Heaven. Is this not Law? It is. And the list is not just for non-Christians but for all.

Hall Let us all know if you visited a church of Christ and praying that you obey the gospel and "Put on Christ" in baptism for the remission of sins and the Lord will add you to His church.
Hal Terrill Please attend a church of Christ they teach the truth on how to be saved. The denominations teach one to say the sinner's prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and this is not in the word of God.
I was raised in the church of christ. O started going a Baptist church. They worship the same God as the people in the church of christ. My dad now tells me that im going hell. And that i am lost. Thats not a very good feeling. But i feel closer to God now then i ever have
Which religion are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many religions are not true according to the Bible, Mathew 7;21-23,1jonh 4:1,Roman's 10:1-3.
Luke 16:23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ Doesn't sound like the rich man and Lazarus were in the same place. Plus, this is a parable told by Jesus to make a point. Seems like this preacher is confusing Hell with Hades.
Right on point here Brother! That scripture is being taken completely out of context! The rich man and Lazarus are NOT in the same place! He’s interpreting hell and hades as one in the same here!!
Sheol, Tartarus, hell, hades etc…. It seems like you’ve missed the point, and as far as men on earth and our knowledge of heavenly things, this description fits the best that I’ve heard. Note that the rich man was able to speak to Abraham through a chasm, they could not cross doesn’t seem like they were too far away from each other. What did Isaac who said his soul would go down to Sheol if he lost his other child besides, just Joseph, who he didn’t know was alive. Notice he said down. And I’m pretty sure he will eventually be going to heaven. And I will assume at my own risk that he’s in paradise currently. God also talks about not being able to hide from him and the sea Hilson leviathan and I’ll find you in the earth and hell if need be I just encourage you to read the entire Bible and I pray that God blesses you with his understanding. In Jesus name amen
We are tomeet around the lord s table on the first day of the week is Sunday. To partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine . The bread represents his broken body and the fruit of the vine that represents his blood that was shed for us.
My wife and I just experienced our conversion to the church of Christ back in May. I grew up in assembly of God in Garland Texas back in the 80's and they preached faith based salvation. They succeed in misguiding me because I never listened to momma when she said to me numerous times, "son don't listen to that preacher up there, we here to worship God and read His Word" I then insisted "but momma he say we just gotta believe in Jesus' death burial and resurrection" to which momma again said "read your Bible!" I never listened, I just cherry picked verses to serve my own desire in cutting folks wrongly. I am just now reading The Divinely Inspired Scriptures from cover to cover, currently in Exodus so this lesson you presenting is new to me. Your congregation seems large from my tiny phone screen so can I ask if y'all share one cup one loaf on our Lord's Day?
Tracy obey God in Christ Jesus i received Christ today i serve Him all the days of my life today in now on use us help .i pray that we continue to you are on thepage
The Church of God is referred to over 15 times in the New Testament. If the Church of Christ is the only church that means everyone who goes to hell is because no one in the Church of Christ witnessed to them. I am not saying the churches that call themselves Church of Christ are bad. I am saying if they say they are the only Church then it is solely their responsibility to help people get saved. And I have yet to find a Church of Christ that has a witness program. By the way, I go to a Church of Christ and have for the past 20 years. I have Baptist friends and Pentecostal friends.Those people during the week while not in church, you hear them praising God, and telling how God has blessed them, and out of all 20 years of going to the Church of Christ, I have yet to hear any of the members even bring up God's name during the week. So we need to search for ourselves and be true to Jesus Christ and not a church.
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry to hear that you are not surrounded around professing Christians. To answer your question: there are many witnessing programs all over the country. We just traveled from the midwest from a program. We did not make up the "ONE CHURCH" Please examine: Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 16:18. The Bible clearly teaches one church. We believe that we should teach what the Bible Teaches. Also we believe that Jesus is God. So the term Church of God is still referring to Jesus. We can not lie to people letting them know any church will do. That is false.
I see a capitalized C for church in front of Christ. Fine for being the beginning of a new sentence but not in the middle. Example; I attend the church of Christ on Maple Drive. That is proper.
Blessings 🙏🏾 How do you explain the same Apostle referring to the assembly as this?: Act 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾, which he hath purchased with his own blood." 1Co 1:2 "Unto the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:" 1Co 10:32 "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾:" 1Co 11:22 "What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the 👉🏾church of God👈🏾, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not." 1Co 15:9 "For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the 👉🏾church of God. 👈🏾" 2Co 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:" Gal 1:13 "For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾, and wasted it:" 1Ti 3:5 "(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the 👉🏾church of God? 👈🏾)"
I thought I back it up throw scriptures Acts 20:28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
I attend a “Church of Christ” but I will not condemn anyone who goes to a particular church until I see how it is organised and what it teaches. Many CoC’s lack proper organisation and doctrine and many churches with a different name have them. You judge each congregation and each person individually.
I believe the conversation is about does the bible even teach multiple churches or does the Bible teach 1 church. Organization and structure is important but is secondary. The acknowledgement that there is only one church is what the video was addressing. Accepting that someone broke the church in many different churches is the falsehood addressed in this video.
It's not about which Church is right. It's about each individual living righteously for Christ. Do you visit those in Prison. Do you feed the hungry? Are you a father to the fatherless? Or do you live for pleasure as the Unsaved world does?
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. I have not received what you have said from the apostles; what I received from them was: Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. I cannot have unity with a group of people who do not believe the same thing unless one of us changes. Let’s say that I change my mind, then we also cannot be unified with God’s word if his word says there is one body (church) and I agree with the statement that it’s not about which church is right. We cannot reconcile your statement unless it changes to agree with what God’s word said. The statement you made cannot be reconciled, so it must be discarded and with it, all of the implications of the notion of such a thing of more than one body (church) existing.
Hades and Hell are two different places. Hades is the same place all go and there is a distinction even before the judgement before heaven or hell. English translations are good...but do not replace the Greek.
Hell is a place, and don't believe otherwise! The Bible tells us that hell is eternal fire. This man needs to read his Bible and ask for wisdom. I pray that he will have a clearer understanding. He needs to read about the rich man again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The hell everyone goes to after death, Luke 16:23, is not eternal fire, it has an expiration date, Revelation 20:14. Eternal fire is just that, eternal, Jude 1:7. It will keep going on and on and on for all eternity, it will never end.
yes, those in Christ, Christ’s church, followers of the Way, the church’s identity, form, and function revealed in the Record - is the one saved by Him. approximations, partial church, and claims are outside of the Text. you want to be that church, you want those promises? get in His church.
No where in Luke does it say both men were in hell. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire."
I heard a church of Christ elder say he doesn’t believe the gospel. 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Do you believe the gospel? Or are you the bad guys in Galations? Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
Even though truth is shared and supported by God's Word, many STILL don't "see." It's my frequent prayer that God opens minds and hearts to hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and remain faithful...serving in His Church...mentioned in the Bible.

This is for any COC preacher, elder, or member that wants to interpret three verses, if you have the courage. These verses are: Romans 4:15, Romans 5:10, and Romans 5:13.
You have to go back to Romans Chapter 2 in order to understand these verses you picked out. You are taking them out of context.
Abraham was before the Mosaic Law but he still was under the Patriarchal Law. As a matter of fact a person needs to read the story of Abraham in Genesis to get an understanding of Romans Chapter 2-5.
What you are trying to say is that the Law has been done away with. If you focus on the Romans 5:10 and 5:13 then you would be correct however read on to Chapter 6.
Sin still exist which means that a person will still be under a Law. Paul even says this in Chapter 6 because he talks about if we sin more then grace will abound more. He says not to.
For more information read Romans Chapter 1 and the list of sins that will cause you not to make Heaven. Is this not Law? It is. And the list is not just for non-Christians but for all.

2 Cor chapter 3
Gal 3:23-29
Gal 5:1-4
Col 2:14
We are not under the law of Moses. We are under a BETTER covenant with BETTER promises= Heb 8:6-13
** Heb 9:16-17** Jesus will came in after death
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
This is the best preaching I’ve heard in years , I’m seriously considering the Church of Christ

Hall Let us all know if you visited a church of Christ and praying that you obey the gospel and "Put on Christ" in baptism for the remission of sins and the Lord will add you to His church.
It’s a great place to go
Hal Terrill Please attend a church of Christ they teach the truth on how to be saved. The denominations teach one to say the sinner's prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and this is not in the word of God.
Thank you for this sermon. It almost made me cry because I realize I have been so selfish. I appreciate your sermon.
I was raised in the church of christ. O started going a Baptist church. They worship the same God as the people in the church of christ. My dad now tells me that im going hell. And that i am lost. Thats not a very good feeling. But i feel closer to God now then i ever have
We need to be taught like this.
Which religion are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many religions are not true according to the Bible, Mathew 7;21-23,1jonh 4:1,Roman's 10:1-3.
Thanks very much for the words
Thank You Bro Williams for this message! Powerful message from God! Much love from, The SugarCreekCOC in Charlotte, NC
Thanks for listening
Luke 16:23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
Doesn't sound like the rich man and Lazarus were in the same place. Plus, this is a parable told by Jesus to make a point.
Seems like this preacher is confusing Hell with Hades.
Right on point here Brother! That scripture is being taken completely out of context! The rich man and Lazarus are NOT in the same place! He’s interpreting hell and hades as one in the same here!!
Sheol, Tartarus, hell, hades etc…. It seems like you’ve missed the point, and as far as men on earth and our knowledge of heavenly things, this description fits the best that I’ve heard. Note that the rich man was able to speak to Abraham through a chasm, they could not cross doesn’t seem like they were too far away from each other. What did Isaac who said his soul would go down to Sheol if he lost his other child besides, just Joseph, who he didn’t know was alive. Notice he said down. And I’m pretty sure he will eventually be going to heaven. And I will assume at my own risk that he’s in paradise currently. God also talks about not being able to hide from him and the sea Hilson leviathan and I’ll find you in the earth and hell if need be I just encourage you to read the entire Bible and I pray that God blesses you with his understanding. In Jesus name amen
Forgive my spelling errors and grammar my phone is not user-friendly for me
Church of Christ my whole life
They call us mental problems, Prayers.
They scare me. Music and Entertainment.
I'm in tears
Hâve a beautiful Sunday
Good sermon
We are tomeet around the lord s table on the first day of the week is Sunday. To partake of the bread and the fruit of the vine . The bread represents his broken body and the fruit of the vine that represents his blood that was shed for us.
My wife and I just experienced our conversion to the church of Christ back in May. I grew up in assembly of God in Garland Texas back in the 80's and they preached faith based salvation. They succeed in misguiding me because I never listened to momma when she said to me numerous times, "son don't listen to that preacher up there, we here to worship God and read His Word" I then insisted "but momma he say we just gotta believe in Jesus' death burial and resurrection" to which momma again said "read your Bible!" I never listened, I just cherry picked verses to serve my own desire in cutting folks wrongly. I am just now reading The Divinely Inspired Scriptures from cover to cover, currently in Exodus so this lesson you presenting is new to me. Your congregation seems large from my tiny phone screen so can I ask if y'all share one cup one loaf on our Lord's Day?
Very helpful Amen
Loving the rest of it. Really well done. Thanks for allowing me to question some of the things. Actually you covered a lot in the end.❤️

Hi I'm brother Felipe cabanos aka Philip San Jose from the Philippines church of Christ non instrumental music
I like the passion
amen my brother
It’s the Church that is of Christ that’s the true church.
Thank you for the gospel massages GOD BLESS YOU BROD!AM A FILIPINO FROM PHILIPPINES MY NAME JULIUS M.SOBERANO
The Church of God is referred to over 15 times in the New Testament. If the Church of Christ is the only church that means everyone who goes to hell is because no one in the Church of Christ
witnessed to them. I am not saying the churches that call themselves Church of Christ are bad. I am saying if they say they are the only Church then it is solely their responsibility to help people get
saved. And I have yet to find a Church of Christ that has a witness program. By the way, I go to a Church of Christ and have for the past 20 years. I have Baptist friends and Pentecostal friends.Those
people during the week while not in church, you hear them praising God, and telling how God has blessed them, and out of all 20 years of going to the Church of Christ, I have yet to hear any of the members even bring up God's name during the week. So we need to search for ourselves and be true to Jesus Christ and not a church.
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry to hear that you are not surrounded around professing Christians. To answer your question: there are many witnessing programs all over the country. We just traveled from the midwest from a program. We did not make up the "ONE CHURCH" Please examine: Ephesians 4:4; I Corinthians 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 16:18.
The Bible clearly teaches one church. We believe that we should teach what the Bible Teaches. Also we believe that Jesus is God. So the term Church of God is still referring to Jesus. We can not lie to people letting them know any church will do. That is false.
Amen, great lesson!
I can not believe what I just heard
I see a capitalized C for church in front of Christ.
Fine for being the beginning of a new sentence but not in the middle.
Example; I attend the church of Christ on Maple Drive. That is proper.
OK
THANK YOU BROTHERN FOR THIS WORD THAT MY SPIRIT TRULY NEEDED 🙏🏽 I LOVE YOU ❤ GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY 🙏🏽
Greetings brothers and sisters
I agree!
The Lords Church. When you build somethings in your name. The Church of Christ. THINK ABOUT IT
Blessings 🙏🏾
How do you explain the same Apostle referring to the assembly as this?:
Act 20:28
"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
1Co 1:2
"Unto the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"
1Co 10:32
"Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾:"
1Co 11:22
"What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the 👉🏾church of God👈🏾, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not."
1Co 15:9
"For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the 👉🏾church of God. 👈🏾"
2Co 1:1
"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:"
Gal 1:13
"For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the 👉🏾church of God 👈🏾, and wasted it:"
1Ti 3:5
"(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the 👉🏾church of God? 👈🏾)"
Amen 🙏🏾 Brother
Love y’all for this! The unadulterated Word of God spoken here. God bless and continue the walk of living sacrifices unto the Lord.
Thank you! You too!
King Tracy I believe Christ Jesus is doing something we are not in a tradition no more God called You holy people minister this here is a new work
Amen❤
I'm reading the comments and still can't understand how people still put their own spin on it. I see many hard headed goats!!!
Church of Christ is the only way going to the kingdom of heaven!!! Church of christ!!! Philippines
So many church denominations because no one rightly divides the word.
Know what you believe and why you believe it.
Great sermon, very helpful 👍
I love pastor Williams. Amen
I thought I back it up throw scriptures
Acts 20:28
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
I attend a “Church of Christ” but I will not condemn anyone who goes to a particular church until I see how it is organised and what it teaches. Many CoC’s lack proper organisation and doctrine and many churches with a different name have them. You judge each congregation and each person individually.
I believe the conversation is about does the bible even teach multiple churches or does the Bible teach 1 church. Organization and structure is important but is secondary. The acknowledgement that there is only one church is what the video was addressing. Accepting that someone broke the church in many different churches is the falsehood addressed in this video.
It's not about which Church is right. It's about each individual living righteously for Christ. Do you visit those in Prison. Do you feed the hungry? Are you a father to the fatherless? Or do you live for pleasure as the Unsaved world does?
Read Galatians 1:8-9. Paul has the ONE true gospel, not Peter and the 11 who taught only Jews.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
I have not received what you have said from the apostles; what I received from them was:
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
I cannot have unity with a group of people who do not believe the same thing unless one of us changes.
Let’s say that I change my mind, then we also cannot be unified with God’s word if his word says there is one body (church) and I agree with the statement that it’s not about which church is right. We cannot reconcile your statement unless it changes to agree with what God’s word said.
The statement you made cannot be reconciled, so it must be discarded and with it, all of the implications of the notion of such a thing of more than one body (church) existing.
Hades and Hell are two different places. Hades is the same place all go and there is a distinction even before the judgement before heaven or hell. English translations are good...but do not replace the Greek.
I wish I could go to the Church of Christ near me but I have no transportation and it’s over 30 miles . I am a Christian , saved and baptized
Praise God!
James 4:8 “ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
email me @ "iwillgo@mail.com "and i will find you transportation .have you called the elders or preacher .?
God planned it that way. Praise God and attend a spirit- filled church near you.
@@jreyas6263Amen!! Absolutely!! Yes!!!
Hell is a place, and don't believe otherwise! The Bible tells us that hell is eternal fire. This man needs to read his Bible and ask for wisdom. I pray that he will have a clearer understanding. He needs to read about the rich man again! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The hell everyone goes to after death, Luke 16:23, is not eternal fire, it has an expiration date, Revelation 20:14. Eternal fire is just that, eternal, Jude 1:7. It will keep going on and on and on for all eternity, it will never end.
yes, those in Christ, Christ’s church, followers of the Way, the church’s identity, form, and function revealed in the Record - is the one saved by Him. approximations, partial church, and claims are outside of the Text. you want to be that church, you want those promises? get in His church.
No where in Luke does it say both men were in hell. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire."
I heard a church of Christ elder say he doesn’t believe the gospel.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Do you believe the gospel? Or are you the bad guys in Galations?
Galatians 1:8
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
