This is the best and most clear sermon I’ve ever heard, Praise the Lord wow✝️
Found this channel months ago. First started with Pastor Tim Conway, then found Pastor Paul Washer. Very great full to seeing and hear sermons that speak truth.
it is indeed a food to our soul because their words are based on the truth of God which is the Bible
every single sermon cuts straight to the soul and convicts u heavily
It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it would be for someone to pass through to heaven with a shred of self-righteousness upon them. - Paul Washer
***** you just answered the question during your very last statement. This is why John wrote 1,2,&3rd letter. His points are, not everyone who proclaim to be a Christian is one. Those who do believe, and has been transformed by God Himself, will live in the light; the truth which brings me to the next point. One of the reasons that Catholic are not considered Christians is because they pray to Mary/rosary as if she is a mediator to God and believes that she plays a role in hearing prayer. Prayer is a major role in the Christian life. There is only One mediator between The Father and man and that is the Son. We as Christians have a direct connection to the Son. They devote their lives to honoring saints including Mary when in actuality, it is our God who is to get all honor and all Glory. All our living and doing should point to God. We exist to give God our all. We were created and made by Him to worship Him. This is how we live.
***** catholicism believes that a man is
1) regenerated by baptism. Therefore, they deny the basic principle of christian conversion
2) that the sacrifice of Christ is not finished and that we merit eternal life by partaking the sacrifice of Christ
3) that Christ is not the only mediator
4) that Salvation is not by Grace alone
5) that we should pray in the name of other name than Jesus-Christ
6) that we should have a special respect for idols
7) that someone needs the sacraments to have the Grace of God
8) that when we eat the elements, it is really the flesh and blood of Christ and it is a God incarnation.
I could go on and on, but the most important thing is that they don't believe in regeneration from the Spirit of God (they say they do, but they really don't). People are not dead in their sins, but are encouraged to die to self by their own efforts.
There's no Gospel at all. It really seems more a pagan religion than the true religion. Their Christ is not Jesus.
Of course there is exceptions, but I don't believe God will keep a true Christian in a prostitute like the Roman Catholic Church.
***** I don't agree with almost all what you said.
I don't consider himself as a Christian as I don't consider Pius as a Christian. We can agree that they professed to be Christians, but by their actions showed no knowledge of Christ. It was nothing more than hypocrisy for more power.
According to Hitler Jesus was not a Jew, but an Arian!?
He also blasphemed so many times the name of our Lord. Did you know he was fascinated by German pagan religions and that he made his Germany with pagan standards?
*What's your point in making all of this?* I'm not going to enter in this kind of arguments because you will never believe me.
Your hatred towards God is evident. God is angry at everyone because of the rebellion of man. Man is trying to justify his actions and he even tries to convince themselves that there is no such thing as a God or that He is not really Holy.
I say to you that you should tremble because the wrath of God is upon you and that you are in a terrible danger. If you do not accept the testimony of Christ, you will have the fullness of what you deserve.
But God is giving you time to change your mind and trust in what He says. He is blessing you everyday so that you may have life and be safe. He is even watching on you. You will either be more hardened or you will come empty to Him.
Pray God that He will saves you. He will give you Grace if you ask. Isn't easy? Just ask the God who knows all thing, even hearts, so that you may see the Light.
He is Gracious. He saved me when I was a religious hypocrite. I consider myself as the chief of sinners, but He saved me and showed me I was nothing. God provided a way to escape the great judgement coming. You must grasp the promises He gave you. He really did promise you. You just have to come as you are.
It may seems silly (it was even more for me), but God is Love.
***** I'm sorry but I don't remember to have used crude words.
What are you seeking?
***** sorry, English is not my primary language. What do you want?
SMILE LIKE YOU HAVE JOY BRO PAUL
This is some heavy-duty preaching / teaching .
Its not. We carrie too much weight from our sins, our self way of life and so on. Jesus on the other hand calls us to be light, to be free of all this and to be happy on the work HE had made. The sin infect us in every way possible, even our minds, so it appear to us that is heavy to follow Him, but... Its not!
I truly enjoyed this word from God through his manservant.
Wow this was incredibly profound. I was blind to a lot of this
Thankyou Lord and Thankyou Pastor Paul... 🥹🥹
2 Cor 13:5 Examine yourself whether you be in the faith...
Thankyou Pastor for the word of God 🙏🙏
Love to you all brothers and sisters , Love to all people's
If I desire to walk in truth then I’m not offended by it. It’s only when I want to walk after my flesh or be controlled by it or in control of my own life am I offended. If ever I’m offended at the truth, the Holy Spirit lets me know it so that I’m not deceived. It’s the truth that makes us free; if I want to be truly free then I mustn’t reject the truth. Thank God for men who speak the truth to their own hurt and shame. That’s what I call humble.
Thank you for sharing this really spoke to me. I’m grateful for the truth of His word that transforms us into the likeness of Jesus Christ
Beautiful ❤ these words are poetry and sweet to my ears
Beautiful
My sheep hear my voice and know my voice.. ❤
I wish the clothing was the same as it was in Biblical times, instead of mini skirts and short shorts everyone had to wear robes😂 that would be awesome
I feel you
I think there are prophecies that revival will come and people will cloth themselves accordingly that this wearing revealing clothes season will be over.
@@seventhunder8482 yeah, I highly doubt that , society will only get more and more depraved
Romans 1 says so, they all reject the truth therefore God gives them over to depraved minds
Just look at the LGBTQ movement, its rampant and the perversion reaches a new level each year
Thank God.
Actually, some of us in America do have to do without due to unforseen circumstances.
🙌
Yes, you are correct pastor but at the same time the Lord God Almighty Jesus said to do his commandments....if you love me, keep the commandments.
The other thing is that the people who have repented from all of their sins. The true believer must stay away from doing evil. Because the word of the Lord God Almighty Jesus says that we must grow and we do not go back to do evil deeds, never again, no matter what.
The genuine believer is not suppose to kill, steal, lie, falsely accuse others, and so many other things that the Lord God Almighty Jesus says that he HATES in his word.
True, but no man is without sin. We must have faith that He will help us to do right in His eyes. No man can get to heaven by his works.
the commandments is old testament if your living in the old testament then you need to understand god gave his only son to die for you so know you live for the cross not by the stones i urge you to study more your salvation is important
no one is without sin, but its our attitude towards sin and frequency and severity of sin that will change
we will hate sin, be immediately convicted of it when we do sin, sin less and not commit grievous severe sins like adultery, murder, fornication etc
@@brandonthompson7166yet who said no liar, no blasphemer ….. will enter the kingdom? You still obey the commandments. They are not your salvation now they are your moral law to reveal sin
Faith is the Words of Christ and God, the way we hold to these Words we call " faith ".Romans 10 : 17.
Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and also so that he could send the Holy Spirit who is able to give us a new heart so that we can follow God's laws and live by them.
This is the new covenant.
This is how he fulfilled the law, because we have to follow his laws to be able to enter his kingdom. Christians who have not been converted to righteousness by the Holy Spirit are still under the law, meaning they are trying to overcome their sins by their own strength.
Without the Holy Spirit in them, they are still under the law, and they will be judged by the law since they were not born again and they didn't recieve salvation. They will be judged and required to pay the full penalty that the law requires which is death..
Obedience is required to enter God's kingdom. Most Christian churches teach a false doctrine that obedience is not possible. Believers in this false doctrine cannot be saved because of their denial and unbelief in the power of God. Most christian churches today preach a false doctrine that it is impossible to stop sinning. They have rejected any notion of the freedom from sin that is available through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, they have rejected the New Covenant, and in turn, they will be rejected by God. The free gift is not given to everyone who asks for it. It is only given to those who believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to free us from the bondage of sin itself. God's grace frees us from sin. It does not free us to sin only without a penalty. That is not why Jesus died on the cross. He came to make us clean, not leave us dirty.
1 John 2:4 tells us:
"He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
False churches teach that there is no remedy for the flesh nature. They underestimate God's power. They have no faith in his ability to deliver them. They choose to put all of their heart into believing that that they get to have God and that they get to keep their sins too.
This is a deadly deception that appeals to lukewarm Christians. It has been embraced by the whole world. No one who believes this false gospel will recieve salvation.
We fallow God’s Laws because we love Him, but the “ability to enter the Kingdom of God” comes solely from the blood of Christ when we accept being born again, John 3:3, 5.
When we come under Christ we are no longer under the judgment of the Law,
Galatians 3: 24,25
“ the law ‘WAS’ our schoolmaster, now we’re justified by faith.
Now! We fallow the Law freely out of love for our Father.
The Law is not for the righteous or (the Just), but for the lawless or (the lost) 1 Tim 1:9
The Law merely reveals sin Rom 7:7
God bless brother!
I see, and agree with what you’re saying. I think that’s definitely a false convert, and you’re right that is a dangerous place to be!
Thinking they’re in the faith when they’re not!
Back everything with scripture brother 👍🏼
The bible says if you say you have no sin you are a liar and the truth is not in you. You have broken and still break the commandment to love God with all your heart ,mind ,soul and strength. Only Jesus was able to love God as much as He deserves. So you are sinning.
The Lord God Almighty Jesus does say in his word that those who are his children will do all his commandments and will HATE evil. The children of the Lord God Almighty Jesus, the most High God who lives for ever and ever. He says that his children will stay away from evil and from telling lies, falsely accuse others, stealing money from others, killing, and so many other evil deeds (actions.)
The devil's children are those who continue to do evil towards others by killing, stealing, corrupt, telling lies, falsely accusing others, and many other things that the Lord God Almighty Jesus HATES. This is written in his Word and he says that if we love him, we will hate what he hates.
Right but Jesus only gave 2 commandments - love god and love others as ur self - Jesus said if we do that we fulfill all commmadments given ever
@@ipt3000 Go then forth, and make disciples of all nations, ...
Couldn't agree with you there ... more than I currently do. Amen to all that. Know ye not that by being a friend of the world, you are making yourself an enemy of God. You cannot say you love your wife, and then be friends with people that hate het, same goes here, you can't be friends with the world and claim to love Christ
@@mrredcrafter8587 I got to be honest I had my first experience with God as a very young child before I ever learned about the Bible or any of this nonsense, and I fell in love with Jesus, because I actually read what Jesus himself wrote. I don’t know what happened. I am not a theologian, but it does not take a 10 year old to be able to read the Bible and say look - a lot of things that are written by the “disciples” and what Jesus wrote are two different things and if you can’t understand that, I don’t know what to say to you. Jesus is the person I want to follow ! Jesus! and if I just focus on all of the things attributed to what he himself said and wrote , and I do that, I am busy enough and I don’t need to know anything else literally nothing else and that may seem very heathen to you that is probably going to go against what you’ve been raised to believe your whole life and perhaps that’s because you learned everything from a church and so it’s very hard for you to think outside of that but I know for myself I don’t like going outside of what Jesus himself said, and where there’s agreement from the other writers in the Bible, then great but we’re there is not agreement. I just ignore the things that don’t agree with what Jesus said because Jesus said it and God is not going to tell us to contradictory things. For me this is just using common sense and honestly the more I research the situation the more I realize is that a lot of stuff got changed between the time of Christ in the land of Christ and then, it found itself to Rome and so honestly I’m just way more interested in early Christian beliefs which is essentially early messianic Jewish beliefs. And also as to the Bible that I like to use, I like to use the Bible from the land of Christ not the Bible from the land of Europe and I’m sorry when you have realities, such as the word for hell doesn’t even exist in Aramaic, the language Jesus himself spoke well we’ve got some problems. As far as I’m concerned, Europe made a mess of Christianity and I can easily be seen because who can be said to be living a life like Christ that called them selves a Christian they are more people living a life like Christ, who don’t even clean Christianity and maybe that’s why the Bible also says many will call me. A mini are going to be refused because God’s gonna be like I don’t know what the heck you think but you clearly didn’t read what I wrote!
@@mrredcrafter8587 also asked to Christ, telling us to make disciples. It actually says as you go, make disciples of all nations meaning as you’re living your life, make disciples, and what did Jesus say the manner that you did that was? He said by actually living the example like he told you to live and how did he tell you to live? well Christ is quoted as saying that you will know my followers because they love others! that’s what he said! !!!! anyone saying something different is clearly not him and therefore not something I need to be listening to nor does anyone else who wants to follow Christ need to be listen to anyone else except for Christ himself. The problem is people like to have all this junk. They don’t like what is simple ! Jesus was extremely simple which is why he didn’t need 2000 pages to write his ideas.
I like the message but he constantly contradicts himself of fear
How is he contradicting himself?
He doesn't contradict himself. You just don't understand
Let’s all believe , talking animals, people walking on water, sticks turning into snakes, wizards, witches, demons, rising from the dead, food falling from the sky, dinosaurs coexisting with man, all sorts of absurd primitive stories
I think you should. Would certainly be wise to get to know Jesus. You’re definitely gonna see him one day.
@@patrickstephens1203 Noooo
You scoff, but greater than all this- Our Lord Jesus dying for our sins and arising after 3 days to ascend to His Father! But ask yourself, where am I going when I die?!
@@joyceburns2613 Fairytales man made god , l will be going same as you nowhere
Maybe we just will, thanks for the advise man.😂😂
O and by the way, the Bible never mention dinosaurs.
Calvanism is false, you guys dont even know if you are saved or not due to fruit inspection. The gospel is very simple, Jesus died for your sins was buried and rose again the third day. If you believe you have eternal life as a result then you have it. Salvation is by grace through faith. "In whom after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy spirit of promise." "By grace you have been saved through faith, AND NOT THAT OF YOURSELVES it is a GIFT of God. Not of works lest any man should boast." Works is human effort of any kind, read the book of John. Jesus clearly gives the criteria for Salvation (unless you think he was lying), "he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life" stop being a work salvationist. "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith of Jesus christ."
he is not a works salvationist, if you read the Bible you would know that
James 2:14-26
@tomtemple69 if you believe you have to do something other than trust christ and what he did alone (paying our sin debt) for eternal life, then you are a work salvationist because you can't add anything to grace or it isn't grace anymore (Romans 11:6.) I actually have read the Bible many times which is how I'm able to divide the word correctly and not take things out of context. If you want an example of correct context, how about the fact that John's gospel was written with the expressed purpose of saving the lost (see john 21: 30-31) and yet works aren't mentioned a single time for Salvation. Instead, john tells us 99 times (not a small number) how to be saved, which is to "believe on the son." You either believe christ did it all for you or you believe you have something to contribute, and the latter idea will send you to hell. James (like all Paul's letters) are written to already saved believers, which is why he is instructing them not to be lazy and work for the lord. It's written to exhort readers to serve the lord, not an instruction manual on how to be saved, that's what John's gospel is for.
@@jsam1997when did i ever say u had to do something other than have faith? faith alone but that faith is not alone
the faith saves, the faith produces works
if the faith is saving faith, that faith will as a result of regeneration and salvation, produce good works
the Holy Spirit compels us to do good works
@tomtemple69 glad I made the comment about trusting christ with nothing added, as I see unfortunately you clearly don't. Your another confused calvanist who thinks works prove salvation. Tell me, where in Scripture do you find this notion because as far as I can tell it's a complete man-made concept. To give just one example of what I mean (since I don't want to make this too long), the church in corinth. Paul says the Christians in corinth are "carnal" and "sold unto sin," he also says reminds these same Christians that are "carnal" and "sold unto sin" that they will "judge angels" and "judge the world." How is your theology constant with Paul's? If you notice paul is trying to get these eternally saved believers to act according to their new status in Christ. If what you say us true, half of everything Paul told the corinthians wouldn't be written because they would just "act correctly" because the holy spirit is in them. If you apply this same mentality to every book Paul wrote then you clearly run into a problem, since at least 70% of everything Paul writes are exhortations and corrections to the church. For example, ephesians 4:1 "walk worthy of the calling by which you have been called" why does Paul need to say this, they have the holy spirit right?
How about, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:31-32. Why does he need to say this, they have the holy spirit right?
Or maybe," Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4
Again, redundant (according to you) these are just a few exhortations from Paul to the church that makes no sense to write down if the "holy spirit just compels you to do good works." Not how that works buddy, changes to your life occur via something called "progressive sanctification." Which is your own self effort in submitting to the holy spirit, growing in grace and growing in biblical maturity. Not an automatic change just because you have the holy spirit, or else Paul had no reason to write half of what he wrote.
@@jsam1997 im not a calvinist, nice false assumption u made there, did u even watch the video at all? or do u just make comments about your opinions because you think only you're correct? you seem to think God is weak and can only work if humans allow Him too, what kind of god do you serve? My God replaces the heart of stone with a heart of flesh, He turns sinful men into a new creature, the old things have passed away
you only read and believe the out of context verses that support your view point so you can justify living in sin and being the same after salvation as you were before it, you're trying to make excuses as to why there seems to be no change after you have supposedly been saved
i hope you're ready on the last day to give an explanation to God, not everyone who says "Lord Lord" will enter on the last day
"depart from Me you who practice lawlessness"
sounds a lot like He's talking about the "carnal Christians" doesn't it? that's something for u to think about, God sees that I warned you, if you don't listen to what the Bible says, your blood isn't on my hands 🤷🤷
