2 Timothy 2:15 rightly dividing the word of truth read your bible the way it's supposed to be read if you don't you will come up with wrong doctrine and contradictions so you have to rightly divide!!!
Hey! Can we all agree to tell the lost that they must believe on Jesus as their redeemer or they will die and spend eternity in hell because of their unbelief? We need to be saved that God is going to judge sin and only Christ’s blood and faith in him dying for us will cover our sins and wash them away before God? Good grief! Witness the gospel! He is coming back like He said and time is short!
CT, yes, we should spread the gospel message. Of course we should. But then what happens when the person goes and starts reading the scriptures after they are saved, and finds dozens of contradictions? The deeper they go, the more confused they will be. If they never hear anyone explain it properly, it can shake their faith and cause them to even leave the faith. These discussions are absolutely critical and must take place. Your assertion that it's a waste of time to go deep into the word of God and study it, is unhelpful at best, and at worst it's an attempt from the devil to prevent Christians from taking their faith more serious and going deeper into the word.
Is Paul OUR apostle? Yes. He is THE apostle of (belonging to) the Gentiles Romans 11:13. Was God dealing mankind as a NATION in time past and today is dealing with mankind INDIVIDUALLY? Yes Ephesians 2:11-13. I thank God that He led me to the so-called grace movement teachings as I was an unsaved Christian for my entire life. Through "right division" teachings I was presented the gospel for the first time in my life. However, after spending time in "grace circles" and studying scriptures I found myself in just another denominational group. While I agree with much of what is taught, there is much I believe scripture proves to be correct over right division dogma. For one, the most important message we are to present to the world today is our ministry of reconciliation as outlined in II Corinthians 5.... 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit [that is to say], that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ***According to Paul, God has reconciled (being no longer at enmity) the world (comprised of unbelievers and believers alike) and he is NOT IMPUTING (keeping a record;holding to one's account) THEIR SINS AGAINST THEM. And He has committed this word (or message) of reconciliation unto us (believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ). 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ***We are to be ambassadors for Christ with this message (of reconciliation) and we are urged by Christ to tell the unbelieving world that they were reconciled to God by the death of His Son (ROMANS 5:10) WHEN THEY WERE YET ENEMIES...2000 Years ago! And God is reconciled in HIS MIND so the unbeliever is urged to be reconciled in THEIR MIND (COL 1:21). 21 For he [God the Father] hath (past tense; has already) made him [Jesus Christ the Son] to be sin for us , who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Jesus Christ paid the penalty 2000 years ago and as a result of His resurrection, He removed sin (as far as judgement) from the world. Sin at one time separated Man from God but not since Calvary. Sin does not stand between Man and God. How could it when Jesus Christ paid the penalty. The only thing separating Man from God today is their unbelief in what the SON did with their SIN. Sin will send no one to hell for that penalty was paid by Jesus Christ (ROM 6:23). Their unbelief in the one that DIED FOR THEIR SINS is what will keep man from spending eternity in the heavenly places with the Lord. This is the most important message we are to preach today. God did not tell us to be ambassadors for Christ with the message of right division. We are to preach the message of reconciliation. More time is spent in right division circles gaining knowledge (often times arguing) about when the body of Christ started, what did Peter know and when did he know it, was Cornelius in the Body, etc. Knowledge puffeth up but charity (agape love) edifieth (I COR 8:1). And when one questions many of the dogmatic, proverbial "line in the sand" divisions made by so-called grace Pastors, then they are often "marked and avoided"; a scripture so abused by so-called Grace Believers (and I do call myself a grace believer) that they end up being the least gracious of all. I will close on this note. I never could have this scripture explained to me by anyone in the grace movement. Let me preface with this; we are taught that Paul's mystery was nowhere to be found in OT scripture or the four gospel accounts. It is an entirely new message. And that he alone was given the message (which scripture agrees with) and taught this message only to his followers and is a different message taught by the authors of the Hebrew epistles (which is not true according to scripture). Please explain..... Read Acts 26. Paul is explaining to King Agrippa about his ministry.... Verse 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: SAYING NONE OTHER THINGS THAN THOSE WHICH THE PROPHETS AND MOSES DID SAY SHOULD COME. You could spend 20 minutes trying to explain what Paul meant here (as many do with the II Corinthians 5 ministry of reconciliation passage) or you can take the 5 seconds to read it and let God tell you what He means. Paul preached/taught/said nothing other than what the OT prophets and Moses said would come. He is right in line with what they said. He is not teaching anything different. Paul used the OT scriptures to show what was accomplished by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These things were hidden in the scriptures by God and when God was ready He made these truths revealed through the apostle Paul. We see the gospel in the garden in Eden when Adam tried to appear righteous before God by sewing fig leaves. But God clothed them is the sacrifice of an animal....Could Paul not use this type and shadow of Jesus Christ's sacrifice at Calvary to explain the gospel and the reality of reconciliation? Could he not use Genesis 12 to show that the promise made to Abraham was a type and shadow of Jesus Christ and the creation of the Body of Christ? In fact, that's what Paul does say in Galatians 3 when he says the gospel was preached unto Abraham saying in thee shall all nations be blessed. Of course Abraham would not have understood what was going on. No one did for had the world known about this great secret/mystery, then the princes of this world never would have crucified the Lord (I COR 2:8). So Paul's gospel was found throughout scripture...that is what he was saying. It was all right there in front of them and he never taught anything that OT prophets or Moses taught...he just made manifest the truth that was in those scriptures. God kept it hidden until He revealed it to Paul...and then Paul revealed it to the the world (and the 12) in his writings. Think about it; would Paul have ever gotten anywhere with Jews if he taught OUTSIDE of the OT scriptures? Of course not. Paul's gospel was right in front of them...he just showed them where it was. Remember when 3D Stereograms were all the rage? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram#/media/File:Stereogram_Tut_Random_Dot_Shark.png You could look at that image and just see a bunch of colorful dots. You could hang it up in your office and that is all you ever see. If I came along and told you HOW to look at it differently, and you suddenly saw the 3D image pop out at you, then you would now have a different understanding of that poster. The image was there all along...you just didn't know HOW to look at it. The same with Paul's gospel. Jesus Christ revealed to Paul what was meant by the OT scriptures (the revealing of the mystery), and now we know that we can find the gospel in every book of the bible. That is the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery (Romans 16:25).
John Hampton King Agrippa was Jewish and knew the law and the prophets. Paul is trying to convince King Agrippa that Jesus IS The Christ which Paul preached early on in his ministry. That was all Paul “knew” at the beginning. Paul learned more and more about grace through faith as he goes along. When Paul is talking to King Agrippa, a Jew, Paul is just trying to convince Agrippa that Jesus is The Christ. Here Paul recalls his early years of his ministry. Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. Paul was preaching all that he “knew” early on. Paul gains more and more about grace by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is a “transition” period going on in the book of Acts from Law to Grace, just like Paul transitioned from Law to Grace, too! Paul’s Gospel was not in the OT or The prophets. Paul’s Gospel of Grace by faith 1 Cor 15:1-4 was only made “known” to Paul.
Read Acts 3 v 20 and 21. The read Romans 16 v 25 Peter Jesus Christ was preached to what God had spoken since the world began Paul Preached Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began. One message was spoken since the world began One message was kept secret since the world began. How can one message that was spoken be the same as the one kept secret? If the message spoken is the the same as the message kept secret then the message kept secret since time began is no longer a secret Two different messages to two different people groups Isreal Gentiles
@@johnhampton353 I agree with Ricko....there are two different Gospels...not one Gospel taught to two different groups. If that was so...why was Paul an Apostle? Why didn't Peter and the rest of the 12 preach salvation by grace through faith? Because their message and Gospel were only for Israel. Paul was given a completely different Gospel by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Just because you used to be a mid-acts dispensationalist, and now you are not, does not mean you are now right and they are wrong. It could mean that you have just allowed other ideas to confuse you, just like you were confused perhaps for years before you discovered how to rightly divide. Also, you attempt to demean how mid-acts dispensationalist tend to take their Bible study very seriously, and often discuss all of the contradictions between the words of jesus, james, peter, John, and Paul. You say this as if these contradictions are a minor thing that don't require very serious and constant discussion to anyone who is serious about understanding God's word and growing in the faith, free of confusion and double mindedness. But keep in mind that there are many new people out there who have never even heard of rightly dividing, who are extremely confused about all these contradictions in the Bible. There are millions of people who have perhaps gotten to the point of such frustration that they have left the faith because of this confusion. I'm one of them, and I thank God that my eyes have been opened to how to read the Bible in a way that makes sense. I treasure every second of teaching in these matters. Perhaps when some years go by and I have a deeper understanding, I won't need to spend as much time in these discussions. But when that time comes, I sure hope I don't look back and disparage others who are still engaged in these crucial discussions, just because I have outgrown them. I hope I never outgrow them, because then I could open myself up to confusion just as it seems you have done. You are once again confusing the different messages in the different dispensations. I understand there are some passages that are difficult and challenging. But I would propose that you are the one that needs to read them and ask God to explain them to you in a way that it makes sense, rather than try to marry to completely different statements and messages to two completely different groups. That just leads to confusion, frustration, and ultimately makes you double minded and questioning your faith. God bless
"Rightly Dividing" the differences between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai (Heb. 12:18), and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary (Heb. 12:22-24). (See also 2 Cor. 3:6-8) What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below. New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24. 1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those in the New Covenant. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

This was an excellent video and helps clarify so many things. Do you happen to have a video that shows the different attributes of the apostles doctrinal dispensation and Paul’s dispensation of Grace? I know there are other dispensations but I think that that helps clear up so many things to be able to see the differences between the two and you touched on many of those today. Thank you so much and God bless, brother.
Thank you for the kind words! I don't believe I have a video specifically addressing the dispensational differences. That may be a good idea for a future lesson.
This doctrine takes away repentance, takes away the words of Christ, takes away the gospel of Christ, takes away the kingdom of God, takes away baptism for the remission of sin, and makes the words of Paul more authoritative than the words of Jesus. This false doctrine takes away large portions of the bible. This false doctrine does not know the difference between a gentile and a Jew in the bible. Stay away from this false doctrine.
Galatians 1 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹ Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) … ¹¹ But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. ¹² For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Do You believe that God has the power to transform you through the Holy Spirit, giving you a new heart and new mind to turn away from your former life of sin and death? Or do you believe it doesn't matter if we sin because of what was done on the cross and we are now under Grace?
That is a great question! Apostle Paul dealt with the same question in Romans 3:8 & 6:15. The Holy Spirit does indeed have the power to transform us but that can be hindered greatly if we don't have the truth about grace and law. Sin is always destructive and will lead us into a life at odds with God's purpose if left unrestrained. However, the beauty of grace is that sin no longer can control our destiny. If we have fully trusted Christ for our salvation, then we WILL go to heaven, but we do have the judgment seat of Christ to look forward to. This is not to judge our sin but to judge our service, which is impacted in a negative way when we live a life of unrestrained sin. Sin DOES matter but not for salvation. Too many Christians only seem to care about the minimum requirement for salvation, so they can continue with their sin or lifestyle. The Christian's reward is an eternal thing also that should be taken seriously!
Phil Beery I agree, Grace isn't excuse to remain in sin, nor are keeping the commandments of Christ included as a pre-requirement for salvation. However post salvation, once we have received the Holy Spirit he will convict us of our sins (in my experience) gently over time and lead us into repentance and a deepening of our Faith in our Lord and Saviour, bring us into a closer relationship with God the father. As Jesus said in (John 14:15) if we love him our faith will be evident by the fruit of our faith. This is not a matter of earning salvation through merit of works, but a heart condition towards God our Father in heaven. If it doesn't not lead to a lifestyle change then as its put in (James 2:17) then our faith is dead and we believe in vein. As we grow in faith we become more aware of our short comings of Christ, but because we are saved due to the fulfilment of what Jesus did on the Cross, we have the Grace of God to approach God boldly and keep moving forward in this spiritual race without falling into condemnation, sin and death. (Rom 5:20) however I urge my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, don't be lazy, don't slack off, but run the good race, enduring to the end in our Faith in Jesus Christ. (James 1:12) (2 Tim 4:7) God bless, and peace and joy that is our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. May the spirit of truth always guide you. Amen.
@@timbetteridge6078Amen! What a dangerous doctrine so many believe, not even founded by scripture. Paul talks about "holding faith, and a good conscience" (1 Timothy 1:19) and then warns believers of an unrestrained lifestyle of sin leading to a "seared conscience" (1 Timothy 4:2) which if left unchecked will lead to God giving you over to a "debassed mind" (Romans 1:28-32). The Holy Spirit is solely responsible to "guide us into all truth" (John 16:13), it seems people don't understand John 16:8, "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" And as a result believe the Holy Spirit is doing allot more than he was sent to do and not giving glory to God's establishment of the conscience in all of humanity.
It’s funny how people relate a verse which says rightly divide the Bible as cult Rightly divide your Bible does not change the fact Christ is our Lord and savior Just the approach to help us understand the Bible better and easier Bible isn’t for theologist ( never was ) but somehow it’s made into one by people like one Bible is written for us not simply to us, so anyone with the least bit of literal understanding can undertake and receive the truth
Yes, that is correct. The thief WAS saved by faith, but the message (gospel) that he believed was different from the message that Paul taught. Prior to the revelation of the mystery, the preaching of the cross was unknown, even by the twelve apostles (Luke 18:31-34).
@@biblestudywithphilbeery6842 Israel was looking for Messiah. Those of Israel who accepted Him were true Israel those who did not were and are not. Where those in disbelief were broken off, we as gentile believers were grafted in. The law was never to save. Faith in God was. I believe a debate on the pre 70th week rapture being false would solidify the error of the hyper dispensational view that "rightly dividing" holds.
Amen Sarah, that is the truth. You don't have anything but grace to rely on in any age. The truth is that Jesus didn't talked openly about the cross. However it was the mean of salvation and a plan established before beginning of world. Gospel is the message how one can be saved and enter the kingdom! Jesus said to Nicodemus that He shall be raised up as brass serpent in desert, he said that He came so none who believe in him will not perish. John the Baptist also recognised that Jesus is the LAMB who takes the sins of the world. What is the last words on Paul in Acts? "Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him. 31Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ."
@@christskingdom8950 You are incorrect we were not grafted in. That scripture is not talking about gentiles / body of Christ. No need for the body of Christ to be grafted into Christ.
Jesus Is Alpha Omega:Read all of Romans 11. Don’t tell me rightly dividing has “rightly divided” Romans right out of the message to the Church too! 🤮 This false doctrine is all predicated on the false doctrine of the pre Trib rapture! Don’t worry, your gonna find out soon enough this teaching is false. Enjoy yourself until then.
Though I agree with a lot of the rightly dividing teaching there are issues. One is; 2 Thes 2. All pre tribbers KILL this passage. There is NO gymnastics that can yield a pre man of sin rapture. That cause all kinds of issues with the "nearness" of the “grace” dispensation.
This is a valid question! I do strongly support the KJV of the Bible, and it matters in this passage. This deserves much more input than I can provide in this reply but I'll offer a condensed explanation. The main issue is with our definition of the "day of Christ". Many define it as the rapture, so that leaves us with a rapture that cannot happen until after the man of sin is revealed. A study on the "day of Christ" is needed, but I would offer that it is when: Christ begins to actively take ownership of all that is His, sits in judgment, & avenges evil. This covers a time frame with several different, significant events, and involving different people groups. So, when we are caught up (rapture) that begins the "day of Christ" for us. That is when Christ will sit in judgment (judgment seat of Christ) over the body of Christ to offer reward. He will then expel Satan and the evil angels out of heaven. Then HALFWAY through the tribulation, Christ will begin to judge the world of unbelievers with wrath and vengeance ON THE EARTH. The "day of Christ" will COME (II Thess. 2:3) to earth mid-way through the tribulation. Conclusion: The "day of Christ" is not the rapture. The "day of Christ" will COME (to earth) after the "man of sin" is revealed, mid-way through the 7-year tribulation. This passage is not about WHEN the "day of Christ" begins, but about WHEN it comes to earth. Hope this helps! Grace & Peace
If the dead in Christ rise first then the first resurrection doesn't take place until Revelation chapter 20:4-6 This is another big problem for pretribulationalism or even the post-trib/Pre-wrath view. How about just taking Christ at his word when he said that the resurrection of the saints will occur on the LAST DAY?John 6:39,40,44,54.All these charts and hermeneutical gymnastics simply have to be imposed onto the word of God. The Bible teaches us a post-trib rapture 2nd Thessalonians 1:7-10 but not a seven year tribulation. Nowhere in the entire Bible can you find where the seven year tribulation or a rapture prior to it.
@@owensterry29 so if Rev 20 is the “1st resurrection” what resurrection did Jesus partake and what about the Matt 27 resurrection of “many people?” As you stated, let the Bible speak. When you do, it screams that the 1st resurrection encompasses more than 1 event. Revelation 20 is distinguishing between the resurrection of life and the resurrection of death and that you really want to partake of the 1st one.
@@owensterry29 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Respectfully/humbly, in hope of edification…the resurrection(s) issue seems to be a bit more complex than that. For example, regarding the following verses of scripture in Matthew 27, do they fulfill some of the Old Testament prophecy (Isaiah 26:19, Ezekiel 37 KJV) and Christ’s prophecy in John 5:25 KJV (as the scripture states that the graves were opened, but the bodies of the saints which slept arose after Christ’s resurrection) or were those risen saints pledges of the future resurrection and the coming kingdom or both or is something else going on? “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Matthew 27:51-53 KJV Further, as scripture does not mention these ‘…many bodies of the saints which slept arose…’ after that and says they ‘…went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.’, and given Mark 16:19, Luke 24:50-51, Acts 1:9-11, & 1 Timothy 6:16 KJV…were these saints raised bodily (after Christ’s resurrection) and then died again later (until the general resurrection) or were they ‘caught up’? I am conflicted on this between 1 Timothy 6:16 KJV - “Who [our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords] only hath immortality dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, no can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” …and… Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV - “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” According to this scripture, many bodies of the saints which slept have already risen after Christ’s resurrection (as Christ, the Prince of Life, the First and the Last, was/is the first-born/first-fruits from the dead - Colossians 1:18, Acts 26:23, 1 Corinthians 15:20, Revelation 1:5). Matthew 27:52-53 could also be the fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy in John 5:25…being distinguished from the general resurrection prophesied in Matthew 27:28-29. We also have Ephesians 4:8 and Colossians 2:15. 1 Corinthians 15 also informs about the resurrection. However, all of that said…I do not think the point of contention for rapture proponents is the general resurrection. Revelation 19 describes the marriage of the Lamb has come in heaven and His wife/bride arrayed in fine linen seem to already be there and announcement of the marriage supper of the Lamb prior to Christ returning to the earth. Revelation 20:5-6 mention the “first resurrection”…which seems to indicate, along with potentially Matthew 27:52-53, at least more than one resurrection. In Luke 16:19-31 KJV - there was either ‘Abraham’s bosom’ or ‘hell’. 2 Corinthians 5 KJV - informs how believers [souls & spirits] in Christ are present with the Lord when absent from the body. Ecclesiastes 12:7 KJV “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.” Revelation clearly shows only 2 potential outcomes for people during the ‘tribulation’. Among other scriptures describing physical death, I do not see any mention of ‘soul sleep’ or ‘annihilation’ in scripture. Enoch (Genesis 5:24 & Hebrews 11:5) and Elijah (2 Kings 2:11)…both did not experience physical death/were ‘caught up’ and Christ (during His earthly ministry/before His death, burial, & resurrection according to the scriptures - 1 Corinthians 15 and ascension up to heaven, where He is now, until He returns) speaking with Elijah & Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5-6) at the mount of transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9). 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV seems to describe a rapture and correlate to 1 Corinthians 15:47-56 KJV & John 14:2-3 KJV & 1 Thessalonians 5:1-17. This seems to be a prior event to what is described in Hebrews - Revelation…the kingdom. Ephesians 4:30 KJV states, “the day of redemption.” and Romans 8:23-25 KJV states, “…waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” 2 Thessalonians 2 describes our gathering together unto him [our Lord Jesus Christ]… and “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” --- Regarding John 6:39-40, etc. (“…all which he [the Father] hath given me…”)….we must also consider the beginning of a transition in John 12, specifically John 12:32 - “And I, if I [Christ] be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”, etc. I probably need to edit this later to make it flow better, organize, add some or elaborate on the already cited scriptural references, and make it more coherent + possibly correct some things as I am running on fumes for now…but wanted to present a few items for consideration until I get a chance to revise/organize. All the best. God be with you and love in Christ always!
PRAISE MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST FOREVER AMEN ITS SO SIMPLE JESUS CHOSE THE 12 FOR ISRAEL'S KINGDOM GOSPELS AND THE LORD CHOSE OUR APOSTLE PAUL FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST WHY DO MEN ARGUE WITH HOW THE LORD CHOSE TO DO THIS AMEN I FOLLOW CHRIST THROUGH PAUL I DONT FOLLOW THE 12 OR PETER THATS NOT MY GOSPEL THATS ISRAEL'S PROGRAM LAW TAKE PAUL AWAY AND WE HAVE NO SALVATION AND SATAN LOVES THIS ,HE CANT STAND HE LOST THE EARTH WHEN JESUS' CAME ,HE LOST THE HEAVENS TO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THATS WHAT THE MYSTERY IS ALL ABOUT THE LORD HAVE ALWAYS CALLED MEN TO DISPENSE HIS PROGRAM AMEN ONE GOD ONE LORD ONE SAVIOUR AND THATS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. LETS REMEMBER EPH 6V12 DECLARES ITS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE NOT FLESH AND BLOOD, AS JESUS SAID IN JOHN 8V44 SATAN IS THE FATHER OF LIES ALL THIS FALSE NONSENSE TODAY IS DOCTRINES OF DEMONS AS PAUL WARNED AMEN
John 5፡46: For had ye believed Moses (paul) , ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 2 Cor 4፡5: For we preach not ourselves, but #Christ #Jesus #the #Lord; and ourselves #your #servants for Jesus' sake. (See2 cor 1:24)
Paul was saved in the first third of acts, not middle of acts. Be for real, if your going to brandish your sword, lest you lose all credibility and get put in check by somebody who has a sharper sword. A for effort, but you fell short by people who know more than you. The body of CHRIST hear every word!

What was the opinion of christians in Judea on Paul in his early ministry? We don't have to guess on that. Contrary to "new revelation" we can read the following in Galatians 1: "23But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 24And they glorified God in me." So... he preached the faith. Was that some new type of faith? Nope. The very one that was preached by other apostles before him. And it would be good to mention that the word translated "preaching" in Galatians 1:23 is euaggelizó - to announce good news (Strongs number 2097), the same as in Galatians 1:9 where it is translated as - gospel (yes, in KJV also).
Also, there were many Christians that escaped Jerusalem in the late 60’s and 70ad using Luke 21 though it is claimed by this teaching that Luke 21 is for Jews
There are certainly some similarities between the 70AD destruction and Luke 21, but Luke 21:22 states that "all things which are written may be fulfilled." 70AD was not the fulfillment of all things promised about Jerusalem. I believe that a complete fulfillment of this passage, Matthew 24, and Revelation will occur after the rapture of the church, the Body of Christ.
@@biblestudywithphilbeery6842 Agreed. My point was that holding the position that the gospels are for the Jews and not the Church is wrong and can be easily seen reading Mark 13:37 in context.
Defeat Sensorship You are exactly right. They are taking this too far. The spiritual and eternal application of the word, the gospels, the Old Testament even, are for followers of Christ. I really have a problem with them saying there are different gospels, eg salvation. I contend it’s just different contexts, e.g., audiences. The message of salvation is Jesus period. Paul preached the same saving message to Jew and Gentile alike...Acts chapters 17 and 20 bear this out. I also have a problem with them saying James is faith plus works. This is so off base. It is only that works will follow conversion. It’s only logical if one is born, made into a new creature that is centered on being Christ-like after being saved. Paul even states that he is a calling men everywhere to repent; they say we don’t have to repent?! This doesn’t make common relationship sense. There’s not enough room here to point out the scriptures. They’ve made this into a law unto themselves. And we all know Jesus fulfilled the law. These though, are my biggest points of issue with the rightly divider folks...it’s simply the message of the gospel of salvation which is Christ, all an in all and for all it is Jesus!
Chuck Page KJV, Geneva 1599, Primarily. I will read NLT, Amplified, and perhaps others...but my study are between the first two with the others being supplements to it. Many scripture are omitted in new versions. Copyright laws require a ten percent or more change hence, verse omissions.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Why does Paul say "my Gospel" in 2 Tim. 2:8 "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel"? Because there were other gospels that claimed otherwise (there is no resurrection from dead or heresy). He deals with this issue in 1. Cor. 15 and there we can clearly see that he preached the same message as other apostles v11"Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." He was given MINISTRY among Gentiles not a special Gospel. Sure there were some new revelations coming from Paul, but also from other Apostles. But the Gospel is NOT divided, it is the same message as confirmed in Galatians 2:1-10 but different field of ministry.
Ivan hello let me try to answer your question at first when Paul was preaching the Gospel it was to Jews only and the Gospel was repent, believe who Jesus is(messiah) and be baptized, then Paul came and he was revealed some mysteries and the Gospel for gentiles which is faith in what Jesus did, that is the gospel for us today 1 Corinthians 15:1,4 And peter also accepted that Gospel and he also preach that at the end of he’s ministry, that’s why it is so important to rightly divide the word of truth. Hope that explains 🙏🏻☺️
@@pablovaldez5550 Hi Pablo, Paul never makes that distinction in Galatians 1, we have the same word in 1:9 and 1:23. Acts 26:20, it is the same message so I would have to disagree with you based on rightly discerning the Word of Truth.
Ivan you gotta look at the context he’s telling them what happen to him, why he became a follower of Christ of course at first it was repent and believe, change your mind and believe, why well because Jews didn’t believe Jesus is their messiah and gentiles where idolaters.
Ivan Acts is a transitional book it begins with peters to Jews and ends with Paul to Gentiles do you remember the centurion Cornelius the first gentile Peter gave the gospel too? Acts 10:39,48 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 ¶ While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Do you see how it was different, did you see that the guy got baptized after he received the Holy Spirit, is that the same way? We gotta study brother and not just go to one verse like you told me before, I believe the KJV to be the perfect word of God to English speaking people, and we don’t need many translations because he is not the author of confusion.
We follow Jesus correctly, having confidence in salvation, and sharing the truth of the gospel of grace with others. Paul revealed things about our relationship with Jesus which had been secret. Moses is an early type of Jesus. He had a special relationship with God, like Jesus. Moses left to be with God and while he was away, sin and idolatry became rampant. When he came down the mountain, some went with him and some rejected him.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Respectfully/humbly…with hope of edification… The Gospel: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. --- For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: --- and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 KJV The Gospel defined: “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:15-17 KJV Order of Salvation [hear, believe/trust, sealed] Explained: “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:12-23 KJV The problem of our sins: “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 KJV “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 KJV Thus, if nothing that we can do [our ‘good works’, keeping the whole law (=all 613 Commandments of the Torah as outlined in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) without ever offending the law in one point, etc.] can save us and keep us saved until the day of redemption, then what must we do to be saved/receive eternal life?: “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30-31 KJV “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; --------- that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. --------- For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. --------- For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. --------- How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:8-17 KJV Neither religion, ritual, keeping the 613 laws, nor good works will avail. God calls us to simply believe the gospel. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 It is the gospel alone that saves those who believe it. Nothing else will save. Therefore, we must preach the gospel. Paul said, "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! (1 Corinthians 9:16...). Sentimental appeals to "come to Jesus" or "make a decision for Christ” or “pray a prayer” avail nothing if the gospel is not clearly preached from the word of God, heard, and believed. Paul specifies the gospel that saves: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 KJV The gospel contains nothing about good works, water baptism, church membership or attendance, tithing, sacraments or rituals, diet or clothing. If we change, add anything to, or subtract from the gospel, we have perverted it. 2 Timothy 2:8-15 KJV Warning for teaching any other gospel: Galatians 1:1-9 KJV & Romans 14:4 KJV Once we hear and believe the gospel, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we are baptized into the body of Christ once…becoming individual members that, when combined together, comprise the overall body of Christ [with Christ as the chief corner stone], and God and Father of all is in us [Ephesians 1:12-14 KJV; 1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV; Ephesians 4:30 KJV; Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV; Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:21-29 KJV; 2 Timothy 1:8-14 KJV; & 1 Corinthians 11:32 KJV].

Hmm we needed to wait 1800 years for Darby t come along and slice and dice and teach us and the holy spirit, to RIGHTLY divide the scriptures, Interesting
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Respectfully/humbly…with hope of edification…we are told to ‘rightly divide’ the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV). Thus, whether one is just dividing the Old Testament & New Testament, historically, creation/promise/law/prophecy/Christ’s earthly ministry/Christ’s death for our sins, burial, & resurrection according to the scriptures/future kingdom, etc…we all divide scripture in some way. Schofield, etc. created an entire study Bible on dividing scripture into ‘blocks’, others have taught ‘rightly dividing’ scripture in history as well, etc. I do not see folks teaching or preaching that all of scripture does not matter as, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV All of the grace teachers/preachers that I’ve seen thus far use all of scripture, but simply point out that all scripture is ‘for’ us, but not all is ‘to’ us (for example, we do not need to build an ark, sacrifice animals, etc. today)…I have only see them preach the gospel outlined in 1 Corinthians 15…by God’s grace through faith (Ephesians 2) in/of Christ, God offers the free gift of everlasting life/eternal salvation to those who simply believe the gospel (1 Corinthians 15). In other words, the following gospel is being taught and preached today - The Gospel: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. --- For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: --- and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

@@lovemorgan-7 Grace and peace unto you as well, I do have to say you are wrong about the verse 2 Timothy 2:15 which must be taken in the context, 1st its the word of Truth, not the bible, not just scripture that is spoken of here, actually what it is saying is to keep scripture above the babblings coming out of peoples mouths remember church was different then people spoke as the word of the Lord came upon then expect not everyone was true in fact many were false so here he is saying Put scripture above the babbling In fact Paul Reminds Timothy He taught him the Gospel and as proof, he suffered much and to remind those teaching opposing truth of these things read the whole chapter Clearly its not instruction to divide scripture at all not even close to say that it is would be violence to the scripture itself 14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some
@@lovemorgan-7 Now I read much of your scripture and ti good scripture but it really mostly does not apply here, Except maybe the under the law, Do keep in mind though No One was ever saved under the law Not even David who broke many laws including Adultery murder eating the showbread and other death penalty laws But was called a man after my won heart by God Even Abraham have saved by faith not works as it is written Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness, The Gospel if often spoken of as a mystery revealed, in other words, it was a mystery in the old testament but it was there as a promise it was even then the only way to be saved though it was not truly understood now in these last days the mystery is revealed
Id like to ask of Mathews 18:20 it says when there are two or 3 gathered in his name he is in the midst of them now we believe as right deviders that the spirit is indwelling and when we here modern chirch theosim they believe the spirit can fall on them or scence hisbpresents in the church i believe his spirit is allways with us how would you deal with this?
Read the verse again, it says rightly divide the word of truth.(period) Then he says: But ....... That means rightly divide truth from the truth. All scripture is truth, but we are definetely not under the LAW. That is just one example of division.
According to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon "orthotomeo“ means "to cut straight ways, i. e. to proceed by straight paths, hold a straight course, equivalent to to do right". I think the best translation would be "rightly (straightly) discerning the word of truth". That would also serve the context of the passage which is using the Word correctly unlike Hymenaeus and Philetus.
There are so many distortions with this it’s insane. There’s a reason these camps are extremely small and inclusive. Any sound biblical scholar would rip this heresy apart in one single debate.
You are wrong. It is a large and fast growing group, because it is based on truth. Say what you want, but these people study the Bible to adapt that you and others are not willing to go. I am convinced the deeper you go into scripture, the more you realize the truth in mid-acts dispensationalism.
Being in the small camp is not a proof at all that you are not right and being in the big camp is not a proof at all that you are right! Noah was in an extremely small camp, but he was right!! Moreover, my experience is that there 's a very big camp with a looooot of false teachers and false prophets that tell horrendously heretical stuff with which they make a loooooot of money .... THAT is insane ... Besides I wonder which distortions you 're talking about! It 's exactly this teaching of rightly dividing that solves all apparent contradictions in the bible!
Certainly unintentional, but this seems to really insult the character of God. God has ALWAYS been gracious, and saved Abraham by grace through faith. When visiting Cornelius, Peter preached the only gospel he knew, and the Gentiles were saved "the same as we were," according to Peter's own testimony. Your carving Bible history up into "dispensations" is something I find extremely problematic. It's sadly true that the ancient Jews were extremely racist, and prejudiced against Gentiles, whom they generally considered as "dogs" and "spittle." But there's still just one gospel, and Paul said if anyone preached any OTHER gospel, that preacher was cursed. So if Peter's gospel was substantially different from Paul's, then Paul was cursing Peter.
Jesus was the end of the Mosaic law, Paul preached the Gospel, which is the ministry, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, no the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Saviour Jesus. Rightly dividers are generally Matthew 7;23's.
If we are Mat 7:23s then the Lord never knew us!!! So, what about this verse Einstein? Gal 4:9But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God!! Seems like Galatians are known of God, they are not in Mat 7:23s group!! Learn your KJV Bible dude.
Are you a Galatian? No. The Galatians were obeying Jesus AND keeping the Mosaic Law. They were known by God. You are not. You are a Luke 13;27. Read the NKJV, you might be able to understand that one. "KJV Only" is NOT a doctrine or rule from the Bible so why do you people recommend it as such? Why? Pharisees. You keep man's rules but not God's. If you read Galatians and Acts 15;5 you will see that Paul was telling them that Christians did not need to keep the MOSAIC LAW. Christians need to obey Jesus' law, Matthew 7;23's and Luke 13;27's do not have to obey any law, they are going to hell.
Geez. Spoken like a real "Grace Believer". Einstein? Learn your bible dude? Where is grace in that response? Knowledge puffeth up but charity (agape love) edifieth. If they don't think you care then they don't care what you think. LOVE...
My friend, do you believe it is appropriate to tell someone they are going to hell as you referenced Luke 13? Or to call someone a Pharisee? Who are you trying to persuade? Biblija responded to you with contempt and anger and you responded in like. Why must this discourse happen between so-called believers? Or between any two people?
If dispensationalism teacher will read 1 Timothy 6:3 maybe they would stop teaching this weird teaching. The verse says If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; Paul was saying to Timothy obey Jesus teaching and his words. Stop this weirdness.
So in light of the above verse, do we just disregard verses like Mathew 15:24 in comparison to Romans 11:13? Or what about 1 Corinthians 11:1, where Paul is showing himself a fleshly example according to the doctrine he received from Christ (Galatians 1:11-12 and Ephesians 3:8-9). A major rule of Bible study is not to isolate a verse, we are to compare "spiritual things with spiritual" (1 Corinthians 2:13) and if your entire foundation is based off of one verse, that's shaky and suspect to crumble
Ok why do you and all of the other "rightly dividing" promoters keep using Free Masonic hand gestures? Constantly, by the way-not just once in a while as perhaps innocent. No, you are constantly using Masonic hand gestures. Not listening to anyone who appears to be a fraud.
Victoria Bennet: I have no idea what Masonic hand gestures are. I oppose Free Masonry. I also, don't personally know of any other "rightly dividing" teachers connected to Free Masonry. I don't know a lot about Free Masonry, except that it's shrouded in secrecy and scripture teaches us to live and teach with open "manifestation of the truth". I have always used my hands when talking, but I'm sorry if that bothers you. Grace and Peace
Then why don't you just close your eyes or look at your own hands while you are listening? And what about if you were blind dear Victoria? You wouldn't know at all about this ''gesture''. Come on, we have to beleive by faith, not by sight!
2 Timothy 2:15 rightly dividing the word of truth read your bible the way it's supposed to be read if you don't you will come up with wrong doctrine and contradictions so you have to rightly divide!!!
Amen, Jesus Christ already forgiven all of our sins when he died and nailed the sins of the world and buried it, and was raised for our justification
Good teaching 😊
Preaching is making a statement. Teaching is explaining the who, what, where, when, why, how, etc. regarding that statement.
or how ‘bout...teaching is when we learn and preaching is why we learn?
👍👍👍❣️ Bravo brother,be corageous,press on,thank you
Thank you so much Phil
It is good to contend for the truth with grace and respect. Thanks! 👍🙏❤️🌎
Faith is not to legalize 17:19
What an eye 👁️ opener! Very well explained! Thank you 😊
Hey! Can we all agree to tell the lost that they must believe on Jesus as their redeemer or they will die and spend eternity in hell because of their unbelief? We need to be saved that God is going to judge sin and only Christ’s blood and faith in him dying for us will cover our sins and wash them away before God? Good grief! Witness the gospel! He is coming back like He said and time is short!
CT, yes, we should spread the gospel message. Of course we should. But then what happens when the person goes and starts reading the scriptures after they are saved, and finds dozens of contradictions? The deeper they go, the more confused they will be. If they never hear anyone explain it properly, it can shake their faith and cause them to even leave the faith. These discussions are absolutely critical and must take place. Your assertion that it's a waste of time to go deep into the word of God and study it, is unhelpful at best, and at worst it's an attempt from the devil to prevent Christians from taking their faith more serious and going deeper into the word.
Is Paul OUR apostle? Yes. He is THE apostle of (belonging to) the Gentiles Romans 11:13. Was God dealing mankind as a NATION in time past and today is dealing with mankind INDIVIDUALLY? Yes Ephesians 2:11-13. I thank God that He led me to the so-called grace movement teachings as I was an unsaved Christian for my entire life. Through "right division" teachings I was presented the gospel for the first time in my life. However, after spending time in "grace circles" and studying scriptures I found myself in just another denominational group. While I agree with much of what is taught, there is much I believe scripture proves to be correct over right division dogma.
For one, the most important message we are to present to the world today is our ministry of reconciliation as outlined in II Corinthians 5....
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit [that is to say], that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
***According to Paul, God has reconciled (being no longer at enmity) the world (comprised of unbelievers and believers alike) and he is NOT IMPUTING (keeping a record;holding to one's account) THEIR SINS AGAINST THEM. And He has committed this word (or message) of reconciliation unto us (believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ).
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
***We are to be ambassadors for Christ with this message (of reconciliation) and we are urged by Christ to tell the unbelieving world that they were reconciled to God by the death of His Son (ROMANS 5:10) WHEN THEY WERE YET ENEMIES...2000 Years ago! And God is reconciled in HIS MIND so the unbeliever is urged to be reconciled in THEIR MIND (COL 1:21).
21 For he [God the Father] hath (past tense; has already) made him [Jesus Christ the Son] to be sin for us , who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Jesus Christ paid the penalty 2000 years ago and as a result of His resurrection, He removed sin (as far as judgement) from the world. Sin at one time separated Man from God but not since Calvary. Sin does not stand between Man and God. How could it when Jesus Christ paid the penalty. The only thing separating Man from God today is their unbelief in what the SON did with their SIN. Sin will send no one to hell for that penalty was paid by Jesus Christ (ROM 6:23). Their unbelief in the one that DIED FOR THEIR SINS is what will keep man from spending eternity in the heavenly places with the Lord.
This is the most important message we are to preach today. God did not tell us to be ambassadors for Christ with the message of right division. We are to preach the message of reconciliation. More time is spent in right division circles gaining knowledge (often times arguing) about when the body of Christ started, what did Peter know and when did he know it, was Cornelius in the Body, etc. Knowledge puffeth up but charity (agape love) edifieth (I COR 8:1). And when one questions many of the dogmatic, proverbial "line in the sand" divisions made by so-called grace Pastors, then they are often "marked and avoided"; a scripture so abused by so-called Grace Believers (and I do call myself a grace believer) that they end up being the least gracious of all.
I will close on this note. I never could have this scripture explained to me by anyone in the grace movement. Let me preface with this; we are taught that Paul's mystery was nowhere to be found in OT scripture or the four gospel accounts. It is an entirely new message. And that he alone was given the message (which scripture agrees with) and taught this message only to his followers and is a different message taught by the authors of the Hebrew epistles (which is not true according to scripture). Please explain.....
Read Acts 26. Paul is explaining to King Agrippa about his ministry....
Verse 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
SAYING NONE OTHER THINGS THAN THOSE WHICH THE PROPHETS AND MOSES DID SAY SHOULD COME.
You could spend 20 minutes trying to explain what Paul meant here (as many do with the II Corinthians 5 ministry of reconciliation passage) or you can take the 5 seconds to read it and let God tell you what He means.
Paul preached/taught/said nothing other than what the OT prophets and Moses said would come. He is right in line with what they said. He is not teaching anything different.
Paul used the OT scriptures to show what was accomplished by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These things were hidden in the scriptures by God and when God was ready He made these truths revealed through the apostle Paul. We see the gospel in the garden in Eden when Adam tried to appear righteous before God by sewing fig leaves. But God clothed them is the sacrifice of an animal....Could Paul not use this type and shadow of Jesus Christ's sacrifice at Calvary to explain the gospel and the reality of reconciliation? Could he not use Genesis 12 to show that the promise made to Abraham was a type and shadow of Jesus Christ and the creation of the Body of Christ? In fact, that's what Paul does say in Galatians 3 when he says the gospel was preached unto Abraham saying in thee shall all nations be blessed. Of course Abraham would not have understood what was going on. No one did for had the world known about this great secret/mystery, then the princes of this world never would have crucified the Lord (I COR 2:8). So Paul's gospel was found throughout scripture...that is what he was saying. It was all right there in front of them and he never taught anything that OT prophets or Moses taught...he just made manifest the truth that was in those scriptures. God kept it hidden until He revealed it to Paul...and then Paul revealed it to the the world (and the 12) in his writings. Think about it; would Paul have ever gotten anywhere with Jews if he taught OUTSIDE of the OT scriptures? Of course not.
Paul's gospel was right in front of them...he just showed them where it was.
Remember when 3D Stereograms were all the rage?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram#/media/File:Stereogram_Tut_Random_Dot_Shark.png
You could look at that image and just see a bunch of colorful dots. You could hang it up in your office and that is all you ever see. If I came along and told you HOW to look at it differently, and you suddenly saw the 3D image pop out at you, then you would now have a different understanding of that poster. The image was there all along...you just didn't know HOW to look at it. The same with Paul's gospel. Jesus Christ revealed to Paul what was meant by the OT scriptures (the revealing of the mystery), and now we know that we can find the gospel in every book of the bible. That is the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery (Romans 16:25).
And when I say "Paul's gospel", that is "the gospel"...
John Hampton
King Agrippa was Jewish and knew the law and the prophets. Paul is trying to convince King Agrippa that Jesus IS The Christ which Paul preached early on in his ministry. That was all Paul “knew” at the beginning. Paul learned more and more about grace through faith as he goes along. When Paul is talking to King Agrippa, a Jew, Paul is just trying to convince Agrippa that Jesus is The Christ. Here Paul recalls his early years of his ministry.
Acts 26:20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Paul was preaching all that he “knew” early on. Paul gains more and more about grace by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is a “transition” period going on in the book of Acts from Law to Grace, just like Paul transitioned from Law to Grace, too! Paul’s Gospel was not in the OT or The prophets. Paul’s Gospel of Grace by faith 1 Cor 15:1-4 was only made “known” to Paul.
Read Acts 3 v 20 and 21. The read Romans 16 v 25
Peter
Jesus Christ was preached to what God had spoken since the world began
Paul
Preached Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began.
One message was spoken since the world began
One message was kept secret since the world began.
How can one message that was spoken be the same as the one kept secret?
If the message spoken is the the same as the message kept secret then the message kept secret since time began is no longer a secret
Two different messages to two different people groups
Isreal
Gentiles
@@johnhampton353 I agree with Ricko....there are two different Gospels...not one Gospel taught to two different groups. If that was so...why was Paul an Apostle? Why didn't Peter and the rest of the 12 preach salvation by grace through faith? Because their message and Gospel were only for Israel. Paul was given a completely different Gospel by revelation from Jesus Christ.
Just because you used to be a mid-acts dispensationalist, and now you are not, does not mean you are now right and they are wrong. It could mean that you have just allowed other ideas to confuse you, just like you were confused perhaps for years before you discovered how to rightly divide.
Also, you attempt to demean how mid-acts dispensationalist tend to take their Bible study very seriously, and often discuss all of the contradictions between the words of jesus, james, peter, John, and Paul. You say this as if these contradictions are a minor thing that don't require very serious and constant discussion to anyone who is serious about understanding God's word and growing in the faith, free of confusion and double mindedness.
But keep in mind that there are many new people out there who have never even heard of rightly dividing, who are extremely confused about all these contradictions in the Bible. There are millions of people who have perhaps gotten to the point of such frustration that they have left the faith because of this confusion. I'm one of them, and I thank God that my eyes have been opened to how to read the Bible in a way that makes sense. I treasure every second of teaching in these matters.
Perhaps when some years go by and I have a deeper understanding, I won't need to spend as much time in these discussions. But when that time comes, I sure hope I don't look back and disparage others who are still engaged in these crucial discussions, just because I have outgrown them. I hope I never outgrow them, because then I could open myself up to confusion just as it seems you have done. You are once again confusing the different messages in the different dispensations.
I understand there are some passages that are difficult and challenging. But I would propose that you are the one that needs to read them and ask God to explain them to you in a way that it makes sense, rather than try to marry to completely different statements and messages to two completely different groups. That just leads to confusion, frustration, and ultimately makes you double minded and questioning your faith. God bless
So glad I found you👍🏻
"Rightly Dividing" the differences between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai (Heb. 12:18), and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary (Heb. 12:22-24). (See also 2 Cor. 3:6-8)
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word.
Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary.
What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below.
New Covenant Whole Gospel:
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those in the New Covenant.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

This was an excellent video and helps clarify so many things. Do you happen to have a video that shows the different attributes of the apostles doctrinal dispensation and Paul’s dispensation of Grace? I know there are other dispensations but I think that that helps clear up so many things to be able to see the differences between the two and you touched on many of those today. Thank you so much and God bless, brother.
Thank you for the kind words! I don't believe I have a video specifically addressing the dispensational differences. That may be a good idea for a future lesson.
This doctrine takes away repentance, takes away the words of Christ, takes away the gospel of Christ, takes away the kingdom of God, takes away baptism for the remission of sin, and makes the words of Paul more authoritative than the words of Jesus. This false doctrine takes away large portions of the bible. This false doctrine does not know the difference between a gentile and a Jew in the bible. Stay away from this false doctrine.
@@Over-for-now So you believe there are 2 different gospels that save people?

…
¹¹ But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

thank you
Do You believe that God has the power to transform you through the Holy Spirit, giving you a new heart and new mind to turn away from your former life of sin and death? Or do you believe it doesn't matter if we sin because of what was done on the cross and we are now under Grace?
That is a great question! Apostle Paul dealt with the same question in Romans 3:8 & 6:15. The Holy Spirit does indeed have the power to transform us but that can be hindered greatly if we don't have the truth about grace and law. Sin is always destructive and will lead us into a life at odds with God's purpose if left unrestrained. However, the beauty of grace is that sin no longer can control our destiny. If we have fully trusted Christ for our salvation, then we WILL go to heaven, but we do have the judgment seat of Christ to look forward to. This is not to judge our sin but to judge our service, which is impacted in a negative way when we live a life of unrestrained sin. Sin DOES matter but not for salvation. Too many Christians only seem to care about the minimum requirement for salvation, so they can continue with their sin or lifestyle. The Christian's reward is an eternal thing also that should be taken seriously!
Phil Beery I agree, Grace isn't excuse to remain in sin, nor are keeping the commandments of Christ included as a pre-requirement for salvation. However post salvation, once we have received the Holy Spirit he will convict us of our sins (in my experience) gently over time and lead us into repentance and a deepening of our Faith in our Lord and Saviour, bring us into a closer relationship with God the father. As Jesus said in (John 14:15) if we love him our faith will be evident by the fruit of our faith. This is not a matter of earning salvation through merit of works, but a heart condition towards God our Father in heaven. If it doesn't not lead to a lifestyle change then as its put in (James 2:17) then our faith is dead and we believe in vein. As we grow in faith we become more aware of our short comings of Christ, but because we are saved due to the fulfilment of what Jesus did on the Cross, we have the Grace of God to approach God boldly and keep moving forward in this spiritual race without falling into condemnation, sin and death. (Rom 5:20) however I urge my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, don't be lazy, don't slack off, but run the good race, enduring to the end in our Faith in Jesus Christ. (James 1:12) (2 Tim 4:7)
God bless, and peace and joy that is our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. May the spirit of truth always guide you.
Amen.
the Holy spirit seals you when you are saved. Doesn't lead, doesn't transform you, doesn't make you speak in tongues
My thoughts are on the Holy Spirit!👍👏😊
@@timbetteridge6078Amen! What a dangerous doctrine so many believe, not even founded by scripture.
Paul talks about "holding faith, and a good conscience" (1 Timothy 1:19) and then warns believers of an unrestrained lifestyle of sin leading to a "seared conscience" (1 Timothy 4:2) which if left unchecked will lead to God giving you over to a "debassed mind" (Romans 1:28-32).
The Holy Spirit is solely responsible to "guide us into all truth" (John 16:13), it seems people don't understand John 16:8,
"And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment"
And as a result believe the Holy Spirit is doing allot more than he was sent to do and not giving glory to God's establishment of the conscience in all of humanity.
It’s funny how people relate a verse which says rightly divide the Bible as cult
Rightly divide your Bible does not change the fact Christ is our Lord and savior
Just the approach to help us understand the Bible better and easier
Bible isn’t for theologist ( never was ) but somehow it’s made into one by people like one
Bible is written for us not simply to us, so anyone with the least bit of literal understanding can undertake and receive the truth
2 Corinthians 5:19
The thief on the cross was saved by faith through grace even though the Church had not begun.
Yes, that is correct. The thief WAS saved by faith, but the message (gospel) that he believed was different from the message that Paul taught. Prior to the revelation of the mystery, the preaching of the cross was unknown, even by the twelve apostles (Luke 18:31-34).
@@biblestudywithphilbeery6842 Israel was looking for Messiah. Those of Israel who accepted Him were true Israel those who did not were and are not. Where those in disbelief were broken off, we as gentile believers were grafted in. The law was never to save. Faith in God was. I believe a debate on the pre 70th week rapture being false would solidify the error of the hyper dispensational view that "rightly dividing" holds.
Amen Sarah, that is the truth. You don't have anything but grace to rely on in any age. The truth is that Jesus didn't talked openly about the cross. However it was the mean of salvation and a plan established before beginning of world. Gospel is the message how one can be saved and enter the kingdom! Jesus said to Nicodemus that He shall be raised up as brass serpent in desert, he said that He came so none who believe in him will not perish. John the Baptist also recognised that Jesus is the LAMB who takes the sins of the world. What is the last words on Paul in Acts? "Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him. 31Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ."
@@christskingdom8950 You are incorrect we were not grafted in. That scripture is not talking about gentiles / body of Christ. No need for the body of Christ to be grafted into Christ.
Jesus Is Alpha Omega:Read all of Romans 11. Don’t tell me rightly dividing has “rightly divided” Romans right out of the message to the Church too! 🤮 This false doctrine is all predicated on the false doctrine of the pre Trib rapture! Don’t worry, your gonna find out soon enough this teaching is false. Enjoy yourself until then.
Though I agree with a lot of the rightly dividing teaching there are issues. One is; 2 Thes 2. All pre tribbers KILL this passage. There is NO gymnastics that can yield a pre man of sin rapture. That cause all kinds of issues with the "nearness" of the “grace” dispensation.
This is a valid question! I do strongly support the KJV of the Bible, and it matters in this passage. This deserves much more input than I can provide in this reply but I'll offer a condensed explanation.
The main issue is with our definition of the "day of Christ". Many define it as the rapture, so that leaves us with a rapture that cannot happen until after the man of sin is revealed. A study on the "day of Christ" is needed, but I would offer that it is when: Christ begins to actively take ownership of all that is His, sits in judgment, & avenges evil. This covers a time frame with several different, significant events, and involving different people groups.
So, when we are caught up (rapture) that begins the "day of Christ" for us. That is when Christ will sit in judgment (judgment seat of Christ) over the body of Christ to offer reward. He will then expel Satan and the evil angels out of heaven. Then HALFWAY through the tribulation, Christ will begin to judge the world of unbelievers with wrath and vengeance ON THE EARTH. The "day of Christ" will COME (II Thess. 2:3) to earth mid-way through the tribulation.
Conclusion: The "day of Christ" is not the rapture. The "day of Christ" will COME (to earth) after the "man of sin" is revealed, mid-way through the 7-year tribulation. This passage is not about WHEN the "day of Christ" begins, but about WHEN it comes to earth.
Hope this helps!
Grace & Peace
@@biblestudywithphilbeery6842 I see it differently but do appreciate your response. Just keep studying my friend.
If the dead in Christ rise first then the first resurrection doesn't take place until Revelation chapter 20:4-6 This is another big problem for pretribulationalism or even the post-trib/Pre-wrath view. How about just taking Christ at his word when he said that the resurrection of the saints will occur on the LAST DAY?John 6:39,40,44,54.All these charts and hermeneutical gymnastics simply have to be imposed onto the word of God. The Bible teaches us a post-trib rapture 2nd Thessalonians 1:7-10 but not a seven year tribulation. Nowhere in the entire Bible can you find where the seven year tribulation or a rapture prior to it.
@@owensterry29 so if Rev 20 is the “1st resurrection” what resurrection did Jesus partake and what about the Matt 27 resurrection of “many people?” As you stated, let the Bible speak. When you do, it screams that the 1st resurrection encompasses more than 1 event. Revelation 20 is distinguishing between the resurrection of life and the resurrection of death and that you really want to partake of the 1st one.
@@owensterry29 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Respectfully/humbly, in hope of edification…the resurrection(s) issue seems to be a bit more complex than that.
For example, regarding the following verses of scripture in Matthew 27, do they fulfill some of the Old Testament prophecy (Isaiah 26:19, Ezekiel 37 KJV) and Christ’s prophecy in John 5:25 KJV (as the scripture states that the graves were opened, but the bodies of the saints which slept arose after Christ’s resurrection) or were those risen saints pledges of the future resurrection and the coming kingdom or both or is something else going on?
“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Matthew 27:51-53 KJV
Further, as scripture does not mention these ‘…many bodies of the saints which slept arose…’ after that and says they ‘…went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.’, and given Mark 16:19, Luke 24:50-51, Acts 1:9-11, & 1 Timothy 6:16 KJV…were these saints raised bodily (after Christ’s resurrection) and then died again later (until the general resurrection) or were they ‘caught up’?
I am conflicted on this between 1 Timothy 6:16 KJV - “Who [our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords] only hath immortality dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, no can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” …and…
Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV - “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
According to this scripture, many bodies of the saints which slept have already risen after Christ’s resurrection (as Christ, the Prince of Life, the First and the Last, was/is the first-born/first-fruits from the dead - Colossians 1:18, Acts 26:23, 1 Corinthians 15:20, Revelation 1:5).
Matthew 27:52-53 could also be the fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy in John 5:25…being distinguished from the general resurrection prophesied in Matthew 27:28-29.
We also have Ephesians 4:8 and Colossians 2:15.
1 Corinthians 15 also informs about the resurrection.
However, all of that said…I do not think the point of contention for rapture proponents is the general resurrection.
Revelation 19 describes the marriage of the Lamb has come in heaven and His wife/bride arrayed in fine linen seem to already be there and announcement of the marriage supper of the Lamb prior to Christ returning to the earth.
Revelation 20:5-6 mention the “first resurrection”…which seems to indicate, along with potentially Matthew 27:52-53, at least more than one resurrection.
In Luke 16:19-31 KJV - there was either ‘Abraham’s bosom’ or ‘hell’. 2 Corinthians 5 KJV - informs how believers [souls & spirits] in Christ are present with the Lord when absent from the body. Ecclesiastes 12:7 KJV “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.” Revelation clearly shows only 2 potential outcomes for people during the ‘tribulation’. Among other scriptures describing physical death, I do not see any mention of ‘soul sleep’ or ‘annihilation’ in scripture.
Enoch (Genesis 5:24 & Hebrews 11:5) and Elijah (2 Kings 2:11)…both did not experience physical death/were ‘caught up’ and Christ (during His earthly ministry/before His death, burial, & resurrection according to the scriptures - 1 Corinthians 15 and ascension up to heaven, where He is now, until He returns) speaking with Elijah & Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5-6) at the mount of transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9).
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV seems to describe a rapture and correlate to 1 Corinthians 15:47-56 KJV & John 14:2-3 KJV & 1 Thessalonians 5:1-17. This seems to be a prior event to what is described in Hebrews - Revelation…the kingdom.
Ephesians 4:30 KJV states, “the day of redemption.” and Romans 8:23-25 KJV states, “…waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
2 Thessalonians 2 describes our gathering together unto him [our Lord Jesus Christ]… and “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
---
Regarding John 6:39-40, etc. (“…all which he [the Father] hath given me…”)….we must also consider the beginning of a transition in John 12, specifically John 12:32 - “And I, if I [Christ] be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”, etc.
I probably need to edit this later to make it flow better, organize, add some or elaborate on the already cited scriptural references, and make it more coherent + possibly correct some things as I am running on fumes for now…but wanted to present a few items for consideration until I get a chance to revise/organize.
All the best.
God be with you and love in Christ always!

Teaching = installation of doctrine.
Preaching = stirring up doctrine resident in the inner man.

What was the opinion of christians in Judea on Paul in his early ministry? We don't have to guess on that. Contrary to "new revelation" we can read the following in Galatians 1: "23But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 24And they glorified God in me." So... he preached the faith. Was that some new type of faith? Nope. The very one that was preached by other apostles before him.
And it would be good to mention that the word translated "preaching" in Galatians 1:23 is euaggelizó - to announce good news (Strongs number 2097), the same as in Galatians 1:9 where it is translated as - gospel (yes, in KJV also).
@snark nado are you for real? You sound bit silly. Do you actually have anything to say besides accusing me without any ground?
Also, there were many Christians that escaped Jerusalem in the late 60’s and 70ad using Luke 21 though it is claimed by this teaching that Luke 21 is for Jews
There are certainly some similarities between the 70AD destruction and Luke 21, but Luke 21:22 states that "all things which are written may be fulfilled." 70AD was not the fulfillment of all things promised about Jerusalem. I believe that a complete fulfillment of this passage, Matthew 24, and Revelation will occur after the rapture of the church, the Body of Christ.
@@biblestudywithphilbeery6842 Agreed. My point was that holding the position that the gospels are for the Jews and not the Church is wrong and can be easily seen reading Mark 13:37 in context.
Defeat Sensorship You are exactly right. They are taking this too far. The spiritual and eternal application of the word, the gospels, the Old Testament even, are for followers of Christ. I really have a problem with them saying there are different gospels, eg salvation. I contend it’s just different contexts, e.g., audiences. The message of salvation is Jesus period. Paul preached the same saving message to Jew and Gentile alike...Acts chapters 17 and 20 bear this out. I also have a problem with them saying James is faith plus works. This is so off base. It is only that works will follow conversion. It’s only logical if one is born, made into a new creature that is centered on being Christ-like after being saved. Paul even states that he is a calling men everywhere to repent; they say we don’t have to repent?! This doesn’t make common relationship sense. There’s not enough room here to point out the scriptures. They’ve made this into a law unto themselves. And we all know Jesus fulfilled the law. These though, are my biggest points of issue with the rightly divider folks...it’s simply the message of the gospel of salvation which is Christ, all an in all and for all it is Jesus!

What version of the Bible do you use?
Chuck Page KJV, Geneva 1599, Primarily. I will read NLT, Amplified, and perhaps others...but my study are between the first two with the others being supplements to it. Many scripture are omitted in new versions. Copyright laws require a ten percent or more change hence, verse omissions.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21
Matt 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus said the Father is the only true God!
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
Why does Paul say "my Gospel" in 2 Tim. 2:8 "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel"? Because there were other gospels that claimed otherwise (there is no resurrection from dead or heresy). He deals with this issue in 1. Cor. 15 and there we can clearly see that he preached the same message as other apostles v11"Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." He was given MINISTRY among Gentiles not a special Gospel. Sure there were some new revelations coming from Paul, but also from other Apostles. But the Gospel is NOT divided, it is the same message as confirmed in Galatians 2:1-10 but different field of ministry.
Ivan hello let me try to answer your question at first when Paul was preaching the Gospel it was to Jews only and the Gospel was repent, believe who Jesus is(messiah) and be baptized, then Paul came and he was revealed some mysteries and the Gospel for gentiles which is faith in what Jesus did, that is the gospel for us today 1 Corinthians 15:1,4
And peter also accepted that Gospel and he also preach that at the end of he’s ministry, that’s why it is so important to rightly divide the word of truth. Hope that explains 🙏🏻☺️
@@pablovaldez5550 Hi Pablo, Paul never makes that distinction in Galatians 1, we have the same word in 1:9 and 1:23. Acts 26:20, it is the same message so I would have to disagree with you based on rightly discerning the Word of Truth.
Ivan sorry I meant to say peter first when to Jews and then Paul to Jews and gentiles
Ivan you gotta look at the context he’s telling them what happen to him, why he became a follower of Christ of course at first it was repent and believe, change your mind and believe, why well because Jews didn’t believe Jesus is their messiah and gentiles where idolaters.
Ivan Acts is a transitional book it begins with peters to Jews and ends with Paul to Gentiles do you remember the centurion Cornelius the first gentile Peter gave the gospel too?
Acts 10:39,48
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 ¶ While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Do you see how it was different, did you see that the guy got baptized after he received the Holy Spirit, is that the same way? We gotta study brother and not just go to one verse like you told me before, I believe the KJV to be the perfect word of God to English speaking people, and we don’t need many translations because he is not the author of confusion.
Do you read the christian church into the letter of Filemon?
I believe that Philemon was written TO and FOR the church, the body of Christ.
We follow Jesus correctly, having confidence in salvation, and sharing the truth of the gospel of grace with others. Paul revealed things about our relationship with Jesus which had been secret.
Moses is an early type of Jesus. He had a special relationship with God, like Jesus. Moses left to be with God and while he was away, sin and idolatry became rampant. When he came down the mountain, some went with him and some rejected him.
Except that Moses was just a man! Jesus is the image of God in the flesh.
Every cult welcomes questions.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Gospel:
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
---
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
---
and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 KJV
The Gospel defined:
“So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:15-17 KJV
Order of Salvation [hear, believe/trust, sealed] Explained:
“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:12-23 KJV
The problem of our sins:
“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 KJV
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
1 John 1:8
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 KJV
Thus, if nothing that we can do [our ‘good works’, keeping the whole law (=all 613 Commandments of the Torah as outlined in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) without ever offending the law in one point, etc.] can save us and keep us saved until the day of redemption, then what must we do to be saved/receive eternal life?:
“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
Acts 16:30-31 KJV
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
---------
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
---------
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
---------
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
---------
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:8-17 KJV
Neither religion, ritual, keeping the 613 laws, nor good works will avail. God calls us to simply believe the gospel.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
It is the gospel alone that saves those who believe it. Nothing else will save. Therefore, we must preach the gospel. Paul said, "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! (1 Corinthians 9:16...). Sentimental appeals to "come to Jesus" or "make a decision for Christ” or “pray a prayer” avail nothing if the gospel is not clearly preached from the word of God, heard, and believed.
Paul specifies the gospel that saves:
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 KJV
The gospel contains nothing about good works, water baptism, church membership or attendance, tithing, sacraments or rituals, diet or clothing. If we change, add anything to, or subtract from the gospel, we have perverted it.
2 Timothy 2:8-15 KJV
Warning for teaching any other gospel:
Galatians 1:1-9 KJV & Romans 14:4 KJV
Once we hear and believe the gospel, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we are baptized into the body of Christ once…becoming individual members that, when combined together, comprise the overall body of Christ [with Christ as the chief corner stone], and God and Father of all is in us [Ephesians 1:12-14 KJV; 1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV; Ephesians 4:30 KJV; Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV; Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:21-29 KJV; 2 Timothy 1:8-14 KJV; & 1 Corinthians 11:32 KJV].

Hmm we needed to wait 1800 years for Darby t come along and slice and dice and teach us and the holy spirit, to RIGHTLY divide the scriptures, Interesting
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Respectfully/humbly…with hope of edification…we are told to ‘rightly divide’ the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV). Thus, whether one is just dividing the Old Testament & New Testament, historically, creation/promise/law/prophecy/Christ’s earthly ministry/Christ’s death for our sins, burial, & resurrection according to the scriptures/future kingdom, etc…we all divide scripture in some way. Schofield, etc. created an entire study Bible on dividing scripture into ‘blocks’, others have taught ‘rightly dividing’ scripture in history as well, etc.
I do not see folks teaching or preaching that all of scripture does not matter as, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
2 Timothy 3:16 KJV
All of the grace teachers/preachers that I’ve seen thus far use all of scripture, but simply point out that all scripture is ‘for’ us, but not all is ‘to’ us (for example, we do not need to build an ark, sacrifice animals, etc. today)…I have only see them preach the gospel outlined in 1 Corinthians 15…by God’s grace through faith (Ephesians 2) in/of Christ, God offers the free gift of everlasting life/eternal salvation to those who simply believe the gospel (1 Corinthians 15).
In other words, the following gospel is being taught and preached today -
The Gospel:
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

The gospel contains nothing about good works, water baptism, church membership or attendance, tithing, sacraments or rituals, diet or clothing. If we change, add anything to, or subtract from the gospel, we have perverted it.
2 Timothy 2:8-15 KJV
Warning for teaching any other gospel:
Galatians 1:1-9 KJV & Romans 14:4 KJV
Once we hear and believe the gospel, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, we are baptized into the body of Christ once…becoming individual members that, when combined together, comprise the overall body of Christ [with Christ as the chief corner stone], and God and Father of all is in us [Ephesians 1:12-14 KJV; 1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV; Ephesians 4:30 KJV; Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV; Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:21-29 KJV; 2 Timothy 1:8-14 KJV; & 1 Corinthians 11:32 KJV].

@@lovemorgan-7 Grace and peace unto you as well, I do have to say you are wrong about the verse 2 Timothy 2:15 which must be taken in the context, 1st its the word of Truth, not the bible, not just scripture that is spoken of here, actually what it is saying is to keep scripture above the babblings coming out of peoples mouths remember church was different then people spoke as the word of the Lord came upon then expect not everyone was true in fact many were false so here he is saying Put scripture above the babbling
In fact Paul Reminds Timothy He taught him the Gospel and as proof, he suffered much and to remind those teaching opposing truth of these things read the whole chapter Clearly its not instruction to divide scripture at all not even close to say that it is would be violence to the scripture itself
14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some
@@lovemorgan-7 Now I read much of your scripture and ti good scripture but it really mostly does not apply here, Except maybe the under the law, Do keep in mind though No One was ever saved under the law Not even David who broke many laws including Adultery murder eating the showbread and other death penalty laws But was called a man after my won heart by God Even Abraham have saved by faith not works as it is written Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness, The Gospel if often spoken of as a mystery revealed, in other words, it was a mystery in the old testament but it was there as a promise it was even then the only way to be saved though it was not truly understood now in these last days the mystery is revealed
Id like to ask of Mathews 18:20 it says when there are two or 3 gathered in his name he is in the midst of them now we believe as right deviders that the spirit is indwelling and when we here modern chirch theosim they believe the spirit can fall on them or scence hisbpresents in the church i believe his spirit is allways with us how would you deal with this?
That was then , this is now. The purpose of the Holy spirit is to Seal us. Period.
When Jesus died he went into the lower paradise, grabbed them all and took them up to heaven.
2Timothy 2;15 says to rightly divide the word of truth from profane and idle babblings (2;16) and from words to the ruin of their hearers (2;14).
Read the verse again, it says rightly divide the word of truth.(period)
Then he says: But .......
That means rightly divide truth from the truth. All scripture is truth, but we are definetely not under the LAW. That is just one example of division.
Petar : I was thinking the same. We are to rightly divide the TRUTH. Amen.
Petar : Correction : Rightly divide the word of TRUTH.
Stick with the KJV that’s the only bible that doesn’t change the words
According to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon "orthotomeo“ means "to cut straight ways, i. e. to proceed by straight paths, hold a straight course, equivalent to to do right".
I think the best translation would be "rightly (straightly) discerning the word of truth". That would also serve the context of the passage which is using the Word correctly unlike Hymenaeus and Philetus.
There are so many distortions with this it’s insane. There’s a reason these camps are extremely small and inclusive. Any sound biblical scholar would rip this heresy apart in one single debate.
Let Rodney Teach you. th-cam.com/video/Jldxr44mL5k/w-d-xo.html. Done!
You are wrong. It is a large and fast growing group, because it is based on truth. Say what you want, but these people study the Bible to adapt that you and others are not willing to go. I am convinced the deeper you go into scripture, the more you realize the truth in mid-acts dispensationalism.
Being in the small camp is not a proof at all that you are not right and being in the big camp is not a proof at all that you are right! Noah was in an extremely small camp, but he was right!! Moreover, my experience is that there 's a very big camp with a looooot of false teachers and false prophets that tell horrendously heretical stuff with which they make a loooooot of money .... THAT is insane ... Besides I wonder which distortions you 're talking about! It 's exactly this teaching of rightly dividing that solves all apparent contradictions in the bible!
Too long of a preamble. Great topic, but you'll never get to it!
Certainly unintentional, but this seems to really insult the character of God. God has ALWAYS been gracious, and saved Abraham by grace through faith. When visiting Cornelius, Peter preached the only gospel he knew, and the Gentiles were saved "the same as we were," according to Peter's own testimony. Your carving Bible history up into "dispensations" is something I find extremely problematic. It's sadly true that the ancient Jews were extremely racist, and prejudiced against Gentiles, whom they generally considered as "dogs" and "spittle." But there's still just one gospel, and Paul said if anyone preached any OTHER gospel, that preacher was cursed. So if Peter's gospel was substantially different from Paul's, then Paul was cursing Peter.
Jesus was the end of the Mosaic law, Paul preached the Gospel, which is the ministry, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, no the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Saviour Jesus. Rightly dividers are generally Matthew 7;23's.
If we are Mat 7:23s then the Lord never knew us!!! So, what about this verse Einstein? Gal 4:9But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God!! Seems like Galatians are known of God, they are not in Mat 7:23s group!!
Learn your KJV Bible dude.
Are you a Galatian? No. The Galatians were obeying Jesus AND keeping the Mosaic Law. They were known by God. You are not. You are a Luke 13;27. Read the NKJV, you might be able to understand that one.
"KJV Only" is NOT a doctrine or rule from the Bible so why do you people recommend it as such? Why? Pharisees. You keep man's rules but not God's.
If you read Galatians and Acts 15;5 you will see that Paul was telling them that Christians did not need to keep the MOSAIC LAW. Christians need to obey Jesus' law, Matthew 7;23's and Luke 13;27's do not have to obey any law, they are going to hell.
What is gospel of your salvation? I see you dont understand what I said so tell me how you get saved?
Geez. Spoken like a real "Grace Believer". Einstein? Learn your bible dude? Where is grace in that response? Knowledge puffeth up but charity (agape love) edifieth. If they don't think you care then they don't care what you think. LOVE...
My friend, do you believe it is appropriate to tell someone they are going to hell as you referenced Luke 13? Or to call someone a Pharisee? Who are you trying to persuade? Biblija responded to you with contempt and anger and you responded in like. Why must this discourse happen between so-called believers? Or between any two people?
If dispensationalism teacher will read 1 Timothy 6:3 maybe they would stop teaching this weird teaching. The verse says If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; Paul was saying to Timothy obey Jesus teaching and his words. Stop this weirdness.
So in light of the above verse, do we just disregard verses like Mathew 15:24 in comparison to Romans 11:13?
Or what about 1 Corinthians 11:1, where Paul is showing himself a fleshly example according to the doctrine he received from Christ (Galatians 1:11-12 and Ephesians 3:8-9).
A major rule of Bible study is not to isolate a verse, we are to compare "spiritual things with spiritual" (1 Corinthians 2:13) and if your entire foundation is based off of one verse, that's shaky and suspect to crumble
@@A_Mind_For_Change If you don't like Apostle Paul words about his Lord and Savior than read a fiction book
Ok why do you and all of the other "rightly dividing" promoters keep using Free Masonic hand gestures? Constantly, by the way-not just once in a while as perhaps innocent. No, you are constantly using Masonic hand gestures. Not listening to anyone who appears to be a fraud.
Victoria Bennet: I have no idea what Masonic hand gestures are. I oppose Free Masonry. I also, don't personally know of any other "rightly dividing" teachers connected to Free Masonry. I don't know a lot about Free Masonry, except that it's shrouded in secrecy and scripture teaches us to live and teach with open "manifestation of the truth".
I have always used my hands when talking, but I'm sorry if that bothers you.
Grace and Peace
Then why don't you just close your eyes or look at your own hands while you are listening? And what about if you were blind dear Victoria? You wouldn't know at all about this ''gesture''. Come on, we have to beleive by faith, not by sight!
I dont agree with you . You are not obeying God .
