Thank you for that video. Many of the things I have against the catholic church are in that video. We don't confess to a priest, we confess our sins to God, the father almighty. Prayer with repetition, such as hail Mary, is not what God wants to hear from us. He wants to hear our hearts. He wants a relationship with us, so our prayers should be personal, between God and ourselves. The body of Christ isn't a church. the body of Christ, the church, is us. Saying Hail Mary 5x is not a way to be absolved of our sins. We must work on our sins through repenting. Then God will forgive us. Not Father Ohnery. Jesus kept with the Jewish holy days, He spoke at Temple on sabbath. Sabbath is Saturday. The Catholic church changed it to Sunday. Not Jesus. Read your Bibles. King James version or New King James version. Nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus changed Sabbath to Sunday. Sabbath has always been on the last day of the week. Not the first. How can you follow the Ten Commandments if you do not keep God's Sabbath rest? There are some wonderful resources at TH-cam, and all around the internet. God bless you all. I ask Father God to open your eyes to the truth. In Jesus precious name, Amen
10.) Agreed that a church is a gathering of fellow believers and can be anywhere even in the homes of fellow believers. 9.) Since the bible teaches that God is a god of order and in acts 2:42 that the people devoted themselves to the teachings of the apostles. What the apostles taught came from God. So they were teaching the people about God, his kingdom, etc.... If it is not done in an orderly fashion then how can you learn anything at all. If it keeps changing like the wind then there is no order and nothing gets done. 8.) As far as preaching goes you are right everyone was commissioned to preach at the ascension of Christ. But still the church has to have leaders that are the ones that take up the role of teachers of the congregation. Because if they don't then there is no order in the church. That means someone that is just came into church to see what Christianity is all about. Someone that knows nothing at all about Christianity or the Christian religious denomination that he/she is attending would be called upon to teach that Sunday, which would be dangerous and wrong to do. When the person would be trying to teach others that doesn't know a thing about what he/she is teaching they could lead the group in the wrong direction. You can still have a part in building up the church without being a leader or co-leader. Think of the leader as the head. Now the feet which might be you can still build up the rest of the body. 1 Peter 2:9 is talking to people that are called to be the ones that will one day be co-rulers with Christ. An anointed group of Christ's followers. They are the little flock that Jesus talked about that goes to heaven. Whereas the rest will make up the great crowd that will be here on the earth that follow the lead of those anointed spiritual brothers that take the lead in worship. The only thing that titles should be used for is to denote the ones that take the lead in worship. Where they are still referred to as a brother, which is how my religion is ran. We have a body of elders that take the lead. Then they have others that they have prayerfully chosen that assist them they act like Deacons in other religions. 7.)Tithing actually comes from the Mosaic law and was fulfilled in the Christ and changed to what you mentioned in the video.
6.) For Christians Sabbath is a rest from dead works. Actually the sabbath for Jews wasn't all day Saturday. Instead it went from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday that was when the Jews observed the Sabbath. 5.) Agreed that the message of salvation is for all that want to be worshiping God for eternity. 4.) Even though no one is infallible. And there is nothing wrong with asking questions. But when the one doing the teaching teaches what the bible really teaches. Teaching the real truth about God, his kingdom, etc... then you should accept such a biblical teaching. We learn in a similar way that the Bereans learned about God. They just didn't accept Paul and Silas' word as fact, they examined the scriptures daily to see if those things were so and commended for doing so. 3.) It is true that women should have no leadership roles in the church. That is unless there are no unbaptized brothers in the congregation. Then one of the women has to take the lead and wear a head covering. This one is not a false teaching. The role that women have is a very important role in the church that doesn't include leadership. Instead they take the lead in preaching and teaching the good news. They are the large army of kingdom preachers because for many families the man is still the one that is the major bread winner of the family. So the wife is freed up to do the majority of the preaching work for the family. Sure the husband can do the work of preaching as well but cannot spend as much time as the wife can. Romans 16:1 only a few versions of the bible use the word deacon for Phoebe. The majority use the word servant which doesn't mean leader. Women can teach others the good news or correct wrong thinking all without actually teaching the congregation or taking leadership roles.
2.) Celibacy is a teaching that is a misunderstanding of what Paul was saying. He was teaching the Corinthian congregation that those that choose to stay single will do better in God's service because they have more time to devote to God. He wasn't requiring people that take leadership roles to be single. One of the Catholic bibles teaches at 1 Timothy 3:2 that a bishop should be a husband of one wife. I know that the Catholics teach that the wife of the priest is the church. The teaching that the bible teaches here is that bishops should know how to be the leaders of their own family that is not the whole congregation of God. If you cannot properly take care of your own family then how can you take care of the congregation. While the congregation is like a family but it is not the same as your personal fleshly family. Your fleshly family is only a part of the congregation instead of being the whole congregation. 1.) Depends on what you are talking about when you say judging others. The elders are suppose to make judgements concerning what others are doing when they are taking the wrong course of action. Then handle that wrong course of action accordingly. If the person will not repent and veer off of that wrong course of action and is a danger of leading the rest of the congregation stray then the elders must remove that person from the congregation. Then if that person repents later on they can be taken back into the congregation. If elders don't remove people that are a danger of leading others astray like the bible says should be done with unrepentant sinners then they become like the majority of churches that wink at immorality or other sins that unrepentant sinners commit. That shows hypocrisy that even Gandhi noticed during his day.
There is perhaps no more hotly debated issue in the church today than the issue of women serving as pastors. As a result, it is very important to not see this issue as men versus women. There are also women who believe women should not serve as pastors and that the Bible places restrictions on the ministry of women, and there are men who believe women can serve as pastors and that there are no restrictions on women in ministry. This is not an issue of chauvinism or discrimination. It is an issue of biblical interpretation. The Word of God proclaims, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In the church, God assigns different roles to men and women. This is a result of the way mankind was created and the way in which sin entered the world (1 Timothy 2:13-14). God, through the apostle Paul, restricts women from serving in roles of teaching and/or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors over men, which definitely includes preaching to them, teaching them publicly, and exercising spiritual authority over them. There are many objections to this view of women in pastoral ministry. One objection to this interpretation of women in pastoral ministry is in relation to women who held positions of leadership in the Bible, specifically Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah in the Old Testament. It is true that these women were chosen by God for special service to Him and that they stand as models of faith, courage, and, yes, leadership. However, the authority of women in the Old Testament is not relevant to the issue of pastors in the church. The New Testament Epistles present a new paradigm for God’s people-the church, the body of Christ-and that paradigm involves an authority structure unique to the church, not for the nation of Israel or any other Old Testament entity. Similar arguments are made using Priscilla and Phoebe in the New Testament. In Acts 18, Priscilla and Aquila are presented as faithful ministers for Christ. Priscilla’s name is mentioned first, perhaps indicating that she was more prominent in ministry than her husband. Did Priscilla and her husband teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to Apollos? Yes, in their home they “explained to him the way of God more adequately” (Acts 18:26). Does the Bible ever say that Priscilla pastored a church or taught publicly or became the spiritual leader of a congregation of saints? No. As far as we know, Priscilla was not involved in ministry activity in contradiction to 1 Timothy 2:11-14. In Romans 16:1, Phoebe is called a “deacon” (or “servant”) in the church and is highly commended by Paul. But, as with Priscilla, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate that Phoebe was a pastor or a teacher of men in the church. “Able to teach” is given as a qualification for elders, but not for deacons (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6-9). The structure of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 makes the reason why women cannot be pastors perfectly clear. Verse 13 begins with “for,” giving the “cause” of Paul’s statement in verses 11-12. Why should women not teach or have authority over men? Because “Adam was created first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived” (verses 13-14). God created Adam first and then created Eve to be a “helper” for Adam. The order of creation has universal application in the family (Ephesians 5:22-33) and in the church. The fact that Eve was deceived is also given in 1 Timothy 2:14 as a reason for women not serving as pastors or having spiritual authority over men. This does not mean that women are gullible or that they are all more easily deceived than men. If all women are more easily deceived, why would they be allowed to teach children (who are easily deceived) and other women (who are supposedly more easily deceived)? The text simply says that women are not to teach men or have spiritual authority over men because Eve was deceived. God has chosen to give men the primary teaching authority in the church. Many women excel in gifts of hospitality, mercy, teaching, evangelism, and helping/serving. Much of the ministry of the local church depends on women. Women in the church are not restricted from public praying or prophesying (1 Corinthians 11:5), only from having spiritual teaching authority over men. The Bible nowhere restricts women from exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12). Women, just as much as men, are called to minister to others, to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and to proclaim the gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15). God has ordained that only men are to serve in positions of spiritual teaching authority in the church. This is not because men are necessarily better teachers or because women are inferior or less intelligent (which is not the case). It is simply the way God designed the church to function. Men are to set the example in spiritual leadership-in their lives and through their words. Women are to take a less authoritative role. Women are encouraged to teach other women (Titus 2:3-5). The Bible also does not restrict women from teaching children. The only activity women are restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors to men. This does not make women less important, by any means, but rather gives them a ministry focus more in agreement with God’s plan and His gifting of them.
The unfortunate error that many churches in modern America have made is actually making an effort to appeal to outsiders rather than disciple and challenge the believers within. “Seeker sensitivity” generally produces a watering down of God’s Word.
I 100% agree. While we shouldn’t turn away outsiders, seeker sensitivity has done a lot of damage to the Church. We start to care about quantity instead of quality. In other words, we care more about the size of the congregation, but not their souls or like you said discipling them.
I am a 74 year old Catholic and have always gone to Mass and never seen anybody removed from the Catholic Church or not allowed into the Church other than covid I would have to say it hurts when you see good clergy been treated like rubbish by clergy who openly commit mortal sin .

Religion has everything to do with it, as Christ tells us in Matt. 5 that His followers must live by the Law and the Prophets. That was not a recommendation or a suggestion. That was an order.
Right, because after there is a relationship through faith believing, there is then true religion which has feet, "visiting the fatherless (orphans) and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27.

@@johnflorio3576 I thought the estimates were closer to 45k plus. Makes me think of texts like 1 Corinthians 1:10 and Philippians 2:2 as having very little application in our time considering the exorbitant amount of denominations claiming to be Christian.

Not only that, there is a vast misunderstanding of what the Tithe really is. The Tithe is not 10% of your INCOME, it is 10% of your GAIN. These are not the same.
It wasn't money either, it was a the first portion of the produce you made, whether it was crops, bread, wine, goods, etc. Later in the old testament it changed when the (second) temple was built. People sold their goods for currency, then exchanged that currency at the front outside of the temple for temple coins which would be the offering. Those are the exchange tables Jesus flipped in his rage against the temple desecration.
@@Old_Viking_65 No, Abraham may be a good example to us, but Abraham was not commanded to tithe. He did so as a voluntary thing, which is exactly what is *_taught_* (not *_commanded_* ) in the New Testament. In the New Covenant, there is no *_requirement_* to give ANYTHING.
Tithing was in the Old Testament, and it was to fund the activities of the non-landed Levite tribe. While some of the Levites served as priests in the tabernacle, not all of them did this, at least not constantly. Levites, who were literate, also served as scribes and record keepers and performed functions that we attribute to _government_ today. So, keep that in mind when you complain about taxes. Also remember that in Numbers 31, the gold that was taken in war was to be given to the tabernacle/temple to make public works. Also remember that the crops in the Corners of the Fields were to be left for the hungry. The percentage is debated, but it basically means that you need to give or accept that some of your production or income must be given or allowed to be given to the needy.
_Levites, who were literate, also served as scribes and record keepers and performed functions that we attribute to government today. So, keep that in mind when you complain about taxes._ Oh no, please tell me you are not comparing the tithe sacrifice with our modern bloated tax system. That would be like comparing the manna the children of Israel received in the wilderness with a full course Thanksgiving feast that we would enjoy today.
Thou shalt not murder was also in the OT but we still follow it to this day. Tithing is and ways was designed by God for us to prove to Him that we put Him first. This is why we are to give of the first fruits of our INCOME. We put Him first in what is most important in our lives and He then blesses the other 90% AND rebukes the devourer on our behalf.
You forgot the biggest belief of all… Say a little prayer and you are saved. Nowhere in scripture is this observed, nowhere did anyone utter such a prayer or call for such a prayer. It’s a human invention leaving many still in sin and unsaved. Yet if you look throughout the New Testament, particularly the book of Acts, we find many repenting (turning away from their sin toward God), being baptised (fully immersed in water) for the forgiveness of their sin and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:37-39; Romans 6; Colossians 2:11-15. There are many others besides. So we see the fundamental importance of realising our sin before God (and our complete inadequacy of dealing with it our own way), turning away from our sin and being baptised (leaving our sin in the grave and rising up with Christ anew) for the forgiveness of our sin and being filled with God’s Spirit helping us walk in new life with Him. It’s not a prayer that saves us, it’s an act of our will to change. Change on His terms, in accordance with scripture.
Lets continue to read the verse you gave Colossians to 19 "and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God" what is the body? Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" what religion saved for sacrifices? Romans 16:16 "Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you".
If " Say a little prayer and you are saved " is not continued on with what the scriptures tell you then you are deceiving many new believers .Matthew 28:19-20 King James Version 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark 16:15-16 King James Version 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. So we see that the "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching.
@ hi Bruce, thanks for your reply. So I’m not sure whether you agree with me or not. It’s kinda hard to understand where you are coming from. If you have said a prayer asking Jesus into your heart, then in accordance with what we see in scripture, you are not saved. Even the scriptures you have presented agree with the scriptures I have posted and none of them point to to a prayer that leads to salvation or forgiveness of sin. If you are saying that I am disregarding discipleship, I am not, it is vital. However, in order for discipleship to take place, a biblical conversion must be in place first.
@@integritech-whakatane3686 "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of, is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching. So i agree with you it is not a simple prayer that saves it is what the scriptures teach . Acts 16:29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. So no ,there is not the simple prayer to be said and suddenly you are a born again believer. The scriptures are clear that you need teaching after you ask Jesus into your life , confessing Him as Lord and repenting of the direction you are currently, as a non believer , on .Acts 3:19 what bad grammar did I miss a spell check?
@ Awesome, we agree, though sadly many don’t. With regard to bad grammar, I think more lack of punctuation in the first sentence threw me a little. All good though. Have an awesome day bro!
Phoebe was never a Deacon neither did Paul address her as a Deacon but as " a sister" , we all know the qualifications of a Deacon, must be a man of one wife ... Stop twisting Paul's writings, Priscilla on the other hand were aware of Paul's teachings of women keeping silent in the church,that is why verse 26...' they took him unto THEM ' if you carefully look in any bible you will realize the word THEM is in italics or bold , meaning privately.but not in the synagogue Infront of the people, your No 3 is not a teaching at all pull it down 🚮
The fact that you commented in this manner makes the video a whole lot more relevant. It seems the video struck a nerve and I highly recommend that you search the scriptures and pray about how this video made you feel. You are also at liberty to ignore this 🙂
Okay, let's all calm down. The Bible doesn't specify what makes a deacon. And that topic is not what's important right now. What is being said is that women are absolutely allowed to serve in the church as well as men. All of us, male and female, are made in God's image and He does not think of one gender less capable than the other.
As Paul's letter to the Romans contains, he shows trust and authority to Phoebe, a “diakonos (deacon) of the church at Cenchreae.”, who held a respected ministry role. As Paul's letter to Titus and first letter to Timothy contains, a deacon (male or female that teaches and guides others) must have spiritual fidelity and commitment (marital or single) qualifications...with an example of a dedicated husband of one wife. Priscilla, along with her husband Aquila, privately taught Apollos, a well-versed preacher. The phrase “they took him aside” shows spiritual maturity (e.g. not making a public spectacle of one of his shortcomings at that time). The word “them” in italics or bold indicates a word added by translators to clarify the sentence, not to imply secrecy. This joint teaching shows Paul’s approval (and God's will) of women teaching, especially when paired with other respected believers. The entire Bible (both Old and New Testament) contain God's will for all-of-time and situational (for just that time). Paul’s teachings on women remaining silent in the church was situational because at that time in Corinth, unrestrained participation was causing disorder (1 Corinthians 14:33). Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia (Romans 16:7), and other women had significant ministry roles in the early church. Hope this helps and Amen!
What is a deacon? God's 'gofer', go for, a helper. While it is important, don't magnify it into a five fold ministry office. I'm not saying any of you are, but when listening or reading what people write, at times it seems like they are attempting to magnify it to a higher authority/position than it is.
@@danielwilkinson1024 Agreed. With Christianity, titles should only be a result of that human's current state of being (thus current abilities...including how the Holy Spirit uniquely works in that Christian). Just like how beings (God, angels, humans) have names, when used according to God's will, titles help in uniting and doing God's will together (preaching, teaching, learning, etc).
One thing I seen a lot of Baptists do was say just because I prayed once I got saved once means I’m saved for the rest of my life “I was saved by grace, and once saved always saved”
@@JamesThomas-dn6hz if you mean that “what you said is correct” is that you mean I’m correct by me saying “I was saved by grace, and once saved always saved” is a lie, it’s not in the bible, you are saved by grace but you can become unsaved again, read II Peter 2: 18-22
Let the word of God once and for all dispense with the notion that once we are saved, we are always saved. That is a lie from Hell and here is the truth from the Bible: John 10:28-29 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand." Verse 28 MUST be considered in light of verse 27: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." The true followers of Jesus - 1) hear His voice (the context here is that they not only hear, but listen intently), 2) He knows them (the context here is that Jesus knows they are true followers) and 3) they follow Him. It is the people who continue in these three conditions who have eternal life and cannot be snatched away. Let's look at more verses for what the Bible says about losing our salvation: 1) Hebrews 6:4-6 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. 2) 2 Peter 2:20-22 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.” 3) John 15:6 “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” We need to not just call on the name of the Lord, but remain in Him! 4) Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” This expand what it means for us to properly call on the Lord. It's not just saying the words, but submitting and staying submitted to the will of God. 5) 1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” So even after calling on the Lord and being saved, we can abandon that salvation and follow demons. 6) Matthew 24:13 “But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” What does that mean for the one that does not stand firm to the end? They will lose their salvation! 7) Luke 8:13 “Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.” We can call on the Lord and be saved, and then later lose faith and fall away. 8) 1 Corinthians 10:12 “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!” 9) Hebrews 10:26-27 “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.” After we have called on the Lord, we must not continue deliberately sinning or we will face the judgment and fire. 10) 1 John 2:24-25 “As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us - eternal life.” What about if what you have heard does NOT remain in you? You will NOT remain in the Son or the Father, or have eternal life. 11) 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us.” Doesn't get much clearer than that! 12) Hebrews 3:12 “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” Paul is warning believers to guard their hearts against unbelief that will turn them away from God and salvation. 13) Romans 11:22 “Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.” If we choose not to continue in the Kindness of God, we will be cut off. 14) Colossians 1:22-23 “But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- IF you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” This is a conditional promise that IF we choose to remain in the faith and not move out of it, we will be free from accusation. If we don't, we have stepped out of the covering of the blood of Jesus and stand our sins are open to accustation and punishment. 15) Philippians 2:12 “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence- continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Paul is clearly saying that salvation can be lost and needs to be continually worked out with fear and trembling (submission to God). 16) Jude 1:5 “Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.” Jude reminds the believers of God’s past judgments, highlighting that initial deliverance doesn’t guarantee future safety. Continued belief is crucial to avoid falling under judgment. 17) 1 Corinthians 15:2 “By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Another clear conditional promise that IF, after being saved, you hold firmly to the gospel, you remain saved. But IF you don't, you fall under judgment. 18) Romans 11:20-21 “Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.” Paul cautions against arrogance in our faith stance, urging a humble and trembling spirit. The fate of the natural branches (Israel) serves as a warning to us. 19) Mark 13:13 “Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” Jesus is telling believers that only those who stand firm to the end will believe. So clearly if we walk away from Him, our salvation is lost! 20) 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test?” Paul is warning believers in the church to keep testing themselves, that they remain in the faith and not fall away.
Absolutely correct. All the women are "ministers" but not within the congregation. This part about Phoebe refers to what she does outside, like preaching to the public or assisting others in spiritual activities or physical needs. Paul never said to receive any instructions from her but rather _"to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me."_ (Romans 16:2) A benefactor is someone who gives money or other help to a person or cause. It does not mean someone taking the lead.
1 Timothy 3:12-13 [12]Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. [13]For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
The office of deacon is reserved to men. It is a function inside the Church. Yes, the term means servant, but no woman can meet the qualifications Paul laid out.
3:12 for the ppl who are taught they MUST tithe, yes it is good, and yes it does allow God to bless you financially, but once while I was in the struggle of falling into lust, I was at church and I pulled out a $10 for offering and the ushers passed over me, I felt bummed bc I wanted to give but I couldn’t, then right then i felt God say to me, “I want your body, not your money”, if we aren’t submitting ourselves to him, treating ourselves as a temple, then the rituals are dead, bc our heart isn’t in it if that makes sense, “I can give all my money to the poor, and have my body burned, but if I have not love it profits me nothing” if your heart isn’t loving God as you should, then even if you drop 50% of your paycheck to the church, will profit you nothing bc YOU are what builds the church, your money is material, yes it can help provide for those in need, but even wicked guve to the poor and yet profit nothing but a gold sticker for good works
You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. Matthew 23:23
Aye. This is also what Jesus says about offerings in Matthew 5:24 basically, and well, other places too. There are quite a few passages in the gospels about offerings, several of them in the context of the pharisees and sadducees as well. And then there is that passage about the woman at the temple who gave more out of her poverty than everyone else did out of their riches. Anyways, I think what you say is right and makes alot of sense.
I recall the teaching that God loves a cheerful giver, as stated in 2 Corinthians 9:7. He does not need our money, for He is self-sufficient, but offerings are meant to benefit us spiritually. They allow us to participate in God's work, reflect His generosity, and experience the blessings that come from giving, a fruit that is pleasing and desirable to the Lord :)
@@Άθελι-παιδί-του-Θεού So are we to give to get blessings or give because it is the right thing to do? God loves a cheerful giver and the mainstream churches tell you to tithe and give for blessings and prosperity . The mainstream churches do not put an emphasis on giving out of love but more out of commitment.
The understanding that I got from the Bible was that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Sabbath. The Messianic Age was considered by Jews to be one long Sabbath. No, the Sabbath isn't abolished; it is definitely fulfilled, but by Christ in you. Example: A man becomes indwelt by the Spirit on Wednesday night. He wakes up on Thursday, but dies that day. He had no chance to observe the Sabbath, because he died before it came. Yet on his great white throne judgment, he is regarded by God as having fulfilled the whole law, including the Sabbath. Why, if he never observed a Sabbath? Because Christ in him fulfilled it.
Then why were the disciples meeting on Sunday in the book of Acts ? Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
@@LovelyCamel-zb7iz quote---Yet on his great white throne judgment, he is regarded by God as having fulfilled the whole law, including the Sabbath. Why, if he never observed a Sabbath?

Why did the Apsotles KEEP the Sabbath and TEACH the Sabbath in Acts ? Why did Paul keep the Sabbath in Acts??? Did Jesus NEGLECT to tell ANYONE the Sabbath was abolished at the cross??? That WOULD MAKE Jesus a SINNER by omission!! Think about that!!! Why are we to keep the Sabbath in heaven? Why does the bible say that we should hope not have to escape on the Sabbath at time of tribulation?? >>>>AND--Are you saying Jesus fulfilled ALL the 613 Mosaic laws??
There is a lot in this video that requires "fleshing out." No scripture stands apart from any other. The error with videos such as this is that they rely on one scripture verse, or location, to build their premise upon...it amounts to a shaky foundation. Might I suggest that the whole word of God be utilized to establish the will of the Father...and where there is silence, then we, too, must remain silent.
what are you trying to say ?...am confused...so tgis vudeo is misleading or ?...kindly provide the clarification for all the 10 tging he just mentioned..thabk you..
@@crazypotato4451 It is what I said...the subjects are lightly covered...not much one can do in a 7:38 minute video...folks need to dig into God's word, the Holy bible...cross reference scripture...do a systematic study, including what the Greek and Hebrew (Paleo, also) words, and the parts of those words, meant during biblical times...their living day to day customs and manners, etc...let me give an example: The head of the household is sitting at table, having been served by a servant...midway through the head gets up, after folding his napkin and placing it beside his plate...what does that mean? Jesus did just such an act at the Last Supper...does this mean every elder, bishop, pastor, leader must also fold their napkin and place it on the table prior to leaving, as if they are finished? It seems there are those who might assume so...but let's look behind the custom and manner, shall we? It was the custom that if the head waded-up his napkin and tossed it in his plate it meant that he was finished, and that the servant could clear the head's plates, cups, bowls from the table; however, if the napkin is neatly folded and placed on the table it means that the head is not finished and that he would be returning...Jesus was saying, "I'll be back." Not the Arnold Schwarzenegger style of "I'll be back," but that He, Jesus is going to return. If you do not know the manners and customs of bible lands, times and people, it is easy to miss the subtleties of the text...there are hidden treasures, jewels, hidden in God's word...like God is whispering to us...Proverbs 25:2 KJV "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: But the honour of kings is to search out a matter." God is drawing us into a deeper study of Him, His will, His purpose and direction for us...The Lord wants a personal relationship with each and everyone of us...not some casual see you for an hour on some specified day of the week, and then to go about our way as if He did not exist the rest of the time...that is no way to live...to live for the Lord Jesus Christ is to walk side by side...to actually hear what He says in His word, and then to apply that Word to our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit in us...yep, when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to take up residency in your life...He is the stamp that seals one to the day of redemption...The Holy Spirit is our guide, our comforter...all that I have written herein, is in God's word... Here is a poem/prose that someone penned long ago...I have modified it to fit my walk with Jesus. I hope it adds to your understanding of what it is like to walk in the Lord: FOOTPRINTS...A New Version Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. (This is exactly my experience with Jesus - nothing quiet or off in the corner about it.) For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently...You and Jesus are walking as true friends! This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one…This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints.. They have become one. This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends. Now you pray: 'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.' 'That is correct.' 'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely…' 'Very good.. You have understood everything so far…' When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.' 'Precisely.' 'So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.' There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice, “You didn't know? It was then that we danced!” ☝ It is all about discovery; learning with the Lord as guide. TH-cam videos may be spot on, but all too frequently they fall terribly short...that is what has taken place here...and "too short" simply does not measure up to what our Lord wants for you and for each of his kids. Get into His word, get into a personal relationship with Him where you walk beside Him, then into His footprints, then...you dance.
For a deep dive into egalitarianism vs complementarianism see Mike wingers series. The conclusion is that complementarianism is the correct view. That means that women can do most things in the church. The only thing they cannot do is hold a teaching or spiritual role over men.
@@geraldbritton8118 "Complementarianism" is rubbish. It confuses the difference between *the marital relationship* (which a married person is in with his/her spouse, therefore is unique in a married Christian's life) and *societal relationships* which means all other relationships which are not marriage (with one or more people of either/both gender(s), because societal relationships are not sexual). The martial relationship is 'somewhat complementarian' (but not completely so, because no human can totally complete another human, only God can complete any person). Marriage is the only human-human relationship which is 'somewhat complementarian'. Societal relationships are (or should be) egalitarian (because of Galatians 3:28, and because of Christ's command to "love your neighbour AS YOURSELF"). Complementarianism is totally inappropriate to societal relationships. We are born equal. We Christians are 'born again equal' in Christ. The thing that makes marriage so unequal is "contractual obligations" which are a consequence of the marriage contract (which spouses enter into when they marry). They were not bound by those contractual obligations before they married, and when the marriage comes to an end, they are not bound by those contractual obligations from that time onwards. The contractual obligations only apply to the parties to the contract - within marriage - therefore do not apply outweith marriage (to anyone who is not a party to the contract). Pedants, please note: a covenant is a type of contract. So the fact that marriage is a "covenant" does not stop marriage also being a "contract". It's just a specialised contract, but it's still a contract.
This is a very masculinist view, seeing things in hierarchical terms and 'correct' versus 'incorrect' teachings. It's not a competition, guys!! I would like to recommend an informed woman's point of view, presenting the case against complementarianism in a nuanced way. Try Marg Mowczko.
As a woman I and others want men to faithfully lead. There is plenty of ways to minister in the Body of Christ . Children's ministry...women's ministry, feeding the poor...! The sin nature of women makes them want to be the boss!
“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12).
Context bud. The audience here is Timothy, who is church planting in Ephesus. The Church in Ephesus is being targeted by false teachers, perhaps specifically the women in this specific Church. The word here is not simply "exercise authority." It would also be valid to translate αὐθεντέω "violently domineer." This word is literally used in some places for murder. So why is Paul talking about women not having violent dominion? It's not like he lets men have that either, after all. Ephesus is the center of the cult of Artemis. Like, wonder of the world scale temple, problems happen as soon as Paul gets there in Acts. Her cult is everywhere in this city, and disconnecting from it to convert to Christianity is difficult and costly, and returning to it would be a constant temptation. In that cult, women did indeed exercise violent dominion over men. And Artemis was the goddess women would appeal to for safety and childbirth. So we can be pretty confident that Paul is responding to some issue involving the cult of Artemis. Paul is telling Timothy that Christianity needs to be distinct from the cult of Artemis, you can't mix the two, have one foot in each religion, or import practices from the cult. Women can't mistreat men any more than men can mistreat women, and new converts from that cult don't need to be taught until they have learned. But you also can't Misogynistically ignore women who are being given false teachings; women absorbing false teachings can be catastrophic, as it was with Eve. If women are worried about safety in childbirth, let them live right before God rather than appeal to Artemis. Remember, Paul is not Jesus. Paul lives in a specific context. Jesus did and also did not. He welcomed women into ministry and leadership the same as men. The early church, especially in Rome, was a collaborative effort between men and women. If you want to exclude women from leadership, by all means, but you'll only get half the story.
@ you ignored the entire part where it says something akin to “so it was eve who were supposed to be blamed, and not Adam, because she was lied to by the devil first and accepted it.” So basically it was never something that targeted a specific “context”, it was a broad denial of women interms of authority and leadership, and I’m doing just that.
Yes woman aren’t to be head of the church or household. This guy is wrong in saying women can lead a church. Woman can run Sunday schools or a woman’s Bible study. That’s all.
Not only are ministers preaching doctrines that are not found in the Bible, but they are also preaching doctrines which their denomination has published official positions on, saying "this doctrine is wrong." Pastors, all paid staff, and even the church board do not know their own denomination's official position on a large number of doctrines. A person should never assume a pastor knows his denomination's official position on any doctrine or that he is willing to conform to his denomination's official position, even if he knows it. Several denominations have a Department of Doctrinal Purity, and they can be alerted to a pastor whose teachings are "off" and issue him an official letter of correction. If the pastor continues advocating this doctrine, especially if he does this in publications or books he has written, his license will be revoked. The denomination cannot allow their brand to be on something that does not match their brand. A pastor who receives repeated letters of correction will cause the denomination to realize "this guy is not going to meet in the middle" and they will revoke his license. However....even though I recognize this problem, I also know denominations can correct pastors when there is no biblical support for the correction. Denominations can be wrong, too. "Social dancing" is a sin that the video leaves out, that some denominations call a sin. It, of course, appears nowhere in the Bible. Tobacco use occurs 0.0 times in the Bible, yet many denominations call it a sin. It should be noted that in North America, during the time of the 13 Colonies (prior to the American Revolution), the ministers were paid their salary in tobacco, because it was worth more than paper or coin money. So the church went from paying its ministers in tobacco to forbidding members from using tobacco. The scripture did not change; the church changed.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:9-12
You are correct on all points ‘except’ #3. A woman is not permitted to preach in the church. Pay close attention to the words “a command of the Lord” below……… 1 Corinthians 14:33-37 ESV For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. If you acknowledge the Apostle Paul, he explicitly states it is a ‘command of the Lord. Culture has nothing to do with it. God Bless!
God has a preference for a man to teach. However, there may exist exceptions. There was a missionary story which was told to me in which a woman missionary was the one who made the effort to learn the language of the tribe, and do all the missionary work in a difficult jungle location where no one wanted to travel. So this one woman taught the Word of God to the whole tribe...even the tribal elders. Now would it have been better for a man to have taught them? Of course. But there were no men available who knew the language like she did, so it was she who persisted in this job. She said that she expected some man to come and take her place one day, but no man ever did, because they didnt want to travel to her jungle location and learn the language. After a while, I'm sure some of the tribesmen took on leadership roles themselves, but it was only after being properly equipped by this woman missionary. So here's the concept I want you all to grasp...while God prefers a man to teach, there exist some situations in which it is ok for the woman to preach and teach as well. Often this is because there are no other options for the preaching and teaching. To a lesser extent, this can also be true of teaching the "women's groups" in the church today. Who among the men feels called to teach a womens-only group? Not that many. This is why we have the typical woman teacher for the woman's group. Because the men don't "feel called" to it. If the woman didn't teach, there would BE no group teacher. I strongly believe that there needs to be tolerance in the church for exceptions like these to exist, especially in cases where a woman is, in fact, properly trained in the bible.
Great point -but exceptions are not the rule. You can say that if there is no man properly trained to preach/lead a church then a woman should be appointed. I guess the problem with that exception is you have a church that is being lead by a woman -and that is not what Priscilla and Aquila was called to do neither did Jesus call a woman to be a disciple even though He appeared to women first when he was resurrected. Nor doe this exception bring into call the scripture that says a woman should not usurp a man’s authority (1 Timothy 2:12). I welcome your thoughts with grace and understanding..
Thanks for saying this! I thought the same thing. Important and faithful women in the New Testament played specific roles alongside their husbands. They were not overseers (pastors).
Yes, and Romans 16:1 is better translated to “servant” of the church rather than Deacon. 1 Timothy 4:6 Paul calls Timothy the same Greek word διάκονος - Timothy was associated with the church in Ephesus but was not a Deacon .
From my personal experience with the Lord, I have tithed faithfully. I know there is a lot of strife in the comments concerning tithing, but the Lord has blessed others through the tithes I have given obediently and has always more than fulfilled my needs. As a challenge to your faith, just tithe. Your walk with God will change. You'll be so much more aware of God's blessings (Malachi 3:10). You will come to feel intimately closer to God and realize that your giving is an act of faith, like the widow who gave two copper coins.
Yup. When the holy Spirit came upon me as a brand new Christian the first thing I heard was to start giving. Been a faithful tither for 20+ years now. Thanks Lord
You can call it tithes, offering, whatever you decide to call it, but in the New Testament, Paul explains we’re no longer under the law, which coerced man to give, now we are to give freely from our abundance and be a cheerful giver. God honors the obedient, cheerful giver.
My boyhood church taught its adherents to pray to Mary and the saints never explaining that neither she or they had God's attributes of omnipresence omnipotence and all knowledge.
I believe we had same childhood church. The other day, worrying about a feral cat & kittens in my care, I thought I'd say a quick prayer to St Francis of Assisi.....& quickly corrected my "routing" sending my request to my Father through his Son, my Savior who is there ALWAYS, & can ALWAYS handle our prayer requests, big & small! As far as Francis, I'll admire/try to emulate his walk w our LORD-but leave my worship & requests to Jesus, God the Father & the Holy Spirit. Exclusively.
I liked the lesson that you teach. My daddy was a preacher for 34 years. I read his sermons on a FB page. I've heard the sermons many times but reading them aloud I learned a lot more. My favorite one was about the women of the Bible. No woman betrayed Jesus and the woman at the well was the first missionary as she went into town to tell them about Jesus.
The Greek word used for deacon (in regards to Phoebe), is also used of Jesus in John. It can simply mean servant. Jesus was not a deacon in a church! 1 Timothy 2 is 100% clear. This guy has discredited himself here!
Women own companies. Women employ men. Women run governments. Schools. Hospitals. Why are you so afraid of women leading you in church ? You don’t have an older sister or mother you listen to? No aunts ? No older woman has authority over you? That means you refuse to submit to those in authority over you.
@@lovegod8582Exactly. 1 Timothy 3:12 says “ Deacons must be husbands of one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.” If women could be deacons then it would seem this verse would say “deacons must be a husbands or wives of either one wife or husband.” Also 1 Timothy 2:12 clearly states “But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.”
1 Timothy 2:12 ⬇️ 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. Why? For cultural reasons? NO… because of the order of creation. This applies to all cultures at all times ⬇️ 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. (1 Timothy 2:13-14) It’s sad when you have to convince people that the Bible means what it says.
1. Judge those within the Church, not outside the Church. To judge and excommunicate or kick out is medicinal, it is to heal the person that is committing sin to seek forgiveness and return to God.
@ritchievernon8099 "The idea of gathering together is so that unsaved people can gather with you as well that they might become saved! " Where do you find that taught or practiced in Scripture?
No it’s not. If you lived in a time where worshipping Christ was punishable by death by crucification, boiled in oil, flayed, thrown off a cliff or turned into a Roman candle, you would not be running around telling everyone to come where you gather. You would have wanted to make sure they accepted the gospel first. It was a capital offense to worship Jesus. Becoming a Christian back then was a death sentence. Just as it is today for converts from Islam.
Church is for believers so they can be filled with God and go out to love and serve others. Christians make disciples through relationships. After a relationship is formed they can come to Church.
I was surprised to find Christmas is not mentioned as a feast in the Bible. After research I found it was a pagan festival covered up by re branding it as celebration of Christ's birth. He was not born in Winter and there are no instructions to celebrate His birth in the Bible, we are only instructed to to take the bread and wine as believers in remembrance of His body and blood given for us. I no longer celebrate c?mas.
Sooo, what if my husband would skip church if I didn’t speak up and say “ Let’s go to church “? This argument is ludicrous. Not every man is perfect, sometimes it takes a woman to motivate him. I had a coworker whose husband was a leader with Campus Crusade at the local university. Guess what? He was arrested and incarcerated for raping women at night in their homes, so, sorry, men will not rule over women, even in the church. 🤷🏽♀️
@primitivedaisy Ma'am. You're right. Your argument is ludicrous. 1) Talking your husband into going to church, isn't preaching or teaching in a public setting. 2) A criminal is a criminal. Doesn't matter who he works for and doesn't change God's commands. AND, last, but not least 3) No one said anyone should " rule" over anyone. We all have our jobs to do, and God, who created us, designed us for specific roles. Doesn't mean men are better than women or women should be treated like 2nd class citizens. Simple comparison. A 4WD p/u is created to roll through the woods on dirt roads or no roads. A Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, ain't. MOST people think the Silver Shadow is a " better car". BUT, if you have to drive 10 miles through a track less wilderness, that Shadow ain't gonna get it done. If a woman tries to pastor a church? The job just ain't gonna be done, Ma'am. Being " equal" doesn't mean we should all be able to do the same thing. And, not doing the same thing doesn't mean men are better than women, or vice versa.Just different..

4:05. You have to make sure that there is an inner sanctum of fellowship where believers are nurtured. Yes, we are to interact with unbelievers and even invite them to our gatherings, but the fellowship of the church needs to retain the key mission of nurturing believers. 5:26 female leadership has clear scriptural bounds. Women are equal heirs of salvation and can be greatly gifted and as wise as any man, but Paul never allowed women authority over men in the churches he started. 6:24. Unfortunately there is much judgment in church, the reasons for this are complex. It is important to remember that Jesus also never waters down the impact of sin, all are called to repentance. We can then walk with a clean conscience before God.
An important thing about "women in leadership" is that yes, women can and should have a standing in church leadership, but their roles or what they should or could do are separate from what men can. A woman can't fill the role of priest or deacon; she can, however, fill the role of a mother superior or a nun/sister. The same goes for the opposite; a man can't be a nun or mother superior, but he can be a priest or deacon. Everyone is created in the image and likeness of God and should be equally respected. However, it's essential to recognize that although we're all equal, we still have strengths and weaknesses. We should focus on building up our strengths and using them to serve God instead of focusing on weaknesses to either put others down or as a vain attempt to be "perfect." The ideal setup (based on the bible) would be that men take on the "main" leadership roles that have to do more with teaching the word of God and more traditionally "masculine" tasks, and women would help on the more charity-focused or "feminine" front and would be there to tell the men when they're being stupid or what the people's needs are. (Like how Mary told Jesus that they needed more wine at the wedding and insisted on it even when he said, "his time hadn't come") TLDR: The men are the "builders," and the women are the ones telling them what needs to be built. (And to clarify, in case anyone gets mad, the "stupid" part is a joke. I just mean when they need a reality check or get too caught up in their pride to see their errors or other people's needs.) (Also, the wedding example is just an example of a woman directing a man or men. I'm not saying Jesus was being prideful or stupid. That in itself would be prideful and stupid)
That's true! It can be hard to hear sometimes, because we often (wrongly) think that one role is fundamentally more important than another, and because we do not tend to like the idea that our abilities are limited or predestined without our input; but just because something is hard to hear, or even offensive, is not reason to reject it! Romans 12:4-5: "For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." 1 Corinthians 12:17-20: "If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body." If an ear tries to be an eye, it will not be very effective, and neither will an eye that tries to hear. But with each person fulfilling the role they were designed for, everyone is fulfilled and The Body functions smoothly. Another problem is that, while the role of women in The Church is _far_ from the most important issue at hand, many churches that reject one teaching because it is uncomfortable also tend to reject others, or even commit apostasy.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera you're a miracle.
Praise be to God for confirming what was revealed to me early in my faith! However let's make it clear that woman should not pastor or hold authority over men as it was a command. Remember, the ends do not justify the means and God will not go against His own word
@@Depreezed God came as a burning bush, as a pillar of fire, as a man, and yet you are still doubting what our God is capable of? Was it not prophesized that He will come down to save humanity? If humanity could save itself then it would have done so by now and our God would be dwelling amongst us. God has made it relatively easy to come and be reconciled to Him but the hard part is sin reigning over us and causing us to continue to disobey. Faith is what pleases God, it is a form of obedience and worship that goes against our sin nature and it is a gift from God. May you ask Him for it, and believe in Jesus because there is no reason not to, I personally experienced the transformative power from the gospel that has saved me from destruction, both physically and spiritually
It's crazy in this day and age we still believe that the bible is Gods word, perfect and deserving of worship. Old testament and New testament has God words in them(which should be held in the highest regard) but large parts were not Gods direct word and only inspired by God. Crazy to not realize human nature and customs heavily impacted the OT laws and the letters of Paul. Want proof? Read the 613 OT laws and I dare you to tell me those are universal and will stand for all time and were not impacted by the Israelite/Jewish religious politicians and customs. The first 10 will make since forever, the other 603 are mixed with questionable laws. More proof? Read the 4 gospels and then read the letters of Paul, they are very different and you can easily tell that there is a different message and that Paul's previous role as a pharisee is more than apparent. Also, do you know who was the first person to spread the good news? Mary.... Crazy to think the majority of people think that if a women devotes her life to God and decides to preach and devote their life to the spreading of good news, God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are angered in heaven... Sounds a lot like the yeast of the pharisees are among us today.
@@Άθελι-παιδί-του-Θεού thats not written in the bible. Jesus is not a god according to him. I Timothy 2:4-7 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle-I am telling the truth, I am not lying-and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
I was with you right up until the subject of women pastoring in the church. The Bible is very clear that women are not to hold these positions, it has nothing to do with culture. Not even every man can hold those positions. The letters written to Timothy and Titus are very clear about the set up of the church. Paul goes as far as to take it back to Adam being created, then Eve, which eliminates the interpretation of culture playing any part in it. 1 Corinthians is very clear as well. In most Bible versions, Phoebe is regarded as a servant, not a deacon. While there are women that played important roles in the 1st century church, not one assumed the role of a pastor, overseer, deacon, etc. We have to be careful about allowing our interpretations to contradict the Bible.
I think this is pretty great. There are a couple of things I think should be clarified, such as tithing being commanded in Malachi 3 in the Old Testament, but it’s pretty great to see someone putting lots of effort into this, and we have far more in common than differences.♥️
The Catholic church actually changed the Sabbath from Saturday for Sunday and has explicitly said that they did this as a MARK of their authority; so yeah, if you're a Sunday worshipper, you're honoring a Catholic change. Later, Protestants (those Protesting the Catholic church's beliefs) broke from the Catholic church, but still kept the day of worship the same as when they changed it, but simply dropped other customs. Saturday still is and always will be the proper Sabbath (aka Sabbath in Spanish IS SABADO).
People in Gulf countries worship on Fridays .. place of Worship and day of Worship is not of much relevance now .. those that worship God must worship in spirit and in truth.
I know that woman (Maria Angelina Alexander) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
Scripture also says in a few passages woman should not take authority over men. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. - 1 Timothy 2:11-15

There are so many mistakes in this video. DO NOT trust a TH-cam video. Read the bible. The real one (KJV) and God will show you the truth. Put your trust in the real Word of God, not a video that a person has made.
@@gpknowles7174 The statements offered in the video make sense and are well motivated. I plan to consult AI on each issue to confirm. I need answers to each of the concepts. any published material should be investigated in any case.
The most serious fallacy I’ve encountered in church happened pretty recently. I discovered that within my church there is a serious belief that people are chosen to be Christians. I said you can’t be serious. I said do you know how many Pastors all across this country are trying to convince people of their assurance of salvation? I asked how do you know if you Are chosen? They said well you can’t. I actually was so floored by this that I became angry and stomped off. Later on the way home, God did reveal the truth to me and that was this who so ever Believeth. I don’t know what Paul was talking about and the other verses that mentioned being chosen in the Bible. But one thing I do know in my heart of hearts God did not create people just to burn in hell. People choose whether they know it or not to believe in God or not. My heart breaks for those who do not.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, - Ephesians 1:3-5
@@willIV9962 So many Calvinists quote this verse way too often. This verse doesn’t teach that God predestines some to heaven and others to hell. This verse makes it simple by assuring Christians that they have a promise from God that they will go to heaven when they die. That God will finish the good work within them that He started.
For that I always reference the verse about how God foreknew us. In other words, even if God does predestine us, it is based on Him knowing our choices ahead, not random chance. Therefore we still have free-will to give Him reason to pick us.
While I do agree with you, I recommend you research the ideas of predestination and calvinism vs arminianism in much more depth. There are a great many very wise Church leaders who believe in predestination of the elect, and, whether or not it is untrue, learning how they came to that conclusion as well as the good arguments for and against it is valuable theology.
I also disagreed with woman having church authority over a man in church 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy 3 tells us that women shouldnt be pastoring over any man but womens ministry only to the women believers
While you consider Pastor, also note that the term in the NT NEVER refers to what we call a pastor, rather it refers to a literal shepherd of the sheep or Christ himself. The plural of pastor (not the singular) occurs one time as a spiritual gift in Ephesians 4, which may be translated "pastors-and-teachers" or pastor-teachers. But in 1 Peter 5 the corresponding verb "to pastor" occurs as something that bishops=elders should do.
1 Timothy 2:11-14 says. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Paul wrote this, and Jesus affirmed Paul in this ministry after resurrecting from the dead. Women can serve in the church teaching other women and children, but are not to have authority over men. They can encourage and pray for men, but not lead them at all. The Lord says so in His Word.
the Greek word used is "gyné" Which means "wife". It does not mean "any woman, whether married or single", it specifically means "woman who is married". Adam & Eve were married to each other. Eve was a "wife".
@@p-a-m-channel2350 Wrong! See any lexicon, it will inform you that it (gyné) means 1. a woman of marriageable age and 2. wife. See for example Acts 22:4, Paul arrested "men and women (gynaikas)" Would you claim that Paul was only arresting husbands and wives? If gynaikas means wives then in 1 Tim 2:9 would you argue that only wives are to dress modestly, but that single women are free to show off the flesh in their dress? Paul is saying in 1 Tim 2 that mature women are not to teach or have authority. This command given with apostolic authority is not limited to the marriage relationship.
@@Wally-gm1pd That's where you (and the academic reference book which you are trusting, which is not the Bible) are wrong. "Gyné" does not mean "any woman of marriageable age, whether married or not". No first century Koiné Greek speaker would have misunderstood that word in that way. The proof is found in 1Corinthians 7:34. It says the wife and the unmarried woman are different, then goes on to explain how they are different from each other. "Gyné" is the word used for "wife". The difference is, that the "gyné" has a husband, therefore the "gyné" has less freedom, compared to "she who has no husband" who has more freedom than the "gyné". You can't get clearer than that (and it's scripture). "Gyné" means a woman who has a husband. A woman who has no husband is not a "gyné". (The word used for "female" in Galatians 3:28 is not "gyné", it is "thalé". "Thalé" means "anyone female, whether married or not". If Paul had wanted to forbid "anyone female, whether married or not" from speaking, he would have used the word "thalé" , but he did not forbid the "thalé" from speaking in church. Paul forbade the "gyné" (the married woman) from speaking (in church, in the presence of her husband while both are in public). See also Matthew 19:4-19:5. "Male" & "female" are "arsein" & "thalé" in verse 4. But in verse 5, "gynaikos" (accusative case of "gyné") is "wife". You can't get much clearer than that. The Greek-speaking recipients of Paul's letters did not need anyone to explain to them that "gyné" means "a married woman"/"a wife", because they already knew that. What they did not realise (therefore needed to have explained to them) was the practical consequences of being a "wife" (namely, that a "wife" (gyné) has less freedom than "she who has no husband"). You need to get yourself an Interlinear Literal Translation, if you study that, the matter becomes clear. Trinitarian Bible Society is one reputable publisher that supplies a good Interlinear translation of both OT and NT in one volume. Regarding Acts, it is quite possible that a Christian's wife would be arrested & jailed along with her husband. That's a reasonable translation of the verse. (It's not unusual for a criminal's family to be punished along with a criminal, in historic times. In the times of Charles Dickens, in England, the entire family of a debtor would go to the debtors prison along with their relative who owed the debt). Arresting the wife along with the husband added to the persecution being practiced by the authorities against Christians, it put more pressure on married Christians to apostatise, if they did not only have to think about their own personal safety. That's one reason why Paul told married Christians (in 1Corinthians 7) that if they have an unbelieving spouse, and the spouse wants to desert the Christian, the Christian should let the non-believing spouse go free. (Staying with a Christian spouse could mean life or death for the unbelieving spouse, when anti-Christian persecution was going on). 1Corinthians 7 (the whole chapter) gives a lot of insight into how difficult being married was, for Christians during a time when the civil and Jewish authorities were practicing active & widespread persecution against Christians. Regarding the clothing, unmarried women dressed more modestly than wives, so did not need to be told to dress modestly, because they already did so. There's two types of modesty: sexual modesty and financial modesty. Braided hair was a reference to sexual modesty or the lack thereof. Expensive clothing was a reference to financial modesty or the lack thereof - expensive clothing was a status symbol. An unmarried woman would feel no temptation to look sexually alluring in order to keep a husband that she did not have. The unmarried woman would also have no status of her own (nor a husband's status) to exhibit by wearing status-symbol clothing. The social pressure would all be on a wife, to keep her husband's interest in her body privately and to flaunt his wealth in public. Whether you like it or not, in 1Timothy 2, Paul was forbidding a WIFE from teaching her own HUSBAND or having authority over her own HUSBAND. It was that specific. If a wife treated her own husband in that way, it would subvert Ephesians 5:22-5:33 (which is also specifically limited to being about the marriage relationship between husband and wife. Nobody says "hey, 'gyné' could mean 'any woman, regardless of martial status' here" when translating Eph 5:22-5:33. Translators all admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' at this point in scripture. They admit that 'gyné' means 'married woman' while translating 1Cor 7:34 (they really have no choice but to admit that fact, while translating 1Cor 7:34). They admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' while translating 1Cor 7:2-7:5 (it could only possibly mean 'married woman' and 'wife' in that passage, also. There's absolutely no way that God would require any unmarried woman to fornicate on demand with any man who is not her husband! THINK! And 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is not a command for every single Christian to get married - if it was, it would contradict the verses later on in the same chapter in which single Christians are commended/told that they are free to stay unmarried/it's OK for them to have allowed unbelieving spouses to have divorced them/will do better than married people/have more freedom to serve God. Clearly, the entire chapter leaves us in no doubt that marriage is not compulsory for Christians, and singleness is good). So 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is all the proof that you need that the only possible translation of "gyné" is "wife". (But you've also got 7:34 and Eph 5:22-5:33). So why don't translators do the honest thing and admit that "all other occurrences of 'gyné' also mean 'wife', because 'a woman who is married' is what the word 'gyné' means"? You also can not give me one New Testament verse in which the word "gyné" could only possibly mean a "single woman" and could not possibly be translated as "married woman". That's not surprising, when the word 'gyné' only means "a woman who is married" (and in at least 3 places in NT scripture, "married woman" is the only possible translation of the word "gyné").
@@p-a-m-channel2350you sir have twisted your head around logic and the scriptures to fit your own desires. Just look at the facts and stop playing mental gymnastics. Every single positive example you will find in the Bible the woman (married or unmarried) is in the submissive and not leadership role. Every one. You are trying to justify your own desires.
I have never understood why women shouldnt speak because eve was deceived while adam sinned with his eyes wide open. but women can still speak to women and raise children. Surely this is only down to misogyny. God didnt put men in authority over women. It was a curse of the fall not a command. Christian women should not be under the curse. We are all one in christ
I believe a lot of Timothy's teaching was because a pretty woman (single or married) could have far more influence on Church business than a man. Not the woman's fault but because of a man's desire to find favor with her. Also I don't believe Timothy is speaking about an anointed woman lead by the spirit of God (she is not needing to be taught by church goers how to carry the message that God has gave her). God has used women through out history to get His work done. Jesus came to the defense of women time and time again. Like it or not a woman will be much quicker in standing up for the injustices of the world than a man. A woman is usually the one that teaches her children about God and builds a foundation that proves that it is never wrong to be kind. It was men who started wars that caused women to have to take roles in the church to keep it going here in the United States. To add insult to injury, here in the deep south the pastors speak about Trump as if he is the second coming while trying to preach morality to the congregation in the same breath. I have yet to hear about a woman preacher doing such a stupid thing in the pulpit.
@@alabamaflip2053 That message was nonsense. You are aware that along with women, most men are not to be pastors or overseers? The text is clear. We should not want to go beyond what is written. We must hold fast to the trustworthy word as we have been taught. You appear to be using your imagination and eisegeting the text. Don't blame men for wars and don't exalt women as being responsible for justice. That is nonsense shame on you. No one in the church can deny women have a place. You don't get to make stuff up on your feelings and stay within the church. It doesn't work like that. Sounds like you don't know the Bible and listen to false preachers all day.
Ecxellent work! I’ve long believed there is something off in most traditional church services! Down to the day, Sunday! I’ve recently been reading and learning as much as possible about what Yahushua wanted to see from HIS church!
Church, which church, biblical church or sectarian churches, Bible there is only one church, but church came first or new testament gospel book came first, all Christians believe and confess that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour , and believe in their heart Jesus Christ died and rose again they are all saved by grace through faith. Praise Jesus.
Jesus came and established a Church, not write a book. The Church wrote the Bible for God's people. The Church has more authority since the first 400 years Christians didn't have a Bible. When most everyone was illiterate after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Church taught, lead and protected God's people for right worship of Him. Bible alone is unBiblical and a man-made-up tradition from 500 years ago.
Wonderful video...some thoughts: 10) Absolutely! With the new covenant, Christians are the body of the church with Jesus as the head. 9) Yes (when it comes to the exact order)! But there are consistent patterns where God's will for all Christians is demonstrated by the early churches: Assemble on the first day (Sunday aka "Lord's Day"), have the Lord's Supper when assembling, etc. 8) Yes! All humans are different, and the Holy Spirit works differently in each Christian. Whatever the Christian should do based on their abilities, they should do (preach, teach, etc). 7) YES! Give from the heart and with joy. 6) Yep. The Sabbath was pre-new covenant only. With Christianity, the Lord's day is the first day of the week, Sunday. 5) YES! The more diverse, the better too. 4) Good gracious yes! All humans are imperfect. Denominations are anti-Christian. 3) Absolutely! The Bible contains God's will that's for all-of-time and situational (just that time/location). Any New Testament scripture that is gender-limiting when it comes to ministry is because of a specific situation at that specific location at that time in the 1st century. 2) Correct. It's God's will for humans to use their free will that when they are single they are righteously single, or if they are married they are righteously married (completely committed to each other). 1) Yes, but what most Christians do not do, but should is be open for spiritual constructive criticism in order to grow deeply for/with God together.
@@mlwilliams4407 many Christians today professed to follow Christ, but they don't want to follow His commandments. It was Christ who wrote the 10 commandments, which were written in the stones. In the bible, there are 3 instant where God's wrote: 1. 10 commandments 2. When pronouncing judgment of belshazzar (descendant of Nebuchadnezzar) written in Daniel 3. When Jesus wrote on the ground all the sins of the people who caught a woman commuting adultery then the people about to stone the woman. So what God had written is something that no man can change.
@@dorrien10 The Sabbath, as established in the Old Testament, was indeed on the seventh day, Saturday, and was deeply important to Israel as a sign of God’s covenant with His people (Exodus 20:8-11). In the New Testament, however, there's a shift in worship practices among believers, beginning with Jesus’ resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week (Sunday) and is called the ‘Lord’s Day’. The apostles and early Christians consistently gathered on the first day of the week to break bread, worship, and fellowship, as seen in Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2. They did this to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection and to symbolize the new covenant. This gathering became central to Christian worship, which differed from the Sabbath observance commanded in the Old Testament. Paul discusses the Sabbath in Colossians 2:16-17, teaching that Christians are not bound by Old Testament festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths, as these were "a shadow of things to come" with Christ as the fulfillment. By the end of the first century, Sunday had definitively become known as the "Lord’s Day," as seen in Revelation 1:10. Early Christian writings outside the Bible, like those of Ignatius of Antioch and Justin Martyr, also reflect that Christians observed Sunday as the primary day of worship, in honor of Christ’s resurrection. This wasn’t a man-made change but a shift rooted in the new covenant and the consistent practices of the earliest believers. Hope this helps.
@mlwilliams4407 what you have said is a very great deception. Paul never ever suggest to change to great Law of 10 commandments. You are quoting the revelation that John was in Lord's day when he received the revelation. But nowhere it was said that it was Sunday. Saturday is the real Lord's day. For Christ Himself said He is the Lord of Sabbath. Paul, who is apostle if Christ, was never ever suggest that the Sabbath was changed. It in fact is and undeniable truth at his time and our time. The Sunday worship is by Papal Rome, who is the great harlot of the revelation, the Babylon who had fallen, fallen.

women leaders not in authority over men would be correct belittling women as uneducated is wrong and you will find lots of women in leadership roles because men are refusing to take the lead!
😢 Very joyful with the many correct comments posted. Good Job. As far as 'Failing' for teaching that Women are allowed Leadership Positions in the Church; he did not. One must carefully look at the way the question was phrased. LEADERSHIP is a far cry from PASTOR or ELDER. Leadership roles exist and are occupied by many a Faithful Sister in Christ. What is NOT ALLOWED is the position of a Called Shepherd or Elder, preaching and teaching to a mixed Congregation, while in Church is in Service. He Slyly slide that verbiage in without making a distinction. So glad that we have Scholars in the Audience. 2nd Timothy 3:15 is perfect for mistakes or erroneous declarations like that. Be Well. ❤ Regards. M.C.C.

The Roman Catholic Church decreed that priests should not marry because married priests left their savings to their widow. The Church wanted that money for itself. It's clear from the Bible that celibacy is not for everyone. It was recommended but not mandatory. Thus the Church began to take those men into the priesthood who were less attracted to women than average. Their ability to understand normal people was diminished, and abnormal relationships resulted.
Thanks Lord for your salvation and peace and mercy and Patience. Thanks Lord Single no kids. Thanks Lord for all the different ladies. Psalm 91 Psalm 50 😂😂

One of the top 10 should have called out the papacy, which is not biblical at all. Peter was not a pope, he was an apostle. The roman catholic church as titled did not even exist before 380 a.d.. Before then it was known as "The Way" (The way of salvation through Christ). The term "Christian" started out as an insult to believers of Christ in the early days when persecution was widespread among the majority of the populations. It was adopted by Christians because it perfectly describes the followers of Christ. Priesthood is also not biblical in the new testament, the new covenant. Jesus Christ is our ONLY intercessor between man and God, (which is also Jesus, btw). Deacons and pastors can be translated in the new testament, but not 'priest'. Jesus is THE priest of his church, and there is no pope, but there are leaders in the church. Each assembly was local before they came up with papacy as part of the roman decree. The reason the romans did this was to control the growing power of Christianity as well as bring under control the pagan sects that were spread across the known world. That's when catholicism went off the rails from the apostolic age into the patristic age, when in order to bring the pagans into the fold and part of the number of the church, pagan ritual and idolatry were allowed into "Catholicism". It would benefit everyone to learn the real history of Christianity, but start with reading the bible and expand from there. Then you will know Christ AND what people have done rightly and wrongly in his name.
What surprised me the most was that anyone did not already know these were/are/have been/will be ways the deceiver can use to steal sheep and ruin the real church, if that was possible.
Yes ..... and it is mistakenly thought to have been given just to the Jews ... but when the Sabbath was created , God blessed and declared it holy and rested - before the Jewish people existed ... Also, you don't see serious Christians ignoring the other 9 Commandments ....
@@geoman5695 Odd that we can see 9 commandments in the new testament for the gentile believers but the command for sabbath keeping is not found. Acts 15:6-21

#3 Women in leadership. While big picture, you address correctly, it's failing to address the focus of what has been occurring. In your identifying two examples ... .Phoebe's "deaconess" title ... when examined from the original Greek ... is servant .... not the "genderized" version of 1 Tim 3. Priscilla and her husband.... corrected Paul in private. As was righteous and proper. Those are HARDLY offices in the Church which is where almost all of these discussions arrive ... women pastors/overseers, women elders, women deacons ... are NOT Biblical. Husband of one wife in all 3 of these. (which excludes widowers, btw) women certainly have leadership roles ... as Believers. But I think the exclusion is related to the picture of the relationship the Church should have with Jesus Christ ... and marriage. Certainly there's no confusion about the Biblical definition and ordinance of marriage. Omitted in this list are some profoundly erroneous teachings about End Times which will adversely affect the preparation of the Believer. Wasn't terribly relevant 100 years ago ... but it's becoming more relevant every day. Tribulation isn't 7 years .... it's 42 months ... and the gathering/"rapture" isn't pre tribulation, it's POST tribulation but PRE Wrath of The Lamb. Why do I need the "extra oil" of Matt 25 if the Bridegroom is coming to "fetch us" before sunset? 2 Thess 2, revelation of the man of lawlessness necessarily precedes the "gathering." That revelation when he stops the resumed sacrifice (Dan 9:27) .... he'll be a signatory of the confirmed covenant, but not revealed until the middle of that 7, which starts the 42 months.
intended to add ... there is a "concurrent 7 years" but it is not the 7 of Daniel 9:27 .... It's of Rev 19 and EZ 39 ... Heaven: The bema seat/wedding feast of The Lamb Earth: Cleanup of the Meggido Valley after Armageddon. (probably by the 144K sent to the "prepared place" for 42 months prior)
Can you do a biblical video on women leadership on the church? I’ve always understood that women can have leadership positions just not the ultimate head position in the church. Although I knew all your other points in your video were not biblical, it was informative and entertaining nonetheless. Thank you and be blessed.
Women can lead within a church, just not as head pastor or elders. They can lead other women or children, etc. Women have a valuable role to play as long as they are not preaching over men.
Here are the notes on this from my Hebrew/Greek key study bible: 1 Cor 14:33-40 The question frequently asked concerning this portion of scripture is ‘does the apostle Paul forbid women to speak at all or to pray or prophesy in church?’ This particular passage must be related to what has gone before in the speaking in an unknown tongue which was the practice in Corinth. Across the bay from Corinth was Delphi, Greece’s most famous centre of oracles. It is impossible that what was happening at Delphi did not affect the Corrinthians since inter-commerce was common. As in many other cities, there was also a Corinthian treasury in Delphi. Those who wished to consult the Delphic oracle first sacrificed a sheep, goat, boar or other animal, after which, if the omens were favourable, they went into the room adjoining the Adyton or inner shrine. It is interesting that Paul in 1 Cor 8 deals with sacrifice to idols, no doubt influenced by these Delphic sacrifices. At the inner shrine they waited their turn, which was determined by lot unless they had received from the Delphians the promanteia, or prior right of consultation. No women were admitted. They handed in questions written on leaden tablets, many of which have been discovered. The pythia, or priestess (note that it was a priestess not a priest) who delivered the oracle was a peasant woman over fifty years of age. At the height of the oracle’s fame there were three priestesses. After purifying herself in the Castalian fountain (see baptismoi, 909 ablutions practiced) drinking of the water of the Kassotis (note the parallelism in 1 Cor 12:13 ‘and we all drank of one spirit’), and eating a laurel leaf, she took her seat upon a tripod which was placed over the chasm of the Adyton. Intoxicated by the fumes from the chasm, she uttered incoherent soundswhich were interpreted (observe speaking in an unknown tongue and the interpretation of it) in hexameter verse by a waiting poet. The interpretation, which was always obscure and frequently equivocal, was handed over to the enquirer who usually returned home more mystified than when he had come. (Source: Stuart Rossiter, Greece; London: Earnest Benn, Ltd. P. 400) What Paul wrote in 1 Cor 14:33-40, therefore, was undoubtedly influenced by this practice and the predominant participation of women at the oracles of Delphi. They were not allowed to go into the inner shrine, but it was a woman who was the priestess. Is it any wonder that Paul reacted to a practice so closely related to such paganism within the Christian church? Paul’s comments in 1 Cor 11:2-16 in regard to the covering of the women’s head were a reaction to the existence of a thousand priestesses at the temple of Aphrodite on Acrocorinth. These priestesses, or temple prostitutes, were commonly seen without any covering on their heads and having short hair, unbecoming to a modest woman of those days. Paul’s concern, therefore, was that Christian women should never allow themselves to be viewed in any way as resembling those of a low moral stature. In 1 Cor 11:3, 16 his concern is that a woman in worship should very clearly be identified as a moral woman, if by nothing else than the long hair or the covering of her head.. After all, if one of the prostitutes became saved, the only way she could enter an assembly of believers was to wear a covering (peribolaion, 4018, 1 Cor 11:15) instead of long hair which would take a while to grow. This was the practice particularly in Corinth in view of the evil behaviour which was so nearby at Acrocorinth. It was a good custom that had local meaning. Why flaunt it and produce quarreling within the Christian church? This was Paul’s argument. This passage becomes clearer if we examine the conclusion in v. 16 ‘But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.’ Good customs that are meaningful locally ought not to be resisted, but to be kept for what they symbolise. This was the general principle enunciated in 1 Cor 11:2-16 and similarly in chapter 14:33-40, but this time not in regard to Acrocorinth, but in regard to Delphi. A priestess who speaks incoherently and leads men astray as in Delphi? Never! That was Paul’s point of view. The main verse that constitutes the foundation of all that Paul says in 1 Cor. 14 is v. 33 ‘For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.’ Actually, the word ‘author’ does not occur in the Greek text. It simply states that He is not a God of confusion. The interpreter of the oracles at Delphi always gave an ambiguous interpretation which would please the recipient and never expose the priestess who gave it, whereas God does not speak to confuse men. The verse applies to all that preceded it and all that follows it concerning the speaking of women in the churches. Paul makes it clear that in all the other churches, there was no confusion such as there was in the Corinthian church to which He was writing. The peace of the other churches and lack of confusion was due to the fact that there was not the same practice of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Corinthians, perhaps allowing their women to imitate the Delphic priestesses. The prohibition of women speaking in churches may have come from such practices.
. . . (continued.) Another very important instruction of Paul is found in vv. 39-40, closing this discussion that actually begins with 1 Cor 12. Paul’s conclusion, ‘Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy,’ or be zealous about prophesying. This is in the present infinitive which refers to constantly giving forth the word of God. Because there was confusion among them, it didn’t mean that they should stop te3aching or witnessing. ‘And to speak in tongues do not prohibit.’ Again, it is in the present imperative, koluete (2967), meaning ‘When a person does not speak our own language, do not forbid him to minister in his own language which can be interpreted.’ In v. 40, Paul closes by saying, ‘Let all things be done decently and in order.’ Again, the imperative is ginestho, ‘should be done,’ the present imperative of ginomai (1096), which means ‘to let it be continuously and repetitively.’ This as a principle applies to all the churches (v. 34) although it was born out of a practice existing only in Corinth. Therefore, his instructions to the Corinthians from vv. 34-38 are to be applied among all the churches. When Paul says in v. 34 ‘Your women in the churches, let them be silent,’ it was not an instruction to the men in general in any church not to permit any women to speak, but for husbands to guide and teach their own wives lest they produce confusion and disturbance in a meeting, particularly with their exercise of a gift that they thought they had and were so anxious to externalise; namely, speaking in an unknown tongue as was the manner of the Delphic priestesses. The verb lalein, the infinitive of laleo (2980), has been exclusively used in this whole discussion in speaking both in foreign languages and also particularly in the speaking of the unknown tongue of Corinth. The reason he uses laleo and not lego (3004) is because laleo refers to the mere utterance of sounds without the speaker necessarily knowing what he is saying or others understanding. Lego on the other hand is saying something that is the product of one’s thought. Naturally no thinking person will speak without others understanding him. Therefore, Paul uses laleo because among the Corinthiansstress was placed upon the languages themselves and not necessarily the content of the speech involved. Since Paul in 1 Cor 11:5 assumes that a woman prays and prophesies, and this cannot refer to only a restricted group then the word laleo in 1 Cor 14:34-35, if taken to be speaking generally, would contradict 1 Cor 11:5. There can be no contradiction in what Paul says, even as there is no contradiction in what he says about himself speaking in languages more than them all (1 Cor 14:18) and at the same time telling them in v. 23 that if a strangercame and heard them speak all at once in their unknown tongue, he would think they were all mad or maniacs. Paul would not include himself as a maniac! In v. 18 he speaks of his knowledge of various languages. In v. 19 he says that he would rather speak 5 understandable words than 10,000 which were not understood. Paul would have someone translate his words if it were necessary. This is the orderly procedure of communicating a message. He refers to the same thing exactly in 1 Cor 14: 34-38. The word ‘laleo’ in 1 Cor 14:34 must mean to speak in many languages together, which brings confusion, instead of speaking in one language which the people understood either directly or by translation, or speaking in an unknown tongue which the people could not understand. It cannot mean to speak with understanding and being understood.
. . . (continued.) One cannot take Paul’s indirect imperative in 1 Cor 14:34 ‘Let your women keep silence in the churches,’ as absolute. It must be taken in conjunction with what follows: ‘for it is not permitted for them to speak.’ The word ‘speak’ as we explained is ‘lalein’ which should be taken to mean ‘uttering sounds which are incoherent and which are not understood by others.’ Paul says that instead of having anything like that, it is better to have silence. Paul uses the same word for ‘keeping silence’ in v. 28 when a man speaks in an unknown tongue without an interpreter. Also the same imperative sigato, ‘let him keep silent,’ is used in v. 30, ‘if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.’ Actually that phrase, ‘let him hold his peace’ is the same word meaning ‘let him keep silent.’ That is a man, not a woman. What Paul is saying is that only one must speak at a time. If two speak at once there will be confusion. That ‘let him keep silent’ is, therefore qualified even as the sigatosan of v. 34 in the case of the woman. The verb sigao (4601) is used by Homer only in the imperative with the meaning of ‘hush, be still’ (Liddell and Scott’s Greek lexicon.) The imperatives here indicate linear action, i.e., it is not something that has a continuous effect but the action can be thought of as a line of line of dots. Every time one of these three actions appear on the scene during a worship service, the person should hush, be it a man or a woman. In the first two instances it concerns men and in the last women: (1) if a man speaks in an unknown language without anyone interpreting into a language the that others can understand; (2) if a man speaks and somebody else gets up to speak, and (3) if a woman begins to act like Delphic priestesses speaking in an unknown tongue. Under no circumstances does the injunction of Paul in 1 Cor 14:34 indicate that women should not utter a word at any time during a church service. It is not men versus women or women versus men, but it is confusion versus order. It makes no difference who causes the confusion. It is as bad if produced by men as it is when produced by women. Furthermore, the word gunaikes (1135) in v. 34 should not be translated as ‘women’ in its generic sense, but as ‘wives.’ It is wives who should submit (hupotassomai, 5293) to their own husbands (andras, 435, v. 35.) The whole argument is not the subjection of women to men in general, but of wives to their own husbands in the family unit as ordained by God. Paul states the principle that it was the duty of the husbands to restrain their own wives from such displays. It does not state that a man should restrain the wife of another. It is a shame for any woman to bring confusion into the local church (v. 35), even as it is for any man to do so. Whenever Paul speaks of submissiveness on the part of the woman, it is always on the part of a wife to her own husband. It does not imply that a woman, simply because she is a woman, must be submissive to any man, simply because he is a man.
You forgot to metion in 1Ti chapter 4 on marriage. Forbidding to mary and eating meat is a doctrine of demons. 1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, 1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; 1Ti 4:3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, AND COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.
You left out some parts. "nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude" - Meaning, if you can't bring yourself to be grateful for something, it's not good for you to receive. Elsewhere, it is stated that if it would cause my brother to sin, then I will not eat meat. - Meaning don't eat meat around a vegetarian if you know it would grieve or incite them. By good Christian teachings, such an act is tantamount to a spiritual assault. Likewise, people were instructed not to even ask about the origin of the meat in the marketplace, not because its method of slaughter was bad or because it was offered to idols which are nothing. For both of these reasons as well as the one before, these directives are solely for the sake of maintaining good conscience . Paul directly said that it is *good* not to touch a woman, but it is because of sexual immoralities that man and woman are united in marriage. He also goes onto say that he wishes all were like him, meaning celibate, girding one's loins if you will. The Bible clearly states that celibacy is ideal for those who are capable of controlling themselves because it allows one to fully dedicate their lives to God. However, if someone lacks such self-control, then marriage is good because the alternative is to burn in desire. When a married body behaves in the way God intended, marriage will relieve these impulses without sin. However, the downside is that a husband and wife will inevitably prioritize one another's needs instead of serving God first. That's not "bad", per se. It's just how it is. (Definitely _not_ a sufficient reason to actually institute a _requirement_ of celibacy among clergy. Such men are exceptional, not the standard. The Bible details qualities of the inscrutably faithful family man as the ideal leader of community churches for good reason, methinks. Good marriage means they'll be well cared for and much less likely to succumb to temptations, thus preventing slander against the church by nonbelievers.) Regardless of my opinions, these are both very nuanced subjects, and cherry-picking a few verses like we've done here is rarely sufficient to demonstrate such details.
Lord, forgive those hypocrites of hatred. The bible was written centuries before the great schism and Reformation. Learn church history brothers and sisters. It is heresy to believe God is some kind of magician who gives out money. Be careful, God requires humility not arrogance.
False doctrine. There's no mentioned in any of the scripture we are to celebrate Sunday because of Christ resurrection. For it is written, in vain men worship God, but teaching the commandments of men. Sunday worship is commandment of men.
There are a lot of good information, in this article. I wonder if the info re: tithe is complete, though. I looked it up, in the Bible and it does say, in Matt. 23:23, "Woe unto to you, scribes and Pharicees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin" and it goes on to say they omit of the law and paying attention to the people of God. Luke 18: 12 also addresses this. I have noticed that paying tithe, even when income is low makes my money go further. It is a good plan, when the church uses it correctly, which was mentioned in the old testament, Gen: 14:20, and 28:22: and Lev. 27:30. God bless you for sharing this information.
You are very right, 100 percent. Sadily the Catholic Church is far far far from the bible, have adopted false religion practice, like Islam have taken a lot from the Jew’s holy book and from christanity, and added a lot of man’s evil desires along with hatred and revenge all this is not from God, God is holy, pure, loving and kind, God is almighty.
Sabbath was observed 85 times in the book of Acts. After Romans made the day of rest Sunday in 321 Christians in Rome followed it. Other places didn't change until the inquisitions charged them with Judaizing. Being killed is an incentive to change your day of worship
I've seen teaching on TV which includes a quote supposedly from a Roman Catholic catechism that uses the change of day as evidence that the Church has the authority to do so. So far, I have been unable to verify this serious accusation. (Sidenote: the primary influences in my background have been largely Protestant, including a well known Sabbath keeping denomination. I prefer not to identify with any particular denomination beyond saying Protestant.)
@tjmaverick1765 You are talking "Moses law" under the Pharisees. Primarily circumcision in your verse. Jesus tells us to follow the Commandments. Observe the Sabbath to keep it Holy is a Commandment. Sabbath is never criticized anywhere or changed.
Under Moses law No work was permitted on the Sabbath, including baking, cooking, traveling, kindling a fire, gathering wood, buying and selling, and bearing burdens. That is not the Commandment of God. Jesus showed that throughout the new testament. Beavers and Bees observe the Sabbath, praise Jesus 👏
Responses to numbers 1, 3, 7, & 10: 10.) There is a building called “the Church” in the NT: 1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 7.) Tithing is still a Bible requirement. 1Cor 12:4-7 was in regard to offerings. Tithing was not just under the Law, but before the law (Gen 14:18-20) and after the Law in the NT Church: Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Heb 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 3.) Women are allowed to teach women (Titus 2:4) but not to “lead men”. Aquila and Priscilla shared the Gospel with a lost man (which is good) but that is not the same things as exercising authority over the Church: 1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. The number one “un-Biblical belief in Churches” should be “accept Jesus as your personal Savior for salvation”. That isn’t Biblical. Salvation plan: Acts 2:38 Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
As a challenge to your faith, just tithe. Your walk with God will change. You'll be so much more aware of God's blessings.God wants us to tithe,for sometimes we forget that everything belongs to Him.Let us be grateful and generous to give back what is already His.lest we rob Him..offerings on the other hand that is what you give out of a cheerful heart.But biblically speaking -Tithe is 10% of What God should get (Malachi 3:10). 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
We don no want to Rob God as the ancient Israelites Malachi 3:8-10 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation
No temple around today - hasn't been for almost 2000 years. I thought Jesus told the disciples to go and preach and heal and such, not charging anything - "freely you have received - freely give". Paul is nothing but a liar - should people ever dare to compare the teaching of Jesus to what Paul taught. Paul taught many things - mostly against what he'd told others or against what God or Jesus taught. NMick2658 is just deluded because he's just parroting what he was told.
#3 you are correct. Some churches have chosen pieces and part of the letters of The apostles as commandments. They were letters sent from one person to a church to address specific situations in THAT church. They weren’t commandment for today. Paul also said in one of his letters to kiss each other with a Holy kiss, I don’t see that in any churches today. Women can be deacons and teach. If that isn’t true then all of it is suspect. I’m sure in one church a woman was disruptive and Paul said she should be silent, doesn’t make it a commandment. God made man and woman as his image to represent him. God didn’t make women subordinate. He made them different than men.
Martin Luther even had to eliminate books from the Bible and add the word “only” in a couple verses to make the Bible fit his innovative and man made beliefs.
Sounds like jw's . Every version of the Bible has significant changes. We have brains, we can figure it out. Bottom line, JESUS is our savior and we must have complete faith in HIM.
The modern-day church is something that would cause the first and second century Christians to feel disappointed and revolted. A church that constantly talks about being "about Jesus" and how "we follow the teachings of Paul because our Lord sent him to us" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Modern-day churches cherry pick the words of Christ and Paul while entirely ignoring or finding excuses as to why they refuse to follow their steps entirely. Everyone wants to talk about how Christ "fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17) the Law, meaning we don't have to follow it. FALSE. In the SAME BREATH Jesus also says "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets" and then says, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Has the earth and heaven passed away??? NO! False teachings are overwhelming in today's church's so that they won't make your life uncomfortable. Even Paul in Acts 25:8 states, "I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.” Meaning Paul kept the Torah, kept the Sabbath, kept the holidays! "We are the church that follows Christ and Paul's teachings" LIES, you cherry pick the ones you want! Christ said if you love me then keep my commandments, and if you are a Trinitarian, then you believe Christ is God, meaning the TORAH IS HIS COMMANDMENTS! So what does "fulfill" mean??? It's taking about the fulfillment of the coming prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)! Jesus TAUGHT the FULLNESS of the LAW, given to Israel by Moses from God! The amount of Roman and Greek influence on the church today is horrible. So many verses are taken out of context and abused, all so that we Christians can be comfortable in our sins. Gentiles must adhere to Jewish sexual purity laws and refrain from eating blood and food sacrificed to idols (Acts 15:6-21). Today's Christians are in just as much of spiritual Egypt as the Jews are. Everyone has been warned. But like Jeremiah preaching repentance for 40 years before Jerusalem and Israel fell, this too will largely fall of deaf ears, full of excuses, all so that one might continue to roll in mud like pigs all while proclaiming "It's fine! Jesus will make me clean by the end! Jump on in and enjoy this sin with me!" Fully believing that because our salvation is not found in Law but in grace means a lack of following in the footsteps of Jesus and Paul means still salvation and we can do anything we want. Turn back to God and leave the Roman, Greek, Gentile teachings behind. "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4.
Are you saying that Christian's must follow the mosaic laws? If that the case then why even call ourselves Christian's? Why not just convert to Judaism and call it a day. Let's do that and follow all those what over 600 laws?
@@captainmartin1219smh you just don't get it do you know why God choose the Hebrews cause da world didn't know him at all the whole world was worshiping idols so he made his self known to them so they can tell the world who he is and how he want us to live the church is lying to you making you think the laws he gave was just for the Hebrews you are being mislead by false teachings matter fact I know you heard da greatest lie ever told that we can't be perfect dats a lie Jesus said ye = you must be perfect like me and my father that's in heaven, and one more thing the churches do that we not supposed to do is pray with people around people or in churches he said don't do that he said it's a private Convo between you and the father only people always want to do want they want and not what the father wants
The Greek word used for deacon (in regards to Phoebe), is also used of Jesus in John. It can simply mean servant. Jesus was not a deacon in a church! 1 Timothy 2 is 100% clear. This guy has discredited himself here!
The Sabbath is made for man. Not only Jews. He set aside the 7th day blessed and sanctified it for holy use at creation, Genesis 2. Our Creator and his law don't change, and it's one law for all. Plus the Sabbath will be kept in heaven, Isaiah 66 so why wouldn't we now?
“Deacon” refers to a Christian who “SERVES WITH CHURCH ELDER’s and Overseers,” not a leader or pastor of the church. (Timothy 2:12 I do NOT permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a MAN, she must be quiet.) There is a reason it’s a book and not a just passage. 5:38
The major thing that is not Biblical in most Churches is Church on Sunday. The scripture says “the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God and a majority of churches have abandoned that scripture to attend Church on Sunday which is a Catholic tradition.
And yet both Acts and Paul speak about the Christian community gathering on the first day of the week. The Day of the Resurrection, Sunday, supercedes the Old Testament sabbath.
@@ClintGreen-nv3xr there was NEVER and instant in bible where Christ changed the Sabbath. For He is the Lord even of Sabbath. For even Jesus mentioned in bible that even the heaven and the earth pass away, not EVEN one dot of the law (10 commandments) will be blot out.
Sabbath is for everyone, just as Jesus said: “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark 2:27, 28. Jesus did not say, “The Sabbath was made for the Jews, but a time is coming when the day will change to Sunday…” No. What Jesus said was: “The Sabbath was made for man (i.e. everyone!)” See also Isaiah 56:6, 7, which says that non Jews (Gentiles) would accept the Sabbath and keep it holy. Jesus said, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:8. There is no discussion in the New Testament about changing the day of rest to Sunday. Acts 20:7 mentions a gathering of the apostles on Saturday night (which Biblically = “the first day of the week”, since days start and end at sunset according to Scripture) and Paul preached until midnight. The next morning (still the first day of the week, Sunday morning), Paul travelled a great distance. This proves that the early Christians kept the Sabbath. If Sunday had become a holy day, Paul would have rested on that day. However, Paul did not rest on the first day of the week. He had a final evening meeting with the believers until midnight (on Saturday) and subsequently travelled a great distance on Sunday. The text does not indicate a change in the day of the rest. The Good News Translation renders Acts 20:7 as follows: “On Saturday evening we gathered together for the fellowship meal. Paul spoke to the people and kept on speaking until midnight, since he was going to leave the next day.” The first Sunday Law was in 321 A.D. by the Roman Emperor Constantine, who merged Christianity and paganism together under a new religion for the Roman Church. However, Sabbath has always been the Sabbath. Read the book “The Great Controversy” by Ellen G. White to learn more.
Mark 3:37--states the Sabbath was given to the "Jewish people". WRONG!! The Sabbath was given to the Isrealites!! No Jews until 600 years later!!! Mark 3:42 states Christians met on Sunday to celebrate Jesus resurrection!! WRONG!!! Jesus never said to celebrate his burial, his death and resurrection .. Baptism is the memorial of Jesus ‘ burial , death and resurrection Please everybody learn this: Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Acts 20:7---READ verse 11--They ate a meal!! ---
@@mitchellosmer1293 You're are also mistaken to say the sabbath was given to the Israelites. There was no Israelite in Eden when God blessed it and sanctified it. Jesus himself says, "Sabbath was made for man". He didn't say it was made for Israelites, although it is true that the first formal record of the Sabbath commandment was issued to the Israelites.
You are also wrong! What's the difference between an Israelite and a Jew? About the breaking of bread, or the commemoration of the last supper, Jesus said, 'do this in remembrance of me!' Luke 22:19; I Corinthians 11:24-26

AND THEREFORE, the original JEWISH disciples also understood that the elements of the Church's Communion Meal (LEAVENED bread, wine) only symbolized/represented the Messiah's body/blood at his suffering and death on the cross (see Galatians 3:13, John 12:31-33, John 3:14-15, 2Corinth 5:21, etc." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Drinking Blood ----Why were the Israelites not allowed to eat blood?

God wants us to tithe,for sometimes we forget that everything belongs to Him.Let us be grateful and generous to give back what is already His.lest we rob Him..offerings on the other hand that is what you give out of a cheerful heart.But biblically speaking -Tithe is 10% of What God should get (Malachi 3:10). 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. We also don’t want to Rob God like the Israelite.. Malachi 3:8-9 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation

Thank you for that video. Many of the things I have against the catholic church are in that video. We don't confess to a priest, we confess our sins to God, the father almighty.
Prayer with repetition, such as hail Mary, is not what God wants to hear from us. He wants to hear our hearts. He wants a relationship with us, so our prayers should be personal, between God and ourselves.
The body of Christ isn't a church. the body of Christ, the church, is us.
Saying Hail Mary 5x is not a way to be absolved of our sins. We must work on our sins through repenting. Then God will forgive us. Not Father Ohnery.
Jesus kept with the Jewish holy days, He spoke at Temple on sabbath. Sabbath is Saturday. The Catholic church changed it to Sunday. Not Jesus. Read your Bibles. King James version or New King James version. Nowhere in the bible does it say Jesus changed Sabbath to Sunday. Sabbath has always been on the last day of the week. Not the first. How can you follow the Ten Commandments if you do not keep God's Sabbath rest?
There are some wonderful resources at TH-cam, and all around the internet. God bless you all.
I ask Father God to open your eyes to the truth. In Jesus precious name, Amen
10.) Agreed that a church is a gathering of fellow believers and can be anywhere even in the homes of fellow believers.
9.) Since the bible teaches that God is a god of order and in acts 2:42 that the people devoted themselves to the teachings of the apostles. What the apostles taught came from God. So they were teaching the people about God, his kingdom, etc.... If it is not done in an orderly fashion then how can you learn anything at all. If it keeps changing like the wind then there is no order and nothing gets done.
8.) As far as preaching goes you are right everyone was commissioned to preach at the ascension of Christ. But still the church has to have leaders that are the ones that take up the role of teachers of the congregation. Because if they don't then there is no order in the church. That means someone that is just came into church to see what Christianity is all about. Someone that knows nothing at all about Christianity or the Christian religious denomination that he/she is attending would be called upon to teach that Sunday, which would be dangerous and wrong to do. When the person would be trying to teach others that doesn't know a thing about what he/she is teaching they could lead the group in the wrong direction.
You can still have a part in building up the church without being a leader or co-leader. Think of the leader as the head. Now the feet which might be you can still build up the rest of the body. 1 Peter 2:9 is talking to people that are called to be the ones that will one day be co-rulers with Christ. An anointed group of Christ's followers. They are the little flock that Jesus talked about that goes to heaven. Whereas the rest will make up the great crowd that will be here on the earth that follow the lead of those anointed spiritual brothers that take the lead in worship.
The only thing that titles should be used for is to denote the ones that take the lead in worship. Where they are still referred to as a brother, which is how my religion is ran. We have a body of elders that take the lead. Then they have others that they have prayerfully chosen that assist them they act like Deacons in other religions.
7.)Tithing actually comes from the Mosaic law and was fulfilled in the Christ and changed to what you mentioned in the video.
6.) For Christians Sabbath is a rest from dead works. Actually the sabbath for Jews wasn't all day Saturday. Instead it went from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday that was when the Jews observed the Sabbath.
5.) Agreed that the message of salvation is for all that want to be worshiping God for eternity.
4.) Even though no one is infallible. And there is nothing wrong with asking questions. But when the one doing the teaching teaches what the bible really teaches. Teaching the real truth about God, his kingdom, etc... then you should accept such a biblical teaching. We learn in a similar way that the Bereans learned about God. They just didn't accept Paul and Silas' word as fact, they examined the scriptures daily to see if those things were so and commended for doing so.
3.) It is true that women should have no leadership roles in the church. That is unless there are no unbaptized brothers in the congregation. Then one of the women has to take the lead and wear a head covering. This one is not a false teaching. The role that women have is a very important role in the church that doesn't include leadership. Instead they take the lead in preaching and teaching the good news. They are the large army of kingdom preachers because for many families the man is still the one that is the major bread winner of the family. So the wife is freed up to do the majority of the preaching work for the family. Sure the husband can do the work of preaching as well but cannot spend as much time as the wife can.
Romans 16:1 only a few versions of the bible use the word deacon for Phoebe. The majority use the word servant which doesn't mean leader. Women can teach others the good news or correct wrong thinking all without actually teaching the congregation or taking leadership roles.
2.) Celibacy is a teaching that is a misunderstanding of what Paul was saying. He was teaching the Corinthian congregation that those that choose to stay single will do better in God's service because they have more time to devote to God. He wasn't requiring people that take leadership roles to be single.
One of the Catholic bibles teaches at 1 Timothy 3:2 that a bishop should be a husband of one wife. I know that the Catholics teach that the wife of the priest is the church. The teaching that the bible teaches here is that bishops should know how to be the leaders of their own family that is not the whole congregation of God. If you cannot properly take care of your own family then how can you take care of the congregation. While the congregation is like a family but it is not the same as your personal fleshly family. Your fleshly family is only a part of the congregation instead of being the whole congregation.
1.) Depends on what you are talking about when you say judging others. The elders are suppose to make judgements concerning what others are doing when they are taking the wrong course of action. Then handle that wrong course of action accordingly. If the person will not repent and veer off of that wrong course of action and is a danger of leading the rest of the congregation stray then the elders must remove that person from the congregation. Then if that person repents later on they can be taken back into the congregation. If elders don't remove people that are a danger of leading others astray like the bible says should be done with unrepentant sinners then they become like the majority of churches that wink at immorality or other sins that unrepentant sinners commit. That shows hypocrisy that even Gandhi noticed during his day.
Wrong on #3. You pulled a tricky little cherry pick turned into a strawman there
There is perhaps no more hotly debated issue in the church today than the issue of women serving as pastors. As a result, it is very important to not see this issue as men versus women. There are also women who believe women should not serve as pastors and that the Bible places restrictions on the ministry of women, and there are men who believe women can serve as pastors and that there are no restrictions on women in ministry. This is not an issue of chauvinism or discrimination. It is an issue of biblical interpretation.
The Word of God proclaims, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In the church, God assigns different roles to men and women. This is a result of the way mankind was created and the way in which sin entered the world (1 Timothy 2:13-14). God, through the apostle Paul, restricts women from serving in roles of teaching and/or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors over men, which definitely includes preaching to them, teaching them publicly, and exercising spiritual authority over them.
There are many objections to this view of women in pastoral ministry.
One objection to this interpretation of women in pastoral ministry is in relation to women who held positions of leadership in the Bible, specifically Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah in the Old Testament. It is true that these women were chosen by God for special service to Him and that they stand as models of faith, courage, and, yes, leadership. However, the authority of women in the Old Testament is not relevant to the issue of pastors in the church. The New Testament Epistles present a new paradigm for God’s people-the church, the body of Christ-and that paradigm involves an authority structure unique to the church, not for the nation of Israel or any other Old Testament entity.
Similar arguments are made using Priscilla and Phoebe in the New Testament. In Acts 18, Priscilla and Aquila are presented as faithful ministers for Christ. Priscilla’s name is mentioned first, perhaps indicating that she was more prominent in ministry than her husband. Did Priscilla and her husband teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to Apollos? Yes, in their home they “explained to him the way of God more adequately” (Acts 18:26). Does the Bible ever say that Priscilla pastored a church or taught publicly or became the spiritual leader of a congregation of saints? No. As far as we know, Priscilla was not involved in ministry activity in contradiction to 1 Timothy 2:11-14.
In Romans 16:1, Phoebe is called a “deacon” (or “servant”) in the church and is highly commended by Paul. But, as with Priscilla, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate that Phoebe was a pastor or a teacher of men in the church. “Able to teach” is given as a qualification for elders, but not for deacons (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6-9).
The structure of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 makes the reason why women cannot be pastors perfectly clear. Verse 13 begins with “for,” giving the “cause” of Paul’s statement in verses 11-12. Why should women not teach or have authority over men? Because “Adam was created first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived” (verses 13-14). God created Adam first and then created Eve to be a “helper” for Adam. The order of creation has universal application in the family (Ephesians 5:22-33) and in the church.
The fact that Eve was deceived is also given in 1 Timothy 2:14 as a reason for women not serving as pastors or having spiritual authority over men. This does not mean that women are gullible or that they are all more easily deceived than men. If all women are more easily deceived, why would they be allowed to teach children (who are easily deceived) and other women (who are supposedly more easily deceived)? The text simply says that women are not to teach men or have spiritual authority over men because Eve was deceived. God has chosen to give men the primary teaching authority in the church.
Many women excel in gifts of hospitality, mercy, teaching, evangelism, and helping/serving. Much of the ministry of the local church depends on women. Women in the church are not restricted from public praying or prophesying (1 Corinthians 11:5), only from having spiritual teaching authority over men. The Bible nowhere restricts women from exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12). Women, just as much as men, are called to minister to others, to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and to proclaim the gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15).
God has ordained that only men are to serve in positions of spiritual teaching authority in the church. This is not because men are necessarily better teachers or because women are inferior or less intelligent (which is not the case). It is simply the way God designed the church to function. Men are to set the example in spiritual leadership-in their lives and through their words. Women are to take a less authoritative role. Women are encouraged to teach other women (Titus 2:3-5). The Bible also does not restrict women from teaching children. The only activity women are restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors to men. This does not make women less important, by any means, but rather gives them a ministry focus more in agreement with God’s plan and His gifting of them.
Amen, brother. Great explanation..
The unfortunate error that many churches in modern America have made is actually making an effort to appeal to outsiders rather than disciple and challenge the believers within. “Seeker sensitivity” generally produces a watering down of God’s Word.
Key word in the great commission is “disciples,” not converts. Welcome outsiders but not at the expense of truthful doctrine.
I 100% agree. While we shouldn’t turn away outsiders, seeker sensitivity has done a lot of damage to the Church. We start to care about quantity instead of quality. In other words, we care more about the size of the congregation, but not their souls or like you said discipling them.
I am a 74 year old Catholic and have always gone to Mass and never seen anybody removed from the Catholic Church or not allowed into the Church other than covid I would have to say it hurts when you see good clergy been treated like rubbish by clergy who openly commit mortal sin .

Yep, tithing (which means "tenth") was an old testament requirement, which unfortunately is abused in some modern, prosperity-gospel megachurches.
But if you believe in #10... then tithing is *for the people* and NOT for any church & its personnel!
Not only that, there is a vast misunderstanding of what the Tithe really is. The Tithe is not 10% of your INCOME, it is 10% of your GAIN. These are not the same.
No, tithing came from Abraham through Melchizidek, it was not required. You are confused.
It wasn't money either, it was a the first portion of the produce you made, whether it was crops, bread, wine, goods, etc. Later in the old testament it changed when the (second) temple was built. People sold their goods for currency, then exchanged that currency at the front outside of the temple for temple coins which would be the offering. Those are the exchange tables Jesus flipped in his rage against the temple desecration.
@@Old_Viking_65 No, Abraham may be a good example to us, but Abraham was not commanded to tithe. He did so as a voluntary thing, which is exactly what is *_taught_* (not *_commanded_* ) in the New Testament. In the New Covenant, there is no *_requirement_* to give ANYTHING.
Tithing was in the Old Testament, and it was to fund the activities of the non-landed Levite tribe. While some of the Levites served as priests in the tabernacle, not all of them did this, at least not constantly. Levites, who were literate, also served as scribes and record keepers and performed functions that we attribute to _government_ today. So, keep that in mind when you complain about taxes.
Also remember that in Numbers 31, the gold that was taken in war was to be given to the tabernacle/temple to make public works.
Also remember that the crops in the Corners of the Fields were to be left for the hungry. The percentage is debated, but it basically means that you need to give or accept that some of your production or income must be given or allowed to be given to the needy.
The Bible is Satan's book, he is its god.
Nothing like destroying a money making revenue stream for the hierarchy of the church ,by presenting facts.
_Levites, who were literate, also served as scribes and record keepers and performed functions that we attribute to government today. So, keep that in mind when you complain about taxes._
Oh no, please tell me you are not comparing the tithe sacrifice with our modern bloated tax system.
That would be like comparing the manna the children of Israel received in the wilderness with a
full course Thanksgiving feast that we would enjoy today.
@@Joel-Serra Naw, I'd compare Manna with Hardtack... maybe _Kix_ cereal.
Thou shalt not murder was also in the OT but we still follow it to this day.
Tithing is and ways was designed by God for us to prove to Him that we put Him first. This is why we are to give of the first fruits of our INCOME. We put Him first in what is most important in our lives and He then blesses the other 90% AND rebukes the devourer on our behalf.
You forgot the biggest belief of all… Say a little prayer and you are saved. Nowhere in scripture is this observed, nowhere did anyone utter such a prayer or call for such a prayer. It’s a human invention leaving many still in sin and unsaved. Yet if you look throughout the New Testament, particularly the book of Acts, we find many repenting (turning away from their sin toward God), being baptised (fully immersed in water) for the forgiveness of their sin and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:37-39; Romans 6; Colossians 2:11-15. There are many others besides. So we see the fundamental importance of realising our sin before God (and our complete inadequacy of dealing with it our own way), turning away from our sin and being baptised (leaving our sin in the grave and rising up with Christ anew) for the forgiveness of our sin and being filled with God’s Spirit helping us walk in new life with Him. It’s not a prayer that saves us, it’s an act of our will to change. Change on His terms, in accordance with scripture.
Lets continue to read the verse you gave Colossians to 19 "and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God" what is the body? Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" what religion saved for sacrifices? Romans 16:16 "Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you".
If " Say a little prayer and you are saved " is not continued on with what the scriptures tell you then you are deceiving many new believers .Matthew 28:19-20
King James Version
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 16:15-16
King James Version
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
So we see that the "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching.
@ hi Bruce, thanks for your reply. So I’m not sure whether you agree with me or not. It’s kinda hard to understand where you are coming from. If you have said a prayer asking Jesus into your heart, then in accordance with what we see in scripture, you are not saved. Even the scriptures you have presented agree with the scriptures I have posted and none of them point to to a prayer that leads to salvation or forgiveness of sin. If you are saying that I am disregarding discipleship, I am not, it is vital. However, in order for discipleship to take place, a biblical conversion must be in place first.
@@integritech-whakatane3686 "Be my buddy prayer" is not what the scriptures actually teach. Part of, is not all of. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations . Not go and evangelize then leave with no further teaching.
So i agree with you it is not a simple prayer that saves it is what the scriptures teach . Acts 16:29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized.
So no ,there is not the simple prayer to be said and suddenly you are a born again believer. The scriptures are clear that you need teaching after you ask Jesus into your life , confessing Him as Lord and repenting of the direction you are currently, as a non believer , on .Acts 3:19

Phoebe was never a Deacon neither did Paul address her as a Deacon but as " a sister" , we all know the qualifications of a Deacon, must be a man of one wife ... Stop twisting Paul's writings, Priscilla on the other hand were aware of Paul's teachings of women keeping silent in the church,that is why verse 26...' they took him unto THEM ' if you carefully look in any bible you will realize the word THEM is in italics or bold , meaning privately.but not in the synagogue Infront of the people, your No 3 is not a teaching at all pull it down 🚮
The fact that you commented in this manner makes the video a whole lot more relevant. It seems the video struck a nerve and I highly recommend that you search the scriptures and pray about how this video made you feel.
You are also at liberty to ignore this 🙂
Okay, let's all calm down. The Bible doesn't specify what makes a deacon. And that topic is not what's important right now. What is being said is that women are absolutely allowed to serve in the church as well as men. All of us, male and female, are made in God's image and He does not think of one gender less capable than the other.
As Paul's letter to the Romans contains, he shows trust and authority to Phoebe, a “diakonos (deacon) of the church at Cenchreae.”, who held a respected ministry role.
As Paul's letter to Titus and first letter to Timothy contains, a deacon (male or female that teaches and guides others) must have spiritual fidelity and commitment (marital or single) qualifications...with an example of a dedicated husband of one wife.
Priscilla, along with her husband Aquila, privately taught Apollos, a well-versed preacher. The phrase “they took him aside” shows spiritual maturity (e.g. not making a public spectacle of one of his shortcomings at that time). The word “them” in italics or bold indicates a word added by translators to clarify the sentence, not to imply secrecy. This joint teaching shows Paul’s approval (and God's will) of women teaching, especially when paired with other respected believers.
The entire Bible (both Old and New Testament) contain God's will for all-of-time and situational (for just that time). Paul’s teachings on women remaining silent in the church was situational because at that time in Corinth, unrestrained participation was causing disorder (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia (Romans 16:7), and other women had significant ministry roles in the early church. Hope this helps and Amen!
What is a deacon? God's 'gofer', go for, a helper. While it is important, don't magnify it into a five fold ministry office.
I'm not saying any of you are, but when listening or reading what people write, at times it seems like they are attempting to magnify it to a higher authority/position than it is.
@@danielwilkinson1024 Agreed. With Christianity, titles should only be a result of that human's current state of being (thus current abilities...including how the Holy Spirit uniquely works in that Christian). Just like how beings (God, angels, humans) have names, when used according to God's will, titles help in uniting and doing God's will together (preaching, teaching, learning, etc).
One thing I seen a lot of Baptists do was say just because I prayed once I got saved once means I’m saved for the rest of my life “I was saved by grace, and once saved always saved”
Good luck with that.
It's not a "prayer" per say. But yes, what u said is what the Bible teaches.
@@JamesThomas-dn6hz if you mean that “what you said is correct” is that you mean I’m correct by me saying “I was saved by grace, and once saved always saved” is a lie, it’s not in the bible, you are saved by grace but you can become unsaved again, read II Peter 2: 18-22
Tru. I went to a Baptist church like that
Let the word of God once and for all dispense with the notion that once we are saved, we are always saved. That is a lie from Hell and here is the truth from the Bible:
John 10:28-29 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand."
Verse 28 MUST be considered in light of verse 27: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."
The true followers of Jesus - 1) hear His voice (the context here is that they not only hear, but listen intently), 2) He knows them (the context here is that Jesus knows they are true followers) and 3) they follow Him. It is the people who continue in these three conditions who have eternal life and cannot be snatched away.
Let's look at more verses for what the Bible says about losing our salvation:
1) Hebrews 6:4-6 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
2) 2 Peter 2:20-22 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.”
3) John 15:6 “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” We need to not just call on the name of the Lord, but remain in Him!
4) Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” This expand what it means for us to properly call on the Lord. It's not just saying the words, but submitting and staying submitted to the will of God.
5) 1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” So even after calling on the Lord and being saved, we can abandon that salvation and follow demons.
6) Matthew 24:13 “But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” What does that mean for the one that does not stand firm to the end? They will lose their salvation!
7) Luke 8:13 “Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.” We can call on the Lord and be saved, and then later lose faith and fall away.
8) 1 Corinthians 10:12 “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”
9) Hebrews 10:26-27 “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.” After we have called on the Lord, we must not continue deliberately sinning or we will face the judgment and fire.
10) 1 John 2:24-25 “As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us - eternal life.” What about if what you have heard does NOT remain in you? You will NOT remain in the Son or the Father, or have eternal life.
11) 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us.” Doesn't get much clearer than that! 12) Hebrews 3:12 “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” Paul is warning believers to guard their hearts against unbelief that will turn them away from God and salvation.
13) Romans 11:22 “Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.” If we choose not to continue in the Kindness of God, we will be cut off. 14) Colossians 1:22-23 “But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation- IF you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” This is a conditional promise that IF we choose to remain in the faith and not move out of it, we will be free from accusation. If we don't, we have stepped out of the covering of the blood of Jesus and stand our sins are open to accustation and punishment.
15) Philippians 2:12 “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence- continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Paul is clearly saying that salvation can be lost and needs to be continually worked out with fear and trembling (submission to God).
16) Jude 1:5 “Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.” Jude reminds the believers of God’s past judgments, highlighting that initial deliverance doesn’t guarantee future safety. Continued belief is crucial to avoid falling under judgment.
17) 1 Corinthians 15:2 “By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Another clear conditional promise that IF, after being saved, you hold firmly to the gospel, you remain saved. But IF you don't, you fall under judgment.
18) Romans 11:20-21 “Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.” Paul cautions against arrogance in our faith stance, urging a humble and trembling spirit. The fate of the natural branches (Israel) serves as a warning to us.
19) Mark 13:13 “Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” Jesus is telling believers that only those who stand firm to the end will believe. So clearly if we walk away from Him, our salvation is lost!
20) 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-unless, of course, you fail the test?” Paul is warning believers in the church to keep testing themselves, that they remain in the faith and not fall away.
Yes Phoebe was a deacon, which is essentially a servant role. It does not say that she ruled over men in the church.
Absolutely correct. All the women are "ministers" but not within the congregation. This part about Phoebe refers to what she does outside, like preaching to the public or assisting others in spiritual activities or physical needs. Paul never said to receive any instructions from her but rather _"to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me."_ (Romans 16:2) A benefactor is someone who gives money or other help to a person or cause. It does not mean someone taking the lead.
The translation for Deacon is servant in the translation for elder is leader
1 Timothy 3:12-13
[12]Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
[13]For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
THE GREEK WORD PROVES SHE WAS A DEACONESS…CASE CLOSED TO INTELLIGENT SAINTS.DR.BRYANT LANE…GET BEYOND YOUR BIASES OR DOGMA. I DID TOO.
The office of deacon is reserved to men. It is a function inside the Church. Yes, the term means servant, but no woman can meet the qualifications Paul laid out.
3:12 for the ppl who are taught they MUST tithe, yes it is good, and yes it does allow God to bless you financially, but once while I was in the struggle of falling into lust, I was at church and I pulled out a $10 for offering and the ushers passed over me, I felt bummed bc I wanted to give but I couldn’t, then right then i felt God say to me, “I want your body, not your money”, if we aren’t submitting ourselves to him, treating ourselves as a temple, then the rituals are dead, bc our heart isn’t in it if that makes sense, “I can give all my money to the poor, and have my body burned, but if I have not love it profits me nothing” if your heart isn’t loving God as you should, then even if you drop 50% of your paycheck to the church, will profit you nothing bc YOU are what builds the church, your money is material, yes it can help provide for those in need, but even wicked guve to the poor and yet profit nothing but a gold sticker for good works
You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. Matthew 23:23
Aye. This is also what Jesus says about offerings in Matthew 5:24 basically, and well, other places too. There are quite a few passages in the gospels about offerings, several of them in the context of the pharisees and sadducees as well. And then there is that passage about the woman at the temple who gave more out of her poverty than everyone else did out of their riches.
Anyways, I think what you say is right and makes alot of sense.
I recall the teaching that God loves a cheerful giver, as stated in 2 Corinthians 9:7. He does not need our money, for He is self-sufficient, but offerings are meant to benefit us spiritually. They allow us to participate in God's work, reflect His generosity, and experience the blessings that come from giving, a fruit that is pleasing and desirable to the Lord :)
@@Άθελι-παιδί-του-Θεού So are we to give to get blessings or give because it is the right thing to do? God loves a cheerful giver and the mainstream churches tell you to tithe and give for blessings and prosperity . The mainstream churches do not put an emphasis on giving out of love but more out of commitment.
@@Άθελι-παιδί-του-Θεού Aye! I think it's actually mentioned more places than 1 about cheerful giving. It's the right kind of attitude.
The Sabbath was established at creation and has never and will never change. We will observe the Sabbath throughout eternity.
So, you observe it from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon. That is the biblical sabbath.
The understanding that I got from the Bible was that Jesus was the fulfillment of the Sabbath. The Messianic Age was considered by Jews to be one long Sabbath.
No, the Sabbath isn't abolished; it is definitely fulfilled, but by Christ in you.
Example: A man becomes indwelt by the Spirit on Wednesday night. He wakes up on Thursday, but dies that day. He had no chance to observe the Sabbath, because he died before it came. Yet on his great white throne judgment, he is regarded by God as having fulfilled the whole law, including the Sabbath. Why, if he never observed a Sabbath? Because Christ in him fulfilled it.
@genestensaker6543
Amen, I/we do. The true Sabbath establishes creation week. God's time clock is beyond the hands of men to manipulate.
Then why were the disciples meeting on Sunday in the book of Acts ?
Acts 20:7
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
@@LovelyCamel-zb7iz quote---Yet on his great white throne judgment, he is regarded by God as having fulfilled the whole law, including the Sabbath. Why, if he never observed a Sabbath? Because Christ in him fulfilled it....unquote
Then tell me, WHY did Mary. mother of Jesus KEEP the Sabbath that Friday evening??
Why did Mary Magdelene KEEP the Sabbath that Frioday evening?
Why did the Apsotles KEEP the Sabbath and TEACH the Sabbath in Acts ?
Why did Paul keep the Sabbath in Acts???
Did Jesus NEGLECT to tell ANYONE the Sabbath was abolished at the cross???
That WOULD MAKE Jesus a SINNER by omission!! Think about that!!!
Why are we to keep the Sabbath in heaven?
Why does the bible say that we should hope not have to escape on the Sabbath at time of tribulation??

There is a lot in this video that requires "fleshing out." No scripture stands apart from any other. The error with videos such as this is that they rely on one scripture verse, or location, to build their premise upon...it amounts to a shaky foundation. Might I suggest that the whole word of God be utilized to establish the will of the Father...and where there is silence, then we, too, must remain silent.
That is exactly what my first opinion is listening to this video
what are you trying to say ?...am confused...so tgis vudeo is misleading or ?...kindly provide the clarification for all the 10 tging he just mentioned..thabk you..
@@crazypotato4451 It is what I said...the subjects are lightly covered...not much one can do in a 7:38 minute video...folks need to dig into God's word, the Holy bible...cross reference scripture...do a systematic study, including what the Greek and Hebrew (Paleo, also) words, and the parts of those words, meant during biblical times...their living day to day customs and manners, etc...let me give an example: The head of the household is sitting at table, having been served by a servant...midway through the head gets up, after folding his napkin and placing it beside his plate...what does that mean? Jesus did just such an act at the Last Supper...does this mean every elder, bishop, pastor, leader must also fold their napkin and place it on the table prior to leaving, as if they are finished? It seems there are those who might assume so...but let's look behind the custom and manner, shall we? It was the custom that if the head waded-up his napkin and tossed it in his plate it meant that he was finished, and that the servant could clear the head's plates, cups, bowls from the table; however, if the napkin is neatly folded and placed on the table it means that the head is not finished and that he would be returning...Jesus was saying, "I'll be back." Not the Arnold Schwarzenegger style of "I'll be back," but that He, Jesus is going to return. If you do not know the manners and customs of bible lands, times and people, it is easy to miss the subtleties of the text...there are hidden treasures, jewels, hidden in God's word...like God is whispering to us...Proverbs 25:2 KJV "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: But the honour of kings is to search out a matter." God is drawing us into a deeper study of Him, His will, His purpose and direction for us...The Lord wants a personal relationship with each and everyone of us...not some casual see you for an hour on some specified day of the week, and then to go about our way as if He did not exist the rest of the time...that is no way to live...to live for the Lord Jesus Christ is to walk side by side...to actually hear what He says in His word, and then to apply that Word to our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit in us...yep, when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit comes to take up residency in your life...He is the stamp that seals one to the day of redemption...The Holy Spirit is our guide, our comforter...all that I have written herein, is in God's word...
Here is a poem/prose that someone penned long ago...I have modified it to fit my walk with Jesus. I hope it adds to your understanding of what it is like to walk in the Lord:
FOOTPRINTS...A New Version
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. (This is exactly my experience with Jesus - nothing quiet or off in the corner about it.) For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently...You and Jesus are walking as true friends!
This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one…This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints.. They have become one.
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are amazed and shocked.
Your dream ends. Now you pray: 'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.'
'That is correct.'
'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely…'
'Very good.. You have understood everything so far…'
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.'
'Precisely.'
'So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.'
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice, “You didn't know? It was then that we danced!”
☝
It is all about discovery; learning with the Lord as guide. TH-cam videos may be spot on, but all too frequently they fall terribly short...that is what has taken place here...and "too short" simply does not measure up to what our Lord wants for you and for each of his kids. Get into His word, get into a personal relationship with Him where you walk beside Him, then into His footprints, then...you dance.
Amen.
Amen! Exactly! Scripture interprets scripture. Line upon line, precept upon precept.
For a deep dive into egalitarianism vs complementarianism see Mike wingers series. The conclusion is that complementarianism is the correct view. That means that women can do most things in the church. The only thing they cannot do is hold a teaching or spiritual role over men.
@@geraldbritton8118
Mike Winger is human, therefore fallible.
@@geraldbritton8118
"Complementarianism" is rubbish.
It confuses the difference between *the marital relationship* (which a married person is in with his/her spouse, therefore is unique in a married Christian's life) and *societal relationships* which means all other relationships which are not marriage (with one or more people of either/both gender(s), because societal relationships are not sexual).
The martial relationship is 'somewhat complementarian' (but not completely so, because no human can totally complete another human, only God can complete any person). Marriage is the only human-human relationship which is 'somewhat complementarian'.
Societal relationships are (or should be) egalitarian (because of Galatians 3:28, and because of Christ's command to "love your neighbour AS YOURSELF"). Complementarianism is totally inappropriate to societal relationships.
We are born equal. We Christians are 'born again equal' in Christ. The thing that makes marriage so unequal is "contractual obligations" which are a consequence of the marriage contract (which spouses enter into when they marry). They were not bound by those contractual obligations before they married, and when the marriage comes to an end, they are not bound by those contractual obligations from that time onwards. The contractual obligations only apply to the parties to the contract - within marriage - therefore do not apply outweith marriage (to anyone who is not a party to the contract). Pedants, please note: a covenant is a type of contract. So the fact that marriage is a "covenant" does not stop marriage also being a "contract". It's just a specialised contract, but it's still a contract.
Lol such a lie
This is a very masculinist view, seeing things in hierarchical terms and 'correct' versus 'incorrect' teachings. It's not a competition, guys!! I would like to recommend an informed woman's point of view, presenting the case against complementarianism in a nuanced way. Try Marg Mowczko.
The church is the believers that gathered together! 🙏
As a woman I and others want men to faithfully lead. There is plenty of ways to minister in the Body of Christ . Children's ministry...women's ministry, feeding the poor...! The sin nature of women makes them want to be the boss!
“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11-12).
It’s whitewashing video, the author is influenced by culture himself but he doesn’t know it. I quitted watching the vid after I saw point 3.
Context bud. The audience here is Timothy, who is church planting in Ephesus. The Church in Ephesus is being targeted by false teachers, perhaps specifically the women in this specific Church. The word here is not simply "exercise authority." It would also be valid to translate αὐθεντέω "violently domineer." This word is literally used in some places for murder. So why is Paul talking about women not having violent dominion? It's not like he lets men have that either, after all.
Ephesus is the center of the cult of Artemis. Like, wonder of the world scale temple, problems happen as soon as Paul gets there in Acts. Her cult is everywhere in this city, and disconnecting from it to convert to Christianity is difficult and costly, and returning to it would be a constant temptation. In that cult, women did indeed exercise violent dominion over men. And Artemis was the goddess women would appeal to for safety and childbirth. So we can be pretty confident that Paul is responding to some issue involving the cult of Artemis.
Paul is telling Timothy that Christianity needs to be distinct from the cult of Artemis, you can't mix the two, have one foot in each religion, or import practices from the cult. Women can't mistreat men any more than men can mistreat women, and new converts from that cult don't need to be taught until they have learned. But you also can't Misogynistically ignore women who are being given false teachings; women absorbing false teachings can be catastrophic, as it was with Eve. If women are worried about safety in childbirth, let them live right before God rather than appeal to Artemis.
Remember, Paul is not Jesus. Paul lives in a specific context. Jesus did and also did not. He welcomed women into ministry and leadership the same as men. The early church, especially in Rome, was a collaborative effort between men and women. If you want to exclude women from leadership, by all means, but you'll only get half the story.
@ you ignored the entire part where it says something akin to “so it was eve who were supposed to be blamed, and not Adam, because she was lied to by the devil first and accepted it.” So basically it was never something that targeted a specific “context”, it was a broad denial of women interms of authority and leadership, and I’m doing just that.
I just read that today. As a woman.. it's not offensive.
Yes woman aren’t to be head of the church or household.
This guy is wrong in saying women can lead a church. Woman can run Sunday schools or a woman’s Bible study. That’s all.
Not only are ministers preaching doctrines that are not found in the Bible, but they are also preaching doctrines which their denomination has published official positions on, saying "this doctrine is wrong."
Pastors, all paid staff, and even the church board do not know their own denomination's official position on a large number of doctrines.
A person should never assume a pastor knows his denomination's official position on any doctrine or that he is willing to conform to his denomination's official position, even if he knows it.
Several denominations have a Department of Doctrinal Purity, and they can be alerted to a pastor whose teachings are "off" and issue him an official letter of correction. If the pastor continues advocating this doctrine, especially if he does this in publications or books he has written, his license will be revoked. The denomination cannot allow their brand to be on something that does not match their brand. A pastor who receives repeated letters of correction will cause the denomination to realize "this guy is not going to meet in the middle" and they will revoke his license.
However....even though I recognize this problem, I also know denominations can correct pastors when there is no biblical support for the correction. Denominations can be wrong, too.
"Social dancing" is a sin that the video leaves out, that some denominations call a sin. It, of course, appears nowhere in the Bible.
Tobacco use occurs 0.0 times in the Bible, yet many denominations call it a sin. It should be noted that in North America, during the time of the 13 Colonies (prior to the American Revolution), the ministers were paid their salary in tobacco, because it was worth more than paper or coin money. So the church went from paying its ministers in tobacco to forbidding members from using tobacco. The scripture did not change; the church changed.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:9-12
You are correct on all points ‘except’ #3. A woman is not permitted to preach in the church. Pay close attention to the words “a command of the Lord” below………
1 Corinthians 14:33-37 ESV
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord.
If you acknowledge the Apostle Paul, he explicitly states it is a ‘command of the Lord. Culture has nothing to do with it.
God Bless!
Correct!
Correct! Totally agree with you!
God has a preference for a man to teach. However, there may exist exceptions. There was a missionary story which was told to me in which a woman missionary was the one who made the effort to learn the language of the tribe, and do all the missionary work in a difficult jungle location where no one wanted to travel.
So this one woman taught the Word of God to the whole tribe...even the tribal elders. Now would it have been better for a man to have taught them? Of course. But there were no men available who knew the language like she did, so it was she who persisted in this job. She said that she expected some man to come and take her place one day, but no man ever did, because they didnt want to travel to her jungle location and learn the language. After a while, I'm sure some of the tribesmen took on leadership roles themselves, but it was only after being properly equipped by this woman missionary.
So here's the concept I want you all to grasp...while God prefers a man to teach, there exist some situations in which it is ok for the woman to preach and teach as well. Often this is because there are no other options for the preaching and teaching.
To a lesser extent, this can also be true of teaching the "women's groups" in the church today. Who among the men feels called to teach a womens-only group? Not that many. This is why we have the typical woman teacher for the woman's group. Because the men don't "feel called" to it. If the woman didn't teach, there would BE no group teacher.
I strongly believe that there needs to be tolerance in the church for exceptions like these to exist, especially in cases where a woman is, in fact, properly trained in the bible.
Great point -but exceptions are not the rule. You can say that if there is no man properly trained to preach/lead a church then a woman should be appointed. I guess the problem with that exception is you have a church that is being lead by a woman -and that is not what Priscilla and Aquila was called to do neither did Jesus call a woman to be a disciple even though He appeared to women first when he was resurrected. Nor doe this exception bring into call the scripture that says a woman should not usurp a man’s authority (1 Timothy 2:12). I welcome your thoughts with grace and understanding..
Thanks for saying this! I thought the same thing. Important and faithful women in the New Testament played specific roles alongside their husbands. They were not overseers (pastors).
Women cannot be pastors.
They can be teachers
Yes, and Romans 16:1 is better translated to “servant” of the church rather than Deacon. 1 Timothy 4:6 Paul calls Timothy the same Greek word διάκονος - Timothy was associated with the church in Ephesus but was not a Deacon .
From my personal experience with the Lord, I have tithed faithfully. I know there is a lot of strife in the comments concerning tithing, but the Lord has blessed others through the tithes I have given obediently and has always more than fulfilled my needs.
As a challenge to your faith, just tithe. Your walk with God will change. You'll be so much more aware of God's blessings (Malachi 3:10). You will come to feel intimately closer to God and realize that your giving is an act of faith, like the widow who gave two copper coins.
I can testify, keep it up
Yup. When the holy Spirit came upon me as a brand new Christian the first thing I heard was to start giving. Been a faithful tither for 20+ years now. Thanks Lord
You can call it tithes, offering, whatever you decide to call it, but in the New Testament, Paul explains we’re no longer under the law, which coerced man to give, now we are to give freely from our abundance and be a cheerful giver. God honors the obedient, cheerful giver.
Tithing cheerfully is good but it will most likely not change your finances. The prosperity gospel preachers say that and its wrong.
@@Shaolin91zblimey you are a good boy arnt you but then why brag about it mate ?
My boyhood church taught its adherents to pray to Mary and the saints never explaining that neither she or they had God's attributes of omnipresence omnipotence and all knowledge.

@@laurabutler7498 asking others to pray for you is not an instruction, lol
I liked the lesson that you teach. My daddy was a preacher for 34 years. I read his sermons on a FB page. I've heard the sermons many times but reading them aloud I learned a lot more.
My favorite one was about the women of the Bible. No woman betrayed Jesus and the woman at the well was the first missionary as she went into town to tell them about Jesus.
Show me one verse that says women led a church. Your example of Priscilla helping instruct Apollos has nothing to do with church leadership.
The Greek word used for deacon (in regards to Phoebe), is also used of Jesus in John. It can simply mean servant. Jesus was not a deacon in a church!
1 Timothy 2 is 100% clear.
This guy has discredited himself here!
Women own companies. Women employ men. Women run governments. Schools. Hospitals. Why are you so afraid of women leading you in church ?
You don’t have an older sister or mother you listen to? No aunts ? No older woman has authority over you? That means you refuse to submit to those in authority over you.
@@lovegod8582Exactly. 1 Timothy 3:12 says “ Deacons must be husbands of one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.” If women could be deacons then it would seem this verse would say “deacons must be a husbands or wives of either one wife or husband.”
Also 1 Timothy 2:12 clearly states “But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.”
@@lovegod8582 My Bible, a KJV calles Phoebe a sister, not a deacon.
1 Timothy 2:12 ⬇️
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

NO… because of the order of creation. This applies to all cultures at all times ⬇️

It’s sad when you have to convince people that the Bible means what it says.
1. Judge those within the Church, not outside the Church. To judge and excommunicate or kick out is medicinal, it is to heal the person that is committing sin to seek forgiveness and return to God.
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for sharing this with us, my Brother in Christ 👍
The idea of gathering together is so that unsaved people can gather with you as well that they might become saved! 🙏
In the book of Acts they told them the Truth. Some left. God will send more to be saved. We are to accept an unsaved spouse or children.
@ritchievernon8099 "The idea of gathering together is so that unsaved people can gather with you as well that they might become saved! "
Where do you find that taught or practiced in Scripture?
Now if the churches would stop othering races and people who are not nuerotypical or differently abled.
No it’s not. If you lived in a time where worshipping Christ was punishable by death by crucification, boiled in oil, flayed, thrown off a cliff or turned into a Roman candle, you would not be running around telling everyone to come where you gather. You would have wanted to make sure they accepted the gospel first. It was a capital offense to worship Jesus. Becoming a Christian back then was a death sentence. Just as it is today for converts from Islam.
Church is for believers so they can be filled with God and go out to love and serve others. Christians make disciples through relationships. After a relationship is formed they can come to Church.
I was surprised to find Christmas is not mentioned as a feast in the Bible. After research I found it was a pagan festival covered up by re branding it as celebration of Christ's birth. He was not born in Winter and there are no instructions to celebrate His birth in the Bible, we are only instructed to to take the bread and wine as believers in remembrance of His body and blood given for us. I no longer celebrate c?mas.
1 Timothy 2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
Amazing how that verse is conveniently NOT quoted, isn't it??
Sooo, what if my husband would skip church if I didn’t speak up and say “ Let’s go to church “? This argument is ludicrous. Not every man is perfect, sometimes it takes a woman to motivate him. I had a coworker whose husband was a leader with Campus Crusade at the local university. Guess what? He was arrested and incarcerated for raping women at night in their homes, so, sorry, men will not rule over women, even in the church. 🤷🏽♀️
@primitivedaisy Ma'am. You're right. Your argument is ludicrous. 1) Talking your husband into going to church, isn't preaching or teaching in a public setting. 2) A criminal is a criminal. Doesn't matter who he works for and doesn't change God's commands. AND, last, but not least 3) No one said anyone should " rule" over anyone. We all have our jobs to do, and God, who created us, designed us for specific roles. Doesn't mean men are better than women or women should be treated like 2nd class citizens. Simple comparison. A 4WD p/u is created to roll through the woods on dirt roads or no roads. A Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, ain't. MOST people think the Silver Shadow is a " better car". BUT, if you have to drive 10 miles through a track less wilderness, that Shadow ain't gonna get it done. If a woman tries to pastor a church? The job just ain't gonna be done, Ma'am. Being " equal" doesn't mean we should all be able to do the same thing. And, not doing the same thing doesn't mean men are better than women, or vice versa.Just different..

4:05. You have to make sure that there is an inner sanctum of fellowship where believers are nurtured. Yes, we are to interact with unbelievers and even invite them to our gatherings, but the fellowship of the church needs to retain the key mission of nurturing believers. 5:26 female leadership has clear scriptural bounds. Women are equal heirs of salvation and can be greatly gifted and as wise as any man, but Paul never allowed women authority over men in the churches he started. 6:24. Unfortunately there is much judgment in church, the reasons for this are complex. It is important to remember that Jesus also never waters down the impact of sin, all are called to repentance. We can then walk with a clean conscience before God.
An important thing about "women in leadership" is that yes, women can and should have a standing in church leadership, but their roles or what they should or could do are separate from what men can. A woman can't fill the role of priest or deacon; she can, however, fill the role of a mother superior or a nun/sister. The same goes for the opposite; a man can't be a nun or mother superior, but he can be a priest or deacon. Everyone is created in the image and likeness of God and should be equally respected. However, it's essential to recognize that although we're all equal, we still have strengths and weaknesses. We should focus on building up our strengths and using them to serve God instead of focusing on weaknesses to either put others down or as a vain attempt to be "perfect."
The ideal setup (based on the bible) would be that men take on the "main" leadership roles that have to do more with teaching the word of God and more traditionally "masculine" tasks, and women would help on the more charity-focused or "feminine" front and would be there to tell the men when they're being stupid or what the people's needs are. (Like how Mary told Jesus that they needed more wine at the wedding and insisted on it even when he said, "his time hadn't come")
TLDR: The men are the "builders," and the women are the ones telling them what needs to be built.
(And to clarify, in case anyone gets mad, the "stupid" part is a joke. I just mean when they need a reality check or get too caught up in their pride to see their errors or other people's needs.) (Also, the wedding example is just an example of a woman directing a man or men. I'm not saying Jesus was being prideful or stupid. That in itself would be prideful and stupid)
That's true! It can be hard to hear sometimes, because we often (wrongly) think that one role is fundamentally more important than another, and because we do not tend to like the idea that our abilities are limited or predestined without our input; but just because something is hard to hear, or even offensive, is not reason to reject it!
Romans 12:4-5: "For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
1 Corinthians 12:17-20: "If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body."
If an ear tries to be an eye, it will not be very effective, and neither will an eye that tries to hear. But with each person fulfilling the role they were designed for, everyone is fulfilled and The Body functions smoothly.
Another problem is that, while the role of women in The Church is _far_ from the most important issue at hand, many churches that reject one teaching because it is uncomfortable also tend to reject others, or even commit apostasy.

However let's make it clear that woman should not pastor or hold authority over men as it was a command. Remember, the ends do not justify the means and God will not go against His own word
Yes and yet you all believe jesus is the god.
@@Depreezed God came as a burning bush, as a pillar of fire, as a man, and yet you are still doubting what our God is capable of? Was it not prophesized that He will come down to save humanity? If humanity could save itself then it would have done so by now and our God would be dwelling amongst us. God has made it relatively easy to come and be reconciled to Him but the hard part is sin reigning over us and causing us to continue to disobey. Faith is what pleases God, it is a form of obedience and worship that goes against our sin nature and it is a gift from God. May you ask Him for it, and believe in Jesus because there is no reason not to, I personally experienced the transformative power from the gospel that has saved me from destruction, both physically and spiritually
It's crazy in this day and age we still believe that the bible is Gods word, perfect and deserving of worship. Old testament and New testament has God words in them(which should be held in the highest regard) but large parts were not Gods direct word and only inspired by God. Crazy to not realize human nature and customs heavily impacted the OT laws and the letters of Paul. Want proof? Read the 613 OT laws and I dare you to tell me those are universal and will stand for all time and were not impacted by the Israelite/Jewish religious politicians and customs. The first 10 will make since forever, the other 603 are mixed with questionable laws. More proof? Read the 4 gospels and then read the letters of Paul, they are very different and you can easily tell that there is a different message and that Paul's previous role as a pharisee is more than apparent. Also, do you know who was the first person to spread the good news? Mary.... Crazy to think the majority of people think that if a women devotes her life to God and decides to preach and devote their life to the spreading of good news, God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are angered in heaven... Sounds a lot like the yeast of the pharisees are among us today.
@@Άθελι-παιδί-του-Θεού thats not written in the bible. Jesus is not a god according to him. I Timothy 2:4-7 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle-I am telling the truth, I am not lying-and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
@@DepreezedI think you need to learn how to read because He literally says He is God
I was with you right up until the subject of women pastoring in the church. The Bible is very clear that women are not to hold these positions, it has nothing to do with culture. Not even every man can hold those positions. The letters written to Timothy and Titus are very clear about the set up of the church. Paul goes as far as to take it back to Adam being created, then Eve, which eliminates the interpretation of culture playing any part in it. 1 Corinthians is very clear as well.
In most Bible versions, Phoebe is regarded as a servant, not a deacon. While there are women that played important roles in the 1st century church, not one assumed the role of a pastor, overseer, deacon, etc. We have to be careful about allowing our interpretations to contradict the Bible.
I think this is pretty great. There are a couple of things I think should be clarified, such as tithing being commanded in Malachi 3 in the Old Testament, but it’s pretty great to see someone putting lots of effort into this, and we have far more in common than differences.♥️
The Catholic church actually changed the Sabbath from Saturday for Sunday and has explicitly said that they did this as a MARK of their authority; so yeah, if you're a Sunday worshipper, you're honoring a Catholic change. Later, Protestants (those Protesting the Catholic church's beliefs) broke from the Catholic church, but still kept the day of worship the same as when they changed it, but simply dropped other customs. Saturday still is and always will be the proper Sabbath (aka Sabbath in Spanish IS SABADO).
Jesus is our sabbath
@@Johnhagan-sk5lv well-said.. it's not about a specific day.. Christ is our rest.
You are correct God set the 7th day aside as Holy & a day of rest & worship ( Saturday) at Creation.

Scripture also says in a few passages woman should not take authority over men.
Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

There are so many mistakes in this video. DO NOT trust a TH-cam video. Read the bible. The real one (KJV) and God will show you the truth. Put your trust in the real Word of God, not a video that a person has made.
@@gpknowles7174 The statements offered in the video make sense and are well motivated. I plan to consult AI on each issue to confirm. I need answers to each of the concepts. any published material should be investigated in any case.
The most serious fallacy I’ve encountered in church happened pretty recently. I discovered that within my church there is a serious belief that people are chosen to be Christians. I said you can’t be serious. I said do you know how many Pastors all across this country are trying to convince people of their assurance of salvation? I asked how do you know if you Are chosen? They said well you can’t. I actually was so floored by this that I became angry and stomped off. Later on the way home, God did reveal the truth to me and that was this who so ever Believeth. I don’t know what Paul was talking about and the other verses that mentioned being chosen in the Bible. But one thing I do know in my heart of hearts God did not create people just to burn in hell. People choose whether they know it or not to believe in God or not. My heart breaks for those who do not.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
- Ephesians 1:3-5
I grew up in a reformed church that believed the same. I left.
@@willIV9962 So many Calvinists quote this verse way too often. This verse doesn’t teach that God predestines some to heaven and others to hell. This verse makes it simple by assuring Christians that they have a promise from God that they will go to heaven when they die. That God will finish the good work within them that He started.
For that I always reference the verse about how God foreknew us. In other words, even if God does predestine us, it is based on Him knowing our choices ahead, not random chance. Therefore we still have free-will to give Him reason to pick us.
While I do agree with you, I recommend you research the ideas of predestination and calvinism vs arminianism in much more depth. There are a great many very wise Church leaders who believe in predestination of the elect, and, whether or not it is untrue, learning how they came to that conclusion as well as the good arguments for and against it is valuable theology.
I also disagreed with woman having church authority over a man in church 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy 3 tells us that women shouldnt be pastoring over any man but womens ministry only to the women believers
While you consider Pastor, also note that the term in the NT NEVER refers to what we call a pastor, rather it refers to a literal shepherd of the sheep or Christ himself. The plural of pastor (not the singular) occurs one time as a spiritual gift in Ephesians 4, which may be translated "pastors-and-teachers" or pastor-teachers. But in 1 Peter 5 the corresponding verb "to pastor" occurs as something that bishops=elders should do.
A great teaching of truth. . I’ve subscribed and liked from Ireland
1 Timothy 2:11-14 says. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Paul wrote this, and Jesus affirmed Paul in this ministry after resurrecting from the dead. Women can serve in the church teaching other women and children, but are not to have authority over men. They can encourage and pray for men, but not lead them at all. The Lord says so in His Word.
the Greek word used is "gyné" Which means "wife". It does not mean "any woman, whether married or single", it specifically means "woman who is married".
Adam & Eve were married to each other. Eve was a "wife".
@@p-a-m-channel2350 Wrong! See any lexicon, it will inform you that it (gyné) means 1. a woman of marriageable age and 2. wife. See for example Acts 22:4, Paul arrested "men and women (gynaikas)" Would you claim that Paul was only arresting husbands and wives? If gynaikas means wives then in 1 Tim 2:9 would you argue that only wives are to dress modestly, but that single women are free to show off the flesh in their dress? Paul is saying in 1 Tim 2 that mature women are not to teach or have authority. This command given with apostolic authority is not limited to the marriage relationship.
@@Wally-gm1pd
That's where you (and the academic reference book which you are trusting, which is not the Bible) are wrong.
"Gyné" does not mean "any woman of marriageable age, whether married or not". No first century Koiné Greek speaker would have misunderstood that word in that way.
The proof is found in 1Corinthians 7:34. It says the wife and the unmarried woman are different, then goes on to explain how they are different from each other. "Gyné" is the word used for "wife". The difference is, that the "gyné" has a husband, therefore the "gyné" has less freedom, compared to "she who has no husband" who has more freedom than the "gyné". You can't get clearer than that (and it's scripture). "Gyné" means a woman who has a husband. A woman who has no husband is not a "gyné".
(The word used for "female" in Galatians 3:28 is not "gyné", it is "thalé". "Thalé" means "anyone female, whether married or not". If Paul had wanted to forbid "anyone female, whether married or not" from speaking, he would have used the word "thalé" , but he did not forbid the "thalé" from speaking in church. Paul forbade the "gyné" (the married woman) from speaking (in church, in the presence of her husband while both are in public).
See also Matthew 19:4-19:5. "Male" & "female" are "arsein" & "thalé" in verse 4. But in verse 5, "gynaikos" (accusative case of "gyné") is "wife". You can't get much clearer than that.
The Greek-speaking recipients of Paul's letters did not need anyone to explain to them that "gyné" means "a married woman"/"a wife", because they already knew that. What they did not realise (therefore needed to have explained to them) was the practical consequences of being a "wife" (namely, that a "wife" (gyné) has less freedom than "she who has no husband"). You need to get yourself an Interlinear Literal Translation, if you study that, the matter becomes clear. Trinitarian Bible Society is one reputable publisher that supplies a good Interlinear translation of both OT and NT in one volume.
Regarding Acts, it is quite possible that a Christian's wife would be arrested & jailed along with her husband. That's a reasonable translation of the verse. (It's not unusual for a criminal's family to be punished along with a criminal, in historic times. In the times of Charles Dickens, in England, the entire family of a debtor would go to the debtors prison along with their relative who owed the debt). Arresting the wife along with the husband added to the persecution being practiced by the authorities against Christians, it put more pressure on married Christians to apostatise, if they did not only have to think about their own personal safety. That's one reason why Paul told married Christians (in 1Corinthians 7) that if they have an unbelieving spouse, and the spouse wants to desert the Christian, the Christian should let the non-believing spouse go free. (Staying with a Christian spouse could mean life or death for the unbelieving spouse, when anti-Christian persecution was going on). 1Corinthians 7 (the whole chapter) gives a lot of insight into how difficult being married was, for Christians during a time when the civil and Jewish authorities were practicing active & widespread persecution against Christians.
Regarding the clothing, unmarried women dressed more modestly than wives, so did not need to be told to dress modestly, because they already did so. There's two types of modesty: sexual modesty and financial modesty. Braided hair was a reference to sexual modesty or the lack thereof. Expensive clothing was a reference to financial modesty or the lack thereof - expensive clothing was a status symbol. An unmarried woman would feel no temptation to look sexually alluring in order to keep a husband that she did not have. The unmarried woman would also have no status of her own (nor a husband's status) to exhibit by wearing status-symbol clothing. The social pressure would all be on a wife, to keep her husband's interest in her body privately and to flaunt his wealth in public.
Whether you like it or not, in 1Timothy 2, Paul was forbidding a WIFE from teaching her own HUSBAND or having authority over her own HUSBAND. It was that specific. If a wife treated her own husband in that way, it would subvert Ephesians 5:22-5:33 (which is also specifically limited to being about the marriage relationship between husband and wife. Nobody says "hey, 'gyné' could mean 'any woman, regardless of martial status' here" when translating Eph 5:22-5:33. Translators all admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' at this point in scripture. They admit that 'gyné' means 'married woman' while translating 1Cor 7:34 (they really have no choice but to admit that fact, while translating 1Cor 7:34). They admit that 'gyné' means 'wife' while translating 1Cor 7:2-7:5 (it could only possibly mean 'married woman' and 'wife' in that passage, also. There's absolutely no way that God would require any unmarried woman to fornicate on demand with any man who is not her husband! THINK! And 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is not a command for every single Christian to get married - if it was, it would contradict the verses later on in the same chapter in which single Christians are commended/told that they are free to stay unmarried/it's OK for them to have allowed unbelieving spouses to have divorced them/will do better than married people/have more freedom to serve God. Clearly, the entire chapter leaves us in no doubt that marriage is not compulsory for Christians, and singleness is good).
So 1Cor 7:2-7:5 is all the proof that you need that the only possible translation of "gyné" is "wife". (But you've also got 7:34 and Eph 5:22-5:33). So why don't translators do the honest thing and admit that "all other occurrences of 'gyné' also mean 'wife', because 'a woman who is married' is what the word 'gyné' means"?
You also can not give me one New Testament verse in which the word "gyné" could only possibly mean a "single woman" and could not possibly be translated as "married woman". That's not surprising, when the word 'gyné' only means "a woman who is married" (and in at least 3 places in NT scripture, "married woman" is the only possible translation of the word "gyné").
@@p-a-m-channel2350you sir have twisted your head around logic and the scriptures to fit your own desires. Just look at the facts and stop playing mental gymnastics. Every single positive example you will find in the Bible the woman (married or unmarried) is in the submissive and not leadership role. Every one. You are trying to justify your own desires.
I have never understood why women shouldnt speak because eve was deceived while adam sinned with his eyes wide open. but women can still speak to women and raise children. Surely this is only down to misogyny. God didnt put men in authority over women. It was a curse of the fall not a command. Christian women should not be under the curse. We are all one in christ
Awesome points , I have been preaching this for years now, yet I'm met with so much hostility and majority is from " church goers "
Thank you..
Keep going there are those 'churchgoers' think they know everything... Blessings to you ❤
This video is not Biblical, it is not Christian. If you preach this then you are a false preacher spreading heresy.
I believe a lot of Timothy's teaching was because a pretty woman (single or married) could have far more influence on Church business than a man. Not the woman's fault but because of a man's desire to find favor with her.
Also I don't believe Timothy is speaking about an anointed woman lead by the spirit of God (she is not needing to be taught by church goers how to carry the message that God has gave her).
God has used women through out history to get His work done. Jesus came to the defense of women time and time again.
Like it or not a woman will be much quicker in standing up for the injustices of the world than a man. A woman is usually the one that teaches her children about God and builds a foundation that proves that it is never wrong to be kind.
It was men who started wars that caused women to have to take roles in the church to keep it going here in the United States.
To add insult to injury, here in the deep south the pastors speak about Trump as if he is the second coming while trying to preach morality to the congregation in the same breath.
I have yet to hear about a woman preacher doing such a stupid thing in the pulpit.
@@alabamaflip2053 That message was nonsense.
You are aware that along with women, most men are not to be pastors or overseers? The text is clear. We should not want to go beyond what is written. We must hold fast to the trustworthy word as we have been taught.
You appear to be using your imagination and eisegeting the text. Don't blame men for wars and don't exalt women as being responsible for justice. That is nonsense shame on you.
No one in the church can deny women have a place. You don't get to make stuff up on your feelings and stay within the church. It doesn't work like that. Sounds like you don't know the Bible and listen to false preachers all day.
Ben Franklin told Congress, "Your purpose here is not the exercise of power, but serving the people." Good luck w that.
Ecxellent work! I’ve long believed there is something off in most traditional church services! Down to the day, Sunday! I’ve recently been reading and learning as much as possible about what Yahushua wanted to see from HIS church!
Church, which church, biblical church or sectarian churches, Bible there is only one church, but church came first or new testament gospel book came first, all Christians believe and confess that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour , and believe in their heart Jesus Christ died and rose again they are all saved by grace through faith. Praise Jesus.
Jesus came and established a Church, not write a book. The Church wrote the Bible for God's people. The Church has more authority since the first 400 years Christians didn't have a Bible. When most everyone was illiterate after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Church taught, lead and protected God's people for right worship of Him. Bible alone is unBiblical and a man-made-up tradition from 500 years ago.
Wonderful video...some thoughts:
10) Absolutely! With the new covenant, Christians are the body of the church with Jesus as the head.
9) Yes (when it comes to the exact order)! But there are consistent patterns where God's will for all Christians is demonstrated by the early churches: Assemble on the first day (Sunday aka "Lord's Day"), have the Lord's Supper when assembling, etc.
8) Yes! All humans are different, and the Holy Spirit works differently in each Christian. Whatever the Christian should do based on their abilities, they should do (preach, teach, etc).
7) YES! Give from the heart and with joy.
6) Yep. The Sabbath was pre-new covenant only. With Christianity, the Lord's day is the first day of the week, Sunday.
5) YES! The more diverse, the better too.
4) Good gracious yes! All humans are imperfect. Denominations are anti-Christian.
3) Absolutely! The Bible contains God's will that's for all-of-time and situational (just that time/location). Any New Testament scripture that is gender-limiting when it comes to ministry is because of a specific situation at that specific location at that time in the 1st century.
2) Correct. It's God's will for humans to use their free will that when they are single they are righteously single, or if they are married they are righteously married (completely committed to each other).
1) Yes, but what most Christians do not do, but should is be open for spiritual constructive criticism in order to grow deeply for/with God together.
@@mlwilliams4407 Sunday worship is LIE
@@mlwilliams4407 Lord's day, according to the scripture, IS Saturday SABBATH, not the man-made Sunday Sabbath.
@@mlwilliams4407 many Christians today professed to follow Christ, but they don't want to follow His commandments. It was Christ who wrote the 10 commandments, which were written in the stones. In the bible, there are 3 instant where God's wrote:
1. 10 commandments
2. When pronouncing judgment of belshazzar (descendant of Nebuchadnezzar) written in Daniel
3. When Jesus wrote on the ground all the sins of the people who caught a woman commuting adultery then the people about to stone the woman.
So what God had written is something that no man can change.
@@dorrien10 The Sabbath, as established in the Old Testament, was indeed on the seventh day, Saturday, and was deeply important to Israel as a sign of God’s covenant with His people (Exodus 20:8-11). In the New Testament, however, there's a shift in worship practices among believers, beginning with Jesus’ resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week (Sunday) and is called the ‘Lord’s Day’.
The apostles and early Christians consistently gathered on the first day of the week to break bread, worship, and fellowship, as seen in Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2. They did this to commemorate Jesus’ resurrection and to symbolize the new covenant. This gathering became central to Christian worship, which differed from the Sabbath observance commanded in the Old Testament.
Paul discusses the Sabbath in Colossians 2:16-17, teaching that Christians are not bound by Old Testament festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths, as these were "a shadow of things to come" with Christ as the fulfillment.
By the end of the first century, Sunday had definitively become known as the "Lord’s Day," as seen in Revelation 1:10. Early Christian writings outside the Bible, like those of Ignatius of Antioch and Justin Martyr, also reflect that Christians observed Sunday as the primary day of worship, in honor of Christ’s resurrection. This wasn’t a man-made change but a shift rooted in the new covenant and the consistent practices of the earliest believers.
Hope this helps.
@mlwilliams4407 what you have said is a very great deception. Paul never ever suggest to change to great Law of 10 commandments.
You are quoting the revelation that John was in Lord's day when he received the revelation. But nowhere it was said that it was Sunday.
Saturday is the real Lord's day. For Christ Himself said He is the Lord of Sabbath.
Paul, who is apostle if Christ, was never ever suggest that the Sabbath was changed. It in fact is and undeniable truth at his time and our time.
The Sunday worship is by Papal Rome, who is the great harlot of the revelation, the Babylon who had fallen, fallen.

I’m a white male Trump voter looking for a friend who shall become closer than a brother. I’m married so, not like that. I'm hoping to find a man like me who is just ready to move to Spain and/or Ireland by 2028. Why? Because I am and reality works opposite of Hollywood. Finding "a native" to teach me Spanish only works IF you’re paying one. Otherwise, exchanges don't work! The Spaniard is looking to speak English. Whereas I never will speak one word of English in Spain, they feel the opposite! So, the goals are in opposition. However, if you let me teach you Spanish FOR FREE, our goals will be the same. Has to be Spain, though. The difference between countries is worlds apart! Not to stir things up but, the bible in English is wrong, wrong, wrong!

You flunked on the "women leaders" in the assembly. Read 1st. Timothy 2; and 1st. Corinthians 14.
women leaders not in authority over men would be correct belittling women as uneducated is wrong and you will find lots of women in leadership roles because men are refusing to take the lead!
😢 Very joyful with the many correct comments posted. Good Job.
As far as 'Failing' for teaching that Women are allowed Leadership Positions in the Church; he did not.
One must carefully look at the way the question was phrased.
LEADERSHIP is a far cry from PASTOR or ELDER.
Leadership roles exist and are occupied by many a Faithful Sister in Christ.
What is NOT ALLOWED is the position of a Called Shepherd or Elder, preaching and teaching to a mixed Congregation, while in Church is in Service.
He Slyly slide that verbiage in without making a distinction.
So glad that we have Scholars in the Audience.
2nd Timothy 3:15 is perfect for mistakes or erroneous declarations like that.
Be Well. ❤

Thank you for your simple explanation. I'm Praying for the Unity of believers.
All people are welcome in our church: believers and unbelievers.
The Roman Catholic Church decreed that priests should not marry because married priests left their savings to their widow. The Church wanted that money for itself. It's clear from the Bible that celibacy is not for everyone. It was recommended but not mandatory. Thus the Church began to take those men into the priesthood who were less attracted to women than average. Their ability to understand normal people was diminished, and abnormal relationships resulted.

One of the top 10 should have called out the papacy, which is not biblical at all. Peter was not a pope, he was an apostle. The roman catholic church as titled did not even exist before 380 a.d.. Before then it was known as "The Way" (The way of salvation through Christ). The term "Christian" started out as an insult to believers of Christ in the early days when persecution was widespread among the majority of the populations. It was adopted by Christians because it perfectly describes the followers of Christ.
Priesthood is also not biblical in the new testament, the new covenant. Jesus Christ is our ONLY intercessor between man and God, (which is also Jesus, btw). Deacons and pastors can be translated in the new testament, but not 'priest'. Jesus is THE priest of his church, and there is no pope, but there are leaders in the church. Each assembly was local before they came up with papacy as part of the roman decree.
The reason the romans did this was to control the growing power of Christianity as well as bring under control the pagan sects that were spread across the known world. That's when catholicism went off the rails from the apostolic age into the patristic age, when in order to bring the pagans into the fold and part of the number of the church, pagan ritual and idolatry were allowed into "Catholicism".
It would benefit everyone to learn the real history of Christianity, but start with reading the bible and expand from there. Then you will know Christ AND what people have done rightly and wrongly in his name.
Love this....very straight forward, bold, precise and to the point. The Lord be with you!

#3 Women in leadership. While big picture, you address correctly, it's failing to address the focus of what has been occurring. In your identifying two examples ... .Phoebe's "deaconess" title ... when examined from the original Greek ... is servant .... not the "genderized" version of 1 Tim 3.
Priscilla and her husband.... corrected Paul in private. As was righteous and proper.
Those are HARDLY offices in the Church which is where almost all of these discussions arrive ... women pastors/overseers, women elders, women deacons ... are NOT Biblical. Husband of one wife in all 3 of these. (which excludes widowers, btw)
women certainly have leadership roles ... as Believers. But I think the exclusion is related to the picture of the relationship the Church should have with Jesus Christ ... and marriage. Certainly there's no confusion about the Biblical definition and ordinance of marriage.
Omitted in this list are some profoundly erroneous teachings about End Times which will adversely affect the preparation of the Believer. Wasn't terribly relevant 100 years ago ... but it's becoming more relevant every day.
Tribulation isn't 7 years .... it's 42 months ... and the gathering/"rapture" isn't pre tribulation, it's POST tribulation but PRE Wrath of The Lamb.
Why do I need the "extra oil" of Matt 25 if the Bridegroom is coming to "fetch us" before sunset? 2 Thess 2, revelation of the man of lawlessness necessarily precedes the "gathering." That revelation when he stops the resumed sacrifice (Dan 9:27) .... he'll be a signatory of the confirmed covenant, but not revealed until the middle of that 7, which starts the 42 months.
intended to add ...
there is a "concurrent 7 years" but it is not the 7 of Daniel 9:27 ....
It's of Rev 19 and EZ 39 ...
Heaven: The bema seat/wedding feast of The Lamb
Earth: Cleanup of the Meggido Valley after Armageddon. (probably by the 144K sent to the "prepared place" for 42 months prior)
Can you do a biblical video on women leadership on the church? I’ve always understood that women can have leadership positions just not the ultimate head position in the church. Although I knew all your other points in your video were not biblical, it was informative and entertaining nonetheless. Thank you and be blessed.
Yes absolutely I’ll put it in my list! Thank you for watching and your support !
Women can lead within a church, just not as head pastor or elders. They can lead other women or children, etc. Women have a valuable role to play as long as they are not preaching over men.
Here are the notes on this from my Hebrew/Greek key study bible:
1 Cor 14:33-40
The question frequently asked concerning this portion of scripture is ‘does the apostle Paul forbid women to speak at all or to pray or prophesy in church?’ This particular passage must be related to what has gone before in the speaking in an unknown tongue which was the practice in Corinth. Across the bay from Corinth was Delphi, Greece’s most famous centre of oracles. It is impossible that what was happening at Delphi did not affect the Corrinthians since inter-commerce was common. As in many other cities, there was also a Corinthian treasury in Delphi. Those who wished to consult the Delphic oracle first sacrificed a sheep, goat, boar or other animal, after which, if the omens were favourable, they went into the room adjoining the Adyton or inner shrine. It is interesting that Paul in 1 Cor 8 deals with sacrifice to idols, no doubt influenced by these Delphic sacrifices. At the inner shrine they waited their turn, which was determined by lot unless they had received from the Delphians the promanteia, or prior right of consultation. No women were admitted. They handed in questions written on leaden tablets, many of which have been discovered. The pythia, or priestess (note that it was a priestess not a priest) who delivered the oracle was a peasant woman over fifty years of age. At the height of the oracle’s fame there were three priestesses. After purifying herself in the Castalian fountain (see baptismoi, 909 ablutions practiced) drinking of the water of the Kassotis (note the parallelism in 1 Cor 12:13 ‘and we all drank of one spirit’), and eating a laurel leaf, she took her seat upon a tripod which was placed over the chasm of the Adyton. Intoxicated by the fumes from the chasm, she uttered incoherent soundswhich were interpreted (observe speaking in an unknown tongue and the interpretation of it) in hexameter verse by a waiting poet. The interpretation, which was always obscure and frequently equivocal, was handed over to the enquirer who usually returned home more mystified than when he had come. (Source: Stuart Rossiter, Greece; London: Earnest Benn, Ltd. P. 400)
What Paul wrote in 1 Cor 14:33-40, therefore, was undoubtedly influenced by this practice and the predominant participation of women at the oracles of Delphi. They were not allowed to go into the inner shrine, but it was a woman who was the priestess. Is it any wonder that Paul reacted to a practice so closely related to such paganism within the Christian church?
Paul’s comments in 1 Cor 11:2-16 in regard to the covering of the women’s head were a reaction to the existence of a thousand priestesses at the temple of Aphrodite on Acrocorinth. These priestesses, or temple prostitutes, were commonly seen without any covering on their heads and having short hair, unbecoming to a modest woman of those days. Paul’s concern, therefore, was that Christian women should never allow themselves to be viewed in any way as resembling those of a low moral stature. In 1 Cor 11:3, 16 his concern is that a woman in worship should very clearly be identified as a moral woman, if by nothing else than the long hair or the covering of her head.. After all, if one of the prostitutes became saved, the only way she could enter an assembly of believers was to wear a covering (peribolaion, 4018, 1 Cor 11:15) instead of long hair which would take a while to grow. This was the practice particularly in Corinth in view of the evil behaviour which was so nearby at Acrocorinth. It was a good custom that had local meaning. Why flaunt it and produce quarreling within the Christian church? This was Paul’s argument. This passage becomes clearer if we examine the conclusion in v. 16 ‘But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.’ Good customs that are meaningful locally ought not to be resisted, but to be kept for what they symbolise. This was the general principle enunciated in 1 Cor 11:2-16 and similarly in chapter 14:33-40, but this time not in regard to Acrocorinth, but in regard to Delphi. A priestess who speaks incoherently and leads men astray as in Delphi? Never! That was Paul’s point of view.
The main verse that constitutes the foundation of all that Paul says in 1 Cor. 14 is v. 33 ‘For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.’ Actually, the word ‘author’ does not occur in the Greek text. It simply states that He is not a God of confusion. The interpreter of the oracles at Delphi always gave an ambiguous interpretation which would please the recipient and never expose the priestess who gave it, whereas God does not speak to confuse men. The verse applies to all that preceded it and all that follows it concerning the speaking of women in the churches. Paul makes it clear that in all the other churches, there was no confusion such as there was in the Corinthian church to which He was writing. The peace of the other churches and lack of confusion was due to the fact that there was not the same practice of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Corinthians, perhaps allowing their women to imitate the Delphic priestesses. The prohibition of women speaking in churches may have come from such practices.
. . . (continued.)
Another very important instruction of Paul is found in vv. 39-40, closing this discussion that actually begins with 1 Cor 12. Paul’s conclusion, ‘Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy,’ or be zealous about prophesying. This is in the present infinitive which refers to constantly giving forth the word of God. Because there was confusion among them, it didn’t mean that they should stop te3aching or witnessing. ‘And to speak in tongues do not prohibit.’ Again, it is in the present imperative, koluete (2967), meaning ‘When a person does not speak our own language, do not forbid him to minister in his own language which can be interpreted.’ In v. 40, Paul closes by saying, ‘Let all things be done decently and in order.’ Again, the imperative is ginestho, ‘should be done,’ the present imperative of ginomai (1096), which means ‘to let it be continuously and repetitively.’ This as a principle applies to all the churches (v. 34) although it was born out of a practice existing only in Corinth. Therefore, his instructions to the Corinthians from vv. 34-38 are to be applied among all the churches. When Paul says in v. 34 ‘Your women in the churches, let them be silent,’ it was not an instruction to the men in general in any church not to permit any women to speak, but for husbands to guide and teach their own wives lest they produce confusion and disturbance in a meeting, particularly with their exercise of a gift that they thought they had and were so anxious to externalise; namely, speaking in an unknown tongue as was the manner of the Delphic priestesses. The verb lalein, the infinitive of laleo (2980), has been exclusively used in this whole discussion in speaking both in foreign languages and also particularly in the speaking of the unknown tongue of Corinth. The reason he uses laleo and not lego (3004) is because laleo refers to the mere utterance of sounds without the speaker necessarily knowing what he is saying or others understanding. Lego on the other hand is saying something that is the product of one’s thought. Naturally no thinking person will speak without others understanding him. Therefore, Paul uses laleo because among the Corinthiansstress was placed upon the languages themselves and not necessarily the content of the speech involved. Since Paul in 1 Cor 11:5 assumes that a woman prays and prophesies, and this cannot refer to only a restricted group then the word laleo in 1 Cor 14:34-35, if taken to be speaking generally, would contradict 1 Cor 11:5. There can be no contradiction in what Paul says, even as there is no contradiction in what he says about himself speaking in languages more than them all (1 Cor 14:18) and at the same time telling them in v. 23 that if a strangercame and heard them speak all at once in their unknown tongue, he would think they were all mad or maniacs. Paul would not include himself as a maniac! In v. 18 he speaks of his knowledge of various languages. In v. 19 he says that he would rather speak 5 understandable words than 10,000 which were not understood. Paul would have someone translate his words if it were necessary. This is the orderly procedure of communicating a message. He refers to the same thing exactly in 1 Cor 14: 34-38. The word ‘laleo’ in 1 Cor 14:34 must mean to speak in many languages together, which brings confusion, instead of speaking in one language which the people understood either directly or by translation, or speaking in an unknown tongue which the people could not understand. It cannot mean to speak with understanding and being understood.
. . . (continued.)
One cannot take Paul’s indirect imperative in 1 Cor 14:34 ‘Let your women keep silence in the churches,’ as absolute. It must be taken in conjunction with what follows: ‘for it is not permitted for them to speak.’ The word ‘speak’ as we explained is ‘lalein’ which should be taken to mean ‘uttering sounds which are incoherent and which are not understood by others.’ Paul says that instead of having anything like that, it is better to have silence. Paul uses the same word for ‘keeping silence’ in v. 28 when a man speaks in an unknown tongue without an interpreter. Also the same imperative sigato, ‘let him keep silent,’ is used in v. 30, ‘if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.’ Actually that phrase, ‘let him hold his peace’ is the same word meaning ‘let him keep silent.’ That is a man, not a woman. What Paul is saying is that only one must speak at a time. If two speak at once there will be confusion. That ‘let him keep silent’ is, therefore qualified even as the sigatosan of v. 34 in the case of the woman. The verb sigao (4601) is used by Homer only in the imperative with the meaning of ‘hush, be still’ (Liddell and Scott’s Greek lexicon.) The imperatives here indicate linear action, i.e., it is not something that has a continuous effect but the action can be thought of as a line of line of dots. Every time one of these three actions appear on the scene during a worship service, the person should hush, be it a man or a woman. In the first two instances it concerns men and in the last women: (1) if a man speaks in an unknown language without anyone interpreting into a language the that others can understand; (2) if a man speaks and somebody else gets up to speak, and (3) if a woman begins to act like Delphic priestesses speaking in an unknown tongue.
Under no circumstances does the injunction of Paul in 1 Cor 14:34 indicate that women should not utter a word at any time during a church service. It is not men versus women or women versus men, but it is confusion versus order. It makes no difference who causes the confusion. It is as bad if produced by men as it is when produced by women.
Furthermore, the word gunaikes (1135) in v. 34 should not be translated as ‘women’ in its generic sense, but as ‘wives.’ It is wives who should submit (hupotassomai, 5293) to their own husbands (andras, 435, v. 35.) The whole argument is not the subjection of women to men in general, but of wives to their own husbands in the family unit as ordained by God. Paul states the principle that it was the duty of the husbands to restrain their own wives from such displays. It does not state that a man should restrain the wife of another. It is a shame for any woman to bring confusion into the local church (v. 35), even as it is for any man to do so. Whenever Paul speaks of submissiveness on the part of the woman, it is always on the part of a wife to her own husband. It does not imply that a woman, simply because she is a woman, must be submissive to any man, simply because he is a man.
You forgot to metion in 1Ti chapter 4 on marriage. Forbidding to mary and eating meat is a doctrine of demons.
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, AND COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.
You left out some parts.
"nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude" - Meaning, if you can't bring yourself to be grateful for something, it's not good for you to receive.
Elsewhere, it is stated that if it would cause my brother to sin, then I will not eat meat. - Meaning don't eat meat around a vegetarian if you know it would grieve or incite them. By good Christian teachings, such an act is tantamount to a spiritual assault.
Likewise, people were instructed not to even ask about the origin of the meat in the marketplace, not because its method of slaughter was bad or because it was offered to idols which are nothing. For both of these reasons as well as the one before, these directives are solely for the sake of maintaining good conscience .
Paul directly said that it is *good* not to touch a woman, but it is because of sexual immoralities that man and woman are united in marriage. He also goes onto say that he wishes all were like him, meaning celibate, girding one's loins if you will.
The Bible clearly states that celibacy is ideal for those who are capable of controlling themselves because it allows one to fully dedicate their lives to God. However, if someone lacks such self-control, then marriage is good because the alternative is to burn in desire. When a married body behaves in the way God intended, marriage will relieve these impulses without sin. However, the downside is that a husband and wife will inevitably prioritize one another's needs instead of serving God first. That's not "bad", per se. It's just how it is.
(Definitely _not_ a sufficient reason to actually institute a _requirement_ of celibacy among clergy. Such men are exceptional, not the standard. The Bible details qualities of the inscrutably faithful family man as the ideal leader of community churches for good reason, methinks. Good marriage means they'll be well cared for and much less likely to succumb to temptations, thus preventing slander against the church by nonbelievers.)
Regardless of my opinions, these are both very nuanced subjects, and cherry-picking a few verses like we've done here is rarely sufficient to demonstrate such details.
Lord, forgive those hypocrites of hatred. The bible was written centuries before the great schism and Reformation. Learn church history brothers and sisters. It is heresy to believe God is some kind of magician who gives out money. Be careful, God requires humility not arrogance.

There are a lot of good information, in this article. I wonder if the info re: tithe is complete, though. I looked it up, in the Bible and it does say, in Matt. 23:23, "Woe unto to you, scribes and Pharicees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin" and it goes on to say they omit of the law and paying attention to the people of God. Luke 18: 12 also addresses this. I have noticed that paying tithe, even when income is low makes my money go further. It is a good plan, when the church uses it correctly, which was mentioned in the old testament, Gen: 14:20, and 28:22: and Lev. 27:30. God bless you for sharing this information.
1. Worshipping "Mary". 2. Praying to and worshipping statues. Both are condemned in the 10 Commandments.
You are very right, 100 percent. Sadily the Catholic Church is far far far from the bible, have adopted false religion practice, like Islam have taken a lot from the Jew’s holy book and from christanity, and added a lot of man’s evil desires along with hatred and revenge all this is not from God, God is holy, pure, loving and kind, God is almighty.
I think the pope is the antichrist!
Please read something on this topic. You're just guessing. You guys are do sad.
Sabbath was observed 85 times in the book of Acts.
After Romans made the day of rest Sunday in 321 Christians in Rome followed it.
Other places didn't change until the inquisitions charged them with Judaizing.
Being killed is an incentive to change your day of worship
Galatians 5:1
I've seen teaching on TV which includes a quote supposedly from a Roman Catholic catechism that uses the change of day as evidence that the Church has the authority to do so. So far, I have been unable to verify this serious accusation. (Sidenote: the primary influences in my background have been largely Protestant, including a well known Sabbath keeping denomination. I prefer not to identify with any particular denomination beyond saying Protestant.)
@tjmaverick1765 You are talking "Moses law" under the Pharisees. Primarily circumcision in your verse.
Jesus tells us to follow the Commandments. Observe the Sabbath to keep it Holy is a Commandment.
Sabbath is never criticized anywhere or changed.
@geraldhill7547 the old law has already been fulfilled. Jesus is our rest. Christ died in vain if you hold on to the old law.
Under Moses law No work was permitted on the Sabbath, including baking, cooking, traveling, kindling a fire, gathering wood, buying and selling, and bearing burdens.
That is not the Commandment of God. Jesus showed that throughout the new testament.
Beavers and Bees observe the Sabbath, praise Jesus 👏
Priscilla is never without her husband in the scriptures which leads me to believe she merely supported him

Responses to numbers 1, 3, 7, & 10:
10.) There is a building called “the Church” in the NT:
1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
7.) Tithing is still a Bible requirement. 1Cor 12:4-7 was in regard to offerings. Tithing was not just under the Law, but before the law (Gen 14:18-20) and after the Law in the NT Church:
Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
Heb 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
3.) Women are allowed to teach women (Titus 2:4) but not to “lead men”. Aquila and Priscilla shared the Gospel with a lost man (which is good) but that is not the same things as exercising authority over the Church:
1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
The number one “un-Biblical belief in Churches” should be “accept Jesus as your personal Savior for salvation”. That isn’t Biblical.
Salvation plan: Acts 2:38
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Gen 14:20 was a tenth of tithe given to Melchizedek from Abraham. It’s explanation is in Hebrews 7:2-3
🚨🚨 TITHING WAS ONLY FOR ANCIENT YISRAEL 🍇⭐⭐🚨 TO BUILD THE TEMPLE 🕍
As a challenge to your faith, just tithe. Your walk with God will change. You'll be so much more aware of God's blessings.God wants us to tithe,for sometimes we forget that everything belongs to Him.Let us be grateful and generous to give back what is already His.lest we rob Him..offerings on the other hand that is what you give out of a cheerful heart.But biblically speaking -Tithe is 10% of What God should get
(Malachi 3:10).
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
We don no want to Rob God as the ancient Israelites
Malachi 3:8-10
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation
No temple around today - hasn't been for almost 2000 years. I thought Jesus told the disciples to go and preach and heal and such, not charging anything - "freely you have received - freely give". Paul is nothing but a liar - should people ever dare to compare the teaching of Jesus to what Paul taught. Paul taught many things - mostly against what he'd told others or against what God or Jesus taught. NMick2658 is just deluded because he's just parroting what he was told.
@ do you believe in the Bible?
#3 you are correct. Some churches have chosen pieces and part of the letters of The apostles as commandments. They were letters sent from one person to a church to address specific situations in THAT church. They weren’t commandment for today. Paul also said in one of his letters to kiss each other with a Holy kiss, I don’t see that in any churches today. Women can be deacons and teach. If that isn’t true then all of it is suspect. I’m sure in one church a woman was disruptive and Paul said she should be silent, doesn’t make it a commandment. God made man and woman as his image to represent him. God didn’t make women subordinate. He made them different than men.
Martin Luther even had to eliminate books from the Bible and add the word “only” in a couple verses to make the Bible fit his innovative and man made beliefs.
He was a 👹
Sounds like jw's . Every version of the Bible has significant changes. We have brains, we can figure it out. Bottom line, JESUS is our savior and we must have complete faith in HIM.

I am so fortunate to be involved in a church where the leaders know all of these items.
I have been trying to tell people about my video on Colossians 2:16 but TH-cam refuses to allow me to post this comment.
I'm aware of that passage.
The modern-day church is something that would cause the first and second century Christians to feel disappointed and revolted. A church that constantly talks about being "about Jesus" and how "we follow the teachings of Paul because our Lord sent him to us" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Modern-day churches cherry pick the words of Christ and Paul while entirely ignoring or finding excuses as to why they refuse to follow their steps entirely. Everyone wants to talk about how Christ "fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17) the Law, meaning we don't have to follow it. FALSE. In the SAME BREATH Jesus also says "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets" and then says, "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Has the earth and heaven passed away??? NO! False teachings are overwhelming in today's church's so that they won't make your life uncomfortable. Even Paul in Acts 25:8 states, "I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.” Meaning Paul kept the Torah, kept the Sabbath, kept the holidays! "We are the church that follows Christ and Paul's teachings" LIES, you cherry pick the ones you want! Christ said if you love me then keep my commandments, and if you are a Trinitarian, then you believe Christ is God, meaning the TORAH IS HIS COMMANDMENTS! So what does "fulfill" mean??? It's taking about the fulfillment of the coming prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)! Jesus TAUGHT the FULLNESS of the LAW, given to Israel by Moses from God! The amount of Roman and Greek influence on the church today is horrible. So many verses are taken out of context and abused, all so that we Christians can be comfortable in our sins. Gentiles must adhere to Jewish sexual purity laws and refrain from eating blood and food sacrificed to idols (Acts 15:6-21). Today's Christians are in just as much of spiritual Egypt as the Jews are. Everyone has been warned. But like Jeremiah preaching repentance for 40 years before Jerusalem and Israel fell, this too will largely fall of deaf ears, full of excuses, all so that one might continue to roll in mud like pigs all while proclaiming "It's fine! Jesus will make me clean by the end! Jump on in and enjoy this sin with me!" Fully believing that because our salvation is not found in Law but in grace means a lack of following in the footsteps of Jesus and Paul means still salvation and we can do anything we want. Turn back to God and leave the Roman, Greek, Gentile teachings behind. "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4.
Are you saying that Christian's must follow the mosaic laws? If that the case then why even call ourselves Christian's? Why not just convert to Judaism and call it a day. Let's do that and follow all those what over 600 laws?
@@captainmartin1219smh you just don't get it do you know why God choose the Hebrews cause da world didn't know him at all the whole world was worshiping idols so he made his self known to them so they can tell the world who he is and how he want us to live the church is lying to you making you think the laws he gave was just for the Hebrews you are being mislead by false teachings matter fact I know you heard da greatest lie ever told that we can't be perfect dats a lie Jesus said ye = you must be perfect like me and my father that's in heaven, and one more thing the churches do that we not supposed to do is pray with people around people or in churches he said don't do that he said it's a private Convo between you and the father only people always want to do want they want and not what the father wants
You’ll need more exposition on #3 to be convincing.
It’s already on my list! Thanks for watching !
The Greek word used for deacon (in regards to Phoebe), is also used of Jesus in John. It can simply mean servant. Jesus was not a deacon in a church!
1 Timothy 2 is 100% clear.
This guy has discredited himself here!
The Sabbath is made for man. Not only Jews. He set aside the 7th day blessed and sanctified it for holy use at creation, Genesis 2. Our Creator and his law don't change, and it's one law for all. Plus the Sabbath will be kept in heaven, Isaiah 66 so why wouldn't we now?
How do i learn this graphics of yours?
“Deacon” refers to a Christian who “SERVES WITH CHURCH ELDER’s and Overseers,” not a leader or pastor of the church. (Timothy 2:12 I do NOT permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a MAN, she must be quiet.) There is a reason it’s a book and not a just passage. 5:38
I agree, Oh Lord help us to be the church you designed ❤
"Praying" on public forums is very close to paganism.
The major thing that is not Biblical in most Churches is Church on Sunday. The scripture says “the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God and a majority of churches have abandoned that scripture to attend Church on Sunday which is a Catholic tradition.
And yet both Acts and Paul speak about the Christian community gathering on the first day of the week. The Day of the Resurrection, Sunday, supercedes the Old Testament sabbath.
Yep. Christians gathering on the first day is in the Bible.
@@ClintGreen-nv3xr That’s your story and you’re sticking to it!
@@ClintGreen-nv3xr there was NEVER and instant in bible where Christ changed the Sabbath. For He is the Lord even of Sabbath. For even Jesus mentioned in bible that even the heaven and the earth pass away, not EVEN one dot of the law (10 commandments) will be blot out.
Sabbath is for everyone, just as Jesus said: “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark 2:27, 28.
Jesus did not say, “The Sabbath was made for the Jews, but a time is coming when the day will change to Sunday…” No. What Jesus said was: “The Sabbath was made for man (i.e. everyone!)” See also Isaiah 56:6, 7, which says that non Jews (Gentiles) would accept the Sabbath and keep it holy. Jesus said, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:8.
There is no discussion in the New Testament about changing the day of rest to Sunday. Acts 20:7 mentions a gathering of the apostles on Saturday night (which Biblically = “the first day of the week”, since days start and end at sunset according to Scripture) and Paul preached until midnight. The next morning (still the first day of the week, Sunday morning), Paul travelled a great distance. This proves that the early Christians kept the Sabbath. If Sunday had become a holy day, Paul would have rested on that day. However, Paul did not rest on the first day of the week. He had a final evening meeting with the believers until midnight (on Saturday) and subsequently travelled a great distance on Sunday. The text does not indicate a change in the day of the rest. The Good News Translation renders Acts 20:7 as follows: “On Saturday evening we gathered together for the fellowship meal. Paul spoke to the people and kept on speaking until midnight, since he was going to leave the next day.”
The first Sunday Law was in 321 A.D. by the Roman Emperor Constantine, who merged Christianity and paganism together under a new religion for the Roman Church. However, Sabbath has always been the Sabbath. Read the book “The Great Controversy” by Ellen G. White to learn more.
Mark 3:37--states the Sabbath was given to the "Jewish people".
WRONG!! The Sabbath was given to the Isrealites!! No Jews until 600 years later!!!
Mark 3:42 states Christians met on Sunday to celebrate Jesus resurrection!!
WRONG!!!
Jesus never said to celebrate his burial, his death and resurrection .. Baptism is the memorial of Jesus ‘ burial , death and resurrection Please everybody learn this: Romans 6:4
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
Acts 20:7---READ verse 11--They ate a meal!!

@@mitchellosmer1293 You're are also mistaken to say the sabbath was given to the Israelites. There was no Israelite in Eden when God blessed it and sanctified it.
Jesus himself says, "Sabbath was made for man". He didn't say it was made for Israelites, although it is true that the first formal record of the Sabbath commandment was issued to the Israelites.
You are also wrong! What's the difference between an Israelite and a Jew? About the breaking of bread, or the commemoration of the last supper, Jesus said, 'do this in remembrance of me!' Luke 22:19; I Corinthians 11:24-26
Goodness! Am appalled by how many think they know something yet fail to understand 'the language' of Jesus.
@@walterdaoilen4140 "Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified" - John 7:37-39)
-----Try reading all scripture, and in context. The Jews wanted signs, and they spoke of the manna in the wilderness. Jesus answered that He was the true manna who came down from heaven and gives life to the world (vs 32-33). These Jews were unbelieving (vs 41-42). The true meaning is in vs 63: the Spirit gives life, the flesh is no help at all, the words I have spoken to you are spirit and life (not literal flesh and blood).
"The Original Church were JEWS -- Jews that understood that GOD would never tell them to drink actual blood sacrificed for sins (Leviticus 17:10-11) -- THAT is why the Original Jewish Church told the incoming pagan Gentiles to never drink blood (Acts 15:20) -- and they didn't add "except Jesus' blood". And AS A JEW, Jesus told his Jewish disciples that if anyone taught them to disobey even the least of God's Commands (including Leviticus 17:10-11), that person was a SINNER/least in the Kingdom of God -- see Matthew 5:19-20. No way that Jewish Jesus was telling the Jews to drink his actual sacrificed blood in John 6 -- that would make Jesus a SINNER. Know HOW Jesus fulfilled Leviticus 17:10-11 (Matthew 5:17) ?? By placing his sacrificed blood ON THE ALTAR in HEAVEN, not by telling us to drink his blood -- see Hebrews 9:12,26,28
The Original JEWISH Church understood that the elements of the Passover Meal (lamb, unleavened striped/pierced bread, bitter herbs, etc) only REPRESENTED/symbolized the suffering and death of Messiah -- they did not believe in "transubstantiation" and that they were consuming the ACTUAL flesh/blood of Messiah. AND THEREFORE, the original JEWISH disciples also understood that the elements of the Church's Communion Meal (LEAVENED bread, wine) only symbolized/represented the Messiah's body/blood at his suffering and death on the cross (see Galatians 3:13, John 12:31-33, John 3:14-15, 2Corinth 5:21, etc."

Drinking Blood
----Why were the Israelites not allowed to eat blood?
Why is the eating of blood prohibited? We can find the answer here in Leviticus 17 and verse 11, and the Bible says: The life of every living thing is in the blood, and that is why the LORD has commanded that all blood be poured out on the altar to take away the people's sins. Blood, which is life, takes away sins.
>>>Why does the Bible say not to take blood?
The Bible indicates that blood is sacred because it represents life. The command not to eat blood can be found in both the Old and New Testaments (Gen 9:4; Lev 17:10-11,14; ,Deut 12:23 , and Acts 15:20)
-----Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
14 “For the life of every creature is the blood of it;[a] therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature (a human IS A CREATURE!), for the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off. and Acts 15:20).

Malachi 3:10 was for the people under the old Covenant. Read Romans 10:4
God wants us to tithe,for sometimes we forget that everything belongs to Him.Let us be grateful and generous to give back what is already His.lest we rob Him..offerings on the other hand that is what you give out of a cheerful heart.But biblically speaking -Tithe is 10% of What God should get
(Malachi 3:10).
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
