Satan is Using Christians To Divide The Church Over THIS | Church Gone Wild #2

- The enemy wants the church to be divided. Jesus prayed that we would be united as one. Who's winning? Right now it appears as though the church is more divided than it is united. Why are there so many divisions in the church? How can Christians contribute to more unity in the church even in the midst of diversity? That's the topic of today's video.

Here we go! This is part 2 in the Church Gone Wild series and we are just getting started! As mentioned, we are NOT doing a verse by verse through the entire book. What I'm doing is selecting certain portions of the book and doing a verse by verse breakdown of those pertinent sections. If not, we'd be here for an entire year. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts on why the church is so divided today. Thanks!
The division is simple. It's political and it's because of Trump.
Luke 10:27 💕
"So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Considering most of the policies of the democratic party today it’s basically impossible to be a Christian and vote democrat. Basically being hypocritical and saying it’s okay to vote that way
Perhaps this is why Jesus said, come out from among them and be ye separate. I hold to that, not to a politician.
I used to hate trump supporters to the point I didn’t even want to listen to people that support Trump. I got convicted by God and removed myself from politics, I learn to love people even when we don’t agree in policies and people vote for. I idolize politics so much that I neglected my relationship with God and his people. God open my eyes and reminded me that not everyone will have the same mindset as me. Instead, I need to show patience and speak with kindness if I disagree with people.
Update: Thank you all for understanding my testimony. Yes, I am a Christian and accepted Jesus Christ into my life. No matter what I said, someone will shame me for my confession that I did hated trump supporters even though I already repented and follow Christ til this day. I don’t regret sharing my confession that I sin against another brother/sister. I shared my testimony to give God the glory; He saved my soul from going to hell due to having hatred in my heart. Stay Blessed everyone. 🙏🏾❤️
Yes this is good sis! I agree! I don’t even discuss politics with other Christians ! Rather discuss recipes on how to make the best Oatmeal cookies! 🙂
This is a great testimony, I’m very happy to hear God showed you a new way!
Same. I was on the other end of the spectrum hating Democrats. I don't even pay attention to politics anymore. Politics don't save people. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ saves.
That’s a wild testimony! Thanks for sharing!
Same here, but the opposite. I was a Trump supporter. As soon as Joe Biden took office I realized maybe it was a blessing for me. I stopped caring sooooooo much about politics and started focusing on Jesus. The true King!! He is what matters, not a bunch of corrupt politicians fighting eachother. I really think a lot of us said forget politics, let's focus on what's actually important. 😊
Politics is one of the biggest dividers I have seen within the church.
That is basically what's going on!!!!
It's so confusing and difficult when Trump supporters think that Trump is "a gift from God."
Biblical Christians shouldn't be worried of politics at all in my opinion. Should we pray for our leaders and obey the law, absolutely. Prayer should be enough. Voting, being involved in politics shouldn't be of a concern.
Trumpism is a religion some have created. Throwing out refugees and taking away Medicare from seniors is not something Jesus would do
@@Micolashcage1 the Bible warns to be aware of false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
I told one of my great friends who I have known for 20 years what God says about homosexuality. She told me her daughter came out as a lesbian and I would not be happy about it. I told her that I love her daughter. God loves her daughter, but he hates her sin. She told me I had hate in my heart. Then she ended our 20 + years of friendship by deleting me as a friend off Facebook. I most definitely feel the division, but I will not compromise my faith for what the world says is love. God says this will happen. I am saddned by losing a close friend, but choose Jesus.
My dad is a pastor and has always said that churches will be divided over something so insignificant over what type of toilet paper to buy!!
Sadly, this is so true...
True but to be fair I'd something to say if that plastic, slippery toilet paper was bought. 😁
We argue with God and with each other... From Abraham to today.
So on point bro Allen. Satan loves division. When Christians bicker over every matter, we lose focus and become powerless to bear much fruit for God's glory.
I will not allow Eminem to become part of the body of Christ. I will hack him into pieces like Samuel did agag and became king if given a chance by the Lord in the Lord's timing. Better to hack off a member and be without limbs and enter into life as righteous than enter into life sinning. The Lord's angel will summon a red horse and they shall kill one another. Not all are members of Christ for Christ will say unto many depart from me. Perhaps the Lord has many dimensions of himself in different tribes of different people with different mentalities but I will not allow jezebels and ahabs to run rampant in the church. Satan comes to bring peace in the end times for 7 years and then sudden destruction will fall upon The wicked. The angels are the reapers in the end of the world and those that do not marry are equal unto the angels 🗡️ 😇 💪
@Darren do you even read your Bible it is written I did not come to bring peace but. A sword! That's what Jesus said! It is also written that they shall say peace and safety but destruction will come for them like a thief .
1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Matthew 10:34-38 KJV
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [36] And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. [37] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. [38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Like I said I don't think it's gonna be anything easy to make It to heaven for any of us. It's gonna take long suffering, discipline to follow things we don't want to and be made perfect
Matthew 5:48 KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
So if he says sever these ties and do not make peace with them that cause you to fall , then don't bring peace . It's not gonna be easy but only those that suffer a lot are closer to God especially if they don't have any friends and all they mostly do is read of him and talk to God
@@WolfRhymesEntertainment pretty sure Jesus is the prince of PEACE
@@timbredan3476 im not even gonna argue with you go ahead and believe jesus however you want , he can have rainbow colored hair for all i care as you describe him but my jesus did not come to bring peace.
Matthew 10:34-36 KJV
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [36] And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Satan has no power on this earth.
Dividing the church, dividing nations, dividing families, i see it happening everyday. This video is so timely!

Timely and timeless!
Amén, exactly as satan would want it to be everything divided
@@tammi67able nope revelation says Satan brings peace and then sudden destruction comes upon the wicked . Your focusing on the peace when Jesus was alive in new testament but if we are to focus on end times to set this world straight then there must be division among the Satan worshippers and those who worship the lamb who is not a meat eater but as written supposedly Jesus Christ comes to reintroduce animal sacrifices and Satan comes to stop him but I believe it's a test to see which humans are evil scumbags and which are those that free the oppressed. That one that sacrifices animals is really Satan and many will call him good but he is evil and the ones that come to destroy him are good but they will call them evil. Jesus Christ cannot return as he already said call no man upon the earth your father and they will say lo here or lo there is Christ but do not to listen to them. Whoever this king masquerading as Jesus is will be the new world order king and only those with the blood of the righteous will destroy him and his army. They already found the red cows ready for sacrifice just a few days ago . Look it up. Those that delight in animal sacrifices will be condemned. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Preach the gospel to every creature . No man is above a beast for all is vanity
Some say Satan is dividing churches and nations, others say Satan is working to bring the churches and nations together to form a one-world church and a one-world government as part of his end times "New World Order" agenda.
So which is it?
'Truth always divide'.. Truth and Falsehood cannot be one
Amen to that brother
please pray for us regarding hurricane Ian and also for the persecuted Church in Iran and for better leaders for them as they go through this turmoil in their country .
Yes please United with us in prayer.
I'm nonDen but I attend a Pentecostal church and I LOVE IT. As long as Christ is glorified and we are out there telling people and ourselves to repent and turn to him your church is good. God will handle any disunity that isnt of him. We are to just love each other like Christ loved us
Amen
Well said..simple and true
Amen
I am just Christ follower.born again and non denom. I attend a Baptist Church and I love it because it's biblically sound we only teach scripture and we sing hymns and not Bethel or Hillsong garbage
@@lisabarrett4956 What Church do you attend? Do they have services online?
I think Allen has a shirt in his store called “Christ over culture.” I’ve always liked that.
I remember years ago we used to argue with others about pre trib vs post trib. Pretty dumb now I think about how such a small point was dividing us.
Regarding theological differences:
There is a difference between the church you attend and the fellowship you have. There’s a difference between changing churches over theological differences and breaking fellowship over it and considering people not to be Christians.
There is nothing wrong with preferring to attend a church that affirms your theology, if it can be biblically argued and hits all the essentials. Breaking fellowship over secondary and tertiary issues is what is wrong. 😊
Amen! That's exactly right. I totally agree Boris.
There is plenty wrong with attending a church that affirms your theology. The Bible warns in both the OT and NT about how ppl would listen to whatever minister/teacher would tell them what they wanted to hear instead of what they needed to hear. Why do you think the apostles talked so much about false teachers, ministers, and doctrines?
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 This is why I also said “if it can be biblically argued and hits all the essentials”. Don’t put word in my mouth that I didn’t say.
@@borisvandruff7532 I don't think they were purposely trying to put words in your mouth, perhaps they did not throughly read your comment.
Anything can be biblically argued and what one considers essential or a core teaching someone else could consider heresy. This is called perspective and according to Christ there can only be ONE TRULY accurate perspective yet there are more than 45,000 different Christian denominations.
My youngest son was with a wonderful black young lady that I'm very thankful she was in his life. She saved his life and got him off of drugs. Her color has nothing to do with what a wonderful young lady that she is. Thank you Holy Father for sending her to our family.
If her color didn't matter, why did you mention it? You could have just said a beautiful young woman.
“We’ll Ima tell you who we follow…we don’t follow any of them mere mortals, we follow Jesus Christ himself!”….😂💀 I’m crying laughing at this comment my brother! Love your ministry and teaching. Praying for you. Keep doing what you do! God bless!
Brother Allen, this message is incredibly on point. We need to unify under God, and stop dividing over things that won't even carry into the kingdom.
Christendom has been in operation for about 1700 years. Martin Luther was the 1st one to turn against the RCC, which led to the reformation and the eventual establishment of Protestantism and collectively, the three(the Orthodox church) represent Christendom(counterfeit Christianity). Now we have "internet evangelists", with their "spin" to add to the mix.
They've never been unified and never will. The only certainty is that they'll be destroyed. Re.17:5,15-18
Exactly!
The political division is huge, and covid just exploded this issue. When I have friends bring up political issues I disagree with I have been trying recently to not engage too much so as not to create a disagreement. But it can be a challenge to not let differences be a barrier in relationships. I don't want that to keep me from unity as God would have us be united!
I'm seeing a division between the truth being revealed and all of the lies that have been told to the world. 🤷🏾♀️ many won't be able to accept it. Get your hearts right everyone.
Always remember the parable of the sower. It clearly shows the different types of so called "followers". Only one seed bears fruit as long as it's planted in the right soil. Jesus says "I never knew you." So make sure not only do you know Jesus but that more importantly, he knows you.
Thank you. This was great. I love that you said it's the devil tactic to further divide the church. I pray that we learn to love our brothers and sisters in Christ how God loves us. We have to stop fighting each other and put on the full armour of God and fight the real enemy(Satan)
Hate is one of satan’s best tactic ever to get us to hate people.
This is a difficult one Pastor Parr.
As Christians, I think we can all agree that we would like to see unity in the body of Christ. Dissention among the body isn't anything new. However, I'm not sure how to reconcile unity and widespread "misunderstanding" of how to conduct the very lifestyle that is supposed to unify us. If we can't even agree on what it is to be saved and how someone gets saved (which was the purpose of the Cross) then how can we agree on anything else? Better yet, how can we win the world? Will one not inevitably call the other a heretic or false teacher? Does the Word of God not also instruct us to do that?
I do think there are some things worth arguing about and some that aren't. What I do agree with you on is that we don't need to break fellowship, hate or attack one another.
Peace to you, Pastor Parr and thank you for all the great work you do.
God is teaching me to be less critical and allowing pride and self-righteousness to take hold. We are saved through grace and grace alone.. Not because of how good we are or how well we think we follow the word.. We literally couldn’t do this walk without God who keeps us.. smh. We are the body.. We should be on one accord and that accord is Christ..
As a “tongue speaking charismatic” long time YT follower of yours, I have to say, Pastor Allen, this series is (so far) your best! You are truly anointed with the gift of “teaching”. I feel like I’ve “eaten” a whole steak dinner! Thank you for your dedication to teaching the Gospel with courage and truth.
Wow! Thank you so much my sister! And, regardless of whether you are charismatic or non-charismatic, I love you and you are welcome here!
I echo your comment!
@ Melanie M , Why are you stating that you are a " tongue speaking charismatic " ??? the so called charismatic church is NOT a CHRIST Centered Assembly of BELIEVER'S --- it is a False church with False Preachers & mixed up Congregation's !! ---- *** Are you a BORN AGAIN ---- BELIEVER ---- TRUSTING only in CHRiST & all that HE has accomplished for you on the Cross / Tree at Calvary /Golgotha , HIS SACRIFICE ,the shedding of HIS BLOOD for you , for the remission / forgiveness of SINS , your , my , our SINS , HIS death , burial ,Resurrection on the third day , according to the Scriptures -- 1 Corinthians 15 VS. 1 ----- 4 ------ ----------- you say that you are speaking in -- Tongues --- are you sure that you are ??? ---- many think that they are -- However. It's been Proven that they are NOT " speaking in tongues " ---- this has been exposed on the web.& TH-cam documentary 's. ---- **** Even if you were truly " speaking in tongues " as by the Scriptures instructions you have Nothing to boast about , it was a gift from The LORD . ---- ----- YES , many are speaking babble ---- ***** NOT of GOD The FATHER YAHWEH , JEHOVAH , The LORD YESHUA , JESUS CHRIST , The HOLY SPIRIT --- ------------ read the Scriptures as re. this issue. Asto what Paul has stated. ---- -------- ******** only the BLOOD of CHRIST can save you / US. ---- thus BELIEVE on / in The LORD YESHUA / JESUS CHRIST & you shall be SAVED . Acts 16 VS. 27 ----- 32. ------- * By the way Paul stated that this gift would cease. ------
@ The BEAT by Allen Parr , Preach the ABSOLUTE TRUTH as re. the FALSE doctrines of the So - called Satanic charismatic church / movement with it's FALSE PREACHERS & Teaching !! ---- mixed up Congregation's !! ----- also keep away from Calvinist's with their error 's , also mixing up Scriptures !! ---- *** Calvinism a throwback from the satanic Pagan R.C. So called church /denomination , Assembly of God / Pentecostals with their FALSE doctrines !! , Hillsong , word of faith , Emergent church , etc.etc. ----- **** we have to stand for the ABSOLUTE TRUTH , The GOSPEL of CHRIST ----- NOT to Join in with these !! -----
@@thebeatagp AMEN brother Allen Parr you're EXACTLY RIGHT. Sa'tan is at work in this world. Christianity has nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans because God is neither on the political landscape so people who worship politicians and people with sinful natures should really read their Bibles as God raises up and tears down leadership and bad leadership is judgement from God on a nation. I really appreciate The Beat ministry as it does great work in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️👊. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolution of but I am convinced of speciation and adaptation which is micro Evolution because there's no evidence of macro Evolution nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Only my personal feelings, but I follow the word of God. Place my faith in my savior, and trust in God. His will be done.
“In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty.” - Moravian Church motto
Thank you for this series. I'm only on day 114 of reading my Bible. I haven't even touched the New Testament yet. I still struggle to understand a lot that I have read so having a teacher to guide and help us to understand what we're reading is a true gift from God. 🙏 Bless you!
Just like children build new knowledge on existing knowledge, God let humanity learn gradually. The Old Testament lays a foundation. The New Testament ties it all together and tells you what it means. So here’s a Bible reading plan for first-timers:
1. John
2. Matthew through Galatians (including John, again).
3. The New Testament (don’t skip what you’ve already read)
4. The whole Bible.
For your first or second time through the whole Bible, you might want to get a chronological Bible.
I suggest using a word-for-word translation (ESV or NASB 1995 or earlier). To the degree that translators paraphrase, you get interpretation. Your first memories stick with you, and paraphrases override what God’s Spirit could reveal to you.
“Easy to read” has its place, but anything worthwhile is worth working for.
@@ricksonora6656 great advice! I myself got a chronological Bible and I’m going to start it at the beginning of the year. However, I got the New Living Translation, I find it reads easier for me. My standard Bible is a ESV though.
Good bless you
It’s better to start at the FOUNDATION of scripture. Genesis is the first book in the compilation. Start there!
You need to understand God through His creation and HOW He deals with people. He is the same from the beginning. His attitude toward things hasn’t changed. Discover His feelings toward behaviors and attitudes and try to reflect on your own. See if they are in harmony or do you need to work on adjusting them. Endeavoring to understand HOW God deals with people makes it easier to understand the type of person you are REQUIRED to be in order to receive His blessings.
Read the OT then once you’ve gained FOUNDATIONAL knowledge on God and His arrangement move into the NT.
You should develop a love and appreciation for God and how He chooses to deal with mankind.
One of the principles of interpretation (“hermeneutics”) is that God explained things more explicitly over time. Example: Christ is symbolized when
- God tells Eve about her seed that would crush the serpent’s head
- God makes clothing out of sheepskin after the Fall
- Abraham goes to sacrifice his son
- God provides a ram as a substitute
- God commands to sacrifice a lamb on Passover eve
- God commands the Jews to offer various animal sacrifices
And then, the New Testament explicitly identifies Jesus as the antitype of all those symbols.
If you start with the Old Testament, you won’t understand the language of symbolism. It might even seem as though the Old and New Testaments portray a god with two different personalities.
As another example: The law of the Old Testament served several goals. The most important was showing us our guilt so we would turn to God for mercy and grace. The majority of people, including many who call themselves Christians, don’t understand. They think they can obey the law so well that God has to accept them. They fall for a false gospel of self righteousness.
I was thinking about this this morning. Even denominations are divisions. In The Book of
Acts, we were called Christians And that's all.
Amen Brother!
Thank you for this word Alan. I pulled away from MSM because of all the political fighting and ugliness that was going on in this world only to find it among christians on you tube. I became so depressed by what I was seeing and hearing that I started pulling away from Christian videos. You have been raised up by God to speak out. May they have ears to hear. My depression started lifting up and I look forward to seeing how the Lord convicts us and turns us in another direction, yes we need discernment on cults and heresy. We don’t need all out battles on areas we agree to disagree. I don’t believe our salvation is determined on weather you embrace election predestination or not.
can we just take a moment to appreciate Allen's mic.

How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolution of but I am convinced of speciation and adaptation which is micro Evolution because there's no evidence of macro Evolution nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
@@thebeatagp Thank you brother Allen Parr I've been watching your Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content for the furtherance of The Gospel since 2020
Really needed this message. I know one of my sins that I'm still working to get over is pride (specifically a willingness to argue and a desire to want to be "right"). I'm finding it far better most times to say nothing or say less when I feel those old urges welling up. I know in proverbs 15 it's written that "a harsh word stirs up anger" and I'm not really trying to be intentionally responsible for others anger anymore.
I have fought the same battle. Saying nothing is hard and takes humility. I recommend you study forbearance and taming the tongue in the Bible and see what the Word has to say about it. Those topics helped me understand how to carry myself as a Christian. God bless.
This was an excellent video. I am married to a godly man who is called by God to be politically involved, and is currently running for office. We are also very involved in ministry, and we have to try very hard to keep the main thing the main thing, and the main thing is Jesus. Politics do matter, and Christians should get involved, and be aware of what is going on, and align with the party and candidates who they believe espouse biblical values. But we need to have the right priority about it. I meet some Christians who break Fellowship over political issues, but I meet others who go the opposite extreme and act as if all political involvement is wrong and unspiritual. Not everyone is called to it, but those who are should do it, with a right perspective. Also, this applies to Christians who hold different theological positions. We may not be led to attend their church, but we shouldn't break Christian friendship over this. Again, it is about having the right priorities.
I have friends from all sides of the political spectrum. I am an atheist, but also have friends who are Christian’s, Muslims and Jews. We do not agree on many things, but the things we agree on allows us to respect and care for each other enough to allow each other to live.
I do think we need to get involved! We need to vote on those who hold up biblical values… for human life - against abortion, for family- how God created it to be, for marriage - how God created it to be. We don’t line ourselves up with a politician- we line ourselves up with biblical values
@@lynnhermit5384 man’s laws will never truly align with Gods laws. Therefore we are called to live in the world but not of it. It should not matter if the nations laws agree with the Bible or not for you to be able to live Biblically. Allow people to live as they see fit and live as you see fit. For the record, I am extremely against abortion but I don’t believe in single issue voting. Look at each candidate as a whole, and decide which promotes not only social but economic plans that you agree with. Our country is great because we were founded on the belief all people have self determination. Just my two cents.
I was so put out with Trump supporters that I actually changed my faith and became B'ahai. I was ignorant and confused. Satan got what he wanted! Then I unplugged TV, recommitted my life to Christ. Jesus took me back and I have never been this on fire for the Lord!
Spot on!!! We are ALL Christs if we are all IN Christ! Why can’t we just keep it simple and keep ourselves humble. We could spare ourselves so much pain, and also bring the proper glory to God for the good of His bride the church!! Thank you Pastor!
God bless the truths you keep posting! 🙏👏🏻❤️🌺🌺
VERY FEW BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS IN THE CHURCH TODAY
God bless you for doing this video. The enemy is working overtime knowing his time is short. We can't harvest if we can't agree.
Those who seek to enforce the law and do not understand the fulfillment of the law. The freedom given by God. Not to do away with the law but to fulfill the law.
We must not tolerate wickedness and evil among Christians. Holy spirit filled! 🙌 maranathm.
this is an important video for all Christians.
Wow, right on time- Glory to God!!!✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥I’ve definitely noticed the division- not only with personal friends & family, but even with Christian TH-camrs lately.😅Hoping this powerful & edifying message reaches to those whom God intends.🙏🏼😌God bless your ministry brother Allen!🕊️
Sometimes there is so much division in sound doctrine that I can't even believe we read the same Bible.
Heyyyy Allen !! What an amazing series this is !! I *LOVE* that you are doing this !! The division is REAL ! AMEN ! Great Video ! Have A Blessed Week ! 💞
This is beautiful. It made me want to research the church in Corinth along with rethinking how I feel about other Christians that follow pastors with bad doctrine regarding fellowship with them. Thank you.
You are speaking truth and I love it. I'm hungry for God and anyone lining up biblically, I can definitely listen to. I pray that God will continue to bless and keep you!!
Thank you so much for watching, and for sharing your comment! God bless!
I've been saying this for along time. Thank you for addressing this topic brother Allen
The only way to unite the church is to be clear and concise on holiness, righteousness, salvation, and sanctification. People want to be "saved" but also entertain everything about sin and Satan...everyone wants to be saved but no one wants to be "saved" but no one wants to be (sanctified).
Divided States of America.
Romans 12:2
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Keep it up Allen. We need messages like this. So serious 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Loved this! This message is absolutely what Christians need to hear!
Good one. Thank you for sharing. I totally agree with you on this one. I believe that the body of Christ is so divided because we spend so much time focusing on the the things we don't agree on than the things that we do agree on. Focusing on being right and winning the argument instead of being RIGHT and winning the soul.
Very great messages brother.
Especially in this day in time!
GOD Almight has the ultimate and last word in the earth 🌎 🙏🏽 regardless of what man does.
King of Kings and Lord of Lord's.
This teaching is so on time. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching, Beauty Unraveled!
I hope we could have more people Talking about this
We are Christian need to be together at one body of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour
Thank you so much Allen for this message God bless you
So good, Allen, thank you! “In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity.” -Meldenius
Great way of tying your teaching/points to today’s tone!!👍🏽
Oooooh!! This is good!! I was definitely guilty of the political division. I need to watch part 1. I also put my mother on to your channel and she loves it. So happy this was addressed!!
Best video! Thank you Allen for making this video so needed. I agree with you and I love all you TH-cam brothers in Christ
Allen, I'm really feeling this new style of video you're doing. This is fire. Loving the content!
That is awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
Excellent vlog Allen! Thank you for this!
I completely relate to this topic right now. I feel God is putting me where He wants me. I've seen the division so long now, by politics, popularity, and many tactics of the enemy even struggling within myself. Im learning that being humble is the best way, honestly is the only way. People pleasing is another thing dividing many people. I only want to please the Father.
I've fallen short so many times, I dont want to out of resentments anymore.
Forgiveness is key.
Seeing beyond a person, thier fruits.
I truly love the way you break this down.
You hit every nail on the head.
Allan, thank you! Even before I listened to the part where you say look at the pictures, I'm saying to myself and shaking my head while remembering Jesus said follow me! I was sharing a day ago with a couple of members the same experience you are talking about regarding secondary issues, I'm enjoying this video. Gotta watch the first but I'm glad you are on this topic. Thank you! Ps..we know who the answer is. Glory to God!
Man I totally agree, the theological differences one hit home for me today. I will ask this just out of humility and wanting to know how to better share The Lord and live for Him. What would be the difference between theological differences and pure heresy? I know we as believers should not follow heresy. Thank you for the response if you get to this :)
Another amazing video you certainly made me see some things I need to work on with theological differences!!!
Something that broke my heart recently was hearing married Christian couples at odds OVER POLITICS🤔😒😠. Something else that frustrated me a few years ago were 2 coworkers who were on complete opposite ends of the political spectrum and the one that was a Christian had so much disdain for the other coworker that effected our witness as believers and instead she was known for callousness and not love ☹
Keep it coming! Learning so much and what I need to acknowledge in myself as well
Great video. These divisions are important and do have an impact. Christians seem divided by politics and also the understanding of what the bible means in our lives today. Interpretations are all over the place. Creating mega business relationships that are based on influence and business acumen and not Christ create what are essentially competing teams lead by big leaders and corporate staffs rather than Jesus.
I believe it is okay to divide/break fellowship over primary Biblical issues; the true gospel versus the false prosperity gospel being one of them. I also believe there are more primary and less secondary issues than most people want to admit.
Amen ! i definitely needed to hear this , a reminder that not letting differences divide the church & us as a people, we should focus on saving souls and being an example of Christ
One of your best Allen! 100% agree that division is the biggest church killer at present.
Thank you. Much needed message.
Wow Allen thanks for doing this video! It was so good and thoughtful and especially needed! Bless you bro.
Thank you so much for watching, and for sharing your comment!
I've only commented on your videos a couple of times, and I've given positive and negative feedback. THIS video is PHENOMENAL!! It gets right to the heart of it. I love. love. love this. Thank you brother for your continued work. For your pressing on despite detractors and differences of opinion. This is a profound word to the body. I can't wait to share it with others. (I know they won't listen to it, but thats not my call. I just share. What people do with it is up to them.) Thank you again brother. This was really needed by me today as I'm sure it will be for many others.
So glad you did this, Pastor Allen, thank you. I struggle w Paul's letters, he was so smart & deep in his writings & I guess, "wordy". It really helps to have you bring the Corinthian church to life & make it relevant to our lives & churches today. Your series is giving clarity to my reading & understanding this letter.
I really appreciate this video. So much truth and led me into some serious self examination.
Thanks so much for your comment Stephen Campbell! God bless!
Oh yes! So true! Great sermon Brother Allen!
Thank you so much for watching, and for sharing your comment!
Loving this series on the Corinthians!!!! It's a very needed Bible lesson that we here in America need to hear to hopefully get things straightened out among us. Love you Allen. Keep doing what you are doing! I'm glad God laid this heavy on your heart to teach.
Good one Alan! Difference can be important, but it can also take away from our efforts to spread the gospel. We should change our focus and unify our purpose. We might not always agree, but we can unify on spreading the gospel of Christ!
I follow Jesus Christ, but I do listen to pastors like John McArthur, R C Sproul, Voddie Baucham because in my opinion, they preach God's word, and are as accurate as can be.
This is why it deeply saddens me that people break fellowship with Catholics over theological differences
Catholism preaches not the Gospel of Christ. Therefore you cannot unite with heresy. Christ over religion.
@@mini2713 Cope. 😑
This is so good and needed to be said... 👍👍👍 Thank you brother! God bless your ministry and you and your family! 🙏❤️
Really blessed by this series Bro Allen!! This video is especially timely and on point! So much division and hurt...giving into what Satan wants! Happy to know that in the end JESUS WINS! God bless you and your Ministry!
I love love love your approach to the gospel. Lifting you in prayer that God may continue to use you to impact the world!
Allen Parr is so loving in his teachings, I appreciate him so much
GREAT teaching. GREAT points.
I learned a long time ago that different opinions about something was no cause to break away. I just pray to God and ask him to help us see the right way. Love them in Christ.
This is asking hard questions with the intention of bringing unity. I applaud you Mr Parr! And yes I see myself here at times and recently I’ve found having to confront myself with this. Your video is just more confirmation!
i’m really going to enjoy this series ! :)
Great Message and same thing the Spirit has had me studying.
Amen 🙏 keep up the good work staying the Word of God
Amen brother, I've had someone concerned about my "destiny" because I had a different opinion of when the Church started
Wow! This video was short but extremely deep! Lots to unpack and think about. Thanks for this!
Love your channel. Satan wants to create division. Especially race division. If we can just hang on a little bit longer our Lord is coming to call us home. Titus 2:13
There is not supposed to be Division in the Body of Christ … it’s a safe bet if you all are divided you aren’t in the Body of Christ … meaning you may have some beliefs that aren’t rooted in truth … like Endless Torture for that matter.
Great video cannot wait to the next one you really hit on some key points that divide the church
Your video was totally awesome today my brother in Christ thank you all the way from Canada God bless you your family your ministry abundantly in Jesus mighty name
I almost feel like the "division because of politics" portion of this video needed its own separate video altogether. I commend Brother Parr for creating this video to have a discussion over why division occurs in the church, but regarding politics, I think there's a deeper problem that really isn't addressed here.
On one hand, I agree - there should be more unity in the Church. I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. But, the problem is, you really can't have "unity" without truth. There's nothing to unite us. God's Word is the Truth and when you and I disagree on something, we go to His Word to see His will. In some cases, what's considered "the truth" is debatable, but in a lot of cases, it's not. God is crystal clear on where He stands regarding a LOT of issues, and the onus is on us to submit to His will.
The point of all of this is, the division that I'm seeing isn't "Do Christians still speak in tongues today" or "Will the Rapture happen on the Feast of Trumpets"... The division that I'm seeing is - I'm against abortion. I believe God is as well . And yet, "Brother Jimmy" doesn't agree. Or, I believe the Bible condems same sex marriage and "Sister Karen" believes He's okay with it - as long as they're "married". I'm completely against the idea that gender is "fluid", but "Pastor Raymond" thinks I'm being too legalistic... Really, this is why we're seeing "political division" within the church, if we're being honest here. Yes, both political parties have "issues", but my gosh, there's a party that's clearly pushing against Biblical/kingdom principles. Again, clearly. Like, they're not even tryin' to hide it at this point. So, when you're sitting down to have dinner, and "Brother Mark" is asking you to pray that his son finds a male partner that loves him for who he is - then yes, there will be division. So, my question is, how can there be unity there? How can there be unity when I believe God values life and is against "terminating" lives in the womb, when "Brother Jimmy" believes otherwise? To me, unity can never happen because we're both not grounded in God's truth.
Agree that we cannot have unity without truth. So, let's have the whole truth. How do we persuade someone of the truth? By criticism? By argument? Actually, these are not enough. When we do this, we only end up with more division.
So, Jesus taught us a better way. Substantiate our words with our fruit, as he says in Matthew 5:14-16 '“You are the light of the world ... In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.' Jesus practiced exactly what he preached, for he says in John 8:46 'Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?'
In the same way, if our views are really aligned with God, then our fruit will prove it. The good tree cannot produce angry or poisonous fruit. The bad tree cannot produce fruit that is full of love and grace. By our actions, we prove what is the better way. This is what being light of the world means. Hope this helps.
You hit it on the nail. Serving God Almighty through Jesus Christ you can't vote for the party that goes so much against God's Teaching and Word. No party is perfect, nevertheless one party is more for our Biblical believe. I too believe we are to have a voice.
So is Joyce Myers, T.D Jakes and others like them not dangerous heretical teachers? Should we not divide over theological differences? Such as Oneness/Trinity? I’m really trying to understand brother Allen? It’s been a wrestle for the past few months. Shouldn’t the deity of God be essential? I know you are with that view (Trinity) as well, but should fellowship be broken with a Oneness person?
@ To God Be The Glory, good question. Allen really seems like a genuine person, but from really paying attention to alot of his videos it seems his heart for unity has created a compromising mindset. I really hope he answers your question. I too asked him to explain what would be valid reasons one should not fellowship with another "believer."
I always look forward to your videos. Very informative!
Thank you for the video ! Very informative and with a lot of wisdom
Update: not totally agreeing on this one because some biblical issues are clear in the Bible and do you continue to break bread with a group that is clearly violating scripture on serious issues. Like appointing homosexual priests? Depends on type of fellowship and definitions...I am not so sure on this one that fellowship should never b broken or ended or distanced
Love this series bc this has been in my mind about how to look at what is happening today. I was so disheartened over all the confusion and division among the church and how one can bless homosexuality as legal marriage for example and having priest Ms married in those relationships??? How can you even preach the scriptures when you have chosen to do the very thing God is calling you out of
Allen Parr is TRULY a gift from the LORD. Keep up the brilliant work my fellow brother in Christ 🙏🏾
Thank you for your kind word and support! God bless, GOD & TRAVEL .
If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
John 14:15
Satan’s language is Lying, and his purpose is to divide….as man was separated from God in the garden. Pride is his tool. Aligning yourself with a personality other than Christ is pride in action.
