I gotta say, I really appreciate your humilty and transparency. Being willing to listen to others, review your work, and make changes as necessary really speaks to the strength of your character. I salute you, my brother!
This has been such an encouragement, thank you! I agreed to share a humbling testimony at church filled with rebellion from God and trauma. I feel encouraged to pray for the love of the Spirit to combat the selfishness in my heart so I can glorify God by sharing the grace and mercy He has shown me.
Great video. When I got sober about 20 months ago I had bad people anxiety, alot of childhood stuff anyway, Corinthians 12:9, boasting , embracing weakness really changed my whole out look, made me realize, I can't will thus stuff away and trust God not my feelings. Definitely was a process
I've been watching you for awhile.. I got sober 15 months ago and thank goodness I started reading the Bible on my own and didn't get caught up in any denominations or churches.. but when I went on TH-cam, calvinist is all you see, and it didn't sit right, so I just kept reading and, yeah, Calvinism is wrong... Anyway, I have been looking for a church now that I have a pretty good understanding of the gospel and the few I tried have been a nightmare.. matter fact, I went to what I thought was a Baptist fundamentalist church, I even asked if they were reformed when I walked in, their response "we just preach the Bible" I say down and basically, on Christmas Eve mind you, was all about we don't deserve salvation and so on.. I kept thinking, "God reconciled everything to himself and made peace with heaven and earth through Christ blood" what really did it was, at the end he gave thanks to Paul washer! Instead of Jesus, crazy, I grabbed my Bible and walked out... Anyway, what type of church are you going to now? I know this isn't a calvinist video, but figured with the few comments I could get a response
@@GoodBerean crazy, I was actually reading about them the other day... Thanks and thanks for all you do!!! This message needs to get out, people need to know, there's other options
I appreciate the humility and carefulness you put into your videos! The reasons you left Calvinism series is amazing! I do appreciate most of this video as well. However, I have some very serious concerns with Jay Adams and the Neuthotic model of counseling. My own personal experiences with it has been nothing but destructive. I'd like to see an objective critique of this model. There are other models for Christian counseling, are there not?
I am open to hearing where your concerns are. I could address them in a future video perhaps. You’re welcome to reply and share or send your thoughts to livingchristian1john2.6@gmail.com My training experience was really good, but if there are concerns that I can help expose, then I would like to do that! Thank you for the comment!
Though there are certainly elements of truth and helpfulness in this video. The man seems genuinely caring. Be aware that ACBC counseling is Calvinistic. It is sin based counseling not grace based. I have experience having begun a journey to botth be trained in ACBC counseling and slso on the counselee side. It was so incredibly damaging but so much so I won't share here. It played a huge part in the decision to leave the church I'd been a member of for 29 years. On the surface it appears biblical - many verses are used but when the foundation is built on a deterministic understanding of God it will cause damage. I have complete regret going through counseling at my former church. They follow a process and every person and every issue is crammed and into the same mold. It took me three years and a whole lot of pain but eventually I did receive counsel biblically. It set. me free. I recommend Truth in Love counseling. Theology matters. Genuine care matters. Or everything said in an attempt to counsel results in a whole lot of hypocrisy.
I believe it is also possible to edit out a part of a video without removing it directly in the creator section of TH-cam (in case you need to remove just a part of a video one day without deleting it from TH-cam)
Yes I shared that the response to be anxious is taught to be a sin. When the Scriptures never explicitly state it is a sin. Moreso, it can produce a response that leads to sin, but it’s not inherently sinful just to have the response of anxiousness. Hope that makes sense?!
@@GoodBerean awesome I was really happy when I heard you say that in your video! I feel like a lot of Christians are scared to say, “I'm nervous but I'm trusting the Lord as I go through this!”
41:52 Wait...did you just say "irregardless"? I remember I had a friend who would say that simply to irritate people, so now I hear it all the time. Apparently Merriam-Webster says it's a synonym for regardless so I guess it's grammatically ok. In all seriousness though, I really appreciate this ministry. As someone who often has to battle the "feeling" of anxiety, I appreciate your encouragement.
Pretty sure that early church fathers Ignatius and Clement both agree with Calvinism. Here are two letters that support this. Ignatius letter to the Ephesians,and Clement letter to the Corinthians: Below parts of the letters that prove what I am saying👇. Go look up these two letters and see for yourself the truth. Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fullness of God the Father, and predestinated before the ages of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory, being united and elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ, our God: (Clement) The church of God which sojourns at Rome, to the church of God sojourning at Corinth, to them that are called and sanctified by the will of God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
No, this is the same kind of language that Paul uses. They are predestined for glory because of being blessed "through the true passion". I understand you've been conditioned to read "predestinate" and "elect" and then a very specific idea comes immediately to your head because of what it has meant to you, but get in their ancient heads and it's not the same idea at all. These are just tiny soundbites. Want to read the rest of their work? I'm not Orthodox, but noticeably, the Eastern Orthodox church has put out a lot of fully comprehensive material of church fathers/ancient Christian writers that do justice to their full work and not these kinds of soundbites that you and I get to read in isolation and then hallucinate our own paradigms right onto them without warrant and claim we've just found out exactly what they meant and it was already our own understanding.
@@trebmaster Amen, Once you hop in the little red Calvinist convertible and began driving around the Bible ...you think you see red convertibles everywhere.... I think it's what is known as the The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also called the frequency illusion. A cognitive bias that affects how we think and process information. It's a phenomenon where something you recently learned seems to appear everywhere, making it feel like it's more common than it actually is. This quickly evolves into Biblical confirmation bias. Where one studies the scriptures not to learn what it actually says, but to 'find' verses which can be "used" and interpreted to affirm what you have already concluded to be true. Actually, it seems to be evident in how they study scripture overall. Reading to affirm what they already believe rather than to discover what scripture says in proper context. After accepting Pelagius' 'red herring' that is faith was a work, this is how Augustine originally developed the points which eventually became TULIP. He tried to answer each question with a 'text' but each answer created another question.🤦🏻♂ It has always been a doctrine in search of a scripture.
@@trebmaster What Ignatius and Clement are saying is very clear. They are clearly talking about being Chosen By God before time began, and called,sanctified by God’s will, not their own will. They are talking about themselves and those individuals in those churches whom they are addressing,who were chosen by God. You can add all of the eisegetical hoopla you want but the message is clear.
You're kidding ? If not , then ? Simply because the term " predestined " is in the texts ? No my friend, they were speaking about actual biblical predestination, not calvinistic predestination. They are two completely different things.

Jason, your family is so blessed to have you, your gentle voice and spirit are very evident in your videos. 🥰

Thank you for the contemplative music. It allows the listener to hear to words.
Good advice...common sense...and biblically minded counsel. Thanks, brother, for this fine teaching session!
Thank you for your time brother 🙏
Thank you so much!! God bless you!!

Hello brother, sorry to hear your church search has not gone well. I am in an Anabaptist church. Part of the Rosedale Network.

God took away my alcoholism 35 years ago. Praise God not me.
