      I agree 100%. I understood what he was saying and I was able to learn from it. But some others might not understand it. That is why delivery is very important. Although he was right about what he was saying it could have been preached a different way. He could've said a little more about how yes. None of the bible is about you. But God can do for you what he did for Isaac and Jacob and David etc. This is a way to still give hope to believers. This is also what the bible was for. He spoke about it briefly but really wanted to hammer his point that he missed it. And even on the other side he could of talked of God's judgement against Israel and how that could apply to us as well. So yes he did say that we can learn from scripture and apply it but that wasn't the main point he wanted to make. I felt he could've balanced it out but I understood the message.

    Meaning to be respectful and constructive here, but who is this message to? If it's to a believer who is already saved, the point is a bit moot and repetitive when your message comes full circle. If the message is for one not saved or an new believer (unsaved), scripture will not be discernable to them in a comprehensible and relatable way anyway. You drove your point of "The bible was not written for you" emphatically and repetitively as well as the term "dispensation". There was little context supporting your point without it seeming an obvious and moot statement. With as little supporting explanation as there was, it seems there message/video could have been shortened greatly or summarized more quickly.
    You mentioned that the bible could be used as a historical texts to show us the mistakes and such of others so that we might be able to read of and learn from the history. This would still require us relating the subject matter to ourselves and thus inserting ourselves in some way. So whether written to us or not we would still be applying the texts personally. All scripture is God-breathed and for learning, teaching, admonishing and thus it is there for us to apply personally in some way.
    I do appreciate you made it clear there are different dispensations/ times in which certain texts were applicable but I wish you would have expounded more in this area for cultural context.
    Also the main way, as you stated, we rightly divide scripture and what to take in and how to do so, would be the Holy spirit (being saved and born again through the spirit). It would have been helpful if you had talked about this earlier on in your message and expounded more here as well because I think that is the main answer to the point.
    A great deal of your message/video was spent in repetitious and unhelpful talk by repeating the same point with no helpful context or reason why that point should even matter. Constructively, I'm saying it would be better to address who your audience is, state the title less and provide more context, connect the dots spiritually and give an answer/solution so the message wasn't an hour of moot talk.
    Thank you, nonetheless for sharing your message!

      I don't think his point at all was that it's not necessarily "for" you, it's just not written "to" you through the fact that your individual name is not in it.
      So like in a later example where he talks about other books not being written to you but you can still read them and get something out of it, a self-help book isn't written to you but it could be a good book for you. I'm trying to put it in an understandable analogy.
      Basically just because it's not to you doesn't mean that you do not need it.
      That's my takeaway.
      I just found this guy though so I don't understand all of his perspectives yet but he's trying to go about things very specifically and factually and knowing that helps understand what he's trying to communicate.

      Hi Kent, the verse you quoted in John 5:24 says "he that heareth my words"? Do you know the words Jesus spoke in the 4 gospels? Allow me to share with you the teachings of Jesus in those 4 books and please tell me if you are doing all He said and taught. Thank you.
      What Jesus taught during His earthly ministry to Israel:
      Known as the "kingdom gospel".
      1. Water baptism for salvation and remission of sins, Mk 16:16, Acts 2:38
      2. Conditional forgiveness Matt 6:14
      3. A kingdom on earth as a nation - The promised land - Gen 12:1-7, Lk 12:32, Matt 6:10
      4. Sell all you have as requirement Lk 12:32-33; 18:22, Acts 2:45; 4:32-34 and 5:1-10. This was required for ALL believers (the little flock) who wanted to go into the kingdom. Read Lk 12:32-33
      5. To only go to Jews - Matt 10:5-6 (I know the whole story of the one proselyte Cornelius in Acts 10 when the Lord forced him to go to - Read Acts 11:19 if you think the Gentiles were part of Peter’s ministry)
      6. Keeping the law Acts 10:28, Matt 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. What is the 4th one? Keep Holy the Sabbath.
      7. Keep the feast days, as it was part of the commandments.
      8. Works Salvation Acts 10:35
      9. Offer animal sacrifices Matt 1:4, Mk 1:44
      10. Tithing (See Duet 14 to see 3 tithes totaling 23.5%) Luke 11:42. And don't forget about the offerings on top of that otherwise you are robbing God Mal 3:10
      The list goes on…
      11. Forsake ALL - Matt 19:29 KJV And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

    Does not the Word reach us through the agency of those who wrote it? Well none of the writers knew even one American. The United States did not exist. Did the New Testament refer to any American? Does what Jesus said in John 5:24 apply to even one American?

      @kickrox4606 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The publishers lied... Paul did not write Hebrews. The title "The epistle of Paul the apostle to the Hebrews " is NOT inspired by God. In ALL of Paul's Epistles Paul gives a salutation letting the reader "know" that the epistle is his. Here's a Example:
      2 Thessalonians 3:17
      “The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.”
      1Co 16:21 - The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
      Col 4:18 - The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
      Hopefully by now you get the point I'm making. That salutation can not be found anywhere in the book of Hebrews. Therefore using "common sense"( many people lack that today...) We understand Hebrews was not one of Paul's Epistles.

      1. Only God is divine, not John
      2. It was not the revelation of John according the the 1st verse of Revelation.
      Rev 1:1 KJV The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
