Really enjoy these sessions. I most especially appreciate how on many occasions, there is a question posed and the comment is made that the pastors had just recently been recalled to the particular issue by the Holy Spirt that gave them a special word for the caller. Not sure if I’m being clear but God is always preparing us for any task presented to us. Shalom

I saw that too. Satan is busy confusing a lot of people. I am thankful God sees our hearts and knows if we are sincere or whether our misunderstandings are from rejecting truth we don’t like. If we’re sincere, we’ll get straightened out when we get to Heaven. We need to follow the God’s Word the best that we understand, and pray for understanding.

Glad your on u-tube as a lot of deception is on

I had run across something interesting on a youtube video... It has to do with the name of God. The verses on the creation of man; body +breath; the state of the dead, no more breath or praising God...when you breath in and out, yah + wah, the name of God. I found it helps me to understand the verses on death.

Thank you, pastors, for your ministry. Are you saying it is going to be more than 2 resurrection

47:05 I'm wondering how long do you think the devil or Lucifer burns? Because it's not just you go to Hell for a life of sin, but you've joined with the devil in the rebellion against a, Holy, Perfectly Righteous, Omnipotent, Vengeful GOD, that only Holy, Perfect Righteous man can stand before GOD and as you know, this is why we need Christ Jesus, for only through Him can we stand before GOD!

I think I know why but want to hear it from pastor s why was the apacphafa taken out of the Bible.

”Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?“ ”Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.“ ‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭56‬-‭578 ‭KJV‬‬ ”Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”“ ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭56‬-‭58‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ”Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭56‬-‭59‬ ‭ESV‬‬

@@maggiemae7539 The parable is in Luke 16:19-31. Where is the interpretation If your interpretation goes against these texts then your interpretation is wrong: The dead are in a state of: Perpetual sleep - Jer 51:57 Have no thoughts - Psa 146:4 Have no emotions - Ecc 9:5-6 Cannot praise God - Isa 33:18 King David has yet to ascend into heaven - Acts 2:29&34 Paul knew he would have to wait in the grave until Jesus comes to receive his crown - II Tim 4:7-8 So did Job - Job 19:26 These are sound biblical texts on the subject. There are plenty more where those came from. Is one true while another is a lie? Or perhaps they are ALL true but your understanding may be lacking.

I think Pastor Doug misquoted 2 Corinthians 5:8, as do so many who do not understand the state of the dead. It does *not* say, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord-- instead, it says "We are confident, I say, and **willing rather to be** absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." I take that to mean that that would of course be our preference, if we had a choice in our present situation. Please be really careful with this verse. 🙏🤨

I love these Q&As. But pastor 2 Corinthians 5:8 does not say "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." That is a big misrepresentation of that verse. I pray you revise how you quote that verse. Your explanation is true, but not your quoting of it. Thank you and God bless you.

Only God knows the end Jesus didn't know neither will the holy spirit . The holy spirit comes to help all understand truth so every man woman and child knows truth so all have a chance to repeat that way no one is without knowledge of God's love and truth .

Does anyone know where in the Bible that Abraham refers to Issac as his only begotten son? Should we be using phrases as “God I think revealed to him” Is that speculation or Bible?

To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord. Now some churches would have you to believe that this is talking about when we die we go straight to be with the Lord. That is a pagan doctrine. In order to go straight to heaven when we die we would have to be immortal already but in 2 Tim 6:15 & 16 tells us that God only has immortality that is until the Resurrection. 1 Cor. 15:51- Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, Romans 6:3-Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Vs.4-Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. vs5-For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 2 Corinthians 5:6-Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: Yes the belief that when we die we go straight to Heaven or hell is a pagan doctrine along with the theory that God will torment the sinners thru all of eternity in a place called hell. False teachings of the churches. I hope that your church doesn't teach these pagan doctrines.

It doesn't. As per Doug's answer to the question, we die and stay dead in the graves, until Jesus' return and then we are resurrected.

The thing that trips up time-bound humans is timing. Jesus was just saying that He (Christ) existed before Abraham and met with Abraham (Abraham saw Him). On 2 Corinthians 5:8, for humans who die, PERCEPTION = everything goes black and the next conscious thought is Jesus in the sky with millions of angels, while REALITY = hundreds or thousands of years pass as they sleep in the grave with no consciousness or awareness between death and Jesus second coming. There’s just too many other verses in the Bible that contradict the immortality of the soul. By the way, everlasting torture in hell is also eternal life, and the wicked don’t get eternal life. God is both a God of mercy and justice, and He would be neither if He did that.

Disagree to be absent from the body is to be present with Lord your soul goes back to creator the day that is for his judgment and to give out new body . It’s in bible to die your body or vessel goes back to dirt but soul goes to be with Lord until books are open then you receive your new glorified body .

The verse says: “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2Co 5:8, KJV). Paul is saying that, in faith, we should be willing to rather than being in this body to be present with the Lord. When we are absent from this body and present with the Lord, that will be at the glorious return of Jesus Christ when the dead in Christ rise first and then we are transformed as believers to take off this corruption and be clothed in the incorruptible. Death in the Bible is referred to as “sleep”. Jesus Himself referred to death as this. The apostles also. If we go straight to heaven or hell after death, how can the dead in Christ rise first?? They would already be in Heaven lol. The only logical understanding is that we await for the last day to be raised up. Pray on these things, my friend. God bless 🙏🏾

Paul means "Not physically present but is with God in mind, thoughts, desires." Perhaps you should read the verses before and AFTER I Cor 5:8 (verse 3 for instance). There are other texts where Paul shows this manner of speaking. Plenty of passages in scripture shows the dead are in a state of: Perpetual sleep - Jer 51:57 Have no thoughts - Psa 146:4 Have no emotions - Ecc 9:5-6 Cannot praise God - Isa 33:18 King David has yet to ascend into heaven - Acts 2:29&34 Paul knew he would have to wait in the grave until Jesus comes to receive his crown - II Tim 4:7-8 So did Job - Job 19:26 Eternal life with Jesus doesn't start until AFTER the dead are raised when He comes. In the creation story man was not GIVEN a living soul ("ḥay nep̄eš" - Gen 2:7 and 1:21&24 - see also Eccl 3:19-20). Man BECAME a living soul/creature/being.

Just to clear up misconceptions, a soul is not something you have, it is something you are. You don't have a 'soul' that stores your memories, personality, etc. A soul is a combination of a body and the breath of God that gives life. Think about it like a table. Your soul is the table. It's wooden planks and some nails together. You take out the nails, and it's no longer a table, just some odd planks and nails. Just so with a soul, remove one aspect, e.g. the body, and the soul ceases to be.

Remove the nails, chop up the boards, and what has happened to the box, Bust the glass on a light bulb and/or turn off the electricity, Where did the light go? Now put the working light bulb into the perfectly made box and you have the "double portion", the indwelling Holy Spirit... Think about it.

Every ministry including yours must get your priorities correct. Christ’s ministry in the first century was no exception in the midst of a "time prophecy" in Daniel 9. Therefore Jesus' entire focus was on the "family of Judah" and not gentiles on God's promise of "blessing of the grace" to Judah for the "Scepter" or "Rulership" with their Messiah as future kings as for Genesis 49:10 during this age under 'god' of this age. When Jesus sent His disciples to preach the good news of the coming kingdom which happened to be the "principal message" that God sent Jesus to proclaim during this age of 6 millennia under human self rule in place of God's rule, Jesus expressly told them, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:5-6). Jesus narrowed their focus to the areas which should be most receptive-those who knew the Law and were expecting their Messiah. Even Paul, in his missionary journeys even after Judah lost his exclusive right for the "Scepter" followed the same priority of preaching to the Jews first (Romans 1:16) because God's promise to Judah was irrevocable. God's word remains eternal through all the ages, the present age, the Millennium and after the Millennium for eternity. Jesus’ words to the Canaanite woman also show an awareness of family of Israel’s place in God’s plan of salvation in its entirety, yet narrowed down to the first-fruits only during this age under Satan the Devil until he is taken out at the second coming of Christ. God revealed through Moses that the children of Israel were “a holy people to the LORD . . . chosen . . . a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6). It was through the Israelite nation that God issued His Law, preserved His Word, and sent His Son. This is why, elsewhere, Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that “salvation is of the Jews”(John 4:22) because God's promise is to the Jews for the "rulership" during this age until God test them in the "Time Prophecy" in Daniel 9. God did allow the family of Judah(Jews) ample time when He said; “Seven times seventy years is the length of time God has set for freeing your people(Jews) and your holy city(Jerusalem) from sin and evil. Sin will be forgiven and eternal justice established, so that the vision and the prophecy will come true, and the holy Temple(altar)will be rededicated"(Daniel 9:24) (Unfortunately, Judah(Jews) failed in this test to live up to God's expectations and lost their exclusive right for the "Scepter" and paved the way for the other tribes, tongues, race and nation to share their rulership blessing). This is something became a stumbling block for the ministry of apostle Paul because Jews refused to believe that they lost their right to the rulership with Messiah when Paul brought the good news to the gentiles. Jews simply did not understand the scriptures without God pouring His Spirit to every Jew except whom God called and chosen. Only those who received God's mercy and grace accepted their Messiah including a remnant of non-Jews. One of the reasons that only a remnant received God's Spirit and grace was yet to be revealed in the future by apostle John in the book Revelation as 144000 first harvest in Rev 7:1-8 and Rev 14:1-5. In Matthew 15, when the Jewish Messiah says that He was sent to “the house of Israel,” He is simply connecting His presence with God’s purpose in Old Testament history and promises. Christ was “born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law” (Galatians 4:4-5). Paul explains in detail in Romans 11, God's preference was still Jews to repent and come back to their Messiah as God and Christ planned that way from the beginning! Therefore it is always need to be kept in mind what God and Christ's priorities are for this age as no one can reverse what God had promised to the family of Judah under the Law and prophets. Reason why Jesus warned that if anyone is desiring of entering the kingdom in heaven for God to consider them in the "second Resurrection" as "Levite", their teaching should not be contrary to the "Law and Prophets" in Matthew 5:17-20: "Teaching about the Law" 17 “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18 Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with-not until all its teachings come true. 19 So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven. 20 I tell you, then, that you will be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven only if you are more faithful than the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees in doing what God requires" This is a stern warning to religious leaders of the religion called Christianity today! The reason for This warning is that Jesus knew as the greatest prophet of all time false Christianity will preach contrary to the law and prophets without God granting them His Spirit.

If you want to make sure to avoid being misled by false teaching in the Worldwide Christendom, then it is absolutely necessary not to trust the men who call themselves Pastors, Elders and Evangelists in "Worldwide Christendom" but God and be led by God Himself as the bible very plainly say; God is your "teacher"(Isa 54:13;John 6:45) because God is "Spirit"(John 4:24).

I thought the Sabbath was the point to worship Our Father. .. You think He doesn't want you dancing? He wants you stood there like a robot? Wow, you don't know who the Father is... He created us to Worship Him, sing, dance praises to the LORD!!! You think what, it's just our words that worship? You got one half saying our words save us and the other saying our words are our worship. Our words are far from worship to the Creator... Far from it!!! ❤🙏 what is everyone's problem with singing and dancing in Church on Sabbath??? You wait until you get out your pride and actually SING AND DANCE to the LORD in Joyous praise!!!!! You haven't got a clue..... A form of Godliness but deny the power thereof..... It's the VERY reason why there isn't any Presence of the Holy Ghost, The Father, creator, YAH in your Church's.... NO POWER, NO presence... Just pointless words, like the pharisees. They knew the Scriptures, but they didn't know CHRIST!!! Good luck with that attitude on Sabbath and when stood in-front of the Father... 🙏❤ Hope you know, this is said out of love. HalleluYAH

I think the dancing they're talking about is more the provocative worldly style of dancing that's made its way into the church. Much of the dancing done today is designed to be sexually suggestive, and I think that has no place in church. It certainly doesn't praise God to have people thinking such thoughts instead of about Him on His own day. Maybe we're thinking of different kinds of dancing? I think you might have a misunderstanding of what worship is. it isn't really a nice feeling you get in church. Worship is best described as obedience. You worship God by obeying Him. You worship satan by obeying him and doing what he says( which is summarised as disobey God). You don't get saved by it, but you choose to obey/worship God because you're grateful for Him saving you and you want to give something in return(this is all He ever asks for, and the only way given to show Him love - do what He says).
