Very thankful here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that I could watch your videos. Praise be to God for the internet 🙏

I know the ideas discussed about keeping the past in the past, letting people repent and grow, is an important part of discipleship and keeping our covenants. AND I also know the real pain of being silenced , not being allowed to bring up the past when it needed to be (even when done with care); not so much for what someone DID but as to help them see how their past choices affect the present, in hopes of bringing awareness and correcting the behavior - whether an overt or covert act or simply deep negligence. Please also teach that this idea has another side so that the concept is more broadly presented and understood - thus diminishing the chance of emotional abuse. It is difficult to be told I'm "slinging sand" (by him) when I try to communicate truth and reality, (speak the truth in love). To have my views and feelings so blatantly dismissed and scorned under the guise of "forgive and forget", "let go of the past"...etc, as the ultimate Christian Virtue, is very hurtful and confusing. Forgiveness and learning to move on CERTAINLY has its place, but let's be careful in how this is discussed so as to not pour vinegar on open wounds. Having said all that, I also wish to say, I LOVE your podcast!! There are so many nuggets of wisdom to glean. I listen to several CFM podcasts - each is a little different and each is amazing. I learn so much from all of them. I thank Heavenly Father constantly for all the work, time and sacrifice you all give for our benefit and ask His blessings upon you all.. Thank you SO much !!

You might want to isten to Dr Ramani's podcasts on Narcissism. Sounds like you are being Gaslighted. Just being aware of what's happening will help you be able to deal with it. Her podcasts are very helpful. I hope this helps you.

I have been pondering your post and your situation. I do not know if mine is the same, less or more but I would like to share a little tidbit with you and you see if it helps you. There are old, deep wounds that seem like they need to be addressed to be healed but I have taken them to the Lord and He has helped not feel the pain or bitterness. Each time a memory comes, He calms my heart and puts peace there and asks me to let it go and has promised me that He knows how to help that person change and grow. I could say so much but the Lord has asked to be in charge and in letting Him, two things have happened-I haven’t said something that could hurt and damage a finally budding relationship and my heart has been filled with both forgiveness and repentance as I have tenderly let God prevail. The world tells us we have to have our needs met and confront our abusers but that is not what God told me and though it is an ongoing process, I have not once regretted following the whispers of the Spirit to keep my mouth shut up and leave it to Him. Your situation may be different and He might tell you to approach your abuser but my counsel is to go to Heavenly Father and handle things whatever way He says even if it is different than you normally would and you will have peace. ❤

I hope many people read your comment. This is an essential concern to raise. Unfortunately far too many people experience or have experienced this type of emotional abuse.

Looking at your past with peace reminds me of a talk Elder Renlund gave in the April 2015 general conference. What he said has been such a game changer for me when dealing with the remnants of the consequences from our past. He said, The comedy As You Like It, written by the English playwright William Shakespeare, depicts a dramatic change in a character’s life. An older brother attempts to have his younger brother killed. Even knowing this, the younger brother saves his wicked brother from certain death. When the older brother learns of this undeserved compassion, he is totally and forever changed and has what he calls a “conversion.” Later several women approach the older brother and ask, “Was’t you that did so oft contrive to kill [your brother]?” The older brother answers, “’Twas I; but ’tis not I: I do not shame to tell you what I was, since my conversion so sweetly tastes, being the thing I am.” For us, because of God’s mercy and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, such a change is not just literary fiction. Sometimes when we make mistakes or sin it goes on to effect other people's lives. I now use this when someone might bring up something that you regret and/or have repented of. Twas I, but tis not I. I'm not the same person as the person who made the mistake. For me, it takes the sting out, and I can be honest about the past without dredging myself through the muck of my mistakes. It has allowed me to forgive myself and look at myself more kindly.

Loved it. What a wonderful lesson. Ezekiel has come to life for me. Wonderful scholars

As usual - loved this podcast. WHY are you choosing to die, when you could choose joy and eternal life? We humans can really be 'idiots' sometimes, can't we? lol. And God will 'remember our sins no more' = He will not bring them up at the final judgment day IF we repent of them honestly. I love this great reminder. There is ALWAYS hope in Christ.

Oh, and as Jan mentioned, to continue bringing up something after it's been taken care of...well, when that has not and will not happen what does one do? Forgiveness and letting go are needful but when a person has to continue living with it, it's a different game. Thankfully, I am getting answers and more insight, after years of anguished seeking and stumbling. We need to be careful in Christianity to not overlook or pigeon hole situations which are on the flip side of normal.

Excellent. Thank you

Ezekiel challenged us to experience a life changing vision of Gods power, knowledge, eternal presence and holiness. He says we must experience a living relationship with Jesus Christ, the biblical Jesus, who said that the new unconditional covenant is to be found in His blood. The new covenant that by grace renews the soul, you have a new heart and spirit. This is the hope for the people. " And I will be their God and they will be My people". All believers in Christ will be united with God, not just a selected few.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your podcast what a treasure. I wanted to check out the "Theology of King James Language" and I cant find it. Can you help? Thank you

"Cheer and sing together, we're from Skyline..." Go Eagles!

A great resource for translation of Hebrew texts Torah and the writings after is the JPS translation of the Tanakh. There have very recent updates, all by Jewish scholars.

Even in the excellent translation of Jewish Publication Service has fantastic images, but it certainly does read with greater ease than KJV.

There was a comment that Ezekiel was a Temple Priest. Did Priests have specific responsibilities/assignments?

Spotify is what you want. There are other podcast apps too, but Spotify is among the easiest to navigate .

I once read the Hebrew translation of "remember" was "to mark as to tally" so I think of it that there is no tally against me. The debt is erased.
