Dewayne, never stop sharing your heart and thoughts with us. I deeply enjoy watching your videos. Sharing may leave you open to the judgment of others, but I strongly feel that you know who you are. My Tai Chi Master once told me. If you don't know who you are then who does. You do not need the recognition of others. You have a gift that will change the lives of many people. Your new ranch looks so peaceful. Thank you again.

Hey ❤ thanks for the information and wisdoms

Your last video was an eye-opener for me. It didn't TELL me to believe your way... but it DID tell me to pay attention to my Bible and what it says (or more importantly, doesn't say). It's so easy to take topics at face value and believe what you are taught, but it is SO important to study for ourselves... Thank you for clarifying, and for the beautiful illustration of Jesus on the cross ACTIVELY CHOOSING not to call down the legions of God's angels - all for me, to cover my sins. Thank you for what you do, Dewayne!

Thank you for this. I always use the word CONTEXT - people don't seem to want to realize how BIG a role it plays in everything. But many do not want to TRY to understand...thank you, Dewayne

Your Forgiveness video is my absolute favorite to date. Hands down- and I enjoy them all. Connected SO many dots I had floating about for decades. Resonated with me completely.

Dewayne, I'm not a regular follower of your videos, but there have been numerous times in my life when what you have shared has helped me tremendously. You are a wise and good man, thank you for sharing your wisdom.

This man is so wise and intelligent it’s amazing

Dewayne, I gotta say I'll sure miss your tack room, common sense chats. Many of which have been inspiring, and educational. Im glad to hear somebody standing up for the faith, and not becoming worldly to make people happy. True, genuine folks are far and few between. Be you man its why I've watched all this time. Even if i dont really know allot about horses, though i would love to have one. Many blessings moving forward. May Gods peace be with you.

@@DryCreekWranglerSchool Greetings from Greece. My dear philosophical man. A message from me in Greek where the first gospels were written. Είσαι από τους σχετικά λίγους που έχουν αντιληφθεί τι πραγματικά δίδαξε ο Χριστός. Γι΄αυτό και κάποιοι (παπάδες ή/και ανόητος όχλος) επιχείρησαν να σε σταυρώσουν όπως και τον Χριστό. Καλώς αποφάσισες να μην συνεχίσεις τα θεολογικά θέματα δημοσίως γιατί έτσι προστατεύεις την εξαίρετη ψυχή και το ευφυές μυαλό σου. Αρκεί να απευθύνεσαι μόνο σε αυτούς που σε προσεγγίζουν προσωπικά. Η σταύρωση του Χριστού είναι ήταν υπέρ αρκετή για όσους θέλουν να καταλάβουν πραγματικά τι συνέβη και γιατί. Δεν χρειάζεται να σταυρωθείς και εσύ. Με μεγάλη εκτίμηση.

Sir: you are absolutely right. Forgive those who ask for forgiveness. Period. No need to explain more. Thank you for your videos. I have been helped by your insights.

Interesting. Full of spice. Full of fight and will. And a story, and a back story. And a future different than many wants. But most of us understand your good and compassionate nature. Appreciate your videos.

Wow, I really like this side of Dewayne. Clearly, you have a temper here, but you control and master it perfectly, guiding it into the right direction. Personally, I enormously enjoy these kinds of videos of your and would like you to continue to do them, as I'm sure many people here, whom you're helping this way.

I really don't hope that a "few" religious bullies will make you stop doing cigar videos Mr. Noel. I know it's more than a few, but remember that for every one of them - there are thousands of us who appreciate what you say and you are helping so many of us to find meaning in our own lives. I'm an atheist but because of you, I started to read the Bible. In your book recommendations video, you said that someone who loves litterature has to read the the Bible. And so I'm reading it. It's not gonna change my view on religion BUT I do find bits of wisdom, in it, that I can actually use in my life. Now the only way to fight hate/bullying is with love, so as always - Thank you so much for what you do and say! And lot's of love from Denmark ❤❤❤

I understand where you are coming from on this one, but please keep in mind the internet is going to internet. Your views and beliefs on scripture are appreciated deeply by many. Forgiveness part 1 found me at a great time in my personal life, and I know I am not the only one. Let knowledge and truth outshine all of what is going on in this world. God bless

Thank you for sharing these videos. I watched both, regarding forgiveness. My son was killed by a drunk driver who came from a law enforcement family and the guilty party was protected from consequence while I was threatened and harassed. People act like I am just supposed to “forgive”- my concern is regarding those who take an oath to the people and then instead use their positions as privilege; my concerns are about corruption… “all that it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing”. People try to use the Bible to manipulate me into a complacent victim mindset… and that actually drives many away from church. What you spoke helped me. Thank you.

I’m a preacher, and I thoroughly enjoy your lessons. God bless you.

I've been a Christian for about 40 years. Thank you for sharing. Great motivation to research the word. Thank you. Please don't stop. You definitely have a gift.

Amen bro! I’m glad you called out these knuckleheads. They are immature and inexperienced, but love to pop off. I salute you and your choice of cigars!

I hope that God convicts you to continue to do these types of videos because you’re right. You have a great platform to spread the TRUTH in Gods word. No matter the dissent that comes with it. Paul as you well know, was ship wrecked, beaten, stoned to death and still went on preaching throughout. You’re able to spread the word to the uttermost parts of the world from your ranch and I think that is a fantastic opportunity to lay up more treasures in heaven. May God bless you and I hope that you pray on these things.

Dewayne, that first video made a tremendous impact on me - and the truth of it resonates deep. It is so maddening that a few bad apples will stop the invaluable sharing of wisdom you've gained and I do sincerely hope you change your mind about that. I don't have a grandpa, and my dad is not an honorable man whom I can draw upon for wisdom and learning. Thank you for sharing your perspective with us all.

I am in a very similar place. I don't attend church because of the lifelessness of what is taught there. It reminds me of this: "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter it yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves." - Matthew 23

Those people calling out what you are doing are filled with nothing more than jealousy, because I believe you have eyes that can see and ears that can hear. Thanks for sharing the Wisdom the good Lord has given you.

The very first purchase I made when I started my seminary courses was a copy of Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, for the very reason you’re talking about. Everything is context when we look at Scripture.

Thanks for the follow up! I always appreciate things that challenge doctrine and my theology. It is what leads to truth.

I’m right there with you Dwayne. Exact reason I quit going to church years ago. I hold my own church with the father. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. God bless.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Dewayne, Sir, I have never been into horses, religion or cigars in my 29 years so far. But when you talk about anything, I listen, because I am open for good, teaching intention. I hear you and I am more than happy that I found your channel, for in the last couple of months I have gained some really useful thoughts throughout your words. Thank you for what you are doing, you are a real treasure on this platform.

Hi Dewayne! I'm sorry that ignorant people ruined this type of content for you, I completely agree that if it is burdening your mental state there is no reason to continue. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your thoughts and interpretations. I'm new to faith and listening to you talk on it helped me understand the teachings of the Bible better. I appreciate all you do by making these videos for those of us who need a guiding hand, it means more than I can really express. Thank you, sincerely. I'm excited for more horse videos too, keep up the good work!!! :)

Thank you as always! You have changed my life in ways I cannot express through the Internet.

It’s incredible how much research and hours you put into knowing what you’re talking about. I wish I saw more men like you in my generation.

I'm known for my constant statement over decades is " what does the word say". I couldn't agree more with you more. Context and word meaning is everything. I've been elderized deaconized pasteuized. Now I'm just Mark lover of God and people. I'm fortunate to be involved in a wonderful Christian community that makes every attempt to be in context. I'm very fortunate. Many blessings my friend.

Thank you, Dewayne.

I really enjoy these kinds of talks (the first forgiveness video) as im fairly sure nearly a million other people do. Please dont let the few poor students ruin it for the whole class. Thank you for all the time you take to share your wisdom.

Greetings from Greece. I have watched all your philosophical videos and I have great respect for you. In this matter of forgiveness you are absolutely correct!!! Unfortunately, many people have read the gospel (that's what we call the bible), but few have understood what Jesus really taught. And the fact that you stay away from the church is also a sign of healthy and deep Christian thinking. And if Jesus were to come again on Earth, he too would be outside of today's church. I wish you all the goods. You offer a lot to the people who happen to watch you.

Wow Sir! Amen! Praise the Lord Jesus!

When you step into the realm of discussing Bible and theology on KZread, you've got to be prepared for some pushback. It's part and parcel of engaging in these discussions, especially in a platform as diverse as KZread. Response videos are just a part of the KZread culture, especially when it comes to theological discussions. So, if someone's going to delve into that arena, they better be ready to stand firm and engage with the challenges that come their way.

Dewayne, I appreciate what you do and what you say on your channel. You help a lot of people, more than you know. You are absolutely right about the context in the Bible! Most people concentrate on a verse. If you concentrate only on verse, you miss a universe of information. God bless you, brother. From one cop to another! 👍

I left a comment pertaining to that particular verse on the last video. I am a prodigal son with two years crawling along in my life in Christ after losing 40 years in the wilderness. I'm still an infant in my bible studies so It probably would've helped to address this particular verse in the last video because it is one of the most popular on forgiveness, but I understand clearly where you are coming from now and appreciate you taking the time to address this and clarify your thoughts. I will work harder to become a better student of the word and thank you for all of your video lessons. You are a very enjoyable teacher and may God continue to bless you and yours in Jesus name.....

Nice teaching,God bless you brother.

100% agreed. Bless you my friend. Stay strong.

Thank you for sharing your bible wisdom

AMEN AND AMEN. More truth!!! More respect! The modern church is lost. I do love God and follow him. I do the same, read his word, study the intent and apply his spirit as best I can. I stopped listening to what everyone else thinks the word says…. It’s MY RESPONSIBILITY to know it and apply it. Dwayne we will each stand in our boots before God one day…. I believe I will be able to say I did the best I could and I sought your spirit in the word. He knows how much it means to me. I am striving for well done good and faithful servant. Not! “What did you do with what I gave your? Did you bury it?” Dwayne, thank you again for being a man of good character, integrity with a strong backbone to boot. And now, movin right along, lets talk horses❤️👍

Amen an Amen 🙏 Explicit an to the point, I like it Dwayne. God Bless an by the way, I don't go to church anymore either. I am a believer in Jesus Christ, But all the doctrines I have been a part of have turned in too a Dog & Pony show over the years, It's become a place for people to compare fashion.And that's not what it's about. Blessings to you and yours 🙏

Thank you, Dewayne, for your wisdom and humbleness🤍

Hi Dewayne, I agree with you that context is always key. I thank you for bringing this interesting discussion up, I never commented on your last video I never felt the need to; I’m writing this as a fellow fervent student of Gods Word and as a brother also interested in the correct interpretation and hermeneutical value of scripture. Although I respectfully disagree on this particular point it’s my personal belief that believers must extend to others-especially to fellow believers- the forgiveness and love that God has extended to us. In the same way, because the Israelites were purchased from slavery in Egypt, they were to have a special regard for aliens, slaves and the dispossessed in their own midst. The same logic is found in Jesus’ new commandment “as I have loved you, that you also love one another” and in v”Matthew 6 in regards to the Lord’s Prayer-“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Like you said a concordance is essential and so is cross reference where else in scripture a word has been used; I have put some below in regards to the word ‘forgiving’ used in this verse in Ephesians. I know you are not responding to comments but I respect you brother and hope you continue your cigar talks they are a great source of wisdom and inspiration may God bless you and your family in our Lord’s name I pray. ✝️ ‘And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.’ Eph 4:32 Forgiving: Eph 5:1; Gen 50:17,18; Mat 6:12, 14,15; Mat 18:21-35; Mar 11:25,26; Luk 6:37; Luk 11:4; Luk 17:4; Rom 12:20,21; 2Co 2:7,10; Col 3:12,13; 1Pe 3:8,9; 1Jo 1:9; 1Jo 2:12

Thank you for helping me to understand forgiveness only comes when they ask for it. I’ve felt that way my whole life, but you identified it for me. We ask God to forgive us, then he is faithful and just to forgive. We have to wait for them to ask us

😅 yes you must carry the burden of forgiveness but they simultaneously have no conscience about the deeds they perpetrated anyhow, these days it's more about gaslighting🙄and perception

These discussions have given me alot of fruit for thought. Your interpretaions and understanding of the teachings in the bible are golden in my opinion. Knowledge that you posess can only be passed on with benifit in my opinion. And what knowledge you take with you to the other side is at a great loss for those that wish to learn. I do hope you reconsider your stance on talking with us this way. Either way, thank you sir for what you have done, and continue to do so. God bless

I'm a conservative Catholic and I agreed with just about everything you said about forgiveness and reconciliation. The only minor quibble I had was that there's a difference between when God forgives and when we forgive. When God forgives, that creates a change in the person which reconciles him to God. When we forgive, we don't change the person we forgive; so, it does not cause reconciliation or stop that person from being our enemy. We should still pray for the malefactor as St. Stephen and the early Christians prayed for Saul's conversion and ultimate good. And, if we have the power and authority to stop that person from doing more harm, we should do so. At any rate, you were just about completely right.

Thank you Sir, learned a lot...

Happy Easter, Good Sir, Keep up the great work, and God Bless.

Thanks, Dewayne. You are a great teacher and explained this very well. If there is a "contradiction", it is with "man", not God and His word. I trained in New Testament Greek and Hebrew. One of the first lessons we learnt is that there are many words in both these languages that English has only one word for. English is a very poor language while these others are rich in meaning and subtlety. A good example is that there are four different words in the Greek language that we translate as "love" in English. However, each of those four words has a different meaning.

One of the things I love and respect most about my pastor is that he will tell you, “If I say something that contradicts the Scripture, please tell me so that we can discuss it together. Because I am fallible but I do not want to lead anyone astray from God.” Sadly, there are too many pastors that confuse false doctrine for true, or gatekeep the faith.

Thank you for making this video. I feel it will help me immensely in studying The Bible.

Thank you and God bless you

Thank you for being so transparent with your feelings Mr Dewayne. I grew up in the Dutch style of Christianity. Dutch reformed church. And I left this when I was about 20years old. The gatekeeping was so much, that it almost cost me my faith entirely and for a while I explored other avenues of religion. But God is good and I found my way back to Jesus. And I saw now that my faith wasn't the problem and Christianity wasn't either, it was just alot of people in the church institution. I am more deep into my faith now than I was back then and I understand the concepts even better now without these people muddying the water. I'm so sorry that ignorant and self serving people has come onto your channel and made it unpleasant for you to share your faith to the people. Hopefully one day you will pick it up again as these message you put out does mean alot to folks. But we respect you as a person and if you need to stop for a while, we support you. Even if it is for good, we still support and respect you. I'm just hoping it is not the final verdict on these videos.

I like this standing your ground attitude with some reasonable arguments. respect sir. and im not a religious guy.

Thou shalt not kill should always been Thou shalt not murder or assassinate agree

Thank you for clarification. I am a Berean as you are. (Acts 17:11) I actually never thought ... Respectfully sharing my questions, along with asking for clarification about 'Jesus words on the cross', would make you call me ... "Ignorant!" Geeze, that was pretty harsh Dewayne. But, nowI have a clearer understanding and I agree with your clarification and explanation. Do you to see how we have been trained by teachings of too many twisted scriptures--- and the requirement to blindly agree with everything the preacher says. We have to UNLEARN a lot!! So do Pastors, elders, and gate keepers. So I now I find myself asking questions. It brings about a better understanding. More of us should ask more questions within The Body/Church. But for a question to cause irritation and then be called ignorant, that's petty and unfair! If anyone asks me questions, to ever clarify my stand on forgiveness or anything else I am certain of ~ I would never accuse them of being ignorant. Romans 14 instructs me to welcome the weak in faith. I would patiently and gently answer their questions so they could understand better. I do want to say ... Thank you for your answer to my question. It's clearer now.

Thank you ❤️🙏🙏
