That example in Luke 15 about having joy over sinners who repent is hitting me pretty hard. I think it’s probably a mature kind of joy that serious Christians have in life more and more since it shifts from just joy over our own salvation to now the selfless joy of salvation of others.

Everything you have spoken is correct. But you're also taking out that we live in the flesh and Jesus died for our sins. I believe you are judged by t he heart when you confess. Even when you walk as he asks, doesn't mean you will never sin. Thus, we have to hate sin and ask for forgiveness every day. My brother, you lack to mention the Love of God and the Blood of Christ our the most important thing we need to confess and believe

I think this conclusion would be fine if the rest of the Bible didn't exist. Among others: Ephesians 4:4-6 - “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.” John 10:30 I and the Father are one John 10:36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

1Cor 15:21-27: "For since, in fact, through a man came death, through a Man, also, comes the resurrection of the dead. For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified. Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence; thereafter the consummation, whenever He may be giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying all sovereignty and all authority and power. For He must be reigning until He should be placing all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy is being abolished: death.” Vivified [the root word is zoe] meaning made immortal….each in his own class, (1) Christ the firstfruits, (2) those who are Christ’s [aka Christians] at His coming (3) the consummation [which is at least 1000 years after his coming]. If all are made immortal who are going to be made immortal at Christ’s coming, then who exactly is made immortal at the consummation when death is abolished? Whose death is abolished at the consummation? Is God all in all at the Christ’s coming, or is He all in all at the consummation when all are made alive? All creation is in Christ.

A whole bunch of thoughts and comments: In Genesis 3:1, isn't the "one" that deceived the woman described as more crafty than any other beast, and NOT technically described as a beast, NOR a creation that a man should have dominion over? (And perhaps in other places of scripture: - this "one" is characterised as having a character of a serpant, - and indeed is called "serpant" - including in Genesis 3:1, - And perhaps is also called "beast" - IMHO as a character/nature and not a "being") My point is how is it clear that Adam was to have dominion (or rule) over this "one" too? +++ She was NOT Eve, until when Adam called her that. Genesis 3:20 Adam called her "woman" from the start. Genesis 2:23 (There are special powers to the "calling" that was made.) The woman was BEFORE the fall. Eve was AFTER the fall. +++ Adam was "with" the woman. Genesis 3:6. It's not the same as Adam was "with" the woman physically at the time the woman had the conversation with the serpant. Also, Adam confirmed that he is stayed with her in Genesis 3:12. +++ The woman ate... Then gave to Adam. Genesis 3:6 It's not that Adam and the woman ate at the same time, per say. +++ The woman confirmed she was deceived. Genesis 3:13 Adam said he stayed with the woman he was given, even though she gave him of the tree to eat. Genesis 3:12 +++ The woman had a consequence... that includes Adam ruling over her. Genesis 3:16 Adam had rule over the woman AFTER the fall, NOT before. Adam had a consequence for listening (and taking heed) to the woman - instead of what God commanded him- to eat of the tree. Genesis 3:17 IMHO, the reason the reason for the consequence wasn't specified to the woman is because she is subject to Adam now. +++ The woman was decieved. 1 Timothy 2:14 Adam was NOT deceived. 1 Timothy 2:14 +++ There are a number of places in scripture where it states husbands are to love their wives. There are also a number of places in scripture where it states wives are to submit to their husbands. +++ Adam and "his bone of his bones, and flesh of his flesh... taken out of him" (Genesis 2:23), is akin to Romeo and Juliet... A love story done better... But still not right... They both died! Why did Adam, who was NOT deceived, stay "with" the woman? Why is the woman's desire "for" her husband? Genesis 3:16 +++ Christ came, then died... For his body, the church... And God was well-pleased! Isaiah 53:10; 2 Peter 1:17-18. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his unique Son, that whoever will believe in him will not be die, but will have life in the age to come" Also definitely see Ephesians 5:22-33

Revelation 12:9 refers to a great dragon, which it identifies as "the serpent of old" who is called the devil and Satan. So was this adversary speaking through the serpent in a similar way to how an angel of God may have spoken through Balaam's ass? We know snakes and donkeys don't talk (except in Shrek, The Jungle Book and the Bible). I get a kick out of how Balaam has a conversation with his donkey, and the narrator doesn't even address how crazy this is! I have to assume that the narrator of the Balaam story in Numbers expects us to know it was the angel that made him talk. Could you elaborate on the Hebrew word for serpent, on how it is related to whispering spells/divination? Was this creature/beast a hissing whisperer of some other sort? Was it really a serpent? Or was it one hisser (Satan) speaking through another? I like the idea of your video. There are all lot of little details we miss in the bible because we think we already "KNOW" the story, and we fail to read carefully. These small missed details would make a great theme for a series of short videos.

Matthew 22:31-32 “But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." Did not Jesus say to the dying thief, “ ‘Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise’ ” (Luke 23:43)? At the moment of death, the believers spirit/soul is ushered into the presence of the Lord. The apostle wrote, “To be absent from the body is to be present with Christ.” The mortal body lies in the grave until the resurrection when the spirit/soul is reunited with our immortal heavenly body.

The dead s spirits are sleeping but not in their graves but the good are sleeping with Abraham in Paradise,and the wicked unrepentant are across the gulf,sleeping in a tormented sleep,waitng on the resurrection of the dead,and the final judgement.Those who die for Jesus take part in the first resurrection and are raised to live again with Jesus in His kingdom here on earth for 1,000 years,and those that take part in the first resurrection dont die again,and have no part in the second death.

"Heis" does not mean one person, it means "one." It is masculine in 1. Cor. 8.4 because it is describing "theos" (God), which is masculine. The speaker in the video has added the word "person" here to fit his presupposed understanding of God, but it's not in the text of the verse. The title "one Lord" appears three times in the New Testament: once in Mar. 12.29, where Jesus says the LORD Our God is One LORD, once in 1. Cor 8.6 where the title of "one Lord" is exclusively applied to Jesus, and one final time in Eph. 4.5, which like 1 Cor., was written by Paul and thus is a reference to Jesus (unless Paul is contradicting himself). If we believe the whole Bible is true, this really only leaves two options: 1). either the LORD our God is a Lord but not our Lord, OR 2). the title of the LORD our God can be applied to Jesus.

Totally wrong. The scripture says a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. We should humble ourselves by calling ourselves sinners like the publican who beat his breast and called himself a sinner, whereas the Pharisee did not see his own sin of pride and looked down upon the publican calling him a sinner. God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. I want to receive Grace and so I humble myself by examining my life and in finding sin there lurking I rightly say that I am a sinner. James 4 which is written to Christians mind you states "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, YE SINNERS and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ". So there you have it. Scriptural proof that we are sinners. Paul explained that he was the worst of sinners and in Romans 7 he says this "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body [4] of this death? " So if the holy apostle called himself wretched because of sin then who are we to claim that we are better than Paul by not admitting that we are sinners. Obviously there is a false humility that many practice when they almost boast that they are sinners and hypocritically use it as an excuse for ongoing sin, but this is actually extremely wicked and prideful and we will fall from Grace if we do this so obviously that needs to be avoided. I wouldn't go around in public saying I am a sinner but in my private prayer I do concede that I am a sinner.

Good one, calling yourself a sinner is actually rejecting what Jesus has done to save the true born again believers from satan's bondage, dangerous words which can put you back in bondage... The definition of sin is living in satan's nature, Jesus came to deliver us from satan's bondage, resurrect our spirit allowing His Spirit to live in and through us, *now able to live in God's nature,* sons of God, not slaves of satan anymore.

This is how denial begins. I am not a sinner, but if I want to avoid cognitive dissonance when I do sin, I dare not recognize my sin as sin, which means that I continue to do it. This was one of the biggest obstacles to becoming a Christian that I faced. I had relatives, people who I knew very well, and I watched them blissfully unaware of their sinning. You can't correct what you can't recognize. I'm not talking about sex. In fact it was their focus on illicit sex as sin that seemed to blind them to the other things. Mostly it had to do with pain they caused by the misapplication of love. Within their families you could cut the pain with a knife, but they didn't see anything wrong at all. They were sinning and in denial of sinning.

Another example of ignorance of the Bible. Jeremiah 32:27: “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Yahweh (God the Father) said that he is God of all flesh. He became God of Jesus when Jesus became flesh in Marys womb. John 1:14 - The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. 1 Tim 2:5-5: For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a] Christ Jesus. Jesus rose physically and here Paul says that there is one mediator who is the man Jesus. So Jesus now in heaven has a physical body. So God the Father will remain his God till Jesus is in his flesh. Hence Paul says in 1 Corinth 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. Yahweh/God the Father, is God and Father of Jesus. In Revelation where you streched 4 times this is the reason. But you ignore other claims of Jesus eg. he claims to be the First and the Last in same Revelation 1:17, which is the title of only God Almighty in Isaiah 44:6. So before going to Revelation 3 you should have read Revelation 1. You should be mindful about what you say about Jesus. As you said that he is just an agent figure then why does God the Father addresses him as God and not just an agent in Hebrews 1:8 8 But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” How dare you say he is an agent and not God when God the Father, speaks about his Son in the above verse, he addresses him as God.

Everything and everyone was fore-known by God.. Jesus is the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.. Jesus existed from His birth, but Jesus, the Word, existed before His earthly birth.. 🤍🕊️
Here comes the Preterist Nonsense 😂😂
Jon also died in Neurotic persecution persecution and his brother James were martyred and die just as Jesus died when the brothers asked to sit side-by-side beside Jesus to his mother Jesus said you will drink the same cup as I have drunk
No no revelation was written in 63 in chapter 11 the temple was still standing when are you route the book it’s impossible that the whole Bible wasn’t completed and all the disciples died and the neurotic persecution and 66 A.D. read books on Josephus and books by Ed’sStevens
Lovely library. Thank You for sharing this video.
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Totally wrong. The scripture says a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. We should humble ourselves by calling ourselves sinners like the publican who beat his breast and called himself a sinner, whereas the Pharisee did not see his own sin of pride and looked down upon the publican calling him a sinner. God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. I want to receive Grace and so I humble myself by examining my life and in finding sin there lurking I rightly say that I am a sinner. James 4 which is written to Christians mind you states "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, YE SINNERS and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ". So there you have it. Scriptural proof that we are sinners. Paul explained that he was the worst of sinners and in Romans 7 he says this "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body [4] of this death? " So if the holy apostle called himself wretched because of sin then who are we to claim that we are better than Paul by not admitting that we are sinners. Obviously there is a false humility that many practice when they almost boast that they are sinners and hypocritically use it as an excuse for ongoing sin, but this is actually extremely wicked and prideful and we will fall from Grace if we do this so obviously that needs to be avoided. I wouldn't go around in public saying I am a sinner but in my private prayer I do concede that I am a sinner.
What do you call someone who can't stop sinning? That's right - A SINNER!!! I speak from an abundance of lifelong personal experience! "If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:8-9 Only a sinner can confess their sin!
There’s too much Narcissism already among us 😂
Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
The world is rejecting Christ and why?Christ died to overcome sin and while the world does not accept they are sinners they do not want to solve a problem they refuse to recognize.I am a sinner and need Jesus end of God bless!!!
Millions of Christians are going to vote for an unrepentent adulterer and fornicator for president anyway.
You have to separate body and spirit in your thinking. Our spirit is made new but our body is still wicked and evil. I would never say I'm not a sinner because that is a self righteous statement.
“This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief” - The Apostle Paul St. Paul the Apostle was a man who wrote a huge part of the New Testament, a man who God took the third Heaven while he was still alive in order to show him mysteries. But hey, what did he know? I'm sure this random KZread creator knows better and totally has the authority to tell all of the Christians in the world what we should be doing.
That's what I had been thinking as well, good to see it represented.
Martin Luther said that a Christian is simultaneously righteous and a sinner. Because we still sin, we are, by definition, a sinner. Because Christ's perfect righteousness is imputed to us through faith, we are righteous.
If we are not sinners then my why must we repent and be baptized?
" The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost."-1st Tim. 1:15. Paul said that he is the foremost of sinners, not that he was, but is. " If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."-1st Jn. 1:8.
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
Psalm 122:6-9 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. 8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. I'm a blood bought, born again, King James Bible Believing Christian. If you're willing, I want to share the Gospel with you. The Gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures It's how God shed his 🩸precious blood🩸 for you on Calvary, was buried, and rose again the third day for Jew and Gentile. Hebrews 9:22 states, "...and without the shedding of blood is no remission." Jesus paid for my salvation in his blood, and he did it for you too. Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Is your faith in that🩸precious blood of God, the Lord Jesus Christ🩸? m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/iHx3qKyteNfFYbw.html&pp=ygUUcm9iZXJ0IGJyZWFrZXIgZmFpdGg%3D And for further study on how God has unfinished prophecies with Jews/Hebrews/Israelites(they are all the same as pertaining to the flesh) check out Brother David Hoffman's verse by verse through the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews. m.kzread.info/head/PLHvhXjwFrTLtJGHJTzOAdABDMTbXy-fcF
Good one, calling yourself a sinner is actually rejecting what Jesus has done to save the true born again believers from satan's bondage, dangerous words which can put you back in bondage... The definition of sin is living in satan's nature, Jesus came to deliver us from satan's bondage, resurrect our spirit allowing His Spirit to live in and through us, *now able to live in God's nature,* sons of God, not slaves of satan anymore.
Sin is something that separates us from God harms our relationship with God or in the case of mortal sin can completely sever our relationship with God
Jesus Christ and His word from Genesis to Revelation disagree with you.
@@jamestrotter3162, then u should read it again...
This is how denial begins. I am not a sinner, but if I want to avoid cognitive dissonance when I do sin, I dare not recognize my sin as sin, which means that I continue to do it. This was one of the biggest obstacles to becoming a Christian that I faced. I had relatives, people who I knew very well, and I watched them blissfully unaware of their sinning. You can't correct what you can't recognize. I'm not talking about sex. In fact it was their focus on illicit sex as sin that seemed to blind them to the other things. Mostly it had to do with pain they caused by the misapplication of love. Within their families you could cut the pain with a knife, but they didn't see anything wrong at all. They were sinning and in denial of sinning.
This is so misguided theologically.
Christians will stop calling themselves sinners if Unitarians stop calling themselves 'Christians'😂
Wow, I woke up this morning thinking about this very topic. So I asked ChatGPT what adjectives for believers are in the NT. 1. Faithful 2. Beloved 3. Chosen 4. Holy 5. Blameless 6. Redeemed 7. Sanctified 8. Righteous 9. Disciples 10. Saints 11. Children of God 12. Born-again 13. Saved 14. Called 15. Elect. NOT sinners. I am so blessed about Dr. Smith sharing this.
Yes, but also the Apostle Paul called himself a sinner and St. John the beloved Disciple said if you say you have no sin, you're a liar. But hey, what did they know? I'm sure the KZread "Dr." knows better and should totally be your source for Christian teaching and authority.
Very enlightening session. Thanks Dr. Smith!
The dead are sleeping but the born again christian is in heaven..
Dead in Christ... read the scriptures
How can we go to Heaven before the sin problem is finished. Sin cant enter Heaven. Lucifer sinned in Heaven & was cast out with 1/3rd of his angels. Some were translated. Judgement before the reward or punishment.
Great job Dustin!
The body is in the grave not the spirit, the spirit goes back to God. The Lord said I will never leave you or forsake you.
No. The BREATH goes back to God, not the spirit which only means that the breath which God gave to the infant when they were born, goes back to him because the dead no longer need it. The spirit does not go to heaven.
Lots of bad assumptions here
Another example of ignorance of the Bible. Jeremiah 32:27: “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Yahweh (God the Father) said that he is God of all flesh. He became God of Jesus when Jesus became flesh in Marys womb. John 1:14 - The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. 1 Tim 2:5-5: For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a] Christ Jesus. Jesus rose physically and here Paul says that there is one mediator who is the man Jesus. So Jesus now in heaven has a physical body. So God the Father will remain his God till Jesus is in his flesh. Hence Paul says in 1 Corinth 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. Yahweh/God the Father, is God and Father of Jesus. In Revelation where you streched 4 times this is the reason. But you ignore other claims of Jesus eg. he claims to be the First and the Last in same Revelation 1:17, which is the title of only God Almighty in Isaiah 44:6. So before going to Revelation 3 you should have read Revelation 1. You should be mindful about what you say about Jesus. As you said that he is just an agent figure then why does God the Father addresses him as God and not just an agent in Hebrews 1:8 8 But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” How dare you say he is an agent and not God when God the Father, speaks about his Son in the above verse, he addresses him as God.
very super important point of truth
