"Come let us reason together."
A word appreciating my benefactors:
This man, Des Ford, from Australia has influenced me indirect or directly for over 49 years. All that I have become in any virtuous way is a direct result of his teaching. I use what I have learned from him to measure all others. He has kept me away from teachings that are rubbish. He sees Jesus in all of scripture and makes an understanding of Him more clear as a result.
Edward Fudge was a true elder brother. Like an elder brother he was much superior in many ways. Yet in his generosity, he treated me as an equal. A truly spiritual brother was he. I desire to be like him.
Mark Lanier a true example of Christian excellence letting Christ define his ethics in work, study and play. Only he could make a term like "bible nerd" desirable. His library, a world class Theological Library is his gift to any and all who will use it responsibly.

A camel can do 20 miles a day. Horses, 17 or more if they're fit. A man could walk 15 miles a day between way stations. Probably 10 or 12 if they had to camp. The Israelites plundered Egypt. You think they didn't take camels and horses? I wouldn't have made that journey without a horse, leading pack animals, and herding flocks. Slow travel, but doable at about 10 miles a day. Choosing the swamp crossing dumb socialist antitheists suggest is evidence of ignorance. You wouldn't take children and animals through a swamp right near a major military base. God parted the sea for them, and the ridge under the sea identified by bathymetry looks good to me. How would the Egyptian army be drowned in a muddy swamp? They wouldn't. Christians need to trust God's written history, not Marxist, socialist revisionist history.
I remember recording this song and the first version wasnt coming out too good. So we decided to hold on the recording til later and Micheal brought in this killer acoustic guitar player and this is the version that brought the song back to life....
This song was one we did often in congregational singing. I am not sure who Michael got. On the Christmas Album we had Wayne Wilkinson Jazz guitarist. I also recorded him with UIW Cardinal Jazz Band more recently. I do not remember Wayne being on the Don't Quit material but he may have been. He is incredible. How did Michael get information on your work? I remember He, his wife, me and my wife going to hear someone's gig on St Mary's street. Would that have been you?
Pam remembers the song not working. She said whoever it was they changed the tempo of the song making it sound so much better. She said she did not remember Wayne working on Don't Quit. However I got out the CD and Wayne was on the credits so I am sure it would have been him. It may have been him on only that song. It became a favorite congregational song.
@@fleetwd1 yes Wayne!! Now i remember.... Im so glad that the song is a favorite..... I remember after i was done tracking, i had this ultimate "high" within myself. I went home on a cloud so to speak....
@@erictobias7 That is great. I am sure it was not sung congregationally until Wayne had his influence on it.
@@erictobias7 i may have gotten your number wrong. i started Texting shortly after 11 am but never heard back tried calling 10:30 pm was the wrong number it was the number to Village of San Antonio.
i played drums on this track as well as the rest of the songs on the album....great song!!
Talked to Michael. He said you might have some masters of his music that he would like copies of. let me know how to connect. I have a copy of Living Water CD for you. I live fairly close to your Studio.
@@fleetwd1 the studio where it was recorded no longer exists. Marc Dehoyos has the studio in his home now....
I am sorry I got you mixed up with Marc. He did a drum track for Michael on the Christmas album. Did you work on that album at all?
@@fleetwd1 no i didnt...
@@fleetwd1 i used to play with Marc in a coverband and he asked me if i would play on this record. So i basically learned the song the same day as recording, we brought those piano songs to life. It was great fun.
i am the drummer on this record. i had a wonderful experience recording this.im glad i found it.this album was originally recorded in 1997(i think)at Sound Foundation studios in San Antonio tx and it was titled Dont Quit....i have the cd.Glad you are well Micheal....
Michael is well. I remixed the song order and left off a few songs. If you would like to see and to hear the new Product let me know. Michael liked it more. I think he rushed the Don't Quit version because he was leaving town. Michael will be delighted to know you have heard the uploads. We also have the Christmas album up in a new version at Michael's request after he heard what I did with Don't Quit. It was not rushed so there was not as much redoing. mainly videos causing some song order to mix the visuals. we have it as a play through as A Classic Christmas and we have individual songs under a Michael Mertens Christmas.

The Bible is a Catholic book ❤️
there are various views of when the Roman Catholic Church began. They claim at Pentecost and the eventual installment of Peter as bishop of Rome. The only problem is there is no evidence that Peter was ever installed as the Bishop of Rome. Luther and Melanchthon said that the Roman Catholic Church began around 600 with Pope Gregory the Great. This was much later than the Biblical Canon was chosen. I noticed you did not add Roman to Catholic but when you Capitalize catholic which means universal it becomes more specific through the capitalization. I disagree for that reason. The Bible was largely a Hebrew Book of scrolls before the Codex form came in the 2nd to 3rd centuries and then canonization in the 4th century, 350 AD, under Bishop Cyril bishop of Jerusalem. Note is was not Bishop of Rome. It was also in the 4th century that the schism between the Eastern and Western churches began over the claim by Rome for Papal supremacy. Jerusalem was with the Eastern Churches. So No the Bible is not a Catholic book. peace
@@fleetwd1 , Jesus made the Catholic Church and named Peter ❤️
@@fleetwd1 , everything Christian you know is Catholic 🤗
@@Church888 the evidence does not support the Roman Catholic claim "Jesus made the Catholic Church." This is why the Eastern church separated from them. They made false claims of superiority. Just because you make the claim does not make it so.
@@Church888 "everything Christian you know is Catholic" Try telling that to the Eastern church.
Did the apostle paul call the jewish jesus YESHUA or Jesus Christ
we do not know what he might call the person we call Jesus but I am sure he did not use English terms. there is written evidence in letters written by an associate of Paul who wrote the name and designation in Greek. They wrote it as Ἰησοῦς Iēsoûs. which was an equivalent meaning to our English name Joshua the anointed. Hebrew Scriptures were translated into Greek long before the first century. NT writers used the Greek equivalent to Hebrew words already translated to Greek.
The greatest teacher. I understand the Bible than ever. A true profet of all time. Amen 🙏. Sleep well til Heavenly Angels lift you up to life eternal
Amen Amen

Please try to put these excellent lectures on Spotify etc as a podcast
I am sorry, I am not connected to Spotify. I do not even use it myself. my purpose is in offering video and audio here on KZread. Thank you for your interest and your recommendation. perhaps someone who does Spotify will respond to your suggestion.
here is a link to the Biblical literacy website on the Philippians series there are three pages this link will be the last page on the subject. there are audio files to listen to among the resources. Chapter 21 is the last presentation in the series at the bottom of the page you can go backward to the beginning chapter 1. the chapters are for a planned book not chapters in the biblical text. Chapter 1 begins on page 3 they go in reverse order. if you change the setting to show 50 pages instead of 10, they will all be on one page.

@@elel2608 thanks for bringing attention to this.
people are interconnected in love / there are many contemporary and historical theologians who ask the question "what IS a person ?" Fudge fails to include this contingent reason for existence
The purpose of the Lecture was not on "What is a person" but on "A Biblical and Historical Study of Hell." It alone was done in record time with an audience made up of many who had divergent views on the subject. The topic was chosen by the host because of Edward's expertise on the subject. While your topic would be one of interest It was not what the host wanted covered.
Just caught this wonderful lecture on KZread. Amazing!
Yeshua or Iesous is Kyrios. That is supreme and equal with God in that Yeshua Iesous is God. All exousia (power) in heaven and earth has been given to Yeshua! To say Christos is to equally say Mashiac. There is only one Yeshua Iesous who was the seed of Abraham and who is the Kyrios over all His Elect people both Jew and all those Ethnic people for whom He has saved by the blood of His cross and by His perfect righteousness imputed to all of the ransomed members of His body throughout all the ages. Hallelujah what a Savior!
I would like to hear this fine presenter give a lecture on "Why I Am A Baptist".
@@aservantofjesus7648 interesting point. If you follow him you will know he grew up in a different tradition. The Baptist church he is a member of gives him flexibility on topics he might differ with. Not every Baptist church would allow this freedom. This speaks well for the church he attends.
Dr Ford is right on spot with the perpetuity of the Sabbath. That plenty people missed out on is that the true Gospel teaches you about the perpeuity of the law and Sabbath observation.
The problem with Chalcedon it is makes it sound like Jesus did miracles by his own attributes of deity. But Scripture does not bear this out. The book of John illustrates many times that Jesus did miracles by the Father dwelling in him in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why Jesus did no miracles in his childhood, or early adult life. It was after the Holy Spirit came upon him that the miracles started. This was the Kenosis.
Scripture says in several places the disciples words "What manor of man is this?" Answer it was man as he was created to be, before the fall. The miracles were demonstrations of man ruling over the many things God set at creation. Man was to have dominion over the beast of the field, the fish of the sea, the elements like storms, and weather. So it is not Christ's divinity but His true humanity, unbroken by sin, on display.in the miracles.
@@fleetwd1 Well, I'm not sure Adam had control over the weather. But you are right in that he had control over the animals, but it does not say he had control of the weather (who knows, maybe he did). But that is not the point. Jesus did miracles by the Holy Spirit in him, the Father doing his work. Now, if that is true then the Logos had lost his miraculous powers and needed the other persons of the Trinity to supply them. Acts 10:37-38 says, "You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached- how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him." This is a form of the Kenosis theory, when he emptied himself to take on the form of a servant, being made as a man. Yet it must be remembered that he always had that spiritual identity as God.
@@Mike65809 it is true weather was not mentioned directly. But it is implied in that man was given dominion over all creation to rule as a coregent with God. Weather is part of creation. You are correct in your rejecting that Jesus used His own divine power to accomplish miracles. He relied upon God for divine power. Paul describes it this way: Jesus, "Who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His advantage." (Philippians 2:6 HCSB) If Jesus used divinity to accomplish anything, He would not be qualified to be a substitute/representative for man. He had no advantage over that which mankind had before the fall. However, He did not have the propensity to sin that mankind inherited from Adam's fall. He was born Sinless as was Adam. He was the 2nd Adam, a representative man. He took on the obligation of Man under the law and overcame where Adam failed. All created beings owe obligation to God for themselves. Only God who is not under obligation can step in and submit to be obligated for another. That the Spirit and the Father were enabling Christ through His faith is no doubt. He had laid down his divinity when He became Human so He could rescue and restore mankind to the relationship with the Father that was originally intended..
@@fleetwd1 Agreed. You are one of the few who gets it. The only thing I would stress is that he was still God in his spiritual identity of the Logos made man. In that way he was always worthy of worship, even a s a baby, which he received from the magi. So technically he didn't lay down his divinity, but emptied himself (kenosis) of the miraculous attributes associated with it and became a man. BTW, I'm sure you would agree that he didn't pretend to be a baby, he was one. He didn't pretend to grow in wisdom, he did grow. The Hypostatic Union idea cannot account for this, or only does so by saying in his human nature he did these things. That brings Nestorius back into the picture, the thing they were trying to avoid. Amen? God bless.
His people are Israelites. Jews and Israelites are not synonymous. Jews are the descendants of Judah. Some Jews are Israelites but not all jews are Israelites. Joseph was passed the blessing from Abraham...not Judha. This is a huge lie that has been perpetrated by the church. Please read and study your Bible.

Yes Edward is clear on the gospel. glad you noticed.
You're definitely resting in God's peace and love Dr. Desmond Ford, you're considered a hero in most people's eyes. Even though SDA disagreed with you in the idea of 'Investigative Judgment' still you defend and respect SDA till the day you died. GOD BLESS YOUR HEART!
very very true. Are you related to Robert? love his music and his sermons.
I am a mystic and a woman, so I handled the ideas of Paul through two divergent lenses for decades. But as a theist and mystic I know only my own practice and suspect that is true of any. So Wright's weird service to what he imagines Paul imagined and his focus too on place in discussions of a religion with a messiah who pointed to his body as the temple and asserted god is spirit makes this lecture, which I skimmed resemble Dante's march through hell or how I felt learning who knows how to starch the altar cloth or how to polish brass.
Not sure what book, or chapter he's says there's a whole chapter concerning the parable of Lazarus & the rich man. I got the book the fire that consumes, & in chapter 11 there's around 5 pages. That chapter 11 refers to the final punishment but not the parable only. Does anyone know if he's talking about another book than the Fire that Consumes? That section is a stumbling block for me.
The first edition the chapter is called Final judgment in the teachings of Jesus. the Luke passage is from page 203-208. In the 3rd edition it is alone in chapter 14 on pages 148-154 which is 7 pages long. This lecture was given the same year his 3rd edition came out in 2011 which has a chapter devoted to it. I hope this helps. He also writes about it in his gracEmail available to search for free by topic at WWW.edwardfudge.com
@@fleetwd1 Thanks much. There was some confusion when I bought the book through Amazon, as it appeared that I got a version published in 2016, but I believe it must of been the 1st edition through a new publisher, so the guy I talked to thought it was the latest. The parable is covered in pages 203-208. I'll check out the GracEmail aslo.
@@robd2650 Yes he first edition is still available through print on demand. It is less expensive and has more pages over 500. the third edition is the newest and has only 417 pages. I prefer some aspects of each. The first edition is more exhaustive and captures Edward's even handedness in dealing with the subject. The 3rd edition gives forwards by all 3 of the men writing forwards for each edition Richard Bauckham for the 3rd, FF Bruce for the 1st and John W. Wendham for the 2nd released in Europe with less pages. While the 3rd editions has less pages it has Edward responding to the 17 authors who wrote 15 books against his. None of the objections made were not covered in his 1st edition but Edward still addresses their objections. So the 3rd edition has added material in less pages so the 1st edition covers no stone unturned on the subject. Enjoy your investigation of the word on the subject knowing as Edward this issue is not a salvation issue. there are Christians holding differing views Edward just believes this is the most Biblical of the 3 views. He was raised believing the more dominant traditional view. He was hire to do research and was surprised with what he found. There is a Hollywood Movie called Hell and Mr Fudge. Patty Dukes Son plays the adult Edward. you can stream it several places for free with adds. It is also available on DVD reasonably.

I can't wait to meet Mr Fudge.
Why is this even an issue? Shouldn’t more time and effort be spent on doing evangelism rather than arguing over nonsense like this? I keep looking at the Great Commission. It says nothing about arguing publicly over nonsense like this. It tells us to go out and make disciples.
Edward does not argue. He teaches Edward Knows this issue is not a salvation issue. He teaches the issue because it is the Scriptural teaching on the subject. You need not agree with him for him to treat you like a brother in Christ for the sake of what Jesus accomplished for God's rescue of Mankind. When Scripture says you are complete in Him (Jesus) it covers everything even erroneous views just as it did the disciples erroneous views. So why teach this issue? mainly so we do not misrepresent God or His word on the subject..i have many videos by Edward dealing with the gospel. He is Exceptional. Rethinking Evangelism is one, his video about his book the divine rescue another and last but not least his videos om Hebrews one about his two commentaries written and a playlist of a sermon given on Hebrews. others may in comments want to argue the issue but Edward said I have put what I know about the subject in the video. I will let that speak for me.
Doing evangelism is something that I practice regularly and I agree that it is very important but when from the pulpit and from Christian circles the false unbiblical and maligning towards the character of God false doctrine of eternal conscious torment is thrown on the faces of believers and is a disgrace to the Christian church and a put off for non-christians that actually hinders not only the church growing and truth but also unbelievers from accepting the gospel in some cases because it makes God out to be an a eternal torturer. I think of all the accusations the late Christopher Hitchens made against Christianity which were erroneous in large measure but when he would bring up eternal torment I had some sympathy for him because I too disregard that hideous view that many of my godly brothers and sisters in Christ hold to.
@@michaelnewzealand1888 I could be wrong but Edward shared with me some of those who agreed with him from New Zealand. Perhaps you are one of them. Good for you. Rethinking Hell is an evangelical group of scholars from various backgrounds who are supporting Edward’s message of conditional immortality.
@@michaelnewzealand1888 I’m sorry you don’t like what the NT very clearly teaches about eternal judgment. Unfortunately, reality doesn’t always reflect what we like or what we prefer. Whether you think the NT’s teaching about eternal judgment is good or bad is pretty irrelevant. God does not rule the universe according to our likes and dislikes, but his own. But I can’t really imagine doctrines more clearly taught by Jesus than 1) there is life after death, 2) that there is consciousness after death, 3) that it is too late to change our judgment after our death, and 4) that there is torment for some after death. I’m very sorry that you dislike these clearly taught truths from the NT.
@@toddstevens9667 brother we will have to agree to disagree I think number 3 is correct but the other ones are not It's not what I prefer either I think the New Testament clearly doesn't teach 1,2 or 4. I do like the fact that you are trying to uphold what the New Testament teaches. I just disagree with you about what it teaches, not about its supremacy. I totally 100% believe in the final authority of the scriptures not the church, not tradition, not the pope, not a pastor, not my view, not your view, but the scriptures. God bless you brother.

Edward Fudge could be as important as Martin Luther in influencing the church away from error and into truth.
yes and many are unaware that his understanding of the gospel is immense. His two commentaries on Hebrews and two books "the divine Rescue" and "the great rescue" attest to. His website www.edwardfudge.com is filled with great insights for the gospel in his gracEmail writings.

There is also a bush that (can't?) isn't consumed by fire
Yes that is one of two cases in scripture the other one being the three friends of Daniel who are thrown into fire and not consumed. but that is because there is with a son of man walking amongst them and in the case of Moses God's grace was extended toward him so not being consumed (saved from destruction) is what happens to believers, whilst being consumed, the normal situation of a fire on a tree or being thrown into a Fiery Furnace, is what happens to unbelievers.
Numbers 16: 30-33 But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.” 31 And as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. 32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.

Paul's faith was that of Shem, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, the prophets , John and Jesus . The temporary covenant given to Israel at Mt. Sinai was finished at the cross. Upon resurrected, the Lord enacted his new covenant and mediated it himself as promised in the Hebrew scriptures. The fact that he broke himself into pieces ( as in the covenant he made with Abraham) is an everlasting sacrifice, once and for all people, as promised.
What a precious man Mr. Fudge was. I hope to see him receive his heavenly reward. ❤
yes indeed.
Love Phil !
I like this guy's teaching, but I disagree with his views that physical circumcision is only for the Jews. According to Genesis 17:11, God {Yehovah} instructed Abraham, a Chaldean, to circumcise himself and every male in his household as a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham. This requirement is explicitly stated in the biblical text. The phrase "will be the sign of the covenant between me and you" in Genesis 17:11 indicates that circumcision serves as a physical sign of the covenant between God and Abraham, as well as his descendants. It is a visible marker of their spiritual identity as being part of God's covenant community. The biblical text does not limit the requirement of circumcision to the Jew/Israelites alone, but rather extends it to all believers who come after Abraham. “There is not Yehuḏi nor Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female, for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua. And if you are of Messiah, then you are seed of Aḇraham, and heirs according to promise.” (Gal 3:28-29) ~Shalom

One of my favorite things about "The Fire That Consumes" is the way Mr. Fudge writes his footnotes. They are so gracious, kind, Christ-like and personal, just as he was in this presentation. In this speach, Mr. Fudge gave an amazingly full overview of his book, but if you are interested in gaining a full appreciation of both what the Biblical witness on this topic is, as well as a Mr. Fudge's excellent scholarship, I highly recommend the 3rd edition of his book.

I don't mean to be disrespectful but when you said that those in the flood that died were destroyed forever. How do you explain this? "Christ was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive in the spirit, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits- 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah." (1Peter 3:18-20) Wasn't the flood before Christ came?
I think you misunderstood. Edward does not believe when anyone dies in this present age or life they will not be dead forever until the age to come. There is a resurrection for both the saved and the unsaved. but it happens at the end of this present age. Judgment then determines who will live and who will perish.
@@fleetwd1 Jesus was quite adamant as to when "this age" was to end. How many ages does Edward say there is? Jesus explained it with the parable of the wicked vinedresser and the rich man and Lazarus, indicating the final and complete end of the Levitical order and that end would come in the generation of those He was speaking to. The religious class, Judah had mismanaged the kingdom of God. Through Christ, the hope of Israel, the messiah had come, the kingdom is now being opened up along with the remanent Jews, and handed over to the Gentile nations, the rest of God’s children who He also loved. Once "this age" ended then the "age to come" began.
