    Letters or notes I write to my family and friends are directed to them. Even though my Happy Birthday north or advice I give one could be used to send a message to someone else. However if address a concern you can bet it is for who I address the letter. Just my take

    Hi Zach, about these 7 letters, in a scroll written to those living in the end times, why would we think that John was writing to them with information (only?) for his generation? Also why do we think that each letter is addressed to the "Angel" of the church?

  • @RestoreATX
    @RestoreATXКүн бұрын

    From Zach: "As I said in the message, these letters aren't only for the original 7 churches. We have a lot to learn from them too as have churches throughout the last 2000 years. This isn't only true of Revelation, but of other New Testament letters like Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, etc. The "angel" term is "ἄγγελος" in the Greek and it means messenger. Angels are messengers of God and these "angels" of the churches are messengers tasked with delivering these letters. It's the same Greek word we get the term "evangelist" from which means messengers of the Good News. These messengers probably weren't spiritual creatures, but real people who received and then delivered these letters to the churches."

    @@RestoreATX Thank you and Zach for the reply! Yes indeed there is much to learn for everyone along the timeline and agreed, there is much prophetic work among the epistles and gospels. I do believe that these 7 letters will have clear meaning to those in the final hour. About the Angels, I believe that Father appoints Holy Angels to safeguard churches, that these are among the ones of Hebrews 13:2 - like Yeshua, they have the vessel of a man but filled with an Angelic Spirit. As John was dictating from Yeshua, these messages are likely to these Angels in the Holy War at the end times. I know Zach is troubled with the toxic Christians and he's not alone. One of my pastors here in Atlanta is actively trying to quell the Christian Pharisees - I also am called to this task. I wanted to share what I believe is the core issue: we have mixed the covenants, dividing ourselves between Moses and Yeshua. It is the prideful of us that seek to rule over others and the list of rules is nothing but ammunition for them. Yeshua knew that about them, that they abused the rules, and He takes them all away with His One Law as He took away sin for the whole world. We really do need to, um, "un-follow" :) the Old Testament, but more specifically, "repent " from following the Law of Moses. Truly the ones (gentiles) who judge and persecute sinners of the Mosaic Law are anti-christ, as judging and persecution is the way of the enemy. I am calling these anti-christians, they profess Christ but follow Moses and the law that belongs to Israel alone.

    The idea of the rapture and the scary imagery of the end times (told by family who joined another denomination) made me shiver with fear in my bed. Took me so long to figure out that couldnt be right and it's not the heart of Jesus😢

    WOW, WOW. This is what I have been saying to people who claim as Christians they should not have to pay taxes to feed and house other people because that money should be donated by people to churches to do that as they attend churches who have stopped or never did anything meaningful to do such things. I am going to not only share this but save it so I can share it over and over. Thank you, this sermon has revived my hope in what a Christian church can be ❤

    Regarding the weekend in Austin. I am online and at first I was really excited to fill out this form. But my birth name is dead to me. I am trans and nonbinary but heavily closeted. I am afraid to fill this out. Because in usual churches I would likely be treated bad. I am unsure how I will be treated now. I go to this church online because the thought of going to a church where I can be understood gives me so much hope. And I love what you're doing so much that I am going to support it and want to be a part of it. But I am afraid and wanted someone to talk to about it. And also to bring up feelings from people like me who may not feel confident enough to say this

    Hi Zack - have you seen N T Wright's recent book on Romans 8? This includes his concurring with a position put forward by one of his former students that a more accurate translation of the Greek for 8:28 would be 'God works all things to good THROUGH (or WITH) those He loves, which fits with his largely vocational overview of the chapter, as well as the reassurance of God's love and strength in the Spirit that you highlight here.

    Hi Lindsay. No hate from me but I disagree with your opinion that a preacher with "a different sexual orientation" must be regarded by the church as equally acceptable as a preacher who happens to be female and gifted. While showing love to every soul, we should seek to guide erring ones into the absolute truth of God's word. Again, without hate.

  • @MajesticArtist
    @MajesticArtistАй бұрын

    Hey there, I disagree with you on the sexual orientation part, no hate tho. However I've had many lgbtq+ Christian friends that have got on their hands and knees and begged God to take away anything that is sinful in His eyes and fasted for days. Massacred themselves on the alter of religion because that's what they thought God wanted. And in the end God didn't take away their attraction to the same sex. Or them wanting and dreaming of being a different gender or no gender at all. And it tore them up inside and what they realized, is God never brought up that issue because it wasn't one in God's eyes. For instance when I sin and I do something wrong I feel it. When I lie I know that I did something wrong when I hurt people on purpose I feel God gently tell me I shouldn't do that. But when I dress in men's clothes and wear my bow tie and my hat and go by they/them, God doesn't tell me it's wrong. In fact I had one time where it was the opposite. I was planning a non-binary outfit and it wasn't coming together but sort of did. So I went to the dressing room to try the outfit on so I could tweak it and hanging on a clothes rack in the dressing room was the item that MADE that outfit. I kid you not I told my sister I couldn't have come up with a better thing to make that outfit if I searched the whole store. It had to be God and when I found that clothing item, I kid you not, a song was playing about how God is in every little thing we do and every little thing that happens to us. God affirmed me in that moment.

    Women cannot exercise authority over men. 1 Tim 2 is very clear. decons and elders are men, no condition given for women! This is not inequality. Its just different roles. Women can still teach children and other women. Her message is based on feelings, feelings cannot explain scripture! Gifts are only valid in the contexts in which we can use it. For example if someone in the church has gift to preach the word does not mean he can start preaching. We still reserve it to pastors only in most chirches, is it not inequality? 😂 A person with gifts can lead a bible study etc instead of preaching a sermon! That is not restriction of gifts.

  • @user-mc4tt2ov7l
    @user-mc4tt2ov7lАй бұрын

    Deuteronomy 22:5 is about gendered clothing, not about teaching. Also, what clothing is considered "masculine" or "feminine" changes in every place and culture. A great example is "masculine pastors" decrying skinny jeans as "feminine" in the early 2000s and then preaching in them a decade later.
