Why did Jesus used parable?
🎉 Blessed!
Praise You Jesus Amen Amen Thank you Pastor for wonderful message.
Peter's vision is about Jesus Christ"s sacrifice for all, not just the Jew. The focus is on Jesus Christ, not Peter being a racist. The Mosaic Law provided a means of purifying oneself from ritual uncleanness before entering into the temple. The nation Israel was set apart but, to be accepting to the foreigners of the land and providing for them and allowing them to join the nation and in worship at the temple. They had always been taught not to be racist. Acts 9:43 Peter is staying at a tanner's house in Joppa. He already is ritually unclean. But when going to Jerusalem, he is confronted about being unclean but stands his ground that all have been made clean by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the Lord. Continue reading the passage in Acts through to chapter 15. The Gospel is in full focus here. Eat whatever and however you want. If you want to follow Old Covenant Law go for it. But if you insist that others should also, you might be advocating that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ isn't enough. But it most certainly is.
Endless amen 🎉
It's past midnight and I felt impressed to watch this episode even though I have to be up in 5 hours. Your answers about negative thoughts are truly an answer to prayer. I've had them all my life but very intensely the last year, the thoughts have been incessant how I can never really be saved or have victory in my my life. You've filled me with such relief with how I can ask God to take these thoughts away. It sounds so simple now but I have felt so trapped. Thank you for explaining the Bible so faithfully and beautifully, I finally feel hopeful. God bless you both and your ministry. By the way, your both have a great sense of humor which is also appreciated 😊
you* both
A decision is instant...I believe SOP mentions the individual needs to have an "intelligent" understanding of salvation and of sin, and understand repentance. So even though the individual made an early decision...what could they have known of the truth, or the state of the dead, or the second coming of Christ, or the Holy Sabbath day. If I were the young man, I'd want to be rebaptized because I'd learned so much more truth as a young adult. Take a stand on your new perspective to your faith.
Thank you It is written!
Amen and Amen again 🙏
Regardless of what jesus looked like he is still my saviour. Amen. What Jesus look like shouldnt matter.
While some flesh foods are permissible according to the word of God, it is healthier to keep flesh foods to a minimum or not at all.

It's good to see these two speakers sitting close to each other. It seems like so many spiritual discussions are done about 15 feet apart (very strange).
These two dogs (John Bradshaw /Eric Flickinger) are ever learning and not able to come to the truth.

Thank you for inviting the author himself and explain the lessons. God bless more.
I was watching this, and i had to rewind it to make sure what little city with 2 casinos in Nor Cal you were talking about because that sounds just like where i currently find myself living in. And yep, you really did say Oroville California! Yes, you are correct that there are casinos within the city limits of Oroville. Except now, there's a third that's halfway between Oroville and the biggest city in our little county here, Northern California

We are not suppose to eat meat these days, Ellen G Whyte warns us against it during the last days. It is contaminated with unhealthy sunstances. We need to strive to be a vegan!!!

Thank you😢 for the explaining the parable of the sower. You have given me much to think about it and to see the many😢 faces of them
There was no Middle East until the 1800's. Rev. 1: 14 is clear about wht Christ looks like & He was a Jew not Jewish. Rev. 3:9 is very clear tht those people occupying the land of Israel at the moment, are not the true Jews, but the synagogue of Satan, plus they didn't arrive there until 1948!!!
Pastor John some people believe that Hell is already exist. Is that true???
The dead are sleeping right now.
No hell does not exist
Hi @railalamatawalu2888, click this link for the answer! kzread.info/dash/bejne/moyfq8-gqMS0pc4.html
What about Genesis 9:3 "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood."? There is no distinction here between clean and unclean here. Prior to this the clean and unclean must have been for sacrifice since there was no meat eating permitted.
The passage does seem to support your suggestion, but only if its context is ignored. There are also matters related to the meaning of the terminology used that have to be taken into consideration as we seek to better understand this passage. 1. Clean and Unclean Animals: The narrative of the Deluge introduces a distinction between clean and unclean animals for the first time in the Bible. The text appears to assume that they could be distinguished from each other, even though they all belonged to the same general categories of animals: cattle (or beasts), birds, and creeping creatures (Gen. 6:18, 19; 7:2, 3; 8:17). The distinction antedates the giving of the law of clean/unclean animals to the Israelites in Sinai (Lev. 11). Although in the Flood narrative we are not given an explicit rationale for the distinction, the differentiation plays an important role in the narrative. The value of clean animals is particularly emphasized by taking seven pairs of each of them into the ark, while only one pair of the unclean are preserved. All animals are taken into the ark for survival purposes, in order to preserve their class. After the Flood they would multiply and populate the earth again (Gen. 9:17). But in the case of clean animals more was intended than survival. This is indicated by that which took place immediately after Noah and the animals came out of the ark. Noah “built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it” (Gen. 8:20). Clean animals were used as sacrificial victims offered to God in gratitude for the preservation of Noah and his family. These sacrifices were placed on His altar (the table of the Lord, so to speak), and He accepted them. 2. Terminology Used: The phrase “everything that lives and moves” appears to be all-inclusive, but that’s not necessarily the case. “Everything,” or “all,” is used in the story to refer to “all” unclean animals (Gen. 6:19) as well as to “all” clean animals (Gen. 7:2). The phrase “that lives and moves” is problematic and is not employed anywhere else in the Flood narrative. While “what lives” is used in other parts of the story to refer to living creatures (Gen. 6:19; 8:21), “what moves” (Hebrew remeś, “creeping things”) designates mainly small animals such as reptiles (e.g., Gen. 6:7; 7:23). A literal translation would read “All living creeping animals will be food for you.” The other possibility is to interpret the Hebrew term as designating animals in general based on the use of the verb rather than on the use of the noun (e.g., Gen. 7:21; Ps. 104:20). This is the most common interpretation of the phrase among Bible students. But the singularity of the expression, as well as the use of “all/everything” to designate all clean or unclean animals, suggest that the biblical writer was not necessarily referring to all types of animals, only to clean ones. 3. Dietary Determination: The passage is about food for humans and therefore regulates human diet. God modified the human diet immediately after the Fall, allowing Adam and Eve to eat “green plants” (Gen. 9:3). Interestingly, according to Genesis 1:30, the phrase “green plants” (yereq c ēśv) was a general designation for the food of animals. But in Genesis 9:3 the same phrase is used to refer to “seed-bearing plants” (e.g., legumes and cereals), as indicated in Genesis 3:18. The all-inclusive phrase “green plants” is not all-inclusive but is restricted to the meaning found in Genesis 3:18. Now the Lord is allowing humans to eat animal flesh as food for them; and again, it is not flesh in general but certain types of it. The context strongly indicates that this is the flesh of all clean animals.
Praise the Lord! Thank you for this wonderful testimony. God is good and faithful. All Glory to God! Thank you Jesus!
Amen

What laws off Moses was nailed to the cross and how many did hy wrote in the book,was the whole book that wrote nailed to the cross only a part of it....plz I like to know...
Wow...I have learned something new today about Pieters' dream....i always know that it was meant the real thing to eat
Who was Pieter's?
@@Your_Truck_Driverit absolutely means you can eat any animal you want. These guys are completely missing the point. They are reading proof texts; not doing biblical theology. Don’t be fooled.
@@blueticks8423 What!? Did you even watch the video? What does Peter's vision have to do with eating anything you want? You know, a text without context turns into a pretext! No, you can't eat anything you want. 🤦🏻♂️
@@Your_Truck_Driver show me one verse in the Bible that says that God forbid anybody except Jews who were under the Sinai Covenant that they can’t eat unclean meats, or that the purpose was for health reasons. You won’t find it. The purpose God gave for giving the food laws to Israel was to set them apart as a distinct people amongst the nations. See Lev 11:44-47, 20:24-26, Deut 14:21. With this in mind, in Acts chapter 10, God gives Peter a dream of unclean animals and tells Peter to kill and eat. Peter understands the implications. This is opening up the Gospel to the gentiles and tearing down the walls of separation and distinction between Israel and the Gentile world. God did not tell Peter something untrue in order to teach him something true. He took away the unclean meat laws because they had fulfilled their purpose. It’s a both and kind of thing, not either or. The dream BOTH, loosed the Jews from their dietary restrictions AND broke the barrier between the Jews and Gentiles. This is abundantly clear in the rest of the New Testament. And we know from scripture that Peter went on to live like a Gentile. Gal 2:14 This doesn’t speak specifically about what he ate, but to assume that it didn’t include what he ate is just that; an assumption. In Acts 15, the question on the table is how much of the Torah do Gentiles need to observe. Unclean meats never comes up at all. This is evidence enough, but we also have the abundantly clear teaching of Paul in Romans 14, 1 Cor 8, and others, but especially in 1 Tim 4:1-5 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to deceiving spirits and DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM FOODS which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For EVERY CREATURE OF GOD IS GOOD, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” Paul is clear. Diet is not a part of the Gospel, and anyone trying to yoke you with that is teaching doctrines of demons. Whether or not these things are healthy is another discussion and I’m open to hearing the science in that. BUT, we are not restricted from eating them COVENANTALLY, or as a LAW, by God. “ the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” This is why I say these men are not doing theology. They are simply proof texting. They aren’t understanding the entire teaching of scripture on a subject.
@@blueticks8423if you think Peter’s vision say its about food then that is very absurd because that is not what the visionnis all about
We can eat meat, if we are believers, we should eat what God pointed as clean meat, But one thing many dont know is that the end time people will not eat meat at all, You dont believe ? The end time chosen believers will find even hurts to kill or hurt a little ant or lizard ,The Holly Spirit sanctified them to receive Jesus in the clouds, A sinner will not be in the present of the Glory ,burning, flaming fire of Jesus, many christians yhinks or believe that Jesus will change their character at the second coming , Thats false, The mark of the beast will show their intentions and their hipocresy , The majority of Christians will accept the mark of the beast with joy, They thought they couldn't be deceive by satan.🕵️
