4:50 calling a group this name makes it a religion, right?
Before it was The Way. The Reality in Real Time, not just a filter or lense?
we thank our Lord for using our brothers and sisters both back then and now to spread His word! may we join them and support them however we can!
This was sooo good!!
Jesus Christ is king and truth
Never will be a Christian or Catholic. Never
The self-appointed apostle who claims that he saw a vision of Christ. The man wrote half the New Testament and people call it the "Word of God"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Oh Lord, come!
thank you for the video! i got new perspective why Paul did all bad things to Jesus's followers. God's word is amazing, always give me something new to learn.
You´re amazing guys! Thanks A LOT. I love the way you evangelize!
🙏
Yes Lord Jesus said, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” acts 1:8 ❤❤❤

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: "Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?" Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?
The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20).
Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform.
If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century – Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

0:41 the way u show Jesus' death and resurrection as a solar eclipse is AWESOME! watching this as I anticipate news of the 2024 Solar eclipse
And the Apostle Paul was the last desciple to be called by Jesus Luke 18:22. I believe he was also present at the time of the baptism of Jesus Christ, because he would have known about John the Baptist and everything he said concerning the Messiah, which could have prompted him, as a Pharisee of pharisees, to seek out validation from him in Luke 18.
1) The rich young ruler's main concern was to "inherit eternal life " vs 18. He judged himself worthy because he believed he had been obeying all the laws.
2) He had been listening to Jesus's teachings and was convinced that he was a man of authority, though, he wasn't ready to accept the fact He could be the Messiah, so he approached Jesus in a condescending manner- as he was a pharisee and they believed themselves to be above everyone else. So, he sucked up to Jesus by calling Him "Good Master ". Jesus saw through him and responded in a way that means He was God, if Paul believed that He was good, and went on to poke holes in his legalistic beliefs- he believed he never committed adultery, but Jesus taught that to just look on a maiden lustfully already constituted a breaking of the law, so was bearing false witness, which they were notorious for, but wouldn't admit to, so he was indirectly stealing from the temple coffers in the name of doing business for God Galatians 1:14; as was not honoring their fathers and mothers in the name of bringing offerings to the temple etc. and finally, told him to get rid of the source of his pride: his wealth, and distribute to the poor, as they usually pretended to do to look good before the people. He wasn't ready to even exchange that to gain eternal life, which Jesus understood (and gave him time before answering his calling vs 22).
He began to follow Jesus from then onwards, persecuting Him just to get physical proof on Him as a fraud. I believe he was behind all the questions to get Jesus to break the laws- including paying taxes (Jesus was called the Son of David, David and his house have been tax exempt by King Saul, for slaying Goliath, by this they're negating His relationship with King David, hence, cannot be the Messiah, they even insult Him of being born of fornication, as Mary got pregnant before getting married John 8:41 etc.)
3) I believe he spearheaded the group that deceived Judas to betray Him, and those they bought to shout "crucify him " over and over again until Jesus was crucified on the cross. He really did persecute Jesus and by so doing, get to follow Him as other desciples, learning from His teachings all along, even sneaking behind to witness the last supper to confidently say he received it of the Lord
1 Corinthians 11:23, to make hin an Apostle born out of due time – long after his calling 1 Corinthians 15:8.
3) His anger made him turn his his back on his own life, and began to persecute everyone linked to Jesus, from Stephen up till the time he fell off his high horse- so to speak, and was forced to come to reality of who Jesus Christ really was- The Son if man(David), The Son of God, which he knew all along but his legalistic mind was resisting it: he finally called Jesus "Lord", though subconsciously, but he always knew He was Lord when he heard His voice again Acts 9:4-5.
After this, he became so overzealous enough to begin to let everyone know that "Jesus was the Son of God, and the Messiah" vs 20,22. He began to immediately experience persecution himself, which got him to Arabia, where he had ample time and opportunity to review all the proof he had collected while he was persecuting Jesus 2 Timothy 4:13. (That was why he could write with so much understanding of the Lord in all his epistles).
4) Philippians 3 was where he finally came to terms with the fact that all his wealth could not be exchanged for the knowledge of Christ and gaining eternal life- his all life pursuit Luke18:18! This came at a price though- he lost all his fortune, that he wasn't willing to give up at that time: Luke 18:18-30, calling them "dung." But now, forgetting all his past life, and pressing towards the prize of the "high calling " of Jesus, as he now sees it!
That was why it was easy for the other desciples to extend to him the right hand of fellowship as the Apostle of the gentiles Galatians 2:9.
That was also why he could withstand the other desciples when they were preaching the law and circumcision together with the grace of God in Christ Jesus in Acts 15. Immediately after preaching in the synagogue that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Acts 9:20-22, God sent Barnabas to help him fulfill his calling, and spread the gospel if salvation to both Jews and gentiles, especially the gentiles.
The gospel of the salvation of our souls is simply by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the completed work of the cross that no one can add to or remove from by doing good or bad. The Holy Spirit was sent to guide, teach, interpret, and keep until the end, John 14:26. Thus,He quickenes the believers and takes them all up at rapture. Until then, we give ourselves to studying the scriptures to make ourselves approved unto God as workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth-daily!
That was the reason why the Apostle loved his Jewish brethren so much that he wouldn't mind being accursed, as long as they can all (the 12 tribes), be saved! Romans 9:3!
That was the reason he endures so much beatings and maltreatment from the Jews, who really hated him, but he continued to concern himself with them, even took up collection of money for the Jewish belivers, even though he was sent to the gentiles-39 stripes 5 timed, got shipwrecked, got bitten by a venomous snake, but like the Duracell battery, he still kept going strong till the end! How stinky and painful and full of putrefying sores, his body must have been, yet he kept on going…
So he ran and finished his course and ensured that the outcast tribe of Benjamin, finally has a place in the body of Jesus Christ, and will sit with Him on the right hand of the throne of God, in heavenly places!
He made and left us all a legacy, so we can all make it. Thus, he is free from the blood of everyone who rejects so great a salvation story!
Apostle Paul, whose ancestors were separated from Israel by their actions in Judges chapters 19-21, which made the Benjamites restored by grace! God had to give king Saul a new heart, but he couldn't even abide till the end, and only the covenant between David and Jonathan that kept his descendants, from Mephibosheth, to Mordecai, Esther, and even up to the Apostle Paul.
This same Zeal was in him for Israel, who didn't know what they had as God, but keep messing up!
The Apostle Paul was proud of his heritage, and kept God's law so strictly, that he even got mad to death, at Jesus Christ, when he went to him for validation Luke 18:18-22.
He began to persecute Him because He was touching what was the most important thing to him at that time- his relationship with God of Israel through the observance of His laws, and now came someone else with a strange doctrine. He persecuted Jesus to death- literally and continued with His followers, until his deferred calling in Luke 18:22 became effective in Acts 9. Since then, he never looked back. Although He was the Apostle to the gentiles, he frequently went back to Jerusalem, just so that the Jews could take advantage of the gospel of the salvation of their souls, by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ Romans 9:3-5.
That's how much love both Moses and Paul had for the Jews, who didn't realize the importance of who they were and whose they were-the Living, Lord God Almighty, who only has them for His people ( cf. Ephesians 2:12).
They both have deferred calling!
(Nadie sabe lo que tiene, hasta el dia que lo pierde, indeed!)
James 4:11-12
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Great content. Thank you.
EL APÓSTOL PABLO (igual que Jesucristo) FUE ODIADO POR LOS FARISEOS, NO AMADO POR LOS FARISEOS.
CARACTERÍSTICAS DE LOS FARISEOS
1. No viven lo que enseñan.
“Los maestros de la ley religiosa y los fariseos son los intérpretes oficiales de la ley de Moisés. Por lo tanto, practiquen y obedezcan todo lo que les digan, pero no sigan su ejemplo. Pues ellos no hacen lo que enseñan.” (Mateo 23:2-3 NTV)
2. Viven de la apariencia.
“Todo lo que hacen es para aparentar. En los brazos se ponen anchas cajas de oración con versículos de la Escritura, y usan túnicas con borlas muy largas.” (Mateo 23:5 NTV)
3. Son hipócritas.
“Por fuera parecen personas rectas, pero por dentro, el corazón está lleno de hipocresía y desenfreno.” (Mateo 23:28 NTV)
4. Enseñan ideas humanas como si fueran mandatos bíblicos, y pasan por alto la ley de Dios dándole más importancia a la tradición.
“Su adoración es una farsa porque enseñan ideas humanas como si fueran mandatos de Dios” . Pues ustedes pasan por alto la ley de Dios y la reemplazan con su propia tradición.” (Marcos 7:7-8 NTV)
Friday, January 12, 2024, 6:07 Japan time. I am a resident of the main island of Okinawa, Japan. My name is Tetsuo Goya. I'm a Christian. preaching the gospel of God. The gospel is Paul and the 12 disciples called apostles who witnessed the resurrection of the dead in Christ Jesus. Paul's Greek name is Saul, and his Hebrew name is Saul. I wholeheartedly believed the information they had witnessed and confessed it publicly. And from the judgment of God's wrath, they are adopted children of God. This is the Abrahamic Covenant. Christ Jesus bore the burden of sin, died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Bible. Romans 10:8-10. And then there is the new birth in Deuteronomy 30:6-14. Furthermore, He is the one who has received the baptism into my heart with the seal of the Holy Spirit as written in Ephesians 1:13. This was Jeremiah 31:31-34. The same thing is written in Ezekiel 11:19. I started volunteering to help children in orphanages in Kenya. If this reader wishes us amen. That's right. If you chant this, I would like you to join us and support the children, the little brothers and sisters of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor Nicodemus, shown below, is the point of contact for the orphanage. He would like to send money via Western Union. Please contact him directly and have him send the money. As I looked at the children, I realized that 90% of them were still between 4 and 6 years old. She was so cute and thanked and praised God for inviting me online during mealtime. We bless you who are grateful to God for voluntarily donating money to help such children of God.

We Thank Our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ Living God for knowing all this and answering our Humble Prayers!!
It was an angel of God that appeared to Cornelius and Peter fell into a trance before having a vision. But I still don't get why it would be commanded to eat various animals? God being selective in the Old Testament makes more sense
God mission is still on
It never occurred to me that Saul would see the rise of Christianity as God's people turning to a "false" God as they had in the Old Testament. It makes him seem more sympathetic. Of course, nowadays we reap the benefits of Paul's apostleship and Peter choosing to obey God and reach out to non-Israelites.
I belong to the LGBT Community. Many people are told by God that it's not the path He has planned for them. But He tells others that we are as He made us. Popular Christianity only accepts one answer; they firmly insist no one is born gay and we are all sinning. But after God spoke to me directly and taught me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I was able to read the account of Peter meeting with the centurion and his family with new eyes. In most people's eyes, I am that unclean thing. But as it is written, "Do not call unholy what God has made clean". We are all Goyim that have been called to righteousness. Not because of birthright, but because of the love of God.
and so began the early church, what a shame that you denounce the early catholic church
"So is Peter going to start a new diet?' 😂❤
Thank you so much for this incredible work and videos!They are really helpful in understanding the bible easier and the animations make it so much fun too!Praise Jesus!🩷🙏
how i discovered this belief system that i have now, is after over years of deep end iceberg research when i was desperately trying to save my life after injecting myself with a bio-weapon (Covid Vaxx)
i scowered the deepest ends of the internet, often spending multiple hours a day watching content, that some laughed at me for sharing because of how advanced it was
then i found people like Xtremerealitycheck and The Masters Voice, i could tell how they clearly knew things that i knew were to be true, and they were way more ahead then other people
but they were were constantly adamant on how they had a relationship with the Almighty Creator (who they mistakenly call Jesus) and he is the one that downloaded information in their minds and guided them and did miracles in their life
after a ton more research i found plethora of indications that indeed, there IS a creator to the universe! but because they said a lot of truth, i believed that since they said a lot of truth and indeed had a relationship with the Almighty Creator and also claimed this creator was Jesus, that i also mistakenly believed that he was Jesus
then after praying and asking the Almighty Creator to lead me into truth, i found end time issue ministries / etiminDOTorg and amightywindDOTcom, and nothing has made so much sense as it does now!
it is a site made by James Robertson, a person that has had a deep personal relationship with the Almighty Creator for over 25 Years! and is teaching others on how to do the same!
i have also tried the protocols given on his site in drawing close to the Creator and as i was doing it something entered my room, i fell to the floor in intense joy, feeling as though i was experiencing 1% of what heaven would feel like, it felt like for a while all my filth disappeared, after the presence left and the sensation left, i realized just how spiritually contaminated i had been all this time…
also every time i go outside something happens that is becoming almost laughable at how hard to believe it seems even for me, like:
people approaching me asking me for money for their medication, people i have not seen for years approaching me asking me to hop in their car to talk to them, finding a kid that was about to cry because their parents weren't home and i had to help them out (yes really), Cancer patients being sent to me(and failing to help -.-), i was thinking about going to a place that is on the outskirts of the city, but without telling anyone, one of my family members takes me to a place that is VERY close to where i wanted to go without me even saying anything! then they leave, but when it was time to head back i randomly bumped into another person that i know, and turns out they were going to a place that is right next to a very important religious leader! so i hop on and go with them
it is clear to me i am being led by someone who is FAR above me 😁
and i want the same for others!
i asked the Almighty Creator for his name, and i believe his name is Yahooeh, which means Yah the eternally self-existing!
and on the etiminDOTorg site, the following is written:
Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, the Almighty Creator says:
"I created human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together, my greatest grief is that almost NO person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!"
the Almighty Creator says he desires a deep personal relationship with YOU!
just make a conscious decision that there IS a creator, and afterwards, humble yourself, and pray "Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self-existing, i have been told that you desire a deep and personal relationship with me, if this is the case, please show me in any way you want so that i can KNOW" after praying this with your all your heart, be sensitive to what happens the next couple of days, although if i had to guess, it will be put in your spirit to go on etiminDOTorg to do research and find out more about your Creator, and just how much he desires a deep personal relationship with YOU!
I love these videos! God bless you and yours as you spead God's Word throughout the world!! Just like the early Christians!!
Please do videos in Spanish ❤
"God writes straight through crooked lines" — despite all the tragedy and persecution early Christians faced, God did not let it stop the Gospel from reaching the ends of the earth. Rather, He even used the scattering of the disciples to spread the Good news all around the world, and to reach us up to this day!
Same with the apostle Paul: He used Paul's life to demonstrate His power to bring about a 360° transformation/conversion even in someone with a terrible, bloody, and hateful past like Paul (Saul).
God's sovereignty is awesome!
I have learned so much on this channel. GOD BELSS YOU ALL! ❤
