Why are studies of Old Testament books important? As Alistair explains, it's because they point forward to a Savior. All of Scripture is telling the story of Jesus. Hear more from this study of 1 and 2 Samuel at

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. The Old Testament points at the coming Messiah and the New Testament is Messiah has come and is coming again to take away His bride -the Church, before the great tribulation.

@OurSavior_Jesus Even in Job Christ's second coming is expected as He is in Revelation. Jesus Himself said the Old Testament is about Him.

Praise God.

That was an excellent study of 1 and 2 Samuel.

That was the most inspired study! I started following on YouTube during the pandemic and could hardly wait until each following Sunday! So rich. Thank you for your time spent studying the Word and explaining to us.

It's way more than that The New Testament interprets the Old Testament.. How can you fully understand the interpretation if you don't know what's being interpreted.

The old testament was a lesson but we live by the New Testament. Love, Hope and Faith.

“There are seven passages—SEVEN passages that have been used to say homosexuality is a sin. How many verses are there in the Bible? And for SEVEN PASSAGES to be made such a huge frickin deal…If homosexuality was such a big deal with God and Jesus, Jesus would’ve said a lot more about it.” The Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of God. 2 Timothy tells us ALL Scripture is God-breathed. No passage is expendable. All of it essential, truthful, and of God. Also, homosexuality being sinful isn’t some archaic thing of the Old Testament. Again, the Old Testament is part of God’s inerrant, infallible word as well, but also in Matthew 19, Jesus explicitly reaffirmed marriage as the union of one man and one woman by appealing to God’s design in creation. Think of all the things Jesus said and did that God didn’t see for to include in Scripture. If it’s there, it’s essential and inerrant. This is a core doctrine of Christianity.

📢"Nobody wants to hear there was no placebo." Have you seen "An Inconvenient Study" yet? Del Bigtree: "We're at a point now where the questions are being asked, and they are totally screwed. They're screwed because they don't have the answer anyone wants to hear. Nobody wants to hear there was no placebo. We can't have a placebo because we have vaccines that have already been approved, but they were approved without a placebo. And I'm telling you, it's scary, it's daunting. It's why this film is so important. This is an excerpt from the film that gets into exactly this, this bait and switch of, "We can't do a placebo trial because we already have a product available."

Today’s #manuscriptmonday is the Crosby-Schøyen Codex which contains a letter of Melito of Sardis, a Christian author in the 2nd century. Melito wrote out a list of Old Testament books he considered scripture that aligns quite closely with the Protestant Old Testament. Melito’s list from around 170 AD included all Old Testament books except possibly Esther, whereas the standard Protestant Old Testament contains thirty-nine books. Since Melito excluded Esther, his collection would have contained approximately thirty-eight books—only one fewer than the Protestant canon. Along with the lack of Esther Melito inverted the order of Numbers and Leviticus compared to traditional Jewish arrangement, suggesting he may have reorganized material based on his own theological priorities. Despite these variations, Melito’s fundamental agreement with the Protestant canon on which books belong to Scripture demonstrates remarkable early Christian consensus. A Jerusalem list from the same period (c. 170) included all thirty-nine Old Testament books, suggesting that by the late 2nd century, the core content of the Protestant Old Testament was already widely recognized as authoritative, even if questions about Esther and organizational schemes remained unsettled.

Very based "We as Christians we call ourselves spiritual semites. Semite was another term used for the the the Jewish people because uh God chose uh the Jewish nation" "It is the vocation of the Jewish people to present the savior to the world." "We share the scriptures with with the the Jewish people...the Jewish faith is contained in those books of the Old Testament and that's part of our heritage and essential part of our heritage is the Old Testament fulfilled in in our Lord Jesus Christ"

Wesley Huff’s course: The Historical Reliability of the Bible, is available now. In this course, Wes Huff guides us through the historical foundations of Scripture. Together, we examine the evidence for the Bible's reliability from the formation of the biblical canon to the textual history of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the archaeological discoveries that illuminate the biblical world. Along the way, Huff explains how the early church recognized the New Testament canon, traces the history of English Bible translation, and concludes by evaluating historical Jesus studies, showing how the cumulative historical evidence supports the Gospels as reliable eyewitness accounts of Jesus.

Love when the Green Pill and Orthobros get a chance to interact Karak lol "Jesus was born of the descent of Abraham as a Jew, lived as a Jew and was circumcised...that is the beginning of the fulfillment of the right of circumcision" Jesus had to be a Jew in order to fulfill the prophecies of conquering the Nations in the name of the God of Israel bro... Also why this gay “fulfillment” mental gymnastics? Oh I know why, you can't completely ditch the OT as stupid, primitive and tribal because Christians claim the entire Bible is God’s Word So they invented the fulfillment framework instead: The Old Testament laws were never wrong - they were shadows, types, and preparations. - Circumcision → fulfilled in baptism (spiritual circumcision of the heart). - Animal sacrifices → fulfilled in Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice. - Food laws → fulfilled in Jesus declaring all foods clean (Mark 7) or Peter’s vision. - The whole sacrificial/temple system → fulfilled in Jesus as the true Temple and High Priest. Lets keep the Old Testament as holy scripture while quietly ditching 80-90% of its actual commandments "So Jesus had to be a Jew to fulfill the promises to Abraham that this would extend beyond the Jews to the Gentiles so that they could be included into the covenant." "So that's what it means to be a quote servant to the circumcision" "Jesus came as a Jew to fulfill all the promises in the Old Testament to Abraham and his seed, That's the Jews." And then once Dyer figures out he's dealing with an Adam Green fan he immediately goes into TAG mode🤣 "OK, on what basis is it wrong to follow Jesus if you're agnostic?" "So that's just demonically possessed weirdos is that's all they have" "That was an Adam Green Pagan LARPer"

DERIVING PROFIT FROM SCRIPTURE The accuracy of the Bible is not in the archeological flawlessness of its writings nor the personality of the authors, but in its ability to deliver God's intent as far as the revelation of God, Jesus, man, and salvation are concerned. The profiting of Scripture is only derived under the influence of The Spirit of Revelation, which guides your heart to the essence of every story, verse, and expression, captured within Scripture. As open as The Bible is, there are seals. You can only open the book, but only The Spirit of Revelation unlocks the seals, opening you up to mysteries. What profits you is not the verse of the Scripture, it is the light in the Scripture. The focus of your Bible study should center on the love of God, captured in the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ for man (being the object), and the mercy plan of salvation.

I spoke last weekend at a worldwide devotional for young adults about the remarkable service and example President Dallin H. Oaks has provided as an Apostle of Jesus Christ for more than four decades. The most important thing an Apostle does is testify of our Savior. For 41 years, President Dallin H. Oaks has shared his testimony as a special witness of the name of Jesus Christ. I give you my solemn and humble witness that President Oaks is the Lord’s prophet upon the earth. He knows the voice of the Savior. He will guide us in truth and point us toward the Lord Jesus Christ. President Oaks’ lifetime of testifying of the divinity of Jesus Christ inspires me to do the same. I, too, testify that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. It is through Him and His holy atonement that death and sin are conquered.

“What was even more important to Charlie than politics and service was the choice he made in the fifth grade — to become a Christian and a follower of *his* savior, Jesus Christ.” Why doesn’t Donald Trump recognize Christ as our savior?

My 1970 vintage edition of the Book of Mormon is precious to me. By its appearance it is tired and worn, but no other book is as important to my life and my testimony as this one. Because of this special book, I gained a witness by the Spirit that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He is my Savior, that the scriptures are the word of God, and that the gospel is restored.

“The church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Sir Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity… Newton did not create gravity but recognized it” - J.I Packer (As cited in Kenneth J. Collins and Jerry L. Walls, Roman but not Catholic: what remains at stake 500 years after the Reformation (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2017), 21). By the time the church was having discussions of canon lists and what books did or didn’t possess the mark of inspiration. The books of inspired scripture had already been written, read, copied, passed around, and disseminated for some time. Paul is already being recognized as scripture within the 1st century by Peter in 2 Pet. 3:16, and Paul himself is quoting Luke as scriptural alongside Deuteronomy in 1 Timothy 5. And let’s not forget that the Christians in the first century had a Bible: we call it the Old Testament. When Paul says “all scripture is God breathed” in 2 Timothy, no one is confused about what Paul means when he uses the term “scripture.” Just because books existed as independent documents in the form of physical scrolls and books separate from one another prior to the fourth century with them being codified all in one single unit then, doesn’t mean that they weren’t the Bible prior to that point. We need to be careful not to read back an anachronistic perspective due to our modern privilege of being able to easily have all the biblical books in a single-bound-volume. This is largely due to the amazing and streamlined process of publishing today.
