Justice isn't about payback—it's about redemption.Romans 12:19 reminds us to leave vengeance to God, but that's easier said than done. When we're wronged, the desire for immediate justice can be overwhelming. Yet, God's discipline is rooted in mercy, shaping us for our good.In this podcast, Angie and Susie explore how surrendering control and trusting His process can transform our pain into purpose. Join us as we dive into what it truly means to let go and let God work.Romans 12:19 (NIV)Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/https://www.logos.com/https://enduringword.com/https://www.wordhippo.com/https://www.biblegateway.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/Gottlob Schrenk, “Ἐκδικέω, Ἔκδικος, Ἐκδίκησις,” ed.

"Three Views on the Rapture: Pretribulation, Prewrath, or Posttribulation" is a thought-provoking book (Counterpoints series) that delves into one of the most debated topics among Christians: the timing of the rapture. Authored by leading scholars, Douglas J. Moo, Alan Hultberg, and Craig A. Blaising, this book presents three distinct perspectives on when the rapture will occur in relation to the events of the end times.1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NLT) And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the discussion, explaining the significance of the rapture within eschatological theology and the diverse interpretations surrounding it. It highlights the importance of understanding the biblical passages related to the rapture and the need for respectful dialogue among believers who hold different views.Pre-TribThe pretribulation rapture view, presented by Craig A. Blaising, holds that believers will be taken up to heaven before the period of intense tribulation mentioned in the book of Revelation. This perspective asserts that the rapture is an event separate from the second coming of Christ, and that it will occur prior to the onset of the prophesied tribulation.Proponents of the pretribulation rapture view argue that this interpretation aligns with the New Testament's emphasis on the imminent return of Christ and the hope and comfort it provides to believers. They point to passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, where Paul describes how the Lord will descend from heaven, and believers who are alive will be caught up to meet Him in the air. This catching away of believers, or the rapture, is seen as a moment of joyful reunion with Christ and the resurrection of deceased believers.Advocates of this view emphasize that the tribulation period, often associated with intense turmoil and divine judgment, is distinct from the church's experience. They argue that the purpose of the tribulation is to bring judgment upon the unbelieving world and to fulfill God's purposes for Israel, rather than to purify or refine the church. Therefore, believers are viewed as being spared from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9), taken away to be with Christ in heaven before the tribulation unfolds on earth.In support of the pretribulation rapture, proponents also draw from the early church's historical understanding of the rapture. They highlight writings from church fathers such as Ephraem the Syrian, who expressed belief in a two-stage return of Christ, with the first stage being a secret coming to rapture believers.Critics of the pretribulation rapture view raise various objections. Some argue that the concept of a pretribulation rapture is a relatively recent theological development and not widely accepted throughout church history. Others contend that the Bible does not explicitly support a two-stage return of Christ, as would be required by a pretribulation rapture, and that the passages cited can be interpreted differently.Despite these disagreements, the pretribulation...

Open description for time stamps. Welcome to my Passion Project! Where real scholars test the wild claims of Brian Simmons about his new Bible, The Passion Translation, so that YOU can know what's really going on with this suddenly popular new Bible version. Today's video features Dr. Douglas Moo and his thoughts after reviewing the book of Romans. Dr. Moo has invested much of his scholarly life on the book of Romans and I am so excited to have such an expert weigh in on The Passion Translation. There's a link below to where I will put ALL the reviews and papers as they are published. You should see a total of 5 uploaded by mid-January. After that I will need to wait a while for more scholars to finish their papers and do interviews. I hope to have it all done in the next few months. What's was my goal with this? I want the people of Christ to know the truth about this "translation" so that they can love what God has said without Brian Simmons altering it in unjustified ways. However, in the course of researching for this project I've uncovered some other very concerning things about Brian Simmons' teachings including false prophecy and various extreme claims regarding his own spiritual experiences. I'll be sharing some of this in future videos as well since I have realized that he is not just styling himself as a Bible translator but as an inspired Bible interpreter who is going to release a last days transformation in the people of God so that "everything that can be said about Jesus can be said about you". Yeah, it's weird. Stay tuned to my channel for more info on this in the coming weeks. LINK to all interviews AND papers as they are uploaded. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/the-passion-translation If you are interested in Dr. Moo's books and commentary they can be found here. He's a brilliant and highly accomplished scholar and has a lot of interesting insights, especially on the letters of Paul. https://www.amazon.com/Douglas-J.-Moo/e/B000AQ6VXE%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share My website https://BibleThinker.org *These time stamps will begin working after the premiere has aired. 0:00 Brian Simmons says God "increased the capacity" of his brain. 0:26 Brian says God gave him secrets of Hebrew and Greek. 1:03 What is "My Passion Project" 1:16 What today's video is about. 2:46 Brian says God gave him extra special help from an angel to do the book of Romans. 3:25 Who is Dr. Douglas Moo and why did he review Romans in TPT? 5:13 What positive things does Dr. Moo have to say about TPT's rendering of Romans? 6:34 How TPT has a "confusing translation philosophy". 9:39 TPT adds stuff to the Bible. Examples given. 12:12 Brian Simmons presents himself as a spiritual guru. 13:34 Shocking claims in TPT commercial from Sid Roth's show. 14:29 The suspicious nature of a one-man translation. 16:00 Brian Simmons' wild claims about inspiration from God. 17:44 A CENTRAL issue showing TPT can't be trusted; "the Aramaic." 20:10 Brain is making stuff up and pretending it is "scholarship". 23:51 Simmons uses "false appeal to etymology" in TPT (a lot). 25:55 Testing one of Brian Simmons "secrets of Hebrew", Homonyms. 29:56 Brian Simmons claims he is a linguist but makes basic linguistic errors. 30:44 Example of "questionable interpretations" in Romans in TPT. 32:38 Footnotes in the TPT that Brian claims are from God are sometimes "frankly nonsense." 35:33 Does TPT look like it was reviewed by scholars as most translations are. 38:23 Dr. Moo views "translation" and "paraphrase" differently than others I have interviewed. 39:34 TPT says that it "reclaims lost Aramaic texts," what does Dr. Moo think about that? 41:20 The TPT web site claims it is "an excellent translation you can use as your primary text to seriously study God's word," Dr. Moo responds. 41:59 Dr. Moo responds to the Bill Johnson quote. 43:27 Is TPT misleading people in it's promotional material? 44:51 What would Dr. Moo say to someone who loves TPT? 45:43 Did God grow Bria
TITLE: LET LOVE BE GENUINE TEXT: ROMANS 12:9-16 MAIN IDEA: God wants us to LOVE each other GENUINELY because we’re FAMILY THE PERSON WHO PRACTICES GENUINE LOVE… LIVES A LIFE OF AFFECTION, RESPECT, & SERVICE “The temptation to “lose steam” in our lifelong responsibility to reverence God in every aspect of our lives, to become lazy and complacent in our pursuit of what is “good, well and pleasing o God, and perfect,” is a natural one— but it must be strenuously resisted.” Douglas J. Moo LIVES A LIFE OF HOPE, PATIENCE, & PRAYER His promise to: 1. Finish his work in us 2. Make all things new 3. Bring us into full fellowship i. With Him ii. With the Saints LIVES A LIFE OF BLESSING, EMPATHY, & HUMILITY Acts 2:44-45 all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 1 John 3:17-18 if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. Rich Pérez, Mi Casa Uptown: Learning To Love Again “We should show hospitality to one another, as sisters and brothers in the faith community. God calls us to share with one another generously and welcome other people into our lives. Hospitality deepens christian community… When God is thinking of hospitality, the first person he has in mind is not our friend or people with who we are familiar. He’s think of the stranger, the person with whom we are not familiar. …it’s about loving strangers… in the same way we love siblings” [Luke 6 & Matthew 5 can be on one slide] Luke 6:27-28 Love your enemies, do what is good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Matthew 5:44 love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you Anthony J. Carter, Black & Reformed: Seeing God’s Sovereignty in the African American Christian Experience “…on the day of Pentecost [Acts 2], we are given a glimpse of the diversity that the Spirit of God came to unite. Those gathered at pentecost were from a cross section of peoples, each having a unique language and cultural identity. …this text reveals an undeniable diversity and intention of God to build a church of various cultural and racial backgrounds” Romans 5:6-8 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
The chapter on Colossians in A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the New Testament: The Gospel Realized is helpful for understanding the structure of the book. Listeners that want to do some real digging into the theological, history, and literary form of Colossians should consult Douglas J. Moo’s volume in the PNTC series. Two shorter commentaries worth consulting are N. T. Wright’s volume in the TNTC series, and Michael Bird’s in NCCS. As always, check out the Bible Project video on Colossians: https://youtu.be/pXTXlDxQsvc
