This has some great evidence for Luke’s gospel being true.
I certainly don’t agree with Denver Cheddie everything, his views on hell I believe are, while interesting, incongruent with the biblical view (though, I may be wrong), but I agree with him here.
I’ve posted the original video before. Wow, there’s so many things God does that we don’t know about!
I believe this is true, I can’t prove that it is, but with all of the evidence I’ve seen for demon possession and the spiritual gifts and all of this stuff, it’d be stupid of me to not believe.
There are only two things that I disagree with Paul Washer on in this entire sermon and it’s minor semantics, so this is absolutely NOT theology breaking stuff. Firstly, he says that in a trolley problem between saving your wife or your offspring, you should prioritize your wife. I, personally, would say it depends on the age of everyone involved, but I’d likely prioritize the children because that’s the future generation (again, I said I disagreed with him, not that I’m objectively correct; the trolley problem has been debated for centuries, neither me, nor Paul, has the right answer). Secondly, he says that our generation puts an incredible emphasis on our mental health and what feels good that would make the apostles, forgive the ironic expression, roll in their graves and I agree with that. However, he frames it as if all these people should simply just stop feeling this way. I believe this applies to SOME people, and some people need more stuff to deal with dumped on them so that they can just get used to it, but others simply need a SLOW detox from mental health care and have things SLOWLY introduced so that they can ease back into a life similar to how the apostles lived. Everything else in the sermon was wonderful.
This is a great teaching! Every time Pastor Washer tells the story of him canceling his flight to make sure the man who had a short time left to live fully understood the gospel, I start tearing up at the end.
I believe that these guys make the right points for baptism not being salvific, however, they also seem to contradict their own points sometimes. For example, the point they take from Acts 16:29-34 is that Paul, Silas, and the jailer do other things before baptism as opposed to scrambling to get the jailer baptized immediately, which is a great point and I agree, but later they say that baptism is urgent and should be prioritized. I think that they technically meant that somewhere between the two extremes is the truth, which I would agree with, but they never clarified, and I feel like if you’re in a Bible teaching position where every single syllable you say can be ripped apart or misinterpreted, that is quite important.
I agree with everything said here.
This is, unfortunately, what a lot of people in this generation struggle with.
