I've been so busy the last few days that I haven't set aside any time for prayer at all.
Today someone exclaimed "Jesus!" in frustration.
Without thinking I made the sign of the Cross and said "Blessed be the name of the Lord"
The person apologized.
I said "don't apologize to me. You just reminded me to pray and praise the name of the Lord."
Ive been thinking about that exchange since. Here I was so caught up in my own affairs that I neglected prayer, and someone who wasn't even trying to pray reminded me to do so.
Isn't it beautiful how the Lord can call us back to Himself in the most unexpected moments.
St. Paul explicitly says, Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel (Romans 9:6), and that the children of the promise, not merely the flesh, are counted as God's children (9:8).
He then says unbelieving branches were broken off because of unbelief (11:20) and can be grafted back in if they cease in unbelief (11:23).
God's promises are irrevocable. That doesn't mean unbelieving national or ethnic Israel inherits them apart from Christ.
And why should anyone take your interpretation as authoritative? You're a self appointed teacher declaring your assertions “plain sense” while ignoring St. Paul's actual message
Hey everyone,
I know I've been super quiet no videos or streams last few weeks. Just been very busy. Also working on early stages of some bigger projects, that I any be able to pull off for next year.
That being said hopefully will have an interesting video coming out end of this week/early next.
Just watched @Acts17David vs @JayDyer debate
I think Jay won pretty decisively and made the far more compelling case, showing the validity and scriptural basis of icon veneration. I do wish Jay would have gone further into the necessity of it and the justification for the Nicea II anathemas, and where that lands us today.
Pray for our Holy Father
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
To my Jewish friends and family: have a blessed Yom Kippur, and remember that the rabbinic yom kippur has no capacity to absolve you of sin, and even the temple yom Kippur ended 2000 years ago, even while it was still standing. More importantly, know that your Lord Jesus Christ is waiting for you to be grafted back in.
I'm currently reading through the Koren edition of the tanakh for Isaiah..it is such a ridiculously distorted translation, obviously trying to alter the language beyond recognition.
And it's not only for Isaiah . There's other parts as well, not even messiah related ones. It's such a bad translation of the bible, in fact, that instead of "Koren" tanakh they should call it the Quran edition.
Hey everyone, I don’t ask for this very often, but if you've gotten something valuable from my channel and appreciate my work, please consider supporting at:

Running this channel takes a lot more than you might think, both time and mental energy, but is of course my honor to be able to do.
Well said
Been thinking a lot about this. If I do not agree with someone I try not to immediately believe that person is:
1. stupid
2. a grifter
3. dishonest
4. immoral
They might be, but I have also noticed that many people who agree with me have those characteristics.
I'm sure I have failed in this regard, so if you catch me acting differently, please tell me.
