    There is neither male nor female in Christ. Anoint is the Greek verb chrio (from which we derive Christos = Christ = the Anointed One) occurs 4 other times in Scripture and all refer to Christ (Lk 4:18, Acts 4:27, Acts 10:38, Heb 1:9) The related noun chrisma describes the anointing with the Holy Spirit ALL believers receive when they receive Christ (1Cor 12:13) When we are told there is neither male or female in Christ, we find that there is a limit to this statement. That is "in Christ", that is because both would be anointed with the same Holy Spirit. The breath of God or the Holy Spirit is one of the same. Once we obey Deut. 6:8-9 God has us put on His Word. The Word He spoke to the nation of Israel who was to be spread. Israel failed to do so and instead honored the law of their elders making God's law void, much like the Christians do today. That spoken Word came from the mouth of God, later to write His Word with His own finger, then later that Word became flesh, we know Him as Jesus. Jesus, God's law hung the cross, Jesus is also the Law written on the heart. Jesus sent preachers out to preach about Him so others would come to believe. But somewhere we dropped the baton so others could be baptized in The Word instead of just the water. That Holy Spirit didn't land on those baptized in water, as it is still today. Being baptized in the Holy Spirit is just the beginning of our Armour. As we learn from the law, then prophets, and N.T. we find ourselves anointed to even the feet with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. It is time we go learn from God how to be a Christian that we can spread the whole Gospel to those who grow to love God. May we all become one 'In Christ'.

    I am a Christian mother of a 24 year old son who just told me he has been struggling with gender dysphoria since he/she was in second grade. She only recently figured out why she was so uncomfortable with her male body. As she shared with me she broke down crying and I held her with acceptance and the love that I know our heavenly Father has for her despite this gender struggle. Father I pray that the church gains a better understanding and more compassion regarding this very challenging issue.🙏🙏 My son felt tormented for many years and is still suffering despite coming out to me.😢

And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE, AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY. John 6:29. Jesus, answered, and said unto them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YE BELIEVE ON THE ONE HE HAS SENT. First John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Second Corinthians 9:13. Thanks be to God for His UNSPEAKABLE GIFT, ETERNAL LIFE. John 10:28-29. No one can pluck us from His hand. Hebrews 13:5. He will never leave us or forsake us, He will never cast us out. John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. Romans 3:26-28. John 3:16. See all you WHOSOEVERS in heaven. John 3:18.

    I too appreciate having heard this talk. I will listen at least another 2xs so I get more understanding of what all was said. The video was shared to me from my very close friend whom I love, I believe that my friend is IN Christ. My friend was born male but CHOOSES to live as female. He shared with me a short version of his life story after our meeting 20+ yrs ago. I met him when he was early in his transition to female. I will admit though that I have never appreciated his choice (or anyone else's) to exchange the Gender God gave him, for the other. I have compassion for everyone that is delt a difficult burden to carry in life. But after everything I recall hearing Dr. Yarhouse say about Gender Dysphoria it added to my opinion that it is a 'condition'. I believe a person would honor God best by 'fighting' the condition, not giving in to it. I would compare it to that of Addiction, which the Medical Establishments now determine it as a 'condition' not a 'choice'. Certainly, no Christian would believe we are to embrace or give in to Alcoholism, Drug use, Eating Disorders or Sexual Addiction! I love my friend and am glad he is happy in his life. But I believe what is going on in our Society is bigger and more dangerous than many are letting themselves realize. Dr. Yarhouse put no 'caution' on what is happening to CHILDREN at an alarming rate! Instead, I took him to be encouraging 'youth' who may be dealing with Gender issues to 'go with it'. I think he was irresponsible in this. I wish he would have encouraged young people to seek GOD with counseling and suggest slow playing any final decision about their Gender. Even when addressing an adult struggling with this 'issue', it would seem to me to be more Christ-like to help them resist becoming someone as un-natural as a man in a womans body or a woman in a mans body, which is not the Gender HE created them in. I have condensed much for the sake of less lengthy comment. I do have love in my heart towards ALL. Shalom <3

    The Bible is actually an incredible Testament to the work of the holy spirit, both in the church as a whole and in the formation of the canon. The simple fact is that there was no early document or council that canonized the current new and old testament books and no others. This means that the perfectly consistent 66 books we have today came to be known as the Bible purely by Christians reading them and deciding under the guidance of the spirit if they were authoritative. If you look at it from a historical perspective the work of the spirit was right on time, refining and solidifying the current list right up until printing was invented. Of course there will always be evil intentioned men who try to pollute the scriptures but the fact that hardly anyone has actually read the apocryphal books and 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold proves which the spirit backs and that no one can kill the true word of God.

    • @TruthHasSpoken
      @TruthHasSpoken Год назад

      "The Bible is actually an incredible Testament *to the work of the holy spirit,* both in the church as a whole and in the formation of the canon". Agree. Which is why Michael Kruger works so hard to develop an alternative theory as to how it came to be. Interestingly, in citing the development of the canon he repeatedly cites Catholics, including Catholic Bishops. Yet, he never compares their theological beliefs to his. If the Catholic Church was led by the Holy Spirit on the canon, then Dr Kruger fears the implications of his theology repeatedly being in error. "The simple fact is that there was no early document or council that canonized the current new and old testament books and no others." History says otherwise. This includes the Council of Rome in 382, decreeing that the Old Testament has 46 writings. The synods of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397) would say the same, while saying the New Testament had exactly 27 .. the same as in your bible. Note, Sola Scriptura fails right at the table of contents. To know what was scripture and not, the Church decided, not until the late 4th c. _“The order of the Old Testament begins here: Genesis, one book; Exodus, one book; Leviticus, one book; Numbers, one book; Deuteronomy, one book; Joshua [Son of] Nave, one book; Judges, one book; Ruth, one book; Kings, four books [ie., 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings]; Paralipomenon [Chronicles], two books; Psalms, one book; Solomon, three books: Proverbs, one book; Ecclesiastes, one book; Canticle of Canticles, one book; likewise Wisdom, one book; Ecclesiasticus [Sirach], one book. Likewise the order of the Prophets. Isaias one book, Jeremias one book,…lamentations, Ezechiel one book, Daniel one book, Osee … Nahum … Habacuc … Sophonias … Aggeus … Zacharias … Malachias … Likewise the order of the historical [books]: Job, one book; Tobit, one book; Esdras, two books [Ezra and Nehemiah]; Esther, one book; Judith, one book; Maccabees, two books.”_ Council of Rome, Decree of Pope Damasus (A.D. 382). "the perfectly consistent 66 books we have today came to be known as the Bible purely by Christians reading them and deciding under the guidance of the spirit" No. All of Christendom held to 73 books until the 16th c (the Orthodox actually having a few more) when a fallible Catholic Priest named Luther, who had no authority, and certainly no Holy Spirit guiding him, said 7 Old Testament books were not scripture because he disagreed with the theology in one of them. "If you look at it from a historical perspective the work of the spirit was right on time" Agree ... that one tacitly trusts in the authority of the late 4th C Catholic Church to have decided the New Testament was 27 books, but believes that very same Church errored on the Old Testament, shows inconsistence. The Spirit is NOT inconsistent. Christ PROMISED that he would send it to lead His Church to ALL TRUTH (Jn 16:13). Not some truth. "Of course there will always be evil intentioned men who try to pollute the scriptures" Father Luther took away from scripture (Rev 22:19 warning). Interesting too, even the Original King James Bible of 1611 had all these 7 books in it. "but the fact that hardly anyone has actually read the apocryphal books" Rather, the Deuterocanonicals. Which are scripture to 1.35 Billion Catholics 260 Million Orthodox Over 1.6 Billion Christians ... far more than all of protestantism combined.

      @TruthHasSpoken What I meant by "purely by Christians reading them and deciding under the guidance of the spirit" was that the Bible had not yet been perfectly refined even up until the invention of the printing press. Most of it was canonized very early but that is how the spirit works, He sets you on the right track and slowly teaches you what you were not able to hear in the beginning, correcting what you misheard. No matter how well intentioned a Christian may be they're not going to get it perfectly right on the first try and that's not God's intent as he wants us to constantly commune with and rely on Him to guide us. The reason we have not added further to the Bible as time has gone on (or subtracted) is because the spirit testifies that it is perfect. Of course, no amount of honest critical analysis can find any errors or lack in its revelation, but this alone is no safeguard of such a book that so many would love to destroy. The central thesis of the Bible is this 'Jesus Christ is Lord', and it is His spirit that established and guards it, nothing else.

      @@christianknickerbocker604 "No matter how well intentioned a Christian may be they're not going to get it perfectly right on the first try" Rather, Christ made repeated promises related to His Church. Christ is the head of his Church. (Col 1: 18) Christ''s Church is the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3: 15) Christ's Church is the bulwark of truth. (1 Tim 3: 15) Christ's Church is where the manifold wisdom of God is made known. (Eph 3: 10) *Christ PROMISED to lead it to ALL Truth.* (Jn 16: 13) Christ PROMISED that he would NEVER leave it. (Mt 28: 20) Christ PROMISED that the gates of hell would not prevail (it will not teach doctrinal error) ; (Mt 16: 18) So if one trusts Jesus Christ - his Church can not error on doctrine. He won't let it. His Church won't have to change what is false and make it true. It's true right from the beginning. When 4th c Catholic Bishops meeting in Synods and Councils said the Bible was not only 27 New Testament writings but also 46 Old Testament writings, one can trust that they got it right. And when 16th c Catholic men come along, `~1100 years later, with no authority, especially a fallible Catholic priest named Luther, and said that 7 books are not inspired, one can reject this .... subtracting from scripture which Revelation warns about.

      @TruthHasSpoken To be honest I think it is a mistake to rely on any human power to define the one and only divine book that is the Bible. Frankly the history of said book is long enough that humans are going to believe whatever they want to believe about it and dismiss any evidence to the contrary as unreliable, so if the Bible is to be the one and only divine word of God it must be by the testimony of the holy spirit. How is this testimony obtained? It is exactly the same as the salvation of souls, no one can be saved by the eloquence or piety of human servants but rather the spirit must testify to their hearts that Jesus Christ is lord and he died for their sins and rose again. In the same way the spirit had to place a divine seal upon each text in order for it to become an authoritative divine command. In this sense it does not matter exactly to whom or when the scriptures were certified, but rather that they were certified by the spirit and still are today.

      @@christianknickerbocker604 " To be honest I think it is a mistake to rely on any human power to define the one and only divine book that is the Bible" God works his agency through his Church. And from his Church comes many writings, over 300 early Christian writings. Only his Church decided which of these were New Testament scripture. And the same Church, in light of Jesus Christ decided which Old Testament writings were scripture. "humans are going to believe whatever they want to believe about it" This happens when one decapitates the bible from the Church (and hence faith) from which it came. "so if the Bible is to be the one and only divine word of God it must be by the testimony of the holy spirit" Not testimony. Rather, the Holy Spirit led His Church to know what was true and false, scripture included. Christ promised just that. _When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into ALL the truth_ (Jn 16:13) " no one can be saved by the eloquence or piety of human servants" One is saved ... - 100% by God's Grace, an unmerited gift - Through faith (a response of the intellect and will) - A faith working in love, made complete by love (Ja 2:22)
