Life In Christ - HIS Way or Ours? - Romans Part 12 - David Bercot

[ismaelamadot]

Good morning, brother David Bercot. It's very refreshing and gratifying, hearing God's Word read and explained early in the morning. Welcome back and do not leave us, nor tire out. Jehovah God and Christ are using you and others like Eric Wilson (Mileti Vivlon), David &Vivian Aspinall, Michael Pfelker, among others, to nourish us spiritually. Stay safe and healthy. You are loved and very much appreciated. My hello to your dear wife and son. God bless. Amador, Kingdom Christian from sunny Puerto Rico.

I really enjoyed and appreciated this message, thanks brother David.

I have been immensely blessed by Mr. Bercot's insight into and clarification of God's word. Hearing the viewpoint of early Christians has added to my understanding. Thank you so much. 😊

I know this I’m constantly talking with God like a beggar everyday all day.

Inside myself I want to obey everything Christ Jesus says. At the same time I have to deal with my flesh fighting against the spirit the whole way it seems. Although Christ Jesus has lead me out of some great darkness I used to live in, not dealing with near as much I used to, sometimes my mind can be so sound it kind of freaks me out lol. I’m constantly talking to God about wanting to know Him more and that Christ Jesus be manifest in my life. If I do something that might make my heart feel condemned I take it straight to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our English translations are mostly based on either the majority/byzantine text (KJV and NKJV) and the Alexandrian (most of the rest). It is notable that the overwhelming majority of manuscripts are of the majority text, with Alexandrian text based mostly on 2 manuscripts (Codex Vaticanus and codex Sinaiticus).

When is part 13? I'm dying to see it.

Can anyone provide the reference for the Chrysostom quote at 23:00? I've searched online and cannot find it. Perhaps it was paraphrased?

The Textus Receptus (Latin for received text) is a from the majority/byzantine text type. According to Sean McDowell (son of apologist Josh McDowell) there are currently 5, 856 extant handwritten Greek manuscripts, and another 18, 130 ancient translations of the New Testament in Armenian, Latin, Syriac, etc. The earliest fragment of the New Testament is called P52, a credit card size fragment of gospel of John in Egypt written around 130 Ad. It is very notable that a copy of the gospel of John was in Egypt just 50 or so years after John wrote it in Ephesus.

I believe that God choses to only save by grace those that have works of faithfulness because those that are unwilling to be faithful prove they do not really want it very bad. They would actually be miserable in heaven with God and the faithful. And so why should God give a gift to someone that does not really want the gift?

I got punched once for Jesus lol. The guy said, if you keep preaching this Jesus your going to be hurt!!!
