Love how Mr. Shabi unapologetically speaks the truth in love. We need more of that in the Church of God today!

I've been watching this channel for the last few months. I learned a lot.

Yes, I've Been deceived because the church that I used to attend doesn't the sabbath or gods holy days. Instead, they celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter. After years of not being spiritually feed and preached a false Christianity, that's when I decided to leave. In 2023, I began counseling services with the United Church of God. On 02/25/24, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal savior, cofessed my sins, then I was baptized and received the gift if the holy spirit by laying on of the hands. I am happy to say that now I am an official member of the United Church of God. It's when you find the truth that is when you begin to reap its benefits.

I attend the true Church, i am a keeper of all God's Commandments and live by the testimonies of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We teach the Bible which is the word of God. John 17:17

TO ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED COMMENTS:

Well, I guess one thing we can all agree on is: this topic is not “dull or uninteresting”.

When anybody brings up a doctrinal position, it certainly sparks a lot of enthusiasm, back-and-forth and for the most part respectful exchange of views.

But I also tell you it could be a little bit time-consuming, causing introspection, which is a good thing while consuming a lot of personal energy.

On balance I’m very happy that Mr. Shabi’s “certainly provocative” video has resulted in some dialogue between people who hold different views about what true Christianity is!

I’m not at all upset. I feel energized that modern Christianity maybe turning a corner and I think it’s a corner leading into a positive direction about clarifying what is real Christianity and what it is by a Scripturally-sound standard for defining it.

I think a better place to start is what it was understood to be originally instead of what it is understood to be now; but then again others disagree.

I’m hoping other people jump into the conversation because I certainly don’t have a lot of time to respond to every question or contribute further so to all of you whether we’ve agreed or disagreed it’s 830 East Coast time on Sunday and I am pretty much talked out and other people pick up the dialogue without me because I don’t think I’ll be having enough time to do this much engaging in religious and theological dialogue as the weekday starts.

Stay safe and have a productive week!

Richard 😊

If you are a Christian you are in the church. The Kingdom of God is not in observation, the Kingdom of God is within you.

[AlickHatakwi]

Thank you sir and I request that you also answer the question that you have asked at last concerning if someone goes to hell or heaven after death

The church of Christ is that one true church, with A Cappella singing. (ROMANS 16:16; EPHESIANS 5:19; COLOSSIANS 3:16)

[davidsmith]

(I posted the verses below) Paul says don't let anyone judge you regarding the keeping of the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16-17) so no, I do not receive the "Church of God" condemnations about those who meet on Sunday!
Col 2:16  So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,  
Col 2:17  which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

[kennyg-oh]

I agree with what you said about Paul following the sabbath and the holy days as
that is documented in the Bible. Now please show me scripture (after Jesus was resurrected and ascended into heaven) of any apostle or any other leader in the early church requesting or collecting tithes, like your organization does.

A true church is one that is not institutionalized and preaches the Biblical Gospel.

[AlecParrish]

Thank you sir for divine truth! Blessings!

[indrapersad]

Always a powerful message from Mr Shabi. TRINIDAD

[danielmdifranco]

Yes the Sabbath and feasts should be kept, but Jesus said the world would know his disciples by the love they have one for another. The Pharisees kept those things and Jesus said they were sons of their father the devil.

[viviansdoey]

i WAS RAISED IN YOUR 'CHURCH' BUT THE MINISTER IN MY AREA HAS 'NEVER' WELCOMED ME .. AND WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS HE NEVER ONCE ANSWERED ME OR SAT WITH ME TO SHOW ME PROOF OF WHAT HIS ANSWER WAS... NOT ONCE.

[rckrMX]

Does your church teaches that our only true God is the Father and also He is the God of Jesus?
John 17:3, 20:17
Ephesians 1:3, 1:7.

[Over-for-now]

In Romans 16:25 Paul says to be established by his gospel given to him by Jesus himself.
IT was a MYSTERY not known since the world began
