NEW- [links- verses below]
I had no plan on making this video- but as I showed up at
the park my homeless friends brought up the bible chapter [on their own] that I
read the night before [ Matt. 22].
So I figured we would talk a little.
You get to see some of my friends share their experiences.
We talked about how the religious leaders came to Jesus to
ask him some questions- yet they were simply trying to catch him in his words-
Matthew
22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in
his talk.
They were not sincere.
At the end of their questioning- he puts one to them-
Matthew
22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
They have no response- and finally go their way-
Matthew
22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that
day forth ask him any more questions.
I have actually taught this chapter before- and in all of
the responses that Jesus gives- we see the great wisdom of God-
Matthew
22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Matthew 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Matthew 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Matthew 22:33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
The problem was seen in the question Jesus asked them
‘Christ- whose Son is he’?
The religious leaders did not have an answer- at least not
the correct one.
It was because of this- the fact that they did not know who
Christ was- that they also did not understand the other things he taught them.
Jesus told us we would know the Truth- and he Truth would
set us free-
And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
Jesus is the Truth-
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
All the other things they thought they knew- the questions that they put to him-
those were simply facts that they challenged him with.
They were indeed questions that came from the bible [Old Testament]
- but they were not sincere seekers of truth.
They simply were gatherers of information- to use against Jesus-
He rebuked them for not knowing the truth- or the power of
God-
Matthew
22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures,
nor the power of God.
Yes- Jesus is the Truth- the power and demonstration of God.
So it was fitting for him to challenge them with this
question-
To ask them ‘who is Christ- whose Son is he’?
Because when they get that right- then they ‘get it all’
right.
LINKS- PAST TEACHING I DID-
At the park Claire shared the dream she had- I told her I
already spoke about it on previous posts- below are those posts-
Talked about the tattoo as well-
Talked about Wesley- below are some past teachings I did on
him-
ROMANS 8-10
VIDEO- [I cover stuff on the
videos that are not in the post- here are a few]
.Council of Trent- what did the
Church say?
.Do we get the final say- at the
Judgment?
.What are the Catholic virtues-
did Paul teach them?
.Augustine, Calvin, Whitfield and
Wesley.
.Infusion or Imputation? How bout
both!
At the bottom I added some quotes
from the Catechism of the Catholic church- to show that the official teaching
of the church DOES NOT TEACH SALVATION BY THE LAW- BUT BY CHRIST.
[parts]
In 1687 Isaac Newton published the bombshell book,
‘Mathematical principles of natural philosophy’ [Gravity].
It was a bombshell not only in the scientific sense- but for
those who were looking to expel Christianity from society.
In France you had the Encylopedists- people who advocated
for an atheistic world view.
In their minds- the Church was part of the ‘old world’ and
as man advances- he needs to realize that the church itself is a hindrance.
Now- Newton showed us that the world [cosmos] operates more
along the lines of a machine- with set principles- and not so much by ‘the
power of God’.
This is a classic mistake that many make- they look to the
natural laws of ‘nature’ and say ‘see- this explains everything’.
Actually- not.
But anyway- the French revolutionaries wanted change- and
change they got.
Near the end of the 18th century- emboldened by
the American Revolution- they stormed the Bastille- and it was the beginning of
the age of Progress.
The Bastille was a former fortress- that became an infamous
prison in France.
It was believed that many freedom lovers were held captive
there.
Actually- upon breaking in- there were only about 7
criminals held- but it still became the standard for Revolution.
King Louie tried to institute reforms- but they did not go
far enough.
Eventually Napoleon Bonaparte takes control- and he tried to
form an agreement with the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Priests and churches were attacked during the
time of the French Revolution- and the great Notre dame university had a lady
representing ‘reason’ on the altar.
The churches were turned into ‘houses of reason’ and girls
dancing in the streets represented a sign of Liberty for the French.
But the liberty they were talking about was not in the same
sense as the American Revolutionaries.
The French were being ‘liberated’ from Christianity- as well
as the oppression of the nobles and Priests.
So- the famous gift from the French to America [1886] the
Statue of Liberty- might have meant something a bit different than what we
understand today.
The statue itself was of the Roman goddess ‘Libertas’.
The church came thru a period where they showed how reason
and religion do not contradict one another.
Many of the great thinkers/philosophers were indeed
believers.
Yet some in Christianity felt there was a danger in too much
reliance on reason and rationality.
We refer to this as Pietism- Men like Philip Spener and
Count Zinzendorf played a role in helping believers return to a more spiritual
communion with God.
The famous Methodist founder- John Wesley- was effected by
the witness of the Moravian Christians on one of his journeys back and forth to
America.
Wesley and George Whitefield were coming to America and
spreading revival by their preaching- on one occasion John Wesley was on board
ship- the seas were rough- John feared for his life.
Yet he noticed the Moravian brothers had no fear.
He later asked them why they seemed to be fearless at the
possible point of death.
They told Wesley they had true assurance they were saved by
Christ-and there was no need for fear.
Later John Wesley had an experience at a meeting on
Aldersgate St. - they were reading from a Romans commentary- notes from Martin
Luther.
And the story goes Wesley felt his heart ‘strangely warmed’
and he saw this as a conversion experience.
Wesley never intended to start the Methodist Church [as his
movement later became known in the states] - he simply wanted to revive the
‘dead faith’ of his fellow Christians in the Anglican Church.
Yet eventually- thru men like Francis Asbury- the Movement
Wesley started would spread thru America and eventually become a separate
denomination.
PAST POSTS-
Alexander sought to implement the ideals of his teacher- he
wanted to unify the known world under one people/culture- a belief that
Aristotle held- a sort of ‘unified theory’ [Einstein] that would seek to bring
all learning/knowledge together under one supreme [Divine] principle.
Alexander’s experiment was called Hellenization- which was
the Greek worlds attempt to impose Greek culture/language on all their
conquered enemies- and at the same time allow them to hold on to the their own
culture too. Alexander did amazingly well at this experiment- at the young age
of around 24 he had accomplished most of his mission. The cities were a sort of
composite of Greek culture mixed in with their own culture- this is where we
get the modern term Cosmopolitan.
Alexander died young and his kingdom was divided between 4
generals- one of them- Ptolemy- would himself make it into the history books
because of his keen intellect.
The system of cosmology developed under him would last [and
work!] until some 17-18 hundred years later when it was overthrown by the
Copernican revolution during the time of Copernicus and Galileo.
Alexander’s generals would do their best to carry on the
system of Hellenization- and other nation’s generals would keep the system
going even after Greece fell. One of them- Octavian [Roman general] makes it
into the history books by another famous name- Julius Caesar.
Alexander established a great library in the Egyptian city
of Alexandria [named after him] and many of the great writings were preserved
during this time.
The writings of Aristotle would be discovered again during
the time of Thomas Aquinas [13th century Catholic genius/scholar]
and this would lead to Scholasticism [a peculiar school of thought
developed/revived under Aquinas] and give rise to the Renaissance.
Okay- before the birth of Christ- the Jewish people resisted
the imposing of Greek culture upon them- you had the very famous resistance
under the Jewish Maccabean revolt- where the Jews rose up and fought the wicked
ruler Antiochus Epiphanies- and till this day the Jewish people celebrate this
victory at Hanukah.
Eventually Rome would conquer the Greek kingdom and the
Jewish people were allowed to keep their culture and temple- yet they were
still a people oppressed. Hassidism [getting back to the beginning] developed
during this attempt to not lose their Jewish roots- the Pharisees of Jesus day
came from this movement.
Alexander was pretty successful in his attempt to unify
language- even though the bible [New Testament] was written by Jewish writers-
living under Roman rule- yet the original bible is written in the Greek
language.
Bible scholars till this day study the Greek language to
find the truest meaning of the actual words in the bible [I have a Greek
Lexicon sitting right in front of me].
It would take a few centuries before a Latin version
appeared on the scene [the great church father- Jerome- would produce the Latin
Vulgate].
Yet it would be the re- discovery and learning of the Greek
texts [under men like Erasmus- and the Protestant Reformers] that would lead to
the Reformation [16th century] and other movements in church history.
The
Jews had various responses to the empires that ruled over them during various
times.
Alexander the Great instituted
Hellenization- a sort of cultural compromise over the people he conquered.
They could keep their
religious/cultural roots- but would be subservient to Alexander and Greek rule.
Some Jewish people rejected any
compromise- we call them the Essenes- they moved out of town- so to speak, and
lived in what we refer to as the Qumran community.
This was a few centuries before
the time of Christ- and this was where the Dead Seas Scrolls were found in the
20th century.
A Bedouin boy was looking for his
goats- threw a rock in a cave right off the Dead Sea- and that’s how we found
the scrolls.
The scrolls might have been
hidden there by the Essenes-
Now- when my friends asked me
about them- I told them that it’s been a while since I read up on any of this-
but to the best of my memory the thing that made them significant was the fact
that they were very old manuscripts- from the bible- and they backed up what we
had had all along.
[parts]
NOTE 3- Augustine.
I personally am a fan of Saint Augustine. He is one of the
famous church fathers of the early centuries.
In my view he holds a distinct place- he is admired by both
staunch Protestants [Reformed Theologians]- and Catholics.
Why?
The original Protestant Reformation of the 16th
century had 3 key figures.
Martin Luther [Germany]- Ulrich Zwingli [Swiss] and John
Calvin [studied for the priesthood in Paris- later took a key role in Geneva
Switzerland].
One of the key beliefs- of at least 2 of these 3- was the
doctrine mentioned above- Predestination.
It is a common mistake in our day to see historical
documentaries [I have seen some] that refer to Calvin as someone who believed
in Predestination [true] and that Luther disagreed with him.
That’s wrong [but you have to study theology to find this
out- a brief reading of church history does not show you this- that’s why some
of the well meaning documentaries you might see on the History channel get this
wrong].
Okay- Martin Luther was a Catholic Monk- under an order
called the Augustinian order- named after St. Augustine.
See?
Even though he would break away from the church- and the
Lutheran church would form- yet he held to the original belief that the
founder/namesake of his order taught.
Now- you do indeed find many verses in the bible that speak
about God choosing us- and not us ‘choosing him’.
Or chapters [Romans 9] that say Gods choice of us has
nothing to do with our own goodness- but he chose us because he loved us.
So- this teaching does indeed have scriptural backing.
But- you also have scripture to back up the opposing view-
which is referred to as Arminianism.
Named after another church leader- Jacob Arminius.
He held to the Calvinist view at first- but as he began
studying- to defend this view- he came to the belief that this view [at least
among its more radical adherents] was wrong.
These 2 groups- Calvinists- Armenians- became enemies as the
Protestant Reformation grew.
The followers of men like John Wesley [founder of the
Methodist church] disagreed strongly with those who held to the Calvinist view.
In our day- you still have adherents of both views- seeing
the ‘other side’ as non Christian.
It’s sad- but this is just one- of thousands of teachings-
that have had this effect.
The Catholic leaders warned of this at the time of the
breakaway- which took place in the 16th century.
They feared that once you made a clean break from the
historic church- that the ‘breaking’ would never stop.
As you look at the scene over the past 500 years- it’s hard
to say they were wrong.
One last note- many modern Protestants do not hold
Augustine- or any of the men mentioned above- in high regard at all.
Some hold to a belief [another popular one in groups that
are Restorationist- as opposed to Reformist] that all of the early Christian
expressions got off course [apostatized] and that the only ‘true’ church- just
happens to be the group they are in.
Once again- this type of belief simply increases the
division in the church- in my view.
Many reject men like Augustine- because of his influence by
the Greek philosophers- they charge that some of the early church leaders were
too much into philosophy.
For instance- one of the first Christian schools ever
founded was in Alexandria- Egypt.
In the 2nd/3rd century Origen- an
early church father- would take over the school and teach Christian theology.
But- the school was basically a school that first taught
Greek philosophy.
Origen is respected by many [like me] but officially the
church does not recognize him as a legitimate Church farther.
Why?
Because he did indeed hold to some views that were not
Christian based- like the pre- existence of the soul.
This belief comes straight from Greek philosophy- not
Christianity.
He also believed in what we refer to as Universalism- that
at the end- everyone gets saved- even the Devil!
So- this debate has gone on for centuries- the debate over
how ‘Platonic’ so and so is- or did men like Thomas Aquinas [ 13th
century- another favorite of mine] simply mix Aristotelian thought [Aristotle]
in with Christian teaching- and thus water down the true faith.
This is also the reason many [most] Protestants do not teach
Philosophy- as a basic plank- in their seminaries.
I think this is a big mistake.
Philosophy- as a field- deals with the basic issues of life.
Why are we hear- what’s the purpose of mans existence- etc.
For the Protestant church to have basically abandoned this
field- this left the secular world to shape it as they wish.
But- the Catholic Church has indeed engaged in this field-
and in my view- has presented a better world view- than the secular
philosophers.
Okay- now this post is becoming an entire study!
That’s it for now- I have lots of posts like this on the
blog- if you want- just look them up there.

Reformation- here’s the complete study- https://ccoutreach87.wordpress.com/protestant-reformation-luther/ ]

[parts] (890)SAMUEL 7- The Ark arrives at
Abinadab's house in Kirjath Jearim, it will remain there until David retrieves
it [it was there for around 100 years in total-1100 BC- 1004 BC]. Samuel calls
the people to repentance and makes intercession for them at the same time. This
leads to great victory over the enemy. Jesus ‘lives forever to make continual
intercession for us’. We need to combine repentance and dependence upon
Christ’s mediation in order to gain victory. This chapter also has the famous
name ‘Ebenezer’ that makes it into the history of the church. Both songs and
churches will use it in their names. Martin Luther King preached at Ebenezer
Baptist church. This stone was simply a rock of remembrance for the victory of
God. It spoke of Gods help for man. Jesus is the ultimate ‘stone/rock of
defense’ for man. Scripture says ‘there is no rock like the Lord’ ‘Jesus is the
precious stone, all who believe will be delivered’. The imagery of Jesus/God as
a rock of defense is all throughout scripture. We see Samuel as the key leader
of Israel
and scripture says he judged them at this time. He lived in Ramah and ‘rode a
circuit’ between the various cities on a rotating basis. He was the first
‘circuit rider’! The circuit riders were the famous American evangelists during
the 19th century. As the Puritan east coast churches were becoming
well established in the original colonies, there was a need to reach out to the
West [and south] with the gospel. The circuit riders were the evangelists who
traveled to various areas preaching the gospel and establishing churches [The
great Methodist Frances Asbury became famous for his circuit riding and church
planting]. During this time you had the famous ‘camp meetings’ where many
believers from all over would gather at these outdoor ‘brush arbors’ and hear
the gospel preached and commit their lives to the Lord. Over time the more
staid Reformed churches of the east coast would view the ‘camp meeting’
brothers as a little ‘un hinged’. You would also have some of the ‘Spirit led’
groups condemn the old time reformed brothers as ‘unconverted’. There was a
tendency to lean towards one side or the other. The various Quaker [shaker]
type groups would emphasize the Spirit being premiere in all Christian
understanding. While this is of course true, this in no way means believers do
not learn thru the normal means of study and reading. Some of the more ‘Spirit
minded’ believers would come to view the more ‘head knowledge’ brothers as
‘unconverted’. One of the worst cases was the Ann Hutchison controversy. She
was a believer who began teaching under the ‘Spirits guidance’ and would give
the impression that the more refined ministers were not of God. She would
ultimately pay with her life for her beliefs.
NOTE- The terminology of ‘New lights’ versus ‘Old lights’ was often used
to describe the different emphasis between these 2 camps. There was a brother
by the name of Davenport
who would travel around and accuse all of the old time preachers as being
unconverted. While it is possible for a minister to have never truly made a
strong commitment to Christ, to paint them all with this broad brush was very
unbalanced.

(696) ACTS
5 – As the word spreads rapidly, all the surrounding towns bring the sick and
vexed to lie in the streets. Even the possibility of Peters shadow passing over
them for healing is hoped for. Notice the charismatic reality of this early
church. I do realize the many reasoning’s that intelligent people use to
explain the miracles as limited to the Apostolic period, but for the most part
we see a supernatural church in Acts as well as thru out the epistles and well
into the first few centuries of Christianity. The 20th century story
of Pentecostalism and the awakenings just prior, seem to show the reality of a
supernatural church existing alongside a theological one! There is much proof to
the orthodoxy and giftings of the church all thru out scripture and church
history. Peters shadow healed people, how can we explain this away? [p.s.
Phillip, who is not an Apostle, will also perform miracles. Just thru this in
for those who teach the Apostles were the only miracle workers!] Now, the
immediate response of the high priest and religious leaders was ‘if we don’t do
something about this, their movement will gain momentum’. They imprison Peter
and the Apostles. An angel appears and frees them and tells them ‘go back to
the temple and speak the words of this life’. When the authorities realize what
has happened they once again warn them about using Jesus name in their
ministry. They even say ‘do you intend to bring this mans blood upon us’. Basically
Peter says ‘yes’. Peter has been ‘putting it in their face’ ever since
Pentecost. He has blamed BOTH the nation of Israel and her leadership for the
death of Christ. He does not worry about offending them! During this time some
priests become believers. The majority of them do not. Why? What has happened
is common among movements. When an initial movement starts up, there is always
the question of ‘is it from God or not’? A few years back the church went thru
a renewal movement. Some referred to it as ‘the Toronto blessing’ ‘the laughing
revival’ and other names. You had those who were 100 % against it and those 100
% for it. Who was right? Well, to a degree both of them! The point is there
were some things that were needing rebuke, but to throw it all out was wrong.
The defenders appealed to Jonathan Edwards’s writings and how during the first
great awakening he experienced many of the same manifestations as the Toronto
movement. Edwards left quite a bit of room for God being present in the
religious emotions of the people. The critics were offended that the revival
guys were appealing to Edwards and they would appeal to other stuff Edwards
wrote in concern over the religious affections. You also had the same
manifestations a century later under the second great awakening. The revivals
in Kentucky had laughter and ‘strange barking’ and other weird stuff. The point
is you always have a response to a religious movement. Once the battle lines
are drawn, it is very hard to switch sides. In this chapter we see Gamaliel, a
very respected Pharisee, stand up for the Apostles and say ‘lets give them some
room, others before them rose up and gained a following, they all passed on. If
this work is of God you can’t stop it, if it’s of men it will fail’. There was
some breaking thru to the religious mind that was taking place in the elite
religious thinkers of the day. After all, Peter has been quoting Psalms and
Joel in ways that were confounding the religious thinkers. Don’t forget, Peter
is an uneducated fisherman. Jesus deposited some stuff in his men that was way
beyond the basic understanding of the day. Some ‘thinkers’ and intellectuals
were humble enough to listen, most were not!

church. The fact that they were doing this daily massive food distribution led
to an area of prejudice. The ‘Grecians’ [Greek speaking Jews] were being

VERSES-
Matthew
22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in
his talk.Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Matthew 22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
Matthew 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Matthew 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Matthew 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Matthew 22:24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Matthew 22:25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
Matthew 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
Matthew 22:27 And last of all the woman died also.
Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Matthew 22:33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Matthew 22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
21 Then came
Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus
saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy
times seven.
