“ Unique Historical Perspective ” Contrasts the plight of the Protestant Reformers with the revisionist history of the other side. Extremely interesting!
“ Water/land walking evidence... ” This sermon makes a point (at time index 11:40) I've never thought about before -- there is just as much evidence of Jesus walking on water as there is of him walking on land!
“ Essence of gospel truth ” This sermon emphasizes the finished work of Christ, something that gets lost sometimes in the modern world. This is the true good news that mankind does not have to save ourselves.
“ Great Sermon! ” I personally attended a Benny Hinn crusade here in Chicago, Illinois, in the summer 2004. I went with a former American Lutheran Church (Traditionalist Lutheran) young man that I personally lead to the LORD JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE SECOND-BIRTH of ST. JOHN CHAPTER 3. When the time came to pray publicly; I got up and prayed with all the VEHEMENT strength that I had (as I figured that the "Pentecostal" Brethren are more "Generous" or "Liberal" in THAT FORM OF EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP). ALBEIT, I WAS TOLD BY AN USHER TO SIT DOWN; AS, HE SAID, I WAS TAKING THE ATTENTION AWAY THAT SHOULD RIGHTFULLY BE GIVEN TO THE SPEAKER (BENNY HINN). I told him; SHOULDN'T ALL THE ATTENTION BE GIVEN TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; AND HE/HIM ALONE BE GIVEN ALL THE GLORLY IN WORSHIP--ESPECIALLY DURING AND IN PRAYER ? I WAS STILL SILENCED; THAT BENNY HINN SHOULD GET ALL THE GLORY. I SUPPOSE THAT BENNY HINN HIMSELF WANTS TO "DROWN" IN ALL THAT "GLORY"; AND THEN CLAIMS TO GIVE "ALL" THE "GLORY" AND "CREDIT" TO THE "HOLY SPIRIT": CONTRARY TO THE AUTHORIZED HOLY BIBLE. That, to me, is a SEAL that BENNY HINN IS INDEED A FALSE PROPHET, GLORY HOUND, CHARLATAN, DECEIVER, PAPIST, AND "PUSSY-FOOTING PUSHER OF THE "POPE" OF ROME: THAT HISTORIC ANTI-CHRIST OF ANTI-CHRISTS IN THE SATANIC VATICAN THAT HINN SO HONORS !
“ Great Sermon! ” Excellent comparison both historically and spiritually of two religions. Two religions that were created by men and their lofty ideals.
Neither of these religions obey the holy scriptures. Neither of these religious beliefs follow and love the Lord Jesus Christ.
So very sad for all of those people! However, a magnificent challenge for putting into practice our faith in Christ!
We are told to love our enemy and with God for us who can stand against us?
Onward Christian soldiers!
“ What An Introduction! ” What an introduction and overview of The New Testament!!!
You are to be heartily commended in putting so much detail and study into this course!
“ Great Sermon! ” Great sermon
well researched, presented and preached by the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is a must to be listened to by all who claim salvation by faith in Christ alone.
“ Great Sermon! ” This is an excellent exposure of the hypocrisy of false religion. Whatever the controversy Rev. Brown has faithfully declared the truth - whether the rise of sodomy or the hysteric actions of Islam. I thank God for his ministry and pray that His continued blessing would be upon it.
“ Historical Accuracy ” How much longer will the truth go out like this? This survey of both Muslim and Roman Catholic history is accurate and informative.
“ Brave Work ” This good Pastor while Standing for the Truth continues to bravely place himself as a Target before this Satanic World. He needs the serious prayers of God's Children. Another great Work by this Man of God.
“ Perceptive Sermon! ” Catholic clergy were in grave fear that Muslims would plunder the many riches and lands of the church, much of which had, itself, been plundered in the name of God over the prior centuries. Most importantly, priests told crusaders that 1) They were fighting for God, and 2) If they were killed in battle they would be guaranteed Heaven, as they were soldiers of their Maker.
Since the Catholic [Universal] church was founded by Emperor Constantine in 324 A.D. it could not possibly speak for all Christianity, already founded and early on, Scripturally based. Muslims associate crusades & killing = Christianity, which would actually be directly against Christ's teachings, were all Christians to be judged by the vast brutality historically documented and recorded from the crusader's era.
The vast chasm between Catholic and Christian is based upon Scriptural and Traditional interpretations but the Muslim cannot differentiate. Shia and Sunni, Muslim and Druze; Americans also, cannot tell the difference!
“ Most Encouraging Sermon! ” Pastor Brown looks at the signboard nailed to the cross from different aspects.
One aspect though,was a great encouragemnet to me.
That is,God used that sign to awaken the soul of one who read it...the dying thief who was later that day to be found with Christ in paradise.
Pastor Brown put it like this...it became a gospel tract to him !
What an encouragement to myself who displays the Word of God on a placard and goes amongst the perishing lost !
Thankyou Lord for that encouragement from this sermon...may others be encouraged too,to the glory of thy name.
“ A Biblical view... ” This is a good, Biblical, balanced look at prayer and fasting. In America, fasting has become a favorite of quack health experts in recent years. This message will help restore the Biblical view that's becoming lost. There is a lot packed into this short message, so it may require several listens...
I have a flier that I've made and discussed with a few JWs. I've uploaded it to http://bearfruit.followers.net/Skeptics.Kingdom_Hall.index
I've tried to make it as non-conforntational as possible and I've ordered the questions from easy to hard. If you get a witness that listens and considers the questions you'll start a very interesting discussion. By the way, this isn't exactly a hand-out, it's more of a discussion starter. Questions 4, 5 and 7 seem to be the most interesting for discussion.
The last meeting I had the men I talked to said that JWs are characterized by their love. I'm curious, then, how they respond to "apostates" and if they consider that a good example of love.
I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions for the flier. My contact info is on the website.
P.S. I always run into semantic issues when talking to JWs. I'd expecially love for a way to re-word question 8.
“ Be careful... ” I am going to listen to this sermon and it will propably help me to understand your comments. I DO believe that Hinn is a false prophet and that his teachings are wrong.
But most of the commentators are careful not to get trapped with false doctrine. Though I think you are right with Hinn, please be careful how you talk about him. We should speak the truth in love.
Be careful! With doctrine and with the way you defend your doctrine.
"I'm sure that I would surely fall away, except for grace by which I'm saved" (Keith Green)
“ Man of sorrows,what a name ! ” I have just finished listening to this sermon,and it has been one of the most humbling srmons to the pride of man that i have listened to.
Pastor Brown obviously does a lot of research into the subject at hand,and not only does he bring before the listener all aspects about the crown of thorns,but also the scourging, verbal mocking,beatings,etc.that the Lord endured prior to being crucified.
Pastor Brown also brings out the way Christ is still crowned with thorns today,not literally,but symbolically in the way he is treated by sinners.
Thankyou again bro Brown for preaching on these truths.Blessed Saviour !
“ Oh what the Saviour went though! ” Pastor Brown brings out the spiritual significance of the hyssop at Calvary from different viewpoints,all are weighty and thought provoking.
For me,personally,it reminded me again of the intense bodily sufferings that my Saviour went through,what a humbling of the heart again as we are told of the dislocation of the bones as the cross is raised upright,of the difficulty in breathing,of the thirst of the Lord ,and being offered vinegar ,etc.
This series on the artifacts associated with the cross brings home all that the Saviour has done in laying down His life for the sheep.
