Descripción

In this video, I explain why “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name, but a title meaning “anointed one” or Messiah. Using a simple and memorable example from The Princess Bride, I break down the meaning of the word Christ, its connection to the Hebrew idea of Messiah, and why Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Christ. I also touch on how the concept of anointing appears in Scripture, how others in biblical history were also “anointed” for God’s purposes, and why Yeshua is uniquely the ultimate Messiah. If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus Christ really means, this short teaching is for you.

Are Mormons Christians? A Biblical Case for Humility and Mercy

In this video, I respond to the recent controversy over the Department of Defense leaving the LDS Church off its list of Christian denominations. I explain why I believe members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should be recognized as Christians in the broad sense of believing in Jesus as the Messiah, His sinless life, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection. I also make the case that too many believers approach doctrine with pride instead of humility. Drawing from passages like 1 John 5:11–12 and Matthew 7:1–2, this message is a reminder that none of us sees perfectly, and that judgment belongs to God. Even where we strongly disagree on doctrine, we should be careful not to condemn those who confess the Son. This is a call to study deeply, walk humbly, and extend the same mercy we hope to receive.

Genesis 6 Explained: A Biblical Interpretation You’ve Probably Never Heard

The longer and more comprehensive version is available here https://open.spotify.com/episode/5LgxoPddzLrCQ8B4AeKRLI?si=1XMZca14SteNfvXOfF93Ag [https://open.spotify.com/episode/5LgxoPddzLrCQ8B4AeKRLI?si=1XMZca14SteNfvXOfF93Ag] What is Genesis 6 really about? In this video, we explore an alternative biblical interpretation of one of the most debated passages in Scripture. Rather than focusing on the popular supernatural explanation, this teaching looks at Genesis 6 through the broader biblical theme of God’s relationship with mankind, salvation, and human responsibility. You’ll discover how this perspective connects Genesis 6 to the overall purpose of the Bible: revealing what God wants from us, how He sent His Son to save mankind, and how we should respond. If you’ve never heard Genesis 6 explained this way before, this study may give you a fresh and thought-provoking understanding of the text. Watch for a deeper discussion on creation, the fall of mankind, the lineage of Seth, and how Genesis 6 may fit into the larger story of Scripture. interpretation, biblical interpretation, Bible study, Genesis 6 sons of God, Genesis 6 Nephilim, alternative understanding of Genesis 6, Christian teaching, Scripture study, Bible explanation, theology, salvation, God and mankind, purpose of the Bible, biblical truth, creation and the fall, lineage of Seth, Yahweh, Yeshua, Christian YouTube, Bible teaching, Genesis study, controversial Bible passages, understanding Genesis 6

Michael Heiser Didn’t Mean to Start a Cult | Halo Effect, Divine Council & The Unseen Realm

Did Michael Heiser [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QM7anD5vSI] accidentally inspire cult-like behavior around his work? This video explores how readers of The Unseen Realm [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QM7anD5vSI] can ignore an author’s own words, especially around the divine council and the controversial idea of a Hebrew pantheon. It also explains the halo effect—why people overtrust voices they admire—and why clear thinking matters in theology, scholarship, and everyday life.Michael Heiser, Michael S.

The Overlooked Miracle in Acts 2: A Contrite Heart

In Acts 2, most people focus on the miracle of languages and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But there is another miracle in this chapter that is often missed: when Peter confronts the crowd with their guilt in the death of Messiah, they do not deny it—they ask, “What shall we do?” This message explores the power of conviction, repentance, and a contrite heart, and why humility before God is essential for entering His kingdom through Yeshua the Messiah. A sober and encouraging reflection on sin, repentance, grace, and the mercy of God.
