Journey Through the Bible - Genesis 3 Man fails the Test
In this video we continue our journey through the Bible with Genesis chapter 3. In chapter 3 we are introduced to the serpent and we see the end of innocence and the original sin.
Did you ever want to know why God allows bad stuff to happen? The answer is right here in this chapter.
00:00 Intro
00:50 Shifting Focus
06:55 Sowing the Seeds of Doubt
19:23 The First Sin
29:45 God is Coming
33:54 Excusing Sin
38:15 Curse of the Serpent
41:43 Curse of the Woman
47:22 Curse of Man and the Earth

Here is the video I mentioned 1:11:00 Neil deGrasse Tyson on God https://youtu.be/I0nXG02tpDw
Another Video of Neil deGrasse Tyson making the argument that bad things happening is evidence of the absence of God. https://youtu.be/3sApQ80QRiE
Let me be clear I am not picking on Dr. Tyson here but I believe he is missing the point that it is not God but Sin which causes the woes of the world. He gives the example of earthquake hitting Lisbon in 1755 on all saints day. Whether it is nature or man in the case of multiple church shootings they are not proofs of the absence of God but of the presence of sin and the curse. He talks about Gallieo saying he doesn't see the Bible pointing to a heliocentric solar system but the Bible never claims it is not. The Bible uses terms like rising and setting just like we do today.

51:48 Closing
Clarification
In Genesis 4 verse 25 "she" is the correct pronoun.
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
I read this wrong while recording but thought I had typed something wrong on the slide. What this verse is saying is that Eve had a son and her son Seth would take the place of Abel. Sorry for any confusion this caused.

How to Interpret the Bible - How to Study the Bible Part 4
Welcome to a Emmaus road productions.
Today study we’re going to take a look at part 4 on how to study the bible.
2 Timothy 2:15 Commands us 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In today’s world it is not politically correct to believe in absolute truths. Today, I hear phrases like “my truth”, “your truth”, etc. Though this is not a popular opinion there is a such thing as absolute truth. 2+2=4, 1 cup is = 8 oz. If you are baking a cake following a recipe if you don’t follow the recipe you are going to end up with a bad cake. If your truth is gluten is bad and you substitute corn meal for flour, or you add extra butter, eggs etc.
This episode will also answer the question of if there are multiple interpretations of the same scripture. Many Christians look at the Bible today like a piece of art and ignore many of the rules for rightly interpreting scripture.
In part 1 I talked about worldviews if you want more detail.
The recipe for life is the Word of God. Many of the problems in this world are where we have tried to make the cake of life without the recipe or we substituted different ingredients.
This will allow you to skip to parts
0:00 intro
3:45 Interpretation of the Bible is not Subjective
7:17 7 rules of interpretation overview
8:36 Rule 1 Pray before you study
16:15 Rule 2 Always take scripture in context
31:27 Rule 3 Compare Scripture with Scripture
40:27 Rule 4 Don't study with pre-conceived ideas
42:38 Rule 5 Get the literal meaning first and then look for the spiritual application
51:05 Rule 6 Have an understanding of Dispensations
54:37 6a Dispensation of Innocence
56:21 6b Dispensation of Conscience
57:29 6c Dispensation of Human Government
58:21 6d Dispensation of Promise
59:05 6e Dispensation of the LAW
1:00:33 6f Dispensation of Grace

What is Your World View? - How to Study the Bible Part 1
This is the 1st part of a much larger study on how to study the Bible. This may seem like a weird place to start and may even seem off topic but before you can study the Bible you have to be willing to accept it's message. It is ok to be skeptical but if you are starting from a place that the Bible is wrong or it is myth then you won't get much out of our Bible study.
I hope this video will not turn you away from studying the Bible but will help you understand the general Christian Worldview.

Part 10 The Rapture of All Born-Again Believers will take place before The Tribulation
This past weekend at the stop the steal protest at the Supreme Court some speakers claimed that we are in the Tribulation and the Tribulation is here. In this episode I talk about why I don't think we are in the Time Of Jacobs trouble yet. 2020 has been bad but it is not the wrath of God upon us.
This was one of my longest videos to date see time stamps below so you can skip to the major parts
00:00 Introduction
02:07 Competing views of Pre-millennial Rapture timing
18:57 Reason 1 The Tribulation Concerns Israel not the Church
39:03 Reason 2 There is no Biblical Evidence for the Church Being on the Earth during the tribulation
51:02 When the Church is alluded to they are seen in Heaven
57:50 Reason 3 The Church is Promised and Exemption from God's Wrath
Welcome to another Emmaus road productions video.
In this video series we are explaining the theological concept of the Rapture. This video series is inspired by a series my pastor is currently conducting and I have adapted it to video format. If you search for the rapture, tribulation, endtimes on the internet you will find a lot of various opinions and thoughts. In this series we will be looking at a lot of scripture and everything will be based first and foremost on scripture which is our ultimate authority. We encourage you to search the scriptures and verify for yourself everything we teach here at Emmaus Road Productions. If you have questions please feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
In Part 9 I discussed that the rapture was an early church doctrine that was rediscovered and we looked at a lot of history because among those that out right deny the rapture base their arguments on History and NOT Scripture. Among Church people there are two major camps. Last episode was addressing the arguments those make that deny the rapture exists at all. There Is another group of believers that DO believe in a rapture but they disagree on the timing of the rapture in the context of end-time events. In Today’s episode I am going to talk about why we believe that the Rapture is going to occur for all born again believers before the Tribulation begins.

In Part 8 I discussed the imminence of the rapture and even the apostles writings indicate that they were looking for the rapture at any time. Today there are many Christians that doubt the validity of the rapture because for 1500+ years the doctrine of the rapture was lost. For the first 200 years the early church fathers believed in the rapture and it was lost and rediscovered in the 1830’s. Many of the Christians and Churches that today do so by saying that the rapture is a new doctrine and base their arguments on history and tradition not Scripture. In this episode we will discuss how this doctrine was lost and take a look at some example of other doctrines that were lost and re-discovered.

ELECTION CHAOS A Christian Response to the World Falling Apart Part 3
Today is Friday November 6th, 2020 and the US Election happened 3 days ago. In my lifetime this is unprecedented. Even in 2000 we had a winner announced and all the drama in Florida was a recount. But this is 2020!! It has been a nearly 2 months since I uploaded part 2. And I started working on a series called journey through the bible. I put that on pause to focus on another study about the truths of the Rapture and if I am honest I have spent / wasted too much time watching all this election mess. In the US we are continuing to see riots, division, political turmoil, COVID-19 is still with us in full force. I believe that we are witnessing the end of America and we are quickly approaching the time of the rapture of the church and subsequent tribulation. There are many people who may believe we are in the tribulation. Lord willing next week I will begin laying out the case why we are not in the tribulation and why Christians should be looking for the rapture. This video is my opinion speculating on the future based on what I see in the news but it is an educated opinion of what I have learned in 30 years learning and studying the Bible. I am not attempting to change anyone’s opinion. The intended audience for this video is anyone who is looking around and wondering what is going on and what does this all mean. Again this is my educated opinion and should not be taken as gospel. I do not claim any special revelation from God I am simply interpreting the scriptures as written.
Donald Trump / Republicans are not the Messiah
In full disclosure I voted for Trump. Jesus is our Salvation and if you are a Christian He is your King and your patriotism belongs to Him not Biden or Trump. Most likely in the next few days Joe Biden will be announced the winner. Donald Trump will fight the election results over the next weeks and may or may not win any of those legal battles. I do not believe Donald Trump is fighting on any grounds of moral superiority or devout patriotism. Trump first and foremost has always been a businessman and winning or losing the election is a matter of pride and branding.
Joe Biden / Kamala Harris / Democrats are NOT the Anti-Christ. The Tribulation is not about the Church and America. The Tribulation is about the reconciling of Israel to God and God’s wrath poured out on a world that hates HIM.
As Christians we are to serve God. We are not called to fight with violence that is the way of the flesh. We are to love those that hate us and despitefully use us
The biggest influence you have is not at the ballot box it is loving and prying for those in your life.
God is still in Control and God allows leaders to rise and fall.
Democracy is not always right see 1 Samuel 8
Israel Turned from God and wanted a King. Likewise as a people we have turned from God. Like Samuel some of us made our plea and that plea was rejected.
The problems in the world are too big for you and fighting against them is as useless as fighting a hurricane. It is in God’s hands now. Our role is to hold fast to our faith.
I believe dark days are ahead but if you have put your trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior then whatever trials we endure will be worth it in the end.

What do Christians Mean When They Talk about Salvation and Baptism
In this video I attempt to explain the Christian Doctrine of Salvation from a Biblical perspective. If you came here not knowing Christ as your Lord and Savior I hope you will leave this video either saved or at the least looking for more information. If you are a Christian I hope this video will help give you confidence to witness to others and/or help you to understand the Doctrine of Salvation a little better.
I also covered Baptism a lot in this because Baptism and Salvation are linked. In some denominations they baptize everyone potentially giving people the false impression that they are save and some denominations teach that if you don't get baptized you were never saved.

A Christian Response to the World Falling Apart part 2 The End of America
Uploaded on my YouTube Channel on 9/3/2020
Uncle Sam went to visit his doctor and found out today he has cancer.
That is where we are at today. I recorded this 9-3-2020. Based on what I am seeing if I was the Dr. in the above scenario I would say Uncle Sam will be dead in 6 months to a year. I could be wrong. No Man knows the day or the hour when Christ will return but like a terminal cancer patient barring a medical miracle they will soon die.
Watch with me as I go through the reason why I believe the end of America and the world as we know it may be soon.

A Christian Response to the World Falling Apart part 1
This video was uploaded to my youtube channel on July 30th 2020
It was not my intent at this stage to get into commentary on current events. I hope I do not get in trouble with YouTube for posting this video, I don't think any of the content violates the YouTube terms of service and community guidelines; but with so many voices of hate and anger out there I want to take a breath and look at what is going on in our world from a Biblical perspective. Like you I have my thoughts and opinions on the current headlines. With the Lord ‘s help I am going to try to explain in this video what is going on and how the body of Christ should be responding.
We are halfway through 2020. 2020 started off like any other year but beginning in late February to mid March the world was shook with a pandemic of COVID-19 and we were all told to stay in our homes. Church services, funerals, weddings, and all large gatherings have been banned in the name of public safety to stop the spread of the pandemic. Phases like social distancing, the new normal , flattening the curve have become part of our daily lexicon. Businesses have been destroyed, unemployment is a record highs. The on memorial day George Floyd was killed when a police officer put his knee on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. This kicked off a wave protests, rioting and looting across the US and the world. Out of this movement mobs are intimidating people on social media and taking over communities. There is now another police shooting in Atlanta where Rayshard Brooks was killed following an incident with the police and that officer is now facing felony murder charges. Mobs are roaming the streets tearing down statues COVID is spiking through the country, cities are being taken over by protesters and clashes with law enforcement are commonplace and Millions are living in fear.
This was originally going to be just one video but there is so much going on that one video would be too long.
I will be using a lot of scripture reading from the King James Version. If you have a Bible you may want to follow along because the text might be hard for you to read on screen. I know that it may seem boring to listen to me read a bunch of scripture but I believe the bible should be taken literally and in context. You can take the Bible or any document for that matter and cherry pick parts to make any point you want but many times people who do this are taking scripture out of context. I may be the tool that God is using to post this video but I have endeavored to take myself and my opinions out of this so that I am hopefully a conduit of God’s Word.
I am Nobody. I am just a Christian. I am not a Pastor. I have a regular job and don't work for any church or religious organization. I implore all the Mega Pastors and Religious Leaders now is the time for you to take a stand. You guys have platforms and reach beyond You Tube. We may not be able to meet in person but God has blessed us with technology to still spread his word.
