"Didn’t Jesus leave His divinity, how come He never sin? "I feel that life as a Christian would be easier if I could see Jesus, why the Bible states “blessed are those who have not seen me?”" "Was Jesus still omnipresent while doing his ministry on this earth" "When the Bible says Jesus was begotten by God, does this mean he was created?" "No one questions Christs divinity but the new testament uses God for the Father of Jesus and Lord for the Son of the Majesty and Jesus sits to his right yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live 1 Cor 8:6" Date: October 14, 2019 Tags: #psdatv #jatc #Jesus #equal #recongize #recognition #disciples #Matthew #Peter #Thomas #Father #GodTheFather #GodTheSon For more information on Plantation SDA Church, please visit us at http://www.plantationsda.tv.

The Bible Unmasked Season 1 Episode 28: Proverbs 15 - Ecclesiastes 4
by Cassandra Pierre, Gervon Marsh | July 11, 2021Subscribe for more Videos: http://www.youtube.com/c/PlantationSDAChurchTV In episode 28 of the Bible Unmasked, Pastor Gervon Marsh and Cassandra Pierre discuss Proverbs 15 to Ecclesiastes 4. Both Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are books of wisdom. Date: July 11, 2021 Questions in this episode Who was Asaph? Can we substitute music for prayer in our worship services and Christian lives? Can you please provide the historical context in which the book of Proverbs was written? Who wrote it? Does it only have one author? The book of Proverbs seems to provide advice. How should we interpret these biblical proverbs? Are they mere advice that we may choose to follow or commands that are tied to our salvation? Salomon seems to be addressing his son specifically in this passage and others. Is he really addressing his son, or it just a writing style? If he’s only addressing his son, does the passage apply to all of us? Chapter 7 speaks against adultery but puts the blame on women only. Why? Aren’t both the man and woman sinners and equally responsible in an adulterous relationship?
