American Christian: Recent Episodes
Jonathan Kiewiet
This channel is first and foremost about the Gospel of God. The intention is to address biblical topics and other issues facing life today from biblical lenses. The intention is meant to build up believers and spread the message of God to as wide an audience as I can. In a nut shell, Gospel, theology, gospel, apologetic issues, gospel, exegesis, and the gospel.
This episode is the closing of a refutation of TrinityExamined.com's article on John 1:1. Having been challenged to address the mentioned article, I review more of the argumentation and it's flaw's, contradiction's, and some outright false and deceptive statement's. This video is meant to be for the building up of the Body (eg. the Church as a whole) and not as an attack against the Author, but against the heretical theological position. To Darrell, this is not meant to be taken as a personal attack, but if you do watch this, hear me out, don't assume malice, as I do sincerely hope that you come to know the true God and Christ of the Bible.

Is Jesus God by nature? Or is Jesus a ontologically separate God from the Father? Even a Created God?
I was sent an article from the website www.TrinityExamined.com by a gentleman names Darrell George (The article was Written by Darrel Goerge, not sent by him) written (I believe) in 2018. In this article He attempts to refute the idea that this verse points to the eternal preexistence of Jesus. I was challenged to respond, so I will make an attempt.

Starting with the heresy of Sabellianism that has already hit the Church, we come to a man named Arius who presented the position that Jesus was a created being. This sparks major discussion and splitting of the early church leading to the first ecumenical councils (325), even more questions and division, someone pooping themselves to death, and another ecumenical council.

No one in the early church ever believed in the Trinity or that Jesus was God! Wait a minute, are you sure? In this episode, I start by reading the Nicene Creed for those who are unfamiliar with it, then I read chapter 7 of the letter of Mathetes to Diognetus, a letter dating back to almost 200 year's before the council of Nicaea (AD325). Interesting stuff if you can get past my reading skills.

Romans 13 says to obey your governing authorities, and COVID is something we should have proper concern for. However, ought we exercise discernment when dealing with a crisis, or trust our fallible governing authorities to uphold God's standards through time's of difficulties with no questioning whatsoever? Then a little ranting on minor difference's between the KJV and Newer translation's along side an entry level description of how the manuscript tradition of the scriptures not only function, but make an amazing testimony to there reliability.

This is not meant to be an attack, and the last thing I want to do is draw an assumption. This video will cover end times, the need for context, and why Christians shouldn't fear the end times (especially that COVID-19 has anything to do with it).

Predestination has been a controversial aspect of the Christian doctrine. Most Christians today have either never thought about the question, or reject it on grounds less then adequate. the Question to ask is, what does scripture say. I'm talking solid Exegesis, not Eisegesis.

In this episode, we come to the third PERSON, yes PERSON of the trinity (That being the Holy Spirit). We address lightly the subject of his deity, and focus more on the subject of His person, being this is the aspect that is (or seems to be to me) more the key issue when dealing with this part of the doctrine.

In the next segment on the doctrine of the trinity, we look at the second person, Jesus (the Son), and see what is spoken of him in the Old Testament, and what John 1:18 mean's in light of all scripture being God Breathed and authentic to what God want's to communicate.

In this episode, we are tackling the portion of the doctrine of the trinity pertaining to the second person, the Son (Jesus). Examining the Gospel of John, it is absolutely undeniable that the Gospel intends to exclaim the deity of the second person, Our Lord and Our God (as Thomas proclaim's) Jesus the Christ.

In the next segment on the doctrine of the trinity is the first person, that is the Father. Though it is not a highly disputed point amongst Theist’s, but being on the subject, it has been decided to address this point.

The Doctrine of the Trinity is often misunderstood and confused with such heresies as modalism. In this episode, which I hope to be the first of many on the subject, we give a definition where we define 3 essential points that are absolutely fundamental to the doctrine of the Trinity.we look at the Bible to see the Oneness of God, and traits that inevitably must apply when dealing with the subject.

There are many differing opinions as to who Jesus was. Islam presents him as a prophet of Allah. Jehovah’s Witnesses claim he is Micheal the Arch angle. People will often try and twist Jesus into fitting what they want to believe. Many will even agree that the bible clearly states Jesus is God, but if Jesus never says, ‘’I am God, Worship Me.” Then it doesn’t matter. Here, I attempt to show the reality that Jesus himself does indeed tell us in many different ways (via his miracles, his applying Old Testament truths of God alone to himself, and not only saying “I Am God” but takes on the covenant name of the Jewish God, Yahweh.)

We start by looking at the story of Jacobto show how God’s sovereignty applies to even the giving of our life. Then we look to see how science and the bible agree on what is in the womb, and what that means about its right to life.

Matthew 27:52-53 give an account following the resurrection of Christ that has become unsettling, and even a little unnerving to us in modern days. Is it literal, or is it symbolic? Do we have the original screenplay of ‘Night of the living dead’, or are some failing to exegete, and inserting an outside understanding of the text in order to dismiss it?

A quick look at Luke 9:23-27 to start the year on a solid foundation. Indeed, the Kingdom of God is a big deal to the Christian, but what does it mean for the individual? When is this Kingdom to arrive? Has it, maybe, already come right under our noses?
