Clothed in Christ (Paul Washer)

[12godslove]

I love this guy...really really he preaches the incorrupted word of God..Thank you Lord for this man of God

[Strefanasha]

i will not listen to this screaming fanatic.

[NWeightlifting]

Fuck Paul washer!

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

I can see clearly that Paul Washer is seeking God. It is my sincere hope that he comes into the fullness of the faith that Christ gave His People -- the One, Holy, Catholic Church. The full, deep, intimate communion with Christ for which he and others like him are searching is right here...especially in the Holy Eucharist.

God Bless

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Paul Washer has found God over 20 years ago? The Catholic Church is a works-based religion that says "Do this and that" and "If you sin, say this many 'Our Father's'" but if righteousness were through the Law, Christ died for NO reason (Galatians 2:21). But it's giving up and trusting God to forgive you by the blood of Christ.

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

@RonMaday Friend, Paul is talking about works of the law. There is a distinction in Scripture between works of the law and works of love, done for and in Christ. We must do good works--not so that we can successfully complete some sort of divine "checklist," but because that is how we prove our faith, hope, and trust in Christ, as well as love of God and neighbor.

Faith alone is not a Biblical concept, and it was totally foreign to Christian thought until the sixteenth century.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Friend, the works we produce is evidence of a saving faith alone in Christ alone. But if ANYONE tries to add works as an ends to salvation they are a heretic.

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

@RonMaday Heretic according to whom? Without a Magistarium, you have no authority to say such things. Furthermore, the Bible itself explicitly states that good works are necessary for our salvation, not just that works are evidence of faith. As I said, the idea that faith alone saves -- in whatever way you want to say it -- is totally alien to both the Bible and Christian belief until the time of Martin Luther.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Read Ephesians 2:1-8, Especially verse 8. It says we are saved by GRACE THROUGH FAITH THAT NO ONE may boast. Also, it says in Romans 3:23-27 that all have sinned and we saved by grace and in verse 27 "Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith."

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

Your argument seems to hinge on the assumption that God's grace and the necessity of good works are incompatible. I would recommend watching the 2-part Youtube video "A Message for Calvinists" by PapistWitness. He is a convert from Calvinism, and while his video is focused on the subject of predestination, he brings some good points to the table that I think could also apply to the grace and works issue.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Dear friend, I will also only point this out, God's grace is apart from works. If we try to "add" any form of work to salvation or even our Christian walk, if there be one, we are "fallen from Grace" meaning we are no longer relying on God in Christ and are sinning against Him, maybe even indicating that we are not saved. It is faith alone in Jesus alone by His grace alone. Submit to that by faith, trust in Christ alone by faith and He'll save anyone.

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

@RonMaday Yes, but grace does not make us automatons. God's grace EQUIPS us to do good works, and if we don't, then we lose our salvation. This is perfectly Biblical -- see, for example, James 2:14-26. And no, he is not simply saying that if you don't do good works then you were never saved to begin with. He is saying exactly what the text says: That good works are necessary for salvation. The thing to remember is that salvation is not just something that happens to us in this life...

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

...Jesus said that "he who perseveres to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24:13). By God's unmerited grace, we have, completely beyond our powers or deserts, been forgiven and reincorporated into God's family here below; the fact that we even have a chance at going to heaven is due purely to that grace. But there is a final salvation to take place after death, and in order to reach that salvation, we must respond to God's love with our lives and with our wills.

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

I know you believe that if one continues in sin, then he was never saved to begin with...but that is simply not a Biblical concept. Remember, Judas was called by Jesus and made one of the twelve apostles; but, as everybody knows, he fell away. Peter was chosen by Christ and given a revelation from the Father of Christ's true identity, but later on he denied Jesus three times. And then he repented, was forgiven, and came back to the fold. Salvation is not a "once-for-all" thing...not until we die

[LaneCh]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Why does Paul speak of justification in a past sense in Romans 5? ("Therefore being justified...")

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Salvation allows us to do works, not works granting us salvation (If that's what you're eluding to) However, one cannot lose their salvation, if they "don't have it" it's because they never had it to begin with (1 John 2:19) And yes, good works SHOW that you're saved and have a new heart (Ezekiel 36:25-27, John 3:16) but works do NOT grant salvation

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

Frankly, my friend, I have to ask you this: Did Peter never have salvation in the first place? Was Judas not granted salvation in the first place as a follower of Christ?

Furthermore, St. James does not say "if we are saved, then we will do good works." He says, quite explicitly, that "a person is justified by works and not by faith alone" (James 2:24). This, by the way, is the only time the term "faith alone" is used in the Bible, and it's in the form of negation.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Peter was saved, Judas was not. Judas was never saved. A lot of people were with Christ but not saved. If you read in John that many left Him and so did Judas. We are not saved by works, our works are evidence of our salvation. Yes, our works show our justification by faith. My friend, if you, however, trust in your good deeds to save you and not the finished work of Christ alone then you will spend an eternity in Hell because your works are filthy rags before God

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 I highly suggest you read Romans 3:10-12;23-27

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

@RonMaday I have, and there is nothing in there that rules out the idea that good works play a role in our salvation. That doesn't mean that we owe our salvation to our good works--the Catholic Church does not teach that. But they do play a role. What we have to understand is that grace does not obliterate or override nature--it builds upon and improves it. God calls us, through grace, to become cooperators in our salvation and in the salvation of others. But of course, the ability to do so...

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

...is wholly dependent on God's grace--or, if you will, that initial and fundamental "move" on God's part.

God Bless.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Nothing? What does it say in Romans 3:27 "Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith." Romans 4:4-5 "Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness," Romans 5:1-9 aslo!

[12godslove]

@RonMaday

James 2: 18 Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Dear friend, our good works are a result of our salvation, i.e. our new nature of being in Christ. It's the natural for us! However, if we even rely on a hint of our good works before God we are self-righteous and God despises that.

[1r1shCath0l1c2]

@RonMaday There is a difference between self-righteousness and a sense of duty. The only way you can truly be devoted to Christ is if you do good for Him while knowing that you could, alternatively, turn away from Him. Christ wants us to love Him, and there is no true love without CHOICE.

[cristomio75]

Praise God I really enjoy brother paul's messages, he's one of the few pastors that preach the truth. I wish he could come to Australia. Please God bless him and his family!!!

[12121212838]

amen......



[christiannandres]

was this a meganuclearblast for your soul as it was for mine??than YOU YHWH...

[MegaPW1]

I agree with this whole sermon but I see alot of what Brother Paul Washer said starting at: 41.37 and ending at 42.36- The LORD said in HIS WORD that evil would be coming in like a flood. Isaiah 59:19- Proverbs 15:28- Matthew 7.

[Shekanahh]

I wonder if this church requires tithing? Tithing was under the law, and is not part of the New Covenant teaching concerning giving.

[GMTJ2]

@Shekanahh Who said it wasnt in the new testament?

[GMTJ2]

@Shekanahh Who said it wasnt in the New Covenant?

[teceyS3]

if you are truly striving to be like Jesus Christ- you will not use your time dissing on other religions- you will instead use your time while here on Earth to strive to conform your image to the Savior's- we all need to stop wasting our time and start to pray that God will change our hearts :)))

[dillonpslater]

All truth. Just hearing these things from brother Washer is grace in itself. Amen

[MrWolleydog]

the simplistic peaching of the Gospel is such a grace on Mr. Washer's life... missing in mainline preaching and in our churches today... Christ's words are radically opposite of our world and even in our own hearts if we examine ourselves

[sweetsongbirdshay83]

I really appreciate the truth of this message. It is exactly what I a needed to hear. It is so easy to think of yourself more highly than you ought to just because you have had a true encounter with Christ. I began to feel as if I were better than others because I am truly living to be holy and others around me are blinded by their own carnality. I pray that God continues to rebuke me in His love and delivers me from presumptuousness. I am what I am by the grace of God!

[GMTJ2]

@sweetsongbirdshay83 Just confess Psalms 19 everyday

[sweetsongbirdshay83]

@GMTJ2 yes, I have been trying to consistently do just that...

[BAKHSING]

more more more truth?

[treasuringjesus]

I am so glad to hear this positively Christ-centered message by Paul Washer.

[HeavenBound2323]

"Your all lost and going to hell" (with a smile on his face) LOL

[Sitalovic]

Share this with all your brothers and sisters, because this message needs to be heard.

I speak for myself and by my own experience I know that my sensitivity to sin is fading away. This message always comes at the right time.

Let's all fight and help each other by spreading these eye-opening messages.

God bless you all

[jutchins]

God Bless you

[shaunehw]

Ty this post. God Bless!

[psalm10643]

May the whole world hear the true gospel message that is preached through these means, to the glory of Christ Jesus, and bring salvation unto millions. And that the command given (Mat 28:19&20) as the Lord assended into heaven be fulfilled.

[treasurytruth]

this is good

[danieltkb]

Paul Washer should come to ASIA to let us hear him face to face saying the truth.

I guess not only US or Peru need him, this part of the world too need to hear him say.

If ever PW will come to ASIA, pls email me.

I had download many of his sermon on the sermonaudio web.

i kept running those sermon again and again, it sound always new and hit me hard and burden me. on the truth!

[deejaySpirit]

Does anybody know what kind of worship/praise music Paul Washer listens to? I really want to know.

[souLNostia]

I couldnt tell you how much he listenes to them but he has mentioned both keith green and rich mullins in his sermons.

they also happen to be my favourite christian singer/songwriters

[somanysickpeople]

@deejaySpirit yes I know! He loves music that glorifies Christ! He dislikes music that has anything to do with the world and it system of unrighteousness! I listened to a sermon were they sang Christian Rap, before his preaching and he said it was worship music! I have personally sung older hymns with him! Faithful men comes to mind! Last weekend in Ohio!

[AMBASSSIDOR]

paul washer guys please listen to the truth..........

[wayneandbibi]

The Lord bless you!

[shelbox]

I don't know you, crimsongurad. but I sense your heart has been broken by disappointment, with God, church etc. You know that God is closest to those with a broken heart? Jesus' sacrifice has covered our sin, but we need to turn to Him, not by obeying the gospel but recognition that without Him there is no hope. By the way I went to church for many years but still did not have Christ. God needs to transform your heart and awaken your spirit, it is all Him, he grace, and love, not you.

[WaitingforChrist]

I couldn't tell you how much I NEEDED to hear this.

[th60064]

yes i will pray for you. believe it or not i actually did pray for you before seeing this message. i know that God has not abandoned you if he has started a good work in you he will see it through till the end. He has said in the bible my word cannot return void. but you to trust in him. if we can put our trust in pilots, doctors, and taxi drivers who are capable of letting us down. surely we can trust God who is mightier. trust in Christ like you would a parachute. put him as the bible says

[th60064]

We all have suffered in life I suffered many things even as a Christian but that desn't mean we should hate God for it. God never said that our pain and suffering would go away after we follow him but in fact if you study the apostle paul's life in the bible it definitly wasn't happy. shipwrecked, beaten, prisoned, flogged, and almost killed he really suffered but that made him love God more because he knew what awaited him in heaven

peace and everlasting life with Christ.

[th60064]

God doesn't give us suffering nor does he put bad things for us to endor look but he does allow things to happen to us so that we can in turn use these experiences to help others going through the same things. If a woman was raped God didn't cause her to get raped the man who did it had sin in his heart and that sin is from the devil not God. But God knowing the womans heart allowed her to endure that tragedy because she can be used by God to help others for like her to be saved.

[th60064]

instead of appreciating the good things God has provided like our eyes to see our noses to smell good food and good scents our hands to touch soft and warm things and our taste buds to taste all the flavors like sweets and salts and some times others like bitter and we can enjoy beautiful colors like the rainbows after rain and trees during spring and snow to play in etc. and Happy things and laughter we only think of the bad things and say oh God why do you allow me to suffer this.

[th60064]

The joy and peace that we will see will be in heaven. God doesn't cause suffering in the world. the world is the way it is because we are in fallen state because since Adam and Eve first sinned and we have the blood of Adam in us. Plus we are enemies of God in our minds through wicked works and our hearts are deceitfully wicked as the bible says. we would rather follow our own ways rather than God's instead of putting God first in our lives we take his name in vein and use his name to cuss.

[th60064]

I am truely sorry you feel the way you do but I truely have to say that if you were probably a victum of those this modern gospel proclamation that is saddly but truely misleading people into believing they will find love joy and peace and lasting happyness by simply asking Jesus into their hearts without first seeing their need for forgiveness. Jesus said that if we followed him we would receive trials and persecution and we would be hated because he was hated as he was hated

[th60064]

Jesus said every idle word spoken you will have to give an account of on the day of judgement. Is eternal punishment in Hell more satifying than eternal life and joy through Jesus. come to your senses Jesus can wash your sins clean and make you a new creation but you must repent from your sins and trust in Jesus to save you and he will otherwise you will perish. Please don't make a terrible mistake when you die there is no turning back Hell is eternally real. Get right with God now.

[th60064]

Crimsonguard what did God do to you to make you feel so much hate that you would loose your own soul to the greatest liar of all time. God offers you everlasting life in Heaven as a free gift and you turn him down for eternal torment with satan. There must be something inside of you that screams I don't want to die. If you follow satan you following death. He will deceive you right until Judgement day.

[joshuadmeans]

i praise God for this man. God has used these sermons so much in my life. :)

it's the good, loving, honorable character of Jesus Christ Himself that comes through this preaching. I dont' know him from adam, but what he preaches is true. "to be like Jesus Christ." That's the question in life. I pray as Christian men see not Jesus Christ in their mirror, they will go and apologize to those they've treated badly. It's what's commanded of us, to be like His son. Sometimes we have to admit wrong.

[netengeargirly2k]

Good preaching. thank You.

[mdkbdshan]

This couldn't of come to me at a better time in my life. I'm broken and need to repair a relationship. Thanks again Lane.

[thebigsheepman]

Thanks Lane.

[Gvozdov]

God bless you!

[MANCKIE]

God Bless

[beachtides24]

thanks for sharing

[beachtides24]

to try our best to be clothed in Christ everyday of our lives. to love one another as Jesus has loved us. powerful message. all throughout to the end of the video was enlightening.

God bless you

[yendelwendal]

Dear Heavenly Father I am severily guilty, but I am so thankfull that I am there because of Christ and Christ alone, and I say, blessed is the Lamb that was slain from the foundations of the world.

[sureshpr1]

@yendelwendal Amen

[Jeffyfolife]

is there more?

[LaneCh]

There's another part that I'll be posting soon.

[teddyhcraig]

Why is it that the two major religions of the world are focused on dos and don'ts? Are teachers of salvation by works, instead of by grace and through faith, and are entirely contrary to the Word of God!

The Roman Catholic Church, and the Islamic religion, are like that because Christ isn't in them. He's no part of them at all, and, without Him all they have is an attempt to earn a salvation of themselves. But that never works, never has and never will, as the work of Christ is all that saves!

[AnthonyNpplboy]

Same with Christianity, but Christians recognize that your ability/inability to keep the Law won't save you.

[derran15]

Yes, I agree that salvation is by the work of Christ alone, but Jesus, the Son of God, left many Do's and Don'ts. Do love, Don't wait to follow Me, etc.... and in the Old Testament, God spoke many Do's and Don'ts, because everything God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit say are absolute truth. I believe what Mr. Washer is saying is that you will follow the Truth that God laid out. Will we be saved by our work, no, do we need to listen to God, yes. I'd write more but I'm out of space.

[fruitofspirit]

I don't know enough about Islam to comment, but Catholocism disturbs me.

They believe they have some "divine right" to the Kingdom because they have "apostolic succession" - that Christ just "ordained" or "founded" their religion, so as long as they practice it, they're going to heaven & no one else can.

It is the same lie Pharisees believed.

They thought that they were guaranteed the Kingdom by being "descendents of Abraham" who "practiced the law of Moses."

[yendelwendal]

Its been predestination and election from day one, there is neither jew nor gentile, it's not about DNA, If you think you are it, repent.

[fruitofspirit]

Yea, my whole point was that DNA is not what it's about - so I won't have to repent for that...possibly other things before the day is over - but not that.

And yes, election has been predestined since the dawn of time, but as R.C. Sproul tells us, "We should treat everyone we meet as the potentially elect of God since we as human beings have no idea who is or isn't part of the elect."

[yendelwendal]

Yes Amen I agree :)

[fruitofspirit]

Love your prayer at the top of the page!
