I've been listening to pastor Doug for over 20 years! I truly trust his teaching. And I don't just take his word. He gives you plenty of scripture to research! I love and thank God for him.
woo！Me 8 years
4 years here
Perhaps at the other side of the world 🌎
I been listening to pastor Doug for over 10 years, remember starting and finishing my days with his sermons.
Thanks God for this enormous blessing!
Remember my daughter been 6 have heard something negative, someone said about pastor and came to me and said: that it's not true! She was referring to him like someone from our blood family! Imagine a no english family having pastor Doug familiar in the home through media.
Usually pastor Doug does very well, but it is telling that he cannot refute the fact that Jesus Christ is our perfect example, and Jesus kept the Passover.
Why do you have red eyes ? It doesn't look right !
Wow!what an amazing God we serve!
One of my habits is watching Pastor Doug's videos everyday in the morning.😊
Ur pretty

Good afternoon pastors am always listening to Q&A all the way from S,V.G @🇻🇨🇻🇨
Fascinating depth into His Mighty Word.
There is so much truth in God's word, how our lives would greatly improve if we'd just stop and listen. Take the name of Jesus with you child of sorrow and of woe🙏, an old hymn rightly said.
Awesome Pastors
Don't forget to add these episodes into the playlist! Thank you!
I love this show God bless
Amazing facts just NEVER disappoints. Pure Bible facts. Such patients and thoughtful answers to the searching brethren. May The Lord God continue to bless this anointed ministry richly!!!
Mostly, except for the fact that Jesus Christ is our perfect example, and he kept the Passover, showing that the Feasts of the Lord are not done away with.
@@statutesofthelord wrong. Study the Bible and read what He actually said, and what the Passover was a SHADOW of.. I’ll give you a hint, JESUS. He’s the Passover lamb. Everything He did was an example, of course,but the ceremonial laws died at the cross along with all the other “types”.
@@teo5836 Teo, Just like others, you talk against Jesus keeping the Passover in order to assuage your conscience that you are not following Christ's perfect example.
@@teo5836 The Passover was not a "shadow", as Polycarp observed the Passover with some of the original apostles since he was a disciple of John. He also vigorously defended the Passover against the Roman bishop's movement to replace it with the heathen Easter festival in the 2nd century(with absolutely no scriptural basis i might add) that traditional Christianity zealously observes to this day.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 yes it was, it was literally a type. The blood that was put on the doors of the Jews in Egypt was of an innocent lamb, sacrificed to save the lives of those who’s door were covered by that lambs blood. Jesus is the antitype, the true sacrifice who’s blood was shed for all who would believe in His name and accept His gift of salvation. Christ is our Passover, and we commemorate His sacrifice for us on communion which comes out of the Passover since Jesus used the Passover Seder to illustrate its meaning the breaking of bread symbolizes the pain He would endure for us, and the wine was symbolized for the new covenant and the blood He would shed for all. I don’t know who this Catholic praised Polycarp is, but if he was walking with the other apostles and still keeping the actual feast days then he wasn’t following the true apostles.
My Father is always at his work, and I, too, am working. We must choose to do God’s will. Ask the Father if his teachings were spoken through Jesus? Then turn to Jesus and abide in Him and he will reward you for what you have done. Blessed is he who does not stand in the counsel of men but delights in the word of the Lord. Pray that our flight will not take place in winter or on the sabbath. Seek our Father and His understanding. Ask that his Wisdom lead us in his path of righteousness. Knock bless you Father for blessing us with your Son and name Jesus.
Thank you for these questions and answers, a wonderful program.
Far to many "Christians" who do not understand what that means from Scripture.
Many people enjoy a particular "Preacher" even if they teach non Biblical concepts.
We need to pray for so many lost, they need to actually Read their Bible.

I have OCD wish effects my daily life so on sabbath I have to fight with myself not to do things but I keep failing, what can I do, I’m trying not to break the commandments but my illness won’t let me
I thought this was a live podcast. However, it's midday, and will look forward to viewing later this evening!
Good morning Pastor Doug, can you explain the difference between the Seventh Day Sabbath that we follow and the Lunar Sabbath that some SDA is now following?
The lunar sabbath will always fall on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of a given lunar month. This means that some weeks near the end of the lunar month can be more than 7 days before the next sabbath. God said to work 6 days and the 7th was sabbath of The Lord. He said nothing about any extended weeks due to a lunar cycle in His commandment to keep the sabbath.
@@williammcleroy558 Good explanation, William. The weekly cycle has never been broken since Creation week. God bless you.
@@statutesofthelord Thanks. I hope I explained well. I'm certainly not a great teacher. Haha
I believe the spiritual application of having a physical altar means you're creating a space for him to dwell. Of course having an altar I feel is a good thing. It also serves as a reminder everytime you see it.
is there anyone who knows the song about jesus is come again? in my memories the song was made by pastor Doug (it was about jacob’s ladder i guess…)
Good evening Pastor. Please can you explain? Did the people of Israel march around, or invade Jericho on the 7th day Sabbath? Joshua 6:3-4. Some former SDA’s are saying they did which means Saturday is not the Sabbath, and the Sabbath day changes regularly according to the lunar calendar. Thank you
Why would it matter if they did? We are allowed to do the Lords work on the Sabbath. They were doing what He instructed so even if they were marching, they were not in error because they were doing the work of the Lord.
@@thebiggestpanda1 Indeed. Jesus said it is good to do good on the sabbath. Obeying God would certainly qualify.
This is exactly what I said to this person. They did as God commanded them to do. Whether it was Sabbath or not. He is Lord of the Sabbath.
Any way I can be connected with a question , tried different options. Help!

Did this air on Sunday, like the usual schedule does or was this recorded today. Thursday February 16, 2023.
I believe it's a rebroadcast. Since I heard this message last Sunday evening
There were many technical difficulties on Sunday. For example the camera was fixed on Jean Ross for like 15 minutes. So this is a fixed issue now.
@@celorenzo Thank you.
@@Fireinthestubble Thank you.
Hi. It says it's a prerecorded program. Live is on Sunday..
*@**21:04** *The question of why was there a 400-year period between the OT and the NT.*
*I personally think God kept that 400 year intertestamental period silent to make a dynamic, powerful impact for us to appreciate the prophecies that would come to fruition!! Isaiah 53 is just more powerful (to me, at least!) that our Lord & Savior Jesus was prophesied 400 years or more before his arrival and death. The silent period...provides a WOW factor for this individual!*
I'm not Adventist but I want to know ,do 7day Adventist believe in the rapture? If so which position do they hold.Thnk you.
Kit, as Adventists we do believe in a rapture (to be caught up) at the second coming of Christ at the end of time as we know it. We, however, do not believe the Bible reveals the rapture will be secret, nor do we believe there will be second chances at salvation after the rapture. When Christ returns it will be visible to all (Rev 1:7), loud (1 Thess 4:16), and an all out spectacle (Mathew 25:31). Hope this helps.
I think you need to define what you mean by "rapture". To the people in many Christian churches it means different things. The word "rapture" is not actually in the bible. As far as SDA beliefs go: We believe at Jesus' 2nd coming all His people (those both alive at the time and the resurrected saints) will be taken off this earth to heaven (many call this a "rapture"). Jesus promised we would be with Him in heaven (in His Father's house). John 14:1-3
This would be at the start of Rev. 20s 1,000 years. 1,000 years later we come back to earth in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:1-7 - "prepared as a bride" IMO means filled with God's people) with Jesus. The wicked dead are resurrected (again Rev. 20) and God will then sit in the final judgement before they, Satan and his angels (Eze. 28:14-19) and the entire earth is destroyed by a rain of fire (see also Mal. 4:1-3). This final judgement takes place in the valley of Jehoshaphat (Joel 3:11-17). The 6th plague shows evil spirits leading the wicked to Armageddon (Megiddo which is in the valley of Jehoshaphat - Armageddon is NOT an event, it's a place) Rev. 15:12-16

How many apostle s Jesus changed there names?
Are pastor s allowed to talk about the dead sea scrolls?
Sir pastor s.both of you , the question that the gentleman asked re:.matt 24 v1-5 where he thought that the Pope is trying to change the law Dan 7 v 25 n, if a representative from the Vatican is there how could say the Pope nis not in , I disagree Satan is behind the seen at all time , love n respect
Was Matthew s name Levi and was Luke a apostle and was Paul one of the 12 been whaching the chosen have not seen Luke or Paul in there.
The Chosen portrays a different christ than the Christ of the Holy Bible.
Beware!
Paul was NOT one of the 12.
Please?, How does one contact bible answers live?.
They don't answer questions on CZcams and they answer with long responses that have little to do with your questions.
Did God gives us thought? I'm ex SDA and I learned that Jesus wants you only not a day. Jesus is the new salvation. If u don't like it then become a jehova witness.
Jesus was always the salvation. All the sacrificial services were pointing forward to His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. It is written that Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the earth. -Rev 13:8
Is it a sin to celebrate Christmas?
Not neccessarily. Depends on how you celebrate it. I wouldn't suggest putting up Christmas trees and lights and writing letters to Santa Claus. What do any of those have to do with Christ anyway?
100% yes. Deut. 12 says that using the customs of heathens to honor God is an abomination. Jer. 10 also says Christmas is a "worthless doctrine", and it's not difficult to see why: the unholy festivals of traditional Christianity do absolutely nothing to point ppl to the true gospel, the Father, or His salvation plan, nor is anyone ever been blessed by observing them. It is the exact opposite with the Lev. 23 festivals.
Yes celebrating anything to do with Jesus's birth, life, death or resurrection is a sin to the sda's and jw.
So the Falcons are faster than Eagles?
Matt 24:15-18 'When ye see the Abomination of Desolation,(?) stand in the holy place, Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: , Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house, (?) if in the field not to return back to take his clothes.' What does this all mean? Should believers be living off-grid?
Not sure that is what it is saying but certainly not a bad way to live. It could mean that as well though. I think we'll be made aware of what we are to do when the time is right. We won't be able to physically prepare since it is a time where we are to trust God as the children of Isreal had to do when He saved them from Egypt as I understand it.
Many take this that we should flee or hide away now. That’s not what the Lord wants us to do. We should live in rural areas where we experience the wonders of Gods creation in nature but we’re also supposed to still engage society to minister to them as Jesus did. We are to pay attention to events in the last days so when the Sunday law goes into effect then we are prepared to flee into the wilderness.
@@dr.johnwatson2503 Yes, our work is in the cities. We'll know when to flee. The Lord will make it very clear. If we are hiding away now we aren't doing our Lord's will. Our light cannot shine so well from the wilderness, haha.
I think, in this case the 3rd and final fulfillment of this prophecy, that God's people (since the 2nd rise of the Papacy as a political power in 1929) should be preparing to be able to leave the cities. We need to be prepared (where we shall go) once the Sunday laws begin to be enforced. At that time we need to drop everything we are doing and RUN. Run for our lives.
@@davidstarr6604 Consider the scripture. It says to not go into your house to retrieve anything. It means to run right then! No preperation. We must rely ONLY on God at that time. If we are in His will at that time we will realize that anyhow and do what is right. We know we can trust Him to provide for us as He did the children of Isreal in the desert.
Is driving on the Sabbath a sin?
No.
I personally have the same question lingering in my mind every time Sabbath is near and I don't feel good with I do that
If you believe the sabbath is binding on you, riding or driving horses would be so it would follow that lighting the fire in the cars engine would be breaking the sabbath.
One time I had a dream when I wanted to go to church on Sabbath for the first time and I was telling him we should go but will not use the car
@@mikepotter1291 If you don't believe in the Seventh-day Sabbath yourself then you have no right to comment on what is right or wrong to do on that day....
The Catholic church has definitely already changed God's time and laws (ten commandments).
Name one. Quote the beliefs of the catholic church not the lies told by sda's. What about bearing false witness? Who changed that commandment?
@@mikepotter1291 Let's start with the first Sunday law ever mad by Constantine the Great, March 7, 321AD: "Let all judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades rest on the VENERABLE DAY OF THE SUN; but let those who are situated in the country, freely and at full liberty, attend to the business of agriculture; because it often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting vines; lest the critical moment being let slip men should lose the commodities granted by heaven." Corpus Juris Civilis Cod.: lib. 3, tit. 12,3
Or this: "Sabbath, Change of, Action of Council of Laodicea on A.D. 364 - Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday [Sabbath, original] but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ." A History of the Councils of the Church: from the Original Documents, Rt. Rev. Charles Joseph Hefele, D.D., Bishop of Rottenburg, book 6, sec. 93, canon 29 (Vol. II, page 316), Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1896
Perhaps this from A Doctrinal Catechism, by Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174: "Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her: she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority."
Or this: "It was the Catholic Church which, ...has transformed this rest to the Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] Church." Plain Talk About the Protestants of Today, by Msgr. Segur. Page 213
I have more quotes of you are really interested and also from various Protestant churches admitting there is no biblical authority for Sunday.
Compare also the Catholic version of the 10 commandments with the originals from Ex. chapter 20. They took out the 2nd commandment and split the 10th one into two separate commandments.
@@davidstarr6604 it looks like you're on the right track but you need to look for the quotes, teachings and Christian practices the first 400 years before Constantine was born and many Christians were worshipping everyday and all were gathering on Sunday.
There are many versions of the Bible but if you would look at a catholic Bible and compare it to your Bible, whatever translation you use, I believe you'll find the same words in Exodus & Dueteronomy. How those commandments or verses are numbered may be different but all the words are there. Regardless the false testimony of some, idolitry or sabbath were not removed from the Bible.
How they are numbered isn't as important since Moses or God didn't do that originally and if you want to treat your wife like a possession, you can take that up with God.
If all authority comes from the Bible all religions have some explaining when it comes to their doctrines including sda's.
I know times are a changing but I live in the usa and still have the right to comment on whatever I want including sabbath and you still have the right to tell falsehoods about catholics from hearsay evidence.
@@mikepotter1291 You said: "you need to look for the quotes, teachings and Christian practices the first 400 years before Constantine was born and many Christians were worshiping everyday and all were gathering on Sunday."
Total lies: 1) Christianity did not exist 400 years before Constantine was born. 2) Of course we worship God every day (including Sunday), but nowhere are there any records that Christians kept Sunday as any day different than the rest of the week. There is however abundant evidence in the New Testament that Saturday was kept as a special day of rest and worship. The book of Acts alone contains reference to at least 80 different seventh-day Sabbaths kept by the early Christians (including Gentiles).
You said: "If all authority comes from the Bible all religions have some explaining when it comes to their doctrines including sda's." AND I agree with you there. I have studied the doctrines of many Christian churches and IMO the SDA church is closer to biblical true than any other...
You said: "you still have the right to tell falsehoods about catholics from hearsay evidence." HA, I gave exactly what you asked for references from the Catholic Church itself on their historically based claim to have changed God's law. You discounted it all because you just don't want to believe it. It would require an elevated obedience on your part to follow God and His will. It's much easier to follow preachers that teach what you want to hear so you continue living a life of sin and disobedience and pretend to yourself you will still be saved...
This is why I didn't waste my time looking up all the NT references to the early Christians keeping Saturday as the Sabbath.
This is all I have to say to you. From now on I refuse to show you anything else I have learned in my 60 years of studies. We are told by Jesus Himself there are some places we should not cast our pearls of knowledge.
@@davidstarr6604 if you have studied this for 60 years and don't know when the Christian church started our what day they gathered on all I can do is pray God will speak to your heart and show you the light. I'm praying for you and all those who are focused on the law of Moses and don't see the grace and truth Jesus brought to the world.
Too many commercials
41:56 he's about to say Liger, did he get that from *Napoleon Dynamite* ? Also the other pastor talking is a buzz kill, aka boring. Sorry pastor but man.
This i think a dumb question but is God he's name a friend say it can't be bacause backwards it spells dog lol?
Just don't show pastor dough money, he'll go nuts.
You do realize he was a millionaire before he joined the church or became a Pastor?
He literally walked away from millions of inheritance to become a worker for God
24:00 to 26:00 As usual, pastor Doug gives his opinion, but no Bible verses to show that the Feasts of the Lord have been done away with. They are just lumped with the so-called "Ceremonial laws", and then thrown out, but where is the biblical basis for that?
Jesus Christ kept the Passover. Is he our perfect example, or not?
If you preach for money, you must choose to serve for God or Mamon !!!

If your transgender and you change your gender can u be saved?
There is only one unpardonable sin, and it isn't changing genders.
It is a sin tho Right
@@jamespieske407 God made them male and female.
It can be a sin, it depends on why. It is forgiveable by God.
Man was not created but made. You and every church never pray or confess or ask for forgiveness for slaughtering His babies to cover our evil deed. Were not blamed, accused, punished or exumecuted though were the guilty ones. So God dies for us so we can be God again. If you read scripture through mans eyes you wont recognize His Truth because there is none in us. We could stop all the pain we cause if we own our stuff.
This issue of climate change has become a political issue. I will remind that caller that at least half the scientists and population believe that climate change is not valid and is false science. I think every Christian believes that we should take care of this planet and be good stewards, but to follow this idea of global warming which has not been proven and has become such a hot and political and divisive is not something that our church should take a stand on. Stay out of it brethren. How can God be pleased when we bring up
These topics and cause decisions among us, when this world is passing away very quickly now. Save people not the planet .
Dear Doug. Were blind. Always were. Spend our time in His word which never would have been written if not for man. All of Gods creation is sealed. Why? Their creator lives inside of them. Man is separate and apart. Jesus would not have suffered and died if not for man. The only one that is guilty is man. The only one that sinned and then lied and blamed and murdered is man. Sabbath only exists for man. Creation knows who created them. They dont labor. They dont need to be teminded. The only ones that need commandments in stone. Gods word is alive. The only ones that needed saving is man. Jews missed it? He died, One third of His angels, one third of His stars cast our? I bet you dont do idol worship. Worshipping something that doesnt do anything and getting credit for it. The only ones that sinned against Gid is man. The only ones blamed, tortured and murdered were Gods precious ones. They can only love selflessly because the creator lives in His creation. We are not created. We were made. A cheap copy that looks like God but inside were like rotting meat. I dont keep living because soneone else died. After the 1st sin and before any innocence suffered, Adam & Eve could have told the truth, repent and He is quick to forgive. No death. Nope. Pointing, blaming, decieving, judging, convicting, punishing, torture, pain and death. All brought into His perfect eternal kingdom by man. Were still doing it. Its all about people, not all people, just the obes we like. If we dont then their our enemy? Maybe but their not Gods.
