If you are receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
truth radio show dot com shalom and welcome to the dam badani show truth radio show dot com and welcome to the book of romans chapter 15 If you missed chapters 1 through 14, please go back and watch them.
This way it makes sense where we go further, yeah.
So we got one more chapter after this.
There's a total of 16 chapters in this amazing book.
Then we move on to the book of Acts.
So chapter 15, guys, is in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible.
Let me say that again, in-depth comprehensive study.
So the word slipped out there the wrong way.
So yeah, we do chapter by chapter and verse by verse.
So what we do is a Bible study approach.
Number one is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So let's do that right now.
To our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Messiah, Jesus Christ, we ask you to forgive us individually for the sins that we committed today.
And thank you so much for everything.
And we ask you to help Give us the Holy Spirit to write the word your word today Romans chapter 15 upon our hearts and Heavenly Father We love you so much and thank you so much for everything and please pray for everybody.
I'm sorry.
We pray for everybody out here Who's going through any kind of anguish or any problems at all that fits within your will that you can help them Lord and Please protect us all from the forces of evil And we ask you to also just write your name upon our hearts, Lord.
Write your word upon our hearts.
Write your will upon our hearts, Lord.
Love you so much.
Thank you so much.
Amen.
So we read the Scripture in context because context is key.
And let the Scripture interpret Scripture.
Don't lean on your own understanding.
As the Bible says.
So, let's begin with chapter 15.
So this is, again, one more chapter after this.
And, here we go.
So, Romans chapter 15.
And we use the King James Bible.
Just open your Bible before you go on.
So it begins, when they are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves, right?
So as Paul opens up this chapter here, which is infirmities, right?
Infirmities is the sickness of bodily disease.
So when we are strong, we ought not to bear the infirmities of the weak, you know, the things that make them sick and, you know, disease, whatever the case, right?
The infirmities, right, of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
So we're supposed to help the weak.
That's what we're supposed to do, not bear their infirmities.
So let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.
So edification is helping somebody, right?
Helping them, if you want to know the real meaning of that, right?
We always like to do this here.
Edification in the Bible is to let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good of the use of edifying.
That it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Right?
So no corrupt communication.
That's a better version of what I was saying.
So yeah, let everyone of us please his neighbor.
Right?
For his good to edification.
Communication.
Nothing corrupt to come out of your communications out of your mouth.
So you can minister on them, right?
So we were talking about the last chapter.
That's where we left off, too, and I wanted to point that out, too.
Right at the end.
Actually, my bad here.
So I remember seeing edification in the last chapter there, so I just wanted to point that out.
So edification is like to help people, right?
Again, we're not judging them like the last chapter says.
We're not judging them, but we edify them, right?
In other words, help them along with their journey.
Because the thing is, if you go over there and like, persecute them.
In other words, somebody came to Christ tomorrow, right?
One of your friends.
They were doing, you know, bad things all the time.
And yeah, they're supposed to say, you help them out of that stuff, right?
But they're still doing things that the Lord doesn't like, right?
Like having statues all over the house, things like that, right?
Eating anything they want, like pork and all that stuff, right?
Again, you don't go judge them or nothing like that to push them away, no.
And go with meekness and love, right?
And yeah, to please your neighbor, you know, go with love, right?
Love your neighbor.
And for his good to edification.
So it's good to edify.
Say, listen, it's like, I'm not telling you what to do, brother, all right?
But this is what the Bible says about having those idols.
This is what the Bible says about eating that kind of food.
You know, let him know, show him what the scriptures say, right?
Then leave it at that.
Don't hate him because he's still eating the pork.
That's what the last chapter is about.
Let God work that out with him.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, um, in another instance too, we had a person on my show, uh, my buddy Daniel, right?
He was wearing an ACDC shirt.
Now he was getting criticized by the people in the chat room and John Paul didn't like that.
Right?
So John Paul was like, Hey, let me on the show.
So I let him in, and he really chewed them out because he was trying to prove disappointment.
Yeah.
And the guy's still new to the faith.
You know what I mean?
He's still trying to come into the faith of Christ, right?
So if we're only at beating his head because he's got an ACDC shirt on, right, that's not good because what you've got to do is you're going to push him away.
Now later, yeah, you need to tell him, say, listen, some of the stuff you listen to ain't that good, right?
Especially for persons of fear of them.
You know what I mean?
So leave it at that.
Later on, it's like, yeah, some of the stuff, because of the lyrics in there, you might want to be careful, right?
You don't beat him over the head with it, because what it's going to do, it's going to push him away from you.
Right?
I hope you get the point of what I'm trying to say.
So, for even Christ, pleased not himself, right, but as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee fell on me, right?
It's already got the definitions for this, yeah?
It's disgrace or shame.
A righteous exalt a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
That's the biblical meaning, right?
So even Christ pleads himself, right?
But as it's written, the reproaches of them, which is the sins and all that, right?
The sin of reproach to people, right?
The disgrace and shame that fell upon me, right?
For whatever things were written aforetime, which means that's a former time, previously, right?
So whatever things that were written before, like prior, right?
Which would refer to the Old Testament.
Were written for our learning.
That we thought patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
So, before time in this case is the Torah.
The Old Testament, right?
For our learning.
If the Old Testament, I'm tongue-tied today guys, please forgive me.
So, they would say the Old Testament doesn't matter, you don't even have to bother reading it.
Yeah, it does.
Because why would Paul and Jesus constantly say, as it is written, referring to the Torah and the Old Testament?
That we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.
Now God of patience and consolation, right?
And what's consolation?
It is an attempt to comfort someone who is in sorrow.
So that's what consolation means, right?
So, now God of patience and comfort in somebody who's in sorrow, right?
Grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ.
So be like-minded, you know, within Christ.
I'm saying, if the person's sinning, you don't be like-minded by sinning.
That's not what I'm saying.
Comfort the person and be like-minded toward one another according to Christ, right?
According to Christ.
Key word.
According to.
So saying like, you talk to a fellow brother, you know, you comfort them who's going through anguish, whatever, right?
Great you to be like-minded one toward another, right?
So, and it's not, you know, you're being like-minded what he's thinking, or he's being like-minded what you're thinking, whatever it is.
No, it's according to Christ.
The things of Jesus, right?
Because our carnal flesh, our sin nature, our minds are not always there the way it should be, you know, according to Christ, right?
But we're to be together, okay?
One-minded, right, according to Christ.
That you may, with one mind and one mouth, glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore, receive ye one another, as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
Yeah, in fellowship.
This is what it is.
In fellowship and praising the Lord.
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth.
Of God, right?
To confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
The promises made unto the fathers, right?
Those are the prophets.
Because that's who we're witnessing to, the Gentiles, right?
fight God for his mercy.
As it is written, again going back to the Torah and all that, for this will cause, I will confess to thee among the Gentiles and sing unto thy name.
Because that's who we're witnessing to, the Gentiles, right?
And again, he said, rejoice ye Gentiles with his people.
And again, praise the Lord all you Gentiles and loud him all you people.
Thank you.
See, you know, loud, I just want to clear it, to praise, okay?
So, again, he says, uh, praise Sorry guys, it's hard to highlight here.
Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and praise Him, all you people.
Right?
So praise all these people.
So you're praising the Lord.
And again, Isaiah, or Zelias, right?
Says, there shall be a root of Jesse.
And he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, and him shall the Gentiles trust.
Now the people of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost.
And I myself also persuaded of you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able to admonish one another.
Right?
So what does admonish mean?
To put in mind, to caution, or to reprove gently to warn.
So, as we talked about earlier, right?
So, again, we're not to bash somebody because they're doing something wrong.
Remember, these are the Gentiles, right?
The Gentiles didn't have the law growing up.
They didn't have the Ten Commandments.
Now coming into the faith, now they must transition, right?
Because Jesus says you need to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Him.
And his two great commandments are the hangings of the Ten Commandments.
The Gentiles didn't have that growing up.
So now, what it's saying is we need to help them.
Don't judge them, don't put stumble blocks that they turn away from faith, right?
But, it's a caution to reprove gently to one.
In other words, I'm going to use another example again.
You're a person next door or whatever the case, you know, for example, right?
You just converted, right, to a, you know, Christian, right?
A follower of Jesus Christ, right?
Now just say they had a strong Catholic background, right?
That, which means they would have statues of Jesus and Mary and everything else and they're still praying to Mary and all that, right?
Which is strictly pervaded by the Bible, right?
And all these little, um, so-called religious relics and everything.
So, they don't know any better, right?
So, you would come out, oh, you gotta get rid of those statues, and that's it, you know?
No, you gotta go easy on these people, right?
Because they just left Catholicism.
Right?
You gotta put into their mind, talk to them with caution.
See?
You need to be cautious about this, and reprove gently to warn them.
Show them where it talks about idolatry.
Show them where it talks about how Jesus is the only way to heaven.
The only intercessor, right?
You don't just go slim over the head with it, because guess what?
They're gonna go right back to the Catholic Church or turn away from the faith altogether.
And that's just one example.
You could have a Mormon, you could have a Jehovah Witness, you could have a Muslim.
So, the Bible's saying, right?
Again, don't judge them or put a stumbling block on them, right?
To use caution and gently warn them.
And one is not judging by the way.
I just want to point that out.
You're not judging somebody by wanting them.
It's like somebody standing on the train track looking the other way.
Train's coming in the background.
They've like got a pair of headphones on.
And oh don't judge me.
It's like well I'm not judging you.
I'm just trying to tell you to move because there's a train coming and you're gonna be killed.
You know and that's the difference between wanting somebody and helping them.
In this case you're helping.
You're trying to help them here.
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as put in you in mind because of the grace that is given to me of God, that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ, I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that offering up the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
So Paul's saying that he's written the more boldly unto you in some sort.
As putting you in mind, you know, thinking of them, because of the grace that was given to me, right?
So he wants to give it to them.
And Paul is, at the time, a minister of Christ to the Gentiles.
That's why he was sent to Rome.
To minister the gospel and offer up Gentiles that might be acceptable to be sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
In other words, transformation.
You know, you go from Gentile to a believer.
You're grafted into God's Israel.
I have therefore, wherefore, I make glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
So the glory goes to Jesus Christ, you know.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not wrought by me.
To make the Gentiles obedient by the word indeed.
So, Paul's saying that he's not going to speak to them, nothing other than what Jesus taught him to speak.
So, he wears the word obedient by the word indeed, right?
Again, the Gentiles didn't grow up with the laws.
They didn't have the Ten Commandments, okay?
What Paul's trying to do, right, with Caution and gentleness, right?
To warn them so they may follow the laws of God.
The commandments.
Because this is all new to them.
Just like when you witness to your friend down the street that's not a Jew.
These things are all new to them.
Or a lifelong Catholic or a Mormon or whatever the case, right?
Or even a Satanist, whatever the case.
These things are new to them.
You need to go very carefully to get them to be obedient to God.
Yeah, we all transformed, right?
But we're still new, you know, when you're new in the faith.
You still need to learn things to become obedient.
So Gentiles are obedient by the word of the deed through mighty signs and warnings by the power of the Spirit of God.
That's the Holy Spirit.
So that from Jerusalem and round about into Lycraeum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Which Paul went a lot of distances to preach the Gospel of Christ, right?
So it says, do the signs and wonders by the power of the Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit, right?
And when the Holy Spirit moves through you, we all have that, right?
Grown into the faith.
It changes you.
We go from our Gentile ways and start to go more toward God's ways, right?
So, yea, I have strived to preach the Gospel Not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.
So, in other words, he strived to go to places where Jesus wasn't even heard of.
And build upon another man's foundation.
In other words, people already... The other place we talked about was the people who I'm sorry, the places where the apostles and people went already ministered to, right?
So he said, I strive to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named.
So he talked about going to places where nobody's ever been before to preach the word.
Right?
But as it is written, referring to the old scriptures again, right?
To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see, and they shall have not heard, shall understand.
So it talks about the gospel being preached throughout the world, right?
This is just the beginning stages here at this point in time.
And the gospel in the book here of Romans.
So Paul's directive is to go to places where nobody's even heard of Jesus.
That's what he's saying.
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
To stop, impeded, obstructed, and retarded.
Right?
So, it means interference.
Which Paul did if you were, you know, as you read through the book of Romans here, he had a lot of interference of him coming into Rome to preach to you, right?
These people, I mean.
But now, having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come into you.
So Paul went to a lot of places, lots of places that the name of Christ wasn't even thought of, right?
Preach the word.
Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you for I trust to see you in my journey and be brought on my way to the word by you.
At first, I somewhat filled with your company.
Let me try to see what this word means here.
Titherwood.
So it's always good to get a full understanding of what every word means because it makes so much difference.
Titherwood is toward that place, right?
So again, this is old English, guys.
Back in the 1500s when King James wrote this, right?
Oh 1600, I'm sorry.
But yeah, whoever, yeah.
So he's saying like, um... He's asking them if they would come with him on a journey toward that place.
By you first of somewhat filled with your company.
So he's looking for company, you know, and also helping them go on to be disciples themselves.
Minister the Word of God.
But now I go into Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
Who are the saints?
The believers.
For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Actia to make a certain contribution to the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
To help them, like, well, be it food, money, whatever the case, making a contribution, right?
It has pleased them verily, and their debtors they are.
For as the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them of incarnal things.
And what's incarnal things?
It's world things, right?
So, carnal definition of the Bible is denoting human nature.
So, when therefore I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Thank you.
So now Paul's gonna make his way to Spain, right?
And I am sure that when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
In other words, be packed up, you know, ready to, well, versed up to be able to go to minister to people.
And now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, for the love of the Spirit, and strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.
So, beseech... To call upon, appeal or beg, you know.
So, he's asking, now I call upon you, brothers, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, For the love of the Spirit that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, right?
For God to help him.
That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea.
And that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints.
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
Now the God of peace be with you all.
Amen.
So that's pretty cool.
You know, he's like, him, uh, helping these Gentiles that he can write.
And again, I have to emphasize that too.
You know, wait a second.
As you can see, Paul was doing right, the The Gentiles he converted.
In the last couple chapters, talking about the meat and everything else and the laws and all that.
You got a friend who might be still eating pork, right?
That you helped come to the faith or you're new to the faith.
They might still be eating pork and having little idols and statues and whatever the case.
You don't go slam them because again, Paul said it will cause a stumbling block.
But you need to do this to put in your mind to use caution and go gently to warn these people that these things are bad.
Like for me, for example, right?
I used to love Christmas.
Christmas was my favorite holiday.
Because I honestly thought it was the birth of Christ.
It was a big red pill for me to swallow.
Okay?
To understand that, you know, it's nothing to do with Jesus.
It's Nimrod's birth.
Or Cyrus, right?
The rule of Babylon.
There's nothing at all to do with Jesus.
He was born in the spring.
I'm sorry, the fall.
A lot of people think it was in September.
So when you learn the truth, sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.
So when you got Gentiles, again, you gotta understand, right?
Gentiles didn't have the wheat.
Like us too, right?
I'm not a joke.
I didn't have the Ten Commandments growing up or anything like that.
I had to learn them.
And when I, you know, well, fortunately today we have the churches out there tell us, oh, yeah, the Ten Commandments are abolished because of modern day dispensation.
Thank you.
That's not the case.
They took the Holy Spirit to reach out to me because these pastors didn't do it.
Then I'm reading the scriptures, why is the Bible mentioning the Ten Commandments all through the New Testament?
Every book is something about the Ten Commandments.
Why is it doing that when Jesus tells us to keep the commandments of God?
Well, there's a clue.
Because the people behind the pulpits don't want anything to do with it.
And the Bible's true.
So again, we're the Gentiles, right?
We didn't have those things.
And we have to slowly be converting with, you know, care.
With gentleness.
And again, don't cause a stumbling block for them.
Like, in other words, don't go up and start yelling and screaming at them because they ate a piece of bacon.
Don't belittle them, don't yell, you know, swear at them, anything like that.
You just show them what the Bible says, right?
That it's certainly a good place and time, right?
And warn them, that's it.
Then what they do from there, it's between them and God.
Plain and simple.
Because if you yell at them, you can push them away.
And the thing is too, eventually the Holy Spirit will convict them.
If they don't want to step that up for us, oh, that's fine, I'm still going to eat bacon, right?
Eventually the Holy Spirit will convict them.
The further they get into the faith, they'll find out on their own.
So hope that made all sense to you guys.
And if you have any questions or comments at all, please put it in the comment section.
We got one more chapter to go after this.
Then we're going to move into the Book of Acts.
So there's an amazing book here.
The Book of Romans here.
So don't take my word or anybody else's word for it.
Read it for yourselves.
Seriously.
And also check out truthradioshow.com to our local listeners for all our shows.
And thank you so much for tuning into the Book of Romans, Chapter 15, in this in-depth, comprehensive study.
So I can't wait for Chapter 16.
It's going to be amazing.
And then moving on to the Book of Acts.
So love you guys.
God bless.
Shalom.
