I heard someone claim that being anointed by God allows people to do whatever they want without criticism, which is not biblical. Anointing, originally meaning to rub or pour oil, has three main purposes in the Bible: for health and comfort, as a token of honor, and as a symbol of consecration for God's service. Anointing equips someone to fulfill God's plan, not to act without consequences. Misinterpreting it as a license for unchecked actions is incorrect. #marcusvbrown #izfly

Repentance is more than saying "I'm sorry." It means to turn or change one's mindset and behavior. Matthew 3:8-11 and the parable in Matthew 21:28-31 show that true repentance requires actions that reflect a changed heart.

Repentance is a continual commitment to turning away from sin. Acts 2:38 and 2 Peter 3:9 emphasize changing one’s ways, accepting Jesus, and being baptized to receive the Holy Spirit.

True repentance involves genuine change, not just words. If someone teaches otherwise, they are misleading you. #marcusvbrown #izfly

I reject the belief that black people are cursed or have dark skin as punishment. The "curse of Ham" teaching isn't biblical; it's a lie. Neither Cain's punishment nor Noah's curse on Canaan was about skin color. Race-based slavery goes against biblical principles of equality. If you teach the curse of Ham, you're spreading a falsehood. #marcusvbrown #izfly

I don't buy into the idea that "God moves in mysterious ways." God's ways are clear if you look at Scripture and Jesus. He wants us to know Him and reveals Himself to us. His actions aren't a mystery; they're about mercy, grace, and relationship. Believing otherwise comes from misunderstanding, not divine teaching. So, I challenge that notion and encourage seeking understanding through Scripture and personal connection with God. #marcusvbrown #izfly

I'm challenging the idea that "God won't give you more than you can bear," a belief often attributed to scripture. It's not from the Bible or Jesus. While God offers a way out of temptation, it doesn't mean He won't allow overwhelming trials. We must rely on God for deliverance and lean on prayer and community support. #marcusvbrown #izfly

I've been noticing a lot of misinterpretations of scripture within Christendom, so I started my "Who in Hell Taught You That" series to address them. I've been at it for about four months now, covering topics like "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" and "Only God Can Judge Me." I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for watching, sharing, and engaging with my videos. If you haven't already, check out my YouTube channel and Facebook page. And remember, just because something's been taught a certain way for a long time doesn't mean it's correct. So, if you ever find yourself questioning a belief, ask yourself: Who in hell taught you that? #marcusvbrown #izfly

I'm debunking the idea that giving without expecting anything back is noble. According to the Bible, every act of giving leads to receiving, like sowing seeds for a harvest. It's a fundamental law, not loss. I emphasize giving intentionally, as it's reciprocity in action. Withholding leads to loss. Embrace giving and reject teachings saying otherwise. #marcusvbrown #izfly

The church-money debate is heated. Some say the church shouldn't receive money, believing it's solely for community aid. But biblical teachings emphasize caring for one's own family first. Scripture defines widows deserving church support narrowly. Church leaders should receive financial backing. Rejecting church contributions while relying on its services is hypocritical. So, if you oppose giving to the church, question where that belief came from. #marcusvbrown #izfly
