Dr. Gene Kim

NotAshamed · August 13, 2020

Has anyone else here listened to Gene Kim on YouTube?

What’s the general consensus?

SureWord · August 13, 2020

I like him. He has one video about the line of bible believers since the time of the so-called "Ante-Nicene Fathers". It's about 2 1/2 hrs long. Good stuff.

Some might dismiss him because he's a "Ruckmanite" but he's really mild compared to Dr. Ruckman.

Gene Kim Teaches hyper-dispensational salvation and is into Jewish fables. Has some good stuff but tends to do click-bait teaching. He boarders on the heretical. I don't recommend him as a bible teacher. Someone like Brother James Knox or Bro. Douglas Stauffer would be much better for general teaching and online preaching.

Yeah, some of his titles can be rather click-baity!

I don't get on Youtube much so I've never head of him. I'll look for him and see what he is all about.

He’s very much KJV-Only and IFB. He does like Ruckman a lot, as well. You can’t judge his videos by the titles, though! You kinda have to watch them to see what he’s really saying.

He does use click-baity video titles! But, I guess I’ve become so accustomed to that on the inter-webs, in general, that I half expect it.

His trademark is that he preaches in front of a whiteboard and charts things out as he teaches.

Thanks, John!

I’ll check those guys out.

Pastor Matt · August 13, 2020

Click-bate? Like this? lol

I'll check his videos soon. Thanks for the information.

Yeah. Like that!

Here’s one of his KJV sermons. He has more than this.

Gene Kim probably doesn't have anything to do with the titles of the videos.

Douglas Stauffer teaches the same kind of so-called "hyperdispensational salvation" as Gene Kim.

What Jewish fables are you referring to?

Douglas Stauffer teaches the same kind of "hyperdispensational salvation" as Gene Kim. I've read his book "One Book, Rightly Divided". In fact, his teachings are virtually indistinguishable from Gene Kim's.

You said he "boarders on heretical". What does that even mean? You are either a heretic or not. Saying he borders on heretical is like saying he boarders on being a non-believer. You either are or you aren't.

Not anymore. In his new edition and videos he repented of that false teaching and stated that he was in error. He teaches faith alone for salvation now in all dispensations.

It depends on who has admin access to the YouTube channel. If he has admin access it’s super easy to change the video title. It only takes a couple minutes.

The thumbnail banner would be done during the video editing process, prior to upload. I would expect he’d have some say over titles, given that they represent his sermons.

Mind you, I am not really bothered by his titles, nor am I trying to put him down. I know I referred to them as “click-baity,” but I actually kind of get a kick out of them! They make me chuckle. I guess I’m odd, that way!

I would just think that he wouldn't have time for that. But yeah, I get a kick out of them too.

I'll have to check him out again. I do know he was teaching that two different gospels were being preached at the same time in Acts like EW Bullinger and Cornelius Stam taught and he was actually rebuked by Peter Ruckman for this because it was "hyper".

But different ways of salvation during DIFFERENT DISPENSATIONS is no doubt the truth.

Scripture for a statement like this is always welcome rather than just an opinion.

SureWord · August 15, 2020

Luke 18:31-34

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Romans 16:25-26

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

You can't believe on something when God has hidden it from you and you sure won't be washed by the blood when the blood hasn't been shed no matter what Calvin says with his silly teachings.
