This is Bibleline, we’re coming to you live from Campo Florida, from our studios, you sure? Okay, we had something happening here with our transmission, but we are now, I think, loud and clear, so we invite you to give us a call here at Bible and we have lots of questions to answer off here.

We’ll try to get to some of those. And of course, this is Friday. If you’d like to join us for our worship service on Sunday, you can do that by clicking on the camera on our home page. So if you’ll do that, Just go to the home, rather BibleLineMinistries.org, click on the camera. If you do that 11 o’clock Sunday morning, you’ll catch the worship service live, and of course you can always catch the programs in our tribe and we have a years worth of sermons there waiting for you.

We are Living in the most exciting time the Lord could come back this coming week on the Feast of Trumpets Which will be Tuesday and Wednesday of this following week, and we hope that you’ll Be alert to that from the Bible. Of course whether you’re alert or not whether you’re Paying attention or not paying attention if you’re a believer you’re gonna be raptured Every believer is going to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and that’s gonna be a great event But while we’re watching, boy, we have the signs of the times everywhere in the news, don’t we?

Definitely, our world is not the same and is changing rapidly and I think we’re getting very close to when the Lord is going to come. I don’t know what year is coming, but he could come this year, wouldn’t that be something if you and I were part of that group that will be simply caught up to meet the Lord in the air. If you are a believer, then the Bible tells us that we ought to be setting our affection on things that are heavenly.

Let’s turn to the book of Colossians chapter 3. And it says, If you then be risen with Christ, the Bible talks about believers being placed into the body of Christ. And that happens at the moment of belief and this is the operation that happens at the moment. He is the Lord of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Every believer has this, and you are placed into a body of Christ, and then whatever happened to Christ’s body is what happened to you as far as God is concerned.

So that means you were crucified with Christ and you were buried with Christ and you were resurrected with Christ. And here it talks about if you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above. So this is referring to every believer. So we have every believer in the body of Christ and crucified, buried, resurrected, ascended and seated in heavenly places in Christ. So then it says, set your affection, this is Colossians 3-2, on things above and not on things on the earth.

So we’re to set our affection on things above which are heavenly things. While we’re here on the earth, we obviously are passing through, but our real treasures should be heavenly treasures and our desires should be on heavenly things so that we are going through this world recognizing that we are just passing through. Our purpose while we’re here is to influence this world for Christ. That means to bring people to a saving knowledge of Christ by our witness and by our sharing of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Every believer can do that and every believer ought to be doing that. And it tells us here in verse 3 going back to the same thought, for you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. Every believer is guaranteed to go to heaven. Every believer will be there forever. Now some people keep bringing up the question, well what about if you sin as a believer?

And the answer is, of course, we will sin. But if you deliberately sin or live in deliberate sin, God is going to thank you. And that means he’s going to discipline your life. And you’ll find that there are numerous examples in the Bible of that. If you read 1 Corinthians, it sure talks about a lot of them. In chapter 10, it gives us a number of illustrations. And in one case there are 23,000 Christians that are taken home to heaven early because of sin in their life.

Wow, isn’t that amazing? So obviously you can be taken out. In 1 Corinthians 5 there is a man who is living in Fortication with his mother. He’s proud, he’s puffed up, he’s a believer, and apparently he’s not going to stop. Paul says in verse 5 of 1 Corinthians 5 to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. So there you have it. Here this man was turned over to Satan to take his body, to take his life, but yet he would be saved one day when we stand before the Lord.

He will be there in a brand new body, just like us. But He will have been taken home early, and I am sure, suffer loss of reward at the judgment seat of Christ. And you have so many illustrations in the New Testament of believers being taken out prior to when they should have gone to heaven. Ananias is the fire in Acts chapter 5. The Lord took them out almost immediately. They died as believers. and they were taken to heaven early and the Bible promises that every believer can be absolutely assured of going to heaven from the moment you trust the Lord.

But you might get there earlier. God wants you to live a life that he can bless, that he can reward. And unless you’re living that life, he’s going to interfere. But God doesn’t interfere in the life of an unbeliever. If you’re an unbeliever, you can seemingly live as you please and get away with it because God does not interfere in how you are living your life. So obviously as a believer, we want to be faithful and serve and live for Christ, not because we’re worried about whether we’re going to be saved or not, but because we don’t want to displease the Lord and we certainly don’t want to have Him have to spank us or or disappointed.

And we certainly don’t want to lose the loss of reward that we as a believer could have if we only trusted him as our Savior. So we’re excited about the fact that you’re saved and now you can concentrate your life on sharing the gospel with those that are lost as you pass through this world. our sights ought to be on heaven. And one day hopefully having all of our loved ones and friends there in heaven with us as we attempt to leave them to Christ while we’re here.

It is God’s plan for you and me to lead our families to Christ and our loved ones, our children, make sure that they’re all saved and we need to work on that. We have a great book here called Handbook to Personal Evangelism which tells you exactly how to be able to I share that gospel with somebody who is in your family or somebody who’s in a cult, somebody who’s an agnostic or an atheist, and it gives you the one-on-one conversation on how to be able to talk to them and lead them to Christ.

You might want to decide to get that. I’m Dr. Hank Lindstrom. We’re going to go to the phone lines. We have a lot of them lighted up here. We have a skip in Clearwater. We’re going to go to him first. But the phone number is 1-800-576-3771 and skip, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Good morning, Dr. Hank. I have a question about 1 John 3, like verses 6 through 8. We’re saying he’s still over a buyer for him, send us not.

Right, those are seeming difficult but actually is talking there about the new birth.ATURES And once you become born again, you have a birth that is not capable of sinning. At the same time, we have an old nature that desires the sin and if you read chapter 1, chapter 1 verse 8, it almost seems like a contradiction because over there it says if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. But then if you look at 1 John 3 9, it says, who’s whoever is born of God that’s not commits sin?

For God’s seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he’s born of God. So there we have have noticed God’s seed dwelling in the believer and this is the brand new birth that we have which is born of God which is a sinless nature that is not capable of sinning at all. And in contrast we have the old nature inherited from Adam that continues to sin. So the Bible here is contrasting the two and as a believer the new nature is not capable of committing any sins.

So it’s pointing out really you’re living in the flesh if you are sinning because it’s your old nature that is the cause of sin. Your new nature is not capable of sinning at all. In Ephesians there’s a great passage there where it talks about the two and it talks about us making the choice in our life as to which nature is going to be the dominant nature and how that we ought to, like as we put on clothing, put on the new nature, which is the new birth.

That it tells us is sinless and perfect, and we’re to put off the old nature or take that the suit of clothes off and put it in the closet. Let me read it to you. It says in Ephesians 4 in verse 22 that you put off concerning the former manner of life, old nature, the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lust. So here talks about the old nature being corrupt and it’s corrupt according to the deceitful lust.

But then it says in verse 24 that we should put on the new man which is that new nature discussed there in 1 John chapter 3 which after God has created in righteousness and true holiness. So the new nature is created in righteousness, true holiness. It says it is not capable of in chapter 3 verse 9 of first time of sinning. It cannot sin because it is God Himself’s nature and therefore we have this conflict as a believer throughout our life between the old and new natures.

Thank you sir. You are sure welcome. Thank you Skip and Clearwater and that is what is talking about in chapter 3 is the new nature chapter 1, the old nature. We have an anonymous caller from Tampa and Mr. Anonymous. Welcome to Bibleline. Hi. Yes, hi, Pastor. Good morning. God bless you. I have a question. I actually have to question. I’m going to be brief. Where is that? Economic collapse. almost looming for the world for the entire world. We have a lost one that is still not safe.

Should we make something in writing for them, or of course the Bible, but should we make something in writing for them to find out besides the will and the Bible? I think it’s a great idea. We have a number of people in my church that have done that done that where they have where they’re their valuable papers are should they disappear at the rapture that their family members would come looking maybe for them and find the papers and hopefully a letter telling their testimony and where, what has happened?

And I think it’s a great idea to let them know that if I have disappeared along with many others, it’s because I’m a believer and here’s what happened, I trusted Christ and I encourage them to trust the Lord as their In fact, we have a person working with the radio right now that wrote a 26-page letter he’s left everywhere for people to read should he disappear if the word comes this year. Oh, that’s a great idea because I am very nervous for Dan and I’m really, really kind of upset because I was thinking what should I leave beside the Bible and the will.

So it’s a good idea to write in a letter and some people leave a little tape recording they leave a little cassette or they Even make a little video nowadays is so easy to make a video. They send our camera and they say look Here you’re watching me But and I’m telling you that I’m a believer and and should I disappear this? Video will explain what happened to me. Oh Oh, okay. Thank you, Pastor. I have one second question.

Just a day’s brief too. On last month, someone asked you about the beginning of the world. You said that 65,000 years ago, and asked you where he did the earth. And then you continue, but it was kind of linked to the Bible, if I understand, to the first page of the Bible. Bible. And I was looking but there is nothing in the Bible on place and you know, a forty and I will hang up and let you answer. Thank you.

You’re welcome. Actually, in Isaiah 4518, you have to to make this connection between that and Genesis 1-2. It says in Genesis 1-2 that the earth became without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. We believe that’s the result of a judgment upon the earth because of Satan’s rebellion in attempt to overthrow God as we believe all the angels lived on that original earth and how Satan or Lucifer rounded up a third of them to leave the earth and try to overthrow heaven.

Now, in Isaiah chapter 45 verse 18 it talks about the Lord that created the heavens and the earth. He created them perfect. So he didn’t create them imperfect as we find them in Genesis 1-2. It also says there he created them inhabited. Then it says also he did not create them void, and the word void is the same word in the Hebrew translated vain in Genesis 1-2. So we learn according to Isaiah 45-18 that God did not create the earth the way we find it in verse 2.

So apparently there was a judgment that came along that destroyed the earth. Now Jeremiah 4 also is a passage where God takes Jeremiah back to that event when it took place and Jeremiah says for lo and behold I beheld the earth and it was without form and void and he describes a judgment that occurred on that original earth by the anger and fierceness and wrath of Almighty God himself that came upon the earth because we We believe of Satan’s sin.

So God judged the earth and Satan and his angels. And we don’t know when, but if you go to what NASA says, they tell us that the dinosaurs were actually destroyed 65 million years ago. You see it all the time now in print and you hear it all the time. This apparently is a consensus that when this asteroid, and if you look at that round circle area of the Yucatan Peninsula in the Gulf. This asteroid had a diameter of about 150 miles.

That’s a big piece of rock. And they tell us that when it struck, it threw up so much debris into the Earth’s atmosphere that it shut off the sun’s light for millions of years and we find that. Genesis 1-2 says, darkness was upon the face of the deep. So we find life destroyed and darkness coming. And if you match up with what NASA says, that was 65 million years ago. The last phrase in Genesis 1-2 says the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

That word moved is a Hebrew word that means to incubate or to brood upon. brood upon. It’s the same word used of a mother hen sitting on the eggs and incubating them and getting them ready to hatch out. In any case, it tells us basically the Holy Spirit apparently warmed up the earth, thawed it out from the ice ages, and prepared it for life again. And then in seven days, the earth was made inhabitable once again, and this man is put on the planet.

So we believe in a very old Earth and Earth created in the beginning, who knows how long ago that was, millions, maybe billions of years ago, and then a recent destruction of that Earth, maybe 65 million years ago, and then rather recently seven or 6,000 years ago that God then recreated or remade the Earth for life during those seven days and you read about it in Genesis chapter one. So that is not a description of the creation day by day.

That’s a description of how the earth was reappointed for a new purpose with man being the one that was on the planet. I hope that helps and thank you so much for that call. We now have Dan in Holiday, Florida. Dan, welcome to Bibleline. You’re on the air. Good morning Dr. Lynch. Good morning sir. My question is, is when did Christ start his ministry and approximately what age were they? Okay, easy to answer. Christ started his ministry when he was water baptized by John Nabaptis.

If you read Luke chapter 3, it tells us he was about 30 years of age when that took place. And that was absolutely in line with the Old Testament type. The priest in the Old Testament when he was thirty was then consecrated by a full baptism, a full immersion. And so when Jesus came to John to be baptized, he said that he was fulfilling all righteousness. So apparently Christ was thirty, and now he began his earthly ministry, he was being consecrated for that service by this total immersion, this baptism, and John the Baptist was the baptizer.

And so there you have when he began, and before that he had no ministry. He did no miracles. All of the ministry of Christ began from that point of forward. Well I appreciate that doctor. Hopefully he takes us home this year, but I hope you have a blessing day. Thank you so much. He might. Who knows? It might be something. We have Barbara in Riverview, Florida and Barbara, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Good morning, Dr. Hank. Good morning.

I’d like to thank you for the program and your answering of many questions that many of us don’t have the answers to and I have one now. Do you think this current financial situation could possibly be a preliminary to the anti-cryve step it up? Or whether you think it can mean? Is there anything in the battle that we could look to? All right, I think absolutely it is, and it provides us, that’s the stage for the Antichrist to come on as a savior to solve the problems of this world.

And it’s just amazing to watch this happen. You know, this is similar to other times in history when the Bible talked about some great event taking place, But here we have the whole world. Look at the problems with incurable diseases. We have weather patterns changing in all kinds of floods and fires and other disasters. We just had this big hurricane that swept across the United States hitting Texas a week ago. And we have cyclones out in the Pacific and the West.

We’ve had the tsunamis in the past few years. We have earthquakes and diverse places. We have famines developing in many parts of the world and wars and rumors of wars and the Middle East being the center of the focus today with all the problems there. And now we have this worldwide financial collapse. It’s the beginning of the establishment, I believe, of a one-world government and a one-world religion. And one world leader, which will be the Antichrist, I think we’re getting very, very close.

And in Ezekiel, it talks about that money would become worthless. That they’d begin to throw their monies in the streets because their gold and their silver wouldn’t help them anymore. Got a run that looks like the clock is telling us the first half hours about over. The main Bibleline is listeners support it. If you would like to help us, we could really use your help. We’re closing out September and we could use your help to be able to make sure that all of our bills are paid for as we finish out September.

And God bless all of you who do give and do pray. If you’d like to give a gift, you can call and offer to give it by credit card over the phone or call an astronomical reset and you can mail us a gift here at Bibleline. I hope you are saved. I hope you’ve trusted the Lord. If the rapture were to happen, you wouldn’t want to be left behind. That’s for sure. We’re going to take a short break. We’re going to come right back and do a second half hour of Bibleline.

And so I want you to stay tuned right where you are and I’ll be right back. I’m Dr. Englinson. We’re going to take a short break. I’ll be right back. So go go away. Don’t go away. Bibleline will be back in a moment. Give us a call at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Alright, I’m Dr. Engleinscherman. It’s great to be with you and we appreciate all of you listeners and we’d love to have you join us every day Monday through Friday, every week, and you can do that by not only going to the radio broadcast but you can go to the internet and catch our programs 24-7.

So I might try it over the weekend because you’ll be able to catch all of our radio programs. You’ll be able to connect or rather connect to our worship services and you may not have a church to attend but you can attend our church service on Sunday if you’ll only go to BibleLineMinistries.org and click on the camera. If you click on the TV set, you’ll get our TV program and the one we’re running right now on the internet is how old is the earth?

We just had the question asked about that and you can watch a full-length presentation which covers a lot of the scriptures point out that the earth is very old but Adam and have only been here since about 6,000 years ago. If you would like to go to Israel with us, if we’re still around, we’ll go next February and that brochure is called and asking, we’ll mail it right out to you and you’ll be able to make a decision maybe to go ahead and go with us on that wonderful trip.

Also, we want you to know that you can Access our Resource Center online Bibleline Ministries that org and go to the online bookstore and you’ll have all of our resources If you want to resource sheet sent to you You can call and ask for that to be done No, send it out pretty charged, but also you can just order directly over the phone with our operators and you can also come by and see us if you’re in the area.

But if you’re in another city, then check that out. We also want you to know that we’re listeners supported and we depend upon our listeners. There’s no other way that we pay our bills. We trust totally for God to raise up people who are like-minded, that want to see this message get out that Bible and proclaims, and they would help us financially. So if you do want to be one of our partners, that would be great because we do need your help to be able to do that.

And obviously, this is a difficult time with our financial world collapsing around us. We’re praying that Bible Anne will not be hurt by that. So you pray for us too. Maybe you could give a gift to help us here as we close out September. We’re going to return the stations that have been on break and do the second half hour of Bible Anne. So keep your radio tuned right where it is. And here we go. Would you like to call Bibleline and ask Dr.

Lindstrom a question? You can. Just pick up your phone and dial 1-800-576-3771. Now here again is Dr. Hank Lynch from All right, we’re back from that break and this is Bibleline and it’s wonderful to be with you. And we have people calling in from all over the country wanting to get up on the air with us and we’ll try to take as many of those as we can. We might try to catch a couple of air questions here as well.

And some of you’ve been patiently waiting a long time, I think, for those who get answered. And while we’re living in an amazing time, look at this financial unraveling here in our country. It’s not just America, it’s worldwide. And I think we are seeing the signs of the times of the Lord’s return. He’s coming, and whether he comes this year, next year, the year following, I don’t know, but we’re getting close and it wouldn’t surprise me if he showed up this year and took us believers out of here, wouldn’t that be something?

I’m ready. Next Tuesday and Wednesday are the two days celebration called the Feast of Trumpets. And that’s the most reasonable day according to scriptures for the Lord to come and snatch us out. So you might be watching Tuesday and Wednesday and the Lord might catch us all out and I’ll just meet you in the air. And we’ll be by the line in heaven. All right. And that’ll be a lot of fun. We’re gonna go to Huntington, West Virginia, and we have Henry on the air and Henry welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air And then get off and listen to your comments.

The God’s Great Nation is the greatest Christians in the Bible while referring to his repeat against them. I know it’s become very popular today. So, I’ll just hang out for a few questions. Okay Cremation will not affect your salvation whatsoever when you die your absent from the body presid with the Lord and this body will return back to dust from which it came. And in the Old Testament there were times when those who cremated were making a statement. They were saying they didn’t believe in life after death whereas the Jewish people would bury the body as a testimony of the fact they believed in the resurrection.

And we find that even Joseph, remember when he was in Egypt, asked his brothers to promise that when they were delivered out of Egypt by the Lord that they would carry his bones out of Egypt and bury him in the Promised Land. And of course that’s exactly what happened hundreds of years later. The bones of Joseph were carried back to Israel and I’ve been there to where his body is buried. And he’s buried in Israel. And you know, it’s interesting that most Jewish people, when they have a general, like to be buried on Israeli soil.

And the way they do that in America here is most every funeral home can supply, if they ask, for a little pillow that they put into the head of the deceased that’s filled with soil from Israel. they actually are buried on this really soul even though they’re buried here in America. But there’s that connection to the resurrection and to the land of Israel. But in any case it wouldn’t matter either way. There are those that are cremated accidentally. They’re caught in a fire or an explosion or a bomb and their bodies are destroyed and yet they’ll still get their resurrection bodies in heaven one day.

I personally want to be buried, but I think many people today because of the economics, it’s so expensive to be to perform a burial today that they’re obviously not able to afford it. So I do a number of cremations all the time, but it doesn’t affect their salvation. If they were making a statement one way or another, then the negative statement of cremation would be no resurrection but I don’t think anybody is making that statement today. So Harry I don’t think it’s a problem and a lot of people are doing it because of the economics but as long as you get a preacher to preach your saved and you’re going to get a new body and you believe in the resurrection, I think you are making the correct statement.

I have a question. First of all, I’d like to thank the Lord for you and your ministry. We’re now going to go to Johnny in Tampa, Florida, and Johnny, welcome to Bibleline You’re on the air. I have a couple of questions. One concerning the water and the wine at the wedding feast. into wine absolutely okay that was the first miracle and it happened right there at cana in Galilee okay thank you I had a discussion with a friend of mine the other day and he descended he did not turn water into wine he just told him to drink the water but I believe I had read that it’s pretty clear I’m one of those people who wrote a letter that said this and this is what it is.

That’s right. That’s what it is. But the spirit will lead you and let you know if it’s not. We gave that I go there, you know, and teach him from your ministry and several other ministries. So I have these monies. I have a certain mind that I set aside for my weekly, my weekly earnings, but then there’s my monthly earnings. my monthly earnings and I think I should, you know, I mean I get a check. You know. Sure. So I think I should split this monthly check up between the other countries that I’m being ministered.

I think that’s legitimate. Sure. Because it’s really where you’re being fed, where you’re being blessed. And instead of you’re being blessed and God wants you to help those ministries to continue. Yeah. that’s what i’m going to do i’m going to speak it up because i think that i’m pretty sure that your teaching is biblical and uh… that’s how it’s really me and that’s that’s where i’m going to go i think it is going to do you have any talking books we have uh…

the uh… resource sheet you can call and ask for to be sent to you just call right after the show and will be right out to you. We also have a lot of CDs which are my explaining scriptures, different books in the Bible. We have, for example, Romans, the Gospel of John, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, the Book of Jude, so many. And so you might want a lot of people to use those to learn by and also to facilitate a class.

So in a sense they’re like talking books, but I’m the guy teaching. Okay. And you might enjoy getting one of those series and try it out. I thought I would just feel something about 10, 10, 10 teachers that you had put together. 40 teachings and they’re at least 10 hours each. Okay. So yeah, if you get one of them, you’ll have 10 to 12 hours of teaching on CD. Okay. Well, the Lord of the United Way and the Spirit always their witness with what you stand right So I will call the National Resource Resource sheet and all of these things are on the resource.

Yes. They are, huh? Okay. All right, but I do thank you Word. Thank you very much. Thank you Johnny. We’re now gonna go to Joe in Clearwater and Joe welcome To Bible and you’re on the air Hi, Pastor and for sharing it with us as well as you do every day I have one quick question of when we receive our resurrection bodies as believers Yes, absolutely It’ll be like the Lord’s body, you know when Christ came back he came back in a physical body in Luke 24 He told them to handle him and touch him for a spirit have that flesh and bones as you see me have So Christ came back in a little physical body.

He ate in that body he was they touched him and they heard him and they saw him and in first John John the apostle says that we actually handled of the very word of life they got the touch human, highly men. And embrace him after the resurrection which was exciting. Again, that’s just extraordinary good news we received from the Lord. I thank you for answering that best rank. You are very welcome. And look at Luke 24 and the example is that of Christ’s body, and the Bible says in the first period of these 15 that we’ll get a resurrection body like Christ’s resurrection body, so that tells us a lot.

Thank you so much and we’re now going to take a maybe a couple of off-air questions and if you want to call in in the meantime the number is one eight hundred five seven six three seven seven one we have Rob in Sarasota Florida and he says we’re in the New Testament does it say that a woman is not to teach or preach and the answer is first Timothy chapter two so if you have your Bible there, you can write this passage down and look it up.

But it says in Timothy, and I’m turning there in my Bible. I’m almost there. It says in 1 Timothy chapter 2, and I went right by it, and I’m going to come back down here. Hold on one second. And this is 1 Timothy Chapter 2, it says in verse 11, let the women keep learning and silence in all suggestions. In verse 12 says, I suffer not a woman to teach nor do you serve authority over the man but to be in silence.

So the Bible is pretty clear that the woman is not to be a teacher or preacher, elder or deacon in the Bible. And, Rob, I hope that helps answer your question. It’s first Timothy, chapter 2, verses 10 through 15 in particular. We have Sandy in St. Petersburg, and Sandy says, in Jeremiah 19, 5, please clarify why it says you’re never crossed God’s mind. And basically it’s an expression that God’s mind ever went that direction in connection with that particular thought that’s being expressed there.

So we get that similar expression that never crossed my mind. And a lot of these expressions come right out of the Bible that we use in society all the time. Like the handwriting is on the wall. It comes from Daniel and the Lord’s finger writing a message on the wall. in the palace or in Babylon and so on. So these are the questions from the Bible. The apple of his eye, that’s a reference to Israel. And you see that in the Old Testament where God said those that touch Israel are touching the apple of God’s eye.

Maria in Tampa Florida calls in, leaves us off her question. If a child under the age of accountability can still trust Christ as their Savior and be saved. Well, that’s a good question. It may not be that they would understand the gospel until they become of the age of accountability, but I think as parents or grandparents, we need to be aggressive and try to talk to them about the Lord long before they reach that age. Planning seed and talking to him about the Lord.

I know my daughter would be in the radio studio here with me many times when I was preaching or giving the Bible and programs and she was pregnant and I know the granddaughter was hearing Bible and before she was ever born While she was in the room so she got a lot of Bible and and of course I think has been quick to pick up on the trees and that’s probably part of it We have Larry in st. Petersburg and Larry Welcome to Bibleline After I go after about the Trinity What was a little confused on that is the is God’s of thought I mean are all three parts of the God is Your car your something or I’m in The co-equal he each one is equal Christ is God and the whole spirit is God and the Father’s God and they’re all equal to one another.

Now each one has a different role that they play and the father is obviously the plays the role of the father and is a decree maker oftentimes. Jesus Christ is the actual one who carries it out who actually came to the earth and took an even body and went to the cross and the Holy Spirit of course is the He says, in Genesis 1 and 1, in the beginning God, the word God there is Elohim, which is plural and the Hebrew, which means all three members of the Godhead were involved.

and in the creation of the man where God says in Genesis 1 26 and God said let us make man in our image after our likeness all free involved in the creation of man and we are also a triune being body soul and spirit just as God is a triune being. The other part is, you know, sometimes the other part is that it somehow Jesus thing to be, the one in the main hand in creation. He spoke in the universe.

I mean, Jesus the actual creation of the universe. All three. All three. All three. Yep. Every one of them were involved in the creation and obviously where every one of them was involved in the creation. and obviously wherever you look you’ll see that the three work together and obviously all three were involved in as I said a moment ago in the creation of the universe but also in the creation of man. Let us make man in our image after our likeness in Genesis 1, 26.

That was the whole of the Godhead there involved in the creation of man. How about when Jesus says… He said, you know, no one comes to the Father but by peace. Yeah, we’ve thought, no, it’s not going to apply to me that the Father somehow had a Supreme authority. Who are you talking about now, the fact that Jesus became also a man. So Jesus is a man. So Jesus is a man. So Jesus is not only God, but He’s also a man.

And it’s through the man Jesus that we approach God the Father because there had to be a sinless man who would die and pay for our sins so that we could have entrance to heaven. And obviously Jesus is the only sinless man who could come and pay for our sins. At the same time being God he could bake a payment for the sins of the whole human race. But there it’s talking about Jesus the man. A lot of times the scriptures will talk about the crucifixion and so on and focus on the fact that it was the man Jesus.

For example, even in prayer in 1 Timothy 2, 5, it says there’s one God and one media between God, the man Christ Jesus. So the one who mediated between men and God is God the man, which is Jesus as a man. So the Joe’s witnesses understand the humanity of Christ, but they clearly recognize his deity. He’s both. He’s God and man. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. You’re sure welcome and thank you for that call. We now have Brad in Clearwater Florida and Brad welcome to Bibleline.

You’re on here. Good morning. Good morning. I have a question for you. You had a caller about five minutes ago that asked you a question about women’s Women being pictures and pictures and I just want to get your viewpoint on how you feel about Women being Submitual teachers. So I think that was to your response by radio. Okay, the main thought there in Christianity 212 is that they not you serve authority over the man So in the church where there is male leadership and they are granted authority to teach children or teach a surgical class then I believe that they are not out of line.

Although I don’t believe that there should be a female teacher teaching a male group in the Church of adult men. I believe that we have a man, man, teacher teaching that. But otherwise, as long as they don’t usurp the authority and be the leader over the men, they certainly can be given permission to speak and to give testimony to teach a class and so on. So that’s certainly in line. We have Marilyn in Evansville, Indiana, who loses this off-air question.

She says, how can we let our unbelieving friends and relatives know where we will be going at the Russia? I would like to warn them so they could have a chance to go also. Well again, we would talk about that earlier about writing a testimony or or maybe leaving a cassette tape or making a video explaining it and then leaving that video in a place where it would be found by those that would come looking for you. And maybe find your important papers and put it with your important things and hopefully they would find it and play it.

And you would be able to explain to them where you’ve gone and why and how they need to trust the Lord of Savior. Great, great idea and surely should be done and I recommend it. So Marilyn, go ahead and do it. Maryland also says, will unbelievers hear the last trump at the rapture? The answer is, no they will not. Only the believers will hear that trump and will be caught up then of course to meet the Lord in the year.

The poem we’ll hear by the line is 1-800-576-3771, 1-800-576-3771. John in Grand Rapids, Michigan leaves this offer question, if the time of the Gentiles is indeed 2000 years, would the 2000 years start at the birth of Christ or after the death of Christ or at Pentecost? Well, the time of the Gentiles is longer than 2000 years, but the age of the Gentile church is about 2000. So that starts at Pentecost. The times of the Gentiles began with Nebuchadnezzar back in BC 606 and it actually runs right through the tribulation right up to the Second Coming.

And then there is the fullness of the Gentiles mentioned in Romans 1125 where the church age is completed, the last person is added to the body of Christ and up we go and we meet the Lord in the air. We now have Dave in St. Petersburg and Dave welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. I feel fantastic. I just have a comment and a question. You had a comment about the financial math area. You should probably read the Revelation chapter 18.

That’ll kind of explain what’s going to happen and the fiction is. You had a few channels on the Christian television network. These people all come over as corporate and noisy. Can you explain what that is? I think it’s something that may come again. The anointing according to 1 John 2 is the Holy Spirit himself and every believer receives that anointing. It tells us that in 1 John 2 that every believer has that anointing which is the Holy Spirit that comes into the believer and it tells us that we have the Holy Spirit in us, that the anointing is in us, and everybody be has it.

The charismatic seem to want you to feel inferior, I think, and they say something like incandent sending terms, have you received the anointing? And like you don’t have it, and wouldn’t you like to have it? And they know the secret is to how to get it. But everybody be has it, so it’s no big mystery. And if you read First John chapter 2 it mentions it several times and that every believer has the anointing which is God the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Dave and we now have Matthew in Tampa and Matthew welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Yes sir, how are you doing this morning? I want a quick question in regards to the rapture of listening to this morning. Well, that’s a great question. One every parent is frightened to deal with, I’m sure, but you just have to trust that the Lord is going to do the right thing. And I would just pray for your children and whatever you can do, this side of coming to know Christ to feed them with information, plant seed within them about Christ.

read scripture, play Christian music and you know provide the environment where they hear you talking about the Lord and All those things I think he’ll prepare the way for them to come to know the Lord as their Savior but We just have to trust the Lord. The rapture is obviously going to come boom and instantly and and It’s going to catch the world by surprise and and even though we’re looking I think a lot of us will be fed up cup by surprise as well So we’ll just be praying for you and your family and pray that the Lord is gonna do the right thing by your children Which I I believe you will Thank you, sir.

All right, and that was Matthew in Tampa. We have Millie in Miami, Florida Millie No, welcome to Bibleline Hi, I have a question about the seeds that were crucified with Christ. The gospel of Luke is the only one that claims that one of the seeds were painted and the other gospels don’t say that at all. My question is why is there a difference between those? Well, one seed, obviously, in the last moment realized that Jesus was the Savior and believed on Him.

I said, do Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom. And Christ said, today thou shall be with me in paradise. Boy, that was great. Luke 23, 43, look it up, Luke 23, 43.
