In the LAST DAYS there will be two classes of people. The WISE and the WICKED (Daniel 12:10). In the light of the imminent coming of Christ and impending judgment, God’s people will purify themselves from the religious programs of the world. While God’s people heed the signs of the times and prepare to meet the Lord, the world will drown itself in greater wickedness. While Christians recognize the signs of the times, the world will rush headlong into a godless disregard for the warnings of doom by the very inventions of man’s knowledge.

Welcome to Bibleline with Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Coming to you from Calvary Community Church in Tampa, Florida. Declaring God’s love through radio and television. Providing real answers to an ever searching world. Got a question? Dial toll free at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Now here’s the host of Bibleline, Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Good morning and welcome to Bibleline. I’m great to be with you today. Thanks for tuning in to the broadcast. We look forward to being with you each and every day as we come to you live from our studios right here in Tampa, Florida at the Calvary Community Church.
We’re on the pastor. We’d love to have you drop by and see us. We are open with our resource center every day from eight till about 4.30 in the afternoon, Eastern Standard Time. We also would love to have you come by on a worship day and we worship on Sundays at 10.30 in the morning, 6.2pm in the evening with Adult Education and Sunday School at 9.15pm and of course you can come by Wednesday night. But tomorrow night we have the last in this series of first and second Thessalonians that I’m teaching and if you come tomorrow night Tuesday night from 7 till 9pm you can get in on the last two class hours, class 9 and class 10 and we’ll finish up this series.
You can order the CD series by calling our operators and And this has been a spectacular series. It covers so many doctrines in these two short books in the New Testament, eight chapters total, but they cover everything from predestination and election and salvation and discipleship and evangelism and the rapture, the tribulation period, the second coming, the third temple, the Antichrist desecration of the temple, the Antichrist and his rise and his fall, the Second Coming of Christ and on and on and on.
It’s just loaded. It’s jam-packed. You’ll want to get the 10 CD series of First and Second Special Audience. We have a great time. We have a great crowd. Mostly men are coming and that is exciting for us to see men coming out to study the Word of God. Welcome to come and be my guest on the last two hours of teaching tomorrow night Tuesday night and that will be from seven to nine. If you are in driving distance, come on and come.
The third Sunday of August we are having a dinner day. We always do that and it is a nice day to drive in from a distance and have worship with us at 10.30. Stay for the dinner and it is always great. Some wonderful cooking, great home cook food. We will have a great time of food and fellowship. But this time we’re having a baptism at 3 in the afternoon and so you can really make it a day. If you have not been water baptized since you’ve been saved then you ought to do that.
And we would be very honored to be the one to baptize you if you’d like to be a part of this service and that will be on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Come to the morning service, come and stay for dinner. Then we will motorcade up a little bit north of where we are here at the church to a beautiful lake setting and there we’ll have the baptism at about three. If you call, you can get your name on the list.
We can also give you directions so you can just meet us there if you like. But in any case, we’d love to have you be a part of that baptismal service. We have people coming from distances to come and be a part of this. And so we hope that you will too. Pure Baptize as an infant doesn’t count. No such thing in the Bible is infant baptism. amazing how many churches practice infant baptism when there is no scripture to support such a thing.
Also if you were baptized before you were saved, that doesn’t count because baptism is a testimonial of how you were saved and how you are cleansed of your sin by the blood of Christ and if you weren’t even saved then obviously you weren’t giving testimony to anything. And so join us if you would for this baptism if you’d like. bring your friends and relatives, bring the cameras and we’ll have a wonderful time. And this is Bibleline, I’m Dr. Englunds from our phone number is 1-800-576-3771, 1-800-576-3771.
We are streaming right now this program to the internet. You can catch us live right now by going to BibleLineMinistries.org.com. Click on the little TV set in the upper right hand corner and you’ll be really faced with a page that has on the left TV, on the right radio. It has the archives on both sides and the live show available. So you might want to check that out and you can go right now to the radio program in here live wherever you might be on the Earth.
We have two more countries added. Now we have 142 countries now that have logged in on the internet since last year. And the latest two are Grenada in the Caribbean and Laos in the Far East. And so we are seeing countries all over the world, logging in on the Bibleline website. That is exciting. If you have your Bible, get it out. We’ll take a look at a couple of verses. Then we’ll go to the phone lines and hopefully we’ll be able to get you up on the air today and get that number down, 1-800-576-3771.
That’s 1-800-576-3771. We know that Israel is going through a very difficult time right now, but according to scripture, it’s going to get worse for Israel. sad to say and sad to think about, but truly this is a time the Bible has predicted. The Bible said the Jewish people would go back to the state of Israel after being dispersed for two thousand years around the world, among the nations of the world. That happened once Christ was rejected the first time God brought judgment against the nation of Israel and scattered them around the world.
The Bible said that for two thousand years God would turn to the Gentiles and we Gentiles have had the privilege of being God’s witnesses for the past two thousand years. At the conclusion of this Gentile Age, God said he would bring the Jewish people back into their land. That’s already happened as of May 14, 1948. And we know that once they would come back and become a nation again. In Isaiah, it talks about a nation being born in a day.
Wow, incredibly May 14, 1948. Boom, here comes a nation in into existence out of seemingly nowhere when the Jewish people had no homeland for two thousand years. What a modern day miracle we have seen because this involves millions of people over thousands of years and no other people have ever survived and been able to retain their national identity without a homeland. And so we are seeing a modern day miracle today, the very fact that the Jewish people exist and are in that land that God once gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a modern day miracle, one of the greatest proportions.
In fact, if you say that you need to see a miracle to be able to believe the Bible, well, there is no greater miracle than that. You know, even in the Old Testament, God said that the miracle of the coming out of Egypt, which was spectacular, the 10 plagues dividing of the Red Sea in the Old Testament was something quite remarkable. And the Bible tells us that in the latter days that the Jewish people will know more say the Lord has taken us up out of the land of Egypt, but they will say the Lord has taken us up from the North country and from all the countries of the world and brought us back into our own land.
In other words, what is happening right now is much more spectacular and a greater miracle by far than the miracle of God delivering the nation of Israel out of the land of Egypt. I’ll tell you, we ought to stand up on our feet and get excited because we are living in a time when biblical prophecy is becoming a regular routine thing. We are watching it happen as we watch our evening news. And Israel is going to be a persecuted nation.
Jesus said in Matthew 24, all nations actually will hate Israel. And we are seeing it every day. Look at the hatred spewing out of the mouths of different leaders of different countries and the peoples who are marching and protesting against Israel and the hatred seems to be growing. Well, once the rapture happens, which by the way could happen at any time, you and I who are believers in Jesus Christ will be snatched up and be a part of a group that will never die.
We will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and from that point on forever be with the Lord. Isn’t that exciting? I’m excited. I can’t wait. And it could be this year. I’m not saying it is this year. Roll back that tape and listen to me again. I did not set a date. I’m not a date setter. But you know, he could come this year. Wouldn’t that be something if Christ came? And if he does, it’ll probably happen on the Feast of Trumpets.
Why? Because the feast day is a God gave to Israel where all prophetic pictures of the two comings of Christ. And the first four feasts that talked about the first coming of Christ were all fulfilled literally on the day. On the day. Christ died as the Passover lamb exactly when Israel was offering up her Passover lamb at the Passover. Crisis buried in the Feast of Edelwald and Bread, Christ rose from the dead on the Feast of First Roots Day.
The fourth feast right on that very day, the Holy Spirit came and this church age began. And the next feast that will end this age, in the church age, I believe is the Feast of Trumpets, which is Rosh Hashanah this year, September 22nd. Are you getting up on your tippy toes? Have you done any rapture practice? I’m teasing, of course. But what you do is you kind of roll back and forth on your feet between your toes and your heel and kind of flap your arms a little bit, get loosened up and get ready to go.
People tell me that they’ve been doing that rapture practice. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you do it or not. If you’re a believer, you’re going up. That’s right. There’s nothing that can keep you territe. We could tie chains around you and anchor you to some big rock or some mountain and you’d still go up because nothing will prevent you. If you’re inside a building, you’ll go right through the ceiling. You won’t even bump your head. Wouldn’t that be exciting?
Now you don’t have to worry about the details about how God will do that. He’ll just simply snatch you out as a believer. You’ll be transformed into your new body on the way up. Are you getting excited? I hope you are. I hope you’re getting ready to just lift off and we don’t know when he’s coming but it could be this year and if it is it’ll be September 22. Interesting things are happening. No doubt about it. We know that once the Rapture happens then things will obviously get worse over the following seven years for Israel, including another Holocaust which we tragically just shudder to think that such a thing could ever happen again.
How could man do such things as we saw what Hitler did now some 50 years ago, but here we come now on another Holocaust. This one will make Hitler look like a nice guy in comparison. Antichrist will be ruthless and will attempt to kill every Jew on the face of the planet earth. But you know Israel will survive. Israel will survive. That is God’s promise. And God said that he will bring them through the fires of the tribulation period.
And he will establish them as the head nation at the second coming when Christ will rule the earth from Jerusalem. That’s right Jerusalem will become the world’s capital, not Moscow, not Washington, D.C. not London, not Rome, not some other city around the world, it will be Jerusalem that will be the city. And look at how the Middle East and Jerusalem is in the news every day. It’s exciting because we know that’s what the Bible said would happen. And we’re watching it happen on our television screens.
I’m Dr. Hank Lindstrom, this is Bible, and I certainly hope you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior. If you haven’t, you’re really living risky because if the rapture were to happen, you’d be left behind, chances are in the delusion that Satan will bring to the world, you would not trust Christ and you would be eternally lost and that would be a tragedy. Also, you would go through some awful, awful trials and tribulations and judgments that God will bring upon this earth during that time.
But let’s talk about the other scenario. If you die without Christ, then you go to hell and you don’t want that to happen to you. You don’t have to go to hell. Jesus Christ died for you. He paid for your sins at the cross by his death in shed blood. He was buried. He rose again from the dead when you trust that he did that for you. God says that he forgives you. You become a child of God and you can be assured of going to heaven.
It is wonderful, wonderful news. That’s why the Bible calls it the gospel. The word gospel is an English Saxon word that means good news. It is good news. I remember a few years back I was teaching a Bible study and as I went over the plan of salvation some lady in the back said that’s good news and everybody broke into applause because they realized she had understood the gospel right there on the spot and she trusted Jesus Christ as her Savior.
Well we are excited about the fact that the Lord is coming back. We are excited about hearing from many of you that have told us you have trusted the Lord through Bibleline. We had a family come visit us all the way from Miami in our worship services yesterday. People are coming from distances to visit to say hi and we just were so excited to meet them and I am so humbled that people would come to visit and see where Bibleline is coming from as they tell me they listen every day and they thought it was just wonderful to be able to come to the very place where Bibleline originates from.
Bible lines become a blessing to many people and we are so grateful to God for allowing that to take place. And if you get a chance to drop by sometime we would love to have you during the week. Our resource centers open every day till 4.30 in the afternoon and also you can always come by on a worship day. We’re going to go to the firm lines and by the way we have phone lines today, but we are still trying to get our equipment fixed.
We have a loner on our May not tell us unit which is allowing us to get up on the air with our colors and we’re gonna see what happens So if you want to dial in let’s go for it the number is maybe we’re discouraged last week not being able to get through But the number right now is one eight hundred five seven six three seven seven one So let’s see if we can’t begin to get some colors in today and take care of it Alright Jeff in Venice, Florida calls in off air says was it easier for Jesus not to sin since he did not have a sin nature.
Good question and I don’t really have a good answer for you, but we believe in the doctrine called the impeccability of Christ. That is, it was not possible for him to sin, so he could not have sinned. Yet the Bible tells us he was tempted in all things like as we are, but yet he was without sin. You remember Satan tempted him right after he was baptized by John the Baptist and there were three separate temptations, temptations that Adam and Eve had faced and failed, and temptations that we face in our lives and sometimes fail, but Jesus Christ did not fail.
And Jesus Christ was the sinless Lamb of God, and we believe He is not capable of sinning. That is called the theologically, the doctrine of the impeccability of Jesus Christ. So we’re going to go ahead and go to the phone lines here and we are excited that you’re perhaps going to be able to get through. We’re going to find out in just a moment. But we’re looking now to talk to Jeff in Palm Harbor, Florida and Jeff, welcome to Bible on your on the air.
Good morning. Good morning. for when Jesus was coming back. And without being facetious, the scripture says when Jesus was talking to the temple rulers for Jesus’ eyes, who is always writing in. He’s dealing out the walls of seven or eight walls. He’s holding you for this. Well, you for that. And he concludes that by saying that I’m leaving the temple now and I’m not coming back until you call upon the name of the Lord. And to me that says that’s when Jesus is coming back.
Jesus coming back when the Jewish people get their backs to the wall or the backs to the ocean. They wake up and they finally call upon the name of God and then they will be saved and that’s what’s going to all yield with. Let me use. We’ll get you out for a second. You’re absolutely right. Of course, the Rapture happens first and then during that seven years is when the 144,000 will evangelize and millions of Jewish people will get saved.
The blinders will come off their eyes and during the tribulation period, blessed to see the cometh in the name of Yeshua which in English is Jesus, then Christ will come back to the second coming to set up His Kingdom and the Jewish people will be set up as a head nation. about when Jesus is coming back to sort of the relevant. Of course, we all wanted to come back today. The other people say a lot of tribulation and they know they are fighting right now, they can’t possibly win the way they are fighting, so they are going to have to go up on the name of the Lord in 31 and this thing.
Amen. Thank you Jeff. Jeff in Palm Harbor Florida calling in and of course the Jewish people will. come to know Christ. Many of them will, a remnant will, during the tribulation period after the rapture. And what we see right now, we believe, let us know we got to be close. We’re seeing things that the Bible predicts for during that seven years happening right now. And we believe that it just isn’t like a light switch turned on. We believe there’s a transition which we have been watching now for quite a while, but it’s heating up and we believe that we’re actually now on the edge perhaps of that tribulation period where we believers are going to be going out of here at any moment.
We’re going to Richmond, Virginia and we have Jonathan on the air. Jonathan, welcome to Bibleline your own ear. Jonathan, you’re on the air actually doctor hank i hear someone else thought well i’ve you don’t listen to me but are you hearing a crossover some of the line all yet yeah i’m uh… i’m on the line all right go for it uh… i have a question about uh… as far as the way we have church structures do you believe that uh…
some in mourning uh… i know we have worship service and and uh… pray service But do you see more that maybe the church should be getting into reaching out to people who aren’t saved? And then scheduling another day, like pretty much like we do Bible study, to do teaching when you teach the thing, you know, to become better and how to go out and do other things. But it seems like it’s more preaching to the choir the way I see it structured.
I thought maybe you could enlighten me on the same that I think we’ve been doing. They belong to the right. Well, I think you’re absolutely right and the churches today are weak in the area of teaching in instructing people in the Word of God. You know, the early church was very dynamic because it says in Acts 2 42 that they continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine. That’s the Word of God. To be a disciple, to be able to be effective for Christ Christ says, if you continue in my Word, John 831, if you continue in my Word, if you continue in my Word, it’s not the word of God.
in my word, in my word, then you are indeed my disciples. So disciples are those who continue in the word and churches today are not teaching the word. So how in the world can they have a congregation of strong disciples, people that are effective in leading other people to Christ and standing tall for the truth in these days. And so this is the age of apostasy that the Bible talks about in 2 Timothy 4 where it says in verse 3, the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lust they will heap to themselves together teachers having ears that need to be tickled and they will turn away their ears from the truth and be turned on to fables, lies or fiction and we see it happening everywhere today.
People are looking to be entertained. They want their ears tickled and preachers are accommodating that and so we are getting less and less of God’s word today as we approach the end of this age and the rapture and the tribulation period that will follow. Jonathan, thank you for your call. That was Jonathan up in Richmond, Virginia. You’re welcome to call us at 1-800-576-3771. We want you to remember, tomorrow night, if you are in driving distance, come out and actually sit in the last two class hours, class nine and class ten, tomorrow night between seven and nine.
We’d love to have you. You’ll find it exciting. In fact, some of the discussions, believe it or not, continue. I leave, but some of the discussions continue to 2 and 3 in the morning. I mean, wow, I’ve had people tell us that they got into some exciting discussions about what they were learning in our church parking lot after the Tuesday night session. And apparently they’re out there half the night. I didn’t learn that till just a week ago. That’s the kind of fun we’re having where people just don’t want to go home They don’t want to quit and we’re having fun and I know everybody’s going to go through withdrawal when we finish tomorrow’s classes And of course in September we’ll offer some more we don’t know the titles yet But we’ll be announcing them of course wherever you might be listening to Bibleline you’ll be able to
of course Get the CD series we have a lot of them about 40 different ones I had a man come by this past week and he said he had to drive from Lakeland, Florida to Panama, Florida And he listened to my Revelations series on the way up and on the way back He got to finish the entire thing and he came over to get more to pass out to his friends And he said he learned so much on that trip that the trip just flew by Before he knew it he was there he was back and that’s exciting So you can take advantage of the CD series to learn while you’re maybe in your car I had another couple come by and said I’m having a CD player installed with my car Just so I can do what you’re talking about where I can listen to these
CDs about the Bible while I’m driving And I said that’s wonderful Yeah, they were gonna go right out and have a CD player installed apparently their car didn’t have one and so in any case You could buy these little inexpensive ones and just set it on the seat beside you and play it while you’re in your car But or in your home or wherever you might be but the CD players now are are becoming almost standard and very few people are using tape anymore.
Call us and maybe you might want to order this first and second Thessalonians said it will be complete tomorrow night. And then also you can order Revelation, Daniel, the book of Jude, the book of Romans, the book of Hebrews, lots of them that we’ve done recently. And these are all exciting studies. Plus our Sunday servants are available. That’s right, you can get all of the Sunday morning messages and lately because of what is happening in the Middle East with Israel.
We’ve been doing some prophetic themes which relate to the news right now as you watch the TV screen. I think you’ll find these all very dynamic and exciting and people can’t wait to get them right after our service is over. We have people wanting to get that Sunday message. So maybe you’d like to subscribe and it’s only $5 per CD plus the shipping and you can get the whole months on a regular basis shipped to your home for a very nominal fee and you might really want to try to do that.
And we welcome you to call that 1-800-number, 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Most important is that you trust Christ as your Savior. I want to say if you haven’t done so, stop. Lord I am a sinner. That’s just being honest with God. We’re all sinners. But God I trust right now Jesus Christ as the one who died on the cross of Calvary and paid for my sin by his death and shed blood. It was buried and rose again from the dead.
I trust Jesus Christ right now to save me. to forgive me, to give me the gift of everlasting life. The moment you do, the instant you do, you become saved. And if you’re looking for a feeling, you’re going to be disappointed. We’re never, never, never, never, ever told to look for a feeling in the Bible. You have God’s Word on it. He’s not going to lie. He’s not going to trick you. You could be assured of going to heaven from the very moment that you believe.
Do it right now. And God will save you. And then make that second choice to become a disciple, to live for Christ, to continue in the Word and grow. And it has nothing to do with your salvation. That is settled once you trust Christ. But it does bring about rewards and blessings which are earned. We’re going to be coming up here on our break time and I hope that you’ll keep your radio tuned right where it is. If your station doesn’t carry the second half hour of Bible on, you can go to the internet and you can catch it any time of the day and night but you can catch the full program.

While we’re about ready to do Bible End Part 2, we’re going to rejoin stations that have been on break. So keep your radio tuned right where it is and get ready.
We’re going to be right back in Do Bible End 2. Would you like to call Bible End and ask Dr. Lindstrom a question? You can. Pick up your phone and dial 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Now here again is Dr. Hank Lindstrom. All right, we’re back from that break, and this is Bible and it’s great to be with him. And again, we want you to know that tomorrow night. If you’re in driving distance, we have the last two class hours of the course that we’re teaching now on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.
We’re having an incredible time. We really are. And we’d love to have you sit in, be my classes class 9 and 10 are going to be done tomorrow night. Then the whole series will be complete. And wherever you are, you can call in and order that 10 CD series on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians. That’s right also coming up just a week from this Thursday over in Israel last Thursday the ninth of off Gershan Solomon hit in the temple Mount faithful who’s been cutting and preparing the stones for the third temple We’ll be actually leaving Israel later this week and be with us Thursday night the 17th of August Thursday night If you could come around 7, we’ll have him for a couple of hours, 7 till about 9.30.
You’re invited to come and hear Gershaun Solomon. If you live somewhere else, we will record it on audio and also on video and make that available on a DVD for you. But we will have Gershaun Solomon. He’s an unsaved, orthodox Jew. He believes the coming of the Messiah for the first time is ahead. that he will come back to a rebuilt temple. We believe that too that when Christ comes He comes back to the third temple which is going to be rebuilt right after the rapture.
But we believe Christ has already come once and is coming a second time. And I’ve told Gershan we’ve had him here before. I bold eyeball that Gershan you’ve lost. That you need to realize that your Messiah has already been here. But you know, this might be the man that will actually be the guy that God uses to build the third temple. Can you imagine that you might, if you are able to come, shake hands with, talk with, rub arms with, get to see here the presentation by the man that God may have raised up to build the third temple that Jesus Christ will come back to.
That’s exciting. And that will be August 17, Thursday night, a week from this Thursday. You’re welcome to come over and be a part of that. That’s at seven o’clock on Thursday, 17th of August. Wow, we have a lot of callers up on the line now. We’re just going to go right down to the phone lines and we’re going to Earl in Pensacola, Florida. Earl, welcome to Bibleline. Yes, I’m going to ask you, is there any seven-year tribulation? Absolutely. In fact, Daniel’s 70th week.
It’s a week of years and that is this seven-year period that the Bible talks about throughout and there is a reference clearly to it. I just gave a Sunday message on that and you might want to order that Sunday message for a gift of $5 and shipping. We’ll get it right out to you. But in the book of Revelation it divides it into two halves, 42 months and 42 months and 42 months is 3 and a half years and 42 more months is 3 and a half more years and that’s a total of 7 years and you’ll find that there are references everywhere to the total of seven years of tribulation that follow the rapture before Christ comes back at his second coming.
But Daniel 927 is talking about the 70th week of years. What an incredible prophecy. The first 69 weeks took us right up to the crucifixion of Christ and it was a prophecy Hundreds of years in advance, in fact if you multiply 69M7, it’s 483 years from the giving of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem after it had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. And when that commandment was given and you count 483 years, boom, Jesus dies on the cross of Calvary.
And then the clock stopped ticking, Earl, and the clock will pick up on this ticking again once the rapture happens, that’s 70th week of seven years of Daniel 9 will tick off the and that’s the tribulation period. Hope that helps a little bit and if you get my CD you’ll really see it all just come to life for you. All right, they can call anybody can call the operator and ask for the CD, the Sunday message on Daniel’s 70th week.
It’s an incredible prophecy that comes to your hairs on your arm to stand right up because wow how incredible God had predicted the crucifixion date over 500 years before it ever happened right to the day you can’t beat that and then lays out that there’s one more seven-year period left to be fulfilled before Jesus comes the second time and that is the seven years of tribulation. We have Andrea in Lakeland, Florida and Andrea welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air.
I have a question on Genesis 1, chapter 20. Genesis chapter 20? Genesis 1. 120. Yes. Okay, what is the question? It doesn’t get so that the water is being forced abundantly. The moving creature has life and a foul that may fly above that earth in the open firmament of heaven. I was just, when we were doing a Bible study and I got a little confused at the time. The fowl, can you explain that? That’s birds, like chickens and turkeys and all kinds of quail and…
Yes, they’re anything in that part. What I meant is they’re not coming from the water. No, no, no, no, no. The things in the water and then the things on the land like the birds, But those were created because life had been destroyed, I believe, by a judgment on this earth in Genesis 1, 2 of the original creation, which was plants and animals and dinosaurs, and jalic life that lived on this earth in Lucifer, who became Satan, was the ruler over this original earth.
But then in the seven days God makes the earth inhabitable again, and now he has to recreate life that had been destroyed. But you notice earlier on the third day, he didn’t have to create plants. It says they came forth from seed that was already here in the earth. So all you needed was sunlight and dry land. And you had the ingredients for the seeds to bring forth plants. And you have the three different divisions of the plant kingdom described, the herbs and the grasses and the trees.
And there you have the whole plant kingdom. And God said every one of those would reproduce after their own kind or after their own species. We see that to this very day. If you plant corn, you’re going to get corn. If you plant wheat, you’re going to get wheat and so on and so on. When he creates the fouls and everything else, he also says that they would reproduce after their own kind. If you have a parakeet and it lays eggs, it’s going to have little baby parakeets.
Touch out not eagles or hawks or some other kind of bird. Everything is just like God said it would be and you don’t see anything contrary in science to contradict that So that We’ve been listening to your tape and they have been great help and I thank you so much. You’re very welcome. That’s great Thank You Andrea and make a further mind I was confused if the towel came from the waters. No, no, they didn’t it’s just Kind of a summary there of all the things that God brought forth things out of the water and the things on the land as well Okay.
And that was Andrea and she apparently got some tapes that they’re listening to over there in Lakeland, Florida. We have Myra in Sarasota, Florida. Myra, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Thank you for picking my call. I have a question in regard to the Trinity. I’m in the information regarding the doctrine itself. Well, there are numerous verses that describe to us the Trinity. If you go to the last book of Matthew, Christ and the Great Commission said that we are to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And notice the word name there is singular. They all have the same name because there’s one God who is existent in three separate eternal persons. the eternal Father God the eternal spirit and God the eternal Son. There are just lots of verses. I will give you a couple in John’s Gospel. In John’s Gospel I love chapter 4 verse 16 where you have all three members of God in one verse. It says in I Jesus is speaking John 14 16.
I that is Jesus the eternal Son will pray the Father. There you have God the eternal Father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever, even the Spirit of Truth. That’s the Holy Spirit, so there you have the eternal Spirit. So here you have in one verse all three members of the Godhead. You notice that on verse 26 of John 14 Christ says the comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, there you have the eternal Spirit, whom the Father will send, there you have the eternal Father in my name.
Jesus and so again you have all three members of the Godhead in one verse. So there are numerous verses in the Old and the Testaments that have all three members of the Godhead all mentioned together in one verse. So it’s exciting and I hope that if you have a Scofield Bible, which we recommend, do you have the Scofield Bible? We have a soft cover for $15.00. The notes in that. The old one has these marvelous notes written a hundred years ago that just are geared to doctrine.
Most Bibles have biographical geographical historical information, great for Bible trivia. But when you get down to really knowing your Bible, you need a Bible that is geared to doctrine and the Sculphia Bible explains doctrines like redemption and sanctification and glorification in the Bible. The Scoville Bible explains doctrines like redemption and sanctification and glorification and predestination and words like redemption, things that we don’t commonly deal with every day that need to be explained, and of course the Trinity. And the notes are just going to help you immensely for a gift of $15 to Bibleline.
We can plus shipping will send one of those out to you and it will really help you. Dr.UGE undraftedSPA in I know it. Don’t believe those people there. Tell me confused. Well, no, you’re getting unconfused because they have confused you. In fact, and here’s the verse. Are you get your pencil ready? I’m ready. All right. First John chapter two, you’ll want to write this one down. It says in first John 2 23, and this really nails the Joel’s witnesses, it says in 1 John 2, 23, whosoever denies the Son the same half not the Father.
So what does that mean? Because they deny Jesus they don’t have Yahweh or Jehovah. So they are not Jehovah’s witnesses. They are without Jehovah. And then if you look at 2nd John, this is even better, 2nd John, verse 9, 2nd John, verse 9, there’s only one chapter in 2nd John. It says whosoever transgressive and abide if not in the doctrine of Christ which the witnesses don’t abide in the doctrine of Christ, it says they hath not God. So the witnesses are godless and fatherless or Jehovahless.
And so they’re just witnesses, but they are false and I would not listen to them anymore. Okay. I’m totally confused. Well no confuse you. I’m going to get you unconfused because I asked them if they believe Jesus Christ has been a person of Savior and they say yes. They see that’s a cop-out because they really believe in salvation by works and they don’t understand the concept of Christ being a Savior. A Savior is one who saves you just like a lifeguard.
If you’re drowning, the lifeguard takes you to the shore and not until you’re safe on shore has the lifeguard done his job. Christ is the one who takes us from this world and our sinful condition and takes us home to heaven and places our feet safely on heaven shore. And that’s the concept of being a Savior. And Christ is that Savior. Now the witnesses do not trust Christ to get them to heaven. They’re trusting their works and the Watchtower Society to get them there.
And so they are really not telling you the whole truth. I would not listen to them anymore. You’re going to continue to be confused if you listen to them. well thank you so much all right something out you certainly may and by the way they don’t like to come to my door they don’t they’ve got a map i think that says avoid this guy and so they stay away from me um… i’ve listened to you several times before and i have no i think it from time of twenty two i can’t exactly remember what talent but but i need to ask you take on that i know for women are not allowed right And that’s my position.
Women really don’t have that position. And it’s just like I can’t get pregnant and have a child. I mean, there are differences between men and women. And God, because of Adam being created first, gave that responsibility to the men not to the women. So you have that in the first Timothy chapter 2 verses 11 through 15. First Timothy chapter 2 11 through 15 and it’s quite clear there that women are not to be elders, deacons, preachers. Women are intelligent.
They’re wonderful, but they are not allowed to have that particular job. Let’s see then. I don’t understand if you’re pregnant with the word and if you’re going out to say so. Well, women can witness and women can do many things for the Lord, but the position of being the leader over men and women, which is what a preacher is, is wrong. The Bible says that women are not to usurp authority over the men. So if women were just teaching women, if you have an all-woman church and you have no men there, that would be fine.
But they teach men, and that is wrong. The Bible says that men are not to sit under women teachers. Good question. Thank you, Myra. Thank you so much. Alright, Myra down in Sarasota, Florida calling in and now we are going to go to Wayne. He’s on the road right now. He’s driving his truck. So we don’t know where he’s at. Wayne, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Alright, you’re on the air, Wayne. Okay, you’re kind of breaking up, but Wayne, what state are you in?
Virginia’s $1 crot and I’m driving to Southern Virginia now. Alright, you’re driving through Virginia. Alright, well, I’ll answer the question. Children, prior to the age of accountability, if they should die, would go directly to heaven. A great birth is 2 Samuel 1223. David had a baby that became ill and at seven days old died. And David said the baby will not return to me, but I’ll go to be with my child. So we do know that all of the children under the age of accountability will go to heaven.
Also, we know the Holy Spirit is obviously working on every individual that comes into this world. And so even if the parents, when they become of age, don’t try to tell them about Christ, the Holy Spirit is dealing with them about their need and promises that he’ll get the gospel to them even though their parents aren’t telling them. So there is God working behind the scenes and God promises in Job chapter 33 that he’ll keep somebody alive through battle, through war, through disease and illness until the messenger gets to that person and tells them the gospel so they can become saved.
So you have to trust God on this one and I love Genesis 1825, Wayne. It says, Shall not the God of all the earth do right? So God is going to do the right thing, and God will see that those children will indeed hear the gospel if they seek him, as the Bible says that he first seeks us. And that’s one of the great verses in the New Testament, Luke 19, 10 says, The Son of Man is come to seek and to save those that are lost.
So he’s seeking and if you are going to respond to his seeking you, then God promises you’re going to hear the message. And when you hear that message and believe the gospel west, you become saved, but children under the age of accountability are saved. Thank you Wayne for calling in. We had a bad soul cut connection, but we’re glad to hear you’re calling in from up there on the highways in West Virginia. We have Adam now on the line and Adam is calling in from Tampa, Florida.
Adam, welcome to Bibleline. Hey brother Hank. I’m a story in the ministry of college students. Okay. Can you give me all the verses that you can think of concerning say by faith and not of works? And I’m going to sum up from a radio wall. Okay. Okay. a couple of our program here for us and all the verses that deal with salvation by faith. Well, they are so many. Let me recommend a couple of things. I’ll give you a few here, but we have a book, handbook, on a personal evangelism for a gift of $12.
This book lays it out. This is the book that tells you how to bring the gospel to somebody who is lost, whether they be an atheist, an agnostic, an evolutionist, a cult member, the ideal book the EO. To be able to arm yourself to bring the Gospel to a college campus. I know what that was like. I learned really to fend for myself at the University of Florida when I was leading guys to Christ and began a Bible study there.
“( I had to have some good ammunition and that’s what you’re asking for. This book will really give you the best of what you’re going to need. But let me just recommend if you have your pen ready to write some. Ephesians 2, 8, 9 are a couple of my favorites. I saw those tonight that I got saved. And that is it says, 4 by grace or by mercy, or you save through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works.
Not of works, not of works, let’s say he mentioned Boster Bragg. So Ephesians 2, 8 and 9, Romans 4, 5, another one that is my favorite. It says, but to him that does not work, to him that worketh not, but believe with on Jesus who justifies the ungodly. That’s us. His faith in Jesus is counted for righteousness.
Romans chapter 4 verse 6. Romans chapter 5 verse 1 says, therefore being justified by faith. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through the Lord. Our Lord Jesus Christ Romans 5 1 Romans 3 28 it says therefore we conclude this is the conclusion of the first three chapters of the book of Romans and it says therefore we conclude in a minute justified by faith by the works of the law. We’re justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law.
I’m going backwards but Romans 1 16 is another great one. Paul says I’m not ashamed of the gospel the good news message of the death the burial the resurrection of Christ For if the gospel is the power Of God unto salvation to everyone that believe it so when you believe the gospel God saves you Romans 116 Acts 16 31 says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved You can’t get better than that and that is believe or trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and now shall be safe But of course don’t ever forget and don’t underestimate the power of John 316 John 316 for God so loved the world at you and me that he gave his only begotten son that Jesus Christ that Whosoever Believeth in Christ should not perish but have everlasting life I also recommend you go to my website, that whole book that
I just recommended to you is on my website. You can read it on the website, you can download it off the website. If you want to do it that way, you can do it’s free. It’s right there on my website. The book on how to lead souls of Christ is right there. BibleLineMinistries.org or .com, it’s there in its entirety. Also, there’s a section called Dr. Lynchland’s Articles. I have so many things I’ve written that will help you with not only how to be saved and the fact that it’s eternal life that God offers, but the issues that will come up like difficult verses, water baptism as of being not a requirement and so on and so on.
Adam, thank you for calling. We’ll be praying for you. I think that’s a great venture you’re on college students. That’s the time to reach them and we’ll pray that God will richly bless you. Thank you for calling in today. This is Bibleline and I wanted to say earlier that we thank God for all of you who pray for and give the Bible. You know, we’re totally listener supported. I don’t get paid our staff doesn’t get paid. We don’t have a piggy bank.
We don’t have a reserve account. We don’t have any subscribers. We don’t have any pledges. We just in a sense are naked before God, just asking God to supply. He raises up people just like you who see the value of this program and how he raises up people that have been blessed by Bambaland to say, this program needs to continue. I want to be part of it. Like the lady I spoke to, I spoke to you from Michigan, she says, oh please don’t ever take your program off the air.
She says she listens with her husband every day up there in Michigan, in Grand Blant, Michigan. We’re excited about bringing the gospel to New York and Michigan and Kansas and Virginia and Pennsylvania and Ohio and the many states that were in Alabama and of course here Florida and etcetera, etcetera. But the internet now has been a wonderful tool to help us get that message out to the world. It all costs money, including the broadcast stations. you can be a real blessing if you’ll just pray for us.
But if you could give a gift to Bible and especially a monthly gift, that would be wonderful. And you can do that by credit card over the phone, call our 800 number. You can also call our operators and they’ll send you an envelope with our address, pen it on it, or they’ll recite our address if you’d like to just copy it down. But if you have internet access, you can give a gift on the online bookstore, also by credit card over the internet.
So keep those things in mind and pray for us. We’re trusting that if you’re listening and you’re not sure of your salvation, that you would trust Jesus as your Savior, that you would just say, Lord, I am a sinner. And that’s just being honest, as we said earlier. But Lord, I trust Jesus Christ right now as the one who died and shed his blood for me, was buried and rose again from the dead. I trust Jesus Christ right now to forgive my sin to give me the gift of everlasting life.
you would do that. If you are a believer, if you have already done that, make the second decision to grow and to know more about Christ and to begin to live for Him. If you continue Christ says in my Word, then you are my disciple. So disciple is one who continues In the word of God. Don’t forget tomorrow night we have those last two class hours of first and second Thessalonians. If you’re driving this and you’re welcome to come out and be a part of that.
