We appreciate you and all of our listeners as we come to you live from Tampa, Florida from our studios right here at the Calvary community church in Tampa We look forward to being with you every day Monday through Friday And we hope that you’ll listen as often as you can you can also go to the internet We’re streaming right now and you can hear our program not only right now live, but you can hear 24 hours a day
7 days a week from anywhere on the planet Earth. 142 countries have now logged in on Bibleline, and we’re excited about how the Bibleline has a listening audience to the radio program approaching 11,000 people. So we’re excited about how God is using this to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We’re also on many broadcast stations, and including Honduras in Central America, reaching to Guzigalpa and other major cities and islands off of the coast of Honduras. Our television program, Bibleline, is being aired in Mongolia, and we’re excited about how God has opened these doors for us and pray for us.
And we pray that God will use Bibleline in a mighty way until He comes back. By the way, we have finished our series on First and Second Thessalonians. The 10 CD series is available now on CD if you want to call it an order that set and we can have that shipped out to you and you’ll enjoy. We had a great time, a great audience and everybody in the classroom enjoyed it and you can enjoy it just as much I believe by way of CD.
Plus we have so many other CD series Hebrews. What a wonderful series that was. Romans. That was a great one. The book of Jude, an incredible look at the future and also connecting back to the other 64 books of the Bible preceding it. And it is book number 65 that links us in with the book of Revelation, the 66th book of your Bible. All of these series are available, including the book of Revelation, the book of Daniel. We’re having a great time with our CDs, but we also have DVDs you can now get videos we have 10 of our videos which are about 65 minutes long in one packet For a gift of a hundred and fifty would save fifty dollars if you bought them individually They’re twenty dollars apiece, but this would be a great series to have on your shelf Covering different doctrines when you need to have some help
explaining a doctrine like repentance or the rapture. Just pull out that DVD and play it on the screen for your guest and I’ll be the one on the video explaining it and maybe that’ll help you. A lot of people are using it that way as an aid in presenting the gospel but also for their own personal growth in studying the doctrines of the Bible. Check out what our resources are by calling and asking the operator for a resource sheet or go to our website BibleLineMinistries.org and there you’ll find the online bookstore that has Uriel Pictures and descriptions of all the things that we have.
We certainly hope that we can be a blessing to you in that way. We also have now a book by Louis Berry Shafer called Major Bible Doctrine and that covers 52 doctrines of the Bible and each chapter is only about 5 to 7 pages long. So, wow, it’s not like it’s real difficult and gives you a nice quick look at 52 doctrines of the Bible. Then we also have his systematic theology which has those 52 doctrines plus in more depth called systematic theology.
It was 8 volumes, condensed now to 4 volumes, but it is a wonderful series. It retails for $180.00. Bibleline now has it for $110.00 and we hope that that might be a blessing to you as well. That’s one of the series we recommend along with our commentary. We recommend the Jameson. A f quiran which is a three volume set that covers\/\/an every verse of the Bible. It retails for 140, we have it for 90, and also the Jay Vernon McGee commentary on the Bible.
It has something on every chapter of the Bible. And we have that. It retails for 200, we have it for 100. And Bibleline makes a little bit on that. But if you’d like to get your resources through Bibleline, it will help Bibleline. And also these are books that I recommend. commentaries I recommend because I’ve been through it where I bought lots and lots of books that most of which I Wasted my money. Well, we’re gonna take a look at the scriptures for a few minutes And then we’re gonna go ahead and go to the phone lines people are already calling in you are welcome to call in at 1-800-576-3771 that’s 1-800-576-3771 That is 1-800-576-3771.
The unpardonable sin that the Bible talks about is rejection of Jesus Christ. In John 3, it says, he the believer on Christ is not condemned, but he the believer not is condemned already because he hath not believed. So it is unbelief, rejection of Christ, that is the unpardonable sin. But a lot of people bring up Mark chapter 3, and it’s also in the other gospels, the BLAST for me against the Holy Spirit. unpardonable sin. same sin, its rejection of Christ.
When you read the context of the story in the Gospels, Christ had healed a man that was both blind and dumb so that he both saw and spake, and the religious leaders who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah said, Yes, indeed, he heals because they could not deny the healing that he had done on this man, but they said he does it by Satan’s power. And so that is really the unpardonable sin. It is to reject Christ by saying, yes, he does miracles, but he does it by the power of Satan.
Verse 29 says of Mark 3, he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit have never forgiven us, but is in danger of eternal damnation. And the answer is in verse 30. So if you have your Bible open to Mark 3, verse 30 gives us the answer because they said, because they said, because they said, this is why they were in danger of eternal damnation. This is why they were in trouble because they were rejecting Christ. It says in verse 30, because they said, He Christ hath an unclean spirit.
What they were saying was that Christ was an imposter, a fraud, a counterfeit. He did not heal as he claimed by the power of God the Holy Spirit. he was healing, they said, by Satan’s power, that is to attribute the works of Christ, done by the Holy Spirit to Satan’s Spirit. And that is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It is the rejection of Christ, the same unpardonable sin of John 3, where it says, he, believe if not, is condemned already because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten son of God.
So there is only one unpardonable sin that is rejection of Christ and there is only one condition for the lost person to meet, to be saved and as to put their trust in Christ. When you trust that Jesus died and shed his blood and paid your sin dead and full was buried in rose again from the dead. From that moment on the Bible says you are saved, delivered from hell to go to heaven as a result of what Christ did for you, has nothing to do with what you do for God, but has everything to do with what God did for you at the cross.
Jesus Christ paid it all. I was raised in church, confirmed, baptized, homogenized, pasteurized, capsized, Simonized, you name it, I went through it. But I was never saved because I was never told that the gospel message was that I should believe on the death of the burial resurrection of Christ, trusting Christ alone as my only hope of reaching heaven. And you know, that was the most important decision that I ever made in my life. I did that at 18. And then I chose at 19 to live for Christ.
And I dedicated my life to tell people about Jesus Christ. And I’m so glad I did. I haven’t stopped ever since I was… A That’s where excitement, that’s where you begin to see God direct your life. You see the will of God happening in your life. We invite you to make both of those decisions. Actually God invites you to. When you trust Christ, you become saved. You need to do that if you haven’t done it. Just tell the Lord, Lord, I’m a sinner.
We all are. But I believe Jesus Christ died for me. And I trust right now that His death and shed blood paid my sin dead and fell. and full. The Christ was buried and rose again from the dead, and I trust Him as my Savior is my only hope of heaven. The moment you do that, my friend, God of heaven saves you. And then a second decision is there facing you that of will you serve Him or not, not to be saved, but because you are saved, and God will reward you for your faithful service.
I’m Dr. Inkmanstrom. This is Bibleline. We’re coming to you live from Tampa, Florida. We invite you, by the way, on our third Sunday to come by and visit with us if you are driving distance and we are having a dinner, but also that afternoon at three we are having a baptism. If you have not been water baptized, since you have been saved and you don’t really have a church home or place that would immerse you in believers baptism, you ought to do that.
In obedience to Christ’s command, it doesn’t save. It is a testimonial of how you are cleansed of your sin by the blood of Christ and the water is ceremonial. And by the way, if your baptized is an infant, no such thing in the Bible, you can’t find a single reference to children or infants being baptized. And it’s just not scriptural. Also, if your baptized before your salvation, you could not be giving testimony because you weren’t even saved. So the only kind of baptism that you need to do is one after you’re saved by immersion as a testimony of the fact you’ve been cleansed of your sin.
You’re welcome to be a part of ours at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of August 20th at the Lake just north of our church here in Tampa and we would love to have you be a part of it. Call our operator and put your name on the list and give us your phone number and we will be glad to try to make sure you understand what you would have to do, how to find this and so on. Or you can just motorcade with us all when we leave here after the dinner on Sunday the 20th.
So you can come for the morning worship, stay for dinner, be our guest, and then stay for the baptism and we’ll motorcade up to the lake just a few miles north of Calvary Community Church in Tampa. Alright, we’re going to go to the phone lines. The phone number here at Bibleline is 1-800-576-3771. 1-800-576-3771. Big announcement, next Thursday night, August 17th, we have Gershan Solomon coming here to Calvary Community Church. He is the man that is the head of the Temple Mount Faithful.
He just flew here from Jerusalem, and he is possibly the one who would build the temple that Christ will return back to. So if you can be here the 17th at 7 PM, that’s Thursday night. Coming up, we’d love to have you come and join us for an exciting evening. He’s coming back from this war that’s going on right now. He’s coming back from last week on the 9th of Av, attempting to lay the cornerstone again. And of course, it hasn’t happened yet, but we believe right after the Rapture that stone will be laid and the temple will be built and the tribulation period will be underway and Christ will come back at his second coming to that third temple.
Thursday night August 17th 7 p.m. Invite you to come and join us for an exciting evening with Thershan Solomon Right here from Israel. We’re going to Jeff down in Venice, Florida and Jeff. Welcome to Bible in your on the air Good morning, Dr. Lindstom two questions for you First one would be Did Solomon write Proverbs and ecclesiastes during her reign or after he had already suffered all of his troubles? I think it was toward the end of his life.
It seems to reflect the wisdom that he learned during his life. He discovered that all was vanity and ecclesiastes. He tried everything and nothing brought joy but serving the Lord. He discovered that he tried everything that money could buy and it didn’t bring happiness. I think so and the Proverbs as well. They came after many years of experience with the Lord. Okay, thank you very much. And could you define the term that a lot of preachers use in Christian liberty?
I hear that term a lot and I’m not exactly sure what they’re talking about. Well, I don’t know what they’re talking about either, but the Bible talks about in Galatians 5 that there were to stand fast and the liberty that we have in the Lord. that were delivered from the penalty and the… Consequences of our sin as far as going to hell and we’re no longer under the law, but now we’re totally free to serve the Lord. And of course it warns in that chapter 5 of Galatians that we’re not to use that as a license, but we need to take responsibility and let it be an opportunity for us to live now the life that God would have us to live so that we can bear fruit for Him and the peace and joy and happiness will come as a result.
all come as a result. Later in that chapter it talks about the fruit of the Spirit, the result of somebody living for Christ in the Liberty we have. A lot of people are serving under rules, under bondage, and they’re under the Old Testament Law. And the Bible says that we need to recognize that we’re free now. And we can concentrate on, concentrate on living for the Lord and serving Him and the fruit of the Spirit in verse 22 and 23 of chapter 5 of Galatians’ love, joy, peace, happiness, gentleness, long-suffering, and meekness, all the fruit of the Spirit will begin to be manifest in our life as we live for the Lord.
But he is warning the Galatian believers who were being told by legalizers that they had to keep the different feast days and keep the Sabbath and keep the laws, and they were told to stand fast in that Liberty where they’ve been set free from the Mosaic Law. I hope that helps a little bit. That Galatians 5 is a good chapter. Thank you very much. All right. But we don’t have a license to misuse the Liberty we have in Christ.
We have Carl, who’s in Sarasota. He is right now, apparently, driving in a truck and listening to Bible and call. Welcome to Bibleline you’re on the earth. Hey Pastor, I have a question. I believe for a lot of people like naming my father, what about all the people that are going to die without Christ before Christ? I call the Prophet before Christ. We get the… We get to Holy, again, what about all the people before Christ? You know, like how did they know?
Well God spoke through the nation of Israel and through his prophets. Congratulations chapter 3 verse 8 says the scripture for seeing that God would just fight the heathen or the nations through faith preached before the gospel on Abraham. So Abraham heard the gospel, believed the gospel and obviously the prophets all wrote about Christ and in Acts chapter 10 verse 43 Peter summarizes that and says that in the name of Yeshua or Jesus give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever believe it than him should receive the remission of their sins.
So Peter is saying that all the prophets spoke about Yeshua or Jesus and that told the Old Testament saints that if they would believe in him they would receive their sins forgiven. So basically Christ was there presented in the Old Testament but he had not yet come. We look back to His coming as they look forward to His coming. What about, you know what kind of worries me how Lord took the Holy Spirit from Saul. Now, he wouldn’t do that to one of his own, right?
Not today but Saul was saved but in the Old Testament the Holy Spirit could come and go. In fact David, after his sin with Bathsheba in chapter 51 of the Psalms, he said take not the Holy Spirit from me. So the Holy Spirit could leave the believer in the Old Testament, but in this age from Pentecostal Rapture, the Holy Spirit is permanently enjoying us, so that will not happen. Wow, that answered everything. Thank you, Pastor. Alright, Carl, thank you for calling.
Carl and driving down the highway at this moment, listening to my blind. If you’d like to call in, the phone number is 1-800-576-3777. Off the Year Anonymous, whoever he is, somewhere in Florida, doesn’t even let us know what city he’s in, but Anonymous in Florida says if the Jew is God chosen people, then why doesn’t everyone want to become a Jew? Obviously, you don’t become a Jew. You’re born a Jew. We believe that this is a race of those people that are descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And you just can’t say, as a Gentile, I think I want to become a Jew. It doesn’t work that way. Jews after they trust Christ are still Jews, but they are Jews that are forgiven and we can call them Christians now. Gentiles who trust Christ are still Gentiles after they trust Christ, but they’re Gentiles whose sins are forgiven. By the way, the Jewish people were chosen for an earthly… He talks about the fact that the Christ has been back in the second coming.
He will become the head nation on the earth as Christ rules over the Jews as King of the Jews and also King over all the other kings of the earth. He will be King of kings and Lord of lords and there will be one king or one lord over the entire earth during the thousand year reign of Christ. So basically if you’re a Gentile, there’s no way you’re ever going to be a Jew. But if you’re a Gentile, you can be saved and be a Christian.
If you’re a Jew, you can be saved and be a Christian. The Jewish people are race, the Senate from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Unless you’re born of that lineage, you are not Jewish. Next question, Mary calls in from Holland Springs, 80 miles outside of Richmond, Virginia. She says, the Sabbath, Genesis 2, says, this was for the rest of man, or man to rest. Can you explain on this if you say it is no longer for us? Well, I believe you ought to take one day a week, perhaps, to rest, but we are not under the Old Testament law from Mount Sinai concerning the Sabbath.
If you read your Bible carefully in Romans 14, it tells us that you can really make a choice if you want because you are not under the law. It tells us that you can choose maybe another day. But the Christians of course have been given the first day of the week to commemorate the resurrection of Christ. Let me read here from Romans 14 verse 5. It says, One man esteemeth one day above another, another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
And then it says, He that regardeth that the O rather the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And He that regardeth not the day to the Lord, He does not regard it. And so on and so on. So you need to make a choice. And if you want to worship on Saturday, that’s fine, but we’re not legally obligated to worship on Saturday. The Sabbath was nailed to the cross, and Colossians 2.16 says, Let No Man Judge You, Therefore, In respect of meat or drink, or in respect of the Holy Days, or of the Sabbath.
We have Shane that just called in, and he’s calling from Largo, Florida, and he says about the new American Standard, what do you think about it? Well, I think it is off of a man-made Greek translation called the Critical Text. It is really nothing more than the American Standard made new. The American Standard came out in 1901, and it’s nothing but the English Standard version that came out in 1881 kind of basically given a new name, nothing much was done to it and all of them are flawed.
The English Standard Version, the American Standard Version and the New American Standard Version all attacked the deity of Christ. 1 Timothy 3 16 in the King James says, Without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness that God was manifest in the flesh. Guess what the English Standard Version, the American Standard version and a new American state of version say they say by our common confession which seems to apply the deity of Christ rest upon our vote. It doesn’t have a thing to do with whether we believe it or vote on it or anything else.
Jesus Christ is God. Then it says he instead of God was manifest in the flesh. It says he was manifest in the flesh. That’s absolutely meaningless because Shane you’re manifest in the flesh. I’m manifest in the flesh. Your friends are manifest in the flesh. meaningless to say he was manifest in the flesh. When the Bible says in the King James, God was manifest in the flesh, that’s significant. And that’s who Jesus Christ is. So I could go on and on.
I, in fact, in 1 Peter 2, when it talks about new believers desiring the sincere, sincere milk of the word of God that you may grow as a Christian once you become saved. These translations that I just mentioned say that you may grow up and be saved or grow up and obtain salvation and make salvation by works. There are many, many verses I could point out, but let me recommend the book we have New Age Bible Versions Which covers all of these and shows examples of how they have really taken and reshaped the Bible.
I would not have a new American standard myself. Thank you Shane for calling in and we appreciate it. Jack off the earth, Lakeland, Florida calls in and he says the Scofield New King James version. Do you know anything about it? Yes, I don’t like the New King James. They didn’t just change the archaic words, but they they changed the the meaning of many verses then I don’t recommend. I recommend the old Schofield Bible with the King James translation, not the new King James, although all these things are now being made available.

Would you like to call Bibleline and ask Dr. Lindstrom a question? You can. Just pick up your phone and dial 1-800-576. 3,800-576-3771. Now here again is Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Alright, we’re back from that break. This is 9-1, Dr. Englunds from we’re coming to you live from Tampa, Florida from our studios right here at the Calvary Community Church. We have some guests in our studio today. We welcome them and of course we welcome all of you that are listening to Bibleline big announcement We want you to know that August 17th Gershan Solomon will be here with us in person from Israel He’s already flown into the country and will be with us Thursday night the 17th of August at seven o’clock He is the man that is the head of the Temple Mount Faithful.
His organization has been cutting the stones now for many, many years, and everything is ready for the third temple that the Bible describes, which Christ will come back to at the second coming seven years after the Rapture. And so this is exciting. You might actually be talking to, looking at, shaking hands with the very man that might build the temple that Christ will return to. August 17, Thursday night, 7 till about 9.30. We hope you will come. We would love to have you be a part of that meeting.
If you know Jewish friends, bring them. I think this will be very enlightening to them. Gershan is an Orthodox Jew. He believes Jesus Christ has not yet come yet, or the Messiah, rather. He believes that the Messiah has yet to come, and of course that’s pretty much the Jewish view. And of course I have told him face to face that Gershah and you’re lost. The Messiah has been here once and you missed him. And now he’s about ready to come a second time.
But obviously the Bible clearly teaches. And when Christ comes a second time, there will be a temple standing in Israel, and this is the man that probably will build that after the rapture, because he will be left behind as an unbeliever is an orthodice to you but i’m praying for him that maybe the blinders that come off after the rapture and that he may become safe uh… we’re going to go to the phone lines we have bill and rip down reko florida on the line and bill welcome to buy a line you’re on the air thank you i appreciate it a lot of one question i do want to ask you is okay Your church is located off of Hillsborough or is located off of like Interstate 4.
it’s right off of hillsborough were five blocks south of hillsborough avenue and were blocked west of the veterans expressway okay alright i just want to make sure that i do want to get down to one of these days without listening to you must change the idea i really appreciate your ministry because it did help their blood thing for me one of but here’s a quite good i don’t know if it’s not like a silly question or not technically where in the lineage to the jews Well, you know, to Adam and Eve and to Noah were all related, but after the flood of Noah at the Tower of Babel, God founded the nations when he gave them all the different languages and the people were scattered about the world and the nations began out of Iraq, out of Babylon.
But at the same time, he picked out a man, an individual named Abraham, and he said, I’m going to make a nation out of you. So unless you’re descended from Abraham, you’re not really a Jew. So that’s where it all began. But back before that, we’re all obviously Everybody’s related back to Adam and Eva and also to Noah. Well, I was just kind of wondering about that because I thought well, you know, after everybody was scattered across the face of the earth technically everybody extended from that particular point and I kept sitting on one day thinking like I wonder where I’m related back in the lineage because I was just kind of wondering about that one time if technically like bloodline lineage or whatever if we all were related.
Well we all truly are the human race related but the nation of Israel began with Abraham in Genesis chapter 12 and unless you are of that lineage of Abraham through his son Isaac, through his grandson Jacob and then through the twelve sons of Jacob, you are technically not Jewish. Dr. Hank Lindstrom. I was just wondering about that because I kept sitting there one day thinking like, you know, I wonder which tribe I was. I have just said that for all of us, it’s kind of water.
Anyway, I appreciate the ministry and I appreciate your answer and I really appreciate your show and I thank you very much. All right. Well, thank you Bill. Bill listening out in Valrico, Florida, which is to the east of Tampa. Welcome to call us at 1-800-576-37 771 off the air Donna in Bradenton, Florida calls in she said she thought the Gentiles were grafted in to the olive tree as God’s chosen people. Why can’t we begin to sit in Jewish because we are that wild olive branch and we are grafted in but the time is coming when the natural branch will be grafted back in again.
All of that is in Romans chapter 11, and it’s basically saying that the gospel, Abraham not only is the father of the Jewish people, but he’s also the father of the Arab peoples through Ishmael, but also spiritually. He’s the father of faith of all that believes. So in the spiritual sense, you might say that that we are the children of Abraham as the Bible says in Galatians chapter 3 that we become Abraham’s seed spiritually when we trust Christ, but physically we are not Jewish unless we are physically descendant from Abraham through Isaac through Jacob and the 12 sons of Jacob or Israel.
All fair, Kerry in Deerfield Beach, Florida calls in, she says when she reads her NIV notices the scriptures that are missing according to the NIV quiz that ByBlind sent her, she says there are footnotes that explain a Greek text. Well, obviously they try to cover themselves I think in some of these places by making a note that it was in the King James but they took it out. But it’s no excuse. I think the verses belong there should not have been taken out and they’re taken out because of the man-made Greek text back in the 1800s where this group relied heavily on two manuscripts that have been under the custodial care of the Roman Catholic Church, the Sinaiticus and also the Vaticanus are two manuscripts that they’ve had and by the way nobody has ever seen those manuscripts the Catholic Church has given out copies
but I question whether the copies are legitimate word-for-word copies because they’ve never allowed any outsiders outside of the Catholic Church to look at those two manuscripts so although we have all these scholars that keep referring to the Sinaiticus and the Vaticanus manuscripts and sometimes in the text or in the margins of your Bible, they’ll say the best manuscripts. They don’t tell you what the best manuscripts are, but that’s really what they’re referring to, and nobody’s really seen them. And since they’ve been totally in the custodial care of the Roman Catholic Church, which I don’t trust, I really don’t believe that we’re getting a straight shake here.
And obviously, they have not only omitted 44 verses in their entirety, but there are about 5,000 total emissions based upon what the Catholics, I think, did in tampering with these manuscripts. So there you have it and you can make up your own mind. But I think if my Bible were full of missing spots and missing words and missing verses, I’d go back and demand a refund. I would think I was cheated. Off the air, Sandra in Bradenton, Florida calls in and she says the antichrist is he Jewish according to Daniel 1137.
There it says he will not regard the God of his fathers. It seems to imply that he has perhaps some Jewish heritage somewhere, but I don’t know that that will be fully understood by him. We know that there are Jewish people today that are just now discovering they were Jewish and didn’t even know it. Like our former Secretary of State. She discovered that she was Jewish while in office as Secretary of State. She had been Jewish and raised up by a Roman Catholic family that kept her from the Jewish Holocaust and never knew that she was Jewish until rather recently.
Allah, who is he and how did he come about? Well, the answer is, Allah is the moon god. Every minaret where you have an Islamic The Bible is a prayer tower that calls people to prayer. At the top there is a crescent moon and that’s of course who they’re praying to. They prayed to the moon God. And of course those who believe the Bible prayed to the one who created the moon. The Bible very clearly tells us that we’re forbidden to worship the sun or the moon or the stars.
And obviously the people of Islam are moon worshipers as they worship and pray to Allah the moon God. They’re totally deceived. And obviously, this is not a friendly religion. I heard an interview on TV yesterday where they were talking about the men who flew the planes into the trade towers in DC and people who knew them, who were maybe their landlords or their bosses or their roommates said they were just nice guys. And that’s what you keep hearing all the time.
But the faith that they have will turn them violent to kill anybody that’s not Islam. And obviously, although they were considered nice guys, they really, and obviously this latest attempt again in Britain of the mass murder of thousands of people in airplanes blowing up across the Atlantic Ocean was foiled. But again, it’s by nice guys who believe the core end that everybody else is an infidel and they are to give up their lives to kill us. Unfortunately it’s a very violent religion.
Walter in Richmond, Virginia just calls in and he says, what do you think about the gap theory that the Scofield Bible talks about between Genesis 1-1 and Genesis 1-2? I believe it’s the gap fact. And so I think it’s true. I think there is a gap and I don’t call it and I call it the gap. In fact, if you read the scriptures and skill field has a lot of them for you to look at, the scriptures do back it up and so you must have a skill field or you wouldn’t be able to refer to it as you do.
Check out the notes and follow them through. Jeremiah was taken on a journey back through history and he says that lo I beheld the earth was without form and void. He got to see the destruction of the earth in Genesis 1-2 as it happened as he was taken back in time to observe that. And he tells us about how that there was no man on the earth at that time when that destruction took place. This was before the creation of man.
Read those scriptures very carefully and you might want to get my CD on the creation and I covered very thoroughly. So I would recommend that way you get a couple of hours or an hour of discussion on this and I go through the verses for you. Call my operator right now and ask for the Creation CD. It’s a gift of $5 and shipping and we’ll get it right out to you. We have Joe in Brandon, Florida and Joe, welcome to Bibleline your own ear.
Hi, Dr. Hank. I just had a question. Probably isn’t important in the whole scope of things. I was just wondering, since angels are all male and they don’t produce, reproduce or anything, is there any reference in the Bible as to how many there actually are that were created? I know a third of them had fallen and I didn’t know if, and I know they only named two actual angels and I was just wondering if there’s a reference to maybe how many if there’s one per each individual or what they’re like?
They were created before man was ever here and the Bible says they are a numeral obviously There is a finite number of them, but obviously there are millions We know that one of the descriptions in Revelation talks about how that there are Obviously a minimum of a hundred million at that point standing around the throne of God So there are millions and millions and millions of angels We don’t know an exact count, but I’m sure God knows what that number is But they are described as innumerable in the Bible But the number of angels today is the exact same number as when they were created They haven’t increased their population by one or have they diminished by one they are the same number and also There are three angels named in the Bible Lucifer or Satan is that third angel along with Michael and Gabriel
the two angels that are God’s angels that are mentioned. Hopefully that helps a little bit. Oh it does. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Alright, Joe in Brandon, Florida, calling in and you’re welcome to call in at 1-800-576-3771. He says, who makes up and how do they choose, who will help rebuild the temple and who will choose the Sanhedrin? Well, the Sanhedrin has already been reestablished. So that’s a fact. And they are already convened and are discussing. In fact, the major issues that you’re discussing right now is exactly where on the Temple Mount they will build the ancient Jewish temple.
And I believe they’ve got it pretty close to where it should be. I’ve been down in the tunnels at the base of the waving wall about 80 feet below street level and there’s a place there that they point out that is exactly in line with the holy of holies and some of the Jews claim that when they touch the stones there that they get electrical shock well I touched it high, low, in the middle both hands, one hand, two hands I didn’t get any shocks at all.
But anyway, I know that they claim they have the geographic location and know exactly where to build it. So they’re already there and they’re the ones who will probably be making the key decisions related to the rebuilding of the temple. Gershan come up and see him. I guess you’ll have to fly down from Michigan. But he’ll be here Thursday night. We’ll record that. Maybe you can get a recording of it here, what he has to say. say, maybe that’s one of the questions we can ask him when he’s here Thursday night the 17th of August at 7 p.m.
Everybody in driving distance is certainly welcome to attend. Off air we have Benjamin in clear water, wedding of the church in heaven or hell. Well, obviously it will be in heaven. The church is the body of Christ, comprised of all believers from Pentecost till the rapture, and will be raptured out to meet the Lord in the air. The marriage will take place in heaven and then at the second coming when Christ comes back, He comes back with His bride and He will rule and reign on the earth.
Who will be invited to be people in the church? Well everybody in this age is invited to become a believer and then you are placed into the body of Christ which is the church or the bride of Christ and that wedding of Christ and his bride will take place after the rapture during the tribulation period in heaven, Christ will then return to the second coming with his bride. Lillian in Stoner Lake, New York, just called in, she says the Apostle Creed reads that Christ is sent in the hell before he rose again.
Where does the Bible back this up? And of course it doesn’t. That’s false. That’s why I don’t like to recite the Lord the Apostles Creed. wrong. Christ did go to paradise in the heart of the earth. You might remember Matthew 1240. He said he would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Then he tells the ninth thief in Luke 23, 43 that he would be with him in paradise. So we know Christ went to paradise.
Paradise was in the heart of the earth. On the third day he emptied the place out. All the Old Testament saints were there waiting for their sins to be forgiven. Now they are present with the Lord and everybody that dies this side of the cross now are absent from the body present with the Lord second Corinthians five eight absent from the body present with the Lord. So, Lillian, thank you for that call from Stoner Lake New York. Alright, we have a caller from large.
Largo and her name is Mrs. Ridge and welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air Thanks for calling in today Hello, hello. Hi. I guess I got the wrong name here. What is your name George Palm Beach Garden? Well, George and Palm Beach Garden is good to hear from you Well, I hope I can hear your station pretty hear you program pretty soon. We’ve lost you I Know it and I’m so sorry that that has happened and They didn’t give us any notice at all.
We learned from our listeners that we weren’t on the air, and I really don’t think that they want us back, but we’re trying to do something to come back and re-emerge either there or someplace else in South Florida. Well, there’s a couple of afterms. I’m going to call another one and see what they can do. They might be a little more flexible. Well, good. That’ll be great. That would happen. But I do have a quaranteed. The implanted chip, of course, is with us TV, who has a chip implanted in his hand with all his personal information on it.
Oh yeah, I know they’re doing it and they’re doing it in other countries. Understand that in Mexico, Spain, number of countries are already in planning, usually police or soldiers or law enforcement. So it’s moving in. Moving in. The question I had was about Revelation 22, chapter 22 verse 15. Could you… I will turn there right now for you, George, and good to hear your voice. I’m glad that you’re calling in today. In chapter 22 of Revelation in verse 15, it says, for without, that is outside of the New Jerusalem, our dogs and sorcerers and hormongers and murderers and adulterers and who so ever loveth and make up the lie.
So there you have a long list. Of course, that’s referring to any of the things that you have in your life. that’s referring to anybody who’s not trusted christ they will stand before god in their uh… sin or sins and uh… they’ll be excluded from heaven uh… kind of interested that they were still there you know that they hadn’t been picked up they’ve been dealt with earlier well they may have been uh… but here’s mentioning simply those that will not be there and they’ve already been uh…
cast into the everlasting make a fire in chapter twenty inverse uh… fourteen fifteen but here it mentions that these are not going to be there when we arrive so without them yes there were the heaven does not include these people they’re not literally standing outside the gate no no they’re not they’re already banished yeah that’s what it’s fun okay thank you thank you george george and palm beach gardens and uh… we now have uh… mrs rich on From Argo and welcome to Bibleline.
Good morning and thank you so much for your program Dr. Lindstrom. Can you clarify for me what Reformation Theology is and does that include this predarism? Yes it does and I think Reformation Theology is taking several steps backward. It’s basically the theology of the time of the Reformation since then. Obviously a lot of wonderful Bible scholarship has taken place and we’ve moved forward and really learned a lot of doctrines are false and should be discarded. But those who have Reformation Theology cling to many of the misunderstood doctrines of that time which are many times absolutely wrong.
Infant baptism for example is a part of Reformation Theology, the Lutherans, the Presbyterian, the reform churches and so on, usually sprinkle their infants with water. That is a false doctrine. The replacement theology about Israel has been replaced by the church. Another false doctrine that most all of the Reformation churches hold and so on and so on. So I think that if you are going to adopt Reformation theology, you are going backwards rather than forward. We need to jump into the Bible with what we’ve learned since the Reformation and discard the false doctrines and hold tight to the things that are true.
The Bible says, prove whether they are true or not and hold fast to those things which you find to be true. And so we find the Reformation churches are still clinging to the past. They need to be brought up to speed and come up to the present. That helps so much. Thank you. You’re so welcome. And why do you want to go backwards? Why do you want to go back and believe what people you know if you went to a doctor that was practicing that believe what he believed two hundred years ago in this country they’d be bloodletting they’d be cutting your wrist and draining your blood out i mean that doesn’t make any sense at all i wouldn’t want uh…
an auto mechanic that uh… uh… worked on cars seventy five years ago working on my car today and uh… and uh… and the reformation theology ideas you go backwards in time and somehow going backwards is better it doesn’t make any sense at all I think that they need to just stop looking backward. Look forward. Jesus is coming again and we need to get up to speed with the Bible as well. Alright we have Mark down in Winter Haven Florida and Mark welcome to Vomble and you’re on the air.
Hi brother, how are you doing? Good. Good. I love your program and all the materials you have available. I appreciate all your health. Quick question. You’re coming out of Angels while I go. I always heard that people uh… with that we had to free with the statement and and a third of the angels did choose to leave that with a missing something there with with well i think that you’re going to have free free with angels that have a choice in the uh…
obviously uh… their choice was back when satan uh… uh… chose to lead a rebellion in skydin the third of the fella satan are currently lost and and the others that stayed with the war of our forever safety can’t make those choices again now it’s that it’s forever settled for them but I believe that he wanted We were the crowning creation for God, and that we actually, although created lower than angels, when we trust Christ, become above the angels in our position, that we become the sons of God.
Over in 1 John it says, Beloved, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. So we really are special and are raised to a higher level than even angels. And angels will wait on us and become ministering spirits to us. that are saved. God at that time are forever. They are forever lost. Yeah, the ones that Paul and Satan are forever lost. And Satan and his angels will be cast into hell in the Bible since.
That hell was actually created for Satan and his angels. I appreciate it. Okay. And we are coming to the end of Bibleline today. We have more callers out there and more offer questions. We can hardly keep up with them all. But we’ll be back again on Monday. I hope you will join us. Again, I hope you will plan to be here if you are in driving distance to hear Gershahn Solomon live on the 17th Thursday night at 7 PM.
