And one family now has been watching three weeks in a row from Sweden, so we’re excited about that.

You’re welcome to go back in our hive and catch the past 51 Sunday messages. They’re all sitting there, and you can also check out our radio programs for the past year as well. Well we have the Bible in front of us, and we’re going to talk about the Bible, and we’ll invite you to call us, that’s 1-800-576-3771, that’s 1-800-576-3771. October 31st is traditionally known as Halloween, but it’s interesting that in the Bible, when we talk about the birth of Christ, the Bible seems to hint strongly that Christ was born this month and maybe even on October 31st.

That might sound crazy to you if you’ve never heard that before, but you know who came first, Jesus or Halloween. Jesus was probably born when I’ll come to the 31st and we’ll show you why and just I’m going to get your Bible ready in your pencil. Satan, I believe, has taken this holiday and taken away the glory from Christ to make it his own. It’s obviously become a day when demons and witches and goblins and everything that say tannic is obviously going to be everybody celebrating Satan.

And we of course know that Satan would love to do that, to take away the birth date of Christ and make it his own celebration. Well, we know that in the Old Testament, Satan, from the very beginning, knew the plan of salvation. You know the first reference to the two comings of Christ is in Genesis 3.15, and it says there that after Adam and Eve had fallen, that God tells Satan that he would put imnity between Satan and the woman that was Eve, Mrs.

Adam and his seed, which was probably a reference to the Antichrist that will come along one day, and her seed, the seed of the woman, a reference we believe to Christ. It’s interesting here, it talks about in Genesis 3.15, the seed of the woman, that seems to be out of character throughout the Bible, the seed is passed on through the man, and perhaps it’s a veiled reference to the virgin birth, that here a woman would produce a son .

. The Bible teaches us about the two comings of Christ in Genesis 3.15. The Satan would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman or Christ, and the Christ would come one day and bruise the head of Satan. I’m going to do those are the two comings. You know the only death that we know of where the heel of the victim is bruised is crucifixion. When a person is crucified to take their breath they have to push up on their two feet, nailed together or spiked together at the bottom and it’s a painful, painful thing.

Every breath had to be taken that way because they can exhale but they can’t inhale without pushing their body up to be able to fill their lungs. And so a person crucified every breath was filled with excruciating pain. As you can imagine, the two feet spiked together and having to push upon your heel. Well Jesus also, and we believe that Christ’s heel was bruised at Calvary. An amazing reference in Genesis 3.15 to the crucifixion of Christ and his death by crucifixion that his heel would be bruised.

The second coming of Christ, Christ will come back and defeat Satan and bruise his head. And so that is yet to come. And perhaps very soon as we get closer and closer to the Rapture, once we are raptured out, then God is going to, during that seven years that we’ll follow, bring about the taking over this world and Satan’s defeat in being bound in the bottomless pit for a thousand years and then eventually cast into the eternal lake of fire.

Well, Satan then went on a quest to try to prevent this messiah from being born. You know when Adam and Eve had their first two children, I believe they were twins, that was Cain and Abel and Cain killed Abel. I believe was Satan inspired. It tells us that in 1 John 3 15 that Satan used Cain. That Cain was of that wicked one. And he killed Abel because apparently the Messiah would have come through Abel. And then of course God gave another seed to replace him and that would be Sethan.

We know that the Messiah would come through Sethan. Throughout the Bible We have this spiritual warfare going on where Satan attempts to destroy the Jewish people and to destroy the line through which the Messiah would come. And you know at the same time in Genesis chapter 10 and 11 we have there the Tower of Babel and what was characteristic about Babylon was that there was one world government and There was one world religion and there was one universal language.

It’s interesting the Bible teaches us that all the nations originated out of Iraq from the time of the Tower of Babel. At the end times the nations would go back to Iraq. Wow, we’re living right now I believe at that time in history when the nations are going back to Iraq and this is a sign of the return of Jesus. At the same time, there was this one world religion and there you have the story of Nimrod’s wife who is called Simoramas and her supposed virgin-born son named Hamos.

This system of a worship of a mother or son spread throughout the whole world and is still with us to this very day. That’s the counterfeit of Christ. And by the way, Simoramis, her name is still all over the Middle East. I stayed in the Simoramis Hotel on an island in the middle of the Nile River in downtown Tyro. I stayed in Damascus, Syria, and as I looked out my window I saw across the street another hotel with a Simramas name.

She’s around and so is Tamuz. I remember being in Greece and I’ve got a picture of myself standing next to a pagan temple. A thousand years before Christ was ever here is when that temple was built and on there it looks like a cross on the outside of the building carved into the building, and it’s not a cross. It is the tea for Camus and those symbols that seem like they’re Christian are not Christian at all, but have to do with the counterfeit Christ.

This religious system spreads throughout the world and the system remained intact, but the names changed. And the mother and son in Egypt was Ices and Horus. The mother and son in Italy was Venus and Cupid. The mother and son in Greece was Aphrodite and Urus. In Israel, the mother and son were Astroth and Bail. The short form was Avashtar, Ishtar, and the English form is Easter. Easter is really the name of the mother of Bail. And guess what? Bail’s birthday was celebrated on December 25th.

And it was celebrated according to Jeremiah. Maya and you can study history by taking an evergreen tree, a symbol of the life-giving qualities of bale and cutting it out of the forest, taking it home, nailing it so it stands upright and then decking it with silver and gold. Jeremiah 10 makes reference to that tree. Have you ever heard of such a custom? To take a perfectly good tree and nail it up in your home and deck it with silver and gold?

That was the way on December 25th that Bales birthday was celebrated. Christ was not born on December 25th. What happened when Constantine came along in the 4th century AD? He declared the world to be Christian. And what happened was all of a sudden the pagan observances continued, but the names changed. Now the mother and son was Mary and Jesus. And if you are not careful, you will be taught about a Mary that is not the Mary of the Bible, and you will be given a Jesus that is not the Jesus of the Bible, but is this counterfeit Jesus.

And it is amazing how this is crept right all the way down to this very time. And in the book of Revelation in chapter 17, when it describes the in-time world church, and then in chapter 18 the world political government that will exist right after the rapture and by the way we’re headed rapidly toward that right now that it’s one that is identified as the woman the woman the woman because the woman is the center of the worship system a woman and her child and of course that’s really astral of the male but was the names were changed to Mary and Jesus.

Well if you turn with me to Luke chapter 1 we will see the birth date of Christ. This is in Luke chapter 1 we have a story here of Zacharias and he was the father of John the Baptist and it tells us here in verse 5 there was in the days of Herod the king of Judea a certain priest named Zacharias of the course of Abiyyap. of that abiya. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth.

It tells us in verse 60, we’re both righteous. That means we’re both saved. Anybody in the Bible this declared to be righteous is a saved person because we’re not righteous. The Bible says in Romans 3 and 10, there’s not righteous, no not one. They were declared righteous based upon faith in the Lord and the Savior He would bring. Zacharias served in the course of Avia. When the priesthood began, there weren’t very many priests. Obviously, they kept busy all year long.

But as the priesthood tribe grew, it became such that the number of jobs didn’t increase, but the number of priests did. According to 1 Chronicles 24, they divided the priesthood in the 24 courses of two weeks each. You can find that in 1 Chronicles 24. The first year of the month was when they came out of Egypt. That’s approximately the first month of the Jewish calendar is approximately from about March 9th to April 9th and it’s there that the two week periods of service for the priesthood would begin.

And if you go two weeks times eight time periods, it will take you to the middle of July to the end of July. That’s when Zacharias was serving. And when he was serving during that period in July, the angel here appears to him and tells him that he and his wife are going to have a child, that she would become pregnant Elizabeth Wood. And so we know now when perhaps Elizabeth became pregnant, Zacharias got off duty July 31st. And so probably because this was an announcement that they were going to have a child, she probably got pregnant that night.

That became, began the conception of John the Baptist. Now we know it tells us a little further down that six months into the pregnancy of Elizabeth, the same angel Gabriel goes to Nazareth and tells Mary that she is now going to conceive a child which the Holy Spirit would be the father of. We know that Jesus and John DeBaptist were full-term babies. They were carried a full nine months so now we have the answer if John DeBaptist was conceived on July 31st and then you add six months and then Mary becomes pregnant And then we know that she carries Jesus a full nine months You add nine plus six and you have 15 months from July 31st is the birthday of Christ So let’s do that the easy way.

15 months from July 31 is the birthday. So let’s go 12 months. I’ll take us to July 31 again the next year. Then we have three more months to go to find the birthday of Christ. Are you ready? July 31 to August 31 one month. From August 31 to September 30 would be two months. months. And then from September 30th to October 31st, three months there you have it. The birthday October 31st. And isn’t that interesting that Satan has robbed that day away from Christ?

Satan does this. You know, by the way, today there’s someone else at Christmas time that robs the glory from Christ. His name is Santa. Think about it for just a moment. Take the The letter N in the word Santa slide it to the end and what does it spell? Spell Satan. And, you know, Jesus is not welcomed in any of the malls that I know of here in our area where we live in Tampa, Florida. But guess who is welcome?

Satan, I mean Santa. And sometimes he comes in an incredible way, maybe a helicopter drops him off into the parking Lottery parachutes in and lands out in the parking lot and everybody is there to catch that coming in. Then he’s paraded to the very center of the mall and given a prominent place to sit and we are told to bring our children and let them sit upon his lap. And guess what? He apparently has the attributes of Christ or God.

Every Christmas Eve, Santa supposedly can be omnipresent. He can be everywhere present in one place, the delivering gifts all around the world simultaneously. Wow, he’s also omniscient. He knows what every child has done, whether he’s been good or bad. He also is to be appealed to in prayer, so you’re making your request known to Santa and he will answer them. What a devil’s clever, isn’t he? So he’s got Satan. Santa taking the place of Christ at Christmas and don’t you think that October 31st would be a day that Satan would want to take for himself.

He has been successful, but now you know that this Christmas is really two days away. Merry Christmas. Interesting and you can think about it. Does that mean I’m gonna do away with December 25th? No, no, no. As a Christian, you know, we have a great opportunity to tell the true story of Christ and who he is and what do you accomplished. The real gift of Christmas is eternal life offered through Christ’s Death at Calvary. It’s a great time of year.

I’d throw that out for you so that you can maybe do some rethinking. By the way, if you go to the internet and watch the sermon from yesterday, I go in great detail and show from scripture that the birth date is most likely without a doubt, October 31. I’m Dr. Englunds from Mrs. Byblind. We’re ready to go to the phone lines. Give us a call. 1-800-576-3771. All right. We’re excited about the potential of soon being on in Miami and it was going to happen the day we thought but it obviously is going to come a little bit later.

So we’ll try to keep you abreast and hopefully we’ll be on the air soon again in Miami, Florida. who are already calling in, having heard that we were going to be on the air, but this is a decision that they made to, I guess we’ll just see what happens. So we’ll leave it at that. Call us at 1-800-576-3771, 1-800-576-3771. And again, we remind you, if you want to see a detailed message and listen and watch, You can go to the internet site BibleLineMinistries.org and click on the camera and you’ll be connected to the archives.

We now have 51 sermons there yesterday’s message was about Jesus being born in October, not the December 25th and a lot more information than what I just gave you in this little introduction today. So if you have a question, give us a call. We’d love to hear from you and thank you for tuning in again today to Bible. By the way, we have a lot of teaching series that are available on CD. In all our Sunday messages, you can subscribe to all of the Sunday morning messages on CD for $30 a month.

We’ll send them out automatically to you at the end of every month. And also you can order different teaching series. I’ve done about 40 of these, 10 or 12 hours of teaching, the exception being the Gospel of John that we just recently finished, 20 hours of teaching. and you can get those and be able to play them in your car or in your home and A lot of people are using them in that way. We hope that you’ll take advantage and we have the gospel of John, the old 20 hours of teaching.

And we’ve broken into two halves to make it more economical for you. You can do the first half ten hours of teaching for a gift of $50 in a nice book like His Set Holder. And the second part also $50 a hundred dollars. The whole set plus one. We have it on DVD and you get the whole 20 hours on DVD for $150 dollar gift to Bible and that helps us out and also will allow you to have all this teaching verse by verse and I think you’ll really enjoy that.

Ronnie in Oxford, North Carolina calls in and leaves this offer a question. He says, why do we have so many female pastors? There’s been an explosion that hasn’t there. It seems like the world and the church are merged together today and as we see more women in the workplace, more women in the different areas of government and leadership and so on, that has pushed its way over into the church. But obviously if you read the Bible, you would not want to violate what the Bible says.

It tells us in Rani’s question, they must know what Timothy says about the Holy Spirit. Why do they still preach? And I’ve never heard a female speak on this subject. Well, again, the Bible tells us that God gave that responsibility to males that from the very get-go in the Old Testament God had twelve patriarchs, twelve sons of Jacob that were spiritually responsible. We have in the New Testament twelve apostles. He could have chosen, I guess, six women apostles, but he didn’t.

We find that the early church elders and deacons were all women, and he didn’t choose women elders. This is a violation of what the Scripture teaches. That is for two reasons. If you read 1 Timothy chapter 2 in verses 10 through 15, it tells us the The number one reason is Adam was created first in Eve. So this is a chain of authority, the line that got established at Adam was first and woman so man was given that spiritual responsibility.

Number two, because women are created differently and think more emotionally and men think more factually, they’re more easily deceived in spiritual matters. As you go through the Bible, you’ll find that when many times a woman is mentioned in a religious context, it’s always a picture of error and doctrinal unsoundness. That really is what happens. Most female pastors are into doctrinal error. I really don’t know of any sound Bible teachers today that are women. And obviously they’re violating the scriptures.

let them keep silence in the churches. So the women were not to be the teachers of the men and not to usurp authority over the man. Thank you, Ronnie, in Oxford, North Carolina listening into Bibleline. Tim in Pinellas Park leaves this question. He says, if faith healers are false, what is being slain in the Spirit? Well, the answer is this is not a scriptural experience. You cannot show me in the Bible where believers are to be slain in the Spirit whenever I see that experience described in the Bible, it’s people that are unsaved, that are falling down or falling backward.

The clearest examples in John’s Gospel, chapter 18, when Jesus was apprehended in the garden of Gethsemane as he was betrayed, the night of his betrayal. We find that when they ask Jesus or rather when Jesus asked them who they were seeking for and Jesus gives his name, they all fall down backward. These are soldiers. They must have been terribly embarrassed. They went right down on their backside. So I believe perhaps this is a way that we can and say, these people don’t know the word.

They’re not saved because it’s not experienced by genuine believers. It’s experienced by Unbelievers and so when you see this happening in meetings, I think I would get out of that environment because this is obviously a Congregation of unsafe people Gathering together Okay, we have here Tom in Sarasota and we’re coming up past on the break So maybe I’ll take this one right after we get back from the break and this is my line I hope you’re enjoying today and Merry Christmas to you if you didn’t hear the first part you don’t want your way of saying that I’m sure but I We’re going to take a break and we’ll come back into a second half hour of Bible ends.

So keep your radio tuned right where it is. If you haven’t helped Bible end for October, would you consider sending a gift by mail or giving one by credit card over the phone? Right now we’re going to go back to the good break and then come back into a second half hours and stay tuned right here. Goodbye. Don’t go away. Bibleline will be back in a moment. us a call at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. All right, we’re excited to be with you again today.

This is the Monday and it’s the 29th of October. And we’re coming up hard and fast on the end of this month. And we believe, as we said a few minutes ago, that perhaps Wednesday is the real birthday of Christ. What do I do? celebrate all year long, the birth of Christ, the fact that God came and took on human flesh and became our Savior. And so it’s not the birth date that is so significant, it’s his death date because you can celebrate the birth of Christ.

And here they are, you have to believe that Christ died, shed his blood, paid your sin that in full was buried and rose again from the dead to be saved. In any case, our listeners support it. We appreciate your prayers. We desire to have you pray for us. And also if you can help us financially, that’s how we are able to be on the air, because it’s your gifts that enable us to be able to pay the bills so we can be on the air here.

By the way, we’re thinking pretty seriously by going to Israel at the end of February. And we’ll leave that last week on a Monday. We’ll come back on a Friday the following week, which will be March 7th. And we’re just about to finalize that. And we hope that you’ll go with me. It’ll be trip number 15. We’ll study the Bible the whole way. And it ought to be a super time. So if you would like to go, if you’ll call and get yourself on a list so that we’ll contact you and make sure that you get the information in a timely fashion and get the brochures.

And I get you all signed up and ready to go. That would be great. I’d love to have you go with me. This will be trip number 15 and we’ll be studying the Bible From morning to night as we Stop at each site when we open up the scriptures and and talking about the Bible It’ll be a wonderful time and we hope that you’ll go with us. That’s this coming year last week of February first week of March Also, we certainly want you to know that we We love to have combined visit us here But if it’s not possible to come to Tampa, but if you ever do come into Tampa on vacation or business Stop in and say hello, and of course you can visit us also on the internet That’s the nice thing you can visit our online bookstore You can visit our worship services

We’re going to do Bible and part two the second half hour We do have to call Bibleline and ask Dr. Lindstrom a… from a question? You can. Just pick up your phone and dial 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Now here again is Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Alright we are uhh… Back for that break and this is Bibleline in the second half and we hope that you’re enjoying the program today and already reading calls. I think that they never had heard that before.

If you want to get a CD of the message on Christ being born in October or you would like to watch that. You can watch it on the internet for free by going to the camera and clicking on the camera and then go to the where it says archives. and the first one up there at the top will be the Sunday message about calculating when Christ was born. So hopefully you’ll give that a try. We love to have you call us.

The phone number is 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. And give us a call and we’ll try to get your question answered today on the air. And again, if you’re ever in the area, we certainly want you to come by and visit with us. Come by and say, Hi, introduce yourself. And we had people yesterday visiting us from numerous places here in Florida and one family all away from Germany. And so obviously, we’re reaching out and we’re excited about how the internet has enabled us to be able to reach far beyond the walls of our church here in Tampa where Bible-lined headquarters is held and this is where we broadcast from.

In case we’re glad to be with you today. Again, you might want to check out the resources we have. We have the Scofield Bible. You might be thinking about Christmas gifts. You might want to look through the things we have in the resource center and get them before they run out. Sometimes as we found in pastures, there are a number of things that we run out of because we don’t have that large of an inventory and all of a sudden everybody decides to buy this or that or any other or a nice Bible for somebody in their family.

This is the time to get somebody a Scofield Bible. The Scofield Bible is getting more rare by the minute. If you go to your Christian bookstore, you’re going to buy the wrong one because they hardly ever sell the old Scofield Bible anymore. We have to go to great lengths to make sure we keep it here because it seems like the devil has wanted to just do away with it by replacing it with an inferior Scofield today, which is my hybrid three that they’re offering.

Notes have been watered down. New notes have been added that aren’t even by Dr. Schofield. They don’t identify them. So you don’t know who wrote what note. And if you compare them with the early editions that we saw here, the 1909 and 1917, you wonder, is that the same note? They really do watered down. It’s a shame. I’m Dr. Inklinz from Mrs. Bible and our phone numbers, 1-800-576-3771. And we’re coming up on the end of October. And we’ll soon be closing up this whole year, apparently.

We’re thinking about going to Israel the last week of February 2008 and the first week of March. We’ll leave on a Monday the last week of February and return on Friday the first week in March. And we’ll have a good time. This will be my 15th trip. We’ll have a great time studying the Bible and we’d love to have you along. A lot of people have already signed up to be on our list. If you call in and put your name down, it doesn’t obligate you to do anything, but it will obligate us to get in contact with you to make sure you get the information, brochure and you’re able to sign up in a timely fashion.

So keep that in mind. We have here Tom in Sarasota and we will take this off for a question we have a bunch of those to deal with. According to the Bible, God hated Esau in the womb and he loved Jacob. That is not true. You are quoting from Romans 9 and the quote actually comes from the book of Malachi hundreds in hundreds of years after Jacob and Esau had lived their lives out and many many generations followed of their descendants.

And Esau’s descendants really were not very godly. And in fact even when the Jewish people came out of Egypt and were going to re-enter the Promised Land, Esau’s descendants walked away and they were opposed to the little God and to God’s plan. And it’s interesting. So God later in reflection says he hated Esau, but you can’t find a verse that says he hated Esau and the womb as your question reads. So Tom, I hope that helps out. Take a fresh look at your Bible Romans 9.

It does not say… He hated them while they were in the womb, but it does say that he chose the elder to serve the younger, a reference to how the Messiah would come through Jacob and not through Esau. We now have a caller from Plant City. We have Sandra. And Sandra, welcome to Bibleline. You are on the air. Dr. Lindstrom, it’s really hard for me to understand fully about knowing about no women in the ministry or even in deacons, and it seems like it’s pretty exclusive.

But I love your teaching. There’s so much of it that’s so wonderful. Jay Vernon McGee said that because of the issue of Phoebe being a deacon, that he felt that there was a place for deacons with women, and that especially sometimes mature Christian women, maybe even who are widows. And so I don’t know all of the reasons that Jay Vernon decided that there was leadership opportunities open for women, but it was just something about that that made me feel better in the situations that I’ve seen for women are so totally excluded that some of what they have to bring to the table in terms of their thinking gets eliminated.

I understand what you’re saying and we’re not talking about God hates women or they princed smart or not beautiful or any of those things. But basically God has a plan of order here and I think he’s also guarding us against false doctrine. You know, we go back to the early pages of the Bible, it was ease that was deceived, but Adam was not. And it tells us that in that passage in Timothy when it talks about women being the teachers that They shouldn’t be the ones to teach men and to usurp authority over the man because of that very reason.

It says that Adam was not deceived, but Eve was. So the tendency is for women to be deceived. You see, even Moses’ wife, she almost got him killed because she just refused to circumcise their children that Moses had by her. We find that when the angel of the Lord was ready to kill Moses, after he had already been commissioned to go to Egypt, she knew what it was all about. And she said as she took a sharp stone and circumcised their son and threw the foreskin at Moses and his feet, he says, you’re a bloody husband to me and she was bitter over the whole thing.

Well, we really don’t find that woman very much involved after that. In fact, if you read, I think it’s Exodus 28, he sent her home and the father-in-law took her back. So he, we don’t read about her anymore. She just is off the picture. And basically you could go through the Old Testament and see this in Jeremiah 44. Jeremiah’s biggest problem in opposition to his preaching was women. When Jeremiah taught the Word of God, it says here that the women that were obviously ruling spiritually here.

They said to Jeremiah in verse 16 of Jeremiah chapter 44, as for the word that thou has spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, these women said, we will not harken unto you. We’re going to listen to you. Jump in a lake, Jeremiah. And we just go through the whole Old Testament and show how this has been the experience of what happens. And many cults have been founded by women, Mary Baker Eddie, founded the Christian scientists. And there were things in the Bible that just were objectionable to her.

She couldn’t believe in a hell. So she said, I can’t believe in a god who would send anybody to hell. And so she just wrote her book, the key to the scriptures, to science and error. And she tells you what passages are error and which ones you can’t believe. And so she edits the Bible and cuts them out. LNG White, the founder of the Seven Edvests, does the same thing. She tells you what is true and what is not true as you read your Bible.

The seven deadness will never get cleaned from that doctrine because they read their Bible through the lenses of LNG white and on and on we go. A lot of the modern ones that are on TV right now also have serious doctrinal falls. K. Arthur, lose your salvation. Many of the other prominent ones are leisure salvation and other doctrinal flaws in their teaching. I think it’s kind of scary that we have so many today that are doing it. Women have a wonderful role and they should be, as a sense, to their husbands and serve together.

I like my personal… so. Yeah. Yeah. And then we get to it. And we go. Yeah. And then we go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A professor and a professor in school and work with children. I think it’s a great example for the children to see a husband-to-wife team teaching children. And the man was definitely involved. I was raised in the church where it was all women. was all women and I didn’t see any men at all except for the pastor but otherwise the song leading, the organist, the pianist, the choir director and all my medical teachers from the very earliest years I could remember all the way through high school where all women.

I don’t remember a male example, a male mentor at all. I think we really need to get men to come out of the closet and step up to the plate and take spiritual leadership. Now, I think that that is so important because women are so verbal. I know that the imbalance that I’ve seen is when the men are either absent or do not take their spiritual position or the spiritual authority that they need to take. Isn’t it that balance that becomes so important?

It just seems to me that some of my experiences, I’ve seen it go unbalanced the other way with But you’re right about the churches where the men are missing. Those are very sad. It’s really sad for the children because I thought, well, this is something, once I get 18 or so and go off on my own, that it’s going to end because this is not a man thing. This is a woman thing. And here I am. Absolutely. You know, I understand what you’re saying.

And I certainly know that we got to have some kind of balance here. And women certainly can play an important role. And I think the best way is to do it within the family unit. Thank you, Sandra. Thank you. All right. That was Sandra calling in from Plant City. We have Linda in Spring Hill. Linda, welcome to Bible Life. Oh, hello, Dr. Hank. You were talking about the Bible and I have your new skill field and I have the older one.

I have for like 20 years. But my little grandson is seven and he’s ready to get a deep and Bible. We kind of passed along the precious moments that we had for years and years and years. and it’s girly to be deboot. So is there anything for young children with Scholfield, or do we have to go to like a King James for children? You might have to do that. I don’t know. And you know, you have to just read carefully.

A friend of mine showed me a son of a King James study Bible, and he printed out the introductory pages so I could read them and gave them to me. and inside it said this bible is adapted from the n i d and i said how can that be i mean here’s a it’s called a son of a king james study bible but it’s adapted from the n i d how can it be a king james bible then it’s just seems like what this is a slight of hand it’s a lot trickery going on today and you read on the cover you think you’re buying a king james but it’s not a king james it’s really an n i d where you worked over and uh…

I don’t understand what’s going on today. You have to read carefully what you’re getting when you buy it because it may not be what you think it is. I think the minute they add, you know, revise a study bible, now they can tamper with it more. Anything that’s added on is like a license to add in junk into it. And you know there was this one pastor. I got the name from another internet ministry. And he’s very good, but he put a letter out, you know, like he does a little study pamphlet, and he put this study pamphlet out aboutatchewan of the Bible author and her book, and just ripped it apart and said everything was wrong and false and heard.

And I’m like, are you kidding? It’s a blind man almost could feel his way through all this new Bible stuff and see it’s ntax it. to make an argument without a grin on your face? I agree with you. I mean, it’s so bad. I mean, usually when people come to me with bad doctrine, I usually find that they’re quoting from one of these bad translations that just changed the meaning altogether. And they attacked the price of the plan of salvation and then they integrated the word of God and so many other things.

It’s really sad. Linda, I don’t know of a good answer for you, but thank you for calling in. Thank you. Okay, that was Linda in Spring Hill. We now have Larry in St. Petersburg. Larry, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Hi, good morning Dr. Hank. Yes sir. I called to help clarify some of the teachings on Mary that I’ve heard expressed on your program as a Catholic. Okay. And I’d like to just, you know, as a side, I’d like to just, you know, reflect that, you know, if she was good enough for Jesus, she was good enough for me.

Well Mary is a wonderful godly woman. There’s no doubt about it. Then she was a subject to what God has done. I never got what God wanted to do. She said, let it be according to your will, to your handmade and so on. And she made some remarkable statements here in Luke chapter 1 and no doubt about it. But the Catholic Church has added things that are not biblical, including the Immaculate Conception, which says that she was sinless and conceived without sin, which Luke 147 would refute that.

She obviously needed to save yourself according to her own words. So Mary was a sinner. Christ was sinless, but she was not. And she was a godly, wonderful woman, but she needed to trust in Christ as her Savior. And also the Roman Catholics call her the mother of God. She’s not the mother of God. God doesn’t have a mother. She was the mother of the flesh that God took upon. And Jesus never called her his mother. He always carefully, because I think of these things, that he anticipated what happened.

He calls her woman and he never addresses her as mother because he didn’t want that to take place. So she’s not the mother of God. The flesh that God took upon himself was born of Mary, but otherwise she’s not. And then of course people pray to her, which is again forbidden because it says in First Timothy 2, 5, there’s only one mediator. Jesus said that Mary is not a mediator. she can’t receive and pass long prayers. So I think all those kind of things are wrong and there’s a whole list of things that I would bring up including the false ideas about Christ.

I mean Mary’s death. I was in Jerusalem and saw the tomb of Mary where they claim she was married. I’ve been in Ephesus, Turkey where they have a Catholic Church and the tomb of Mary where supposedly she was interred there in Ephesus, Turkey. And also the Roman County churches teaches at the same time that she never died that she ascended to heaven like Christ. So when you try to address that, they say all three are true. I mean, I don’t understand it.

She’s buried into Ephesus. She’s buried in Jerusalem and then she never was buried at all. So this is the kind of contradiction and confusion that causes me problems. So Mary is a wonderful woman and no doubt about it. A lot of women have wanted their daughters to be like her and they name her Mary. That’s a beautiful name. Yes, the ones I heard put out though that I wanted to clarify Redeemer that is not true and is not part of any Catholic teaching.

And also she could ever be part of a trinity or something like that. I heard that put out once as well. The Holy Quartet. Not going to be that bad. Well you know, I saw a… That’s not a… That’s true. But in Newsweek magazine that there apparently was petitions circulated from 159 countries who were asking Pope John Paul to use his power to decree her to be equal in the Trinity with the other Godhead members. And I thought it was kind of interesting that this was the people apparently appealing to the church to do that.

I’m glad the Pope never did that because that would have been wrong. Yeah, and again it can’t just can’t happen I’ll give you one other point that I really enjoyed the… you always put a smile on my face with some of your… comparisons about how Christ’s hair might have been cut and you mentioned the Caesar cut. And when I went into the parbar shop to get that or ask for it, of course they didn’t know what I was talking about.

For Bush cut Fortunately my Asian barber misinterpreted that so be careful Might lose all your hair if that I like I like you and And I enjoy your show. Thank you Larry. All right god bless. Yeah, Mary a wonderful woman and certainly don’t we don’t want to say anything negative about her but a lot of things have been said about Mary that are not true that are believed by many. We’re now going to go to Keita and Keita is in Tampa, Florida.

Keita, welcome to Bible End. Hello. Hi, is this Keita? Yes, uh-huh. Yes, thanks for taking my call. My inquiry is around, I don’t know if I can write the word versus or is, but it’s a given with the power of Babel and the origins of the language, the human languages and so forth. I took up a course in linguistics that the various languages, all of them did come about it the same time. Each language has its own distinctive languages are evolving.

If you get a dictionary from maybe 100 years ago, you’ll find that dictionary is much thicker because we invent new words each day. The The point I’m asking is regarding that account of the origins of the languages, how they would be able to count what they would have in guard, confuse them by confusing their languages, thus introducing their various languages. But the historical record of linguistics indicates that some languages are older than others. They didn’t actually. you please don’t write.

Well, you may absolutely write. You know, there probably were a number of basic languages that got established at the Tower of Babel, and they couldn’t converse with one another, therefore they spread out. And that was what got intended for the nations to begin, that they would move out of way out of Iraq. But obviously, as you’re just talking about the Hebrew, while the Jews were in Europe, they obviously had some slang and dialects which are really not thecms here it’s interesting that when the jewish people went back to found the state of israel he grew as a pure language which was pretty much lost but the founders wanted it to be revived again and the prophets f and i am predicted that they would go back to the pure language and and and the In Hebrew they speak the day as the same that the writers of the

Bible used to write the scriptures. I was so impressed when I was in Jerusalem at the sign of the book and we saw the Isaiah scroll, that marvelous book, 66 chapters long. The scroll was entire and I was talking to my guide and he’s Jewish and speaks many languages very intelligently. He said, any school child can read this manuscript because we have really returned to the original language that we used to speak. So you’re right. They do evolve. They do change.

And perhaps some of these dialects and slang that have come out and developed themselves into their own breed. But apparently what happened to Bebele though was definitely changing in the languages, some basic language groups that have been evolved into many other different dialects and slang that are the languages that we have today. So I don’t know if we’ll wait and find out one day how that all worked out. But I think that that’s kind of the idea of what happened.

I’m sure that English is still evolving. That would be a very inefficient way of getting God’s word out, using human languages since they are not universal in some languages. You don’t have a word to even mean what that means because this language is older than that one and that one happens at that point. And it’s not fair to be a but I’m just a lay person. We’ll have to wait and find out. But obviously it was God’s intention to have just one language up until that time.

But man corrupted himself too quickly. Right now we have a similar situation with television satellite television and instant news and innocent communication. The world has been corrupted now at a tremendous, really quick rate. And I think that’s part of the end time plan that Satan is going to use. We’re now going to go. Thank you for that call. We have John now in Richmond, Virginia. John, welcome to Bibleline You’re On The Air. Oh, yes. Thanks, Tim McCall, Doug. I just want to ask you a, actually, a quick question about the easy and loud of the product going on back to put solace on.

And I was in a trusty other day. And it seems as if the preacher He used himself as the old prophet of law when he said that the people need to come to and like believe in what he say or he asked or like say for example if you need to buy a house come to him first and make sure you’re making the right decision instead of telling the people that they can go to God and go to Jesus and listen to the Holy Spirit himself.

I agree with that is wrong and I think we need to teach the principles where people can make a wise decision and discern God’s will for themselves but uh… i should have a lot that responsibility myself to have people coming to me asking those questions i’ve got a run people looking up if you will join us again tomorrow and have a great day this is a by the line saying i’m listening to by the line presentation of by the line ministries of pampa florida your donation to by the line makes it possible for this ministry to continue in your area by the lines address is forty eight eleven george road Tampa, Florida, 33634.
