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 1-800-5-771. Now here’s the host of Bibleline, Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Good morning and welcome to Bibleline great to be with you today. Thanks for tuning into the broadcast. We look forward to being with you each and every day Monday through Friday. Thanks for tuning in today.
We’re coming to you live from Tampa, Florida from our studios here at the Calvary Community Church. We’re on the pastor and we always invite our listeners to come by and say hello. We hope that you’ll come by and visit us sometime. That would be great. By the way, we worship on Sundays at 10.30 in the morning and if you tan on the internet you can catch our worship service. We broadcast the message part from 11 to 12. If you just go to my website Bibleline Ministries you can click on the camera and then right there in the center you should see around 11 o’clock Sunday morning only.
The clouds going by and hearing the old record cross and when I actually begin the message you’ll begin to see the video and the audio come up and you’ll be able to watch the worship service and the message that I’ll bring. That’s this Sunday and every Sunday and you can also go back into archive during the week. By the way, on the 19th, a week from this Sunday, we are having our third Sunday dinner. Be my guest, come and join us for the worship and then stay for lunch, dinner, afterward and eat fellowship with us.
If you want to come early at 9.15, you can join my 9.15 adult Bible study. But we are having a baptism on the 19th. If you have not been water baptized, then if you are driving distance and you don’t have a church where you can receive baptism, we will be glad to do it. We’ll be doing it in a beautiful lake setting, just north of the church, and it’s a wonderful beautiful spot. We’ll be doing that about three o’clock in the afternoon on the 19th.
You’re welcome to join us for that. We’d love to be honored to baptize you if you need to. If you’ve been baptized as an infant, it doesn’t count. If you were baptized before your salvation experience doesn’t count. Water baptism is a testimony of the believer after they have been saved. If you have not been baptized since you have been saved, you ought to be baptized as a testimonial of how you are cleansed of your sins by the blood of Christ.
The water is simply ceremonial. We would love to have you join us for that baptism on the 19th of August the 3rd Sunday. Sunday. Or you can come by any Sunday and worship with us, but if you’re living in other cities, please note that you can join us and see us on the Internet. Just go to BibleLineMinistries.org or dot com and then click on that camera and you’ll be connected to the archives, the past worship services, and right in the center between 11 and 12 Sunday morning only.
You’ll catch the Lorschitz service line. We’re excited about being with you today. We’re going to be talking about the Bible for a few minutes and we might get a little interview here with Gershaun Solomon, who is the man who is building the third temple. He has become a friend. We’ve had him here numerous times He has got a 6.5 ton corner stone all cut and polished and ready to go. He’s been cutting the stones for the temple now for many, many years.
He was up on top of the temple mound in 1967 when Mosheldan led them all up on top. They wept the first time the Jews had access to the temple mound for 2,000 years. And he has had this mission to prepare for the building of the Third Temple. We might get a quick call from him. And… He is a real wonderful person and we know that he might be the actual man. He is an Orthodox Jew. I’ve talked to him about trusting Jesus as Savior, but as an Orthodox Jew, he does not believe that Christ has yet come.
And so that Christ is coming for the first time. And I told him he’s going to be left behind. And maybe, therefore, he will actually be the one to build that third temple. He’s been cutting the stones and so on. But I’m praying that after the Rapture if he hasn’t trusted the Lord Beforehand and gone up with us that the blinders would come off and that he would trust the Lord a Savior after the Rapture But he is definitely an orthodox Jew Unsaved but yet God has probably raised him up for this very purpose to build the Third Temple and I would love to see him save.
Of course, we’re praying for him that he wouldn’t. I’ve told him I’ve called I balled eyeball and Gershan you need to trust Jesus as your Savior to go to heaven. He knows what I believe and he respects that and we’re just praying that he will trust the Lord. So we might get a quick call here. But in any case, we know that the Bible is clear that there will be a third temple. And when the Antichrist comes on the scene, which is after the Rapture, that the Antichrist will actually walk into that third temple that will be built right after the Rapture and he’ll make a proclamation to the world that he’s God and the man to be worshipped.
Have your Bible and you want to see that for yourself. It’s right there. It’s in 2 Thessalonians and it’s in chapter 2. And what an interesting passage this is. It says here this man of sin, which is one of the names of the Antichrist. the son of perdition, another name from the Antichrist, is going to be revealed right after a departure, which we believe that departure is the departure of the church, departure of the Holy Spirit, which is the rapture.
Verse 4 says, who opposes and exalted himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God siteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Now that couldn’t happen right at this very moment because the temple doesn’t exist. But the temple mount has been devoid of a temple since 8070 when the Romans destroyed it. But we find that for this prophecy to be fulfilled in 2 Thessalonians 2, there has to be a temple standing when the Antichrist comes on the scene.
So the Antichrist will rise to power during the first three and a half years after the Rapture and he will actually enter into a third temple that we believe will be built right immediately after the Rapture. And according to Daniel 927, that blood sacrifices will be offered and temple worship will be resumed but the Antichrist will stop those sacrifices by himself going into the temple and proclaiming that he’s got. We gotta be close. Not only is the focus on it, by the way in March I was there and we walked right on the Temple Mount Platform north of the two mosques.
There is the El Oxa Mosque far to the south. Then there is the Dome of the Rock, the second mosque right in the middle with the Gold Dome. And to the north of that is the open area where the ancient Jewish temple stood where it can be rebuilt. And according to Ezekiel, apparently it will be built and there will be a wall of separation built around it during the tribulation period to separate it from the profane place. The profane place would be where the two air mosques are.
So yes, I believe the two mosques will probably stand and stay during the tribulation period. And there will be a wall of separation according to Ezekiel that will separate the temple from the two mosques and the profaned area. And of course the Antichrist will go into that temple according to 2nd and 2nd and 2nd and 2nd. We have Gershan on the line and he is in the airport traveling in this country. And we are going to just say a quick word to Gershan right now.
So Gershan welcome to Bibleline you are on the air. Yes sir. All right is Gershan there. Gershan welcome Shalom. This is Dr. Lindstrom and good to be able to speak to you this morning on the air for all of our listeners all over the country. Shalom Dr. Lindstrom. So good to talk with you. It’s a privilege to talk with you and be with you. God bless you my dear friend. I am from Jerusalem to this country to share the world of God.
Well, you know, I had a wonderful time chatting with you last night about what’s happening in the Middle East, and it doesn’t look good for Israel, but we know that God is the one that has told us the outcome, that He’s going to make sure that Israel stays as a nation, and that He will come back and deliver them from the enemies, and so we’re excited about that. Tell us about your cornerstone. I know you have a six and a half ton cornerstone and Tell us how that was cut.
I know that you all have cut it just like the ancient temple stones were cut Yeah, this is The first cornerstone after 2000 years, the first cornerstone for the third temple, cat an according to the biblical law. Diamond and it is a marble stone. We are going in the coming feast of tabina juice which will be a try again to lay on the temple mount and starve the process of the rebuilding of the temple. Exactly as the God of Israel is expecting for us to do.
We are committed for this. This is the rebuilding of the temple in our lifetime, which is actually the end times. We are living in the end times now, time of fulfillment of prophecy, redemption of Israel, the rebirth of Israel in the land of the covenant has got promised us through his prophet, the prophets of Israel. So the rebuilding of the temple should be and will be the main event in the life of Israel and even old. The world is the world because redemption and salvation to all the world will come through Israel and the Messiah as we know will come to Jerusalem and not to any other place in the world.
And from Jerusalem you will reign. The rebuilding of the temple is the condition and the key events because the meaning is that Ken Jacob will again dwell among his people Israel and in the third temple, the end time, the end time, creation, the actors and commande das in Exodus 25, 8. He said to Israel, build me a temple and I will dwell. This is the right time, end times, the time that the Prophet Isaiah prophesied in chapter 2 verse 1 to 4 when he said that in the last days, publishing the highest of the mountains and will be exalted above the hills and all the nations will flow to the temple, to the god of Jacob to learn his ways and Torah will go out from Jerusalem to all the nations and then give attention to what God is telling us.
Then after the rebuilding of the temple, only after the rebuilding will come a new I’m a new era to all the mankind and real peace nations will no more learn on world. They will change their weapons to agriculture vessels and real peace will cover all the world. Amen. So let me tell you that we are are living in an exciting time in Israel, also a critical time. Israel is again attacked The Bible is used by the Arab Islamic enemy.
The Bible is using them at these end times to attack Israel. Their goal is to destroy Israel. Not any other goal. When they speak about peace, they mean to divide Israel to pieces. to a real peace. On one hand, Israel is in a very critical time. As it was prophesied, you know, Ezekiel 38, 39, the Chariot wealth in 14, Israel is attacked, and we in Israel prepare ourselves to face the end-time war, you know, we see how all the enemies gather themselves around Israel with the backing, unfortunately, of the most of the world, and the president of Iran, Ahmadineh Jad, is standing in the middle of the world.
again and again. That is, to remove Israel from the map of the, let me tell you immediately that it will not happen. If they will attack Israel, and they will attack the protected nation, he will become again the GodÍibling, the God of peace. But when the enemies are coming against these people, he becomes the God of war and every promise in the especially in the Kraya 14. I will fight with my people in the field of battle, defeat all the enemies and judge We’re talking with Gershan Solomon who lives in Jerusalem.
He was there at the 60 war when Moschald and conquered old Jerusalem and was on the Temple Mount. He has been ever since with this call he believes to prepare the stones to rebuild the Temple. We’re excited to be able to talk to you today. and we’re excited about the times when we’re living in and glad that you’re out there leading the way. And so in just about six weeks you’ll be trying to lay the cornerstone again. You’ll be trying to lay the cornerstone in just about six weeks.
Yeah, about six weeks we shall try to lean the cornerstone in the same location of the… The first and the second temple has got the commando das in his world and sure that in a short time should be removed. The phone shines of the Muslims that they build on the temple mount after they occupy the land of Israel Jerusalem in the seventh century and build it on the… He’s from the most holy place of Israel and all the world and it should be removed and we shall do the best.
We prepare a huge envelope where we shall locate the mosques and mail them as soon as possible back to Mecca for wealth. where they were brought, and the temple is soon to be rebuilt and be a house of worship for all nations as the prophet of fifty feet. So we are living in a very exciting time, a great time, maybe the greatest time in the history of Israel. And I call everyone in the world to lift his eyes to the root of Jerusalem.
And great events are going to take place there, one end, the critical events, but immediately after this soon as God promised us in his world Jerusalem and a great era of peace and A morality kind, a spiritual time, will be opened for all the mankind through Jerusalem. Amen well Gershan I sure thank you for joining us today I know you’re on your way to another city here in the States and we thank you for taking time to share with us a little bit We’re excited and we’re looking forward to the Messiah coming and we know that the rebuilding of the temple is an essential part of what will happen after the rapture during the tribulation period when Christ is back to set up peace on earth, good will toward men and establish Israel as the head nation and rule the earth from Jerusalem.
It’s exciting. Can you say a final word because we’re gonna have to run? Yeah, Dr. Linso, allow me to get the listeners the opportunity to be a part of this great godly end time and then the rebuilding of the house of God, of his and God is calling everyone in the world to be a part of it. Please help us and stand with us and send you, I ask you to do this holy word. So if you send us, please send us to the disabress, tend to mount faithful movement.
Dear Bob, 1-8-3-5, Jerusalem. Thank you so much. That was Gershaun Solomon. He is the man who has been preparing the stones and getting ready to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem. As we said, the Antichrist will enter that temple. We believe the Rapture happens first, then the Antichrist will enter that temple. and not desecrate it, and then Christ will come back at the end of the sevenPope years to cleanse itlimits it and willuinely establish peace on earth, good will toward man and Jerusalem will become the head city on the earth.
This is exciting. We’d love to hear from you today. This is Bible and I’m Dr. Hank Lindstrom. The phone number is 1-800-576-3771. We just were hearing live from Gershahn Solomon who is the head of the Temple Mount Faithful in Israel. We are now going to go to Dave in Plant City and Dave welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Good morning Dr. Hank, how are you today? Good. I got kind of a scientific question to ask you today. When they talk about global warming, something I’ve never heard any of the scientists mention The first thing we did was we took out of the ground and all the oil we pumped out of the ground.
and Bulgareaturing that the YemeniHig that the earth is out of balance and could be tilted or something and could cause¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ global warming of mention i’d like to hear your opinion what you think i i really don’t believe in the global warming uh… but if there is uh… this happening i think it’s part of the transit The Earth goes through. It goes through, apparently, cycles where it gets warmer and cooler a little bit. There’s a little bit of variance, but I don’t think we’re causing it myself.
Thank you, Dave, and we’re now going to go on to Elisa Elisa in Tampa, Florida, and welcome to the revival on your own year. Hi, Dr. Hain. This is Elisa from Tampa. I think he and my grandfather, he’s met him a few times. Okay. I was wondering if you could say a prayer form. His name is Boyd Wakefield. Okay. And yeah, he’s just gotten a little worse over the past couple days, and I was just wondering if you could say a prayer form.
Certainly. We’ll pray for him. And we’re sorry that he’s not in good health right now. And I’m glad that you’re concerned for him and asking a prayer form. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, God bless you. That was Elisa and her grandfather is apparently in good health and so we commit him to the ward to his wonderful care and pray and pray that if it’s God’s willMods be raised back up. We have Justin out in Brandon, Florida and Justin, welcome to Bibleline.
You’re on the air. Hi. First of all, I’d like to say that Jesus is coming. There’s no doubt about that. This goes, you know, I’d like to say something to all the Christian tactics out there. You are being a Christian. The Christian in the Catholic religion. Okay. Well I’ll tell you, the Roman Catholic Church doesn’t teach much Bible so if you’re going If you’re going to grow as a Christian, it’s essential that you get into the Word of God, and you’re not really going to get it in the Roman Catholic Church because they just don’t really encourage the study of God’s Word.
And I believe the reason why is because if you read the Bible, you’ll find that a lot of practices of the Roman County Church are not The Bibleline is a Bibleline. One of the interesting things is in the catechism when it talks about the Ten Commandments. It names the Ten Commandments. They really are a sleight of hand there because the Second Commandment has been eliminated from their list. and they take the tenth commandment split it make two commandments out of it so they give you ten but that’s a deliberate deception the whole commandment about the graven images and idols is goneploy because they are so guilty ofdL.
Everywhere you look there are images or idols and the Bible forbids that but they’ve removed that commandment. When you read the catechism it’s still in your Bible. But if you read the Roman catechbyterism it says that there are 10 commandments and then when it says what are they it gives you 10 but It doesn’t give you the 10th from the Bible. It gives you 9 of them and the 10th when they make 2 out of. And you know somebody had to plan that out.
And that seems to be like,enses to me, at least a deliberate deception on the part of the Roman Catholic Church to change what the Biblerella teaches to what they want you to read or see. Justin, thank you for calling inSimilar. This is the Bibleline and we’re coming up on our break time and we’re going to come back and do a second half hour.

I got a nice little note from a fellow that graduated from Bible College about 27 years ago, and he was from Holland originally, and he says, I love your presentation of the gospel.
And I just posted it to some James Bond forum where the discussion has been about faith versus works on the internet. Well, isn’t that sweet? And this is Phil’s name is Keys from Holland. And I haven’t seen him for 27 years. But we’re just finding out a lot of people are finding us. We’re going to do the second half of my Bible right now so stay tuned.
Would you like to call Bibleline and ask Dr. Lindstrom a question? You can. Just pick up your phone and dial 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Now here again is Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Alright, we’re back for that break and this is Bibleline. This is the Sakuya. We had Gershahans Solomon live with us on the phone line on the first half hour. He’s the head head of the Temple Mount Faithful, an organization building or making preparation for building the third temple, cutting the stones.
He has a 6.5 ton cornerstone and they’ve cut it by the biblical means. That means they’ve used no metal and in the chiseling of the stone. And they’re set to go and they’re going to try and apparently bring that up on top of the Temple Mount in about six weeks. They’ve tried this numerous times and have been turned away, but they keep trying to bring awareness. When I was in Israel in March of this year, I was amazed at how much of a realization there is among the Jewish population about the need of rebuilding the Temple.
I really hadn’t seen that in past years. We got to see the the menorah that they have made. It’s made out of one solid piece of gold and it’s stood about, I guess, shoulder high. It was a big thing. I don’t know how much it has to be worth with that much gold, but they’re getting ready. And apparently they’re serious about the rebuilding of the temple and when the political situation allows for it to happen, it’ll happen. And of course, I believe that we’ll coincide with the rapture.
I I think we get raptured out and then the temple will be built and three and a half years in the Antichrist will march into the temple as we said during the first half of the program and he will proclaim to these God from that third temple. Then Christ will come back at the end of that seven year tribulation period after the rapture and destroy the Antichrist and set up that temple as the place where Christ will rule the Earth and bring peace to the Earth during that thousand year reign of Christ.
So it’s kind of exciting to watch this all happen. God bless you. Thank you all for listening today. This is a Friday program and we’re on in Tampa on Saturday and Sunday on AM 570 and AM 910 on your AM dial of the radio. And in other areas, I know we are played in other areas over the weekend. I’m not sure the times you’d have to check with your local station. I guarantee you this, if you go to my internet site, you can catch Bible on any time of day, any day of the week, and you can just enjoy throughout the weekend catch programs you missed and maybe review parts that you wantedlopp to hear again.
conspiringandmystries.org.com. We’re going to Herman in Tampa, Florida. Herman, welcome to Bibleline Your On The Air. Thank you. I was reading in Mark chapter 16 as Jesus came back to be with his disciples and everything.ouston.com in my minutes starting from verse 9 all the way down to verse 20. It’s at the bottom,ailable verse 9. It’s not found in the two most ancient manuscripts.Gil What is going on there and and they talked about these best manuscripts They don’t tell you what those best manuscripts are but they are basically the Codex a alpha in the Codex beta These are economfortunatelyibrariesiversalclud The Roman Catholic Church.
And personally, I do not trust the Roman Catholic Church and their custodial care. By the have produced copiesParents that they have sent out to the world, but no one has actually ever been able to go to the Vatican and actually touch and hold and read these two manuscripts that we’re talking about here. And basically it’s really been the basis. for a lot of the changes in many of your modern translations that they don’t actually come in out and tell you what manuscripts are talking about.
When they talked about the best two, they don’t even tell you what they are. But I can tell you what they are if you want to know. And I believe these passages do belong in there and there’s no reason why we should kick them out. And I don’t think because they’re older that they’re better, but I really suspect that they’ve been tam therapred with. And we’ve only seen copies that have been distributed, but we’ve never seen the originals nobody because they are kept under lock and key under the considered care of the Roman County Church in the Vatican.
And I would not really say there’s any good reason why we shouldn’t believe that they belong there. There’s nothing there that’s contradictory to what we know to be true in the Bible. And we believe that these are, I believe it’s part of the Bible and that should not be kicked out. Thank you for going in. Appreciate you. All right, that’s Herman in Tampa, Florida. And we have just got a new supply in here of the new age Bible versions book for Roose of 20 dollars.
That is a gem, almost 800 pages that will really give you a lot of insight into what’s going on here that there is actually a spiritual war going on attacking the Bible. You know, Jesus is the living word and the Bible is the written word. Satan hates both. And so he’s very cleverly attacking the Bible. And the Bible warns in Revelation 22, 18, 19 about taking away from the Bible or adding to the Bible. Well, Satan’s pretty clever. He knows if you add to the Bible, that would be really kind of in your face and you’d pick it up immediately.
But the lesions are much more subtle. So most of these newer translations have deletions. For example, the NIV dropping 44 verses in their entirety, along with hundreds and hundreds of other deletions. Well unless you’re really carefully watchingONDON, you won’t notice that something’s missing. But there are so many verses that are missing in so many of the Bibles. You know, in John 647, I love this verse, it says, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me has everlasting life.
What a wonderful verse. But you know, in the new American standard, it says, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that believes has everlasting life. Wow, it doesn’t tell you on whom you’re to believe. And it just drops the most important two words that tell you that you have to believe on Christ to be saved. and unless you believe in Christ, you do not have eternal life. And then also, when Jesus said, get behind me Satan, that’s missing for the new American standard.
Amazing how many people think that Bible is worthy, but it’s got a lot of flaws to it, including an attack on the deity of Christ where it says in 1 Timothy 3, 16, in the King James, it says, without controversy, great as the mystery of godliness that God was manifest in the flesh. What a wonderful verse that is. But you know, in the New American Standard,DragonMagazine says, by our RoveThumbnailImagenv common conch. It seems to be saying there that the deed of Christ was upon our vote, our opinion.
That’s nonsense. And then it says he was manifest in the flesh. Well, that’s meaningless. was too because you’re manifest in the flesh. I’m manifest in the flesh. My friends are manifest in the flesh. But when the Bible says that God was manifest in the flesh as it does in the King James, that’s pretty clear. But it is an attack, I think, on the deity when it says he was manifest in the flesh. That doesn’t say anything to us. We’re going to Auburndale and we’re going to talk to James.
James, welcome to Bible on your own Yes, a quick question. A while back, Roe versus Way, that woman, not to get her name, but she converted to Christianity. And my question to you is, Mal- mayo have to uh VIDEOS for her mistakes of leading these other people straight is that correct well who’s this woman talking about uh… what the call of the fact uh… when roe versus way about the abortion issue oh yeah right i uh… and she converted to christianity now that means now she’s trying to fight the court Dr.
Hank Lindstrom. What’s the point of the decision that she can be able to say no, now the courts are not going to do that. So therefore she is now has to account for all these other people’s sins. Well I think that she feels guilty for that. You know she didn’t apparently know any better. She got saved and all of a sudden she realized what the consequences of what she did was. But, You know, she’s okay. I’ll listen to you.
Come here. Okay. She’s gonna have to live with that and that’s unfortunate for her and that’s sad and it’s sad that the courts ever made that ruling to begin with so wow, that’s just unfortunate what’s happened in our country and abortions being allowed and and apparently just millions of babies slaughtered and certainly it’s a soundie in times it seems like There’s a connection there too even with the first coming. You know when Christ was born, Herod killed lots of little babies.
And here we are getting ready for the second coming and what’s happening in the world. Lots of innocent babies are being slain. That is so sad. We’re going to now go ahead and try to catch a few of the off-air questions here. I want to catch some of these that are down here on the list that we’ve missed here. We have Gail in Richmond, Virginia. She says, please explain Ephesians 4, 8, 9, through 10. That is the passage that tells us what happened when Jesus died.
He went down into the heart of the earth and he carried a group out of the heart of the the earth captive up to heaven. And it’s talking about the Old Testament saints waited in a place called Paradise in the heart of the earth until sin was paid for. When Christ died, he went to the heart of the earth. Matthew 1240 said he’d be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. We know also that was called Paradise because he told the dying thief in Luke 23, 43, today thou shalt be with me in paradise.
So Christ went into the heart of the earth into paradise and he proclaimed liberty to all of the Old Testament saints who were waiting for sin to be paid for. They had what we call, or what I call, a layaway salvation. They couldn’t actually enjoy it until it actually was fully paid for. That’s what happened at the cross. Then Christ went down and proclaimed liberty to them. And on On the third day, it says he ascended far above all heavens and he led this group captive up to heaven itself.
So this is what it’s talking about. We do thank you very, very much for calling in Gail Jane in Richmond, Virginia. We have Angela in Tampa, Forty, calling in. She says, please comment on the following Bible translations, the New King James. has a lot of problems and I was hoping it would be a simple changing of the archaic words and bringing them up to speed but they did a lot more than that and unfortunately they changed the meaning in some places.
For example in Matthew’s Gospel it says narrow is the way that leads into life in Matthew 7, 13 and 14 but they change it to say difficult is the way. That’s a totally different concept. Seems to imply salvation by works. a narrow meaning that Christ is exclusively the only way to heaven. And that is, of course, not true. The new living translation is terrible. This is a paraphrase. And the new living translation, every time the word repent occurs, they have taken apparently a word processor and just copied in, turned from sin.
The Greek word repent is metanoia means a change of mind and it does not have any connection with turning from sin. But apparently they don’t know that or don’t do their homework and they just put every place. I couldn’t believe it. I went and checked all the way through. And every time the English word repent occurs they put just turn from sin, turn from sin, turn from sin, which is totally works for salvation again because we don’t turn from sin to be saved.
We trust that Christ paid for our sins and when you trust Him God saves you. And then God’s word, that’s another newer translation, but it’s a one man deal and I just don’t trust these one man things and I haven’t read it all the way through yet. My goodness, I don’t like any of these that you just mentioned here. The New King James, the new living translation, and this new in-call God’s Word, I don’t like them. And Angela, I hope that helps.
I’m sorry. The book we have will really shittle out of insight. The new age Bible version book by… by 800 pages really will show you what is going on here behind the scenes. It really is an attack on salvation by grace, the deity of Christ, the integrity of the Bible being the Word of God, and on and on major doctrines are under attack. And Satan is using the publishers of these translations. You know Christ said 2,000 years ago, beware of the scribes.
Who are the scribes today? Well the scribes were the guys who copied the Bible. Who copies the Bible today? the publishers. Jesus said 2000 years ago, watch out for these guys. Be aware of the scribes. So watch out for these publishers. They’re not watching out for you. They’re not looking out for your best interest. They really don’t care whether they give you an accurate Bible or not. So we really need to be on the alert and hopefully Angela, that’s been helpful.
We have Adam calling in from Arvada, Colorado. And he says, I know several people that believe in praying in tongues. They claim it as the perfect prayer. Can you elaborate and explain how Romans 8, 26, and 1 Corinthians 14, 23, and 13, 1 is misinterpreted by them. Romans 8 is easy. It talks about the Holy Spirit interceding when we don’t know how to pray as we want. The Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf with groanings, it says, and The last phrase answers it all.
It says, which cannot be uttered. Anybody that makes an audible sound is obviously, that’s not the Holy Spirit praying. So you can count that out because I have to, I’ve been in these places and they moan and they groan and they do their gibberish and they claim that the Holy Spirit is praying. And I say, could anybody hear it? I heard it. They say it of course. And I said, well then, it’s not the fulfillment of scripture because Romans 826, it’s not audible.
It cannot be uttered. So that is false. Also, 1 Corinthians 14, when they talk about this as being the prayer language, and it talks here in 1 Corinthians 14, too, about the misuse of the genuine gift. It talks about how that when they were in the Corinthian church, instead of speaking in Greek as they should have because the people in Corinth were Greeks and understood the Greek language. It says that they were speaking in a foreign language but nobody there understood.
So it says in verse 2, he that speaketh in an unknown tongue. Now the word unknown is in italics. It’s not in the original manuscripts and that’s why the translators put it in italics. I really got fooled as a young believer because I thought of Talisized words were the most important. But in the Bible, the translators are Talisized words that they added and it really means they don’t belong there. And if you can read the verse without it, you’re better off.
But it’s really saying here, the translators are trying to let you know this was a known language but unknown to the hearer. So if you were in the Greek church in Corinth and somebody spoke to you in Swahili or Chinese you wouldn’t understand it. That’s what it’s saying. He that speaketh in a language unknown to the hearer speaketh not unto men but unto God because God understands all languages. And then it says why? For no man understand of him.
If they don’t understand what you’re saying, that’s why he’s speaking to God and not to men. How be it in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. If I spoke on this program for an hour in Russian, probably everybody would turn it off after the first few minutes because most of you would probably not understand the Russian language. And so God understands Russian, so I’d be speaking to him, and you would say as you listen to the program, boy, it’s a mystery what Dr.
Englishman is saying today because I don’t understand him. God must understand him, but nobody else does. This is not talking about a secret decoder type prayer language and why would you need one anyway? God understands English and so you pray in English but this is talking about speaking in the church A language that nobody in the church understands, so God understands it but nobody else does because you’re using the wrong language. So it’s not an approval of a so-called prayer language.
There’s no such thing in the Bible as a secret prayer language. They make this up totally. Thank you for calling in from Arvada, Colorado. We have some more offer questions, but we’re going to go now to the land floor and we have less on the line. Less welcome to Bibleline good morning. Yeah, I just want to make a comment on the last caller on the row versus. Yeah, sure. It just didn’t seem that made it very clear that you know, he he’s died for her sins as well as all of this.
He’s just watching the blood at all. No matter how brief it is. Amen. And she’s saved. That’s a good comment. I’m glad you brought it up. She’s saved and God has forgiven her. But I’m sure she carries the guilt of that. And as any of us do when we make a mistake or do something wrong and there are consequences that follow us, we feel badly about that. But God has truly forgiven her. and we thank God that she has come to know the Lord and that she’s trying your best.
I think we ought to give her a lot of credit for that. Thank you. We have Adam in Arvada, Colorado, calling in. I have an aunt who is associated with the way international. Could you elaborate on this cult? Well, that’s found by a man named Paul Wireville. He’s in, I guess hell now because the whole cult denies the deed of Christ. You don’t want to have anything to do with it. And they are easily meeting a home Bible study situation and I would be very careful.
It’s false. I believe I have something written on my website. If you go to Dr. Lindstrom’s articles, I think I wrote one on the way cult and you can learn more about it. But they’re false. And the The key thing is that they deny Christ being God in the flesh. That’s very important. Tim and Pinellas Park calls in and he says, what was the angels first estate in Jude 6? I believe it was the planet earth. That all of the angels at the creation were on this earth and Satan or Lucifer was the God of this world and they left this first piece of real estate.
They left their place of habitation according to Jude 6, and they tried to ascend to heaven and overthrow heaven. God cast them back down onto the earth and judged them, and the earth I think became without form and void as we find it in Genesis 1 and 2. And then God then decides to make the earth inhabitable again in seven days, and this time puts man on the planet. We have Mr. Anonymous from Dade City and he’s been gone for a while.
He’s reappeared. Anonymous, welcome to Babylon. How are you doing there? I’m doing good. This is Bob, someone calling a left word. It’s in the Bible. He reads the Bible. He’s reading it. And he’s been up. And then when he gets through the scripture, you’ve got to stand up when somebody else is reading God’s word. All right. Thank you. I don’t know of any scripture that says that. when somebody else is reading God’s Word. All right, thank you. I don’t know of any scripture that says that, but it is interesting that when Christ taught, usually the people stood and he sat as he spoke to them, that’s kind of fascinating.
And that seems to be everywhere the case. So in any case, there’s no scripture would teach that you have to stand up while the scriptures are being read. He may have wanted them to do that out of respect for the Word of God or something else. There are different customs that people have, but I don’t think any of it can be supported by the scriptures. We have Grace in Sun City Center. She says, please come in on C.S. Lewis.
C.S. I really don’t feel like it was a Christian. We have a book in our resource center that will expose a lot of his beliefs. He believed in evolution. He believed the Bible had errors in it. He… He was a patient, didn’t believe in hell, believed in salvation by works. When he died, he had a priest as he was dying, come to give him last rites. And he was obviously believed you could lose your salvation and taught that you could lose your salvation.
So I don’t think he ever had salvation right and I don’t think he was a Christian. And so I really don’t like C.S. Lewis. And hopefully that’s an answer for you. We now have Adam and in a couple questions on I have heard you mention about people being slain in the spirit. And I know you have given some verses on that. How it took control of people and they keep slain in the spirit there and uncontrolled. and i was wondering if you can direct me to some verses on that well what i think is interesting is that in the bible the examples of it are people that are not saved at all in john eighteen you have uh…
the soldiers that came in the garden to take christ And when they said they were looking for Jesus, the Nazareth and Christ used his divine name. I am. They all fell backward and went right down on their back sides. And they were unsaved. I can’t find examples of believers doing this kind of thing. So maybe unknowingly they’re tipping us off that these people that fall down are not saved at all. And I suspect that that’s the case. I don’t believe it or saved.
And I think this is a practice that cannot be supported in the Bible and is in the Bible always of somebody who’s unsaved. We’re out of time, but we’ll be back on Monday.
