We hope that you will be one of those that will come by and visit with us. Here we are on 9-11, the anniversary of the destruction of the Twin Towers. A brand new video is released here from Ben Lodden and he tells us, we shall come at you from your front and back. You’re right and you’re left. This is according to the Arab television, Al-Shidira, and it says that certain America would suffer the same fate as the Soviet Union.

Well, interesting. We’re living in the last days, and America is obviously being threatened again by Ben Laden. This is the day. Maybe they might try to do something today. It’s certainly free for America and of course the Russia Shama is coming up and that will be of course coming up on Thursday. It actually begins tomorrow at noon here in America but sundown in Israel but we’re six hours ahead so that will be noon tomorrow through Thursday noon. here in America.

It’s from sundown to sundown, so that will be tomorrow night through Thursday night. That’s the Jewish New Year, but also the Feast of Trumpets. The most likely day that Christ would return on should he come. We’re excited about being with you today, and I hope you’ll be listening to Bible and all this week. We’re on live every day from 10-11 Eastern time In many areas we are playing at different times of the day. So whatever time you hear the program we hope that you’re enjoying.

And of course you can call in and leave an all fair question if you like. You can also of course call in between 10am and 11am Eastern time and actually go up live on the air with us here on Bibleline radio. We’ll be taking our calls in just a minute the phone numbers 1-800-576-3771 1-800-576 3 771 so give us call we’d love to hear from you and we hope that you’re Doing well today and we pray that We might all be looking up because we could be ratcheted out in the next day or so.

Wow, interesting. But I don’t know the date of the rapture, so don’t misquote me and say that I said that we would be raptured up this year. We had a visitor come in this morning and he said, I thought you weren’t going to be on the air this weekend. I said, why do you think that? And he said, you said it on your program. And I said, you must have misunderstood what I said. I said, if the rapture happens, then we will suspend all of our programs.

And he only heard the last part of that. So I have to be careful. If the rapture happens, I’m gone. So definitely we’ll not be doing a Bibleline or any classes or anything. We’re going to be in heaven with the Lord. So now we’re live. We’re here. We’re going to be here all week unless the Lord does come. And if he does, obviously we willalysespend our programs and we hope that obviouslyblogs will be suspending all your activities too because we’re going to be with the Lord.

It’s exciting and I hope you have your Bible there. We’re going to take a look at the Bible. Again the phone number if you want to call in and get lined up to get up on the air. It’s 1-800-576-3771. The Bible is clear that a Savior would come into the world born of a virgin Isaiah 714. It tells us the Lord would give a sign a virgin would conceive and bear a son and would call his name Emmanuel. Emmanuel is an untranslated Hebrew word.

It means God dwelling with you. Jesus is God. clearly the Bible reveals that the Messiah would literally be God himself taking on human flesh. We find that Micah chapter 5 verse 2 tells us the birth of this virgin born son would be Bethlehem. It tells us which Bethlehem where the Bible tells us about two Bethlehems, one up in northern Israel in Zebulon and one in southern Israel next to Jerusalem there in Judea in Ephrata and that’s the one the Bible predicts that Christ’s birth would take place and that’s of course where Christ was born.

The Bible is amazing! It tells all these things in advance. The life of Christ has been foretold in the Old testament. There are, it is said, 330 detailed prophecies of the first coming of the Messiah. Many of these took place in the 24-hour period around when Christ was crucified. But you know, every one of them literally took place. If you gave each one of those prophecies, individual chance of 1 in 10 probability that they would be fulfilled to put all 330 together and say that they would all be fulfilled would be 1 chance 10 to the 330th power.

That’s quite a number. That would mean a 1 with 330 zeros after it. Just writing that would be quite a task, wouldn’t it? Can you imagine writing 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 330 times. Wow! Well, you wouldn’t gamble with those kind of odds, and yet the odds were against this could be possible that they could be fulfilled, and yet Jesus fulfilled all of them. That tells us this really has to be true, that the Bible has to be the Word of God.

There’s no question about it. And if you gave them only a 50-50 chance of being That would mean it would be 1 chance in 2 to the 330th power. That would be about equivalent to 1 chance in 10 to the 80th power. Can you imagine? 80 zeros. 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 80 zeros. You know, the Lotto, I think, is only one chance in 10 to the sixth or seventh.

So there’s only 60,000,000,000,000. That’s it. And yet, if you play the Lotto, you probably will never win. Even with those twitcher, this small in comparison with the odds against the the prophecies of Christ first coming, being literally fulfilled. The Bible is incredible. That’s why God said He would tell us these things before they would ever come to pass so that we could know that the Bible is true. That’s what convinced me years ago that we have an incredible book here.

This book is like no other. God Himself declares that these things are going to come to pass and He says, therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign, behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel. The Lord was going to give that sign, and here it is recorded in his word in Isaiah 714, 740 years before Christ ever came to first time. Incredible. And that’s why I believe the Bible is the Word of God.

It tells of his depth, of his burial, of his resurrection. All of that is in the Old Testament. One of the fascinating passages in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 15 where it talks about the gospel. And the gospel message is a simple one. It’s the message of the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. And it tells us in 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 3 and 4, this by the way is the passage that gives us the classic definition of the gospel.

If you were to look in the Bible and say, where is the gospel defined? Here it is. Are you ready? 1 Corinthians 15, verse 3. It says, I delivered unto you. First of all, that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Well, it’s interesting here that it says, Christ died for our sins and then it says according to the Scriptures and it’s referring here to the Old Testament. Corinthians was one of the first written New Testament books and at this point the New Testament wasn’t around and it’s referring to the scriptures in the Old Testament that foretold how Christ would die for our sins.

Wow! That’s amazing. So long before Christ ever came, Psalm 22, a thousand years before Christ ever came, tells that his hands and his feet would be pierced. What an amazing prophecy. Whose affliction was a Roman custom, introduced hundreds and hundreds of years later, and yet the Bible accurately predicted that Christ would have his hands in his seat pierced as the means of his death by which he would bring us the gift of salvation. Amazing! The Bible tells us that Christ would die for our sins according to the Scriptures.

Numbers 4 goes on to say, and he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. So we find the burial, the resurrection, all there in the Old Testament. It was foretold even the fact that he was buried in a rich man’s tomb, Isaiah 53 contains that. The fact that Christ would die with thieves, he was crucified with one on either side. All of that is in the Old Testament. Amazing, amazing, amazing. That’s my friend, the reason why I believe the Bible’s the Word of God.

You don’t want to gamble with the Bible. If you die without Christ and do not go to hell, it’ll be the first time the Bible was ever wrong. I don’t think you’d like to gamble with odds like that. You say, well, I’m going to just take my chance as well. Your chances are about zero that you’ll not go to hell. The Bible is so accurate that the odds against you going to hell are, you know, it’s a sure thing you’re going to go there.

The Bible’s never been wrong. And then all of a sudden you think it might be wrong in your case. If you die without Christ, it won’t go to hell. My friend, if you die without Christ, you’re going to go to hell. The Bible is very clear and I say that because we don’t want people to go there. Christ didn’t want people to go there. That’s why he died. He gave his life on the cross because God didn’t want anyone to go to hell.

You can right now receive the gift of everlasting life and be certain of going to heaven by simply believing the simple gospel message, the message of the death, the burial, the resurrection of Christ that had been foretold in the Old Testament through the prophets and is amazingly accurate telling us exactly when, where and how Christ would die for you and for me that he would be buried, that he would rise again from the dead and that his death would be his death.

dying to pay for your sins and mine. Amazing! But God so loved the world that you, he gave his only begotten Son that is Christ, that whosoever if you would believe or trusted Christ you would not perish but you would have everlasting life. Have you done it? Well if not, do it now. Don’t waste another second. Just tell the Lord, Lord I am a sinner and we all are. I am. You are. God, I trust right now Jesus Christ is the one who died to pay for my sins was buried and rose again from the dead.

The moment you trust Jesus as your Savior, God saves you. Would you do it? I pray that you do it right now. The moment you do God saves you and you can know he does because he promised that this word and his word is never wrong. God can’t lie Titus 1 2. He’s certainly not going to trick you or mislead you. I’m Dr. Anker and Clinton. this is by blind we’re going to go to the phone lines it’s one eight hundred five seven six three seven seven one we have colleen in jacksonville florida and colleen welcome to bible and you are near good morning dr lance term uh…

i have always on driving in my car so i’ll ask quickly and i’ll hang up and take my answer off air uh… just a couple things uh… there’s like three i’ll say quickly um… is it okay i didn’t get catch what you were saying about russia china that we We can celebrate the Jewish holidays with them. And then the second thing is somewhere, I think it’s in the book of Matthew, I don’t have my Bible because I’m driving it, says we should not call anybody father or teacher.

The father part I understand because God the father is the only father and down on earth we call our dad’s dad. But what about the part where it says we shouldn’t call any man teacher because later on it says we will be teachers. And then the third thing quickly was about this was a little bit more, I was talking to somebody about the rapture, they belong to a different denomination. They said they don’t believe that they’re the rapture. They said they believe that Jesus is going to come back one time only because they interpret the part about it’s that’s where those who are lying remain to be caught up in the cloud.

They believe that’s all happening all at once and because some other place in the book revelation where it talks about these are those who come out of the great tribulation. So they believe that we will go through the tribulation and when Jesus comes back everything will be finished at one time. So I just want you to kind of explain all that to me and I’m going to hang up down with him. Thank you sir and have a blessed day.

All right. She gave a lot there to try to deal with. As far as observing the Jewish feast days, that could be something that you could observe. But we’re not under the law. So this is not required, but it’s interesting to learn about them and they were a prophetic picture. And the prophetic picture of the first four feast days has been fulfilled. It’s a done deal. But there are three still outstanding that talk about repudia the future events, the rapture, the feast of trumpets, the tribulation period, the feast of atonement, and the millennial kingdom, the feast of tabernacles, those are still to be fulfilled and we believe they will commence on the very day of those feast.

And so this is what we need to watch. So definitely keep your eyes out there looking for Christ return. It could be that he’ll come this week on the Feast of Trumpets, which will signal the close of this present age, the church age, and begin the tribulation period. By the way, we’re not going to go through the tribulation. There is a rapture. There’s a lot of bad teaching out there, and that’s a sign of the end times in itself.

2 Timothy 4, 3 and 4 says the time would come when they would not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lust they would heap themselves teachers having itching ears. They want to be entertained today. And because of that, they turn away their ears from the truth and turned on to fables. We need to be very, very careful to stay with the Bible. The Bible is very clear that there is a rapture followed by a time of destruction. If you just read 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 and chapter 5.

It talks about when the rapture happens, a period of sudden destruction will come upon the earth. Then the Lord will be in 2nd and as long as it talks about his return to a third temple that will be built after the rapture. Then he will set up his kingdom here on this earth and rule forever and ever and ever. A lot of churches don’t even teach on prophecy, and yet nearly one verse in every three in the entire Bible is in some way connected to prophecy and the Second Coming of Christ.

So if you ignore prophecy, you’re doing a great portion of God’s Word, and certainly that’s a serious mistake. Howard Hendricks out of Dallas Theological Seminary wrote a great book on hermeneutics, study of interpretation of the Bible. He tells his seminary students and those who read his book on the topic that definitely a pastor is remiss who doesn’t teach about prophecy because one-third of the Bible is prophecy. Wow! A lot of pastors are ignoring a great portion of God’s Word, and they are yet commanded by the Lord to teach all of the Word, all of the counsel of God.

When you read about Paul Shinzo, he said that he declared and withheld nothing from God’s Word, and he used the Old Testament as well as the New, and he unfolded these wonderful truths as we just read from Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 where he says Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. That’s the Old Testament he was referring to. And that he was buried and that he rose again from the dead on the third day. So definitely the Bible is indeed the Word of God.

And we’re just living in a time of confusion. And that’s because the author of confusion is about to emerge here on this planet in a human being. That man will be the Antichrist. Satan is the one who is causing such confusion today. Things are turned upside down. What people call bad, they really mean is good. What they call good is really bad. The Bible warns about when values are mixed up as they are today. Nobody knows what’s good or bad.

We’re living in the last day. That is a sign of the end time. Colleen, I hope that helped a lot and call back if we didn’t catch it all, but we’re going to go now to Bob in the Comas, Florida. Bob, welcome to Bibleline You’re on the Air. Good morning, Dr. Lenstrom. How are you doing today? Good. Where’s the Comas, Florida? Right in between Venice and Sarasota, right on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s definitely a gem of an area.

Beautiful. Well, thank you for telling me that. I wasn’t quite sure. All right. Well, my question today, sir, is regarding the thousand-year reign of Christ on Earth. And then after that, why does Satan need to be loosed for being loosed for if everyone’s already saved? Well, the answer is that the millennium begins with all saved, but these are people that are saved in the tribulation period after the rapture and are still in their mortal bodies that have not died.

So they will have children, their children will marry and have children and so on and so on. And all of these will have a nature inherited from Adam, so they will be sinners in need of a Savior. And what is interesting is that with Satan and his angels bound up during that Millennial Kingdom, with Christ visibly ruling here on the earth and the earth filled with the knowledge of Christ, apparently the wickedness of the human heart is such that millions will not trust Christ as Savior that are born during that thousand-year kingdom.

And so when Satan is loosed, he shows or exposes that as he’s able to round up this huge army, Revelation 20 verses 7 through 10, describe it. And he brings this army of unbelievers against Jerusalem, of course, Christ very easily wins. That’s the last battle that Satan engages in. He loses rather quickly and verse 10 tells us he’s cast into the lake of fire. So I believe shows the failure of man and also shuts the mouths of those who might have an excuse and say, well, hey, the devil made me do it.

When in the millennium they can’t point to the devil as to the reason for their unbelief. It’s the wickedness of the human heart. Jeremiah 17 9 says the heart is desperately wicked. deceitful above all things, and certainly that will be exposed during the Millennial Kingdom. And that was just a question. Alright Bob, thanks for listening down there in the coldest Florida and I didn’t really know where that was before just now. We don’t have Brad in clear water for that Brad.

Welcome to Bibleline. You are on the air. Good morning Pastor Lynch Trump. That’s what I call and tell you that I will be visiting your church on Sunday and I do have a church question. I’ll listen to you last week. How do you feel about the salvation of Ishmael being that the Islam can trace their lineage He’s a little lineage all the way back to him and a lady told me that go further than that all the way back to King.

I’ll hang out and listen to your response by radio. Okay. Okay, well the lady’s wrong. They can’t be traced back to Cain because Cain’s descendants all found in the flood. All of us in the human race are related to Noah and his three sons and their wives to known as wife and those eight people along are our great ancestors. Nobody today is a descendant of Cain except maybe in their unbelief and rejection of the truth. By the way, if you do come this Sunday, there will be a dinner following so you’re choosing the right day to come Brad and we hope others will come and join us if you’re in drivable distance and join us for the 1030 service be my guest to stay for lunch following.

Again, we are excited about the days we are living in, another big announcement from Ben Lauden today.

He says that they are going to come after us here in America from the left and from the right and from the front and from the behind. We are being threatened and I don’t know if they are going to do anything today on the anniversary of 9-11, but certainly we are living in the end times when the Bible said the earth would be filled with violence. I think the rapture has got to be close. But to be something, if we went out this week, the 12th of September is a Russia-Shana.

It really begins on Wednesday at 60 m and runs through Thursday at 60 m. And of course, that’s the way it would fall in Israel. here in America, we’d be six hours earlier that would mean from six o’clock to tomorrow through six o’clock on Thursday. That would be the potential rapture date. Anyway, we’re going to go ahead and go to the phone lines. Got a lot of people sitting waiting and we’re going to go to Van in Tampa, Florida and then welcome to by one year on the year.

Yes, good morning. Thank you for taking my call. You’re welcome. I’d like to know about the woman’s role in the church. It’s a biblical for a woman to be pastor of a church and I’ll hang up to hear you answer. Okay, then. The answer is I believe no, not at all. I would recommend that you turn to 1 Timothy, chapter 2. Let me just read these verses to you. And this is a very, very clear passage. Finally, all the T books in your New Testament are together and in alphabetical order, so that ought to make it easy for you to find these wonderful books.

First Timothy, chapter 2, says in verse 11, let the women learn in silence with all subjections. 12. But I suffer or allow not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” So there you have it. Paul is talking here about women’s roles in the church, and they are not to be teachers of the Word. This is a unique word here translated to teach, It has to do with teaching or preaching the Word of God and women are not allowed to do that.

Now, when it talks about women teaching, they certainly can teach. But in the book of Titus chapter 2, it outlines what they are to teach. And it’s really not teaching the Bible, but it is saying in verse 3 of Titus chapter 2, The aged women likewise that they should be in behaviors become a holiness, not false accusers, not given a much wine, teachers of good things. So there’s the beginning of the list here. Teachers of good things that they may teach what?

The young women, number one to be sober, teach the young women to be sober, number two to teach the young women to love their husbands, number three to teach the young women to love their children. Number 4 to teach the young women to be discreet. Number 5 to teach the young women to be chased. Number 6 to teach the young women to be keepers at home. He also has the promise to teach young women to be good, to teach young women to be obedient to their own husbands.

And there’s a whole list of 8 things there that women are to teach. But it’s never told that they should be teaching the Bible. So they are not to be the spiritual leaders in the Church. in the church and the reason why Van is in 1 Timothy again verse 13 through 15. It says number one because Adam was first formed and then Eve. So God set up an order based upon creation. And so man was created first Eve second.

So he gave man the spiritual responsibility and the headship within the home and in the church for spiritual matters. Then secondly, Because it says here, Adam was not deceivers, 14, but the woman was deceived in the transgression, telling us that women are more easily spiritually deceived when it comes to doctrine. And you know, it’s oftentimes because women think emotionally, whereas men think factually. Now men have their flat sides because sometimes we can be cold-hearted, but the women think more emotionally and therefore sometimes will make decisions based upon that and therefore fall into error.

This was even true of the wife of Moses. Did you know that? In fact, God almost killed Moses because of his wife because she would not accept what God had said that Moses should do in circumcising her son. If you go back to Exodus chapter 4, you’ll find here it says in verse 12, it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met Moses and sought to kill him. Why did God want to kill Moses?

He had just told Moses that he was going to send him to Pharaoh to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt. Why would he want to kill Moses? In verse 25 of Exodus chapter 4 we have the answer and that is Zapora, the wife of Moses, took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at his feet and said surely thou art a bloody husband to me. She did not want to circumcise her son.

She said that was bloody. Apparently it was going to be inflicting pain on her baby and she just was not going to do that. Here we have Moses’ wife refusing to obey scripture. And as a result, because Moses was held responsible, God was going to kill Moses for allowing that to take place. And notice we find here in verse 26, so he let him go. God let Moses go. Then she said, a bloody husband thou art and because of the circumcision.

And we don’t read anything more about Zapora. She was not a very spiritual woman and obviously did not adhere to the teachings of the Bible and of God’s word and almost got Moses killed as a result. Interesting isn’t it? And as you go through the Bible and you read about women, it seems like it is women that more likely are probably more likely to think after their emotions or heart and Zapor I think She certainly loved her child and she said, I don’t want to circumcise him.

I don’t want to cause blood to be shed or pain to be inflicted upon my son. And so she just refused to obey the word of God. And that’s basically it. Some of the cults founded by women. Mary Baker Eddie said, I can’t believe in a hell. I can’t believe anybody would ever be sent to a hell. I can’t believe in a God that would do that. So she denies hell. The seven-day Adventist deny held. LNG White said there is no hell.

Again, she’s thinking emotionally. He says, well, I just can’t accept the God who would send anybody to hell. So she denies hell. And these cults all have, as their platformer is no hell, because again, women are at the top. And I really tell you, it’s hard to find a good Bible teacher as a woman, because they usually all are flawed. The major ones that are out there in your face on radio and television today are doctorly wall just tell you that all right we’re now going to go to travis down in abradon to florida and that happens welcome to my one year on the yet question absolutely we’re ready to go I had a friend ask or I was talking to a friend of Lincoln and he said that he had heard someone preach.

I think it was Hank Lindstrom of that his name. You’re probably talking about Hank Hennigraft or unless you’re talking about me. Hank Lindstrom, yes. Okay. And he had said something about that you were given scripture, whatever that says that when the rapture takes place that children wouldn’t be caught up with Christians. No, there is no scripture that says that, but it’s my opinion that they will not because this is not about taking all off the earth. It’s just evacuating believers.

And so the believers alone will be taken, but children are unless they’re a believer aren’t going to go. If they’re believers, they will. Is there any scripture to back that up? Not that I know of, but it’s my opinion. I just shared my opinion. I usually let people know when it’s my opinion if it’s a Bus safe lord. I’ll tell you that’s what the Bible says and then that’s that’s the end of the story But it is my opinion.

Yeah, I was just real surprised to hear that There was no scripture but I but the reason why again is because This is not like the second coming when Christ comes back and and and slays and kills everybody that’s unsaved but, or at the flood when children and adults alike were drowned in that flood of Noah, but they all died, they all perished. I believe the ones under the age of accountability that died before the flood probably were saved because I think all children before the age of accountability should die would go to heaven.

And that was the blessing in all that, but definitely this is not This is not the ending of life as it was in the days of Noah and only the Savior in the ark and survive. But this is simply an evacuation of believers in life will continue for the seven years and during that time millions will get saved. Okay, and I had another question for you. You say that you believe that talking and tongues ended back and tongues anymore, or that was something that ended at Pentecost?

No, it didn’t end at Pentecost. It began at Pentecost, but it ended with the completion of the New Testament. 1 Corinthians 13 verses 8 through 10, tell us that the gift of knowledge, the gift of prophecy, and the gift of tongues would cease when the New Testament record was completed. exactly what history bears out. You don’t read in the second and third centuries the early Church Fathers didn’t talk about speaking in tongues. It was over. Also in the Middle Ages nobody spoke in tongues.

You read nothing about it. The Reformation time by Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, all the reformers, none of those spoken tongues. So on right on down until 1906 when the false movement began and what’s being done today as a gibberish is done by all the world religions. It’s not the biblical gift of speaking in a known language or dialect of a language to evangelize, which is what the reason for the gift of tongues is all about to begin with.

Do you think in your opinion that speaking in tongues could happen at all today, let’s say on the mission field or something like that, or do you think it’s gone altogether? It’s all gone, gone, gone, gone. No tongues today. It ceased. The Bible says it would cease in 1 Corinthians 13 8 through 10 and the word cease there means to come to an utter and complete halt. So it’s done for. It’s over and there’s no need for it today.

But there was a need for it at that time. And this was the main reason why was because God was switching from the Jews being his major witnesses to being, to using the Gentiles as his witnesses. And to have it happen on the first day since all the first Christians were Jewish, he had to give the gift of Gentile languages on Pentecost so that it could start off on the right foot on the very first day being a time when God said during this age Jewish people would be evangelized in Gentile languages.

And so the Jews that got saved at Pentecost were saved by hearing the gospel in a Gentile language and these were Jews that were part of the the spore that came to Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost and they said how here we every man in our own tongue or language or dialect in which we were born and raised and that was the miracle of it is that they come from a Gentile country where they had been born and raised and certainly understood who Hebrew but we are not expecting these Jewish apostles to speak to them in the very dialect of that Gentile city where they had been born and raised and 3000 got saved as a result.

How are you? Well, thank you very much. You’re very welcome and thank you for calling in to Bibleline today. We have Lou up in Jacksonville, Florida and Lou welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Thank you pastor. I got two quick questions. The first one is talking about woman teaching. I want to know what you think about like they say somebody like George mayor, which is the first time in church. you know it looks like she’s inspired by god and all that and the second question that i have i i i got at the end of that conversation when i tell the radio and about the millennium uh…

i never understood why after that jesus comes and and conquer world that what will have a thousand years uh… well they’ll let state and we can all go to the will let uh… people getting to see the game and i just i will always confuse with that and i will let you answer on the uh… but i i gotta go but i will be found ready okay thank you lu up in jax and the four first of all joe smires is not doctorly sound she claims that she hasn’t sinned for the last ten years do you believe that i don’t it says in first john one eight if we say that we have no sin we the seab ourselves in the truth is not in this so apparently the truth is not in joe smire and she is deceiving herself.

She also believes you can lose your salvation. That means she believes in works for salvation, which is a totally counterfeit plan of salvation. She also believes in tongues and the other gifts of the Spirit which we believe have ceased. There’s not much sound doctrine with Joyce Meyer at all. So I can’t see why we’d obviously, if that’s the case, then Joyce Meyer has not even saved. So why would you want to listen to an unsaved lady teach you? And that’s the problem with women teachers.

So I do not believe that she’s a believer, that she’s saved. She might believe something, but she doesn’t believe the correct doctrine from the Bible. And that is the warning of the last days that people would want their ears tickled, so they listen to people like this that are entertaining, but they’re not giving you the straight scoop from the Bible. And of course the issues of prophecy were in the last days. Lew in Christ is returning soon and he’s going to snatch out every believer wherever you might live on the planet earth.

And seven years of tribulation will follow and millions will get saved during that time. And those that live to the end of that seven years that are saved will enter into the millennium. And the thousand year reign of Christ has to do with God’s plan for Israel. He’s going to let them be the head nation on the earth and he’ll reign as their king. But we find that these people will still have a sin nature and their children that will be born will have a sin nature.

And so sin is still going to be around us. until after the thousand year reign of Christ that there will be no more sin. When we have the new heavens and new earth, then all the lost are cast into hell along with Satan and his angels and the believers will live in a sin-free environment in the New Jerusalem and on the new earth forever and ever and ever. We now have Troy and Troy is in the land Florida. Troy, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air.

Good morning, Pat. I’m just going to listen to you and I’ll see you Sunday for service and I just want to thank you. All right. Very good. Coming over from the east coast of Florida to worship with us on Sunday. That’s wonderful. Well, the Calvinist view is that you do not have a choice. God has elected from the foundations of the earth who would be saved and who would not be saved, who would go to heaven and who would go to hell.

And so if you are a Calvinist, you just have to hope that you win the lotto in a sense and you have to hope that God has chosen you. That is not a correct view at all. That’s the view that John MacArthur holds. He believes you have no choice at all, that God makes the choice for you. I mean, it’s all done deal. a lot of the radio teachers are Calvinist and obviously this is a wrong view. DL Moody I think said it correctly.

He said the Whosoever wills are the elect and the Whosoever won’ts are the non-elect. The John 3 16 I think teaches very clearly that God elects to save those that believe it says for God so love the world that’s the whole human race. That he gave his only begotten son, God had planned that before the foundation of the world to give Christ to die for your sins and mind. That whosoever what, believe it, the choice is yours. If you believe in Christ the Bible says that God has determined before the foundations of the world that you would not perish, but you would have, present tense, possess everlasting life upon belief.

But the negative part is also there that if you don’t believe then you will perish and you’ll not have everlasting life And so God elects to save the believers and it’s your choice Whether you’re going to become a believer or not, but he does not make your choice for you And so for that’s the difference That’s a simple answer, but we could go through some of the scriptures with you if you have any That are causing you problems. We’re going to go to James now in Lakeland, Florida and James welcome to Bible Bible and you’re on the air.

Yes, Dr. Hank. Yes. Good morning. I have a question for you. I’m thinking about Dr. B. James Kennedy and yesterday we. First today we, I don’t know whether you’ve touched on this in the program already, but what is his belief? What is his doctor’s belief? Because yesterday I had a program they were honoring his life. And in the program I thought I heard works, a lordship salvation and I correct. I believe he had a touch of the Lordship in his message, where not always.

Sometimes I heard he was really clear and other times he seemed to imply you had to have some things there that, and generally as a Presbyterian, he believes in the, I think, the five points of Calvinism that that would mean that you believe in the perseverance of the Saints. So unless you persevere to the end of your life, then you have not been chosen. And so they bring works in from the back door to accommodate that point. That is unscriptural.

I think really all the five points of Calvinism as believed by Calvinist are wrong. The fifth one being the perseverance of the Saints is the eternal security point of Calvinism, but it doesn’t bring security, it brings a lack of assurance, because unless you have works, they say you’ve never been chosen. But I’m eternally secure, but I’m not secure because I’m going to persevere. I’m eternally secure because Jesus perseveres because he is faithful, and he’s going to deliver on the promise that he made.

And it’s not dependent upon me at all. Once I trust Christ, go to the Bible and have eternal life and I’ll never be lost because Jesus is faithful and He will never break His promise. So that’s why I’m eternally saved and has nothing to do with my behavior or my conduct. It has to do with what Christ did for me at the cross. Yes, sir. I’ve never had yesterday. As a matter of fact, I was able to listen to it twice on this radio station.

that’s basically what i heard what i heard secure about going to heaven because i believe that i’m going to endure to the end and that’s that’s what i thought i heard in his message and uh… and uh… you’ve cleared that up sir and i thank you very well that is exactly the fifth point of calvinism which is the perseverance of the saints that the one who’s truly elected would persevere right till the end of their life and uh… mccarthur says in his book hard to believe that if you made it up two weeks till before your death and then you departed, then it would prove that you had never been chosen and you would not go to heaven.

So basically it implies works that are required, whereas the Bible doesn’t teach that at all. I think that’s totally false. And it’s just Calvin got it backwards and everybody’s trying to make Calvin’s belief I am eternally saved because of Christ perseverance, not because I persevered.
