Welcome to Bibleline with Dr. Hank Lindstrom. Coming to you from Calvary Community Church in Tampa, Florida declaring God’s love through radio and television, providing real answers to an ever-searching world. Got a question? Dial toll-free at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Now here’s the host of the video. Good morning and welcome to Bibleline. Great to be with you today. Thanks for tuning in to the broadcast. We look forward to being with you each and every day. Monday through Friday we come to you live from our studios right here in Tampa, Florida at the Calvary Community Church where I’m the pastor.

You’re welcome to come by. We’d love to meet you. We enjoy having our listeners come by and say hi. Our resource center is open every day until about 4.30 in the afternoon. Adinida. afternoon. You can come by, knock on the door and I will give you the royal treatment and we’ll get a chance to meet you. That would be great. If you live in another city, you can join our Resource Center or take a look at our Resource Center by going to the website BibleLineMinistries.org.

BibleLineMinistries.org. Click on the online bookstore and you’ll be able to visit our Resource Center from wherever you are in the world. By the way, also, our program right now is being streamed to the internet and you can catch it live on the internet from anywhere in the world and you can go back and listen to the program again and again as it will go into archive. We have about two years with the radio programs sitting there waiting for you to take a listen to and also we have our Sunday worship services.

We have a years with a sermon sitting there, audio and video. You can watch and listen to the Sunday Sermons and you can of course catch that sermon live on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. if you go to the website BibleLineMinistries.org and if you click on the camera at 11 o’clock Sunday morning when the message actually begins the audio and the video will come up and you’ll be able to watch and listen to the Sunday morning broadcast. By the way, you’re welcome to come by this Sunday.

This is our third Sunday, and we’re having a dinner after the morning worship, and come and join us with 1030 worship, and then bring your Bible, your family, your appetite, and stay for the lunch. A lot of great home-cooked food, great fellowship. We’d love to have you, and I hope you’ll come this Sunday and join us for that. And this Sunday, we’re having a baptism. If you have not been water baptized, you have been saved, you ought to be as a testimony of your faith.

It does not save you. Water has nothing to do with your salvation. The dying thief on the cross never had a chance to be water baptized, yet he was saved. And he is an illustration of how we are saved apart from any human work or effort on our part. In Ephesians 2, 8, it says, by grace, or by mercy are you saved through faith in Jesus Christ and it says it’s not of yourself. It’s the gift of God, it’s not of works.

Well St. E. Manchin boasts then water baptism is a human work and certainly it is not a part of our salvation. It is a testimony of how you are cleansed of your sin by the blood of Christ and when you trust Him you’re saved and you’re saved forever. In any case, we’d love to baptize you if you haven’t been baptized. You’re welcome to join our service at three in the afternoon and you might as well make a day of it if you’re coming from any distance.

Come to the 1030 service in the morning this Sunday. Then stay for the lunch and then go with us to the baptism which is a few miles from Bibleline headquarters here and we’ll include you if you’d like to be a part of that. Call and get your day on the list. If you would, that would be nice and then we’ll expect you and of course we can answer any questions before you come. Also, we want you to know that we have some wonderful resources in our Resource Center.

We have things that are very inexpensive. We have some great gospel tracks that really work that actually lead people to Christ. One of these is called, Am I Going to Heaven? Tell you how good these things are. We had a fella that gave one of these out to a co-worker that fella being polite, put it in a shirt pocket, took it home, put it in his dresser drawer, and didn’t look at it again. Until 13 years later, he was cleaning out his sock drawer.

I don’t know why it takes been so long to clean out the drawers, but… 13 years later, he found it again. He set on the edge of his bed and read it and got saved. What a wonderful story. So here the track laid dormant in a dresser drawer for 13 years. This track works. If somebody actually reads it, there’s a good chance it will get saved. It really works. And we have those available in bundles of 100 and they really do work.

They really are clear and people really get the point when they read it. the point when they read it and they do trust the Lord as their Savior. Also we have the skill field Bible and again if you go to your Christian books through you’re probably going to get one of the newer versions of the skill field Bible and they have added notes that are not by Dr. skill field. They have watered down the old notes. To get a copyright renewed or a new copyright you have to change 10% and so in order to accomplish that.

They changed all of Dr. Scofield’s notes and watered them down and then they added new notes. And so they got a new copyright on the Scofield Bible. So you really don’t want that one. The old is superior. The old is better. And we hope that you will get one of those because it’s going to be an invaluable tool for you. It is geared to doctrine. If you want to know about inspiration, about evolution, about angels, about demons, about salvation, about heaven, about hell.

All of these things are clearly laid out in the Scofield Bible and you’ll be glad you have gotten yourself one. Plus we have commentaries, we have two great ones. One is called the Jameson Possett Brown commentary. Usually sells for about 150 or more and we have it for a gift of 100. It covers something on every verse of the Bible. It’s really my favorite. Then we have the James Vernon McGee. Five volumes, beautifully bound. Cover something on every chapter of the Bible.

That one retails for 200. We have it for 100. These will really help you. If you get both, you’ll really have some pretty good coverage on every verse and every chapter of the Bible. Plus, many more things call and ask for a resource sheet to be sent to you. We’ll mail it right out. And you can also go online and look at our online bookstore at BibleLineMinistries.org. We’re going to get into the Bible and we’ll be taking our calls.

We’ve already got people calling in. We’ve got to offer your questions. We’ve got a lot of things to accomplish today. It’s Wednesday. And we thank you for tuning in to the Bible. Bibleline program. We’re going to open our Bibles up and let me give you that phone number first so you can go ahead and maybe call in and get on in line to be up on the air. 1-800-576-3771, that’s 1-800-576-3771. So give us a call and we’ll get you up on the air in a few moments.

We’re going to turn to the book of Genesis. The question comes up, It seems again and again and it’s amazing to me how it does. But in Genesis 6 we have the story of prior to the flood of Noah, how that the sons of God verse 2 saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took the wives of all which they chose. Well, the sons of God here are believers. That’s how it chews throughout the Bible.

By the way, in John 1 Paul that says to as many as received him, that is Jesus Christ, to them God gave power or authority for them to become the sons of God, to them that believe on his name. When you trust Christ, when you believe that Jesus Christ is who he claims that he is, that he is God who took on human flesh, that he is the one the prophets had foretold would come. That would be born in Bethlehem, that would be born of a virgin.

It would actually become one day in his second coming, the King of Israel and King over all the earth and bring peace on earth good will toward men. When you recognize that this is the one who died on the cross and by his death and shed blood paid your sin dead, you become a son in God’s family. The Bible tells us that angels never become God’s sons, never has God ever called an angel his son and if you look at Hebrews 1 5 it says under which of the angels that God say at any time thou art my son.

The answer implied is he never has. In fact as believers we become higher than the angels although in creation they are higher than we but once we trust Christ and become the sons of God, we become higher than the angels. The phrase here, the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and took them wives of all of which they chose. The daughters of men and the phrase sons of men always throughout the Bible refers to unsay people.

You’ll find it’s amazing how it tells us, for example, in Psalm 14 about the sons of men. And it says, these are those who do not call upon the name of the Lord. In other words, to be saved, the Bible says, whose whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved? And those that are the sons of men are clearly those who are not saved, who have not called upon the name of the Lord. But the sons of God are those that have called upon his name, that they believe that he is who he claims that he is, and in John one fall it says to as many as received him, that is Jesus Christ, to them God gave authority for them to become the sons of God, those that would believe on his name.

So those that call upon the name of the Lord, those that trust Christ are saved. So often though they say that the marriages were between angels. Well, First of all, it can’t be angels because God never called an angel his son. But number two, in Matthew 22.30, Jesus said angels do not marry. They’re not given in marriage. And by the way, there’s no instance in the Bible of any female angels. So how in the world could angels marry their own kind and have angels, baby angels as their children?

There are no baby angels in the Bible. There are no women angels in the Bible. Angels always appear in the Bible in the masculine. And I’m just amazed that people collect angels. I’ve been in many people’s homes and they say, look at my angel collection. And I look and then sometimes I have to just bite my lid because they’re all female. Whatever they’re collecting is not angels because I had one man. He just was bored at Christmas time shopping with his wife.

You know how Mendel liked the shop in the wall and he just went on a quest. He said, I went through that whole mall and I asked every place do you have any male angels that I can buy? And he would just not only ask the clerk, he’d ask the manager and he said I’m looking for a male angel. He couldn’t find one in the entire model. Now they have plenty of angels for sale. This is Christmas time, you see.

But there are no such things as female angels, but yet today it’s gotten so reversed that all the angel replicas that you buy are all females. So if you have a collection like that, I hate to break your bubble or burst your bubble, but guess what? Whatever they are, they’re not angels because there’s no such thing. Another simple thing which I discovered years ago as I studied on angels and I taught some courses on angels, I could not find a verse in the Bible that says angels sing.

That may not be too exciting for you to find out, but it’s amazing at Christmas especially. You have all these hymns, choirs of angels, and harch the herald angels sing, and they’re almost all talking about angels singing. There’s not a verse in the Bible, not a verse in the Bible that says that angels sing. Now if you look, you’ll not find it. Now if you have one of those terrible translations like the NIV, which accommodates whatever people want to hear, it’ll translate it sing, but the Greek word does not mean that.

And there’s not a verse in the Bible anywhere that says that angels sing. You can’t find it. Not there. Not a big point. There are no female angels. There are no baby angels angels don’t sing angels don’t have wings. They don’t have halo’s They always appear in the masculine form. Well anyway, what is often taught is that giants will result of the marriages of angels with women Can’t happen Angels don’t marry Matthew 22 30 Jesus makes that very clear, but what people I’m amazed And I’ve read some pretty good Bible teachers that have this opposite view and they don’t read their Bible carefully.

It says in verse 4, there were giants in the earth in those days. And then it says, and also after that, after that, after that, after that, I don’t know why they don’t catch this, but it says after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, they bear children to them. Who does the giants were there prior to the marriages? to try to say that the giants were the result of merges is not what the Bible says the Bible says there were giants in the earth in those days and after that after that After the chance we’re already here.

The sons of God, the believers, came in unto the daughters of men, unbelievers, and they bear children to them. What happened here is the world was corrupted because the gospel didn’t flow, as God had intended it, through the family, through the Father, to the children. And here we had believers bearing unbelievers, which is forbidden. If you’re not married and you’re planning on getting married as a believer, you are not married. not to marry an unbeliever. And here’s the very reason why.

And such what happened here is that the whole world really didn’t pass the world, the gospel down to their children, and so you only had finally one family that was saved, that was Noah, and his family, his three sons, and their wives. Eight people were the only ones that believed at the end. In any case, angels don’t marry. Angels aren’t in Genesis 6. The sons of God and Job and other places are not talking about angels. Talking about believers, John 1, 12, again, to as many as received Him Christ, to them God gave authority for them to become the sons of God, to them that believe on His name.

So when you believe on Christ, you become a Son of God. We never become angels. Angels don’t become men. There is a clear distinction in the Bible. And I hope this helps clarify this a little bit. But if you’re not a believer, then you are not a Son of God. And if you’re not a Son of God, then you cannot enter heaven. The only way to enter heaven is to know Christ as your Savior. And once you receive Him by faith, trusting that He died for you and shed His blood to pay for your sin.

God saves you and you become born again and become one of God’s children and for the first time God becomes your Father and you become His child. That is really good news. I’m Dr. Hank Lidstron, this is my blood and we’re going to go to the phone lines, we have lots of callers here. We’re going to go first to Mike in Kentucky but before I go there I want to give you that phone number one more time it’s one eight hundred five seven six three seven seven one one eight hundred five seven six three seven seven one mike in ashland kentucky and mike uh…

welcome to five line you’re on the air hey uh… thanks for taking my call you’re welcome I’ve got three quick questions here. When we get to heaven, we know our loved ones. My mom’s been gone 11 years and dad’s been gone. Well I know them as my mom and dad. I heard several different people tell me different how they perceive it. But I know when Jesus was from the mountain there and I believe it was Elijah and Moses, the people recognized him and they knew that they were who they were.

who they were and i was i was this wondering about you know what will i know they have absolutely and i believe you use pick up on a great a great illustration of that because there’s going to be something about our resurrection bodies that will just naturally know each other even if we haven’t seen each other before and I think obviously Peter James and John when they went up into the Mount Transfiguration in 1917 had never seen Moses in Elijah they lived hundreds of hundreds of years before they ever came on the He’s been on the scene and yet they recognize them immediately.

Right, okay. Well my next question, it’s been several years ago I remember reading a book at church one time about tears in heaven. And I think it was taken from the verse there in Hebrews where work and past about was such great a cloud of witness and the way it was explaining was that people in heaven could look back and forth. and heaven could look down and could see things we were going through or how we were living in this and it brought sorrow to them and I think it was tears in heaven and then when He gets into like revelations where God says, They didn’t tell you why all the way here.

Well, that is not true. The people in heaven cannot look down and see what’s going on down here if they did that would bring sorrow to them. Right. And I don’t believe they can see what’s happening down here at all. Right. And they just have to wait. But… Those, you know, when we stand before the Judge of the State of Christ, which hasn’t happened yet, all believers will stand there. Those are the church age, and we’ll have our works examined that apparently there’ll be those who will be ashamed, those who will experience the loss of reward, the regret, the sorrow that comes by, not having served the Lord.

I believe there will be tears shed and it won’t be after the thousand year end of Christ that God then comes away, comes over and wipes all the tears away from our eyes. Right. But then we got tears because they’re seeing what’s happening down here on the earth. God doesn’t let that happen. Well what is saying there in Hebrews 12, I know exactly what you’re talking about and I’ve heard that same thing explained to me. What it’s saying is that the people that God has mentioned and reviewed for us in Hebrews Chapter 11, which is the Hall of Fame Chapter, is that these people have been testimonies or mentors or witnesses to us.

And they are the ones that we ought to look back and copy and duplicate the wonderful qualities that they had in their lives as believers. were men of faith, men who believed the promises, men who acted on that faith, and the heroes of the Bible. So, I don’t believe that there’s a grandstand in Heaven where people are cheering us on, like I used to hear as a young Christian, but I believe it’s rather that the witnesses to us through Scripture are these heroes that are listed there in chapter 11, chapter 12, He says, this great cloud of witnesses, obviously, is a group that we ought to follow and uses our mentors.

Okay, last, like I said, my mom has been gone 11 years. I don’t believe that she is able to come back and give me any advice or watch over me or what. But I’ve had four different occasions since she’s been gone of experiencing. It was a clone that she wore. And on four different occasions for maybe about 10, 15 seconds, I’ve walked into a room and there, it’s like she’s there. Of course, you know, like I said, I don’t want to be absent in the body to be present with the Lord, and I don’t think that the Lord’s going to let her come back and just let me know that, you know, she’s watching over anything like that.

But I just thought that those experiences were strange and I mean I don’t think it says I don’t think it says any, as far as I know, anywhere in the Bible that God would allow that to happen, but I just thought those were peculiar incidents, and that it’s when they… When they’ve happened, I mean, it’s just, I know that it will. Yeah, I don’t really believe that those are, obviously your mother, and I don’t believe they’re even real. I think sometimes our mind plays tricks.

We have a wonderful mind and we have memories. And if there’s something that you see quickly in just for a few seconds, we’ll trigger a memory. I think that’s what you’re seeing. But there’s no real appearance on the behalf of your mother. I have gone and left this body there in heaven in the presence of the Lord. They’re not coming back Right, we’re gonna. I see them So I wouldn’t put a whole lot of stock in that and this is where Satan can really get us off track where we go See right and looking and the Bible tells us that we’re not to seek the dead or pray to the dead Dr.

Hank Lindstrom I just want to say that in a couple of years, I’ve never seen her or anything like that. It’s just that certain smell that I guess remember her as a certain clone that she wore. And, you know, sometimes I think that’s the Lord just let me experience that as a memory. I think it’s a memory and the Lord does allowing you to experience that memory and to think fondly on your mother, but it’s not her appearing. How do you hear this up there, Mike and Ashland Kentucky, are you listing off of a station there in the area?

Again, we’re in August and the summer has been a little bit slow and we really want to come out on our feet at the end of August. And that means that we need your prayers, we need your financial help. We hate to talk about money. We’re not really trying to get your money.

We just want to stay on the air. And it takes a lot of money to do that. We don’t pay any salaries. I don’t get a salary. And then the people here on the program, volunteering on this program, they’re all volunteers. And we do that because we want to reach out as far as we can with the gospel and with Bibleline. And we’re excited about that. We get really responses from all around the world, especially from the internet here.

I have an email in my hand here. It came from a fellow named Kaisa. His last name is Paul, and he lives in Kampala, Uganda. That’s right. And he’s the Africa. And he comments here. He says, I’m so happy to find your website, which can help me test myself to see if I’m in the way. They have it. Isn’t that wonderful? We have people writing us on email from all around the world. And here’s one that came in this morning from Uganda, Kampala, Uganda, in Africa, East Africa.

We’re excited. And pray with us so we can continue to reach out and touch lives around the world through Bible and 115 countries so far have logged on. And we’re on all six continents. a seventh kind of but we don’t have any response yet from Antarctica maybe some pinquin will dial us up on the internet but right now we’ve got people in Asia and Europe and Africa and Central America and South America and North America and Australia and the Pacific Islands and you name it there are people all over the world that have been logging on to the Bibleline website and I hope you will and give it a shock.

In any case, we need your help financially. If you would be willing to help us, would you call in and give a gift to Bibleized by credit card? You could do that today. That would really help us. But if you can give it this month, that would really make sure that we could maybe come out standing on our feet at the end of the month financially. And certainly, we hope you’ll pray for us if you can’t give, we understand.

But if you can pray for us, we know that God is a great God that can supply. So give a gift if you can. Goodbye blind today. I want to thank in advance. God bless all of you who pray for and give to Bible and you’re making it possible. And again, we’re not really trying to get your money. We don’t pay any salaries. This is all to get the message out. And we hope that you’ll join us on that.

I watched the Olympics in my Michael is 11th gold record after that I turned my radio on I had my little dog Frankie and then you catch Bible and in the morning I get all this station I just well James we thank you for calling in and we hope you’ll continue to listen and I’m glad you’re watching for Christ return which is so great we’re gonna move on to But our next caller now, we have Carol in Richmond, Virginia, and Carol, welcome to the Bible and you’re on the air.

Oh, yes. Is this Dr. Heye? Yes, it is. Well, I have a question that I’d like to ask you. It’s a lot confusing to me. Earlier today, saved. Yes, ma’am. And I know that Christ liked to refer to himself as Son of Man. I was just thinking that’s all that the daughters of men were unsafe but yet Christ liked to refer to himself as son of him. Well here we go let’s just talk about that for just a minute.

The phrase son of in the Hebrew means to have the same nature, the same characteristics to be in essence the very same and when he’s called the son of man, he speaks about his humanity, his human nature. Jesus Christ was God and man at the same time. He’s the God-man. He’s God who came and took on human flesh. He’s also called the Son of God. So that means he had all the qualities and the very nature of God himself.

And so the Bible tells us that he is gone and he is man. He’s also called the Son of David, which many had the qualities of David, the shepherd king. And he is of course called the good shepherd that gave his life for the sheep and so on. how he is obviously coming as a second coming as a great king. So it’s a reference to that and obviously when it refers to the human race we are called the daughters of men or the sons of men referring to our humanity without Christ.

But once you become a believer you then become born again and become the son of God and the The Bible says that God’s seed remains in you as a believer once you become a believer and as you’re born again it’s of God’s incorruptible seed and we have his seed innocent remains in us forever. So we have this incorruptible birth that comes about from God and so we as believers now are called the sons of God. But you’ll find that if you do a word study it’s consistently used that way of the human race.

The sons of men usually referring to men in their natural state without Christ but believers who become saved, obviously when you believe you do become saved you become a son if God. Okay that that cleared it up for me because I was a little confused why the daughters you know were though and saved and yet he called himself son of man. So when he does that he’s referring to his earthly Thank you. Thank you. You’re very welcome and God bless you.

We’re now going to go to Antoine in Tampa, Florida and welcome to Byline. You’re on the air. Yes, this morning I heard that God does not colonize in chapter. If you read it there, if you read it there, this one with the article, that can only refer to one person. And we know that there is only one that is George to go to hell and to go to die, that is on a position. But here, God called in son, that’s on a woman.

I mean, I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, he’s the son of hell. He’s the son of tradition. This is a man who is going to be empowered by the Antichrist and dwelt by the Antichrist and is referring to this man of sin. He’s also called that in the same verse. And he is the one who comes from the author of sin, which is Satan. And so yes, indeed, that is a particular person, but this is not talking about about an angel there is talking about a man.

Oh my friend, that cannot be a man because he is the one that is with the article. That’s because only being one man in history of our creation. I agree with you and there’s one man that Satan will involve during the tribulation period after the rapture that will be called the man of sin, the son of tradition, and he will be defeated by Christ at his second coming and cast alive into the eternal lake of fire. If you read Revelation 19 verse 20, it says that when Christ comes back, he takes the antichrist, who is also called the beast, and casts him alive into the everlasting lake of fire.

So, it’s not talking about an angel. It’s talking about the antichrist. We now have an angel, actually his name is Angel, Angel and Tampa on the line and Angel welcome to Bible when you’re on the air. Good morning, Pastor. God bless you. You’re talking today about Angel’s name, huh? I know. There is an ungodly movie by volleyball with Christopher Walk and plays Gabriel and Gabriel God love us. See, you said it, God love us. He’s a young guy and all these movies and Hollywood are based on the Catholicism, you know, that couple is doctrine.

Well, actually they have an angel married at the last one. It’s three movies called Prophecy. An angel and a woman having a child, this child to be fit the evil angels. That’s not true, it’s very ungodly. But the only thing I gather is that God loved one of these movies and Gabriel is jealous. So that’s the thing that I know that the angels are not a son of God. And I’m not seeing a story about the Olympics, the children, the Americans and other countries, they lose and they start crying.

Looking for a corruptable clown. I’m waiting for my incorruptible clown, Jesus. Have you been watching the Olympics? Bits and pieces, I know exactly. exactly what you’re talking about and you’re right you know for the believer uh… we are looking for crowns in heaven that are incorruptible and will abide forever and and there are five different ones mentioned that can be earned by the believer here on the earth and uh… these other crowns are or these metals that they win are only a temporary reward and And as believers, we need to focus on the things that are eternal.

You’re absolutely right on Angel, and you got it right. And I think a lot of our teaching about angels has come from artists and from different bad teaching, from churches. I’ve been in St. Peter’s in Rome numerous times, and there you have these beautiful sculptures, of little baby angels. They’re just as cute as could be. They have these little baby wings Friday out of their back, and there’s proportion so well, and they’re plump, and they got beautiful smiles on, but there is no such thing as a baby angel.

But I think people because of the artwork and the churches endorsing these things seem to have applied to things that are not biblical at all. I know. I was all Bible. I only sold male names. That’s what I know. Well, God bless you and thank you, man. You’re doing a great job, Pastor. Thank you, Angel. Angel in Tampa, he’s a man, but he’s got the name Angel. We’re now going to Clark in St. Petersburg. Clark, welcome to Bibleline Year on Year.

Thank you for second my call, Dr. Len, from the scripture field desk that joined together and become one. Welcome to Heaven. Now when I die and go to Heaven, we’ll be reunited as one again. Thank you for talking to us. Okay, Clark. As you will not be men and wife in Heaven, the Bible says that in Matthew 22 it talks about that we will be as the angels are as far as soon as we can. marriage is concerned there will be no marriage in heaven, having children in heaven.

But you will know each other and you will be reunited, certainly. We are going to be joined together to our loved ones and we will see them again, but you will not have them as your wife. In Matthew 22 there is a hypothetical case there brought up by it. The Sadducees, the trap Christ and they talked about a man that had married this woman and he died. And according to the Old Testament law, because they had left out children to carry on the family line and inheritance, the brother would marry her.

And he married her and he died and didn’t leave any children. So the third brother married her. And finally, seven brothers had married this one woman. woman, of course, one at a time, each one died. I don’t think I would want to marry that woman. But in the end, they said, whose wife shall she be of the seven? Because she really was married to all seven of these brothers one at a time. They all died off. And last of all, she died.

Christ answers the question in Matthew 22.30 and says that we don’t marry in heaven. So there will be no marriage in heaven. We will be as the angels are as far marriage is concerned, no procreation and so on. So, but you’ll be together and I think we’ll all be brothers and sisters, one big happy family, but you’ll recognize and know your children, your grandchildren and your wife and other family members, but you won’t have the same relationship as you did here on the earth.

Clark, I hope that helps that I know you’re missing her, but you’ll get to be with her and it’ll be a great day when that happens. Alright, we’re now going to go to Ken and Ken is in my ami. Ken, welcome to Bibleline Year on the Year. Hey Hank. Good morning. How are you doing? Good. Well that’s good. I hope I don’t get cut off like you cut me off in the past, but I mean no harm. I was talking in reference to the sons of God.

just wanted to make comment that the same meaning, the title, Sons of God is not the same meaning, the Old Testament. In the New Testament it does, as you said, it applies to those who have been born again, because apart from that we’re known as the Sons of Men, and when we receive the gift of God we become Sons of God, as you said. In the Old Testament it applies to angels. And it’s used five times in two times in Genesis and three times in the book of Job.

And the Son of God, it denotes a being brought into existence by the creative act of God. Adam was known as the Son of God there in Luke 338. but as he bore children they took on the image of Adam. But in Job also, it makes it clear that, I don’t have the corner of truth as to what happened in Genesis. Yeah, we covered that yesterday about what happened in Job. That scene is on the earth, and those are believers that came together to worship the Lord, And these sons of God were worshiping, and Satan had been observing them, and God comes along, and then he has, yeah, Satan, have you considered my servant Job?

In chapter 38, it’s not talking about angels, but it’s talking about stars and stuff. Today we know that stars sing, that each one has a sound that they admit. We have radio telescopes that pick up those sounds, and we have them all over the world, picking up sounds from stars and can map the heavens with the sounds that come from the stars. If you read further down, it talks about the different constellations and star groups, and it talks about Aqours and his sons.

These are stars that is talking about the sons of the different constellation groups, and it’s not talking about angels. Nowhere is an angel ever called a son, and you’ll find that very clearly said. as we said earlier in the program, in Hebrews 1-5. That should answer it forever. He says, under which of the angels did he ever say, How art my son? And he never did. Angels don’t become God’s sons and Nor were they ever God’s sons, and we as believers are placed above the angels in position, and the angels will become ministering spirits to us for all eternity.

And they are below us as far as believers concerned, as far as just our human creation, they’re above us. But when we trust Christ, they become below us. We are higher than the angels. So there is not a verse in the Bible ever. And the Bible does certainly not contradict itself. Thank you, Ken. And I totally disagree with you on that. There’s not a reference anywhere to angels being the sons of God. These are believers that married unbelievers. And I think the context proves that.

We’re going to go to David now in Palm River, Florida. and david welcome to my one year on the air uh… explain for a time of b c and a d came about and start that how that all come into effect and i’ll have a good this month year when the regarding calendar uh… was created about six centuries after christ they went back to the birth of christ to start the calendar and then of course they said the time before Christ’s birth was before Christ or BC.

And the time from Christ’s birth would be 80, which really is from the Latin, Anadomena, which means the year of our order when Christ was born. Some people have thought wrongly that 80 stands for after death. It’s referring from the Latin to the year of his birth. Actually the calendar was a little bit wrong because most agree that it’s anywhere from two to six years off that they didn’t get exactly right as to when Christ was born. But in any case, all history is really centered around Christ in that interesting that obviously all of history is divided by Christ, all history before Him, BC, all history sends Him is AD.

And for those that are atheist or agnostics or non-Christians, they try to get away from that by saying they use the designation CE and BCE. CE stands for Common Era, ERA, and BCE stands before Common Era, but the dividing point is still the same. I don’t care what you’d say. Christ really divides all of history. And that’s really how it all came about. David thank you so much for the question and we’re now going to go to Matthew in Spring Hill and Matthew welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air.

Hey Hank we’re going to judge the angels. That’s correct. We’re going to judge the angels and it won’t be for what some have blamed on them in Genesis chapter 6 because that never happened. Amen. Hey Hank I got born again the Holy Spirit and dwelt us and he also makes alive our dead When we trust Christ, as we become born again, we are now spiritually alive, our dead spirit. Actually, the word dead is kind of misleading. The word death and the Bible means separation.

Our spirit is very much alive prior to salvation, but it’s separated from God. The believer is not able to receive the things of the Spirit of God. spiritually cannot understand the things of God, except for the gospel. But when we trust Christ, it’s like the light turns on and all of a sudden we’re spiritually connected. And when we read our Bible, all of a sudden it’s like the light turns on and we can understand. And everything becomes to get into focus as we learn and grow in God’s Word as a believer.

But the unbeliever could read the Bible all of his life and not get anything out of it. So my question is that also before the fall, was Adam’s spirit like ours is now? Yeah, he definitely, you know, Adam communed with the Lord. The Lord walked with him in the garden. But once he sinned, all of a sudden God withdrew himself and didn’t walk with him in the garden. And now man was afraid and separated from God. And he hid, as you might remember, and then tried to cover himself.

up the fellowship that God had with man and man had with God in the garden prior to the fall ended when man sinned and that was when they became spiritually separated or that’s what we call spiritual death. When the Lord made him a coach of skin then what the spirit renewed like ours is again or? Yeah, then he could have a community with the Lord again as a believer, absolutely. Amen. Thank you Hank. Good to be able to be with you and we have more collars waiting and I just can’t get to you because of the time.
