It’s great to be with you. We have some wonderful things in our resource center. We have tracks that really work. We have men’s Spanish and English. We also have some great books on how to evangelize. The greatest book in all the world is the handbook on personal evangelism It tells you how to open your mouth what to say when your mouth is open and how to close your mouth and when to close your mouth Very very important and that book is just fairly the book that will imagine the conversation for you What you’ll say what they’ll say what you’ll say what they’ll say what you’ll say what they’ll say and just guide you right through the process you will love it and it tells you how to deal with a cult member, an agnostic, an atheist, an evolutionist.

It will be so helpful to you. I know you will want to get a copy of the handbook of Personal Evangelism. Plus we have the Schofield Bible. If you haven’t gotten one of those, you are going to want to get that. The notes are incredible written about a hundred years ago and they are just so doctrinally clear that it’ll aid you in a great way. We will get into the Bible for a little bit and then we are going to take our callers if you would like to call in the numbers 1-800-576-3771.

That’s 1-800-576-3771. So feel free to give us a call and we’ll get you up on the air. We’re going to go to the Bible in the meantime. We are going to turn to chapter 5 of Matthew. Here it talks about to inner heaven you have to be righteous. Here is where many people go wrong because they think it is by their righteousness that they can get into heaven. Whereas the Bible teaches us we have to have God’s righteousness to go to heaven.

We are in Matthew 5 and verse 20 and this is an interesting verse. It says for I say unto you that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Well, this is a pretty high requirement here because the Pharisees were religious people who got up in the morning and set their day around being righteous. That’s right, they tried to do everything they could to conform to the law and do just the right thing.

But the point here is that Christ is making is that that wasn’t good enough. It says you have to be more righteous than the Pharisees. Your righteousness would have to exceed your righteousness. Now that’s not saying you have to be more religious than the Pharisees. It’s saying that you and I can never do this by our works or by our needs. In other words, we’d have to be as righteous as God. The Bible says very plainly in Isaiah chapter 64 verse 6 that our righteousness, the righteousness that comes by our works and our deeds is filthy rags in the sight of God.

Isaiah 64 verse 6 is where all is an unclean thing and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Now that shocked me when I read that, because I can understand how my sins would be filthy rags, but it was a shocker to me to find out that the good deeds, the righteous deeds that you and I might do are as filthy rags before God, because we are sinners and everything that we do is tainted by our sin nature. And therefore they are all filthy and contaminated, and there is not a thing that you can do or I could do to earn our salvation, but yet the requirement is righteousness.

How righteous do we have to be? Look at chapter 5 of Matthew, verse 48. Be, therefore, perfect even as your Father, which is in heaven, is perfect. If you’re going to go to heaven, you have to be as perfect as God Himself. Wow! That leaves us all out, doesn’t it? Let me tell you with you, if I might, to the book of Romans, chapter 3. Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, John, Acts, Romans, and Romans, chapter 3. It tells us here that the righteousness of God is what is required to go to heaven, and at the same time it says in Romans 3.10, as it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

Now think about it. There’s none righteous. Nobody on the earth. Think about the best people you know. They’re not righteous. Think about the best people you’ve ever read about. They’re not righteous. Think about the greatest religious leaders you’ve ever heard about. They’re not righteous. There’s none righteous. They’re not one. The only one who’s ever been absolutely righteous is Jesus. And that’s because he is God who came and took on human flesh. And it tells us in verse 22, even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Christ, is unto all and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference for all of sin and have come short of the glory of God.

In other words, everybody in the human race is short of the requirement for heaven, which is God’s righteousness. But God’s righteousness is offered to everybody in the human race and is particularly given to the one who believes or trusts on Christ as his Savior. When you trust Jesus Christ in your Savior, the Bible declares you righteous. For ever, for that moment on, look if you will with me now at Romans 4.5. Here it says, but to him that worketh not.

That means that does no good work, so does no works at all. To him that worketh not Romans 4.5, that believeth or trusteth on him, that is Jesus that justifies then Godly, his faith in Jesus is counted for righteousness. In other words, you have to be able to do that. be righteous to go to heaven, but God counts your faith in Christ for righteousness, and every believer is seen by God as though he were as righteous as God. This is true of the Old Testament saints as well.

Look at verse 3 where it quotes the Old Testament and tells us how Abraham was made righteous. Let’s say in the scripture, Abraham believed God and it was counted on him for righteousness. Wow. So how was Abraham made righteous? By faith. Was he made righteous by his works? The answer is no. And it actually says that here in verse 2, if Abraham were justified by works, he would have way of the glory but not before God, but not before God.

Our works will never, ever qualify us to enter heaven. Our works are filthy rags in the sight of God. But when we place our faith in Jesus Christ, just like Abraham did, God counts our faith in Christ for righteousness and we can be certain from that moment on that we’re going to go to heaven whenever we die. This is the best thing you’re ever going to hear. And you know, I never heard that in church. And most churches don’t even tell it or preach it.

When I got saved, the night I got saved, there was a verse I saw in the book of Revelation that scared the life out of me. It says in Revelation 21, 27, that about heaven they’re and no wise inner into it, anything that worketh abomination, or makeeth a lie. And it said a lie. And that scared me because I had told several lies at that time. And here it said it shifts one lie. If I had told one lie, I would be excluded from heaven and I would not be able to enter in.

That is scary. You see, you have to be as righteous as God or Christ in our heaven, and we are not the righteous. One lie would disqualify you for heaven, and one lie would be enough to qualify you as a sinner, and one lie would be enough to cause you to go to hell. So in order to go to heaven, you have to be as righteous as God himself. And that righteousness is offered by God through faith in Christ to all the would believe.

The moment you believe or trust on Christ’s Savior, God declares you righteous in His court of law based upon the fact that Jesus took your sin and that He paid for it in full by His death and that He was buried and that He rose again from the dead. And when you trust in Him, He counts His righteousness, Christ righteous to your account, as Christ took your sin and paid for it on the cross. This is the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ.

Every believer is seen by God as though he were as righteous as God. And this is the greatest news you’ll ever hear. I never do that. And that night I said to myself when I saw that verse in the book of Revelation, chapter 1, 21 verse 27, that wow, there’s no way I could go to heaven because obviously if one lie would keep you out of heaven, I’m in deep trouble. But I listened carefully and I watched what the scriptures said that I was looking at and pointed out in the Bible there that I was not righteous.

I had sinned and I had come short of the Lord of God, but Christ died so that His righteousness could be charged to my account. And if you’re a believer, you’re seen by God as though you had never sinned. He declares you as righteous as God Almighty Himself. I’m Dr. Englund Sherman. I hope you’ve trusted Christ as your Savior because unless you have, the only way you’re going to get to heaven is to trust Christ and that have His righteousness credited to your account.

And so you need to do that. Trust Him is death in shed blood. This is the only means of your salvation and God will save you. I’m Dr. Englund Sherman. We’re going to go to the phone lines and if you have your telephone there, you can dollars at 1-800-576. 3-7-7-1 and we are excited about being with you today. We have Matthew in North Adams, Massachusetts and he leaves this question off here. What were the other Jewish feasts that Jesus fulfilled?

There are seven feast days, all of them in Leviticus chapter 23 and the first feast was the feast of Passover and Christ fulfilled that literally by dying exactly when Israel was offering up their Passover Lamb. It says in 1 Corinthians 5, 7, for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. So He fulfilled the Feast of Passover. Then the Feast of Unleavened Bread followed. That spoke of His body, His sinless body, that was buried and it was buried during the Feast of 11 bread, and on the third feast the first fruits which spoke of the resurrection and always occurred on a Sunday Christ rose again from the dead.

1 Corinthians 15 verses 22 tells us that Jesus is the first fruits of the resurrection. The fourth feast was Pentecost, and that was literally fulfilled when the church age began on Pentecost. The Holy Spirit came and indwelt the believers at Pentecost, and that began the church age. And the next three feasts are still unfulfilled, but they talk about second coming events. the next feast is the Feast of Trumpets, which is apparently the one that ends this age as Pentecost began it.

And when the trumpet sounds up we go, we’ll meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. That’s the rapture. What an exciting thing that’s going to be. But that’s hopefully the answer for you, Matthew and North Adams and we’re glad that you’ve called. We’re going to go to Bartow, Florida and we’re going to talk to Mary. And Mary, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Oh, good morning. I love your ministry. My sister listens to Pastor Arnold Murray and he’s teaching that all the spirits were made at one time.

Is there anything in the Bible that can back that up or something that I can show her that’s not true or well if you mean the angels that’s true all the angels were made at one time at the creation but we don’t come into existence until conception we’ll see that that’s what he’s teaching that we but we are spirits are up there to be born into the bodies no that’s that sounds like Mormon isn’t really because the Mormons teach that as well that the spirits are hovering around waiting for us to produce a human body for them to end well but Arnold Murray is messed up on so many doctrines I know it’s hard to know where to start and stop with him but obviously the believer in Christ is born with three parts body, soul and spirit but were spiritually cut off from God so we’re

called spiritually dead, but when we trust Christ, it’s that moment that we are quickened or made alive or no longer, or past or death of the life the Bible says, and we become spiritually alive. But there’s no verse that says all the humans were created at one time. Well, that’s what he’s teaching, and he’s teaching, she says he’s teaching now that reason why there’s such a population explosion is God has to get all the spirits down here into bodies.

So that’s what I don’t know. He’s not all mixed up. Well I think if she listens to him I shall remain mixed up. He really needs to check out all this by the Bible. That really is the same as Mormon theology then if that’s what he’s teaching and they believe that that all the spirits have come from the planet Kolob, K-O-L-A-B, where the God Elohim produced all these spirits, and they migrated here to planet Earth where bodies are being produced, that Jesus came here as the Adam God and started off the human race to produce bodies, to provide bodies for these disembodied spirits.

So Jesus is just the God of this world. Yeah. If you’re good enough, you’ll get your own world. Oh Lord. Oh goodness. Oh goodness. Oh goodness. Oh goodness. So well, I’m sure God’s got enough planets for that, but that’s not what the Bible teaches. He’s way out there and left field and he’s teaching. They have to hurry up and get all the souls down here because they’ve all created it one time. What do you think was created at once?

Nope, not true. There’s no scripture though that I can… I’m trying to think about it. Maybe we’ll come up with one here in a moment. I know Psalms 51, David said he was conceived in sin, and that was obviously when David began. At the conception, and from conception, he was a sinner. The sin nature of Adam passed on to him. But there’s nothing about our spirits having been created At one point in time in the past, but it does say that the angels were all created at one time.

So that’s True, but not not the human beings Well, I’ll try to think about it. Maybe some of our listeners will come up with a good verse Oh, all right. Well, thank you so much, and we just love you over here in Bartow. Well, thank you so much Mary Okay, that’s right. It was Mary in Barco, Florida. Maybe our listeners are pretty sharp. They probably will find the reference for us. We have Mike in Largo, Florida. And Mike, welcome to Bible I know you are on the air.

Thanks, Dr. Hank. I was hearing you explain to the lady before about the being born body, soul and spirit. I kind of confused about the soul and the spirit. Can you explain the difference between the two and then I’ll hang up for us? Sure Mike actually the soul is the real you that’s who you are but your spirit is the non-material part of your makeup that allows you to communicate and receive information from the spirit world. Now the unsaid person can receive spiritual information from Satan and the spiritual world but not from God because they are spiritually cut off from God and that spiritual separation in the Bible is defined as spiritual death.

So the unbeliever cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God for Corinthians 2 and so it’s not until you trust the Lord that all of a sudden it’s like the switch comes on or the light turns on and you can begin to understand scriptures because you’re no longer cut off from God and your Spirit can receive the things from the Spirit of God and you can therefore start to understand the Bible for the first time. But the Spirit is the part of you that allows you to receive information from the Spirit world.

Your body on the other end of the spectrum allows you to receive information from the physical realm and transmit that information to your soul. So because your body has five senses. We can receive information about the physical realm around us and that information, light, sound, smell and so on, is able to be transmitted to our soul and you have an awareness of what’s around you. And spiritually, the spirit nature allows you or rather the spirit part of your bank up allows you to have that kind of an awareness of the spiritual world that you’re in and receive information from the spirit world.

I’d like to thank you for calling in. This is by the line and you’re welcome to call us at 1-800-576-3771. We are listener supported and we sure can use your help. It seems like it’s been a kind of slower than it has in past years. I think it says economy and things that are going on, the price of gas, but we sure do need your help if we’re going to continue in every place where we are. We are listening to the support of Bibleline and we could use your help.

If you would be willing to give a gift to Bibleline by credit card it would sure help out. We are not trying to get your money but we do want to continue these programs and reaching out as far as the Bibleline is going to be. as far as we can, and the only way we can do that is to partner up with you, the listener. God has raised up people just like you who like the program and would like to see it continue, and no gift is too small.

If everybody gave some, we’d be in great shape. I know one lady gives a dollar a day. And every month, faithfully, comes by to hand me that check. And so if it’s a 30-day month, you’ll give me $30. If it’s a 31-day month, you’ll give me 31. And she’s been so faithful to give that kind of gift to Bibleline. In any case, I just wanted to share with you what different people have in their minds as to how to, how much to give or whatever.

But that was really a great idea, this lady had. In any case, we need your help. If you could give a gift by credit card, it would be great. And if youhari give an extra amount that would really be super as we needRepresent, make sure that we’re caught up with everything to stay on the Chocobo everywhere we are. I’m Dr. Englinscherman. We’re going to take a break here and come back and do a second half hour. And so I get ready to do that and then join us right after the break.

We are excited about the fact that Christ could come even at the end of this month. The Feast of Trumpets, which will end this age, happens this year on September 30th and is so baited on into October 1st. It could be that we only have a few more weeks and we’re out of here. I’m not sitting and I didn’t say he’s coming this year, but wow, he surely could and isn’t that amazing that we might only have a few weeks left.

What would you do differently if you knew for a fact that Christ was coming this year? Well, I’m sure that there are things that you’d want to do and there are people that you’d want to talk to about the Lord. And maybe you ought to do it just in case Christ does come back this year because we don’t know and it could be this year. That’s exciting. So watch for the Lord return and if you’re a believer you’re going to be caught up and I’ll meet you in the air and we’ll be together in eternity forever and ever and ever.

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 Lynch from… Alright, we’re back from that break and this is my line. I’m Dr. Hank Lynch from we’re coming to you live from Tampa, Florida. From our studios right here at the Calvary Community Church.

We’re on the pastor and I hope you’ll come by and see us sometime if you ever come to Florida or you come in for business of pleasure. Come see us right next to the Tampa International Airport at 4811 George Road in Tampa, Florida. By the way, we are interested in going to Israel and if you would like to go with me, call and get your name on our list and we’ll send you a brochure and you can begin to consider that.

this one down September 11th, a week from today. One week from today we’re having Gershan Solomon coming right here to Bible and headquarters at Calvary Community Church. Gershan lives in Jerusalem. He’s in Orthodox Jew. He was there on the Mount, the Temple Mount when Mosheldiahan conquered it in the Six-Day War, and he has been passionate about building the Third Temple. He has been cutting the stones in the Biblical way. Everything is really ready for the Third Temple to be built, and we believe it will be built right after the Rapture.

The fact that all the preparations have been made tells me that we’ve got to be close. Your son will be here Thursday night, week from tonight on the 11th of September at seven o’clock. We hope that you will come and listen to him as he lectures and maybe you’ll get a chance to shake hands and talk to him and actually be shaking hands with the man that God will use to build a temple that Christ will actually return to at the end of the the Tribulation period to actually be here while he tells us about this event that’s going to happen.

The Bible is very clear that a third temple has to be rebuilt. Well, if you’re in the local area here, we have an Oaxana program here at our Church, which is a youth program, which is a very sound one, big geared around memorizing scripture and of course kids having fun and learning the Bible but we’ll begin that on September 17th and if you have any children you’re welcome to bring them over for free and let them join our Wednesday night of Wanda Youth Program from six to eight in the evening and that’ll be great.

We’re gonna go to the phone lines that phone line is ringing over here like crazy and we’re gonna go to Tony in Tampa, Florida and Tony welcome to Bibleline you’re on the Thank you. Good morning. I have a verse. I did you to look at John chapter 5 verse 22 and 23 that regarding the previous question I have a question about this soul and before you read it I would like to consider also God created everything in having a the bus.

earth in the sixth day. But the seventh day he waited for his creation. He’s not creating anymore. Saying that our soul spirit, something that just just come after we’re born, that would imply that the spirit is multiplying, just like the flesh, which is impossible. I would like you to consider that VOSAR. The first two and two of chapter five of John, tell me when all men honor the father. And this is the standard that is given for the son, when all every knee shall bow unto him.

He says, the same way all needs have been bowed to the father, it is commanded, it is decreed that all men should honor the son the same way as they honor the father. doesn’t that imply that we have to return one time? Okay, the answer is no. The answer is talking here about the future and in the chapter it talks about the final judgment when all of the lost will be cast into hell and the Bible says every knee shall confess, whether every tongue shall confess and every knee shall bow and that will be whether they’re in heaven above or in the earth or in hell.

People in hell believe on Christ, but it’s too late. If you die without having trusted Christ, you will acknowledge who Christ is and you will confess with your lips that he is the Lord, he’s God, and that you will bow your knee to him and worship him, but it will be forever too late. It’s important while you’re living that you would trust Jesus as your Savior that you don’t get caught in that spot. But if you become a believer while you’re living, you’ll be absent from the body, present with the Lord, and you’ll be with Him forever.

But obviously we will also worship the Lord and will obviously confess for all eternity that we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God who came and took on human flesh. There are actually two separate judgments according to the Bible that they’re separated by a thousand years and there’s the judgment for believers that happens when Christ returns and then there’s a thousand years later a judgment for the unbelievers. Both of these judgments determine either for the believer the degree of reward or loss of reward that the believer will receive and And then a thousand years later, with the unsaved, the degree of punishment that they’ll receive in hell.

But every person, whether they’re saved or lost, will one day worship the Lord, but in hell you’ve got a problem because you can’t get out of hell and hell is wrong. So salvation is a gift and it’s received by faith, but works can earn rewards and one One day we’ll see the results of our labors at that judgment and the loss will receive a degree of punishment based upon that. We’re now going to go to AP and he lives in Deltona, Florida and AP.

Welcome to Bible Ed. Good morning Dr. Hank, how are you? Good. Excellent sir. First let me say I would like the Lord to continually bless you for the work that you’re doing to the body of Christ. And my question is this. Bider, heard before in previous you know broadcast that the two end time witnesses were I’m witnesses. That’s correct, huh? Yeah. And my question is this, I know that’s… That’s how I was. Okay, I’m sorry. And I was under the understanding that since Enoch was taken and didn’t die that he was going to be one of the entire mouth profits and if I could hang up and just listen, I greatly appreciate it.

Some people believe that because Elijah didn’t die and Enoch didn’t die, and so they figured those two would be the ones because he’s appointed them and wants to die. But Moses is the one. Obviously the two prophets that come back in Revelation 11 are prophets that are part of the age of law that began at Sinai. One of the major prophets there was Moses who received the law at Mount Sinai, and then a prophet that followed him a little bit later was Elijah.

And it’s hinted in that chapter 11 that it is Moses and Elijah because the one will turn the water to blood and smite the earth with plagues as often as he will and the other will pray and shut up the heavens so it doesn’t rain. That is exactly what Moses and Elijah did. We also know in the Mount Transfiguration of Matthew 17 that the two men that appeared with Moses at his second coming were Moses and Elijah. But about the body.

Satan had a big dispute with Michael the Archangel over the body of Moses in Jude chapter 1 verse 9. And apparently he was calling and saying, foul play, this is not fair. That body should not be preserved. Apparently God is preserving the body of Moses so he can come back. He will come back along with Elijah during the tribulation period. I believe it’s without a doubt Moses and Elijah. It’s not Moses and Elijah and Enoch, but Moses and Elijah.

By the way, there’s a lot of people that will be exempt from that verse that it’s pointed out that the man wants to die because at the rapture there’s a large group of believers that will never die. So I think obviously this is an exception to the case and I think there are exceptions as far as that is concerned because the rapture will be a whole group of people that will never die. They’ll simply be caught up alive in the air to meet their new body.

We’re now going to go to Nick and Nick is in Tampa, Florida and Nick, welcome to buy one year. Hello Nick. Nick I don’t know if Nick is still waiting, but we’re gonna go then to Arthur and Belgrade’s Florida and Arthur you’re on the air Yes Actually of course you I’ve been running into a lot of people that say that they can you can do with your salvation And I’ve been trying to I’ve been showing on scriptures in the Bible But the thing is you it’s a script in the Bible that say that when a when the Christian gets saved the angels in heaven You’re praying it don’t correct.

That’s right in heaven. They rejoice The believers rejoice in heaven in the presence of those angels when just one person gets saved Okay, can you give me that scripture, please? Excuse me Luke chapter 15 verse 10 Luke 10 Okay, and the other question that I wanted to ask you I know that now we feel a lot of of a nurse that’s on TV. And a lot of them is what they’re doing, they take a verse and they’ll read it and then they’ll just go on for the next hour.

Is that preaching the gospel or that just giving people false hope? Well, usually then they don’t even talk about that verse anymore and that’s not really teaching the Bible or the gospel from the Scripture. So I don’t believe so. And that’s very confusing but as far as the eternal security the fact it can be lost let me share with you Hebrews 13 5 Jesus said I will never leave you and I’ll never forsake you you can’t if you were to go to hell Christ would have to go to hell with you it’s just not going to happen okay all right thank you God you’re very welcome thank you for calling in that was Arthur and Bill grades Florida we now have Nick in Tampa and Nick welcome to Bibleline.

Hey Dr. Hank, I have a question about the millennial kingdom. If we sit at the righteous or judge before the millennial kingdom, what of the people who at the end of the millennial kingdom rebel against God if the people who remain before the millennial kingdom are the ones who were the righteous? that would it be right to assume that with the net kingdom and if they do or any of them righteous because then the righteous doesn’t would have been before they’re coming.

Now that’s kind of a complex question but I’m gonna hang up and listen what you have to say. Sure. Thanks. Thanks Dr. Annie. So what happens at the beginning of the millennium, the thousand year reign of Christ, is that Jesus will destroy all unbelievers. No unbelievers will enter into the thousand year reign of Christ. But those who enter in are those who get saved during the and their children will grow up and marry and have children and so on.

And they will still have a sinful nature because we’re still related to Adam, and they’ll need to know the Lord as their Savior. But apparently what it tells us is that at the end of that thousand year reign, that there’s a large number of people that never did trust the Lord, and seeing the Lord as a Lord. number of people that never did trust the Lord. And Satan is able to round them up and they come against Jerusalem and of course Christ defeats them readily and of course they’re going to wind up in hell.

But the ones who enter in as saved will remain obviously saved and they will have children also that will trust the Lord and they’ll be with the righteous of the saved forever and ever. I hope that helps and thank you for that call. And we’re now going to go to… A non-omus and we don’t even know the city, it’s anonymous as well. And this is an off-air question. Would woman pastors fall under the 2nd John verse 11 verse? And I think so.

Yeah, it says if anybody brings bad doctrine to you that you’re not to praise them or bid them God’s feet or support them and so on. And the Bible teaches that we’re not to have women pastors. If you read 1 Timothy 2 verses 10-15, God says there that no women pastors says there that I suffer not a woman to teach, nor do you serve authority over the man, but to be in silence. So women are not to be the spiritual leaders in the church and they are not to preach.

And so I think that somebody is happy to be in the sun scriptural. We’re not going to go to Dwight in Clearwater Florida and Dwight, welcome to Bible Ann, you are on the air. Good morning Hank, how are you doing? Good. Here are my snorkels. I’ve got a little under the weather this morning. But anyway, I’ve got some information of where this guy teaching pre-existence of souls is probably coming to get that from. It comes from a rabbinical writing, one references from the book of Enoch.

That’s an appropriate way. Exactly. And what they describe in that book is that the souls have a waiting place that’s in heaven. The body is ready. He’s ready and they have one scripture about the Messiah will be withheld until the last soul is completed and has left the cage. They also describe them as birds or sparrows while they’re out of the body. So that’s maybe where he’s getting that from and if it is, you know, he’s into the… a part of full books like you said.

Yeah, absolutely. That’s them, an inspired book, not a book that we have in our Bible. And obviously they’re departed from the Bible then, just grabbing information outside of the Bible and then you can really get yourself in trouble but the Bible doesn’t teach any sense. Yeah, it’s kind of interesting to notice the last start. You can find the origins. Some other mentions is from Judeo-Christian mythology. I found some references there. But the dots, if people want to look it up, it’s GU, PH.

But I haven’t been able to find it other than I didn’t know about it. Goodnight. Well, thanks for doing that research for us and bringing that to our attention. Yes, sir. All right. Dwight in Clearwater, Florida and obviously if you stay with the 66 books that we have it our Bible, you’ll be just fine. But when you go outside of that, looking for other literature to support which you believe you can come up with lots of really crazy things.

George in Brookstill, Florida, calls in, leaves us off for a question. He says, why should we not pray for the dead? I need Bible verses which explains this. Well, once you die, it’s too late and you can’t help the dead. So if you are an unbeliever, then you’re going to wind up in hell and there is no second chance and to pray for that person who’s already dead will not change their destiny. If they died as a believer, they’re with the Lord.

If they died as an unbeliever, they’re going to be in hell forever. So there’s no way that we should be praying for the dead. Obviously we can’t help them and plus they cannot hear your prayers. Only the Lord can hear your prayer and there is only one mediator between God and men and that is Jesus and that is First Timothy 2 5. We have another anonymous and we don’t know what city either but it says we all be the same age in heaven.

I I believe our resurrection bodies will all be mature adult bodies in the prime of life. And so I believe yes. Will there be cattle? Well, I don’t know. There will be horses and we do know that there will be animals. So perhaps there will be. But we. Don’t have a verse that would prove it either way. And if you want to call in, the phone number is 1-800-576-3771. We have Claire in Conroe, Texas, and she calls in, says, I was listening to you on the radio, and you come in God, you come in and the God says that we get older in the Bible.

I’m not too sure. I’ve read about people living to be 900 years old and also read about Moses where his eyes was not dim nor his natural force abated and God took him at 120. I have not read where God literally tells us we get over. I think what you’re talking about is during the millennium, people will live long lives again. And I’m saying that somebody might even beat this little record of 969 years. It tells us in the book of Isaiah that when a person dies during the millennium and they die at an age of 100, they’ll say he was just a child.

Why? He was just getting started. So prior to Noah’s flood, men lived long lives and I believe that during During the millennium they will again live very long lives and somebody could possibly outlive this one. Break his record. Interesting. We have another anonymous caller leaving the software is the seven year tribulation, a literal seven years and the answer is absolutely yes. And in fact in the book of Revelation it divides it into two parts and it speaks about each each half being 1260 days or 42 months each and 42 months is 3 and a half years.

1260 days is 3 and a half years. So they are literally 42 months or 1260 days exactly 3 and a half years. Okay, Rohi and Miami calls in and leaves us off our question. If the Lord be with me, who can be against me? Where is this found? The answer is Romans 831. Romans 831 is where that is found. It’s a wonderful, wonderful verse. Okay, if you’d like to call it in again, it’s 1-800-576-3771. We have Dan in Valrico, Florida, and he says, does Romans 1129 also apply to the gift of salvation?

And I believe yes. It says there that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. That means God does not change his mind once he gives you a gift. And he obviously gave you the gift of eternal life if you’re saved. And he’s not going to change his mind and take it back. So it’s a gift that is retained by the believer forever and ever and ever which is a wonderful wonderful news. Larry in Manson, Michigan calls in, leaves this off her question.

He says, please explain Chast Taizman as it is referenced in Psalm 118. Let me take a look at that verse and I’ll give you a comment there. Psalm 118 and I’m almost there. Let’s see here. Psalm 118 and we’re going to look at verse 18 and it says, The Lord hath chastened me sore, but he hath not given me over unto death. Absolutely, that’s the same kind of discipline that God brought in the Old Testament upon believers as he does in the New Testament.

So as a believer, the Lord can get your attention and he uses chasing to do that we have us walled in my army florida and welcome to bible on your own year yeah you’re here go ahead off ok and my question is i can’t get it and i’m coming from uh… i’m coming from uh… i’m coming from a country that is true So here in the United States, what I hear is a preaching that many people preach about the arrival of prosperity.

I know that the God prefers the Christian peoples, but I think that they make something like a difference about the blessing that God makes to have people. So I want to hear what you think about that and God bless you. Thank you very much. Your radio is a little bit loud there. But definitely… Salvation has always been the same and God loves everybody on the planet once everybody to be saved and all that would simply come to him and trust him as our Savior would receive that salvation which can never ever be lost.

I mean it’s forever and ever and ever and certainly to say that you could lose it would be a contrary to God’s word and also would be a major doctrinal error because it would mean that you had to Work to get it To and then work to say it to keep it which is works for salvation Which means you would never be saved if that were the case? All right, we have a little bit of time left and if you want to call maybe we can get you in I don’t think so though I think we’re about out of time if you want to go on the Israel trip call and Get a brochure sent out to give us your address also.

Don’t forget 9 11 a week from tonight We have Gershan Solomon coming from Jerusalem, and he will share with us the progress being made to rebuild the Third Temple. Everything is really ready, and it will happen, I believe, right after we go out at the Rapture. It could be this year. It really could. I don’t know. There’s certainly nothing left to be done, and I’ve seen so many of the things in Israel all ready to go prepared for the worship system in the temple.

Also we want you to know that you can visit our resource center online but you can also call and order a Bible or the handbook of an evangelism or tracks or whatever we have here. I’ve got a run on Dr. Engvenson but I’ll be back tomorrow and hope you’ll join me. Don’t forget our TV program at 630-99 on channel 367-DRIC-TV. In the meantime, keep looking up. Jesus is coming, and if you can, join me again tomorrow here on The Bible.
