Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network wrestling. Why is the mounted residents of the listed apologetics research was found alive are the more you have questions of our Bible doctrine why Grimes is called responding to your questions. Recall 77225 open lines which you recall a little out of breath because running around I work a lot when so different things.oh yeah got to two minutes will be the couple coffee that kind of stuff when we look we had a Bible study last night and I don't know how many of you participated or watched hopefully was interesting for you. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I taught on baptism for two hours and when my goals was to inform people and to shake them up a little bit about what they think.

Baptism is because everyone, most everyone says baptism automatically means that so I had to be immersed and I show them unless I do this I showed him repeatedly were baptism cannot mean that and think what you write what it says and then there's work camming that flicked went through showed that short is a covenant sign and seal and do the repairs versus on baptism went through acts chapter 2 and was with some time. There's a lot of stuff so I enjoyed it.

I thought it was a was fun. I love teaching you know I love teaching love for being able to just give reasons for the faith and I look ahead, the pleasure last part of regular teach that if you if you saw in it that Gail call gives them comments on it's really working the lighting because I look at the video today. The lighting is pretty bad, but it's really tough to get the lighting right submit the something weird but just to get lighting better you look on the sound is really good and this was really more important and let's see that aside earlier but was so brain fog and fatigue. Okay. Good stuff. He says that you want to give McCall know baptism is a very important topic and there are issues that a lot of people don't realize when it comes to visual baptism. So if you curious about some aspects call happy to talk about it or if you want talk about other stuff, all you do is give you call 877-207-2276 so each week I let the group I decide what they wanted be taught the following week and so they decided election and predestination as other people's questions with some issues from teaching on that next week but will be teaching a half-hour late because I get to do at the host AB and satellite TV stuff on Islam next week tonight, so be doing that okay now one is get all the stuff on the way. Let's see, let's see. I do plan it looks like were getting out the plan to go down to for me and maybe a buddy of mine to go down to Selleck city area on Saturday the fifth.

That's were looking out to go down on Saturday. Maybe speaking to church on Sunday or preacher and I will see how that goes. Spent a couple of days there Sunday Monday Tuesday Dragon O'Loughlin for the UFO convention and then probably come back on Thursday night so that's were talking about doing so down there on the week of the fifth 6 June so if there's people down there in the Selleck city area you want to meet you.

Don't you email me at info@carn.org so yeah you know or have a Bible study have something on me, and really irritate people 60 that's fine, we might just have a meeting at a restaurant because people like to do that you have meetings of stuff so well, let's see, let's seal your prayer ministry just if you're interested in being prayed for, or maybe join the prayer ministry just to email us at prayer@carman.org prayer@carn.org BST on the air by your donations. Please consider donating of illness for much five to $50 a month and that's the harm/donate. We are working also on the schools.

We have three schools and they are in an old format and what would you be doing pretty soon is starting to convert them over to a modern formatting system is to take to take a while to do it because we have 9985 at 230 to 250 of pages we have to add in and do all that you know that all that was bank stuff to make it work and so that's in the works as well.

The web guy who's developing that is almost done and will say okay now you guys can fill it in an ongoing populated work a lot of stuff a lot of stuff going on but ready start going videos regular videos and think about doing something called the one minute seminary and just have a one minute video wanted to minutes of the McCullough two minute seminary and that way people can come in and others give straight to the points teaching with scriptures on various things and I just do you know hundred like that and do some other videos on other topics.

I put everything into a navigation system categorized with video stuff store work at where working at where working it okay for the lines if you want to give me a call. All you have to do is dial 877-207-2276.

Let's get to and from North Carolina had welcoming on the year I met you when you were younger quite. While it a little bit like you I get I get there, God part. There there can wait and clarified ready by anybody in favor anybody. My question basically I'm trying to understand that predestinate like coming. I I I say I would say before the foundation of the technically not grand. I'm glad I I want but that you were not saved in the sense that you you. It occurred to you.

It didn't occur to you until you were justified to you.

Believe your elected and predestined before the foundation of the world little technical little brighter than everybody is nobody what is, what about the art chosen for lifelong justification. Now they know not everyone is chosen to be saved to be justified, not one selected by God for that purpose.

Okay, just got a cup… No brother… I met with I don't know you don't know see what we don't know is how God works his election and we just don't know that so is it says he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. That's Ephesians 14 and I'm just reading it and people will complain and Elsie will that's reformed theology. We don't like that won't then take that verse at your Bible and I'll take Romans nine. This would assess you know why I get so tired of Christians disagreeing with God because they understand how God's really going to be God would never do that is not easy to shut up and sit down because either submit to the word of God, not the word of God, to themselves and this is what this… He chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we would be holy and blameless before him. The only way to be holy as it were in Christ and justified him and his righteousness is ours and things like that. This is an in love he predestined us to adoption as sons of Jesus Christ himself so he did not choose everyone for salvation is just what it says there sure are Michael my question at that point there no we do not have the capability all but out in great Corrado how at work that's correct. So how does it work yet. How does that work with an alert that they I know you don't know you're not God I okay I'm here you great Joe Mark you work will be don't know. It appears to be is that all people are falling in Adam. That's why says in Romans 518 through one transgression that resulted in condemnation to all men and first 2015 22 in Adam all die, as when Adam died, we died in him we inherited a sinful nature, which is why Ephesians 23 says we are by nature children of wrath now of the hundred percent of the people that have fallen into that except for Jesus. Of course that is born of a virgin different issue but the hundred part of the people that that's what they go to hell that they belong and how they should go to hell because they are by nature children of wrath, and they sent so what God has done from before the foundation of the world.

This is Ephesians 14 he is the father chose us.

That's the elect. That's what it means to choose and in him that's in Jesus with the father chose us in him in Christ before the foundation of the world would it means is there is no election to salvation outside of Christ. He chose us in him before the foundation of the world without Christ in his incarnation is not possible for anyone to be looking for salvation they work together because the only way anybody can be saved by the work of Christ. That's what it says here Ephesians 14 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. And then he predestined us and so choosing is what God does before the foundation of the world and then predestined thing us is what he works out during our existence in this world and he brings us to faith. A lot of people don't like this. A lot of people rejected a lot of people call it a false teaching.

But it's right there in Ephesians 1, four and five and were not great both God my right what they forgot because because people are predisposed to be arrogantly prideful and stubborn and say that they and their wisdom are the ones who decide what God would have done with them and they don't realize that's foolishness and it needs to be called out for that is foolishness and people need to submit to the word of God and more more people are not doing that fact of the Bible study last night to guys. We stayed afterwards were talking I will tell me different search stories and a were multiple stories where they came down basically to this. It was these were the exact words but this is what they were saying they were meeting people and discussing a theology with them and showing them the Scriptures and people were saying that people who pose a Christian symbol. We don't agree with that is right there in the word reading the verse and having a pastor say that your interpretation and the goggles I just read it and so the pastors even rejecting with the word says or one guy said a secretary so you take the word of God to seriously and other people. You take the word of God, our conflicts and this is where the problem that's alive in the Christian church.

I can prove it by just asking questions. People just driving along and what you think about this, we think about that that I read Scripture to show that the with a believe mostly is biblical and this is unfortunately something is happening a lot in the churches a lot is happening in the church is what they just they just, whatever the doctrinal wind is whatever they feel is true, whatever the denomination says is what they do and choose in order. God going with that the generic, so this would Bible says okay he chose us and he gave grace.

The saving grace is saving faith to the 11th at the right time to justify hold on to get a break.

I all right hate folks would be like or don't like what I'm saying because he wanted 877-207-2276 Van Slyke why call 77077 charismatic slave to Ed from North Carolina and welcome your earlier elect right got one request they get all the time. What paradigms thinking at that will occur when it comes Bible and thought reformed theology flatter you see, I denied predestination got predestination and the reason I did was because of church I went to taught humanistic philosophy. They talk to you.

Talk Christ and people get saved. The problem that they had this man centeredness that they were aware of that wasn't biblical when I first started an accounting account are encountering. I should say, the idea of election predestination.

I remember the first time. I just talked about last night as matter.

I was a Christ College, Irvine, which is now Concordia University Southern California in Irvine and it's right in my bachelors degree and rod Rosenblatt Dr. rod Rosenblatt great teacher in the Lutheran was rescinded denomination. He was teaching on this issue.

Predestination night in class. I said I challenged him to know most of the Bible teaches.

It wouldn't teach that God would do something like that because he wouldn't do something like I remember he was very, very graciously said, well, here are the verses and he showed me I'm like frowning and he very graciously said will just go check it up yourself to school, study it is okay so two weeks later in the same class I raise my hand and he taught Masood look at two weeks ago I challenged your initial predestination and you are very polite about it used to go study I did and you are right I was wrong.

That's what it teaches and that's what I believe now smiled and continued teaching on on the topic wrath so that was my first encounter with and I resisted all the way and all kinds of things until I realized God's sovereign, not me. I'm not good enough to even believe in him without his work on and that I'm saved only by his grace on By his grace and that he had loved me even though he knows everything about me and he's lovely from eternity past and decided to save me from eternity past and how blessed.

How fortunate I am. That's the paradigm shift that occurred and is the biggest one I've had in my biblical theology and understanding, and it's been great thank you but it's not one look available. What is the bad theory or study (I recommend that Dr. like that when I recommend is you just read the Bible. I recommend you get an outline and look at the word Trinity and it all right in the Trinity thought seizing. Find out how it's done go to, look some stuff up if you want to do concordance research and things like that.

I prefer reformed commentaries and the reason I do is a crystal marker is good but there I would recommend green wing good and systematic theology that's very good, but I recommend that people get reformed commentaries and study guides because it will cause you to skip ahead 10 or 20 years of learning I would because a lot of people they get anchored in man centered theology and they never grow out of it. Then they learn to hate the great grace and sovereignty of God in his election predestination and so the action war against God and realize this may not say because it received different levels of ignorance, but this is pretty typical. And so reformed theology you skip that hurdle right away. Okay, okay, I know you do so light in my heart that God that I met we only know that two men, I'll write better. Let's see, let's get the math North Carolina Matt. Welcome you are on the air.

You don't like what he got big man. My dad got that one man, but hurry it with all you can do a buy and the problem. Thank black people are bad, bad, and bad I cannot reach him as a Christian, how, bad way is you Christian is professes to be. Does your church's own courtesy you what this all on all now watch as it went on TV. I didn't quite get that last word all… Okay numbers 12 628 number 12 disturbing number 12 Moses met a Cushite woman and that's an Ethiopian.

So he married a black woman and God did many prominent why does he can ask kindness number 12 okay Cushite, which is from Ethiopia and that's one issue and you can ask him dad, do you think you're better because your skin could because of your skin color is ask if he says yes you know it we can do this point is to recognize it stupidity to believe that you he says yes then you just let it go because you don't want to argue where he becomes defensive and defense that you want the truth of the idiocy to stink into his mind and his heart.

Okay, that's what you think you know it's not what God wants. But that's what you think the leave it okay and you can find out what the reasons are my grandmother was like that and you don't, why try to work with her, but some people do so ingrained in stuff. That way that's what you can do and I'll pray for and you try not to follow when those sinful footsteps you pray for your father and something okay you do. Thanks Matt okay buddy got bless all right, let's get to Steve North Carolina Steve, welcome you are on the air. Hey Matt how are you doing okay. We got Margaret triggering 101 armed ask for your free okay and at the chronically program I felt for 20 years now. I want to thank you for pointing me to Loma Clybourn enrollment thought credenza to help me, help me like greatly bought good. I did have a different question out the I'm pretty much over that whole baptism thing I know, look, I'm not going to your study last night. Any get ejected. I'm too old to stay up that late pico thought what what is your stance on listening to rock 'n' roll music file of your fee and I was like 24 years old. It was like no, but the truth is me now. Okay, okay, a policy like that Kathy's messages. I want you this. I Matt slick live call 770727 charismatic slave to show the Steve Steve are you still there, here. So okay you can ask my question is not not what I not about the charts for your fee. I know a lot of your feet not even allow instrument at all blocking Pollock but I'm not talking about something.

When I was in the they told me if I was home.

I shouldn't be listening to like my favorite band Led Zeppelin can't do it at the same thing to listen to what you got valid well I would say that the show you in Scripture why that's sinful. This is where we get into a gray area because we want to be holy insecticide before the Lord, you know I love zeppelin and I love Sabbath and AC/DC back in the day you know I dig corn and Bronstein, but I really love to hear praise music you known Alyssa that more than anything else and reggae's life so you like country western that I could you having sinful and I'm not exactly what I'm going out. I would like to may think alike that wanted relax the mother who really relaxes me and remind me of my youth may get the file I don't see using sinful about it.

I think it's an issue between you and God because in first contents 10 is an issue of of eating meat sacrificed to idols are allowed to do that answer is yes, because it's not going to harm you if you are not injured by it then okay and if you are then you shouldn't. If it's can have a deleterious effect on you and you should stay away from this is asserting that it is important you know it's like Paul studied philosophy and asserted that the pagan philosophers. While you should do that, even at home, why not because it can negatively influence it will yes if you're not grounded in the word but then he used it to witness it on and so it is a gray area. It's a difficult one and got her some stuff you shouldn't listen to me dirt there to some stuffy front and I'm not but I mean, I noted that from read that wrong that are like actually yeah.

But there's also like a phone correctly praise either coming so I would say so I wouldn't do that because I've listened zeppelin over the years.

You know I had older albums and the whole bit. And I never heard a steak is praising Jesus in their so there are want, for the graffiti that that best.

Really I had that album, but I was back and forth walk with so you know I'm writing highly for me.

I would think that it but making it your and maybe I'm wrong here, but if you're making the music like your God and your idle versus just like casually listening finds out they would like no yeah they're legalistic. You can't do it because you lose your salvation. Well, there's nothing in the Bible that says that I think the thing when it comes to things like this is the same categories and what movies we watch what will cut closely where Christ saw a news article if it's an issue of sanctification before the Lord, you want to do things in such a way that ultimately our edifying that's the goal, but sometimes is just cool to get the effect my wife videotaped the ticket. I recorded something on TV and Becky was back in the 60s, and had Janis Joplin, which was very young and she was singing this song and it's captivating how good she was and I watched it like 1015 times and I just ate she was fantastic. She was such an incredible singer the way she got into stuff that sinful. Now let me she was, pagan she was. He died of a drug old OD blitz right right you know it's like okay when you do, so it's a tough one but I find myself the this is just me. The older I get, the less I'm liking that other stuff.

The morning wanting good praise music within the net, then the problem becomes I don't listen that idiocy called the sub from Bethel.

No and Brian Hill song K but the one my favorite physical refusal of a know is Kashmir. I love that song).

My son they are graduated like a band teacher like an important M.Div. right now we we listen to music and even ocular my music but anyway, it was all music with you like classical music was it like my dad music with applicable but I just route will become a different thing that I can't believe I description what they said and it just hard to Moscow. Kino literally is 25 years later and I'm still trying to wind myself out. Yeah, cults do that to people. The mess you up. We have freedom in Christ. You can listen to it, but don't use it right to become sinful. The lytic particular entities are humming bad stuff then you know it's it's affecting your bed and move away right cool right first. I really appreciate your mapping your you help me, click it to get the 20 year that Roman fingers really helped me a lot and I know AK probably ate but that's the way it is. Well you know it's the power of the word of God and justification by faith alone in Christ alone, not faith electronic interest ceremony many sermons and M. That's what he says.

I tried to get around that opening enrollment already meant trouble. I can't back you all right Douglas. Okay, let's get the phones with fall. I guess fall or fail from Greensboro, North Carolina.

Welcome you know later will fail like the Lord and that will fail you okay yeah like a ball every comment I only agree with your about predestination and being told you lick you that most of my friends don't agree with me either. But it's okay.

I think the what I think of what the word said now don't you contact Jones and says that's right was I that's right right now my goal there negative Clark on the type of training and went for got that Monday, Tuesday, the qualification that I felt one of the complications. That being born again all my equipment and clad again. All the directors like and then they get by with my birthday one all went back to his death and resurrection a word for it. If there and vote for when they understood the man. What can in from down and they did not know the which was spoken alcohol God 2020 fill out the visit was elected and came back like the quail where had it got off on the fallacy down. Do you make that segment to the 12 bit by book grave known down there with the holding Mary Knapp put me that when they became very well look at the time okay switch a question every now and is 100 and before the resurrected Christ Bible doesn't say and I tend to be with you that they weren't. They were knowledgeable in such now, could they have been justified.

That's another issue because Abraham was justified by his fair and so in this sense, they would have to be born again. In that sense, so it gets a bit tough because they undoubtedly had faith in Christ. But we don't know what they really were believing or understanding so we can answer no, I really know a little yeah I'm with you. I just think you can see all I know you get a break for folks. Please stay tuned arrive back after the mass Y call 770727 charismatic slave back to the builder would not leave so we can't say they were or were not and I just don't go that far into that. They were or weren't, or when they were or weren't probably after the resurrection. For sure they were bought born again, I would say that but I don't know to what rendition they were beforehand that you could buy what is there that know that all that I hear from the law and all the little boy if they would unveil will ABC there's a cake you can take one in the context states hidden from them, then these are just lost ported over to another context-sensitive means of them over there. You can can't say that it can do to get a look at both contexts individually and then see how they can relate and so II can do that right now year agreement that not odd was that about rips out about what about all that talk and write down the paradise that that the captive free and all all the old light brown and lows.

It is better rate. All they really had died and resurrected.

I now born again because they believe that they call him Alan got a hold so you doing a lot of teaching here so that's in the questions and I gave is okay to some extent, but I don't know you're going with all of this and I've only told you regarding the disciples, we don't know and when you say born again.

The term has to be defined scripturally very precise to start asking the court answered the question and Graham and Sen. some tough stuff there. So for now I would just say don't have a good answer. I don't have an answer for you but I was at very least, of born again after the resurrection of Christ when he Beretta readily fully relief and to what extent might they have been beforehand I don't know because it falls in the same category of been justified by faith, as was Abraham, would you say he is born again. Well, in a sense, yes, but never since noted as I we define it we don't have time to hollow out the labor yes and he went to heaven and Jesus as you can go to have much of born again.

So you see it what it looked than what you born again but is adjustable in the water and the spirit so that what you're saying because it literally is not born again. It's born from above is the Greek sentence or as a born again so it it just is far more complicated than we can solve right here okay okay all right all right got dubs of Lesotho all right will talk you later okay okay I like by all right to skip the gym from Kernersville, North Carolina. Welcome running here and I do all right hanging Internet. We got buddy data roughly a foot the book predestination lawyer talking about it and it analyzes live godfather and all that I will do what I want out of here for quiet strength want to know how you got his answer will build that. However relate to the Old Testament bank and an award of acceptance of the gift of salvation out of that feta.

So the Old Testament saints were obviously elected to because you were elected from the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 1 for second Thessalonians 211 to 13 says we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through certification by the spirit and faith. In truth, so we know that God's chosen people for salvation. That's on it is reading the text. I know that a lot of people don't like this. In fact this so you know every now and then I've had over the years I've had people say don't mention reformed theology on radio or TV. You're in different areas because it upsets people and and I was that it was interesting. You don't because it's like me don't sweat the Scriptures that supported that teach it because people get offended by the word of God and that the travesty that they would be offended by God's word and claim to be Christians. I just don't get that.

I believe it would got set. All right, so the Old Testament saints would have to been chosen in order to be believers.

That's, that's, it was your second question, how do I go for Marquardt to move along with the very and I don't believe that family thing audibly.

We have a party salvation that everything downtime men do not have to accept the gift yes maybe it is that a lot of the dawn, but the door down helped open the door to the room. Well, the Bible says as many as received him, to them he gave the right to the cultural Ephesians amino John 112, we do receive him.

We do believe that we do trust God grants. We believe the things 129 he grants we come to Christ. I John 644 John 665 so God grants it, and yet we also do the believing and that's why Scripture so so to both true and I thought I would bring you, to Catholicism, and not I went Baptist Church to align with those close to loud understand of the non-Christian needs to know that I've grown over the years, O'Connell, going that's good, wrestle and go through Romans nine starting in verse nine start reading and wrestle with exact okay and then coming all right Romans 99 323 wrestle with thickly the context see what it does to you. Okay. Are they gutless okay let's get to Kevin from Knoxville, Tennessee. Kevin welcoming on the unguarded growth and what you recommend like for like a good girl Bible paper Bible used it. I like but the 30 on my own. I'm talking about, like when you go to third or your life in a group. I will recommend anything of the Bible. Net weight and or digital Bible will be. I always use. Now I just use a digital because I like to do searches and I took a Greek I like to look at other things inside.

I have my phone.

I have log loss on my phone do the kind of stuff but when I preach by using physical Bible. I want to Bible my hand and when I teach Bible studies usually use my phone because of the same tools but there's all usually Bible part a hard Bible copy right next to me someplace to turn to it and lots of memorized. So I just say your go turn the student people who had Bibles next to me.

They will turn glaring at the verses and then some. So I mainly now go to digital. This is me. Okay. Will that they like your bedding down and it hurt. He recommended that all is well or paper depends what you like.

Just whatever works for you.

I like the digital one though because I like to look at Greek commentaries like look at the Greek and Hebrew. Sometimes a related versus elder studies, and then sometimes if I learn something I literally take a note on my phone number that you known the conduct so you know me that that's me, that's not everybody, my wife, she doesn't know she has.

She has a she does her phone to.

She has a young additional phone digital accompanist. She uses we go to church and get at home. She reads the Bible in her hand. You know the hardcover okay depends okay so much. All right, let's get a Philip from Orlando Philip are you there I met all right hanging in there with no you I know you believe there is starvation] lead to greater think that at Fort yes give Silverlight Web bird food like in the Bible where you can starvation that the binder job go to John 637 Michelle the screen here. Let's see there you go. And this would Jesus says in John 637 to 40. All that the father gives me will come to me and the one who comes to me. I certainly will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me this is the will of him who sent me that of all that he's given me. I lose nothing but raise it up on the last day for this is the will of my father that everyone who beholds the son and believes in him will have eternal life, and I myself will raise him up at the last day. So the will of God the father is that Jesus lose none. Would you agree Roy can write energies in order to raise our can Jesus lose any truth to okay so then Jesus can lose the will the father is that Jesus lose none so you're saying that Jesus fails to do the will of the father hold onto the fate keyhole unsettles your chart okay try to help you out here you're arguing with the word of God, will the followers of Jesus lose none can Jesus lose any can Jesus fail to do the will of Sir Troy can Jesus fail to do the will the father can Jesus let me fail to do the will of the father asked the question. Can Jesus fail to do the will of the father know I'm the only problem with nonstop… I have stopped. Can Jesus fail to do the will the father you to answer the question you you perfect in K never fail. So let me ask you.

I need a specific answer. Can Jesus fail to do the will of the father. What's the answer yes or no D fail to do the will to follow are not the answer and no good so that then can. If Jesus cannot filter the will of the father.

Then Jesus can't lose any candy, no then you can lose your salvation.

Can you then you can't lose your salvation.

There is no condition in here because for you. Unless you just choose not to believe this essay that could notice what verse 940 says yes you need to learn this because it's what it says uncle girl got a minute left the will of him was semis at all. He's given me. I lose nothing but raise it up on the last day. Verse 40.

This is the will of my father that everyone who beholds the son and believes in everyone becomes a believer. Is it will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day, that means our everybody who's written a believer will be raised on the last day to connect the will of the father, but it would be true for can lose your salvation. You are inadvertently accusing Jesus of failing to do the will of the father why I believe we do.

We are children, we collude to also then the master brings your time. Are you good enough to keep your salvation before God. I do it isn't working for you you good enough. I may not know no one is going to know when you start so this is know you're good enough to keep your own salvation by whatever it is you gotta do is if you can lose it based on what you do you keep it based on what we still got a hold of the faith, though you credit for all of that call back Monday on because what your teaching is false doctrine.

Kindly sorry our blessed Lord blessed is he needs it. They felt by his grace back on the air on Monday. Another program powered by the Truth Network
