Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network. Why is it apologetic to research what is log on why Lorenz is called responding to your questions and lick today's date is November 18, 2021.

All right here we have wide-open called which to be a ring blab mileage 720776 he went right now.

So whatever you just let people know it reminded them for a while from YouTube over to Odyssey ODYSE do is go there Odyssey.com sign up and then just to search for car and then you can follow us. As will be doing will be some stuff the plan plan is for me to start doing one minute seminary videos uploaded places in the fixed thanks okay inside the side of the list, do that. That's for the video of watching take care all right like is at five of lines 877-207-2276 and the soul got one of things I noticed online is that there's just a lot of misinformation, bad information. Also, information that's out there. Theologically, a lot of people just don't understand theology understand the logic height is that you had read our stack so we do have some calls come in my okay so my near day so I had to reboot my mouse and I have calls coming in that you can see right okay I can't say anything. Well, okay, not right so let's reboot like yeah life is a prehearing to talk to me yeah yeah okay you okay that's Keith and he's good guy like Tom. I said probably heard that Bill probably alright so it was that we have lines 87720776 and removing old Odyssey, so check that out if you want, and also if you want to watch the show you see me sitting here with a headset on my office, some exciting but the good thing about that is that there a lot of people in the chat room and we have a good fellowship.

There we really do and so a lot of the time clock good fun. So I hope the audit was fixed now to fix an adjustment had all this time, ready, and it's the one thing I forget to do that.

Do some switches and some flipping of switches and things like that. Each time an effort at the time of our calling 772072276 this good Alberto from Georgia, Alberto Baucom, you're on here will watching the video you dating.verily, that one divine person knowledgeable and angular saying that it's a very ugly thing that well it would be that person and eternal person blog. That means that you have no other other fellowship and torture forever. So my question to you with said that I thought… Completely got all my fishing why what that have to happen to love another being content with himself when phone felt. I don't know everything about you that Almighty Revelation chapter 1 verse eight 112 time slot there okay so first of all, the issue of eternal nature of God and one of things I was saying the debate is that God is one person then questions arise.

Since the Bible says that God is love for Chuck for eight weeks and Jesus in John 1513 greatest the greatest act of love is to lay your life down for a friend. Then the question becomes, in trinitarianism, can God manifest the greatest act of love and self-sacrifice.

Yes, you can and Unitarianism are what God is one. How does he express this aspect of love. How does express fellowship and Unitarianism. God would be eternally be alone. Since we understand God. By analogy, in the sense that we are made in his image. Genesis 126 and we understand that that we need fellowship. We need awareness of others things like that.

Then what we do is we try and understand how the single person of God would exist without a full manifestation of personhood is solicited is a difficult, difficult issue to rest their strengths and weaknesses that argument that the question also that he was fine also about being got all my God on the Scripture in 18 Almighty God was, that might also want anything.

Oh well know God and also in Matthew 11 verse 23 they shall call his name Immanuel that with them, but the Holy Spirit in the family for love on the face of the feet reached Ephesians chapter 1 verse three things that you were the promise that phone. So what that Holy Spirit.

John 1417 phase that that the comforter will be in you, will you not I thought there John 1417 you say a lot of stuff and I don't follow everything you're saying so break a question we get there with the artwork and faith. It is not about that. Jesus Revelation 1 8000 yes.

Revelation 1, that he is God Almighty was a showing on the Old Testament as well. That's right, but the Trinity X benefactor work on a rework on my articles that I wrote in 2008 I reworked it yesterday on the Trinity and the mentioned economic Trinity ontological Trinity. Teresa's understand that that there's only one God is one essence in one nature and therefore one will, but what we see are the manifestation of God in three simultaneous distinct persons of the question here is, it is this and this is a question I acted going to think about. I need to talk to some theologians about this because if God is a Trinity, then it implies an eternal fellowship and that makes sense. If God is one essence and he is then how is it that the one essence can be's perceived as free persons.

This is something to think about and for different levels of different ways. On one person to person. Three persons in the necessary necessary efficiency. What will be the most logical and efficient center as a revelation of God's nature and when we see the father-son Holy Spirit were seeing is relationship is a relation between the father-son one is the sender. One is the sent one and then the sons of one who is begotten you have what we call the spider ration of the spirit.

The proceeding of the Spirit from the father. Now the filioque clause issue is some churches whether Jesus is the spirit sees the father and the son are only from the father but the issue is here that there's a procession that the spider ration is it's called and this is in in the doctrine of the Trinity so I'm I'm thinking through a lot of these things are social to work out how how to work in some some other areas. It's not easy, but in light of that, the divine simplicity of God is the teaching that God is one eternal thing is not three parts but God is simply one thing one substance we perceive that one thing one substance in subsistence. This subsistence it's there like it's a sub quality of real existence. That's not different but is a something, and this gets it's hard to explain it away, so it looks like the Trinity is up is the explanation for that would then mean that there be no problem with God's eternal fellowship, love and covenant aspect, though some think that covenantal is him inside the Trinity would imply three gods but I don't believe so that we can cancel completely. It really a steep charge, think out loud sound of a bird imply that. Anyway, and not a Heidelberg lichen 13 and you know and I can get it. On the spirit of those parts for Gaza will be grieved, so he has attributes of personhood simultaneous with that of the sun. Now also I don't really framing on a lot of the earth could not think you mentioned a logical terms that are not like them also making about ducting like that nature is one of the many issue.

How do you recognize yeah yeah I get one.

It's what is the ultimate and that's the question since there is significant for philosophical question has been asked of the centuries.

It's the ultimate of nature. What is what is it is one thing, or many things and if it's one thing like the concept of chairing this and how do we relate to different chairs, different styles, different manifestation of different places to call particulars. What unites the particulars at the ultimate is a single thing like chair, but if the ultimate is the particulars and how you have a shared essence is the particulars all the ultimate and not the chair nests will this is the kind of problem that would arise in Unitarianism but not in trinitarianism because the ultimate is both the, the one and the many, the essence and the particulars universal and particular, this is way over a lot. He might even comprehend God. It will be worth it. We got our find not my and never comprehend internal thing that's right so we can never complete the Lord our God, by the by finite weight in gold.

Nature, we are no for God. God, I'm thinking that he will be called on all my blood and video competitive double guard and the complex humidity admitted he could not answer the first three challenges so he just got dressed and prepared for you for something different in a different way yeah logic not all you want in. You have a debate coming up next it with another one. The sky and I'll be debating intensely different method.

So you look all right. I thank you that I learned a lot right. Ms. Albert of Georgia folks, we have to open line 772072. Be right back after the mass Y call 770727 charismatic/76. The schedule lies from Massachusetts with no forwarding or advice you give someone baby with her walking with the Lord and maybe having trouble with her. What is what's the struggle based on their not good enough or not sure if you believe it was like maybe like struggling with ultralight then you look at the struggle that I like okay to bring… While I really say that it looks like our what it should be well.

We should talk because my devotional life like lately it's been pretty bad itself. I know that God's call me to pray more and I just always found excuses not to always found too busy and intermittently pray and that I do pray but my wife and I pray stuff, but I can read the Bible market this morning and I just get so stinking busy I'm right there please see I don't put my faith in my trust in my devotional life.

I put it in Jesus manifestation of my salvation is in orthodoxy with the proxy orthodoxies right belief and with the proxies right works the right doing not saved by her. But if you believe the truth of who Christ is God flesh.the cross rose from the dead and justification by faith alone in Christ alone.

That's orthodoxy with the proxy is your faithful to your wife. You don't why did people do you your honesty or your man of integrity before.when I talk to perfection here because nobody's perfect. But the idea of of your walking it in your your seeking to lock it when you mess up you deal with it right and and suck that's that's where we should be looking is is the Christ is the center of all of that like the sun and would orbits around him in orthodoxy north of proxy. The regenerative work of God's indwelling of Jesus in us is like two worlds out there in the state they orbit in the Baltimore are equally important. Orthodoxy north of proxy because without her Doxy. You can't be saved. When I was a proxy you are demonstrating your not safe.

Okay, it got and I got I am away. Part warmed up. You can we we we got a bit of the curtain and in the yellow… After battle. On the Getty help me a great deal and geeky out daily. Don't look to your own work and all the electric truck. He's exactly right. Because if you look to your own works while you're in trouble because there never ever going to marriage anything right you know I tell you enough you will. We hung out you and we hung out, it wouldn't take very long for you to whisper your wife this guy. He's got a lot of problems for its use in and save and I feel a bit about myself and how bad you look at beta hung out with this guy out there you know the Ray Ray. That's how it is, is how it is you know we we just learned long ago.

I know what might faith is and I know who my faith is in and my works. They flow out of Christ who lives in me, but those works don't contribute to my salvation, because if they did then and be in trouble. Would I be trouble. I wonder how many microseconds it would take for me to lose my salvation of the depend upon me in any way yeah oh yeah I like what I think you would to a certain degree I think that every believer might struggle with but you, my felt like when I see when you're believer, you still hear the gospel and bring great joy you went. When I got like a believer. It brings the assurance that I'm putting all that is thinking right and if like the enemy being that I packed all know where you believe that but yet you devotional life and I bring the okay you and I mean like it, you gotta have thought, absolutely. And the okay Vicki to submit a comment Jan with you. You know I look at my devotional life. Lately it's not been good and that my single that's okay don't worry about it was like okay, I'll write you it is not where it needs to be and what we do about it. Well, more push-ups, not sarong thing and you know Readmore is the good I think I'm suffering from burnout had a lot more trouble concentrating and doing is I still take vacations and unification. I think what ticket we can too often on this do nothing except stir the TV in an inlet drool run down my shirt with the different regions of the different times that we feel closer not still so close, there can be such things as hormonal problem women we know have hormonal should live alone.

No manner on a 28 day cycle. Just like women there there hormonal ups and downs are not as prevalent. However, but we certainly can suffer from that we can be fighting something you know and fighting depression to fight worries and concerns the way the government's going our society is decaying and in a can just bring us down and we don't want it with this live energy we need a break, and the devotion is just more responsibility added on me to want to do it and so nothing is all okay but when I counsel people. I look at them as real people with real problems who are sinners saved by God's real grace looking people messed up but your loved. You don't do it right, but your saved welcome to the club right surgically look at it and I appreciate it met. It could and you're struggling with your assurance is is another sense a good thing because you recognize what's right and you see where you are not dead people don't struggle for life.

So it's a good thing to write a good sign. If you are not in any way caring about it reduction months on end in a few minutes or day or two, or 30. Sometimes life but that was a persistent problem from the talking slap around little bit to get back on the horse you write right go fishing fishing.

Doesn't it make you say fishing I come back from pushing relaxed because you know I just I love the idea of looking at plastic worm. I hook a certain way generals of the water, my light pound test and watch the fish go forward or not. Go forth and it's me it's it's it's a clearly soothing, just that manipulation of the water of the line the and is nothing, also focusing on what a nice thing. I come back often refreshed. I think we need something right now. I think that they folks to open minds 877077 said that I call 77077 bracket want to open 77207276 Andrea. I guess from Raleigh, North Carolina. You're on your doing all right in there when he got right in. I'm acting. I wanted to find out what you know the Bible say about break mental health and late games are not medication and I know many of the current bear. I personally am a Christian I love God I have been going for the leather okay what it is.

It's not like depression right at night eight door. Something I chemically going on with me-I need to talk about our none.

I not really sure exactly that. I have people in my life that not medication. I am a nurse and I know that medication by I am having little balance. Eight medication helping you.

Now I carry something that I not get it guy like Dr. will help will turn to Proverbs 31, six and seven right, they didn't have a medication's antidepressant synesthesia.

Some things like that but they did have this. It says in Proverbs 31, six and seven. Give strong drink to him who is perishing and wine to him whose life is better, let them drink, and forget his poverty members trouble more to this is in Proverbs, so it's not saying you just get drunk and and just forget everything. The wine was used medicinally to one of your stomach. The New Testament says so. The idea of medications in the broad sensor approved of in Scripture so Diane was a woman who used to work with us. She's since passed away.

She was a retired clinical psych nurse. We had many discussions about this very issue and she very clearly said to me many times you said that there were many drugs that were very very helpful to people and they nothing to do them properly.

No problem. The problem at all.

And so I have no problem.

I don't see anything wrong biblically with some and taking antidepressants. For example, or my wife is on several drugs and not for antidepressants but because of stuff that she's got. She has your Marfan syndrome is. She has; we speech which is worse than that, by far, she's on various medications for various things and part of it is for pain. Pain management wealth we should don't take those thanks and do what we have to do because as our bodies get older as our environment has a lot of carcinogens in it.

As our foods have additives in their they can have deleterious effects on our psyche, our emotions and everything is a matter of fact, just the lately I can.

I'm having trouble sleeping. Having trouble concentrating. I'm having trouble all kinds of ways I can't sleep.

Write a Concert for very long. I'm thinking I need to do a cleansing diet and try something, don't come coming turning 65. You're pretty soon I'm getting up there in our bodies just get older so talk to my doctor. The doctor for the next month about all the fun something to bring this often. My thyroid is is going up. You know what it is all the stuff and what we need to do as Christians is trust that God is provided. Doctors and medicines and various things and use them appropriately become dependent upon them.

I know this. I know that doctors have saved my life at least two times when I had pneumonia so bad I was gonna die another one. My gallbladder was on the verge of rupturing and it did rupture while they were taking it out so it hadn't been for medicine.

Dr. killers so there's anesthesia is that they give you a total God.

It's all good it's all good stuff is all bent up in the fundamental like air people either increase or not. I'm kind You think like out going through out my we are not perfect here, riddled with problems that Dr. M perfect if you take when you go to the dentist they give you Novocain with the latest of this that's wise. What if, what if your your father dies your mother dies, you just lost your job and you just got hit with a major medical bill and you're fighting through this constantly constantly constantly and something else happens and you used your your exhausted because of serotonin levels can be kept up anymore because of mental stress is okay to take a course of this I'm gone. I might like my thing at 38 family right normal going on right. I hope you know what, there is no stigma, at least in my mind biblically know that there's no stigma. You take the ticket you or whoever to anyone out there taken at the present take it care so what medical supervision you don't don't abuse it then fine, we would take an aspirin for headache wanted to get a presently your brain wax out because of the distress and if you're your nurse. You know I've studied this you know the physical organ, the brain can get depleted and it takes a while to come back and this is what leads often to depression there certain I forget what kind of chemicals but they're in there and think it wiped out over longer distress. Not to mention adrenals that go forward with.

Does your body and when you expect, get this, I was in such high stress when I was younger I will give all the details but with such incredible stress is under that when I quit the job. The job because of it.

I started having the shakes for hours. One particular night, and within the past and afterwards I felt better. It was just like my part was body was vibrating because it was stress related. I had a friend who knew a doctor who gave the symptoms of that stress stress test powerful things to us when he breaks we doing some guy out and ideally PTFE and I learned a lot that you want to think that you don't deal with sleep correctly be negative that there like that.

It now. Whatever I got happy like that now ill come back and bite you in the process and deal with it when you can when you can so that you can run for the time before you tackle it, but the Bible says in Philippians 4627's do not be anxious for anything but in everything with prayer and supplication and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension going to hurt you much Christ as our Lord. This is what work was one of the verses that would we trust a God loves us.

He's allowing us to go through things for reason it's not easy. As Christians you think might look on her nose and that you taken the medicine man if I was in the room and I said that I be on them like a monkey and a cupcake politely ripping apart okay. God bless.

Okay, let's get to David from Georgia. Welcome around here that in every second. I was so good talking man who had been with me or show a lot lately, however, left month with higher year on how I show so you got problems.

Yeah okay look them up later so anyway I wanted to address that real quick more I get my question. 90 – okay, I know I work for the United Postal Service and I heard you say people you mail rock have old government site did you and I would probably don't know this but they made the letters they go through a little conveyor belt and Eve machine I would mess and now course again. Yeah. Ron you want to hear this, you are right right back after these messages to open lines 877207276] why call 77077 back but to keep going, don't send Pebbles I know it's not my job to clean the rock out of the mail sorting machine, but I do have old time actually worked out well and that his actual job doing really am okay silent on the truck though I don't doubt that yet people will mail going.

They'll mail you know different hard things and envelope and it goes through this machine and there's really only an agreement half the paper if there's anything like bulky and not envelope it will discredit all the fail this to the nearest of letters getting married. Mail little packages you know little boxes. They do have the really big like cardboard kind of envelope email.

I thicker thing than you did at they don't have through the mail sorting right that's good.

I do want to closet it so you could tell, you know it it's not my job that's all right case you haven't, send a 300 pound packages then you about that. Yeah okay I know my question was I went to Bible study last night Mike heard and barely they've been gone a few weeks talking about pre-tribulation and post-tribulation rapture not and he actually brought up something that I hadn't heard before, I've been re-trim my home life I get and I guess that just because I really would like like Don are like the theaters I was afraid. But he brought up Revelation 3 and 11 and it was compelling me and I would tell you had a context that is not compelling. I'm sure he did not look at the context to look at if you go to Genesis Genesis Revelation 3 it says in verse one church of Sardis.

Now, in Revelation 310 and 11. It's the church of Philadelphia. And so, somehow the church of Philadelphia represents the Christians. Now who will skip tribulation right woman. Okay, then who's start than who Sardis okay this question. And when you go past them whose legacy is it to the Christians.

Now Christians then will then little dues. Also, the seven churches are seven dispensations but if that's the case then why is this one of the recent but if that's the case then why is Philadelphia the second dispensation, so to speak. Furthermore, it says in verse seven of the D'Angelo church of Philadelphia right he who is holy, he was true. He who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one open says I know your deeds, ointment with which talk about this is the pre-tribulation saints we get rapture doubt then this is to them right. I know your DG holder put before you an open door, which no one can shut, because you have the willpower and have kept my word and have not denied my name.

Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are the Jews and are not, but lie. I will make them come down about your feet and make them know that I have left you, and then he goes on because you kept my word, the word of my perseverance. I will also keep never tested will know him as I fit the pretrip bridge saints. All of a sudden the synagogue of Satan and Jews come down about at the Christians feet if you know that it what Philadelphia: that's what you yes I mean is what he was saying us with a good meeting. Media contacts the first thing you do in exegesis is look at what it actually says right there. Then you expand a picture of target you know has a little circle and circle their circle beetle Gartner concentric in this.

What you do with site with the Scripture what to say right there is a first little target then you expanded out related things, context, culture, and you do course look at other versus another place and you compare menu interrelate them that you do all of it. But when you look at Revelation 3 and four install and you get these churches and things will here's the question answer good question is okay, let's say that Revelation 310 and 11 is about the pre-tribulation. Saints who can escape the tribulation, which I don't how to get that out of their does the perseverance is probably in relationship to the perseverance that was coming in the first century to the Christian Jews to the Christians of Seesmic. He says he says keep you from my Perseverance as I will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come on the whole world will is at 2000 years later, and then get a legacy incident like I could just brag. I've been to all locations of the seven churches relations with Turkey and live to see it was awesome. Ephesus was a great place to see but nevertheless this is now to the angel labeled the CSA equipment, whose legacy because if Philadelphia is the Christian church whose, but to get rapture then what's legacy is of the Christian church also in men, the faithful and true witness, I know your deeds, you neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were hot or cold Lindemann that can't be the Christians now had applied right what we want applied is Philadelphia church so we can get out of stuff and so people will take this to say see this pretrip list rapture.

If I was in a debate with them politely and would rip them up looking on site shall meet actually how this is related to the pretrip list rapture St. usually you know you have definitely made me start thinking about have really not honestly or not that thing you said about the wicked man before you think about like like what is that like you mean you have incredible resource that you don't like timeline of all is the yes of mankind. Well it's is you go to Carmen and you look up to ages in the supports of things like the type to ages in support of and the okay here it is an examination of this age needs to come in support of a millennialism, so this could tell you right up front, no millennialist, which means I believe were in the kingdom reign of Christ now could be wrong. I'm not dying on that hill and I'm not saying embryos is not as smart as me. I could be wrong that I mean that these are the reasons I believe what I do and it's worth looking out to the people agree great if they don't, okay get on the dinette health but if you go there you will see something it's not taught what I worked on farm on our that's okay and examination of this age and the age to come. This do it through an examination of this age to come, and the because her to ages and it'll show up in the search engine right there.

The top because the main premises. This that there's only two ages this age of the age to come. I have it listed out in a table in this age blast.

We will not be forgiven of people Mary are given in marriage, power and superiority of God in this age, etc. in age to come last. You will not be forgiven in this age or the age to come.

Jesus is right you receive eternal life. Initially, no marriage, and in the age to come, power and superiority of God in the age to come in so there two ages that that's what the model is appalled apostle and Jesus would question it happens.

What happens at the end of this age and rep.

Don is going through and on the research assignment told me about this and gave me the idea. Years and years ago. I've modified it in Fall River sense and that's Kim Riddle Barker is one who introduced me that people may know, we just and you'll find from the documents in the Scriptures, and it got there that will help they'll give you the summary at the end of this age, the wicked are gathered measure Scripture references and judged also. That is when the elect are gathered, which is when the rapture occurs, which is that Jesus return on the last day the wicked are judged. But that's also the day of the resurrection which occurs at the last trumpet which is also when the rapture occurs, the resurrection occurs on the day of the Lord, which is also Jesus return and the rapture.

This all happens after the tribulation the day of the Lord which is Jesus return the rapture and resurrection will come like a thief in the night, which is also the new heavens and new earth are made in heaven that's the comp that's the summation go through it and you can see I have worked out different ways. It's a tough study and check it out now that the church I got warm and I know that barely matter what determine what I'll bring. Okay, so I will that give a call later as you get it you think okay what you like and don't like about it, that's fine.

All right okay right but I okay got bless you to get to anonymous North America. I welcome you on here hello hello hello yes I how are you fine so my question, I know that they make the power to go to heaven, and Jennifer all bid everyone get their color skin tones or races is a tiny stuff like that. I because because I'm white then my shadow is black.

It's all genetics and when people live in different environments. Certain genetic traits will survive better than others, so generally speaking, in Africa.

Darker skinned people do better because white lighter skinned people is more susceptible to skin cancers, but in northern latitudes.

What is not as much sun white skinned people do better because of the vitamin D issue and I don't how it works with the mongoloid. This caulk is alloyed, which is why people the Negroid, which is the black people and the mongoloid which is the Asian. That's the generic term caulk is void Negroid and mongoloid of the terms I've learned years and years ago back in high school putting rates so you can get all of them genetically from mom and dad into mom and dad.

No big deal I just kind of surface in different areas is as those who have better genes that service upon birth will survive better. Not a problem that's all works okay already. On one time or another time there is the music. But tomorrow we gotta go. Sorry about that in my luck call back tomorrow for the Lord bless all of you tonight on the last chapter book of Ruth one another program powered by the Truth Network
