Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network that's like why is it apologetic to research what is found alive you have questions about Bible doctrine why Grimes is called responding to your questions and data are comparing it to Pearl Harbor 9/11 year in ways related recall you to do was dialing 77207276. I want to give a call and we can blab like blabbing about things of the Lord your last night. It was on of political discord and went to a room and just listen to people talk is all often work on something you just listen to unbelievers talk is what I do and so they were. I can't repeat what they were saying, but their extremely vile and erratic Christian room. No one was calling them on their vile paganism and I did write him a ride back to was surprised that you listened and so I think it is necessary that we as Christians sometimes I tell them how it is that they need the Lord Jesus Christ and the girl biting in their sin and die one day that all you do try to change a bit audio.I hope he'll change the audio to remind me.

Yes only thing I got going. Let's see you do that right now. And though if you hope because when you call 877-207-2276 we have good seats to through Polonsky McCall all right now to be on Friday only be on tomorrow next week to give you heads up who claim to be running the show for a week a look. Wayne works with us as a full-time guy, writer, researcher with Carmen and he's been with us for about five years. He's insulting city area. Great guy and so he will be running the show.

He's no big calls just like I do and you can call up and ask him stuff is really good looking James stuff that is a lot of things she knows a lot of stuff he's been right in researching for a while and loves the Lord good man and so that's going over to be training him up. I notice a couple weeks off work I work through it all.

What is let you know alright alright alright so I think that's about it when we just got the phones with the Anthony from Virginia Anthony welcome you on your hi Matt, I remember I call yesterday we were talking about pretty well but I kinda had to leave and wanted to continue our course of discussion and one question I I thought about yesterday talking about how unbelievers and believers do the thinking and yet differently I guess what I'm wondering is, can unbelievers act from a position of pure altruism in your in your mind can actually because are totally depraved are touched by sin in all areas that they are no Christian can act from a place of complete pure altruism. You understand, Jesus is this the level so are we acting in a manner that is consistent in the same level of purity is Jesus himself given his Christian steps now and much more or much less an unbeliever do that though any person do anything that actually right shift at any time. No, this is why when a believer can any action whatsoever.

Well, you see any action whatsoever. You got to understand that through Christ we can do things that are right and good, because it's filtered through what Jesus is done. People get this idea that their sincerity, their ability is good enough for God and it's not you understand that the Bible says that accursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the law to perform them know Jesus talks about from the heart.

You are to obey from the heart. Down deep to give you an example of something so years ago I Jesus illustration many times. Years ago I was on my knees praying was no one home. I was just at home alone and I was praying and 20 minutes. I could even think of anything more to pray about Askins.

I was confessing my sins to my Lord and just dealing with issues and 20 minutes of on my knees and I could not think of one more thing to say that is been ripped repetitive and I went on to pray and I said, Lord, thank you for not making me like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses know if you're familiar with Luke 18 1914 the Pharisee said thank you Lord for not making me like that that text together. And the point is that even in my humility before my Lord, I was prideful, the standard of perfection is Christ's character, not ours on so innately humanistic philosophies crept into the church and people think they think this lie.

I'll do my best. Jesus will do the rest. God understands my heart so therefore he will he will work with me because of my heart because of my sincerity could because of my goodness. That was a sick look how good I am in this area of the Bible says Galatians 216. Nevertheless, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ to the works of the law include loving your neighbor loving God being honest with people being sincere in your heart before people.

These are all Old Testament works of the law and many of them or read about it in the New Testament, and Bibles were not justified, biting that you and I are the same.

We have nothing we can offer God nothing.

Okay, I get my bike and started not so much the ultimate judgment but just the ability to do it on a human level can can't let fade of that area with which you definitely dropped the wallet and it's the art people come to the area where the ball is dropped. Unbeliever and believer can they both think the thing thought about helping the person who did both think I fell I want to help the earth that not that that guy will judge their feet right. It might build at least think that that… That of wanting to help another person when it both could sink it. Okay, now what okay what is going to establish that that their ability to engage in a free will act on the part of nonbelievers and believer it in a converse with the same thing than think the theme of course that you couldn't okay well I think it theme to me like yesterday. You're saying that you know unbelievers are incapable of acting in it of acting in an altar with the manner they cannot do any good works that cannot but make it Dick Bacon act from a position of wanting to do something that's good in their mind. Yet in their minds are subjective preferences, so let me ask you what makes a work a good work and how do I define the action so there are good in my mind. There are good acts. There are bad acts in their neutral act but I don't know where it is good act done. No no no no stop messing is neutral. Nothing.

Well what if I would like to work in the road and I went out and I want a right or left is that not unusual to know it's not every decision you make is moral because every decision you make, ultimately, has God's involvement in it he has given you the ability make a free will choice. She's given you the ability to drive a car he's given you the ability be saved and whether you go left and right not to get the contemplate left and right in the glory of God in which verse negative gopher left and right not talking like that but everything that you do has a moral value because to say that it does not is to say that God is not the Lord over everything he's Lord, and sovereign over what direction you church you choose you down the wrong street. Okay well everything miss you question 2+2 is four.

Right right correct okay.you believe that 2+2 is four. Yet why is it logical necessity or is there and/or is there treatment a moral necessity, we would know latch. I'm gotta believe it. But is it moral also answers yes because the only way to justify the universality the laws of the transcendental nature of logic and in mathematics is because God is the necessary precondition for all of these things. And we ought to believe what is true because all truth comes from God. Therefore, you morally ought to believe that 2+2 is four. Everything okay I can agree with that. That, but I think we were diverging is how does a person arrive at the conclusion that you put into it or it their own window and lorded it God implanting the thought or belief in the thing that's another topic about transcendentalists and universals and things like that would pick to get you that right now is a deep topic but the thing about being good or bad. The Bible says in Romans 310, 11, 12. No one does good to believe. No one does good. Of course asked exception. This is Christ himself. But we know what's going Jews and Greeks are all under sin for no one does good. No one seeks for God so that's what the Bible says I've heard I've heard interpretation that a poetic expression that hyperbolic youth to create 1/10 of accident can cannot unbelievers do good works from the perspective that could matter to God not you and not your neighbor because that subjective subjective morality. Who cares before God, believe they do at work. I believe God got you there.

Good work that good lately lately lately well well well well you said you cc are good works is good, you automatically said their good works you just presuppose that we haven't defended that it's the case, how do you justify biblically that an unbeliever can do a good work will it God said love your neighbor because it good you that an unbeliever love his neighbor, then the unbeliever has done a good thing. Now I'm not saying that pain on either their Zen we have to ask more questions. What is the standard of of what is good when it comes to loving your neighbor. What is the standard of of that love is it your neighbor is you or is it Christ God is Christ so the standard is Christ. So do you love your neighbor as Christ did. Maybe not deeply but you know I will bear the answer is no, you can't tell me that you behave in a manner and this one particular instance on an equal level with purity on the level of Jesus himself can't say that were talking the okay not talking about you know you know if I don't, I won't leave Becky to thanks Natalie appreciate that. It's good thing that thinks that we get that were not talk about that were talked about what ultimately is good. A lot of times Christians fail to understand was the ultimate standard and they don't want to go to God. They want to go to themselves trying to break you from that have others listed and be broken from this as well. Well what what what I originally sure if you're taking a break. I would like a little more time there's a break for because they get you back your right. They focus with Rebecca is my hope that this conversation is really right back after mass Y call 77077 right back on Anthony from Virginia will I wondered about the moral but what I want to get down with you come to a fork right or left. Yes, why as a human being have a neglecting any moral repercussion that moment actually to between right or left, like the unit just that basic level of freedom.

At that moment you can choose okay so it appears to me that doesn't violate God, ultimate sovereignty, no. If you let decision who says he doesn't control the decision to get that we would I think is sit on the sidelines hoping things work out widely believe that human free will.

Unit are actually able to choose between multiple competing at a moment in time that ultimately it does require that human pattern of God has given us the capacity to course VA is it hurt her hip prescribed course of of of event. Of course that's critical just call the prescriptive will of God and heal in his permissive will he allows us to do things contrary to what he wants us to do in a moral sense so you know you could, I could lie. Nothing would I hope you two of us will ever do that but we could do that right because his prescriptive will is don't lie we have the possibility of being able to do that he would permit it. But that decision is within God's sovereignty. Don't think that God is like a Mormon, God whose learning limited. You know, people have a good understanding of who God really is a God of Scripture.

Okay, I think. Conflict the can you often and God being absolute and overall effect of the universe… And what I guess you don't know who the Christian God is leasing God is a good guesser. You think that human free will is something that God has to wait on to see look worse.

Jesus bore our sins of the Atlantic because it you will show you something Holland does did Jesus bear our sins in his body and the cross. I'm sorry, what eating there is no in a manner of speaking is loaded. Listen I just quoted first Peter 224 he himself bore our sins in his body on the cross did he bury ourselves a lot of the cross that he Barrett brought and you provided you know critically about scam.

I said it. Jesus did Jesus bear our sin in his body in the cross answers yes or no. You yes now does God know all of our free will choices in the future. I think that I okay so it's either… You have no it's not. It it it it is difficult if you don't have proper understanding who God is. But look silly. Jesus bore our sins in 2000 years ago is when he died. What sins that he bear for you and I if he did know what choice is working to make and would send her to commit so explain that you know me, general manager is generally what's general sin, when it was that general sin could be human and it there pretty well take a look Anthony, you're moving into heresy your open so you start you are. I don't I don't describe okay. Open theist says that the futures open because God can't know what her free will choices were going to be because if he does all that means that we can't be free to choose them as so therefore, the lower the majesty and knowledge and presence of God in order to elevate their own freedom. That's called open theism, the God of open theism can make mistakes, the God of open theism doesn't know all things exhaustively, the God of open theism doesn't know what sin is, to impute to Christ because your view of God is so low. This is nothing mad at you I'm just informing you because your view of God is so low you regular these errors so I don't think I don't think the thing that gave human libertarian lowering God's yes it is. It only dissidents because what you're doing with it. You just said it may or may not be that God knows the future. What free will choices are to be yes it is your that's a heresy to read something to you okay now I believe the God that man has free will be billed to make a choice what they want to do what I want to do it. I believe that you do to. I believe this is act four 2728 for truly the city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel to do whatever your handed your purpose predestined to occur, so he predestined these people to do those bad things to access it with me. I am so good to have free will choice to build a do it well.

I think that translation is different and found like I read NIV and I think it does read a little bit differently.

It is very ambiguous with unambiguous exactly what they think like they are in my opinion. Okay, so now what you're saying as well. The Texas really say that the guessing thoughts right. That's what it says messy question did Jesus have free will. Did you know that I'll just Jesus has free will. And yet Jesus he could do nothing unless it's with his father is working for him to do right I see it all into the new audit will abide by his holy perfection.

He says he can do nothing of himself.

John 519 this and could do nothing of himself, so he has free will. Is it not true that God the father sent the son to do with the father had a thing for him to do well in an alternate know you do anything without God because God created the universe. Anthony okay I'm just on the one you meant your you are you in bed with heresy was probably going to happen to you if you don't repent of this is you can go further and further down the line of of false teaching and you'll end up denying the true living God morning you don't I'll believe I'll believe that believing in libertarian free will is denying God in any way listening or you don't listen to me you sort of saying you have already stated that Jesus may or may not have bore our sins in his body. When I talk about" you the Scripture from a very accurate translation of asked for choice of a 20 exit well. This not necessarily mean that in other words, now the Scriptures don't really mean what they actually say because you want to elevate your human freedom above God's sovereignty you're doing is called idolatry.

You got call back tomorrow we'll talk about right. The Lord bless you write that photographic messages is 77 mass Y call 77077 charismatic/all right look back everybody, Raleigh, North Carolina.

Welcome your on your have trouble having trouble understanding you could you please what were now amen I guess a list concealed now taking a human male hello yes can you say communion near of wonder can a person that will have communion and hello that is convincing themselves about at home. You, I don't see anything the Scripture says you can't normally how it's done publicly is in the context of a church service with other people.

Our tradition is that we have an official clergy person who administers communion and I don't see that is in this necessity in Scripture as well.

So since I like to judge everything by Scripture. I don't see anything in Scripture that says only clergy can give communion. I don't see things Scripture says you have to have two or more people there… Say that though some of the deserted island and have been stuck for a while whatever reason, and he wants to communion he or she I don't see any problem with in the context of taking what we call the best elements you could arrive at and go through some for the ceremony and in the taken as an active of of adoration before God and attempted to minister to network by himself. I don't see a problem with that and if I can not see a problem with that, there about a person stuck in the home. People with disabilities can go anywhere, can they do that then I think that they could. Thanks. Best to do it in the gift conduct on the desiccant.

That's 12 and that they have not looking for and about not getting it. Well it's getting they have have online services where people will say you'll get your elements ready and you take it in a joint effort you do yourself in that sense I have a problem that either the best way. Of course, is in a church context we were to get together. That's the best way it's that systems work sometimes.

Sometimes people are stuck in a hospital for months, or in home for a months and they watch the sermon on TV you were on the phone on Sundays and they wanted to communion what can they do.

I would say go get some wine if you can, or are grape juice and a little bit of bread and set it aside, and then when it's time you take it in and that's communion I don't have a problem for okay okay I usually you what I hate that you usually do when going to quibble. Don't for one week only to do one week I'm going to schedule the schedule that that's he does every three months because I just know which is good to to disciple people and raise them often like that and went to great guy he really is and you'll enjoy him. He's full of knowledge and wisdom and I don't with him know that I said that.

But do you think you like it all right okay okay all right better. God bless. Okay.

All right. There was Rudolph.

Let's get to the way where is the thing you want to talk about were discovered as a say that Jesus was sprinkled. Just my opinion. I'll answer the question will get to play next. I believe Jesus was sprinkled not immersed is baptized. People think, what are you I thought you were smart, how could you okay doesn't baptism always been no immersion, no it doesn't. Not always. For example, the lesson here just a little bit. I'll explain it all end up with the with the young. The stuff okay so this is Hebrews 910, since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of of reformation and the context when you go before and after the context of it is this talking and this is just verse 13 I just read verse 10, another read verse 13 for if the blood of goats and bulls, and ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who been defiled, signified a pledge of the flesh that you need to read the things on your own and check these out, but you'll notice that that's things that the writer of Hebrews is talking about various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of redemption. But when Christ appeared as a high priest for the good things to come. He entered for the greater more perfect tabernacle and not to the blood of goats and cows with his own blood he entered for the blood of goats and calves and ashes of ever sprinkled those who have been defiled, signified classics goes on and if you read before and after. In the context of Romans nine will cease referencing Old Testament sprinklings. That's what it's doing Old Testament springs a blood and things like that will.

The reason I focus on Hebrews 910 is because this as they relate only to food and drink and various washings.

The word washings is Baptiste voice it.

It is the great Baptiste Moss Baptiste Moss baptism is used here is washings in the context has to do with Old Testament sprinklings. He was able to know about that. Look at this good asked to write a think about this. Let's do this were sick and all Judea was going up to to John the Baptist all Judea was going up to him to be baptized, and he had his ministry for a couple three years for a while. I did the math of the numbers are all of Judea. I did the historical analysis of the population is the time.

It's like hundreds of thousands of people.

Now they were all going out to baptized by John the Baptist.

Now it doesn't mean every individual but how many thousands of people are going out there because this is the whole of Judea.

All this was going to be baptized. I think it's a whole lot of people. What a lot of people 10,000 if he was doing 10,000 people and I did the math.

There's no way he could do all those baptism by immersion in two, three, four years just doesn't work when you go to acts chapter 2 it says 3000 people were baptized only a minute who do the baptisms not just say who's with the baptisms doesn't say how many were to the baptism. Some people say hundred 20 disciples were doing that. Some say just one. Some say 12 I think Wells good number because the 12 disciples represent Christ would be the ones doing the baptisms officially, it makes sense, but there is no proof of that. But this is work with that 3000 people were baptized with that's the case dirt in the upper room when it is initiated at me as he had to leave. That means ahead. It will preach someplace else and 3000 people were baptized in one day.

If you do a baptism is giving 3000 people were baptized in eight hours of nonstop baptism all 12 disciples would have to be immersing the person every two minutes roughly every two minutes 20 seconds that just if 12 disciples are doing it nonstop for 12 hours for eight hours. That means you have to do each 11 baptism every two minutes and 20 seconds now where they can do this in the public fountain. This makes sense, akin to the public fountain. It it it gets up the water.

Dirty people drink out of it. It's go to the river, will the Jordan River is cold so you have the disciples standing up to their waist or chest in cold water.

Think hypothermia if there only standing up to their knees, then they have the issue of back problems lowering someone down in the water and raising them up every two minutes and 20 seconds for eight hours they go down like 100 pounds weight hundred 5 pounds from water saturation in the clothing while they're there. You targeted the numbers go when and why was my why she Jesus was sprinkled I say was because Jesus said in Matthew 315. He said that he was to be baptized in order to fulfill all righteousness to fulfill means Old Testament if you go to Leviticus chapter 8 Numbers chapter 4 nexus 29. You'll see in those chapters that in order to enter into the priesthood and Jesus as a high priest at the door to my cousin Dick Hebrews 6 2725 in order to enter into that priesthood yet to be 30 years of age. Jesus was 30 verbal blessing given my beloved son, whom I will please anointed with the Holy Spirit to unknot with oil as a tip type and sprinkled with water that's Levitical law, you find that need. With numbers, except Jesus was fulfilling the law. That's why I believe immersion sure is fulfill the law we write back half of these messages. I call 77077 on target say about surrogate our chat room. I made up a word I said, I do think it is flabbergasted or irritated people. What I said to her crack it up, so put it on Karma. This lectionary just now. Lot of fun. All right.

Sorry Clay you there buddy brother God bless you man, recruitment, and happy new year. He might be able to come planted cocky records about him, but it was little disturbed by the work that I find it interesting that when you have colored it calling him and and you you were coming with the biblical knowledge and insight that you have said and that that one call certain things in you know, I know you know what I can share with you and I know our are capable of that.

The background number sprinkled when I got baptized and I was fully immersed and was shared with me what that was, meaning, and it it it it is knowing that there is a quiet thing inside your heart that is guiding you and renewing you and regenerating you toward where you are in your walk with you it off. I find it. I've heard so many people talk about certain things over the years. I'm so thankful for treat radio when you being in the timeslot that you are because the Lord created that happen you know it's not about what works about the value you should call up or email Truth Network and just email and let them know that you preach not just me but the fact that they are concerned with truth and that I could tell you stories. I know from behind the scenes dealing with the owner. The system of the networks to great guy. He is more concerned with the truth than making money.

I meant only that, but what about every euro I don't know if you were able to hear the call in thing brother Steve. You need to work out every day and the all filled in for him to develop okay traverse to you. I did and I got Bob got to meet, talk to you know outreach darkroom and her brothers. When you're marketing your rain in Raleigh.

You know, several years ago, but you know it it's not about being a good work person about your leg what you feel good about your inside yourself. If I can help that God that called into little bit ago. I know that it is a book of Hebrews that talks about that people have directed white followed where hardware for God the father because think about this. Here's the interesting thing for me is that in the book about you donated to that book a couple come the book Robert chapter 8 verse 29 it said that he foreknew before you were or anybody else were born before they were we going to. He foreknew everything and he is the creator of everything is all knowing, all in control so it out just I'm glad I got you, why, why does he does because he is a low view of God in a high view of himself.

It's that simple block. I think he had also been misguided and make a list just yet. And all right, his amazement misguided.

Which is why he has a low view of God and a high view of himself. He's thinking that I asked somebody that I want to ask him. Can anyone do anything good apart from God. If he says yes no goodness is not depend upon God that how can an atheist, whose apart from God do anything good. It's real simple, but the question of expected vertical request upgrade for the creation of God the father and he knows what you're going to do with the situation where you know in detail so that when he replied right at your shirt. He was unteachable.

So was a question I've heard heard people talk about regarding COBIT and I know that you have shared your viewpoint on it and go hurt somebody talking today about it and out. There were a couple of the people that jump in and out look, I don't. I don't look at anything else I could listen to a radio station called true grit you and they bring the truth about what happened and I feel that good COBIT thing is all Cory Annable let it get ready to happen regarding God about that thought he could have a complex question though everything out eight people are being deceived and lied to. Is that not part of land that have that got also some deluding influence upon people's will believe a lie successfulness to 13 so God is sovereign over all things.

And do I think personally, my opinion is the COBIT, so to speak. Pandemic of being used to control people absolutely absolutely absolutely have to go to the guy thing appointment yesterday and I had to wear a mask in the building and Avery had to wear a mask of the building and I know that the masks don't do anything there. The cloth naturally 3% effective at best and the surgical mask are roughly 50% effective, and if you touch them on the outside. There are no contaminated effect. I use the same mask. I put my pocket I've had for months willing required to enter a building is put on satisfied. I want to say yeah this thing from big dirty linen.

The chair you're sitting in you know it it's just insanity you want us to comply compliance markers were older than my brother here with a couple people about part of the note in the line because I know that I liquored certain thing feel that when I hear you. He got with the truth because you're right about C be able to talk to that man in the book that became outlet that I got from him February last year to read it. It brother. I'll be honest with you if mixed in it hope and pray that what you're saying in the other character.

What they're saying will radio because it make you knowledge because you can go where the Lord leads you to grow.

Here's the note that this can't have a question though because you know when other question… Okay because we highlight agree with title to with stand up Chris to distend that they need to be united in the past is not insert preaching and teaching about our obligation before… For government. We have both the God's dream and bartered his right buddy, what I believe in NNN and then we all thank you brother got like a man. I'm looking forward to when you have another call will bring great truth and let people here that's right please God.

I have ordered for Mike, thank you for your break article 46. Click completion all right. Will God bless those good biscuits and an iMac in my car you know when I'm getting off work but if I get you quickly about that and they and the Jordan River 1998 at my first candidate is draft and edit weapon one of the date they now have very organized that late, but this is like right now and then I'll marry you now, or whatever that little facies running between LA and about eight you know night about the lady that I paid that and match.

It is not that hard but you know that with that very said maybe I'm wrong, let me let me know that that he came out at that water out and out when you think the anxiety I will sit tight for example, go to next chapter where the few neckties that is the last thing upon the right. So was that Philip was also baptized could not connect out of the water. Well, I would be a regular bank and out of the water indicate highly thought that I was like, where Nate is not so coming up on the mountain. It might mean a guide is a necessity in leaving Vincent California daughters would be offered each idea. I contacted her knees, Isaac, water, water emerged and a likely looking at all the lots. How can the sky 3000 2001. Now that doesn't get you to send you there's going to do that is a miraculous sizing into.

You can't just discuss this with miraculous okay all right now to think critically I I'm glad I made that that I would love to experience about that ticket day that I know that you gay. Even if a Jewish people have, but they felt that it it's like that of a carryover at that thought and and so to me it would just make an II train – how they fit I want to make that water is not what you do not say things like close and disrespect your life because in the Old Testament the priest was stricken with water and energy, is baptism that therefore he fulfilled the requirements will present a long and I get that's on the so I chose to let you know anything contrary to their cold it's going okay.

All right, one more: Monique Scanlon welcome. We got about a minute okay Carol that clear.

I might like it.

You'll notice when something with compassion and other like you at the gate like that is not yet and I yet and I want hope all the time and have a lot of time with the code strategically with those people that if your Mac to qualify that my forth an apologist, but I know the word of God but because I'm so that throne could get one out that gravel that I learned over the get grumpy anyway like okay Holy Spirit where all you call that tomorrow is about that time they focus well there you go my whole body of don't just assume all right hey folks there tomorrow is another program powered by the Truth Network
