Why is it apologetic to research what is found alive for you have questions about Bible doctrine why Grimes is called responded to your questions and took off what we have for lunch. Mel show up at 77207227 surgery talk about all kind of stuff. If you are curious about the Christianity truth, will you all kind of things like Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses criticize unity Bible?

Not so sure what evolution you could talk a little kind of things UFOs all called to do this for long time. And of course the website CAR M.O are the Christian apologetics research ministries want to check it out, arm dots or visits upon the air to get the rate from I will write welcome you on their page number all right hanging in your mail when you more about Passover and the lack okay.

I happen to have my wife's uncle and Julie still I get to quit him sometimes. He wasn't exactly sure about from the ant this year, but from what I understand are actually more cup in the Passover and I didn't quite and one other quick thing was when Judith with Jesus and to ask cup that it was actually a horse ready. Bitter herbs and I just didn't quite understand everything about path to learn. I wonder if you could shed a little more light. Actually, I don't know too much about my juvenile friend who knows a lot about its ESA completed you and he goes round this Passover Seder. Some things like that but to others there's four cops and the they are of sanctification, plagues, redemption and praise and there's different things that are done in them. You could go on online and go through and check amount to seek another 4 cups of Passover.

See what they are is a lot of places out there that talk about them in depth of the written article never done any research on them but I have heard that they take the bread and put the bread in. And I think three folds or three seats letters and one of them is broken and it's so typical of the broken work of Christ been broken and that is broken but the crucifixion and the shedding of blood is is technological of Christ. So what I would do is go through an antecedent confines of the need to write an article on it because when people ask this good motivation to write an article and the different Dr. member Vanessa the 4 cups will be worth looking into this.

After all, I heard that there the bread what role can which is actually not flatbread and one of them was buried in a white cloth that the child had take it out. There's something which is very interesting. And then the other.

Then it was brought back after three days and then the other two pieces appeared and I find so much out there when I google I wasn't quite sure of everything that's really know that any link is being I let the child some of that down to just look upon the 4 cups of the Passover in their "just compare different articles and you'll find that's the case, like a friend who knows this a lot to calm and ask him to write an article for carbon political because he's the guy who knows that be wonderful. Thank you brother. Sure we could help you more talking again that's all right RML Douglas Miller all right brother, but okay you call.

We have three open lines 877202276. Let's get to Rudolph from Raleigh, North Carolina Rudolph near my court.

What about the work. Ripley of the church is although there is just debate on this kind of people will get called up yesterday and said that, but I've heard that it will be seven dispensations.

I don't necessarily agree with out there's the issue of seven types of of church attendance church people churches on the just and all kind of conjecture about what they are.

Seven obviously is a biblical number of her significant number and the all the churches seven churches are in Turkey, the present-day nation of Turkey and the privilege of being able to visit all those locations and when I actually read Revelation, I'm reminded of them. As far as what they are. I can't tell you because the Bible doesn't tell us it just says here's the church of Enders conditions and I kinda suspect that as we read through them their intended to reach into our own hearts and bring to issue those failures and successes in our own lives.

That's how I look at it because when I read through it.

That's what happens to be nothing on the doctrine of experience and the dispensational is like this because seven is a will say seven dispensations. I don't see that is being necessitated by the text or supported out of the seven churches. I think in reading the text too much so that's what that's what tonight I hope to okay okay right all right you you're welcome. Looking you to write if you want to give McCauley for open lines 877207227601-don't forget to check out the site.

Welcome your near replicator one. All right we got a thought. I got a question for you about, difficulty of having gone to go to a time of of get out just feeling very spiritually dead, and it brings up the question in my face actually called my picture seven-month go on doubt. Going through, but I'm calling on another aspect of it now and it kinda goes back quite a ways and it it it it began my afternoon on it began probably like almost a year and half ago mom and I had gone too far with my then girlfriend at Computex. Now my wife and had a Esprit there couple times are just going for implication that we should not and God before that had given me that the strength builder have full control of the and him you know, refrain, and I was being convicted heart of the Holy Spirit not to do what I was about to do and it's almost just like I just ignored it and did what I wanted and that night driving home. It's almost like I felt like I could not feel like that the Holy Spirit like I tried repent and could be done. And ever since I just felt like I'm genuine when I repent and just so this only to spiritual strange things I did and I was trying to figure out what happened. He died that day. No was my salvation. I do so I'm glad you feel bad. Glad that you feel you glad you do and you may be surprised when I say that because what it is is the realization of the consequence of your deliverance and it's right to feel that because I believe in your case, the Holy Spirit has distanced himself from not given up on so that you can in no and experience what it means to turn your back on God. Serve your own flesh. The reason I know this is because I know it.

I was most sanctified person before before… Leave it at that. What you do comes a time when you have to realize that you're not worth saving, and yet he saved you not worth loving yet he loved you and that your sin is strong and grievous. As a consequence to get the same time is not given up on social never leave your perspective and sometimes what God does is is is this what you want is what you could have a nickel along suffer the consequences. The consequences is harm to your fellowship with them and so it's nothing is normal. It's okay.

It's normal in the sin.

This is what happens when you do is you need to. If you haven't already. Need to go to your life and talk to her about this idiot confessed to her, your sin, not, not hers.

Yours in leading her strength and you asked for forgiveness and just tell her you want a good man that you apologize your sorry you haven't done it. You need to.

If you have done it. That's good and you need to then go to God answer you probably already have and use laid out before him to talk to him about the feeling your feelings. The damage has been done. It's just like as if you'd gone out on your wife and try to make it right. The damage is done, takes a long time. But the thing is, God will never you have to understand something good on your knees, you pray you say Lord I know you have forgiven me and I trust in your forgiveness. I seek your fellowship and just like David who understand David.

He with Bathsheba and what he did and had her husband killed as adultery and murder and the Lord rebuked him and was costly, and yet God said that David was a man after his own heart when it be possible because David said there's one thing I've asked of the Lord that I do on the house of the Lord forever. God's grace is greater than your sin and his love for you is greater than you have got to rely and trust. When Jesus was asked how much he loves you. He opened his arms and died for you and you have to trust and that in your field a good move beyond and commit yourself to living the right way to break the hold on for folks.

We have three of the lines 8772 max Y call 77077 charismatic back to the show's what I say help it very much and I would like to go on. I was I went to bat and many think this is been driving me insane and kind of help to know that no reminders for Dr. will set about apologizing for my wife.

I called my wife and have not done that yet, but I will do that night and if you ask your forgiveness. You tell her you.

You responsible for your action. You lead her astray, and repent of it. You confess it is to pick her up because it's what Christ do to make things right to go to the person you defendant then you defendant heard within a God, you go to both, then you can understand something that understand something, remembering something here but to trust God beyond your ability to understand the trust God beyond her ability to see numbness speak about something generically but my just tell it was a time in my life before I was really walking with God that some pretty bad stuff that we want a private phone conversation I tell you and some the consequences of that little sins were waiting on me like a thousand pound weight here and they would not go away and I could not get rid of it and as I grew in my relationship with Christ. Looking back on my past.

I realized Bohemia's.

My choices had been even as I knew them. Christ, and yet had chose to serve flesh and my wife girlfriend then had a roommate woman who sat me down and talk to me about a half-hour and what she taught me was that it was not trusted in the blood of Christ that I was holding onto soon that he'd Artie paid for and that I was beating myself up for too much unitrust in what he had provided and I said yes but I'm not worthy of this is coarser. That's exactly the point that he is what is working to take care of it for you trusted that you got accepted because to not do that is to deny the sufficiency of that atoning sacrifice say she was right, and it took a while, but soon after I was able to release that sin and rest in Christ and not worry about it that I dismissed it as peers.

It was the blood of God himself taken care of, I can't help that right. I don't have the right, because to do so is to effectively deny the sufficiency of Christ is a hard thing because in my mind it made sense, but in my heart know I need to be punished. Foolishness is it's it's our foolishness is our sin is our sense of righteousness. I should be punished. I should, I would feel better if something bad happened to me and I knew it was because of this, I feel somewhat better because then I'd earn my own deliverance from Americans because were sitting. Christ, active deliverance wasn't good and I can do something. So then we find out that now were sitting in that link to McMahon I can get that right. So then, that's why I have a saying in my prayers over my heart betrays me just betrays what I think I'm wrong whatever motive I've got. It's not your just a big mess.

I just just for myself, the city disciplines me next. Sometimes… Have that sin so that that's what happens to us that it breaks us. We crawl across and we rest their cousin got nothing else none of our thoughts and our guilt were wishes to all the district appealed trusted it's okay for you to do that because he did it right. I appreciate it. Thank you very much you welcome very much when you're at the cross when you look to your side you'll see me there with you confessing basically the same thing. We have so many sins, you'll see a whole host of people around the cross, confessing same sins when we are but he's good all right unitrust okay thank you on a brother. God bless you. Call me back in a week or so. You may know how to go all right, folks pray for him God. Those who use them boiled tile.

So many of us know that story for the lines going to give me a call 87720776 look at the clotting from Raleigh, North Carolina, gladly welcome your group would have been carded regarding the kind percent is 15 glass guard Robert fell about and followed up normal, though not fully Philco. No, the people on the right to go to the gift of credit. If you like about you that you conduct initially the silly question was the other information on the particular event is that what you're saying that you got bought out. It brought them out. As you know many people died right in. Then you guess is that the Bible, yes, got friend at the you that you talk like Michael Betty got for symbol 2219 and was the Amalekite the eye and then Ahimelech answered the king and suddenly goes on to read through their in verse 19 struck, not the city appreciate of the sword and am so there's that happens there but what you could if you wanted some other instances of this kind of thing. Yes it does happen. God did have the Israelites David and others in Samuelson go in and or salt going on and wipe out entire groups of people can you hold on okay Rachel please okay for folks like you give a call for open line 772-0776. Be right back after these messages the mass Y call 7077 charismatic slave with arguably what is really North Carolina. Welcome, think about you. What great about mom about that so many people love love about. I will wear out giving up by everything that old body rather awful lot like before Bobby Foreman over the bridge already. Bob said Swisher? Would you question artwork lab copy. Being the bug you sing. What can we learn from what's happening in the Ukraine. I'll log 12 of the home. Well, they're going to a great deal of difficulty getting understand your business going on over there. I do know that war is never clean and never easy, and that innocent people always suffer. In fact, my wife what her relatives herbs are the family from France and there was a horrific cousins were very close relation home to her mom. The had to stay in a certain house in in France while the allies were bombing to get her the Germans and was still in the house with an injured and he couldn't move them in a bomb blew them all up and then meet as friendly fire is an example of something so my wife signed the family that lost people in the work they didn't do anything. That's the nature of of sin in the world and more this, there are theological aspects we can learn from it. Such things it theologically as God's in control.

He's allowing it's this is the consequence of sin.

This is the evil of war etc. we could list all kind of thing with a lot of those things are just not satisfied, and how can we be comforted even though those things occur, the comfort that we have to have is in Christ, knowing that like the disciples who went through persecution and difficulty that God was with them through it. They learn very quickly how to be rejoicing in Christ during hardship and that's not to say that working to go through it, but that people there are can be very blessed by God in that situation and that he is there with them. We need to understand that, and yet at the same time people do suffer, and we need to pray for those people who are suffering, as well as the persecutors for their salvation that God's work will would be done through it all, so we can we do it generically and give theological truths lifetime theological truths are very comforting and how you comfort somebody for very very difficult because bad things happen we have to look beyond them and look to Christ and know that ultimately redemptions with him and then we have the opportunity pray for people we do should do okay but all I got a makeover update on thinking about Claire and Victor. Now what about for you. I want you know why God allowed life. He allows it to happen and he doesn't tell us why but he allows it to happen and we can list out possible reasons for a greater good, because it's the consequence of sin because people are not listening to him. We could come up with all kinds of things.

One of the things I lean towards is that we are all of us representatives of God on earth whether their atheists are not because were made in the image of God and so they have the calling of God the responsibility of God's representative. This is how it is in Adam. Adam is a representative of all of us and all people were in Adam and so therefore made his image and we have this obligation, but people read Jack that obligation and so God is letting people have the consequence of their sin and rebellion and this is a theological biblical truth. He's letting us have what we want as a whole is mankind and is going to lead to death. Jesus says those days we not cut short, no flesh would be left with 2422 I believe it is so it's the stuff you want the drama without clear what about thank you very much. How different they will find their dog or your wife on board about their no board looking through the next probably for you to God bless and thanks appreciate right. Let's say illicitly with unbreakable take the caller to you for open lines 877-207-2276. So let's get on the phone with Pam from Richmond Virginia and welcome here. Great to talk to you your my dog right with me every evening along think I'm I wanted to talk a little bit about it now, gentlemen, or me. I lost my mom might think no longer she's no longer in pain though looking to break them. So what I where can I book comfort. I pray I pray all the time. There and I know she's happy where she wanted me no longer suffering there longer in pain but I get at which you Christian yet you know it is wish that was consistent with hold your hand and they'll shed tears with you because it's real and it hurts and your suffering and and I wish you weren't that I understand have lost my parents and it's a whole that doesn't go away… A scar yet you got a lot yes a whole. You're exactly right and what we do well as Christians we can write down a list of positives on piece of paper through my refrigerator. We consume and then as we read them to be comforted. For those few seconds he walked away, and our heart is grieving and in pain again. This is the unfortunate reality of what it is we are where the things you know, my wife and I lost a son and he died in our birth defect and on and so it was a great loss, great suffering, right there were good things that came out of it. Not that hey listen right side is not so cavalier is that.

But the rent is that there were good things there and one of things that grew in my heart, which would not have been there was a in a very minuscule way, a greater appreciation for the suffering of God the father losing his son on the cross death, and I try to draw a comparison is always equal because I can understand the greatness of that this was God right but for some reason I people are different people, just different but for some strange reason, it comforted me and I have no idea why, but it just didn't it comfort me to know in other areas to that we lose people we suffer. God is with us in that he receives with I got please hold on to quickly run okay sorry about that. Hey folks, we have five call 877207276 will be right back Matt Flynn why call 77077 charismatic slave back here, you know. Wish I had so many comforting things to say but I accept to save hospitals. I appreciate something somewhere.

I know God don't like your my life like there anyway of my my desire and my wish and I understand that I might just hurt one of the things you can do through it. Believe it or not is praise him and depend on him.

These are choices you can make in your will, because it's easy to praise God when things are going great suffering as God is is is good thing and some I think a better thing we can depend on him and that we trust in him beyond our ability to understand, we know that he loves us. We know he'll never forsake us. As he was 13, five cents. We know that he is grieving with you. He knows because Christ himself. Most probably lost Joseph his father and lost relatives and had to grieve and write real life and real time, and these are things we can learn from and through and you know I remember Rick reading once this is this how I handle things that you have 100 units of of grieving hundred units of of suffering whatever might be some people take one units a week and they stretch it out other people try and work through hundred units as quickly as possible as the bench in your psyche, your person. Some people deal with it and deal with it, deal with the face.

It some people they have to just can't because this is just different. That's okay. Neither one is right or wrong, but we have to go through. We have to go through and it takes time and each time each one of those, so to speak, suffering units is being spent, then offered to God, the Lord, it hurts but I'm depend on you. Please comfort me and it and that's the greatest thing I can tell you just ask him to comfort you in it.

He's not sparing you fragment, but he's there with you and it and then describe this way your eyes we move towards him more and more and there's peace and comfort in my grave.

I have not done right. Probably I will sometimes though it's is hurt so much.

We discussed just hurt. We discussed her yet and that's okay. Thank you, thank you so much I appreciate your kind words and collect Lord bless you things to suffer loss. He's there when they learn through it, but wouldn't want to go through it again but I'm glad I got through it. That's right). I am blessed okay will you switch gears a little bit. Let's get to Bonnie from Greensboro, North Carolina, Waltham body. I got last night writing a program and we ran out of time, there we were talking about whether or not that hurt the faith of the wrath of God going to the tribulation. Yes, birth and pricked Apollonia that we are not appointed to wrath back without breaking I would say rapid wrath whether it rampant going to hell are you rapid core down the earth because an elective birth and revelation of the great-aunt rapid calm called animation that you're in Philadelphia this look at this. Okay okay so you say the word wrath means tribulations signature relation.

For Sicilies 59. We are not the church is not appointed to wrath what is Rapp coming tribulation is word wrath me in the context of your fangled salvation will it says that God is not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation so wrath is now juxtaposed with salvation according to the text. So what would you say is is is that what's what's it will not not a but be okay if you were hypothetically if you are, for example, go to Isaiah 45, 745 like you wanted to type it in wrong is why when did go right Microsoft owner God says this. I'm the one forming light and creating darkness noticed the opposite, causing well-being and creating calamity. These are just rock opposites were destined he's not destined us for wrath, but for salvation.

Okay, so what is wrath by the context where his law damnation as a previous versus but since we are this day. Let's be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation for God is not appointed us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse contextually can't be used to support the idea ablation rapture just doesn't fit well but what about what I learned today that their fill of our flight matter of entering only hard earned how you turned to God from idols preferred the living God into right back I'm having right from her dad even gave a quick, delivered us from the wrath calm explicit rest of you because you're not idolatrous anymore, for they themselves report what kind of reception you had with you and how you turned to God from idols.

They were not saved. Another saved the true living living up to God and wait to wait for his son from heaven, whom he raised the dead.

It is Jesus who rescues us from the wrath to come. It's about salvation is not saying he's risk.

This is about the fruit. The Thessalonians is about the tribulation 2000 years.

Severe tribulation. 2000 years in the future right okay out. Oh, sorry, salvation to go ahead. What's up with nothing and are not translated for the applied regular picture of the rapture and asked me about in our why is he not the picture of the rapture right for the flood, the Florida I like the tribulation the church is translated before the tribulation. Your flight Enoch was translated before the flood, so that's that means then that it's rapture is going to happen before the tribulation.

Because Enoch was taken up in heaven before the Mino]] picture and correct right okay so that's not very good.

Okay I revelation you have the church. I no longer mentioned after chapter 2 chapter 3 in the first part of chapter 4 John is told to come up here. There can merely live in the spirit that looks like an okay yeah okay so I the church is mentioned right so then after three so then, have you ever studied the 24 elders are in relation while at the top of yard 24 elders you recent commentaries you see that it is dealing with the issue. The church and when they say the church is mentioned when the word church is mentioned. And that's a problem because justification is not mentioned in the later epistles doesn't mean it's no longer there. 24 elders you could be very careful you don't it just is not mentioned and then there's another question is is revelation Tactic or is it linear with that means is, is it seven views of the same thing and there's strong evidence for that or is it linear, one thing happens after another character, the book of Revelation Holbrook now that you have had it. It's it's actually seven versions of the same thing compiled in the one book with me. There's a lot of evidence that Rome was in a time. Have you read the idea. You know, two minute if you want to take what is left right that's the right to hold to you read the context is not well read the tomb in the field when the thing was left so that's that's Israel taken because it's the wicked who were taken to take the place of destruction will that's all you do is go to Matthew 24 Luke 17 and read hundred percent of the time I'm shown people – negative. I know if you want it.

They understand it is the wicked who were taken because they even asked Jesus where they taken and he tells us what the body is the vultures are gathered at the end of Luke 717 you read Matthew 24 through 37 and Luke 1726 and go back and forth and read them and you'll see the ones you heard giving in marriage, etc. with the wicked, and they're the ones who destroyed there's want to take something this is it to be like it was a days of note. That's right, that they were derived. It was the wicked who were taken this how it's gonna be at the return of Christ the wicked argued to be taken with. Says that Jesus says relief may throw something even more irritating your way to survive a product like drinking Mary clearing it is the ones who are being taken to the wicked.

The context okay now here's something to think about you.

The parable of the wheat and the tears right with a tear leader. The okay and am afraid one day right and it is. Jesus is a level to go together until the harvest in the time of the harvest. Also, the reapers first gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles of the first was gathered at the time of the harvest of the wicked right 1330 so if there taken before the glitter taken then has a fit in the pretrip rapture. You if the wicked are taken first think about you all, there's more in room when a tiger the musicals are going a few seconds you will call back tomorrow. Think about that and endless talk tomorrow if you want okay okay all right body will kill godless folks there you go.

Matter time in the Lord bless you and hopefully that was interesting. I love discussing the issue itself any rate, Lord bless you advice Chris object back on tomorrow and I have a debate about an hour from now/calendar another program powered by the Truth Network
