The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network is a lot more you number 877-207-2276 was normal in 2276 spells CAR M on your screen or under Doyle because we carbon orders. The ministry I want to hear from you. Please give me a call and we can talk or do we wait and look aside right now. What are things happening.

I just want to give you a heads up that we stay on the air by your support.

If you are so inclined as to support us. We ask five dollars month is go to Karma.org CRM.org Honda/tonic that got a call today. This lady Peggy.

I remember Peggy call so she still want to donate in and give her the PO Box information. It's all there in the forward slope/donate, so Peggy was nice talking to you the praise God. What we to do was keep track of.

Not this is really little the names out, but how many donations we got. We want to do $1005 month no sounds like a lot, but that's not really wind you got missionaries all over the world. Your your supporting and things like that and looking to some so much tech support costs that have just skyrocketed and so you look in the back because hosting and other issues are paramount to keeping this minister running so looking at it so much it is.

Businesses would have it all right for us to be five open lines 877-207-2276 and I hope that's not going to be called so what you know I was. His body was canny.

Again, we just try something here. I don't know what's what's causing the audio to sound the way it is to move that adjustment) to see if anybody thinks that adjustment on the calm Rex is any good. You can let me know if that makes a difference or not, so that the people are saying is I can't.

I don't of us on the radio.

Also, it might just be through the Internet and we don't know what is happening or why that's what it is right now, so try to figure things out 9/oh alright, alright, alright.

If you have not been to Karma.org CRM.org. Please check it out to the Christian apologetics research ministry. For those of you that haven't been there. You're listening. You should check it out. It's so a site up and working on for over 26 years and from the early days of the Internet and I have this out this habit of writing directly and to the point.

One of the things that drive me crazy. Go to the web and you type in what is a Trinity you find some website and it goes into Trinity's history is believable in his floodlight and asked that at you with the tricks and what I do is I just don't the Trinity is rife the very beginning so you can get your answers quick and slick and if you want to continue reading for more information, you can if you don't, you don't have to and that's where the advantages of the Karma website.

We have all kinds of topics are covered, and we've really got into a great deal stuff. Great deal. We have stuff on the new apostolic Reformation.

We have stuff on positive confession we have stuff on atheism Mormonism Joe's witnesses, which assigns unity by Islam and all kinds of things that one is essential to his so "NAR teachers and NAR new apostolic Reformation will quote them on what they teach what they say very" that are problematic the net before rebuilding it again. But I'll tell you there's some stuff out there that are saying it is just bizarre is bizarre. Some of the things that they are saying. So what minerals do that we will read some of the stuff you guys think about what you may call all right and not a big deal, but the new apostolic Reformation is something that started in the 70s with her couple guys had some of his big vision and were God told two different men about the seven mountain issue.

The seven pillars of society and so what they were. What is the point is is that the Christmas will are supposed to take over these varying aspects of the seven mountains all right.

Well, the they affirm the idea of apostles and prophets for today and I've been researching that and they are on weak exegetical ground.

There are some serious problems I'll be collecting more information in writing some articles on this but it's is not good and so the things of their inner affirming is that without the apostles and prophets. The church presently has no foundation with her saying is that apostles and prophets are for today.

Now I know that there are a lot of people today who call themselves apostles, and they call themselves prophets. I am prophets someone so I'm apostles so-and-so. Whenever I hear that.

I cringe because I don't see any present justification in Scripture for the idea that someone can claim to be an apostle or prophet now, the apostles, the apostolic office was given to the 12 and there were different kind of apostles in the early church that the main apostolic weight fell upon the 12 disciples. The 12 apostles, and that office is obviously gone.

The word office download needs to send and so the sent one or sent by God, and I consider different kinds of apostles are there present apostles today. One of the qualifications enforcement is 91 of being apostle is having seen the risen Lord and I don't know of these these guys saying they've seen the risen Lord not need to come back up and corrected little bit because I have read in some instances in their writings where they have visions of Jesus and they'll say that you and I was talking to Jesus or Jesus told me in the up in front of a group of people saying you know in a vision that God gave me.

I went to the third heaven. I saw Jesus and analytically what he said and people to sit there like wow I went to the third heaven saw Jesus okay on the throne validity say I I don't put acquittances stuff like that because of the cavalier manner in which they delivered information guiding eyes with Jesus in the third heaven if I were to see my risen Lord. If you were to condescend having condescend to appear to me I would be a man undone, and if and when I was in a place right need to speak about it, I would still myself I would be hesitant to speak because it would be to represent the very presence of the Almighty and when we look at the Old Testament appearances of God. The people who were face-to-face with God were humbled and they did not want to be in his presence because it was so great. What we see in apostolic information is that you know people talk to Jesus having visions of Jesus and they just casually talk about it is what Jesus told I don't put any credence in because they don't have in my opinion, the stamp of authenticity, which is dealing with anyone having actually accessed the true living God, nor the things they often do is say that the miracles are for today because of her having apostles and prophets today than the sign gifts the extraordinary gifts raising people from the dead. Having Pro prophetic audit of utterances. Words of knowledge.

Whatever might be that these are offered a date now. Personally I believe in all the charismatic gifts.

But I don't believe the normative allele are still available as a whole to the body of Christ and upon the right circumstances God will move not to someone, some individual has the office of being a prophet, and therefore they can's beak, for God, believe that I believe people can prophesy. This is a first contents 14.

One. But seek spiritual spiritual gifts, but specially you may prophesy the process so I prefer that certain prefer that recently that's a good it's going to happen, but David Bible says seek. It's also a good guy want to give to be great if he doesn't is okay but what they do is it is they believe in the prophetic and the miraculous. All right I don't personally have a problem with that believe it's exegetical unsound is a lot of damage that can be done with something like that. But what they do is they will then start saying that with apostolic or prophetic offices with the Bible is the say it was her offices for today does not, but they will claim them for themselves and then they will pronounce doctrines in the Seder nestle three new doctors, but they very often are and that the miraculous will occur, and they say things that tickle years they will mention how God could be doing great things God can do wonderful things in your life. You do wonderful things in the church. In fact, the Christian church will be so victorious, so victorious that we can usher in the kingdom of God and people want to hear this and want to hear the message that I have to say that according to what Jesus said they try to get worse flee to the hills. Prepare yourself before he returns. Locating eight he asks, will he find the faith, will he find he asks that he talks about math 24 to return of himself about the problems that arise, and famines and persecution and coldness of heart. This is what I see Scripture teaching. I also see teaching for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanted to have their ears tickled Bill accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, they will turn away their ears from the truth will turn aside to myths. I think this applies to a lot of the new apostolic Reformation is not to say there is any good in their concern is actually read through some of the books written by some of the stuff the people and that's good that ministers to me, but I got gotta be honest but you see is Bible set a little leaven leavens the whole lump. When they start teaching these things that are good and then they throw in something about apostolic rule in the authority that the offices are still there and they direct the church. That's a problem Mormonism teaches is to present a prophet is with the Jehovah witness teaches is a present, a prophet, and so when we look at these things we see false religious system proclaim that they have a single head might be of the Catholicism of the Pope. They have their representative who then proclaims the things of God. This is a formula for error for heresy.

If the Scriptures themselves are not the final authority.

But you have prophets and apostles and if the problem I have not seen or read in any of my research in the new apostolic Reformation. I've not seen or read. Were any of the authors or thing I've heard if you watch videos I've not seen one of them say let's take this ideal revelation, whatever it might be as word of supposedly from God, and let's critically examine it to the final authority of Scripture have not seen that happen. I do see happen is the Scriptures support their position, and then they're not the same thing in contradiction to Scripture and the just believe the problem and they want to release the Holy Spirit to release what God can do, and this is a problem. They are the one I don't see much difference in this respect Roman Catholic Church with doing want like there's music we have five open lines of what you give a call 877207227 secondly) why call 77077 charismatic back to the show.

For some strange reason I have any colors right now. We got one person coming in, but it's a slow day that happen sometimes. Give me a call 877207227621 talk with something else hundred this caller. Let's get on here with Laura from Utah Laura will hear all working well you know we did talk about that. I did mention people: who do work with config and tell us they want to do that and call-in is a this is the dislike of because I know if you want to go ahead Mike, we need to call you closer to get closer the my okay better little bit better on my live and work in Ď and maybe for a couple years now. I began yellow and to seal is seen at the third and my date. Now everybody all that browser search engine can find our article wonderfully well, well, good use tools in order to do that so that's good family and things like that and like you, you work on its name and that it really felt like I left our ministry and end through blessing for me. I'm just thankful I now very much spiritual attack and now everybody need to be aware that there is victory and cry you 91 so I know you as you enjoy doing stuff and you and Charlie were together, and you will help out in the SCO the search engine optimization stuff and also in the social media area do a lot taller. I like my life are you not doing who said that so your predecessor and she she she lived for car and basically and the Diane she scribbled she passed away most of the Lord you raised you up to help out to so big deal, but the that we get to meet in Salt Lake and have the event a couple times now heavily yet it was you where you are. I that's right people afraid of the beads you feel that your scary lady say let's meet your scary. I would be open on the night sky that you write your that's good you really are. I think it why social media during a life self actually inherent taller than you would think really that's not something I would've thought you said so you skinnier and taller as the camera adds a few pounds of what you don't like you look like. Anyway, let me ask you this is my humor come through when we met stuff you know this people know I have a lot of fun.

Usually other people's expense, but that's okay you you know Reglan bothering me this that's really good. Glad you're still there.

That's good stuff you do you like good work. We appreciate it.

We really do. So I am at work and carry out their now impolite, I'm not or not allow me measure developing a list of things we need.

But they're kinda satirically some people some specific abilities or willing to learn a few things.

Like for example 1 of things as how to work AdSense from Google and then manage it because could take a lot of work.

If we implement to do that. So for the things you want to do for the website, but there's a lot of stuff and I'm editing a book and plan write another one and then writing articles doing research on the NAR do impromptu debates doing outline some petition tonight on on the Trinity and I'm adding 345 pages to the outline facility about 25 pages them the hand the group tonight and say here's the final product hears everything in the gut concepts and ideas in Scriptures and categories and everything listed out take a lot of work. No complaints. Just like you and Soma was busy, always working in a lab you want to do next with him and tell him is I want them to Winick review it next week so him and have them all this information say review it to then come next week alluded to talk about the Trinity. What you learned and I want people to articulate with the clerk because I gave him awful lot of information not definite wanted to remember every detail but there are some pretty sophisticated concepts that came along with the doctor didn't want to go through some of these things to see what people think and then what outline do something similar with the person of Jesus. So I started working on a picnic out a paragraph on the person of Jesus is like a did a paragraph on the Trinity and it was 500 words good and I would go to the final fifth segment of that but don't do something the Trinity as well means community to price with hypostatic union and committee cut you if you mock him in the heirs of you ticking is him and modifies autism and I go to the die syllogism and representation federal headship imputation of penal substitutionary atonement all kinds of stuff good things in the eternal covenant nature of which is part that is all all kinds of stuff to talk about respect Christ.

Why tolerate. I get. I probably need a all right Laura six a lot. God bless. Okay. All right to schedule another person who works with Carmen Joanne from North Carolina, Joanne welcome you on the air… Calm and talk about okay because I know that you're the one who runs the prayer team on car so tell us about our first about her weight, body understands that there is a privilege and honor to pray with and I won't I don't need to worry about anything not show or email account go out there at Goodhart for all the brick on my wife, Connie. People have requested the prayer on that we rarely have prayer warrior home right now including just the right thing after court. Prayer.com.all work on my day holiday break break and I hold on and we have actually online as well.

Pretty soon get back hung up on joints are hung up callbacks for folks to be right back after these messages, please state why call 77077 back to the show barley our accidentally go do it very often, but I actually think about what role it, that's okay. So you were talking about the prayer chain and your people friendly people you are there on the perking out on I got an email recently from a man in another country entry out in Place prior battle after he growled question from Carmen. People are fed in our life by catcher Kathy alike need to take time and pray, and not five not get back with it.

Not that anybody had invited and I think. Let me know and I think the bedding cosplayer after they prayed Right on long-term before tightening and there and you will win your bargaining position.

They come is true, but it's worth it to people survive in armor my computer fry one way were gifted with a new one and more blasting than attacking. There's not prayer request for small to large want to cry for our Lord by week when a car that when I talk about the Lord to Baker to smile for our Lord day and we will begin to have it when you down five every body any anybody lady at Lake pray about it in the Army prayer@darkprayer.com.org out and get the bed in question on them not, of course, Lake not mine.

As they found that after prayer and discernment. I'm sure a lot of people have volunteering or praying to administer the body of Christ until people come to Christ and to select and so you're perfect for that. It works out nicely so try another job that I got fired, well it is. Some people are gifted in some areas and not in others, and that's all right, well in the prayer thing that's right pretty good while. Got an apple write down the prayer with quick software happened about hardware, third right will go only power that I don't know what you find where the cake one of the teachers that with kale heating per-path provided by from hard on that front for children and feel cannot hurt therebetween.

Thank you Anna Lapin five that we really need to write about five not right for midweek height 24 seven.

They will not get it out for each night, prayed in this country is for revival to come through. As these tragedies occur they want to convey our rights.

No one ever looks at the issue of the heart.

50 years ago people have guns and more guns than now in the works of the school shootings. What's changed is not the guns. It's the people and they ignore all clear from Bob Ronald attract people to want to use it and then they say that the leftists say, well, we take away the weapons well it just so happens that as more killings with hammers and organs and more people are saved by guns then are killed by from the now, this goal will follow the law, not all who are evil.

One a weapon that won't die from gun map will not encounter good mapping arrived at on Lake out on you.

My granddaughter children that were keeled and I just praise God, go to bed and find that some fights but typifying optical Angel out anything that they aren't adding a little precious children who have lost their lab was set pray for those people and pray for the surviving victims and the families of the victims. It's a cool now you there their whole lot from Iran that God only God can greatly only God can get God can get very dry there way out. Pray and thank you for letting me be a part of car I'm thankful Lord even me little way that had the glory get on and I wouldn't call it a little way, but I get so praise God that they should be a part of Carmen you are my (eight specs all right now let's jump over to Charlie from Washington hey Charlie, luckily on the air. I'm glad to call in during the show, but I'm even more glad that Laura and Joanne called before me because those two ladies out tell you what if I get the privilege of dragging their shoes and have an opt out, I'll be happy Laura helps me when you don't art available to help me with the technical stuff and if I ever need spiritual refreshment adjuster conversation with Joanne will do it every time she just recharges my batteries for me so glad they called ahead of me because they are doing some important work that is ever really we don't we don't promote our you openly talk about it but I'll tell you their vital and their blessing and so proud to have them assisted in the face so yeah you and I like well I watch over their characters that are out of place in our chat during the live streams characters that are less than polite, you might say in either need timeouts or need to be fan but mostly I'm happy to say those are few and far in between, and so my work there is is not to pressure pressure, but I do like putting topical links when people call in and have a topic I've got a pretty good hand at the thousands and Thousands of topics you've written on affected out a couple of cheat sheet shares with Laura to let popular topics work. There is an article title and an link that could be pops writing when they're talking about it while you're still on the phone with them and hopefully people in the chat will see it or if somebody is watching the podcast and she's going to the live chat stream and if I have a chance only reflection on the screen, they can stop and pause the podcast and write down the link and they can go off on their own and open your Bible and study that topic for themselves so it's the service I try to offer during the stream and that I like to be challenged if the people call in more with more questions I'll tell you what.

There's 100 people that never seek to call radio station to answer to ask a question, but they'll listen sure are no I'm not what you like calling it just I like to hang around with you after the shows over in socializing the stream yard will you and you invite people to carbon and you're not under radio broadcast time pressure relax a little bit Victor drive a PeopleSoft that's enjoyable to play. I I'm realize you're the one who got beat apologetics that you review the call from Joseph Smith reposted he did more than Jesus to keep the church was 42 years ago and we've been friends ever since. And while that's something long time. Well time I'll put out post a link to the very thing I said started. You go ahead and every good hold on little bit more by already a photo for the logical to give me a call 877-207-2276.

Everyone thought that I call 77077 back carrier on your online doctrine of election recently and learning more about it, wondering if everything is if the name the elect are written in the book of life, the earth is ever created. What role does our praying father, God ordains the meetings got ordains the means as well as the end, so he wants us to pray for lots of reasons. One, it's a glory glory to him to. It helps us changes some three it's one of the means by which he has proclaimed that he works his will and it's almost like saying he ordains our prayer to influence him from the foundation of the world that there are some toffees there that last statement again is like is like saying that God has ordained from the foundation of the world in her purse influence him because of Bible, the prayers of a righteous man accomplish much. That means it accomplish much. With God but here's the question how can accomplish with God anything if it's already set, so to speak from eternity that the question would don't answer we just know that there is an interaction and when we are in Christ and our prayers are filtered through Christ to the father and because of that, there, so to speak, purified in the art to the mediator ship of Christ so we don't know if, for example, Christ is when mediating our prayers and then asking the father more for what he desires to be accomplished because of her prayers.

It's is pretty enigmatic, but these are some of the issues you know we can talk about and wonder and we can also say well we just don't know all the answers. We just know that the more we pray more things are affected. The more we pray, the more people get saved we preach the gospel and yet at the same time. All of that is ordained by God. After the counsel of his eternal will. Ephesians 111 soldiers of a paradoxical mystery how it works. And he doesn't tell us that's okay I'm coming there accelerating no I'm disturbed at how your churches will hatch the doctrine of election and predestination. It churches are afraid to tell people the truth. I don't know if that is how it appeared you it is because one of the dangers of teaching the stuff is to upset the congregation who has a humanistic mindset and that they wanted to pray often things that are to be too difficult sometimes a passage really don't believe election predestination to their fault.

The Bible definitely teaches that they need to believe and teach it.

That is what it says and I think that debating but on these topics, but the thing is that a lot of times congregation is is it can cause problems because by bringing the issue up. You have a whole bunch of other questions or to deal with and no disrespect meant to the wonderful men who are pastors and elders. A lot of times are just not very trained and learned in the specifics to be able to answer lifeless questions not knocking them because they have jobs, they have families with people like me to do this full-time to different thing and so I can see why they kind of shy away from some of these things because it can cause problems within the question of the company want to shy away from something because it might cause a problem with accommodation and answers will no not as biblically sound taught the job the pastor and elder is to teach the truth and refute error in the Bible clearly teaches God elects and chooses what is your buddy get around and I know and for those of us who are aware of the earth. The were treated like outlaws than black sheep in the church for believing them. You ridiculous will trust me and then I scratch my thanks yeah like when you're in the minority, believing something, you start to question what am I wrong to believe that were not well stated.

No, you know me. We met before human radio stuff like that you know that that when I encounter people who don't agree.

I don't to say other idiots are there stupid. I listen with an essay, but because I know a lot of scriptures and issues related to these things. My job then becomes my desires and becomes to educate them and equip them in biblical theology and there are some people who are doing a lot of a lot of ways we need to. The difference pastors teach the stuff in these be done because it's biblical and to move away from it is to adopt a humanist that when you're here when you hear the phrase in it like it here.

Pastor Thao I'm not going to water it down. What they mean when they say that is is this one of the topic that will not apply to this topic.

Yes, there are lots of pastors will water down predestination and they'll say things like, God looks into the future and he knows who's gonna pick him so he decides to be to show favor to them based on what he knows that's watering down the truth right and it becomes a miss representation of the truth is one of the ways or the M and R is in the with a water sign on we have in your life delay go-ahead go-ahead. I think our plan trying a different church, which happens to be right across from where we now live in the Reformed Church in some of my God had the red blinking light in alter ego here now working to get a shot churches in it.

He later called faith community Bible Church on youth. It's near you thicken 5 mile in their reform.

I think soon as I know, just talked about it and coincidentally on the phone a few days ago I was someone when talked to in a while and they said that's what they were going to be that that's where was she thought about that your child so maybe you check it out sometime to the reformed and so they had to say and do and maybe there there think the one after got a huge gathering will really like that you thought maybe you have anybody who would have me as it is a pastor's got problems, particularly since you know my messiness. Look, you can't trust me because I'm problems are the yeah you know it it's I would love to build preach someplace locally. I miss preaching. I love to build a guess preach occasionally here and there. It's a real pleasure. But I will get to preach very often anymore.

It's okay, just in time for things which left church a good church of the good things about it. Check out I think applicable but thank you.

Thanks a lot Terry appreciated okay. We have no open calls. The colors waiting and it reminds me because of thing about talking about something coincidentally will be teaching advanced study on the on the Trinity tonight handing out a huge file and specifically add to the existing file on the video, the Internet, depending on what you get done today I think of working under the brakes multitask, whether you want to bring up it's on my mind is I was listening.

Today I went to the gym and worked out trying to work out, keep myself in shape and I put my headset on and I just work out and listen. And I said I'm going to Christian chat rooms in different venues listen and there's some people that I'm aware of were very good apologists, and they know how to ask the right questions. They know how to present truths to people and yet at the same time, I was appalled by the behavior you just want to talk about because of what the Bible says is this Colossians 4 verses five and six apply to all of us who witness who deal with people who are unbelievers. This would assess conduct yourself with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace is no seasoned with salt, so that you may know, how should you should respond to each person and then another verse that things were a bit important is significant to 25 to 24, 25, 26, it says it's negativity. 224 2526 is of the Lord's bondservant must not be quarrelsome would be kind to all, able to teach patient when wrong with gentleness correcting those were in opposition of perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth and they may come to their senses and escape from the snarl.

The double having been held captive by him to do his will and reason bring this up is because in my circles I encounter a lot of brilliant individuals who know far more than I are more intelligent, they are far more articulate, and I learn from others. I don't have all the answers and I always need to be grounded and to be shaped so grateful for the Lord's work and so many others. However, too many of them encountering lately from the Christian perspective are simply mean and rude and condemning and we as Christians supposed to represent the Lord Jesus Christ was patient and who was kind was long-suffering and when I have my debates in the screams with atheists. For example, I ask a question if not exactly entering the way I think it should be entered.

I just wait, see what they say to write down what they say and I tackle what they say is really and I don't think you really answered that the issue is raising. We go through that again. I try to be as polite as possible and it doesn't raise an ire from so that they are then resistant to the truth.

Sometimes I wonder that we really try to win friends or for the Lord Jesus Christ. Winner is going to do that or just want to win an argument anyway it's it's been undermined today after her hearing what I think is the abysmal behavior and conduct of Christiansen's rooms and if you're a Christian and you don't dialogue with unbelievers. Remember to be patient quarrelsome if you blow it that we all blow it. I get with the goal is to not be quarrelsome but to be kind and to be able to teach patient when wrong.

It was a little wrongs you just be patient with gentleness were to correct those were in opposition. Gentleness means to take time to show love and grace. This will recall the do as Christians to the unbelievers and notice what it says in second Timothy 225 if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading the knowledge of the truth. This is what's interesting is that the admonition here. The Lord's bondservant must not be quarrelsome, but the kind to all, able to teach patient when wrong with gentleness correcting those in opposition if perhaps God may grant them repentance.

There's a connection between our behavior should not associate the cleaning our own house for we were there you go folks by God's grace of that go there tomorrow he will talk to you.

I hope you have a great evening. Another program powered by the Truth Network
