Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network. Why is knowledge is a lot more you why Grimes is called responding to your questions at 77072 day annual weekend if you want to give me a call is dial 877-207-2276.what so we have nobody waiting right now what you give me a call and we can blow.

We can talk.

You let me know if you watch it on the edge. I had some good conversations over the weekend I was discussing theology with some atheists and stuff and this morning I was in another venue talking about all about was an atheist and the more I talk with atheists.

The more I realize seriously. The lack of substance.

The lack of depth of their thinking and their belief system is a belief and to tell you not to lack a belief that the call that we could talk about that but so rumble seven trouble going to rumble Hall.

Okay that out later.

So I had an encounter with one today to do is give you the information that I gave and think about this. This is example city could follow this. It's not very difficult.

Slowly and I went through this with this guy, like three or four times and he just couldn't get it and you said something about this because LaPlante splints the same thing and you'll see it was a ridiculous comment on his own. What I asked of you know, here's a question you could ask people what happens to you when you die and so when I ask this of atheists. If they say that when you die, you cease to exist. And that's problematic. It's ultimately a self refuting belief system will show you why because if they say that when you die, you cease to exist, they are saying that the mind went on the mind dies when the physical brain ties. This means that the mind is dependent on the physical brain so not a big deal if you follow if a person ceases to exist.

That means his consciousness ceases to exist when the body ties. That means that the mind is depend upon the physical brain well done. If the physical brain produces the mind and the mind is dependent upon the physical brain and the mind must operate within the limits of the physical brain through some of the physical brain intern must operate on the limits of the laws of physics and chemistry. I'm talking the sky and he's going through suspicious.

I say well that's what the physical brain must want to operate the physical brain cannot operate outside the laws of physics and chemistry and so it's limited and must operate only within those laws, and because it can only operate within those laws, the mind also must operate within those limited loss that's the case what it means is that the mind itself is simply the product of chemical reactions, but if the mind is a product of chemical reactions and how could he know that the chemical reactions are producing truth simple. If the mind is a product of the brain and the brain is restricted to the laws of chemistry that means the mind is restricted to the laws of chemistry. But if the mind is restricted to the laws of chemistry. How can it produce truth simple also. So what I asked this guy, this he wasn't sure what to do and he said will plants have minds and when you hear stuff like this. At that point you this is likely stare. You know what why do what how do you continue having a conversation with people like that. I find it to be quite difficult to have a conversation with someone who can think critically.

Now when I talk about that. I reminded of something that happened in my high school days. I graduated in 1975 and I remember before graduation, being frustrated is a little unusual. I guess being frustrated that I wasn't learning anything in school, I remember I remember in high school.

The not wanting to do homework or not you want to do all that stuff.

But I also remember the frustration I had had not been taught anything.

Now the only places I really learned anything was so physics and math classes and so I really learned a lot there to do physics and mathematics and little bit of biology so those work hard sciences that I learned. But aside from that, not we were being taught much with it being taught how to regurgitate information for test and I remember that the teachers are just really were presenting much thinking. Why is that we have a great opportunity here is going to high school to learn and yet we weren't really being taught much of anything, and I was frustrated and so I believe that there has been dumbing down of the American mind, the only one who has said that the only one who stated I met a lot of people who said the same thing I see it on a regular basis within the Christian church and outside the crystal. You know, one of the things I'll do so. I'll talk to people and also have two roads with Dr. atheists to row to the Christian Road and the atheist road and were going down parallel down this road of knowledge and I said to the ACS was going to happen is he's gonna be forced to stop at a certain place because can't go any further because he doesn't have the necessary foundations that can justify his thoughts and his reasoning with the Christian can walk further down that road because we have the ultimate justification we can go down the road infinitely asked God's knowledge. The defectives were able to do that because we do have the foundation of God's truth and the Trinity is bring the necessary preconditions for all intelligibility here because you never know.

Maybe teach some stuff to guys that you may never heard before.

Fact is nobody calling. Maybe I will discuss on and feeling like a little gloomy Marissa, but I've said this before show you that Christianity is far deeper and far better than any and I mean any other worldview that I may not confidently any other worldview. Only the Christian Trinitarian position can provide the necessary preconditions for intelligibility and morality and truth and all other systems and all other theological systems to simply fail. I believe that so hopefully going on coming up. So what do you go through that little bit and try to explain some things.

I think it might be useful to a lot of people to hear how this works because a lot of people. However, are not familiar with the idea of them to get into.

There are some's semi-sophisticated arguments, trying to keep it simple is I do believe that as Christians we need to understand that God is the one who is the foundation for all truth. God is the one who is that foundation collar coming in. I think we could've the caller because we don't talk about me take about five minutes but we don't have that much time for the break. So if you do want to call 877-207-2276 give a call and we can plan what you want. Nevertheless, this try this, let's get to Nelson from Bakersfield walking on air Nelson Huron, a quick question and met you Bert.

Bert Levin through port three that determine when the king came to look at the dinner. Guess you saw Manor was not dressed and what encloses it in front of you, what clothes and was speechless the serpent by dependent for throne and utter darkness will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few are chosen. Okay, that will correct it long enough for going up available wedding garment that a person yes you, Revelation 35 he who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name for the book of life closing from clothes in the righteousness of God and so it would to be found naked is to be not be covered by gift God has divided okay.

I will herbal word about Helen one elevator the earth to the and my friend felt that the lever. The computer and the vehicle of being perfect without being purified for the thousand years because these are Christians being purified while that's 3000 that that's actually heresy is the Republic. Why would God send. It would be perfect if both of you write and because you went purified because of the blood of Jesus Christ because of our own suffering. So that's a heresy he's teaching a corrected that. Also enough to be irrelevant through three were correct about the silver golden like about five or something for them than a fickle thing but to go to the fire but that the that yeah it's like a Catholics say that the heater was very mobile. Like I get what purgatory yet. He's got some problems and be corrected. Find out where is getting this information from these ideas from the defeat of the source will result in a long break but if you take off RMM say folks, five of the lines going to call 772-0727 mass Y call 77077 charismatic slave. 77207276 right now. I was talking about the Trinity is in Christianity's necessary. I miss writing this for so long and so the different ways that I have utmost confidence to build a say that the Christian worldview can account for everything and no other worldview can just that simple know there are other theological system you have this long. For example, but is not Trinitarian, it's ultimately self refuting my debate with the well-known Islamic apologist should be really a ransom stuff by him, and he admitted during the debate.

He didn't have answers to some of the difficult questions I proposed because his worldview one person. God didn't make any sense. Ultimately, so here's a question on asking him to tie this together is everything of one substance or multiple substances to simple question that question right there is incredible people been wondering what's the ultimate stuff of the universe.

Is it one thing more than one thing is it water is it light is number is mind's electrons. What is it what's the ultimate substance about the universe, and people of talking this ticket number two.

For example number two is what we call a universal. It's a concept universal. That's a concept seek to is not something that you find under a rock. We can take a picture and it doesn't have physical properties that we can Apple size and mass and weight shape but that's not the case with the number two yet we don't, we can survive without number two I need we got account account at your checkbook can how much money we spent number two was necessary, and all we would build a function without so what is it about the universe, where, for example, the number two exists for the concept of literature leisure real questions that philosophers and people who think logically about things and think they wonder what is what must be in place in order for the number two to exist work just our thinking mutually what must be in place in order for whatever it is to exist.

So when they talk about this kind of stuff we ask questions.

One of the things that has surfaced is the issue of particulars and universals. Now the number two was a universal, but you could write with a pencil) or Chuck you could write on a piece of paper, sidewalk, whatever the number two and I could do the same thing and so what we are doing is representing universal concept with a simple but that is to say that number two on a piece of paper you wrote it with her pencil is that the number two answers will know it's not. It's a representation of number two as if it were the actual number two if you erase that number to all of the number two everywhere is gone because that would be what to is now. It's a symbol of the representation of a universal universal symbol universal thing. Alright so number two number three number four number five. These are universals they have universal quality to them, but they were exist on paper in existence under rocks that exist under my that's really interesting, but are they depend upon our minds. See because if the number two is dependent upon your mind and you guy then does the number to disappear because it was depend on your mind will obviously not. So when people die.

Number two does not disappear but others are able to use the number two universal it's weird number to another.

Mathematical values are universals this this universal principle applies to all kinds of things objects and categories and I will get all that the list of number two is releasing so if I would write number two on a piece of paper and you were to write number two at a person on a piece of paper is a question what unites them. What brings unity to my writing the number two when you what unifies them is a dialect language is our speech. All this work because you can say never to dose in a spaniel local save number two in Spanish and thus disassemble to is is some sort of an actuality. Well, that's interesting what unifies them. It has to be a unifying principle something behind them has to be there in order for them to have a universal quality.

This is working to get interesting. What must be in place in order for the number two to have a universal value universal truth universal existence of universal actuality that we can come in contact with and talk about what must be the case with number two is concept within it must be a concept behind in the universe that there number two is universal, so therefore the concept of two is a universal mind concept what must be in place for that you have universal mind, please see the universal mind is God makes perfect sense by here's a question will get this. The number two is a concept universal, with particular manifestations between the particulars. So how are the particulars brought in unity with one another because he can't do that.

There's no congruence between them.

No relationship between are the particulars unrelated. Well, of course, are not unrelated to related how the related by universal something behind them and we can look at the universal, but now we have to ask the question, is the universal that is the ultimate source of everything.

Well, we would say one cents. Yes, but if were to say that the universal number two was there.

How do we say that it connects with the particular manifestations so that were all in touch with that universal. That's a question what must be in place in order for that to occur, enter the Trinity. The Trinity is one and Manny one God three persons. The one in the many has to deal with the universal and the particulars. One idea of chair can have millions of manifestations or particular manifestations. What is the ultimate the chair of the quality of chair or the particulars all over the place. If it's the chair is how you relate and vice versa. Only the best condition that accounts for the particulars and universals that the very essence of God himself provides for what you call 877207 mass Y call 77077 charismatic slave back to the show if you wanted me to call you for guidelines 874 doing all right hanging in there man when he got your all equipment. Talk about it or the interest of no more your outward lives.

Yet all of you and you are giving the R was without a woman was bullied and what about United is the FISA Goddard upon the waters you when God started and I started to shake them by yourself, you know the water and by water. The solid aspect you like what Colossians is matters in Colossians 173 is talking about crisis is and he is before all blank and you know all playing students lives and then it goes on the site reimburse micro answers for employees. The father and should all boil. Maybe God is the one it might resolve. The structure had the molecules going. United without God there will be no boundary line will be going back and locally.

I agree and mean talks about the holes altogether studying quantum physics recently has written for about an hour in bed last night and it's really interesting to quantum physics is teaching their different views on it, but one of the things that they're saying is that the Copenhagen interpretation, which is kind of falling out of favor, but there's some other will get all the details of the others, but the idea is fixing this quantum physics. What it does is it looks at super small particles and they don't behave the same way think you think they were. It was called a macro environment. The environment we live, and they find all kinds of difficulties to explain and understand. But they have formulas that predict everything within reason and I was I read last night at 1/3 of our economy depends on the understanding of or the formulas inside of quantum physics of super positioning of varying relationships, it gets really complicated, interesting, okay.

So what they're talking about is that everything is a probability and so that there are a number particles that can be projected by an electron gun onto a surface and you all have a probability of arrival mathematical probability could be here could be there and there's a formula as mathematics and probability. But when you enter this work is interesting when you enter into that phenomenon and observe it, then the probability becomes actualized. What's freaky is that observation and I was reading last night.

Some say even the requirement of consciousness is necessary in order to cause or to bring to affect possibility into actuality when they do this experiment and so everything is a probability of existence like all all electron locations and yet when you observe them. They have an actuality. But you they don't have any actuality until they are observed. So some are looking into this. I just got a book (read on it where it's the solution that some of our proposing is a universal mind that brings an actuality from an infinite number of probabilities is a God.

It's really straight and also this abuse called on a siding skull super positioning and is where no ischemic quantum entanglement. You can take that they have a way of taking particles and entangling them so there United they separate them and what you do. The one particle instantaneously occurs to the other faster than the speed of light some experimental knowingness up to 10,000 times faster but they can't tell because the that the equipment isn't that isn't sensitive enough so they think it might just want let that's the case then the implication one of the theories is that the whole universe is one thing that's interconnected with an infinite number of possibilities.

And yet, through the observer. The probability that already the possibilities. Probabilities become actualized, and so we have an instantaneous movement in effect from one to another, because everything is of one things we do the one thing occurs.

Another very interesting you get one, close studies, wave your body are largely gradually. And then I got out of the body experience.

And a lot of report on yes very diverse look at your volleyball is really there that you going to get you through that point, you know necessary guidance. You not only lay down with the start of the body but also chucking the all of those not born again United is not your topic differently is, but some what you brought up was Colossians 117 certainly is cooperated with signs and also he holds all things together. The nuc med man, Adam has was called a neutron and proton, and when there are multiple cases of protons inside of a nucleus. They are like charges they repel each other but they don't they're glued together and so I understand they've not answered. They've invented was called the gluon is a particle that is hypothetical particle but doesn't have any mass that exists and holds together certain things like corks insider so you're trying to figure this out, but the Bible says God holds all things good about the power of his word simple, overanalyze by your drought, you avoid the courage yet and I found out that you went all out like the late you know when Christ you about the bagels volume resurrected in his body. United and by directly. I can audit people out with people writing a blog one that I saw the walking through the streets of United a lot about talk about that but that we have met the reality and discredit if he has documentation that I need to see that love to have their euros opt out of the yacht studying where I found my… It is also inaccurate.

Israel is interested by one of the vines that is one of archaeology is likely to cover that it was actually wrong and I were going about my wall at Stonewall United that I was riding in. Forgive my credibility to what you know when will you archaeology the documentation I would love to have that if you can somehow back on yet.

I'll probably go back him up so you start a lot on that. Okay. You could then email it to me at info@carn.org to be very very useful. You're Ali and Holly are caliber that think you will you and I got with you too. God bless alright so folks can tell I said a lot of esoteric stuff and the reason I do it because I deal so much and apologetics with a lot of atheists with a lot of people who are in science make certain claims like to go study to do this for long time and I'm discovering that the more and more I study these more esoteric things, the more Christianity is validated. I just love that the Scriptures are full of wisdom and truth that I believe that there are things in their thoughts.

We may not even recognize unless we have a broader education scope. For example, it says in Colossians 117 is before all things and in him all things hold together.

I think that's very, very interesting and what it degree cortisone. This to me and it needs to set in place to stand me to cause to stand, to cause to be there and so he that's the word Jesus who is the word I think about this God said, let there be light. It was speech, and light was there and he formed the heavens and the earth because that is really I think interesting and so by doing this he's speaking in the energy is there reflection of his character is organized and God is the one that we have five open lines wide open what you give me a call 877207 mass Y call 77077 charismatic slave back to the show we have.

It's about 50 minutes left. If you argument call over to do is dial 87720776 is when a playoff of five previous call about the issue of Colossians 117 work. Christ himself holds things together by the exertion of his will now kill two birds with one stone to read something and I want them to get to another verse that talks about something related to this.

This is first to go to first Thessalonians 416 which says that for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain in the club together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air so will always be with the Lord.

That's the rapture. Okay. And so it goes on.

It says therefore comfort one another with these words noise to the times and the average brethren. You've no need of anything to be written to you for you yourselves know full well the day the Lord will come to look for the night. The rapture is a day of the Lord to come like a thief in the night.

Right now we go to second Peter 310 but the day the Lord will come at a thief dock with the same thing in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements to be destroyed with intense heat and the earth and its work to be burned up two things here. One well if you preach ablation rapture is a problem because of the new heavens and the worst happened after the thousand year reign but yet this says they happened at the time of the rapture at the end is evicted a point, but that's not the main point want to get to the heavens will pass away with a roar that suggesting a roar sound and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat. Now I'm reading God's that there are people who are scientists who have written articles website as it does work when energy or when matter is destroyed and releases an incredible amount of energy and incredible amount of heat what would happen here. I think something because I was reading Swinney at Adams health in the nucleus and electrons around nonrandom the further way. The electron is from the for the nucleus. The more energy it has been is traveling faster so so energy was mass times velocity is traveling at a certain speed has certain massive hazard of mathematical energy value now when the electrons are forced into another shell lower shell closer to the item they release energy and this is where light comes from its mother stuff anyway so if the atoms are let loose the circular energy disappears were sickening goats disappear the movement and circular form orbit around the nucleus stops what happens in a energy nonlisted all the stuff but I've read before they say at this point when the item is destroyed, the amount of energy that is releases just incredible was really interesting is that if you think baseball may not a football stadium football stadium and on the outside of the stadium picture is circular stadium 500,000 seats public and stuff on the very edge of it is an electron which is the size of pinprick on a little speck of something and in the middle is the nucleus and imagine the nucleus been the size of a grain of rice. That's what the atom looks like it that's own space.

Something 99.9%. Space is ridiculous and there's an incredible amount of energy there so it would if these elements are destroyed within the intense heat is released. That's what I'm thinking of here in the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements we destroy the intense heat and the earth and its work to be burned up. It looks like God's going to remake everything destroy its and then put it all back together and will be fixed at all the stuff that's in it, that's a bad at all of that will be gone and remade God's going to do it. I look forward day as he can do that with creation could he do that with our bodies as well and create new bodies for us and give us abilities that we didn't know that were going to have all I think so. I'm encouraged that I like that just me all right fertilize what you give me a call 877-207-2276 rental West Virginia neuron here live my following for a while, you may have a wet outmoded. You put in there wondering about you. How it was time to quit. I call, man, and I walked up the IDs don't quit, you help the Beaumont bill are, and specifically, I wanted to tell you thank you the mosque on the day who I hadn't talked to wants to lock the year and 1/2 and I called Damian January January 4 and I call the you and Charlie right with me on the air and four months later. Last month they'd had a medical problem MD call the almost bad and ate it with me now, and he walked in your show with me.

Everything day and I thank God for them.

I want to thank you thank you for his God, so he's arrived, there was a hell does he probably 40 years old okay yeah I read my Bible and that I'll thank you you the going good now, but I really felt back where were you all prayed with me. O'Mara fell flat and God answered his God is doing well and I trust you're doing well also.

Yeah, I'm hanging in there good, but ultimately part about all that we lift you every day we like your thinking.

Even if there's no call work we love the little thing and that I will go ahead and let one to call a been wanting. Thank God for long time. Thank God. Thank you so thanks Dick for calling okay N of West Virginia that his son is doing better and I praise God for that's you know God is good you to study his word and keep our hearts and minds on him and the guy was just texting during the break, you know, lately the caller is an up-and-coming and I've been wondering about that in the mood bring it up because he brought it up. Is it because of the summer. Looks pretty bad.

Is it because of the things of been saying lately, talking about some serious issues and logical don't like the idea of missing the Democrats are the credit parties evil because it is maybe it won't hear me because of that, that's okay.

I must speak the truth and I will speak the truth all say things like the, the stupidity of certain political figures, the necessity of Christians to learn more, do more be stronger. These are not easy words so this one thing thinking with everything is, perhaps, just perhaps it is because so few good things. That is because of the Lord is close the door I been on radio now for us over 17 1/2 years, and I'll tell you it's so it's a lot of it is a privilege. It's a real privilege to be able to speak and teach people. Some of the things I learned so you know big deal and the that wasn't planning on that becoming something to talk about of the year, but that's all right. So you give me a call. All you do is dial 877-207-2276. All right, we got a call coming in. We just jump right on and about the four minutes left on the earth. Let's get to Roy from Durham talk louder.

Hey Roy, Your Honor, buddy. I can hear you and I made it figuration and thing that a car garage for the boat way before you resurrect from the one that wasn't a resurrection is just an appearance. Just as in Smirnov or symbol 28. Where's Samuel appeared came back it was just a manifestation not a resurrection really resurrected and glorified bodies that's going to happen.

According to Scripture in the future and what's interesting is bringing up is that in that resurrection. It follows the rapture were in first Thessalonians 4 checker survivor 16 and what's interesting is that most people teach that the rapture occurs and then seven year tribulation and then a thousand years, and then the new heavens and new earth after the thousand years. But when Paul writes in first Thessalonians 4 and he says that resurrection occurs, the rapture occurs and he says now regarding the days in the ethics he's talking about that. He says the date of the Lord will come to see for the night. The three talk about is that rapture that whole event. The same phraseology is used by Peter second Peter 310, when he says that the Laurel, a thief, in which the heavens will be melted and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat away in a minute. That means then that the day of the Lord to come look at the is the same day as the rapture, which is the same day as the new heavens and new earth, and created so that cannot be a literal 1000 is can't also note, I don't think there is.

I believe that the thousand year reign on how is that I believe that the thousand year spoken of his fingertip. As Jesus said that Satan was bound while he was on earth.

Yes, she said that in Matthew 12 2232 and then in Revelation 20 people say will test thousand year. It does, but it says this I saw an angel coming down from heaven. I think that's literal. When Angel holding the key of the abyss will ask fingertip. There is no literal key. We have a key and a great chain.

No, it's not a literal chain in his hand. Will angels don't really have hands licking a manifest delete hold of the Dragon. That's figurative the serpent of old, I think that's literal.

Who is the devil and Satan that's literal and hunting for thousand years. So the question is, is it literal or figurative sensors, figurative usage right there in the context so when we look at that and other things particularly eldest stir the pot a little more in Matthew 13 when you have the parable of the wheat and the tares and he said she would chair up the tares and Jesus is no allow both to grow together until the harvest at the rapture and the time of the harvest. Also, the reapers first gather up the tear and the first ones gathered the wicked will, I believe are raining down over the final I'm liberating now with Christ. That's another topic of the Halloween railing with the stuff the all right hey Martin from Virginia. Please call me back tomorrow thought about that one know what you have the same issue of science, so the Lord bless you by his grace back on your tomorrow folks and hopefully another program powered by the Truth Network
