Some like that stop by around a few days before Peter's effort is let me know I can arrange my schedule on the drive down. It's only a few hours away.

I'll be staying with Bill McKeever and just let me know. Just contact us at info@carn.org infoinfo@karmic.art.org see ARM.org and if something else and remember that a cancer or what it is, so is this matter for now. Why don't we just get on the air with Rudolph from Raleigh, North Carolina Rudolph, welcome here.

There. Mom calling God I don't know if you Friday to give him a call. You and told you about the Medela state and you about and the Lanman on the reason why my question is should we agree, your group is written because I thought to be how we should read it for what it says in the rear. Johnson thought. There are different styles of writing in their and so is poetry. We understand to be poetry if it is office poetry poetry this history's history. This doctrine is doctrinally disconnecting understand the flow of what's going on in Tryon and read it in the context of the stylus going on sometime people take you poetry and say poetry is, therefore, doctrinal yes and no. Depending on which part of poetry because you can certainly have absolute truths inside poetry, as well, or songs like the Psalms are certainly trees. We can learn their handover not negating it that way out.

But there are a whole and hold about is pure fiction.

And so we want to understand that that's the context of fiction there's prophetic utterances. There are many styles of writing in the Bible we just Tryon understand them for what they say with their libido, character, and I called about that because people all number giving that book of people always, landless court have banned Charon in the white about their always being the and everyone laughed overlooking it because when I read that different than what I thought was then and one of the great grief landless light gave people people things (over because they use the example separate church and state, and I believe that within their 1 in looking at reading it, what is been there for me man, but if you put all the just right.

They do not and what that thing with it. The Lanman limey and great glory right you know him right begin okay. He that Monday and out like now because I found God, no, no pain, I now understand the metaphor about this and that we know what people don't look on Bill thought for anything down. That's right. That's why one of the additional schools I want to develop for car is this school and how to interpret Scripture go through all kinds of exercises so people can better understand yeah it's a necessity. A lot of people make mistakes. Right buddy, right okay I know you you know how you don't like about your and it irritates you that the maxilla make me feel the thing okay yes the cider stuff.

Yes it's it's slick and so stupid. I know that Mandela thing with you when you have and thankfully struck me goblet about you to you to make a blessed all right that Rudolph and the people to give me call it forth in lines 877-207-2276. Let's get to Justin from Ashland, Kentucky. They welcome their hey Grady, with you to minister in outrage. Maybe I figured you could fit it with Mario at my church which is an Arminian church, I'm on the cabinet out the five point Calvinism is ongoing. Tomorrow we do a were doing Christian history, and right now were on the Reformation and that my pastor was quick to go over with John Calvin and Luther did impact the history of this email.

I called but let's talk about this talk about was John Calvin and Luther in history that if you get my brother who also performed tomorrow to break down the acronym list. You know what the meeting is behind that but the whole aspect of Calvinism and reformed theology itself going to ask you. We only have an hour and I'm assuming that you going to prove that it Arminian… Probably say we only had about 20 or 32 present Calvin that I was asking. I want to ask you, what would be the best avenue to pack all five of the end of 30 minutes or less is what you want to do, but I would definitely do total price of X total depravity will undermine a lot of the Arminian presuppositions because when someone understand this that are human free will is restricted by our sinfulness that the unbeliever is not just willy-nilly free, independent of his fallenness and enslavement of sin because your minions will teach for the most part most four minutes, 98% will teach that is just up to our free will and that of the unbeliever has the ability to simply believe all he needs is right information that's not biblical. And in the slightest. So what I would do if I were you is really study total depravity.

If you want when you can do it. You can email me at info@carn.org and what I'll do is I will take a section out of my my notes that I have I been developing for years on the reformed theology of this cut and paste and put into an email and send it back to you and you'll have an outline form of the five points along with the Scripture supporting it with objections answered is very useful, very valuable in my opinion, and a little behind helpful, you need to understand, though that's so think about things this way, form, theology is God centered, Arminian theology is man centered people might say let's not true.

Yes it is true and reformed theology. God is the standard of holiness. The standard of righteousness, the standard of freedom understand everything and so therefore nobody is able to shoot what was with that and so I hurt you, I heard a sound in your back credibly distracted me.

So you do. Assuming the background back in college okay yeah it was a because it sounded like the Insta pot that I have out stairs.

It was like, whatever it is, it's what it is, my charter, and so so reformed theology is man seek really throws the reformed theology is God centered in Arminianism is man centered, because again Arminianism.

Salvation is is ultimately dependent upon what man does what man's choices are and they presuppose that man is the center of his own freedom. Man is the center of his own choice, and man is the center of of of what he believes are not. That's it are and reformed theology says nope God is the one who grants to be belief liquids 129 that believers in Christ. John 629 because of the born-again first Peter 13, you point us for eternal life. I X 1348 and chose us for salvation. Sacrificial is 2/13 and grants that we have repented, second to the 225 mL there's a difference here. This is the main thing reformed theology is God centered, Arminianism is man centered. Those of the ultimate of focal points.

Now the are managing a single God can't arbitrarily pick somebody doesn't do that they have a lot of objections but the objections don't relate to the scriptural issue an understanding that is to be had, so there you go, you can mean I don't know how it felt cut and paste a lot of stuff to a mass Y call 77077 still there.

All right okay break there's had to cut it off so that I answer that enough for you to great impact each acronym explained Calvinism like that like what happened there.nonpersonal express.

The people have the OLAP four point Calvin at your three point out that they will buy issues with women that or unconditional election 00. Whatever it is been really the issue is that those are the facts and the poverty of God right that the issue of man being told Kelly that this docket limits on the issue or that the election issue issue that you do not you got darker.by defendant focus on the P and yet they do anymore, Lord willing and the other acronym that like you said to focus on the private yet that's right because we're man centered and was so if you would email me at info@Carn X distant returning value budget information coming this email me and you can trust me, and 11 created. Thank you so much of the sum of all your talk about precept additional really interested in that defendant Dr. Greg Bachman, then why are you call back it's all will talk about this on the line and willing of you having lines he could call back me talk a precept that is powerful if this works all right yeah definitely. So my plan unless all right, that was Justin from Ashland, Kentucky we have for the lines of you want to give me a call 87720 welcome here.

I'm doing fine, fine. Thanks so what if you got the well now. I'll now my question is why a command from God. Why crates for gospel as God already pre-collected individual. Salvation because he ordains the means as well as the ends we do not know how it works that God ordains what he does and who he does would simply know that when we pray, more more people get saved. And yet God is behind all of it and in control of all of it because nothing can occur outside of the will of God, so God either wills are directly or indirectly, for certain things to occur and so inner freedom in Christ, we are able to pray because our prayers are sanctified through the blood of Christ, the father hears us.

And we we intercede is just tougher at this point.

When we intercede for somebody the ordination of God's work in us to intercede for somebody brings that person into salvation in the upper freely doing the intercessory prayer on their behalf. And so God ordains what we freely do not by forcing us, but in his ordination, which is another topic, and he brings about whatever he desires and so some people say that God knows what we're going to do and so he reacts to what we're going to do. That's kindergarten theology because it's it's not very deep and it's very elementary and it doesn't answer some of the deeper questions so I try and tell people is that even our free will choices are ordained by God. And yet you're still free people often don't understand how that can be the case. I take them to Jesus. Nice it was Jesus God in flesh or is he missing yes so please God in flesh and he is is is human and and and divine. I ask them to Jesus have free will and the civil course you did.

But Jesus says he could only do it if she's a father do it, do his own little thing was sent and so it is very Lotta verses like this. John 519 John 530 John 637 through 40. And so there's these verses.

So I say but Jesus from all eternity was predestined to do whatever the father had him do and yet he had free will is called compatible is compatible is says that human free will and God's sovereignty are compatible.

Libertarianism says no they're not compatible with they do is they elevate man's freedom to such a degree that's sick.

They elevate man's for tonight man's free will to such a degree that the sovereignty of God is restricted and that's not what we want to do right now.

We wanted to not really never regarded because of my own free will. I want to pray for those now cry. I think I'm God completely in charge of that person election are not that the graph and that this prayer are okay. I like the fact that I had Tom: I know we don't have everybody waiting so glad okay that's fine hello my personal arm candy and being unequally yoked. Again, the light in your walk with Christ.

Yes okay I you say can means is it in the realm of possibility the course of this and okay and I and struggling frequently.

Actually, with light brown and Edit And how you want now you and are you unequally yoked a crane early that.

Not any I would love to talk to you in times like if you had a number I could call that I don't hear what I would do if I were you is is to study first Peter three and this is the same way you wise, be submissive, your own husband so that if even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be one without a word, by the behavior of their wives what women kinda generally fail to understand that if you say it wants to amend were done. Thank you got it. And if you continue to go on and on and on about it generally doesn't work so what the at the advice here is just live it the best of your bill and let them see it that will work on that with so that's what it is but also you do praying and have a pray for him as well. Well I say folks, we have wide-open lines vital to line 760 right back after the mass Y77077 charismatic slave, welcome back today and I do patriarch but I did talk about something interesting on its share here as well because I think it's really important that people understand the ability to witness to muscles and so there's a lot of information out there on Islam and I really do think people need to twist women to do is give you two things to look at and I I think I need to really focus on this and get people to understand get people to see and just learn how to deal with muscles so women to do it is read you some stuff at the Quran, show you how to use the Quran in order to demonstrate to them that Islam is false will simple to do and all you do is go to serve 482. This would assess and servicing the Carranza remix chapter so 482 is do they not consider the Quran. Had it been from other than Allah. They would surely found therein much discrepancy. So in other words, if there is any discrepancy, the Quran is not from Allah. I show this to them and as a degree that there's any problem.

There are no problems in the Carranza site really okay so what to do now is show them another verse in its 86 versus five, six and seven. Syrups are 86 567. Now, let man would think from what he's created is created from a drop emitted proceeding from between the backbone of the rents.

So what this does is it demonstrates that a man's seed is set originates in the man's chest, and of course that's not correct not go to detail quite a bit in here, but I don't want to do that because the very people in the car listening to school and raise things. The point is that there are there are problems. The Quran understands something the Quran claims to be the very word of God. Every truth of God, but it isn't. Islam is a false religion, and the cross false and we can prove all of this long false prove it by using the Quran see if the crime is true then Islam is false. If the Quran is false then Islam is false. Either way Islam is false. If the Quran is true and it says there's any discrepancies in the trauma stuff and got its true that we find discrepancy that is not from God's will. Simple but if it's not true.

When you can't trust it. So is Sarah 482 that if there's any discrepancy, the Quran is not from Allah answer route 86 527 and that is where man's seed is formed in his chest, and of course that's not the case now was so there you go quick and slick one share that with you. I got little things like that show areas to all right, let's get to.

Let's see if he gets kicked from their Arizona Arkansas lecture welcome one year. There are not Arkansas, Arizona.

Okay to be AZ.

There, but no guy got a question for you given a ride when he went on their hands, so no mold people that handle lesser questions and emigrated? The him know if you let if you want to church anymore and you're a member. Do you think that you should write a resignation letter and if so how long should you wait to get back from them well in my opinion should write it right away and does give the gospel give it to them why they did that and actually I'm curious to know what to Gary Johnson would seem to have my week and next week their judgment book a gun in my hand right now introducing Christianity. The Mormons and so is when Mormons leave their church. They don't know the truth and he did a great job here is great work and he's writing about the introduction of Christianity to Mormon slickers understand what it is.

It's 250 pages is one of North what a good stuff in there that's great job and so asking that question as well but nevertheless I think they should write it very quickly.

I think they should give the reasons why it is and send it off as a get me off your roll call your roles things like that. If they don't respond quickly, but don't know the internal method mechanism is of nevermore how long it takes, but so I think there's a an expected timeframe of the doesn't read them again that they don't do it again I would do the appointment but the something we could ask Eric about it on the air next week and I like that but I told him to do.

I imagine Mormon is in research ministry and said Dr. Bill Mike Deibert. He answers the following are Eric Johnson there sort of thing and I wouldn't know. I told him, and I think 79 that I didn't believe in it, and then they are not living up to their standards and self that included guy with me anyway. But this guys upset because they haven't heard back from the church and I just don't know why that would be a big deal is not happy dealing with people that don't believe in it, the more the church is the true church notes the church just about Jesus is the true church yet a lot and so much with to say that one is also to attack their organization is like a sports team, you know, if you're really loyal to a sports team. Some attach a sports team.

You get very defensive automatically regardless of what is false, and that's what it is. It's not as on the Lord Jesus. It's a sports team. It's the it's the religion team of Mormonism and so there there given over to it. They believe in it. They think it's true, and I think they were testimonies from God. It's not. They've always been our feelings and all the stuff and so that's why, and in Mormonism but her neck and want to reduce their roles officially anymore than they have to. They want Mormonism. The team effort of making it look good successful and victorious and that's what I don't know… But I do know it but don't like to create a record that somebody left the church because I didn't believe in that they always want to excommunicate people we hold our core.

You know something moral or something like that. And so if you tell them you don't believe in it.

They leave you on the role or something like that unless you demand to be taken off the world. And then sometimes I don't. Sometimes they don't. My case they cured me of of all sorts of ridiculous stuff that I wasn't doing good because I told him I didn't think I had to go through the capital to get the dental rights I've had many people tell me that when they let Mormonism they were accused of adultery, fornication, lighting, theft, all kind of stuff.

The character assassination. Tell your story. I recount this in a while is a bit of the story but it's really interesting and so I met a guy and we got talking we end up having coffee together. His next morning coffee and so he was tell me what happened to him. It was tremendous it is and how bad the Hadley limit the the Of the more mature trees and he was a devout Mormon who asked his bishop a question or two about the origins and history of Mormonism. He told me he wasn't doubting anything, it is what is in the bishop told don't ask questions and confused in Washington can ask any questions and started the ball of people say well he's doubting Mormonism is not clearly answered and became more and more of an issue right on the mute you because of the background and so I was what happened.

This guy was his father died he had to go out to an eastern city in Idaho here and was out there for I know, two, three, four weeks whatever was taking care of business, take care of the father's estate and things like that and he was driving back and told his wife calls wife him coming home and she said don't bother, and what don't bother well. He did go home and there were a bunch of suits waiting for, and was another man who his wife ended up marrying was there. The Mormons were there. They presented him with legal work, saying that I'm never the details but it was like the house is no longer yours. The cars are no longer yours to Becca W kind of thing and you need to get your stuff out of the house and you to leave right now. This is what happened to him when he came home after taking service. Fatherhood died. The guy looked at me and his did you see the emotion and the pain and suffering. He said he had $2000 that was just in it he had to pick $2000 cash and so he didn't have a car the next place to stay, and he had a Morgan job job with Mormons would get after the break Carol tie would happen but continue to live.

Rick he contacted a very good close Mormon friend of his says look I got $2000 cash I need a car would tell you something that one car that you have at your self and his Mormon friend suggestion from I like to get, so he gave his Mormon buddy the cash in the Mormons have the cash is what happened to handling effective rate is one of after his message. Mass Y. Call 77077 charismatic slave welcome buddy wrong here.

Hello alright man hanging in there, but we got all called to what you think about Roman authority and power and benefit a few days ago. Then it know you Get paint for KellyGarelick the 13th of going to other scriptures and… Note but is limited negative thoughts that I got the update that word just by by work like that with Paul the apostle is doing. This is important to understand the context and some Catholics routinely take this out of context so understand in the book of Romans, Paul begins in chapter 1 by just introducing himself in various issues and he goes into that the nature of the gospel. Then he goes into the judgment of God upon the unbelievers.

The start in verse 18 of chapter 1 the wrath of God is revealed against from heaven against all ungodliness and he has reasons and judgments, reason, judgment, God gave them over because of this because of the exchange glory to God. For this reason God gave them over as the as and this reason God gave it so what is doing is he is speaking against the sinfulness of the Gentiles. Now in verse in chapter 2. Therefore you have no excuse, everyone who passes judgment, for in that you judge another you condemn yourself or you who judge practice the same thing now is important as we go to verse 17, but if you bear the name Jew and rely upon the law and boast in God's of this is important, contextually with Paul was done in chapter 1 is condemn the Gentiles and everybody the Jews are to be looking down our noses and yet we have the law, and we know that's what he says in verse chapter verse 17 if you bear the name Jew and rely upon the law and boast in God, so if you think you're the process was addressing if you say this if you bear the name Jew so he's talking about that now in invective in chapter 2 of verse one. Therefore you have no excuse all of you pass judgment in that that what you judge another you condemn yourself. You're doing the same thing. Now he's got teased, focusing on the Jews is focusing on what's going on. Verse five because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath.

What is doing the same. You Jews are hypocrites. You say you have the law, but you don't live it you as soon think you want to or doing it in you to be saved, says in verse 12 verse 11.

There is no partiality with God between Jew and Gentile for all who have sinned without the law will perish without the law and I'll send under the law will be judged by the law. He's telling him that there's gonna be two groups of people.

Those without the law and those with the law. The law is the Mosaic revelation of the law, for it is not the hearers of the law or just forgot the doers of the law were justified. So Paul is addressing here the hypocrisy of the Jews like you're condemning them you're mocking them but they're the ones who are doing the law doing that you're not doing it right before God, not you know people say will wait a minute as Paul actually teaching justification is by the law is to Janice I know who you as an annular Catholic was to talk about this on the status of doers of the Lord justified right so is faith necessary to disable faith. You have to have to have that what where is it where is it mentioned to hear what you saying because the Bible says and you he says in Romans 328.

He says we maintain that man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. When I send Scripture get scriptural understanding that what Paul is doing in this parade could be is he is Britt rubbing the Jews nose in it wants to do it are the ones right before God.

You're not doing it. That's what he said and you're not doing your standard is a lot you can be justified before the God if you do the law can be if you can do the law but nobody can. The problem isn't with the law. The problems with the lock keeper. Nobody can keep the law. But he says the doers of the lobby justified is what he is doing is he is bringing to their understanding that the Gentiles are doing those things that you aren't even do is notice next verse for the Gentiles who do not have the law is the formal codification of the law under the Old Testament. They do instinctively the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts. The conch is very witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing us defending them on the day when the court my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. So what he's doing is he showing that both the Jews and the Gentiles have have law, the law that were on the heart of the Gentiles.

They often do better than what the Jews who have the written law of God that they could be just and you're not to be.

Just because they're doing it.

You're not.

That's the whole point is used which got off often does is he uses the standard that a person ask about himself and not about himself but he himself asks as a standard. So for example when the righteous, self-righteous lock keeper of the other scribe came up to Jesus and what good thing must I do to be saved. Is it okay keep the law be doing. No, you're not because what God does is uses your own standard to judge you by next Matthew 72. As you know is you judge others you be judge yourself as Jesus says the principal is used by Jesus and is used by Paul so you Jews you're failing to keep the law, but they are, and then to be judged. That way that's always going on is not saying that there justified before God by their works because no matches my bike but it works. We know that the Bible clearly teaches it so sad. Janice parked on here and he failed to understand the whole of the context there and he failed to understand Hartley's other verses that he's just a typical Roman Catholic okay it you don't get is always going on and I'm going to be starting a my Bible study. I finished James on Thursday night and this Thursday I'll be starting on the book of Romans. People asked for the book of Romans to take about a year for me to go through and I'm going to do it a bit differently when we doing is just putting up time from a 31 hour notice to go as far as many verses I get to an hour and the introduction verse will probably take us a half-hour. Romans 11 is a lot in there Paul, a bondservant of Christ Jesus, called as apostle, set apart for the gospel of God. So, Paul bondservant, Jesus Christ called apostle, set apart gospel and God ate things right there. We can examine just in the first verse and go ambulate lay down. I hope that helps and I'll be going through our rooms to again also write tomorrow or or or you two people waiting. If you want to collect market rooms at a time robotic RF income plus all right, let's get to Mark from Florida Mark welcome. You're on here.

I'm actually returning our call on Mercury caller.

I have a question that last week I asked the question that the end of the program I ran out of time and had to do with it. Christian and have homosexual feelings yes and I think the answer yeah it was just I took some time. The light about that had a question. How does that fit with Brahman 126 through 32 anytime to take a look at that line on Skype and I was so kind that come here or do anything like that. I just was examining the Scriptures. Looking at it now, let me make a heaven for Minnesota to make sure people understand what I mean when I say can you have homosexual tendencies and silly Christian answers yes can you be can have lustful tendencies and still be Christian, yes, can you have a tendency for self-preservation to the point where you want to lie. So the question answers yes. The thing is, tendencies and temptations are different than carrying them out and working with them and using them to your advantage or your source for self-satisfaction. We can be born with varying tendencies and failures in our hearts, and yet we struggle against him because we know their sinful, so the were not born pure and we were born again.

This we were pure in all of our sinful tendencies disappear what it means is that once regenerates within war against our sinful tendencies we still have the in the could be a variety of them and that's my point is, so can you be a Christian and shall have homicidal tendencies yes can you be a Christian still have a lustful tendencies. Yes you can't but that doesn't mean it's okay to have them.

It means that you're struggling with them and you're laying the before the processing of still struggling with this. I don't want to be struggle, but this new beautiful that's what's going on now 26, 228 rate of check of Romans to Romans one trip so for this reason God gave them over what's the reason verse 24 therefore every 45 for they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the creator. For that reason God gave them over to degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural function that is unnatural and the men of the same wife sold like the lesbianism of sexuality and just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things is not proper. This is a judgment it's I the only judgment I'm aware of in Scripture where if you committed here in this life God gives you over to it now.

So what did the cause of the judgment is is in verse 25 they worshiped and served the creature and in 26 and 27 they gave themselves over to homosexual acts, and passions. They participated they gave themselves into it. That's what they did and that's the problem so if you're if a person has homosexual tendencies and his warning against him. He's not doing what Romans one is is talking about. Okay up a rejection again with that and I Romans 128 2028 year already fed dismissed God altogether. Now you go over to okay I got I got that worshiping and serving that preachers are idolaters and got getting them over okay and that it made a lot of fear of God basically right gave them over to the degrading passions and then to go on the final verses will sometimes verse 32 and though they did not know though they know the ordinance of God and that those who practice such things are worthy of that they not only do the same but give hearty approval to those who practice them. Yeah, go for it, tried let's do it. Hey, let's gather the public and show it that's going on. That's what's happening.

That's that judgment upon them. They have been judged by God that was cool the very beginning collar clearly giving being tolerable, but thank okay okay okay but they promote hearty little to those who practice out of okay I got I got rights on RMS. Thank you for a godless. They folks, we are at a time of the Lord bless you by his grace was back on the morrow. Hopefully this so have a great evening. Another program powered by the Truth Network
