What About Salvation? Pt. 3 (Articles of Faith Series)

This is Scott Schein's darkness, fireflies slickly wrap up our discussion topic of salvation which is another piece of our articles of faith series and this week Michael, Matthew and I discuss a couple questions. First how do good works playing the salvation. Why aren't you an antinomian and then secondly, do you ever doubt your salvation. If so, what gives you hope and how is your view of salvation changed your view of Christ for sharing this discussion with you. Okay you ask all this question first. How do good works playing in the salvation. Why don't you and antinomian. This question comes to us from Ross Anderson so couple couple of times couple experience I want to talk about so when Angela and I were first married.

Our son Curtis was born a year after were married and I had just like started going to school, going to college first semester for my undergrad when he was born and some end up taking what what what is good is take one semester off and then go back and one semester turned into three years and after while filing site go back to school, but in the intervening years. We had a young family had I worked two jobs and go to work all day at the insurance company – and in the evening we go to work delivering pizza and while I was driving around literary piece. I would listen to Christian radio and the one show that I would listen to quite a bit. Was the Bible answer met with Hank had a graph and I know he's taken quite a bit of flak recently last two years for his conversion to Eastern orthodoxy, but I would listen to him and he would take calls and a lot of times we take calls from Latter Day Saints because he was critical of latter-day St. theology Latter Day Saints would apparently listen and call him and I remember one time I was delivering a piece. Ironically, Deborah on the same street where my bishop lived and I'm listening to Hank had a graph and he was talking to an LDS caller who called to ask a very similar question. What about how to do will explain salvation are the necessary and the type of question and Hank was answering was he was explaining that you know good works are the outgrowth of a saved person's changed heart. God changes the heart and then a Christian does good works. As a result of that heart change right and he was talking about sanctification and the difference between sanctification and justification. And I remember being really angry and yelling at my car stereo that the differences he was explaining were just semantics and fast-forward about two years, probably from that experience. When I was back in school. One evening I was driving to the small college where I was going to school and Hank was on again and took another question from a latter-day St., and she was asking a very similar question and for whatever reason when he explained that time it clicked for me right, I wasn't angry anymore.

I was yelling in my car stereo and more and I understood when he said that were certain outgrowth of the Sacred Heart. They are not necessary for salvation.

A Christian doesn't do good works to be saved. They do good works because there saved right and so that that's kinda how I came to understand. It was through those, to do experiences listening to Hank had a graph talk about it and answer the question. The second part of the question though is, why aren't you in antinomian right and so that I'd say I'm not an antinomian because Scripture teaches against it in Romans six, Paul asked some really blunt question and up until that point in the epistle she's been preaching the gospel of grace. He's been preaching that none are righteous, no not one that all need Jesus for salvation and that and that's by grace, not works right and then he gets to this really direct question that just strikes at the root of the tree of his ancient critics writing and in the question. You can hear their accusations of easy believers in antinomianism.

We shut them down right.

The question is, what shall we say then are we to continue in sin that grace may abound and house house Paul answer that rhetorical question is using. He says God for bid by no means no were not antinomian's good works are evidence of a changed heart and they're not there not a requirement for salvation right Matthew, why aren't you in antinomian PAUL DID A GREAT JOB AS USUAL. SO I MENTIONED IN EPHESIANS 210 IS ON MY FERRET PASSAGES HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL. YES, OBEDIENCE TO IT SPEAKS OF HOW HER OR SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH, NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD NOT A RESULT OF WORKS, SO THAT NO ONE MAY BOAST, BUT IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. USUALLY THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIANS STOP AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT TO SPEAK OF OUR SIN BY GRACE AND NOT WORKS BUT WE REALLY SHOULD SAYS FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM SO SAVED BY GRACE BUT WERE NOT JUST SAVED BY GRACE. AND THAT'S IT WORSE OR SAVE FOR PURPOSE.

GOD IS HE'S GIVING US THE BENEFITS OF SALVATION SO THAT WE CAN SHARE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST WITH OTHERS SAYS WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, GOD WORKS WITH US, MOLDS US, SHAPES US WE ARE CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS IS SPEAKING OF THE NEW CREATION THE REBIRTH AND REGENERATION AND SO ARE CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS.

THAT'S OUR PURPOSE IN A WORK READINESS. CHRISTIANS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF MOVING FORWARD AND PRODUCING GOOD WORKS JUST LIKE JESSICA TREE IS PLANTED AND IT'S GROWN AND GROWS IT SPROUTS ITS CREATES A TRUNK AND BRANCHES AND TREES AND THE LEAVES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING FRUIT SO GOD IS DOING ALL THIS WORK AND ASKED PRUNING ESTES TRAINING AS IS TEACHING US IS GUIDING US SO THAT WE CAN PRODUCE GOOD WORKS SO GOOD WORKS ARE THE FRUIT THAT NATURALLY FOLLOW FROM THE REBIRTH SALVATION IS WHAT PAUL SAID THERE'S ONE PASSAGE ALSO THAT I WAS GONNA BRING UP SLIP MY MIND THAT'S A GOOD SIGN FOR ME TO STOP. IT WAS A QUESTIONING WHAT ROLE DO GOOD WORKS PLAY IN SALVATION AND WAY ARE JUNE AND WE BROUGHT UP JAMES TO QUITE HEAVILY ABOMINABLE EARLIER BUT NOT OKAY WHILE REALLY GOING DEATH EITHER, BUT YET THAT'S THE PASSAGE THAT I USED QUITE OFTEN AS LATTER DAY SAINTS WAS NO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD AND I AND I STILL HERE THAT QUITE A LOT CREDIT SHOW JUSTIFICATION FOR ALL AND THE ROMANS DON'T REALLY GO TO JAMES SO IN THE ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION, ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION, SO MEMBERS FOR 14 JAMES TWO SAYS WHAT GOOD IS IT, MY BROTHERS, IF SOMEONE SAYS HE HAS FAITH BUT DOES NOT HAVE WORKS AND THAT FAITH SAVE HIM. IF A BROTHER OR SISTER IS POORLY CLOSED AND LACKING IN DAILY FOOD AND ONE OF YOU SAYS TO THEM GO IN PEACE, BE WARMED AND FILLED, WITHOUT GIVING THEM THE THINGS NEEDED FOR THE BODY, WHAT GOOD IS THAT SO ALSO FAITH BY ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE WORKS BUT SOMEONE WILL SAY YOU HAVE FAITH AND I HAVE WORKS. SHOW ME YOUR FAITH APART FROM YOUR WORKS, AND I WILL SHOW YOU MY FAITH BY MY WORKS. YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ONE. WELL, THE DEMONS BELIEVE IN SHUTTER YOU WANT TO BE SHOWN, YOU FOOLISH PERSON THAT FAITH APART FROM WORKS IS USELESS, SO THE REASON WHY THIS PASSAGE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS DOING AT A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN WHAT PAUL'S DOING SO YOU CAN JUST SAY HE CAN JUST POINT TO JAMES.

I HAVE ALL I THINK THAT'S THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY I FIND A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO DO THAT. THEY TRY TO PIT ONE BIBLICAL AUTHOR AGAINST THE OTHER, BUT SINCE ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED, ACCORDING TO SECOND TIMOTHY TWO SORRY BRAVEHEART SECOND TIMOTHY 316 TO 17 ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED, YOU CAN HAVE PAUL CONTRADICT JAMES JAMES OR ANY COMBINATION THEREIN, SO YEAH SO WHAT PAUL'S DOING. THAT IS, HE'S DEALING WITH POWER. WE MADE RIGHT WITH GOD. HOW DO WE AS FOLLOWING WRETCHED SINNERS IS WE'VE GONE THROUGH GREAT DETAIL HOW DO WE BECOME RIGHT WITH GOD IS NOTHING WE CAN DO TO MAKE US RIGHTEOUS OR GOD USES THE CASE OF WHEN ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THAT WAS AT LEAST 20 YEARS BEFORE ABRAHAM OFFERED HIS SON ON THE ALTAR I THINK IS ABOUT AT LEAST 20 YEARS BEFORE I CAME IN EXACTLY THE TIME. BUT AS LONG BEFORE THAT. SO HE SAYING GOD FOR HE WAS CIRCUMCISED. ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM AS RIGHT SO SHOWING AFTER FAITH ALONE WERE JUSTIFIED.

HOWEVER, YOU CAN TAKE THE OPPOSITE EXTREME. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BECOME RIGHTEOUS BY YOUR WORKS ARE TRYING TO COME TO GOD AND SAY, THAT WORKS ARE ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY THAT'S THAT'S AN EVEN THAT'S ANTINOMIANISM THAT THIS IDEA THAT RECEIVED IN CHRIST SO WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A REPENTANCE WE CAN CONTINUE TO SIN AS MUCH ABOUT AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE KIND OF FAITH THAT JAMES IS GOING AFTER. SO THAT'S WHY A LOT OF TIMES IN JAMES CHAPTER 2 VERSE 14 I THINK. I THINK IT'S IN ADDITION TO THE TEXT AND RECHECK THE AMERICAN STANDARD DOESN'T SHOWN IN ITALICS BUT IT SAYS IN VERSE 14 IT SAYS CAN THAT FEET SAFE ARE WE TO GET VERSE 14 WHAT USE IS IT MY BROTHER IF SOMEONE SAYS HE HAS FAITH BUT HE HAS NO WORKS, THAT FEET SAFE SO HE SPEAKING OF THAT SPECIFIC FAITH. FAITH THAT DOES NOT LEAD TO GOOD WORKS OR SAYS THAT WORKS ARE NOT NECESSARY. THE FAITH THAT IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM WORKS THAT IS NOT GOOD WORKS THAT FEET SAFE. JAMES BASICALLY GOES ON TO SAY, AS I QUOTED EARLIER IN THIS CASE IS NO BECAUSE EVEN THE DEMONS ALSO BELIEVE IN SHUTTER SO THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS, BUT THEY HAVE NO GOOD WORKS INNOVATE AND THEY JUST KNOW JESUS IS THE CHRIST AND THAT'S ALL.

SO FOR US TO COMPLETELY SEVER FAITH FOR GOOD WORKS IS JUST AS MUCH A FALSE GOSPELS SAY IS TO TRY TO MIX WORKS TO MAKE YOURSELF RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD WERE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH ALONE, BUT THAT WILL NEVER BE ALONE, SO WORKS MUST NECESSARILY FOLLOW.

TO REITERATE ON JAMES ARE NOT CONTRADICTING OTHER TALK ABOUT YOU SO WHEN YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF BOTH OF THESE TEXTS TOGETHER. THEY REALLY THEY REALLY AGREEING WITH EACH OTHER. THAT'S WHEN AN ANTINOMIAN RIGHT YOU WILL I YEAH I'LL BE DISCUSSING A LOT OF TIMES WITH LATTER DAY SAINTS AND THE QUESTION COMES UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN OKAY WILL YOU BELIEVE THAT GRACE IS A FREE GIFT THAT IS. YOU MUST THINK THAT YOU CAN SEND AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES ARE SEEN THAT STATEMENT, AND WILL USUALLY RESPOND IS DO YOU HAVE SOMEBODY IN YOUR FAMILY THAT LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND ON IN THE SAME GAS AND THEN I'LL RESPOND.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU YOU CAN BETRAY THEM AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS, IS THAT YOUR GOAL BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND USUALLY THAT KINDA HELPS THEM UNDERSTAND WHERE WERE COMING FROM. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE GOD LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY. HE WAS THE CHILDREN UNCONDITIONALLY DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU NEVER GONNA WANT TO TURN AROUND AND BETRAY THAT THAT LOVE CONSTANTLY. IT'S ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE.

IT JUST IT MAKES ME GRATEFUL MAKES ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON AND MAKES ME WANT TO ASK.

IT MAKES ME WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE THEY KNOW ME, EVEN WITHOUT ME SAYING ANYTHING. I WANT HIM TO BE GLORIFIED AND I IS ON AN ANALOGY OUT THERE YOU KNOW I DON'T DO CHORES AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE DOING DISHES AND TAKING OUT THE TRASH TO AND IS AN ATTEMPT TO COURT MY WIFE OR MAKE HER FALL IN LOVE WITH ME WHEN I BE RIDICULOUS BECAUSE CHORES DON'T MAKE A RELATIONSHIP, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND YOU I CAN DO THESE THINGS WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED. WHEN I DO THAT I DO IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M IN A LOVING RELATIONSHIP. NOT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO GET IN ONE SO I'LL KNOW IF THAT IF THAT MAKES SENSE. JUST KIND OF US THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MY HEAD. KNOW THE REASON I'M NOT AN ANTINOMIAN IS BECAUSE YOU WILL USE SHARED SOME RESTRICTIONS THAT JUST TEACH AGAINST THAT THAT SAY THAT WE ARE YOU WE ARE CALLED TO GOOD WORKS ON ONE THING REAL QUICK. I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT IS OKAY AWESOME YES REALLY QUICK. I YOU WHAT YOU SAID REALLY REMINDED ME OF EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT WE OUGHT WE ALWAYS THINK OF YOU KNOW WHEN CHRISTIANS THEY WERE FREED IN CHRIST WERE SAVED BY GRACE ALONE WORKS. DON'T CONTRIBUTE OUR SALVATION. THE SAY WHILE JESUS SAYS IF YOU LET ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND I SEE THAT NOW.

I SAY AMEN IF WE LOVE CHRIST WE WILL WANT TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. AND HOW DO WE HAVE THAT SEGREGATES FIVE I THINK PROBABLY MET A MUCH EARLIER SPEAKS OF THE NEW REBIRTH GOING FROM REBEL CENTER TO REDEEM A REDEEMED BELIEVER. SO STARTING IN VERSE 16. FROM NOW ON.

THEREFORE WE REGARD NO ONE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH. EVEN THOUGH WE ONCE REGARDED CHRIST ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, WE REGARD HIM.

THUS, THE LONGER. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION. THE OLD HAS PASSED AWAY. BEHOLD, THE NEW HAS COME. ALL THIS IS FROM GOD THROUGH CHRIST RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF AND GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION AND GOING ON VERSE 21 FOR OUR SICK MADE HIM TO BE SIN WHO KNEW NO SIN, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND PART OF OCTOBER 17 VERSE 21 IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE DOUBLE. THE DOUBLE EXCHANGE EXCHANGE OF ARSONS, CHRIST SAYS, FOR OUR SAKE HE MADE HIM TO BE SIN WHO KNEW NO SIN, SO HE TOOK US OUR SINS UPON HIM CONTINUING ON, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD… WE WE RECEIVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST PRESENT DOUBLE EXCHANGE GOING BACK FOR 17 THEREFORE IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION SO THEY WHY DON'T YOU GO ON SINNING WHILE YOU JUST DO EVERY WARRANT ARE SAVED BY GRACE YOUR SECURITY DON'T WANT TO DO.

EVERYONE BECAUSE IF YOU'RE TRULY IN CHRIST, AND YOU'RE NOT IN A FALSE PROFESSOR OF HEALTH BELIEVER, YOU WILL BE A NEW CREATION. YOU WILL BE SOMEONE DIFFERENT. YOU CANNOT. YOU CANNOT ENCOUNTER CHRIST AND COME AWAY. THE SAME AS YOU WERE BEFORE YOU WILL WANT TO SERVE GOD, YOU WILL WANT TO LET HIM AND AS I THINK THAT EXAMPLE OF A MARRIAGE IS IS EXACTLY RIGHT, BECAUSE IN US OR ANY REAL ORGAN THAT LOOKS SO IT'S IT'S GREAT TO KNOW THAT GOD LOVES US NO MATTER WHAT.

AND HE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE US TO THE CURB AS WE MAKE A MISTAKE. SO KNOWING THAT KNOWING THAT WERE SECURING HIM AND HIS LOVE. IT WILL PUSH US WILL NATURALLY WANT TO SERVE WILL BE WILL WANT TO HAVE MORE DEVOTIONS AND MOMMY. JUST THINK ABOUT ALL THE ALL THE JOBS YOU HAD IN THE PAST YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAD A BOSS THAT CARED ABOUT YOU SERIALLY ABOUT YOUR WELFARE AND WAS WILLING TO HELP YOU OUT NEEDED IT VERSUS MAYBE A BOSS WHO IS LESS UNDERSTANDING AND WAS MAYBE HARSHER WITH YOU, YOU PROBABLY WANTED TO WORK HARDER CARED ABOUT THE POSITIVE CARE ABOUT AND I JUST OUR NATURAL INCLINATION IS SOMEONE CARES ABOUT YOU WANT, YOU NATURALLY WANT TO HELP THEM AND THOSE WHO WERE BORN IN CHRIST IS NEW CREATION. NOW WE WANT TO SURPRISE YOU WANT TO BE A WHITE OTHERS.

WE WANT TO DO GOOD WORKS, YET ALONG THAT VEIN, I THINK, THINK.

WHAT I SHOULD'VE SAID EARLIER TO IS YOU, TYING IT BACK TO EARLIER QUESTIONS YOU ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE SAY THAT FORENSIC JUSTIFICATION IS A FAIRYTALE IF IT WERE JUST A MYTH OR A FAIRYTALE OR JUST YOU KNOW FLOWERY WORDS THAT WE USE ABSOLUTELY WE WOULD ALL BE ANTINOMIAN'S. THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT PROVES IT IS A REAL CHANGE OF HEART THAT OCCURS AND THERE IS REAL SANCTIFICATION THAT FOLLOWS AND BECAUSE IT IS A REAL GOSPEL AND AND PRICES ACTUALLY YOU IMPROVING UPON US AND HELPING US TO BE BETTER PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY AM NOT AN ACCIDENT AND I'M REALLY QUICK TO.

THAT'S WHY GOING BACK TO LOWER TALKING ABOUT DEATHBED REPENTANCE. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT IS THAT GOD KNOWS OUR HEART CAN'T BE. OR WE CAN'T JUST SAY OKAY GOD AND I BELIEVE YOU SAVE ME AND YOU KNOW CHECK OFF OF THINGS BUT THERE'S NO CHANGE OF HEART. GOD CAN KNOW THAT, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN AND DOES CHANGE HEARTS IN THE END THAT MOMENT SO YEAH IT'S BEEN A REAL MASS QUESTION OF THE EVENING AND THIS IS A VERY PERSONAL QUESTIONS. DO YOU EVER DOUBT YOUR SALVATION AND IF SO WHAT IS IT THAT GIVES YOU HOPE AND HOW DOES YOUR VIEW OF SALVATION NOW AFFECT YOUR VIEW OF CHRIST AND I'D LIKE TO START WITH PAUL SO REAL TALK. DO I EVER DOUBT MY SALVATION. YES, BECAUSE I COME FROM A BACKGROUND WHERE YOU SIN YOU HAVE LEFT THE PATH TO SALVATION, AND SO YES MY MINDS BECAUSE ARMS BECAUSE IN THE CENTER MY MIND AT TIMES GOES THERE BUT WHAT WOULD GIVES ME HOPE IS KNOWING THAT JESUS PAID IT ALL, ALL TO HIM WHILE I TALK ABOUT DRIVING AROUND DELIVERED SITE IS TO LISTEN TO THROUGH THE BIBLE WITH J. VERNON MCGEE AND THAT WAS THAT SONG WAS ALWAYS PART OF HIS BROADCAST JESUS PAID IT ALL, ALL TO HIM. I'LL SIN IS LEFT A CRIMSON STAIN IS WASHED AWAY THE SNOW AND ICE WERE MY HOPELESS. I LIKE IT BUT I LIKE WHAT THE WHAT PAUL WRITES IN ROMANS SEVEN AS WELL VERSUS 79 HE SAYS WHAT SHALL WE SAY IN THIS BUSINESS HIM CONTINUING HIS IS CONVERSATION OF THE LAW AND SAYS WHAT THEN SHALL WE SAY THAT THE LAW IS SIN, BY NO MEANS YET. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LAW. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN SIN, FOR I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT IT IS TO COVET THE LAW HAD NOT SAID, YOU SHALL NOT COVET THE SIN SEIZING AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THE COMMANDMENT PRODUCING ME ALL KINDS OF COVETOUSNESS FOR APART FROM LOST AND LIES DEAD.

I WAS ONCE ALIVE APART FROM THE LAW WHEN THE COMMANDMENT CAME, SIN CAME ALIVE AND I DIED. THE VERY COMMANDMENT THE PROMISED LIFE PROVED TO BE DEAF TO ME AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT PAUL IS SAYING THERE IN RELATION TO ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN RIGHT THAT BEFORE THEY WERE GIVEN THE COMMANDMENT NOT TO GIVE AN ENTRY TO YOU OF ANY TREE EXCEPT FOR THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL BEFORE THEY WERE GIVEN A COMMANDMENT THEY WERE INNOCENT RIGHT, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO EAT OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT. BUT AS SOON AS THE COMMANDMENT CAME AND THEN THERE WAS THIS THIS INTEREST RIGHT AND THEY WERE THEY WERE TEMPTED AND CALL SAYING VERY SIMILAR THING HERE, THE SIN SEIZING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMANDMENT PRIME COURSE ROMANS CHAPTER 7.

TOWARDS THE END IS THE AMOUNT YOU COVER THIS AND OTHER EPISODES, THIS IS PAUL TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE STILL SENDS RIGHT, HE SAYS, STARTING IN VERSE 21. SO I FIND IT TO BE A LAW THAT WHEN I WANT TO DO RIGHT EVIL LIES CLOSE HANDS FOR I DELIGHT IN THE LAW OF GOD IN MY INTERBEING BUT I SEE IN MY MEMBERS ANOTHER LAW WAGING WAR AGAINST THE LAW OF MY MIND AND MAKING ME CAPTIVE TO THE LAW OF SIN THAT DWELLS IN MY MEMBERS WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM WHO WILL DELIVER ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH THANKS BE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. SO THEN I MYSELF SERVE THE LAW OF GOD WITH MY MIND WITH MY FLESH I SERVE THE LAW OF SIN AND THAT SEEMS TO BE SORT OF FEEDING AND DOING RIGHT, BUT THE CHAPTER BREAK IS NATURAL TO HIS EPISTLE. SO YOU FLIP OVER ROMANS CHAPTER 8 VERSE ONE AND THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS THE WHOLE RIGHT THIS IS THE GOSPEL.

THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE HAS SET YOU FREE IN CHRIST JESUS FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. AND SO IN THOSE MOMENTS WHERE MY MIND SORT OF REVERTS BACK TO THAT MORMON I DID. I RELY ON ROMANS ONE TO REVIVING YOU.HOPE AND THE FINAL PART OF THE QUESTION HOW HAS YOUR VIEW OF SALVATION CHANGED YOUR VIEW OF CHRIST IS ANYTHING IS MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR IS EVERYTHING, AND WITHOUT HIM NOTHING AND BEFORE SHE WAS AN EXEMPLAR. SHE WAS WHO I WAS TO FOLLOW TO PERFECTION, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK, AND SO THE VIEWER SALVATION PRESENTED IN THE BIBLE COME TO UNDERSTAND, HAS UTTERLY CHANGED MY VIEW OF CHRIST IS EVERYTHING THINKING PAUL SO IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE NOMINEES HAVE BELT BUT I THINK I STRESSED OUT SO MUCH ABOUT MY SALVATION IS LETTER TO ST. I REMEMBER THERE WERE IN THE APARTMENT HOUSING IN BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.

I REMEMBER READING ABOUT BEING BORN AGAIN AND YOU KNOW I LIKE. I JUST LOVE THE CONCEPT. SO MUCH FOR BEING BORN AGAIN AND IT'S LIKE SOMETHING I JUST DESIRED.

I JUST, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO BE COMPLETELY FREE OF SAME COMPLETELY JUST, YOU KNOW SIMS CREATURE. I JUST WANT TO BE FREE OF ALL, I GENERALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO IT.

I THOUGHT I IN LIFE.

I THOUGHT I WAS BORN AGAIN BECAUSE HE KNOWS GUYS AND I WAS BAPTIZED ALL FOLLOWING ALL THE PRINCIPLES OF GUILT.

MR. TOMMY IS WORKING HARD AS A MISSIONARY HAS TRY MY HARDEST NOT SO MUCH DOWN ALL THE TIME SO TO PLACE MY FAITH IN CHRIST YEARS AGO. IT'S IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE YOU KNOW I HAVE THOUGHTS YOU HAVE.

LIKE OCCASIONAL THOUGHT THE POP UP IN YOUR HEAD IN A RANDOMLY BUT I DON'T REALLY DWELL ON IT. I MEAN, I HAVE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS THAT THAT REALLY REALLY STRUGGLE WITH ASSURANCE, AND MAYBE I SHOULD START WITH ASSURANCE.

MAYBE I SHOULD STRUGGLE WITH THEM.

OR MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO WORK ON YOU. MAYBE I NEED TO BE TESTING MYSELF MORE BUT I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S IT'S IT'S LIKE TO HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW MANY ARE NOT REALLY SAVED BUT THEN I REMEMBER WELL BUT BUT BUT CHRIST DIDN'T YOU KNOW HE'S HE DIED FROM. I KNOW IT'S IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN. IF ANY OF US MAKING SENSE, BUT IT'S LIKE I REALLY DO TRUST THE CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR AND WHILE I STUMBLE ON A FALL AND IT MESSED UP QUITE A LOT AND YOU KNOW WITNESSING TO LATTER DAY SAINTS.

I THINK SOMETIMES MANAGED BEEN KINDER THERE. I SHOULD'VE BEEN SO BRASH.

I SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE PATIENT. I SHOULD'VE SAID THIS OR THAT, BUT IT SAME TIME I DON'T EVER AND I DON'T EVER'S DWELL FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND MY THOUGHTS ARE MY HEART. LIKE ALL MANAGED. MAYBE I'M JUST NOT SAVE MINUTES AND I THINK IT'S A BLESSING BECAUSE I LIKE IS AND I HAVE FRIENDS WHO DO STRUGGLE WITH THAT AND SO THEY COME TO ME AND I SAY WILL LOOK YOU'RE LOOKING INWARD, WE GOTTA LOOK OUT YOU LOOK AT CHRIST WHENEVER WERE DOUBTING JUST GOT A POINT OF SELF AND AND HE'S ALWAYS GOING TO ACCEPT US. YOU KNOW, GOD NEVER PUSHES AWAY ANYBODY THAT SINCERELY COMES TO HIM. SO YEAH SO SO AT I AM YOU HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE THAT, BUT I DON'T REALLY HAVE LIKE SINCERE DOUBTS OR ANYTHING.

MAYBE I'M WEIRD MAYBE A MINUTE MAYBE IS MAYBE IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN. IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW IT'S, LIKE SOME LIVING AWAY FROM HOME RIGHT NOW SO I LIVE IN NEW YORK MY FAMILIES BACK IN UTAH AND I KNOW MY FAMILY WILL BE ALIVE FOREVER AND I KNOW THAT IF I WANTED TO I COULD HOP IN A PLANE RIGHT NOW AND FLY OVER AND SEE MY FAMILY IF I WANTED TO BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC AND ONYX WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT BUT YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW I CAN. THERE, IT'S LIKE JUST A SURE IS THAT MY MIND I KNOW THE GODS THERE LIKE I TRUST CHRIST LOOKED ACROSS THE SAY THAT'S FOR MY SINS ARE NAILED AND ASSURANCES THAT MY MIND AS I KNOW MY FAMILIES BACK IN UTAH SO MUCH RINSING LIKE SOME SUPER CHRISTIAN OR AND I MEAN LIKE MY MONITORING A POSTER ANYTHING I JUST I WAS GONNA BRING UP A PASSAGE IN PHILIPPIANS THE KIND OF SUMMED UP MY FEELINGS TO ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION HER.

SORRY PHILIPPIANS 30 AND AND OR DOCUMENTS ARE SO DISORGANIZED. I THINK WE MIGHT ACQUIRE THIS BEFORE BUT IT'S WORTH BRINGING UP AGAIN NOW PAUL SAYS, BUT WHATEVER GAIN I HAD COUNTED AS LOSS FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST.

INDEED, I COUNT EVERYTHING IS LOST BECAUSE OF THE SURPASSING WORTH OF KNOWING CHRIST JESUS MY LORD, FOR HIS SAKE I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, AND COUNT THEM AS RUBBISH IN ORDER THAT I MAY GAIN CHRIST AND BE FOUND IN HIM, NOT HAVING A RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MY OWN THAT COMES FROM THE LAW, THAT WHICH COMES THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD THAT DEPENDS ON FAITH THAT I MAY KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND MAY SHARE HIS SUFFERINGS, BECOMING LIKE HIM IN HIS DEATH BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE I MAY ATTAIN THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD ARE GOING OKAY VERSE 12 NOT THAT I HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED THIS OR AM ALREADY PERFECT, BUT I PRESS ON TO MAKE IT MY OWN BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS HAS MADE BROTHERS, I DO NOT CONSIDER THAT I HAVE MADE IT MILD. BUT ONE THING I DO, FORGETTING WHAT LIES BEHIND AND STRAINING FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD, I PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE OF THE UPWARD CALL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS WITH THOSE OF US WHO ARE MATURE THINK THIS WAY AND IF ANYTHING YOU THINK OTHERWISE, GOD WILL WILL REVEAL THAT ALSO TO YOU ONLY LET US HOLD TRUE TO WHAT WE HAVE ATTAINED BROTHERS JOIN IN IMITATING THE AND KEEP YOUR EYES ON THOSE WHO WALK ACCORDING TO THE EXAMPLE YOU HAVE IN US FOR MANY OF WHOM I HAVE OFTEN TOLD YOU, AND NOW TELL YOU WITH TEARS BLOCK AS ENEMIES OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST THERE AND THIS DESTRUCTION THAT GOD IS THEIR BELLY AND THEIR GLORY MACHINE WITH MIND SET ON EARTHLY THINGS. BUT OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN, AND FROM IT WE AWAIT A SAVIOR, LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL TRANSFORM OUR LOWLY BODY TO BE LIKE HIS GLORIOUS BODY BY THE POWER THAT ENABLES HIM EVEN TO SUBJECT ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF, SO I DOUBT WHAT I STRUGGLE.

I JUST THINK ABOUT HOW CHRIST IS ALREADY'S IS ARTIE DONE IT. HE'S ALREADY LAID THE PATH FOR US. WE ARTY KNOW HOW THE MINORITY KNOW THE STORIES CAN AHEAD CHRIST WILL CONQUER EVERY CONGRESSMAN WHO CONQUERED DEATH IS CONQUERED. HE'S CONQUERED ALL OF IT AND JUST TO FINISH UP. I LOVE HEBREWS 1222.

THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY SO GREAT A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, LET US ALSO LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, AND SIN WHICH CLINGS SO CLOSELY, AND LET US RUN WITH ENDURANCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US, LOOKING TO JESUS, THE FOUNDER AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH. FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD.

WHEN WE SAID HE'S OUR HE'S OUR LORD IS OUR SAVIOR IS OUR GOD, HE'S OUR KING.

HE'S A PROPHET IS A PRIEST TEASER. HE'S EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IT HE'S HE'S EVERYTHING THAT WE SHOULD BE SINGING ABOUT.

AND SO WHEN WE GATHER TOGETHER BELIEVERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AGAIN WE PRAISE AND REJOICE IN CHRIST AS EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS CENTERED AROUND CHRIST. WE CAN MENTION ANYTHING IN SCRIPTURE. ALL SCRIPTS REQUESTED CHRIST. IT ALL POINTS TO HIMSELF IF WE HAVE CHRIST WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE DON'T HAVE CHRIST SO I THINK I THINK WHAT ONE THING IS TO POINT OUT IS I SAW CHRIST AS UNATTAINABLE GOAL IS LATTER DAY SAINTS AND I FELT LIKE THERE WERE SO MANY LEVELS OF SEPARATION BETWEEN ME AND HIM YOU KNOW I HAD TO THE COMMANDMENTS NOT ONLY THAT I HAD TO BE WORTHY HAD TO BE ABLE TO PASS MY TEMPLE RECOMMEND INTERVIEW BECAUSE I DIDN'T DO THAT AND I WOULD DEFINITELY BECOME A CHRIST AS THAT THAT'S GETTING ONE WHO AND THEN I GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE OFTEN AND I GOT IT.

KEEP ALL THESE ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS I DO THIS, THIS AND THAT, MAYBE, MAYBE I'LL BE ABLE TO PICK UP THE BREADCRUMBS THAT JESUS DROPS FROM THE TABLE. I WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY REACH HIM, BUT I BE ABLE TO GET LITTLE DROPS HERE AND THERE, AND IT ALWAYS FEEL LIKE HE WAS JUST COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM LIKE I CAN SEE THEM OFF IN THE DISTANCE. IN A CROWD, BUT I COULD NEVER REACH IN AND LIKE NOW WE TRUST CHRIST, WE CAN GO TO HIM PERSONALLY IN ALL MY MY PASTOR DOES NOT SEPARATELY. CHRIST, I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO HIM AND SAY OKAY NO, YOU LET ME GET THROUGH BARRIER NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO TO JESUS DIRECTLY AND BECOME A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS DIRECTLY, AND WE SHOULD AND IT'S SO AMAZING YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID MATTHEW ABOUT ABOUT BARRIERS BETWEEN US IN CHRIST. I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS THAT I USED TO THINK WAS THERE BETWEEN ME AND JESUS WAS MY SENTENCE AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT YOU KNOW WHEN I HAD SIN IN MY LIFE AND MEANT THAT GOD DID WANT A THING TO DO THINGS YOU KNOW THAT JESUS WAS TURNING HIS FACE AWAY HE WOULDN'T ANSWER MY PRAYERS AND I HAD TO GET RIGHT WITH HIM BEFORE HE WOULD COME TO ME WITH THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR THAT WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US, BUT JUST TO GO INTO THIS QUESTION MIKE HALL. THERE DEFINITELY BEEN TIMES WHERE I HAVE DOUBTED MY SALVATION AND SOME OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS VOLCANIC DOUBT, THE INITIAL CONVERSIONS BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NOT AS MUCH LITURGY AS THERE IS IN THE LDS CHURCH IN THE LDS CHURCH.

YOU JUMP TO THESE PHYSICAL HOOPS YOU GET BAPTIZED. YOU HAVE HANDS LAID ON YOU TO RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST YOU HAVE HANDS LAID ON YOU TO GIVE YOU THE IRONIC AND HAVING THE KESWICK PRIESTHOOD YOU GO TO THE TEMPLE WHEN YOU GO THROUGH ALL THESE ORDINANCES AND I THINK JUST DOING A LOT OF THESE PHYSICAL THINGS MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT IS A MORE SECURE THING, BUT WITH ME. I JUST I JUST TRUST IN THE MORNING.

IT FEELS YOU COMING FROM A WOMAN BACKGROUND. IT FEELS LIKE A REALLY FLIMSY THING LIKE OH YES, I TRUST IN THE LORD AND THUS I AM SAYING ALL MY SINS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE FORGIVEN. SO I IS THAT POSSIBLE COMING TO MY MIND, ANOTHER QUESTION, ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES ME QUESTION.

SOMETIMES AS I KNOW THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A SANCTIFICATION PROCESS AND SOMETIMES I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT HAPPENING FAST ENOUGH. I FIND MYSELF SINGING IN ALL THINK OKAY MY MY REALLY A CHRISTIAN MAN BECAUSE YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T OVERCOME THIS SIN.

YET OR YOU KNOW I'M STILL STILL DOING SOMETHING WRONG. SO SOMETIMES THE SCIENCE BE ON MY MIND. IT HAS BEEN A LOT LAST LATELY THAN IT USED TO BE IS A NEW CHRISTIAN SO DOESN'T SEEM TO BE PERSISTING VERY MUCH BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY YOU KNOW COMING TO UNDERSTAND HOW SALVATION WORKS.

IT IS CHANGE MY PERCEPTION OF CHRIST DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE NOW I REALIZE HOW AMAZING HIS MERCY IS AND I WANTED TO SUBMIT HIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE CHAPTER 7 VERSES 41 TO 43… JESUS TALKING TO PETER.

HE SAYS A CERTAIN MONEYLENDER HAD TWO DEBTORS ONE OWED 500 DENARII AND THE OTHER 50 AND THEY COULD NOT PAY.

SHE CANCELED THE DEBT OF BOTH KNOW WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MORE.

SIMON ANSWERED THE ONE I SUPPOSE, FOR WHOM HE CANCELED THE LARGER DEBT AND HE SAID TO HIM, YOU'VE JUDGED THIS AS A LATTER-DAY ST. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS TRULY A SINNER. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS RIGHTEOUS, OR LEASE ON THE PATH TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND I DIDN'T THINK THE GUY WAS REALLY FORGIVING MEALS OF ANYTHING THAT BIG AND AND NOW I REALIZE HOW MUCH I MIGHT OFFEND GOD THROUGH MY DAILY ACTIONS, AND YET HE IS FORGIVEN ME SOME OR ALL OF THAT AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS IT GIVES ME HOPE IS JUST SEEING YOU KNOW SOME OF THE STORIES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PETER DENIED CHRIST THREE TIMES PUBLICLY AND CHRIST WERE STILL QUICK TO ACCEPT.

I WHEN HE WAS RESURRECTED AND I ALSO THINK ABOUT THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON WHERE SON CAME BACK AFTER WASTING HIS INHERITANCE AND HE CAME BACK OFFERING TO BE A SERVANT OF THE FATHER PUT A RING ON HIS FINGER AND PUT A ROBE ON AND THEN THREW A PARTY SAYING THAT HIS SON HAD RETURNED SO THERE IS JUST FULL ACCEPTANCE, NO HESITATION AND I GUESS THE OTHER THING THAT JUST GIVES ME A LOT OF HOPE IS JUST KNOWING THAT GOD SAVING OUT OF MORMONISM. THERE IS NO DENYING THAT THERE IS NO DENYING THAT HIS HAND WAS THERE LEADING THE OLD ME OUT AND I DON'T BELIEVE FOR A MINUTE THAT HE PULLED ME OUT FOR NO REASON, OR FOR ME JUST TO FLOUNDER FOR HIM TO FORGET ABOUT ME. I DON'T THINK THAT HE DOES THINGS FOR NO REASON LIKE THAT.

NOW WHEN I WHEN I WHEN I AM DOUBTING YOU HAVE TO ASK MYSELF SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS AND THE BIG ONE IS IN A WAREHOUSE IN MY GOING TO GO AND WHO ELSE AM I GONNA TRUST TO SAVE ME. YOU TRUST MYSELF. I TRIED THAT FOR 32 YEARS AND THAT DIDN'T GET ME ANYWHERE SO IF CHRIST IS NOT MY SAVIOR, HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT I CAN HOPE THAT I HAVE NO HOPE. IF I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR EVEN AN IOTA OF MY OWN SALVATION THAN I HAVE NO HOPE BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN PULL IT OFF. I AM A BEGGAR. I HAVE NOTHING TO PAY THE DEBT THAT I OWE GOD AND IN SO HOPEFULLY IT IS ALL CHRIST, HE IS EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO PUT IT IN IN MORMON TERMS, CHRIST IS BECOME MY EXALTATION.

SHE IS HE IS ALL THAT I NEED NINE MANAGERS KIND OF A TIME THIS SUMMER THINK IT'S AS BELIEVERS IS RIGHT AND PROPER TO EXAMINE OURSELVES ON ALL PAUL TALKS ABOUT THAT SECOND LETTER TO THE CORINTHIANS. HE SAYS BEGINNING IN CHAPTER 13 VERSE THREE.

SINCE GC PROVES THAT CHRIST IS SPEAKING TO ME SHE IS NOT WEAK IN DEALING WITH YOU BUT IS POWERFUL AMONG YOU, FOR HE WAS CRUCIFIED IN WEAKNESS, LIVES BY THE POWER OF GOD. FOR WE ALSO ARE REGION HIM, BUT IN DEALING WITH YOU, WE WILL LIVE WITH HIM BY THE POWER OF GOD EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAITH TEST YOURSELVES OR DO YOU NOT REALIZE THIS ABOUT YOURSELVES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU, UNLESS INDEED YOU FAIL TO MEET THE TEST. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT WE HAVE NOT FAILED THE TEST.

SO THAT THAT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY THAT NUMBER. CHRIST IS CHANGED RIGHT. THE IDEA THAT THE FATHER THE SON LIVES IN THE HUMAN HEART IS A LITTLE SECTARIAN NOTION, THIS IS JOE SMITH SAID, BUT HERE IN THE BIBLE, WE HAVE THE PROMISE THAT THE NOTE HERE IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS IN YOU RIGHT AND LIVING ALIVE AND TO GOD AND NEED TO SANCTIFICATION YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS FEEL IT. YOU MAY NEED TO EXAMINE YOURSELF, BUT I THINK DOING SO IS RIGHT AND PROPER.

WE HAVE THE PROMISE OF SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST JESUS TAGGING THEIR SNARES. I MEAN II COUNT PARK OFFICE OF MAMMOTH ARE MANY GODLY MEN THAT CAME BEFORE US THAT KNOW YOU JUST READ THE SERMONS IN HER AS A SECOND CREDIBLE I CAN REFERENCE JOHN OWEN ARMENTA, JONATHAN EDWARDS. I FORGET.

JUST LIKE HUGE MEN IN THE FAITH THAT JUST REALLY STRUGGLE WITH ASSURANCE SO YOU KNOW FOR SURE WITH ASSURANCE CHRISTIAN SHOULD FEEL GUILTY OR FEEL ALONE OR FEEL ABNORMAL FOR STRUGGLING ALSO. YEAH, LIKE YOU SAID WE DEFINITELY BE EXAMINING OURSELVES AND FOR SO IF ARE SO CONFIDENT IN JESUS THAT WE DON'T EXAMINE OURSELVES TO THE POINT WHERE YOU KNOW WE DO START TO DIP INTO REAL PRACTICES OF SIN AND WE DON'T REALLY WORRY ABOUT IT THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS. I DON'T I DON'T PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT WE COULD LOSE SALVATION BUT I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE YOU KNOW SOMEONE MAY BE DECEIVING THEMSELVES INTO BELIEVING THAT THERE THERE SAVED AND WHEN THEY'RE REALLY NOT SO YEAH THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL CHRISTIANS TO EXAMINE OURSELVES. WE GOT SOME GOOD STUFF. THESE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS, AND THEY WERE THINGS THE MANY WAS A GOOD IDEA ASKING THE GROUP HONESTLY THINK THAT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE DONE A WHILE WAS JUST GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND HAVE AS IMPOSING A GREAT APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHTS ALSO WAS IN A MAGICAL TALKING ABOUT REPENTANCE, BUT IT'S NOT CRASS OR INSENSITIVE BASED ON WHAT I SAID SO IS IN CHINA FINANCING MAKE SENSE SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT WRITING NUMBER YESTERDAY. I'M NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. IF SOMEONE COMES TO CHRIST NO MATTER WHAT TIME IN THEIR LIFE IS BECAUSE GOD IS DRAWING THEM RIGHT AT AS YOU SAID, THERE'S THERE'S BEEN A NEED IN SOME WAYS, THAT WHICH BY WHICH GOD WAS ABOUT DOING THAT. BUT IF SOMEONE IS COMING TO COMING TO CHRIST AT THE END OF THEIR LIFE.

IT'S BECAUSE GOD IS DRAWING THEM OUT BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OF US TRULY COMING TO CHRIST BECAUSE GUNS DRAWN AND NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE OH YOU ARMS AND NOW YOU KNOW LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY THEN IS THAT SOME OF US TRULY COMING TO CHRIST TRUST GOD'S HEART GLAD ABOUT IT IN MY MIND AS I CAN DO THAT. ACTUALLY, ONE THING I REMEMBER AS A SO NORMALLY DO CARRY THE ARK WITH STICKS, BUT IN THAT CASE THERE. ON THE CARTS IN THE ARK THOUGHT THE CART SO NOW.

GOOD NIGHT MAN. PEOPLE THINK I DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE THE STORY ROCKS I CAN REFER THE ANGRY EMAIL BE LIKE ONE YEAR HOSTS SO IS YOUR HAZARD OR HAVE YOUR WIVES ASKED FOR AN AUTOGRAPH IS A FAMOUS ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE WAS THAT HAPPENED AFTER MIDNIGHT, I TURN INTO A MONSTER. IT'S MY OTHER PERSONALITY COMES OUT GOOD. I'M DR PEPPER IS ON HOLD. I THINK I AM ANEMIC EMPORIA AND I BROUGHT IT PROBABLY REALLY GOOD ON THIS QUESTION DR. STU.
