 I wanna, by the way, this is a really quick discussion. Someone sent me a request to go over John 639 because there was something that, I guess they had a question with someone else and just try to give a good understanding of John 639. And the issue with it was that how they interpreted this person believe that John 639 is pretty clear in stating that you cannot lose your salvation. And the verse says, no, that's not what it means. And then I came across recently a few other discussions where someone had mentioned or tried to cover John 639. And the problem with it was that the way they described or the way they interpreted was just, it was what you would call, it was quintessential bad exegesis. And so I want to look at, I wanna put the passage also, but I also wanna look at their explanation of it as well. So let me just put it on the screen first and then let you all see it and then we'll go to their understanding, which this should be pretty quickly though. Now it says in John 639, it says that, and this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me but raise it up on the last day. Now there's a few little oddities in how this is put out, but we'll cover that in a second to make it kind of clear. But while doing so, I want to go over two quick videos that someone else put out. One of them was with Montana Viking and someone alerted me to this and I wanted to kind of piggyback off of this because one of the people that was in his little panel covered this and did an absolute horrible job of explaining John 639. So I'm gonna go ahead and go to the screen and let you all see it. This is Montana Viking up here in the top left-hand corner if you all can see my little cursor and this young brother right here who's been on here before gets to be a little bit contentious, this guy, JP, and Neil who actually watches the channel, this channel is there, he asks a question, what do you do with John 639? So I think their whole discussion at this point is in regards to, I believe I wanna say once saved, always saved as a matter of fact, let me do something that I should have done before. Let me put my little picture here so that I can also just give commentary while I'm there. So let's just go ahead and play what he says and then we'll show you how exactly this is just not very good ex Jesus. Yeah, so Neland, I'm only gonna give you the perspective answer from our worldview and then you can look up the objection to my answer. So just do a little bit of homework. You asked a question in the humble manner, so I'll address it. Then upon addressing it, then you can do your homework and see the objections to my answer because there's an objection to the objection to the objection to the objection. I'll give you the first course meal, food for thought, and then you can, if you ever wanna come on my channel and ask some more questions, you can. All right, so John 639 says this. John 639 says, I will lose none, right? I will, in short, it says I will lose none. 639, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, I will lose none that he has given me. So that's just basically telling us God is not going to lose you, right? Like that's very clear, right? God won't lose us. What does that mean to lose something? Ooh, I lost you. I don't know where this water bottle is. I don't know where it is. It's misplaced. God will never lose you. That is the promise that we have in our world to you. Now, a couple of things. We obviously know that's not what God is talking about. We know the scripture is not talking about that God just loses us like someone loses a pair of keys, a thing like that. But that's what he is saying that the pastor's talking about, that God just won't, that God won't misplace us. It won't be, in other words, if any one of us is lost, it's not God who loses us. That's pretty much his assessment. And let's just see what else he says. And this is the problem. One of the problems also that I have with this sort of not even really good exegesis on his part. And it happens with a lot of people. However, in Second Timothy chapter two, in our worldview, we see that in Second Timothy chapter two, verse 12 says, if we deny him, he will also deny us. Now, I don't even have to go any further. The problem is, is that the question was about John 639. Yeah, that does look like Willie Nelson. And yes, he is taking a light on, he is smoking on the channel. So, but the problem that I have is, we're talking about John 639. The guy asked you about John 639. So what do you do? Not answer John 639. You give an anecdotal response to John 639, but you don't explain it. You don't attempt it. And this happens a lot. He does this quite often. But a lot of people do that because when you come across a passage that seems to maybe stomp you or what have you, then the natural, the knee-jerk response is, let's just avoid the text. Let's go to a text that I'm familiar with that I think makes my point. We'll know this text is important too. Remember, everyone did not have access. He goes, I think he said Second Timothy, everyone did not have access to Second Timothy. So whatever passage that you got, whatever scripture you got, whatever you heard, obviously was sufficient. And this is why, by the way, guys, this is why this is important. Because this is the whole heart of the gospel, us being saved and saved eternally. The issue wasn't that there was no longer, that there was in salvation. There was salvation. There was a way to be kept from the torment of hell. That was already in place through the old covenant way of atonement. The problem was it was temporal and was not eternal. It was not permanent. And there was the potential for a person to lose what they had. To, in other words, have their sins atoned for this year, the following year, not being right standing and their sins not being atoned for. And so, but also that the heart would also be changed because the old covenant did not address the issues of the heart. However, now when crisis come, as well as the Holy Spirit, now two things. One, the permanency of salvation, plus you also get the Holy Spirit in you that your heart is changed. And so that is very important. Let me look at something real quick. I'm getting a, excuse me, I'm getting a little bit of a notice here. So I wanna make sure that, okay, just wanna make sure everything is still okay here. Okay, good. So that being stated, he attempts, or he doesn't even attempt to even address the passage, he goes to another passage. Well, that's just not how we ought to do it, right? Now, this other young brother, he covers it and the way he does it, he deals with it, but he, I don't know if he really explains he gives another answer. Let's listen to what he says. This young brother actually was on the channel some time ago. And he was an opponent of eternal security. So that being said, let's just hear what he says. Present day Jewish disciples, the men that actually followed after him and lived with him while he was on the earth. Not all believers past, present and future, but just his present day Jewish disciples. And let me explain why I believe this. Number one, Jesus explicitly distinguishes the given ones from all who believe. So the verse immediately following John 6.39 says this, and this is the will of him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day. So in verse 39, Jesus talks about all who the Father has given him. And in the following verse, verse 40, Jesus talks about all who would believe in him. So you see what he did. He makes a distinction between all those who were given and those who would believe. Now, I don't understand how he does so in this passage. This passage does not allow that opportunity. So let's just do this. Let's go back to the passage and let's just see if there's any differentiation. Now, obviously the passage, as he says, does not start in chapter, I mean, verse 39. So let's give a little bit of context and then let's see if we get a good understanding of what Jesus is trying to convey. As a matter of fact, let's go to, let's start in, you know what, we can even start in verse 32. No, you know what, let's start in 25. He says, when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here? Jesus answered him and said, literally I said to you, you are seeking me because you saw signs, but because you ate your feel, not because you saw signs, I'm sorry, but because you ate your feel of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you. So now, Jesus's point to them is, in referencing or pointing them towards eternal life and look what he says. He says, then they said to them, what must we do to be doing the works of God? Jesus answered and he said, this is the work of God that you believe in him whom he has sent. So Jesus is telling them in order to get eternal life that you must believe. Are you with me? So verse 30 says, they said to him, then what sign do you do that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? So they're all on the same page. They're interested in believing. He's saying that you must believe to receive eternal life, that's his point. And they're saying, well, what are you gonna do to cause us to believe? What signs, because what are they looking for? They are interested in seeing something that's gonna cause them to believe. Jesus references the manner that they ate from heaven, but he's speaking of something. And of course, he also reiterated him that it wasn't really Moses that fed them, it's really me. Let's get to 35. He says, Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life after referencing and telling them that the bread they ate from heaven was actually from him. He says, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. So again, he's reiterating that believing is the key, which I don't have a problem with. I don't think any believer has a problem with, okay? But I said to you, you have seen me and yet do not believe. You have seen me and do not believe. There's a problem. If you believe, what do you have? You have eternal life. If you do not believe, you don't have eternal life. Their problem is they don't believe. Verse 37. So what does Jesus say? All that the Father gives to me will come to me and whoever comes to me, I will never cast out. Now, I'm not gonna deal with 37 right now. Let's continue for I have come down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And here it is, verse 39. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me but raise it up in the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life and I will raise in the last day. So now this last person's response, his issue was that there's a distinction between verse 39 and verse 40 as though verse 39 is only in regards of those who were given to the Father, I mean, given to the Son. But verse 40 are about a different group of people who believe that makes absolutely no sense. That is looking for a solution to a problem that you can't solve. That is when they get, when someone gives you verse 39, you don't wanna deal with 39. And so you go to some other route to fairness. So let's go to the passage and we'll address both of them with this same way. Now, again guys, we've gotta delve into the Greek wars. So we've all been duly warned. Let's look at the English as well as the Greek. It says, and this is the will. It says, two to a day ashton. So, and now this is, this is to be, as a matter of fact, let me make this even better. Let me go ahead and pull up the, what do I wanna do? Let me pull up the anilinear. And let me give, as a matter of fact, yeah, this should be good enough. Let me know if this is big enough for you guys to see. Let's slide this over, make it a little bit bigger. Let's go to verse 39. And here we go. And so this, now, this, two to is, this is, is from the verb a me to be. So this to be, this is the will. Now this word, the lemma, this is a will. This is a desire. So this is what God's desire. This is the desire of the one, two pimps and tops, which is the one who is sending me, which is the father. So the will of the one who is sending Jesus, me, Jesus, in order that, whenever you see this henna, typically it's telling the reason why the whole purpose of him being, or this happening. And so in this case, the purpose of Jesus being sent or the purpose of what Jesus is speaking of, this is the reason why. This is important right here. He says henna, pond, this is all, every, each, the whole. Okay. Now, make sure you also track along with me. I've got the English below on this in a linear portion. So all of the ones whom were given this word, the doken, it is the perfect tense of the Greek word didamy. Now remember what I said the perfect tense was the perfect tense is a completed action in the past. It has current and ongoing ramifications in this regard. And so he says all of the one, or this is the reason why I came in, in order that all or each of the ones that were given to me, moi, which is to me, not, and here's that word, not apaleso. This word is used to destroy, to ruin, to lose. Now, he takes it, this other fellow in the first video clip takes it as that, as though I'm saying that, I don't know, that this watch, where did I put my watch at? I lost it. In other words, he's saying that God or that Jesus will not misplace us. He won't lose us. No, no, no, that's not what it's saying at all. What this passage is saying that all that were given, now by the way, let's go back and look at something real quick. I want you to look at this. It says X out two. This word out two, if you look to the left, the highlighted word for out two is the word nothing. That's not really what the word should say, but we're trying to find the right way to convey it in English. So, look what it says, out two, it is it. In this regard, it would be it. Well, why would it, it doesn't make any sense. Well, it's X out two or from it or out of it. In other words, he will not lose any out of it or none in it will be destroyed or face ruin. I will not have ruined or destroyed out of it. This is the word X, which is out of or from. In this case, it's gonna be out of. So, I will not lose out of it. Well, what's the it that's referring to? The it that's being referred to, because it's in the same case, is those that were given, okay? So, when Jesus says, let's go back to the English, and this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose none of all that has given me. So, the none that's being lose that out two, that's referenced to here, is out of those that were given, okay? Are y'all with me? It might be a little bit difficult, but he's saying that he will not lose not one none out of it. And the reason why we say it is because he's referring to the whole of those that were given. I won't lose not one nothing of what was given. Are you with me? And it's not to say that he will be the one that will misplace, why is it so bright over here? That he will be the one that will misplace them. No, that is not the point that he's making. The point that he's making that any of those that are in the it, which is that what was given, none of them will be lost. None of them will suffer ruin. None of them will be destroyed. None of them will perish. Let's continue to the next verse, verse 40. For this is the will of my father that every, now, by the way, the reason why that four is very important. Let me go back up to four, I'm missing it. The reason why this particular part is important because now he's given an explanation. By the way, he says, he's gonna raise him up in the last day, verse 40. He says, he says, two type for this is the will of the father. Two type, two type, two type, two type, two type, this is the will of the father of mine. In order that, and there's a word in order that, this is the reason why in order that positive, all of everyone, now, this is the one that are seen, that's looking, now, by the way, the one that are seeing, this is in the participle form. So these are those that are actively seeing. So those that are seeing the son and believing. Now, this is this exegetical chai. So it's the exact same thing that's happening. They're seeing and believing. These are folk, cause what was the point? They ask originally for something to see, right? Now, so anyone that's seeing and believing, so if you, so now the greater point is, if you are believing, and there's this word, pistuan, which by the way, it's exact same word this used in John 316. This is the word that's typically describing a believer, someone that's in a believing state. Ha pistuan meaning that they are currently believing. And so look what he says, the believing ones, the ones that are believing in him, AKA they have, they have present tense life into the ages, eternal life, okay? So now, let me go ahead and remove this. Let's hide the inlender and go back to the actual Greek and let's just put it together. So what he says, and this is the will of him who sent me, the will of God who sent Jesus is that Jesus should lose none of the ones that were given to him. None of the ones that were given to him, he will not lose, but all of the ones that were given, because remember, he's referring back to the it, the it, the antecedent of the it is the ones that were given and he will raise all of them up on the last day. And then he gives greater clarity. He says for or since, this word for or since or gar, look at the bottom left-hand corner, it is for, since, then or indeed. Now make that fit. So he'll say, so all the ones that have been given to me, I will lose none of them since indeed, since indeed for, then this is the will. So what he does is he greater, he summarizes what he's stating. He summarizes and says for or since this is the will of my father that everyone who looks on the sun and believes in him should have eternal life and I will raise him in the last day. Okay, are you with me? Now, someone can say, by the way, listen, grow up. Okay, this is the day that, that, if you want to have a conversation, have the conversation, but Jesus coming, make sense out of what you're saying instead of just saying, this is false doctrine. Let's talk about it. Why would I want to talk to you about it if you don't make, if you make absolutely no sense in your, and that's the problem that we have guys. We have a bunch of people running around here who don't understand what X of Jesus is, who don't understand the whole point of reading of Bible interpretation. And so what happens is this, they just make statements without defending their point. So here's the question. And we've got a few minutes before I have to depart, but if you disagree, where was the interpretation of verse 39 and 40, or even the previous verses, where did I go wrong? What was stated incorrectly? Do not go over to this passage or that passage. We're dealing with this passage. But there is, you won't be able to. So the problem is this. The problem is this, when someone is asking you to give a passage or to exegete a particular passage, by the way, if you were to go to some sort of Bible college or seminary and they asked you, because this happens often, especially if you're taking a Hebrew class or a Greek class, they're gonna ask you to exegete this passage, right? They're not gonna ask you to exegete the entire book. And now they may ask you to exegete it, sometimes in light of other passages, or just what does this passage mean on its face? Just by itself. Now, sometimes that passage may give a problem because it may seem to be in conflict with another passage. That's fine. That's fine. But in this regard, wait a second. So you just got on and the first thing you wanna do was to say it's wrong. Brother, I'm not sure if you're male or female. I'm not sure if you're male or female. But let me help you out. This has nothing to do with the Bible. This has everything to do with growing up and maturing. Don't walk into the room and answer questions that you don't know the answer. Give answers that you don't know the question or the questions about. Don't do that. Don't walk in and jump in on something that you have no idea what's being talked about then. Don't do that. It makes you look bad. It's not a mature thing to do. It's not a wise thing to do. Now I've gotta decide that I wanna listen to what you're saying after you've ignorantly, and I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm trying to help you out, young brother. You walk in and make a statement and you want someone to turn around and listen to you and you don't know what we're talking about. Now we're talking about John 639. If you can answer John 639, answer it. Refute what I've just stated. That's all. You stated you didn't hear anything. Well then why would you answer a question after never hearing what we're talking about? Don't do that. Now back to this. And you all forgive me if I seem to be a little bit sharp, but there's a reason for me being sharp because this is the whole point. Now you said you've heard the other videos, well fine. When you address those videos, address it on those videos, but tell me the passages that I've covered that I've been in error on, that I've given the exegesis for. There's a reason why we covered the, I put it on the screen. I show you what I'm saying. I give you the Greek. I let you see the bottom left hand corner what the word actually means. Let you guys go back and address it to see, okay Corey, I think you're wrong on this. I think you're right on this. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. And then you can turn around and ask questions later. But to say I think you're wrong, well you have no, well here's what I was told. I don't know what your real name is. By the way, are you a male or a female? Jesus is coming. I was told this and I'll just respond this way. And if a person doesn't like it, that's fine. But chess champ says, be sharp, Corey. You say we can lose our salvation. I say not according to the Greek. Now your issue is gonna be the Greek then. But then if your issue or anyone else's issue is the Greek, well then guess who you have a problem with? Not me, I didn't give you the Greek. I didn't put the Greek in the pan. I would listen. I wish the whole thing was written in English to begin with. But guess what? And it may pain some of you all to know this that English was not the language of choice in that day. As a matter of fact, we did not have English as a language at all. And so when people come back and say, you should not use the Greek, well then tell God that. Presume the tell God why he made Greek the language of choice for the New Testament. Well, but the New Testament wasn't written in Greek. It was written in Hebrew. No, it wasn't. We can't find one Hebrew manuscript, one early Hebrew manuscript of the New Testament. Nor an air make. Don't come back and say it was written in air make. These folks spoke and wrote it in air make. No, that's not what happened at all. So they could have just as easily put it in Hebrew or Greek. How do I know? Because the Old Testament is in Hebrew. If they wanted to be in Greek, they would have made the whole thing in Greek. Anyway, listen, I know you come in love. I'm just trying to help you out, brother. I know you come in love. I'm trying to help you out. I don't want you to do the wrong thing and trying to do the right. I want you to do the right thing the wrong way. And what you did was the wrong way, which is fine, which is fine. Understand, I am going to give a sharp rebuke to someone who makes a statement without any backing of it, okay? Now, that's true to why Ephesians 511. Why do you guys keep changing your avatars? You guys are throwing me off. You change your avatar. Now I'm looking for something else, okay, this. Anyway, so the point that he's making here, this is what Jesus says, and this is what the Greek says. The question is, did Jesus understand the rules of Greek? Well, I think he did. Did John understand Greek? I think he did. So, because it was the link with Franka, he says, of all the ones that the father's given me in that whole, and he's referencing them. He's referencing all of those that the father has given me. Of that group, all that he's given me, I won't lose one, not every last one, but I will raise them in the last day because this is the will. So verse 40 is given a description as to why, he says four, let's put on the screen, four, this is the will of my father, that everyone who looks and believes on the sun, all those who are looking and believing on the sun, those are the ones who should have eternal life and shall be raised in the last day. Now, let's continue a little further with this tract if you want to believe. If you doubt that these aren't the same group, look at what he says in verse, let's go to verse 44, 44 through 47. He says, no one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws them and I will raise them up in the last day. So, so far we see the people that are gonna be raised on the last day, the folks that are being drawn, the folks that are believing and the folks that are looking and singing. Now, my contention, they're all the same people, the folks that are being drawn, the folks that are seeing him and the people that are believing are all the same ones and Jesus just said that he will raise all of them up in the last day. So, there's no distinction. Let's continue. Verse 45, it is written in the prophets and they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard and learned from the father comes to me. Look what he says. Not that anyone has seen the father except he who was from God, he has seen the father. Look what he says. Truly, truly I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. That statement was very important. Whoever believes, let's break that down since we're here. He says, the believing ones, there's that word again, ha pistuan, the believing ones. Look down at the bottom left-hand corner. This is the word to believe or to trust and this is the present active participle. Present active participle means those who are believing. It's like in English we put an I-N-G on it. So those that are believing it's the exact same word that's used in John 3.16. They have what? Look what he says. They have, okay, this is present tense, has, has. If I say Joe Bob or Bob or Mary or Felicia or whoever you are, if I say that you have or has present tense, you have it right now, then you have it right now. That's the reason why there's rules to grammar, okay? Now, he says that they have what? Life into the ages. Zoane Ionian, Zoane Ionian. So therefore, therefore, if you are seeing, believing, and have been drawn and have been given, you will be brought up raised in the last day and you don't have to fear. He says at this very moment, what do you have a life that goes into eternity? Now, for someone that wants to refute me, that's fine. I have no problem if a person wants to refute what I just said, use the text, use this text. Someone's gonna come back and go to, no, listen, you have to apologize, but Caesar, okay. I remember you, okay, I remember you. As a matter of fact, I think you came on before. So Caesar, what you do is, you don't have to apologize. What do we say? This is how we say in the hood, we say it in prison too. We say it on the streets. If you know better, do better. I'm not trying to belittle you or anything like that or whatever, but if I want to attack a person's point, deal with that point. So, where in, and I've got about two minutes left. So, where in, yeah, this is Liveron. Yeah, I was sitting here and I was covering some things. I got a meeting in just a little bit and I said, you know what, let me answer a person's question. By the way, a lot of times these videos that we do come from someone sending in a request, a question. I think every video that I've done, not every, but virtually every video that I've done over somebody else, over Troy Black or this Jalen guy, or including Marcus Rodgers, someone has sent me a video to ask for comment or to clarify or a passage. So, oftentimes that's how it is and I might be sitting here and I'm just dealing with it. Yeah, they're my man, my attendant, bye, what's going on brother? And so, what are you saying? No sir, young fellow. No, it's not a waste of time. Everything that Paul is saying is backing what I'm saying, but let's just say, let's just say if I'm going to read what Paul is saying and I'm gonna read what Jesus is saying. Now, I believe what both of them are saying, by the way, he didn't write over two thirds of the Bible. Okay, he wrote just or even the New Testament. He wrote just under half of the New Testament because he didn't write Hebrews. If anyone's thinking that he wrote Hebrews, he did not. But, Jesus said this, Jesus is pretty clear. He's pretty infatuated. And all Jesus is doing is piggybacking off of what the old covenant atonement was. After your sins were atoned for, you stood in right standing. Until the person that you offended requires more. Well, in this regard, God didn't require more because what Jesus did was sufficient, as what Paul says. That's what the book of Hebrews says. So, no, what Paul is talking about is us also checking ourselves, making Paul says, let every man examine himself to make sure that he has Christ, because there's a lot of people and you would agree, young brother, that there's a lot of people who believe that they are saved and are not. There are a lot of people who think they are Christian and are not, and so Paul says, I don't want you to go around thinking that you are. Make sure that you are. Jesus says, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, he's giving a warning. His warning is not, hey, I used to know you. We used to be homies. We used to be buddies. Now you act like you don't know me. Why did it pop into my head? Some of you folks hold enough to know what I'm talking about, but anyway, he didn't say you used to know me. He said, I never knew you. I never knew you. And so since I never knew you, it was never a point to say that we used to have a relationship and now we don't, or that I walked away. What about someone who's backslidden? The word backslider is not even the New Testament. It's in regards to Israel twice in the old covenant and specifically regarded to Israel about what they've done. So now that being stated, someone turned, what'd you say? Eternal life is not always talking about being forever, but the quality of life. No, that's not true. That's not true, James. I don't mean to disagree with you, but that's not true. The word, let's put it back on the screen. This word right here. Zoane, that's the word for life, Ionian. When you see this phrase together, this is life into the ages. That's literally what this means. Life into the ages, and so this is living into the ages. So especially in this context, you have life into the ages. When do you stop having this life? Someone who disagrees, and this matter of fact, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go ahead and extend myself just a little bit longer. If you think that that's not what it means, or you disagree, go ahead and tell me. Caesar, go ahead and tell me. You said you've been following, so please tell me why this is not, at what point in time is this life that you have forever will stop? You said go over John 17. Oh, because you're talking about how he talks about two different, okay. In the prayer, let's go there. Let me put it on the screen. In the prayer, I get your point. I think your point, you're missing my point. John 17. When Jesus, and you're probably talking about John 17, 12 more than likely. So now this passage right here, John 17, 12, while I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except for some destruction, that the scripture might be fulfilled. Now, someone's point in this regard might be that, because Jesus, and Jesus clearly is talking about the disciples here at this point. So are those the only ones that's ever been given? Well, you can't make that fit in John 6, because he didn't say that. There's no differentiation between the John 6, because Jesus is speaking to the whole crowd. As a matter of fact, in John 10, Jesus talks about those that were given. He's speaking about all. In John 10, Jesus is clearly talking about all of his sheep, and all of his sheep have been given to him. So there is no way to get, because he's speaking about them, in this regard that have been given, does not mean those are the only ones that have ever been given, nothing else has ever been given. What must a person, why must a person repent? What repent is part of salvation. There is no such thing as a person who is a Christian who is not repentant, baptized, and I don't mean water baptized, I mean baptized in the spirit, who is not a believer, who is not a disciple. All of those are the same thing, okay? So yeah, you have to repent. If you, repenting simply means that I have changed my mind about sin in this case. Well, if you haven't changed your mind about sin, well then why in the world would anyone who hasn't changed your mind about sin ever put faith in Christ? They wouldn't. I see myself as a horrible person, someone who is not qualified for salvation. I need salvation, and so because of my sin, and the debt that's owed, I couldn't pay it. And I need to be paid because I recognize how fall of a person I am. Well, once my mind has changed and I place my faith in Christ, well then guess what, I'm saved. And so you cannot be a Christian without having, not having first, or at the same time, who knows how the order goes, without having repented of your sin, not recognizing, or as the Bible says as John says, having confessed your sin, acknowledged that you sin. If you have not acknowledged that you sin, you cannot be a Christian, okay? Now tell me how it helps your case. Tell me how it helps your case. Oh, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry. And so, let's see. By the way guys, this was nothing that was put up to where any of you all were late or anything like that I was just sitting here. I said, let me go ahead and just push it out real quick. So none of you would have gotten a notification prior to this. Michael, you do a whole lot, which by the way, there's a reason why I don't sit. You place 30, 40, 50 different comments throughout the videos in the comment section that I'm not going to answer all of those. But here's your chance. You got an issue with John 639. Go ahead and make your statement known. I said John 639 is clear. It is clear that Jesus says that of all the ones in that group out too, which is out of it, what's the it, the antecedent of the it are the ones that have been given to Jesus. By the way, I did not even elaborate on that enough. I did not elaborate on that enough. So let's go back to it. And this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing. And I said this whole nothing. If you all look at the screen where it says I have highlighted on the left, I'm gonna change my highlighting because I don't think it's clear enough. It's bright enough. But it says on the left, it says nothing. But look on the Greek side, there are three words that's highlighted. May ec out too. The ec out too is a from or out of it. Well, what's the from or out of it that's referring to? Notice what comes before that in the English it's afterwards but in the Greek, this word didokin. The dookin is the perfect tense of the word given or to give the didn't mean. And remember the perfect tense is, the perfect tense is a completed action in the past. And so those that had been given to, and here's gonna be a problem with some people, those that have been given to him in the past, not one, not one single solitary one that had been given to Jesus in the past. So the question is, have the believers in Christ been given in the past? Have they been given to him in the past? Well, yes, Paul even makes that statement clear in Ephesians. We see that in Romans. And so it is clear. By the way, every single book, and it's gonna bother some folks when I say this, but every single book in the New Testament, save to third John and Philomon, speak of God giving people to him prior to their existence. This issue of election predestination is brought up in every book of the New Testament. And so I get some folks will be bothered by that. And believing so, by the way, guys, does not make a person a Calvinist. Calvinists aren't the only ones that believe in election and predestination. And Michael, no, we are covering, we are covering John 639. We are covering John 639, guys. And so again, that's the issue that I have. A lot of you guys, we hear a passage, we're talking about this passage, and oh, I see what you're saying, I see what you're saying. A lot of these passages can't be refuted by you, because again, I'll say, if you say you can lose your salvation, I say not according to the Greek, the Greek goes against what you're saying, then what do we do? We go find something else. Well, what about this passage? Well, we'll deal with that passage later. But John 639, am I incorrect? He says, oh, I see what you said, you said John 1720. John 1720, okay, let's go there. Since I slandered your point earlier, I do not ask for these only, but also for those who believe in me through the word, that they may all be one just as you, father are in me and I in you, that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. Okay, I'll say this. I don't know that I like the passage, I actually like the passage, but I don't think that that would seal it for a lot of the other people who disagree. And again, guys, this is the reason why I put this up. This is the reason why, this is the core, you keep covering this issue of eternal security. Yeah, I keep covering this issue of eternal security. Y'all do realize that is the reason why Jesus came. That is the reason why he came. Let me say it again. The reason why Jesus came is for eternal security. Let me say it again for those in the back, those in the rafters, those that gonna come in late, those that might wanna rewind this, those that might wanna turn the volume up and hear it again, those that might wanna play it backwards and try to interpret what I'm saying in a different way. The reason why Jesus came is, is so that we would have eternal security. That's the whole point. If you have an issue with this doctrine, you have an issue with Jesus arrival. Why do I say that? Is that inshallah? Sure it is. Remember the Jews under the old covenant had salvation. In other words, they were saved from the tortures of hell to come if they abided, if they would adhere to the day of atonement. Okay, so now once that happened, they were in right standing. Their sins were atoned for for one year guys, one year. And so Jesus having this discourse, and this is the problem that I have with you guys that disagree with this, you do not deal with the text that I'm covering. Because another passage doesn't make sense to you, throw out the rest of it. It's not good, that's not being a good theologian. It's not been a good Bible student. We are tracking with the order, the progression, the history of the Bible. And we know that the Jews were giving a way to, were given a way to have their sins atoned for by the day of atonement. Three things were there. This priest who would take all the sins of the people, place them on the head of the scapegoat and send the sins of the world away, which is what Jesus does. Look, the Lamb of the God. Look y'all, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. That's Jesus. Jesus plays a part of the scapegoat and the priest also the sacrificial offering whose blood atones for sin without the shedding of blood. There would be no remission of sin. And so if it works for them one year and there needed to be this sacrifice year after year after year, those of you folks who wanna turn to Hebrew 10, 26, 27, remember the first part, Hebrews 9, 10 and 11, where he's talked, not even not 11, but 9 and 10, he's talking about this sacrifice needed to be done year after year after year. And then he says if that sacrifice which needed to take place year after year could have done it, the writer says there'd be no need for what Jesus is doing. But since he couldn't, Jesus comes, pays a sacrifice year after year after year. Jesus gets on the cross year after year after year. Jesus dies for our sin year after year after year. Is that right? No, he dies one time. Why? Because that's all that's required. His blood was sufficient. And that's what John 316 states. John 316 states that all of the believing ones shall never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever perish. Why would he make that statement if they could in light of or in view of what they could do in the past? They could perish. By the way, Ephesians of this issue was promulgated by the Catholic Church. Y'all wanna find some, to blame the Catholic Church that kind of made this or popularized this, them. They wanted you to repent before them. They wanted you to confess before them that you needed to atone, that you need pittance in their presence. Kept their coffers full, kept them in power. You looked at them for power. No, no, no, we don't have that issue now. Now you can go directly before them, but you cannot go to God. You could not go to God in an unclean fashion. Now because you've got this priest who's done the heavy lifting, done the work, you can. So the point of the matter is he did. Now, he's speaking of, he's speaking one of the tribulation. So those that are, that those, the enduring ones in the tribulation will be saved. But his point in saying so, even if you were to take that to relate it to salvation, which is fine, because there's another passage that says the same thing in regards to salvation. Even if you did, he's saying these enduring ones will be saved. Who's the one that'll be saved? The enduring ones. What are we already told about Christians? We are enduring. That's that participle that's added, that present active participle. So we are in the state of enduring just like we're in the state of believing, just like we are in the state of following, just like we're in the state of hearing. Are you with me? And so all of this runs together. And so when someone says, why are all these passages that seem to warn us about not believing or this and that, so that you can check yourself? Because again, the vast majority, I'll go out on them and say this, I think, no, not that even, I don't on them. The vast majority of people who call themselves Christian are not. The vast majority of people who call themselves Christian are not. The Oprahs of the world, the Will Smith, I don't know if he still calls himself one. All of these folks who call themselves Christian, they're not. And we allow people to present a false image of what a Christian is. And so then we say, wait a second, if that person was a Christian, they lost their salvation. No, they never was a Christian in first place. Are you with me? And so before I get ready to close, this is only supposed to be about a 15, 20 minute spiel. So before I close, we covered John 639. Do I have anyone on the floor before I close that? And I'm gonna have a bunch in the comments section. Where are you at? I gotta find you. Because you're gonna put up 1,000 comments afterwards. And so I'm gonna ask, I'm gonna give you one last chance. Michael, am I saying it right? Bruce, Bruce, I don't know if I'm saying it right. But Michael, Michael B, you're going to give a comment afterwards. You're gonna litter. You're gonna litter the comments section with your comments. Here is your chance. Where is my interpretation of John 639 wrong? I literally went through the scriptures and broke down every word and went through it and explained the meaning. They were at the bottom so that anyone could see. And so one last time, I'll do this fairly quickly. If you have bitterness and unforgiveness in your heart after salvation, you can lose out. I know you can't understand it, but you are dead wrong. Okay, fine. Tell me according to this passage where I'm wrong. If not, we got a contradiction. I'm saying that the person that's still living in bitterness and unforgiveness was never saved to begin with, A.D. Cherry. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying, no, you're dead wrong. Now, explain to me according to this passage. I'm gonna put it up. If you came in late, I'm gonna put the passage up again. We'll go through this and then we'll be out. By the way, we'll cover this or we'll cover this. We'll be on live again this evening, but if you have a discrepancy with what I'm saying, say it, speak now or forever, hold your peace. Here it is. Oh, I'm sorry. By the way, let me give you the warning. All right. Tuta de estente tal telema tu pimpsum tas, which is for this is or to be the will of the one who sent me. This is the will, this is the desire of the father who sent me. Hina panha adedokin in order that all the ones that he sent to me may apaleso, which is not perish, not lose, not ruin, not be destroyed, X out of it. What's the it? Those who have been given a la but anesthesia so, which is I will raise it. There's a word it. What's the it? What is the it? The it is those that have been given. I will raise it ante excite, which is the last, hey, Mary, which is the last day, which is the last day. All right. So I will raise them in the last day. Question is, Michael or AD or whomever else, where was I wrong? He's saying that he won't lose not one, not that he will misplace us. No, that's not the point that he's trying to make that some people in a silly fashion make. No, it's not what he's saying. He's saying that none in it will be lost. No one in it was the it, that group that was given, none in it will be lost, will perish, will come, will be destroyed or come to ruin. That's what that word, let's put it back on the screen so you all can see I'm not making up a word. That's what this word right here. Apolesso means, look at the bottom left hand corner, means to destroy, ruin, to lose. So no one in that group, no one in the group of those that have been given, who's been given? All the believers, how do you know you've been given? Well, when you confess Christ, you'll know then. So we don't have to go around figuring out who are the ones that have been given, we don't have to do that. But all of us who are Christian, who are believing, all of us, all of us, he says, none of us will be lost out of it. None of us will be lost out of what the given. None of us will face ruin out of it. No one will be destroyed. None of us will perish out of it. Now, I will take you all's silence as either your momentary concession or the fact that you are saying, you know what, you're right, Corey. I repent and I'm saying repent. I repent of the fact that I have not understood that the reason why Jesus came is that we can have life eternal, that we can have everlasting life and we don't have to worry about if we indeed are truly safe, we don't have to ever worry about losing it. Amen.
