 We interrupt our program to bring you this important message Okay guys, there was I was not even going to To do this at this point um, I was getting ready for The uh, the video that we have scheduled for this evening, which I recommend that you all show up whether you are married Whether you are single whether you are looking We're gonna cover a lot of topics Dealing with relationships From both sides from the man side from the woman side from the single side and so forth Be joined later by uh, germane from that christian fam channel Uh, I think is going to be interesting as a matter of fact if anyone wants to come on and talk With us ladies single ladies married ladies men women whoever Be sure to be there five p.m. Central, but I want to cover something because It is really it's not bothering me But it's just one of those things that you know, you have to kind of labor for For the body and this is one of those things that really it shouldn't be But it's kind of like how my wife put it to me She'll explain something she's a teacher and she'll explain something to one of the students And they'll turn around she'll go through the equation She'll show them the formula and what will they do they will turn around and tell her no Do you understand? Um, do you agree do you understand the rule? Yes, so is this the right answer? No, why because just because I don't want to be the answer That's literally guys. What's happening when you Talk about this issue of a christian believing and so What I want to do is I want to Share something with you an email from someone It's not a personal email And so you'll see the name of the person who I'm talking with but rather than who I'm talking to I want you to look at The the crux of the conversation It's keep coming up and then it'll always be this case and I do not think that because I explain it or I'm so whatever that it is going to end up amounting that someone is going to or that I'll I'll put I'll put to bed forever the issue of one saved always save or whether you can lose your salvation So this is always going to be an issue It's always going to be a be a be a problem. Why because it was always a problem even back then We've got scriptures literally talking to people about Or trying to convince people what Jesus did was Enough it was sufficient and it was finished So what I want to do without that being said I want to go ahead and get into this This email and I want to just just run through it and then I want to put something out there now before I do though When you If a person knows let's say I'm gonna use the old testament the old covenant atonement and the way that Christ atoned for us If a person showed up For the day of atonement or if a person was even there at the cross They literally saw the sacrifice happening. They saw the the sacrificial offering either under the old covenant Or they actually saw Jesus being crucified Even those a few days later Knowing that the body is missing and then harkening back to what he said Just because they knew that and believed that you all and I'm gonna I'm gonna look for you guys for your comments in the uh In the comment section in the chat section. I want you all to tell me this Just because the person saw that and they knew what they saw Was that enough for that person to be saved? Let me ask that question again If a person actually was an eyewitness to jesus being Sacrifice or in the old covenant to seeing the sacrificial offering And god accepting the sacrifice Was that enough if they saw it and believed that yeah god did sacrifice that god did accept that was that enough Was it enough to see jesus being on the cross dying and then knowing a few days later three days later that his body was risen Was that enough for a person to be saved? So I want to look at your you all's responses. See what you all say Rightly divided network says no Let's see anyone else Craig Ferguson says no Ivan says no Mr. K. Uh, he said if so the Pharisees would be saved Jermaine says I don't believe seeing it was enough Let's see what else you all say so far. I'm getting nothing but nose. I'm getting nose. Correct Correct just because you saw it and just because you knew it happened That wasn't enough now. Here's the next question. Here's the bigger question What was required for those people on the day of atonement under the old covenant? And those people who know about christ either then at the at the foot of the cross and then subsequently at Resurrection and then even us now. What is the requirement? More than just knowing about it. What's the requirement for us to be safe To believe anyone else faith faith so That's it believing faith As my my friend from Iowa says faith you have to believe you have to believe you Faith well faith and work well, let's just say faith and faith produces the works But faith you have to believe you have to believe you have to believe Faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith faith They're the same words trust you have to trust you have to believe you have to have faith now The problem with faith and believe is they get kind of kind of generic and sometimes they get lumped up with other things For example believe what kind of believe I can believe head knowledge that something is something But that's not the same as trusting something right trust means like I believe this chair can support me Well, that doesn't mean anything but trust means I sat down in it I let it bear me. Are you with me faith? Well faith in what it kind of generic almost mystical almost spiritual right some kind of spookiness to it But trust for some people kind of kind of closes the door right so Trust is what's required and granted this word that she used the the word that we find is the word pistol Which is it's the same as trust faithably. Okay, so now I want to share this conversation that we have and I Hope this brother doesn't mind me sharing it. It's an email He has made similar comments in the chat section and in common section So and it's not personal so I want to kind of go over this and let you guys see what we're talking about here, okay? So the first question he says is this let me see if I can expand this He says the question we need to ask this regarding the John 1028 challenge is do we hear his voice and follow when we hear it? Hearing and following him is the condition notice What he says is the condition for not being plucked out of his hand and being given to eternal life now Guys the problem with that is this It looks like this person is putting on a condition Yes, and no They are adding a condition. You don't find that in the text, but it is implicit in the John 1028 text But he's not really adding to the text because of what is spoken of earlier in John 10 we'll cover in a second So let me go back to it And so he says example when when we hear the Holy Spirit reminding us to not look upon a woman with lust Do we follow if we hear his voice and so forth so now? Example if we as believers hear the Holy Spirit tell us after the fact that we shall not drink alcohol So anyway, he's saying are we trusting this is his definition of someone following So I give him this person an example My example is Bob the sheep. Okay a sheep named Bob. That's one of us Bob is one of Jesus's sheep Here's what John 10 definitively tells us about Bob one. He hears and follows Jesus We'll look at that in a second the tense of the verb Indicate that this that this is continuous. We'll look at that in a second Bob will the second thing that we learned about Bob this sheep is that Bob will never perish That is as clear cut as it can be the possibility of loss of salvation is foreclosed And so his response was this because again people tend not to want to be wrong People you can give them all the evidence before them and they still won't believe what you're saying in the face of evidence Without bringing up other evidence to but there to butchers what they're saying. So anyway, he says Are you sure that Bob continuously without interruption hears and follows his heavenly shepherd? Are you such a Bob and so my response? Let's see. Did he say something else? I agree with you that it is continuous which proves that it is not a one-time event Okay, so he's saying that our belief is not a one-time event. I did not say that belief is a one-time event I said that belief occurs that you enter into a state of continual belief one time So the point of entrance is one time, but it carries for it carries forth continually It is a it is a constant hour by hour day by day serenity to the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us through the word of God As we continuously say yes to the Holy Spirit and follow him We are given eternal life, which is Jesus himself. So he says as we continually follow We are given eternal life. So as we notice what he's saying as we Continually follow we are given it's almost like he's placing a condition. So now Here's my response Here is what Jesus said about all of his sheep. He uses not cover this this again He says which is the he uses this tense of a Cousin a cousin, which is the future active indicative form of here We'll look at that in a second meaning they will be hearing in verse 26 27 so now His response to that and we'll cover it again. He says I believe another word for Bob is perfection Are we as sheep perfected and without sin without interruption? That's not what I'm saying and he's clearly Misunderstanding what I am saying. I said so you are just dead set against eternal security in spite of the clear reading of the scripture so the issue is this guys and I want to I Want to cover this and make it clear because the question that I have in the thumbnail Is Are these Christians who don't believe are these believers who don't believe? Remember what's required what you all said and we know it's true Knowing something happened and even believing that what happens works. That's one thing but trusting it in the sense that you have placed all of you Under the auspice under the control of what you're trusting in like for example me sitting in this chair I have I have entrusted this chair with my weight now There might be some times where I might feel a little bit uneasy I might fall a little bit to the side move to the side of what have you And I might you know get a little wayward But my overall trust my trust in what he has done and that what Christ has done has been sufficient I believe that's what he's talking about so now Let's go to chapter 10 of John and I'm gonna show you another passage in John and this is all Jesus speaking So my issue is going to be are we believing Jesus or as a believer do we believe Jesus because if you don't believe Jesus? Does that mean that you are not a believer if you don't trust Jesus? Can you say that you are a Christian so now I want you guys to follow me especially if you if there's anyone in the In the chats who doesn't think That loss of salvation is is foreclose if you believe that you can lose salvation I really want you to pay attention to this. Okay, so now let's go to let's go to the to the scriptures here Let's start where Well, let's start in verse one truly truly I say to you He who enters who you does not enter the sheep fold by the door But climbs in by another way that man is a thief and a robber But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep was speaking about he's speaking about Jesus, right? Verse three he says to him the gatekeeper opens The sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leaves them out So now what did he just say? He says the sheep hear his voice. What will the sheep do according to this passage? Rather than looking anywhere else because if anywhere else in the Bible contradicts this passage Then we've got a contradictory Bible and we are just all throw the Bible away if we're gonna have all these different contradictions So whatever we're gonna read is not going to nullify what we're reading in chapter 10 Are you all with me? So let's go back to the passage and finish reading. He says To him. I'm sorry to the sheep the sheep hear his voice No, if ends but about about that the sheep will hear his voice Look what he says and he calls who is at this call as Jesus the shepherd He calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out look at verse four and five when he has brought out all When he has brought out all of his sheep I mean all of his own he goes before them and the sheep follow him Why for they know his voice now? I want you to understand and pay close attention to verse five Listen to verse five. All right You all sit on the screen with you and I'm not in the Greek yet The English is more than sufficient to give you the understanding verse five a Stranger meaning someone other than Jesus They will not follow are you with me a stranger? They will not follow now Here's where guys. I'm going to cover some Greek again remember when I said that there is what's called an emphatic negation in Greek Which is you can say that something without question. It is impossible for this to happen You cannot nullify this passage. You cannot nullify this statement You can do what's called an emphatic negation in Greek Which is where you have a double negation the word who means no or not or never same with with the word may no or not And then a subjunctive which is somebody that says I might do some of they made the possibility And so if you have two negations in front of the subjunctive Then it means it is impossible for any future act to nullify that now Why do I say that because look over here and Make sure my picture is not in the way He says they will not follow in verse 5 He says who may Achaloo face Susan this Achaloo face Susan, which is a tongue twister is a subjunctive I'm sorry. Actually. Actually. It's another way. It's a future active in indicative Which is still emphatically negated by the double negation who may so he says they will never ever ever ever ever ever ever Impossibility they will never in the future Follow someone are you seeing that Jesus says that a stranger? They will never ever follow Okay So the sheep is who Jesus is talking about the sheep will hear him and they will follow Jesus He says the same sheep they will never in the future. This is a future This is a future tense. Let me go back to it guys. So you can look at the bottom Make sure it's not me saying this. This is the future tense future active indicative meaning this is future They will never in the future Follow this stranger Okay, so I don't know how much clearer this can be but These other Jews they weren't getting it. So Jesus He he's long suffering. He's bearing with them because obviously it's not just for their sake to hear it It is for others for those who are going to read this later. So he says Truly truly I say to you I am I am the door of the sheep all who come before me are thieves and robbers But the sheep did not come to listen to them I am the door if anyone enters by me he what he will be saved and Will go in and out and find pasture the thief comes only to kill steal and destroy I came that they may have a life and have it abundantly Not like some folks will say like this is some sort of Name it claim it kind of thing a prosperity gospel not that that kind of abundant life He says the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, which is going to do very soon when he goes to the cross He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd who does not own the sheep sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep Let's go down No, let's keep reading verse 14. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me So who does Jesus know he knows his sheep who do the sheep know they know Jesus? Okay now here We've got somebody here who is Adding to the text he says that anyone can be misled This is the problem that you're gonna have mr. Nicholas moray. It is not do you believe Corey minor? Do you believe what Jesus just said? He says that if you are a sheep so Nicholas if you are if you are a sheep He just said you will never ever follow anyone else now. I'm not so He says I should cross reference with other scriptures. I can do that and we've looked at other scriptures Nicholas But this particular passage. What is Jesus saying? Did Jesus need to cross reference what he's saying with any other scriptures? No, does Jesus is Jesus confused about what he said in the past? How would you take when Jesus says that they will never? Ever follow anyone else if you are a sheep. We're talking about sheep now We're not talking about goats when I talk about anything else We're talking about sheep and so if he says that you will never ever follow out if you do follow something else Guess what you're not? You're not a sheep Okay So now let's go ahead and continue going back to the passages He says I am the he says my sheep know me and I know them. I know my own I know my own sheep and my sheep know me Just as the father knows me and I am known by the father and I lay down my life for the sheep Look what he says in verse 16 and I have other sheep that are not of this fold. Look what he says I Must bring them also So if I'm saying the word also that means that that both groups are going to be the same So he's gonna bring out the current sheep these Jewish sheep and then also these Gentiles sheep That's us right so he's gonna bring us out also and look what he says about him He says and they that's us will listen to my voice. Did you hear that guys? He says and they will listen to my voice. This is a Future active indicative meaning they are in the future. They are going to listen to my voice So if you want to cross-reference the scripture Nicholas cross-reference the other passage that you just that you disagree with with this passage Jesus Jesus reiterated they will listen. They will follow. They will listen. They will follow I'll put a put a tune to that they will listen. They will follow. They will listen. They will follow I'm gonna give you some other passages though I'm not just gonna stick in John 10 But John 10 is important because what if that's the only time that you heard Jesus was at that moment Everybody didn't walk around with a bottle at that moment, but it didn't make that what Jesus said at that time untruth So he says they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock one shepherd Now for this reason the father loves me because I laid down my life that I may take it up again No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it back up again this charge I have received from the father now Let's drop down a little further because the Jews are bothered those folks who don't want to listen Don't want to believe they're bothered Jesus said they said verse 24 so the Jews gathered around him and said to him How long will you keep us in suspense if you are the Christ tell us plainly? Jesus answered them now. There's a reason why they're asking is he the Christ why that's important Okay, we'll look at that in a second also relating to this he says verse 25 Jesus answered them I told you and you do not believe why don't they believe well because they're not a sheep He's gonna say that in a second the works that I do in my father's name bear witness about me But you do not believe why don't they believe guys? Can anyone tell me as I'm getting ready to go into this passage Just look at it. Why don't these people believe? Why don't these non-believers believe? What's the reason according to this passage verse 26? Don't they believe why is the reason someone tell me why don't these sheep believe? I'm gonna camp here because I want to see someone Let me know that you understand what the scriptures are saying in verse 26 well really verse 25 and 26 why Jesus says that you people don't believe. What's the reason? There it is The reason they don't believe Neland Jaguars fan, okay, but still loves the Lord That's the reason they don't believe because they are not his sheep. They are not his sheep They are not his sheep guys. They aren't his sheep. So he says that's the reason you guys don't believe now Some folks are gonna get bothered by the implication of that. We'll hold off on that for now Okay on this implication, but they don't believe because they're not a sheep if they were his sheep They would believe who caused those sheep to be his Who who caused us and the sheep of all and the sheep in the future who caused us to be his sheep? Did we go looking for the shepherd is it cuz we were so you know We were so great so wonderful that he came looking for us. No, that's right. God God God the father the father No one else but God So If he gives us and we're gonna see that if God gives us sheep or bride he uses these different terms if he gives us to the shepherd then And again, I think this it it really isn't difficult unless you want to be difficult Unless you unless you just decide, you know what? I'm not I'm right. I'm right. I'm right dog I don't care what this what does not on here who calls himself a smart the smart Christian channel. I don't care What he says I'm not I didn't write any of this stuff guys I'm simply reading what it says now if my understanding of this passage is incorrect Well, then tell me no now don't tell me what about this book this chapter this verse We can go to that later But what about because what you're saying is ignore this passage ignore this verse now I'm gonna tell you the danger Nicholas and other folks I'm gonna tell you the danger in what you're doing and you should have gathered what the danger is I think not that I think I'm fairly sure that this is the danger based on even just looking at the thumbnail a Believer who doesn't believe a Christian who doesn't believe who doesn't believe Jesus's words, okay? Okay, but you and see here because here's what happens. Here's what happens You're gonna have a guy like Nicholas who's gonna say you're taking things out of context. Well, what's the context Nicholas? The world is waiting Literally people all over the planet are actually gonna see this video people in South America in Australia, New Zealand in the UK Trinidad Tobago, Jamaica, Canada South America Who knows maybe somebody got has a smart Christian channel in Afghanistan. So tell us the context Tell us the context, please sir because what's happening is this if a person does not believe because here's the question guys I'm gonna ask you guys this question before we continue How many of Jesus's words are you not allowed to believe in and still claim that you have trust and faith in him? Well, you got to believe in 80% of the words that Jesus says in order to be saved You got to be with 99 you got to believe in 100% you got to believe in 40% or Or you got to believe in the ones that support your doctoring Tell me what the context is somebody anybody almost All his old school music is in my head so like somebody anybody everybody's free anyway But what is the context? He's talking about his sheep That's the whole context of this and he's describing who his sheep are and who his sheep are not is that fair everybody? Is he talking about who his sheep are what he said? Whoa, whoa, whoa and see Nicholas You are the person for the day walk in the spirit and you should not okay, but that's not the context of Genesis. I mean of John 10 is what is what you're saying in Galatians 5 what Paul is talking about Is that the context that Jesus is talking about? No, it's not matter of fact, they aren't even familiar with Walking in the spirit because they haven't even given the spirit as of yet. So Nicholas what is the context as far as I can see the context of this is that? He's speaking about who his sheep are and who his sheep are not what his sheep will do and what his sheep won't do So far, that's all I can see now they asked a question to go with this about him being the Christ Okay, Nicholas. I'm gonna ignore you because now you're talking about the mark of the beast You are you are here's the problem Nicholas. Let me just be let me just be as godly and as brutally honest You are intentionally ignorant You are intentionally not not only even like you're an ignorant person. I don't mean that way in an insulting way I mean you are not knowing and the reason why you don't know That's what the word ignorant means the reason why you don't know it's because you don't want to know You're looking for something other than the truth The problem is Nicholas is that if you don't trust what he's saying you can't be saved I Want that to strike you at your core Nicholas? Nicholas if you don't believe what Jesus is saying and that is true you do not know Christ Okay, now you're bringing up the mark of the beast who's talking about the mark of the beast By the way, Nicholas if you're not a believer You'll be around to make that decision But if you are a believer then you won't be around when that happens when the tribulation happens That's my ask a logical view. Anyway, let's go ahead and get back to this past as I want others who are not named Nicholas to see This so let's go back to what he's saying Verse 26 27 but you do not believe why as you all rightly said because you're not my sheep His sheep he already said they do believe the people who don't believe are not his sheep All right verse 27 he gives more description about his sheep what his sheep will do My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. So now here's what we're gonna do Nicholas. I'm on a Can I do this? I can't do it Guys do me a favor go ahead because Nicholas is in the way go ahead and put him in time out for a little bit The stuff that he's talking about is is is taking people's attention off the topic. So Mr. K Scott one of you guys put this guy in In time out. We're not gonna ban him still welcome to the channel, but For this video just chill out go to sidelines hit the lockers get you a shower Get you some drink get some refreshments in you and then come back and watch the video take some notes And we're talking about John 10, okay? So Christians who do not believe Jesus. It's hard to make the statement the case that you are a Christian So let's go back to what he's saying My sheep hear my voice. I know them and they will follow me. What did he just say? To proper time that is the sheep. Taima. That's me Ta ta phonase. That's the voice of mine Now look at this word right here Aku usan, which is they follow they are hearing they are following I'm sorry. They're hearing I said follow they are he cuz I and I get those two confusing times Aku usan and a calufin, which is follow. So they're kind of similar anyway. So He says that my sheep are hearing me Then he says and they know me and here's the word and they follow They are following him. So that's what Jesus is saying that sheep are doing now We've already covered verse 28 ad nauseum Ad nauseum. So we don't have to worry about what it's saying. I want to go to another passage though Because it needs to be abundantly clear that what Jesus set out to do was to make this final To put to bed put to rest anything Anything that anyone else can say if you feel like you're doing it on your own you're doing all the heavy lifting on your own Fine keep lifting you'll be lifting forever and you're gonna find it hard to lift in hell So you might want to pay attention your salvation your soul is literally at stake in this doctrine Okay. Now, let's go to this past. I want you guys to see this John 11 26 This is Jesus having a conversation with Martha. What just happened guys? Lazarus is dead Jesus wasn't as quick on the draw as Martha wanted him to be so Martha's crying now Mary's doing work Martha is torn up because she knows who Jesus is and who you said you are and I believe who you said you are Why'd you let this happen Jesus? And so he goes to it in verse 26 No, let's start in verse let's start in verse 24 Martha said to him I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day So she understands the power of Jesus and what's gonna happen that he will be raised again in the end Jesus said to him. I mean said to her I am the resurrection and the life The one who believes in me and the reason I said the one who believes because the word that's right there is Pistuan, which is the bleeding one whoever is the person that's bleeding in me though. He died yet. Shall he live? Look what he says now here and this is where it gets real important Nicholas I know you get the showers, but there's a TV in the shower room I want you to pay attention to this and every one who lives and believes in me shall never die He says do you believe this look at her response? She said to him? Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ the Son of God who is coming into the world now Here's where some some some some Greek can help Remember guys, I said the word that that we're using for faith believe trust is the word pistuo Believe faith trust. It means the same thing. Okay, and so we're gonna see different versions of it pistuan Pistu A's Pistu usan, it's still the pistas right, but then we're gonna see this word right here now once you guys to check this out This word here. This is the Greek word which is called Papistuka Okay, it is what's called the perfect tense of pistuo or pisto or pistas It is because the perfect tense, you know what it means. It means that Martha Has been believing the perfect tense is something that occurred in the past. So he's not even so she's not even saying I believe you now No, she said I've been believing you Well, well, so she's identifying what I've said before that a believer enters into this state one time guys and Continue so she said I've been believing that you are the Christ the Son of God Okay, so now look what he says. Oh, let's go back to 45. He says the believing one in me um Apathina, which is they will not I mean I will die This person will live he will not die. He will live. Okay now If you believe in him if you are believing in him if you are believing in him and Everyone who lives and believes in me and look look look look look at over here in the I'm pointing to like you guys can see my finger To the right over here the Greek portion this little pistol arm It is the believing ones the believing that's what that word literally means the believing ones. So the believing ones in him Here is this this phrase. I've told you before this emphatic negation This Oomey in front of us of a subjunctive here. It is again Oomey Apathina with is they shall never die They shall never die. And so what Jesus literally just said again Is that nothing in the future will ever cause these people to die? So implicit in that to the person that I was writing the email to to Nicholas or anyone else What not so much Nicholas because Nicholas it listening But anyone else who is trying to get an understanding because some folks just take a side no matter what if you believe in Eternal security and not open to listening I would say just listen because they may they may have a point They won't be able to find one but just out of curiosity and even it would even help you with your own Exegesis understanding just to be able to but just just to be able to rebut them But if you also believe that you can lose your salvation just listen just being an intellectually honest Just listen give what I'm saying a chance and see if I've taken anything out of context if I've misused a word or anything Because if I have not misused the word if I haven't taken anything out of context Then what passage are you going to go to to contradict this and I use the word contradict for a reason? What passes would you go to that will contradict this if I've said everything in the right text in the right tense context in the right tense tell me so He says who may Apathana apathana, okay here it is again who may apathana, which is they will never ever ever ever die ever So why is that important and guys again? I didn't want to it's just I'm sitting and looking at this and there are other Passes I mean other people that they've sent me these emails and so forth. I'm just looking at these thinking No one is paying attention. No one is paying attention. So What is a believer? When someone says that a person who has to In order to be saved you have to keep believing what we already said that Every believer will continue to believe if it is September the 1st that believer will continue to believe October the 1st What sense does it make for Jesus? Because this is what we got look at Jesus crazy now, right? If this is true If this is true, we got to look at Jesus like Jesus You don't know what you're talking about because how can you tell us Jesus that you give you you've given us We now have eternal life at 8 a.m. And then 8 30. I don't have eternal life. That wasn't very eternal Was it Jesus? No, that's not and that's a when he says by the way when he says eternal life He says the word that's used there often is life Zoe I want him which is life into eternal So you currently have life you are he says you are currently living forever That's what he lived that's literally what it means turn life means that you are literally living forever Because what did you just say though? He died let's go back to it. This is why he talks about eternal life Why I'm saying this saying it this way is because Jesus just tells told Mary. I mean, I mean Martha Martha just tells Jesus tells Martha though. He died yet. Shall he live because you will live forever You will keep living forever. You keep living forever. You have life. I'm giving you life forever It's not a whole lot of difficulty to it guys. It really isn't and so Wait a second. Whoa, wait. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, brother. I mean, you know, I don't know if you're a male or a female I'm gonna call you brother because I don't know a real Christian will continue to believe in a Biden him Okay, we man that it that's it right there. So why do you say one saved always say it's from the pits of hell Because that's what one saved always save teaches one saved always save teaches that if If you are believer you will continue to believe always if you stop believing then guess what you have identified You have identified that you were never really a believer and so someone asked can he came up? Because I've got a bunch of work to get to but this was just on me I was sitting here at the desk and I wanted you know what let me go ahead and do this real quick I didn't want to make this too long. It's probably longer than I wanted to do. This has been 39 minutes and I was thinking of 20 minutes or so Because tonight probably be on this thing for about an hour hour and a half Of course when I say hour hour and a half you guys know two and a half hours probably so anyway but Hey, man, that's what it is eternal life Is part of the gospel? That's the good news the old news guys the old news that wasn't as good the old So I'll be on 2045 minutes You know if it's that good we might be over two hours and 45 minutes the old news was that you could be saved But you could lose it because you had to keep doing it every year You have to keep going through the same atonement year after year after year after year after year, okay? But the good news that One time let me see this and we'll go ahead and get ready to get out of here because my pastor tells me I can be a drunkard and still go to heaven. I love my pastor, but I disagree with him I'm a brother by the way. I know we know you are we know you are listen If your pastor is if anyone's giving you okay to sin well, then that's that's wrong But I think maybe what he's saying is that If you get drunk are you are you no longer a a child of his? No, that's not that's not that's not true if you get drunk. You're still a believer If you sin, are you still a believer? Yeah now if your lifestyle is that of sin and You have no repenting heart. It doesn't bother you. Well, then you're not us. You don't believe that's why Jesus says That's what Paul says Paul says make sure examine yourself Verify because my brother there are a lot of people who say they are and aren't There are a lot of people who think they are and are not and So it is vitally important that you know that one that you trust that what Christ did was sufficient Here's why here's why it's so important if you trust what Christ did is sufficient and It was all encompassing it was complete thorough Then you can trust in that so when things get tough when things get rough when you don't feel like it You can always go back to something that you put all your trust in in the father I can trust what he's doing because I know what he did and that it was more than enough The only person that demanded payment for my sin Wasn't you wasn't me wasn't her wasn't them the only person who demanded payment for my sin was God Now who is capable of paying that debt the son? Did he pay the debt? Yes, what are the debt is old then if the son pay the debt none, right? none so If you're looking for other payment or a continual payment alright as though God has his hand out Well, no, there's some more payments. You got to pay on this person bad here. Jesus. Give me some more Keep paying keep paying. Oh look. He just lied up. Look. She just lost it keep paying Then that meant the earlier payment was not enough which meant that also one of Jesus Jesus last word was alive It is finished when it ain't finished because you still owe me You may Jesus out to be a lie if you don't believe this Hey, man, so Mark Kerr. Love you, brother. You you clearly are godly you understand this So if he didn't own it if we aren't old anything if nothing else is old Then who is going to what else can you pay? You can't put anything on top of it. I Heard the analogy go like this I will give me give me one second. Give me one second The analogy goes like it's an owner. I'm saying because I want to I want to remember this analogy Let's say I get in an accident. I have a wreck. I Wasn't drunk wasn't impaired. I wasn't texting or anything like that It was raining and I lost control of the car and I couldn't come to a complete stop And I struck a car and I killed this person's child Let's say it's a little girl killed her The parents and the parents of that child Are believers they understood they understood the road condition they understood that you know things happen They grieve for their child's loss They're angry that it had to happen and why could not been further back or what have you had my car better work better tires Whatever, so they're angry, but then they they come to forgive me. I'm so sorry I'm so sorry. They believe me and they forgive me. They don't hold over my head Are you with me? They don't hold what I've what I've done to their child whether intentionally unintentionally over my head Now I want to do even more than that. I want to add or contribute to their child's funeral Pay someone on the on the funeral tab and I bring them $1.87 $1.87 Dig into my pocket in here and up But what is this? This is for you to help pay for your child's funeral How do they look at me then? How would they look at me? Like I'm a moron more than likely, right? That's the same thing that we do When we go to Christ or go to God and saying that there's some other things that we can do to help with the payment That was given You can't give it whatever you give on top of what Christ did is like a $1.87 And you make what he did in your eyes to be worthless to be of no effect Okay, so now let me let me read this and then we'll go ahead and jump out of here. He says go to First John 3 9 let's go to first John 3 9 real quick. I'll go on it got me out of here In these Bible streets when I was playing on What was that first John 3? He's a first John 3 9. I had something else to do, but it's cool Okay, cool. Let's go to the passage guys No one born of God makes practicing of sin for God see for God's seed Abides in him and he cannot keep on sinning because he is he has been born of God. I Remember reading this. This is what one of the for some reason when When you take Greek First John is one of the books that you were probably in the beginning going to have to translate John's writing in Greek is the easiest of the Greek to to get down Also Luke reading the book of Luke in the book of Acts you can tell how Luke is smarter He uses bigger words than than the rest of people even more than Paul And so that Greek is it's not as common. So but anyway, but this is one of the books I remember going over this past. This is past high Gaganymos, which is the one who has Become or been born so the person who has been born previously of God Sin, not he is doing how my tion Ooh not play which is doing because the sea sparrow. I'm sorry sparrow My which is where we at the word sperm sperm of the seed of his in him Mayne, which is it is remaining And not able a high do not tie To sin, this is an infinitive Best person is not able to sin He does not mean that a person cannot sin anymore They're not making practice, which is why they translate this makes a practice of sinning or keep sinning So that's what it is a person who is a believer Will sin? He didn't keep sinning. He didn't continue to sin. He doesn't make it a practice of sinning Why well because he says that that person has the seed in him God's seed is literally in him Remember how we say great is he that is in me that's God's seed That's the Holy Spirit that's in me than he bet it's in the world And so this is what keeps you from having this pattern of sin though you might Sinnel sin here or sin there. It's not your practice and oh by the way when you stumble when you sin Again, even if it's intentionally unintentionally, you know what's gonna bother you that sin you look back Oh Now are you gonna be broken up about your sin immediately? Not always sometimes gonna take you to calm down Someone says something to you or whatever you had and you you jack slapped them right and they maybe had it coming And then you thought a bit better about it. I wish I had done that. Oh lord. That is not good of me Well, that's repenting heart. That's repenting attitude That is you know what I'm gonna go Mmm So Do you think that when Peter denied Jesus that he was repentant? At the moment he wouldn't because the first time he did it. What did he do? He not only doubled down. He did it again. He did it twice. He did it a third time. Was he repentant? Yeah, he decided to go fishing again. He decided to get back to what he was doing. Okay, so Okay, I'm gonna address this The context of John 10 26 is Jesus telling the Jews that he told that he told them before Who he was and that they did not believe they are not his sheep one safe always save is not the context John or JC Brickson, you are absolutely 100% false the context of John 10 which is where verse 26 resides is Jesus explaining who his sheep are who is sheep or not what a sheep will do and what a sheep will not He says why his sheep will do it and why those who know that she won't do it. That's all throughout it Okay, now I've covered the past. I don't know if you came in later would have you by the way I think you email me ask me why did I block you? You see I'm you're not blocked. So And if you two didn't didn't post it Call call somewhere in California. I don't know what happens right there. So anyway The issue is you tell me if that's not the context You tell me if those words that I'm parsing in the Greek or even in English are incorrect If you cannot then stop relying on you to keep you again Quit trying to make an extra payment on top of what Jesus did So anyway guys love you guys so much. I will see you if the Lord says the same if you are still willing I will see you this afternoon. Oh, by the way by the way Who let Nicholas back out? Nicholas back out Nicholas guys Nicholas is back.
