 I've offended some people and angered some people. Not sure if I committed a sin, but I would like to apologize. I don't want to offend anyone, but I do want to do my duty and try to present the scriptures correctly. And so for that reason, I would use the Hebrew or the Greek, not to show off, not to be arrogant, not to show that I know anything, but just to be as honest as I could to the text. Why? Because after all, the Hebrew text was given to us in the Old Testament. The New Testament was primarily given to us in Greek. There is some air make in both the Old and New Testament, but I want to just be honest to the text because I wanted to make sure that one, I'm not wrong and also they're not teaching anyone wrong. But some people don't like that. As a matter of fact, some said that you can't prove eternal security unless he uses the Greek, which means I'm somehow twisting the scriptures by using the Greek, you know, the language that it was actually given to us in. But I want to apologize, not though I've done in particular sin, but because some people feel as though that I cannot make the case of eternal security, you know, one saved always saved. If you're saved, you'll always be saved. Some feel that I can't make that point unless I use the Greek. So I'm going to do my best going forward in the future to not use so much Greek. At least I don't think I will. However, I want you to do the same thing because I don't want you to be guilty of being a hypocrite, meaning you can't use Greek ever. You can't use a concordance and go to the Greek. You can't use a concordance and go to the Hebrew. So let's just be fair, even across the board, I'll do my best not to use Greek. I can't promise that I won't ever do it, but you ought to at least those of you who think I should not use Greek, you ought to at least follow your own advice and not use Greek ever. Now that being stated, I want to go to some of the passages that I bring up and I'm only going to bring up the English because to me it seems as though the English makes this pretty clear, abundantly clear. But you all forgive me as I put the text on the screen that there is some Hebrew to the right, disregard that if that doesn't fit you or just look at it with your left eye. Don't look at it with your right eye or the right side of the screen. But that being the case, Jeremiah says in English, God has stated that I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me always for their good and for the good of their children after them. Verse 40 I think is pretty clear in English, because I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them to do good and I will put my fear of them or the fear of me, I'm sorry, in their hearts so that they will not turn away from me. So the English to me seems pretty clear that God says he will not turn away from those who he puts his spirit in their heart. He won't turn away from them, nor those people who have the spirit of God in their heart. They won't turn away from him. So it'd be kind of difficult for me to see just the English how a person can turn away from God when he says they won't and how God will never turn away from them when he says he will not. I don't know if there's a third option. Maybe if we looked in the Hebrew we could see if there's a third option. I don't think it is, but let's go to another passage and let's just deal with just the English. In the English it says then I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean. Now this is Ezekiel 36. Now he said he's going to sprinkle clean water on people and they will be clean. Look what he says in verse 26. Moreover, this is God saying what he will do. Notice God is saying what he will do. I will do. Now this is in English and so I think this is pretty clear. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you and I will remove the heart of stone from your heart of flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And this part right here I think is pretty clear even in English. I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues that you will be careful to observe my orders. Now this is God speaking. Now obviously God didn't speak in English because well there was no such thing as English on the planet at least for another couple thousand years. But the case being it's been translated in English from Hebrew but we're not going to look at Hebrew. He says that I will cause you to walk in my statues. Seems to me like we won't stop. We won't once the spirit is in us. We won't not walk in the statues. And as he says in Jeremiah that we won't turn away from him. But pastors in English. But then we go to another couple of pastors in the New Testament and let's just look at the English again. Pardon the Greek. That's going to be on the right hand side of your screen guys. I apologize. It's on the software. But continue. He says Jesus said to them I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger. And he who believes in me will never thirst. Now it didn't say if you have to keep believing just the English says if you come to him. Matter of fact didn't say if but it says he who comes to me will not hunger. He who believes in me will never thirst. Does it mean that you have to keep believing? It doesn't say so but I think that's what I think it's safe to say. Well it doesn't say so in the English. It doesn't say so in the English but I think it's a safe bet to assume that you must keep believing and in doing so you will never thirst. But he says I said to you that you have never said that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All the father gives me will come to me. So all the ones the father gives to him he says will. That this is definite a future action that will definitely happen because that's what the word will means will come to me. And the one who comes to me I will certainly not cast out. So the person is definitely going to come and I think by the same assumption that the person must keep believing I think this person will keep coming. I don't know if this is a one-time thing or not just the English didn't let me know that. But I think that's safe to say that that person who comes to him will never be cast out for I've come down to do the will from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me that all that he has given. So all in English all every last one of them that he has given to me that is to Jesus. Jesus says I will lose nothing. So all of those that he's given to him one they will come and he won't lose any of them. This is just the English so far and he will lose none but raised up in the last day for this is the will of my father. Everyone who beholds the son and believes in him will have eternal life and I myself will raise him up in the last day. That's kind of keeping with what he said in Jeremiah. They will never turn away from him and he will never turn away from us. That's just what it seems like in English. I'm not going to use the Greek because I don't think we need to use the Greek. I think the English is pretty clear just like in John 10. John 10 verse 4 he says when he that is Jesus the shepherd puts forth all his own as his sheep because remember they were given to him by the father. He goes ahead of them and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. A stranger I think this is pretty telling in the English of course he says a stranger they simply will not follow. When you use that kind of terminology when you send someone even in English of course we're speaking English that they simply will not follow. That is kind of a polite way of saying they're definitely going to follow. They simply will not follow the stranger and notice what he says because they don't know I'm sorry I got ahead of myself. They simply will not follow but will flee so his sheep will flee because they do not know the stranger's voice. And then he says something also to let us know that he's not just dealing with just Jews. In verse 16 he makes a statement about the Gentile sheep. He says I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also and they will hear my voice and they will become one flock with one shepherd. So he says what they will do which is in keeping with what he's prophesied he will do. I think it's interesting though that under the old covenants it's on the old way that if a person had their faith in what the atoning work was for them that that person is in right standing for one year but they could lose that standing the following year. They're not guaranteed to stay in that standing continually. They have to keep adhering to the day of atonement. This is a yearly atonement that they have to deal with. And so if a person could lose it well then they're pretty much basically under the same system as the old. Under the old you can be atoned for this year next year not be atoned for. If that's the same case here you can be atoned for this year and next year not being the same right standing but then it kind of makes you wonder why would Jesus come. I'm just wondering these things in English. So you all forgive me for wondering in English out loud. But then Roman 8 he makes a statement. Paul says and we know that God causes all things. So he says that God causes. Now this is English so I've got to go with the English. I can't I can't delve into the Greek. But God causes all things to work together for the good to those who love God. So if you love God how long do you have to love God? What did he say? Just as if you love God well if you love God let's say I would take this in English on day one. If I love God let's say it's a Monday. Then whatever happens on a Tuesday because I loved him on a Monday whatever happens next he's going to cause that to work for the good of the person who loved him. And let's say the person on Monday so whatever happens on Tuesday if it's bad he's going to cause that to work for the good of that person that loves him. And the good could only be that he stays safe. It can't be that he loses salvation because that wouldn't be good. But he's going to cause those to work together for good. Maybe I'm seeing this incorrectly but I do know English pretty well. Work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to his purpose. So whatever happens whatever issue show up bad things good things you name it. He's going to cause God is going to cause that to work for the good of those who love him. So for God on Monday he's fine on Tuesday. And because he's fine on Tuesday he'll be fine on Wednesday because God is going to cause whatever happens on Thursday to work for his good. So even on Friday he's still good. Sunday comes around he's still good because whatever happens on Sunday because he loved him on Saturday God is going to work that out for his good. That's just how I'm taking it in English. I could be wrong. Now you guys got to deal with the English and I'm saying just deal with the text, the text that we have here. Just these texts because these are English texts and I want to make sure I'm understanding. Now I could be wrong about these texts. Could be wrong. Please don't go to four or five other different texts. We can go to those later but I want to deal with these texts in English. Could you do that for me please? I'm just asking. You don't have to because you've got the whole Bible used and I've been using the whole Bible and I still don't see where we can lose it. But and I see where some might look that way. But again, these are some of the few of the English texts that seem to be straightforward. Notice what he says here in John 1 John 5 18. He says we know that no one is born of God. I'm sorry. We know we know that no one who is born of God sins. Look what he says. But he who was born of God keeps him God. Now who's keeping him? Let's say it's me or you. If you're born of God this English seems to say that it's God that keeps you. I don't know if there's any other way to look at this. Now I think we can even make this clear in the Greek but I've promised as often as I can as much as possible not to use the Greek. But in this case seems to say that it's God who keeps you. Didn't say that you keep yourself. But it's God. Am I reading this correctly? I'm just just the English the middle section of the screen is God who keeps you and the evil one does not touch him. Now that's us. That's born of God. Now what I also want to ask you guys another question for you all that believe that again I use the Greek too much or the Hebrew too much which is fine. I understand that because you don't speak Greek. You don't speak Hebrew. But then that's kind of hypocritical since the writers of the scriptures didn't speak English. It's a bit arrogant I think to think that you have to speak the language of the person that's reading it in order for what they said to that that that goes a little that's a bit of a stretch. So if I say something in Spanish and here I am today in English reading it however it was translated I have to understand that way and no one could ever come back and put it in the Spanish even if it might have been a little bit of ambiguity in English. But I think the English is pretty straightforward when I ask you guys a question in the English if he says if you can lose your salvation then you can never get it back. Is there a way around that he says for in the case of those who have once been enlightened and who have tasted the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come and then have fallen away it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. So according to the English if you were saved and I believe he's talking about saved people in Hebrew six people that know the Lord they have tasted the goodness of the Lord been partakers of the spirit. If you fall away it's impossible. Okay fine you say that if you fall away means that you fall away fine. Does it also mean that if you can fall away then it also is impossible. Now I know I know it impossible means in the English impossible means it's not possible. So is it impossible to be renewed again to repentance. Now you can use the Hebrew if you want to because I'll be honest with you I want to still use the Greek from time to time in the Hebrew when the English when I need further clarification or just for edification because again that's what it gave us gave it to us as I think it's wrong. I think it's wrong headed. I think it's disingenuous. I do not think that is proper for anyone to say Corey or anyone else relies on the Greek because you relying on the English is built upon someone else knowing and relying on the Greek to give you the English knowing the Hebrew to give you the English or Spanish or French or German. And so when people come together either from different languages and study the scriptures and they might there might be a difference in and understand the words and translation because I can promise you the Spanish Bible does not really like the English Bible. I can promise you the French Bible or the Mandarin Bible or the German Bible does not read like the English Bible different languages and I can promise you also that they're English speaking people that read the very same words that you do a little bit differently. But what do we do when we get to these moments where we just don't simply understand or have an agreement if if I know for some it's a big possibility it's a big if if the Greek or if the Hebrew sheds light on it why would you not use it. But if you disagree if you disagree that hey I speak English all I need is English. God gave me this Bible in English which he did not but God gave me this Bible in English. Well then I would ask you to make sure you never ever use your concord to look up the word in Hebrew or Greek because that would make you hypocrite. I think you ought to as a matter of fact matter of fact I think what you ought to do more than that is take a quick little lesson learn some of the Greek lessons learn some of the Hebrew lessons. You don't have to become proficient but just understand what's happening there so that you could understand the tenses the voices the cases in the in the Greek nouns and so forth Hebrew constructs and so forth. Pernominal suffixes in Hebrew all those different things I would like for you just to get an idea you don't have to be proficient that way you can get a book and when you come up to a word you're not very sure what it is but you can at least look it up and have some familiarity with it. You know just like we do in English because most of us in English don't remember some of the lessons that were taught to us in high school English or maybe college English or junior high English. Most of us could if you ask the average person what a nominative is most folks would know or pretty good now most most English speaking people would know off the top of their head they have to go back maybe look okay now I remember what Ms. Crabb apples taught us so even in English there are rules that go with this and so that's just my only point if what I've said has offended anyone or bothered someone it's never my intent to bother upset anyone for using anything or for doing anything for saying anything especially the Greek it's a tool that we have at our disposal that I think we ought to make the most of and so if my belief is the problem whether I think you should say that but if Greek is the problem then I think we really have a bigger problem I think the problem hidden with Greek is the fact that someone could use Greek to prove their point whereas another person can't use Greek to prove their point and I think they feel left out or bothered or anger anger at the fact that someone has the audacity to not believe the way they believe if someone were to use the Greek or the Hebrew to disprove what I'm saying there's no problem we'll go with that incidentally if you go back and look at the videos all of the videos that I've ever done regarding eternal security one saved always say do you know how many times someone has ever used the Greek to disprove what I'm saying do you know how many times someone has ever pointed out something in the Greek to say that you can lose your salvation none not once now anyone is open to use Greek anyone I'm not the one person that that can read Greek and I'm not I'm not I'm not the greatest edit so it's open for anyone how many times has anyone come into this this Greek phrase means this which definitely shows that you can lose your salvation not once not in any debates not with a so-called scholar not with a person who has a concord is no one and when I look on YouTube or other social media platforms I can't find one person that's used the Greek to show that you can lose your salvation now I might be wrong there might be some out there I would love to see it because again it's a tool for everyone to use and so I say use whatever you have at your disposal make every effort to learn his word even if that means you might find out that you're wrong so be it same with me I have changed my views on a lot of different doctrine and guess what sometimes the Greek has helped me to see hey Cory you were wrong on that and so while I'm having a little fun here I am not apologizing really for using Hebrew Greek I would never apologize for delving deeply into God's word and I would just say listen I'm not I'm nothing special you too could do the exact same thing and then come along and disprove it with the same thing the same tools that I'm using that are also at your disposal because it's not about who's right but it's about what's right we are not saved because of what we know we are saved by who we know however we get closer to who we know by improving on what we know amen
