 there is not one example of a person having the spirit in them, being a believer, and then losing their salvation. No, Corey is right in a sense. There isn't just one example in the New Testament. There's actually over 40. That floored me when I heard him say, by the way, I heard him say that because I get tagged awful lot. Sometimes I see what I'm being tagged for. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I watch him. Sometimes I don't. Every now and then I might respond, depending upon what it is I'm responding to. On this one, thought about it, you know what? Yeah, I'll respond because there are 40, as he says, 40 examples of people in the Bible who have over 40 who have lost their salvation. And so I think I recall this guy before. I think his channel changed its name. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. So I don't want to say, but I want to go to his channel and I want to play what he says. By the way, I'm having to come on early. I've got a lot to get through. And so I want to come on early. We won't be too long, but I'm also going to ask you guys to help me out because we're going to look at two videos of his. The first one, we're not going to watch the whole thing, but we're going to listen to his points. I've got it sped up a little bit. And so as a matter of fact, let me go ahead and go to that particular channel of his. It is called Abide in the Word. Yeah, that's the name, Abide in the Word. I'm not sure what this guy's name is, but we're going to look at what he has to say. He brings up this example. This is 1 Timothy 5, 11. And we're going to look at that to see if that proves. If so, then amen. Listen, if you have proven that my stance is wrong, listen, not a problem. It's not a big deal for me to be wrong or to accept something different. Hey, listen, as long as I know the truth, I would rather you tell me the truth than hide the truth from me. So that's fine. That's fine. And so I want to sit and you all let you listen to it. You tell me what you think. I think he's wrong on this, by the way. I think he's clearly wrong, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that. But when we go to this next video where he says there's over 40 examples, this is where I'll pick out a few, but I'm going to let you guys tell me which minute mark to go to so that no one can say, well, he went through the videos. He cherry picked the ones that he wanted to know. I'm going to let you guys, I'll put it on the screen, let you guys determine which minute mark you want me to go to. And then we'll just answer whichever question or whichever example that he has and we'll see. So that being the case, let's go ahead. Again, I've got it sped up a little bit. So let's go to it. For when they have begun to grow, Wonton against Christ tells us to refuse younger widows or not enroll them and talk about everybody who lost their salvation. But here's one example right here in 1st Timothy chapter five, Paul tells us to refuse younger widows or not enroll them in the program that they had. For when they have begun to grow Wonton against Christ they desire to marry having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. Now, let's just analyze this for a second. If you cast off your first faith and then incur condemnation because you cast off that first faith, you can't come back and say, oh, that was never really true faith to begin with because why else would you incur condemnation for casting this off? That has to be talking about, they had real, true, genuine faith. They lost their faith or they left their faith and in doing so they incurred condemnation. If you look up- What do you guys think? There's a huge problem with what he's saying. So let's go to this passage 1st Timothy 1, I mean 511. Here it is. He says, but refuse to put younger women on the list for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ they want to get married, thus incurring condemnation because they have set aside their previous pledge. Wait a second. We need to figure this out what's happening here. Okay? He says, now this is Paul telling Timothy about how to deal with people, men with women, women and so forth. As a matter of fact, if we go back up a little bit further, he says starting in verse nine, a widow is to be put on the list of people that should be taken care of. Are you with me guys? A widow should be put on the list if she is not less than 60 years old having been the wife of one man having a reputation of good works and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality disorder. Now these are the ones that ought to be put on the list to be taken care of. So when we get to 11, he says, but refuse to put younger widows on the list for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married. They're young, they're not old and or too old. And so don't put them on the list because they can end up finding a husband. All right? At the same time, oh, I'm sorry, thus incurring condemnation because they have set aside their previous pledge. What previous pledge? That's the question and that's what he's not getting. What pre, is this pledge or this faith or this belief, by the way, the word that's here is Pistine. Pistine refer can refer to anything. It doesn't necessarily refer to the faith that we have in Christ, although it's used oftentimes in that, but your belief or your pledge or your faith and notice this is the noun, okay? So, and we talk about this oftentimes where we see the noun of faith or belief, we see the noun not the verb being used. And because it's not a verb, this is not set aside. Let's say that if it's worth salvation, this is not saying that you're set inside believing from having believed. No, this is set aside your belief, your pledge. Pledge to what? We're talking about someone who is a widow who might want to stay that way, who wants to live for the Lord, but look what he says. He says, for they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married. The opposite of their pledge, thus incurring condemnation or in the word condemnation, the word is crema, which is judgment, okay? So, thus incurring judgment and here's why, because they have set aside their previous pledge. What pledge is there in the Bible relating to salvation whereby a woman wants to get married and no longer wants to be single? What pledge is that that relates to salvation? There is none. He's not following the train of thought that Paul is having here. That's his problem. At the same time, they also learn to be idle as they go around from house to house and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention. So he's speaking about how these people ought to behave. He's not really speaking about salvation. Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, give the enemy no occasion for reproach. For some have already turned aside to follow Satan. If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened. So now the woman who's a believer is not the one that he's just spoken up. So they have already turned aside to follow Satan. Here's a question. Can a person pronounce, and I don't understand why people don't get this, can a person make a pronouncement of faith and it not be genuine faith? But then all of a sudden, you know what? I don't hold to these rules anymore. I don't hold to what the Bible teaches anymore. I don't hold to women being this way. I don't hold to men being this way. There are a lot of people, we see it every day, all the time. It's like there's an invasion of people who are saying, I used to believe this, I was brought up in the church, but now I've come to believe that anybody can be saved. I come to believe that homosexuality is okay. I've come to believe that lust is okay. I've come to believe that cussing and things like that's okay. I've come to believe that God of the Bible, Jesus isn't the only way. I'm a Christian. So yeah, you can follow after Satan. That didn't mean that you were actually a believer. And again, notice what he's talking about here in this passage. This passage is speaking about somebody who, some woman who has these central desires and is not getting married. Wait a second, you're going against your pledge. But let's just humor him and say this is about salvation. Again, anybody, let me make this clear. I've got to go ahead and re-tag this guy. Anybody, anybody can leave the faith. Anybody can leave a set of beliefs. Like I just described, we see it all the time. People who were brought up with this particular belief and have left that belief. They don't believe that anymore. Are you guys with me? Now, there was something interesting. By the way, Paul brings us up as well. Paul talks about how he kept the faith, the tenets of the belief. Paul talks in Roman about the belief, the noun, the belief. Matter of fact, he says that faith comes by hearing and hearing it's not a verb that he's speaking of. Paul says, Paul brings up a noun. It's this tenet that we believe these set of facts that we hold to. That's the power of God unto salvation. That's what he speaks of. The problem is you've got too many people who have just got to the point where they don't, first of all, words have no meaning. And there in lies a problem. If your words don't have a meaning and if you don't see where verbs and nouns are different, then we've got a problem. Then we've got a problem. So now let's go, I wanna show something on here. Let me find a comment that someone puts out, or that I wanna show you his comment. And this was kind of confusing. Let's put it, let me put it back on the screen. All right, can you guys see that? Can you see that? I'll make it a little bit bigger. Can you guys see that? Matter of fact, let me get rid of me. Well, let me not get rid of me. Let me make this bigger. Because he says something. He says, out of curiosity, do you follow a particular theology, Calvinism, provisionism, what have you? He speaks about, let me drop down. This is where I think we find something about him. I would love to know what he means. He says, well, Calvinism holds to, let me make this bigger. He says, Calvinism holds to Augustine's doctrine of original sin. I recommend studying how Augustine invented this doctrine and what its implications are. I will offer you a few implications, although there are many more. If you are born, let me move this out of the way so you guys can, well, let me move this over. You can't see that. Can I move this over? No, I can't move this over. Let me move me over. Let me do that. I'll put it down here. He says, if you are born with a sinful nature, you are less likely to blame yourself for sin and less likely to have godly sorrow over sin, which precedes repentance. So if you believe in original sin, then you are less likely to be repentant. Does that make sense to you guys? If you believe in original sin, you are less likely to be repentant. That's what he just said. Let's put it back on the screen. Two, original sin tends to blur the lines between temptation and sin, so many declare that sin isn't something they can stop. They can only manage it. Who is he speaking of? I have no idea where to get this. I don't know where to get this. Three, if men are born sinners, then Jesus was born a sinner because he had the same flesh as us. And stupid. That makes no sense. Jesus, what? The flesh is not what makes you sin. It's what the flesh comes from. Jesus' flesh, his seed is not born of him. By the way, it isn't the flesh that in and of itself that's the problem. It's the inward man, his desire. We call it the flesh. And our flesh has been tickled and aroused in certain ways, whatever, and we like that, but it's still ultimately the inward man. That makes no sense. Makes no sense. So anyway, that's what he was speaking on. Now, I wanna go to the video that he was talking about if I can find that. I think this is it. No, let me, he says this in the, oh, here it is. Here it is, let's put this up. Estimate of where somebody lost their salvation. Now, if you've been in the faith for any decent period of time, I'm sure you've heard somebody say that you can't find one single instance of somebody throughout the entire Bible who lost their salvation. And friends, this is completely false. Not one. What I'm gonna show you today are numerous examples that are very clear and undeniable and that there's an ironclad case for. Now, there's a few where there's a little bit of wiggle room, but what I'm gonna show you today is that overwhelmingly, the overwhelming majority of cases it is. Now, he's gonna offer a way to kind of put it back on us and I don't, this is where the problem is, they don't, people don't understand the argument or what we're speaking of. Very clear that these people lost their salvation and guys, there's many of them. Now, what I'd like to do is, before we get started on that, is flip the tables on them. And I would like to ask them, if they could name one single instance in the Bible where somebody continued in willful, unrepentant sin, all the way to their death, never repented and it said that they went to heaven. Name one single example, let me rewind it. Let me rewind that. And guys, there's many of them. Now, what I'd like to do is, before we get started on that, is flip the tables on them. And I would like to ask them, if they could name one single instance in the Bible where somebody continued in willful, unrepentant sin, all the way to their death, never repented and it said that they went to heaven. Okay. The problem is, when you hear someone say something like that, it indicates you clearly have no clue as to what we're saying. Who says, I don't say that a person can live in sin, be in sin, be unrepentant and go to heaven. I don't, no one says that. As a matter of fact, let me help you out, brother. A Christian has to abide. A Christian has to remain. Same word. A Christian has to keep believing. A Christian can never depart from the faith. Okay, so we're in agreement. We're saying a Christian will never do those things. And there's a reason why a true Christian will not. Not a person that just names the name of Christ that professes to be a Christian. The problem is, you simply misunderstand the argument and you're not listening. Or actually, I would even just go a step further, not to be rude, but you're not reading your scriptures. Now, I want to go to some of his passages. I'm going to pick the first two. We're actually going to let the first two of his play and let him pick it. And let me click on this. And then let him determine where we're going to go. The first one that he goes to, he goes to Simon the Sorcerer. So in Acts 8, he brings up Simon as an example of a person who was saved, who had the Holy Spirit and then departed. Before I continue, before I continue with this, can anyone tell me, I'm looking at you guys' comments. Why is Simon a horrible example of someone to bring up as someone who lost their salvation? Why is that a horrible example of someone to bring up of anyone? We say that there's never been one example of someone who had the Holy Spirit in them, saved, had the Holy Spirit in them and then lost that salvation. Spider Monkey says, cause Simon never believed. Well, what do you mean by that, Spider Monkey? Because it does say that he believed. Sean says that he was a sorcerer. Well, yeah, but did he repent of that? Did he stop being a sorcerer? Yeah, he says Simon the Sorcerer was saved. Not according to Peter though. But wait a minute, was that Simon was saved and then lost his salvation? And then Peter told him, hey, you lost your salvation, you need to get back? Well, let's let him play it out. Let's let him speak and then we'll come back to it in just a little bit. But I want you all to think about it as you read this passage and just mold over your head what salvation is and how we know that Simon never had that. He continued with Philip and then it said that he had received the word. Okay, so what we have here is somebody who repented, believed and was baptized and then continued with Philip and received the word of God. If this doesn't describe a Christian, somebody who's believed and baptized, repented and received the word of God, then I don't know what does. And but listen here, this is what Peter says to him. Now, okay, you guys heard that right? Okay, so he's describing, he's trying to describe what he says, this is a person who believed, received the word, repented, got baptized. And if this doesn't describe, he says moving too fast, let me just slow it down and fine. If this doesn't describe a Christian, I don't know what does. Alrighty, so now he doesn't know what describes a Christian because there's one identifying mark of all the believers. But before we get to what the identifying mark of every Christian is, let's go to Acts eight, nine. There was a man named Simon who formally practiced, who was practicing magic. So yeah, he stopped practicing magic at the time of Luke's writing. He was someone claiming to be someone great and they all from the smallest to the greatest were given attention in this man, verse 11. And they were giving him attention because he had had for a long time astonished with his magic. But when Philip shows up, but when Philip, they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. They were being baptized, men and women alike. Even Simon himself believed, that seemed okay. Simon believed and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip. And as he observed great signs and miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed. He was amazed at these great signs. Now let's drop down verse 17, Peter and John show up. They had began laying their hands, verse 17, on them and they were receiving the Holy Spirit. Now when Simon saw that the spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles hands, he offered them money, saying, give this authority to me as well so that everyone whom I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit. Peter said to him, may your silver pairs with you because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money. Are you all following? I hope you're all seeing this. You have no part in this portion or in this matter for your heart is not right before God. Therefore repent of this wickedness. So now, couple of things I want you all to notice what Peter says. First, he says, may your silver pairs with you because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money. You thought you could obtain it with money. And he says, your heart is not right. What did we say about someone's heart according to Luke eight? And this is why I use this passage. Anyone, anybody according to Luke eight can receive and believe. The issue is not receiving and believing for the moment. The issue is receiving and believing, continually believing. What is required to continually believe? Put it on the screen for you guys. I want to see you guys' comments. What is required for a person to continually believe? Or let me use bad English, but to make it a good point. What's required for a person to continually be believing? What's required Dutch to be one of the high pistuons? The heart has to be right. Who fixes the heart, guys? Not you. Wow, piece of lit. I'm sorry. But who causes the heart to be right? His heart wasn't right. But, oh, wait a minute. It gets good or is, er, before we go to verse 17, and I intend to go into verse 17 first, let's go back up a little bit before we go to verse 17 of chapter eight, verse 14. Now, when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them to Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Why? For he, the Holy Spirit, had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had simply been baptized in the name of Jesus. This person was not saved. This is what we've been talking about. So he says, if I don't know what describes a Christian, well, then clearly, then that's the problem. Therein lies the problem, my friend, if you don't know what describes a Christian, because believing, having this mental ascent or this superficial belief, that's fine, a lot of folks can do that. But the indicating mark of a Christian, identifying marker of a believer is the Holy Spirit. If you don't have the Spirit, you don't have the Lord, you're not saved. No one in Acts at that time had the Holy Spirit. Hopefully it begins to open up for you. We're not speaking about someone who had a mental ascent, someone who thought for a moment, like in Luke eight, but their heart was wrong because the word was received on bad ground. Good ground is determined by the Holy Spirit. Are you with me, guys? Let's go back to something else that he says. Let's go to the next point. He goes to, does Mayor Silver perish with you? Because you thought you could obtain the, okay. Okay, here's the next one. He's going to Galatians five and seven. Let me move me over a little bit. Let me make myself a little bit smaller. That way we can see him. Okay, cool. So let's play what he's saying. Another instance we have here is the Galatians. Hey, Paul said at first that they were running well, that they were doing really good. They started off great. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? And then he said, I'm astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ. So these people were called into the grace of Christ. And then he said, but they turned to a different gospel. Okay, I think I can see where he's going here. But okay, it says they were running well. Let's go to Galatians five, seven. Galatians five, seven. He says, you were running well. Okay. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from him who calls you. So these are people who, as he says, were running well. And then you were hindered. To make the leap that hindered means you lost salvation is a pretty good leap. Why? Let's keep reading. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have, look what he says though, that's what Paul, this sometimes you have to just keep reading. He says, I have confidence in you, in the Lord that you will adopt no other view. So what's happening is they are considering what these Judaizers are saying. The Judaizers are telling them, yeah, you guys place your faith in Christ and so forth, and you have the Holy Spirit, but you got to become a Jew. You got to get certain sizes and so forth. So he says, I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will adopt no other view. You will not adopt this other view. That's his point. He says, hate uday aloh, so that, because not you will, or another view you will adopt, but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. So now, here's how we know these aren't people that lost salvation. By the way, he goes on to go back up further to the earlier part of Galatians five, which others always do. So let's go to Galatians five, starting verse two. Paul said, that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit. And I testify to you again, that every man who received circumcision, that he is under the obligation to keep the whole law. So matter of fact, let's go back to him. So I want you all to see, hear his argument. He makes an argument, but I don't think he's paying attention to the argument that he's making or actually reading or hearing what he's saying. So let's go back to it. So they were in the correct gospel and they were running well in the correct gospel, but they had just turned to a different gospel. And look at this. He even said that these people received the spirit. Did you receive the spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain? Now look at that. Did you notice that, and by the way, there's a question. There's a question mark there in his English version. So he's asking them, did you start by the spirit? Now you're gonna finish by works? One of the arguments that we have, one of the things that we keep talking about is that some of you guys, you receive salvation by the spirit and you wanna keep it by, not the spirit, but by another means. That's Paul's question. So he's getting on them for even entertaining this. But then he's gonna make a sharp rebuke to anyone that actually follows this. Let's go back and listen to him because he's gonna read over, but I don't think he's gonna pay attention to what he's reading. He says, did you suffer these things in vain? So for no purpose. They had received the spirit and he says, was this all in vain? For freedom, Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit, listen to this word, again. Do not submit again. So they were freed from the law of Moses. They just went back to it. They turned to a different gospel and went back to it. That's why he said, don't submit again. That word again, you'll see as we go through these, is very important, very crucial. Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look, I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision, he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ. You who would be justified by the law, you have fallen away from grace. Now, here's the problem and this is what he's not doing. Let's go back to that passage and he's not paying attention because his answer, his question is answered here in the passage. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is under the obligation to keep it. You have been, what does he say over here? He says, okay, I just wanna make sure that you read the same part. You have been severed from Christ. You who are seeking to be justified by the law, you have fallen from grace. Well, what's the problem here? What's the problem? Now, by the way, if you notice how he reads this, I wanna put something back on the screen because he wants to make an issue of this word again. He makes an issue of this, he says, and do not submit again to a Yoke of Slavery. Is that even in this? Okay. He says, do not be subject again to a Yoke of Slavery. Well, if you're gonna say do not be subject again to a Yoke of Slavery, that kind of imply that they haven't. But here's what Paul says. And I testify again that every man who receives circumcision, he has to keep the whole law. So you gotta keep the whole law. If how you wanna be saved is by keeping the law, well, then fine, have at it. You can be saved if you keep the whole law. Yep, absolutely. If you wanna keep the whole law, you can be saved. You gotta keep all of it from beginning to end. Matter of fact, you can never have actually violated the law. So you gotta start off perfect and you have to end perfect. The problem is you can't end perfect. I mean, start off perfect because you already are imperfect. Secondly, notice what he says. He says, you have been severed from Christ. Now, this word severed is in the heiress tense, meaning it happened in the past. You have been cut off or severed from Christ. Who has been severed from Christ? Whoever it is that is seeking to be justified, all the ones who are seeking to be justified by the law. You have fallen from grace. So there it is. Every single person that has a desire to be saved by the keeping of the law, he says you have already been cut off. He didn't say that the believers have been cut off. Those that want to do so by the law, those are the ones that have been cut off. He's not reading it. We've covered before. Is there ever anyone that has fallen from grace? No, he's saying you've been cut off. The problem is sometimes we try to understand it in the way that we see things in English, but they're fine. If you want to use an English understanding, I say it before. There are teams that at the beginning of the football or basketball season early on, they have been cut off. They have fallen from the playoffs. Even though the playoffs hadn't started, they hadn't made it there yet, but they've been cut off. They've fallen from out of the playoffs, but I've never been in the playoffs. Falling from, this is the direction of them. You are falling away. You're going away from it. That means that you were actually there. And that's Paul's point. You can't make it there. The bridge is washed away. You have been cut off. You have been severed from the other side because you want to go this route. With that route, there is no way to get there. This other route, so if you want to go that route, fine, you've already been cut off. That's his point. That is those who want to go that route. But then what does Paul come back and say? This isn't you though. This isn't you, but you are foolish to even entertain. You are, notice what he says though. Notice what he says. Paul says that you are foolish to even entertain this. You are foolish to even entertain this. Alan, come back and answer the question just a little bit. I've marked it. I'll come back and answer the question in a little bit, my friend. So anyone that wants to entertain this, doing things to keep yourself safe, you are foolish to even entertain. That's why it calls you, you old foolish relations. Let's go to one more and I'll go ahead and let you guys pick. Let me just, let me slide ahead. Let me find, let me just find one. I'm sorry, put it on the screen. Let me, let me move the cursor. Let me, let me, okay. Here's a good one. I won't read it. I won't read it. After this one, I'll let you guys pick. But he's like many others choose, choose Hebrews six as an example. Matter of fact, do y'all want to, yeah, let's see what he says. Let's see what he says about it. And then have fallen away. See, this is that same idea. You can't fall away from something that you were never in. You can't fall off the second story roof if you were never on the second story roof. And then here, okay. There's a problem, sir. This is why he's wrong. Let's go to the passage Hebrews. Let me type it in Hebrews six. It's almost as though. And I believe you actually have to intentionally ignore what the passages are saying. For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of 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, then have fallen away. It is impossible to renew them. What happens is, if you're in such a hurry to find verses that prove that you can fall away, such a hurry to find verses that prove that you can lose your salvation, you'll find them. It's like the person who wants to find out if you, if the lady thinks that her boyfriend is cheating, if that's what she really believes and everything that she sees is gonna point to that. He came home two and a half minutes late. Yeah, well, he must be doing something wrong. She comes home and she touches the car to make sure is this warm or cold, the engine. If you look for it, you'll find it. If you look for a sign, you'll find Mary's face in your oatmeal if you're looking for her. If you're looking for an opportunity or a way to fall away, then you'll find it because you look for the word fallen away. Here's a problem with this though, because you look for the word fallen away, you did not see what was immediately behind it. And then it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. So if you're going to believe that you can fall away, then you have to believe if you can fall away, you can't come back. If you're gonna use this passage, if you believe that a believer who has tasted the heavenly gift and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, if you believe that you can fall away, then according to verse six, it is impossible to renew that person again according to that passage. So you're gonna read it, read the whole thing. But what is Paul, I keep saying Paul, what is the writer of Hebrews speaking of? The writer of Hebrews is speaking to these Jews who all of their existence that they know of for 2000, 3000 years, 3000 years, 2000 years, almost 3000 years, all they know is the law. The law tells them, which is why we go from four to 10 speaking about Jesus as His High Priest and the keeping of the law and that you don't have to keep the law anymore. Why? Why is Jesus making the point to these Jews? These are Jewish believers we know because this is written to these Hebrews even though this has a title to the Hebrews, it doesn't say that actually in the writing but we know it's to the Hebrews, to the Jews. He keeps bringing up all of these things having to do with the day of atonement and there seems to be atone for in the law. Because for them, they believe you have to keep being atoned for every year, year after year after year because that's what it was under the law. Every year there are these reminders of their sin and this bad constant, yeah, I'm a bad, I got to keep atoning for my sin. And so what does the writer want them to believe? To know, well, fine. If you think you can lose it after having been, after having tasted the Holy Spirit, partaken of the Holy Spirit and you fall away, well then you can never come back. That's the writer's point. But then he goes on and tells them that you cannot fall away, that you have been sanctified and perfected one time for all. There is no longer a debt that you owe. There are no longer any sins that you have to pay for or atone for. Previously he tells what you know you had to, but now you're not. You have been sanctified by the Holy Spirit and you are being made perfect. That's the writer's point. So now, what I want to do though is I want to ask you guys, there are, let's put it back on the screen, there are, how many? 53 minutes in this. So I'm going to ask you guys, you all tell me where you want to go. There's 53 minutes, so I will slide the slider to wherever you say to slide it to, to the 22nd minute, well we are in 22nd minute, to the 25th minute, to the 18th minute, to the 30th minute, to the 42nd minute. You all tell me in the chats, it's on the screen, so wherever you guys tell me to go, that's where I'll go because we'll just answer, we can't go over all 40 of the ones that he says. Can't go over all 40. And if all 40 are like the first one that we saw and the previous one, then we know what kind of situation we're dealing with. So I'm going to let you guys determine, you just say, hey, go to the 32nd mark, go to the 50th minute mark, go to the, I don't know, the 28th minute mark. And then from there, I will go ahead and Sheila's the first one, so Sheila says go to the 39 minute mark. So let's slide to the 39 minute mark. And where is that at 39, 39, 39, 39. Okay. Thus that he will spew the lukewarm Christians out of his mouth in Revelation 3.16. He spews the lukewarm out of his mouth. Jesus threatens that believers can have their lamp stand removed if they don't repent in Revelation 2.5. Does Jesus tell the believers, I don't know, I promise you, I have never seen these arguments. So let's go to Revelation, what was that Revelation 2.5? Does Jesus threaten to spew the believer out of his mouth? Let's go there. Let's start in verse one though. How about that? The one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and the one who walks among the seven golden lampstand says this, I know your deeds and you're toiling your perseverance. Huh, your perseverance. All right. And that you cannot tolerate evil men and you do put to test those who call themselves apostles and they are not, and you found them to be false. And you have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake. Huh, you have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake. Okay. All right. Interesting that he says that you have persevered and endured. So at this point they persevered and endured. Look what he says though. Verse four, but I have this against you that you have left your first love. Therefore remember where you have fallen and repent and do the deeds you did at first or else I'm coming to you and we'll remove your lampstand out of its place unless you repent. I've got a question for you guys. You all help me out. In Revelation, Christopher, you should answer this question. What is a lampstand? What are the lampstands? I just want you guys to tell me. That way he can hear. So, let me move this over because I want you guys to see. I want that. Does anyone know what the lampstands are? Cause it's vitally important. He didn't say salvation. He said lampstands. Thank you, Darryl. Or dark. I'm sorry, dark. I thought it was Darryl King, he says dark King. They are the churches. Tina, the church. Oh God, this is why you guys are smart Christians. Yeah. So let me ask you a question. Does anybody know where the church of Thyro Tyre is or the church of, they're gone. Most churches that are founded where there's an actual congregation and gathering your people, most churches cease at some point, not the overall church, the body, but that local congregation might cease to be a local congregation. It might be a hurricane that comes. Might be persecution. What have you? He says, let's put it back on the screen. Therefore, remember where you have fallen repent or I'm coming and I will remove your lampstand out of its place. You will cease to be a congregation, a church. Not that you lose your salvation because he already told them that you are persevering, that I know of your perseverance and have endured. Are you all with me? So he's not speaking about salvation. You can't make that to be salvation. All right, let's go to the next one. Give me another one, guys. Give me, what's the next minute market you guys want me to go to? Uh-huh, let's move. I think someone may have given some already, if you all are giving some now. Dutch says go to 33, so I'm going to 33. All right, go to 33. 33, have them screen, 33. We covered the virgins. Okay, let's cover it again. Let's cover it again. That's what he's speaking of right here. He's covered, he's got a few of them. So he's covered the virgins lamp, went out. Let's go to Matthew 25. And then I want to go to the one that he has in the Old Testament too. The fool has said to the prude and give us some of your oil for our lamps are going out. But the prude answered, no, there will not be enough for us and you. Now, if someone were to say that the oil represents the Holy Spirit, Houston, we got a problem. Has anyone ever been told that the oil may possibly represent the Holy Spirit? I've heard it before. That can't be the case. The reason why is there's no such example ever of someone receiving the Holy Spirit by someone else. I can't give you my Holy Spirit. So this is not speaking of the Holy Spirit, okay? It can't be. You don't get the Holy Spirit. Hey neighbor, let me get some of your Holy Spirit. I need some Holy Spirit, give me some of yours. That's unbiblical. Anyway, verse 10. And while they were going away to make purchase, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast and the door was shut. Later, the other virgins also came saying, Lord, open the door for us. But he answered, truly I say to you, I do not know you. That's it. That's the end there. I do not know you. Meaning, I don't know you. Same thing what Jesus said in Matthew 7. I never knew you. I have no, I don't know you. So therefore, since I don't know you, guess what's not gonna happen? I am not, by the way, someone will say, well, yeah, I don't know you right now. I don't know you right now, but you used to know me. You can't even say that in this passage. Again, words have meaning. So let's go to the passage in Greek. He says, uk oida hemas. I want you guys to look at the bottom of the screen where it says oida. Do y'all see that this isn't the single, the perfect, active, indicative? Because it's the perfect tense, meaning the perfect tense in Greek means it is a completed action from the past. So the Lord is saying, I never knew you. I have no, I didn't know you. Don't know you now, never knew you then. Okay. Then he brings up, what was it? He brings up Exodus 32, 33. So let's go to Exodus 32, 33. Go to the Old Testament. Exodus 32, 33. Exodus 32. This is a passage where Moses is speaking. Matter of fact, let's go back up a little further. Then 31, then Moses returned to the Lord and said, alas, this people has committed a great sin. And they have made a God of gold for themselves. Look what he says. But now, if you will forgive their sin. And if not, please blot me out from your book which you have written. The Lord said to Moses, whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book. But go now, leave the people where I told you, behold, my angels shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sins. Question, question, which book, that's all, which book? David also brings this book up as well. And the book that he's speaking of is the book of the living. Oh wait a second, Corey, what's the difference between the book of life and the book of living? Well, first of all, they have no idea of the book of life, the Lamb's book of life, what lamb? But the book of living, they understand that this, by the way, they're more than one book. We know that they're plural books because in Revelation, the Bible says books were open aside from the book of life. So there are books. And so in this case, he's speaking of the book of the living, because what does he go and do with these people pretty soon, like he promises? Kills them all. Takes them out of the land of the living. All right, next one, next, where do I go to next guys? Where do I go to next? We've got a few more minutes left. Where on here on this slide, on this timeline, should I go? The 14th minute, the eighth minute, the 25th minute, there are 53 minutes and I've managed probably the last few minutes of this screen of this video. He didn't really talk about it, but I'd like to know, again, none of his arguments, by the way, what's interesting is all of his arguments, we've actually covered all of his arguments. Brian says to go to the 27 minute mark. Okay, so let's go to the 27 minute mark. 27 minute mark, let's find the 27. First Timothy, 69, okay. Actually, let's let him play it, let's listen to him. Away from the faith, if they never were in the faith to begin with, if they've never had to go into a hole, that means that you weren't in there at one point. Okay, then Christians who desire to be rich. Paul says, but those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare. Okay, we know that snare is referring to being taken captive. Before we were held captive by the devil and we've been made free in Christ, right? So this is talking about a snare. So if you're bound to something, then you're a slave to that. Jesus said that slaves don't inherit the kingdom of God. They fall into a snare, so they weren't into that snare before, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Again, why would it be talking about people wandering away from the faith if they never were in the faith to begin with, if they've never. Okay, here's his problem. First of all, he makes the assumption, and so that's a problem when you make the assumption that these are Christians. This is first Timothy, 69. He makes assumption automatically that they're Christians, but he's not paying attention to the words. First Timothy, 69. Let's see, don't wanna start there. Let's start in verse three. Yeah, yeah, Brian. He wants to lose his salvation. Well, he didn't wanna lose his salvation so bad. He wants others. And I've said this before and they get mad, but you guys seem to want other folks to lose their salvation so bad. You guys never lose your salvation, but others do. You guys, all the people that always say that you can lose your salvation, they never lose theirs or they're saved right now. But other folks, yeah, look at these people. If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those are the Lord Jesus Christ, and with doctrine conforming to Godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing, but has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words out of which arise in the strive for abusive language, evil suspicions. Let's go to verse six, but Godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by content, for we have brought nothing into this world so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering with these, we shall be content, but those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare. So who are we speaking of? One, we know the audience because he's talking about the audience. Let's go back up to verse three. Again, he tells us who the audience is. If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, these are these folks that have this interest in their own selves and about money and they see this as a means of gain. So we get to verse nine, but those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. Four, the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Now, here's the question. Wandering away from the faith. They have apah, they have wondered and the word apah is from the direction from leading away from taste pistails which is from the, what is this word again? Is it a noun or a verb? This is a noun. They have wandered away from the tenets of the faith. It is possible. For anyone to believe a set of principles. For example, how many of you guys in the chats are 40 years or older? I'm gonna say 40, 40 years older, maybe in the 30s but definitely 40 and older. The reason why I ask this question is because if you are 40 and over have you all witnessed how Americans have wandered away from our set of beliefs? How Americans as a matter of fact have wandered away from the constitution? Has anyone seen that? We don't believe like we used to believe anymore. We don't think like we used to think as a country. We had what was called this American exceptionalism. We thought that America was the greatest country ever and it probably is, at least right now it is. Lee is, now it's not difficult to say that nowadays because heck the whole world is in chaos. Some of you folks are a lot younger than I thought though. But we have left what we used to hold to. We have left the belief that a man can only be a man. We have left the belief that only women can be women. We have left the belief that there are only two genders. And by the way, you know who left that belief? Americans who happen to be either male or female. It's possible to leave a set of beliefs. Is it possible for someone in the Bible to leave a set of beliefs? Well, sure. So my question would be, is there anyone in the Bible that we see that left a set of beliefs? Or do we think that Paul or John or James never covered anyone that left a set of beliefs? Yeah, that's what he's talking about here. That's what he's talking about in First Timothy 4. Leaving a set of beliefs. I've left the faith, not from having faith. I've left the belief, not from believing. That is why my friend, and I'll take one more, we'll do one more and then we'll leave. But that is why, and I'm sorry, I answered a couple of questions as well, as I see it already have up here. But that is why the Bible describes us as believers as, how does it describe us guys? As the believing ones. That's why the Greek is important. I think every pastor should be familiar to some degree with Hebrew and Greek. And I think also, if you're gonna be on YouTube or Facebook, whatever, you're teaching people or you're attempting to do so, you should be familiar with it as well. Because no one knows that you're a knucklehead. I'm not saying that this person is a knucklehead. I'm just using an example. If a knucklehead, who follows, let me ask you guys a question. This will make sense. Who follows a fool? And again, I'm not saying that this gentleman here is a fool, but who follows a fool? Another fool. A fool follows a fool. And so the fool who's following the fool, the one who's following doesn't know that the one that he's following is actually a fool. You didn't know. The person that deceived you, you didn't know that he was deceptive. You had no idea. How many people followed Jim Jones and thought that he was great? Now, we can look back and see, hey, listen, don't follow that guy. Fools follow fools and they don't realize it. The blind follow, hey man, Kelly, the blind follow the blind. They don't, you don't know that. So if you're gonna get on YouTube or anywhere else and you're gonna teach something, you might be foolish, you might not know. But the way that you can help yourself and other people is go through the scriptures, write the dividing, use the Hebrew and Greek. Yeah, we don't need the Hebrew and Greek. We just need the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave it to us in Hebrew and Greek. So therefore, if you wanna do that, let not many of you be teachers. Why? Because there is a stricter condemnation. Now, some of the questions that were asked, let me ask some of these questions. I have a question. What if you don't feel sorry, don't feel guilt sometimes when you practice sin? Well, we might have a problem, my friend. If you can practice sin and nothing bothers you because the Holy Spirit resides in you, that is if you are indeed a Christian. If indeed you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit resides in you, there should be some. Now, do you feel guilty immediately? No, not always. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. For example, let me give you a case in point because I wanna say, well, no, you should feel remorse and guilt as soon as you sin. If someone does, you're having a bad day, if someone gets on your nerves, someone comes and slaps you and you react and you know you overreacted. Do you feel like that immediately at the sin? No, no. Then you might come back, you know, I was wrong for that. So if at no point in time does your sin bother you, then that might be indicative of a problem. Okay, so at some point in time, you've got to have, there's got to be something that causes you, but now, do you, yeah, you know what, I've been, you don't walk around as a believer, walk around all day like, man, I'm so messed up, I'm so this, I'm so, no, that's not it, but the fact of who you are should bother, just like it bothered Paul. What is backsliding in the Bible? I'm glad you asked. Let me put this on the screen because people keep bringing up backsliding. So let me go to the screen, guys. This is the issue and it shouldn't be an issue. So let's go to the screen. Let me go to the Old Testament section. Let me type in backslide and I want you guys to see something. Let me put it on flex so it'll show every derivative of backslide, backsliding, backslider, backsl, whatever. Yeah, that's how many times in the Bible. Let's put it again, let's do it another way, backslider, if I type it different way, backsliders, why is it not doing that? Backslider, one time, backslide. Let's see, backsliding. So backsliding, backslider. Now, depending upon, matter of fact, let's do this. Let's put it in the King James version. Let me go to the King James version one second. Let's put it in the King James version because that word might be used more in the King James version. Matter of fact, I know it is used more in the King James version. Same time, backslider, backslider. The word that's used for backslider is this word sug. It just meant someone that has turned back. The term backslider, or backslide, or backsliding is only used, guys, is only used with regard to Israel. It's the word is never found in the New Testament. It's never found in the New Testament. Now, is there something that's similar to backslide in the New Testament? Well, apostasy, I guess, is to intentionally move away from, but every time we see someone that's intentionally moving away from, it is someone who doesn't have the spirit, it's a willful moving away, okay? So I would caution folks not to even use the word backslider, backslider, because it's just not, it's not a New Testament word. Thank you, Mike, for the super sticker. Thank you so much. What about a person who gave their life to Christ, got baptized, experienced Christ, and is now living in the world? A couple of things we have to understand. One, you and I don't know if the person actually did give their life to Christ, or place of faith in Christ. We don't know. There's no way for us to know. A person can say, yeah, I gave my life to Christ, I was living on fire for the Lord, and now, not so much. We don't know. We never know. The person might have been somebody that we described in Luke 6, Luke 8, who believed temporarily, but that person is not, Jesus is making it clear. In Luke, it's on the screen, and then we'll get ready to leave. We go to Luke 8, because this is where I think too many people are missing this point, Luke 8. And I know I cover this an awful lot, but I think Jesus is nailing the point for us. Speaking of the parable of the seed and the soil, I mean the seed and the soil, now the parables is the seed is the word of God. So the word of God is the seed. Whose heart or what soil is being planted on, or in, is the issue. Those beside the road are those who have heard. Remember the guy said that he's describing a Christian as someone who heard and believed, but Jesus is getting ready to make it clear that hearing and believed is not salvation. Jesus is gonna make that point clear. Those beside the road are those who have heard, then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart. Why? Let's move this up on the screen on the Greek side. Why does he do so? Henna may pistu santes in order that they won't be believing. Why is that important? Because it's the ones who are believing who are those that are saved. Not the one that believed. This is why the Greek is important. But he says, so they will not be believing and be saved, because believing is how you get saved. Then he says, those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy and these have no firm root. Look what he says. They believe for a while and in time of temptation, fall away. Huh, they fall away. Is that right? By the way, it's a different word. It's a different word, but it still relates in the same way, but still. They believe, they hear and believe for a while. What's the problem? Why do people believe and hear for just a while? What's the issue that Jesus is gonna bring up? Jesus' issue is that they have a bad heart. The soil in which the word is planted on is the issue. He says, the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard and they go on their way and are choked with the worries and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no food to maturity. So what's the issue with the first three? Where the word of God was planted, bad soil, but the seed in the good soil, the seed in the good soil, the word of God in the good soil, he says, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart. So the good soil is a good heart and hold it fast and bear fruit with perseverance. So what does Jesus say they're gonna do when they receive in a good heart? They hold it fast and bear fruit with perseverance. So when someone comes back and says that you have to hold fast, you have to keep believing, you have to bear fruit, you got to persevere. Amen, amen, amen. And Jesus is saying they will. Why? Because of the soil where the word was planted. This heart, who gives us the good heart? Jesus tells us the Lord does. That heart is born from above. You can't make yourself be born from above. That's on God. Now, why do I reject free grace? Cause I can read the Bible. That's why I reject free grace. Here comes problem. Somebody's gonna say something, which is fine. Which is fine. So the question I would ask though, if they were to go back and read some passages what God says, God says that a person who has the spirit in them will never turn away and God will never turn away from them and he will cause them to walk in their statutes. What does that mean? They'll never answer the question. One last question. Craig says, Corey, you misrepresented first Corinthians 16. You should read Young's Little Translation which is the best Bible version we have today. It says they did go astray from the faith. Not wonder. The word wanted it meaning thing. Let's go back to it. First, what was that first? Well, it wasn't first Timothy. I mean, first Corinthians, first Timothy. Is that it? Yeah. Let's put it on the screen. And this word for wonder or to go astray. You said that they did. The word is they to go astray. Fine, it doesn't matter. The word to wander or to go astray. It is made up of two words. Appa and Plane. Appa, Plane, Thason. They wandered or went astray. But you missed the point, Craig. You missed the point. The point is wandered away from what? Appa, Plane, and Thason. Appa, Thase, Pisteos, wandered away from the faith. There's a reason why I'm saying the faith, the tenets of the faith. Can anybody believe that you must place your faith in Christ, that you are not a good person, you're sinful, that you just died for your sins, you must be holy, live holy, all those things. And then later, you know what? The holy part, maybe not so much. Nah, I think I'm a good person. God knows my heart. They have left what they used to believe. Yes, that's possible. That's what he's talking about. Or else he would have said, wander away from having believing or from having faith. He didn't say that. It does not say that, amen. And so when we throw out passages, I want folks to come back and say, well, this is what this means, but they never do. They never do. Again, Jesus, and let me just help the brother out. Jesus literally, and this will be where I end. I'll end here because I still say, Brian L. Chess, Chess Champ, OG, is still undefeated. Matter of fact, the whole book is undefeated. What's undefeated? Ask the other folks, if y'all don't know what he's talking about, what's undefeated? Ask Sheila, or Spider Monkey. Ask Dutch, what's undefeated? Ask Chess Champ, ask Monkey Moves. What is undefeated? What is the one thing? I don't care who it is. I don't care if it's doctor so-and-so, whoever it is, it is undefeated. Undefeated. What's undefeated? Corey, well, this text that they get mad at me for bringing the simple keys of nose, they get mad at me for, I don't care if you get mad at me, I'll keep bringing it up. It's not like I put it there in the Bible. Jesus did. Jesus did. Somebody says, I need Acts 238. I need to repent, be baptized. And we've covered it before. I have repented and been baptized, which is namely receiving the Holy Spirit, which is what the passage literally says, but all of chapter 10. So let me go to John chapter 10 and let's leave this on a positive note and on a biblical note. And then let's see if those detractors can stay with what I'm saying. By the way, don't come back with, well, Corey, it's an if. If you do this, then, because let's just be true to the text. Let's do what Paul says and learn not to exceed what is written. Don't add to the text. Don't take away. Let's go with what it says. So John 10, he's speaking about his sheep and who is the great shepherd. Well, that would be Jesus Christ himself. He says, to him, the doorkeeper opens and the sheep hear his voice. The sheep, that's us hear whose voice? His voice, the shepherd. And he calls his own sheep. Notice what he says. His own sheep. Thy idiot propiti, which is his own sheep. And leads them. What does he do with his own sheep? Jesus leads his own sheep. Not anyone else's sheep. He leads his own sheep. And he's gonna say something that my friend from a bite in the word, this is what you need to focus on. This is what you need to hear. Verse four, when he puts forth all his own sheep, I want you to see on the right-hand side, Hattantai idiapantai, when his own all, he puts forth which sheep? One, his own, and how many of his sheep? All of them. All of his own sheep. All, don't let that part leave you. His own and all of them. Yes, that's right, RJC, us sheepesses. All of us sheepesses. This is the most important thing that you're gonna hear all day, by the way. This is the most important thing you're gonna, yeah, I'm gonna be, listen, I can say this boldly, I can say this confidently, because I didn't write it, I'm just really parroting what was said, but it's awesome. And it's not me that said it. Matter of fact, it's not Paul that said it. It's not John that said it. It's not Peter that says it. It's not Judas or James. It's not Philip. It's not Bartholomew. It's not Andrew, Andy I call him. It's not David. It's not Abraham. No, who says this? Jesus says this. He says he puts forth all of his own, all of it. He says he goes ahead of them. Does he go ahead of them? My question, does Jesus go ahead of his sheep? Yes, all of us sheepesses, who's in front? Jesus. We know that's a fact. And if that part is a fact that he goes ahead of them, then so too does bringing forth all of his own. And look what he says. And the sheep follow him, us sheepesses. Us sheepesses, and the reason why I say sheepesses because the word sheep in English is sheep singular plural, but in the Greek probata, it is the plural. So that's why I have to say us sheepesses. All of us sheepesses, what do we do? We follow him. This word achalothe, we follow him. Can I ask a question, ladies and gentlemen? Why do us sheepesses follow the shepherd? Well, you don't have to go very far to find the answer. All of us sheepesses follow because he says, hate oidassin tain foine outu, because we know or they know the voice of his. The reason why us sheepesses do this, and keep following and following and following, we go this way and go this way and go this way. If he stops, we stop. If he moved to the right, we move to the right. Move to the left, we move. All of us sheepesses follow. All of us why, as he says, because hate oidassin, they know tain the voice of him. That's why. But it gets better. Oh, it's better than what I just said. It gets better, better er in verse five. He says, a stranger, but a stranger, they will never follow. Now, it's not that they might follow. No, that's not what he says. He says, guys, in the most emphatic way that a person can say in Greek. He says they will never ever, ever, ever ever, ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Hold on, reset this, watch some more. Ever, ever ever ever, ever ever, ever ever, ever, ever, never, never, never. Now, uh-uh, not never, uh-huh, yeah, no, no, not ever, never, nope, nope, not ever. That's how he says it. Corey, you're making that, nope, that's what he says. Umay, that's the most emphatic way, it's a double negation of a future active indicative, meaning it will never, ever happen in the future. Because it's a future active indicative. This word by itself, akalu-feisul-sin, means will follow. But when you go, yeah, I can go another hour with that, huh Wayne? But when it says, umay, no, not ever will follow at any point in time in the future, because it's a future active indicative, my friend, you cannot go against that. And you will not find a scholar that can use the Greek to say that's wrong. They'll say, yeah, but it's an if. You gotta have an if, if you keep, that's not what it says. A stranger, they will never follow. They will never follow if they keep following Jesus. That's not what it says. There is no condition here. But willfully, as a matter of fact, he says they willfully, Jesus says they will, this is a future active indicative as well, they will flee from the voice. Why? Because they don't know his voice. They don't know the stranger. So if it's Islam, if it's Buddhism, if it's Hinduism, if it's atheism, if it's me-ism, if it's them-ism, if it's her-ism, if it's whatever-ism, that person will not follow it. Well, yeah, but I would say that I followed after for a while and came back when you wasn't as sheep then. I know of a person who was that, this person was devout. Yeah, they wouldn't know they weren't. They looked like it. They looked like Judas. Look good. But when we open them up, nope, sorry. That's what Jesus is saying. Let's go back to it. They will never follow in the most emphatic way. The problem is as harsh or as strong as I can say it, it doesn't do just to how Jesus said it. Oh, by the way, this is Jesus saying it. And so then, well, he's only talking about the Jewish sheep. He's only talking about the, there you go, Cordell. He says, by us, that's what a sheep is to do. He's only talking about the Jewish sheep, no, because when we get down to verse 16, he says, I am the good shepherd and I know my own as a word, my own. And my own, they know me. We know him. Now others might not, they might think they do, but Jesus says, I don't know you. The parable of the 10 virgins, I never knew you. Jesus and Matthew seven, I never knew you. Even as a father knows me and I know the father and I lay down my life for this. Sheep says, I had, look what he says, if you think it's just a Jewish sheep, he says, I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. He says, I must bring them also. And what does he say? And they will hear, not might hear, we will hear. They will hear my voice and they will become one flock with one shepherd. Jesus is awesome in what he's saying. Jesus is awesome in what he's saying. And then we go to the passage that these guys are just absolutely ignorant of, just the Greek. Remember, this is the passage that Dr. Michael Brown deflected. Grave already answered your question. No, you didn't, you kept deflecting. Well, go look at the other scholars. Go look at Gagnon and this other person. When we look at it, they do the exact same thing. They don't deal with the text. That's why this text is undefeated. I don't care who the scholar is, can't get past this, but you don't believe because you are not of my sheep. My sheep, however, my sheep, I added to the however, I'm sorry, my sheep hear my voice. My sheep assist, that's us, that's you guys, my sheep assist hear my voice. Well, he already said that. He already said my sheep hear my voice and will not follow or listen to anybody else's voice. So that part has already been made. He's already determined and told us what sheep do, how they act, how they are. And so he goes in again, he says, my sheep hear my voice and I know them. We are his own guys, remember? And they follow me. Stop coming back and saying, well, if you follow, because if you keep saying if, I'm gonna have to start asking if you are Christian. I'm gonna have to start wondering because you're adding to the text. Stop adding, there is no condition here, not in the English or in the Greek. There is no if. He does not say if you are a sheep, if you keep following. He doesn't say that. He says, my sheep hear my voice and I know them. He says, I give them life. When does he give them life? Right now, because he says so in John 6, if you believe when at that moment, he says you have, aka at that very moment, life forever. That's, Jesus has said that. He says, and they will never ever perish. Umay apalontai and no one has defeated that text. Yes, but you have to be a sheep. We're talking about the sheep, your knucklehead. I'm sorry to call your knucklehead, but if you're not getting it, your knucklehead. Sorry, love you, love you. Listen, love you to death. Love you to death. I don't mean to be mean. I don't, I really don't. But I'm calling your knucklehead because you're not getting it through your thick head. You're not getting it through your thick skull. And so I've got to call your knucklehead. And it's okay. Listen, it is perfectly okay. Though you are a sheep and saved, guess what's possible? You can be saved and stupid. Tweet that, you can be saved and stupid. You can be saved and stupid. So listen, knucklehead, if you're gonna keep denying this, fine, you don't have any texts. The text says, and don't go to all these other texts because we keep answering these other texts. You still won't answer this text. You won't answer this. You won't answer Jeremiah 32, 39 and 40. You won't answer Ezekiel 11 and 19. You won't answer Ezekiel 36, 25 to 27. You won't answer John 6, 37 through 47. You won't answer those texts. You won't answer Colossians 2, 14, where the debt has been paid. You won't answer Hebrews 8 through 10, including 26, 27. What does that say, when you get 39, that's not you. You guys are not like that. Those who shrink back, that's not you. You won't answer that. So he says, I give them eternal life. And he says, and when he says, ooh, may I belong tithe? This is a subject which says that the possibility of perishing in the future is negated. The possibility. And how did you become a sheep? Well, he changed your heart. Wouldn't he do so? The Bible says that he caused all of us to be born again. And those who are born again, he says that we, because we're born again, we are overcomers. We overcome. I feel fired up. I could go another hour, but I can't. I can go another hour, but I cannot. So therefore, I'm gonna have to cut it off now. But before I do, Larea, thank you so much for the super chat. I appreciate that. That's a very generous gift. Thank you so much. Guys, by the way, I've got so much to do. I've actually gotta start, can you see those books over there? If you see the books, I have to start my reading. I've gotta do some website stuff. I've gotta put some more stuff on Patreon. What I've decided to do with some of the questions is to put them on Patreon. So go to Patreon. You'll see a few more questions, a few more videos on Patreon. Patreon is free, all right? You can pay if you want to. The tiers, the different tiers. Again, if you were to pay for the different tiers, you'll get nothing. Nothing else. You'll get nothing and like it. You don't get anything else. All you do is get the benefit, the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to get the word out. Obviously they were here, but also to youth here in the area all over, because we help to support youth in the different Christian youth programs, as well as people getting Bibles in prison and organizations that send Bibles overseas. So, yeah, I had to come on Earth because I have to do something. So that being the case, go to Patreon, sign up. Let me say it again. Go to, if you don't go to Patreon, I promise you, I'm gonna do something to you. I'm a kid, I can't do anything to you, but leveling you. And so when you guys ask questions, when people ask questions, then I'll take those questions, put them on Patreon, then after a while bring them on to the channel. Says I'm gonna breeze through DTS. I'm sure, man. Deakin' you a profit. Profit and Deakin' Chris. Profit, Deakin' Chris. Yeah, I hope so. I hope so. The problem with it is, is the amount of time studying, the reading and the writing. That's the bigger part of Seminary. It's just the reading, the large amount of reading and the large amount of writing. So, anyway. Oh, yeah, there it is. There it is. There's a website. Go to the website, check out the website. We'll be adding videos as well, and doing some, we got a lot to fix on the website. We got a lot to update on the website as well as the church search. If anyone wants a, looking for a church home, send an email to info at smartchristians.org. This evening, I'll spend some more time on responding to the questions and so forth. And as well as the other email. So, that being the case. Now the gentleman who said, how did he start this thing off? He started off by saying that he's found. I said that there's not one example of anyone in the Bible. How did he put it? That's what he said. He said this, there is not one example of a person having the spirit in them, being a believer, and then losing their salvation. Now, Corey is right in a sense. There isn't just one example in the New Testament. There's actually over four. You're gonna have to learn to respect me. Yeah. There's no examples. There's no example of anybody in the Bible with the Holy Spirit that lost it. Not one. Still. God bless you guys.
