in the new uh... testament where they support it in the news podcast i'm not sure what that means uh... no i said the new testament oh new testament okay uh... romans thirteen verse four uh... the government is a minister to god for good if you do what is evil be afraid for does not bear the sword for nothing and the sword was used for executions in that culture in that time yes but doesn't that go against the whole you know jesus defended life not only in the womb which i support as well i am definitely pro-life but i believe in life not only from the womb but to the tomb should we not take it upon ourselves to take life well does it not say here that the government bears the sword and it says it's an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil that's romans thirteen four so it's in the context of the sword that's a minister of god an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil do you think that supports capital punishment do you think that supports capital punishment are you there i i i haven't read the whole okay let me read it to you for it the government talking about it uh... is a minister of god to you for good if you do what is evil be afraid for it does not bear the sword for nothing for it is a minister of god an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil okay so what do you think you can just say hey i'm gonna go study it then i'll call back all right that might be good but that's what it says right there are you there? so jesus did teach love and patience and kindness i guess you hung up there and um... and stuff but he also overturned the temple tables and he called people whitewashed supplicants and he's going to come again to judge the wicked and cast them into eternal fire and this is because of what is righteousness god is loving and patient and kind but he's also holy and just and don't think that he won't execute his judgment upon people for their wickedness he's going to and uh... that's why we need to preach the gospel to people so they won't face that judgment we won't escape it in jesus christ let's get to julie from charlotte north carolina julie welcome you're on the air hey there i love listening to your show thanks i was reading in james nine last night and it says that god hardens the hearts of some so they don't understand the love of god and i don't understand do you mean romans nine because there is no james nine uh... yeah i'm sorry i'm confused yeah i think it is romans nine it is yeah uh... yes he does he uh... and that's what he says um... and it's a very difficult passage for a lot of people but it says uh... it does not depend upon the man who wills the man who runs upon god who has mercy the scripture says you know he raised up pharaoh to demonstrate his power he has mercy on whom he desires he hardens whom he desires that's right that's what it says i've tried to witness to so many people and a couple of them are they say julie you know it's just a fairy tale it's not real and da da da da da da i'm like no it is so real and i've had a couple of circumstances in my life where i know god saved me from death an angel was with me and i know the lord is with me and i want people to love the lord as much as i do and sometimes when they throw things at me like that it confuses me as to what to tell them and then i read that last time and it's like okay so god hardens their hearts maybe yeah and in fact the second thessalonians two he sends a diluting influence on people so they'll believe a lie and mark four ten through twelve jesus speaks in parables so people will not be forgiven huh mark four ten eleven twelve they ask him why you speak in parables he says to you he's been given to see and to hear but to them you speak in parables so they will not return and be forgiven so these are these are the things that uh... don't get focused on not that we want to focus on those things particularly but they are often ignored in the whole of theological examination the person work of god and so he does pardon people but yet also he's very compassionate very patient very kind and so that's why he says yeah uh... it says his patient he's waiting for everyone to come to know him you know second peter three nine yeah and first timothy two four and uh... you know he loves the world john three sixteen and you know of course and yet yeah it's conflicting no it's not conflicting it's just that uh... and i mean this respectfully i mean this very carefully uh... that i went through the same thing and then i've as i studied agree to understand what was happening he said believe i don't know i see how it works god generically loves all people you go to matthew five forty three to forty eight right but he hates individuals who uh... seek sinful things and that's on five five song eleven five and he has the right to do with individuals as he desires romans nine ninety twenty three says so yet he also uh... preacher has the gospel preached as the gospels the power of god to salvation romans one sixteen cents and so yet god is one who chooses people for salvation second thessalonians two thirteen so we see uh... a lot of things happening here and go to even more scriptures but we see a lot of stuff happening god there uses his people the christians to preach and teach that gospel and this is what i'd like to say to people is got a lecture you look in the foundation of the world that's what he says he likes them for salvation in christ that's a vision is one four and five yet but at the same time the more we preach the more people seem to be elect now i don't know how all that was so i don't need their yeah but my pay grade and i just think that's what it's a very good at it well i knew you could explain it better to me and i appreciate you taking my car okay julie will come plus care you too couple of fact all rights let's get to alvin from michigan alvin welcome here on the air all of that i think i got a question about the millennium uh... and uh... when christ comes back like in revelations the common rain for a thousand years jesus literally comes and he rains in jerusalem seems like he would not be faith anymore so how could he would not be what? he would not be what anymore no the one word you see the one word he would not be what anymore uh... we would see him we would not need faith would not see his face f-a-c-e uh... f-a-i-t-e faith oh okay faith i'm sorry oh boy there's a break hold on not exactly correct and we'll get back to the break and i'll explain why okay so please hold on folks we'll be right back after these messages it's matt slick live taking your calls at 877-207-2276 here's matt slick all right we're looking back to the show let's get back on with uh... alvin okay are you there? yeah okay so you're asking about why we won't need faith or no the view of the millennium when christ is raining in in jerusalem? well if jesus comes back everybody every tv camera would be on him when he came back so it's like everybody would know everybody would believe in jesus because everybody would see him so how can that be correct? not everyone will believe in him people saw the miracles of christ when he was there on earth they saw that and they still rejected him judas rejected him and judas saw the miraculous so that that premise wouldn't be accurate also uh... people during the millennial reign from that perspective would still need to have faith in the continued good work of christ and faith in the power of that gospel still to be able to save and have faith in the coming of the arrival of the new heavens and new earth and that christ would continue uh... there in his reigning and also he would still have to be justified by faith still have to be trusting christ during that time so yeah it's it's not a problem so jesus would come back and he would not be not a glorified body just a normal body then? he's already glorified he's already out in a glorified body he's in heaven in a glorified body right now and when he returns he'll return back so if he came back to earth then everybody would realize he was god because everybody would see the glorified body or not? you don't understand not everybody will believe he is who he is it's just the way it is even if they were to see him rise from the dead they won't believe and that was the case when the gospels were written when they saw this just because don't think that just because christ returns and if in that position he does miracles don't believe that people everybody's going to automatically believe in him it's recorded in the scriptures that people in his very presence seeing him raise people from the dead in miracles walking in the water rising from the dead people still rejected him that's the nature of man and if king david comes back and if he reigns in the temple or whatever is that seems like no david's not coming back to reign in the temple but christ is the one who will continue in his reign let's just say that okay all right thank you okay god bless all right next longest waiting person is chuck from birmingham north carolina chuck welcome you're on the air yes sir thank you matt and your intro was fabulous oh thank you i know it was uh... beautiful and the lord died because he's working down upon it and you've really creek the absolute group you know about future from the pulpit you know i think concerning politics because i know it's like a prophetic message we've been to where this country is going and you're giving a warning well you're trying to do the best that you know about people get and that's what you want and that's how you came to go that was just great bob i want to ask you did you say tony evan uh... that preacher from dallas is going socialist it certainly looks like it's there's a quote uh... well read the quote to you and i'll read the quote and and i'm gonna say this that people can sometimes say things and i've done it too where you need more clarification later and you know hopefully it'll be the case there but this is what he says when we follow the poor when we follow when we allow the poor to have worst education than others because they don't have the same dollar bill when we don't care about the health well-being of people who do not have access to adequate health care when we reduce their dignity we have attacked god well what she's saying there is that everybody supposed to have an equal education they're supposed to have equal health care now i'm not that we can debate whether that is or isn't those are some of the platforms of socialism is that everybody right have an equal level of opportunity to everything well it's just not reality and i think it's not a good idea right it's what the socialists groups say they want equality will in order to implement that equality you have to take away from people certain things and that would make it a dictator the in a sense you know and this was social as a mobile becomes as we said when we when we reduce it by law or practice the next call posted life abortion because you are aborting either the length of their existence for the well-being of their existence so it depends on which abortion you're talking about that's a misapplication of that term abortion so i would just politely disagree with him on that usage but with the uh... the question at this point would be well what's he saying that he's saying that everybody should have uh... equal education and one should have uh... health care that is socialism that is it and so that's what i mean by that but every feature is that the thing that people that we could some people are important and they get better peter uh... you know it right yeah and very appropriate world but but so i like the idea you know all of men i like the idea of of everyone having uh... education it's affordable i just got off got done pain just last month paying uh... was at this month paying off my school from nineteen ninety one yeah you know it's just really a lesser it works than people well you know trying to be and in our health care it's a it's a real issue my wife and i have separate health care accounts because of her very unique problems and i wish it was easier but i believe the way to make it easier is not to socialize everything but to privatize everything because competition makes things better we don't want to know if you prefer to it does and it makes it better yeah monopolies are not good and monopolies need to be broken up competition is good and so what socialism does is it re-monopolizes everything under government control and it may sound good on the surface but the implementation of it is what is dangerous it's like an iceberg man it's a beautiful looking iceberg right let's get close to it and then you realize you're in trouble from what lies underneath and that's what my wife my wife hello matt uh... oh my wife grew up in lithuania sally killed her grandfather and her father in uh... uh... siberia from forty to fifty five i guess fifty three and once she was in moscow all the only thing in the store was canned seaweed the only thing nothing else no milk no bread no butter nothing and he is uh... when venezuela venezuela used to be the third richest country in the hemisphere uh... and in two thousand one they elected chavez who then passed laws to redistribute uh... the land and wealth then two thousand four private health care was completely socialized uh... then he started confiscating private property in two thousand five and then fines for uh... prison terms for those in the media who criticized what he said because if you can have that socialized area you can have freedom of press and the criticism of the government and in two thousand six he started using shifting the buying military from the united states to russia and uh... he wanted to then get control of the key uh... energy communication companies in two thousand seven then in two thousand seven he said all higher education becomes free he then said exxon mobil and conoco phillips uh... were to give over control of all their operations to the venezuelan government and they said no he kicked them out of the government out of the country and then voters approved, now that's suspicious, planned to abolish term limits then in two thousand nine they banned private ownership of guns in two thousand twelve government forces uh... price controls on basic goods to battle against inflation this is what happens and in two thousand seventeen the constitution and elections were suspended and in two thousand eighteen two million venezuelans fled to neighboring countries since nineteen uh... since two thousand fourteen yeah this is real life socialism there it is the third richest country in the hemisphere uh... within twenty years from socialistic principles of famine and uh... people being jailed starvation people leaving the country because of socialistic principles so there you go. It's amazing how you can remember all this stuff. Well the lord gave me a good mind. No reading up my notes is an article on karm what is socialism and is it biblical so just read my notes yeah go check it out okay yeah well you've got yeah you've still got a good mind the lord uh... knew what he was doing when he picked him up uh... I wouldn't go that far I wouldn't say I would say that if if i'm being used by god it just demonstrates how bad things are out there that he has to resort to someone like me that's what i say alright brother okay thank you matt alright okay god bless alright let's get to Giffella from Des Moines Iowa hello what do you got?
