question here okay and god knows who we are the state and if if we were safe from to begin in the foundation of the world well let's talk about that before you go on knows who will get saved does not mean that he knows who will freely choose him because it's in their nature to do so that's not what it means a lot of people think that's what it means that god just knows what people are gonna just freely choose him because it's in their free will to do it that's not what uh... predestination means even though a lot of people think that's what it is so that's good to see if we will go home to be with the lord well we went to the lord before in heaven no pre-existence nope there's no pre-existence i don't care what mormons teach and others teach there is no pre-existence all right uh... it's been a long time i had to quote this verse let's see first verse fifteen i think it's fifty six let me see if that's the right one nope that's not it forty five nope that's not it uh... first let's see yeah here we go forty six this is first coming to fifteen forty six however the spiritual is not first but the natural then the spiritual now the context is about the order of the resurrection we have a physical body here that's the natural body and after that comes the spiritual body but it says specifically the spiritual is first not the spiritual but the physical so the resurrected body now could it be limited only to the talk of this here uh... this earth here and that could be the case but it talks to talk with the resurrection and so we have a spiritual body waiting for us it says the physical body is first it doesn't necessitate that there's no uh... pre-existence in that strictly logical sense but there's nothing in scripture that says that we pre-existed now some people go to jeremiah one five it says i knew you before you were made what that means is that god only knows believers he only knows the elect they're chosen from the foundation of the world, Ephesians one four he only has a knowing of them it's not knowledge of them it's knowing which the bible teaches has to do with being saved my sheep hear my voice and i know them john ten twenty seven jesus says and you know matthews seven twenty three he says to the people who are doing bad stuff get away from me i never knew you and so when he says he knows he was doing with salvation which is why it says in romans uh... eight twenty nine those whom he foreknew he also predestined the foreknown ones are also the predestined ones so the foreknown doesn't mean that he knew them beforehand in a actual existing way but it has to do with predestination and election and so this is what's going on and you never find anything in scripture that says we pre-existed is just not there in the bible okay matt thank you so much and god bless you well was that did that somehow answer one of your questions it does it does it does thank you a lot of people are going to say this again it's a mistake for people to say that god looks into the future to see who will pick them and then he predestines them that is faulty it's unbiblical and it's actually heretical and the reason it's heretical is because it means that god is basing his decisions on a good quality in us and there is nothing good in us romans three ten eleven twelve and that would also mean that god was showing favoritism uh... by saving people who have a good quality in themselves that violates james two two through four and so there are lots of problems with it and most christians don't think these things through and don't know the biblical theology associated with it but i'm trying to help them out okay all right okay god bless all right that was kim from rural hall north carolina three open lines what you give me a call eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six we just lost troy and uh... his was on romans eleven twenty six i don't know what that because it's about israel let's see and uh... all israel be saved i wonder what that question was going to be call back if he wants let's uh... get to monique and give the number out here folks four open lines give me a call eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six you're on the air good evening pass on to your wife she stays in my heart and i pray for her got a real connection with her never seen her in my life my question oh i'm serious i'm serious uh... my question in your own strength i think that for the absolutely possibility of my life for one clear thing which is this very obvious that i do not know what i'm doing now committed my life i love his work my question to you and i've done consciously what i know but i see that that's not enough and that's a good thing my my question to you though please is there a scripture in particular uh... that you would suggest on your years uh... upper bernie meditating ought to make sure uh... if not that you can reach your in his own strength and and let me please qualify that when you could day-to-day thing and naturally europe completely on your own all these situations where there's no way to really not only know what to do but being on dialysis at our total away every other day by yourself use the pressure of yes but you have to make some kind of white if you don't make it hard on yourself that we did that work what i keep hearing comes up uh... if anything uh... from brother you know it's about being in your own strength and how paul opens with grace and peace be to you mostly all the time before he says anything that letter i want to make sure evening that i've i agree with no question but it seems like i'd be you'll be going in circles with that and i truly don't know group for lack of a better term what to do what to change what to repeat q boomers you're angry even the strength i'm not sure what you're asking though i don't know why did happens every time i call but what i'm trying to say here that i don't think that that's where i prayed before i called uh... it i do not care if it's very clear but but but what i think that's what you know but i'm think if they're scripture reference that you can kind of go just like if you're worried you can go to be anxious for nothing cast all your care that's a very clear one if you worry all the time but if you are in your own strength more than you ought to be or at all and yet you don't do that because you're eric and you think you know something you don't know why you're doing it or to what extent what's your what's your question it is so okay okay again i don't know how to ask it i'm sorry i'm sorry here at their uh... scripture that's why i gave the example of work i worry what a scripture for what but the picture for her i want to tell you i think that they don't do she doesn't look at him meditate upon if you are struggling with being more in your own strength at all rate up i'd he had to depend on god there more than yourself in a very practical way clearly i have no choice but but on a day-to-day basis like making this decision do i think that this person or do i think that the world or probably pick up you i am i come up you've been quite do i pay the bill or do i got dropped by i'm paying you know do i communicate this issue or do i leave it here do i uh... you know practical thing that you have to do you can't just sit there and not eat and sit there and not you know how do you make those decisions when there are compounding variables that don't make it as obvious thing like you know you're doubled over in pain so do you dress or do you fight through that and go take care of it or do you see what i'm saying i hope you do that really don't uh... my god don't know if you're doing in vain is to sort of anything not really not because you get through now but i don't know what what you're just just if you had to write down hope and said that's what would be your sentence was a question okay okay i've found benefit is their a richard record you look it meditates parking all back here you are struggling or possibly with operating not in the straight and grateful dot but in europe all straightened with the panic and i have to add not okay eric like i don't know what you're doing so verses about dependence on god and working in his strength yet yet that's what you're looking for scriptures that deal with the penance on god in a very active sense not like for your whole life's salvation i'm talking about day-to-day things that have to be done when you have no choice but to move through all that stuff naturally yourself no husband no friend no help i'm glad i'm making you laugh because i'm slowly bewildered i don't know why i'm laughing but uh... still because of a lot to stick out is likely short sweet if you're not there and i've enjoyed the difference that's all well i think that's it although if we got a break or it we'll be right back okay hold on they fall to a few lines if i could recall eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six we'll be right back it's matt slick live taking your calls at eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six here's matt slick alright everybody welcome back to the show we have three open lines if you want to give me a call eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six okay monique are you there yes yes alright so basically if i get this correct he wants some scriptures dealing with the idea of depending on god instead of yourself yes and at the risk and i want to throw you back into that but typically not like what did he say about it more so how to measure your own self as far as where you are in that like oh i don't know i don't know if i have verses that talk about how to measure yourself in relationship to your dependence on god okay that's something between yeah that that's why i'll even take the ones that just referred and maybe that's all i need is to remember which ones uh... well there are there are verses that talk about just depending on god like proverbs three five and six trust in the lord with all your heart and your own understanding and all your ways to submit to him and he'll make your paths straight it doesn't say how to do it it just says to do it and you know then there's james four six through eight you know he gives uh... grace uh... gives more grace therefore he resists the proud gives grace of the humble i particularly like verses uh... like philippians one six it says god is faithful and excuse me uh... i'm confident it's the very thing that he who began a good work and you will perfect it i do too and i like that verse it speaks to me uh... because god is working to perfect in spite of me and i like that oh there's my i received that i think i actually just bear witness then that actually and then also romans eight twenty eight uh... we know that god causes all things to work together for good to those who love god to those who are called according to his purpose now philippians one six and romans eight twenty eight speak to me this is my mind the way i am i need to know be reminded that god's at work god's doing things because i'm always at work and i'm always doing things and my pride and my stupidity and selfishness are always in there my independence and i'd like to know that god works even my sinful things for the ultimate good i can rest in those things they minister to me that god's perfect and that does and i mean i i don't know where i am and that of course but i laugh to think i'm proud about anything because like i said it really is impossible i've been called smart strong all that impossible so i understand this but practically i feel like i struggle with that obviously because i keep getting reminded you're in your own strength but it's terribly scary and frustrating because i'm not consciously saying yeah god anyway or whatever god not i don't know that's why at your you know it you are are falling in your strength as well as your weakness because you know you have the ability to think to move forward to go into do you can react quickly and think within things well how much of that is you and how much of a dependence on god you gotta figure those out i'll tell you it's a real struggle yeah i i i feel like i can't afford to be hearing on the side of people at the meet but i don't think that the what you just said that was actually working for them then i would have but i'm glad or witness with it so thank you so much for fighting through it i promise you i don't know how to have something more simple like i could have sworn that's what i've had to begin but by the way i thank you for for you know i i don't know how that happens but it doesn't matter got the answer remind your wife really and thank you so much and god bless you and let's pray that sticks i'm so tired of struggling everyday so thank you thank you it's alright buddy god bless alright feel free to call back alrighty alright thank you bye bye okay well i enjoyed that call actually alright let's get to roger from north carolina roger welcome you are on the air well i don't know how to follow that question so what do you got man what is keeping short and sweet okay uh... sanctification is that monergistic or synergistic synergistic okay that's what i would say yeah the holy spirit working in to you to kind of work through that okay right it's just a case of salvation or monergistic sanctification we are involved with it and we seek to be more sanctified and we actually take an effort at it so it's synergistic yes i think it was friday somebody called in about a question about johnny mac and him uh... saying about the mark of the beast yeah and i need that documentation to uh... you know to take a look i didn't find anything okay no i i i don't know i just i'm always just got eight eight you know eight hours in the fire and uh... so anyway alright i'll i'll send that to you but it's for my question and answer and somebody asked here's a you know a question that somebody asked what what if somebody believes when they took the mark of the beast would they be saved and johnny mac's answer was that uh... if they truly came to faith and they would be saved because the only unforgivable sin is the last name of the spirit but then he went on to say later that uh... he believes they're in a hardened state they don't think no one can come to face but that was a what if question it really wasn't i could see that it's a question that the bible doesn't get into what if you have a true believer and in ignorance takes that mark doesn't doesn't know was person saved i would still say yes and that's it situation it just depends on a level of awareness in in parts as part of the conversation so if you know you know it's the mark of the beast you believe it's the antichrist you take that mark you're in trouble or i would say that person saved but i could see that there could be christians who just don't know any better and they they do stuff is a lot of christians who don't know a lot of stuff that's true in the scriptures so i think in that situation is possible yeah and that's and that's what it was a what if question and i think he went on to say that he doesn't think that anybody takes the mark they're going to be in such a hardened state they're going to be you know they're going to have to be blinded that they're not going to believe you know you don't believe any will believe it's the same thing they do with like the blood thing where you know it and i met that you know the simple blood not going to save you the blood of christ when referring to if jesus has to die you just can't you know you just can't get cut and bleed he has to die for in your place and i think that you know it's right he's right it's not just the shed blood it's the shed blood of god who also took our sins upon him and that death in concert with all of it being who he is that's what made the atonement work yet it's not just a lot of people here it's people taking stuff out of context like that you know like that they're saying the blood like as you say by the blood but that doesn't mean you're saved by you know him being tortured it it's about christ dying in your place in your position that you have to die it's not just simple you know right and and i've said the same a similar thing years uh... years ago i've said stuff like this because i thought it through i understand what he's saying and people can take this out of context so let me kind of just get through it it's not just that shed blood of jesus as it in the sense that that it's independent of the imputation of our sin to him and it's also independent of him being god in flesh but it's almost a non sequitur because the blood of christ is due to the incarnation and also is due to impart uh... you know the imputation it's all of it that comes together and it's not wise to separate one aspect from the other so what he is simply saying is that uh... and i i agree with us it's the the whole is what makes the the atonement work and he bore our sin because while bearing our sin there is no atonement and that he bore our sin in his body on the cross first peter two twenty four that's what it means and so that is along with the fact that he's god in flesh john one one verse fourteen that that's part of it and that he died which wages in his death romance six twenty three is a sacrifice he was uh... sit five six seven talks about all of this is the atoning work if we take one thing only and talk about it then we have problems and so what he might be doing is saying look this is one aspect is what makes it on the then i understand what he's doing if people can take this uh... together context and understand unit and it is a problem uh... so and i would also say even the work of god of living the perfect life and being the perfect sacrifice uh... would you add that in the class apps you know what i'm glad you said because you are absolutely correct he uh... it for thirty twenty two he never send any demonstrated while being under the law relations for four perfection of his work so i would say all of this combines into the efficacy deficiency uh... super uh... and uh... sufficiency of that cross and it's going to sacrifice yet it's not too if we had just a man who never send that's not going to be a sufficient for the atoning sacrifice because there has to be an invitation of center also needs to be a a divine presence so that the sacrifices of divine value it's already all of this come together make sense yet but i think what yes i thank you for your your name and i have to go back you to make a blast alright interesting question very interesting theological question let's uh... get to logan from burlington north carolina welcome you're on the air by mario i'm doing all right hanging in there so we got money beautiful so i i'm in college right now but uh... my employer is talking about mandating the mac vaccine i'm just kind of wondering what i should do uh... because i've done my research i don't think i want to get it what i could recommend that you do is go to karm go to karm we're almost out of time go to karm and go to karm.org forward slash covid and look for up the religious exemption uh... article uh... one of the things that a lot of people don't know is that the development and testing of the vaccines not all of them are they use human aborted fetal tissue not all of them in their development but all of them in their testing and it's i don't want to benefit from the sacrifice of of human babies that's that's and i don't trust the vaccine i've had seen too many deleterious effects and heard too many stories and uh... it's a problem yep what i've been told by my employer is the christian thing to do is to be obedient and just to take it and not really to question it is your employer a theologian i'd be glad to talk to your employer as a theologian we actually have like a christ-centered business i can talk to them i'm not sure i can talk to them put them in contact with me we'll go through it definitely a big issue for me because i don't want to lose my job when i'm trying to go through college here's the thing just a big issue on my heart here's here's the thing what if you were to offer them you say look i don't trust the vaccine it violates ethics about uh... baby tissue and uh... what if you get tested and you have the antibodies that means you because the natural immunity is thirteen times better than vaccination if i can demonstrate that i have immunity isn't that good enough okay most that i would say most definitely because if he's going to be reasonable as a christian tell them we have you have this guy who would like to talk to them about it i'd be glad to talk to them about that the christian value in this there's also the issue of self-protection that's one of the reasons i additional reason i don't want to take it for self-protection self-defense i don't trust it personally they blindly trust everything they hear on the news you know without they can really any type of consideration that's just the issue and romans thirteen seven the government doesn't necessitate this in this issue because it violates other areas of scripture so go to karm forward slash covid take a look at stuff they also read the disclaimer that's there all right got to go all right let me know what happens all right hey folks we're out of time may the lord bless you by his grace look back on your tomorrow and have a great evening another program powered
