MS Top 6 #44

This is the Truth Network. Monday through Friday, Matt takes calls from all around the world on his radio show.

We've compiled this week's best, Matt Slick's Top 6. Some of the Amish hold to that and just be from that alone, got to stay away. You know, I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know where it is. I suspect it's in heaven and there's a white throne judgment, which Christians go through that could be in heaven.

But heaven is the only place of God and the judgment seat where people are judged for damnation, I don't think would be in heaven. And you know what? I can't recall ever being asked that question. Now you got me curious, man. Good question.

Number four. Then why does the Bible say one man regards every day alike? Let each man be fully convinced of his own mind. I've had people answer this by saying, well, it just didn't include the Sabbath. But it says every day is the Sabbath included in every day.

And they won't answer the question because they're stuck. So that's why we worship on Sunday. So any day could be the Sabbath.

Any day could be the Sabbath. For a lot of pastors, Monday is our Sabbath because they work on Sunday. They preach, they teach. They often have meetings. They have Sunday school. They sometimes don't speak at night. And a lot of churches do. And so he preaches in the morning and in the evening. And then Mondays are his days off. And that's fun.

Number three. A pastor who's mostly knew the Greek was in the Salt Lake area. There was a little group of us who were Catholic Charismatics that attended his church. I left the church right after he was teaching that. It was OK to abort babies because they hadn't taken their first breath yet. And I forget what scriptures he was using to back that up. I don't know the Greeks well enough to refute that, but I know that's not right. If I was in the presence of a pastor who taught that, I would rebuke him for such foolishness. Simple logic can be used to refute these morons who teach this stuff. So a baby somehow is not human until it takes a breath. Well, wait a minute. So in the womb, it's not breathing.

But as soon as it takes a breath, now its nature has been changed from non-human to human by the act of taking a breath. Yeah. It's ludicrous. It's ludicrous foolishness.

Number two. I work at a rehabilitation facility and a lot of these gentlemen come out of the prison and they have this oneness belief system that they've just smothered themselves with and completely reject scripture. Do you have any suggestions or scripture that I can use to help a practice belief? If I'm talking to someone in that kind of a lifestyle belief system, what I always want to do is ask them to give me the definition of the religion, what it is.

And I say, I'm going to take notes. I want to know what they're talking about. And you ask them what it is that they believe. And then you ask, why do you believe it? What is your ultimate standard of truth? Is your ultimate standard of truth your preferences or is your ultimate standard of truth one of the many gods you follow? How do you know which God is the right one? If they're all essentially working together, how do you know that?

Where do you get the information? And I just ask these questions. And the reason I do this is because if they're not based in scripture, there are going to be problems. Number one. So if you were talking to an unbeliever that just says, how do you know the Bible is the word of God?

To an unbeliever, I'll say, well, no offense meant, but you lack a certain spiritual quality that we as Christians possess. And I say, you know, if you've got a boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever it is, you know, married or whatever. How do you know the voice of your friends, you know, your loved ones? By spending time with them, by hearing them. And you just know and you know a false voice. If a friend of yours that you've known for 20 years and someone imitates him, you'll know because you know the sound of your voice. Jesus says, my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.

It's John 10 27. And I'd say to people, the Christians know the voice of their Lord, just as you know the voice of your friends. And we know the voice. We recognize that in the scriptures. And that's how we know.
