What about heaven? Do we have free will there? If so, why don’t we sin? Most importantly, why not create humans with such a nature?
Good viewpoint
8:38 What I think the quote actually says is, "believe, or receive eternal punishment,". there is no choice. No "free will" for the religious.
religion: nothing but a "carrot and stick" type of control mechanism. .
Second point I saw, she equates God's forknowledge with causation. Think thats a fundamental mistake in approaching the biblical text and the fall account. You all mentioned it very well, this is why he created humans with free will to choose God.
Great work gentleman, I keep hearing her say she dousnt understand, this dousnt make since. But this is an argument from ignorance fallacy. Just because one dousnt understand something dousnt mean that the thing they don't understand is not objectively true. Lack of understanding does not imply the lack of truth.
?? We generally think that Vatican was corrupt during reformation period. That's what Martin Luther said. A lie told a thousand times, in this case over 500 years, it tends to appear like Truth . If Vatican was corrupt at that time, CHURCH OF ENGLAND would have not been formed and there would have been no KJV !!! Fr Martin Luther, was denied permission to sell indulgences, by his Bishop for 3 consecutive years; probably because Bishop had doubts on Luther's financial integrity ( guess because Luther had fallen in love with a nun and might have been swindling money during courtship). Luther, a smart well read priest declared church to be corrupt and opposed sale of indulgences. To prove that he is biblically correct, he removed 7 books of OT by stating that *Masoretic Hebrew text* is to be adopted as OT. A brilliant Stratigic move. (These 7 books mentions about purgatory and praying for the dead. ) He wanted to prove that selling of indulgences is wrong as there is no purgatory and no use for praying for the dead. The modern day HEROD- King Henry VIII- wanted to marry another woman, then arch bishop didn't give him permission. Henry had the bishop arrested. He then asked Pope's permission. When Pope refused him permission, King Henry executed arch bishop , broke from catholic church and declared that he is the head of the church, thus the church of England was formed. King Henry, didn't imagine that his request to marry another woman would be turned down because, POPE had declared him as the CHAMPION OF THE CHURCH, was rich and was a king . If the church was corrupt as declared by Luther, Vatican would have surely given him permission. However, that was not the case, so it was a big Lie !!!! --------------++++++++++++++----------- Alexander the Great, establishes Greek rule in Palestine in 333 BC. In 250 BC, the chief librarian in Egypt requested the ruler Ptolemy to translate Hebrew Bible into Greek. Ptolemy didn't believe that Bible was inspired by God, so he ordered 72 scholars, to translate Hebrew to Greek, and had them at different places and ensured that they didn't communicate with each other. Ptolemy was surprised when all 72 scholars came up with same translation. That Greek translation is called the Septuagint Bible. The writers of NT generally quoted or paraphrased from this translation. The NT was also written in Greek ,as that was the official language ( similar to English language in present day india, even though all Britishers have all gone). The Septuagint had 46 books. When Jerusalem temple was destroyed, as predicted by Jesus , and all Jews were scattered all over the world, a few Rabbis met and wanted to prove that Jesus was not the Messiah. They changed a few verses and removed 7 books from the Hebrew Copies ( original Hebrew Bible was found missing) . They wanted to prove that Jesus is not the Messiah, as Septuagint was pointing to it. This new Hebrew text which they decided to make is called *Masoretic Hebrew text* started in 90 AD and said to be completed sometime between 800-900 AD. If you want to know what changes they have made to prove, Jesus is not Messiah, suggest see a RUclips WAS PYRAMID BUILD BEFORE THE FLOODS by Nathan
Which Jesus are you following? Within 10 years after Jesus Crucifixion we find many false teachers preaching. For St. Paul had warned the church in Corinthians . "For you gladly tolerate anyone who comes to you and preaches a different Jesus, not the one we preached; and you accept a spirit and a gospel completely different from the Spirit and the gospel you received from us!" *2 Corinthians 11:4* False teachers, were masters in creating confusion in the minds of innocent sheep. They used ancestry to create it. Si. Paul says "I want you to stay in Ephesus, just as I urged you when I was on my way to Macedonia. Some people there are teaching false doctrines, and you must order them to stop. Tell them to give up those legends and "*those long lists of ancestors*," which only produce arguments; they do not serve God's plan, which is known by faith." 1 Timothy 1:4 The false teachers were Jews well conversed in OT and they are the ones who created the Masoretic Hebrew text to prove that Jesus is not the Messiah ! The Septuagint Bible, from which Jesus quoted the OT verses pointed towards him as the Messiah. Thats the reason why the Jews created Masoretic Hebrew text, by making a few changes in the genealogy and deleting 7 books from the Septuagint Bible. Project started in 90 AD and *got completed in 10th Century*. The corrupt priest, Martin Luther, called Vatican corrupt and recommended deletion of 7 books and adopting the Masoretic Hebrew text as the OT !! If Vatican was corrupt during reformation period the CHURCH OF ENGLAND would not have been formed by King Henry VIII and his successor King James would not have come out with KJV Bible. As KJV Bible has incorporated Masoretic Hebrew text as OT, its the wrong Bible for any christian who follows Jesus Christ ; who died on the cross for us sinners. Matthew 27:17-26 says So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: *Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah* ?” For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him. So which Jesus do you follow ? If you read KJV, you follow Barrabas If you read a Catholic Bible / Bible which has the Septuagint Bible as OT ,you follow Christ !!! So which Jesus do you follow ?
Awesome discussion. Praise God Thank you!
The churches as a whole wants to avoid truth!!
There is a difference between believe that and believe in!!
It falls apart regarding truth. If all truth is relative then there is no objective right and wrong. People that are deconstructionists think there is no objective right and wrong until someone wrongs them. If right and wrong is only a personal opinion then evil or good doesn't really exist.
Great episode guys. I shared it with my mom.
I think it is a good idea to explain to our children objective truth vs. subjective truth and relativism. Giving them examples of all of them. I think that the explanation of these terms and let them use some critical thinking is such a good thing to do. For example, I have told Sylus this what you'll hear about slavery and this what is true and show him in real time by researching these things. When I went to public schools, I always heard evolution theory and science but never heard about creation. Public schools want to indoctrinate you into one way of thinking. When it came to slavery the history books told us about Protestants who upheld the ideas of slavery but was never told that ultimately it was the Bible and the scripture that abolished slavery. I don't shy away from telling him that there were pastor's who also were trying to use the scripture to keep their slaves. Truth is every place where the gospel in its truth was brought to those nations, and places thrived. It was the gospel that started science institutes, schools, hospitals, orphanages. Also, it isn't because God doesn't exist that society fails. It is the absence of God in a nation that society begins to crumble. It's because we've turned our backs on him, not the other way around. As far as deconstruction, those who are walking away, in my opinion, never had a true saving faith to begin with. They wanted God to glorify themselves, not him.
We need to have the talks to the kids, we also need to set appropriate guard rails regarding these issues. Sometimes just talking isn't enough.
Parents are not equipping themselves to teach there children regarding the issues of today. The Church is failing at equipping them also. But, it's the parents responsibility Ultimately.
Agreed, parents responsibility but the churches know that parents and kids will face these issues and yet still seem reluctant to meet them head on with direct, biblical strength and wisdom. We must remember he gives us a spirit of POWER, love and self-discipline. That power gives us boldness to stand against these schemes and attacks.
Our past choices shouldn't determine if we follow the Lord's teachings now, or on a plan to get there.
The beauty of the mercy of the Lord is we are able, with repentance, to run free of the burden of our past sin and shame because the Lord Jesus took that weight on His shoulders. This should enable us to learn from the past mistakes and chart new course that neither stray to the left or the right of the Lord's direction and truth.
The world thinks Love means acceptance of behavior. God doesn't love like that. God doesn't let us get away with our bad behavior. We also don't let our children get away with it. Being truthful and accountable is an aspect of God's love. World doesn't see it like that.
I have only read chapter 1. I'll come back after chapter 2
Many children can fall away for a season, but the foundation the parents have built will help the child to come back to the Lord.
Amen! Focused on the eternal not just the present. Everyone’s journey can look very different.
