R.C. Sproul: Before the Beginning: The Aseity of God
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2015
- Unlike creation, God is self-existent, uncaused, and independent. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul will examine the doctrine of God’s aseity, and explain why it is vital to a proper understanding of who God is as Creator and Redeemer.
This message is from our 2004 National Conference, A Portrait of God: • A Portrait of God: 200...

While listening to this amazing teaching, I was thinking about him being now in the very presence of that omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God enjoying His eternal being in the eternal Glory. We will meet again brother Sproul.
Not yet, he's not in heaven yet. He's still waiting in his grave for Christ come after which he will be with Christ reigning for a millennium in heaven. After which there will be judgment and then the righteous will live back here on earth for ever
@@judithmiguda1791 That's a topic I really want to study: the state of existence of those who've died in Christ. Two things cause me to think they may have some degree of consciousness. First is Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus where both were conscious. The second is the fact that Moses who died (God buried him on the mountain) appeared at Jesus' transfiguration. But Paul speaks of those who have "fallen asleep in the Lord". IDK, but it would be interesting to probe it some more.
@@judithmiguda1791Unbiblical. Take a class on biblical hermeneutics. R. C. is in the presence of God. So is every believer who died in Christ.
@@3IN1SDGHow about you read your bible and stop regurgitating that nonsense your youth pastor told you on Sunday...
1 Thessalonians 4:16
(Kjv)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
@@PandaCheeksYour ignorance and misplaced confidence in bilical acuity along with your failed attempt of correction is appalling but typical of the American "Christian." First off I don't believe in the concept of youth pastors since it's not biblical. Second, in regards to me reading my Bible I think I'm good there since I was a pastor for many years and teach biblical theology and apologetics. My advice to you is the same. Go take a class in biblical hermeneutics before you attempt to correct someone and shame yourself. Anyone can quote scripture out of context which is exactly what most uneducated Christians do.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY dividing the word of truth.
He deserves a Nobel Prize In Theology.
@Jeff Carlin yet you're in a theology video commenting clearly disturbed...
@Jeff Carlin around 500 BC Pitagora philosophied with the idea of the Earth being round.
7-800 BC Isaiah already said the Earth is Round.
930 BC Solomon already said that the Earth is round.
3000BC Job already said that the Earth is Round.
That's all in the Bible.
What you just said, is pure ignorance.
@Jeff Carlin that you are ignorant it's obvious but your arrogance is mesmerising. I guess that thousands of historians from thousands of years of history we're expecting your coming so that you can teach them what they see in order to write the absolute true that apparently you have! The wise one I might add....
Ask Josephus the Historian who was an eye witness! Ask every book of history you can get your hands on and read what it says not what you think. History doesn't care about your belief!
Jesus's life, death and resurrection was the most documented events in the whole history but I guess, that's true only for some billions of persons who actually read, not for you that posses the all knowledge.
Some people think they can think when they actually can't
@Jeff Carlin wow. You're blind (yet you can read...but not understand!)
The Bible allows humans to sell/buy/keep slaves? What book did you read sir?
Your president Abraham Lincoln abolished Slavery! The same that said: "I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book."
What do you know about Morality? Where did you get Moral Law from??
@Jeff Carlin he didn't eye witnessed t
Jesus but the begining of the Church and was one of the first big historians that lived in that age
I discovered him in 2020. I feel tears in my heart when I'm listening to him. I love him so much.
Phiohihihihoiphihhjjjuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh y

I did in 2019, don't miss Westminster larger Catechism and Institutes by John Calvin!
Moses ~ Me TOO! ln 2020 ...through John MacArthur ..in 2020 ..through AD Robles's channel. AND l am SO GLAD that JESUS _IS_ The KING of kings, and LORD of lords!!! :D
I feel exactly the same. He is just so easy to relate to, just an amazing man if God. Wish he were still here. Bless you.
been on pursuit of the real truth since I become Christian for the last 8years and I praise & glorify The Lord for answering my longing for truth🙏🏼 thank you RC for being the bearer♥️just so sad to learn you weren’t here anymore but you have left a legacy of clarity on God’s Word🙏🏼grateful to you with all my 💜
Sure do wish that RC was still with us...but I realize that...
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. --Philippians 1:21
What a gifted, superb instructor was RC. This man changed my life and my Christianity, and I will forever be grateful.
Changed mine too
You and thousands of others🙏 ❤❤
This man (Sproul) I have heard & read since the early 1970's, around the same time I came (1st of all across Albert N Martin, )...then, because of Martin.... Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones writings/sermons...James Boice and Iain Murray (of Edinburgh)...and I have for some decades had these men as my instructors and I thought way back, 45 years ago, up to now...that they, also the great Puritan preachers & theologians...are men of God who have taken the bible and so much of the great doctrines and serious things in scriptures and made it so incredibly easy for some of less mind and brain (as me.)
We must thank God for these men, pray such writings and words will go far and wide across the world to the church.
Amen brother! I more recently (last 5 years) RC Sproul and continue to seek out his sermons. Some of my favorites are when he is in the class room.
You got one thing right, you are of "less mind and brain." You have to be to believe in this trash.
Adrian S Your Referring to the Bible?
@@AS-er4ud If you're not less minded and brainless, then why do you resort to ad hominems instead of actually refuting the things told in the video - and without resorting to straw man arguments? Instead, you attempt to bait others who are admittedly not as studied or well-spoken into a discussion, hoping they are less capable because you can't cope on the same level as Dr. Sproul. Deal with the truths revealed in the video if they're such empty arguments.
@@workinprogress9613 You're a fvcking idiot. How is that for an ad hominem? Don't talk to me about truths when you believe in fairy tales and magic, you pseudo-intellectual dimwit.
I have heard this marvelous message before but it thrills each time. We were and are truly blessed by RC's ministry.
I've watched this lecture 4x and each time it becomes clearer and clearer. R.C. Sproul is so gifted in teaching and I am forever grateful. I use this lecture to help put together a lecture in my Attributes of God course that I teach to women.
Can you tell me more? A dear sister of mine is studying the subject and is trying to learn more, I'm sure she may be interested if your course is available to her
My mind cannot really contemplate GOD'S existence. Until I see my GOD and Father. I praise and thank HIM for choosing me.
THIS MAN IS A MASTER IN THE WORD
I wish I didn't have to sleep, I could listen to RC all night!
Listen while you sleep. Its good for you~!
Same sentiment here
Absolutely...I keep autoplay on RC's teaching and let it ride! I'm on my 6th teaching clip now and God willing tomorrow night will hear them again. I love God's Holiness and pray to continue to understand good solid doctrine.
I feel the same way
Puts me to sleep
This was breath taking.. I have never enjoyed such easy understandable truth in all my 32 years of life... If you cannot believe... or cannot understand .. understand by watching this..
BLACKSHEEPNEVERSLEEP No human can truly understand God’s aseity.
terminat1
That is so, so true, terminat1! But man, it is a huge, huge blessing that our LORD GOD, Jesus Christ, gives HIS Elect ears and hearts to ever be searching upward to understand HIS and our GOD and Father as HE understands HIM! HALLELUJAH!
Sadly, I`m just getting to listen to his sermons now. Excellent teaching!
AMEN! I miss our dear brother and teacher RC. For sure he is having a blast in heaven and knows way more now than he did here on earth...Thank you so much for all your dedication and faithfulness in ministry. See you again when we see you! Your voice will forever linger here on earth and will continually be used to bring souls to the Lord until He comes.
to GOD be all the Glory and Power for ever and ever Amen. The words from my mouth fall eternally short explaining my admiration belief and thanksgiving that I even have the opportunity to witness this glimpse of GOD and his Majesty! Thank You Jesus for Everything!
I feel the same.
I had to see/hear this again.It is early 2018 now and the church lost a great champion of biblical truth and exposition of it...R. C. dying Dec. 2017. What a great mind and solid and sound gospel preacher and theologian he was. Just as Martyn Lloyd-Jones, this man could take the deep things of God and get it across to many of us who never even had very deep or very sharp minds. May his works keep teaching many.
We didn't lose him. He went home! We'll be watching him jump fire hydrants eventually. lol Truthfully, I've heard of him for 20 years, but never listened to him until this winter. Now I'm catching up. So, we didn't lose him. He's one of those guys we can listen to again and again, because who can get all he said in just one time?
Thanks Spaulding...You are exactly right...we will see him one day. He is gone in his presence for a time...I never tired of R. C. I read him and listen to Ligonier always.
@@wally1452 No, you most certainly won't be seeing him again (other than on your screen). There is not one iota of proof that you will see anyone who has died. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. It's a nice, comforting thought, but it has no basis in reality. Common sense dictates that you should live your life as if it's the only one you have. Be good to those around you while they're still alive. Do you remember anyone or anything from before your birth? No, because you were dead. Then why would you think that when you're dead (again) you will somehow continue to live on; let alone live on, with people you once knew, in a magical place where the laws of nature don't apply? That kind ignorance only gives people an excuse to not cherish their lives (or those around them) to the fullest extent. It also robs certain individuals of developing the necessary skills to cope with grief in a healthy and realistic way; potentially creating additional pain and trauma should those individuals ever release themselves from the shackles of religion.
@@AS-er4ud Why does all this upset you Where does that come from? I am praying for you!
@@orgenoburt8988 It doesn't upset me. It makes me sad that there are so many willfully ignorant and gullible people out there. Praying doesn't do jack shit, but if you're convinced it does, then pray for a brain.
Oh R C how blessed we are to have the delight in your animated, passionate, brilliant teachings. Praise God for creating you and calling you into ministry!!
This has to be one of the best lectures on the everlasting God I will ever hear. There is nothing more tranquil than knowing that there's God, the God that all of existence is contingent on His eternal eternity because God is, and is always and forever is.
Then you would enjoy watching R. C. Sproul: Eternity. It's very similar, but enough differences that the two videos build upon each other.
The most brilliant and profound talk I've ever heard in my life. Awesome
"We owe Him, whatever participation in being we have." Amen, Glory to the Holy Father, Holy Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit.
He was very humble … Honouring always other people … He talked with all his mind and heart … He understood that God was his master …
God's aseity is utterly mind-blowing and humbling.
Did God create the attributes He has?
If given abstract objects exist necessarily in certain existences then wouldn't this force God into creating the abstract object.
@@alexjoneschannel It would seems to me that an Eternal God would also be a being with infinitely attributes. The bible says God's personhood is immutable - never changes. Therefore, it would stand to reason that those attributes were ALWAYS part of who he has ever been. Otherwise he could not lay claim perfection. Being mortal and finite presents us with the impossible task trying to comprehend the impossible.
@@sampleis The bible also condones murder, rape, incest, and slavery. It's full of contradictions, inaccuracies, and fallacies. And this is the book you look to for guidance and evidence of a God? Yikes.
Adrian S The Bible does not condone murder, rape, incest lol you should probably open the Bible and take a look for yourself. Leviticus 18:6-17 clearly says incest is not permitted. As for murder, um check the 10 commandments. And the supposed inaccuracies are due to verses taken out of context, if you look at scripture, you’ll come to understand the contradictions you think exist, do not actually but is because a low understanding of scripture.
Yes. Not enough words to describe Him. My soul bows in love, and admiration. 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
RC Sproul seems to often deal with the more difficult questions about doctrine: as one who feeds us meat most of the time, rather than milk...great man...
Watching this sermon for the 15th time. It’s new every time and just as thrilling!
Me Too. I went to a Bible College and never heard this aspect of God. I’m humbled that such an awesome God would chose to reveal himself to me in the person of Jesus Christ when he needs nothing. I am grateful.
I'm only 13 minutes in and already recognize the brilliance of this message.
I flat out loved RC, he was at heart a teacher, and a brilliant funny one at that, I learned more from him then any teacher I ever had.
this has been the most wonderful teaching I have ever heard and I didn't want it to end...creates such a spirit of praise and humbles me before a Holy & Awesome God...
Been Redeemed love your screen name! He is/was an amazing Pastor/Professor.
if you buy Sproul's theology you are spiritually sick!..there is no eternal hell fire read the book the fire that consumes by william edward fudge. what is eternal is the consequences of the fire which is annihilation
@@DavidKing-qd3sp space cadet
Someday, before my time of departure from this side of eternity, I pray to comprehend the reality of Godin my everyday life. I pray God open my eyes to see him as he is, as much as I can stand. How life would be different. To be at rest, filled with joy and his peace; to see others as he does and treat them with love, and to face persecution with dignity, is something to keep striving for. But It might be by the time I go eureka, I understand, I see, will be my day of departure into paradise to meet Him in person and be with him forever.
Thank you Holy Father for brother R.C. ...His faith is now sight ... From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God... Shalom and Maranatha !!
Love how his expression changes when he says “being”
He was really mesmerised by the eternal God
20:46 was so overwhelming my heart felt as if it swelled in my chest and my eyes felt like they would tear up. This teaching shifts perspective tremendously.
Wonderful to hear this great man's powerful thoughts and soothing voice through this medium as well as on radio. He can be difficult for many at times, due to his scholarly approach. At the same time he can be like a favorite uncle or grandfather, as shown through his children's books. Very encouraging in this world that is so full of evil and anxiety. Thank you Dr. Sproul and thank all who supported his ministry. And, of course, especially, THANK YOU JESUS!
I can’t wait to meet him
He's dead
@@andrewadesioye7646 A
Don't worry, when you meet his MASTER (Jesus Christ), that will be all you need.
Thank you Dr Sproul. All praise to the Most High God !
Josh Fayemi Amen my Brother!!
Hey man, that's discrimination. Praise be to the other 1000's of gods, too!
@@AS-er4ud See now, if you had actually watched the video, or at least paid attention if you did, then you would know how absurd and irrational your statement is, because you would have known that reason demands that there can be only one.
@@workinprogress9613 you believe in a magic sky daddy that you can't see, feel, touch, or verify. A god with zero proof. But sure, I'm the the one that's irrational. Lol
@@AS-er4ud yes, you're the one who's irrational and you'd know why if you had actually watched and or paid attention to the video. Instead, you make irrational comments out of ignorance, such as, "...you believe in a magic sky daddy that you can't see, feel, touch, or verify. A god with zero proof." Just because we cannot see, feel or touch something, does not mean it cannot be verified. And so it was - in the video! The proof was in the video. Shoulda watched it.
45 minutes go by so fast listening to the godly brilliant man. Love him!
Love you RC and can’t wait to meet you someday!
He passed away in 2017 😔
@@trumpsleftnipple9595in Heaven....

This is awesome teaching, thank God for blessing RC Sproul with such wisdom.
What a wonderful teacher he was!!!
January 2, 2018
I am so grateful and thankful that our LORD GOD, Jesus Christ, made sure that we(HIS Sanctified Body) will always have records of our big brother IN Christ R.C. Sproul's beautiful, truthful, sanctified teachings, just as HE gave us records of all HIS Holy Apostles' sanctified teachings! Our LORD GOD, The Almighty, is so absolutely Good and Loving toward we who are IN HIS Gracious Son, Jesus Christ! Blows my mind every single day thinking about HIS Magnificent Providence and Sovereignty and Holiness and Aseity! Thank you Ligonier! PRAISE OUR HOLY MERCIFUL GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, FOREVER, IN OUR LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST'S HOLY, GRACIOUS NAME! HALLELUJAH!
Every time RC is about to tell a story, I would begin smiling as if I'm in the anticipation of something humorous is about to come.
That was incredible praise the Lord! God is so worthy of all praise for in Him we move and have our being!
SUCH PREACHERS DO WE WANT ...GOD HELP RC SPROUL MORE AND MOREE
ALL GLORY AND PRAISE BE TO OUR AWESOME CREATOR GOD ALONE, NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN!
This is a magistral class. Never will be the same after you learn what RC tells here.
I am really enjoying these sermons by R.C. Sproul. It's like John MacArthur will preach to you all the basics of Christianity so that you know all the foundations of our faith, whereas R.C. will take you into Ph.D. territory and expound on them.
QPaq
You know nothing of GOD and BIBLE and THEOLOGY
If you have any idea, you won't dare to think to make a comparison between these two giants of Service for GOD CHRIST
You r just enjoying philosophical approach on a Biblical truth what RC does
Whereas John MacArthur' approved is absolutely solely Theological
You r more interested in listening and enjoying Greek philosophy and speculation rather BIBLE, the HOLYBGOD's HOLY SCRIPTURES what JMA only grounded and rooted in
@@shallowbubble931 yeah, i think you went a LOT farther than what Paul was trying to express. I agree that MacArthur and Sproul are (was) titans on the same level. I am grateful for both men's capability of bringing the deep truths of God to light in such a way that the more simple-minded can more readily understand them. But as Dr. Sproul once pointed out, how can we avoid vain philosophies if we don't first know what they look like? No, Dr. Sproul took the things of God and applied them in the area of philosophy to reveal that God is over all of life, and not only religion. The only way anything, anything at all, makes sense is if God IS. Similarly, we are to take the things of Scripture and apply them to all of life, social, economic, legal, aesthetic, medical, etc. etc. - because God is God over everything.
December 2023.
Watching him for the first time ever.
RMC does not preach as pastors do. He opens our minds to understanding. He is wonderful.
Brilliantly presented-as always. After listening to this you will now be able to do something quite unique, and that is to intelligently laugh at some absurd theories posited by astrophysicists such as Sagan, Hawkins, and even the great Susskind. No small feat.
Indeed...
He's actually a teacher. Not a preacher. Teachers don't preach. They explain. Preachers share the word with a fire and passion.
@@jordandavis3867
William Perkins promoted the plain preaching of the text. He was afraid that adding to the text by use of heightened tones and urgent expression and body language would be disrespectful to God and that if God is moving the heart of the listener then Gods word is sufficient. In the same way Jonathon Edwards style was the plain preaching of the text as he was terrified that if he stirred the congregation to emotion it might be just that: only emotion and not true God wrought change of heart.
What a teacher ! So learned. To God be the glory.
The Hebrew name for God YHWH comes from the Hebrew word "to be". We exist because God is.

Being GOD IS FROM PURE EVERLASTING
OMNISCIENT.💯
SELF EXISTENT CREATOR SAVIOR.
Absolutely OMNIPRESENT
A powerful verb: To be...
We exist because HE Created Us. HE has always been, but We were not.
This has to the best philosophical Theological sermon I ever heard...thankyou Brother
This man gave milk sermons and meat sermons both, but either way I always come away filled. I really believe he was gifted by the Holy Spirit in a way that only a small percentage a pastors are.
I got a bridge to sell you. PM me!
Your 👍👍
Well said dear R.C. You are Home 💕 but your teachings remain. I was listening to a debate years ago where the Creationist asked the Evolutionist how nothing could explode and make everything. The evy thought for a moment then said "Because the nothing was unstable."
I thought I was going to fall off my chair in hysterics. It was a priceless moment when God took the wisdom of man and turned it into absolute foolishness.
Haha,ha! Is he sure that the nothing was unstable? I think, he who thought such an illogical idea is the unstable one. Their godless fairy tale is just that a fairy tale, something coming out of nothing.
The Holy Spirit truly endowed RC with wisdom knowledge and understanding to teach in such a way that even a fool can’t error
A well presented revelation of truth by a wise man becoming ❤️🔥💯🙌
This never gets old. The truth of the Word of God.
I am thrilled to now have a better insight into that one phrase from Apostle Paul's discourse at the acropolis in Athens: "In Him we live and move and have our being." And I love Dr. Sproul's methods of presentation, which always appeal to both the heart and the intellect, while dispelling fallacious ideologies. I feel so behind, like I have to catch up, as the bulk of my self-education has been from great men of the past. Before 2016, I didn't even know who R.C. Sproul was, and I've studied theology for 30 years. I am so thankful he has left such an enormous amount of teaching behind for us. I have just recently (2015) gotten to present day great teaching Saints, and yet, as they cite the greats theologians of yesteryear whom they have studied, I sometimes hear a name or book that's new to me, and then it's back again to study those publications. So many books, so little time... My first 30 years was almost studying the bible only. I'm 59.
Sheldon Bass I didn't hear about him until after his passing; thankfully the universe(s) randomly created RUclips, so you and I can enjoy this man and his fervor.
Sheldon Bass. Try the author 's AW Pink ,Jonathan Edwards and John MacArthur
@@redshift6743 Should of named yourself Mr Psuedo-intellectual. Curious, who created your God? After all, it's the Christian position that all this couldn't of come from nothing. Oh my, I can taste the irony.
@@AS-er4ud he was being sarcastic towards those who think creation can be random. If such a thing like a web service needs creator, what about the vast unfathomable universe? I think that is what he was getting at
Thank you, yes, I've since and recently read AW Pink and had already read some of Jonathan Edwards, but my memory is poor so thanks for reminding me to study his work some more. I just now listened through this video again and read my past comment. Interesting to see what my becoming is becoming, lol. Blessings.@@DogSoldier1948
Excellent! In the beginning God. Amen
A giant, perhaps THE giant, of not only theological expository, but historical philosophy who can derive the eternal truths and teach it to those who would listen.
I discovered this genius only a few days ago. I should have circled the date red.
Amen and Amen! So thankful to God for giving us Bible teachers like R C Sproul, and the means by which to hear him, even after he’s gone home to the Lord.
There's no reason to believe "the Lord" exists. Your belief is asinine.
I'm so thankful for the ministry of this 👦. The preaching and teaching must have made his throat sore, and didn't help the emphysema..So i learn to take care of the body because we serve God in our body.
Amazing thing is he connected with the Supreme Being, a Being who we call Father, but I feel more comfortable to call Him "Daddy" by the way He treat me.
RC Sproul has this character of being a daddy for the audience.
Praise God
Praise Unicorn Man!
Dr R.C. Sproul was one of the most powerful teachers of all times. He was the real and faithful defender of the Word of God. I always thank our Beautiful God for giving us such teachers.
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD !!!!
This is, to my mind, the most convincing argument for God...the argument from contingency, essentially. Before I ever saw this sermon or knew much of academic philosophy, this was the issue that the Living God used to reach me. As I began researching, I found that others had already perceived the mystery and elucidated it beautifully. I wish more skeptics and atheists would give it a viewing. I'd be interested to see what the Aron Ra crowd or Dawkins crowd contrives in response.
Curious, which God are we talking here? Yours or one of the God's from the 1000's of other religions? After all, they can't all exist.
It's a very hard argument to understand, at first. It is based on such simplicity, many minds will step right over it and not see it. Once it begins to sink in, it truly is the best argument.
Still, very hard for many to grasp. If one is not inclined to believe in God already, this is not likely to persuade them but for one who is inclined to believe in God, this can be the clincher.
@@rubiks6 most argument can convince someone inclined to your views
@@dartog4967 - I'm not interested in convincing someone who is inclined to my views. If I did so, what have I accomplished? If I argue well, perhaps I can convince someone who is _not_ inclined to my views. Then I can say something difficult and valuable was accomplished.
I believe in Heaven and Hell. If by my words, another soul finds his/her way to Heaven, then something of eternal value has been gained. Only things having eternal value really have any value at all. Even Plato agrees. There is only one thing we take with us when we die - our soul. New bodies are provided. This body doesn't really matter. Homes have been built for us. Property here on this Earth is temporary and therefore worthless. All of our needs are met - water from the fountain of living water, food from the tree of life, friends, neighbors, safety.
My desire to reach souls is sincere. There is truly nothing of value on this Earth except men's souls.
@@rubiks6 i don't think you don't mean well, but that doesn't mean you do good.
How did the world just know that I needed some place to live, I love this guy and him being in heaven right now he knows it
He must have been a very good,sharp student,he teaches hards lessons not so easy sermons!!! God led me to him in 2017,I was questioning where God might come from,I was running mad,then boom I saw him on youtube!!!!
Gracias R.C eras brillante
Listened for the second time today and just wanted to say another thank you for your work. God bless
HEAVY MAN, HEAVY!!
This video is required for this weeks lesson in my apologetics course (Luther Rice College & Seminary) SCORE!
I adore his brilliance.
I am enjoying this ...
WHAT WAS, IS ALWAYS! LIFE ETERNAL!🌹🌞
God is Awesome!!! I am pretty sure you guys would agree!!
Magnificent word.
I was blessed and inspired by a previous message.
So simple, and yet so deep... after this, I recall the debate in Job.. thanks for posting this..it also will change my response to Mormonism.. good sermon/class
God is great and I am just a creature.
In Him I live.
Briliant Child of OUR LORD. THANK YOU JESUS, AMEN!!
Great teaching
When Jesus was asked about prayer he said to go to a private place to pray, not in some public place to make a show of your prayers. He further said that people that make a show out of prayer have already received their reward ( the admiration of others). Whenever I see these showboaters, so emotional just dripping with the spirit, or so they want you to believe, I think of Christ's message and what we should pray for, our daily bread, to see our own faults instead of the faults of others. Most of us don't need to pray for food but we do have the power to answer the prayers of those who are praying for food, for shelter, to be cured of alcoholism and drug addiction perhaps we should get out of the asking prayers and get into the business of answering them. Just a thought.
i loved his smile and sillness
That was fabulous!
GOD Bless you Mr. Sproul!
Phenomenal Teaching Content 🙌
Remember…that we are speaking of many things that most people can not or will not try to understand.😊
Outstanding.....
If Grateful and learning from RC, I recommend videos by his dear friend, John MacAurther.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost! As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.. Amen! Amen🎶🎵🎶
R C was a profound teacher. Very gifted by God. One thing we do not know; in the beginning when God spoke, what language did he use? Was it English? Hebrew? Aramaic? Or a divine tongue unknown?
Unknown.
Spoke means "DECLARED" or "DECREED"
I remember that show ❤
God said to Moses,’”I AM THAT I AM.”
@Jeff Carlin - That's your opinion. God says otherwise. I'll take His word over yours.
@Jeff Carlin - Absolutely! Do you know about the biblical view of the slavery relationship? Jesus referred to himself as a slave of God. All of the New Testament authors referred to themselves as slaves of Christ and many of the Old Testament authors referred to themselves as slaves of God. Learn the story of Onesimus, a slave of Philemon who ran away.
Just as the marriage relationship has been perverted and now we have men marrying men, so too, the master/slave relationship has been perverted by Man.
I am a slave of Jesus Christ. I have the best, most kind and loving Master there ever was. The thought that Jesus Christ owns me like property is absolutely awesome to me.
---------------------
So ... do you have an issue with this?
@Jeff Carlin - If you send an email to letters@gty.org and tell them you are not a Christian but someone recommended the book "Slave" to you and tell them you don't want to pay for it, they will send it to you for free. It will teach you the biblical perspective on slavery.
You can read the introduction to the book here: www.gty.org/store/books/451170S/slave-the-hidden-truth-about-your-identity-in-christ-study-guide-included
Look for the "Look Inside" link on the picture of the book.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Our current Postmodern Post-Christian world needs to be exposed to this sort of knowledge. The Laws God fixed into every mind are still there. They have very many questions and don't know why. Amazing Sproul.
Yes absolutely every experience of man is changing at a blink-of-an-eye God our Father doll way Jesus Christ God the Holy Spirit God is never ever changing! Jesus said the earth and the heavens will pass away but my words will never pass away!!!
