Thank you for your work. May Jesus Christ bless you.❤️✝️
God bless to your social media platform Ministry Dr. Lane Craig to.... May the Lord give u more strength.
I continually heard it like "the memes used by the Holy Spirit".
This was excellent btw. Very clarifying! Thank you.
The oc cult symbolism you used as profile pic, is telling. It appears as a person trapped in mysticism and gnosticism. Have you decided which God is true, or still undecided?
@@abashedsanctimony154 I thank you for your sincere concern. The only way to salvation goes through Jesus atonement. Of this I am certain and have not found anything in freemasonry to contradict this but rather strengthen my faith in the Lord. Swedish RIte is only open for cnfessing christians.
@@psylegio No such thing as Christian freemasonry. Freemasonry is at its core luciferian/satanic, and can only pretend not to be for the lower degrees. All 33rd degree masons are knowingly worshiping Lucifer, and this is a fact. So if you are a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ, why is it that you are still in freemasonry?? There can be many reasons why they would have a lodge or a rite only for Christians, and none of those reasons would mean in any way that freemasonry is OK for Christians to be involved in. You are being used at best and deceived and in risk of losing your salvation at worst. Most likely both. So please give this a very serious thought.
I appreciate your care for me even if I find that you are mistaken. I who have partaken in it have seen nothing that would suggest anything unchristian. It may be that the swedish rite is clearer on this than others. It consists of a body of christian men who strive to improve ourselves, and coming closer to our heavenly Father is naturally a part if that.
Again, my thanks for caring enough about a strangers soul to comment.
@@psylegio I can truly point you to what is different in freemasons' gnostic occult system. But I m quite sure you're not uneducated in that. Also the Old testament covenant doesn't differ in the New testament covenant. There is a false theology goin around that is called OSAS . It is not valid.
I'll let you know specifically , which I'll let you know so copy this before Craig deletes it, as I haven't let any one else know about. Because I think you are a low level mason, and treading water.
- Jesus taught against Pharisees (I m sure you are very familiar with what that is haters of Christ. He taught His law is easier and yet harder to fulfill. He taught of a falling away, He also taught there are those who betray His good nature, as a friend would. (Judas; a famous image among those going to hell are Judas worshippers, son of perdition)
Paul taught against false teachers , Blasphemy of the HolySpirit, and perservere into the end in the correct belief that was taught, which would be exactly what Christ taught. Many hold to this belief, (teaching heresy) knowing it is false , teach it anyway as a betrayal to Christ.
Jesus taught works of the spirit would begin with those who are truly saved, not simply believing in a watered down lukewarm betrayal.
James taught faith without works are dead, we will keep the Commandments if we whom love Him, are left remaining in Him. Not in Grace, but the original Correct doctrine of Faith.
Finally and this is the real hold of Eternal Security : John taught of a falling away by a rejection of what Christ taught known as a Deception powerful enough to deceive a lukewarm elect ? No powerful to deceive a true Christian that has no error in their doctrine. I could be deceived if I was to hold false religion like you do now.
Taking the Mark will be literal yet if any believes they will. It betray Christ in the future giving of the Mark they have already been deceived. The Mark will be the worst trial ever given to mankind. It will be worse than Peter's betrayal, and The Pharisees betrayal of crucifying Christ.
OSAS is false and your religion I'm sure teaches it. Copy this comment.
blessings in Christ alone
Excellent teaching Dr Craig!!
About Hebr. 6. I think in the illustation (vv. 7-8 ) we can see the case clear: they never produced good fruit, though they recieved the rain many times. That is: they only tasted God's power
from outside. (like the rain) but never produced God's life: they didn't have the Holy Spirit.
God bless you very much Dr. Craig.
Thank you, Dr. Craig. I was glad to hear that you are going to illustrate the Arminius side of this acronym lesson. Please do your audience (and me) a favour and also explain Dr. Martin Luther's take on T.U.L.I.P. Being a hardcore Lutheran, I've heard it explained from a Lutheran perspective and am curious to hear it from another. Wasn't it the Calvinist's who would raid Roman Catholic churches and destroy property in the name of the first commandment? It's difficult to remember as this has only come up a few times in my life. And we, when we studied this, put all three ideologies up on a board to get a good look at each to effectively compare. We may not agree in the end (Let all men be a liar and God be true. Romans 3:4) but it's good to review.
Finally a good camera
Hahah
Thank you Dr. Craig for your explanation... You explained it clearly and precisely, but I was waiting for you to give your own view about Salvation and what you agree and don't agree with Calvinism... In my point of view Calvinism is correct about those who are truly saved can never lose their Salvation... And I also agree that those who committed Apostasy and those who turned back from the faith were not truly Regenerated or Born Again Christians... But I cannot agree that the warnings against apostasy are for those who are truly Regenerated and Truly born again Christians otherwise there is no point for the Scriptures to call it Eternal life... 1 John 5:11 (KJV), ''And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.'' =>>> John 3:16 (KJV) ''For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'' John 17:3 (KJV) ''And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.''
Hebrews 10:26 is talking about the sin of unbelief. These are people that have heard the gospel and have the KNOWLEDGE of salvation (truth) but they reject the knowledge/gospel - it’s like they are standing before the veil of the tabernacle but they refuse to enter in - the verse goes on to say that there is NO OTHER WAY to have your sins washed other than to believe and trust on the Lord Jesus Christ (there is no more/other sacrifice for sins).
The passage is NOT talking about a saved believer. These people received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth but they did not receive the truth as they have not believed it in their heart.
Hebrews 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
We all sin deliberately and willingly every day. If we didn’t we wouldn’t have free will. The bible says that a foolish thought is a sin and a scorner is an abomination.
Proverbs 24:9 (KJV)
The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
1 John 1:8 (KJV)
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
No one forces us to lie, covet, scorn and have foolish thoughts ie SIN.
Gods grace increases and covers ALL of our sins.
1 John 3:6 (KJV)
Whosoever ABIDETH in him SINNETH NOT: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Solomon turned his HEART away from the Lord and built altars to other gods. Other OT characters like Saul murdered people and turned from God. Anyone seeking EVIDENCE of Solomon’s faith at that time would not have seen any evidence and would have labelled him unsaved. Solomon is the wisest man that ever lived and he is definitely in heaven, as is Saul.
Was Solomon saved when his HEART turned to other gods and when he built high places to them? Of course he was!
To argue that a saved believer cannot commit heinous sin is not supported by scripture. One has to misinterpret the text to form that false belief.
1 Kings 11:4-10
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives TURNED AWAY his HEART after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
Hebrews 6 were saved believers. We can’t be “renewed again unto repentance” because we can’t be saved twice (OSAS). It would put “Jesus to an open shame” because it would make him a liar. It would also mean that his blood isn’t powerful enough to cover our sins and includes apostasy!
Hebrews 6:4-6 (KJV)
4 For it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were ONCE ENLIGHTENED (knowledge of gospel), and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Matthew 24:4, No One was Saved yet in the Old Testament, Because Jesus Our Savior was not yet born and died to Redeem us from the bondage of sins... Though those people are the Elect of God, They are Not yet Saved in their time but were predestined to be Saved...
when you feel "outgrowing God" (losing your faith) you are just getting away from a childish faith and heading towards a grown-up`s faith in God. Atheism is not the final destination, it is just a stopover. The longer you stay there the more you are longing for the true destination.
The more ' academic ' you become in theology the worse your theology becomes . Craig is a good example here sadly ..Avoid .
Please, for the sake of not idly causing division, site examples.
Where did he fail to follow logically? Everything was logically consistent
