The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua! if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man. Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases. A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14 Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses. We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel. Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language. Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13 John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6 In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23. In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles. Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2 now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins. Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances. Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
@Isaiah israel sorry bro didn’t notice your reply from yesterday. In regards to Christ, he made salvation for his elect, which is the true Israel but not necessarily only Israelites. Those who aren’t from Israel are grafted into the true Israel. The great commission makes that clear. Why was Paul an apostle to the gentiles? Why did Jesus command his disciples to share the Gospel and to teach of God throughout the whole world.

He will go down in history as one of the greatest vessels God has everything used...like Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones. I can’t wait to meet him in our Home with the Lord.

I never meet RC in person, but he made a big impact on my life with his teaching. I never heard somebody with such profound knowledge and sophistication on the Scripture, I was born and raised in El Salvador and I had never been exposed to the Gospel in that way that he teaches the Bible. Especially in the doctrine of election. I introduced my sister to his teaching (in Spanish) and now she reads and hears everything that you guys have in Spanish. We don't have this kind of material (sound and profound) in Spanish, please Ligonier continue translating-transcribing all the material so can others be blessed. Thanks, R.C.!

I received my copy and can't wait to dig in. Sproul has been such an influence . Keep in mind when I first heard him on the radio some 25 years ago, I got mad about his assertion regarding predestination, because I had never heard reformed theology. I then went to Bible college and encountered even more reformed theology, and to my chagrin, more RC Sproul. Then I dated a girl whose grandmother was reformed through and through. That sweet elderly woman gave me a copy of the "New Geneva Study Bible". I read it with caution. Then as the years rolled on, I ended up marrying that same girl from college and find myself an elder in the PCA . God has a sense of humor, and if R.C. had any insight into my journey, I could hear him laughing at my journey in a good way. Thanks for posting this and thanks for your ministry.
Ahh the back and forth on Predestination when we are young in the faith, I know that feeling. When we finally, biblically realize who we are, all those inescapable realities come full circle. Praise God for His glorious plan of salvation!

My husband and I had the great privilege to worship at St. Andrews and meet RC. He was kind, genuine and completely present when greeting us. Our faith has been grown and strengthened tremendously by Ligonier Ministries.We are looking forward to reading this biography.
God got me early. I was three years old when a picture of a cross that my Mom drew was used to bring me to Him. I remember that day, that hot summer afternoon in Albermarle, NC. I joined The First Baptist Church in Brevard, NC when I was seven. All through high school I carried my Bible to class with my other books. I was a Christian, but steeped in Southern Baptist theology. I met R.C. Sproul at Virginia Commonwealth University when I was 18 years of age. He was 33 and I thought he was an old man. But God used R.C. to change my life. I ran to the fount of Reformed Theology like a deer thirsting for a brook of clean water. Men like Al LaCour, Len Andyshak, Scott Wesley Brown, Roger Anderson, and Dominic Aquila were all used by God in my college years. I thank Him for them all. But R.C. was unique. Chris Larson gets it right when he spoke at R.C's memorial. He asked, "Where were you when R.C.'s Bible teaching made an impact on your life? He said, "If you ever heard R.C. teach, or if you met him, he belonged to you, in a personal way. God used R.C." And R.C. does belong to us all. God has been very kind to us.
Love and respect R.C. I was raised in the Mormon cult, Saved out of that many years ago Through a new near death experience. And now Years later I'm having my faith renewed and informed By reformed theology. Sproul has Been a great Part In it
@@StevenAdams777 Thank you! It gives me joy to hear that He's been glorified thereby. And the theology in this I guess would be, that God glorifies Himself. And even through us...
@@Im_No_Expert_72 Over the years I've had some very good friends that are from several generational Mormon families,. I never speak of their religion/cult, but rather if & when the subject does come up, I would just speak of what the Bible teaches. One of them left the Mormon church and became a Christian. We are still good friends and we now live in the same town. Although we go to different churches, he has come around to embrace the Doctrines of Grace!

The Holiness of God had a huge impact on me... Once I understood just how Holy God is, then is when I saw how sinful I am and how despite all that God had the patience and the love for me. I'm always going to be grateful for having the opportunity to hear R.C. Sproul through youtube and I'm very thankful for Ligonier Ministries for all the content that has been available so easy. R.C. Sproul is by all means one of the best defenders of the faith and I can always watch his teachings. God bless, all glory to Jesus Christ, amen.

Sproul & Lingonier Ministries So Very Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
As an old man but 3 years young since saved by God’s beautiful grace I was lit on fire for God’s word. Having at first only RUclips for a church I ran across RC I believe truly I was led to RC and through Dr Sproul’s lectures filled with God’s words he taught me how to start to grasp the holiness of our Father. Forever grateful I will be to RC and his family who shared him with us all. God bless you all.
He was a breath of fresh air on a christian television in 2005. I started recording. Then I met RC for the first time. After went youtube Q&A with John MacArthur and others. Many questions were answered biblically. Glory be to God alone for his grace through this man. With great respect. T.S.
Four men helped me with my early time In Christ when there was no much nonsense being thrust upon me. Those men are Dr. James Montgomery Boice, Dr John MacArthur, Dr RC Sproul and a little later Dr Sinclair Ferguson. It moved me away from the nonsense of Arminianism, Dispensationalism and the Charasmatic movement. Bless God for all of these four men.

R.C Sproul was the reason I grew deeper and deeper into Reformed Theology. Dr. R.C Sproul, thank you for sermons and your words, you inspired me to hold fast to Reformed Teaching. When my father introduced me to his sermon on the "I am statements of Jesus" and more, I grew deeper to learn the world of Reformed Theology. May your words and sermons be with us until the Lord Jesus comes! :)

And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13 John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6 In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23. In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles. Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2 now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins. Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances. Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
I am a lifelong Baptist and was steeped in the errors of synergy for decades. Along the way it became apparent that something critical was amiss in my theological position. Once I grasped the truth of the Reformed theological doctrines it was such an enlightenment that gave peace to my uneasy soul. There are many brilliant and sincere voices that God has allowed us to learn from. The theologians that I enjoy are too many to list- and quite a few have departed to Glory, but R. C. Sproul is my favorite. I thank God for His patience and mercy, and for producing the great messengers that have blessed my soul so profoundly! It will be my pleasure to glean the works of the late Dr. R. C. Sproul- may he Rest In Peace.
I'm very thankful to God for R.C. Sproul, I love his books and videos, such a great teacher. Even though I never met him, I miss him, he had a great sense of humor which made him a joy to listen to and I enjoyed all the Q&A's he took part in. R.C.Sproul and John MacArthur are two of my favourite Bible teachers.
The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua! if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man. Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases. A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14 Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses. We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel. Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9...

I am so grateful for Dr. Sproul and his ministry. I have learned from many wonderful men and women throughout my Christian life, but Dr. Sproul has had, by far, the most impact on me and my theological understanding. I can’t wait to read Dr. Nichol’s biography of Dr. Sproul!
I have so much respect and love to RC Sproul , in my walk of knowing my Lord and Savior his sound doctrine helped me a lot! God’s mercy and grace displayed in RC’s faithfulness! All the glory and honor to our HOLY GOD!!! SOLI DEO GLORIA🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Beautiful video, remember his historical lives!!! Absolutely incredible and amazing teacher. I like to see his video’s. Thanks Ligonier Ministry, God blessed you.

Now THIS man is the kind of person, whom the Lord will have said to him when he arrived in His Kingdom "Well Done, though Good and Faithful Servant" If I only had 0.001% of RC Sproul's theological knowledge, I would be a Happy Man.
This video was wonderfully made. A perfect glimpse of RC's life. It's right what they said about it feeling like RC was teaching just to you. I always felt that way over the many years of listening to Renewing Your Mind. As if it was just RC and me in front of a fireplace. Theology leading to doxology as he said. Thank you RC for many years of explaining theology to the common man and thank you Ligonier for this video.
The impact of RC Sproul on my life, in the few years thay I have been saved, is immense. What a blessing from God he was, and continues to be, for all who love the word of God.

I am so grateful for what our holy and righteous God had done through R.C. and Ligonier Ministries . I am brought to an even higher level of praise and humility to think he is praising Christ perfectly surrounded be Gods infinite holiness
Well done tribute to a humble and holy man, who taught us to seek, nay to yearn for, a deeper understanding of the holiness of God. "Be holy, for I am holy."
Soli Deo Gloria! Thank you Dr. Nichols for the wonderful biography of R.C. Your G3 session was wonderful last year. R.C. is surely, greatly missed this side of Heaven.
I am currently reading Leviticus and yes God truly is Holy Holy Holy. R C, though gets me googling words as he speaks, is one of my favourite teachers. What a blessing he was and continues to be. To God be the glory for this ministry he founded. Lovely tribute. 🙏🏾

"... many people say that when they listen to R.C Sproul trach, they felt like he was directly teaching to them." Even I, who are not American (I was born and raised in Indonesia) and not having English as my native language can understand what he teach! Before, I saw that "theology" is some "high knowledge" that only priests can learn it while people like me, who never go to theology school just receive anything the church teach. Listening to him makes me interested even more to learn biblical theology! Along by looking at Luther's life, R.C's teaching makes me question what kind of "God" I worship until now. I long for a biblical sound theology, where I just ponder on God's beauty and holiness, let it change all of my being, instead of doing a habit of taking a bit of a bible verse then making "Here's 5 helpful tips you should do!" which leads to "self-help" theology... I also long to tackle questions or doubts I faced without other people or myself telling me to "Shrug it of! Have more faith! Just believe!"...
This Video made me shed some tears. Was it because of the spiritual boundary we have in the same faith, the mourning of a loss of a greater teacher and preacher, the personality RC had? Maybe a little bit from everything from all of that. RC have left this planet and is now in the presence of the three times holy god. I am glad he is there reached the finished line, crossed it and is waiting for the reward. We are here, and what would RC preach to us? Keep going, keep running, keep the faith and we will see us again in the presence of the three times holy God. RC’s focus was similar to Moses he was moved by the holiness of God. We should be too, not in threatening fear but in joyful fear. RC was able to preached it so easy, it may sound easy but his fear of God made him capable to preach how he preached, easy, understandable but unable for us to copy how he preached.
Dr. Sproul is one of a kind, thank you God for the blessing of his life and teaching. Thanks to Ligonier for this excellent video and all the wonderful content!

I am one of the people who could listen to R.C all day and not get bored and always stand amazed at God for his Holiness. Please if you have other materials where I can watch or listen to more RC. Sproul other than here on youtube or the Ligonier website, please let me know I don't know if I have already watched all of RC's sermon videos so I want to see more... please God willing!
I was attending a liberal seminary in 1976. I would listen to their false teaching during the day and listen to RC at night by borrowing cassette tapes from Ligonier. Praise God for those tapes.
Can you speak about his Teaching Career in the Bible department at Gordon College (Wenham, Massachusetts). After Amsterdam he taught in Wenham, Massachusetts and attended North Shore Conmunity Baptist Church and the Orthodox Presbyterian of Ipswich, Massachusetts.

If you can get sick then you definitely are a sinner and you are not a Christian since it is impossible to be both? So you are either a sinner or you are a Christian and I can certainly prove what I am relating in the scriptures below. First understand that I am a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ and I have overcome both sin and sickness in this life. That’s right, I am definitely stating that I cannot sin and that I can never get sick and you had better think twice before you try to disprove what I am about to relate since you may be condemning yourself in the process. If you somehow believe that you are a child of God but yet you possess sin and sickness in your life then try and prove it to me with scripture since I know that I can certainly prove that you are wrong and I can also prove that you do not know God at all. I can also prove that if you possess sin and sickness in your life then there is a very good chance that you are heading for an eternity in hell. So if you foolishly believe otherwise then once again try and prove it with scripture. I have had many foolish believers attacking me because I relate that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ who is sanctified in truth and that I have overcome sin and sickness in my life. Many of them just will not accept the truth that I can no longer sin nor can I ever get sick in this here life. I have related over and over how it is sin that allows the devil to destroy our lives with his sickness and disease and that if you possess sin then you certainly do not know God or scripture. Many believers will try to tell me that I am wrong and that what I relate is impossible because Jesus was the only sinless person. They mainly try to refute my wisdom simply because they are trying to justify the sin and the sickness that they possess in their own lives. So if you believe that I am wrong in my knowledge of God and scripture and you believe that you are correct then prove your misguided beliefs with scripture. Prove to me how you could possibly be a child of God and yet have sin and sickness in your life! Give me just one scripture verse that states that a believer will always sin or that a believer cannot stop sinning? Give me one scripture verse that states that a Christian will possess sickness in their lives or where scripture states that sickness is a normal part of this life? Give me just one scripture verse where God stated that a person who possesses sin and sickness in their life is His child? Guess what there are none and this is why believers have to twist scripture verses in order to justify why they have sin and sickness in their lives. I can certainly back up everything that I relate in scripture since I know that scripture relates how a child of God does not let sin reign in their body, he does not sin, they do not sin, he has died to sin, he has ceased from sin, and he cannot sin. All of these terms are used when describing a believer who is a child of Christ but yet most who claim to be a follower of Christ believe that they can never stop sinning and that they will always sin. So here are the scriptures that back up what I know and what I am relating. “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.” Romans 6:12 NKJV “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” I John 5:18 NKJV “Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” I Corinthians 15:34 NKJV “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” Romans 6:1-2 NKJV “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness- by whose stripes you were healed.” I Peter 2:24 NKJV “Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.” I Peter 4:1-2 NKJV “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” I John 3:9 NKJV So if you are foolish enough to try and convince me that you are a child of God who cannot stop sinning and who will always sin then kindly give me even just one scripture verse that backs up your misguided belief? I can certainly give you scripture that proves that if you sin then you are not a Christian since you belong to the devil and your sins will only lead to your death. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” I John 3:8 NKJV “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 NKJV I can also provide scripture that if you truly follow God then God will not allow the devil to touch you with sickness and disease since God will remove them from your life. “So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.” Exodus 23:25-26 NKJV “And said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.” Exodus 15:26 NKJV “And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” Deuteronomy 7:15 NKJV “But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” John 5:13-14 NKJV “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” I John 5:18 NKJV So prove to me how you are somehow a Christian who is a sinner and that you will always sin. Give me just one scripture verse that backs up your ridiculous belief since a Christian is someone who lives exactly as Christ did? Give me one scripture verse that justifies the sickness or the disability that you possess in your life since Jesus was never sick! Now do not try to use 1 John 1:8-1O or Romans 3:10, 3:23 and 7 to try and justify the sin in your life. In Romans 7 Paul is simply relating how he was a sinner until He became free of sin in knowing Christ and you certainly overlooked what Paul related in Romans 6. The other scriptures are simply relating that everyone is born in sin and ignorance and so they are not living righteously and they fall short of the glory of God. They are relating that this is why we need to repent and confess our sins to God so that He will then forgive us. They also relate that anyone who believes that they have never sinned is then calling God a liar. But nowhere are they ever stating that a believer will always sin as most are foolishly believing. So here is what most of you certainly do not understand. Yes, scripture relates that Jesus was born without sin and that He lived His entire life without sinning so Jesus certainly was the only sinless person. However scripture is definitely not relating that His followers will always sin or they will always have sickness in their lives. Scripture is actually stating the exact opposite of that utter nonsense and it is relating how the children of God will learn how to overcome their sin and their sicknesses. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. This meant for us to stop sinning entirely and to start living holy and righteously just as God commanded. We are all born in sin and we all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God but this does not mean that a believer can never stop sinning. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and this occurs at the moment that we repent of our sins and we accept Jesus and His Holy Spirit into our life. Once we receive His Holy Spirit we were then commanded to surrender our will to God so that we would allow the Spirit to sanctify our heart in God’s truth. Sanctification takes years and it requires our faith, patience, suffering and endurance since the Holy Spirit teaches us how to overcome our sins. Once we learn how to overcome our sins then we have now overcome our sicknesses since they come from sin and the devil. This is the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind through His sacrifice but yet most misguided believers do not understand this truth. Most fall for the devil’s lie that you could still be a Christian and also a sinner and that sickness is a normal part of this life. They prove that they are fools and they will perish in their sin and their ignorance.
Imagine being so incredibly arrogant, that you actually believe you exist everyday of your life without sin. That boggles the mind. Context is our friend and needs to be applied correctly when citing scripture. By your definition, you've reached a full state of sanctification so that you never sin. Are you saying it's no longer possible for you to sin? Or that you can't sin even if you tried? And again by your own definition, if you did happen to sin, you would no longer be a Christian. Curious what view you hold towards the assuredness of salvation. Apparently when Jesus said that those that enter by the narrow gate are few, he really meant just you and Him. Because every other person who has and who will walk this earth sins on a daily basis. If you can look inwards and honestly say that after you read the Sermon on the Mount, that you exist without sin, you are living a lie.
@@garrettnichols6642 you are simply a fool who knows nothing in regards to God and scripture and you are destined to perish in your ignorance of truth. You clearly have no idea that your spiritual eyes are blinded and you are believing in the gospel of the devil. Your own words are proving that you are an unbeliever who follows the devil’s lies and utter nonsense since you are simply twisting the meaning of scripture in order to justify the sin and the sicknesses that you possess in your life. When your blinded eyes read the gospel of your god Lucifer you believe that it relates that you will always have sin and sickness in your life. You believe that your god provides for your needs when you labor at some job for an income. You also believe that as you grow older that it is natural for you to become weaker and when you die it will be from some type of sickness or tragedy. You believe that once you die you will now be blessed for all eternity and you do not even realize that you are destined for an eternity of suffering and torment worst then anything that you ever experienced in this here lifetime. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV Your deceived and blinded eyes will not believe the true gospel of Jesus Christ where it relates that you can overcome your sin and your sicknesses so you will never need to see a doctor or take some type of pill. A gospel where you will certainly age but you will never lose your strength or become sick since you possess the Spirit of Christ who has overcome the world. A gospel that relates that you do not need to labor at some job since God will provide for all of your financial needs. A gospel that relates that no tragedy will cut your life short and you will live a long and healthy life. And finally a gospel that relates how you will have an expected end so that when you die you will simply stop breathing and you will then begin your new eternal life in your new incorruptible body. This is the big difference between a Christian and a deceived believer. A deceived believer still can sin and can still get sick but a Christian can never sin or can ever get sick since they live their life exactly “like Christ.” “Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.” Joshua 14:6-11 NKJV “So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.” Deuteronomy 34:5-7 NKJV “You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you. You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss. You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth. You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season. Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself.” Job 5:22-27 NKJV “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Psalms 91:5-16 NKJV “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 NKJV “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32 NKJV “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NKJV God commanded us to live holy and righteously which can only be achieved by overcoming sin and not being able to sin anymore. Because you lack knowledge of scripture you are foolishly allowing your god Lucifer to convince you that you will always sin and that you will always have sickness and that somehow you will still be a child of God who will have eternal life. That could not be any further from the truth since a child of God has overcome sin and sickness and they can no longer sin. So continue believing your nonsense and I can guarantee that the only eternal life that you will possess is with your god Lucifer in the second death where all of the liars and the unbelievers will then be thrown into the lake of fire. “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV “Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” I Peter 1:13-16 NKJV “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11 NKJV “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 NKJV
It blows my mind that a creature such as you would dare say that you are morally perfect in light of the simple fact that you are a creature! Anyone person who declare that they cannot sin is sinning (1 John 1). The audacity it takes for someone to compare themselves to Christ while they are still on earth!!!
@@wassup_-ku5ty you are simply a fool who belongs to the devil. Since you are writing to try and prove me wrong you certainly revealed to me how you are nothing more then an ignorant person who thinks that they know more about scripture then they actually do. Realize that I am a sanctified Christian who can no longer sin nor can ever get sick and if you truly were my brother or sister then you would have known that what I related was 100% correct since a child of God is someone who has overcome sin and sickness in their life. So your response is proving to me that you are not my brother or sister in Christ and that you are simply a misguided believer who fell for the devil’s lives and who possess sin and sickness in their life. You are just one of the many many misguided believers who do not understand scripture and so you try to twist what scripture is relating in order to justify the sin and the sickness that you possess in your life. You clearly do not understand that you cannot possibly be a child of God if you can still sin or if you can ever get sick since there is not one scripture verse where God ever related that a person who possesses sin or sickness in their life is His child! There is not one scripture verse where God ever instructed you to live in sin or where God ever stated that you will always sin either! Lastly, there is not one scripture verse where God ever stated that a Christian will have sickness in their life or where sickness is a normal part of a believer’s life? Search all you like but you will never find any such scriptures since they do not exist. So you foolishly chose to believe the gospel of your god Lucifer where it relates that you will always have sin and sickness in your life so you need doctors and their medicine. You will have to labor at a job for an income because you believe this is how God provides for your needs. So you believe that you must labor until you retire and then you will become weaker as you age and eventually grow old and die from some type of sickness or tragedy. You foolishly believe that you are saved but you have no idea that when you die that you will suffer for all eternity because of your unbelief of truth. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV Your blinded eyes would not believe the true gospel of Jesus Christ where it relates that you can overcome your sin and your sicknesses so you will never need a doctor or some pill. You do not need to labor at some job since God would provide for all of your financial needs. You will certainly age but you will never lose your strength or become sick since you possess the Spirit of Christ who has overcome the world. And when you die to this life you will simply stop breathing and you will then begin your new eternal life in your new incorruptible body. This is the difference between a Christian and a believer. A believer still can sin and can still get sick but a Christian cannot sin nor ever get sick since they live exactly “like Christ.” So your ignorant response proves to me that you could not comprehend or understand what I related in my comment and it proves to me that you are nothing more then a deceived believer who can still sin and who can still get sick. It also proves to me that you have just denied God’s word and truth and you clearly had no idea what the consequences are for doing so. Psalm 107:17. “Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.” Know what this means? First transgression, it means an act that goes against a rule, a law or a code of conduct. Next iniquity, it means a wicked act or thing, sin. Finally, affliction, it means something that causes persistent pain or suffering. Translated it is saying that you are a fool if you do not follow God’s laws and commands and you go and sin because you will then have pain, suffering and sickness. God commanded us live a holy and righteous life and He expected us to overcome both sin and sickness in this wicked world. I can definitely testify that this blessing is possible since I am someone who has been sanctified in truth and I can no longer sin nor do I ever get sick. So for anyone to say that we all sin or that we all get sick is simply a lie and that certainly makes them a fool in the eyes of God. I am a servant of God who was instructed to relate my testimony that a believer can overcome sin and sickness since this is the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind. But in you ignorance you allowed the devil to make you believe that you were wiser then you actually are and so you tried to prove a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ wrong with your misguided beliefs. You clearly have no idea that you are your own worst enemy since you condemned yourself by denying the truth that God had me relate. Now understand that I am not condemning your soul at all. I simply possess the wisdom to know when a deceived believer blasphemes the Spirit of truth and I know that they will never be forgiven for doing so. So I will not waste any of my time going back and forth with you since there is nothing that I could write that could help your unbelieving soul in the least. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17 NKJV “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.” Matthew 18:6-9 NKJV “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:31-37 NKJV
I’m assuming your definition of sin is “ going against the laws that God has spelled out for us in His Word”. Well did you not just break one of them? Romans 14:1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but do not quarrel over opinions. 1 Pet. 3:15 .... always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is within you; yet do it with gentleness and respect Ephesians 4:9 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. And the one that tears down your idolatrous view of yourself: GOOD SENSE MAKES ONE SLOW TO ANGER AND IT IS IN HIS GLORY TO OVERLOOK AN OFFENSE ( Prov. 19:11). You sir have not done any of those things. If you want anyone to come to the truth of Christ you don’t start by insulting them and their intellect- that is what drives them away! From how you commented back with insults to my personal character and intellect is what the Bible teaches us NOT to do if we want people to come to Christ ( though I understand there are times where we must be more affirmative, but even then we should watch our tongue). James 1:19-20 tells us to be slow to anger and slow to speak. I am not angry with you sir, I am genuinely concerned for you since you promote a false image of yourself as morally perfect, I am saddened, not angry. But you are angry. It is obvious from your insults, which stems from the fact that we have spoken against a false image of yourself. If you think that you are incapable of sin, reevaluate yourself in the light of those verses. Because from your logic, from how you continue to speak with insults, disrespect, and condescension which is AGAINST BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION then you are not saved. The whole of Scripture shows that man from birth to death is not perfect in any way. What of the Patriarchs and the Prophets they have went against God and have incurred His anger and wrath. Jesus said that Abraham looked toward His day and was glad- just as we look back in time to the Cross the OT figures looked forward, but even so the Bible gives us evidence that they too were not perfect and still were in sin though they saw Christ’s day. Unless you wanna deny that all the OT prophets, (some of) the Kings, and the patriarchs are in hell, you gotta give up this satanic theology that man is perfect in any sense while on earth. Again, I am not angry, but grieved and saddened. I pray that you will see how the Bible truly displays the nature of man, both outside and inside the confine of salvation and then come to a saving relationship with God. As J. Calvin in book one of his institutes, an adequate understanding of man comes from an adequate understanding of the Divine and His character. Sir I believe that this theology comes a false understanding of where the line between creature and Creator are and from a bad understanding of His supreme holiness and moral perfection. I pray that you will come to a true saving knowledge. Much love and RESPECT! God bless!

The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua!
if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man.
Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases.
A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14
Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses.
We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel.
Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language.
Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13
John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6
In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23.
In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles.
Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2
now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins.
Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances.
Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person
Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
R.C. Sproul has had an incredible impact on my life as a Christian. For Gods glory & our joy!
@Isaiah israel you say that because?
@Isaiah israel if you knew RC sproul you would know that he believes Christ died for His people. Not for the whole world, but for the elect.
@Isaiah israel 1 John 2:2
@Isaiah israel sorry bro didn’t notice your reply from yesterday.
In regards to Christ, he made salvation for his elect, which is the true Israel but not necessarily only Israelites. Those who aren’t from Israel are grafted into the true Israel.
The great commission makes that clear.
Why was Paul an apostle to the gentiles?
Why did Jesus command his disciples to share the Gospel and to teach of God throughout the whole world.

In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles.
Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2
now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins.
Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances.
Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person
Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
I never meet RC in person, but he made a big impact on my life with his teaching. I never heard somebody with such profound knowledge and sophistication on the Scripture, I was born and raised in El Salvador and I had never been exposed to the Gospel in that way that he teaches the Bible. Especially in the doctrine of election. I introduced my sister to his teaching (in Spanish) and now she reads and hears everything that you guys have in Spanish. We don't have this kind of material (sound and profound) in Spanish, please Ligonier continue translating-transcribing all the material so can others be blessed. Thanks, R.C.!
The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua!
if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man.
Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases.
A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14
Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses.
We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel.
Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language.
Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13

I love and miss my brother and teacher, though he is still with us through his works.
I received my copy and can't wait to dig in. Sproul has been such an influence . Keep in mind when I first heard him on the radio some 25 years ago, I got mad about his assertion regarding predestination, because I had never heard reformed theology. I then went to Bible college and encountered even more reformed theology, and to my chagrin, more RC Sproul. Then I dated a girl whose grandmother was reformed through and through. That sweet elderly woman gave me a copy of the "New Geneva Study Bible". I read it with caution. Then as the years rolled on, I ended up marrying that same girl from college and find myself an elder in the PCA . God has a sense of humor, and if R.C. had any insight into my journey, I could hear him laughing at my journey in a good way. Thanks for posting this and thanks for your ministry.
Ahh the back and forth on Predestination when we are young in the faith, I know that feeling. When we finally, biblically realize who we are, all those inescapable realities come full circle. Praise God for His glorious plan of salvation!

@@kenim I can attest to that. Praise God (Christ) 😊❤
Thanks for sharing this beautiful, biblical journey of the late Dr. R.C. Sproul. 😊❤

My husband and I had the great privilege to worship at St. Andrews and meet RC. He was kind, genuine and completely present when greeting us. Our faith has been grown and strengthened tremendously by Ligonier Ministries.We are looking forward to reading this biography.
God got me early. I was three years old when a picture of a cross that my Mom drew was used to bring me to Him. I remember that day, that hot summer afternoon in Albermarle, NC. I joined The First Baptist Church in Brevard, NC when I was seven. All through high school I carried my Bible to class with my other books. I was a Christian, but steeped in Southern Baptist theology. I met R.C. Sproul at Virginia Commonwealth University when I was 18 years of age. He was 33 and I thought he was an old man. But God used R.C. to change my life. I ran to the fount of Reformed Theology like a deer thirsting for a brook of clean water. Men like Al LaCour, Len Andyshak, Scott Wesley Brown, Roger Anderson, and Dominic Aquila were all used by God in my college years. I thank Him for them all. But R.C. was unique.
Chris Larson gets it right when he spoke at R.C's memorial. He asked, "Where were you when R.C.'s Bible teaching made an impact on your life? He said, "If you ever heard R.C. teach, or if you met him, he belonged to you, in a personal way. God used R.C." And R.C. does belong to us all. God has been very kind to us.
I'm so grateful for R.C., for Ligonier, and for the rest of you. Thank you, Stephen.
A legend of a teacher.
Praise and glory to God. God Bless. Jesus Christ, is the name of God. He lives. Praise and Bless God's holy name.
Love and respect R.C. I was raised in the Mormon cult, Saved out of that many years ago Through a new near death experience. And now Years later I'm having my faith renewed and informed By reformed theology. Sproul has Been a great Part In it
Praise God! Love to hear testimony like yours. For His glory & our joy!
@@StevenAdams777 Thank you! It gives me joy to hear that He's been glorified thereby. And the theology in this I guess would be, that God glorifies Himself. And even through us...
@@Im_No_Expert_72 Over the years I've had some very good friends that are from several generational Mormon families,. I never speak of their religion/cult, but rather if & when the subject does come up, I would just speak of what the Bible teaches. One of them left the Mormon church and became a Christian. We are still good friends and we now live in the same town. Although we go to different churches, he has come around to embrace the Doctrines of Grace!
@Isaiah israel lol 😂 you're a genius. Where could I possibly find a clue can you direct me?

What a beautiful life!
The Holiness of God had a huge impact on me... Once I understood just how Holy God is, then is when I saw how sinful I am and how despite all that God had the patience and the love for me. I'm always going to be grateful for having the opportunity to hear R.C. Sproul through youtube and I'm very thankful for Ligonier Ministries for all the content that has been available so easy. R.C. Sproul is by all means one of the best defenders of the faith and I can always watch his teachings. God bless, all glory to Jesus Christ, amen.
Thanks R. C. Sproul *4 Blessing Me With Yur Powerful, Blessful, Deep Teachings on Our Great Almighty God 4 Our Great Almighty God Used Yu R. C. Sproul 2 Be His Vessel & Vessel of Honour 4 His Word As Written In 2nd Timothy 2:21 4 Yu R. C. Sproul are Missed Greatly* & May Our Great Almighty God Bless Yu R. C. Sproul & Lingonier Ministries So Very Much.🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
God Bless R.C. Sproul! Love him, miss him......
I thank God for r c sproul.
As an old man but 3 years young since saved by God’s beautiful grace I was lit on fire for God’s word. Having at first only RUclips for a church I ran across RC I believe truly I was led to RC and through Dr Sproul’s lectures filled with God’s words he taught me how to start to grasp the holiness of our Father. Forever grateful I will be to RC and his family who shared him with us all. God bless you all.
@Isaiah israel I am pray for you.
Awesome!!!!...Praise God for men like R.C Sprouls......
He was a breath of fresh air on a christian television in 2005. I started recording. Then I met RC for the first time. After went youtube Q&A with John MacArthur and others. Many questions were answered biblically. Glory be to God alone for his grace through this man.
With great respect.
T.S.
Four men helped me with my early time In Christ when there was no much nonsense being thrust upon me. Those men are Dr. James Montgomery Boice, Dr John MacArthur, Dr RC Sproul and a little later Dr Sinclair Ferguson. It moved me away from the nonsense of Arminianism, Dispensationalism and the Charasmatic movement. Bless God for all of these four men.
O that the Lord may give the world a mighty sight and awe of his holiness!

Wow. Well done. That was beautiful in its own way.
Praise the Lord! Holy, Holy, Holy is our God!
R.C Sproul was the reason I grew deeper and deeper into Reformed Theology. Dr. R.C Sproul, thank you for sermons and your words, you inspired me to hold fast to Reformed Teaching. When my father introduced me to his sermon on the "I am statements of Jesus" and more, I grew deeper to learn the world of Reformed Theology.
May your words and sermons be with us until the Lord Jesus comes! :)

I am a lifelong Baptist and was steeped in the errors of synergy for decades. Along the way it became apparent that something critical was amiss in my theological position. Once I grasped the truth of the Reformed theological doctrines it was such an enlightenment that gave peace to my uneasy soul. There are many brilliant and sincere voices that God has allowed us to learn from. The theologians that I enjoy are too many to list- and quite a few have departed to Glory, but R. C. Sproul is my favorite. I thank God for His patience and mercy, and for producing the great messengers that have blessed my soul so profoundly! It will be my pleasure to glean the works of the late Dr. R. C. Sproul- may he Rest In Peace.
I am now 46 years old, but when I was teenager I learned so much watching VCR tapes from Sproul and reading his books!!! Love this man!!!
I'm very thankful to God for R.C. Sproul, I love his books and videos, such a great teacher. Even though I never met him, I miss him, he had a great sense of humor which made him a joy to listen to and I enjoyed all the Q&A's he took part in. R.C.Sproul and John MacArthur are two of my favourite Bible teachers.

I am so grateful for Dr. Sproul and his ministry. I have learned from many wonderful men and women throughout my Christian life, but Dr. Sproul has had, by far, the most impact on me and my theological understanding. I can’t wait to read Dr. Nichol’s biography of Dr. Sproul!
What I blessing message and a server life.
I have so much respect and love to RC Sproul , in my walk of knowing my Lord and Savior his sound doctrine helped me a lot! God’s mercy and grace displayed in RC’s faithfulness! All the glory and honor to our HOLY GOD!!! SOLI DEO GLORIA🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Thanks brothers.

A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14
Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses.
We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel.
Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language.
Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13
John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6
In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23.
In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles.
Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2
now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins.
Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances.
Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person
Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
Now THIS man is the kind of person, whom the Lord will have said to him when he arrived in His Kingdom "Well Done, though Good and Faithful Servant" If I only had 0.001% of RC Sproul's theological knowledge, I would be a Happy Man.
One of my heroes of the faith
He was a great teacher of God's holy word.
You will be missed.
This video was wonderfully made. A perfect glimpse of RC's life. It's right what they said about it feeling like RC was teaching just to you. I always felt that way over the many years of listening to Renewing Your Mind. As if it was just RC and me in front of a fireplace. Theology leading to doxology as he said. Thank you RC for many years of explaining theology to the common man and thank you Ligonier for this video.
Thank you. That was outstanding. I can't wait to meet RC beyond the gate...
The impact of RC Sproul on my life, in the few years thay I have been saved, is immense. What a blessing from God he was, and continues to be, for all who love the word of God.

I am so grateful for what our holy and righteous God had done through R.C. and Ligonier Ministries . I am brought to an even higher level of praise and humility to think he is praising Christ perfectly surrounded be Gods infinite holiness
Can’t wait to read that NEW BOOK‼️😃👍🏼
Well done tribute to a humble and holy man, who taught us to seek, nay to yearn for, a deeper understanding of the holiness of God. "Be holy, for I am holy."
O Lord, thank You.
Soli Deo Gloria! Thank you Dr. Nichols for the wonderful biography of R.C. Your G3 session was wonderful last year. R.C. is surely, greatly missed this side of Heaven.
What a heart warming video. Beautiful and moving cinematography. A beautiful Hebrews 13:7 testimony of a Godly servant. Just beautiful. SDG.
Oh,what amaizing to hear that.
Amazing guys! May we walk in the footsteps of Jesus as our brother Sproul has. The Lord is holy above all. God bless you all.
I am currently reading Leviticus and yes God truly is Holy Holy Holy. R C, though gets me googling words as he speaks, is one of my favourite teachers. What a blessing he was and continues to be. To God be the glory for this ministry he founded. Lovely tribute. 🙏🏾
What a great man he was. All at the same time giving God the glory.
What a great God we have to give us such faithful teachers.
A genuine man, with a genuine Love and wonder for the God of the universe, our creator. Rest in Eternity R.C. Sproul !

"... many people say that when they listen to R.C Sproul trach, they felt like he was directly teaching to them."
Even I, who are not American (I was born and raised in Indonesia) and not having English as my native language can understand what he teach! Before, I saw that "theology" is some "high knowledge" that only priests can learn it while people like me, who never go to theology school just receive anything the church teach. Listening to him makes me interested even more to learn biblical theology! Along by looking at Luther's life, R.C's teaching makes me question what kind of "God" I worship until now.
I long for a biblical sound theology, where I just ponder on God's beauty and holiness, let it change all of my being, instead of doing a habit of taking a bit of a bible verse then making "Here's 5 helpful tips you should do!" which leads to "self-help" theology...
I also long to tackle questions or doubts I faced without other people or myself telling me to "Shrug it of! Have more faith! Just believe!"...
I loved listening to his book, The Holiness of God. I want to hear it again!
My favorite theologian and fellow western Pennsylvanian. Attending his national conferences is my annual mountaintop experience!
HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD OUR GOD ALMIGHTY 🙌🏼
This Video made me shed some tears. Was it because of the spiritual boundary we have in the same faith, the mourning of a loss of a greater teacher and preacher, the personality RC had? Maybe a little bit from everything from all of that. RC have left this planet and is now in the presence of the three times holy god. I am glad he is there reached the finished line, crossed it and is waiting for the reward. We are here, and what would RC preach to us? Keep going, keep running, keep the faith and we will see us again in the presence of the three times holy God. RC’s focus was similar to Moses he was moved by the holiness of God. We should be too, not in threatening fear but in joyful fear. RC was able to preached it so easy, it may sound easy but his fear of God made him capable to preach how he preached, easy, understandable but unable for us to copy how he preached.
Dr. Sproul is one of a kind, thank you God for the blessing of his life and teaching. Thanks to Ligonier for this excellent video and all the wonderful content!

Love RC❤
Excellent. Been looking forward to this book since Nichols’ breakout session on Sproul at G3 2020.
I am one of the people who could listen to R.C all day and not get bored and always stand amazed at God for his Holiness. Please if you have other materials where I can watch or listen to more RC. Sproul other than here on youtube or the Ligonier website, please let me know I don't know if I have already watched all of RC's sermon videos so I want to see more... please God willing!
WHAT LEADER THEY DONT MAKE LEADER LIKE DR SPROUL MISS HIM.IAM ALWAYS LISTENING TO HIS SERMONS.
To forgive... genuinely, especially when the person is not repentant and sorry, is only possible with the intervention of the HOLY SPIRIT . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏💪
thank you for this :(
I miss him.
Amazing
Great video!
I was attending a liberal seminary in 1976. I would listen to their false teaching during the day and listen to RC at night by borrowing cassette tapes from Ligonier. Praise God for those tapes.
Amen and amen
If not for RC Sproul, I would not be able to grasp or even understand the unfathomable Holiness of God.
RC was a good bro...
He never met me but he was my daddy.
Amen❤🙏
I never heard a greater expository of the word
Can you speak about his Teaching Career in the Bible department at Gordon College (Wenham, Massachusetts). After Amsterdam he taught in Wenham, Massachusetts and attended North Shore Conmunity Baptist Church and the Orthodox Presbyterian of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Before Steve Job popularized the turtleneck shirt... there was R.C.
Does anyone know what is this music track called?
That 70's look of RC.... Hmmmmmm
Where can I get these video tapes from the 11:27?
Where did he pastor in Cincinnati?
70s RC looks like Peter Bogdanovich
The background muzak is a nuisance.
Yeah, he was just a man who was used by God, just a vessel, nothing more, nothing less.
I hope that you don’t go down the route of having mindless and annoying muzak in your videos. The words are worth hearing.

Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen!
If you can get sick then you definitely are a sinner and you are not a Christian since it is impossible to be both? So you are either a sinner or you are a Christian and I can certainly prove what I am relating in the scriptures below.
First understand that I am a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ and I have overcome both sin and sickness in this life. That’s right, I am definitely stating that I cannot sin and that I can never get sick and you had better think twice before you try to disprove what I am about to relate since you may be condemning yourself in the process.
If you somehow believe that you are a child of God but yet you possess sin and sickness in your life then try and prove it to me with scripture since I know that I can certainly prove that you are wrong and I can also prove that you do not know God at all. I can also prove that if you possess sin and sickness in your life then there is a very good chance that you are heading for an eternity in hell. So if you foolishly believe otherwise then once again try and prove it with scripture.
I have had many foolish believers attacking me because I relate that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ who is sanctified in truth and that I have overcome sin and sickness in my life. Many of them just will not accept the truth that I can no longer sin nor can I ever get sick in this here life. I have related over and over how it is sin that allows the devil to destroy our lives with his sickness and disease and that if you possess sin then you certainly do not know God or scripture.
Many believers will try to tell me that I am wrong and that what I relate is impossible because Jesus was the only sinless person. They mainly try to refute my wisdom simply because they are trying to justify the sin and the sickness that they possess in their own lives. So if you believe that I am wrong in my knowledge of God and scripture and you believe that you are correct then prove your misguided beliefs with scripture. Prove to me how you could possibly be a child of God and yet have sin and sickness in your life! Give me just one scripture verse that states that a believer will always sin or that a believer cannot stop sinning? Give me one scripture verse that states that a Christian will possess sickness in their lives or where scripture states that sickness is a normal part of this life? Give me just one scripture verse where God stated that a person who possesses sin and sickness in their life is His child? Guess what there are none and this is why believers have to twist scripture verses in order to justify why they have sin and sickness in their lives.
I can certainly back up everything that I relate in scripture since I know that scripture relates how a child of God does not let sin reign in their body, he does not sin, they do not sin, he has died to sin, he has ceased from sin, and he cannot sin. All of these terms are used when describing a believer who is a child of Christ but yet most who claim to be a follower of Christ believe that they can never stop sinning and that they will always sin. So here are the scriptures that back up what I know and what I am relating.
“Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.”
Romans 6:12 NKJV
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
“Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.”
I Corinthians 15:34 NKJV
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”
Romans 6:1-2 NKJV
“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness- by whose stripes you were healed.”
I Peter 2:24 NKJV
“Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
I Peter 4:1-2 NKJV
“Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
I John 3:9 NKJV
So if you are foolish enough to try and convince me that you are a child of God who cannot stop sinning and who will always sin then kindly give me even just one scripture verse that backs up your misguided belief? I can certainly give you scripture that proves that if you sin then you are not a Christian since you belong to the devil and your sins will only lead to your death.
“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
I John 3:8 NKJV
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 NKJV
I can also provide scripture that if you truly follow God then God will not allow the devil to touch you with sickness and disease since God will remove them from your life.
“So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.”
Exodus 23:25-26 NKJV
“And said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26 NKJV
“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.”
Deuteronomy 7:15 NKJV
“But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
John 5:13-14 NKJV
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
So prove to me how you are somehow a Christian who is a sinner and that you will always sin. Give me just one scripture verse that backs up your ridiculous belief since a Christian is someone who lives exactly as Christ did? Give me one scripture verse that justifies the sickness or the disability that you possess in your life since Jesus was never sick!
Now do not try to use 1 John 1:8-1O or Romans 3:10, 3:23 and 7 to try and justify the sin in your life. In Romans 7 Paul is simply relating how he was a sinner until He became free of sin in knowing Christ and you certainly overlooked what Paul related in Romans 6. The other scriptures are simply relating that everyone is born in sin and ignorance and so they are not living righteously and they fall short of the glory of God. They are relating that this is why we need to repent and confess our sins to God so that He will then forgive us. They also relate that anyone who believes that they have never sinned is then calling God a liar. But nowhere are they ever stating that a believer will always sin as most are foolishly believing.
So here is what most of you certainly do not understand. Yes, scripture relates that Jesus was born without sin and that He lived His entire life without sinning so Jesus certainly was the only sinless person. However scripture is definitely not relating that His followers will always sin or they will always have sickness in their lives. Scripture is actually stating the exact opposite of that utter nonsense and it is relating how the children of God will learn how to overcome their sin and their sicknesses.
Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. This meant for us to stop sinning entirely and to start living holy and righteously just as God commanded. We are all born in sin and we all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God but this does not mean that a believer can never stop sinning. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and this occurs at the moment that we repent of our sins and we accept Jesus and His Holy Spirit into our life. Once we receive His Holy Spirit we were then commanded to surrender our will to God so that we would allow the Spirit to sanctify our heart in God’s truth. Sanctification takes years and it requires our faith, patience, suffering and endurance since the Holy Spirit teaches us how to overcome our sins. Once we learn how to overcome our sins then we have now overcome our sicknesses since they come from sin and the devil. This is the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind through His sacrifice but yet most misguided believers do not understand this truth. Most fall for the devil’s lie that you could still be a Christian and also a sinner and that sickness is a normal part of this life. They prove that they are fools and they will perish in their sin and their ignorance.
Imagine being so incredibly arrogant, that you actually believe you exist everyday of your life without sin. That boggles the mind. Context is our friend and needs to be applied correctly when citing scripture. By your definition, you've reached a full state of sanctification so that you never sin. Are you saying it's no longer possible for you to sin? Or that you can't sin even if you tried? And again by your own definition, if you did happen to sin, you would no longer be a Christian. Curious what view you hold towards the assuredness of salvation. Apparently when Jesus said that those that enter by the narrow gate are few, he really meant just you and Him. Because every other person who has and who will walk this earth sins on a daily basis. If you can look inwards and honestly say that after you read the Sermon on the Mount, that you exist without sin, you are living a lie.
@@garrettnichols6642 you are simply a fool who knows nothing in regards to God and scripture and you are destined to perish in your ignorance of truth. You clearly have no idea that your spiritual eyes are blinded and you are believing in the gospel of the devil. Your own words are proving that you are an unbeliever who follows the devil’s lies and utter nonsense since you are simply twisting the meaning of scripture in order to justify the sin and the sicknesses that you possess in your life. When your blinded eyes read the gospel of your god Lucifer you believe that it relates that you will always have sin and sickness in your life. You believe that your god provides for your needs when you labor at some job for an income. You also believe that as you grow older that it is natural for you to become weaker and when you die it will be from some type of sickness or tragedy. You believe that once you die you will now be blessed for all eternity and you do not even realize that you are destined for an eternity of suffering and torment worst then anything that you ever experienced in this here lifetime.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
Proverbs 23:7 NKJV
Your deceived and blinded eyes will not believe the true gospel of Jesus Christ where it relates that you can overcome your sin and your sicknesses so you will never need to see a doctor or take some type of pill. A gospel where you will certainly age but you will never lose your strength or become sick since you possess the Spirit of Christ who has overcome the world. A gospel that relates that you do not need to labor at some job since God will provide for all of your financial needs. A gospel that relates that no tragedy will cut your life short and you will live a long and healthy life. And finally a gospel that relates how you will have an expected end so that when you die you will simply stop breathing and you will then begin your new eternal life in your new incorruptible body. This is the big difference between a Christian and a deceived believer. A deceived believer still can sin and can still get sick but a Christian can never sin or can ever get sick since they live their life exactly “like Christ.”
“Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.”
Joshua 14:6-11 NKJV
“So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.”
Deuteronomy 34:5-7 NKJV
“You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you. You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss. You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth. You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season. Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Job 5:22-27 NKJV
“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
Psalms 91:5-16 NKJV
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10 NKJV
“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 NKJV
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NKJV
God commanded us to live holy and righteously which can only be achieved by overcoming sin and not being able to sin anymore. Because you lack knowledge of scripture you are foolishly allowing your god Lucifer to convince you that you will always sin and that you will always have sickness and that somehow you will still be a child of God who will have eternal life.
That could not be any further from the truth since a child of God has overcome sin and sickness and they can no longer sin. So continue believing your nonsense and I can guarantee that the only eternal life that you will possess is with your god Lucifer in the second death where all of the liars and the unbelievers will then be thrown into the lake of fire.
“And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV
“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
I Peter 1:13-16 NKJV
“He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Revelation 22:11 NKJV
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33 NKJV
It blows my mind that a creature such as you would dare say that you are morally perfect in light of the simple fact that you are a creature! Anyone person who declare that they cannot sin is sinning (1 John 1). The audacity it takes for someone to compare themselves to Christ while they are still on earth!!!
@@wassup_-ku5ty you are simply a fool who belongs to the devil.
Since you are writing to try and prove me wrong you certainly revealed to me how you are nothing more then an ignorant person who thinks that they know more about scripture then they actually do. Realize that I am a sanctified Christian who can no longer sin nor can ever get sick and if you truly were my brother or sister then you would have known that what I related was 100% correct since a child of God is someone who has overcome sin and sickness in their life. So your response is proving to me that you are not my brother or sister in Christ and that you are simply a misguided believer who fell for the devil’s lives and who possess sin and sickness in their life.
You are just one of the many many misguided believers who do not understand scripture and so you try to twist what scripture is relating in order to justify the sin and the sickness that you possess in your life. You clearly do not understand that you cannot possibly be a child of God if you can still sin or if you can ever get sick since there is not one scripture verse where God ever related that a person who possesses sin or sickness in their life is His child! There is not one scripture verse where God ever instructed you to live in sin or where God ever stated that you will always sin either! Lastly, there is not one scripture verse where God ever stated that a Christian will have sickness in their life or where sickness is a normal part of a believer’s life? Search all you like but you will never find any such scriptures since they do not exist.
So you foolishly chose to believe the gospel of your god Lucifer where it relates that you will always have sin and sickness in your life so you need doctors and their medicine. You will have to labor at a job for an income because you believe this is how God provides for your needs. So you believe that you must labor until you retire and then you will become weaker as you age and eventually grow old and die from some type of sickness or tragedy. You foolishly believe that you are saved but you have no idea that when you die that you will suffer for all eternity because of your unbelief of truth.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
Proverbs 23:7 NKJV
Your blinded eyes would not believe the true gospel of Jesus Christ where it relates that you can overcome your sin and your sicknesses so you will never need a doctor or some pill. You do not need to labor at some job since God would provide for all of your financial needs. You will certainly age but you will never lose your strength or become sick since you possess the Spirit of Christ who has overcome the world. And when you die to this life you will simply stop breathing and you will then begin your new eternal life in your new incorruptible body. This is the difference between a Christian and a believer. A believer still can sin and can still get sick but a Christian cannot sin nor ever get sick since they live exactly “like Christ.”
So your ignorant response proves to me that you could not comprehend or understand what I related in my comment and it proves to me that you are nothing more then a deceived believer who can still sin and who can still get sick. It also proves to me that you have just denied God’s word and truth and you clearly had no idea what the consequences are for doing so.
Psalm 107:17. “Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.”
Know what this means? First transgression, it means an act that goes against a rule, a law or a code of conduct. Next iniquity, it means a wicked act or thing, sin. Finally, affliction, it means something that causes persistent pain or suffering. Translated it is saying that you are a fool if you do not follow God’s laws and commands and you go and sin because you will then have pain, suffering and sickness.
God commanded us live a holy and righteous life and He expected us to overcome both sin and sickness in this wicked world. I can definitely testify that this blessing is possible since I am someone who has been sanctified in truth and I can no longer sin nor do I ever get sick. So for anyone to say that we all sin or that we all get sick is simply a lie and that certainly makes them a fool in the eyes of God.
I am a servant of God who was instructed to relate my testimony that a believer can overcome sin and sickness since this is the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind. But in you ignorance you allowed the devil to make you believe that you were wiser then you actually are and so you tried to prove a sanctified disciple of Jesus Christ wrong with your misguided beliefs. You clearly have no idea that you are your own worst enemy since you condemned yourself by denying the truth that God had me relate. Now understand that I am not condemning your soul at all. I simply possess the wisdom to know when a deceived believer blasphemes the Spirit of truth and I know that they will never be forgiven for doing so. So I will not waste any of my time going back and forth with you since there is nothing that I could write that could help your unbelieving soul in the least.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”
Isaiah 54:17 NKJV
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.”
Matthew 18:6-9 NKJV
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:31-37 NKJV
I’m assuming your definition of sin is “ going against the laws that God has spelled out for us in His Word”. Well did you not just break one of them?
Romans 14:1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but do not quarrel over opinions.
1 Pet. 3:15 .... always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is within you; yet do it with gentleness and respect
Ephesians 4:9 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
And the one that tears down your idolatrous view of yourself: GOOD SENSE MAKES ONE SLOW TO ANGER AND IT IS IN HIS GLORY TO OVERLOOK AN OFFENSE ( Prov. 19:11).
You sir have not done any of those things. If you want anyone to come to the truth of Christ you don’t start by insulting them and their intellect- that is what drives them away! From how you commented back with insults to my personal character and intellect is what the Bible teaches us NOT to do if we want people to come to Christ ( though I understand there are times where we must be more affirmative, but even then we should watch our tongue). James 1:19-20 tells us to be slow to anger and slow to speak. I am not angry with you sir, I am genuinely concerned for you since you promote a false image of yourself as morally perfect, I am saddened, not angry. But you are angry. It is obvious from your insults, which stems from the fact that we have spoken against a false image of yourself. If you think that you are incapable of sin, reevaluate yourself in the light of those verses. Because from your logic, from how you continue to speak with insults, disrespect, and condescension which is AGAINST BIBLICAL INSTRUCTION then you are not saved. The whole of Scripture shows that man from birth to death is not perfect in any way. What of the Patriarchs and the Prophets they have went against God and have incurred His anger and wrath. Jesus said that Abraham looked toward His day and was glad- just as we look back in time to the Cross the OT figures looked forward, but even so the Bible gives us evidence that they too were not perfect and still were in sin though they saw Christ’s day. Unless you wanna deny that all the OT prophets, (some of) the Kings, and the patriarchs are in hell, you gotta give up this satanic theology that man is perfect in any sense while on earth.
Again, I am not angry, but grieved and saddened. I pray that you will see how the Bible truly displays the nature of man, both outside and inside the confine of salvation and then come to a saving relationship with God. As J. Calvin in book one of his institutes, an adequate understanding of man comes from an adequate understanding of the Divine and His character. Sir I believe that this theology comes a false understanding of where the line between creature and Creator are and from a bad understanding of His supreme holiness and moral perfection. I pray that you will come to a true saving knowledge.
Much love and RESPECT! God bless!
