I never had exposure to reformed theology but like Vodie, I began to see it all the more I read the scripture and the more the Holy Spirit revealed. Then I looked into it and found out that it was a long held doctrine by the likes of Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Spurgeon, and many more right up to around 1900 when it began to be lost in pulpits. Today we have MacArthur, Sproul’s sermons, and Baucham along with many more it seems. I just can’t find anything that isn’t true or is contrary in reformed theology.
I wholeheartedly agree. Getting a doctorate is super hard work. Dr Baucham holds a D.Min (Doctor of Ministry) as opposed to a DTh (Doctor of Theology) or the more we'll known PhD (Doctor of Philosophy).
Prayer. Pray that no weapon against you will prosper. Pray for guidance, patience and have faith that God the Father will do it for you. Pray pray pray. He’s here even if you don’t think so or feel His presence. Distractions won’t go away. But if you read the word and live by Gods standards and not by the worlds, you will discern the distractions and know how to deal with them
@@janicejette4374 What you say is true, Janice. There's only one problem with your argument, and that is that you said the words "want" and "reject," which imply free will. See, it's one or the other. Free will or predestination. If it's free will, we reject God and go to hell, fair enough. If it's predestination, then we do not have free will, our actions are dictated by God's will, and thus God is the one who chooses which ones of us are saved and which go to hell, which isn't right or just or fair or loving. II Peter 3:9 NKJV [9] The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to repentance. Clearly, God does not want or choose for anybody to go to hell, which means we have to have the free will to choose to reject Him. Just because God knows the future (and is all-powerful), doesn't mean everything goes according to His will. He limited His own will that we might have the gift of choice.
Amen! Love his preaching!
I love his preaching. He is so on point with God word.

You know, he's a Dr. and a Pastor. I'm sure he wouldn't care but please acknowledge his work and change his title from Mr. to one of the above😊

What if he wants it to remain Mr.
Doctor, Pastor to me, possible to him, it does not matter
Is there any way we can eliminate the distractions? The teaching is great by itself.

Yes! Just turn it on and just listen and don't look. The words are what's important.☺️🩷
Yes except he preaches predestination, which raises a number of questions such as "what about all those who are not saved?"
What does the Bible say? It's not just Voddie who preaches this. He is preaching from the Word ...
Voddie talks about that in another video. I watched it some weeks ago and forgot the name. You’re gonna have to do the research.
All those who are not saved are those who never wanted any part of our Lord. Those who reject Him will not be with Him.
Read the Bible and you will figure it out.❤
