Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:10.340
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. Hey everybody we are gonna be

3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:14.880
doing something right now that is all my fault if it fails it would be God's

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.720
idea if it works and that is we're gonna be doing the shotgun episodes. You

5
00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:26.820
guys having sent us questions I've not seen the questions only our production

6
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:31.900
team they've seen the questions it's unrehearsed it's raw and I've got 60

7
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:36.380
seconds to answer the question the best I can and then we'll be moving on I

8
00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:42.560
probably bit off more than what I could chew but I had this idea and again

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:50.180
if it flops it's on me if it blesses you then it's on God.

question what is your morning routine what is my morning routine my morning

19
00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:54.220
routine is about 4 a.m. 4 a.m. is the time when you get up and from 4 a.m. to about

20
00:01:54.220 --> 00:02:02.100
6.30 the world is perfect quiet the ability to focus and pray is so crystal

21
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:08.700
clear I have to tell you that after after that time period my day is just

22
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:14.180
doing it's just doing from about seven o'clock on it's just doing from 4 to

23
00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:20.060
6.30 is just God time I might read a book I might read a that is a book of

24
00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:25.180
the Bible I might sit in the dark and do nothing but think about him I might

25
00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:31.820
sing him a song I might pray but I I just spend that time and I know that when

26
00:02:31.820 --> 00:02:35.420
I do that then everything else for the rest of the day I don't worry about it

27
00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:39.260
no matter what happens I don't worry about it 4 a.m. you see jack 4 a.m. you're

28
00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:44.260
gonna go to bed early yep you're gonna wind up that that's just gonna happen

29
00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:49.840
oh man I got three seconds left so do it and see what happens do it for 30

30
00:02:49.840 --> 00:03:00.300
days all right all right cremation cremation okay start the clock cremation

31
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:06.780
cremation doesn't matter to God for this one reason number one there are many

32
00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:12.460
who have perished by way of fire tragically we're doing this right now just a

33
00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:18.740
few days after the horrific fires of Lahaina in Maui and believers burned to

34
00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:24.540
death said to say worse to say that unbelievers burned to death but cremation is

35
00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:29.580
something that when a believer is burned to death in a car are burned to death in a

36
00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:35.620
home what's the problem there is no problem to God ashes to ashes dust to dust

37
00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:42.820
listen what what burning or cremation does in about 33 minutes the earth does to

38
00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:48.620
us in a casket in about 35 years so it's not a factor however it is a factor

39
00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:53.480
based upon your your convictions it's personal it's personal so don't be

40
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:57.780
bound by any religious mandate that that's what you have to do no matter

41
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:04.220
what anybody says because believers get burnt next question next question why

42
00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:08.740
did God create the whole universe if he only used it for us why did God create

43
00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:14.140
the whole universe if he just used it for us I have no idea all he does is he

44
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:18.340
tells us in the Bible to go outside and look at it and praise him and give him

45
00:04:18.340 --> 00:04:23.700
all the glory however I will add that God knew that in the 21st century we

46
00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:31.020
would have deep space technologies to take telescopes like the Hubble and I

47
00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:35.380
forget the name of the newest one that replaced the Hubble and look deeper the

48
00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:40.340
deeper we look into space we learn a lot about number one space is a lot younger

49
00:04:40.340 --> 00:04:44.820
than we thought scientifically it's younger than we thought and also it's much

50
00:04:44.820 --> 00:04:49.780
more beautiful than what we thought by looking out so science has led us to

51
00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:58.060
see God's creation and I think it's Psalm 19 where it announces to us that the

52
00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:05.860
heavens give glory to God and but by all means Christ died on this planet which

53
00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:10.040
means we are the ones that he's focused on and he loves you and he loves us

54
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.780
next question are there still prophets today do you have any scriptures back

55
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:20.980
there are not prophets today as there were in the Old Testament why the book of

56
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:27.300
Hebrew says no way chapter one Jesus is the last voice that God has given when

57
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:33.020
it comes to prophetic revelation prophetic revelation but you might say

58
00:05:33.020 --> 00:05:37.020
but Jack in the Bible New Testament there's the gift of prophets or prophecy

59
00:05:37.020 --> 00:05:41.860
that's correct the word means a heralder there are those who herald forth the

60
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:47.020
word of God so for example under the office of prophet it could be a pastor

61
00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:51.540
teacher who operates in the prophetic sense there could be an evangelist like

62
00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:56.380
Billy Graham or Greg Laurie who operates in the prophetic sense but there are no

63
00:05:56.380 --> 00:06:01.380
prophets today that for tell the future there are prophets today in the New

64
00:06:01.380 --> 00:06:06.380
Testament church that forth tell the word of God so don't let anybody tell you

65
00:06:06.380 --> 00:06:09.860
God's called me to be a prophet I had this happen to me last night some

66
00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:13.220
prophet tried to tell me what I'm supposed to do next when God already told me

67
00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:20.300
in the Bible what I should do so don't let anybody be fool you if God is a

68
00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:24.780
God of love then how come people are sick dying and there's so much terrible

69
00:06:24.780 --> 00:06:28.620
destruction happening if God is a God of love why is there so much junk going

70
00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:33.100
on in this world because he's the God of love watch this number one because he's

71
00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:39.460
the God of love you know that what you see is wrong it's wrong to see a baby

72
00:06:39.460 --> 00:06:47.100
born to die it's wrong to see accidents murder mayhem violence evil sickness you

73
00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.060
know what's wrong don't you the reason why you know it's wrong is because you

74
00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:53.140
know what's good and the reason why you know what's good is because God has

75
00:06:53.140 --> 00:06:58.620
taught you in your heart he's written it upon your heart what is good so the evil

76
00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:02.500
that happens we need to start putting blame where blame is due this is Satan's

77
00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:06.300
realm right now everybody Satan is the prince of the power of the air remember

78
00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:10.420
that Jesus Christ in the second coming is coming back to take position of the

79
00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:15.900
earth so when something happens in your life you need to say Satan stinks and I

80
00:07:15.900 --> 00:07:19.140
know he hates me but God loves me and that's why we're suffering like we are

81
00:07:19.140 --> 00:07:23.100
right now because Satan is running around and it's going to get worse by the way

82
00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:27.340
he's got a long leash right now but listen Christ is going to come back and fix

83
00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:33.180
it I've heard a lot of children ask this question where are dinosaurs in the

84
00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:37.980
Bible and what happened to them read the book of Job dinosaurs in the Bible what

85
00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:43.220
happened to them we know that what happened to them probably was the flood the

86
00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:49.580
flood probably took care of the dinosaurs as we know them remember this that the

87
00:07:49.580 --> 00:07:54.500
structures of dinosaurs which are awesome bones of dinosaurs which are awesome I'm

88
00:07:54.500 --> 00:08:00.540
not sure right now to date if we have an actual full dinosaur intact so a lot of

89
00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:05.460
dinosaurs that you and I know and love are conjecture regarding what they look

90
00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:11.380
like however dinosaurs are real their bones are real but the flood when you

91
00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:16.600
examine the effects of the flood like in the Grand Canyon and in Pallaxi

92
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.380
Texas and in other places Nevada Utah other parts of the world notice that

93
00:08:22.380 --> 00:08:26.420
we've got dinosaur bones intermingled with human bones that's fascinating why

94
00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:32.820
because they perished in the flood and so yes on dinosaurs read the book of Job

95
00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:39.260
he talks about the Bohemoth it swings his tail and knocks down the forest

96
00:08:39.260 --> 00:08:48.980
how do I respond to people who think their good works are gonna get them into

97
00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:53.620
heaven you're going to hell because if good works could get you to heaven then

98
00:08:53.620 --> 00:08:57.220
what in the world was Jesus doing on the cross the Bible says he died for the

99
00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:01.860
all the sins of the world that the book Galatians the book of Romans tells us

100
00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:06.420
that by the works of the flesh by the works of righteousness no flesh I'll be

101
00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:10.860
justified in the side of God don't fool yourself if you think you're good

102
00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:15.140
enough then you've got a really bizarre God who tortured himself on the cross

103
00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:21.220
well guess what a very very very good God came to die for a very very very bad

104
00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:25.540
person including you because you and I cannot save ourselves and that's why

105
00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:31.820
he came so don't think for a moment let me add this good works should follow

106
00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:36.900
those who believe but don't ever put good works in front of your belief that's

107
00:09:36.900 --> 00:09:42.860
works unacceptable to God and that's hell don't do it

108
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:50.100
what is the age of accountability oh man there it is next question please what is

109
00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:56.660
the age of accountability we don't know now in the Jewish tradition bar mitzvah

110
00:09:56.660 --> 00:10:01.860
or bar mitzvah for the young boy or the young girl age of 13 that's when they

111
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:08.180
become like a young adult so some people will equate that to accountability you

112
00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:12.980
can't do that accountability is based upon each individual's age of being able

113
00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:18.740
to process understand right and wrong the gospel conviction of sin and the

114
00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:23.660
need for salvation accountability is when your child is predominantly going

115
00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:28.580
through teen rebellion you know how your teenager drives you nuts the reason why

116
00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:31.540
they're starting to drive you nuts is because they're departing from your faith

117
00:10:31.540 --> 00:10:37.300
covering and they're going out now and they're they're testing authority they

118
00:10:37.300 --> 00:10:42.540
are resisting authority because why they're moving out from your faith and

119
00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:46.820
they're searching for their own so don't despise that pray for them but we

120
00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:51.300
can't set the date on exactly when

121
00:10:54.420 --> 00:10:59.540
will we all live in Jerusalem when we rule and reign with God or will some of us

122
00:10:59.540 --> 00:11:05.420
live in other countries read Revelation chapter 21 because Jerusalem is going to

123
00:11:05.420 --> 00:11:11.380
descend out of heaven and it is going to sit upon the new earth and it is a

124
00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:17.620
city not the one in Israel today the new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven and

125
00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:24.020
it's 1,400 miles squared that's just the city and the Bible says that we will go

126
00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:29.700
in and out of that city and where will we go we will go to Book of Revelation says

127
00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:35.940
nations there's going to be nations in the world in eternity and in fact the

128
00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:39.780
Bible says that the kings of the world will bring their wealth into the city

129
00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:43.860
it's going to be awesome by the way I think you should look at great paintings oil

130
00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:50.180
paintings that depict places like Yosemite Valley or Yellowstone the it's all

131
00:11:50.180 --> 00:11:54.100
going to be renewed think about the Garden of Eden on steroids it's going to be

132
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:57.620
awesome and you're going to love it it's going to be amazing but

133
00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:02.900
Jerusalem is going to be new and it's 1,400 miles in square

134
00:12:03.060 --> 00:12:10.420
does the Holy Spirit habit us the moment we become believers or do we ask the

135
00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:18.100
Holy Spirit to come upon us daily yes number one the moment you accept Christ the

136
00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:21.620
Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside and you are sealed by the Holy Spirit until

137
00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:27.460
the day of redemption that means when your body is resurrected or raptured so the

138
00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:32.580
moment you accept Christ the Holy Spirit moves inside okay the second thing is every

139
00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:36.340
believer from that moment on we don't ask the spirit to move inside of us from

140
00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:40.580
that moment on we're only saved once we ask the Holy Spirit to come upon us

141
00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:44.980
here's the difference in the words indwelling is the Greek word EN to

142
00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:50.900
induel the Holy Spirit coming upon you is the Greek word EPI EPI and the Holy

143
00:12:50.900 --> 00:12:55.620
Spirit we ask Lord come upon me today to live a life with your power to your

144
00:12:55.620 --> 00:13:01.780
glory to give you honor and praise and walk with me Lord with power he's in

145
00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:06.820
you already but you ask for the power from above that he might lead and guide you

146
00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:14.660
so you want to look at Ephesians chapter 1 on this wow John chapter 15 to John chapter 17 as well

147
00:13:17.140 --> 00:13:21.940
why did God create the earth in humans if he knew we would fail him all the time

148
00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:27.540
the answer is in Ephesians chapter 1 believe it or not he says there that in the dispensation

149
00:13:27.540 --> 00:13:35.300
of the fullness of times he will show forth his grace toward those who believe forever so

150
00:13:35.300 --> 00:13:39.620
this is the amazing thing don't ever think that God doesn't love you in light of that great

151
00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:45.220
question he knew because he can't learn anything he's God he knew that when Adam and Eve were given

152
00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:50.260
the choice to exercise free will he knew in advance that they would rebel against him

153
00:13:50.260 --> 00:13:55.460
and he went through with the deal anyway would you I wouldn't I would have just flushed the whole

154
00:13:55.460 --> 00:14:02.980
thing down the toilet but not God he is a God of restoration redemption and renewal and so he is

155
00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:10.340
going to display his love factor for you to you for us all for all eternity that's why he went

156
00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:15.380
through with it doesn't make sense to us now because we cannot relate to that depth of love

157
00:14:25.300 --> 00:14:29.380
next question did Jesus create the world for the Father

158
00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:37.460
God created the world Genesis 1 1 in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

159
00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:49.380
the word is Elohim L is God Eam I am is plural a singular plurality created all that there is

160
00:14:50.260 --> 00:14:55.700
however they did this in tandem the Bible says the Holy Spirit brewed it upon the waters of the deep

161
00:14:55.700 --> 00:15:02.660
right the Bible tells us a numerous places book of Hebrew is Colossians and other portions

162
00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:09.220
of scripture that Jesus Christ is in fact the creator of angels and the material universe which

163
00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:15.620
makes sense he's a carpenter right makes total sense to me so look at it this way the three of them

164
00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:23.300
worked in unison as the construction company of all that there is both spiritual and physical

165
00:15:23.300 --> 00:15:30.820
Jesus is the builder and maker he's the creator he was the contractor but all of it was in perfect

166
00:15:30.820 --> 00:15:39.220
unity with the Godhead the Trinity who were the sons of God in Genesis 6 2 Genesis 6 2 people are

167
00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:44.260
going to freak out but there's no way around it there's just no other argument I don't care

168
00:15:44.260 --> 00:15:49.220
when anybody says they're wasting their time and that is this the sons of God in the Old Testament

169
00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:56.980
are strictly referred to angelic creations and Genesis 6 talks about the sons of God saw that

170
00:15:56.980 --> 00:16:03.380
the daughters of man the daughters of mankind saw that they were beautiful and seized them captured

171
00:16:03.380 --> 00:16:10.180
them took them now against their wind against their will seemingly by the way and cohabitated with

172
00:16:10.180 --> 00:16:18.740
them these are fallen angels one third of the heavenly host Jude and Peter tell us that these

173
00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:27.220
these are especially held under chains of darkness because why they as angels win after strange

174
00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:32.740
flesh isn't that creepy and so it by the way it's going to happen again according to the Bible

175
00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:37.060
we're going to talk about that on the Sunday sermon coming up real soon but they are fallen angels

176
00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:44.500
that cohabitated with human females for those who die without accepting Jesus is there a chance

177
00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:49.700
that they may still go to heaven once God judges them according to their deeds absolutely not

178
00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:55.060
Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27 says it's appointed unto every man once the die and then comes their

179
00:16:55.060 --> 00:17:01.700
judgment the question I'm guessing is very rooted in Mormonism or Catholicism there's no such

180
00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:06.580
thing as purgatory that was made up by the Catholic Church and Mormons believe that they're going to

181
00:17:06.580 --> 00:17:12.340
be judged from Revelation chapter 20 but tragically Mormons are not reading their Bible chapter 20

182
00:17:12.340 --> 00:17:17.460
carefully enough all those who are judged according to their works in Revelation 20 are condemned

183
00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:25.780
to hell read it carefully when the books are opened and you are judged by your works everyone

184
00:17:25.780 --> 00:17:31.940
after the judgment cast into hell the judgment for the unbelievers is to determine the level of

185
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:37.780
punishment listen the believer is written in the lambs book of life we're not judged by your

186
00:17:37.780 --> 00:17:43.220
works we're rewarded for our faithfulness regarding our salvation and our love for Christ that's

187
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:46.900
a very important thing to remember make sure you know the difference because there's an eternal

188
00:17:46.900 --> 00:17:56.420
destination at stake how does the Sabbath apply to us Christians the book of Colossians read the

189
00:17:56.420 --> 00:18:01.140
first three chapters to the Christian listen when I say Christian can I say Christ follower instead

190
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:06.820
because that includes Jew if you are Jew if you're Muslim if you're a Hindu and you you decide to

191
00:18:06.820 --> 00:18:16.180
make a decision for Jesus you you accept Christ um the Sabbath the Bible says written in the 10

192
00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:22.100
commandments was only a symbol or a shadow or or a type of that which was to come and Colossians

193
00:18:22.100 --> 00:18:27.620
says that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Sabbath so every day of my life is a Sabbath

194
00:18:27.620 --> 00:18:33.060
just because you take the day off and you don't press the elevator button because you can't do

195
00:18:33.060 --> 00:18:38.820
any work on the Sabbath doesn't mean you're holy uh it's ridiculous the Bible says that Jesus

196
00:18:38.820 --> 00:18:43.220
fulfilled the law you can't and by the way if you're gonna keep the Sabbath why don't you keep all

197
00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:49.460
other nine of them the answer is you can't that's what Jesus is for so I have a Sabbath every day

198
00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:55.060
because he's my eternal rest make sense I don't I don't rest one day of the week I rest whenever I

199
00:18:55.060 --> 00:19:04.340
get a chance in what do you think the beast in revelation is actually technology um remember

200
00:19:04.340 --> 00:19:11.780
there's Satan there is the beast which is the antichrist and then there's the image of the beast

201
00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:20.180
one's a machine the image of the beast one is a man the antichrist and the other one is Satan

202
00:19:20.260 --> 00:19:27.860
an unholy trinity okay I believe that AI okay I confess I'm gonna hurry I gotta add one answer

203
00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:35.300
this I hold this view myself so I'm to blame if it goes wrong I believe the image of the beast

204
00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:40.580
is mechanical the Bible says power is going to be given it that it can both speak and discern

205
00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:46.980
who's got the mark of the mark of the antichrist I believe that AI is going to be this image

206
00:19:47.620 --> 00:19:55.140
but I believe a demon is going to bring it bring that image consciousness it's gonna appear to be

207
00:19:55.140 --> 00:20:00.260
so human like even though you know it's not it's gonna be so convincing and it's gonna have powers

208
00:20:00.260 --> 00:20:08.100
because it'd be demonic consciousness possessing an AI machine what should we say to Christians

209
00:20:08.100 --> 00:20:13.380
that don't vote in elections that think we should stay out of politics thanks for messing everything

210
00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:19.060
Christians who don't do the right thing have just messed everything up that's how this nation got

211
00:20:19.060 --> 00:20:27.780
to where it is today sir Robert Burke no no sir something anyway sir Edmund Burke thank you

212
00:20:27.780 --> 00:20:31.700
and Parliament said it right all that evil needs to do to try and face for good people to do

213
00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:37.540
nothing all that America needs to do is to keep people like Biden and lunatics in office including

214
00:20:37.540 --> 00:20:42.980
a lot of Republicans is for Christians to say I'm not gonna vote I'm just gonna let evil continue

215
00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:47.700
because I guess my vote doesn't matter boy you're gonna get a shockeroni when God judges you

216
00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:51.860
in heaven as a believer for the opportunity he gave you to make a difference and you didn't take

217
00:20:51.860 --> 00:20:57.300
it you were faithful at nothing because you didn't get involved you you had a light and you

218
00:20:57.300 --> 00:21:03.060
hit it under your basket and that's not gonna go well for you I vote every time for a biblical

219
00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:08.340
worldview if I win or not I still win no matter the result of the election that's what happens

220
00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:20.020
next question five more when the rapture happens will the dead in Christ bust the ground open

221
00:21:20.020 --> 00:21:25.220
or will they be like Jesus after he rose he was walking through wall I have often imagined that

222
00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:30.820
so many times and I want to be at forest lawn doing a funeral when we put somebody in the ground

223
00:21:30.820 --> 00:21:35.540
and the trumpet blows and they pop out the good dirt goes everywhere no I don't think dirt

224
00:21:35.540 --> 00:21:42.260
goes anywhere why because exactly what we'll have the resurrected glorified bodies such as Christ

225
00:21:42.260 --> 00:21:47.620
we will come out of that casket or out of that sea or out of that mountainside or out of that

226
00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:53.780
river bed or wherever our dust is at and we won't disturb any rocks or trees or whatever because

227
00:21:53.780 --> 00:21:58.980
that doesn't make any sense we'll have a glorified body because the Bible tells us that when Jesus

228
00:21:58.980 --> 00:22:03.860
was resurrected we're gonna have a body just like him he walked through walls but he ate fish remember

229
00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:10.340
that on that morning after the resurrection he on the north shore of Galilee he had fish tacos

230
00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:17.540
for them for breakfast and he cooked himself and they came and they ate and Jesus was with him

231
00:22:17.540 --> 00:22:23.060
but the food didn't fall through and hit at the ground it's amazing you're gonna have a glorified

232
00:22:23.060 --> 00:22:32.180
body which is gonna be incredibly can a person spend eternity in heaven if they take their own life

233
00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:38.660
yes Jesus died for all manner of sin don't think for a moment listen Catholic friends you're being

234
00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:45.300
told by the Catholic church that somebody could be in fact Catholic church people you know this if

235
00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:50.500
Mother Teresa would have committed suicide two minutes before she died she would have gone to

236
00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:56.980
your purgatory which doesn't exist or hell guess what that's false I am not endorsing suicide

237
00:22:56.980 --> 00:23:04.020
that's that's wrong to do but Jesus died for all manner of sin so here's the thing when somebody

238
00:23:04.020 --> 00:23:11.140
is either suicidal because of depression hormone overwhelmed by issues whatever it might be

239
00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:17.060
grief and you can't judge them in that situation you know what that's like the blood of Christ has

240
00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:22.820
taken care of that he died for all sin there is no unforgivable sin except one and that is never

241
00:23:22.820 --> 00:23:30.180
receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior don't be lied to about this terrible manipulation that

242
00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:36.980
it's automatic hell for you it's not but by all means don't take your life that's not your

243
00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:42.900
business you don't have that authority since Jesus paid the price for our sins how does the law

244
00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:50.660
of reaping what you sow still play out because I can be completely born again right now as I am

245
00:23:51.300 --> 00:23:58.820
and I can decide to disobey God in one direction and I'm gonna for example I could backslide today

246
00:23:58.820 --> 00:24:03.860
get drunk drive down the freeway crash the car and wind up spending a year in the hospital

247
00:24:04.580 --> 00:24:10.900
what's wrong with that message nothing I'm reaping what I'm sewing I was stupid and I

248
00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:17.060
did stupid and so now I'm feeling the pain of stupid okay doesn't have anything with my salvation

249
00:24:18.340 --> 00:24:23.300
flipped that around as a born again Christian if I obey God today and do the right thing

250
00:24:23.300 --> 00:24:28.820
then I can count on God to wind up blessing my obedience to him because why because he says he

251
00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:36.260
blesses obedience uh Galatians 6 verse 7 be not deceived for God is not mocked for what's over a man

252
00:24:36.260 --> 00:24:42.340
so is that Shelley also reap so think about that do the right thing be blessed it's best way to live

253
00:24:43.300 --> 00:24:55.060
well we have memories of our loved ones after we are raptured well we know if they have ever existed

254
00:24:55.860 --> 00:25:02.020
it's believed by theologians I have to preface it that way I have my my conviction on this

255
00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:09.540
but um it is believed by theologians and throughout church history that in heaven there comes some

256
00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:15.780
point in time where you have no knowledge of those who are never born into the family so if you

257
00:25:15.780 --> 00:25:19.860
have a husband that's not born again you're not going to be walking around heaven saying oh my gosh

258
00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:26.820
I miss him so much he was never born you get that he was never born again into the family of God

259
00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:31.940
now at this moment in this time zone right now do people in heaven have an idea of what's going

260
00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:37.540
on here on earth the book of Revelation seems to suggest they do but remember they live in a state

261
00:25:37.620 --> 00:25:42.500
that is not like us they see things differently than you and I do now however there will be a time

262
00:25:43.620 --> 00:25:49.140
when that loved one or person that was never born again they'll never be remembered there'll

263
00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:52.980
be no remembrance of them because they were never born again into the family you've

264
00:25:56.100 --> 00:26:04.100
last question is water baptism required for salvation no but it's awesome for public display

265
00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:10.820
did you know that so what's equivalent to this kind of weird but what's equivalent to a Jew

266
00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:17.060
in circumcision circumcision is an outward display to a Jew that they've that they've been committed

267
00:26:17.060 --> 00:26:23.620
to Yahweh but the Jews trust in circumcision and God says from old to New Testament you made a

268
00:26:23.620 --> 00:26:29.460
big mistake in trusting an outward circumcision he says and Isaiah I want your heart circumcised

269
00:26:29.540 --> 00:26:35.620
he says it again in Romans we get water baptized after we've been born again when we've

270
00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:40.820
repented of our sins and given our lives to Jesus Christ and we confess Christ as Lord and Savior

271
00:26:40.820 --> 00:26:46.340
that the next thing is to publicly make that display remember what Jesus said if you acknowledge

272
00:26:46.340 --> 00:26:51.540
me before men I will acknowledge you before my father which is in heaven water baptism is a

273
00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:56.660
public display of an internal commitment that you've made that's how people know you're a

274
00:26:56.660 --> 00:27:07.060
Christ follower go get baptized because why because you were already saved oh yeah hey listen
