Okay, so let me explain So you all are wondering The purpose the nature what's going on with the title? I'm saying that I am or have been wrong on my stance on one saved always safe I'm gonna tell you why I'm making this statement After a Not a lengthy discussion, but a discussion a deep discussion with someone I had to kind of reevaluate things kind of just Change my stance now Some of you are wondering wait a second. How in the world could you have done all this stuff all this talking all this teaching on? Eternal security on one saved always safe, and then all of a sudden change Well The other question or that thoughts people are having is it's got to be some clickbait There's there's no way in the world that he's changing on his stance on one saved always safe That can't Something's going on Cory. What's wrong?  No, listen, it's not clickbait Okay, it's not clickbait. I can promise you that now what I have to explain to you exactly what it is But it's not clickbait Also, it's not me changing what I think about eternal security if I ever deny The sufficiency of the blood of Christ what he's done on the cross If I ever deny that you can come you can all of you line up and Give me one of those will Smith fresh Prince of Bel-Air at the Oscar slap That's what you can do if I ever change my stance on that. I am secure and rooted and grounded in that I have not seen scripture one to get me to leave that So What's with the with the title Here's what's with the title I had a discussion with my better half Now if you guys are married and you have a discussion with your better half you better listen What's the old saying? Happy wife happy life Well, and she was right She reminded me of something that I had stated and it's real easy to get kind of caught up into and that is You want to make sure that you don't ever sink down low to someone else's level? Okay, I Don't think that's happened But I don't even want to give it the the appearance that I'm going to be in a kind of tit for tat sort of discussion When I did a video and I'm gonna take the video down I'm gonna take the video down or Rename the video. No, I'm gonna take video down because we came up with a different solution I'm gonna take the video down that I did Called dumb responses to one saved always safe. Why because that can be a little bit inflammatory It can come across as though I am calling the people who make these responses dumb. I'm not calling them dumb I'm just saying what was what was stated was it wasn't the brightest wouldn't Wasn't your best and it kind of gives the impression that I'm down to get in the mud with you and so forth now that being said The people that were featured on that who I play a couple of their clips had already gone to the mudslee I'm not gonna say who it is who they were But they've already gone to the mudsling and it's not and you know what I want to do I Want to make it abundantly clear to certain people that we're not we're not, you know I don't want to say the same level, but we're not at the same locale the same place, okay? and so One of them I happened to have had on matter of fact, I think it back I had both of them on in one way shape or fashion On the broadcast should not have done that I should have done and need to do a better job of vetting who comes on who doesn't now There's certain people in the chats who I see you know And I kind of see how they kind of govern themselves and remember some of their comments They may have emailed me and you know what that person come on you can come on But I will do a much better job going forward And so there's where the apology is my stance on one saved always saves that I won't be so Appearing I won't appear to be so harsh towards people who have not figured this thing out I think it's vitally clear. I think it's evident What the scriptures say so what I'm gonna do as opposed to having let's say something like that that I get I I understand honey. You were right that That can come across as being inflammatory almost fighting so I'm gonna stop that But instead I'm just gonna take all their questions and answer them every last one of their questions Because what happens is they will look and say well, wait a second. He didn't he didn't answer those questions Well, I've answered every I've already answered every last one of those questions But I get it because those questions that were asked were asked in a in a video That's an hour long or two hours long. You may not know Where to go and find those those those questions That's fine. So I Will make a video over every I mean every every last scripture that anyone wants to bring up that says that you can lose your salvation That's what I'll do and I will title it as such May not get it doesn't matter how many folks watch it But at least it'll be there for someone who says well, wait a second go to first Timothy 4 1 I've already done that but I'll have a video just for that. Wait a minute go to Revelation 3 Well, I've already covered that but I'll have a video so you can just go and look Revelation 3 Go to James 5. I'll have a video where it's just James 5 that way we'll kind of keep it respectable and so in that regard I will make sure that not my Belief about one saved always save has changed. No my stance towards you. I'm not going to Even give the appearance that I am kind of getting down in the mud and so forth. Okay, so yeah now Do I think that it is? Ridiculous to believe that a person loses salvation. I do so I do I do but I don't want you to think that I think that you if you believe that are ridiculous Do I think that some of the statements people make about those of us who hold to this true doctrine? Do I think some of their statements are absolutely utterly nonsensical and also Really the meaning that this is a doctrine of demons. How is that? I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me How's that a doctrine of demons? That you have given us this doctrine gives people a license to sin Well, I certainly did a video about that as a matter of fact, I tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna I'm gonna re-release that video about us believing this that we have a license to sin because we don't Anyone that continues to sin is not a Christian anyone that that a that wants to abide Under a life of sinning not a Christian because I believe that most people just don't understand what a Christian is And so matter of fact, I asked this question some time ago. I Asked this question some time ago Let's see how do I put this I want to I want to read it the right way I want to read it the right way. Okay, it goes like this How how long this for all you guys who believe that you can lose your salvation? Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. I gotta I gotta stop. I gotta stop. This is one of my old my old prison buddies My brother my brother James What's going on James? I know it's James because no one else spells their name SELPH. What's going on brother? That's one a one of my good friends. Anyway He's one of those guys that if he calls if he texts whatever He's got my attention So we were we were down doing bad together. How's that? So and you know what kind of person and I see I see Pagani in a chance He'll tell you anybody that's ever been down when you a lot of times you get out of prison You'll find a friend that was in prison With you at your worst who is cool with you at your worst And that's a person that will ride with you because they don't expect anything They didn't see you at your best and so they're not looking down at you Kind of like the way that that the Christ has done us and so anyway I just happen to see him and just you know my eyes just popped up anyway, but anyway that being said To you guys that believe that you cannot lose your salvation How long do you have to believe in? Order to be saved How long does a person and even to the people who believe that you can lose your salvation same question? How long do you have to believe in order to be saved? It's just I have to believe just I don't know today's Monday. So I believe on Monday I make it to Tuesday. Am I still safe? Because that's where the issue comes in What if a person stops believing? Well guys, have we not covered this if a person stops believing cannot a Christian Okay, we're gonna look at some passages and talk about how in order to be a Christian You must believe to the end but being a Christian means you will believe to the end. It's kind of like it's kind of like this Do we sin because we're sinners or do are we sinners because we sin well, it's both Do we believe because we're Christians or are we Christians because we believe well, it's both Christians believe So if a person continues to believe so all you who believe that a person can Be safe today and not be safe tomorrow that a person can lose your salvation walk away What happened whatever whatever tag you want to put on it? If you believe that you can lose your salvation. Here's my question What about a person who continues to believe? Until the end it can that person lose their salvation. So Not you guys not now matter of fact, let's do this for a second you guys in the chat Let's just let's just do this real quick. Let's do this real quick. Hmm. I Want to ask this question you guys and I'll go back to this Do you believe a person can lose their salvation? However, you want to title it even though if you don't believe it That's the right way to put it a person can walk away a person can be safe a day and not save tomorrow If you can believe a person can forfeit their salvation lose their salvation walk away from the salvation Blast and whatever Put a yes put a why if you believe that a person cannot lose their salvation put it in I want to take a real quick poll If you if you I won't put a real quick poll because I I'm going somewhere with this I'm going somewhere with this. Okay. I don't have to rush Because all my teams got beat Indiana Purdue Notre Dame and in Texas Tech, but it's okay though. It's okay. I'm good So I need to know put a yes or no. No, you cannot lose your salvation or yes, you can All right, I got some wise so now Good amount of wise good amount of wise good all you people who have the why besides your name only you Only you who believe that you can lose your salvation if I continue to believe Forever will I lose my salvation? That's you guys. Yes If I continue if I continually believe Will I ever lose my salvation? Now guys go ahead and put your answer in if I continually believe will I ever lose my salvation? Yes or no? New a new question. I'm going somewhere with this. I need you to I need you to I need you to hear me on this If I continually believe will I ever lose my salvation? If I continue to believe What now now I don't want to hear depends on on on on your fruit you bear if I continue to believe Will I ever lose my salvation if I continue to abide? Will I ever lose my salvation if I continue to bear fruit? Will I ever lose my salvation? If I continue will I ever lose my salvation so far I see all knows all ends Okay, here we go believe how okay? Well Cepa says yes, tell me see this how in the world could you tell me tell me and see if I don't know if you're a man or a woman But tell me how if I continue to believe continue to walk continue to abide I can still lose my salvation. Wow, okay Help help us out help the floor out If I continue to believe if I continue to abide if I continue to walk if I continue to bear fruit Can I ever lose my salvation if I if I legitimately believe in Christ? I I believe what Christ has done on the cross paid my debt. I've got a repentant heart. I Never stop believing that I continually believe Will I lose my salvation guys? Well, I will I is it possible for me to not go to heaven? Obviously the answer is no and what it is is this what happens Maybe folks are reading to my level of confidence is me asking this question Because folks are putting little little dependent clauses on the where depends on if this would not I'm stating as clear as I can put it if I continually believe if I Continually believe if I continue to walk if I continue to abide if I can Calvin Robertson says yes, I can I I okay see who says I'm a man. Okay, see if okay, brother You say you can lose your salvation even if I continually believe if I put my faith in Christ I never stopped believing him If I continue to abide if I never walk away, you're saying yes possibly Okay I gotta set you to the side. Okay The reason why okay Josh. Okay y'all the rest you guys hold on Josh. Let me ask you a question What is it? Are you saved Josh? If so, how did you how did you become saved? What are you doing to be saved? That's what I want to know Josh Corden you're on the floor if you are saved. I'm assuming that you are What did you do to become safe and are you continuing to do those things? Okay, I need you to hurry up Josh because the whole world is waiting on you I don't mean like a superficial artificial belief Yeah, I believe Jesus died on the cross for me. Yeah, I believe that. Yeah matter of fact as soon as I get my finances Right, I'm gonna get saved not that kind of belief. Okay Do you believe Josh? We need to know Josh. We need to know Josh. I know you quit with the typing Josh Are you currently saving? If so, how did you become saving? Are you okay? Believe in the sacrifice of Christ? Okay fine? Fine. All right. So Josh if everybody is believing in the sacrifice of Christ, which I just said by the way If they do that, can they lose their salvation they continue now? Here's the reason why I'm asking this question guys If every last it looks like almost all of you believe that If you believe that then guess what you believe you believe in one saved always saved No, I don't Cory. Yes, you do. No, I don't Yes, you do. No, I don't. Oh, yes, you do Let me tell you how Because to be a Christian to be saved on day one you enter into a state of continual believing Now I know you may not have been taught that I know maybe that some of you guys have not been taught What it means to be a Christian But a Christian isn't somebody who today I'm good tomorrow. I'm not no How do I know well in the Bible? We're gonna go by the Bible, okay? And then we'll also just for the just for kicks and giggles Cover some of your passages that you want to throw up Because it was said I've heard it said that Cory You only cover a couple passages. You only talk about you talk about John 1028 and he's okay fine Hey, what I'm gonna do also won't even talk about John 1028. I won't talk about Ezekiel 36. Okay off the board And let's see if I can make my point. So now the Bible when it talks about Believing it is necessary. How are we safe? Faith? Matter of fact, let me let me throw a passage on the screen real quick Let's see dog on it Let me put it up on him you type it in so I don't want to I don't want to mess with the other passages That I do already have up here But I want to go to the past and you all tell me how I should how I should read and interpret this passage One two three four click on this All right I'm gonna stay in John, which I don't know why a person would say Cory You should not be on a particular passage if the book if the passage is in the Bible, but I'm sailing John Okay, now let me put one on the screen so you guys can see this I've covered this past before but it says truly truly I say to you whoever believes has eternal life Whoever believes has eternal life. All right, so now Jesus makes a statement. This is not this is not John Writing down what I said. This is John writing down what Jesus says and he says whoever believes I don't know why I got this thing so bright. There we go Probably like headlights coming off my glasses as bright as that screen was the glare bouncing off of it But anyway Jesus said not Cory. Jesus says that whoever believes now I won't even delve into the to the yeah, well, I'll delve into the whoever The person that believes What do they have What do they have now someone says why don't I do? Why don't I deal with backs backsliding? Okay, while while we're on this malmandu in favor find the passage because there's only one passage It talks about backsliding find that passage will cover it Okay, and I have covered I'm not I'm not trying to be snark or anything like that or whatever But I want to stay with this and then I want you to remind me So find that passage dealing with backsliding, you know, and I'll cover it again. Okay, I have covered it before but Obviously everyone hadn't sat and watched every single one of these live streams I don't even watch all my live streams when I'm through so and I mean to but I never do because I'm just tired I'm on to the next thing But anyway The passage says whoever believes the person that believes has eternal life. Let's go back to the passage When does a person when they believe Get eternal life according to this passage The passage says has Okay, you all know me I'm gonna look at I'll look at the prodigal son if you want to Josh, but focus with me on this So here's the problem guys and this is where what I want you guys to do is kind of put those in your back pockets The passes that that you have already to try to disprove me Put them in your back pocket. I'll take your questions put in your back pocket When I get to some questions go ahead and throw it up there.  I'm gonna cover the prodigal son. I'll cover that I'll cover James I'll cover both passive people bring up in 1st Timothy. I'll I'll cover Galatians every passing revelation All every listen if it's 75 passages that you guys bring up will have 75 videos Some of them are gonna be shorter than others. Okay, so According to the passage Josh and anyone else When does Jesus say who who who gets eternal life the person who believes? Okay, now this has you guys speak English and so I'll just use the English context has his present tense Right has is present tense Yeah, I'm not changing that in that regard. No, I'm not changing like that. So has is present tense So if you believe you presently have it, right? So believing is Essential you have to believe now some of you guys think that you've got to have you got to believe and do four other Things that go along with this you got to believe and do this and that or whatever No, if you believe now implicit in believing guys Implicit in believing is that you have a repentant heart. So you have to repent. Okay? That goes without saying Okay To be a believer you have to have been baptized in the spirit Paul tells us that every single believer has been baptized into the body by the spirit Where the person has been believing for one day one minute one hour one year one month one decade All of those believers have been baptized in the body. The key identifying mark of a believer is the Holy Spirit Okay, so now so if a person believes He has presently eternal life, but the question on the floor was If a person continually believes will he have eternal life will he ever lose the salvation and the answer is no So now the next question is is but does a believer does a true Christian continually believe Yes, a true Christian continually believes Now someone's gonna say and I've heard it brought up about John 15 My take on John 15 is that is that the passage where he says you didn't choose me But I chose you even up to that point. He's speaking about Christians, I mean about all believers not just the apostles Because there's no grammatical key that tells us that he's shifted from talking to to the disciples From from the whole world to now just the disciples. Okay? But I believe that Christians abide Christians continue to abide I think that there are warning passages to tell us to make sure Hey, if you're not enduring if you're not abiding not bearing fruit, then guess what you're not You're not a Christian because he tells us to check to see to make sure not everyone who says Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven Now we're gonna find out in a little bit that God has already said that all the believers that get the Holy Spirit that all the believers Are going to continue in him That all the believers will never depart from him. That's what God said Before we even get to the cross God said when he does this this is what's gonna happen And he cannot mean God doesn't mean that He's speaking about after we get to heaven Who who makes the argument that you could possibly forfeit your salvation when you get to heaven, right? So All right, Josh you throw that all kind of you're throwing out all kind of stuff Josh Hold through that gun for a second. I'm break. Just hold through that gun Put it put that your gun put in the holster save all those bullets that you're shooting off Just hold on brother. Hold on. I want you to track with me I don't think you're gonna track with me if you're looking for passages to refute me. That's fine I'm gonna give you an opportunity. I make I'll make sure I will cover at least one of your passages Okay, so but I want you to follow what I'm saying Now You got all kind of scripts go this the hold on Josh Josh hold on hold on Josh So according to this passage though if you believe you have eternal life Let's go back to it. I want to see where the condition is this does Jesus put a condition No, we don't see any conditions place on here if you go from 35 on up matter of fact We don't want to go to 37 35 37 because people get a little bothered by what's what stated there because it looks like God is kind of more in control But according to verse 47 truly truly I say to you whoever believes now the point that I'm trying to make about the believing I Said that Christians enter into a constate into a continual state of believing You enter in and you keep believing Because something happens that causes you to keep believing something happens that caused you to keep walking He's greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world the Holy Spirit He causes you if you don't this the this is the crazy part. I think and I'll get back on topic, but I Often wonder though when people who believe that you can lose your salvation People who believe that you can walk away. What in the world does a Holy Spirit do in a person who has salvation and then forfeits Then walks away. What's the that's a weak Holy Spirit? I think to me if the Holy Spirit is just sitting there just chillin If the Holy Spirit is sitting there chillin, I wonder what Bob is gonna do today Well, Bob don't go over there Bob don't mess with her Bob don't this but The Holy Spirit is just is the Holy Spirit along for the ride Is that what we're saying the Holy Spirit is just along for the ride or it's a Holy Spirit active What you cannot ask for and focus on the power of the Holy Spirit, but the power of the Holy Spirit is weak and feckless in you That's why he says greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world That's why he says that's why he says he who began a good work. Oh, by the way, the Holy Spirit is God He who began a good work. He's faithful To complete it to see you through that gets you to the finish line Okay, no John Tony, they ain't clickbait. No, it's good. No, it's not clickbait buddy. Listen. I'm changing my tone My stance I'm not gonna call these folks out anymore because I shouldn't do that I didn't start off doing that and so I'm gonna move away from that. Okay, I was just having fun and I should not have Okay, so no, it's not no, I'm not changing my view or how I think about eternal security No, I'm changing my stance on how I deal with with other people. That's all that's all so anyway So the Holy Spirit has to be something in you My God if if the Holy Spirit can't hold me can't have any influence in my life Then I don't need the Holy Spirit. You don't need the Holy Spirit if he's not gonna do anything if you just take it up If Satan is active and messing with us, how come God ain't that that's the part that this blows my mind Some of you guys who are into the move of the spirit not inside of you though Some of you guys are only into the move of the spirit when the drums are going on the guitar playing the organ is playing That's it. That's all the time that you feel the move of the spirit, but you're not as far as move the spirit in you Well, you don't have the spirit just what it is And this is what Paul says every man ought to examine himself to make sure he has it How do you examine yourself? How do you know that you're a believer because you're not believing you're not enduring You just do what you want to Okay Let's That's how you know that's how you examine yourself if you are walking in a way that's unbecoming. That's not like Christ I don't mean you know you once or twice. I'm saying you live a lifestyle of sin If sin is is what you do often that's who you are that's how you live that's how you get down Then you're not a Christian You never entered into this state of continued believing now Here's why I go to 647 and we're gonna look at this But in the Bible when it talks about someone who believes now in the English It said believes oh wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. I gotta stop. I gotta stop. I gotta stop I have to stop because somebody's gonna get bothered when I use Greek I'm sorry. I apologize if I use too much Greek forgive me Pray the Lord will deliver me from this spirit of Greek. I Got a Greek demon Pray that I get exercised this Greek demon out of me. How about that if it bothers you or or or Pray that you come to the Greek side that you become one who? appreciates the Greek who appreciates the Hebrew Now what's interesting though is people who disagree with me don't disagree with me using the Greek They disagree with me using the Greek against their argument Because I can promise you if I use the Greek to buttress or to back up their argument The Greek is fine Many of these same people have a Concordance a strong concordance that has a Greek and they'll refer to it And so them using the Greek is one thing but me using it. Oh, that's wrong So anyway, I apologize not because I'm wrong But I apologize because I haven't figured out a way to say Greek and not hurt your feelings yet That's for now and I'm not trying to be snark your mean because I've turned over a new leaf guys I'm not I'm not you know, I don't call anybody out specifically but if that's you and Greek bothers you or Hebrew bothers you, I'm I'm gonna pray for you as you pray for me. How about that? So now with that being said, let's go to the pastors and go to the Greek In your English verse 47 says I say whoever believes and the believes has spelled B E L I E V E S the S on the end Kind of seems like it's just something that that happened in the past, right? Now the problem with the Greek and English is that it didn't always translate properly And it's just that's just the way listen. That's just the way language works You'll never find one language that translates smoothly into the next I mean shoot even if you're Canadian and you speak English your English doesn't translate properly to our English, right? If you from the East Coast and you speak English your English doesn't sound like the English in Texas Matter of fact, New York English definitely doesn't sound like English in Texas And then people in Texas when they go up to the North like what'd you say? This is how it is, right? So Certainly if that's the case with English in different dialects regional dialects It's obviously the same when it comes from one language to the other language People who speak Spanish listen Try this one day get in a room with with a Mexican a Puerto Rican and a Cuban. They all speak Spanish One of the I don't even speak Spanish one of the funniest things it's just and I'm like what just that ain't so So that's that's the problem with English and languages period. Okay, but now look what it says though rather than having the ES The Greek over here is from the Greek word pistol on now The reason why I'm bringing up pistol on is because faith is from the Greek word pistas pistas means belief Trust faith. Okay, it can be used as It can be a noun and then the derivative that can be used as a as a verb now In this case pistas Now you I could use the heiress which is the past tense of someone who believed But that's not what this is. This is what's called the and I'll put it back on as you can see If you don't believe me look at the bottom left hand corner. This is a present active participle Meaning they are believing Okay, they are believing What does that mean when the Bible discusses belief or believe the faith in Christ? It is a always except for I think four or five times is describing this is 40 something fifty-something times where the Bible describes believing a believer as Enter into a state of continual believing they both they're believing the most famous passage you can think of John 3 16 For who saw it matter of fact, let's let's just put up on the screen. Let's go to John 3 16 as a matter of fact You'll see that even our English Would be better off put as believing he says that whoever believes the Greek word over here is Pistuan believing same thing Okay, same thing in matter of fact. There's a couple of the passages axe 244 John 1 2 let me go to John 1 2 since I'm already in John John 1 2 1 12. I'm sorry. I said 1 22 John 1 12 But to all who did receive him who believed uh, it's got the ed At the back in his name. He gave the right to become children of God However, the word for believe is look what it is. This is Pistuusan Look at the bottom left hand corner. This is a present active participle again Okay, so this is entering into a state of continued belief, okay What happened I gotta put on the screen he said I would you say I Speak down South Southern Greek accent. Yep Someone actually told me the other day that that my Greek Accent when I was reading a passage was wrong. I don't know why they told me that but okay Well, you don't you don't study Greek to speak it because there's nobody around that speaks corny Greek You study it so that you can read and understand it And so I it may be that I that I may say it wrong, but oh well. I did the best I could so anyway so This word here is not believe duh. It is believing Okay, again the lower bottom left hand corner. Thank you body more appreciate it sister the lower bottom left hand corner Tells us this is a present active participle meaning that the person is entered into this state This is a continual state of believing y'all know what a participle is right a part of simple if I say run That's just a simple verb. But if I say running, that's a part of the ing stuff I'm and I'm doing this is kind of what I do now that different types of Particles I won't get in that if it's adverbial or Adjectival won't get in all that stuff for it. But this is a part of this person is running running this person's believing Believing is continual. Okay, and it's an indicative meaning that it's also a fact We ain't got a guess about this guys. This is a present active participle. It's an indicative, okay? Also acts to 44 your English version may say Acts to 44 let's put that on the screen 244 and all who believe were together and had all things in common. We're here This word believed here speaking of the believers is pistuantes. What is it? It's a present active participle plural present active participle. Okay, so now So that being said when you look at the way that the Bible in the Greek refers to believe It's referring in a in a sense of believing a Continual state of believing. I actually do have a video on just that's not even long because like about five or six minutes Okay, and I'm giving you the the understanding now. I have it pulled up I'm probably not going to go over it unless somebody wants me to cite the rule or cite one of the scholars Who talks about this particular rule and it's it's just clear. It's crystal clear There was a reason why and I was first told this before I ever thought about learning doctrine or learning Greek or anything like this I was told by One professor, but then also a pastor who told me That and he's trying to encourage me to just further my studies And this by the way, this was at a time when I did not believe that you can lose your salvation I was I mean, I believe that you could lose your salvation. I was whole heart. I was fighting it No, you guys got it wrong and I was the same passage the guys keep bringing up Is the same ones that I kept that I was bringing up I was bringing up those same passages James 5 and John 15 and so forth. So But he just said he made a statement I didn't think too much about the statement at the time but later on he made the statement He says that the reason why he wants me to learn Greek and the other languages and go on to just delve deeper And it's not thinking the way I want to think and stop sort of thinking as though I'm not the only person on the planet He made a statement and I've heard the same before that you'll find that most people not all but the overwhelming majority who Speak Greek or learn Greek the overwhelming majority believe this. Why is this? Please do not comment at me and say well the early church didn't believe this I can I can go improve you wrong if you'd like me to know the early church didn't believe that you could lose I mean believe that you could lose your salvation. No, they didn't you know why the early church believed in this Present active part of this this ongoing state of believing Okay, and they state so in their writings Now if I find four or five people that might be the dominant writer and I wouldn't base anything on that anyway Okay, I I wouldn't because they're not authoritative But the scriptures are and I can go by that I can I can read and see what the thing says Okay, so now that being said but he said that it's interesting You'll find that the overwhelming majority of people that read Greek the scholars just the regular students they hold to this belief Why because the language is like I cannot see the language I cannot see the Greek And then say no, I'm going to discount the Greek And then I had this response that well god didn't give it to me in english. I mean didn't give to me in greek gave to me in english Oh really that's your response Okay, but if I have a greek passage that tells you other than what i'm saying then then okay Then the greek is fine So anyway, so The reason why I said that question earlier is because if you believe that a person if they continually believe that they won't lose their salvation Um, then you believe in one saved always saved because that's what a christian is now I want to go over some of the passages That people bring up and then I'll get to some of your questions One passage that I've heard brought up Is Hebrews 3 So let's go to Hebrews 3 if you don't mind Do I have I have it put up there? I do I do I have it saved Okay, I'm trying to be more prepared when I come with you guys So Hebrews 3 and let's see All right, I'm I'm seeing some of the questions as I go not all of them. Uh, and if I see them, I'm gonna try to highlight them All right, hold up. Hold up. Hold up before I get to it. I want to address it before I get to it Myle man says greek is not a holy tongue kory neither is english You're absolutely right greek is not a holy tongue. Is there a such thing? Because first of all my man english is not a holy tongue either however however god Knows what he's doing Would you agree sir? Would you all agree that god knows what he's doing? Would you all agree that god just doesn't do anything haphazardly? And that god is sovereign god is in control some kind of way god Had it to where the people who spoke english wrote this down In greek I'm not talking was the people who spoke at that time who live at that time In jesus day, they spoke greek. Someone said well, no, they they didn't speak greek. They spoke they spoke aramaic Okay, fine find me find me find any anyone on the planet go and find early manuscripts that were in aramaic The pochetta, which is the the aramaic Um manuscripts the aramaic new testament Uh, I think it's fourth fifth century. So we've got three centuries ahead of that of just greek manuscripts We don't have the theory was that That they spoke either aramaic or hebrew and that's what they were originally written in which didn't make sense How do these people who aren't who made it these weren't college students these weren't seminarians They spoke in hebrew or spoken aramaic and then wrote it down in greek No, they they wrote it in greek because originally when the greeks conquered the world Then after uh, the rome rome took over they still spoke greek greek was the lingua franca And so people in that time for the most part some did speak aramaic some did speak hebrew some did speak latin most most people in rome Um, most people in roman provinces. I'm sorry. Did not speak latin. They spoke greek and then other different Um, uh, dialects and languages as well. And so why would god and his sovereignty even allow for greek Uh for the pastor to be written in greek That's what we have it in that's what we have the pastors in we have them in greek So no, it's not a holy tongue, but it but it's how a holy god sovereignly gave it to us And men who decided to take upon the undertaking of learning greek decided to translate it into english french spanish whatever other language Okay, so now that being said uh mal man. Let me get back to my passage my brother chapter three of hebrus Don't want to read the whole thing because they're only talking let me just go to the verse they're talking about which is verse 12 Take care brothers, lest there be In any of you an evil unbelieving heart Leading you to fall away from the living god uh, oh uh, oh This looks like this looks like this passage Looks like there's a possibility Of you losing i mean it's what it looks like Because he says let's put it back on the screen Matter of fact doggone. I did not even put my greek up. I gotta put my greek up there I don't even think i'm gonna use the greek on this passage. I don't think I need to matter of fact I'm not going to use it but i'm gonna put it back on here so you guys can see says Take care brothers now. Here's the question And let me do this. Let me go ahead and put me on the screen So that way I don't have to come off the screen. I can just go ahead and just talk with you here Um and address you If I can find my camera. There's my camera. No, it's not that camera There it is so If anyone were to tell you that the brothers here in verse 12 Aren't really christians. They're wrong. These are actual christians.  You see the root pistas or pistias Then i which is not an unbelieving heart in any of you And then here's that word um Epistani, which is to fall away Uh where we get the word apostasy If there's any of you who have this unbelieving heart that leading you to fall away from the living god That seems like it's probably talking about somebody being saved because we're talking about save people save jews Then it seems like they can lose their salvation Okay, now Is that what he's talking about Well, remember guys, let me go to the big screen Remember what the whole book is about Because we said we want to keep these things in contact um Okay, i don't know who uh, i'm not sure who is sort is talking about so i don't know he's uh We're going to keep this in context. So the context of of um, hebrews is what who is the book of hebrews being written to The book of hebrews is uh eastward just calm down brother calm down calm down eastward I don't know whatever's happened, but it ain't it ain't it ain't worth it. It ain't worth it If there's one thing we learn from the whole will smith chris rock thing is it ain't worth it It ain't worth it. Just calm down brother. Take it take a deep breath. Okay um Now the context of hebrews as well. Why was the book of hebrews written in the first place? Well, it's written to jews who are now believers The jews and you're gonna see this these words these this imagery all brought up in the book of hebrews He's speaking to them about the day of atonement about high priests things that jews would understand not gentiles jews And the book of hebrews is written as a book of comfort to say guys you got this. This is done there's a reason why he came so What was the purpose of the book of hebrews and who was it written to? Well to comfort them to who these jews so now You need to understand the importance of a couple of things The elements and the result of the old testament atonement because that's what the book of hebrews is talking about You cannot fully understand hebrews the book of hebrews until you get a a decent understanding of the old testament law Specifically the day of atonement specifically leviticus Because he piggybacks off of leviticus in the book of hebrews. Okay All right, you all with me Does anybody I want to make sure does anyone disagree with what with what I just said about the book of hebrews That it who it was written to and what these jews understood the jews understood What was in play with the day of atonement what was involved? Okay, so now They understood one the importance They understood the elements and they understood the result of the atonement You say that again the jews understood the importance They understood the elements and the result of the day of atonement of the atonement period Okay Now what do I mean by the importance? The importance is that there's this covering Canceling and reconciliation there there's a covering canceling in order to bring about a reconciliation What do I mean by the covering? Well that gets into the elements and so I'll hold off on that for just a second But the elements they understood the elements and why the elements were necessary The elements when we go back to leviticus particularly 16 when we go back and look at what's happening there We see that there is a scapegoat What was the scapegoat to do? What's the importance of the scapegoat? Why do we have a scapegoat? Well the scapegoat is All the sins of the people are confessed on the head of the goat And sent out that lamb covers takes all the sins confessed on his head and sent away Okay, then you've got the Uh the sacrificial offering the sacrificial lamb That that rolled with what the sacrificial lamb does is to pay the sin debt the debt Oh makes propitiation the blood Okay, and what does the priest do the priest mediates and makes reconciliation brings the two parties together Okay, so we become or they become clean before the lord justify before the lord and now they can come together Why is that important and why is that even being brought up here? Because the writer of Hebrew is going to say guys, I know what you're feeling But what's going to happen is that Jesus is going to fulfill all of those roles He's going to fulfill the role of the scapegoat Remember what John said look the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world So all the sins are going to come upon him. He who knows him became sin So all of our sins are pronounced upon him and he takes him away Okay I'll answer that question too Then he plays a part of the sacrificial offering. Obviously, we know that part We know the part about the sacrificial offering because he says his blood for us Okay, there's that remission of sin on his part And then he plays a part of this of the priest in this case a better priest Who did not have to have his sins atoned for who mediates between us and God he is God and so He can take the the golly perspective to us and the human perspective because he's also man to God He plays both sides basically All right, so now they understood that they also understood the result I said they understood the importance the elements and they understood the results The result was this Sin is atoned for under the old covenant under the day of atonement under the law There is remission of sin They are they stand justified until one year until time for another sacrifice Okay They stand Justified until the time for another sacrifice Guys, that is so important. That is so important because I want you to get the understanding of what is happening here when we when we read Ephesians we read Hebrews 3 so let's go back to the passage and let's look at it again Take care brothers Let there be in any of you an evil unbelieving heart Well, if you do not believe what happened in terms of what Jesus did as in terms of him being the ultimate sacrifice In terms of him playing all three roles You have an evil unbelieving heart and you are falling away from the living God Now they never have a living God We think sometimes because we hear the term falling away that they must have been with them Or to depart means that I was inside. I can go to someone's house. Knock on the door and depart never having gone inside Okay, I can fall directionally away from something never having been in it on it or part of it. Okay, so We don't use that word the same way we use it here. Some of you guys think that that fall away or depart You use it differently than use it any other time Because in English we can use depart or fall away A lot of different ways a lot of different ways and so that being said Um, if you've got this heart this this this heart that doesn't believe You don't believe which is what the greek word says there. Um, I pissed the eyes, which is I don't believe you don't believe Well, then you are moving away from this truth That christ has bought for you Think about having something bought and paid for and you don't and you don't accept it Bought for you is there for you and you don't take it Well, it's not on him. It's on you and so here's the same thing He's saying take take he that you don't have this evil unbelieving heart And that you fall away from the living god Here I am. I'm trying to redeem you guys And if you believe and this is what he says in chapter 10 If you don't believe in the sufficiency of this blood and what have you done You have trampled underfoot the blood of christ Okay, so now that's my take on heatroof 3 and I probably do a separate video just to cover just that even more so All right. Heck, I might just clip this part and make the video. I don't know so Uh, do I want to cover any of the any of the questions that I had previously previously done? Uh, I'll come back to them. Let me go ahead and look at some of the some of the other questions Let's see. Uh, let's see King rod says, what do you think about revelation? 2 1 through 7 I got to read 7 verses Where is it? Do I have revelation already? I don't have revelation already pulled up. Okay I'll just take right here revelation Oh, by the way, before I get to that before I get to that I want to cover something and also I think goes with this whole issue of salvation People are having a hard time and I said you would I said some people have a hard time When it comes to this issue of the new covenant And I I'm going to give you a an an actress a true story Matter of fact, it's a true story that's been lived out in a lot of people's lives But um for you it'd be an analogy for some to be a true story There is a man a family who has a son one son They have made an agreement with this son Because dad I want to go to college Well son if you get good grades and you do this and you do that then I promise I will pay for your college. I'll put it as long as you do your part. I'll pay for your college Okay, cool The son does not the son Has had some issues The father says I tell you what I still want I still want you to go to college I want to make a second promise one that Covers the old promise. I'm gonna make a new promise with you Just graduate. I'll get you there. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go ahead and pay for your college now in between that time He and his wife decided to adopt a son Who happens to be the same age as his other son? They decided though even before they adopted this child that they are going to pay for his car They're gonna put money aside for his retirement for his good family now not like mine But they're gonna put aside money for his college They didn't tell him you got to get good grades. You got to do this. No, we're gonna put aside money for your college Both the kids graduate The the first kid He gets to go to college based on the second promise The first kid I mean the the second kid goes to college also based awful promise another promise a different promise He didn't even know about the promise. He wasn't even part of the family before the promise But the promise was made so they both get there off of the same off of two different promises But the same bank account. Are you with me? So that is what i'm talking about when i'm talking about the new covenant Not being for us. It's for israel But us gentiles are brought in under a different covenant under the abrahamic covenant when you go to glacial three paul talks about this about this and and how we are brought in as he says to abraham and also jaco That through you all the nations will be blessed and that's what paul brings up And so that has also to do with salvation god has made these promises That he's going to do these very things and so if god has promised before time that he's going to bring us to salvation How does that happen? He he's intimately involved Okay, and if he's involved if he if he's involved then you can take it to the bank It's going to happen. Anyway, let me put this this question up Um, oh revelations revelation to one through seven. Let's go there To the angel the church of ethos is right the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand who walks Among the seven golden lamb stands I know your works your toll and your patient endurance And how you cannot bear with those who are evil But you have test but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not and found them to be false I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake And you have not grown weary, but I have this against you That you have abandoned the love you had at first remember therefore from where you have fallen repent and do The works you did at first if not, I will come to you and remove your lamb stand from its place unless you repent yet this this you have You hate the works. Okay, so now that's pretty much what you were trying to get at because Two two statements that are falling there Remember therefore from where you have fallen repent now It's not time I'm falling from grace because he says he says you've been enduring patiently Okay, but he says if you do not change, but if you don't repent I will come and remove your lamb stand. Well, the lamb stand is just it's their church Okay, it's not their salvation and he tells what the lamb stands are the lamb stands is just a church Okay, uh, you you will cease to be a church any longer Uh, let's see. Okay. Wait a super big old screen so I can read these Is salvation even mine to lose uh, anyways, no, it's not Uh, but again, we look at things from our own perspective, uh, as though It's all about us and it's not remember Um, we're we're really along for the ride. I told you guys and we looked at it in in john six that All of us who are saved who are believers those who are believers were given To the son by the father that was the gift And so no, it's not yours to lose is his to keep And he's gonna keep him. He says all that you all the ones you've given me Every single person that's a believer you're part of the all if you are truly a believer You are part of the all And he says he will raise all of us all y'all up every last one of y'all won't lose Nair one nary one. How do you want to put it? Not a one? Okay, that's what he says. So whose responsibility is to keep us? Jesus Uh, let's see He says my question is Can a christian be sinless? No Not on this side Not on this side. He can't we just If we say we do that we are a lie. Can you give back your salvation?  You are brand new and so what's working in you Uh, it's not it's not gonna happen. Again, I believe the holy spirit Will do just what he says and he is what the holy spirit is is a down payment You all know what a down payment is and that's why um, the english writer's put it that way He's a down payment. He's a guarantor He is is when you guys go in and you get an apartment or something like that And you put a down payment down and then once that's a guarantee That's a you may put a payment down on a hotel room You put that down to ensure that this room is going to be there for you The holy spirit is a down payment until we see Until we finally fully realize where we're going to be Okay Let's see. Let me go back to the to the big screen Now as I was doing I'm pretty sure some questions have passed and so guys make sure you put a queue Or question in front so I can see um I think so it does Okay Matter of fact, let me type in I remember. Hold on. What's the name josh? Let me type in josh. See what hit some of his he had a bunch of questions that he was throwing up there All right. He says uh luke 15 24 Okay So he wants to let's look at josh This is you buddy luke 15 24. All right, let's go to the screen josh says thanks. You're welcome For this my son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found and they began to celebrate And so what we do sometimes some folks will take it that this is Um, someone who was saved and now no longer safe. Who is he talking to? He's talking to jews, right? Again That's the kind of saying who the audience he's talked to is jews.  Yes, they were Are they found? Yes, they are do they ever have salvation before jesus? No, they did not Do they have salvation after jesus? Those who believe do and so you you don't take this passage So this was a person who was um now you gotta remember understand the difference between Us regular folk and the jewish folk who are believers Okay, um, he's always had this plan for them. He's always had a desire for the nation of israel Not all of israel will be saved that much is known as clear Not all of israel is going to be saved Okay, but the nation as a whole and we read that the other day When we talked about in what was that passage? Jeremiah 31 36 where he says that nothing will stop israel to cease to be a nation Okay, josh says nope. I don't care that you says nope. I just explained it to you. Uh the way I see it He says for my for this my son was dead now You're gonna say that because he was dead. I mean or because he says son Okay, well he okay, so he calls the children of israel Okay, are all of the children his children? No Don't take the verbiage and and run too far with it where it doesn't permit you to This my son was dead And is alive again He was lost and is found and they began to celebrate now. He's trying to make a point The point that he's trying to make is that he will go after his children Okay, um, you tell me by the way how salvation they even understand what salvation is as he's telling the story In luke 15 do the jews even understand the salvation that jesus is offering that do they understand as a matter of fact No, but as a matter of fact not even the His followers are fully understanding it and so That's a whole another question. Okay. So, yeah, the other son was mad. Okay, and I say that that that the boy didn't have salvation. This is not this is not Prove it wrong Okay, that was the prodigal son Uh aj that was somebody that's uh passes about the prodigal son. That was a prodigal son. As a matter of fact, I tell you what I do Um josh and aj and anyone else I'll just I'll I'll do a video on it I don't because I said I wouldn't do it anyway. I want to make a video over all of these Jeremiah He said read Jeremiah 3 14 melma Okay, now you said um earlier that uh Would you say earlier that um Greek was not the holy language Can I read in Hebrew? Jeremiah 3 he's 14 Okay, let's go to he says Good passage by the way return Old faithless children declares the lord for I am your master I will take you one from a city And two from a family and I will bring you to Zion Now I'm trying to figure out your point Uh that you're making here, but let me ask you this talk on it Uh-oh, wait a second. Okay. I want to put this passage next. Let's read this passage guys This is God speaking about Israel I will give them one heart In one way If they may fear me forever for their own good And the good of their children after them. I'm sorry. I'm gonna treat 37 I'm sorry 37. Behold. I will gather them uh From all the countries to which I drove them in my anger And my wrath and my great indignation remember now he's speaking about them After their sin and what he will do to them because of their sin But now he's bringing them back He says I will bring them back to this place and I will make them dwell in safety and they shall be my people I'm sorry, and they should be my people and I will be their god I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me forever for their own good and the good of their father Uh children after them. I will make I will make listen to this. I will make with them an everlasting covenant What's that covenant guys? What's this covenant? This is a new covenant They do and make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from doing good to them And I will put the fear of me in their hearts That they may not turn from me Okay, so now what's going to happen? He's going to put in them something To where they will not turn away from them well Can I get some help on the floor? Matter of fact, no, I don't want to help on the floor. I want mal man You tell me What does he put in them to cause them to never turn away from him? I'd like to know can you tell me what he puts in them to where they won't turn away from him? Hmm. I think it's called Holy Spirit That's me. I believe he and we know that because he tells us in other passages in the Old Testament What he's going to do he's going to put his spirit in them and they shall walk And never leave they will always remember to keep his his teachings. Okay, so Let me see if he if he puts up enough. He didn't okay Get in truth. I just did I I literally just I don't you may have just come in but I just I just did Okay He says uh that that passage was about backsliding your referees differently. Okay. Well, I'll tell you what I do I'll go back to that passage and I'll put up in the king james version 314 and so what will I do? I'll put this up and I'll also add the Where's that king james version I'm I'm going to assume that you'll be okay with the uh, if I can find it I'm gonna assume that you'll be okay with the king james version If I can find it, I know it's on here. I just get there it is Okay, cool Turn back old backsliding children Sayeth the Lord for I am married to you And I will take you One of a city and two. I mean so you wanted to key in on backsliding I think we we talked about that earlier. You're right. Uh, and so, okay, so they're backsliding. They're faithless Okay, this word here Um, Shabbat, which is uh Apostate an apostate guys is someone who intentionally moves away you withdraw on you do it on your own You intend you intend to do so which says something about your heart. Okay, and so Um, he tells them to turn back. They don't obviously don't they never will on their own They which brings us to something guys these people never will own their own And so what does god do? Uh to israel who never will turn back on their own just like us. We never will turn back on on our own So what does he do? Um Here comes the holy spirit here comes this Thing that's going to happen to our heart Okay, uh, and our heart gets regenerated Okay, uh john three and titus speak about this. Okay, and what happens is Uh, what happens is i'm gonna i gotta bring someone up to to address something what happens once that happens Uh, then you make the decision to come to him now. I want to I want to uh, romeo mk Uh, avoid one save always save the algae it can and will take you to hail. How so How how explain me brother? I'm gonna look for your your, uh Your comment specifically Not that I won't look for anyone else's but I want to see I want to see you give me an answer that How can believing in one save always save lead you to hell? Tell me I That's one of the comments the comments that I keep hearing. I really want to know how you guys come to this conclusion I really want to know how it's a doctrine of the devil.  I will for some people at some times, but no um And that comment is kind of a kind of inflammatory That it will take you to heal you got it. You got it I'm not sure that that that the statement that you made my brother is as well thought out Not that you're not a thoughtful person, but You're gonna have to show me how that takes someone to heal by believing that what christ did was sufficient Okay, you that's what you have to do Okay So I'll wait for you to respond to me.  Let's say robert. Let's say you're in your 30s. I'm on it's own. You're probably your 30s and you live to be 100 years old And so let's say you've been a believer for 70 80 years When you die, you'll still have sin that you deal with right? And it won't be a brand new sin It won't be a brand new 100 year old sin It'll be a sin that you've been dealing with that you've had struggles with for some time Maybe not every year, but it may rear as ugly head every now and then. Okay Which by the way means that repentance does not mean that you turn away from all sin Repentance means that you have you turn away from how you view sin Your heart your mind is just bothered by it. Okay, and so if it's a nagging sin, it's gonna bother you and granted That's what sins should do. It's what it's what it did with paul paul Understood this and said that that that this this thing that in here it bothers him it grieves him And there are these there's a war there's these two laws these two rules in him And it's a bothersome thing But it's something we're gonna deal with now. We don't let it master us.  Okay, perfect person How long did it take you to become perfect and no one can answer the question? so Let's see Odell says Uh-oh, I didn't push it So if salvation means saving us from sin wouldn't salvation come when christ returns We still have the ability to sin right? Well, no, no, no, no, okay. That's what you're saying No salvation has never meant to mean to save us from sin from doing it salvation means to save us from the penalty of sin Okay, the penalty of sin the penalty of sin is this Eternal separation And so while they were bringing these offerings and while there's this day of atonement and while there's this brand new atonement this greater atonement It is to go ahead and eventually deal with the penalty of sin Okay, the penalty of sin causes that means that we necessarily have to go because what we say from We're saved from not sinning. We're saved from the the stain the punishment of sin We're saved from hell That's what we're saved from and so being a believer having your sins atone for being Justified to be in right standing means you don't have to go Away from God because you're in right standing. And so eventually you can be before him Okay, uh, what was my man at who said that this was a doctrine that that sends you to hell You know, I I really I really can someone get somebody on the phone to tell me How if you don't believe in one saved always say if can you can you get somebody to tell me How this sends you to hell? as a matter of fact, let me I want Camp on something max is saying right here. Y'all do know what this word justification means, right? y'all You do know what justification means, right?  And you guys are gonna hear more and more of it over the coming weeks because it's Typically brought up a lot around Easter Okay, uh justification is is is cousins with to tell us died with it is finished It has a lot of connotations with it the word to tell us died and it's used a lot different ways But always means that there's nothing else left to do It's finished The final bed is kind of like when you buy your house When you buy your house or you buy that car the last payment is yours Is your you bought that car is yours now. There's some upkeep that still goes along with it. Well, sure But it's yours. You made the final payment And so in this regard He used his term to say guys is paid for bam nothing else left The father's not going to come back to Jesus and say the father won't go to son. You know what jesus on second thought Your blood your payment wasn't wasn't enough get back on the cross again No And so because of that if we are if we have trusted in what he's done and placed our faith in him The bible says that we are justified Romans day says who can separate us is he who justifies us So who's going to condemn us? The point is there's no one left to condemn us if he has justified us Are you with me? So if we no longer condemn and we stand and we stand justified justified means to be declared right and treated as such We are declared right. We are in right standing If we have been declared right and this is why I say guys it's just A misunderstanding of what the atonement is Okay All right, hold up. Hold up. I see The the atonement means That i'm now in a position to be in right standing and nothing Until unless there's another sacrifice left to be paid We'll separate that we'll stop that will cause me to be not in right standing Remember The jews had a problem that they had to do it every year But in between the that the time they did it in the next time they're in right standing with the lord So no one can come and hold them guilty of anything God had said this is the debt that's that's that's that's required to be paid is paid And so God won't come back and say uh, no second thought or he won't come back and say, you know what? Since I paid that debt, uh, you've been doing some awful sinning. No, you are in right standing That's that's how the jews understood this and this is how how the writer of Hebrews is telling It to the jews and this is why he makes a statement in chapter 6 that okay fine If you think you can lose it then guess what it's impossible for you to be restored Since you would cause him to be um Put on the cross again to be crucified all over again So now Romeo says It can be very misunderstood. We are called to obey Christ's commandments. You're right. I said that you did okay Maybe you didn't come earlier All Christians will obey if you're not obeying if you're not believing if you're not walking you're not a Christian That's what it means to be a Christian Christians obey Christians and And some guys had a problem with me using Jesus Jesus's words in John 10 when he described what sheep do he says sheep follow sheep here She will not hear someone else and they won't follow a stranger. That's what he says Okay, uh, thank you my sister Trina That's what he says And these are Jesus's words Jesus could have said Jesus could have said my sheep follow and if they don't But he doesn't Jesus doesn't put a condition in there But other folks will come back and put a condition and they'll say that i'm twisting the scriptures No, i'm saying exactly what he says Drew i'm not really i'm not sure if i'm getting your um Is the separation of flesh and spirit biblical meaning Can you increase in the sin the flesh? But also in the fruits of the spirit I think i understand what you're saying. Can a person be saved? um Grow in the spirit, but then also their sins increase.  Can we cut it down? Can we just can we just let's wean you off of sin maybe down 11 a day? You know for four weeks or so then let's get down You should not be sinning more now than you did then Okay, now there are a lot of people and y'all know this how it is the world There are a lot of people and here is the problem guys.  Did you did you text me or send me your number? Devonte? Listen guys, you know, you gotta If you let me I'll get busy and forget so romell devonte Devonte send me your number if you have already Then send in bigger a bigger email so I can read it because It might just be me but romell you should have called me you supposed to email me call me text me whatever I told you to do but anyway Christians Something happens in this guys And if it ain't working in us If the holy spirit is not working in us is because he ain't in us Take that and put it on t-shirt. Okay, if the holy spirit is not working in us is because he ain't in us If the holy spirit isn't in us, he's not always in it's okay, uh, joe and lope I just just listen sweetheart just just tell us what you mean Tell them what you mean. Okay There's a reason why you have the holy spirit. There's a reason why he's in you if you are believer and so We've got these passages Where we're called to test our fruit to see if we are in him paul says examine yourself And one of the ways you can do so is not I'm not walking with the lord. I now I can't tell Maybe the next person can't tell if you're walking, but you can tell by yourself, you know, you know good and well what you do You know that man. Yeah, I listen I I watch more porn. I've ever watched before I do more cussing. I've ever done before I do more lying than other I've cussed out folks at a record pace now But I'm saved So what has happened guys and something's in my eye what has happened Is that we have began and this is unfortunate? This is probably why folks don't believe in ones. They've always saved. This is probably why Because we began judging christianity based off the people that call themselves christians who are not christian Do you what I just said we judge christianity based off the people who call themselves christians and are not christians okay, so Because we know good and well that let's say beyond say calls herself a christian We know good and well. She's not a christian. Oprah calls herself a christian We know good and well. She's not a christian by the way that I'm saying it because I'm there's a video I'm working on They were working on putting together About beyond say christianity so But anyway, you got all these people you got a cousin You got a family and you got a friend who calls themselves a christian and you know, they're not a christian They just said it And so we judge christianity off of them Well, I didn't suppose suppose suppose I judged all women off of these men Who are transgendered and call themselves women?  No cord because they're not real women. You're right. They're not real christians So because someone calls themselves a believer and they act Uh inappropriately does not mean that that has uh defiled or has tarnished what the word says Real christians abide real christians walk in the lord real christians will never depart Ever ever ever ever ever that's why that's why guys you never see one do such But the bible says if they do this then he'll blot them out. Does he does the bible ever blot anybody's name out? Does he ever blot anybody's name out? I told you guys about one of the greatest contradictions I've ever heard. It's just it's just it's just a glaring And some of my critics they use this contradiction all the time They'll say that god can blot your name out God can blot your name out Um, and then when they say when we talk about predestination, they say that god think about this now follow me follow me That god looks throughout time Oh romeo Thank you, brother. God bless you. You just messed up what I was saying Excuse me. Thank you I You didn't mess me up. Uh, gary a two eight. What's going on, brother? I'm trying to gather myself. Uh, it remels killing me. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I pretty much am lost without my drink my whole training thought. Uh, thank you romeo Uh, what was I saying guys? Oh lord somebody help me out. I don't I don't I I Anyway Um, what was I saying dog on it? You oh, thank you. Thank you paul. Bless you I was talking about this wonderfully glorious contradiction About when people say your name can be blotted out Okay And they also bring up predestination and they get their explanation of predestination now follow me guys You got to follow me When we talk about the names being blotted out We're talking about people whose names and they all agree that their names were written when long time ago So god wrote their names in And if they mess up he blots their names out Though there's not one example of anyone blotting getting the name blotted out Yeah, but he threatened to does anyone's name get blotted out. Well, what about ezekiel? What about uh exodus? What about not is he good? I mean um psalms. What about exodus? Well, that's not talking about the book of life, but let's say it was talking about the book of life and moses is saying blot me out or Um, david is saying blot my enemies out Does god do it in either case he doesn't do it in either case So there's no example of anyone having their name blotted out, but you say they can okay fine Let's say you're right. They can't have their names blotted out. Okay But then you explain what predestination is that god looks throughout time And sees he foreknows who is going to come to him.   Uh, I have been in gary a couple times the last few times. I just either I try to go around or go through when you go to It used to be they used to kind of just kind of Have you go to gary to get to chicago now? You don't have to but anyway Uh, he says the god is not omniscient. Okay. I don't know where you're getting that revealing truth But okay if you say so Now my question guys, and this is what I want you guys to do Okay, don says hook. You know what no problem don. I can go and address as he says Three ads to start here to make money. No, uh, but don here's a here's the thing. No What happens if you don't know this side the sidebar? I heard someone talk about this the other day What happens if uh, there are no christian channels Uh that are monetized What happens now I used to run an investment banking business. I was A managing principal And so I I had A few offices and I had Several financial advisors and we dealt with insurance. We even doubt mortgages mortgages division, but we dealt with mainly investments Underwriting bringing things to uh bringing things public also doing wealth management and so forth. So I know a thing or two about business Let me ask you a question my friend YouTube is a business is it not Uh don it's a business is it not If christian channels don't have ads playing do you think youtube is going to run is going to promote those channels? They're not They're not by the way Do you know who the determining factor for an ad that you see? so Don't telling yourself and say, uh, I got when I came here. There was a rate at our ad playing Well, that's because youtube google and every other platform that you go online Has that information coming back Don't think so. I tell you what go to facebook and look up wayfair and look for a desk And then you'll wonder why there's commercials or there's ads for desks on youtube for you Okay, so anyway, uh by the way, what youtube will do is what they used to do is and that is they will Go ahead and play ads on it anyway Because when you read you'll find that they have the right to play ads On yourself, okay so If you don't want to watch an ad I don't know to tell you they're this challenge monetize Not not violate anyone had not had not compromised when I older and so Sorry my friend, but you know you made that a point. So I wanted I wanted to address that point so Let's see Hey, my sister. How you are you doing tanya? I saw So anyway to me to me. I think that is a clear cut contradiction. Okay So Someone wanted to be uh extra extra extra extra extra holy with me today. I mean just just I've made a comment on something And I'm I'm thinking about how God looks at this and they said well, you shouldn't address it anywhere.  I mean non Christians non Christians don't come to church or come to christ Because we got all this sin non crit. No, that's not why that's not why at all That's one of the excuses that they use they'll find already made excuse Chris non Christians don't come to christ because they don't want to that's why Before uh, there was youtube before there was the internet before there was united states of america Why were people still not coming to christ because they don't want to so anyway We had this tendency to be overly overly overly holy not really but uh in that We can't address Certain things. Why are you late carlos?  Did y'all know i'm off topic now I'm because I thought about gas I don't do a whole lot of riding around but when I do oh my lord, and i'm pumping gas um Yeah, yeah, check out uh, uh latinians channel y'all cure cure for this. So make sure you go check her channel out Uh, she is here in dallas and she is a midwestern like myself Who found themselves down here So anyway, uh but I was pumping gas. I was with my daughter actually And i'm i'm daddy and so and I think she knows that she knows daddy's gonna pay for gas So she's getting her purse out. I got it, baby.  It is bad out there. Wow So Anyway, vans johnson says are you the football player vans johnson? That's what I want to know Are you the football player because I think is that a Like some football helmets back there. Are you let I need to know I need to know are you the football player vans johnson? He's played with the denver uh broncos anyway Even demons believe but it's a different type of belief. It's a different type of testosterone. So we covered this earlier about how Um, it is the active the present active participle or the active Meaning that they are have entered into a state of continual believing Demons haven't done that you can you can believe something But you haven't believed it right um Think about this for a second. I believe that if my daddy caught me doing something I'm gonna get in trouble I didn't believe it enough to not do it though. I didn't believe I believe that I could probably get away from it Right or I can say I know I know if I do something to get in trouble But I do it. I believe it, but I didn't believe I believe it here, but not here Okay Simon Peters is all that yeah All that I wish I I got to fix this thing. We're showing these little small texts on here But he says all that the father give me Will come to me and the one who comes to me. I will certainly I don't know why that's not a problem Why that's an issue guys Simon that's a perfect point I don't I don't know why and people don't like to bring up that point and they'll say well What about this and what about that somebody asked about the software a cordon software That's how that's who I ought to get a deal with people asking about a cordon all the time, but Uh A pilgrim send me an email Send me an email young brother Oh, and Pratt. I saw your email by the way. I'm I'm gonna get to it I'm gonna get to it. I can't shame on me. I'm gonna get to it though Okay you said, uh Can you cover the discussion surrounding whether or not you you we go straight to heaven After our bodily death versus being in a state of sleep until christ was turned. Okay Paul said Paul said The writer says it's appointed matter of fact. What does it say? Uh It is appointed one Untamed once to die in the judgment Um, Paul said to be asked from the body to be present with the lord now We are in and here's the words and folk won't like this, but it's a different dispensation. Remember what happens Jesus makes a statement to nick of demas He says Dog on advance. I want to know are you the van's johnson football player? I'm looking for that But he says That no one has ascended Except he who has ascended in other words at the time that jesus is making this statement in john three Nobody has gone to heaven not even e not not even elisha They were taken up into the sky into the heavens, but not to the heaven. Okay, so jesus makes this statement He's like, oh, so no one's gone to heaven However, something happens. They are in this they are waiting For what for who for christ? because Their sin debt was paid, but they had no access to to to the heavenly father The first born the first one to rise to go there will be jesus. He will lead them up.  Did he so we'll get guess where paradise was not paradise was not in heaven That's my taker. Okay. Uh, and so I don't believe that jesus will uh went to heaven yet Uh, and then when he comes back When he's when he raised when he's raised when he's raised when he's risen And he sees mary. What does he tell mary when she grabs him let go of me because I have not yet I sit into my father yet. Okay, so he hasn't gone up yet Now what happens now though after that takes place and he has ascended now everybody when they die they go They go okay, so I believe that's me I believe that um once a person dies and that's this whole issue about this issue about soul sleep and so forth um But no matter if I got to you what I tell you what I tell you what um Send me an email That's a good video to do that is a good video a lot of times guys. I'm sitting here. Just just just chill I'm taking care of other things and I might just fire this thing up I might just fire this thing up Um, I am I am actually catching up on some things and so I might just fire it up And then bam, I'm good Um, I'll make a video so send that's that is a good that is a good one. Thank you. Um, thank you brother Adrian, I appreciate that. Um Matter of fact Matter of fact I saw your name matter of fact. I'm doing this right now Adrian Um, I think let me make sure this is do this live Let me do this live No, okay. No, that's not you. Okay. Someone else. Okay. Sorry. I had you confused with someone else All right. I was gonna take care of something that someone else wanted me to do but I wasn't sure who it was Uh, let's see So this is what I want to do guys now I'm going to put out on the community page You can do it on this video also But I'm going to put out on the community page if you have any questions To refute eternal security or one saved always say whatever the the um Whatever the passage is If it's james five whatever it is Every and I I I'm putting myself out there guys But every passage that you can think of to refute One saved always say I will do a video for it Okay. Now some videos might be more Uh lengthier some may be shorter some may be longer. Okay, some I don't think require a lot some You know, I may need to delve into All right, so I'll do that I don't know how many videos that's going to be but it's going to be my promise to cover every video I mean every passage that someone believes Uh states that you can do salvation That's what I'm doing. I won't Cause what looks like it's a b for me Being condescending or me insulting if it looks like that I don't want to do that. Okay That's not who I asked because first of all, I know this that one if you give everybody an opportunity To make a comment about you they will And that's never really moved me anyway. It really doesn't I mean I saw one video where the guy Who I thought was okay. I know we differed but all kind of names satan and this isn't All right, I'll listen. I'll be your satan. I'll be whatever probably whatever you want I'll be all that stuff. That's that's that's cool. But it's my fault But it's my fault for even If someone treats you a certain way or looks at you a certain way oftentimes it's you and not so much them. So Okay, hold on. I think biblically you say Warns those who stand by faith that they too can be cut off. All right. Tell me what I'll do. Let's look at that real quick Romans 11 19 That might either be the last or the second the last question romans Oh, I know this is I know this is this is the uh Matter of fact, I think we covered this the other day Yeah, this is about Being cut off About being grafted and so forth Vance johnson. I need to know brother. Are you the vance johnson football player? It's just yes or no I'm trying to I'm trying to figure out something um If you are you were number I think where was the 82? I was big. I was I was cheering for the Bronx at that time. Anyway So let's put on the screen Then you will say branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in that is true They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith So do not become proud but fear for if god did not spare the natural branches neither will he spare you Note then the kindness and severity of god if severity towards those who have fallen But god's kindness towards I mean to you Provided you continue in his kindness.  What is he comparing them? They were cut off wide because they're unbelief now Here's the point that he's making you guys and use the word arrogant leave you guys are arrogant You think that it's something special about you Which indicates that you don't believe you're more into you than you are into him This is my take you all think that you can disagree But this contradicts what he stated previously in chapters eight and nine so now And he's also talking about in this whole context of being chosen And elected by the way, I should have said this too as well Guys, I think biblically does have a youtube channel y'all make sure y'all go and and uh And check him out. I think you are where are you by the way? Um, are you in england? Are you worried? Where are you? um Anyway, but but uh, and so they're grafted in But if you are the type of person who now again The bible is full of warning passages Not warning because you are going to just one just just once as you can see that you can test Make sure that you are who you say you are right? If you do not remain then what were you you're not a believer we we covered earlier My brother we covered earlier How the greek lets us know that all christians are believing All christians continue believing those who don't continue to believe they're not christians all christians abide all christians remain Those who do not are not christian And that's why and the greek is clear that those who are believing They are in a continual state of believing entered in once which is why jesus makes a statement that if you do If you are believing then you at that very moment have life going on forever Well, that cannot mean that a person if they have life going on forever That they'll one day not have life because he tells him you for you right now are living forever You'll never stop living according to john 6 8 i mean 647 You will never stop living i'm giving the the the rough and the accurate translation of that john 647 passage Okay, uh, he says high pistol on the believing ones ecke Zoë i only on which is you are now living you have Life living into the ages into eternity Okay, so didn't come back and say that well, but if you stop believing you don't have life Well, why would you tell me I have life? I'm now living into the ages Well, that that that would be contradictory then jesus Why don't you say so and because he understands and the writing the rendering is that if you are If you are a believe that's why it's a question guys earlier Someone who is believing Can never lose their salvation if you continue to believe you never lose your salvation?  Well, um Matter of fact Let me read the whole matter. Let me just read the whole thing again. I think i'm keeping it in context Now I am speaking to you gentiles in as much as as I am an apostle to the gentiles I magnified my ministry in order somehow to make my fellow jews jealous And thus save some of them for if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world now their rejection they have Literally says it let they have he stated that they have rejected So now they weren't necessarily believers were they and that's the problem that the god has had with the jews in order Somehow to make my fellow jews jealous and thus save some of them save some of them for if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world What will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? If the if the doe offered as first fruits is holy So is the whole lump and if the root is holy, so are the wrenches But if some of the wrenches were broken off and you although a wild olive shoot were grafted in among the others And now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree do not be arrogant arrogant toward the branches If you are remember It is not you who support the root, but the root supports you now. He's speaking obviously of israel and the jews Then you will say branches were broken off so that I might be graphing in now This is done so arrogantly think look at what he's saying. That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief Uh-oh, I'll push something That is true. They were broken off because they're unbelief but you stand But you stand fast through faith. So he wants you to stand fast through believing through faith Okay So do not become proud but fear Okay, so he's telling him stand fast through believing through faith For if god did not spare the natural branches neither will he spare you So he won't spare you if you're not believing Okay, no then the kindness and severity of god severity towards those who have fallen But kindness to you provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off Well, how do they continue this kindness by believing? What have we already discussed guys that believing is a continual act? It is it is done you enter into it one time and continuously stay in it Through the holy spirit Okay, okay.  This is the bands Johnson played for the for the Broncos So anyway, you got a fan brother uh So now uh Let me see. Let me take one last question. But anyway guys remember I'm going to cover all of these more in depth I'm going to have a video over each one of these passages if there are passages that you say that do not I mean that that clearly show that you can lose your salvation Send me that that on the and I'll put the community tab up This evening send me that and I will get to work on it this week I'll start doing a little small videos on that I won't I won't let it take away from what I already have going on But I don't think they will take too long All of these I've literally literally all of these I've gone over several times But I wanted to be to where you can just go. Hey, you know, what about this this chapter or this book or this passage? And you can go and say, okay. Oh, he's talking about 1st Timothy 4. He's talking about James 5. He's talking about revelation 3 He's talking about Hebrews 3 he's talking about Hebrews 10 Okay, and you can see the actual passage and we'll cover that so and again I'm going to use Greek or Hebrew depending on where the passage is So anyway, uh Okay, wait a second. All right, hold up Moderators, you may have to block this guy. I'm gonna show you why in a second I'll show you why in a second not you chest champ You might mess right get yourself blocked if you greet this guy. This guy just says that Tom Brady Is the best to ever touch a football How blasphemous How blasphemous? No, he's the most successful He accomplished Let me see something. Oh, wait a second. Wait a second Okay, okay All right, guys, I'm gonna go ahead because it's giving me an error message um It's giving me an error message. I'm gonna go ahead and and and cut this off guys. So Um Let me go ahead. Uh, what is it doing? All right, let's give me something youtube is not receiving enough video Okay, let's see if I can fix this right now. All right. I don't know if that if that fixed it or not Hopefully that fixed it Same thing. Yeah, I don't think you guys are I don't think you guys are getting me Um Okay, I think it's I think it's picking back up. I'm not sure what happened to this to this network This is youtube and I have no idea what that is. How do you spell tomorrow? Okay? All right, guys, I'm not sure what's happening here. So Um, I'll go ahead and in this
