Went down to Utah and debated a guy, David Robinson, and we did that on Friday. It was a good turnout, it was a good turnout, met a lot of neat people, and I'm actually interested in feedback, so if you were there at the debate, we don't have it up online yet, so we will, hopefully by the end of the week.

So if you were there and you want to call in, make comments, I'd love to hear from you, and tell me what you thought, I know that it was, we had a good turnout, I was surprised because the time, 4 o 'clock on a Friday, wasn't the best, but you know, it's the way it works.

So I did meet some people who were very thankful for the radio show down there, and it was pretty good. I mean, that was great to hear them be appreciative, and I'm not looking for praise, it's just, you know, it's nice to meet people who listen to the show, who benefit from the show.

I want to say thanks to Russ, because he did a great job putting everything together. He's a good man. He runs the station down there, and they have this really nice Bible kind of a museum, kind of building house place they meet at across from Weber State, or was it Weber State, Weber?

And we had a good time there, after the debate we went over there and had pizza, and got to talking to some people afterwards, and got to teach some advanced theology to some people. I always loved doing that.

We had a good time, and then I went over and spent the night over at Russ East's house, and a nice house, the family was great, hey Tammy, his wife, it was great, treated really nicely, and everything was great, and came back, and then I stopped by two people, to see two people on the way back, and got here around 10 o 'clock at night, Saturday, and stuff like that.

Went to church on Sunday. And I think that's about it, so hey, look, if you want to give me a call about the debate, if you were there, you know, you can comment, I want to hear from you, give me a call, 877 -207 -2276.

Debate Results Review

I think it went really well. I don't think that my opponent made his point, and I'll talk about it here a little bit before we get into the callers. So the debate topic was, does the Bible teach salvation by faith or works?

So basically, that's a pretty easy one to discuss. Faith or works, right? So what I did was read some verses, but here's the main one. It says this, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not as a result of works.

So if the debate topic is, does the Bible teach salvation as by faith or works, and you say we've been saved through faith, not of works, Ephesians 2 .8 .9, well then I'm going to conclude that we're saved by faith and not by works, which is exactly what the Bible says.

And there's other verses that teach the same thing. So what was interesting was my opponent, nice guy, you know, he's a nice guy, he kept saying the word alone wasn't there in the text. And I addressed the issue of alone, you know, with Romans 4 .5.

We talked about justification too, because justification's part of salvation, where man is justified by faith alone, and that's what it says logically in Romans 4 .5, to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, whose faith is credit as righteousness.

The word alone doesn't have to be there, but the concept is certainly taught. And so, you know, it's just basic stuff, and I thought it was good, I thought it was interesting, and hopefully, Lord willing, I'm going to find out where the file is, because somebody, they recorded it, they had a guy do that, and Charlie was his name, he was a great guy, and he wasn't really a believer, but, at least I don't think he was, but, you know, we talk, he's a nice guy.

So we'll get this stuff from him, and then I'll just upload it on Rumble and YouTube, and we'll let it go, and stuff like that. All right, hey, so if you want to give me a call, 877 -207 -2276, you can also email me, that's easy.

Just direct an email to info at CARM .org, C-A-R-M-O-R-G, info at CARM .org, and put in the subject line, radio comment, or radio question, and by the way, CARM, it was either Friday or Saturday, passed 163 million visitors, for the total number of people to come to the site.

How about that? I think that's it. Okay, well, let's get on the phones with Juanita from Michigan. Juanita, welcome back.

You're on the air. Hey there, thank you very much. Thank you. My thought, real quick, I don't want to get off on the face thing, because I... Hold on, hold on, there's a ticking. There's a ticking, can you hear that?

Your guy said there was a ticking. I don't hear it, if it doesn't bother you. No, it's distracting.

Can you just call right back, and then we'll get you going, okay? Okay, all right. It's pretty bad. Okay, all right. Let's see. Let's try this with, let's try it with, we'll go to Alan, and there's no ticking.

Okay, good. She'll call back, and we'll get it going. Alan, welcome. You're on the air. Hey, Matt.

How's it going? Oh, it's going. It's going. How you doing? I'm doing all right. So, one thing I thought about, my friend actually mentioned to me about this, is does God partake in humor?

It's hard to answer, because humor is based upon surprise. God's not surprised, so I would say in that sense, no. However, another sense, he certainly has a sense of humor when he uses someone named Slick, who's got mental problems.

So, you know, aside from that, I don't think we can say so, you know?

Would you say someone laughing at something. Is someone partaking in humor?

Could be, but it could also be mocking. You know, I laugh at you in derision, because it could be a derisive thing.

So that just depends. Well, I would consider mocking a form of humor, too.

It could be, just, you know, it could be, yeah.

The main verse I was looking at is Psalms 59 .8.

Okay, Psalm 59 .8. But you, O Lord, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations. So, yeah, that's a scoffing kind of a laugh. Like, you're so dumb, you know? Jeez. Like that kind of thing.

Yeah. Would you say that's humor in that case? No, I wouldn't.

I'd say it's not humor. But humor, it's a wide variety of things. And so, is it like stand-up kind of humor? No. You know, hey, did you hear the one about the, you know, humor? So, you know, a cat falling backwards when it gets scared by a toaster?

That's humor. So there's all kinds of ways to define it. And so it's hard to apply it to God. The laughter, when he laughs, is a derisive thing. I wouldn't call that humor. Okay? Okay. All right. Well, I appreciate it, Matt.

Sure. No problem at all. Thank you.

All right. God bless. All right. Now let's try Juanita again. Let's see. Okay. Am I okay? Yeah, that's good now. Okay. No problem. All right. That's great. I only want to take a minute, because you have other callers.

But you had asked me last time to take a look at John 14, 23. We were talking about, of course, I'm a non-Trinitarian, and you wanted me to look at John 14, 23. You had said that, so it's, if a man loved me, he will keep my words.

My father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. And you had said that, because the Father and Jesus will, that they will make our abode with us, that that means that Jesus is God.

And I, you know, of course, have to disagree with that. So you asked me to look at it, and so I am calling now to say that the whole point of what John is trying to say there is he's talking about the promise of the Spirit.

He's talking about how the Spirit will indwell us through faith in Jesus Christ. He says in 16, he says, I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may be with you forever, that he will dwell with you and shall be in you.

And Jesus says, I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. And so the way that Jesus comes to us is, he explains in verse 26, he said, But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, who the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So all the things that Jesus has taught will be brought to our remembrance through the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, who leads us to all truth. And so by Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit, Jesus abides in us, his abode is in us.

We are like a temple, we're referred to as a temple. Corinthians tells us we're the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in us. And Ephesians, you know, we're built as a habitation of God through the Spirit.

And one last scripture, 1 John 4, 15, Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. So if we confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God dwells in us. So it's very distracting that people's eyes are turned by the meaning of the Father and Jesus will make their abode in us.

You know, to say that has anything to do... Can I comment?

Oh, absolutely. So you just supported the doctrine of the Trinity, because you said the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit will all indwell us. That's exactly how we get the doctrine of the Trinity. Now, when you go to 14 .23, what it says there, what you need to look at, a lot of times what people do in different religious systems, when a particular verse doesn't agree with their theology, they go elsewhere.

What they do is they take a meaning someplace else, and they import it over to this verse, or whatever verse that challenges them, and then they reinterpret it that way. What it says in the verse, if anyone loves me, he'll keep my word.

He's talking about himself. The Father will love him, and we, that means the Father and Jesus, will come to him and make our abode with him. So, he's saying the Father is going to live in you. No problem.

And Jesus says he will do that, too. So do you believe that Jesus himself is living in you?

What scripture tells me here is that he will petition the Father, and the Father will send the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will teach us all things that Jesus has said. That's what he said. You're not answering the question.

No, you're ignoring the text. You're ignoring what it says, and the reason you are is because it doesn't fit your theological presuppositions. And so you are twisting the word of God to make it fit your theology.

It clearly says the Father and the Son will make their abode in you. That's what it says in John 14, 23. Do you believe, or do you deny, that Jesus himself will come and make his abode inside of a true believer?

That would just be my opinion. Let me read verse 26.

Hold on, we're looking at verse 23. We're looking at verse 23. I know what verse 26 says. You go to 14, 26, 15, 26. I know about them. Look, if anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Jesus is talking about himself here.

And my Father will love him, and we, that's the Father in him, will come to him and make our abode with him. Do you affirm or do you deny that the Father is going to live in you?

Do you affirm or do you deny? It says that we're built as a habitation of God through the Spirit. God dwells in me. Hold on, I'm going to break.

You're not listening. You're not answering God's word. You're changing it to suit your theology. Answer it and we'll get back. Folks, we'll be right back. If you want to give me a call, 877 -207 -2276.

We'll be right back. It's Matt Slick Live! Taking your calls at 877 -207 -2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right, buddy. Welcome back to the show. Let's get back on with Juanita. Juanita. Hello. Yeah. Yeah.

So how come you're not answering the verse for what it actually says?

Because John explains in the following verse what it says. I don't have to guess at what it says. Verse 26 says that the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

No problem. So Jesus is petitioning. Right. But you're making a mistake. So the important fact here, the important focus here, is that we are being taught how we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. It has nothing to do with the Trinity thing.

The important fact is... Okay. Hold on. Hold on.

Let me respond to what you said. Okay. You went to verse 26 to change the meaning of verse 23, but 26 has nothing to do with 23. The helper whom the Father will send in my name, he... He... That's personhood.

Will teach. That's personhood. You... Of all things. And bring to remembrance all that I said. That's fine. But what Jesus said three verses earlier was that he and the Father will come and make their abode with you.

Did you also know that it says in 2 Corinthians 13, 5, it says that do you not recognize this about yourselves? That Jesus Christ is in you? But Colossians 1, 27...

We are the temple. If we understand the visualization here... Hold on.

You're saying... You're making the text say the opposite of what it says. No, no.

We are told that we are the temple. Let me ask you a question. I'll show it. I'll prove it to you and everybody else.

Is Jesus himself... This is a yes or no answer. Is Jesus himself personally, his personhood, is he dwelling in Christians?

Yes or no? The Holy Spirit is dwelling in Christians.

I didn't ask if the Holy Spirit is. I said is Jesus himself... Jesus. That's who I'm talking about. Is Jesus himself indwelling the Christians?

I can only say what scripture says. Whether it's Jesus himself or the Spirit of God through us being... It says, who shall ever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God? God dwells in me. You're asking me...

All I can do is answer you.

It's a yes or no question. Is Jesus himself dwelling in Christians?

Yes or no? Show me where it says that.

When he makes his abode with us... Do you not recognize this about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you? 2 Corinthians 13 .5. Okay?

We have been given the Holy Spirit. That's what dwells in me.

No, no, he. Not that. Now, I just read you a verse. Now, you know that. You know. You know that that... You deny God's word, Juanita. You are under judgment of God. You deny him. Because I read you the exact verse that says Jesus is in you as a Christian.

And you deny it. You go to some other verses to deny the word of who Christ is. The judgment of God is on you because you're believing a lie God has given you over. When I read you the exact verse that says the exact thing you ask, you deny it and you ignore it.

This makes you a...

If anyone goes to... You can say all kinds of bad things about me. But if anybody goes to chapter 14 of John and reads from verse 15 through to the end, you can clearly see that the very, very awesome message that we are given is that the Holy Ghost was sent by Jesus from God to dwell in us.

Yes, we know that. The Holy Spirit of God. We are temples of the Holy Spirit. God dwells in me. We know that. We don't disagree. Jesus is the high priest. We don't disagree. Jesus dwells... The question is...

Jesus dwells... Does Jesus himself dwell in you? Does he? The Holy Spirit dwells in me. That's what he told me. Okay, great, great, great. And that's as far as I'm going to go. Here's a question.

Is Jesus himself... I'm kind of going to... Is Jesus himself living in you?

What he told me is the Holy Spirit dwells in me, Matt.

I'm not going to go any... You're making Jesus into a liar.

You're making him into a liar. No, no, I'm not going to go any farther, Matt. You're making him a liar.

Jesus says he, the Father, will live in you. Is it true that he, the Father, are living in Christians? Jesus said that he was going to go to the Father. Stop making him a liar. Answer the question. Is he living in Christians or not?

The answer is yes or no.

Jesus told me the Holy Spirit... He sent the Holy Spirit from the... We're done.

Folks, at this point, it is absolutely useless because she obviously, clearly denies Jesus Christ and denies the clear teaching of Scripture. She asked me to show her where a verse says that Jesus lives in you and I did that exact thing.

2 Corinthians 13 .5, which says that exactly. What did she do? Didn't acknowledge it. She ignored it. When I go and I repeatedly ask her the same question, John 14 .23, she won't answer the question related to it.

What this tells you, and you should gather this, is that this makes her a non-Christian because she's denying who Christ is, denying what the Scripture says, and she's trying to find a way to make it say what it does not say.

She's trying to say, well, the Holy Spirit's in you and that's how Jesus is in you. But that's not what the text is saying. So this is what happens when people don't believe the Word of God. And when they're lost and the judgment of God is upon their hearts and their minds that they believe a lie.

And it should be quite clear that that was the case. Let's get to Nate from California. Nate, welcome. You're on the air.

How are you, Matt? Doing fine. I'm glad. You know, it's me. It's Nate. I'm from California. I just wanted a quick answer, really fast. Is it against the law of the world to have a man split off his ex with a woman before marriage?

Yes, it's sinful. In other words, I must not have any until marriage.

The only time that sexual relations is accepted between a man and a woman is when they're married. That's it. Okay? That's it. No exceptions.

I agree with you a hundred percent. Because I studied it and I disobeyed him. I have a child. And ever since she was born, I have not had this yet. Because I have not found another woman. And so it's fine for me.

Well, it's correct on what I'm saying. Okay, let's see. What's your question? Let's do the question thing.

That I shouldn't at all until marriage.

No one is supposed to have sexual relations with anybody outside of marriage. To do that is a sin against God. Well, yeah.

Correct me if I'm number one with a woman, yes. Even though that's what I believe. If you see what I mean. That I should be with a woman, of course. That's number one. But no other until marriage. Correct.

The only time it's permitted is in marriage. That's it. No exceptions. Yeah. We got a break. We got a break. Hold on, brother. Okay. We got a break. Okay. Hey, folks, if you want, you can come right back.

And we'll be right back. Give me a call. 877 -207 -2276. I'll be right back. It's Matt Slick live. Taking your calls at 877 -207 -2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right. Welcome back to the show. If you want to give me a call, we have two open lines.

877 -207 -2276. Let's get on. Whoops. No. Sorry. Wrong person. I hit the wrong thing.

Let's get back on with Nate. Hey, Nate. Welcome. You're back on here. Thank you. I know the answer that you were going to give me. Why? Because while I was with her, I went to church and everything. And not even married.

And we committed that sin. And the thing is that my head was in the air.

Okay. So you did that. So do you want to know the condition or what we do about that? Knowing the condition. Yeah. And I did it.

But now, ever since I had a daughter, she's not with me anymore.

Do you have a question, though? You're just giving me a lot of background.

But do you have a question? That Jesus said not to have any until marriage. Correct?

The Bible tells us not to have any sexual relations.

Also, because also looking at women, if you look at her, you sin.

Yeah. The idea of thought and purity of thought also is important. Yes. Let's get back to this. Let's get back.

What's your question? Let's get back to that. Well, question is not question. Pray for me. I don't go out or anything. I haven't found a woman.

Can you ask me a question?

Okay, let's get to a question. Just pray for me. I never meet a woman that truly turns me on and then me go the wrong way.

Look, I get you. I'm not laughing at you, but I just I totally get it. No, no, I understand. Yeah, I get it. I understand completely. So what you can do is you can email us at prayer at karm .org. Prayer at karm .org.

Joanne takes care of that. And they have people who pray and that'll be the thing to do. All right. Okay.

I truly appreciate it. And I'm glad you and I were correct. Because I'm going. Because I've had children that never got never had it. Never had sex until they got married.

And a lot of who you're hard to understand. Hard to understand. I'm sorry, because there's a couple of words I couldn't quite get. But you email us. All right, butter. Okay. All right, brother. Thank you.

Thank you. All right. God bless. All right. Hey, if you want to give me a call, all you got to do is dial 877 -207 -2276. Let's get on with anonymous from North Carolina. Welcome here.

I don't even know how to spell my own name. Testing, testing. Is this thing on? Hey. No, my name is Laura. If you would. What was I going to say? Delay that just called in. Called in earlier. My thing is that a father, son, and Holy Spirit is three in one and one in three.

But I know that I have his Holy Spirit. I know that much. But Jesus as a person, I don't. But he's all part of that. I was confused, I guess. If you could explain what that was, if you would.

I'm not sure what your question is, though. I'm sorry. Neither here. I'm sorry. I didn't pose it at all.

I know. I didn't pose it correctly. I'm sorry. Okay. I know that I have his Holy Spirit without a shadow of a doubt. You know, a beautiful, loving Holy Spirit in me. Okay. I was unclear what she was saying.

You were saying she thought she had the Holy Spirit.

She's denying that Jesus is God in flesh. She denies the Trinity. So she is not a Christian.

Oh. Oh. Okay. Well, hopefully she, you know, I'll pray she does come, too. Because I didn't know a lot of stuff until God's grace and mercy put me up out of a miry clay pit. That's right. Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to, yeah.

I mean, I'm overwhelmed by his Spirit. So I just, I wanted to just clarify, you know. Anywhere. Figure out. Thank you so much. God bless you, brother. And pray ahead to protection around you and your precious wife.

By the way, thank you for helping her and being a phenomenal husband. And we encourage you. At least someone recognizes it. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. But anyway, God bless you. Okay. I dig you, man. You do. All right.

Take care.

All right. You, too. God bless. God bless. At least someone recognizes how awesome I am. Oh, I just seen my wife right now, rubbed her forehead, shaking her head. So, hey, look. We have wide open lines.

If you wanna give me a call, 8772 -072276. Hey, there's nobody waiting, so let me make a comment about something before—we got a break coming up in a couple of minutes, 2 or 3, 2 or 4 minutes. Look, one of the things I've learned to do over the years when talking with somebody is to ask a very pointed question, a very direct question.

And I've found that people in cults can't answer, generally speaking, cannot answer direct questions. So if you know their theology well enough, if you know biblical theology well enough, it becomes easy to take an arrow and aim it exactly where it needs to go.

And I do this with Christians, you know, in certain theological perspectives. And I like to ask questions that can only be answered in the affirmative or the negative. Is it the case that, or is it not the case that?

This forces someone to ask the question succinctly. Is it the case that Jesus rose from the dead in the same body that he died in, or is it not the case that Jesus rose from the dead in the same body that he died in?

This is what's called a true dichotomy. A true dichotomy is something like, it is the case that there is a tennis ball in my hand, or it's not the case that there is a tennis ball in my hand. And so it's the statement and the negation of the statement.

And generally it's understood to be the same case, the same time, and same condition without any changes in there. And so that's what's called a true dichotomy. So it's either the case that I was in Utah two days ago, or it was not the case that I was in Utah two days ago, say 48 hours exactly from now.

So it's questions like that, and one of them is true. The other one cannot be true. They cannot both be true at the same time in the same sense because they contradict each other. So when I ask the question, is it the case that Jesus indwells us, or is it not the case that Jesus indwells us?

For someone who knows their own theology, they should be able to say yes or no. Is it the case that he is, or is it not the case? Well, they would say, it's not the case that. That's all the answer is.

Or you could ask it this way. You say, is this statement true or false? Jesus himself indwells believers. Is it true or is it false? It's another way of asking the same question. And I'll do this with people because I want them to get to the place of actually facing what Scripture teaches.

And you'll notice with Juanita, you know, she's not dumb, but, you know, she's spiritually blind, okay? So this is why I asked the pointed question about John 14 .23. And you'll notice, and this is a good example, she was not able to deal with what the text actually said.

And this happens a lot with a lot of different people. When I do it with Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, I do it with atheists, I'll do it with Muslims, I'll do it with other people. I'll ask these very pointed questions.

And sometimes they want to do the same thing to me. And when they do, I try and listen to that question and answer it pointedly, yes or no. And you may hear me on the radio sometime, someone will ask me a question, I'll say, yes.

Okay, I answered the question. And is there something else you want to follow up with? And so I'll do that. And most people are not familiar with that approach, just answering a question directly. And the Bible says, let your yes be yes, your no be no.

So is it the case that Jesus indwells Christians or is it not the case? Which is it? It's the case that he does. If she were to have denied, and she did, the fact of what it says, then she is openly denying scripture, clearly what it says.

So what she has to do and what other people have to do, it's the same kind of a thing, it's a good illustration. What they will do is find a way to make it sound like something else. Well, you see, way over there on those verses, it says this.

So that's how we know what this means here. Now, there are instances where it's certainly necessary to go look at other related scriptures. But we don't want to take that principle and say we do it with every verse, then you can't ever know what any verse means.

Because if you go to John 14, 23 and say, well, over here in verse 26, it means this. Well, then how do you know what verse 26 says? Well, let's go over to verse 28. Let's see what, then you are interpreting verses by what other verses mean, but you can do that ad infinitum, ad nauseam, and you'll never get anywhere.

The first rule is, what does it say? If you can't understand what it says, then you expand out and you go look at other related verses. But it's clearly understandable what it says, Jesus indwells us, because Jesus said so.

She's denying clearly what Jesus said, and it's a demonstration that she does not have the spirit of God. We'll be right back after these messages, 877 -207 -2276. Please stay tuned. It's Matt Slick live, taking your calls at 877 -207 -2276.

Here's Matt Slick. All right, everyone, welcome back to the show. Let's see, the next longest waiting person is Elijah from Pennsylvania. Welcome, you're on the air. Hey, Matt, how are you doing today?

Doing all right, hanging in there, a little obstreperous, but not too much. A little melancholy mixed in. What do you got?

Yeah, so I saw a video today about the doctrine of hell, and the guy was saying that he believes that the fire that is spoken about in hell is allegorical and not physical. He was giving his arguments for it, and I wanted to ask you what you thought about that, and I also wanted to ask you what you think about

Okay, let's do that one first.

Let's do that one first. No, to say it's allegorical is false. You go to Luke 16, 19 through 31, and Jesus himself gives the account, not a parable, because there's a proper name mentioned. And in Hades, the bad guy lifted up being in torment.

He cried out, Father, have mercy. He says, because I'm in agony in this flame. That's what it says right there. And also, you go to Revelation, let's see, 1411, I think it is. Let me see. The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever.

They have no rest day or night. And so, there's smoke, flame, torment, et cetera, and that's what's going on. Okay, so no, it's not allegorical. The person who just says that is just not paying attention to scripture.

Okay.

Yeah, and the other thing I wanted to ask you was, was that passage in Luke that you just went to, because he made an argument for this. He said that he believes that the rich man of Lazarus is a parable because he believes, because Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, and Jesus said in Mark 4, 10 to 12, that he speaks in parables so that the Pharisees will not understand the truth.

So, but that's why he believes that Jesus was speaking in a parable there.

Yes, but the problem is it has a proper name in it. Parables don't have proper names in it. When it's a proper name, it's about an individual, something that really happened. How then is it a parable?

It's just that simple. All right, Lazarus went down there. Lazarus and tradition says that divies was the name of the rich guy. I don't know that. You know, I forgot where I learned that, but you could also go to Matthew 25, 41.

Then this is what Jesus says, and he will also say to those on his left, depart from me. This is the day of judgment. Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire, which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.
