that I have spoken to you are spirit and life but there are some of you who do not believe for Jesus knew from the beginning here's this is important for Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe and who it was who would betray him so again in response to Stephen Furtick here

00:19

Jesus knew exactly who was going to believe and who was not going to believe because it was pre -ordained from the foundation of the earth so no one no one thwarted him no one suppressed his power in their unbelief and then lastly verse 65 and he said this is why

00:34

I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the father amen that's all

00:42

I gotta say that demonstrates how clear scripture is right the perspicuity of scripture is it's clear not only does it we have that clear didactic teaching of only those who the father gives to me will come all that the father draws will come all those clear things those who've been granted to believe all that but you also have prophecy of his death burial and resurrection and this talk of eating of my flesh drinking of my blood the communion that we're sharing in that picture of scripture that absolute certainty that Christ would die on the sacrifice day of the

01:17

Passover in our place for our sins that is further demonstration of God's sovereignty all all of scripture lends itself to the rest of scripture you need all of it it's not just that right that there's this didactic teaching this you know direct teaching about God's sovereignty in saving people but everything that Jesus is talking about here is sovereignty his crucifixion is sovereignty it's

01:40

God ordaining these things to come to pass and if the almighty will of man could thwart

01:46

God's purposes what if what if Pontius Pilate said no you can go free yeah is

01:52

God's plans thwarted the lamb slain from the foundation of the earth is that is that thwarted right so here you have

01:58

Furtick who is who is not holding to the sovereignty of God as a reformed person would would understand it and because of that he can't be consistent if he believes that God knows the future then he has to believe in some sort of sovereignty but he's not teaching it that way he's not being consistent within his own system right and as Dr.

02:20

White says inconsistency is the sign of a failed argument so if God is sovereign which he has to as a

02:28

I believe he's a still a southern baptist right within the southern baptist convention he would have to uphold those things those are in the the baptist faith and message he would have to believe in some form of God knowing the future but his theology can't understand it can't comprehend it can't account for that stuff.

02:43

Do you want to know what his view is? I'm so glad you brought this up because it's so important. He says in the message at 40 minutes he says the

02:50

Lamb of God looked at me through time and said I'll die for him. Right so it's it's the classical so you have the value you are worthy for me to give my life for.

03:00

How sickening. Well and that that um misreading of the text is why

03:06

John MacArthur said one word unqualified and that's why it's important because a part of the qualification isn't that you're just you you look at the first translation that you open up probably not a good one in Stephen Furtick's case.
