Opening Banter and the Coming Easter Pageant in Mesa

Welcome to the dividing line. My name is James White though. You can't hear me. That's okay. Got to turn that little switchy thingamabob you wobble up there. It's early in the morning 11 a .m. Is a little hard to get at when you were up all last night.

We had a cold front blow through here, in fact, I'm watching people in the channel talking about how warm it is back east it's only 58 degrees here in Phoenix very windy and We had a cold front come through last night about 12 30 in the morning in stocking feet I'm out in my backyard trying to put things back together again after it started blowing like anything and you know freak the dog out because stuff is flying around and and It was it was lots of fun.

So it was uh, it was a I'm not sure do you say it was a long night or a short night when you didn't get? A whole lot of sleep. I'm not sure which but anyways Those of you back east who are broiling today.

Don't worry you will be cold before you know it and anyways, it is the week before Easter and normally that would be a Very very busy week for us and it may be I I don't know How things are going to work out this coming week as far as the Easter pageant is concerned the Easter pageant of the LDS Church runs the week prior to Easter and past couple weeks.

Past couple years. I'm sorry there have they have had trying to get hold of the technical producers attention Unfortunately failing to do so. Um, there we go. And that little box down there is supposed to be a two-way street, you know, you talk to me I talk to you so anyways last I think the last two years they had seven nights of English performances and a couple nights of Spanish performances now they've gone Spanish performances all last week and then this week starting tomorrow evening Tuesday night through Saturday night the Easter pageant of the Mormon Church in Mesa In the English performances and well, we started doing that.

I first went out there in 1983 took my wife with me on the she's we were on the back of a Kawasaki 440 and The superstition freeway which now goes to who knows where and did it's a Country Club Road back then that's how long ago this was and we started passing out tracks the next year and Then really started hitting it the year after that 1985 was the first fully organized every night people at every corner specific tracks the whole nine yards, and so we've been doing this for a long long time and Unfortunately, I do not know Whether we're going to be able to do that this year.

The reason being those of you who have followed our website There is a group of simply out of control Irresponsible King James only Fundamentalist Baptist wacko aids that's the only term I can use these individuals If you ever try to reason with them if you ever try to talk to them you will discover.

I am being kind and complimentary and These individuals have chosen To be a scourge upon the Mormon Church now. They think they are being a scourge upon me I Guess I don't know but I Really think they're a scourge upon the Mormon Church Because they are basically Attempting to Well they call it witnessing they call it street preaching it is as you have seen Street abuse these are individuals.

We've played audio of their their abusive behavior on the dividing line before last six months ago in Salt Lake City, I stood there as one of them yelled at a Group of passing Mormons. It shouldn't be Mormon.

It should be moron. That's the level of their their intellectual capacity and behavior they are Without shame they are I think Correctly described by Peter and Jude as as clouds without without water Brute beasts who simply will not accept correction or guidance or anything along those lines they are not under the authority of of churches and people who have been trained to Handle the Word of God and so they get into fights up in Salt Lake City.

They there have been people Mormon couples getting married and Standing out on the the steps of the temple in Salt Lake City these people start yelling abusive things through the the Fences at them until the Mormons come out and get the fistfights with them, and it's just absolutely unbelievable they are they are poisonous they poison the atmosphere and make it impossible to speak of the gospel of grace as long as they're around because it's something they don't know anything about and We've tried to reason with them.

It's simply not possible. You might as well attempt to reason with a wall It simply Doesn't you know doesn't work and so they have promised to be in Mesa this week. And if they are I don't think anything's going to take place.

The Mesa Police Department is not going to put up with that kind of behavior and They will simply banish us all and I can guarantee you one thing I am NOT going to stand around When You know with these individuals and Listen to their railing at folks and get absolutely nothing done The entire week.

I'm just just not going to do it, and I may have my first week before Easter Where I'm not standing on the corner of Maine and Hobson and Mesa. I don't know we we will see maybe You know God will work a miracle and these folks will Get lost and end up you know up near page or something standing on a street corner with their signs and page I think that'd be great.

I think that would be a wonderful thing, but you know we'll find out what happens tonight. I've actually come up with an idea. I thought I'd throw it out here. Just see what people think came with an idea.

I was thinking if we broke our group up into twos and we got clipboards and We we started going around doing surveys and We would survey people we'd ask him are you LDS and no matter what they answered we still ask him these questions and the questions would be like well, we're doing a survey of what people know about the Mormon Church, and are you aware of The fact that the Mormon Church believes in a plurality of gods and We might have a quote you know maybe something from You know you know Doctrine and Covenants section 132 or the book of Abraham chapter 4 or something like that.

And it would be interesting and how many Mormons wouldn't know that I mean we could actually come up with some interesting results. I'd actually like to keep track of the the you know actually make it a real survey.

But it's also an opportunity to get conversations going but have specific questions About what people know about what the Mormon Church teaches about how the Mormon Church teaches. That there there are only true two churches the church lamb the church the devil.

Were you aware of that? That's not a you know that's really not a postmodern view and Use that as a way of beginning conversations on various subjects both with a non Mormon. Because you could then transition into a discussion of the gospel what their church background is things like that as well as a Mormon obviously.

And if you ask enough questions on a sufficiently wide variety of topics you could always pick one response and focus in upon that and and begin a Conversation that way. So that's something to something to consider.

I think it would be very easy. It would only take me a few minutes to type up a really good list of questions that could be asked and print it out and. And actually, you know make it work, so I don't know that's just something I was I was pondering.

The problem is if these King James only guys do show up. They're gonna basically follow me around. So I suppose I could you know sacrifice myself to keep them Following me around obviously if they have a large enough group.

They're just gonna go everywhere and there would be no place we could go that. That they wouldn't be around and so I don't even think the survey issue necessarily would work in that context. Anyways, that's what we're gonna try and see how it see how it works.

You know you can pray that they're just gonna go far far far away. That would be very nice but we'll we'll see what happens, but anyhow by the way by the way before we get into our subject today, or if you have a Question comment today eight seven seven seven five three thirty three forty one eight seven seven seven five three thirty three forty one.

Last Dividing line if you hear that sound the background I have one of these. One of the places I I haven't actually bought anything from a long a long time. There's Levenger comm. It's places where you get all this cool leather stuff.

They make these these book weights like there's like beanbag type things. You know and they're really cool to throw back and forth between your hands like this. It's sort of a it's very relaxing thing to do anyways.

Last dividing line. Michael Fallon was on and we let everybody know about the absolutely positively amazing Developments in regards to the December Apologetics cruise specifically the crashing of the rates.

I mean you could just Steal a room you simply you could not go to a five-star Resort every night and eat the way you can eat on this boat. For how much they're charging for the entire trip and We didn't know how long these lot these rates would last but we managed to get we managed to lock in those incredibly low rates.

So we can we can if you come with us if you book through us you can get these incredibly low rates. But guess what has happened since then. I mean today's Tuesday. That was Thursday. Mike called me yesterday said dude.

You've got to get on Travelocity calm. You've got to check something out, and I'm like man. I just got back from teaching. Can you just sort of fill me in oh? Thank you, I wondered what in the world was going on it really sounded goofy in here.

So you had to do a little technical adjustment to the compressor in other words you hit it with a with a hammer or something. It's not a good thing when that starts happening. Yeah, I figured that out.

Anyhow he he says well What we the cabin that we have? For three hundred and six dollars and We need by the way rich. We need to change these rates on the on the website the cabin that we have For three hundred and six dollars.

You know what it's selling to everybody else right now at as of as of yesterday 1 ,607 bucks. Thirteen hundred and one dollars more. No one no one in the world can get on this boat cheaper than through us right now.

It's incredible. So it's it is it is just rad amazing a very great blessing and I'm really looking forward to it because silly Brit is going to be on the on the cruise with all his little silly Brits and Lord willin Dr. Wally bolt will be on will be on the on the trip, and I tell you it's Really neat so don't put it off get hold of Michael Fallon.

We've had lots and lots of folks that have have contacted us after last week, and it is just going to be a Tremendously good time there in December 6th through the 13th on the Zondom and If you like to eat especially let me tell you something.

The food is just I mean I've never been on a ship this nice. I mean, I've I felt embarrassed I'll be honest. I felt embarrassed by the way. I was treated on the carnival imagination. On a three-day cruise I mean I was embarrassed at the quality of the food and and the surroundings and everything and we've gone on a little nicer ship each time.

When I went on the paradise second time that was a non-smoking carnival ship, and then last time we went on the Mercury. Much nicer ship, but the Zondom is going to be the best ship we've been on at all biggest cabins most luxurious and talk about a wonderful time of fellowship and teaching and I'm gonna be doing as far as I can tell I'm gonna be doing the vast majority of the teaching so.

That's gonna be something that's gonna be really enjoyable. And I'd love to get wonky to go on the on the cruise so we could work out together in the gym. I think that'd be a very enjoyable thing, but you know I'm sure that he'll be Flossing his cat's teeth or something that during that period of time because whenever we try to get together with him.

He's just you know. It's just like when he said he came to Phoenix, and he didn't and all that stuff so anyways Get a hold of Michael Fallon the link is on our website. We'll update the ignore the prices right now the prices are old.

We'll we'll get him fixed, but just drop down there and talk to Michael Fallon. Oh by the way, he will not be returning emails today because his wife has taken him out for his birthday. So happy birthday Mike if today, you know if today's your birthday, and it's April 15th.

What a bummer, but at least no one ever forgets Your your birthday at that particular point in time. But then again who wants to buy you a birthday present on April 15? Here Mike it's your 14th copy of TurboTax there you go.

What a lousy day to have a birthday if If. If it is today, it could be tomorrow who knows you know how it works, but if it's the 15th, then I feel sad for. For Mike oh my eight seven seven seven five three three three forty one's a number last week I was actually going to raise an issue and The phone started ringing off the hook, and we never never got around to it.

I am I I know I know I know the main page articles been up there a long time. I even had someone write to me to write back to them. We've had someone offer to videotape. To basically I guess sort of act out the dialogue in the main page article on on sola scriptura and You know that's a really good idea if you haven't read the main page article you should.

It was a dialogue between myself Roman Catholic and sola scriptura obviously it could be expanded Extensively, and I think it'd be a really good idea To do that. I'm gonna suggest to them that that that you know might be a good idea.

We might be able to cooperate in the doing of it since we have our own video facilities these days but I Would think you'd be good to like do the main page letters to a Roman Catholic. Do the main page article and then do some variants of it for example.

I know that One of Roberts and Genesis apprentice apologists Has written a response to that article where he gives his response well of course. He's a traditionalist so he's going to take a whole different perspective and.

But it'd be neat to then Redo the dialogue with a maybe a liberal Catholic redo the dialogue with a Traditionalist Catholic see how the you know the various things go and see how it would be handled. Nietzsche.

But that'd be something to be really worthwhile doing. I think I realize there's a lot of work that goes into something like that no, no toys about it, but Just sort of watching the discussion and channel right now.

It's sort of funny. But That would be something to be really neat to do. I I know that that article though needs to be changed it's been up there for about since January February somewhere around there and.

Hebrews 10 and the Perfect Sacrifice of Christ

So I have begun work on the replacement article. And I like to try to make the main page article something new. Report on something it recently took place. I suppose it'd be easy enough to put a report on the debates couple weeks ago.

That would be the the shortest thing but what I want to do is put up on the main page article a discussion of Hebrews chapter 10 and it was It really was placed upon my heart by the discussion that I had with Robertson genus during the cross Examination period of the debate last week.

I thought that that was probably the clearest a Portion of the debate as far as the inability of at least mr. St. Genesis position to interact with the text and just yesterday morning as I was a climbing What will someday I'm sure be called Piestewa Peak I? was listening to some EWTN presentations on the priesthood because the subject of the debate on Long Island on May 29th will be the priesthood and It was interesting to listen to this Roman Catholic priest because over and over again he would say Christ's sacrifice is the one sacrifice of the New Covenant and Even quoted from Hebrews chapter 10 how it perfects those that are sanctified and I couldn't help but just sit there and going.

Okay, do you hear what you're saying in light of what you believe because then he would he would very frequently make reference to Such things as you know Christ's sacrifice being made present through the Eucharist and and all the rest of stuff and I and I Was again reminded of the fact that this passage can be quoted but as long as you have your your ultimate traditions and as long as you're not listening in the context in which those words were originally spoken then well, I guess we can understand how how that would work, but This passage really struck me as as again being so clear and I think one of the things that made it even more clear for me was when you When someone presents a an improper interpretation of a passage Due to the presence of tradition the fact they have a an overarching goal.

They're attempting to reach a particular position. They're trying to defend Responding to it and Trying to demonstrate how that conclusion of that interpretation violates the context of the passage can sometimes not only be extremely challenging, but it also has the rewarding result of Clarifying your own understanding of the of the passage you might You might have studied the passage before but without that challenge to examine say a certain aspect of the text a certain Form of the grammar a certain aspect of the syntax whatever it might be you gain greater clarity.

Regarding the meaning of the text because of the challenge because of the Interpretation that is offered that you you are able to detect is not coming from exegesis. It's not coming from examining the text coming from another position, but how then do you respond to it?

How do you defend the in the original intention of the author over against the Interpretation being offered that can very frequently clarify your own thinking now also it can muddle you if You're not following the rules of hermeneutics what I mean by that is sometimes if you're an apologist You're looking at a passage.

You don't want to see it used in a certain way and Therefore your own interpretation can become skewed. There's no question about that. This is a matter of balance and balance is necessary in all things and We have to be very careful that we do not Misinterpret the scriptures in such a way as to strengthen what we think is our position or whatever else it might be and So.

But in this case just simply examining the text and listening to the Assertions that were made was very very helpful. And what do I mean by that? Well, first of all, it's important to keep in mind the the context of This particular book and that is I think one of the first things that people miss.

Mr. St. Janice repeated what he had said in 1999 where he in essence Insisted that the context of the book of Hebrews 51 of the text in the book of Hebrews is about apostasy about losing your faith about falling away and I respond by saying 100 of the text of Scripture of the book of Hebrews is about the supremacy of Christ to the Old Way.

Now those warnings Flow from the demonstration the supremacy of Christ. There's nothing to go back to. This is a book that is written to Hebrew Christians and those Hebrew Christians were being put under pressure by family and culture to go back to the temple worship to go back to the old ways and The book is demonstrating that there is nothing to go back to.

There is no temple worship there is no sacrifice there is no Synagogue worship. There is nothing to go back to because Jesus Christ is superior in every way To the old way the old way was merely a shadow of what was to come since what was to come has now come.

There's nothing to go back to whether it's the priesthood or the sacrifices of the temple the offerings. Whatever it might be all of that has been fulfilled in Christ. And so that is the message of the book it is delivered to a mixed Congregation that is it is delivered to the church that any elder has to preach to when you preach to the congregation.

You do not have some Special ability to look into the hearts of all those who are listening and know who is and who is not truly in Christ. And so you press the warnings upon all knowing that in the part of the elect those warnings will create sobriety will create carefulness a seriousness of life.

That honors and glorifies God and they also have a purpose for those who are not United with Christ in that God is glorified even in their reaction to those warnings In the demonstration of their lack of love for the truth or whatever else it might be and so.

This is the context of the book of Hebrews, and it's in that context then that we approach the subject of Hebrews chapter 10 and it's it's testimony concerning the Sacrifice of Christ. Now the writer begins this section with the discussion.

Let me just read the first Four verses for the law since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things can never. By the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year make perfect those who draw near.

Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered because the worshipers having once been cleansed would no longer have had consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year for it is impossible For the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

And so the writer begins this section Of his argumentation with the discussion through verse 4 of the repetitive nature of the old Sacrifices the law of Moses was by nature a shadow a mere picture of what would come in Christ.

Therefore the annual sacrifices which are offered continually year by year Could not make perfect those who draw near to worship through them. This is then evidenced by the fact that if they did perfect those for whom they were made Would they not have to be offered repeatedly constantly?

Would they if they if they did perfect them then why do the continuation of the sacrifices? Why do they have to repeat it over and over again the worshipers being? Perfected by the offerings would no longer have had consciousness of sins.

Why. Well it's important to note what the text says having once been cleansed. Having once been cleansed the perfection to which the author refers has to do with Cleansing. The removal of stain of sin therefore removes the guilt which is related to the conscience.

Perfect offerings remove guilt imperfect ones do not. Since however these offerings are repeated over and over and over again They end up functioning as an anamnesis as the Greek term a reminder or remembrance as it's translated First Corinthians 11 24 to 25 a reminder of sins.

The repetition of a sacrifice Demonstrates its inherent inability to perfect anyone for whom it is offered. The fact that the high priest had to enter the holy place each year. Functioned in God's economy to point the people to a greater fulfillment.

Remember it was this very Lesser sacrifice to which the Hebrew Christians were being drawn by the pressure of family and culture hence to demonstrate that what they were being drawn back to was actually a a mere foreshadowing of what they had now come to see as the fulfilled and final sacrifice with a Devastating apologetic argument a firm basis upon which to exhort the gathered church to continuation in their profession of faith.

The writer then asserts the reality of the sacrifice of bulls and goats Cannot take away sins now. He has remember previously said that Christ put away sin in Hebrews 9 26. So the contrast is very strong.

Christ death by nature has a power that the blood of goats and bulls does not and Therefore the person who goes back to the old way goes back to a system that simply cannot provide a means to take away sins.

Because to go back would involve the open and public denial the satisfaction found in Christ atoning sacrifice. Which becomes the point by the way of Hebrews chapter 10 verses 26 through 27 another passage that frequently causes people difficulties in their understanding of the book of Hebrews itself.

Eight seven seven seven five three thirty three forty one. We have one call on hold. We're gonna take our break and be right back. It's all.

Millions of petitioners from around the world are employing Pope John Paul II to recognize the Virgin Mary as co-redeemer with Christ. Elevating the topic of Roman Catholic views of Mary to national headlines and widespread discussion in his book Mary another Redeemer James White sidesteps hostile rhetoric and cites directly from Roman Catholic sources to explore this volatile topic.

He traces how Mary of the Bible esteemed mother of the Lord obedient servant and chosen vessel of God Has become the immaculately conceived bodily assumed Queen of Heaven. Viewed as co-mediator with Christ and now recognized as co-redeemer by many in the Roman Catholic Church.

Mary another Redeemer is fresh insight into the woman. The Bible calls a blessed among women and an invitation to single-minded devotion to God's truth. You can order your copy of James White's book.

He insists that this belief system is theologically inconsistent. Philosophically insufficient and morally repugnant. In his book the potter's freedom. James White replies to dr. Geisler, but the potter's freedom is much more than just a reply.

It is a defense of the very principles upon which the Protestant Reformation was founded. Indeed it is a defense of the very gospel itself in a style that both scholars and laymen alike can appreciate.

James White masterfully counters the evidence against so-called extreme Calvinism. Defines what the reformed faith actually is and concludes that the gospel preached by the reformers is the very one taught in the pages of scripture.

The potter's freedom a defense of the Reformation and a rebuttal to Norman Geisler's chosen. But free you'll find it in the reformed theology section of our bookstore at a omen org.

The Meaning of Sanctified in Hebrews 10:10 and 10:14

We're talking about Hebrews chapter 10 today, and you will be taking your phone calls in just a moment. I just wanted to at least get to somewhat of a of a breaking point here. I'm not sure that I'll get all the way through this today.

Eventually this will be on the website anyways one way or the other but in the verses 5 through 9. The author then gives us an argument from Psalm 40 he says therefore when he comes in the world He says sacrifice an offering you have not desired.

But a body you have prepared for me in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices of sin you have taken no pleasure. Then I said behold I have come the scroll the book is written of me to do your will Oh God after saying above Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have not desired Nor have you taken pleasure in them then notice this little statement which are offered according to the law so here.

He's saying okay. Here's Here's the argument these are offered according to the law these are the Sacrifices and offerings that I'm talking about here in my argument here in my in my sermon to you verse 9.

Then he said behold I have come to do your will. He takes away the first that is the offering of the sacrifices and burnt offerings in order to establish the second. And what is the second behold? I have come to do your will that then becomes the context for by this will and that's referring back to The word will in verse 9 by this will we have been sanctified Through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Now it's I think important to to notice something here. Sometimes one of the hermeneutical errors that we all fall into is We become accustomed to interpreting a particular word Within a particular author and then we assume that every other author is going to use that word in the same way.

Unfortunately some of the quote-unquote Bible study methodologies that people utilize tend to Encourage people in Making this kind of an error and what I mean by that is it let's say you you do a word study.

And you're using something like Strong's exhaustive concordance the Bible or something like that. It's very easy for someone to take a definition and Then force that definition into every use that word.

Even though it is very clear that different authors will utilize words in a different way. Now there are some who have this view of inspiration that basically God did not utilize the personalities of authors.

I'm not sure how they get around the Psalms. I'm not sure how I get around Paul saying pray for me but anyways, they actually have a view that's sort of what we have in the Bible's automatic writing and It's all supposed to have the same.

You know, every word means the same thing wherever it's used. It's just one author and certainly we know God is the author of Scripture, but he used men not so as to introduce imperfection, but he used men so as to communicate to men and Of course, I'm not using the term women for any particular reason there I'm just not politically correct.

Anyways, uh That is very clear in regards to the nature of Scripture itself. And so when we come to the book of Hebrews, you may notice that the writer is not addressing for example the relationship of Jews and Gentiles and the ground by which they stand before God in justification he is addressing a particular group of people and It was interesting mr. St. Janice just assumed and and really his response at least as I recall it I haven't watched the films or anything to see if if this is what the camera picked up.

But his response when I asked him about the meaning of sanctified in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 10 was he just assumed it meant the process of sanctification. Well, yeah that the term is used that way. Paul uses that to refer to you know God's will is your sanctification and the putting away of uncleanness for you and the lust and so on so forth.

But that's not what the writer of Hebrews is talking about. When you understand the Old Testament background the concept of being set apart made holy sanctified. That takes a very different. This is positional sanctification this is being made holy and certainly in verse 10.

How can you say anything other than this by this will that is the will. Verse 9 I have come to do your will O Lord in this body the giving of this body this offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all over against the repetitive sacrifices.

Which are which we see in verses 5 and following those repetitive sacrifices. No Christ comes in his body. He offers his body Once for all that is not a distributive term that is a temporal adverb it's referring to once for all time not once for every single individual and.

Then it says by this will we have been sanctified. This is called a periphrastic construction. It uses the present tense of I mean with a perfect passive participle of hagiadzo and this Form in a in a periphrastic construction when there are charts.

You can look up where if you have this tense of the finite verb and then and then this tense of the participle. The result is for the construction this tense and this is the perfect tense Periphrastic.

This is a complete action the past with remaining abiding results to the present. And so the writer is is communicating to us that by that will We have been sanctified. It is something that has already taken place.

It is a perfective action. We have been sanctified and in only one way through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once. One offering to see the contrast same contrast. It was in verses 1 through 4 repetitive sacrifices can't take away sin repetitive.

Actually can't take away sin. Now you have by this will we have been sanctified. We have been set apart. We have been made holy. This is positional sanctification. This would be analogous not strictly.

But at least as we're comparing the arguments and that the arguments are different so use different terms. It would be analogous to Paul's use of Justification that is the forensic declaration of being made right before God but here you're talking in in the in the context of temple and sacrifice and priesthood and.

So what is the the work of God? They're sanctified set apart made holy we have been as a complete action of the past with abiding results the present been sanctified through the offering that's again and Don't Misunderstand the use of this language.

That's cultic language. That's a that's a term used in scholarship to refer to the the the worship within the temple that is the very term that is used for the offering of the sacrifices in the temple in the Old Testament the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all now, then you get a a verses 11 through 13 are Sort of a an excursus.
