If God is omnipresent, does that mean he's in hell? And if the answer is no, then have we found a contradiction that will completely destroy the

00:09

Christian faith? I'm gonna answer that question. I'm gonna take your other questions in this brand new Bible Night Live.

00:15

So, here we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

00:23

Welcome back to Bible Night Live. I'm a little pumped. I'm a little pumped. It's Thursday. It's time to party!

00:28

This is where I sit with you and I answer... or at least try... to answer your questions about theology, apologetics, or whatever.

00:36

If you're brand new, my name is Nate Zala, and I'm helping you become the effective Christian that you are meant to be. Make sure to like, sub, and share this video around, but only if it blesses you.

00:44

All right? Here we go. First question. First question, right off the bat.

00:50

From Marshall Wooten. What scripture... Somewhat of a more personal question, but he asks,

00:59

Yeah. Let me...

01:07

Boy. That's a great question. I don't think one passage has impacted me the most.

01:16

At least, that's not how I think about it. What I've realized is that over the years, the

01:21

Lord has... He's used various passages in different seasons of my life to help guide me through my journey.

01:29

So, for example, when I was transitioning over from being a high school teacher to being a pastor,

01:35

I struggled with the shepherding aspect of what it meant to be a pastor. In other words,

01:41

I was treating pastoring in the same way that I would the high school classroom. And for a time,

01:46

I was doing both. You know? I was straddling two different lanes. Those were interesting times, man.

01:52

I was teaching during the day, and then I would leave the classroom and then go to church after school and do work as a pastor.

02:01

And this shift had to take place in me, you know?

02:06

Because my students in the classroom would show up, and then I'd spend time with them, but then they would leave, and I wouldn't see them again until their next class.

02:15

And actually, I wouldn't really even think about them. I mean, that was totally normal in a public high school classroom.

02:22

But with pastoring, there's a lot more that's required. There's a lot more that you can do as a pastor.

02:28

A lot more care and concern and availability. And I just didn't—I don't think I fully appreciated that.

02:34

So, one day, I'm just doing my regular Bible study, and I come across 1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 5.

02:41

Look at this. The aim of our charge is love, that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

02:50

This is what Paul is showing Timothy. This is what

02:56

Paul says is the goal of the pastor. Now, at the time, I'm just trying to get through 1

03:02

Timothy for another reason altogether. I'm doing a Bible study. I can't remember what it was. There was something

03:07

I wanted to know. But when I saw this first, this verse 5 here,

03:13

I couldn't get past it. I couldn't get to verse 6. Something about it was just so compelling.

03:20

I couldn't take my eyes off it. As a matter of fact, I went to my mentor, who was the senior pastor at my church at the time, and I asked him about it.

03:27

I said, hey, you know, there's this passage, there's this verse that I'm reading in 1 Timothy 1 .5. I can't take my eyes off it.

03:34

And he's very Southern, but he smiled at me. He said, Nate, just keep staring at it, you know?

03:41

Which didn't help me at all in the moment. But I must have gone back and read and re -read that verse for like two weeks.

03:50

And then finally, a couple weeks later, I'm standing in front of the young adult community one night.

03:55

So this is the group that I was pastoring. And they were talking to each other, trying to answer a

04:02

Bible question that I'd asked them, and that verse came to mind again. But now, I'm looking at them.

04:08

I'm looking at all of them. And I realized in that moment, oh, God wants me to see these people through the lens of what

04:16

Paul wrote. And then I started thinking, like, okay, do I really love these people?

04:23

You know? Is my goal or my aim with them, does that come out of a love that flows from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith?

04:33

And I got convicted, Marshall, because my answer at the time was no. I had to honestly admit that was not the case for me.

04:44

But that marked a change in me because after that, I purposed to really love these people well.

04:51

And I grew as a pastor from then on. But this type of thing, you know, where God has taken important verses or passages and forced me to stare at them, this has happened over and over and over again throughout different seasons in my life.

05:07

So right now, I'm currently staring at Matthew 4 .4, which is also just a reiteration of Deuteronomy 8 .4,

05:15

you know? So look at this. Matthew 4 .4, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

05:26

So this is the moment that Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness. And if you notice, he only responds to the devil's temptations with Scripture, right?

05:36

This was the first temptation that the devil tried to hit him with. And Jesus quotes

05:42

Deuteronomy 8. But this has become, this particular verse has become a way of seeing the world around me and using the

05:52

Scripture to interpret the world. The way I've started characterizing it is like this, you know, the

05:58

Christian has to become a good reader of three books. The book of God's Word, the book of creation, and the book of mankind.

06:07

And the way we should understand and interpret those last two books is with the first book.

06:14

Amen? As a matter of fact, I started a second channel here, you know, and it's purely a deep dive

06:21

Bible study. And I've called it Every Word because I see it right here.

06:28

Precisely because of what Jesus told the devil in the wilderness. So, you know, if you love this kind of stuff,

06:34

Marshall, you should check out my Bible study over at Every Word. Or all of you. The link for that is in the notes.

06:40

Thank you for the question, Marshall. Let's go to Ryan Hewlett.

06:46

What's up, Ryan? Ryan asks, I'd love to hear your take. He doesn't ask. He tells me.

06:52

I'd love to hear your take on Romans 2 .14. Okay. Well, let's go there for reference. Romans 2 .14.

07:00

So, right here, this is Romans 2. The Apostle Paul is actually, he's making a greater point here about God's judgment.

07:10

He says, look at this in verse 12. All have sinned, all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law.

07:18

And all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. Now, I don't know if you can feel this,

07:25

Ryan. This is a huge theological statement to make. Particularly when you consider the point here.

07:31

You know, Paul is explaining why everyone is condemned. Actually, let me back up for a second.

07:36

So, we have to understand Paul's comments. We have to hear them through the lens of a

07:46

Gentile. Right? Through the lens of a Jew. Try to understand how they would be hearing this, right?

07:52

Because there is a distinction in the community between these two camps. And we've seen this play out, you know, in the book of Acts, as both

08:01

Jew and Gentile try to figure out what it looks like to worship and obey Jesus Christ. And this all sort of comes to a head in Acts chapter 15 where we see

08:10

Messianic Jews, right? Completed Jews, in other words. Jews who had found their

08:16

Messiah in Jesus. They had no desire to end all of the deep traditions that God established with Israel.

08:24

Certainly, you know, the sacrificial system was over, but some of the other traditions, right?

08:31

Circumcision, participation in the festivals, which, by the way, all of those things point to Christ in one way or another.

08:39

I mean, shoot, if you look at, you know, the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, it actually tracks the harvest cycles, which aligns to the

08:48

Feast of Firstfruits and the Feast of Weeks. These are Jewish festivals that find their fulfillment in Christ's sacrificial death as well as his pouring out of the

08:58

Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, you know? So that's what I mean. Like, the traditions point to the work of Christ, in other words.

09:07

And I actually talk about this more at length in my study of the Book of Acts on Patreon right now, so you can check that out, too.

09:14

That's for free. Anyway, the point I'm making here is there's a real question about how

09:22

God's judgment applies to people, particularly those who do not have Torah. They are

09:28

Gentiles with no access to God's law, you know, the way that the Jews do. And so Paul says, well, you know, the

09:34

Gentiles are judged just as much as the Jews are. Huh? Why is that?

09:40

Well, because everyone sins. Can you see that? There are some who sin with no knowledge of Torah, and there are those who sin with complete knowledge of Torah.

09:51

Everyone sins. As a matter of fact, if you just keep reading, like, Paul literally says that in Romans 3, right?

10:00

But then Paul says something it's a little confusing. It's very wordy, right?

10:05

So Paul is long -winded, and he likes to talk this way. So this is what he says.

10:11

Take a look at verse 13. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

10:20

Now, Paul is going to finish this sentence down in verse 16, okay, all the way down here, but before he gets to verse 16, he's going to throw in this incredibly long parenthetical statement.

10:37

And, you know, we sit here and we read that, and it tends to muddy up the clarity a bit on his flow of thought on the original statement.

10:48

But actually, I think it helps as an exercise, Ryan, to read verse 13 and 16 together so we can follow the flow of thought.

10:58

Okay? So let's do that. Watch this. Verse 13. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified on that day when according to my gospel,

11:11

God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. So notice that word in verse 13, justified.

11:22

That's actually the first time that Paul uses that word in Romans. So what

11:28

Paul is doing is he's setting up an apparent problem, particularly from the

11:36

Gentiles who are hearing this, because the question they're probably asking themselves is, wait a second, how can

11:42

God judge us? Or on the other hand, how can God justify us when we don't even know what

11:47

His law is? That's the question that Paul appears to be engaging in some sense.

11:54

And the answer, according to Paul, is not just that everyone sins, okay?

12:00

Because they do, right? But guess what? Much of God's law is written right on the hearts of Gentiles already, such that they know the law whether they want to admit it or not.

12:11

This actually informs this long parenthetical statement that is basically verses 14 and 15.

12:18

Okay, take a look at this. For when Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.

12:30

They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, there it is, while their conscience also bears witness in their conflicting thoughts, accuse or even excuse them.

12:41

So in other words, Paul is saying Gentiles know the law. Maybe not the whole thing, but they know enough.

12:48

It's on their hearts. The fact that they follow this law proves that they know it. Whether they know, you know, which specific commandment it is or not in the long list of laws that the

13:02

Jews have, it doesn't matter. Deep down, they know the law, the Gentiles. This is why we

13:09

Christians, we make the distinction between three categories of the Jewish law. Have you heard of this? I may have said this before in previous videos.

13:17

There is the civil law, right? The ceremonial law, and then there is the moral law.

13:23

It's that third category, that last category that is universal and it applies to everyone because everyone knows it deep down.

13:33

And that's the point that Paul is making here. Now, I mean, he says it in a kind of awkward way, you know?

13:40

So, for example, my translation says, you know, for when Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, right?

13:50

In other words, Gentiles don't have Torah. They don't follow the teachings or traditions of the

13:55

Jews, but guess what? By their nature, they still obey Torah, you know? That's the point he's making.

14:02

It's on their hearts. The universal moral law is right there.

14:07

It's right there, and they know it. But then Paul also says something odd, a little odd to our ears.

14:16

He says that the Gentiles are a law to themselves. Well, what does that mean, right?

14:21

Well, he's making, he's still making the same point. He's saying that Gentiles prove they know the law by obeying the law.

14:29

Even though they don't have the written law, they are a Torah to themselves because the universal moral law is written on their hearts.

14:39

And this actually sets Paul up to talk further about justification, which ends up becoming a key point that he wants to drive home over the next few chapters.

14:49

I hope that helps, Ryan. Thank you for the question. Let's go to Edwin Williamson.

15:01

Edwin Williamson is a Patreon member. Thank you. Ryan's Patreon, Edwin is

15:07

Patreon. Thank you for the support, Edwin. So you see a problem with Christian mysticism. Do you see a problem with Christian mysticism sneaking into the church?

15:15

Writers like Dallas Willard, Richard Rohr, John Mark Comer. Well, that's interesting.

15:23

You've put Dallas Willard next to Richard Rohr, Edwin. And then,

15:30

I mean, yeah, I'm not even very familiar with John Mark Comer at all. What's the book that he,

15:38

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, right? Never read it. You know, not in a hurry to.

15:45

Ah, come on, somebody. Somebody can cosign that dad joke. All right. I should end the stream right now.

15:51

That was horrible. Let me back up. Dallas Willard is not someone

15:57

I would thoroughly dismiss, Edwin. I certainly would not dismiss Dallas Willard in the way that I would

16:04

Richard Rohr, you know. So, for example, The Divine Conspiracy is actually a pretty solid book on discipleship, you know what

16:13

I mean? But I do know that a lot of Christians have a problem with Willard's advocacy for certain things, like contemplative prayer, you know.

16:24

Anyway, so let me just zoom out, and if I could just handle this more broadly, okay? And I'm going to try to be careful with my words here, all right?

16:34

The life of the Christian necessarily entails an emotional experience.

16:42

It necessarily entails it. Now, I already can hear some of my more staunch

16:47

Christian brothers getting their dander up, all right? You know, what's he talking about? Is he talking about some hippie nonsense and some mystical garbage?

16:56

No. I'm not at all. Do you remember the characterization of the early church in Acts chapter 2?

17:04

Actually, take a look at this with me, right? Acts chapter 2, right towards the bottom there,

17:11

I want you to see something here. Verse 43, and awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

17:21

Okay? Notice, Edwin, the early Christians were filled with awe.

17:27

And why? It's because the wonders and the signs of the Lord that were being performed through the apostles.

17:33

Now, the only reason I bring that up is because this formula is also found in the Old Testament.

17:39

The Israelites themselves were filled with awe, or fear, actually, because of the wonders and signs of God's presence.

17:46

Look at Exodus chapter 14 with me. It says in verse 31, Israel saw the great power that the

17:53

Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord. And they believed in the

17:59

Lord, and in his servant Moses. That word, feared, it means to stand in awe.

18:07

To feel reverence for. And it's because of the power of God. It's because of the manifestation of God before their very eyes.

18:17

So, what I'm pointing out here is, you know, to be a Christian, to be someone who is in relationship with your

18:26

Creator, it entails emotions. It entails the very things that God created.

18:32

I mean, you realize, you know, God made you to have emotions. Sometimes I say it like this when

18:39

I go around and give talks, you know, you and I are the intersection of both intellect and emotion. That means that your emotions have a purpose, and they should be felt.

18:51

At the appropriate times, in the appropriate ways, you know. But nevertheless,

18:59

I mean, why wouldn't you sense or feel emotions due to your closeness with God, right?

19:07

I mean, look at how David puts it in Psalm 16. He says, "...you

19:12

make known to me the path of life. In your presence there is," here it is, "...fullness

19:18

of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

19:23

You know? And I would propose, Edwin, this is not meant to be allegorized, or what is it?

19:32

Metaphorized? Is that even a word? Just a way and a way into meaninglessness. David is talking about a tangible, felt human experience due to God's presence, right?

19:43

Look at those key phrases. "...fullness of joy. Pleasures forevermore."

19:48

You know? Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is, my concern for a lot of us is, because we are so concerned about the

19:58

Richard Roars and the John Mark Comers—again, I'm not familiar with him—but I think we should be rightfully concerned, you know?

20:07

We should be concerned about Christian mysticism, so I want you to hear what I'm not saying. But because of this concern, we may be shutting the door on a full experience of what it means to be a

20:17

Christian. Now, I feel like somebody needs to hear me say it one more time for the back row, okay? So let me say this.

20:23

I absolutely reject New Age pagan mysticism. It is incompatible with God's Word. It leads to all kinds of spiritual danger.

20:30

So don't hear me defending mysticism. I'm not. I just personally know too many people in the

20:36

Church who have—they have shrunken down, they have reduced down the life of the

20:42

Christian to a series of propositions that they believe. And that's not what it means to be a Christian.

20:48

To be a Christian is to covenant with God, the One who made you. To enter into a spiritual bond that resembles a loving marriage relationship—that's why you've heard me say many times before that marriage speaks theology, you know?

21:06

This is the testimony of the Bible all over the place, particularly the New Testament. And if you really let it sink in, you know, sink in down deep, of course, this kind of dynamic should include all of your emotions.

21:22

It should include a real felt experience of God, not just a propositional knowledge that He exists.

21:30

That's why David says this, Psalm 34, Oh, taste and see that the

21:35

Lord is good. This is an invitation to not just know that God exists, but to experience

21:43

His presence and His goodness in tangible ways. Amen. Thank you for the question,

21:49

Edward. Got a question from Armand Starks. Armand, I'm malfunctioning.

21:59

Here we go. Armand asked this question, also from the Patreon. Thank you, Armand. How old were the disciples and what did that mean for the ministry?

22:07

Yeah, great question, Armand. So, what you're touching on is actually a greater discussion that Christians are having, and there's kinds of back and forth on this, in -house discussion, if you will, on the age of the disciples.

22:21

As it turns out, many Christians believe that Jesus' disciples were actually really young, as in teenagers.

22:31

Young teenagers, in the age range between 13 and maybe all the way up to 20. Now, I'll go ahead and get to the punchline here.

22:38

That's what I think as well. There are a number of reasons to suggest that the disciples were really young.

22:46

I should also let you hear me say I could be wrong about this, I don't know. But let me just give you the rationale and then you go away and chew on it.

22:54

There are four pieces to consider that I think are noteworthy. Number one, and we have to remember this, formal

23:01

Torah obligations were completed for young Jews by the age of 13. So, just remember that, file that away.

23:10

And also, I should say, the best of the best students were chosen by rabbis to continue education by the age of 15.

23:19

File that away. Here's another noteworthy piece to consider. Grown men who already had established trades did not continue their education.

23:33

Teenagers were the ones that continued education through rabbinical mentoring, through that kind of discipleship structure that we witness in the first century with Jesus.

23:42

As a matter of fact, most disciples began traveling with a rabbi at the age of 15 or 16.

23:51

Here's something else to consider, okay? Bachelors in the

23:56

Jewish culture were socially frowned upon. Therefore, it was Jewish custom to be arranged in marriage by the age of 18.

24:05

Now, think about this. How many disciples were actually married? Peter is the only disciple that we know of that was married.

24:13

Remember, Jesus visits Peter's mother -in -law in Matthew 8. Okay? So, try to put all of these pieces together and see what is the best explanation for this, right?

24:24

Finally, Jesus describes—this is interesting, although this is probably the least compelling out of the four.

24:31

So, granted, right? Jesus described his disciples as little ones in Matthew 10 .42.

24:38

He also calls them little children. I think that's in John 13.

24:45

In both cases, those terms are synonymous with the disciples. So, that's why

24:53

I and many others think that the disciples were somewhere in their teenage years, probably between 13 and 20 years old.

25:01

And I think this makes sense of some of the stories that we read about them, you know? Have you ever noticed,

25:06

Armand, when you read the Gospels, that the disciples, they often come across as brash, you know?

25:16

As unaware, as immature at times, you know what

25:21

I mean? Well, maybe it's because they were really super young. So, for example, in Luke chapter 9 and Luke chapter 22, it says that the disciples were arguing about who was the greatest.

25:33

Do you remember this? And Jesus had to correct them both times, you know, explaining that whoever is least among them is great.

25:40

Okay? Even when, think about this, James and John came to Jesus and said, please let us sit at your right hand.

25:47

Remember this? At your left in the kingdom. I want to be on the right and left, right? And Jesus had to say, you don't know what you're asking me.

25:54

You remember that it was their mother who brought them to Jesus and stepped in and spoke up and advocated for them?

26:01

Why would she do that? Perhaps it's because they were so young. Remember those two times that there were these incredibly heavy storms across the

26:11

Sea of Galilee and both of those times the disciples were like just scared out of their minds, right?

26:17

One time they even thought Jesus was a ghost. Also one of those times Peter just jumps right out of the boat before even thinking about it.

26:25

You know? Just let this sink in here, guys. Think of how many times

26:32

Jesus got frustrated with his disciples just repeating himself over and over again.

26:38

Maybe some of that wasn't actually a lack of intelligence. Maybe some of that was just a lack of maturity.

26:46

Remember the part where Jesus even gets to the point where he says to them, how much longer must I put up with you?

26:52

Right? Because they lacked the faith necessary to cast out a demon. I mean, shoot, they lived three years together and they couldn't even figure out that there was a devil in their midst.

27:03

Perhaps it's because they were just really young teenagers. Alright?

27:09

So let me just say this. I could be wrong. It's just a theory. Okay? But even if it is wrong, the

27:17

Jewish attitude about young people still prevailed in the first century, and that attitude was, Jewish boys are old enough to take on adult religious responsibilities by the time that they're 13.

27:28

So think about that. You didn't ask me this question, Armand, but I'm going to go here, okay? Think about the application question today, for those of us who are parents.

27:36

Or, we are entrusted with influencing the next generation. Pastor, right? Are we properly training our young children to take on the full adult responsibilities of the commandments of God?

27:50

Remember, if the disciples were teenagers, that means Jesus was preparing young children, basically, to take the gospel to the whole world after his ascension.

27:59

And I mean young children in the sense that we would consider them young today. You know? Look, I used to teach 15 and 16 year olds in the classrooms.

28:08

Before I did this, I was a pastor. Before that, I was a high school teacher. And the running joke was, sophomores are the worst!

28:16

Sorry if you're a sophomore. I mean, you know, if you're a sophomore and you're watching my videos, and I'm obviously not talking about you, okay?

28:24

So, just granted, right? The typical sophomores that I engaged with in the classroom, they were arrogant, they were immature.

28:32

You could see it on their face. They came in because they had one year down in high school and they thought they were kings and queens of the entire campus.

28:39

They just got everything figured out. Some of them hadn't even noticed that they just need to bathe in deodorant.

28:46

Just actually crawl right inside the deodorant can and live there for a while.

28:53

You know what I mean? But there are, having said that, there are also these wonderful moments, you know, that were very inspiring where I would see wisdom.

29:03

I would see the light bulbs come on. These fleeting moments where they connected with real -world lessons that existed in the classroom.

29:10

And they were beginning to understand some of the deeper truths about humanity and life and each other.

29:16

And it's just kind of, it's all bundled up in this package, you know? It's this package that also contains this brashness, that also contains this unawareness and this immaturity that,

29:29

God willing, will one day fade as they put on adulthood, right? Are we properly training our young children to take on the full responsibilities of the commandments of God?

29:39

Because the ancient view of young people, which was possibly Jesus' view of the disciples, was that by the time that they were 13, they had what they needed to live fully under the commandments of God and go change the world.

29:53

So let's not miss the boat on this, ladies and gentlemen. Let's train our children, by the time they are teenagers, to be able to know what the

30:00

Bible teaches, why it is true, and how to communicate their faith so that they can know God intimately and fulfill the

30:06

Great Commission. Amen? Thank you for the question, Armand, and let's move into the last question here.

30:13

The last. Let's go to Anna Camila de la

30:18

Cruz. Very good. Anna has... This looks like three questions.

30:24

Okay. So if... Question. If God is omnipresent, is His presence in hell?

30:29

Okay. Question. If God's presence is in hell, what is the point of having heaven and hell?

30:36

And finally, if God's presence is not in hell, would that mean God is not omnipresent?

30:43

One that presents a problem, right? Doesn't it? For Christianity? Okay. So thank you for the very light, easy question,

30:50

Anna. Thank you so much because... Let me just go ahead and tell you at the outset,

30:55

I don't know. I don't know. You know what I mean? Partly because I don't see the

31:04

Scriptures explicitly dealing with this question. At best, we're probably inferring something, inferring an answer or a position based on what

31:13

Scripture says, but it's not going to be speaking directly to this issue. But let me be real with you,

31:20

Anna. I have thought about this question, so why don't we just... I'm not 100 % on any sort of position here.

31:27

I'm just going to relay what others have said on the subject and just kind of tell you where I'm at with this because I'm still wrestling with it currently.

31:36

So let's just wrestle with it together. Alright? So there are a couple of people... Let me just say this right off the bat.

31:43

I got so excited I hit my mic. Let me just say this. There are a couple of people to read. Wayne Grudem has some good stuff on this.

31:51

J .I. Packer as well. R .C. Sproul. Even D .A. Carson. So Carson is pretty much my go -to guy for biblical commentary.

32:01

I love him. I love Schreiner. A few others. Anyway, so for example, if you look at...

32:09

Let's do this. Let's go to 2 Thessalonians chapter 1. Okay?

32:14

Here's the passage. Watch how it applies because we're talking about God's presence, whether or not

32:22

God's presence is in hell, right? Look at what Paul says. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the

32:30

Lord and from the glory of His might. Okay? So what Paul is saying is those who do not obey

32:35

Jesus, right? So that's basically verse 8. Those who do not obey the gospel, who do not know

32:42

God, essentially, they will suffer punishment away from the presence of the

32:47

Lord. That's what Paul is saying. But Carson points this out. The language of away from the presence of the

32:54

Lord speaks of being excluded from God's blessing and joy, not from His sovereign rule.

33:03

You gotta think about that, Anna. Alright? Notice that Paul...look

33:08

at this. Paul says people will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction. Whose punishment is that?

33:16

Anybody in the chat? It's the Lord's punishment. So think about this.

33:21

They're experiencing God's eternal punishment, but also somehow away from His presence. How can both things happen at the same time?

33:29

It's because this is not talking about God's total presence. This is talking about the aspects of His presence that entail favor and blessing and joy.

33:40

I mean, you can even see how this ends. Paul ends the verse this way, and from the glory of His might.

33:47

So in other words, people will be separated from that, from God's glory. So there's a distinction here of the type of presence that people will experience.

33:56

God's presence will actually be in hell, Anna. But it's going to be the presence of His punishment, the presence of His judgment and His righteousness as it relates to these things.

34:08

But His grace, His favor, His blessings, the glory of His might, right?

34:13

The glory of God? That's not going to be in hell. That will be with His people who have embraced

34:19

Him and love Him. So if you're picking up on the distinction here,

34:24

Anna, Christians will say that God's presence manifests differently in different places.

34:34

As a matter of fact, this is probably why the psalmist can say this, right? Psalm 139, where shall

34:39

I go from your spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? The answer is nowhere. I mean, that's the implicit answer.

34:47

If I ascend to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. See, this kind of passage affirms the omnipresence of God, right?

34:58

And we affirm that, by the way, as Christians who take this scripture seriously. And so that must mean that in some sense

35:05

God's presence is in hell. But the aspects of His presence that entail promises to His children, right, those who love

35:13

Him and follow after Jesus Christ, those aspects will not be in hell. By the way, this concept happened on a smaller scale.

35:24

It kind of played out a little bit for us. So if you actually look at So I'm not going to read this. I'm going to close.

35:29

But if you actually look at Ezekiel chapter 10, Anna, read the whole chapter, and actually beyond chapter 10, you'll see that the glory of the

35:38

Lord actually gets up and leaves the temple. Now this is necessary because Jesus is going to return and re -enter the same gate that the

35:47

Lord leaves in Ezekiel, and that's another wonderful Bible study for another time, okay? But the point is, did

35:54

God's omnipresence leave the temple? No. Because that's impossible. But the glory of the

36:00

Lord, the desirable aspects of His presence that entails His kindness, His blessings, His favor, that got up and left.

36:08

And Ezekiel watched Him go. And it's that kind of distinction that Christians make with regard to God's presence in hell.

36:16

Hope that helps, Anna. Thank you for the question. Let me say this. I got some really super cool videos for you next week, and we're just chugging right along here.
