Matt Slick Depress-chatology Q&A - 4-26-17

And more. This is the biggest class we've had here. I'm getting calls at the office. We're getting emails about it. Come on, more eschatology. And so I'm going to be having to study this more because that's what people want to hear, want to tickle their ears with eschatology.

So we're going to see what's going to happen, all right? So I'll be studying it. But next week, Apostasy of the Church, which I'm going to really like going through, and then Apostasy in our society, the rise of paganism in our culture.

I'm going to go through some of that stuff too. And hopefully we'll have some more cool graphics and things. Oh, yes. Okay, good. So I don't have all the answers to all the stuff. So if you ask me questions and I repeatedly go, I don't know yet.

I'm not sure yet. So you're just going to have to bear with me. I don't study this stuff all the time. You ask me about the Hypostatic Union and how it relates to the Communicatio Idiomatum and Imputation and Propitiation.

No sweat. But some of this eschatology stuff, where's the rebuilt temple go? In Jerusalem? You know, be answers like that. Okay. So if you want to come up and ask a question from in here, you got to come up over to there, that tape and that camera and the microphone will pick it up.

And that's so that the people online, I don't know how many people we got online watching, but we got a lot of questions apparently. And it's open to any topic. It doesn't have to be eschatological. It can be any topic because we talk about all kinds of stuff.

So if you want to know how to make better cookies, ask me. Let's see what kind of answer you get. What? Acetates are gone, but stuff like that. So we'll see. Okay. Anybody here got a question? Got to come up to the mic.

Okay. Let's see if you can stump me. It won't be hard. You look like Eddie Munster. See, it's right there. The hair thing. That's what it is. It's okay. Don't worry. Yeah.

I got a question. Could you run through, uh, because it's kind of a hot topic right now in Christendom, penal substitution and soul feeding in regards to the whole Orthodox church thing.

Going on right now. All right. Penal substitution is a legal substitutionary atonement of Christ. Okay. First of all, first John four, three sin is breaking the law of God. So sin is a transgression of the law.

So because it's a breaking of the law, then law requires a punishment and God must punish. And if he does not punish, then he is ignoring his own law and he is unrighteous. We can't have that. So God in his righteousness must fulfill his own law.

All right. So we are not able to fulfill the law because this requirement of the law is perfection. Deuteronomy 27, 26, which is quoted by Paul in Galatians three, 10, that you are obligated to keep all the law and to stumble in one point is to stumble in all of it.

And the standard is perfection. You can go to a Matthew five, 48, be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect in the context of loving everybody. Also go to James two, 10, which talks about, uh, if you fail in one area, you fail in all of them.

Someone's phone is on and they're embarrassed. That's all right. It's okay. It happens. And so we have this issue, the legality of, of, uh, the atoning work. So Jesus was made under the law, Galatians four, four, and he lowered himself, or I should say, he emptied himself, taking the form of a man, Philippians two, five through eight.

He cooperated with the limitations of being a man and therefore he would grow in wisdom, Luke two, 52. So he was under the law, had to fulfill the law, which he did at his baptism, entering into Melchizedek priesthood.

We can go into that old Testament requirement and what he was doing. But so when we get to the issue of our sin and the necessity for our sin to be forgiven, the law of God must be satisfied. If it's not satisfied, we can't be forgiven.

God says the day that you eat of this fruit, you will die, Genesis two, 17. He's showing us that the breaking of the law has a punishment. The wages of sin is death, Romans six, 23. The soul that sins shall die, Isaiah 59, 2.

So we see that law is what we have to look at here. Sin is breaking the law of God. Sin is also a legal debt. And our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Forgive us our debts, is Matthew 6, 12. Forgive us our sins, is Luke 11, 4. Jesus equates sin with legal debt. Jesus was made under the law and in John 19, 30, he said it is finished. The Greek word is tetelestai, which has been found on the bottom of ancient tax receipts signifying a legal debt been paid in full.

On the cross he said tetelestai. What happened on the cross? Since sin is a legal problem, not only a legal problem, but it's a legal problem, and sin can be transferred, or debts can be transferred, then our sin debt was transferred to Christ.

First Peter 2, 24. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross that we might die to sin and live to righteousness, for by his stripes we are healed. So he bore our sin in his body on the cross. That's how he became sin.

Second Corinthians 5, 17. So as we look at this issue of the legality of sin, laying the issue out, sin's breaking the law of God, 1 John 4, 3, 3, 4. And we are not able to fulfill the law perfectly. So we need someone to come and take our place to fulfill the law.

That's out of Isaiah 53, verses 4, 5, and 6. He took our stripes, took our place. So our sin debt was transferred to him. So this is what happens. This is him on the cross. Here's you, born now, born tomorrow, whatever, 2 ,000 year difference, it's irrelevant.

Your sin is transferred to Jesus. Okay? First Peter 2, 24. Your sin's transferred to Christ. Then the wages of sin is death, right? And Jesus died. The law is fulfilled in Christ. Now, he died, he rose from the dead.

We have faith. Now, it says in Romans 3, 28, we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. You can also go to Romans chapter 4, verses 1 through 5, but basically verse 5, to the one who does not work but believes his faith has reckoned his righteousness.

So this is called justification. Okay? Justification is the declaration of legal, of righteousness. It's a legal standing. So, Jesus on the cross bore our sin in his body on the cross, and he died satisfying the law, and he rose from the dead, showing the sacrifice was sufficient.

That means our sin is removed. Now, if you go to Colossians 2, 14, it says, having canceled out the certificate of debt, the kairagraphon, the kairagraphon, right? Uh, I'm messing up. No, it's like this.

Okay. The kairagraphon, mess up on that one better. The kairagraphon, and what this is, is hand graphe, the handwriting of ordinances. That's why the King James says, blotting out the handwriting. Some say the handwriting of transgressions, whatever.

The handwriting of ordinances. This is a hapex legomena. It occurs only once in the entire Bible. So this word right here, Colossians 2, 14, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees, which was hostile to us, he took it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

So when did he cancel it? At the cross. He did not cancel it when you believe. He did not cancel it when you are baptized. It's canceled 2 ,000 years ago at the cross. Who did he cancel it for? Everybody?

Only for the elect. He canceled it for everybody who ever lives. Everybody has to go to heaven because the sin debt doesn't exist anymore. You can't go to hell for a sin debt that's been canceled. Colossians 2, 14 says, having canceled the certificate of debt.

Canceled. It's gone. This is legal. If a man goes to pay a debt but it's been paid by somebody else, he can't be held responsible for that debt if it's been canceled. It's been blotted out. You can't go to hell for a sin debt that's been canceled.

I know a lot of people don't agree with that. It doesn't make any sense any other way. And if you say that it's only made possible that Christ's blood was for everybody and he bore the sin debt of everybody and he canceled it, but it's up to you to receive it, you can't find that in Scripture.

You can make it up, but it's not there in the Bible. And if he did cancel the sin debt for everybody who ever lived, then God would be unrighteous for sending anybody to hell. This is hard theology, but this is biblical theology, and I'll debate anybody on it, all right?

Set it up. So here we go. He made under the law, Galatians 4, 4, he canceled our sin debt at the cross, Colossians 2, 14. He bore our sin in his body on the cross, waged us in his death. He met the requirement of the law.

We are though therefore justified by faith. So the righteousness of Christ is given to us upon faith. We have a righteousness that is not our own. Philippians 3, 9. The righteousness of Christ. So your sin, his righteousness, double imputation.

Our sin is imputed, reckoned to his account. His righteousness is imputed to us, reckoned to our account. Legal, legal, legal, legal. Sin is a legal problem, not only, but it is. Jesus was under the law, legally satisfy the law.

He canceled the certificate of debt, the legal thing. It's canceled. Sin debt's canceled. He couldn't have canceled it for everybody, because if he canceled for everybody, everybody has to go to heaven.

Period. Well, you don't believe it. Not believing it is a sin. Required to believe in God. Exodus 20 is part of the law. So that's what penal substitution is, that Jesus took our legal place by fulfilling the requirements of the law.

That's the biblical position. And I'll go so far as to say it's the right position. And if you disagree, that's okay. You're entitled to be wrong and inconsistent, and believe what you want, and bow to the traditions of men, and say no.

He bore the sin of everybody who ever lived, and yet it's up to you, in the wisdom of your heart, to believe in God and trust, and it's up to you, because it's up to you. I didn't get into that. That's another problem in the church today, and I'm going to probably be getting into that issue next week, and the apostasy of man-centered humanism that's taken precedence over the sovereignty of God within the church.

I'm going to be stepping on toes next week. Say a lot of things that would be hard for a lot of people to hear. That was the first part of your question. What was the second part? Sola Fide. Right? Sola Fide, which is faith alone.

The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, right? The free gift is the word charismata, charismatic, as in gift. Now, we can only receive that by faith.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, Romans 5 .1, we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law, Romans 3 .28. I'm thinking ahead of myself here, because there's some other verses I want to get into.

So, faith alone means we're trusting in what God has done, not what we do. Have any of you ever done a perfect work, perfect in your heart, perfect in your intention? No. Definitely no. That's the standard of perfection.

Be holy for I am holy, 1 Peter 1 .16. The standard is God's level, not man's. That's humanism. Humanism says we bow to the ability of man, and then God lowers his standard for us. That's humanism, and it's all over the church.

It's rampant in the church. And because of it, we don't bow to the sovereign king and his will. We want him to bow to ours. We can get whatever we want, because that's our nature. Sola fide means we can trust only by faith in what God has done, because nothing that we have is pure, nothing.

And he even grants that we believe, Philippians 1 .29. They asked him, what must we do to work the works of God? And Jesus says, this is the work of God that you believe on whom he has sent, John 6 .28 .29.

To many as received him, to them he gave the right to be called the children of God, who were born not of the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God. Not of their own will, even. It even says not of their own will.

You don't have the ability in your sinfulness as an unbeliever to come to Christ on your own. You don't. 1 Corinthians 2 .14. The natural man cannot receive or accept the things of God for their foolishness to him.

He cannot. The harsh, desperately wicked, deceitful cannot be trusted, Jeremiah 17 .9. No one seeks for God. No one does good, Romans 3 .10 .11 .12. The heart's full of murders and adulteries and thefts and fornications and all kinds of evil, Marks 7 .22 and 23.

Our righteous deeds are filthy rags used menstrual cloths before God, Isaiah 64 .6. We've got nothing to offer God. So he gives us everything that we need and his sovereignty. He elected us before the foundation of the world, Ephesians 1 verses 4 and 5.

And then he grants to us through the kindness and the mercy of his gracious love that's found in the blood of Christ. He then grants to us the deliverance from our sins. He does it through the substitutionary, precarious atonement of Christ Jesus on the cross.

That's the only way any of us can ever be saved. And everything else is heresy.

Next. Ladies first. All right. Okay, so you did the chart, this age, age to come, and you listed Jesus' return, judgment of the wicked, harvest, resurrection, day of the Lord. But I didn't see where you listed Revelation 20, the thousand year, where Satan is bound.

Satan is bound according to.

Jesus in Matthew 12, 22 -32. He says that in order to plunder the strongman's house by casting out demons, he must first be bound. So he says that he was bound because Jesus was doing exactly what he said would be the case if Satan were bound.

So that's Matthew 12, 22 -32. Plus, if you go to Revelation 20, it says that the angel came down with a key and a chain. Not a literal key, not a literal angel. And he had the key to the bottomless pit.

Is it a bottomless pit? No, but it represents something that's true. And took hold of the dragon, which is not literal, who is a serpent, not literal, who is a devil, literal. Okay, and bound him for a thousand years.

So is it literal or figurative when it says a thousand? And that's the question we have to ask because the context has figurative usage in it. Plus, God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, or about a thousand and one.

And a day's about a thousand years, a thousand years about a day. So he uses the term one thousand often in a figurative context. And since it's in Revelation, Revelation 20, which is symbolic, then we could say it's a symbolic spirit of time.

Particularly when we see this age and age to come, what comes to pass, leaves no room for the millennium. What converted me to amillennialism was two verses. And I was in El Cajon, California, San Diego County, and about, I don't know, I don't know, in the 80s.

And some guy, you know, he says, hey, I got these verses I want you to read. What's it about? I'm not telling you. Why not? I'm not telling you. Well, wait, you want to read them? Yeah, what's it about?

I'm not telling you. Just read them. And I read through, you know, the day the Lord will come like a thief in the night. You know, we read this out of 1 Thessalonians 4, chapter 16. He'll descend from heaven, right?

And that's a rapture. The day of the Lord come like a thief in the night. The rapture come like a thief in the night. And then he took me over to 2 Peter 3 .10. The day of the Lord come like a thief in which the heavens are melted.

And I went, no millennium. Just like that. He goes, I know. And that's how I got converted to amillennialism. He just had me read the verses. And when I saw that, because this is what it is, this is a thousand year right here.

And this is the new heavens here, right? And this is the rapture here. We got a thousand years in here. And yet the day of the Lord that comes like a thief, same time, gone. So if you go to that chart, I hate to say go to a chart, but Dispies go to charts, go to the chart, the Dispies chart, just go to the grid and just put the scriptures together and see what they tell you.

I hate, it's like somebody who says, I hate labels. Oh, so you're an anti-labeler, huh? What's that? The coalition, the band coalitions. That's right. Now, what everybody's been taught, most everybody's been that we're going to go through, look, this is what's really comfortable.

Come on. Look at this. This is what's comfortable. All right. We live in the USA. We have everything we need. Everything, right? Everything. Right there. Everything we need. Okay. We don't deserve to have any persecution because we're Americans.

And we know it's going to get bad and it's going to happen in the thousand year, the future. And there's going to be a seven year period before that. And we're taken out here. Boy, that feels good. That's comfortable.

You could sell that and Reverend Slick could sell it. I could sell it because I sold it. No, but because, because it's marketable, it's comforting.

Right. And we had, you know, Jonathan Edwards and Spurgeon, these great evangelistic crusades. So everybody's like, we're all getting saved.

And that's, I think part of it too. Right. A lot of our culture determines a lot of times what we, how we interpret the scriptures. But, you know, I have Asperger's and I think it's a real advantage in a lot of areas.

And Asperger's is an autism spectrum problem. And so I'm not really good socially except I learned how to be good socially. I don't have as many emotional needs as others have and things like that. But my mom and dad taught me something that's very valuable to me, which I've rarely talked about.

We moved a great deal. And my mom and dad, let's just say, had an attitude. I want to say of self-superiority, but they had an attitude of self-sufficiency and they had this attitude of don't follow the crowd.

Don't follow the crowd. I remember being inculcated with this over and over and over and over and over. Don't follow the crowd. The crowd believes it. So what? And it occurred to me very early on just because the crowd believes such and such doesn't mean it's true.

I'm very comfortable with standing up in front of a group and going, well, I don't know if I agree with that. Not to be recalcitrant. It's just, I don't know if I agree with that. And I can say it. It doesn't bother me.

And so it's cost me a great deal. And I got stories, but it has cost me a great deal, a great deal. Boy, has it. But at the same time, I'm not loyal to anything except Jesus. So if someone says, look, Matt, I can prove your all male thing is wrong.

Okay. I don't go, Oh no, you can't. It's like, okay, no. Yeah, you can. Sure. You got to come up, ask a follow-up to it. Yeah. No, you should be proper Presbyterians. Presbyterianism is a true biblical, whatever.

Even I get tired of my stupidity sometimes. Hey, I like that one. I like Preparatorians.

All right. We're Preparatorians too. All right.

Okay. Okay. So Revelation 20 continues and the thousand year reign is bracketed by.

Resurrections of people, right? The first resurrection, some say, or maybe the, uh, the time when we're born again, that's the first time we're born again, right? And unlike that, and then at the end of all of that stuff that happens, uh, there's another resurrection later on.

That's one of the views. See, I'm not convinced by everything I'm on in the all male side. It's.

Like, I think that's kind of weak. It's possible. The people who were in charge during the thousand year reigns are supposed to have come out with, they don't have the sick. They have not taken the.

Mark of the beast. That'd be perfect with all millennialism. So the beast, the antichrist has already been here and we haven't taken it. Oh, no, no, no. Because the thousand years is a long period of time.

And a lot of things happen at that. And towards the end of it, the Satan's let loose because he was bound by Jesus' own words. He said he was bound in Matthew 12, 22 to 32. That's something that just says that that's what it is.

So I got to go with what it says, because that's clear. When he was on earth, he was bound. He says, that's future. Yeah. Right. But this, this gets complicated. Did we get the full, did it go through full preterist views?

Full preterism is that everything is fulfilled by roughly 72 AD. And it's not without its strength in points, but it's refuted by Acts 1, 9 through 11, the return of Christ. I don't care what they say it is, because it's clear.

Then there's partial preterism, which talks about, this is why it gets so sick and complicated. Sure. Partial preterism says that, that the things that Jesus spoke of were fulfilled then and will be filled again later, but not everything necessarily identically, but that they're representative of the first coming and the second coming.

This gets really hard in some areas, but Revelation 20 is symbolic, but something actually does happen that it's representing. Well, is a thousand years a literal period of time? Some say it is. Maybe it is.

I don't see it as being so, because that grid doesn't allow it when you just go through what it says. Because if premillennialism is true, and we have a thousand year reign to come, then I'm going to just say, here's the chart, make it fit.

And you can't. It doesn't fit. Now, I'm serious. I've been doing this for 25 years, doing this presentation on this, on this all melting with a chart. I've not heard a single person refute it. One person fought against it and his arguments were just incredible.

He went all around the North Pole to get around to say something. And it was the only guy who even got halfway, halfway to start to really give a decent answer. And it wasn't very good. It's just what it says.

And so I'm not loyal to premillennialism. I'm not loyal to aumillennialism. I'm loyal to, that's what it says. I cannot see how it can be anything other than this age and the age to come. And what happens at the end of the age, the resurrection, the rapture, the elect are gathered, new heavens, new earth, it's called the day of the Lord.

If you guys want, I could postpone the heresy of the, of the church thing for one week and really go through this chart slowly and map it out. Want me to do that next week instead? Okay. So we'll postpone it.

Let's push it back and I'll go through and I will do this and I will show you bit by bit how there is no possibility for a future thousand year reign, literal thousand year reign by going through the grid, by showing you what the scriptures are.

And I've done this before here. And I'll just say, you tell me where it goes, because this is the line we use this age and the age to come. I could show me where it is. And we've done this. How many have done this with me before?

And where does everything go on this side? Everything goes over here, except for a couple of things over here. Okay. And do I make it work like that? I go, what do you guys say? They go over here, over here, over here, over here, over and over and over.

We'll, we'll do that next week. Okay. And then we'll get into the apostasy of the Christian church, which is good stuff. It's heartbreaking, but guess who, I'm going to say this, guess who's responsible.

I believe who's the, we, who's the, what the believers are more. So the men, absolutely. I'm going to tell you why I'll tell you why Adam and Eve were in the garden. They, she sinned first. She gave the fruit to Adam.

They both hid the pre-incarnate. Jesus came walking and said to the man, where are you? He didn't say Eve, what have you done? That's what I would have said. It was her. Well, that's what he did say.

Isn't it? That's what I would have done. Well, here's the woman you gave me. So I blame you. So the pre-incarnate Christ came in and said, what have you done Adam? Where are you? She got her comeuppance later, but who did he go to first?

Went to the man. Why? Because of the doctrine of federal headship. The male represents the descendants, not the female. So who's responsible in the church? The men are, I mean, the women are too. It's just that the men are the ones who are supposed to have the necessary genitalia to stand up and do what's got to be done in the church.

But most men are wissified and wimplified and don't know how to stand because they, I believe they don't know the doctrines and they don't know the truth and they haven't been taught enough to stand up.

If I were preaching in a church and I preach a sermon and somebody's going to walk out with her, good, thank you. And I would say, you know, not during the sermon, but say the guy afterwards or a woman afterwards, whatever, or next week and said, you know what, I'm going to take you to task on what you said last week.

I'll be like, good, what? I'd be excited. I am not up there because I'm better than you and I'm not up there because I'm smarter than you. I'm up there because God has me up there that time. Does it mean I'm right?

Nope. You are supposed to check things out. I would love that in a church. I'd love it in a church. I would. You disagree? Really? Good. It's like a man whose son's growing up and finally the son says, no.

In the right context, you go, oh, he's manning up. I like that. He's maturing. Of course, he's always wrong because I'm always right, but that's okay. That kind of thing. So you'll learn about this. I can give you some hints about, I know some stuff.

I know some stuff. Oh, it's good. Five bucks. It's yours. Okay. So the men have got to get together. And I really believe that the men have got to start praying and saying, Lord, shape me, change me, do what I got to do in the church.

But that means problems. And I want to teach on this too, but women, it's going to mean that a lot of women aren't going to like what the men are going to do. Women are pacifiers and men are breakers.

And they want to say, no, don't, don't go out there and stand up in the middle of the sermon and call them a heretic for saying that. Maybe you should, you know, and we've got to learn that balance. And, um, I want to teach a seminar called the theology of marriage, which goes through the doctrine of the Trinity, but marriages theologically because it, it helps, but men are the ones who got to start doing stuff.

Paul says in first Timothy 2, 12 and 13, I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man to remain silent for Adam was first created. He ties it into the created order called primogeniture, firstborn male, and that's it.

We don't like it. There's a concern. See ya. Go find a church that'll make you feel good. But if you want to hear biblical stuff that you can disagree with, maybe, and not worry about disagreeing, then this is the place, that kind of thing.

All right. Next question. Don't be afraid. Yeah. I think you're afraid. Aren't you? How many are afraid to raise your hands? I've done that in seminars, teaching. How many afraid to raise your hand? Raise your hands.

Okay. That's a little bit of twist. Just back a little bit on the tape, behind the tape. We got it all framed in just for that.

The gentleman by the name of Rick Wiles that runs a Christian network show called True News. He had a gentleman on the show that talked about the global brain. So my question to you, global brain. Brain?

So my question to you, if you have this knowledge, or anyone here in the room that can share this knowledge, would this tie in and be some of the first signs? I have no idea what the global brain is. So the question being, if anyone else could share in the room here, the global brain is one of the first signs of a possible sign of the beast.

What he did was.

He went to Barcelona and went on halt just recently to find out how they're going to do the mobile phones. And what they're working on is this global brain that is going to tie everything, everything, all the phone systems, all of your clothes, your appliances, your home, your cars, and all tied into this global one brain.

Basically, you'll be able to do nothing.

By yourself without being tied into this global brain.

Well, I mean, it could be. It's definitely happening. They're trying to make it 5G, and it's going to be all set in place worldwide where we can't go anywhere. And by 2030, it will be all in place. Are we alone here?

Well, let me jump in. I've known about this under a different name for quite a while, all right? There's already been some stuff, computers that can simultaneously keep track of every individual on the entire planet.

It's already 10, 20 years old. And so that's, I've known about that. I just don't talk too much about it. There's some other stuff that I want to talk about, CERN and some other things. But I was going to say, dang it.

Oh, yeah. And so one possible theory is that this thing becomes alive and that it might be inhabited by demonic forces. And some think that might be one of the aspects of what the beast is or something.

There's some theories. I'm just giving you, I'm not saying that's what it is, but this has been known. And I don't know if it's what this thing is, the global brain, I got to talk about that. But they've already had the computer technology already way in place way early.

I know some stuff I don't talk about. I know some stuff people have over the years that haven't known that I've gotten information and I just don't talk about it. There's, it's far more involved. They can put a laser on your window from 10 miles away and hear everything you're saying.

My dad used to work for the phone company and he told me back in the 60s and 70s, they all they could do is flip a switch and they can hear anything you're saying in your house. I got friends in the military branches of government and high echelon stuff who have said that they got weapons.

It doesn't matter where you are in your house, you're dead. I got, I'm being very vague. They've got stuff that they can go into your house from outside the street. They can map into your router, your wireless router, and tell you where you are in your home.

I think I know all kinds of stuff. Because you can see the red lights flashing off. I mean, just like that. I discovered that's, that's the cure. Of course, when I walk into the house, I hear these feminine but, you know, you got to balance things out.

You got to balance it out. And then my wife doesn't want to come near me for about three days. But she wouldn't a mankini, it comes around.

And let's say that we don't know what the mark is, right? I mean, it says in the Bible, that it's going to happen, right? And we don't know, but can a believer take a mark because of fear and still be a believer?

When the Bible says that the unpardonable sin is unbelief.

No, it doesn't say that. It does not say the unpardonable sin is unbelief. That's a common misnomer. The unpardonable sin is saying that Jesus did his miracles by the power of the evil one. That's Matthew 12, 22 -32.

If unbelief was the unpardonable sin, then nobody who's ever an atheist could ever become a Christian. So unbelief is not the unpardonable sin. It's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And Jesus was baptized.

And at his baptism, he fulfilled Old Testament law to enter into the Melchizedek priesthood. And one of the things that had to be done was an anointing. And the Holy Spirit anointed him. He didn't begin his miracles until after that anointing.

So he most probably was doing his miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit. So he's casting out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit. And they said, you're doing it by the power of the evil one. He said, you can insult me and be forgiven.

You're blaspheming the Holy Spirit. You cannot be forgiven in this age or the age to come. So that's what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, saying that Jesus did his miracles by the power of the evil one.

Okay, so the global brain. Yeah, I know about it. Different name, different thing. No, it's not stuff. Did you guys know this? Here's some fun trivia. Some Israeli soldiers. It's just kind of off the cuff here.

But some Israeli soldiers back in the 80s were walking just north. They're walking just north of the border of Israel on the Mediterranean Sea. They weren't supposed to, but they did. And they saw a door.

And what happens is, it's like 20 feet of land. And there's a cliff. And they just walked. And they saw a door. And they went in. And there were invasion plans for Israel set up. And some stuff from Russia in there.

And they went back. And it was cleaned out, let's just say. The little things. Oh yeah, the plans are going. And I'm just saying, you're gonna die. Die for God. Die for him by living and proclaiming. We still have this ability in America.

You need to be voting. And you need to get the pastors to start preaching the truth. We got to get the churches cleaned out. We got to get the churches cleaned out. Start preaching. I tell people over the radio, start preaching to thin the church out.

Could you imagine? Seriously, a 500-member church. And for some dumb reason, hey, Matt Flick will be a good guy. And so I go, yeah, I'll go. I'll preach. A year pulpit supply? Yeah, okay. You know who I am?

Yeah, we know who you are. We heard you on the radio. All right. Because that's what it would take, right? And then I get up there. Okay, unfettered. I'm going to preach. Okay. You know, they're going to be saying, we don't know why people are leaving.
