Amen. 03:57 All right, Miss Shelley, 03:59 this first question is coming to you. 04:00 Alrighty. 04:02 And this comes from Sherry from Pennsylvania. 04:05 And she says this, she says, 04:07 "Can you touch on the root of Jesse, 04:10 and the key of David for a better understanding? 04:13 Please provide scripture to back up your answer." 04:15 You bet, Sherry, in Scripture root 04:19 is used in a figurative sense as source. 04:23 The root of Jesse, 04:24 if you look at the context of Isaiah 11:10 04:28 and Romans 15:12, 04:31 it is clear that root of Jesse is a messianic title, 04:37 what Jessie was David's father, 04:40 through whom the seed of the Messiah was to come. 04:44 And what Isaiah is depicting 04:46 is that he's going to have this glorious coming kingdom, 04:53 which will result in the shoot, 04:56 which shall bud 04:57 and it looked like David's tree had been cut down, 05:00 but there was still that root. 05:02 So the root of David 05:04 is also used in Revelation 5:5 05:07 and Revelation 22:16, 05:11 another messianic title. 05:13 Now the key of David, 05:16 we need to, for the key of David 05:18 follow the law of first mention. 05:21 Go back and see where that was mentioned first 05:24 in the Bible so we can better understand. 05:26 And Isaiah 22, there is a prophecy of Eliakim. 05:32 And Isaiah 22:22 says, 05:33 "The key of the house of David 05:35 I will lay on his shoulder, 05:36 so he shall open 05:37 and no one shall shut, 05:39 he shall shut and no one shall open." 05:43 Eliakim was appointed 05:46 to have supervision over the household of David. 05:50 He controlled the access, 05:52 the people who can go in before the king, 05:55 or he could refuse to admit the people to the king. 05:58 And we see in 1 Chronicles Chapter 9, 06:01 he also had the key to the house of God. 06:04 So when Revelation 3:7, it says, 06:06 "These things says he who is holy, 06:08 he is true, 06:09 He who has the key of David 06:11 he who opens and no one shuts and shuts 06:13 and no one opens." 06:14 This figuratively represents 06:18 Christ's jurisdiction over the church, 06:22 His total sovereignty to grant access 06:25 in to the Davidic kingdom, 06:28 if you will. 06:31 Amen. That was a clear cut answer. 06:33 And it was very supported by scripture. 06:34 I appreciate that, Shelley. Amen. 06:36 Jesus Christ, He is the answer to all. 06:39 Pastor, we're coming to you now with this question. 06:41 It says, "Will we still look the same in heaven? 06:45 Or will we look different?" 06:47 I hope to look different, 06:48 these big ears have strung a bit with the years. 06:53 But I might, it might be my signature 06:54 throughout eternity. 06:55 However, in 1 Corinthians 15:49, 06:58 the Bible says, we're going to look different, 07:00 all the evidence I found in Scripture indicates 07:02 we're going to be looking different. 07:04 1 Corinthians 15:49 says, 07:06 "As we have borne in the image of the man of dust," 07:09 that's Adam, 07:11 "we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man." 07:14 And in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, 07:17 it starts out, "Behold, I show you a mystery, 07:19 we will not all sleep, but we shall all be changed." 07:22 It's not just from mortal to immortal 07:24 or from corruptible to incorruptible, 07:27 there's another change coming. 07:28 Philippians 3:20-21, 07:31 "For our citizenship is in heaven, 07:34 from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, 07:37 the Lord Jesus Christ, 07:38 who will transform our lowly body 07:42 that it may be conformed to His glorious body." 07:45 So right now we're in the lowly body, 07:47 the corruptible, the mortal body. 07:49 And one of the evidences of that 07:51 is found when Jesus was resurrected. 07:53 You have John 20:14-16. 07:56 Mary was in by the tomb having a conversation, 07:59 and she didn't recognize Him. 08:01 She thought He was the gardener until He spoke. 08:04 And John 20:15, verse 14, 08:08 she supposing Him to be the gardener, 08:09 said, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, 08:12 tell me where you have laid Him, 08:14 and I will take Him away." 08:16 And Jesus said to her, "Mary," she turned in said to him, 08:19 "Rabboni," which is to say, teacher. 08:22 So we will not only look different, 08:24 but I believe, as has been the case, 08:26 in this COVID environment, 08:27 my face was fully covered with sunglasses, 08:30 and somebody says, 08:31 "I recognize you by your voice." 08:33 So we're going to be physically changed, 08:35 but I think God is going to maintain 08:37 some uniquenesses 08:38 and each one of us has a signature in our voice. 08:41 And that's what I believe the Scripture support. 08:44 Amen. Excited about that. 08:46 All right, Brother Jason, 08:48 this is coming from Mary in Alabama. 08:50 Okay. 08:52 And she says, 08:53 "Is it okay for a Christian 08:54 to choose cremation over casket burial?" 08:58 Hmm, good question. 09:01 Yes, Mary, it is okay for a Christian 09:03 to choose cremation over a casket burial. 09:07 Nowhere in the Bible does it forbid cremation 09:10 or anything like that. 09:11 One of the first examples of cremation 09:14 I've seen in the Bible is in 1 Samuel 31:11-13, 09:21 "Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead 09:24 heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 09:27 all the valiant men 09:31 arose and traveled all night, 09:33 and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons 09:37 from the wall of Beth Shan, 09:39 and they came to Jabesh and burned them there. 09:43 Then they took their bones and buried them 09:45 under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, 09:48 and fasted seven days." 09:51 So there are a few things for us to consider. 09:53 Number one, Genesis 3:19, 09:56 "In the sweat of your face, 09:58 you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, 10:00 for out of it you were taken, 10:02 for dust you are and to dust you shall return." 10:06 Number two, Ecclesiastes 3:20, 10:09 "All go to one place, 10:11 all are from the dust and all return to dust. 10:15 And pastor just quoted this verse here. 10:18 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. 10:23 "Behold, I tell you a mystery, 10:25 we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 10:28 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, 10:31 at the last trumpet, 10:32 for the trumpet will sound 10:34 and the dead will be raised incorruptible 10:35 and we shall be changed, 10:37 for this corruptible must put on incorruption 10:40 and this mortal must put on immortality." 10:43 So essentially, the body is going to be, 10:48 it's going to decompose. 10:49 All cremation is doing is accelerating that process. 10:53 But nowhere in Scripture is it forbidden 10:56 to choose cremation over a casket burial. 11:00 Amen. Great answer, brother. 11:01 I don't know about you. 11:03 But I just want to make sure have, 11:04 you know, must I die in this lifetime, 11:06 I just want to make sure I wake up 11:07 on the right resurrection. 11:09 That's right. Amen. 11:10 A better resurrection. That's right. 11:12 Praise the Lord. 11:13 And you may be joining us for the first time, 11:15 this may be a new program to you, 11:17 or you just may be a returning viewer. 11:19 Either way, we want to tell you how you can send in 11:21 your questions. 11:22 And so, there's two ways you can do that. 11:24 First, you can text us your question, 11:26 and the number for that is (618) 228-3975. 11:32 Again (618) 228-3975. 11:36 So text us your answer 11:37 or you can email us your answer at, 11:42 excuse me, BibleQA@3abn.org. 11:46 Again, that's BibleQA@3abn.org. 11:50 So send us in your questions, 11:52 and we will provide a Bible answer. 11:53 All right, 11:55 Pastor, we're coming right back to you. 11:56 Okay. 11:58 And this question is, it says, 12:00 "Is the Mormons baptism for the dead 12:04 the same as purgatory is for the Catholics?" 12:08 Quick answer, no. 12:10 Purgatory is a non-scriptural teaching 12:12 that there is a place 12:13 where the dead go 12:15 before they are assigned to their final destiny. 12:18 That's not supported by Scripture. 12:20 It was a method used during the Dark Ages 12:21 to raise money for the Catholic Church. 12:23 And many people paid to priests to pay, 12:26 pray their loved one out of purgatory into heaven. 12:30 On the same note, 12:31 the place called limbo was created for babies 12:33 that were not baptized. 12:35 That's why they baptize babies. 12:36 But the baptism for the dead might be alluded to 12:39 by the scripture in 1 Corinthians 15:29 12:42 where Paul treated beautifully 12:43 when he says, 1 Corinthians 15:29. 12:46 Otherwise speaking about the resurrection, 12:49 what will they do who are baptized for the dead. 12:53 If the dead do not rise at all, 12:55 why then are they baptized for the dead? 12:57 And that they there, 12:59 I did some research 13:00 was connected to a group called Cerenthians, 13:03 not Corinthians, the Cerenthians 13:05 that lived during 50 to 100 AD, 13:08 they called it the 50-100 AD, CE, 13:12 the Common Era 13:13 associated with the Gregorian calendar. 13:15 They had the belief that they denied 13:18 the supremacy of God 13:19 that He was the creator of the world. 13:21 And so they sought a different way for salvation 13:23 for their dead. 13:25 And if the dead did not know God, 13:26 they said, "Well, we need to be baptized 13:28 for them." 13:29 And but the church fathers, 13:30 they call them the hierosologists. 13:33 These are those who studied all the heresies 13:35 that had began to creep into Christianity. 13:38 They denied the Cerenthians 13:40 and said, this is not scriptural. 13:41 You need to, you need to abandon 13:44 this ideology altogether. 13:46 And so much so that 13:48 all the common Christian groups today 13:51 such as Eastern Orthodox, even Oriental Orthodox, 13:56 Roman Catholics, and Protestants all together, 13:59 refute this idea that there is a chance 14:01 for somebody who is dead to still be saved. 14:04 And they do it on this scripture. 14:06 Hebrews 9:27, 14:08 "As it is appointed for men once to die 14:12 and after that the judgment." 14:15 So when a person is dead, 14:17 their case record is closed. 14:19 No one can reverse the life you've lived 14:21 after you have taken your last breath. 14:24 That's why the Lord says, today is the day of salvation. 14:27 Now, is the acceptable time. 14:30 When you take that last breath 14:32 as the thief on the cross knew 14:33 when he was about to take that last breath, 14:35 he said, "Wait a minute, 14:36 there's no more chance after this. 14:37 Please remember me when you come in your kingdom." 14:40 So you cannot be baptized for the dead, 14:42 because their case is closed at the time of death. 14:45 Amen. It is truth. 14:48 All right, Miss Shelley, 14:49 this next question comes to you and this is from Jenny. 14:52 And she says, "We're loving this new program 14:54 that you have. 14:56 Thank you for providing this type of forum. 14:58 My question is, 15:00 how old was Samuel when number one, 15:04 a two part question when he went to the temple, 15:07 and two when the Lord spoke to Him? 15:10 Okay, well let's review the story. 15:12 In 1 Samuel Chapter 1, 15:14 Hannah is a precious woman 15:17 who is tearfully, earnestly praying for a child. 15:22 And God granted her Samuel, 15:25 the son Samuel as the answer to her request, 15:28 and she was so grateful she dedicated him to the Lord. 15:31 1 Samuel 1:27, "For this child, I prayed," she said, 15:35 "and the Lord has granted my petition made him, 15:38 therefore I have given him to the Lord, 15:40 as long as he lives he is given to the Lord." 15:44 And then if you look at verse 24, it says, 15:48 "When she weaned him, 15:50 she brought him to the house of the Lord." 15:54 Jenny, the Bible does not provide 15:57 the exact age of when Samuel came 16:00 to the sanctuary there at Shiloh. 16:03 What it says is that when she weaned him, 16:06 it was common practice to breastfeed your child 16:10 to three years old 16:11 and not unheard of to breastfeed to your five. 16:15 But what we know is, 16:16 Samuel was raised 16:19 from the time he was weaned at the Shiloh sanctuary, 16:22 the women who tended to the tabernacle 16:24 would have been the ones who met his physical needs. 16:28 And then Eli was the one who trained him 16:32 in religious culture. 16:34 In 1 Samuel 2:26, it says, 16:37 "He grew in stature with favor in God." 16:40 And then in 1 Samuel 3, 16:42 we see that he has 16:43 his first prophetic meeting with God, 16:46 and hears a mysterious voice calling Samuel, Samuel. 16:49 And the first message that God gives to Samuel 16:53 is to tell Eli that he and his family 16:55 are rejected as priest, 16:57 because of the sins of the son of Eli. 17:00 But we again don't know 17:02 for certain most scholars believe 17:05 when he heard from the Lord, he was 11 to 12. 17:08 And Josephus, 17:09 who was the first century Jewish historian said 17:14 that he was around 11 years old when God spoke. 17:18 All right. Thank you for that. 17:20 All right, Jason, coming back to you. 17:22 This question comes from Dolores. 17:24 And she says, "Where in the Scripture 17:27 does it talk about country living, 17:29 and that we need to be prepared? 17:32 People talk about the statement of Ellen G.White, 17:34 who will spread God's word in the city?" 17:39 That's a good question. 17:42 Well, nowhere in Scripture does it specifically express 17:45 country living. 17:47 There is a place in Matthew Chapter 24, 17:50 where Jesus is pointing, 17:51 and He's talking about the signs of the times 17:53 and fleeing Judea, 17:54 and going to the mountains, into the hills. 17:57 But there's nowhere that speaks of the mandate 18:01 for country living. 18:03 Now, there are certain benefits 18:06 to living in the country. 18:07 One, you have more land 18:10 possibly to grow your food, 18:12 you also have less pollution, there's more time, 18:17 typically to grow closer to the Lord. 18:21 A lot of people in the Bible 18:23 when they were in the wilderness, 18:25 and had these wilderness experiences, 18:27 they grew closer to the Lord during that time. 18:30 So those are a few of the benefits. 18:33 The other thing is, 18:35 if you look at the environment that we're in now, 18:37 with this COVID, whole COVID environment, 18:41 a lot of people that are living in cities 18:43 are right on top of each other. 18:45 So it's very hard to isolate, and quarantine, 18:49 and do all of those things. 18:50 Because you're coming in contact 18:53 with so many people. 18:55 Now, in terms of who's going to reach 18:56 the cities, 18:59 the fact that you're watching 19:00 this broadcast is incredible 19:03 that God has opened the door 19:05 for this broadcast and make it to cities, 19:09 to the country, to everywhere. 19:11 So the gospel is accessible, 19:14 you can pick up your smartphone, 19:15 and you can access 3ABN right there on the app. 19:18 So the gospel's going forward. 19:20 And if you live in the cities, 19:22 then you're to share the gospel with your neighbor. 19:25 If you live in the country, you're to share the gospel. 19:27 It's our job to spread the gospel 19:29 no matter where we are. 19:31 Amen, appreciate that, my brother. 19:33 Beautiful. 19:34 All right, Shelley, 19:35 we're going to come back to you. 19:37 Okay. All right. 19:38 This question actually comes from a YouTube viewer 19:41 and they say, "How do we know God is speaking to us?" 19:45 Ooh, let me go fast. 19:47 Divine means of communication, scripture, the prophets, 19:50 Jesus Christ, appearances of angel, creation, 19:54 creatures, answered prayers, signs and circumstances, 19:58 visions, dreams, 19:59 then the audible voice which Revelation 1:14-15 says 20:03 the audible voice of the Lord, 20:04 it's like the sound of many waters. 20:07 And the still small voice that Elijah heard 20:10 in 1 Kings 19:11-12. 20:13 God primarily speaks to us through His Word. 20:16 It is God breathed every scripture 20:19 and that's what 2 Timothy 3:16 says. 20:22 Hebrews 4:12 says, His word is alive and active, 20:26 it's powerful. 20:27 In 1 Thessalonians 2:13 it says, 20:30 "It is in truth, the Word of God, 20:33 which effectively works in you who believe." 20:37 In James 1:21 says, 20:40 that when we hear the Word of God 20:42 and implanted in our heart 20:44 has the power to save our souls. 20:46 Now, the still small voice that Elijah heard, 20:48 I believe all of us 20:50 have at some point in time 20:51 as believers been impressed with a thought 20:54 from the Holy Spirit. 20:56 Here's the way you know it's the Holy Spirit, 20:58 it will never be contrary to Scripture, 21:01 because the Spirit is the one 21:03 who helped guide the scriptures. 21:05 If you read the Book of Acts, you see, in many instances 21:09 where the Holy Spirit gave guidance 21:11 to the people of the early church, 21:14 an example would be Acts 13:12. 21:17 But here's what Jesus says about the Holy Spirit. 21:20 In John 16:13-15, he says, 21:24 "When He the spirit of truth has come, 21:26 He will guide you into all truth." 21:29 The Holy Spirit will guide us into truth 21:32 He always exalts Jesus. 21:34 John 16:8 says, 21:35 "He convicts us of sin, righteousness and judgment." 21:38 Galatians 5:22-25 says 21:42 that "He develops the fruit in us." 21:44 So if you think the Holy Spirit is leading you, 21:47 He will follow those parameters. 21:51 And 1 John 4:12, 21:53 I want you to pray and test every spirit. 21:56 Make sure that it is the Spirit of God. 22:00 Amen. Thank you for that. 22:01 All right, Pastor, Lomacang, coming right back to you. 22:04 This person says, "What does it mean 22:06 when God says the evening and the morning 22:09 were the first day?" 22:11 Okay, evening and the morning. I like that. 22:14 That is an amazing question 22:15 because many people think that they go back actually, 22:21 what I saw in the question was they were kind of asking, 22:24 well, since the sun was not created 22:29 before the fourth day, 22:30 how was there an evening and the morning, 22:32 and I want to go now, first, to Genesis 1:5. 22:36 One of the things we have to keep in mind is, 22:38 first of all, nothing is impossible 22:39 for the Lord. 22:41 There are some miraculous events 22:42 that took place at the creation of our world. 22:44 We find in Genesis 1:5, 22:47 "God called the light day, 22:49 and the darkness He called night. 22:51 So the evening and the morning were the first day." 22:54 Now, when you look at the context of that 22:56 you find in the Bible, 22:58 that when the Lord looked at the earth, 22:59 it was without form and void, 23:01 and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 23:03 And God said, "Let there be light," 23:05 and there was light. 23:06 There's a presupposition 23:07 that light only comes from the sun. 23:09 But in fact, divinely speaking, that could not be the case. 23:14 Why did He then make the sun 23:16 and why then was there some heavenly body 23:21 to ordain the difference between the day and the night. 23:24 Very quickly here, Genesis 1:16 and 18. 23:27 "Then God made two great lights, 23:28 the greater light to rule the day 23:30 and the lesser light to rule the night, 23:31 He made the stars also, 23:33 and to rule over the day and over the night, 23:36 and to divide the light from the darkness. 23:38 And God saw that it was good." 23:42 One of the things that we have to keep in mind 23:43 is we have regions around the world. 23:45 And there's another question that came upon this, 23:47 and I'll wait till that question comes up. 23:50 But the evening that the day is segmented 23:53 into evening and morning. 23:55 It has four parts to the morning, 23:57 and four parts to the evening. 23:59 One of the examples you find 24:00 is when the disciples were speaking in tongues, 24:03 they said they couldn't be drunk. 24:04 It's only the third hour of the day. 24:06 So when you study the Bible, 24:07 the Bible has four watches of the day, 24:10 four watches of the night, and by the clock, 24:12 they determined these four watches 24:14 are morning, 24:15 and these four watches are evening, 24:17 whether the sun is up or not. 24:20 All right, it's all an answer. I like that. 24:23 All right, Brother Jason, coming back to you. 24:26 This person says, 24:28 "Is it okay to stay single and not get married 24:32 because I find it hard to fall in love with a woman. 24:35 Honestly, I'm attracted to same sex 24:38 and I know this is really wrong. 24:40 So for now, my option is to stay single 24:44 than marry a lady without feeling the love. 24:47 I'm 30 years old 24:48 and I'm praying for God's intervention?" 24:51 Yeah, that's a heavy question. 24:54 You know, it's better to stay single 24:56 and be celibate 24:57 than to get married for the wrong reasons. 25:03 I truly appreciate number one the sincerity in your question, 25:07 the fact that you're reaching out 25:08 and you're asking this question 25:09 as opposed to just trying to justify 25:11 wrong behavior 25:13 or anything you want to do the right thing 25:14 and it really shows 25:15 that the Holy Spirit is working on your heart. 25:19 But Romans 1:26-27, 25:25 "For this reason God gave them up 25:27 to vile passions, 25:28 for even their women exchange the natural use 25:31 for what is against nature. 25:33 Likewise, also, the men 25:35 leaving the natural use of the woman 25:37 burned in their lust for one another, 25:39 men with men committing what is shameful 25:42 and receiving in themselves 25:43 the penalty of their error which was due." 25:47 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 25:51 "Do you not know that the unrighteous 25:53 will not inherit the kingdom of God, 25:55 do not be deceived neither fornicators, 25:58 nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 26:03 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revealers, 26:07 nor extortioners 26:08 will inherit the kingdom of God." 26:10 Now here is the part that's for you. 26:14 "And such were some of you, 26:18 but you were washed, but you were sanctified, 26:21 but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, 26:25 and by the spirit of our God." 26:28 God can transform your life 26:30 and take those unnatural affections away 26:34 and homosexuality is a sin, 26:36 but God is in the business 26:38 of giving us victory over sin. 26:42 So I want you to remain encouraged 26:45 and I'd also like to share this resource with you, 26:48 you can go to comingoutministries.org 26:51 comingoutministries.org 26:53 and they should be able to help you 26:56 and share with you their journey as well. 27:00 Amen. Appreciate that, brother. 27:01 And again, 27:03 you may be joining us right now, 27:04 may have turned the channel 27:06 and found us right here on 3ABN. 27:08 You're watching 3ABN Bible Q and A. 27:11 This is a questions and answer program 27:13 in which we take your Bible questions 27:15 and we give a biblical answer for them. 27:17 And so, we want to tell you 27:19 how you can send in those questions. 27:20 There's two different ways. 27:22 Of course the first way is by text. 27:24 And so if you want to text us your questions, 27:26 just text us at (618) 228-3975 27:33 or you can also email us at BibleQA@3abn.org 27:39 So send us your questions 27:41 because we're anxious to answer them 27:43 and provide a Bible answer. 27:44 This is exciting, I love this 27:46 that we can come together like this, 27:47 as the Bible says come together, reason together 27:50 and allow God's Word to speak to us. 27:52 And so, I love where Jesus says in Matthew 4:4, 27:56 He says, "You know it is written, 27:57 man shall not live by bread alone, 27:59 but by every word that proceeds 28:01 from the mouth of God." 28:02 And that's certainly what we're doing right now. 28:04 So, again, we thank you for joining us. 28:06 We're going to continue on with our questions. 28:09 I'm coming to you Miss Shelley. 28:11 This person says 28:13 and this actually comes from Shayla in North Carolina, 28:16 and Shayla says, 28:18 "How do I let go of my past mistakes and sins, 28:21 and forgive myself and others? 28:24 I feel lost and far from God sometimes 28:26 and I go into a spiral of fear, guilt, 28:30 shame and uncertainty?" 28:32 I wish I had an hour to answer you, Shayla. 28:34 But hear the word of the Lord in Isaiah 1:18. 28:37 He says, "Come now let us reason together, 28:40 though your sins are as scarlet 28:43 they shall be white as snow." 28:45 In 1 John 1:9, it says, 28:47 "If we confess our sins, 28:49 He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 28:51 and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness." 28:55 The challenge is to receive God's forgiveness 28:59 because that is how we escaped the devil's trap 29:03 and extricate ourselves from that condemnation. 29:07 I want you to read Psalm 51. 29:09 Let me give you a couple of examples. 29:12 Great Psalm with repentance. 29:13 Psalm 51:2-3, David has committed adultery, 29:19 he's committed a guilty of murder, 29:21 and he's writing or praying to the Lord, 29:25 "Wash me thoroughly for my iniquity, 29:27 cleanse me from my sin. 29:29 For I acknowledge my transgressions, 29:31 my sin is always before me." 29:34 And then in verse 7, Psalm 51:7, 29:36 "He's washed me 29:38 and I will be whiter than snow." 29:40 And then in verse 12, he says, 29:42 "O restore to me the joy of Your salvation, 29:46 uphold me by Your generous spirit." 29:49 I want you to pray that over your life 29:51 because that's what you need. 29:53 I have a friend who could not forgive herself. 29:56 And she was talking with a pastor one day 29:59 and he said, "Do you believe God's forgiven you?" 30:01 She said "Yes." 30:02 And he said, "Then don't you think 30:03 it's a little egotistical for you 30:05 not to forgive yourself? 30:07 Are you bigger than God?" 30:08 She got mad and she got over it. 30:11 Shayla, in Isaiah 43:18-19, 30:14 God says, 30:15 "Forget the former things, 30:17 do not dwell on the past, I am doing a new thing." 30:22 And He says in Matthew 6:14-15, 30:25 that we've got to forgive others 30:27 their transgressions as well. 30:29 Forgiveness helps us to release the past, 30:32 and it does more for our benefit 30:34 even then for the offenders. 30:37 Amen. Thank you so much for that. 30:39 Shelley, I appreciate that. 30:40 All right, Pastor Lomacang, we're coming back to you. 30:43 This person says, 30:44 "The Bible talks about the mark, 30:46 the name or the number. 30:48 Why don't you talk more about the name and the number?" 30:50 Well, I don't know 30:52 if that's a personal reference to me, 30:53 because I talk about all three of them. 30:55 I guess it may be somebody who has only talked 30:57 about the name and the number, not the mark. 30:59 Now, Revelation 13:17 is I believe the scripture 31:02 that maybe what you're referring to. 31:05 But I'll read it for you, Revelation 13:17, 31:07 "That no one may buy or sell 31:10 except one has the mark, 31:12 or the name of the beast 31:14 or the number of his name." 31:18 Now as it relates to the mark, 31:20 the name and number, 31:22 several attempts have been made throughout the years. 31:24 I remember far enough back 31:26 when Procter and Gamble had a soap, 31:28 a bar of soap with the stars on it. 31:30 People didn't want to buy that, 31:31 because they saw on the side 31:33 look like stars in the shape of 666. 31:35 And I remember years ago, Mikhail Gorbachev, 31:39 they said he had, his name was associated, 31:43 he had a big mark on his forehead, 31:45 it was a birthmark. 31:46 And they said, "Well, he is the beast, 31:48 must be the sign of the mark of the beast." 31:50 And Ronald Reagan, he had three names 31:52 with six letters in each. 31:54 He said, "Well, he must be the leader 31:55 to bring the mark of the beast upon the nation." 31:58 And then when the barcode came out, 32:00 that really threw everybody into a tailspin. 32:02 You've even had book covers with barcodes 32:04 on people's foreheads and on their hands, 32:07 they're going to scan you. 32:08 There have been many attempts by people 32:09 to somehow duplicate 32:11 what God has put in His Word as a spiritual mark. 32:15 Now, the mark of the beast is a symbol 32:17 pointing to the identity of the system of the beast. 32:20 When you are identified as a person allegiant to that, 32:23 you receive a mark. 32:25 I'll give you an example. 32:26 In Ezekiel 9, 32:28 Revelation 7 and Ezekiel 9 are associated. 32:30 Revelation 7 is the shorter version, 32:32 Ezekiel 9 is the expanded version, 32:35 and you find in Ezekiel 9, 32:37 speaking about angels 32:38 that came from the way of the higher gate 32:40 and they went throughout Israel. 32:42 And they began with the elders, 32:43 and they put a mark on their foreheads. 32:46 What does the mark mean? 32:48 When the Bible speaks about a mark on their forehead, 32:49 by your beliefs, 32:51 and the mark in the hand by your support. 32:53 So this is not something that people are going to be 32:55 lining up to get, 32:57 but this simply are indicators of your allegiance 33:00 to the system that leads the world 33:02 to honor and worship the beast. 33:04 Amen. 33:05 Solid answer, thank you, Pastor, 33:07 especially for two minutes. 33:08 That was a packed question. 33:10 I'm telling you. 33:12 All right. All right. 33:13 Jason, we're coming back to you. 33:15 This person says, actually, this is Kabera. 33:17 I guess that's how you would say it. 33:20 And if I'm butchering that name, I apologize. 33:21 Kabera is what it seems to say. 33:24 The question is, "I would love to get 33:26 the panel's advice 33:28 to a person born 33:30 in a Seventh-day Adventist home, 33:32 because it's like you were born in this hub 33:35 of immense knowledge of truth 33:36 and sometimes familiarity breeds contempt 33:40 or even fail to recognize the goodness and love of Christ 33:44 as opposed 33:45 to someone who has come from drugs or atheism, etc. 33:49 And also the fear that to whom much is given 33:53 much will be required of him." 33:56 Well, we're going to take it to the dinner table, 33:58 my favorite place. 34:00 Kabera, I want you to picture this, 34:03 I want you to imagine 34:04 that you're at let's say, 34:06 your mom, or, you know, your mom's house 34:09 or some family member's house and it's dinner time, 34:11 and they're in there 34:13 and they're cooking this dinner, 34:14 and they've got all your favorites being made. 34:16 It's delicious. It smells great. 34:19 And everybody at the house has a plate, except for you. 34:24 Everybody is sitting down at the table 34:26 and they've got this delicious looking meal 34:28 sitting right in front of them 34:29 and you see the joy on their faces 34:31 and you smell those smells. 34:34 And you hear the descriptive phrases 34:36 that they're using to describe 34:38 how delicious the food is. 34:41 But yet, your stomach is rumbling 34:43 and your taste buds aren't satisfied. 34:47 But everybody else is eating. 34:49 That's like our relationship with Christ. 34:51 We can't, our taste buds 34:53 aren't going to be satisfied unless we taste and see 34:56 that the Lord is good. 34:58 And Psalm 34:8 says just that, 35:00 "O taste and see that the Lord is good. 35:03 Blessed is the man who trust in Him." 35:06 Now, in regards to the second part 35:08 of your statement, 35:09 I'd like to share these two verses with you, 35:11 James 2:14. 35:14 And it says, "What does it profit 35:16 my brethren, 35:18 if someone says he has faith, 35:20 but does not have works. 35:21 Can faith save him? 35:23 And James 2:18, which says, 35:26 "But someone will say you have faith, 35:28 and I have works, 35:29 show me your faith without your works 35:31 and I will show you my faith by my works." 35:36 We should embrace an attitude 35:38 of what can I do to live out my faith 35:43 on a deeper level. 35:44 And I think that that should be our attitude. 35:48 All right, Brother, thank you for that. 35:50 Pastor Lomacang coming back to you. 35:52 Okay. 35:53 This person, I actually enjoyed this next question, 35:55 because I'm eager to hear your response. 35:56 All right. 35:58 This person says, "Is it okay 35:59 for Seventh-day Adventist like myself 36:02 to visit other churches, different denominations, 36:05 or those that go to church on Sunday?" 36:07 Okay. 36:08 Let me establish something from the very beginning 36:10 the words of Jesus, John 10:16, 36:12 "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, 36:16 them also I must bring and they will hear my voice 36:19 and there will be one fold and one shepherd." 36:22 So Jesus outright, 36:24 even in the journey of the disciples 36:26 on the Sea of Galilee, 36:27 when He set out to journey, 36:29 the Bible says other little boats 36:31 were also with Him. 36:32 He had followers in other ships. 36:34 The difference is, when you read, 36:36 when I read John 10:16, he says, 36:38 "Them also I must bring, 36:40 He doesn't say that we joined 36:41 that flock where they are." 36:43 He says, "Them also I must bring." 36:45 I've to ask the question, 36:47 what is the purpose of your visit? 36:48 Because I have in the past when I was in the singing group 36:50 Heritage singers, 36:51 we sang at many Sunday churches. 36:53 We sang at any denomination that invited us to sing. 36:57 Well, I used every opportunity to do 36:58 was give out Great Controversy, 37:01 Desire of Ages and Steps to Christ to pastors, 37:03 to people, 37:04 anybody that came for the altar call. 37:06 What I don't want to do is indict, 37:09 indict people as being non-Christians 37:11 that don't love the Lord that go to church on Sunday. 37:14 What I want to be very careful to do is Deuteronomy 12:30, 37:18 because this is where the seduction is coming in. 37:20 You see the Hebrews when they were told 37:22 on the Plain of Dura to bow down, 37:24 when the music play, they didn't bow. 37:26 Why? 37:27 Because it was not the instruments. 37:30 But when music leads you to bow at the wrong altar, 37:34 it ceases to be worship to the true God. 37:36 And music today is leading people 37:38 to the wrong altar. 37:39 And they're getting satisfied, 37:41 and I know many former Adventists 37:42 that started on their musical journey, 37:45 and they are now no longer Adventists. 37:47 And that's why Deuteronomy 12:30, 37:49 is very key in my final answer. 37:51 The Lord says, "Take heed to yourself 37:53 that you are not ensnared to follow after them, 37:58 and that you do not inquire 37:59 after their God's saying, 38:02 'How did these nations serve their gods, 38:05 I also will do likewise.'" 38:08 We must only serve the Lord and worship Him 38:11 in spirit and in truth. 38:12 So if I go, I'm going to be a witness 38:14 to someone not to become, 38:16 we're not to become what they are 38:18 and stay where they are. 38:20 Amen. Great answer. 38:22 All right. 38:23 Miss Shelley, coming back to you 38:25 this question says, 38:27 and this is, okay, this question says, 38:29 "I've come to believe Jesus Christ, 38:32 come to believe in Jesus Christ, 38:34 but I'm getting confused about His true personality 38:37 as God Himself or the Son of God? 38:41 Is Jesus Christ God Himself or is He a Son of God? 38:45 I hope I don't confuse you in this short answer. 38:48 I will be speaking on this at camp meeting. 38:50 Root of Jesse, root of David, 38:52 messianic titles, Son of God, messianic title. 38:55 The divine essence of Jesus Christ 38:59 is was Eternal God. 39:02 He is the second person of the Godhead, 39:05 our Creator. John 1:1-3 says, 39:08 "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, 39:10 the Word was God. 39:12 And He was with God in the beginning." 39:14 And it says, 39:15 "All things were made through Him. 39:17 Without Him nothing was made that was made." 39:19 Philippians 2:5-8 says, 39:21 "Christ was eternal God. 39:23 He didn't think equality with God 39:26 was something to hold onto. 39:28 He humbled Himself, 39:29 He became a man 39:31 and He became obedient to the point of death. 39:35 God required the death penalty for sin. 39:38 God came down 39:40 and in the person of Jesus Christ 39:42 became the last Adam 39:44 and paid that death penalty. 39:47 Revelation 13:8 says, 39:49 "He was the Lamb 39:50 who was slain 39:52 from the foundation of the world." 39:53 This has always been God's plan 39:56 for salvation by grace and redemption. 39:59 So the second person of the Godhead came down 40:05 and became the Son of God. 40:07 The first person of the Godhead 40:09 became His Father. 40:11 Son of God is a covenant term. 40:14 It is used of a human being, 40:17 who is a covenant son of promise. 40:20 We see, Adam was called the son of God, 40:22 the nation of Israel, is Adam was, 40:25 Luke 3:38, nation of Israel. 40:28 The son of God in Exodus 4:22. 40:31 Jeremiah 31:20, Hosea 1:11, 40:34 the king is referred to as the son of God. 40:37 And Psalm 2:7, 40:38 Solomon is referred to as the son of God. 40:41 In 2 Samuel 7:14. 40:43 And then Hebrews 1:5, 40:47 the first person of the Godhead, 40:50 looks at the person of Jesus Christ and says, 40:52 "You are My Son, 40:55 today I have begotten You. 40:57 And again: 40:58 I will be to Him a Father, 41:00 He shall be to me a Son?" 41:03 At a point in time, 41:06 God became the covenant Son of God. 41:09 But in Hebrews 1:8, God the Father, 41:12 declares the son's deity. 41:14 It says, "To the Son," 41:17 He says, "Your throne, 41:18 O God is forever and ever." 41:21 Very quickly. 41:23 Firstborn is a covenant term, 41:25 which means preeminence. 41:27 Begotten is a covenant term, 41:30 which means you were chosen for a covenant purpose. 41:33 And Son of God is this same type of term. 41:38 Please watch our camp meeting. 41:41 I'll spend an hour on this. 41:43 That was good. That was very, very good. 41:46 Lots to talk about in such a short time, 41:48 she did a great job. 41:49 Thank you. 41:50 All right, Jason, this person says, 41:53 "So do we have to go to church to be Christian, 41:56 or believe in God?" 41:59 Well, if someone chooses not to go to church, 42:02 then you'd be doing yourself a great disservice. 42:05 Hebrews 10:23-25, 42:09 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope 42:12 without wavering, 42:13 for he who promised is faithful. 42:16 And let us consider one another 42:18 in order to stir up love and good works, 42:20 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, 42:24 as is the manner of some but exhorting one another. 42:27 And so much the more 42:29 as you see the day approaching." 42:32 As Christians or followers of Christ, 42:35 as the name implies, 42:37 we should do what Jesus did. 42:39 Luke 4:16 says, "So he came to Nazareth, 42:43 where He had been brought up. 42:45 And as His custom was, 42:46 He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, 42:51 and stood up to read." 42:53 Now, when you go to church, 42:55 you're surrounded by people who will lift you up in prayer. 42:59 Acts 12:5-7, 43:02 "Peter was therefore kept in prison, 43:05 but constant prayer was offered to God 43:08 for him by the church. 43:10 And when Herod 43:12 was about to bring him out that night, 43:14 Peter was sleeping 43:15 bound with two chains between two soldiers, 43:18 and the guards before the door 43:20 were keeping the prison. 43:22 Now, behold, an angel of the Lord 43:23 stood by him 43:25 and a light shone in the prison. 43:26 And he struck Peter on the side 43:29 and raised him up saying, 'Arise quickly,' 43:31 and his chains fell off his hands.'" 43:34 And you'll have to read the rest of the story 43:36 in your Bible. 43:39 Okay, all right. All right. 43:41 Well, you know that, it seems like that section, 43:44 you know, each of us going back and forth. 43:46 It's just like rapid fire, 43:48 especially when we're trying to say it in that two minute, 43:50 two minute time frame, but this is the part 43:53 with the time that we have remaining, 43:54 where I throw out some extra questions, 43:57 some bonus questions, 43:58 and we let each of you just kind of, 44:00 it's kind of a free for all for you 44:01 to just jump in there 44:02 and again provide an answer as the Lord gives it to you. 44:05 So this question actually comes from Jayce. 44:08 And Jayce says, 44:10 "I attended an Adventist University 44:12 when I was in college, 44:14 and I heard the concept of fasting from my roommate. 44:18 She often said that she would fast 44:19 when there's an upcoming major exam. 44:23 I don't understand why she was doing that. 44:25 Does God answer prayers faster when we fast? 44:30 What's the purpose of fasting and should we do it?" 44:34 Okay, I'm going to jump in first on this. 44:37 Fasting is simply giving up the cravings of our flesh. 44:41 Generally, we're speaking of food, too, 44:44 because you have a greater spiritual craving. 44:47 Does God ask us? 44:49 Listen to Joel 2:12, 44:53 "Now therefore," says the Lord, 44:54 "turn to me 44:56 with all your heart with fasting, 44:57 with weeping, with mourning, 44:59 bring your heart, your garments, 45:00 return to the Lord, your God." 45:03 We see fasting throughout the Bible, 45:05 Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, 45:07 I mean, there's just all of these examples. 45:09 The early church in Acts 13:2 is a good example. 45:13 They fasted, the prophets and the teachers fasted. 45:17 They were seeking God for... 45:21 They wanted to know His will. 45:23 So what fasting does 45:26 when James 14 said that if we humble ourselves 45:29 before the Lord, 45:31 He'll lift us up. 45:33 Fasting is something that we see in Isaiah 58 45:37 that God tells them, hey, you're not fasting right, 45:40 you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. 45:42 Fasting should bring about prayer, 45:46 praise and rejoicing. 45:48 And you know what's interesting? 45:50 When you fast, I think when we eat, 45:55 I had a large lunch today, 45:56 and it took me several hours to get over it. 46:00 You know what I'm saying? 46:01 I ate too many beans and rice. 46:04 So when you fast, 46:07 you don't have all of the blood going to your stomach 46:11 for the digestion and all this. 46:13 There is a clarity of mind. 46:17 Jesus at one point said 46:19 that this kind when His disciples 46:23 couldn't kick out a demon, 46:25 He says, "They come out only by prayer and fasting." 46:28 Is there really a good reason for fasting? 46:31 I think I know a lot of people 46:33 who benefit from fasting, 46:34 and it is throughout the Bible, 46:37 you find examples. 46:39 That's right. That's right. 46:41 All right. 46:42 Second question. 46:44 We'll throw it out there. Here it is. 46:45 This comes from Merrick in Minnesota. 46:51 And this person says, "Why did Jesus say to Mary, 46:54 "Touch me not for I am not yet ascended 46:57 to My Father," 46:59 as found in John 20:17? 47:02 Yet in Matthew 28:9, 47:04 Jesus didn't say that to the disciples 47:06 when they held Him or held Him," 47:09 I guess, "at or by the feet." 47:11 I guess that's what it says. Okay. 47:13 Well, one clarity in Matthew 28:9, 47:15 it wasn't the disciples, 47:16 there was the other women that held Him by the feet. 47:20 Now let's go to John 20:17. 47:21 And I'll go ahead and read that too 47:23 in the interest of time, 47:25 it says, Mary is now in the garden, 47:28 believing that Jesus is the gardener. 47:30 And this is the reference I made earlier 47:32 until He speaks. 47:33 And then she reaches out to hold him. 47:36 One version says touch me not, that's the King James version. 47:39 But the New King James says, 47:40 "Do not cling to me, 47:42 for I have not yet ascended to My Father." 47:44 John 20:17, 47:45 "But go to my brethren and say to them, 47:48 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, 47:50 and to My God and Your God.'" 47:52 Now, this is amazing. 47:53 It is evident that between the time 47:55 Jesus told Mary not to cling to Him, 47:58 and the time He met the other women, 47:59 this is the miraculous part 48:00 I've been searching the scriptures. 48:02 It is evident that He went to heaven 48:03 and came back. 48:05 I mean, we don't know how fast, 48:06 we might say, well, 48:07 how long does it take to get to the moon? 48:09 That's human. Right. 48:10 But how long does it take for Jesus to go to heaven 48:12 and come back? 48:13 Because you find in Matthew 28:9, 48:15 I'm gonna go ahead and see this, 48:17 now brings the other women into the picture. 48:19 And it says in verse 9, 48:21 "And as they went to tell His disciples, 48:26 behold, Jesus met them, 48:28 'Rejoice!' 48:30 So they came and held Him 48:31 by the feet and worshiped Him.'" 48:34 This is the miraculous event. 48:37 How long does it take for, and this is amazing thought, 48:40 how long does it take 48:42 for our prayers to reach heaven? 48:46 If He took five hours, we'll be in trouble. 48:48 How long would it take for a miraculous risen Savior 48:51 to do what only God can do? 48:53 That's right. 48:55 We'll never understand that until that day comes. 48:58 So Jesus gave the woman the same instruction 49:00 that He had given to Mary, 49:02 which indicates evidently 49:03 He hadn't gotten to His disciples yet, 49:05 because look what He said to the women now 49:06 that held onto Him. 49:08 In verse 10, "Then Jesus said to them, 49:10 'Do not be afraid, 49:11 go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, 49:14 and there they will see Me." 49:17 So the other women go to tell the disciples 49:19 and something happens. 49:20 Verse 11, 49:22 "Now while they were going, behold, 49:23 some of the guards came into the city 49:24 and reported to the chief priests, 49:26 all the things that had happened." 49:28 Now when you go back, 49:30 you begin to see 49:31 and I'm going to just wind it up here. 49:33 Between the time He told Mary don't cling to Me. 49:37 It blows me away, 49:39 that He went and came back 49:43 because on His way now to Galilee, 49:45 He meets the other women, 49:47 and they are able to touch Him. 49:49 What makes the difference between Mary not touching Me, 49:52 and the other woman clinging to Me, 49:54 is this singular point. 49:56 Don't touch Me 49:57 because I have not yet ascended to my Father. 50:00 On that very note, 50:01 we cannot help but to conclude, 50:03 if He says don't touch because I've not ascended, 50:05 He didn't say, don't touch me because you're Mary. 50:07 He said, "Don't touch me, I've not yet ascended." 50:09 Now He lifts that band, 50:11 because He has ascended and returned. 50:13 That's why the other women can now cling to Him 50:16 before He goes to Galilee to meet with His, 50:19 with His disciples. 50:22 Amen. All right, Praise the Lord. 50:24 Nobody else wants to add anything to that? 50:26 All right, okay. 50:27 I'm still absorbing all of that. 50:29 We literally have like a minute, 50:31 I'm going to throw this one out there. 50:32 Maybe we have a real quick answer. 50:34 "What happens to the ones that go to outer darkness? 50:36 Do they ever get to join Jesus?" 50:39 This comes from Cindy in Washington. 50:40 You know, there's one place where the outer darkness 50:43 it talks about the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 50:45 And that just makes it sound like 50:46 oh, they're suffering so badly, 50:48 but in Scripture, weeping and gnashing of teeth, 50:51 meant you were angry. 50:52 So those who go into the outer darkness, 50:54 that weeping and gnashing of teeth, 50:56 they don't repent. 50:58 They're still angry with God, and they're grrr-grrr, 51:02 you know, at God. 51:03 So what happens to them? 51:05 They've missed that, that time, 51:09 that opportunity to repent. 51:11 And they'll see Him again, but not a good term, 51:13 which is a second resurrection. 51:15 That's the unfortunate part. 51:16 Revelation 12:7-9. That's right. 51:18 I just want to make sure 51:20 I'm not casting that outer darkness. 51:21 I want to be within the glorious light 51:23 of Jesus Christ. 51:25 And I know you do, too. 51:26 Hey, we certainly appreciate you joining us. 51:28 We're not quite through here. 51:29 We just have a couple of minutes 51:31 on the other side of a break. 51:32 But we want again remind you 51:33 of how you can send in your Bible questions. 51:36 There's two different ways you can do that. 51:39 And we're actually going to show you 51:40 how to do that right now. 51:43 If you're enjoying our 3ABN Bible Q and A, 51:46 then tell your friends. 51:48 Each Monday we'll bring you a fresh program, 51:50 answering the Bible questions you send us 51:53 and we'll use God's Holy Word 51:54 to shed light on those texts 51:56 that seem difficult to understand. 51:58 If you would like your questions 51:59 answered on an upcoming program, 52:01 just email them to us. 52:03 Our email address is BibleQA@3abn.org. 52:08 That's BibleQA@3abn.org. 52:12 You can also text us your questions 52:14 by sending them to (618) 228-3975. 52:19 That number again is (618) 228-3975. 52:24 Be sure to include your name and where you live, 52:26 and then watch 3ABN Bible Q and A 52:29 for the answers from God's Word. |
