I have learned so much in 1 year after finding Pastor John MacArthur, Dr Voodie Baucham, and DR.R. C. Sproul Sr, Thank you from the depths of my heart.
I drive a truck for a living...so I don't have the opportunity to go to a physical church.But, I do learn the words of GOD from my my pastor john macarthur every day..sometimes all day long
Right?! "Take a sip of Diet Coke, Dr. Sproul." lol I treasure that man, though. It hit me hard the other day that he's no longer here. We desperately need more like him; people willing to stand on tables and defend the sufficiency and inerrancy of scripture. I can't wait to fellowship with him in heaven.
@@laurapug5389 Right. He said to the greiving mother to repent. I get it though. We have all gone thru this. When my dad died I was so angry with God I've since repented of that
I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of Jeremiah 17:9-10, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings." and Mark 10:18, “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good-except God alone.". That Yeshua, as the son of G-d who knew no sin, pointed to His (our) Abba as the only one who is good, and knowing that man's heart is deceitful and wicked by default is all I need to know what we are all capable of under the Adam federal headship. We are at war with it every day in different ways and will continue to until our race is finished. Presenting our vessels to Him, and asking Him to search and know our ways, that He may cleanse us from all unrighteousness with the blood of His only begotten son, and asking His Holy Spirit to fill our spirit and soul with His water of everlasting life that it may overflow into our heart and our mind that it may produce the fruit of the spirit in our lives and shine His light to the world while preserving His word and truth with His salt is a never-ending process and practice. Dr Bauchaum is such an incredible blessing, along with Dr Sproul and all of the other panelists.
R.C. Sproul is a treasure, I think the greatest theologian of our time. And Dr. Nichols is so learned and intelligent, I would read everything he has written.
As Voddie articulated very well. It all comes down to the "man" centeredness of the world. The only way to overcome the world is to recognize that within ourselves is the problem. Our propensity for evil, and our lack of desire to recognize this within ourselves is the sum of the problems we face. The very definition "of the world," biblically speaking; is so wedded in us that to come out of it is simply impossible without a mighty work of God. Those outside of the Faith never understand when I comment to them that they make themselves a god in denying God. That by usurping the work of God, they themselves have defined the relative work of "good" as personal, therefore denying the relative work of God as impersonal, thus improbable.
I am so blessed by and through all of the Pastors in this video, but seeing Dr Sproul and Dr Bauchaum on the same stage answering and discussing Q&As together is such a wonderful and blessed thing. Thank you for so freely sharing these Q&A series. Numbers 6:24-26 and Shabbat Shalom. 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm always exhorted and strengthened to press on toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus through Ligonier Ministries. May the Lord's grace and peace be multiplied to your spirits.
You’re listening to the best. These men are deeply knowledged Christian theologians who study the Word of God righteously and fervently. Thank you for your Faith in Jesus Christ. I will keep you, and all of us, in prayer.
That was cute and sweet. I pray that the Lord lifts your mind and spirit so that you have greater understanding, and also that you can better appreciate exactly who God has made you. You sound like a treasure to me.
Praise be to God for Voddie being at this conference for this reason, so many Arminians want to put down Calvin for the things they may have read about happening in his life that were sinful, as if, they themselves are not sinners. The bottom line is this, is what Calvin preached and taught, Biblical? Does it line up with the will of God and if you are being honest you would have to answer YES. Arminians want to try and expose this man’s sin’s without first emptying their own closets of which in itself is sin because of un-righteous Judgement (Matt 7:3)
@@ElectOne22_ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:3-14 ESV bible.com/bible/59/eph.1.3-14.ESV And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:1-10 ESV bible.com/bible/59/eph.2.1-10.ESV There are many many verses like these. 🙂I would encourage you to read the passages regarding Gods sovereignty and man's bondage to sin.🙏 I think you will find the bible is very clear about man's inability to choose to believe before he is changed by God. How can that which does not believe change to a state of belief when it is dead?🤷♂️
I thank God for His grace in my life. I grew up in a charismatic church but after finding great men of God i finally see that im far away from His path.
These sessions teach so much! Especially for those , who are unable through illness and disability, to be “in” an active church community, anymore. Thank you, and Glory to God! 🙏🧡
Loving this broadcast. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge for God's glory. I can now use this as a tool to help others in some of these difficult questions.
Absolutely , nobody capable to come or choose God by human ability. Man always chooses wrong way . The only way Man becomes save because God forgive their sins.People’s become save not because they receive Jesus , because God forgive their sin , God action is count not our actions . That’s why most teaching now days we have to receive Jesus in order to become save .
Simplest explanation? FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE. No works. No feelings. FAITH in CHRIST'S sacrifice for man. Nothing else. Repentance is changing your mind . Changing non belief to belief after recognizing you are a sinner and needs CHRIST as Savior.
Oh did Dr. Voodie say we are all sinners. You know it always amazes me that men who are so educated can make such statements. Folks this is the 2nd biggest problem in the Church. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we are all STILL sinners. We are no longer under the law or being judged by the law as Jew or Gentile but we are now under grace. We were all determined sinners under the law BUT now we have been set free by the one who came to TAKE AWAY our sin. The Bible doesn't mean TAKE AWAY in some metaphoric figurative sense, NO He came and LITERALLY did His job and finished it, HE TOOK AWAY OUR SIN. WE ARE NO LONGER SINNERS LOVED ONES. HE HAS GIVEN US ALL POWER OVER ALL THE POWER OF TEMPTATION AND SIN ST LUKE 10:19. AS A MAN THINKETH SO IS HE IS THE TRICK OF THE devil. IF I THINK I AM A SINNER THEN IF I SIN I'M JUST DOING WHO AND WHAT I SAY AND THINK I AM. BELOVED ONES YOU ARE NOT SINNERS ANYMORE. DO NOT LET THE EDUCATION OF MEN KEEP YOU BEHOLDEN. SUBJECT AND HELD IN CAPTIVITY TO THE TRUTH WHICH MADE YOU FREE 2000 YEARS AGO, UNLESS YOU'DE RATHER MANAGE AND JUSTIFY YOUR SIN.
I love that question @26:00 because to those who preach once saved always saved the only gospel you need is a prayer.....I literally just left a Baptist church since the pastor insisted on preaching that after you accept jesus into your life you never have to obey God but you'll still be saved....that's just too much right there, that's giving people a license to sin instead of rebuking it
king bibibear I believe it is once saved always saved. Once we belong to God, no one can snatch us out of his hand. Those who go on living in sin after they are “saved”, are not actually saved. Those who are truly saved are those who hate sin, and turn away from it.
@@23tylbri yeah but theres people who have turned from sin then become apostates.....the devil was the closest to the glory of the father & even he lost his spot in heaven....the Israelites receieved the salvation of the lord to get out of Egypt but the ground still oppened up beneath them & swallowed them up.....jesus says that whoever doesnt stay in him is cast out into the fire so to have been in him those people wouldve had to experienced salvation but rejected it
king bibibear I agree with you, however, the Bible makes it clear that those who became apostate were never part of the faith to begin with. 1 John 2:19. So they didn’t lose their salvation, they never had it.
@@23tylbri words of jesus Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:2, 6 KJV bible.com/bible/1/jhn.15.2-6.KJV
king bibibear I don’t see what your point is? That verse goes right along with the verse in 1 John. True, sanctified, redeemed, regenerate Christians are who bare fruit. They are truly Christians. The ones who don’t and get cut off and thrown away are false converts. They are not true Christians. They never belonged to the faith to begin with. That’s what Jesus is addressing here. It also goes along with Matthew 7:21-23. True Christians cannot lose their salvation. The ones who get cut off, or are apostate or anything like that we’re never Christians. The Bible is very clear on that.
I read The Old Testament and I never saw that. What I do is pray and ask ALMIGHTY GOD to open my heart, soul, spirit, mind and eyes to HIS Word. Only then you get see, hear and honour HIS Word and RIGHTEOUSNESS, Sovereignty and realised HIS HOLINESS.
_The last question is about REPENT: for me its good that we should repent every day because we sin every day. So never stop repenting. We sin in minds, in words, and in actions every day. And sometimes we don't know we sin. So repent every day is good for us as a Truly Children of God and believers of Jesus Christ._
I knew a preacher who was not reformed but did believe that speaking in tongues had ceased he was in a meeting in Mexico when several men went to the altar he went to one man and first asked him if he could understand him the man said yes then he explained the plan of Salvation to him and he got saved afterwards the Pastor of the Church was talking to him and said he noticed them talking and said I thought you said that you couldn't speak Spanish Frank said I can't the Pastor said that man cannot speak a word of English Frank told me that was the only time he ever witnessed anything Supernatural as a Preacher.
There is little to no love shown in these response for the most part. The questions obviously came from some ppl that either have a diminished view or novice view of Scripture and should be treated as such. There is no need to believe someone for asking questions no matter how wrong the question is phrased. They are reaching and trying to understand themselves and God more. No soul is won to Christ without love but not forsaking the truth. Take a page from Ravi.
I hope that if all I'm hearing about Jr. is true, that everything from him be deleted...It is shameful and someone in his position has brought disgrace on the Lords name...Yes, he can be restored, BUT, I hope that he will never be seen representing Jesus in a position of power...He needs to sit in the back row...My heart is sick that such shame be brought upon the name of Jesus...
RC Jr has made himself a pariah among the Reformed. So he's abandoned the Reformed faith and become an Anabaptist rc-sproul-jr.blogspot.com/2019/04/rc-sproul-jr-abandons-reformed-faith.html
@Gomez Addams what you've heard is probably just a small percentage of the full scope of RC Jr's crimes and scandals. Yes, he absolutely needs to come down off the pulpit and take a seat in the pews next to the rest of us. He needs to stop masquerading as a pastor. Totally unfit and biblically disqualified to be a minister of the gospel, as the Spinderella Sproul blog has proven time and again.
@@Stanzi18 I know u wrote this 5months ago but u expressed my thoughts exactly. Believe Horton is Michael Horton and Wood... maybe David Wood the anti-Islamist Christian? If ur still interested lol
At time mark 23:30 to 25:40 I would say a Christian did not ask that question (at least not a true believer or mature believer....perhaps, could even be a rabble rouser).
I have to say, I absolutely loved Sproul Sr's responseto the fall of adam answer. He really is correct. I appreciated his passion for that answer and it just left everyone speechless!
Voddie nailed it... "We're assuming, that number one, that there are some Christian writers, leaders, historical figures out there that weren't sinners...right, 'cause whatever Luther wrote, here's a news flash-- what he thought was worse. I'm not talking about this issue, I just mean in general. He was a sinful man. He SAID sinful things, he THOUGHT sinful things, he DID sinful things- BUT SO ARE YOU. And It's always ironic to me that people want to dismiss Luther or Calvin or Edwards or whoever, because of some issue that they find out about in their lives, BUT they don't DISQUALIFY themselves for things they THINK and SAY and DO. The fact of the matter is, you know, God's never used a sinless man to write things for us. All of them are sinners. Um, so, unless you are getting ready to dismiss everything that's ever been written. Um, be real careful about whether or not somebody writing something true and helpful should be dismissed because they there are areas in their in life where they were inconsistent and hypocritical, because that's ALL OF US. " AMEN!
I'm pretty sure Luther, Calvin, Edwards, etc. would have some concerns with you and RC Jr sexting pics of your genitalia to each other while you were still married to another man (ref: Spinderella Sproul). They'd also have an issue with RC encouraging you to divorce your husband so he could marry you, a 3x divorcee, as did his Presbytery. So rather than submitting to them he bailed and demitted his ordination. But hey, we're all sinners! Hypocrisy normalized. So it's all good!
Lisa, ever since you and RC married 4 years ago you've been spinning your duplicitous "restoration narrative." Those of us who've personally known and worked with RC many years before you ever met him concluded that RC is a reprobate. Or as his close friend, and the man that ordained him in the Covenant Presbyterian Church, James McDonald stated, "RC Jr is a wolf in sheep's clothing." We can debate that if you like. What isn't debatable are the biblical requirements for ministry (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Tim. 3:1-7). RC fails to meet even one of those criteria, let alone all of them. None of those biblical standards require sinless perfection. It only requires a few basic things like moral integrity and a good reputation, the very things RC has proven by his unremitting scandals that he's devoid of. There are obvious reasons you've gotten so much push back on RC restoring himself to ministry. Contrary to your victim complex it has nothing to do with "we're being persecuted." Calling himself "Pastor" and "Rev." doesn't make it so. In addition to RC's multitudinous biblical disqualifications, he's not ordained. Demitting his last ordination so he could marry you, a 3 time divorcee, guarantees he'll never find a sympathetic denomination to ordain him again. You need to face the reality that RC will never be welcomed to be a minister of the gospel again, not in respectable company anyway. You're living in denial of the obvious. Either that or you already know these things but see certain advantages, likely financial, in continuing in your misguided _ministry_ fantasy. For example there's RC's weekly video in which he grifts for "donations" ostensibly to buy a very expensive piece of land to build a church on. Pretty obvious it'll take $millions. Not a chance anywhere near that much will ever come in. But maybe a few hundred thousand? Based on his history we already know where the donations go -- right in RC's pocket. So just anticipate getting lots more push back from those of us who see it for what it is -- a scam. RC Sproul Jr needs to face facts. It's well past time he sit down, shut up, and take a seat in the pews next to the rest of us. Time to get an honest day job where any further scandals he causes won't bring further shame and disgrace to the church.
@R.C. Sproul, Jr. Do you really think Voddie or any of the men you appear with here would consider you a "friend"? You've been persona non grata with every man in this video (other than your late father) ever since your blacked-out drunk driving and stoned on opioids arrest. Oh, and that Ashley Madison thing didn't help your "friendship" with any of these men either. They want nothing to do with you. Anyway... is this really you RC Jr commenting here? Or is it just your "sacred marriage" 3-times divorced wife affirming herself using your "voice" yet once again? Pulllllease Lisa! Your toxic narcissism is showing again.
Lol silly talk instead of going to the Jewish oracles of God they start with gentile creeds century’s removed from the original founding of the church Acts chapter 2. Like most evangelicals they err by going first to the epistles virtually ignoring the book of Acts where the Holy Spirit and real biblical salvation is recorded. Not judging these fine Godly mean however they absolutely teach another Jesus out side of the doctrine of Christ. Acts 2:37 the Jewish brethren who were gathered in Jerusalem for the feast of weeks aka Pentecost asked the man with the keys of the Kingdom what they must do to be (saved) (Acts 2:38) Peter replied,repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of (Jesus Christ) for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:39 The promise is unto you and these men to ,your children for (all) whom the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:40With many other words Peter warned them and he pleaded with them, save yourselves from this corrupt generation. Those who excepted his message were baptized and about 3000 souls were added to their number that day. Ask yourself what message did they except. Answer peters command to repent and command to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins
Reformed theology, Calvinists, Lutherans, Catholics, Baptists, methodists, etc are all off a little or much. There is only THE WAY OF HOLLINESS!! I here plenty of ideas that seem right mixed with pockets of truth. Decision.. let these guys teach you or let the Holy Spirit teach you. Choose wisely. Thank u God for Jesus, Thank u God for your Compassion!!
Interesting to hear Sproul Jr. speak on morality when he was just busted with a subscription to Ashley Madison. We don't need this type of hypocrite in the preaching of the gospel anymore.
@@zivieamora4324 There is overwhelming evidence that RC Jr is a pathological liar and a reprobate who preys on gullible Christians to line his own pockets (see the Spinderella Sproul blog). So perhaps it is you who needs to reevaluate?
Here’s what RC said: In August 2014, in a moment of weakness, pain, and from an unhealthy curiosity, I visited Ashley Madison. My goal was not to gather research for critical commentary, but to fan the flames of my imagination. There I found two gracious judgments. First, I felt the grace of fear. Second, I felt the grace of shame. I was there long enough to leave an old email address. And within minutes I left, never to return. I did not sign up for their service or interact with any clients. I have always remained faithful to my wife even after her passing … With the revelation of the hack has come the revelation of my sin. I recently informed the board of Ligonier Ministries, which has handled the matter internally, having suspended me until July 1, 2016. I also informed my presbytery which is also handling the matter internally. He confessed and repented publicly, so I think we should forgive him.
@@justanotherbaptistjew5659 Perhaps you missed my comment above? Before you aid and abet RC Jr in pushing a phony "He confessed and repented publicly" narrative you should examine the evidence that proves he did exactly the opposite of repenting. You can't repent when your confession is a pack of lies. RC Sproul Jr lied about his Ashley Madison "visit." See Spinderella Sproul for the proof.
The minimum amount of scripture we must be familiar with to he saved..... wow... well - 0. But it should light a fire within that person a desire to know as much as possible. Our elders will be the first to tell us that they never stop learning. Nor should we.
On some things - such as the question from Jesse, age 8: "If God wants us to spend all eternity with Him, why didn't He just put us with Him from the start?" - it is better to be humble and honest and say, "I/We just don't know." R.C., God rest his soul, gives a catechetical (?) answer. W-a-y too simplistic. (R.C. Jr.'s answer, although a bit more thoughtful, was no better.) Some things are mysteries and decisions known only to God. The "to bring glory to Himself" answer is - again - very simplistic and only reveals what God will do through the situation, not why the situation was the way it was or is what it is. God will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28-29) even given this truth - that we were not created "already fixed." Why did God allow for it to be this way or possibly establish, begin or plan it that way??? We don't really know. But, we DO know that He will glorify Himself by His interaction with every human being through it. And, I might also say that his answer to the man who expressed that he was struggling with anger at God over his son's death was - although academically correct - absolutely heartless, brazen, arrogant and lacked empathy. With all due respect, he might have benefited more from CPE than a Ph.D.
SPIRITREALISTICALLY HUMBLY FOCUS MYSTERIOUSLY MIRACULOUSLY TRUTHFULLY SINCERELY.....HAD NOT JEHOVAH GOD ALL MIGHTY THRU JESUS CHRIST YASHUA And TRUE Was NOT Then. UNIVERSAL WORLDWIDE WORLD PEOPLE Would NOT BE....In The BEGINING GOD.....Our GENES IS.... GENESIS
God has spoken, let God's Truth and his church say Amen! Everything that's an add on is a lie! Thank God for these men of God and all of his sheep who stand on The Foundation for which Christ laid.
I believe it is men like those here on this stage.They are the most dangerous ...wise men wisdom of this religious world, instead of the simplicity that is in Christ. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 2Ti 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 2Ti 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Some of these responses are disappointing. No one spoke on the gift of tongues. look in the scripture 1 Cor 12, the gifts of the spirit...there are diverse tongues. I Cor 13 even mentions tongues of angels and in 1 Cor 14 it mentions unknown tongue one's personal communication that is known by God because it is produced by the Holy Spirit... this speaking/praying in tongues edifies one's self. THis is important...it is an expression of the Holy Spirit and received by faith. Other tongues or languages are translated and the enemy knows what you are saying. Unknown tongues are interpreted only by the Holy Spirit, the devil does not know what you are saying and neither do you, unless revealed by the Holy Spirit. Unknown tongues brings edification...a building up, an inner understanding and knowing, a strength, it ministers to God and aligns the body with the Word of God. I have and continue to experience divine healing and live in divine health as I yield and press into this spiritual dialogue with our Heavenly Father. Paul said, I speak in tongues(his prayer life) more than all of you...Get a clue people... Paul walked in demonstrated power of the Holy Ghost...he survived several shipwrecks, stonings, deadly vipers, etc. AND the man wrote at least 13 books of the New Testament. Folks, the gift is available to you... pray and ask God for it. He would not withhold any good thing from you. When you hear others pray or speaking in tongues....you ought to enter into thanksgiving and praise....knowing you are in their midst and that blessing is near you...You know they are Christians right. Stomp on the devil's head and give up the praise! Hallelujah!!! Bless the Lord at ALL times.
I am not a fan of Sproul myself. I find him often arrogant and condescending. I disagree with his eschatology, his soteriology and his paedobaptist practise. That said, his answer to the question about why was God so tough on Adam was so good I found myself saying " Amen, brother, Amen". There are many Preachers out there we may not like who even teach some things we do not agree with, but that does not mean they are not good God fearing men and while I am not at all drawn to Sproul I can appreciate his contributions to the church body as a whole.
If we do not need to do anything to get to heaven once we have repented & live accordingly, & our sins are already forgiven, why do we have to keep repenting. Isn't that in it self doing something if we have already been forgiven?
Grace to us all and may God bless our fathers in the faith for this wonderful time of Q and A. But please, I'm still not clear with the response to the question of speaking in tongues.
Tongues are different languages - English, Spanish, German, French.... And Scripture states that there must always be someone there to translate that which was spoken. Think of it - God is not the author of confusion. So why would anyone pray with me in a tongue that I do not understand? It only proves to me that the person is more focused on self than God Almighty.
Are you stating that even if you can not be a Christian if you have not found a church that holds biblical views and that is the reason you do not go to church?
Paul makes it quite clear what he means about women’s head covering. Just obey it. After all, you men follow what is says written there concerning men NOT covering their heads. None of you men would enter the Lord’s house with your hats on. It follows on therefore that women should, doing what the scriptures say.
i DO WONDER HOW ANY OF THOSE PREACHERS(?) WOULD EXPLAIN THIS VERSE!!! "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." HEB 8:11
I don't know if you ever got an answer to your question, but there is one. I don't know if you know the Lord Jesus Christ or not, but if you can read online The Bible Knowledge Commentary, this passage and context will become more clear to you. God had given to Israel a covenant full of promises but also warnings. But when the warnings weren't heeded, God made another covenant called the New Covenant. Read about it.

Howdy I'm hoping you're the KT from reformedapologeticsministries,com? If you are not than just ignore this message! You are at war with the catholics and I'm with you on that but why is it that you follow them on the sabbath change?? The catholics boost about changing it right in our faces and even say that it proves their authority on doctrine cause all the protestants went right along with them!!! If you love me keep my Commandments! Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy! God never changes!! He surely didn't change the sabbath!! The Bible says that his chosen people, his remnant church will be the church that keeps the commandments! If you break one you break them all!! Just wondering if you're going to study that doctrine?? Or, are you going to do what the catholic church wants you to do??I hope you wake up!
I love this question which begins this discussion I would state: defining sin That's something that is a core issue. You can't see it taste it touch it or locate it. Yet it exists and hamartilogy (the study of sin) is missing from any and all understanding. What is it? I would add it's temporal and God is eternal. He alone is altogether separate. He is not like man. He is not equal. Righteousness and Evil are not competing and definitely not equal. That is the core issue and missing from and leading to all these other others we struggle in and with.
@@justanotherbaptistjew5659 Yes, you've said that before, labeling Spinderella Sproul an "unhealthy obsession."

R.C.: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?
Audience: laughter building....
R.C. I'M SERIOUS!!!
Audience: ..................
R.C. my favorite theologian!!
searcher for truth me too. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, “Sproul always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them”
Right?! 😂
RC Sproul doesn’t know why you are laughing, he’s talking about you.
A rephrasing of one of Paul D Washer’s most famous quote
I drive a truck for a living...so I don't have the opportunity to go to a physical church.But, I do learn the words of GOD from my my pastor john macarthur every day..sometimes all day long
amen brother!
Man, I'd hate to piss off R.C Sproul LOL, that's OLD SCHOOL Christianity for you, no holds barred. Love it.
Your a coward if you fear to piss on someone 🤗
Right?! "Take a sip of Diet Coke, Dr. Sproul." lol I treasure that man, though. It hit me hard the other day that he's no longer here. We desperately need more like him; people willing to stand on tables and defend the sufficiency and inerrancy of scripture. I can't wait to fellowship with him in heaven.
OLD SCHOOL christianity as in true BIBLICAL christianity
Yep he savage!
@@laurapug5389 Right. He said to the greiving mother to repent. I get it though. We have all gone thru this. When my dad died I was so angry with God I've since repented of that
Mr. Baucham, As a previous Arminian for 56 years, now Reformed, I, too, deal with this daily. Thank you for your words. 11:28 , on.
Amen! Voddie is right on point! We all are sinners, it it the righteousness of Jesus Christ that declares us not guilty before God!
Amen. I couldn't agree more.
Amen
Amen
That is biblical. GOD is Sovereign thus it is His decision who will be used.
Dr. Sproul was not a man to swim with the current, a very rare virtue in a free country indeed..
The old man sitting at the end??
"What's wrong with you people?!!"-RC Sproul. #theyseemesprouling #theyhatin #rekt 😎😎👊👊
Brother Voddie nailed the first question. Idolatry is the perennial pathology in the heart of men.
I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of Jeremiah 17:9-10, “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings." and Mark 10:18, “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good-except God alone.".
That Yeshua, as the son of G-d who knew no sin, pointed to His (our) Abba as the only one who is good, and knowing that man's heart is deceitful and wicked by default is all I need to know what we are all capable of under the Adam federal headship. We are at war with it every day in different ways and will continue to until our race is finished.
Presenting our vessels to Him, and asking Him to search and know our ways, that He may cleanse us from all unrighteousness with the blood of His only begotten son, and asking His Holy Spirit to fill our spirit and soul with His water of everlasting life that it may overflow into our heart and our mind that it may produce the fruit of the spirit in our lives and shine His light to the world while preserving His word and truth with His salt is a never-ending process and practice.
Dr Bauchaum is such an incredible blessing, along with Dr Sproul and all of the other panelists.
R.C. Sproul is a treasure, I think the greatest theologian of our time. And Dr. Nichols is so learned and intelligent, I would read everything he has written.
Sproul has made such a huge difference in my life. My understanding and love of scripture has grown so much since I found him. Praise God for Sproul.
I appreciate these types of discussions. Thank you Brothers.
As Voddie articulated very well. It all comes down to the "man" centeredness of the world. The only way to overcome the world is to recognize that within ourselves is the problem. Our propensity for evil, and our lack of desire to recognize this within ourselves is the sum of the problems we face. The very definition "of the world," biblically speaking; is so wedded in us that to come out of it is simply impossible without a mighty work of God. Those outside of the Faith never understand when I comment to them that they make themselves a god in denying God. That by usurping the work of God, they themselves have defined the relative work of "good" as personal, therefore denying the relative work of God as impersonal, thus improbable.
I am so blessed by and through all of the Pastors in this video, but seeing Dr Sproul and Dr Bauchaum on the same stage answering and discussing Q&As together is such a wonderful and blessed thing. Thank you for so freely sharing these Q&A series. Numbers 6:24-26 and Shabbat Shalom. 🙏
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm always exhorted and strengthened to press on toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus through Ligonier Ministries. May the Lord's grace and peace be multiplied to your spirits.
R.C. lives on.... and on, and on, and on..... Thank You, Lord for these most precious videos of his preaching. Amen.
Love Voddie's reaction at 44:09!
I’m a new Christian and it’s really hard to
Understand they’re answers cuz they’re so smart lol
You’re listening to the best. These men are deeply knowledged Christian theologians who study the Word of God righteously and fervently. Thank you for your Faith in Jesus Christ. I will keep you, and all of us, in prayer.
That was cute and sweet. I pray that the Lord lifts your mind and spirit so that you have greater understanding, and also that you can better appreciate exactly who God has made you. You sound like a treasure to me.
Praise be to God for Voddie being at this conference for this reason, so many Arminians want to put down Calvin for the things they may have read about happening in his life that were sinful, as if, they themselves are not sinners. The bottom line is this, is what Calvin preached and taught, Biblical? Does it line up with the will of God and if you are being honest you would have to answer YES. Arminians want to try and expose this man’s sin’s without first emptying their own closets of which in itself is sin because of un-righteous Judgement (Matt 7:3)
I agree !
Theologos If I have to explain to you what I mean it's because the people I'm referring to are you...repent lol.
I think Armenianism and Calvinism both have things right. And I don't believe you have to choose between the two.
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 I believe God is sovereign. But in his sovereignty he has given man free will to believe in his Son.
@@ElectOne22_ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:3-14 ESV
bible.com/bible/59/eph.1.3-14.ESV
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:1-10 ESV
bible.com/bible/59/eph.2.1-10.ESV
There are many many verses like these. 🙂I would encourage you to read the passages regarding Gods sovereignty and man's bondage to sin.🙏 I think you will find the bible is very clear about man's inability to choose to believe before he is changed by God. How can that which does not believe change to a state of belief when it is dead?🤷♂️
Really loved this Q&A session. Thank you Ligonier for all you do :) :)
I thank God for His grace in my life. I grew up in a charismatic church but after finding great men of God i finally see that im far away from His path.
Preach just like Jesus did that's all..That's the truth..That's what God wants..Preach for God's glory not for the wold..
These sessions teach so much! Especially for those , who are unable through illness and disability, to be “in” an active church community, anymore. Thank you, and Glory to God! 🙏🧡
Some great students of the Word
Loving this broadcast. Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge for God's glory. I can now use this as a tool to help others in some of these difficult questions.
"Read all the way to the right side of the book"

If more modern day churches were 1% as faithful and devoted to the truth as these guys we wouldnt be living in the age of the false church.
Love the second question from Jesse, the 8 year old!
Love Sproul. He just- got so lit. And then he just said, "i wanted to be lively." xD
I Love R.C
You mean Senior, not Junior? Nothing to love about Jr.
Absolutely , nobody capable to come or choose God by human ability. Man always chooses wrong way . The only way Man becomes save because God forgive their sins.People’s become save not because they receive Jesus , because God forgive their sin , God action is count not our actions . That’s why most teaching now days we have to receive Jesus in order to become save .
Amen!!. Well said. It's such a blessing to be taught by these giants of the word. Thank you LORD JESUS. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Simplest explanation? FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE. No works. No feelings. FAITH in CHRIST'S sacrifice for man. Nothing else. Repentance is changing your mind . Changing non belief to belief after recognizing you are a sinner and needs CHRIST as Savior.
Oh did Dr. Voodie say we are all sinners. You know it always amazes me that men who are so educated can make such statements. Folks this is the 2nd biggest problem in the Church. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we are all STILL sinners. We are no longer under the law or being judged by the law as Jew or Gentile but we are now under grace. We were all determined sinners under the law BUT now we have been set free by the one who came to TAKE AWAY our sin. The Bible doesn't mean TAKE AWAY in some metaphoric figurative sense, NO He came and LITERALLY did His job and finished it, HE TOOK AWAY OUR SIN. WE ARE NO LONGER SINNERS LOVED ONES. HE HAS GIVEN US ALL POWER OVER ALL THE POWER OF TEMPTATION AND SIN ST LUKE 10:19. AS A MAN THINKETH SO IS HE IS THE TRICK OF THE devil. IF I THINK I AM A SINNER THEN IF I SIN I'M JUST DOING WHO AND WHAT I SAY AND THINK I AM. BELOVED ONES YOU ARE NOT SINNERS ANYMORE. DO NOT LET THE EDUCATION OF MEN KEEP YOU BEHOLDEN. SUBJECT AND HELD IN CAPTIVITY TO THE TRUTH WHICH MADE YOU FREE 2000 YEARS AGO, UNLESS YOU'DE RATHER MANAGE AND JUSTIFY YOUR SIN.
Evil piece of trash nothing worse than loony self righteous cults masquerading as religion you are not even clever at all
I love R.C.
I trust you mean Senior and not Junior? Not much to love about Jr.
@@carvermanor Agree
I love that question @26:00 because to those who preach once saved always saved the only gospel you need is a prayer.....I literally just left a Baptist church since the pastor insisted on preaching that after you accept jesus into your life you never have to obey God but you'll still be saved....that's just too much right there, that's giving people a license to sin instead of rebuking it
king bibibear I believe it is once saved always saved. Once we belong to God, no one can snatch us out of his hand. Those who go on living in sin after they are “saved”, are not actually saved. Those who are truly saved are those who hate sin, and turn away from it.
@@23tylbri yeah but theres people who have turned from sin then become apostates.....the devil was the closest to the glory of the father & even he lost his spot in heaven....the Israelites receieved the salvation of the lord to get out of Egypt but the ground still oppened up beneath them & swallowed them up.....jesus says that whoever doesnt stay in him is cast out into the fire so to have been in him those people wouldve had to experienced salvation but rejected it
king bibibear I agree with you, however, the Bible makes it clear that those who became apostate were never part of the faith to begin with. 1 John 2:19. So they didn’t lose their salvation, they never had it.
@@23tylbri words of jesus
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
John 15:2, 6 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/jhn.15.2-6.KJV
king bibibear I don’t see what your point is? That verse goes right along with the verse in 1 John. True, sanctified, redeemed, regenerate Christians are who bare fruit. They are truly Christians. The ones who don’t and get cut off and thrown away are false converts. They are not true Christians. They never belonged to the faith to begin with. That’s what Jesus is addressing here. It also goes along with Matthew 7:21-23.
True Christians cannot lose their salvation. The ones who get cut off, or are apostate or anything like that we’re never Christians. The Bible is very clear on that.
Priceless! "How can we overcome the view from the Old Testament of an Angry, unloving, etc. God?"
My answer: READ IT!
I read The Old Testament and I never saw that.
What I do is pray and ask ALMIGHTY GOD to open my heart, soul, spirit, mind and eyes to HIS Word. Only then you get see, hear and honour HIS Word and RIGHTEOUSNESS, Sovereignty and realised HIS HOLINESS.
All "issues" stem from what "I" or some expert "think" about everything .
tHE STRONGEST ENEMY IS PREACHERS WHO DONT KNOW GOD AND NOT PREACHING THE TRUTH!!! MISLEADING 1000S OR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!!
Awesome stuff. Food for the soul.
_The last question is about REPENT: for me its good that we should repent every day because we sin every day. So never stop repenting. We sin in minds, in words, and in actions every day. And sometimes we don't know we sin. So repent every day is good for us as a Truly Children of God and believers of Jesus Christ._
BEST Q&A, SINCERE QUESTIONS, BETTER STILL, MOUNTAINS OF SINCERE ANSWERS
Love the amazing truths and wisdom revealed here!
Strongest enemy is hypocrisy SIR
I felt in my mind.
Your imagination you mean
Everything Dr. Baucham said about the father-son relationship can be said for mothers and daughters.
I knew a preacher who was not reformed but did believe that speaking in tongues had ceased he was in a meeting in Mexico when several men went to the altar he went to one man and first asked him if he could understand him the man said yes then he explained the plan of Salvation to him and he got saved afterwards the Pastor of the Church was talking to him and said he noticed them talking and said I thought you said that you couldn't speak Spanish Frank said I can't the Pastor said that man cannot speak a word of English Frank told me that was the only time he ever witnessed anything Supernatural as a Preacher.
There is little to no love shown in these response for the most part. The questions obviously came from some ppl that either have a diminished view or novice view of Scripture and should be treated as such. There is no need to believe someone for asking questions no matter how wrong the question is phrased. They are reaching and trying to understand themselves and God more. No soul is won to Christ without love but not forsaking the truth. Take a page from Ravi.
I hope that if all I'm hearing about Jr. is true, that everything from him be deleted...It is shameful and someone in his position has brought disgrace on the Lords name...Yes, he can be restored, BUT, I hope that he will never be seen representing Jesus in a position of power...He needs to sit in the back row...My heart is sick that such shame be brought upon the name of Jesus...
RC Jr has made himself a pariah among the Reformed. So he's abandoned the Reformed faith and become an Anabaptist rc-sproul-jr.blogspot.com/2019/04/rc-sproul-jr-abandons-reformed-faith.html
@Gomez Addams what you've heard is probably just a small percentage of the full scope of RC Jr's crimes and scandals. Yes, he absolutely needs to come down off the pulpit and take a seat in the pews next to the rest of us. He needs to stop masquerading as a pastor. Totally unfit and biblically disqualified to be a minister of the gospel, as the Spinderella Sproul blog has proven time and again.
Would love to see Baucham,Durbin, wood,horton, and piper do one of these
Who are wood and Horton? I love everyone else you mentioned so I'd probably really enjoy listening to those two.
@@Stanzi18 I know u wrote this 5months ago but u expressed my thoughts exactly. Believe Horton is Michael Horton and Wood... maybe David Wood the anti-Islamist Christian? If ur still interested lol
At time mark 23:30 to 25:40 I would say a Christian did not ask that question (at least not a true believer or mature believer....perhaps, could even be a rabble rouser).
I have to say, I absolutely loved Sproul Sr's responseto the fall of adam answer. He really is correct. I appreciated his passion for that answer and it just left everyone speechless!
Voddie nailed it... "We're assuming, that number one, that there are some Christian writers, leaders, historical figures out there that weren't sinners...right, 'cause whatever Luther wrote, here's a news flash-- what he thought was worse. I'm not talking about this issue, I just mean in general. He was a sinful man. He SAID sinful things, he THOUGHT sinful things, he DID sinful things- BUT SO ARE YOU. And It's always ironic to me that people want to dismiss Luther or Calvin or Edwards or whoever, because of some issue that they find out about in their lives, BUT they don't DISQUALIFY themselves for things they THINK and SAY and DO. The fact of the matter is, you know, God's never used a sinless man to write things for us. All of them are sinners. Um, so, unless you are getting ready to dismiss everything that's ever been written. Um, be real careful about whether or not somebody writing something true and helpful should be dismissed because they there are areas in their in life where they were inconsistent and hypocritical, because that's ALL OF US. " AMEN!
I'm pretty sure Luther, Calvin, Edwards, etc. would have some concerns with you and RC Jr sexting pics of your genitalia to each other while you were still married to another man (ref: Spinderella Sproul). They'd also have an issue with RC encouraging you to divorce your husband so he could marry you, a 3x divorcee, as did his Presbytery. So rather than submitting to them he bailed and demitted his ordination. But hey, we're all sinners! Hypocrisy normalized. So it's all good!
Lisa, ever since you and RC married 4 years ago you've been spinning your duplicitous "restoration narrative." Those of us who've personally known and worked with RC many years before you ever met him concluded that RC is a reprobate. Or as his close friend, and the man that ordained him in the Covenant Presbyterian Church, James McDonald stated, "RC Jr is a wolf in sheep's clothing." We can debate that if you like. What isn't debatable are the biblical requirements for ministry (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Tim. 3:1-7). RC fails to meet even one of those criteria, let alone all of them. None of those biblical standards require sinless perfection. It only requires a few basic things like moral integrity and a good reputation, the very things RC has proven by his unremitting scandals that he's devoid of.
There are obvious reasons you've gotten so much push back on RC restoring himself to ministry. Contrary to your victim complex it has nothing to do with "we're being persecuted." Calling himself "Pastor" and "Rev." doesn't make it so. In addition to RC's multitudinous biblical disqualifications, he's not ordained. Demitting his last ordination so he could marry you, a 3 time divorcee, guarantees he'll never find a sympathetic denomination to ordain him again. You need to face the reality that RC will never be welcomed to be a minister of the gospel again, not in respectable company anyway. You're living in denial of the obvious. Either that or you already know these things but see certain advantages, likely financial, in continuing in your misguided _ministry_ fantasy. For example there's RC's weekly video in which he grifts for "donations" ostensibly to buy a very expensive piece of land to build a church on. Pretty obvious it'll take $millions. Not a chance anywhere near that much will ever come in. But maybe a few hundred thousand? Based on his history we already know where the donations go -- right in RC's pocket. So just anticipate getting lots more push back from those of us who see it for what it is -- a scam.
RC Sproul Jr needs to face facts. It's well past time he sit down, shut up, and take a seat in the pews next to the rest of us. Time to get an honest day job where any further scandals he causes won't bring further shame and disgrace to the church.
@R.C. Sproul, Jr. Do you really think Voddie or any of the men you appear with here would consider you a "friend"? You've been persona non grata with every man in this video (other than your late father) ever since your blacked-out drunk driving and stoned on opioids arrest. Oh, and that Ashley Madison thing didn't help your "friendship" with any of these men either. They want nothing to do with you. Anyway... is this really you RC Jr commenting here? Or is it just your "sacred marriage" 3-times divorced wife affirming herself using your "voice" yet once again? Pulllllease Lisa! Your toxic narcissism is showing again.
The biggest problem is that self is still of utmost importance just like in the garden.
There is no anger towards God , how can there be ? God made all , He allowed us to have children , and others in our life .We owe God!
Miss you R. C.
He did put us with him from the beginning-we sinned
R.C.'s laugh. Never fails to make me laugh too.
WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
If i only knew ealier that this meme quote have so deep meaning behind it i would spam it everywhere i can :P
Voddie hit the nail on the head!!
Thank you!
Very informative and lively Q&A. May God bless you all.
Lol silly talk instead of going to the Jewish oracles of God they start with gentile creeds century’s removed from the original founding of the church Acts chapter 2.
Like most evangelicals they err by going first to the epistles virtually ignoring the book of Acts where the Holy Spirit and real biblical salvation is recorded.
Not judging these fine Godly mean however they absolutely teach another Jesus out side of the doctrine of Christ.
Acts 2:37 the Jewish brethren who were gathered in Jerusalem for the feast of weeks aka Pentecost asked the man with the keys of the Kingdom what they must do to be (saved) (Acts 2:38)
Peter replied,repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of (Jesus Christ) for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:39 The promise is unto you and these men to ,your children for (all) whom the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:40With many other words Peter warned them and he pleaded with them, save yourselves from this corrupt generation. Those who excepted his message were baptized and about 3000 souls were added to their number that day.
Ask yourself what message did they except.
Answer peters command to repent and command to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins
Reformed theology, Calvinists, Lutherans, Catholics, Baptists, methodists, etc are all off a little or much. There is only THE WAY OF HOLLINESS!! I here plenty of ideas that seem right mixed with pockets of truth. Decision.. let these guys teach you or let the Holy Spirit teach you. Choose wisely. Thank u God for Jesus, Thank u God for your Compassion!!
Interesting to hear Sproul Jr. speak on morality when he was just busted with a subscription to Ashley Madison. We don't need this type of hypocrite in the preaching of the gospel anymore.
Start listening to 41:31 on Voddie's response. Reevaluate.
@@zivieamora4324 There is overwhelming evidence that RC Jr is a pathological liar and a reprobate who preys on gullible Christians to line his own pockets (see the Spinderella Sproul blog). So perhaps it is you who needs to reevaluate?
Here’s what RC said:
In August 2014, in a moment of weakness, pain, and from an unhealthy curiosity, I visited Ashley Madison. My goal was not to gather research for critical commentary, but to fan the flames of my imagination. There I found two gracious judgments. First, I felt the grace of fear. Second, I felt the grace of shame. I was there long enough to leave an old email address. And within minutes I left, never to return. I did not sign up for their service or interact with any clients. I have always remained faithful to my wife even after her passing … With the revelation of the hack has come the revelation of my sin. I recently informed the board of Ligonier Ministries, which has handled the matter internally, having suspended me until July 1, 2016. I also informed my presbytery which is also handling the matter internally.
He confessed and repented publicly, so I think we should forgive him.
@@justanotherbaptistjew5659 Perhaps you missed my comment above? Before you aid and abet RC Jr in pushing a phony "He confessed and repented publicly" narrative you should examine the evidence that proves he did exactly the opposite of repenting. You can't repent when your confession is a pack of lies. RC Sproul Jr lied about his Ashley Madison "visit." See Spinderella Sproul for the proof.

I’m not really interested in going to a blog dedicated to one man’s faults.
I loved this, thanks so much Ligonier Ministries. Got bless you🙏🏼❤️
The minimum amount of scripture we must be familiar with to he saved..... wow... well - 0.
But it should light a fire within that person a desire to know as much as possible. Our elders will be the first to tell us that they never stop learning. Nor should we.
On some things - such as the question from Jesse, age 8: "If God wants us to spend all eternity with Him, why didn't He just put us with Him from the start?" - it is better to be humble and honest and say, "I/We just don't know." R.C., God rest his soul, gives a catechetical (?) answer. W-a-y too simplistic. (R.C. Jr.'s answer, although a bit more thoughtful, was no better.)
Some things are mysteries and decisions known only to God. The "to bring glory to Himself" answer is - again - very simplistic and only reveals what God will do through the situation, not why the situation was the way it was or is what it is. God will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28-29) even given this truth - that we were not created "already fixed." Why did God allow for it to be this way or possibly establish, begin or plan it that way??? We don't really know. But, we DO know that He will glorify Himself by His interaction with every human being through it.
And, I might also say that his answer to the man who expressed that he was struggling with anger at God over his son's death was - although academically correct - absolutely heartless, brazen, arrogant and lacked empathy. With all due respect, he might have benefited more from CPE than a Ph.D.
Amazing. Love these Q&As.
SPIRITREALISTICALLY HUMBLY FOCUS MYSTERIOUSLY MIRACULOUSLY TRUTHFULLY SINCERELY.....HAD NOT JEHOVAH GOD ALL MIGHTY THRU JESUS CHRIST YASHUA And TRUE Was NOT Then. UNIVERSAL WORLDWIDE WORLD PEOPLE Would NOT BE....In The BEGINING GOD.....Our GENES IS.... GENESIS
Regarding Luther's harsh words about_______, Sproul told the truth...and I appreciate that.
God has spoken, let God's Truth and his church say Amen! Everything that's an add on is a lie! Thank God for these men of God and all of his sheep who stand on The Foundation for which Christ laid.
Amir Harris: that's right on point Amir, took the words out my mouth
Dr Sproul the most accurate statement absolutely 👍
I believe it is men like those here on this stage.They are the most dangerous ...wise men wisdom of this religious world, instead of the simplicity that is in Christ.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
2Ti 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
2Ti 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Thank you for posting!
Some of these responses are disappointing. No one spoke on the gift of tongues. look in the scripture 1 Cor 12, the gifts of the spirit...there are diverse tongues. I Cor 13 even mentions tongues of angels and in 1 Cor 14 it mentions unknown tongue one's personal communication that is known by God because it is produced by the Holy Spirit... this speaking/praying in tongues edifies one's self. THis is important...it is an expression of the Holy Spirit and received by faith. Other tongues or languages are translated and the enemy knows what you are saying. Unknown tongues are interpreted only by the Holy Spirit, the devil does not know what you are saying and neither do you, unless revealed by the Holy Spirit. Unknown tongues brings edification...a building up, an inner understanding and knowing, a strength, it ministers to God and aligns the body with the Word of God. I have and continue to experience divine healing and live in divine health as I yield and press into this spiritual dialogue with our Heavenly Father. Paul said, I speak in tongues(his prayer life) more than all of you...Get a clue people... Paul walked in demonstrated power of the Holy Ghost...he survived several shipwrecks, stonings, deadly vipers, etc. AND the man wrote at least 13 books of the New Testament. Folks, the gift is available to you... pray and ask God for it. He would not withhold any good thing from you. When you hear others pray or speaking in tongues....you ought to enter into thanksgiving and praise....knowing you are in their midst and that blessing is near you...You know they are Christians right. Stomp on the devil's head and give up the praise! Hallelujah!!! Bless the Lord at ALL times.
Tongues are for the un-believer
Please watch a video called "THE MARK OF THE BEAST" by Hope Through Prophecy
I am not a fan of Sproul myself. I find him often arrogant and condescending. I disagree with his eschatology, his soteriology and his paedobaptist practise. That said, his answer to the question about why was God so tough on Adam was so good I found myself saying " Amen, brother, Amen". There are many Preachers out there we may not like who even teach some things we do not agree with, but that does not mean they are not good God fearing men and while I am not at all drawn to Sproul I can appreciate his contributions to the church body as a whole.
Love RC Love Voddie Two Of the Best Preachers Ever
51:18 yeah, but being a part of the body of Christ does not mean the body of a specific church
The body of Christ is all those who believe. That’s it.

It is time to quit placing labels on people, and worshiping of the same God. Example the 7 churhs in revelation.
If we do not need to do anything to get to heaven once we have repented & live accordingly, & our sins are already forgiven, why do we have to keep repenting. Isn't that in it self doing something if we have already been forgiven?
What's the name of the sermon rc. Sproul did on uzzah?
A Consuming Fire
Thanx
Finally
These are all Calvinist ?
If not why would any clear thinking BornAgain Christian be on this panel.
I am amazed at how much father R.C. and son look, speak, and even sit alike!
@indria drayton you'd be more so at the Blog... Google Spinderella.

Who else saw the thumbnail and knew right away?
I attest that GOD cannot be known apart from the Gospel
Grace to us all and may God bless our fathers in the faith for this wonderful time of Q and A. But please, I'm still not clear with the response to the question of speaking in tongues.
Tongues are different languages - English, Spanish, German, French....
And Scripture states that there must always be someone there to translate that which was spoken.
Think of it - God is not the author of confusion. So why would anyone pray with me in a tongue that I do not understand? It only proves to me that the person is more focused on self than God Almighty.
Are you stating that even if you can not be a Christian if you have not found a church that holds biblical views and that is the reason you do not go to church?
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Thank you all 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
TULIP
38:14 is one of my favorite parts. #2LBCF
Great Questions & Answers. Thank you for sharing.
Well..one thing is for sure: Dr Sproul knows who God is now😮
Paul makes it quite clear what he means about women’s head covering. Just obey it. After all, you men follow what is says written there concerning men NOT covering their heads. None of you men would enter the Lord’s house with your hats on. It follows on therefore that women should, doing what the scriptures say.
who cares
i DO WONDER HOW ANY OF THOSE PREACHERS(?) WOULD EXPLAIN THIS VERSE!!! "No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know
the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the
greatest." HEB 8:11
I don't know if you ever got an answer to your question, but there is one. I don't know if you know the Lord Jesus Christ or not, but if you can read online The Bible Knowledge Commentary, this passage and context will become more clear to you. God had given to Israel a covenant full of promises but also warnings. But when the warnings weren't heeded, God made another covenant called the New Covenant. Read about it.
@@carollaquay2022 I KNOW THAT...I JUST WONDER WHY THEY DONT KNOW! JESUS HAS BEEN MY LIFE SINCE I WAS A CHILD.
I GROW IN HIM CONSTANTLY.HE IS MY LIFE!!!
I love these Guys!
Awesome.
Howdy
I'm hoping you're the KT from reformedapologeticsministries,com? If you are not than just ignore this message! You are at war with the catholics and I'm with you on that but why is it that you follow them on the sabbath change??
The catholics boost about changing it right in our faces and even say that it proves their authority on doctrine cause all the protestants went right along with them!!! If you love me keep my Commandments! Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy! God never changes!! He surely didn't change the sabbath!! The Bible says that his chosen people, his remnant church will be the church that keeps the commandments! If you break one you break them all!! Just wondering if you're going to study that doctrine?? Or, are you going to do what the catholic church wants you to do??I hope you wake up!

No I am not that Keith Thompson although I do know him.
I love this question which begins this discussion
I would state: defining sin
That's something that is a core issue. You can't see it taste it touch it or locate it. Yet it exists and hamartilogy (the study of sin) is missing from any and all understanding. What is it?
I would add it's temporal and God is eternal. He alone is altogether separate. He is not like man. He is not equal. Righteousness and Evil are not competing and definitely not equal.
That is the core issue and missing from and leading to all these other others we struggle in and with.
How is RC Jr doing ?
Hopefully off the booze and opioids. Never can tell for sure with alcoholics though.
What happened to him ?

Wow. A whole blog dedicated to one person’s faults seem like a very unwise thing to have or follow.
@@justanotherbaptistjew5659 Yes, you've said that before, labeling Spinderella Sproul an "unhealthy obsession." Seems like you're the one who's obsessed and unwise -- judging something you refuse to look at -- willfully remaining ignorant and encouraging others with your ignorant comments to likewise remain ignorant of. As they say, "Ignorance is bliss."
