I miss RC Sproal and I’m sure I will see him again after the Lord takes me home

[conniedeyoung]

Wonderful godly men speaking the words of God so all can understand!! Listen to them!

[ggsheet]

What a great response by Mohler, when we talk about our faith and who the only true G-d is, our words should be in line with scripture, leave little to no room for our own assumption or logic, our words should be the same as Christ’s words and the same as the prophets words which are the voices that G-d used to describe us and Himself.

[Allthekingshorses]

wow... their response to abortion is both loving and very truthful.

I really enjoyed the Ligonier conference as a first time visitor :)

[NORAD-AFB]

Very good and accurate explanation Dan.

[elavaney]

Regarding the question about abortion, what does the post-abortive woman expect people to say when she tells them she's had an abortion? Most conservative, strongly pro-life Christians would be horrified, and not know what to say. I'm grateful RC pointed out that we should disapprove of what she's done.

[willpower]

RC is right but how are we to understand the verse that God is not willing that any should perish but all come to faith.

[maryjaneferris]

The only unpardonable sin is not believing in the Christ. Jesus!

[justanotherbaptistjew]

14:00

Not only did Jesus Himself say that, but His Apostle John repeated it:

Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
— 1 John 2:22-23

[pedroviaud]

A question I would like to ask is why is it that Jesus said we shall do greater works than those he did and the world hasn’t seen miracles as those that Jesus performed

[goldenstar]

The Bible says there a degrees of punishment however it doesn't matter if the furnace is 5000 degree or degrees, when you on fire you are on fire.

[benta_kalabaw]

Mohler be thinking, should take it easy this time or I'll be taking heat from RC.

[wilsonlainglaing]

Everyone has a measure of faith ..mustard seed.

I need a music piece at the 13 minute mark

[edwardfriedrich]

It sound like the aloners conversation

[RGD]

I have heard lots of people saying that the Old Testament people were saved by looking forward to the cross as we are saved by looking back to the cross.

I believe that they were influenced by the doctrine of John Calvin.

However I cannot agree with this concept because It will contradict several verses in the bible.
For instance: Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins
( Hebrews 9:22 )
Christ died once and for all ( Romans 6:10 )

Abraham, David, Solomon, Samson, etc were not yet saved until Christ shed His blood at the cross,
They were potentially saved but not yet saved. There sins were not yet remitted until the shed blood of Christ.

To be saved means to be born again or to be regenerated.
Obviously they were not yet regenerated otherwise David should have not committed a grievous sins of adultery and murder...

[RGD]

Where did Steven Lawson get the idea that the old testament people were saved by looking forward to the cross as we are saved by looking back to the cross?

Is this also Calvin's doctrine? I do not think that this is biblically correct.

Will somebody answer my question in lieu of Steven Lawson?

[RGD]

At 1:25 The question was: If God gives faith and He wants everyone to be saved, why does He not give faith to everyone? (01:25)

Sproul did not answer it correctly, He also ignored 1 Timothy 2:4...

Too much of Calvinism can lead you astray...

God only saves his favorites. So anyone in the comments enjoy life. If your not called God hates you and is glorified by you being in hell. Because he is love. Insane people will have an issue with what I said.
