We thank you for
joining us for 3ABN Today,
00:00:01.33\00:00:03.10
Bible Q and A.
00:00:03.13\00:00:04.47
We just have a few moments
left at the end of the program.
00:00:04.50\00:00:06.70
I want to give each
one of you an opportunity
00:00:06.74\00:00:08.44
for final thoughts.
00:00:08.47\00:00:09.80
We'll start with
you, Pastor James.
00:00:09.84\00:00:11.17
Well, I love, this
is my first program.
00:00:11.21\00:00:12.64
You all know that.
So I love this program.
00:00:12.67\00:00:14.84
I love questions and answers.
00:00:14.88\00:00:16.21
One of the things
that really hit me
00:00:16.24\00:00:17.61
as I was
listening 'cause you know,
00:00:17.65\00:00:18.98
these guys went first,
which really helped me too was,
00:00:19.01\00:00:21.38
we have such a variety of
approaches to the scriptures
00:00:21.42\00:00:26.49
and the way we
answer scriptures.
00:00:26.52\00:00:27.86
A number of the questions
that you guys answered,
00:00:27.89\00:00:29.36
I wouldn't have
approached it that way,
00:00:29.39\00:00:31.03
but I was so
blessed by the approach
00:00:31.06\00:00:33.03
and by the thoughts
you were bringing out.
00:00:33.06\00:00:34.46
And I just thought,
you know, the Word of God
00:00:34.46\00:00:35.80
is so beautiful in
that way that you can have
00:00:35.83\00:00:38.00
different
personalities approaching it
00:00:38.03\00:00:39.67
from different angles
and coming up with insights
00:00:39.70\00:00:42.17
that can really be a blessing.
00:00:42.20\00:00:43.54
Amen. Beautiful.
00:00:43.57\00:00:44.91
Amen. Yeah.
00:00:44.94\00:00:46.27
So Jesus says in John 14:6,
00:00:46.31\00:00:47.64
"I am the way, the
truth and the life."
00:00:47.68\00:00:49.11
And it's
interesting because three times,
00:00:49.14\00:00:50.91
John 14, 15, and 16,
He refers to the Spirit
00:00:50.95\00:00:53.95
as the Spirit of truth.
00:00:53.98\00:00:55.72
And back to that
question regarding the blasphemy
00:00:55.75\00:00:58.05
of the Holy Spirit.
00:00:58.09\00:00:59.42
You know, when we reject truth,
00:00:59.45\00:01:00.86
that is the truth of God's Word,
00:01:00.89\00:01:02.39
we are
ultimately rejecting Christ
00:01:02.42\00:01:04.33
and our conscience is
slowly becoming seared
00:01:04.36\00:01:08.46
and sealed by deceiving spirits.
00:01:08.50\00:01:10.03
Of course, I'm
referencing 1 Timothy 4:1-2.
00:01:10.07\00:01:12.90
So, we've got to make
sure that our conscience
00:01:12.93\00:01:14.87
doesn't become seared
with the devil's deceptions,
00:01:14.90\00:01:17.61
but be intact with the
Holy Spirit's guidance.
00:01:17.64\00:01:20.14
Amen.
00:01:20.18\00:01:21.51
I just want to remind
you that we cannot substitute
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.61
human authority for
the authority of Christ.
00:01:23.65\00:01:26.28
Only God can forgive sin.
00:01:26.31\00:01:29.02
And Micah 7:18 says,
00:01:29.05\00:01:32.52
"Who is a God like
You, pardoning iniquity
00:01:32.55\00:01:34.86
and passing over
the transgression
00:01:34.89\00:01:37.73
of His heritage?
00:01:37.76\00:01:39.36
He will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea."
00:01:39.39\00:01:44.53
Amen. What a promise.
00:01:44.57\00:01:45.90
That's beautiful.
00:01:45.93\00:01:47.27
I love what you
shared Pastor James,
00:01:47.30\00:01:48.64
'cause I liked that
about Bible Q and A,
00:01:48.67\00:01:50.34
because we get to
learn from each other.
00:01:50.37\00:01:51.91
What a gift that is.
00:01:51.94\00:01:53.31
Thank you so much for
sharing your knowledge
00:01:53.34\00:01:54.68
of the Word and
your knowledge of Jesus.
00:01:54.71\00:01:56.48
And we thank you for joining us.
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.35
We'll see you next Monday.
00:01:58.38\00:02:00.12
