Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1093 (12-19-25)

Not Everyone Who Claims to Be a Child of God is a Child of God

~ “They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.” 1 John 2:19

~That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses (sins) against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”2 Corinthians 5:19

~ There are many deceptions going on today, both in the so-called Christian church and that of those on the outside. Many have gone out from us, but they didn’t and don’t belong to us. The message of completed forgiveness is seldom taught today. Even in so-called Grace “churches” they teach forgiveness only for the elect few. They teach come to God to “get your sins forgiven.” And think it through folks, if Jesus only died for the elect few, how would anyone know if they are truly the elect few or not? And then there are others, who you would have thought grabbed a hold of the message of TRUTH taught by TRUTH tellers, of forgiveness having been completed at the cross, yet they go off believing all kinds of religion lies and joining themselves to even greater satanic lies and deception. One has to wonder, if people that proclaimed they know or knew Truth, yet now are walking in satan’s lies, if they were truly saved. And as time goes on, it becomes clearer that many are Not saved, because the Holy Spirit would have been renewing their mind with TRUTH and they would have come to their senses.

Bob George mentions the importance of the centrality of Christ in addressing life problems and issues.
The show aims to help people experience a life of faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ.

Discussion on 1 Corinthians 7:8-10

Lisa from St. Mary, Florida, asks about the meaning of verses 8-10 in 1 Corinthians, specifically about the unmarried, divorced, and fornicators.
Bob George explains the three categories: virgins, widows, and the unmarried (divorced).
He clarifies that the passage is not about promiscuity but about the context of marriage and the impact of divorce or death on sexual passion.
Bob George emphasizes that the Virgin does not burn with passion because they have not experienced it, unlike the divorced or widowed.

Application of 1 Corinthians 7:8-10 to a Divorced Woman

Lisa shares a story about a friend who is divorced and considering remarriage, despite well-meaning friends advising her to stay single or reconcile with her ex-husband.
Bob George explains that the passage is about married couples and not about divorced individuals.
He advises the friend to lead a quiet life and tend to her own business, regardless of others’ opinions.
Bob George reassures Lisa that the choice to remarry or stay single is the friend’s personal decision, guided by her faith.

Bob George’s Take on Mormonism

Dennis from Galt, California, calls in with a heavy heart, as his son Brian has converted to Mormonism.
Bob George expresses skepticism about Brian’s salvation, suggesting he might be deceived or never truly applied the gospel.
He criticizes the foundation of Mormonism, particularly the claim of receiving revelation from an angel and the translation of the Book of Mormon.
Bob George emphasizes the importance of logical thinking and the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers.

Clarification on Baptism and Salvation

Edwin from Hercules, California, asks about the significance of water baptism and the Holy Spirit baptism.
Bob George explains that water baptism is a human act, while the Holy Spirit baptism is a divine act that saves.
He emphasizes that only the Holy Spirit can place believers into the Body of Christ, not human actions like baptism.
Bob George criticizes the idea that human baptism can save, as it is only a symbol and not the actual act of salvation.

Chris’s Confusion About Catholicism and Salvation

Chris from Colorado Springs, raised Catholic, expresses confusion about being labeled as not a true believer of Jesus Christ.
Bob George clarifies that both Catholics and Protestants can be true believers, but it depends on their faith in Jesus.
He explains that salvation comes through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection, not through religious rituals or church membership.
Bob George reassures Chris that as long as he has faith in Jesus, he is a born-again believer, regardless of his religious background.

“It says in the Scripture even the elect can be deceived, and so I don’t know whether he’s saved or not. It could be the case of the soil. He heard and heard but never applied. I don’t know how a person who is truly born again could all of a sudden develop another Jesus, especially by some heathenistic human being that supposedly looked into a pair of binoculars and read some Egyptian hieroglyphics that we call the Book of Mormon. This was a scoundrel. This wasn’t a person on the part of even a good disciple. Let alone being the founder, so to speak, of a religion. But to think, first to me, any thinking person who would think that a person said that I got my revelation from an angel, when the Bible says that either if, even if we or an angel of light should appear and teaching the gospel other than the one we teach, let him forever be accursed. And so how somebody in in a logical thinking could ever think that somebody could claim that I got my revelation by looking into binoculars on to Egyptian hieroglyphics that no one has ever seen before or since, so that no verification of this at all. It’s just totally the testimony of a man saying this is what happened to me. I looked into these binoculars and I read these Egyptian hieroglyphics and then translated it, surprisingly enough, into King James English. Now that’s little that’s a little hard to do with Egyptian hieroglyphics that were supposed to be 1000s of years old and then translated into King James. That alone would be enough for me. But how any thinking person can can grab a hold of this knowing that that is the root of their religion is beyond me. I have to say that it’s satanic, and it has to be satanic because there’s no logic to intelligent people, doctors, lawyers, intelligent people. Grabbing a hold of that, knowing how that supposedly got founded is beyond my comprehension.” – Bob George

“Well, you’ve been a Catholic and you’ve confessed your sins. Do you keep sinning? Of course you do well and then sort so obviously what you’re doing in working. So, so what we have to realize is it in the case of working or taking advantage of something, it’s the fact, what did Jesus do? Not what you and I do, but what did Jesus do? Did he take away the sins of the world when he Yes, absolutely so if he said, it’s finished, and God was in Christ, reconciling the whole world unto Himself, not counting their sins against them, that means forgiveness has been provided for the whole world. But that’s not salvation. Salvation is coming alive from the consequence of sin, which is death, by the gift of God, which is life. You see so and that’s where the resurrection comes in. Chris is the fact that you and I had to be raised from the dead spiritually, we were born dead and in need of life. You don’t get life by getting forgiveness. You get life by receiving life. You don’t go into a graveyard and say to any you people need help, say to any you people need life. And the only life available to us, whether you’re Catholic or Protestant, is the life of Christ, the resurrected life of Christ, Jesus. That’s why Paul said, without the resurrection, we are to be pitied of all people and are still in our sins. So the resurrection is the focal point of the message of Jesus. So when we come by faith and say, Lord Jesus, you took away my sins at the Cross never to see them again. Now, people say, Well, I understand my past sins. What about my future sins? And I ask them, how many of your sins were in the future when he died for them 2000 years ago? They all were, weren’t they? So I thank you that you took away my sins. Never to see them, never to judge them again, because your sins were judged, but they were judged at the cross, and the verdict was guilty, the punishment was death, and Jesus took it for you, and that’s why there’s none left for you. So through faith, we say, Lord Jesus, thank you for that. Thank you for taking away my sins at the cross and then recognizing that Lord, you’ve also told me in Your word that the wages or the consequence of sin is death, and if I’m dead, I need life now. Being a Catholic can’t give you life. Being a Protestant can’t give you life. Only Jesus can give you life, and that’s where we say, Lord, if you’re standing at the door of my heart and knocking in order to come in to give me spiritual life, then I ask you to do that and to be my Lord and Savior. Now, when we’ve done that, we’ve done it by faith, we are born again. Okay?” – Bob George

Behold Jesus, the Lamb of God Who Took Away the Sins of the World and the World
