Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P687 (11-11-21)
Absent From the Body and Present With the Lord
Join Bob as he talks with callers about a time for all things. Being absent from the body and present with the Lord when a believer’s body dies. We have this glorious hope before us!
Another caller asks Bob about Jesus turning water into wine. Understanding the timing issue too. Very interesting. Jesus does nothing other than what the Father tells Him to do. Jesus lived as the perfect Man, following all what the Father had told him to do.
John 5:19
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
Another caller asks about multiple wives in the Old Testament. Today we are told one man and one woman in marriage.
1 Corinthians 7:2
2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
A followup caller spoke of sex before marriage. Bob explains this as what it is, sin, fornication. Bob also explains about all sins have been taken away at the cross. Yet we struggle with our flesh and we also have the Spirit of God living in us for those that are in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we are now a child of God. It doesn’t make any sense to do this as a child of God.
1 Corinthians 15:56
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
People want to look for loopholes in what they can and can not do instead of focusing on what the Spirit’s training is for our lives.
Another caller called in regards to prosperity gospel teaching which is not what the scriptures teach. These people are deceivers and the only people getting rich are the people teaching this.
Hebrews 11:6
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
These people are of a perverted mind:
1 Timothy 6:3-5
3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
