Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P986 (11-14-24)
Jesus, God is the Faithful One to Have Taken Away All Your Sins at the Cross
~ Whether you agree with God or not, He is Faithful and Just to Have Forgiven You and to Have Cleansed You from ALL unrighteousness.
~ The 1 John 1:9 passage is written crystal clear. It is our understanding that is out of whack. It’s the interpretations that are ALL INTENTIONALLY off. And Satan has messed with the interpretations to be such that hardly anyone believes their sins HAVE been forgiven at the cross. The other thing that is crystal clear in this passage, is the Greek word that is translated as “confess,” does NOT mean to ask for forgiveness. In fact, it’s the exact opposite of that. The word means to agree with God concerning your sins. AGREE does not mean to ask for forgiveness. That is a key point that we ALL need to acknowledge (confess). For without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. And we know that Jesus is NEVER going to die on the cross again. So put the 1 John 1:9 passage to rest, and understand that a person agrees with God, that their sins HAVE been forgiven and they were cleansed of unrighteousness at the cross. And the reason this is the case, is so that God could come and live in a person and give them HIS LIFE, living in them, the TRUE temple of God. For the body of a believer is the Temple of God today. And that is also key.
So, whether a person agrees with God or not, the word “if” means that, and is NOT a conditional IF as we understand it in the English language. Jesus is still the Faithful One of God to Have forgiven and cleansed them whether a person accepts it or not. And when a person placed Faith in the Faithful One of God to HAVE done everything He said He did, then the Holy Spirit comes into them for LIFE. The issue is LIFE, not getting a person’s sins forgiven today. Do you want LIFE? Then accept His forgiveness for you and receive Him for your Life. No one will go to hell because of their sins. They will be eternally dead in their unbelief if they choose to remain that way, because they refused HIS LIFE. It’s their decision. God will not force life upon people. It’s a choice for everyone to make.
Consider having a Bible study yourself and teaching one or two others the Truth of the word of God. Those with ears, they will want to hear. We have many excellent Bible study books that are very easy to use that involve simply reading the word of God and answering the questions provided. The answers themselves are right there in the word of God.
Behold the Lamb of God Who Took Away the Sins of the World
Lord Jesus, teach me the TRUTH of the world we live in today and the Truth of You.
~ “You know that this, this Christian bar of soap, of First John one nine, I ask people sometimes, why do you quote that verse to me? And I’ll tell you why. It’s the only one they can quote. There is no more. And I say, then, if there’s one verse in the scripture that was written back [when John wrote the book of 1 John], how did these people keep their selves forgiven for from 33 years when Jesus died, to that point, if first John one nine wasn’t for years later. I mean, what happened? Why were they able to do that? You see, I went through that first John one nine mentality. Was taught that every time you sinned, you had to First John one nine. You confessed your sin and got forgiveness, and then inhaled, appropriate the power of the Holy Spirit, called spiritual breathing. You You exhale and confess your sins, get your sins forgiven, get the mark off of the books, and then you inhale. Appropriate the power of the Holy Spirit came down to the point I said, this is nonsense. And so I began studying First John eight and nine. In fact, the whole book of First John, I went to Greek scholars, even into Greece, in order to get proper interpretation. Because I knew one thing. First John was not for believers. It was a passage for salvation. First John one nine is a passage for salvation that was there basically to correct what was called Gnosticism, very well known Gnosticism, into something somebody made up. It was prevalent in the early Christian years, and they were kind of a forerunner of what we would know today as Christian Science. They did not believe in reality. In other words, Jesus Christ, they said was not real. He was an illusion. You never saw him, never talked to him. You just thought you did. When it came to sin, they didn’t believe they had a sin nature. The only thing that’s important is the spirit doesn’t make any difference what you got in the flesh. So if you don’t have a sin nature, it doesn’t make any difference. Now to correct those two heretical teachings, a pastor would have written to John, the last living apostle, and said, help. We got these these Gnostic morons in my assembly that are really messing this thing up. And so John wrote a letter to correct that. That’s why it starts out that which I’ve seen with my eyes, heard of my ears, touched with my hands. This we proclaimed concerning the Word of Life. We’ve seen him. Why did he say that? He didn’t need that for you and me, right? But he needed to correct the heretical teaching of the Gnostics. Now he goes on first John in the first chapter. Now he’s going to deal with their other heresy, that they don’t have a sin nature. So if we claim to be without sin, and that is a sin nature. We deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in you. Now, who’s the truth? Jesus, Jesus. So who isn’t in them? Jesus, Jesus, they’re lost. And so, so then he says, and the “if,” and the construct of that is confusing, but I’ll tell you, interpreters should have, should have done this a long time ago. The “if” is an if that says, I don’t know if you guys are ever going to come to your senses or not today. I have no idea. I don’t think you will. That’s really the inference there, but in the event that you do today to. Tomorrow or whenever it might be and you’re willing to confess your sins. Agree with God concerning your sins. Agree with God concerning you do have a sin nature. He is faithful and just to HAVE forgiven all of your sins and HAVE cleansed you of all unrighteousness. It’s an aorist tense, a past action with continual effects. What do we do with it? We don’t put that in that tense. We put it to present tense. If you confess, he’ll forgive, which means if you don’t, he won’t. And so it’s merely in interpretation and in translation that we have paralyzed the Christian world from resting in his forgiveness. This man who questioned this to you, is not resting in forgiveness. He’s still trying to keep it himself.” ~ Bob George

“We have, we have, we have bought that garbage the same way that we’re forced to teach it in schools of evolution. And the reason that they teach dinosaurs is to teach evolution. And the reason that you have to teach evolution is to teach the immense amount of time that the evolutionists say that you had to be in existence before we could be evolved into where we are today. No one in all of those 4000 years that we’re talking about has ever seen a man change. Always have been born with two ears and a nose and eyes. We haven’t changed one iota. We’ve never known anyone that was any different than what you were born if you were born if you were born a man, you were born a man. If you were born a woman, you were born a woman. Same thing in the animal kingdom. Never seen anything change. So you have to go back and pretend, which is what they do, that billions of years in order to justify the fact that we evolved rather than created, and the only reason that anyone would ever, I call them pin heads would ever be teaching evolution is because they do not believe in God, and they will not believe in God. And the Bible says that anyone who denies that there’s a God is a fool. So I just feel I’m talking to fools.” ~ Bob George
