Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 3 – 11-11-26

~ 2 Corinthians 5:21 — God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God..

In “Classic Christianity — Our Attitude Towards Legalism, Part 3,” Bob George explains Jesus’ rebukes of the religious leaders in Matthew 23. Jesus condemned their focus on outward rules—such as carefully tithing herbs—while neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness. George uses the image of straining out a gnat while swallowing a camel to illustrate how religious legalism can elevate minor observances over what matters most.

The talk then focuses on hypocrisy: appearing righteous outwardly while harboring greed, self-indulgence, and other failures within. George says Jesus’ strong words were not a lack of love; they were meant to expose the leaders’ condition and their blindness to their own faults. He contrasts their judgment of others with the mercy people often seek for themselves.

Bob emphasizes that everyone has sinned and that God looks at the heart, not merely outward conduct or religious reputation. He argues that acknowledging sin as sin is necessary to recognize the need for forgiveness at the cross and freedom in Christ.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel

Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 2 – 11-10-26

~ Matthew 23:23-24 — Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

In this teaching, Bob George focuses on Jesus’ confrontation with the religious leaders in Matthew 22–23. He begins with Jesus’ teaching that the whole law and the prophets hinge on loving God and loving one’s neighbor. George says Jesus used this exchange to expose the gap between the leaders’ knowledge of religious law and the love it was meant to express. Classic Christianity – “Our Attitude Towards Legalism Part 2”

Bob then highlights Jesus’ warning not to imitate the Pharisees’ behavior: they placed heavy demands on others but did not help carry those burdens themselves. He connects this to religious performance and status-seeking, emphasizing Jesus’ teaching that greatness comes through serving others, not through titles, public recognition, or self-exaltation.

A central message is that legalism can obstruct people from trusting Christ by suggesting that God’s acceptance must be earned through good deeds.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Burdensome Loads Tied Up on Man

Classic Christianity – Our Attitude Towards Legalism – Part 1 – 11-09-26

~ Matthew 23:1-4 — Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

In “Our Attitude Towards Legalism, Part 1,” Bob George teaches that turning one’s eyes toward Jesus means understanding His thoughts and attitudes. Bob says believers receive the mind of Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit, who reveals spiritual truth.

Bob contrasts life in Christ with legalism, arguing that the law cannot give life and that believers should not be placed back under its demands. He compares legalistic teachers of his time to the Judaizers who sought to bring Christians under the law.

Discussing Jesus’ response to religious experts, Bob highlights the two greatest commandments: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. He emphasizes that people respond to God’s love rather than earning His favor through faith or good deeds.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

Jesus Forgave You Completely of All Sins

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1086 (12-04-25)

Your Sins Have Been Forgiven at The Cross

~ “Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.” Roman 8:1

~ Religion, Catholicism and Protestantism, both teach the lie of “getting your sins forgiven” as though there is something you can do to make God forgive you. God took care of the sin issue on the cross, when He Himself took upon the sins of the whole world. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 Forgiveness was done by God Himself, and there is nothing you can do to “get your sins forgiven today.” There is only one proper response, and that is to say, “Thank you God for having forgiven me at the cross, and I thank you that you give me Eternal Life the very moment I believe that of You.”

We need to share this Truth with everyone today, because satan doesn’t want people to know they are forgiven. Satan wants people focusing on self and what they are doing in order to “get God to forgive them,” instead of focusing on Jesus and what He did at the cross for EVERYONE.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

End of the Law

Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P999 (01-17-25)

Those Who Are In Christ Jesus are No Longer Under Law

~ “For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.” Romans 10:4

~ There is nothing new under the sun. Bob answered so many questions that are still asked today. In fact, many of the lies are doubled down on by people teaching the lies of Satan. For the enemy doesn’t want you to know that you have been set Free. He would much rather keep you under the bondage of sin and death, while at the same time, he pushes the evils on all the world as though just about ALL sins are promoted left and right to all the people of the world. It’s gotten so bad, that there are even laws on the books that says it is unlawful to call something sin in the workplace. And we all know what that is about. Yet the false gospel churches are preaching messages of condemnation, and keeping yourself forgiven based on what you do or don’t do. Everything is reversed when you think about it. The government calls things acceptable and good that are sin and evil, and Satan’s ministers teach the Lie of not being free in Christ Jesus, and that a person must obey the Law in order to either be saved or remain saved.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message

We Have Peace With God in Jesus

Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P61 (01-31-24)

Jesus is Our Anchor For Our Soul For Those in Christ Jesus

~ God gives us grace in our time of need. And in just the right measure and just the right time he gives us more grace. God knows exactly what we need. Once a person is in Christ Jesus, then He is alive living in you, giving you rest for your soul. For all of us are going to experience a time when things are going to feel overwhelming, yet he will extend grace and give you the peace that passes all understanding. And in these last days, God is going to complete the work he began in us. For all of us are going to have last days sooner or later. And one day we are going to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. We will receive our new bodies, not like these bodies that we live in now, not the old creaking, sore bodies, but a new body that he has especially reserved for each one of us. Let us press on then to the calling that God has set before us. Let the Holy Spirit guide you, and lead you in all truth.… Click to Read More And Follow Along With The Message
