1
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.960
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.759
the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central. Good evening everyone.

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.719
It is Thursday, February sixth, twenty twenty five. It is

4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.440
currently six fifty pm Central Time, and I am coming

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.960
to you live from the Theology Central studio located right

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.839
here in Abilene, Texas. Now, if you have a pencil, well,

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.560
you can use pen Okay, you can use a mark

8
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.719
or you can use whatever. If you have something to

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.119
write with, you'll need some paper or at least you

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.719
know something to write on. And I want you to

11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.960
write down two words. I want you to write down

12
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.920
the word permanent. And secondly, I want you to write

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:58.600
down the word provisional. Permanent, provisional, permanent, provisional. And we're

14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.079
going to talk about, well, is this permanent, is it provisional?

15
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.000
What's the difference? What does this mean? Why are we

16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.280
going to talk about permanent and provisional? And we're going

17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.120
to talk about all of that, but before we can,

18
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.599
we have to talk about something that wasn't permanent. And

19
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:21.200
that's the title of my last broadcast, my last broadcast.

20
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.040
If you noticed when you looked at the sermon's two

21
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.239
point oh app or if you're looking on Spotify or

22
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.640
any of the podcasting apps, you would have noticed that

23
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.640
I called, and I gave the title for that last

24
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.799
episode Hebrews and seventy a D. Hebrews and seventy a D.

25
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.159
All right, maybe it should it be Hebrews and seventy eighty. Okay,

26
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.319
maybe I've got the whole thing grammatically incorrect. Okay, but

27
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:50.000
I put seventy a D. That's how I wrote it out,

28
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.680
seventy a D. And I didn't give it any thought.

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.480
I just moved on. And the reason I didn't give

30
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.000
it any thought is whenever I'm preaching or teaching on

31
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.719
seventy a D, I always say seventy a D, seventy

32
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.640
a D seventy That's how I always speak. Seventy a

33
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.560
D seventy eighty. I say it a million times, right,

34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.960
seventy a D, seventy a D, and I always speak

35
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.639
it that way. That's how I always speak it. Never

36
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.960
gave it any thought, never, never was an issue, just never.

37
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.879
So when I typed the title, then I put seventy

38
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.120
a D. However, you'll notice it no longer reads seventy AD.

39
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.680
That title was not permanent it was a provisional title.

40
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.919
It changed, all right. And what changed is now it

41
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.520
reads AD seventy A D seventy. Now why did I

42
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.879
change it? Well? I changed it because someone emailed me

43
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.680
at two forty four pm Central time and pointed out, hey,

44
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.479
that's not actually correct, and I was like, okay, that's man.

45
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.639
Oh now I feel dumb. Now I feel foolish. Now

46
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.120
I know I could just change it. Ninety nine percent

47
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.439
of you would never even notice. You probably didn't even

48
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.319
notice that it was changed. Most people probably wouldn't care

49
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.639
if it says AD seventy or seventy eighty. Some of

50
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.680
you would. But the point is, I do want to

51
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.560
be accurate. I do want to be correct because well,

52
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.840
I mean the other day I was I was challenging

53
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.960
and correcting a podcast because they kept saying, you know,

54
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.280
this happened in thirty three AD, and then they were

55
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.960
pulling facts from sixty six AD, and I was going

56
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.159
after their accuracy and not being factual. All right, So

57
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.840
I do want to be as accurate as possible. Now

58
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.439
I'm the first one to admit, like, I'm not willing to.

59
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.680
You know, by no means am I trying to. I

60
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.759
try to be as real as I can. I'm the

61
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:47.520
first one to acknowledge grammatically not always the best, right,

62
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.759
I'm not always the best. You can hear sometimes my

63
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.479
subject verb agreement, and you can hear sometimes I say

64
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.159
a lot of things incorrectly, And I know I'm very

65
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.199
bad when it comes to sometimes being grammatically correct. And

66
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.639
ever seen anything I've ever written, Punctuation is not a

67
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.159
strong It's not my strong point either, Okay, So I

68
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.599
tend to go with my strong suit would be like ideas,

69
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:17.279
big ideas, breaking ideas down necessarily, especially writing it. I'm

70
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.199
by no means am I strong at that. I think

71
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.240
when college professor said, you have great content. Great when

72
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.279
you write, it's amazing. Great, whether you're writing a story,

73
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.600
whether you're writing this, The content is great, just you've

74
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.120
got to learn to state it in a more grammatically

75
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.040
accurate way. And maybe you know, I don't know, you

76
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.560
want to throw in some kind of punctuation because it

77
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.079
looks like just one long run on sentence. So I

78
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.920
know that I have that weakness. I'm the first one

79
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.560
to admit that. But because if I'm going to challenge

80
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.480
accuracy somewhere else, I need to be challenged so someone

81
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.800
pointed out they emailed me and said, AD goes before

82
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.800
the number A D seventy, meaning the year of our

83
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.759
Lord seventy unless it is a century when it come

84
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.959
where it comes before second century AD. And then so

85
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.759
the person was was, you know, kind of like they were, Yeah,

86
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.720
I think they were being somewhat friendly about it. But

87
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.879
I was like, oh man, they they got me, they

88
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.319
got me here, and so I immediately changed it. Now

89
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.600
to be fair, I will throw this in there. Ady

90
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.360
seventy is structured according to the Latin convention. Right, it

91
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.759
really is, since AD and O domini right means in

92
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.920
the year of our Lord. In Latin, the adjectives and

93
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.439
descriptive phrases typically precede the noun they modify, which is

94
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.160
why AD seventy follows that order in the year of

95
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.959
our Lord, right, and the year of our Lord seventy.

96
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.560
That's if you were to write it out in the

97
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.560
year of our Lord seventy. However, modern English generally places

98
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.720
adjectives and descriptive phrases after the noun the year seventy

99
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.319
A D, which is why seventy AD feels more natural

100
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.920
to many English speakers. So that's the way I always

101
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.600
say it seventy a D, seventy a D, seventy a D,

102
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.879
seventy a D. Because I say that, then in my mind,

103
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.240
well that's how I'm going to write it. So AI,

104
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.600
this is how AI says it. While eighty seventy reflects

105
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:31.360
the Latin structure and is technically the traditional and academically

106
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.480
preferred form, seventy a D follows a more natural English

107
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.639
word order, which explains why it's commonly used in non

108
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:46.680
academic settings. Now it's a podcast title a non academic setting,

109
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.560
well it is. However, if your podcast is about theology,

110
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.800
about being accurate, well then I should have done it correctly.

111
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:03.040
So I definitely made that change. So it was not permanent.

112
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.680
It was provisional. I will say this, All of my

113
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.920
titles are provisional and can be changed, and they needed

114
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.240
because now I need to go back and look at

115
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.720
the whole thing. I think the whole thing is grammatically incorrect.

116
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.959
I think the whole thing is messed up. So I

117
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.839
will go back and make sure it's grammatically correct, and

118
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.319
I do apologize for that, and because I do want

119
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.199
to be accurate, and I'm grateful to someone took the

120
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.519
time to email me and point that out. But I

121
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.879
wanted to. I wanted it to be acknowledged, right because

122
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.120
I don't I do not like and I do get

123
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.959
bothered sometimes when when I've listened to a sermon and like,

124
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.720
you know, the whole thing is just a train wreck.

125
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.199
The whole thing is just like a mess. In many cases,

126
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.120
they won't come back and offer a correction. They'll just

127
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.759
delete it and it's no longer. I think. I like

128
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.000
to leave my in some ways, I would like to

129
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.480
have left my mistake. If I had enough room in

130
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.639
the title, I should have just left put two titles there,

131
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.480
the incorrect one and the correct one. That would be better,

132
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.000
because that's the way we all learn, right. If you

133
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.560
see my mistakes, then you won't make the same mistake.

134
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.639
I mean, there's lots of times with grammar or punctuation,

135
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.439
someone else will say something. I'll be like, oh, okay,

136
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.399
I got to remember not to do that, because I

137
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.199
do that all the time. I do that all the

138
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.759
time because I do. I do make some serious mistakes sometimes,

139
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.319
so that I wanted to just get that out there,

140
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.439
to offer the correction and put the correction on record.

141
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.279
But it also serves as a good example of permanent

142
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.759
versus provisional. Permanent versus provisional. Well, it may not be

143
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.080
a great example of provisional, but it's a great example

144
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.399
of not being permanent. Right. So here's what's going on.

145
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:47.720
Here's what we're going to do. This is going to

146
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.879
go relatively quick. This we're going to go back to.

147
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.039
I still have that sort of The Lord newspaper right

148
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.960
here in front of me from January third, twenty twenty five.

149
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.639
I am getting my money money's worth for that, or

150
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.639
I should say you're getting your money's worth from this paper.

151
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.360
I mean, you didn't pay for the paper, but you're

152
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.440
getting your money's worth because I'm tearing this issue apart,

153
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.799
and really it's amazing how many hours of broadcasting can

154
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.840
come from just a few things and an issue of

155
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.679
the sort of the Lord newspaper. But on page twenty

156
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:27.960
one they have an article entitled seventeen Things that come

157
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:34.519
with Christ. That article caught my attention because I took

158
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.600
a course at a Bible institute I attended. I think

159
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.799
it was like a semester long, and we had to

160
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:44.759
go through all the things that we obtain because of salvation,

161
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.120
and we had to find it and then you know,

162
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.320
explain what it was and cross reference scriptures and just

163
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.840
kind of it was almost like a semester long project.

164
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.679
I loved it. I thought it was fun. I thought

165
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.639
it was great. So I'm like, oh, this seventeen things

166
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.240
that come with Christ. Okay, I wonder if are going

167
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.120
to have the same things. I was just kind of

168
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.159
interested to see where there was going to go. Now,

169
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.240
they quoted Hebrew six ' nine, which immediately kind of

170
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.279
bothered me a little bit because they quote Hebrew six

171
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.679
' nine and immediately, in fact, in this entire article

172
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.879
where Hebrew six ' nine is the text, they never

173
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.200
reference eighty seventy or seventy a D. They never reference

174
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.320
it once. And that's why I did the last broadcast

175
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.320
about Hebrews and seventy a D. All right, so so

176
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.720
we've already covered seventy a D. We've covered everything about it.

177
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.120
But I'm going to read here a little bit of

178
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.480
the article and wait till you listen for the words

179
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.080
permanent and the words and the word provisional. Are the

180
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.000
word permanent and the word provisional? You're ready? Here we go.

181
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.120
Now once they quote they quote Hebrew six ' nine.

182
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.399
But beloved we are persuaded better things of you and

183
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:57.919
things that accompany salvation. Now again we and you, we

184
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.840
have identify the we and you. The you is not

185
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.960
you and me the Okay, it has a historical context.

186
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.399
Go back and listen to the last broadcast. Now, of course,

187
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.879
this article doesn't start with the original recipients. It starts

188
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:17.320
with good news exclamation point. When you received Christ. You

189
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.480
received not only eternal life, but also many other things

190
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:28.960
that came with Christ. Okay, Now, immediately I stop and go.

191
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.600
You quoted Hebrew sixt' nine. How in the world have

192
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.559
we been injected into this? How did we end up here?

193
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.600
Are we not going to talk about Hebrew six '

194
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.200
nine in its original context and how it relates to

195
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.840
eighty seventy or seventy AD? But okay, it's not going

196
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.639
to do that. I should have expected that. They go

197
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.919
on to say, at that time, the article continues, at

198
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:55.159
that time, you speaking of us may have been unaware

199
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.759
and unknowing. Even now you speaking of us maybe un

200
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.120
away where and unknowing of all the bundled things you

201
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.480
received with Christ inconceivable. Well, can I wait a minute,

202
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.320
I don't know how this all became about us? But

203
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.960
it all became about us. All right, great, we've covered that.

204
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.639
Next paragraph. You're ready, Here we go. Next paragraph. At salvation,

205
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.000
Christ welcomes you into the Family of God. They quote

206
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.200
John Chapter one, verse twelve. I don't quote, yes, put

207
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:34.720
it in parentheses. Are you ready? At salvation, Christ welcomes

208
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:39.320
you into the Family of God with at least seventeen

209
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:48.159
additional unearned and unexpected gifts. So when you become a Christian,

210
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:59.279
you receive, according to this seventeen additional unearned and unexpected gifts. Right,

211
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.720
these are Now it's going to list the seventeen. Are

212
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.000
you ready. You may want to write these down. It's

213
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:55.919
going to list seventeen faith, belief, repentance, atonement, amputation, reconciliation, ransom, regeneration, justification, grace, mercy, propitiation, adoption, redemption, sanctification, peace,

214
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:04.879
and eternal life. Besides these in my list, there are

215
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:12.120
may there may be more incomprehensible. All right, now, let's

216
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.360
go through this again. According to this article, when you

217
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:21.200
get saved, I'm gonna read directly their words. When at salvation,

218
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.720
Christ welcomes you into the family with at least seventeen

219
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:30.840
additional unearned and unexpected gifts. This seems to be trying

220
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.759
to claim these seventeen things is what you get when

221
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.080
you become saved. Now there's art. We could get into

222
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.159
a whole argument about order salutis in the order of salvation.

223
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.600
This gets into a major theological dispute. I'm not here

224
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.000
to engage in that dispute right now. I'm looking for

225
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.320
the words permanent and provisional. That's what that's that's all

226
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.440
I want to focus on right now. Because some of

227
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.840
you are like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait

228
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.240
a minute, wait some do some of these procede salvation?

229
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.320
Or do these from some of it? We could get

230
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.240
into that philological argument Christians are not agreed upon. I

231
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.759
know it's shocking. In two thousand years there's still no

232
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.000
agreement upon that. But just those are the seventeen things.

233
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.600
Let me name them one more time, and I really

234
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.600
challenge you to write these down right So at salvation,

235
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.399
Christ welcomes you into the family with at least seventeen

236
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.240
additional unearned and unexpected gifts. Are you ready? Here we go,

237
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:29.000
Number one faith belief. I'm going to count these out.

238
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.639
You can just write them down and write down the

239
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.519
number so number one are well, I'm just not going

240
00:15:32.600 --> 00:16:02.519
to give number faith, belief, repentance, atonement, amputation, reconciliation, ransom, regeneration, justification, grace, mercy, propitiation, adoption, redemption, sanctification, peace,

241
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.200
and eternal life. Besides these in my list, there may

242
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:14.559
be more incomprehensible. All right, next paragraph, the next paragraph here,

243
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.799
it's really actually it's just a sentence. It's not even

244
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.600
a paragraph. It's just a sentence. All right. So right

245
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.159
here where the crease of the paper is, when you

246
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.840
receive Jesus, you also receive these seventeen things. So you

247
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.399
get all seventeen of those things when you receive Jesus.

248
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.919
Now I can't. Oh, there's so much we can get

249
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.759
into a discussion here, but I'm trying not to go there.

250
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.279
I'm trying. I'm trying to pull back. Don't go full

251
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.840
blown into all the philological arguments here. Just go with this,

252
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.399
all right. So now, when you receive Jesus, you also

253
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.360
receive these seventeen things. So those seventeen things we receive

254
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.600
when we receive Jesus. Okay, great, Now here is the

255
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:01.519
line that I want to focus on. Ten of these

256
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:15.480
are permanent, Seven are provisional. Out of the seventeen, according

257
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:23.680
to this article, ten are permanent. Ten of them are permanent.

258
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.519
Things you received when you receive Jesus. You receive seventeen things.

259
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.119
Ten of those seventeen are permanent. I want you to

260
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:39.559
try to identify the ten permanent things. Seven are provisional,

261
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:51.680
seven are provisional. Now, permanent just means it's there. It's

262
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.759
not going to change the way. This article describes provisional

263
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.799
as provided when you need them. So ten things are

264
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:03.799
just they're they're permanent. Seven are provisional. They just show

265
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.079
up when you need them. They just show up when

266
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.200
you need them. Now, I could go right in right

267
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:12.559
now and just go all the way in, but I

268
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.960
did not want to do that. I wanted to make

269
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.839
this relatively short. I want to I almost did this

270
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.319
as a Bible pop quiz. We need to get back

271
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.119
to doing those we really do. But we'll just right now,

272
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.079
we'll just leave this here almost like you know, as

273
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.519
far as you know, a Bible study, I don't know.

274
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.279
I don't even know watch series even to put this in,

275
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.160
But maybe a Bible study exercise, I don't know. But

276
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.079
what I want you to consider is I want you

277
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.759
to consider all seventeen of those things. I want you

278
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.119
to look at those seventeen and if you were to

279
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.480
say which one which, if you were to try to

280
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.640
identify which ten are permanent in which seven are provisional.

281
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.759
I'm not saying this is even right. I'm not saying

282
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:55.440
that the sort of the Lord paper is even right

283
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.119
on this this division. But I had never seen anything

284
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.119
like this, right, I had never seen, oh, these seventeen things,

285
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.599
These ten things are permanent, these seven are provisional. It

286
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.160
caught me a little off guard. I wasn't quite prepared

287
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.079
for that. So it's caught my attention since I got

288
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.359
the paper, and I've just been thinking about and thinking

289
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.440
about it. So I just want to kind of present

290
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.920
it to you. So let me go through the seventeen

291
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:46.519
things again. Are you ready? Here we go, right? Faith, belief, repentance, atonement, imputation, reconciliation, ransom, regeneration, justification, grace, mercy, propitiation, adoption, redemption, sanctification, peace,

292
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.240
and eternal life. Now, out of those, I want you

293
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.079
to identify the ones you think are permanent and the

294
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.960
ones you think are somewhat provisional. I guess you get

295
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.039
them as you need them. Now, if we to look

296
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:05.400
up the definition of the word provisional, because to be

297
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:09.960
let's be as accurate as we can here, I should

298
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.599
have started with that. But provisional, if I can read,

299
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:24.400
if I can spell correction correctly, provisional means arranged or

300
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:29.920
existing for the present, possibly to be changed later. All right,

301
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.000
So arranged or existing for the present, possibly to be

302
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.720
changed later. They kind of go with the idea here

303
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.559
providing or serving for the time being, only existing only

304
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:46.480
until permanently or properly replaced. It's temporary. So that's kind

305
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:48.200
of the way I see it as temporary. But I

306
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.480
think they're going more as it's not just what a

307
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.039
permanent thing, it's something that it continues or it shows

308
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:01.200
up whenever you need it, I guess is the way

309
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.640
they're doing some this division of permanent andion. First of all,

310
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:06.440
their use of Hebrews six ' nine here to get

311
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.200
here is already I think problematic from a hermeneutical standpoint,

312
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:16.400
but we'll cover that later. Permanent and provisional seventeen things.

313
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.240
I want you to go through that list, and I

314
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.799
want you to determine this is permanent or is it

315
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:27.720
permanent or is it provisional? Could something be both? There's

316
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.559
a permanent part of it, but there's a provisional part

317
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:35.000
of it, And would we call it provisional? Would we

318
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.039
come up with a better term. I'm just handing it

319
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.160
to you to work on, all right, So the seventeen

320
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:54.799
things one more time. Faith, belief, repentance, atonement, imputation, reconciliation, ransom, regeneration, justification, grace, mercy, propitiation, adoption, redemption, sanctification,

321
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:57.119
piece in eternal life. I want you to look at

322
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.720
those seventeen and I want you to determine are some

323
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.680
of these permanent or some of these provisional? Which ones

324
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.960
would you make permanent? Which ones would you make provisional?

325
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.640
They break it down ten permanent, seven provisional. You you can,

326
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.559
you can, you can do whatever. You can try to

327
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.759
guess which ones they make permanent, which ones they make provisional.

328
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.480
You can determine, then create your own list of which

329
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:21.880
ones you think are permanent or provisional. Do you think

330
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.000
some are both? Do you think calling any of them

331
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.480
provisional or any of them permanent? Do you think that's

332
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.000
an accurate description? You can just go to town just

333
00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:39.079
go to work on it, right, That's all I want

334
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:40.759
you to do, right now, right now. I could, I could,

335
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.000
I could hand you a number of assignments, but I

336
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.200
won't hand you an assignment. Well, well, well, I guess

337
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.079
we'll make this like a Bible study exercise. Right, but

338
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.400
we're gonna we're gonna work on this. Okay, We're gonna

339
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:56.799
do a lot of work on this. All right. I

340
00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:59.400
guess I'm just gonna stop right there. I'm gonna stop

341
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.799
right there. All right, There you have it. There's your work.

342
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.440
You've got seventeen things that supposedly we receive when we

343
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.039
receive Christ. Now already there. We could get into an

344
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.880
argument about order salutis and the order of Salvation and

345
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.559
where does this start all of that. We can get

346
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.599
into all of that. But I just want you to

347
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.039
write down the seventeen and not worry about the order

348
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.799
salutis and where it falls into play. I just want

349
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.880
you to determine, hm. Is that a permanent or is

350
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.160
that provisional? Or is that both? And if it's both,

351
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.480
how is it both? If it's permanent, what do you

352
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:33.640
mean by it being permanent? If it's provisional, what do

353
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.599
you mean by it being provisional. Now, of course, here,

354
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:41.200
the way they describe provisional is they just put these

355
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.240
seven that are provisional, and it just has in parentheses

356
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:50.680
provided when needed, right, and it just says these seven

357
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:54.799
are always available when needed. It is because times will

358
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:57.160
come in your life when you need more. And then

359
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.920
it starts naming the seven. I'm not going to tell

360
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:06.039
you what those are now, if you have access to

361
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:11.440
the sort of the Lord newspaper, don't look, okay, don't look.

362
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.519
All right, Thanks for listening. We'll stop right there, all right,

363
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.720
Go go study, Go make your chart, get your a

364
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.359
whiteboard out, go go have fun. Go do that, and

365
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.160
we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it some tomorrow,

366
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.599
all right. Well, we'll probably be talking about it for

367
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.480
a couple of days that possibly, we'll see. All right,

368
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.839
Thanks for listening, everyone, have a great day, great evening.

369
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:46.319
Permanent provisional. Now I'm gonna go check my title for

370
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:50.279
the last episode and see how many grammatical mistakes I

371
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.759
made and it may be changed again. It may it's

372
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.759
definitely not permanent. All right, Thanks for listening. God bless
