Conditional Security Part 3

In this week’s show, we continued our discussion of Conditional Security.  First, though, we started out the show talking about our last week of ministry and preaching.  Jesse has been spending time preaching in Florida while John and I preached at ECU.  I took the latter part of the week off to go visit family.  After we talked about our week of ministry, I mentioned that I had seen the movie Fireproof with Kirk Cameron.  The movie was produced and put together by the same people who produced Flywheel and Facing the Giants, Sherwood Baptist Church.  Very low budget films, but very well done.  Kirk actually took his part in the film without any pay.  It was a VERY WELL done film.  I recommend it to everyone.

After giving a plug for the movie, we moved to the Question/Objection of the week.  The objection that we discussed is something we hear quite often in the open air: “You Can’t Judge Me!”.  The two scriptures that college students know the best are Matthew 7:1 and John 3:16.  They usually don’t know the verses that come after both of those.  Can Christians Judge?  Is it a sin to judge?  Is God for certain kinds of judging and against certain kinds of judging?  We discuss the passage of Matthew 7, John 8, 1 Corinthians 2:15, 1 Corinthians 6:2, etc.  We also discuss WHY we think most Christians don’t think it is ok to judge: because they have sin in their own lives.  Find out what the Bible says about this issue as we discuss it very thoroughly.

We then moved on to discuss the main issue of the show: Conditional Security.  This week, we focused on people from the Bible who actually DID fall away from the faith.  One of the main people we talked about was Judas Iscariot.  The whole chapter of Matthew 10 shows emphatically that Judas was a follower of Christ, a sheep, a disciple and one who Jesus gave the power to heal, cast out demons and raise the dead.

In the midst of talking about Judas, we brought up the issue of whether Judas was individually predestined to go to Hell and betray Jesus or if he had free will.  Jesse did a great job talking about the different kind of prophecies there are from the Old Testament.  There are four different kinds and understanding these four different kinds of prophecies is crucial to understanding predestination and election in the Bible.  Besides talking about Jesus, we talked about many other examples in the Bible where TRUE BELIEVERS Departed From The Faith!  Take a listen to the show.  It is likely to challenge you and maybe even teach you something new.
