Let it oh no no wait it was the float is. Now do we want to welcome you to another session of our question and answer program with our Bible teacher Dr j. Vernon McGee. This program is a ministry of the Thru the Bible radio network getting right to our questions we begin today's broadcast with this one from a listener in Ontario California who writes Will there be people who spin any turn to be in hell because Christians did not share the gospel with them when if the Christians had shared their faith the last would have been saved or put another way is the eternal destiny of one person dependent upon the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of another person how could that be just. And may I say 1st of all that I do not believe you today now are good you support it with scripture that there are any people anywhere today that are lost because of the selfishness of somebody here at home who has the gospel that certainly would be unfair and unjust Now when you asked the question about will souls have to spend eternity in hell because we Christians did not tell them about Christ when if we had they would have been say my eyesight that is not the way that I asked that question because that question cannot be end said it's sort of like the question that was asked of a man like Mr Milk toast do you stay I'll beat you why well you can't say yes or no to that without getting involved just say now the same thing is true here of this question you assume that if the Christians had taken the gospel to them they would have been say man I say to you that man are loss today not because of the fact that they have heard not heard the Gospel man are lost a day because that's their not sure state and they have no desire to change that follow we are to lose that if the gospel has not reached certain people and they die without hearing the Gospel they are lost not because they didn't hear the gospel they are lost because their center and they are going to a place where actually they would not want to go to heading that day it's Marilyn assumption to say they use poor people are just crying out. And wanting us to bring them the gospel and they want to be say that's not the picture that's not the experience that day and anywhere that the gospel will be received God will see to it that somebody takes the Gospel Diane course recently had called to my attention again the great revival that took place in the Hawaiian Islands where Maal to choose who are swept into the kingdom now you read that stone rate it's incredible it's unbelievable here was a y. In ball ice skate been from one of the rival was name oh boo Keanu who was picked up by a sea captain a very kind man he took him to the United States took him around a New England bus and he actually wanted to get an education they found him one morning we've been on the steps of Yale College at that time and some questions students found him and they helped him and they provided for him and they did the greatest service for him they led him to the law and he became a Christian he wanted to go back to the y. In Ireland as a missionary and all of a sudden knowing his preparation he took sick and died and it was quite a shock Sam you know males had been one of them that helped them but by by the name of being a moment and over a voluntary 16 out of those with him and they 17 set out for a while you knowledge Yes think of that but when they got there the movement was so low I mean by that there were only just a few believers interest on and off the royal family was reach the high priest this was the rate. That the lining I guess was our name and what it wonderful thing it was but it wasn't until about 18351837. That tide is coming when it went out and a revival broke out and the greatest percentage chance of days of panic Olive's anywhere where so happened to the king Well now how did it come about most unusual way well you say that just almost seemed humanly impossible it was humanly impossible but you say God No the heart of those night is at the end got the Gospel done so that if there are people who open their hearts God will say to him they get the gospel but man are not law because the Gospel didn't get they are lost because that's not you know condition that's a condition of all of us where they add in trespass as I'm saying. Dead man doesn't want the Gospel a dead man when he received only God know and God will see that it will get to those that will receive it no man in hell well ever be able to lift his voice and said if you have got the gospel to me I would have believed it there not be one like that we turn our attention now to another question some time ago you discuss the various translations and versions of the Bible but you failed to deal with the inspiration of the Scriptures could you please provide your insights on this issue . Now my eyesight relative to this matter of different versions of the bible back of that stands the Word of God and we believe that the inspired Word is the original text and that it is without era and mistake and that the words are inspired we believe in the plane or verbal inspiration now scholarship today both conservative and liberal have worked at this problem of ascertaining whether we have the lector old text or not and I believe that the conservative scholars for the most part have come to the conclusion and this is come about after a great deal of study that we did day have a dependable tax Wescott and Hort made this statement concerning the great Could a New Testament that only one word and 9 and 3 was ever in question and always on a minor point and that is not a doctrine of the scripture that is under any question at all relative to the original texts so that you and I have in the Authorised Version certain changes and that's the reason that we have suggested that you ought to have the American Standard Version I don't think it's as beautiful as the authorized by any means but I would say that it is a problem more accurate and that for we have a dependable tax you can rest upon and we can say Thus saith the law and all scripture is given by inspiration of God that is its God breathed and it's profitable and it's profitable for many different reasons and for many different purposes actual ain't we. Our teaching on our through the Bible program we go through the Bible in 5 years and why do we do that because we believe that it's all inspired and a great many follow found out that when we went through Molokai that it was just about the hottest say here that there is in a word of God I've had more letters on Malikai than any book that we started and as one man wrote he says why I didn't even know what the book was all of blackout I didn't realize that it was live and dealt with living is just today well that's true of all of it and we believe that they entire Word of God should be stated we don't believe and mild thing this and I believe the Bible from cover to cover and about the only part we're familiar with is the cover we need to know what's what 20 in the cover and that which is between the cover but tweener yours and when you transfer it from between the covers there between our ears then that is the thing that Paul says study is show yourself approved done to God not a word of God died for is not a book that is miraculous in the sense that you don't have to study it aerated a great many thanks if you carried around Andujar Mon Sunday that it does something to you and it was so much made during the war bought a boy that had a New Testament in his breast pocket and a bullet hit him than it then killing and hard to tell during the war several times by ministers and that smile with satisfaction that mild what the New Testament to do not be very frank Well here I don't think the large gave it to stop books I don't take that was of purpose of it at all so no what is in the New Testament if you want to really stop bullets get the Sears and Roebuck catalog the telephone book would be a good book to stop bullets but. That's not the purpose of the Bible by any means it wasn't given for that reason and it almost Superstation talk like that that it stopped a bullet the Porton thing is done know what the Word of God has to say and we today need to get off this side of trying to talk about the Bible and we need to teach it and to know it and that by the way is the purpose of through the Bible program now here's a question from a listener in college corner Ohio who writes Would you please explain your view of Mary and Mary worship. Well let me say that hot do not mind expressing my viewpoint on that after all they homage That's Mary is certainly not in the Word of God she was not a worship it was said of her bless and are valid among women not above women and she needed to savior as anyone else did you read her Magnificat she makes it very clear she needed decisive and when she stood beneath the cross of our son she stood as a center that needed a site year and he died for her all so but the important thing is and I have be very frank with you I do not think that we are to approve of this that is certainly extra biblical it's not in the Word of God We ought not to carry a club around and trying to club everyone that disagrees with us now I believe that if we teach the Word of God that we will bring people to the knowledge of the Word of God and then the Holy Spirit is that one that will have to lead people in this connection now I think that to bow down before the image of marriage is wrong and my judgment it is wrong but I don't think that I get anywhere by taking a club around and many of my Catholic friends just Club them on the head because they may want to club me own a head and not go on to be clipped on my head so I don't think that's the method now I have a letter from San Diego California that Ellis writes what I'm talking about because I'm not talking about a theory I'm Methodist to teach the Word of God and we believe today that it's far man in all religions and all conditions of life and the Word of God will have its way now this letter from San Diego will illustrate what I mean. It says in the midst of all our international and national turmoil and the conspicuous failed prevalent in the world today it's a pleasure a distinct pleasure indeed the lesson to your explanation of the sacred scriptures which comes to me and he mentions the station as I sit and listen and learn I am reminded of my very happy days in the seminary when I use to hear with pleasure lectures on sacred scripture you are doing a marvelous job Dr McGee keep it up now lesson to the next paragraph I have been a Catholic priest or almost 40 years during these years the Bible has been my chief interests now that I'm retired due to afflictions it is still my chief interest and cries my lie you want to argue with that and I and I don't and probably he is Christian just like I'm a Christian and he probably would like to say maybe change and I'd like to see him change but someday we both of going to be change and that will be the greatest day of all and before I leave that because I'm always misunderstood in this connection I want to say to you that I think that this system today. Liberal Protestantism and the system of Roman ism is an T'ai contra to the Word of God and I believe that they've all gone there far from the word of dud. But you're not going to get anywhere just to make an attack the pronoun and my feeling is that not what should be done and I don't think I've been called to do that I think I've been called to teach the Word of God and the Spirit of God then will have to speak to people's heart and he'll have to keep the door open he said he would the law or Jesus said I have set before you an open door no man can close it so I'm just going to keep teaching the Word of God friends and my ministers not a minister of attack upon any of these I'm sorry if you think that all to put all my boxing gloves and go to work our final question today comes to us from a listener who writes Do you think that the church today is in the final apostasy Well I want to say 1st of all I do not know whether we are in the final of pos to say I'm not I think we are I can't believe it's going to get much worse than it is now let's make some distinction share and form some definitions what do you mean when you say is that a plus as a day in the church I'm sure that what you are thinking of is the local church that's down on the corner Broadway or mines your town and the chances are that it is denominational church. And at one time the Gospel was preached in that church and many were say now over the years the major denominations have become liberal and that you have to my judgment if parted into an apostasy they departed from the truth and also in the meantime God is raised up all over this nation of ours today churches that are Bible churches and I wish some of the Bible churches had more Bible and then they do but they at least do not the not the inspiration of Scripture they still preach the Gospel that men are saved by faith in a Savior who was God manifest in the flesh and that he died as substitutionary death for ours sands and he was bodily right is from the grave for our justification and that he is our righteousness that day and we're saved the day by grace now these churches all stand for that these bible churches across the land and God is right used up them so that today the division is not the nomination old evasion the division today as between churches that are Bible Church is who believe the Word of God and teach it and those that are liberal now it's been my privilege sense of retired to go across this country and I think that I've had the privilege to be in every outstanding Bible Church across this land at least I've had an invitation to be there and was unable to accept it. But the level churches just don't invite me I don't know they may not like my personality are they aftershave that I use are not I don't know maybe I do have bad breath but they never invite me and irrespective of the nomination but also irrespective of the nomination I get into churches that are have dissed churches and Presbyterian churches and actually Methodist churches and community churches and neighborhoods churches and all of these churches though that I go to a Bible church here and I find out that the great division I feel at home today in these churches ante up and that I've been to I've felt very much at home they fact that that might be a minor difference and doctrine as not in the do it separation are brought down the fellowship that we had or the communication that we have now that yeah isn't pos to say the day and that apos the said a day is in the liberal church and I could give quotation after quotation they very frankly say they've given up the Bible that our church a side have Otay Sion for 2 out stand in ministers and Washington and both of them say that they no longer will argue with the fundamentalists about the virgin birth pass that they're not even interested in that they're not even interested in Jesus' day as you just say thank you for them he just more or less of an I feel it's just a cliche that they use today some of them don't even believe that he ever exists now those churches are in and the pastas Senate day now that is what Paul's vote when he wrote the tenant the and 1st time a day for one he said. As Now this Barrett speaker thinks breasts like that in the latter times some shall depart from the play giving heed to suggest things spirits and doctrines of demons speaking lies and apocrypha say having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to Maverick demanding to abstain from foods which God had created to be received with Thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth now the thing that marks these churches that have gone off into and apostasy and that depart from the white faith that word is after all his May and we get our word apostasy probably at one time believe the Bible and the interesting thing is that the creeds of all of the great their nominations are really wonderful free. But they were long sent you see departed from that they've departed from the faith now they have laid themselves wide open and as a result Barras commented these churches the day the tongues movement for instance and there is come in all kinds of things that appeal to the play and they suggest things spirits for instance all kinds of deception now it's these people today that are constantly going all in the some oh yes some today and actually this is where the human worship began today was in that segment they there's a little church population and the maybe the worst pocket of so that there is is for a man who believes nothing get into the pulpit and attempt does speak for God today when he doesn't even believe in God That's hypoxia or say of the worst kind and the only thing that I can thank that is bad is that is the man who sets in the pews and pretends to be a Christian.
