Amazing as usual! Dr Mohler is the smartest person among very few that I have met in my 34 years as a Protestant believer! It’s very sad that not many pastors can answer this question in this way.

I love the way he mentions the wide way and narrow way. Yes it's true, the narrow way is summed up in the word only,. The broad way leads to destruction, the narrow way to eternal life. One shepherd, one prophet, priest and king. The psalmist said, Against you only have I sinned, that is God. God's way is simple, but is contrary to the way man thinks. He says, Come, let us reason together, what does this mean? Does it mean he wishes to come to a half way point? Certainly not! As he was in the beginning, so will he be in the end, Alpha and Omega, everlasting to everlasting, eternal, wow! How dare the creature, or the clay question the creator. It is a wonderful topic and needs to be grasped by the believer. Thank you brother Mohler, God continue to bless your ministry.
God is not only love, but also righteous. Sins need judgement in righteousness, the verdict is death, eternal separation from life of God. For God so love the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall never die, but has everlasting life.
Elena Matso, Your point is often brought up. The Bible doesn’t say what their fate is for a very specific reason. But what the Bible DOES say is that God is Just and God is Good and God is fair. So whatever God declares as their fate is Just and Good and fair. One day we will know, when we ourselves stand before God, but since the Bible doesn’t tell us, trust God with it.
WE are all Prisoners of Consequences of Sins [Exodus 33:20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. This is why, Lord Jesus did not come to teach philosophically but therapeutically. [Romans 6:23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The human race caries at birth 2 type of deaths that came about as consequences from Adam’s and Eve’s sins! The first CONSEQUENCE INHERITED for each man and woman born is known as “SPIRITUAL DEATH” which in essence is the “eternal separation of man from God” and the second consequence is “the death of the body” The second consequence was also the introducing in our lives of hunger, pain, illness and finally the death of the body! The death of the body is considered by the Holy Fathers of the Greek Orthodox Church a gift from God for with out it man would not have a way to return to God's domain. Not ever being able to return the presence of God was the consequences of “spiritual death” and the reasons why were described [Exodus 33:20] we read “And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live”. The bodies Adam and Eve were created from light just like the bodies of angels were. In order to be able to live apart from God they were given leather tunics (our material bodies) that do not represent the angelic type body created with that enabled them to the presence of Creator God! [Genesis 3:21]: 'Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.'. This is why the coming of Lord Jesus and the creation of His Church at Pentecost with 85 Holy Apostolic canons www.voskrese.info/spl/aposcanon.html was centered around Lord Jesus becoming High Priest and Mediator to His Father in order to remake/recreate the body of men and women and purify the ill begotten heart/soul both. [Mathew 15: 19] For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: The Holy Sacrament of Baptism The Sacrament of the Holy Baptism is the Holy Sacrament (Mystery) through which man becomes a living member of the Body of Christ. Through Baptism Jesus Christ God/Logos Himself reshapes and makes man partaker of a divine nature (part man part god). It signifies the beginning of a potential dynamic process in one’s path toward the Kingdom of God. Baptism introduces people to the place of their Salvation that is the Ecclesia (Church) and grands them the right to participate to all the other Holy Sacraments. The Holy Baptism is also known as the Holy Sacrament of Rebirth. It is becoming “a god by the Grace of God”! The purpose of Holy Baptism is to remove the consequences of the original sin and ALL other sins is to allow a person to become a vessel of the Holy Spirit (Saint) to become a member of His Holy Body. This is why during Baptism the priest calls upon the sponsor to renounce the devil and all of his works. During Baptism a person receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit however it is up to each and every individual to energize them or set them in motion at will based on their greatest gift from God which is their freedom. During Baptism a person receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit however it is up to each and every individual to energize them or set them in motion at will based on their greatest gift from God which is their freedom. The presence of Divine Light (Holy Spirit) in mans heart (person) begotten at Baptism makes man a new creation [Colossians 3 10] it makes man “a god man but by the Grace of God”. This is how Paul describes His personal experience, as being a new creation. (Gal 2:20) “So that it is no longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me” Paul admits that God (Christ) lives in him, making him this way ~ part man part god ~a god-man by His Grace, a way of being never seen on heaven or earth before. [Galatians 6:15] “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature”. So the heavenly Kingdom is NOT a “place” it is “a way of being” a UNION of man with God Creator Himself begotten and experienced from this here life. (Luke 17:21) No one will say, “Look here it is”! Or, “There it is!” because the Kingdom of God is within you”. This is how the Apostles and the Saints did/do their miracles…it is not man that does them it is the God (Holy Spirit) within! The Holy Sacrament of Confession After Baptism CONFESSION is all about keeping the sin free condition begotten at Baptism Confession [John 20:23] "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained".

God's torah never says to believe in the messiah, because when the messianic age comes it will be evident to all. Not a thing of belief. To believe NT is to not listen to God's will revealed in His Torah
@@nathans8178 misinterpretation of the Jewish tradition that "the suffering of the righteous is a form of atonement." Jewish sources are clear that this concept pertains only to the alleviation of Divine punishment that was decreed upon the Jewish people as a whole. It does not pertain to the removal of an individual's sin. Every person has the responsibility to repent directly to G-d for his own transgressions. (Ezekiel 18:20) False equivalence of ‘sinless’ and ‘righteous’. Many are called righteous even if they have sinned; there is no equivalence. Ecclesiastes 7:20 says that there is no one who is righteous who does not sin. From Ezekiel 18:21-23 we see that if one sinned and repented, they are considered righteous again. So to be righteous does not mean one has never sinned; only that one has repented of it. Eze 14:14 Dan is righteous during time without a temple or sacrifice. Proves you don't need NT Jesus. Even when Israel is impure, the Divine Presence dwells among them. Lev 16:16 He shall do likewise to the Tent of Meeting, which dwells with them amidst their defilements. Rashi Although they are unclean, the Divine Presence is among them. - [Torath Kohanim 16:43; Yoma 56b] Keeping the mitzvos is preferred above sacrifices. Sacrifice is a secondary backup. Not the original will. God does not need sacrifice to forgive sins. God is not like an angry volcano idol that needs to be appeased by human sacrifice, or bribed like a mafia don That is not at all what the korban are about. God is self sufficient. God does not desire human sacrifice, and such sacrifice is not permitted anywhere in the Torah, for any purpose whatsoever. Jesus as a human sacrifice was never from God. Followers of NT Jesus are over focused on blood, but the prophets say, blood is not God's choicest way, obedience is. Sacrifice without repentance is not accepted, but repentance without sacrifice can be accepted. There is no sacrifice for most willful sins, but God says a sacrifice of repentant words of prayer can be accepted by Him to even rectify willful sin. Hosea 14:3 Take words with yourselves and return to the Lord. Say, You shall forgive all iniquity. the word iniquity is a translation of the hebrew avon which is an intentional sin. followers a jESAUs have a false hope idol, who cannot save them from their own sins. greek testament contradicts torah.
In the Torah, God required "clean" animal sacrifices of pure, spotless - animals, doves, heifers, lambs, goats, whose blood was shed for atonement of sins. These sacrifices were required daily, from all guilty people as often as as sin was uncovered. These animals were used in burnt offerings, peace offerings, sins offerings etc. How do you atone for your sins if you are a true follower of the Torah as given by Moses? God expressly required that these sacrifices were to be kept throughout all your (Hebrew) generations; Lev.3:17; 7:36; 17:7. Leviticus 4 details the sin offering. Unless blood was shed, no pardon would be gained from God. So, what do you do about your own sins according to the Torah (not the rabbis)? According to the Torah, you stand guilty before God. how can God be pleased with you as long as you offer no sin offering for your sins? Deuteronomy 31:16 - "And Hashem said to Moses, Behold you shall sleep with your fathers, and this peopleshall rise up and go lusting after the gods of the strangers of the land into which they are going, and shall forsake Me, and shall break My covenant which I made with it.....For I know their imaginations which they are making TODAY, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn." Deut.31:16, 21. "Behold the days come, says Hashem,, that I will cut a NEW covenant with the House of Israel, AND with the House of Judah, NOT according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them out of the land of Egypt - which covenant OF MINE they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Hashem, BUT THIS SHALL BE THE COVENANT THAT I WILL CUT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL:..." Jeremiah 31:31-33. When God says NEW, it means that the 'first' one which they broke is to be removed. What is that NEW covenant which God promised? It is the one He established through the Son of His eternal love, the Messiah of Genesis 3:15 who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:10 (from the House of Judah) who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:18, and was the Messiah and King of Psalm 2:6-12, who was spoken of by the prophet as the suffering one, also in Isaiah 53. He is the coming Shepherd of Israel in Psalm 23. The Son of man spoken of by Daniel The Messenger coming to His temple in Malachi.

There is no evidence at all of a Heaven none zip zilch nor hell nor angles nor God nor Jesus all con jobs
@No Left Turns Heaven and hell are real. The Scripture says it clearly. Especially Jesus spoke very often about hell. If you don't believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are going to spend an eternity in hell. Simple as that.
No Left Turns Can you support your assertions with hard, irrefutable evidence? At one time there was no evidence of the existence of the Americas to those in Europe. Does that mean they didn't exist?
The evidence of God's existence is all around us. Let's assume for a moment it is not the God of the Bible. Let's assume for a moment it is just a god of some type or fashion. Because there is a universe, because there is an earth, because there is an objective moral standard is evidence enough that there is a god. To me two points that destroy the big bang/ evolutionists point of view are: 1) If you say everything came from nothing you are actually making or giving nothing form or function. Your words make the nothing into something. 2) As I recall there is a scientific law that says matter cannot be created nor destroyed. This is not to say anything of the fact that we assume all things have continued in times past as they are today. For example we assume that things decay at a rate of X, and they have always decayed at this same rate. There is absolutely no way validate that. We were not there at the time of creation of that element to see if it's rate of decay is the same today as it was when it was created. How do we not know that when it was created it came into existence by the Words of God and when it was created it was created at a certain stage of decay set forth in God's perfect timing.

Deut.31:16, 21.
"Behold the days come, says Hashem,, that I will cut a NEW covenant with the House of Israel, AND with the House of Judah, NOT according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them out of the land of Egypt - which covenant OF MINE they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Hashem, BUT THIS SHALL BE THE COVENANT THAT I WILL CUT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL:..." Jeremiah 31:31-33.
When God says NEW, it means that the 'first' one which they broke is to be removed.
What is that NEW covenant which God promised? It is the one He established through the Son of His eternal love, the Messiah of Genesis 3:15 who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:10 (from the House of Judah) who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:18, and was the Messiah and King of Psalm 2:6-12, who was spoken of by the prophet as the suffering one, also in Isaiah 53. He is the coming Shepherd of Israel in Psalm 23. The Son of man spoken of by Daniel The Messenger coming to His temple in Malachi. The Ruler in Israel even from eternity spoken of by Micah, who would come out of Bethlehem Ephratah...who shall be peace. Micah 5

@No Left Turns Heaven and hell are real. The Scripture says it clearly. Especially Jesus spoke very often about hell. If you don't believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are going to spend an eternity in hell. Simple as that.
No Left Turns Can you support your assertions with hard, irrefutable evidence?
At one time there was no evidence of the existence of the Americas to those in Europe. Does that mean they didn't exist?
By the way, you are evidence that YHWH, the only true and living God, is.
No Left Turns agreed.
The evidence of God's existence is all around us. Let's assume for a moment it is not the God of the Bible. Let's assume for a moment it is just a god of some type or fashion. Because there is a universe, because there is an earth, because there is an objective moral standard is evidence enough that there is a god.
To me two points that destroy the big bang/ evolutionists point of view are:
1) If you say everything came from nothing you are actually making or giving nothing form or function. Your words make the nothing into something.
2) As I recall there is a scientific law that says matter cannot be created nor destroyed.
This is not to say anything of the fact that we assume all things have continued in times past as they are today. For example we assume that things decay at a rate of X, and they have always decayed at this same rate. There is absolutely no way validate that. We were not there at the time of creation of that element to see if it's rate of decay is the same today as it was when it was created. How do we not know that when it was created it came into existence by the Words of God and when it was created it was created at a certain stage of decay set forth in God's perfect timing.
