Joel 199: Michael Can Defeat Satan. How? What does that have to do with the errors of Calvinism?
We begin with usual question... is there any continuity to what the pastor is doing? And how many questions has the HTRP collated? He says, three hundred. If we don’t have the Immortality of Animals right then we’re wrong on everything. When you look at Psalms 36, and other verses, and discover that you’re wrong, sit down. Pastor has yet to hear a predestionationalist Calvinist who understands the truth of animals. Not all of them will outright teach annihilationism of animals but they believe it and just stay silent.
Job 1 and Job 2 is where we left off. You have this arena of Angels. One third are with Satan, and the Lord God is asking questions. Did Satan anticipate the question? We’re in Job 1:6 and Jude 9. Can Angels rebuke Satan? Can we? Does Satan believe he could interfere with the resurrection of Christ? Resurrection is outside of time. God, having authority over time, will resurrect outside of time... instantaneously. Michael is unwilling to confront Satan in Jude 9, so what happened between then and Revelation 12:7? He has no problem there. So, what does Satan do? He retreats back to killing Jews. What changed? Did God involve Himself? The answer is what you’ll want to listen for. Resurrection and Free Will are the only truths that are acceptable.
Of all the passages in the Bible, which is the most significant with regards to Satan? Genesis 3? Do Angels have the ability to repent? What do we repent of to be saved? Unbelief. And how does this disprove Calvinism? How does this tie into Job? 1 Corinthians 4:9 ties in too... and pastor adds in a lot more. But... there is more to this sermon.
Thanks for listening. We are so glad to continue serving you.
