A discussion with AI about Lordship Salvation

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:06.000
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.880
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central.

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:13.359
Good morning everyone.

4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.120
It is Sunday, January nineteenth, twenty twenty five. It is

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.199
currently eleven eighteen am Central Time, and I am coming

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.199
to you live from the Theology Central studio located right

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.719
here in Abilene, Texas. Well. In the last hour, we

8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.119
had a pretty lengthy discussion about artificial intelligence and Isaiah

9
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.640
chapter forty, verse eleven. And I know for this hour,

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.759
if I was at church, we would be covering Isaiah

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.479
chapter forty, verses nine through eleven. That's what I would

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.960
typically be doing. That's what I would want to do.

13
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.799
But all of our verse by verse study of Isaiah

14
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.359
forty from verse one all the way to verse nine

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.399
has been done at the church in front of a

16
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.560
live audience, so I didn't want it then all of

17
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.799
a sudden go from Isaiah forty nine to eleven, switch

18
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.599
it to more of a podcasting format that, oh, I

19
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.239
like to kind of keep it consistent. If I start

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.560
something in front of people, I want to kind of

21
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.760
finish it there, and then if I start if I'm

22
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.159
doing something on the podcast, I want to keep it here.

23
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.239
So I was like, well, what what what can we do? Well,

24
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.159
we've been having a very important conversation on the podcast

25
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.719
that many many of the people listening this morning may

26
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.680
not be familiar with her. I'm not even engaged in

27
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:30.480
in any way, shape or form. So I'm going to

28
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.079
do a little bit of a review, and then I'm

29
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.480
going to try to move us forward, and hopefully this

30
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.760
is going to have a very important A lot of

31
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.280
very important philological ideas and concepts are about to be discussed,

32
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.239
and hopefully everyone will catch up and be on the

33
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.400
same page because this is very important all through twenty

34
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.959
twenty five. Kind of the really starting in twenty twenty four,

35
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.480
we started talking about it a lot, but as we've

36
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.480
entered into twenty twenty five, I've decided, in fact, it

37
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.719
created an entire series about artificial intelligence in the future

38
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.879
of the church, because you've got to be you either

39
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.439
just don't understand artificial intelligence, or you're just not paying

40
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.120
any attention, or you're I don't know what is wrong

41
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.360
if you don't understand artificial intelligence. And I'll just say

42
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.639
this bluntly has made the church one thousand percent irrelevant.

43
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.680
You don't need it. It's just a waste of time.

44
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.000
AI can do anything the church can do a million

45
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.199
times better when it comes to the preaching and teaching

46
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.360
of God's Word. Now, if your church is sacramental, well

47
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.039
you need the church for the sacraments. But if you

48
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.719
go to church for the teaching of God's Word an

49
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.840
in depth study of scripture, AI can blow away any sermon.

50
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.039
And we've demonstrated that already multiple times in twenty twenty

51
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.759
five by placing AI versus specific sermons, and AI destroyed

52
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.639
those sermons in every way possible and avoided all the

53
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.039
errors and pointed out all the errors and the sermons.

54
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.919
So we've been talking about that. So I came up

55
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.599
with the idea, what if we instead of putting AI

56
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:06.439
against a sermon, what if we put artificial intelligence against.

57
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.759
A philological system.

58
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.560
Oh, that could be interesting, right, What if we had

59
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.840
them go head to head artificial intelligence of versus how

60
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.840
about artificial intelligence versus lordship salvation? Oh, that that could

61
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.120
be what could happen? Well, we spent over an hour

62
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.280
and part one of this taking it apart, so I'm

63
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.159
gonna have to review quickly. And what's interesting is asked

64
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.439
AI to help me in the review, I said, AI, get,

65
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.400
how can I break everything down? I basically said, here's

66
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.039
episode one. I gave it episode one, and I said, okay,

67
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.360
here's the best way to remind everyone of what you

68
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.639
discussed in part one so that you can move on

69
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.800
in part two. And I'm like, thank you artificial intelligence

70
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.280
because my reviews go way, way, way too long.

71
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.439
And artificial intelligence.

72
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.159
So it's like, because you're a human and you don't

73
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.080
know what to do. Okay, I'm okay, I didn't actually

74
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.759
say that, but you get the idea. So let's remind

75
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.400
everyone of what we did. So this is artificial intelligence

76
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.159
versus lordship salvation. Now lordship salvation, whether people say they

77
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.639
know what it is, even if they have ever heard

78
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.319
of it, lordship salvation dominates the way most Christians believe

79
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.879
about salvation. They may never have read MacArthur's book, doesn't matter.

80
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.879
Church after church after church. They hold to a lordship

81
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.000
salvation view, which I held to for most of my life.

82
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.680
And what was the turning point for me. It's when

83
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:36.680
I begin to study Catholicism and I realized lordship salvation

84
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.519
is basically Catholicism, and then I begin to have a

85
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.959
crisis of faith. Right, So we've talked about this and

86
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.560
talked about this. So here's what we discussed in part one. Right,

87
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.720
I basically asked everyone this question, what comes to mind

88
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.279
when you hear the term lordship salvation. Now, some people

89
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.240
support it, some people reject it, some people are neutral,

90
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.360
some people have have no clue what they're talking about. No,

91
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.920
What I find interesting is you ask some people about

92
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.079
lordship salvation, they'll say, well, they may even say they

93
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.000
disagree with it, they may even say they don't know

94
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.879
what it is. Just start asking them questions about salvation.

95
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.079
Inevitably it sounds like lordship's salvation. Because I think this

96
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.680
is the reality. We talked about this in a long

97
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.519
gospel series. Our default position is a works based, law

98
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.040
based system. How that's our default way to go? It

99
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.759
just is. So I asked that question. Then I gave

100
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.160
everyone kind of an overview of my own personal journey

101
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.040
with lordship salvation. How I stumbled upon MacArthur's book The

102
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.319
Gospel according to Jesus, how I did everything I could

103
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.279
to try to defend and promote that system, and how

104
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.959
I ultimately came to our crisis of faith by studying

105
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.759
Catholicism and realizing how foolish I had been. So what

106
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.839
I'm attempting to do here is I'm trying to give

107
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.120
a critical exploration of lordship Salvation, utilizing my own experience

108
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.759
with Lordship Salvation. But mainly I want to show you

109
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:13.360
how artificial intelligence analyzes and critiques lordship Salvation and some

110
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.000
of the conclusion it comes to, right, because I think

111
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.079
that's fascinating. All right, So I talked about my so

112
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.360
so here are some of the my philological shift I

113
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.079
begin to change my view from Lordship Salvation.

114
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.720
And I kind of went through that entire history.

115
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.120
I'm not going to go through all of that because

116
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.759
many listening this morning, you've heard my entire story million times,

117
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.160
so I'm not going to go through it all. So,

118
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.720
but here is where I think things begin to get

119
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.079
very very important here and to have this discussion.

120
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.959
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to

121
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:50.600
leave my notes here.

122
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.160
I'm going to go back to AI here.

123
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.360
I'm going to go back to AI.

124
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.480
I'm going to go all the way back to the

125
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.959
top here because this is where we started having to me,

126
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.839
where things got very interesting.

127
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:04.279
All right.

128
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.720
So this is the way I approached it because I

129
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.120
want to get everyone on the same pature.

130
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.319
This is so important theologically.

131
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:17.040
Instead of saying, Ai, what do you think about lordship salvation?

132
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.319
Because of my thilological understanding, I knew that the issue

133
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.839
between lordship salvation and non lordship salvation is not really

134
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.560
an issue between lordship salvation and non lordship salvation. Right.

135
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.040
The issue isn't about.

136
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.360
Oh, there will be a change.

137
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.079
No, the issue is what do you believe about being

138
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:44.199
saved by imputed righteousness versus being saved by an infused righteousness?

139
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.519
So I asked Ai this question.

140
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.519
Isn't it accurate to say that the major difference between

141
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.639
Catholicism and non Catholic Christianity is Catholicism teaches a salvation

142
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.040
based on infused righteousness and non Catholics, for the most part,

143
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.000
teach salvation based on an imputed righteousness. Ay, I said,

144
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.319
that is a key theological distinction between Catholicism and many

145
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.439
forms of non Catholic Christianity. All right, here's the breakdown

146
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.600
of the concepts. Now, I'm going to go back and

147
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.199
do a lot of review on this because this is

148
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.319
the foundation. See, the minute you start talking about lordship salvation,

149
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.720
people start off oh, you easy believism, anti noomia. They

150
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.759
start accusing you of everything other than what the real

151
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.160
issue is, because if they get to the discussion of

152
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.879
the real issue, the entire system falls apart because either

153
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.559
you accept the Catholic view or you reject the Catholic view.

154
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.759
And if you reject the Catholic view, your lordship salvation

155
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.279
crumbles in front of you if you are leaving remotely honest.

156
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.639
So what is the issue?

157
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.679
The issue is infused righteousness versus imputed righteousness. So what

158
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.320
are the concepts of infused righteousness? This is the Catholic view,

159
00:08:53.360 --> 00:09:00.679
you're ready. Catholic theology teaches that righteousness is infused into

160
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.960
the believer. Now, this is what would make Catholic Catholicism

161
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.360
a little different through the sacraments, because they're sacramental Baptism

162
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.759
obviously in a particular way, and it is sustained and

163
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.519
increased through cooperation with God's grace, good works, and participates.

164
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:23.519
Participation in the sacramental life. Salvation involves both God's grace

165
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.799
and the believer's cooperation with that grace.

166
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.600
It's a synergistic system. Right, Hey, God does this.

167
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.679
But you have to do this and then it works

168
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.960
together for salvation. This view, now listen, this is the

169
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:41.200
key phrase. It's the key paragraph. The infused righteous view

170
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:53.879
emphasizes an internal transformation where the person truly becomes righteous

171
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:59.679
in a practical way over time. So in an infused righteousness,

172
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.039
you are in fused with righteousness, so you become righteous

173
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.360
in a practical way. It is about transformation. Please put

174
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.039
that down. If you believe in infuse righteous you believe

175
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.240
in transformation. You will be changed, You will be different. Why,

176
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.759
because you've been infused with righteousness you have to be different.

177
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:27.440
And then they see justification and sanctification as being interconnected. Wait, wait,

178
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.360
what if there's no sanctification, then there was no justification.

179
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.720
Why because sanctification proves your justification Because in justification you

180
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.600
were infused with righteousness, so therefore it should be demonstrated

181
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.360
in your sanctification. Please note that, because if you listen

182
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.960
to that, that sounds just like Lordship's salvation right now.

183
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:50.519
The actual Protestant view imputed righteousness non Catholic Christians, especially

184
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:57.639
within supposedly reformed churches whatever, Okay, supposedly within reformed churches.

185
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.080
Clearly in Lutheran churches, they teach that a righteousness. That

186
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:03.600
righteousness is.

187
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.000
Imputed to the believer.

188
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.120
This means that the righteousness of Christ is credited to

189
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.919
the believer's account through faith alone, not because of any

190
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.240
inherent transformation or works. It's not about transformation, it's not

191
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.600
about works. It's about God's righteousness is accredited to my account.

192
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.399
It does not change me. It does not transform me,

193
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.759
It does not do anything practically. It just changes my

194
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.559
position before God. And now I'm declared to be that

195
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:41.600
which I am not. In this view, salvation is viewed

196
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.799
as a monargistic God alone accomplishes it, and justification is

197
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.200
a one time declarative act of God where the believer

198
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.519
is declared righteous even though they remain a sinner and practice.

199
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.159
Let me state that again. If you believe in imputed salvation,

200
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.679
a righteous based off in imputed righteousness. If you truly

201
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.159
believe that, not just theoretically, but you truly believe that,

202
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.840
then this is what you believe. A believer is declared

203
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:17.200
righteous even though they remain a sinner and practice. If

204
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.279
you believe in imputed righteousness, someone is declared righteous but

205
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.840
they are still a sinner and practice. Now I know

206
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.679
lordship will be like well, you'll sind less. How do

207
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.279
you want to how do you measure that sin less?

208
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.759
According to what? If you're guilty at one point of

209
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.840
the law, you're guilty of all. So how do you

210
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.600
mant I sin less? I'm guilty of all points of

211
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.360
the law at all times. Be holy as God is holy?

212
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.279
Are you ever doing that?

213
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.679
No? Therefore you're in a perpetual status sin. Like if

214
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:47.600
you believe in imputed righteousness, you know that you are

215
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.639
in a perpetual state of sin. Trying to say you

216
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.360
sin more or sin less is a subjective measurement based

217
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.399
on you creating a list of which sins you can

218
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.759
and can't commit, which is basically going back to Catholicism

219
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:08.320
with a list of mortal and venial sins and just think,

220
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.440
and I'll go ahead and say this, and imputed righteousness.

221
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:19.919
Make it very clear, sanctification cannot prove imputed righteousness. Nothing

222
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:24.360
can prove imputed righteousness because it's imputed. It's simply credited

223
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:29.200
to your account. If someone believes you can't prove imputed

224
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.720
righteousness because it doesn't produce righteousness, it just declares you

225
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:37.360
to be that which you were not. All right, So

226
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.159
that is the big difference there. That is the big distinction.

227
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.600
We have to emphasize that. Okay, so I wanted to

228
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.559
spend time definitely reviewing that. I want to definitely take

229
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:53.320
the time to take that apart. All right, So here

230
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.200
is some kind of a and I'm going to go

231
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.080
through this quickly. I'm going to go through this fast.

232
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.279
You've got to make sure you know that. So make

233
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.159
sure you just know imputed versus infused. And I will

234
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.360
argue if you believe and imputed. If the Lordship Salvation

235
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.399
begins to start, you already start having problems. You're going

236
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.399
to have to play a lot of silly verbal games

237
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.159
to try to make it work because you're going to

238
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.879
really revert back to an infused righteous understanding. So we

239
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.000
kind of gave in the last episode kind of a

240
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.120
philological analysis of Lordships Salvation. We talked about infused versus imputed,

241
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:30.039
righteousness infused Catholicism, righteousness is infused, Salvation is syenergicent.

242
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.399
We talked about all of that.

243
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:39.240
Okay, Now, Lordship Salvation's contradictions are contradiction. Lordship claims to

244
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.240
affirm imputed righteousness, and this is what AI says, but

245
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.480
it emphasizes works as a proof of salvation, effectively aligning

246
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.000
itself with infused righteousness.

247
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.720
I want you to hear that again. AI says.

248
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:04.600
That lordship salvation they claim, they claim to emphasize to

249
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.799
affirm imputed right or infused righteous or imputed righteousness. Let

250
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.679
me state that again, lordship claims to affirm imputed righteousness.

251
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.960
If you talk to anyone who holds to lordship salvation,

252
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.919
anyone who goes to a lordship salvation type church, or

253
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.679
even if they don't go to a lordship salvation type church,

254
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.279
you hear them talk about salvation, it's very a lordship

255
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:23.960
way of thinking.

256
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.679
They will affirm you.

257
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:32.000
Are saved by imputed righteousness. However, they will then emphasize that,

258
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:36.960
how do you prove someone's salvation by works? The minute

259
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:42.080
they say someone's salvation is proved by works, they effectively,

260
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.879
this is what AI says, effectively.

261
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:51.200
Aligns themselves with infused righteousness.

262
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.399
AI knows that the minute you say, oh, works prove

263
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.240
someone's salvation, you are denying imputed righteousness and you're returning

264
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.600
to an infused righteous idea, which is Roman Catholicism. That's

265
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.519
why I forget what AI says. I have said it

266
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.559
or forget what I say, listen to AI. Whichever one

267
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.879
you want to listen to. AI knows better than I do.

268
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.240
But I have been saying.

269
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.759
Way before AI that look, if you're going to go

270
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.600
to and a lordship idea, then why go to some

271
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.159
fake Catholic church. Go to a Catholic church. Don't go

272
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.559
to some Protestant church where you're like, oh, we believe

273
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.679
in reform theology.

274
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.799
No, you don't.

275
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.440
You are denying the very Reformation, and you're going back

276
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.320
to the very enemy of the Reformation, which is the

277
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.080
Catholic Church, because you're holding to.

278
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.360
An infused righteous view.

279
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.879
So then I asked AI to critique lordship salvation. First,

280
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:46.759
it says lordship salvation is guilty of circular reasoning. Lordship

281
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.679
says works don't save you, but they prove your salvation,

282
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:57.000
which creates a functional dependence on works. Hey, works don't

283
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.240
save you, but you have works to prove your salvation,

284
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.519
meaning I have to have works in order to be saved.

285
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.480
So it's a works based system and it's circular reasoning

286
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:10.200
in the which is a logical fallacy. It undermines assurance

287
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:16.319
by making salvation contingent on a subjective performance. How can

288
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:17.880
you know you're saved? Well, you got to do this

289
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.160
and you got to do that. Well, how do I

290
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.559
know if I've done enough? How many works? What kind

291
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.079
of works? When do I know I've done enough? I

292
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:25.839
can't even be sure until I get all the way

293
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.319
to the end of my life and hopefully I can

294
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.200
look back and I've got enough works that proved that

295
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:34.079
I was saved. Well, that's subjective. That means you can

296
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:39.720
never know for sure if you're saved. It blurs the

297
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.279
line between law and gospel. The lordship Salvation treats the

298
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.400
Gospel as a new form of law. By tying assurance

299
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:53.839
to obedience, it destroys the Gospel. It takes the Gospel

300
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.000
and turns it into a law. Hey, if you believe

301
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:58.839
you'll do this, and you'll do this, and you'll do this,

302
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.440
and you do this and you don't do this, then

303
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.599
you didn't believe. Therefore you're not saved. Therefore you have

304
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:08.799
to do this in order to be saved. Lordship Salvation

305
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:14.759
will claim monargism. However, the emphasis on works makes salvation

306
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.640
feel contingent on human effort. Not only that, it's similar

307
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.000
to Catholic theology conditional assurance and the intertwining of justification

308
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.839
and sanctification is Catholicism. It merges justification and sanctification because

309
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:31.079
sanctification becomes the proof of justification. You can't really have

310
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.599
assurance because you don't know if you're going to have

311
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.799
enough works to prove that you're saved. Basically, it's Roman

312
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:48.920
Catholicism disguised. So Ai then AI affirm the critique of

313
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.759
lordship salvation. It recognized its practical alignment with Catholicism. AI

314
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:59.200
recognize lordship's practical alignment with Catholicism. AI highlighted the inconsistency

315
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:05.880
between lordship's and imputed righteousness. Ai Ai raised the following

316
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:11.200
points that Protestant sermons emphasized transformation, resembling infused righteousness. Every

317
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.759
Protestant sermons talks about being transformed, being changed, being a

318
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:20.200
new creature. All of that is infused righteousness. AI pointed

319
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.720
out that assurance is tied to works, which leads to

320
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.160
doubt and a performance based mentality. And AI pointed out

321
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:31.880
a proper understanding of imputed righteousness focuses entirely on Christ's work,

322
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:37.480
not human effort. So AI pointed out all of that right,

323
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.880
so AI then gave some discussion questions. I'm not going

324
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.799
to go into those right now. AI then provided some

325
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:48.599
challenges for lordship salvation for people who believe it. AI

326
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.400
asked the question, this is these are questions AI asked

327
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.400
as if someone as if it was talking to someone who.

328
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.599
Believes in lordship salvation.

329
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.599
If imputed righteousness declares believers righteousness despite their sin, how

330
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:07.440
can works prove salvation? I've only been asking that question

331
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.079
for I don't know ten years, but uh, hey, AI

332
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.920
figures that out. Hey, if it imputed righteousness declares to

333
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.400
someone to be righteous, then how can works prove salvation?

334
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.480
Your works can't prove anything because you were declared righteous

335
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.480
because of an imputed righteousness. How do you reconcile ongoing

336
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.559
sin and believers with the claim that transformation is necessary

337
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:35.319
evidence for salvation? AI's like, Hey, how do you reconcile

338
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.880
the fact that we all continue to sin be holy

339
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.599
as He is holy?

340
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.279
You never do that.

341
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.519
You're in a perpetual stat of sin. So how can

342
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.240
then you say transformation is the proofs of salvation? Because

343
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.799
then transformation would have to require almost some level of

344
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.119
perfection or it would never approve anything. It would become subjective.

345
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:58.759
AI then asked this question, how many works, what kind

346
00:20:58.759 --> 00:20:59.240
of works?

347
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:02.160
How many and.

348
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.640
What kind are sufficient to prove your salvation. AI then

349
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.680
asked this question number four. Does tying assurance to work

350
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:12.240
contradict the Reformation's emphasis on faith alone? If you would

351
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.640
tie your assurance based on what you do or don't do,

352
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:23.279
you're destroying faith alone, You're denying the entire Reformation. Then

353
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.799
AI says, can you demonstrate a clear distinction between justification

354
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.279
and sanctification and lordship salvation theology? If you hold the

355
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:35.960
lordship salvation? Can you truly draw a distinction between justification

356
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:41.240
and sanctification? And remember we talked about this, and I

357
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:46.039
pointed out countless times that in practice we merge justification

358
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.640
and sanctification just like Catholics do. Remember I talked about this,

359
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.200
So remember I raised the question, maybe we should just

360
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.720
go be Catholic since we already destroy the distinction between

361
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.519
justification and sanctification. Because you destroy the distinction between justification

362
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.440
and sanctification the minute you say sanctification is proof of

363
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:12.799
your justification. You cannot prove justification by sanctification if you

364
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.839
are justified by an imputed righteousness so therefore you've got

365
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:25.440
to draw a distinction between the two. Now, so that's

366
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.480
kind of just putting it all back together. That's putting

367
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.319
it all back together, and that's not even a great review.

368
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.559
I didn't even follow AI's outline from my review, because

369
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:36.880
there was Ai even gave me too much to review.

370
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.720
Probably there I skipped most of it. So I then

371
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.759
started continuing to talk to Ai. I continue to talk

372
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:49.279
to Ai about Lordship Salvation, and AI went on to

373
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:55.160
say this, it would be fair and it would be

374
00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:01.000
accurate to describe Lordship's Salvation as a non Catholic form

375
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:10.960
of Catholicism. AI says, hey, Lordship Salvation is a non

376
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.480
Catholic form of Catholicism.

377
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.400
That's the words it used.

378
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.960
And they say it is true in this sense in

379
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.599
terms of its functional theology. In other words, in theory,

380
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.400
it may try to be as different as Catholicism is.

381
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.160
Maybe sometimes when they preach, they'll try to show how

382
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.920
different they are from Cathology, from Catholicism. But in there

383
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:40.200
in it's practical, outworking. The theology is no, it's just

384
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:49.720
simply Catholicism. It says, Lordship Salvation maintains Protestant terminology and

385
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:55.240
denies Catholic doctrines explicitly. But the way it the way

386
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:01.319
it ties works to salvation, resembles Catholic theology in several ways.

387
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:04.640
And here's why this description works. So AI is going

388
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.119
to justify saying that lordship salvation is a non Catholic

389
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:13.160
form of Catholicism. This is AI say, I'm going to

390
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.960
justify why this is an accurate description. Number one similarities

391
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:26.640
and the role of works. Catholicism teaches that works, empowered

392
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.920
by grace are necessary for salvation. Justification is a process

393
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:38.799
involving faith, works and sacraments. That's what Catholicism teaches. Let

394
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.200
me say it again, that works. It teaches that works

395
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.640
are empowered by grace and they are necessary for salvation.

396
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:54.160
Justification is a process involving faith, works and sacraments. Now

397
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.920
you said, well, how does that How is that similar

398
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.960
to lordship? Well, let's let AI tell us how it's similar.

399
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:06.599
AI says, lordship denies that work save and it insists

400
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.519
that works are necessary evidence of genuine faith, making them

401
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:16.440
essential for assurance of salvation. So just like you have

402
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:20.759
to have works in order to be saved in Catholicism. Well,

403
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.759
in lordship salvation, you have to have works in order

404
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:26.519
to prove your saved, meaning you have to have these

405
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:31.119
works in order to be saved. It's the same thing.

406
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.799
And both systems.

407
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:41.240
Works are functionally indispensable, whether as a part of earning

408
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.759
it or as proof of having it. But if you

409
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.720
have to prove, if you have to have works in

410
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.599
order to prove you have salvation, then you have to

411
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.839
have works in order to be saved. So it's you're

412
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.759
just playing a semantics game. You're just playing a verbal game.

413
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.240
So the similarities when it comes to works and guess what,

414
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.799
why do you have these works and lordship salvation. I mean,

415
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:09.960
AI doesn't even get into this. But if you have

416
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.759
to have these works, where where do the works arise from? Well,

417
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.240
lordship salvation, even though they may not use the term,

418
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.799
it's because of an infused righteousness. You would have to

419
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.920
have an infused righteousness for the good works to show up. Right,

420
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:31.839
the whole thing begins to fall apart. Conditional assurance, So

421
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.920
this is a second problem. Catholicism teaches that assurance of

422
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.400
salvation is conditional and tied to the believer's cooperation with grace,

423
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.119
avoiding mortal sin, and remaining in a state of grace.

424
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:48.960
Lordship salvation assurance is conditional, tied to a believer's visible

425
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:53.200
fruit and obedience. If sufficient evidence of transformation is not present,

426
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.400
doubts about salvation are warranted. And guess what, Hey, you've

427
00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.720
got to have enough works and guess what, lordship salvation

428
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.039
will Hey, hey, you've got to prove your safe.

429
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:03.279
And guess what.

430
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.160
Some sins don't call into question your salvation. Ry, some

431
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.599
sins don't some sense call into question your salvation. Oh wait,

432
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.400
does that not sound like mortal and venial sin? Oh?

433
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.279
Someone a teenager who saved?

434
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:28.799
Who who struggles with heterosexual pornography or struggles with a fornication? Okay,

435
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.720
that doesn't necessarily disprove their saved. But if that teenager

436
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.119
struggles with homosexuality, Oh, then immediately they're not saved.

437
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.640
Well what just happened? Well, because this one's mortal, these

438
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:43.400
are venial. In that convenient.

439
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:51.079
Lordship plays the same game. It's like, no those sins, Oh, pride, arrogance,

440
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:58.079
self righteous, judgmental condemning. Oh that's okay. Oh, but if

441
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.880
you commit this sin or this sin or this sin,

442
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.759
you proved you were never saved, so just so who

443
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.720
get At least in the Catholic Church, the church claims

444
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:08.599
to have the authority to give you what is a

445
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.559
mortal and venial sin? I guess. Within the Protestant lordship world,

446
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.920
I guess each believer gets to determine what are the

447
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.400
mortal and venial sins. The whole system is subjective and

448
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:26.640
it's ridiculous. Next, another problem is the blurring of justification

449
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:31.480
and sanctification and Catholicism, justification and sanctification are part of

450
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.759
the same process where the believer becomes progressively righteous through

451
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:40.119
cooperation with grace, lordship salvation. Though it claims to distinguish

452
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.160
justification at one time act from sanctification a process, the

453
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.960
heavy emphasis on obedience and transformation as evidence of salvation

454
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.960
conflates the two end practice. See the minute you say

455
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:57.599
your transformation proves your justification, then you are making justification

456
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:02.000
sanctification and you're making scentification a proof of justification, which

457
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.400
would mean your justification has to be based off an

458
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.640
infused righteousness and not an imputed righteousness. You destroy the

459
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.119
distinction between justification and sanctification, and for all practical purposes,

460
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:19.640
you basically are a Catholic. The practical blurring undermines the

461
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.000
Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone, where righteousness is

462
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.720
fully imputed to the believer apart from works.

463
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.720
Remember, the Protestant.

464
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.319
Teaching is God imputes your righteous his righteousness to your

465
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:36.759
account apart from works. Works don't earn it, works don't

466
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:49.559
prove it. Next philological and pastoral implications. Both systems risk

467
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:54.160
leading believers into introspection and fear as they constantly evaluate

468
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:57.319
their works and obedience to determine their standing before God.

469
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.559
This focus shifts from the sufficiency of Christ's work to

470
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:05.839
the believer's performance, creating a workspace mentality, even if it's unintentional. Well,

471
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.039
because what are you looking to? You're not looking to

472
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.039
the finished work of Christ. And you get these questions

473
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:13.279
all the time in Protestant churches. How do I know

474
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:15.720
I'm saved? How do I know I'm saved? How do

475
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:21.400
look to Christ? That's how you know you're saved? Well,

476
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:23.720
I do this, and I do this, and I struggle

477
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.440
with this. None of that matters, because you're saved by

478
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.480
what Christ did, not by what you do. What you

479
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.319
do doesn't prove it. What you do doesn't earn it,

480
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.640
what you do doesn't change it. You are either saved

481
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.079
by the finished work of Jesus Christ or you are not.

482
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.720
And if you're saved by the finished work of Jesus Christ,

483
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.160
you look to his imputed righteousness and everything else is

484
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.920
irrelevant as far as your salvation is concerned, as far

485
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.480
as spiritual growth, as far as practical implications of sin

486
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.480
and consequences, all of that has practical implications, but as

487
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.119
far as your justification, you're justified because of what Christ.

488
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.559
Did, not on the basis of what you do.

489
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.960
And Christians love to sit around, well, I don't know

490
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.720
if that person is saved because they did this and

491
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.240
they did and I don't know if that person is saved, Yeah,

492
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:12.599
because you think you're so wonderful and perfect because they're

493
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.039
committing the mortal sins while you sit around in your

494
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:19.279
self righteous, condemning attitude and you don't even see your

495
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:32.599
own sin. So AI goes on to say, now I'm

496
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.000
skipping some things because I'm trying to make us cover

497
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:38.319
as much ground as possible. AI says this, This is

498
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.079
a direct quote from artificial intelligence. The issue for lordship

499
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:49.240
salvation is not Antiinomianism. The issue for lordship salvation is

500
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:54.079
not easy believism. The issue for lordship salvation is not

501
00:31:54.480 --> 00:32:00.480
cheap grace, but rather the doctrine of salvation and by

502
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:05.359
imputed righteousness. Lordship salvation will try to argue the problem

503
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.279
is Antinomianism. The problem is easy believism. The problem is

504
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.279
cheap grace and ais like no, no, no, that's not

505
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.799
your problem. Your problem is the doctrine of imputed righteousness.

506
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.160
Let me state it again.

507
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:24.200
Lordship salvation is the enemy of the doctrine of justification

508
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:29.160
by imputed righteousness. It is the enemy. It denies imputed righteousness.

509
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:34.200
It fights against the doctrine. It takes you away from

510
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.960
looking to the imputed righteousness as assurance, so that you

511
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.640
have to look to your stink and self to somehow

512
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.359
prove if you're saved by if you're good enough. And

513
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:43.920
the only way you're good enough is you've got to

514
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.519
go along with whatever lordship salvation people tell you you're

515
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:48.599
supposed to do, and if you do what they tell

516
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:50.759
you you're supposed to do, you're good enough. But they

517
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.319
don't determine it. God determines it. And if you're going

518
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.559
to look to works. God demands perfection, You're never gonna

519
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:00.200
be it. So stop listening the Lordship Salvation because as

520
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.000
they literally are the enemies of the doctrine of imputed righteousness.

521
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:09.000
They are the enemy. They are no different than Catholicism.

522
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.799
If you're gonna condemn Catholicism, you have to condemn lordship Salvation.

523
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.799
There is no neutrality here. If you accept lordship salvation,

524
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.960
then do not condemn Catholicism. Don't tell me Catholics aren't saved.

525
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:26.079
Then if your Lordship Salvation friends are saved, then Catholics

526
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:26.480
are saved.

527
00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:35.400
Because it's the same system.

528
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.559
No nobody's going to like that, but it is the

529
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:43.759
same system in every practical way.

530
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.720
Here's what Ai said.

531
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.799
Imputed righteousness contradicts the core of lordship salvation. The doctrine

532
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.359
of imputed righteousness teaches that the believer is declared righteous

533
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.119
before God solely on the basis of christ righteousness, which

534
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:03.160
is credited to their account by faith. Lordship salvation insists

535
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.279
that salvation must be accompanied by a life of visible

536
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:10.760
obedience and works to validate that faith. This shifts the

537
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.920
focus from the sufficiency of Christ imputed righteousness to the

538
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:18.639
believer sanctification as evidence of justification. The problem is is

539
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:22.119
that lordship salvation struggles to fully accept that justification is

540
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.639
a complete and final act at the moment of faith,

541
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:29.199
regardless of the believer's subsequent works or level of sanctification.

542
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.559
At the moment of faith, you are declared perfectly righteous.

543
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:36.280
It's done, it's finished. There's no going back saying wait, wait, wait, wait,

544
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.320
you didn't do this, you're not doing this, you're doing this,

545
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:41.719
you're struggling with this. None of that matters because you

546
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.559
were declared righteous at the moment of faith. You can't

547
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.760
come back and say, well, I know you believed, but

548
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:49.559
you didn't do this and this and this and this,

549
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.960
and if you really would have believed, then this would

550
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:53.679
have changed. Well why would have this had changed the

551
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.760
moment I believed unless I was infused with righteousness. But

552
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.519
I wasn't infused with righteousness because I was declared to

553
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.280
be that which I'm not, which is the entire doctrine

554
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:11.239
of imputed righteousness. So imputed righteousness contradicts the core of

555
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:16.920
lordship salvation. I can't state that enough. It literally contradicts

556
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:23.679
the core of lordship salvation. Contradicts imputed righteousness. Number two.

557
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:29.280
Another problem is it misdiagnoses. The problem see Antiinomianism is

558
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:33.639
the rejection of moral law. Easy believism and cheap grace

559
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:37.599
are often used as straw men by Lordship Salvation advocates.

560
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:41.400
These terms imply that any teaching emphasizing salvation by grace

561
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:44.840
alone through faith alone will inevitably lead to moral laxity

562
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.400
or a disregard for holiness. However, the doctrine of imputed

563
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:53.840
righteousness does not lead to antinomianism. It teaches that good

564
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:58.039
works flow from at a gratitude for God's grace, not

565
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.440
as a requirement to prove salva. The real tension for

566
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:05.960
lordship Salvation is that imputed righteousness renders any demand for

567
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:14.039
works or obedience as proof of salvation unnecessary and philologically inconsistent.

568
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.039
Believing in imputed righteousness does not make you an Antinomian.

569
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.400
Believing a salvation by imputed righteousness does not make you

570
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:26.840
someone who believes in easy believism or believes in cheap grace.

571
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.119
And anyone who says that it's.

572
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.079
Just a lie, it's just a straight up life, it's

573
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:34.199
a mischaracterization.

574
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:35.440
It's a straw man.

575
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:41.320
It's attacking people on the basis of complete ignorance. No,

576
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:44.239
you know what it is, it's actually attacking people. You're

577
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.559
not attacking people, You're attacking the doctrine of imputed righteousness.

578
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:51.079
That's your issue. Take it up with imputed righteousness now again.

579
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.679
I got no problem if you want to say, hey,

580
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.920
we need to reevaluate the doctrine of imputed right now,

581
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:00.519
I'm willing to have this conversation. Let's see if the

582
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.480
doctrine of imputed righteousness is wrong, maybe the Bible actually

583
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:07.199
teaches infused righteousness, So maybe we need to reject the

584
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:12.280
entire Reformation, reject imputed righteousness, return to an infused righteous mindset.

585
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.360
And if you can prove that, then I'll be like,

586
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.079
you know what I think at this point, we just

587
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:19.519
go back to Catholicism and we'll just go join a

588
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:23.320
Catholic church and be good Catholics. I'm not going to

589
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.960
go play games in your little fake Catholic church claiming

590
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.719
to be a Protestant church when you're no more Protestant

591
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:42.400
than the pope. Lordship Salvation reintroduces a works based framework

592
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:46.719
by making works a necessary proof of salvation. Lordship Salvation

593
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:50.039
undermines the very nature of imputed righteousness, which declares the

594
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:53.599
believer fully righteous in Christ, regardless of their personal performance.

595
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.760
Make sure you if you believe in imputed righteousness, you

596
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:01.000
are perfectly righteous. It doesn't matter what you do, it

597
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.199
doesn't change the imputed right it was imputed to your account.

598
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.079
You're perfectly righteous no matter what you do. I know

599
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.320
Christians hate hearing that, but if you believe in imputed righteousness,

600
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:16.239
that's the way it works. See, the demand for works

601
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:19.719
effectively shifts the focus from christ righteousness to the believer's behavior.

602
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:28.360
And this reintroduces a functional works based element into salvation.

603
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.400
And that's exactly what happens. You end up in a

604
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:42.400
works based system. So AI says, Hey, look, lordship salvation

605
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:47.519
is basically the problem with lordship salvation is not Antiinomianism.

606
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:49.800
It's not any of these other things. The issue with

607
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:53.519
lordship salvation is imputed righteousness. Why is this so Because

608
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.280
imputed righteousness contradicts the core of lordship salvation. Because lordship

609
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.159
salvation misdiagnoses the problem when it's not Antinomianism. It is

610
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:06.119
not any of this issue. It's imputed righteousness. Lordship Salvation

611
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:10.000
reintroduces a workspace framework which is at odds with imputed righteousness.

612
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:14.719
Number four, Assurance becomes dependent on sanctification. The doctrine of

613
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:18.639
imputed righteousness provides assurance because it rests solely on Christ's

614
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:23.920
finished work see imputed richness. My assurance is Christ's perfection

615
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.719
the end. What's your assurance in Salvation?

616
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:28.519
Christ?

617
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:30.679
What's your assurance that you're going to heaven?

618
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:31.199
Christ?

619
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:33.000
What's your assurance you're not going to hell?

620
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:37.199
Christ? What's your assurance that you're saved? Christ?

621
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.719
Well? What about these passages that say works? Christ? Did

622
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.960
those works for me? If that's not my proof, and

623
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.000
I have to start looking to myself, I'm going to hell.

624
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.119
You're going to hell if you're even remotely honest with

625
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:53.199
yourself unless you create a mortal venial list.

626
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.360
Lordship.

627
00:39:56.440 --> 00:40:01.119
Salvation ties assurance to the believer's sanctification, specific their ability

628
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:05.159
to demonstrate fruit and obedience. This creates a subjective and

629
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:10.079
unstable foundation for assurance, which is at odds with objective

630
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.719
reality of imputed righteousness. See It objectively denies the reality

631
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:18.360
of imputed righteousness by saying this, prove this, prove this.

632
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:20.159
Here's the test here's the test.

633
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:25.199
Here's the test, meaning then the imputed righteousness becomes it

634
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:31.440
doesn't even matter anything in a practical sense. AI says,

635
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.519
the real issue, here's the real issue. The real issue

636
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:40.440
is a failure to trust Christ's work. Lordship's salvation is

637
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:48.480
ultimately uncomfortable with the radical nature of grace. It seeks

638
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:54.719
to safeguard holiness by adding conditions are proofs, but in

639
00:40:54.840 --> 00:41:02.280
so doing so, it undermines the sufficiency of Christ imputed righteousness.

640
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:08.199
The doctrine of imputed righteousness declares that salvation is entirely

641
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.079
a gift received by faith, and it cannot be measured

642
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:17.599
or proven by the believer's performance. This is a stumbling

643
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:27.480
block to lordship salvation. It falls apart, ladies and gentlemen.

644
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:34.239
Lordship salvation is based off an infused righteousness mentality. It

645
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:38.559
just is, and imputed righteousness destroys it. And the issue

646
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:42.039
with lordship salvation it's not Antinomianism. It's not all the

647
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:43.400
accusations they throw.

648
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.760
At people, usually believism, cheap grace.

649
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:48.880
Oh, while you picked up some cliches, you picked up

650
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.239
some slogans. I'm so glad you can repeat slogans. But

651
00:41:52.320 --> 00:42:01.239
it's nowhere. Your issue is imputed righteousness. So AI goes

652
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:10.599
on to say, this Lordship Salvation operates on certain assumptions,

653
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:17.719
and it assumes that believers. Now this is an assumption

654
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:23.039
built into Lordship Salvation that a believer has the ability

655
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.559
to live in obedience to God's commands, which can be

656
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:34.920
problematic when you examine this biblically and when you examine

657
00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:40.079
this in light of reality. Here's a breakdown of the

658
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:43.639
core assumptions and why they should raise theological concerns. So

659
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:45.280
now Ai is going to be like, look, if you

660
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.199
look at if you look at Lordship Salvation, it has

661
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.360
a basic assumption, and the basic assumption is.

662
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:50.400
You can do it.

663
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.440
You can obey the law, you can keep it. You

664
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.440
can do it. And AI's like, when you look at

665
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:58.559
this biblically, that doesn't make any sense. And when you

666
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.559
look at it reality, come on, even AI knows that

667
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.719
we don't keep the law. Even AI knows you, come on,

668
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:06.880
you don't keep the law of God. You're out of

669
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:14.920
your mind. So here's the first assumption, Ai says, Lordship

670
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:19.360
Salvation teaches that Christians can keep the law. Lordship Salvation's

671
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:25.199
assumption believe believe assumption says that believers can obey God's

672
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:29.159
law sufficiently to demonstrate their salvation. Now, please note the

673
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.719
game Lordship Salvation plays there. It doesn't say that you

674
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:36.760
can obey the law perfectly. Lordship Salvation will try to

675
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:41.119
play the game. You can obey the law sufficiently to

676
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:44.480
prove your salvation. But what is the sufficient amount to

677
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:49.280
prove yourselfage sont Ai. Lordship Salvation knows well, ultimately, you

678
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:53.239
can't keep the law perfectly, but you can keep it sufficiently.

679
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:56.480
So there's a sufficient amount of things you must do

680
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.920
in order to prove your safe But this is a problem. Right.

681
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.719
I'll give you two passages that show you this as

682
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:08.719
a problem. First, John chapter three, Nicodemus. He's described as

683
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.800
a righteous man, a man that would meticulously try to

684
00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.920
keep the law. He would have been outwardly righteous, didn't

685
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:17.400
prove his salvation, meaning you can have a certain level

686
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:24.880
of outward righteous righteousness even though you're not saved. Right,

687
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:28.199
when we go to John chapter three and we read

688
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:35.760
about Nicodemus, there was a man, there was a man

689
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:39.239
of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

690
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.440
And when you learn about Nicodemus, and you learn about

691
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:45.119
the Pharisees. They were meticulous and trying to keep every

692
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:48.039
letter of the law, every jot and tittel. Do this,

693
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:50.679
don't do this, don't go here, don't eat this, don't

694
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:53.159
do this, don't do this, don't do that. They had

695
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:58.079
an outward form of righteousness, meaning that a lost person,

696
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:02.519
a completely unredject, de generate person, can have a certain

697
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:10.559
level of morality outwardly that can be achieved without salvation. Therefore, then,

698
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:12.880
out then, how are you going to then prove that

699
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:16.079
the outward works prove salvation when there's a certain level

700
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:19.079
of outward morality that even a lost person can achieve

701
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:22.960
Matthew Chapter seven, Lord Lord, didn't we do this? Didn't

702
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:25.000
we do this? Didn't we do this? Depart from me?

703
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.800
I never knew you outward proof? No? So then so

704
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:32.719
then a lordship is like, well, you can't do it perfectly,

705
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:36.320
but you can do it sufficiently. So how much outward

706
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.239
works then is sufficient to prove salvation?

707
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:41.920
Why is it? Why is it?

708
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:45.639
Why? Why are we watering down the requirement? God demands

709
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:49.320
be holy as I am holy. God demands be perfect

710
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:51.800
ause I am perfect? Why does lordship, come along a wall.

711
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.119
You know you can.

712
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:54.199
You can keep the law.

713
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.280
You can't keep it perfectly, but you can keep it

714
00:45:56.320 --> 00:46:02.280
sufficiently to prove your salvation. So in efficient obedience, it's

715
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:06.760
proof of salvation. That makes no sense. If you're going

716
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:11.760
to make proof required, then if you're going to make

717
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.079
works as proof, then you would have to demand perfect works.

718
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.880
The whole thing falls apart, all right, and again to

719
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.039
obey the law sufficiently. I don't even know what that means.

720
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:24.159
Ai says.

721
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.440
Scripture is clear that even after salvation, believers continue to

722
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.480
struggle with sin. The law reveals our inability in a

723
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:33.199
meet God's standard, driving us to rely on Christ righteousness

724
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:37.960
not around. So even Ai says, look, the Bible clearly

725
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:41.239
demonstrates that we're still going to be living in sin

726
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:49.280
even as a believer. If perfect this is what Ai says,

727
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:57.480
If perfect or near perfect lawkeeping were possible, there would

728
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:03.480
be no need for christ imputed righteousness. If you can

729
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:07.079
do it, then you don't need imputed righteousness. Now, the

730
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.800
fact that lordship believes that you can even do near

731
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.480
you can do sufficient works to prove it, then they

732
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:16.960
have to believe in infused righteousness, because how else are

733
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:18.960
you able to produce these works? Unless you're just saying

734
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.280
anybody can produce a near sufficient level of works. Well,

735
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.960
if you can produce a near level sufficient a level

736
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.039
of works even without an infused righteousness, then meaning you

737
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:29.760
can do it on your own or is it God

738
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:31.639
doing it in you? And if God's doing it in you,

739
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:33.320
then why can't God get you to perfection?

740
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:34.440
So the whole thing.

741
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.880
Falls apart Logically, if God is the one getting you

742
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.400
to near sufficient works to prove your salvation, why would

743
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.360
God only get you to near sufficient or sufficient? Why

744
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:45.960
would he not get you to perfection? Then that means

745
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:47.840
God doesn't want you to be perfect. If God doesn't

746
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:50.119
want you to be perfect, then why do you get

747
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.400
upset when people say because God is the one who

748
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.760
doesn't want someone to be perfect? The whole thing because

749
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.320
they just fall up. It makes no sense. And the

750
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.960
more you it's like the more you pull one string,

751
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:09.280
it just everything begins to unravel. The second assumption that

752
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:13.159
let Lordship's Salvation makes is that Christians can love God

753
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.760
with all their heart, soul, and mind. Lordship Salvation teaches

754
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:21.400
that believers can love God fully and without reservation, demonstrating

755
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:28.199
their salvation by their devotion. AI says, here's the problem.

756
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:34.360
The Greatest Commandment sets an impossibly high standard that no

757
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:40.840
believer fulfills perfectly. Even the most devout Christian falls short

758
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:43.320
and loving God as they should. This is why salvation

759
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:46.880
must rest on Christ's perfect love for the Father, not

760
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.960
on our love for the Father. AI knows we can't

761
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:51.360
do it.

762
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:53.960
Why does Lordship Salvation believe.

763
00:48:53.719 --> 00:49:00.679
That we can. You've got to be delusional. The third

764
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.079
assumption Lordship Salvation makes is that Christians can be holy

765
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:09.159
as God is holy. Believers can achieve a level of

766
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.480
personal holiness that reflects God's holiness and prove their salvation.

767
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:16.800
That's what Lordship Salvation teaches, as that believers can achieve

768
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.599
a level of personal holiness that reflects god holiness and

769
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:23.360
prove their salvation. The problem, according to AI, is the

770
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:25.960
command to be holy as I am holy reflects God's

771
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:32.360
perfect standard, which no human being can achieve in this life.

772
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:38.320
While sanctification evolves growth, believers will always fall short. AI says, hey,

773
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.239
we can't do AI says, you can't do it. Lordship

774
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.280
says you can. AI's like you're out of your mind.

775
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:52.239
It's amazing. That AI can be more honest. A fourth

776
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:56.039
assumption that Lordship Salvation makes is that works can be

777
00:49:56.079 --> 00:50:01.119
pure and uncorrupted enough to prove salvation. Lordship self assumes

778
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:04.320
the works of a true believer are sufficiently pure and

779
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:08.840
untainted by sin to serve as evidence of salvation. Here's

780
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:12.840
the theological problem. Even the best works of believers are

781
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:16.679
still imperfect and tainted by sin Isaiah sixty four to six,

782
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.559
Romans seven eighteen. The idea that human works can prove

783
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:25.719
salvation misunderstands the ongoing presence of sin and the believer's life,

784
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.000
and elevates human effort over God's grace. AI's like, look,

785
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:33.480
even your best works are tainted, even your good works

786
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:36.760
are corrupted. So how could your works have reproved salvation?

787
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.559
Because your works are never pure. Lordship Salvation says, your

788
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:44.480
works are pure enough to prove your salvation. That's ridiculous.

789
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.800
That means you almost have to deny the existence of

790
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:50.559
You cannot say that and believe that people. Here's ultimately

791
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:52.760
what Lordship Salvation is going to do. You've got to

792
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:57.280
reject imputed righteousness, and you've got to reject the idea

793
00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:00.320
that a Christian still has a sinful nature, because if

794
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.880
you believe that Christians still have a sinful nature, then

795
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.719
you would have to assume that every work that we

796
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:08.880
do is corrupted in some way, shape or form by

797
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:09.840
that sinful nature.

798
00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:12.239
Since our works arise from within us.

799
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.440
Unless you're saying now, just an external work, without even

800
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:18.400
being connected to an internal reality, can prove your salvation,

801
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:25.679
the whole thing falls apart. Ai said, here's the flaw

802
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:29.679
and these assumptions, these assumptions overestimate the believer's ability to

803
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.639
meet God's standard in this life. They shift the focus

804
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:36.119
from christ finished work and imputed righteousness to the believer's end,

805
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:40.440
perfect and incomplete sanctification. By holding believers to a standard

806
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:46.920
they cannot meet. Lordships, salvation inadvertently reintroduces a form of

807
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:52.639
work's righteousness, undermining the doctrine of justification by faith alone.

808
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:59.000
And here's what Ai says, here's a biblical perspective. Salvation

809
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.639
is entirely based on Christ's perfect obedience, death, and resurrection,

810
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:07.119
which are credited to the believer by faith.

811
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:08.320
I want you to hear that again.

812
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:17.360
Ai says, salvation is entirely based on Christ's perfect obedience, death,

813
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:20.679
and resurrection. And this is credited to the believer.

814
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:23.800
While good works and growth.

815
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:26.239
In holiness are evidence of God's ongoing work in a

816
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:31.679
believer's life, they are not the basis or proof of salvation.

817
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:35.519
Good works are great, Good works are about growth. Good

818
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:37.519
works may be showing what God may or may not

819
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:39.719
be doing inside a believer, because even then trying to

820
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.800
understand those works. But they are not proof of salvation.

821
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:48.519
They are not because you can't prove imputed righteousness.

822
00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:54.599
I've been saying this a million times. Third thing Ai

823
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:57.159
says is a biblical perspective. Believers are called to strive

824
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:00.199
for holiness, but the striving is always a company by

825
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:03.880
an acknowledgment of dependent on God's grace and an ongoing

826
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:09.519
acknowledgment that we still sin and will continue to sin.

827
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:24.119
I cannot stress enough. I'm fat and this and just

828
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:27.800
to remind everyone, and I talked about this in part one.

829
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:32.599
The fascinating thing about this is this the way we

830
00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:34.639
ended up in this way I ended up in.

831
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:36.599
This conversation, are we now since you're a part of it.

832
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:40.079
This conversation with Ai in regards to this subject is

833
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:44.119
Ai was reviewing a sermon on James two fourteen through

834
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:48.960
twenty six and AI was kind of like, uh, there's

835
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:52.159
some problems here, right, And as soon as it started

836
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.400
describing the problems, I was like, whoa wait a minute,

837
00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:59.000
AI is arguing against lordship salvation.

838
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:01.199
Is this fascinating?

839
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:04.039
So then I'm was like, okay, well, before I can

840
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:08.280
have AI critique lordship Salvation, we have to first draw

841
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:12.760
a distinction between infused imputed righteousness. Now this is where

842
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.880
my theological knowledge helps me have the conversation with AI,

843
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:18.519
because you've got to know the difference between infused and

844
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:21.119
imputed righteousness. And I think if you talk to a

845
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:25.400
lot of Christians, they say they believe in imputed righteousness,

846
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:27.159
but then when they start talking, they clearly believe in

847
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:32.280
an infused righteousness. I think most Christians are completely confused

848
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:33.320
over the difference.

849
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.199
Now, once you establish that difference.

850
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:42.920
Here's infused, here's imputed. Once you understand that difference, then

851
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:49.400
lordship Salvation is in trouble. And what ticks me off is, well,

852
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:53.880
I believed in Lordship's salvation. This really just irritates me

853
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:57.519
to know when when I believed in lordship salvation, I

854
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:02.760
criticize Catholicism. I condemn Catholicism well, I believed a system

855
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:04.960
that was more in line with Catholicism. But I was

856
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:07.679
condemning Catholicism based off all the stuff that you know,

857
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:10.719
you always hear you're supposed to condemn Catholicism about right,

858
00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:17.000
you know, the magisterium, people infallibility, you know Mary, you

859
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:20.400
know the Merriam dogmas, you know all these different things,

860
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:25.119
purgatory praying to the saints, just on all that typical

861
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:28.119
stuff that we condemn, you know, Catholicism for.

862
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:29.800
Right.

863
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:34.920
Oh well, it's Catholicism is ancient Babylonian religion brought back

864
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:37.800
all the stuff you want to just say. That's that's

865
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:40.320
where I went. And then finally I started realizing some

866
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:42.199
of those claims, some of the claims were already a

867
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:44.599
little fraudulent or questionable. And then when I'm like, well,

868
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:47.559
I'm going to study Catholicism so that I can better

869
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.480
critique Catholicism. Then I had no idea that what I

870
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:54.480
was walking into was really a critique of lordship salvation,

871
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:57.800
because I found myself going, wait a minute, this is

872
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:10.119
lordship salvation to the letter. If you believe in imputed righteousness,

873
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:15.800
lordship salvation falls apart now if you believe infused righteousness,

874
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.760
lordship salvation makes perfect sense. Lordship salvation is the enemy

875
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:24.960
of imputed righteousness. Even though their supporters would say no, no, no, no, no,

876
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:29.119
no no, but I'm telling you it doesn't work. If

877
00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:33.360
someone is declared righteous by faith alone, and they are

878
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:38.199
declared righteous because God credits his perfection to that person,

879
00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:43.920
there's no proof of that. There's no way to challenge that.

880
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:47.599
There's no way to question that. The issue is do

881
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:53.719
you believe? Are you trusting in Christ alone? Because action

882
00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:58.199
can't prove that. I can't show you imputed righteousness. Show

883
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:01.679
me your imputed righteousness, can't show you if you want,

884
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:04.840
I guess I could do this. Show me your imputed righteousness.

885
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:14.440
Here's a Bible, and go read everything about Jesus. He

886
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:19.760
was tempted in all points, yet without sin, he was holy,

887
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:23.519
he was perfect, he was righteous, he was obedient, he

888
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:29.159
fulfilled the Father's will, he loved God. There's my imputity

889
00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:31.440
if you want, if you want proof of my imputed righteousness,

890
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:35.559
go look at Jesus. Everything he did is now credited

891
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:37.800
to me. Therefore, that's the only proof I can get.

892
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:40.199
I can't give you proof on what I do because

893
00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:42.599
Christ doing all of those things and crediting it to

894
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:46.039
my account, don't it doesn't make me do those things.

895
00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:50.079
And I know that goes against everything the Evangelical, Protestant,

896
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:51.119
fundamentalist world.

897
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.360
It's all about change, change, change, it's all about moralism.

898
00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:57.679
Do this, don't do this, do this, don't do this,

899
00:57:57.719 --> 00:57:59.679
do this, don't do this, do this, don't do this,

900
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.320
do this, don't do this. Do more of this. Read

901
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.159
your Bible more, pray more, go to church more, get

902
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:08.159
more money, do this, do that, do this, do that,

903
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:15.559
do this. It's all about that. And so if you

904
00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:20.119
if you emphasize imputed righteousness, that kind of scares them.

905
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:23.599
Oh cheap grace easy believe is the anti nomian. Oh

906
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:26.639
oh oh you don't care, You don't care about living

907
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:33.320
out the Christian life, because they panic, They don't.

908
00:58:33.519 --> 00:58:34.639
They don't know what to do with that.

909
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:38.239
But if the whole thing falls apart, and isn't it

910
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:44.400
fascinating that AI is able to point out all of

911
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:48.079
these errors, That to me is the reason we're We've

912
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:49.639
talked about a lot of this stuff. But what I

913
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:51.719
want you to see from all of this is that

914
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.840
AI is able to go this whole thing falls apart,

915
00:58:56.360 --> 00:59:01.000
whole thing is inconsistent. If if now, if I asked

916
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:07.840
Ai to defend and give me the arguments from salvation,

917
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:13.679
if we accept infused righteousness as the right way of thinking,

918
00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:16.599
well then it will be able to defend lordship salvation.

919
00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:20.239
But it knows that lordship salvation is really incompatible with

920
00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:28.000
an imputed righteous view because it contradicts it. It's inconsistent

921
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:31.800
with it, it's incompatible with it. And even Ai acknowledges

922
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:35.719
that basically lordship salvation is a non Catholic form of Catholicism,

923
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:40.519
and I know that makes everyone so mad. Ai goes

924
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:42.239
on to say, we don't have time to get into

925
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.159
this now. Ai goes on to say, lordship Salvation fails

926
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:48.840
to maintain a proper distinction between law and gospel, which

927
00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:55.840
is a crucial principle in biblical theology. And remember when

928
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:58.760
I got into the whole discussion about long Gospel. That's

929
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:02.519
when people get really in servis. But you maintain a

930
01:00:02.559 --> 01:00:05.159
proper distinction between law and gospel. I think the only

931
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:09.440
way you can even understand your Bible if if you're

932
01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:14.320
going to view it from a Protestant perspective, from an imputed.

933
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:17.880
If you believe in imputed righteousness, you have to maintain

934
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:20.639
the law gospel distinction. Because when I see a passion

935
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:22.519
that says do this, do this, do this, do this,

936
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:25.079
it's telling me to do this to show me that

937
01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:25.760
I can't do it.

938
01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:27.920
So then I run to Christ, which did it?

939
01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:38.039
Law says do? Gospel says done. Now if I destroy

940
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:41.400
that proper law gospel distinction, now the law is like,

941
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:44.360
do this to prove you're saved. Do this to prove

942
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:46.639
you're saved. If you don't do this, you proved you're

943
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:48.800
not saved. If you don't do this, you prove you're

944
01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:50.280
not saved. Well, how much of it do I have

945
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:52.079
to do? Do I have to do it perfectly? Well,

946
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:54.440
you just got to do it sufficiently sufficiently?

947
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:55.639
Well, what does that even mean?

948
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:59.599
And then it becomes subjective. And then ultimately, if you're

949
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:02.119
even remotely honest with yourself, if you're going to hold

950
01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:04.960
the lordship salvation, here's a conclusion you should come to.

951
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:14.639
You're not saved. Why be holy as God is holy?

952
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:16.639
Do you ever do that? That means you're in a

953
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:18.639
perpetual state of sin. Twenty four hours a day, seven

954
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:20.559
days a week, huh. Love God with all your heart,

955
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:23.519
my body, and soul. Even Ai says you can't do that. Hmm,

956
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:25.800
well that would mean you're in a perpetual state of sin.

957
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:27.079
Love your neighbor as yourself.

958
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:27.519
Do you do that?

959
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:28.440
No? You fall?

960
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:30.320
How about do all things without.

961
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:32.880
Complaining and grumbling. How about I go no bitterness, no

962
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.159
one forgiveness, No this, no that. No.

963
01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:37.599
If you just even real after a.

964
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:39.559
While, you'd be like, you know what, this stuff doesn't

965
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:42.280
with This stuff is trash, it doesn't work. You would

966
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:45.480
just throw it to the curb. But no, no, no,

967
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:50.960
Lordship salvation convince themselves that they do it. Other people don't.

968
01:01:51.880 --> 01:01:55.760
I thank the Lord that I'm not like all of

969
01:01:55.880 --> 01:02:01.119
these people. I think the God that I'm not like

970
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:02.480
all of these people.

971
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:06.599
In fact, let's let's we'll end with that.

972
01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:12.079
The parable, I think? Is it the parable? Had always

973
01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:17.039
call it a parable. Let's look for that text of

974
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:19.320
the unrighteous?

975
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:30.920
Is that tax collector of the Is it a tax collector?

976
01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:31.639
I think maybe?

977
01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:38.880
And the Pharisee.

978
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:46.800
I think it's the tax collector and the Pharisee. Let

979
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:52.159
me see here, Yeah, it's Luke eighteen. I think it's

980
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:58.320
Luke eighteen. I think it's Luke eighteen.

981
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:05.000
The pharisee and the publican. All right, here we go.

982
01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:10.519
Luke eighteen verse nine. And he spaked this parable unto

983
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:16.360
certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and

984
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:22.159
despised others. Luke eighteen nine. Trusted in themselves that they

985
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:25.599
are righteous. Lordship salvation is all about, look at how righteous.

986
01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:25.760
Now.

987
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:27.880
They may try to say, God gave me the righteousness.

988
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:30.559
They may try to give God the credit, but it's like, look,

989
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:32.519
I do all of these things. This is how I

990
01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:35.039
know I'm saved. I know I'm saying because I do this,

991
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.760
I do this, I do this, I do this. They're

992
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.880
trusting in a righteousness that is somehow manifested in their

993
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:44.079
life as proof that they're saved by an imputed righteousness,

994
01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:46.800
which just logically makes no sense. But that's okay. They

995
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:49.760
look at that and guess what they tend to do.

996
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:52.760
They despise others. That person's not saved. Well, that person's

997
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:54.320
not sayd well, I don't know if that person can say,

998
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:56.079
are you sure that person can be saying? Can a

999
01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:58.320
person really be saved? And do this? They're always wanting

1000
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:01.159
the use their lordship salvation as there, I guess their

1001
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:04.440
ability to critique and judge everyone else's salvation because.

1002
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:08.840
You know them, they are good, but the other people aren't. Well,

1003
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:09.880
then how does the story go?

1004
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:12.719
Well, two men went up into a temple to pray,

1005
01:04:13.239 --> 01:04:16.119
the one a pharisee and the other a publican. The

1006
01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:19.039
pharisee stood and prayed, thus, I thank THEE that I'm

1007
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:22.840
not as other men are. I'm not an extortioner. And

1008
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:27.639
I'm adding here I'm not an, I'm not unjust, I'm

1009
01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:31.679
not an adulterer. I'm not or I'm not even as

1010
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:35.440
this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give

1011
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:42.039
tithes of all that I possess. Hey, I'm righteous, and

1012
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:44.280
all of those things that he said. We would be

1013
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:46.880
looking at that pharisee going, you've got to be saved

1014
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:50.039
because your work's proved that you're saved. You fast, you

1015
01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:53.920
give money, you're not an adulterer, you're not an extortioner, You're.

1016
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:55.039
Not like this other center.

1017
01:04:55.320 --> 01:04:58.719
You are the saved one, because Lordship Salvation says your

1018
01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:02.599
works prove it. And then what would what would Lordship

1019
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:05.960
Salvation say to this guy? And then the publicans standing

1020
01:05:06.039 --> 01:05:08.679
far off would not even lift up so much his

1021
01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:12.960
eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God

1022
01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:17.679
be merciful to me a sinner. He doesn't even he

1023
01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:19.480
doesn't even go into what all of his sins are.

1024
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:22.440
He's just like, Hey, I know, I'm a sinner. I'm

1025
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:23.599
not I'm not worthy of anything.

1026
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:24.159
Have mercy.

1027
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:28.719
All I can do is ask for mercy. And guess

1028
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:31.119
what when you when you cry out to God for mercy,

1029
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:33.559
and by faith you believe in what Christ has done,

1030
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:35.960
his righteousness is imputed to you. But guess what. You

1031
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:42.880
still are a sinner, and you will continue to be

1032
01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:47.239
a sinner, and you will continue to sin, and even

1033
01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:51.559
your so called good works are corrupted by sin.

1034
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:57.440
And how does the story end?

1035
01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.119
I tell you this man went down which man, and

1036
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.280
the publican the sinner? He went down to his house

1037
01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:07.320
justified rather than the other. For everyone that exalted himself

1038
01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:10.079
shall be a based, and he that humbleth himself shall

1039
01:06:10.159 --> 01:06:18.440
be exalted as Luke eighteen nine through fourteen. Now, some

1040
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:19.880
people may just see this as.

1041
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:23.079
Oh, well, you just don't like lordship salvation. Now this

1042
01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:25.679
is about you're missing the whole point.

1043
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:27.800
If your criticism of this is you just don't like

1044
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:29.599
lordship salvation and who cares?

1045
01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:30.920
I would rather do something else.

1046
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.119
Well, you can criticize it, but here's the reality. This

1047
01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:38.920
is about imputed righteousness versus infused righteousness. This is the

1048
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.840
literally the whole thing the Reformation was about. This is

1049
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:46.519
the reason you're not a Catholic. This is the heart

1050
01:06:46.639 --> 01:06:50.000
of what you claim to believe. You should be greatly

1051
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:53.480
interested in it. And what should really fascinate you is

1052
01:06:53.559 --> 01:06:57.880
that we now have entered into a era where artificial

1053
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:02.760
intelligence can literally challenge a philological system and point out

1054
01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:09.079
it's inconsistency, it's logical fallacies, how it's incompatible with a like, hey,

1055
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:11.400
if you hold a lordship, well you can't hold to

1056
01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:15.679
imputed righteousness because they're incompatible. AI can point that out.

1057
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:18.559
Never in the ten done before it would just be.

1058
01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:19.679
People pointing it out.

1059
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:22.639
Now you have artificial intelligence going, oh, you know, it

1060
01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:25.639
doesn't really work. Now it's that gonna How does that

1061
01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:27.840
impact the church and theology moving forward?

1062
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:29.440
I don't know. I don't think people care.

1063
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:31.920
People won't care that AI disagrees with them. They don't

1064
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:33.000
care because.

1065
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:35.000
They think they're smarter than everything. They think they're smarter

1066
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:35.679
than other people.

1067
01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:37.960
They think they're smarter than pastors, they think they're smarter

1068
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:41.280
than theologians. They think they're basically God, so they won't

1069
01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:43.159
care what Ai has to say. But I think we

1070
01:07:43.199 --> 01:07:45.679
should pause when Ais like, hmmm, I don't know if

1071
01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:50.000
that actually works. I think there's a problem there, just

1072
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:52.159
like we did in the first hour where Ai was like,

1073
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:55.840
I think there's a problem with Isaiah forty eleven in baptism.

1074
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:03.960
That's what we have to That's what we need to

1075
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.159
take from this is that.

1076
01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:06.920
We've entered in it.

1077
01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:09.280
Theologically, we've entered into a new era.

1078
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:10.119
That's number one.

1079
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:13.760
Number two, we have ahiological system that has completely infiltrated

1080
01:08:13.800 --> 01:08:17.920
all of Christianity, that completely denies what our entire theological

1081
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:20.399
system is supposed to be about, which is imputed righteousness

1082
01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:27.800
that doesn't bother you. And why is it that we

1083
01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:31.640
have such a law based mentality, because that's our natural

1084
01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:36.760
way of thinking, because grace is we don't get it. Wait,

1085
01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:39.960
a person can just be declared righteous and still be

1086
01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:44.720
a sinner. That seems not right. You got to do something.

1087
01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:48.279
No, I don't have to do anything, since Christ did everything.

1088
01:08:50.039 --> 01:08:55.359
You can't say that, Well, then believe it infused righteousness,

1089
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:58.439
and then I'm all with you, all right, we'll start

1090
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:05.800
it there twenty six. We went sixty nine minutes. We

1091
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:08.000
had to do a lot more review than I typically wanted.

1092
01:09:08.039 --> 01:09:10.399
I wanted to just move right on to part two.

1093
01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:13.199
But yeah, this was the only choice really to do

1094
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:16.560
Isaiah forty would have just been it had just messed

1095
01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:19.239
up the whole everything that we're doing. So hopefully next

1096
01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:22.119
Sunday Isaiah forty nine to eleven. But we did cover

1097
01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:24.159
We did cover Isaiah forty nine through eleven in the

1098
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:27.279
first hour. So really you've gotten hours two, You've got

1099
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:29.199
almost two and a half hours of teaching today, and

1100
01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:32.239
you have the stuff we did yesterday I think, which

1101
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:34.359
was two hours two and a half hours yesterday. So

1102
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:37.800
it's about five six hours of content and two days.

1103
01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:42.199
So thanks for listening, and well we'll do more. Talk

1104
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:44.960
about basically what AI has done.

1105
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:47.359
It's basically written a book.

1106
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:50.079
Really, I've just basically asked it to create a book

1107
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:54.039
on the problems with lordship salvation according to AI, and

1108
01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:57.479
it basically I've got an entire book here. I'm still edited,

1109
01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:00.479
I'm still asking it to edit and change somet but

1110
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:03.239
when it's all said and done, I'm basically going to

1111
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:06.119
have a full blown book on all the problems with

1112
01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:09.960
lordship salvation according to artificial intelligence, and then I'm going

1113
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:11.680
to probably try to put it in a PDF file

1114
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:13.319
and then I'll try to make it available to everyone.

1115
01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:19.880
And AI is helping put it together, which is crazy.

1116
01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:22.720
All right, Thanks for listening everyone, Have a great day.

1117
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:25.000
God bless
