Hello everybody, I'm back with another video in the series defending the new IFB against
the slanderous attacks by many adversaries.
And in this video I want to talk about probably one of the most controversial things that
people don't like, that's the reprobate doctrine.
And there's a few other related subjects I'm going to talk about in the next few videos.
But before I get into the subject matter of this video, I want to give a disclaimer that
I probably should have given at the beginning of previous videos.
And that is that this series is for people who genuinely want to learn, actually want
to know what we believe, why we believe it, people who want to learn what the Bible says
about these certain subjects, and for people who might have been brainwashed by the media
and by false accusers and railers online who might have heard about, you know, Faithful
War Baptist Church or Steadfast Baptist Church or other new IFB churches and actually want
to know what we believe and why we believe it.
This video and this video series is not for people who are set in their mind that we're
wrong and who will never accept what the truth is and who will just continuously hate us
and attack us and, you know, be trolls and just constantly harass us, who have no interest
in actually learning the truth.
The reason why I bring this up is because so far in this series, which I've been making
over the last couple of weeks, people have been uploading videos where, I'm sorry, uploading
comments on my videos, attacking things that are literally mentioned in the video, right?
Where I'll literally explain something in the video and then somebody will make a comment
and they'll be like, well, what about this verse?
It's like, I literally talked about that verse in the video.
Which shows that the people who are commenting don't actually watch the video.
They just see the title and they just assume that they're right and I'm wrong and so they
just comment that comment.
I have no time for these trolls and these people who are just going to argue and just
don't care what the truth says.
So if that's you, if you don't want to learn and you're not going to actually have the
time to listen and hear out what I have to say, then just get off my channel and don't
watch my videos.
If you post a comment that has something to do with something in the video that is not
a genuine question, if it is making an argument that I already debunked or refuted in the
video or something like that and I literally talked about it in the video and you still
just posted it anyway, then I'm just going to delete the comment and block you from my
channel.
Because I don't have time to argue with people, especially about things that I literally already
talked about.
So this is for people who genuinely want to learn.
There's a lot of trolls out there, there's a lot of people who literally their whole
life is just about attacking the new IFB and I don't have time for these people.
These people are often times just blinded.
These people often times aren't even Christians, they're just reprobates who just hate God
and just hate the truth and hate the Bible and just going to deny the Bible continuously.
So just stop wasting your time because you're not going to change my mind and if I'm not
going to change your mind, why are you even on my channel?
Just stop wasting your time.
Get off my channel.
I have no time for you.
So hopefully this disclaimer has helped.
Again, if you post a comment that has something to do with something in this video where I
explain what the reprobate doctrine is and you're like, well, I don't think that's right
because X, Y, and Z and it's something I talked about, then I will delete that comment
because I literally talked about it in the video.
Why are you arguing?
So anyway, getting into the subject of the reprobate doctrine and explaining what that
is before I go into the actual verses from the Bible, I want to explain what it is that
we believe because there are a lot of liars and a lot of false accusers who will say we
believe one thing and it's not what we believe and it's not what I have taught on my channel.
It's not what Pastor Anderson has taught.
It's not what any new I be pastor has taught.
But people are liars.
They refuse to understand what we believe and so they'll make up a straw man and attack
a straw man.
This is what I hear constantly from people who don't believe the reprobate doctrine.
They say that we don't believe that Jesus died for everybody's sins or that he didn't
die for all sins.
That's what they accuse us of believing.
This is false and if you say that and if you continue to say that after watching this video,
you are a liar and a deceiver.
Here's what the reprobate doctrine is.
Here's what I believe, here's what my church believes, what my pastor believes, what all
new IFB people believe and is believed by millions of Baptists all over the world and
also was believed even before the new IFB came around because this is not a new doctrine.
It's literally in the Bible.
This is what we believe.
That Jesus, when he died on the cross, died for the sins of the entire world.
That means everybody from the Garden of Eden to the end of time, Jesus died for every single
person who has ever lived and he died for each individual's sins.
No matter how bad the sin is, Jesus died for every sin.
This is what the Bible teaches, that the blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanses us from
all sin.
He died for all sins, past, present and future, big sins, small sins, all kinds of sins Jesus
died for when he died on the cross.
This is what we believe.
We are not Calvinists.
We believe that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.
He died for everybody.
He died for all types of sins.
However, the Bible teaches that just because Jesus died for everybody does not mean everybody's
going to heaven and I think everybody who's not a universalist, which is the majority
of Christians out there, would agree with this fact, that most people are going to hell.
The Bible says, broad is the way that leadeth unto destruction and many there be which go
in thereat and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it.
That is because there is a condition to salvation and that condition is faith.
Somebody has to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved from hell.
So not everybody in the world is going to go to heaven.
Only those who believe in Jesus Christ will go to heaven.
Now again, something that everybody will agree with, that when somebody dies, it's too late.
They're already judged.
They go to hell as soon as they die if they have not believed in Jesus Christ.
So what the reprobate doctrine is, is that for some people, it's too late before they
physically die.
That some people, because of their rejection of the gospel, because they hate God, because
they have rejected the truth, God has blinded their mind so that they cannot believe.
What we believe is that there are certain people out there who God has blinded so that
it is impossible for them to believe and therefore cannot get saved.
That does not mean Jesus did not die for their sins.
He did, but the reason why they will never be forgiven is not because of their sins,
but because of the fact that they are reprobates, meaning they cannot believe.
Because you have to believe in order to be saved and according to the Bible, certain
people cannot believe.
And that's what I'm going to be talking about in this video and proving this from the Bible.
Now the part where the reprobate doctrine becomes controversial is when we say that
sodomites are reprobates.
And people will attack us for that and say, you're saying that gays can't be saved or
that sodomy can't be saved.
Again, sodomy was a sin that Jesus died for because Jesus died for all sins.
If hypothetically, let's say where possible and I'm going to show that it's not, if hypothetically
a sodomite were to believe in Jesus Christ, then they would be saved.
As everybody who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved.
It is not an issue of certain sins will not be forgiven, except for the blasphemy of the
Holy Ghost, which is the only ever unforgivable sin.
But it's a matter of the only reason why people are this way of being a sodomite and being
given over to these abominations and a reprobate mind is because of the fact that they have
already rejected God.
And so let me explain this from the Bible.
So if you say that the reprobate doctrine is anything else than what I just said, you're
a liar.
If you say we believe that Jesus didn't die for all sins, you're a liar.
So first of all, let's look at the word reprobate in the Bible to show what it means because
the Bible does use this word several times.
It is a biblical concept, but let's let the Bible define itself because people will come
up with their own definition of reprobate that's not biblical.
Well, the first time the word reprobate ever appears in the Bible is in Jeremiah 6 verse
30.
And it gives a very clear definition of what reprobate means.
Jeremiah 6 30 says, reprobate silver shall men call them because the Lord hath rejected
them.
So a reprobate is somebody who has been rejected by the Lord.
Simple definition, right?
Now let's go into more detail with some other scriptures.
Now typically, when talking about the reprobate doctrine, my pastor and other pastors will
start at Romans chapter 1, but I want to save Romans chapter 1 for a little bit later.
First I want to go into some other scriptures talking about reprobates, particularly 2 Timothy
chapter 3, which is one of the clearest passages that explains that reprobates are people who
resist the truth and who cannot be saved, okay?
The Bible does clearly teach that there are certain people who because of their rejection
of God have their minds blinded and it is impossible for them to believe.
So it says in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 1 to 8, this know also that in the last days
perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection,
true breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of
godliness but denying the power thereof, from such turn away.
Now just park it there real quick and then I'll read the following verses in a second.
You know these people who are against the reprobate doctrine, they want us to just be
accepting of everybody and say everybody has infinite chances.
But right here it says that these people who it's talking about in this chapter, it says
from such turn away.
So according to the Bible there are certain people we're supposed to turn away from.
If you don't believe that then you're saying the Bible's wrong.
It's not.
The Bible says there's people we should turn away from.
For of this sort, this is verse 6, are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly
women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
What is another word for never able?
Impossible.
Okay?
Now according to the Bible, these people who it's talking about, it is impossible, they're
never able, they can't come to the knowledge of the truth.
So can everybody be saved?
No.
I mean why is that hard to understand?
It literally talks about people who are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
You can teach them as much as you want about the Bible but they will never understand it.
They will never believe the truth.
Okay?
Why?
Verse 8.
Withstood Moses, so did these also resist the truth.
Men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
So who are we talking about?
We're talking about people who the Bible says are reprobate concerning the faith.
Now Jeremiah 6.30 defined reprobate as being rejected by the Lord.
So what is it saying?
It says they're rejected concerning the faith, right?
Notice how it also says they're of corrupt minds and they resist the truth, right?
Some of these people who will attack us for believing the reprobate doctrine, they will
try to change the definition of reprobate and say that that's everybody who is not saved.
Now if it's everybody that's not saved, then why does the Bible say to turn away from them?
If it was everybody that wasn't saved, then that means we'd have to turn away from every
unsaved person.
And also how could it say never able to come to the knowledge of the truth because unsaved
people can get saved.
And number three, why does it say they resist the truth?
Does every unsaved person resist the truth?
No.
The vast majority of unsaved people out there simply just don't know the truth.
They haven't heard the gospel.
And when we preach to them, they believe it and they get saved.
They're not resisting it.
So this is talking about particular people who have a corrupt mind, who are rejected
by God and who resist the truth.
Okay?
Let me show you more evidence of this.
Titus chapter 1 verses 15 to 16.
To the pure all things are pure, but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing
pure, but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient
and unto every good work reprobate.
So again, is this talking about every unsaved person?
Now it does say they're unbelieving, but it says they're defiled and unbelieving.
Not just a typical unbeliever.
It says their mind and their conscience is defiled.
It says they're abominable.
It says unto every good work they're reprobate, right?
So everything they do is an abomination to God.
It says they're disobedient.
It says nothing is pure to them.
It says their mind is defiled.
This is not just an ordinary unsaved person.
Let's look at some other scriptures about this.
Second Corinthians chapter 13.
This is something that some people will kind of use to try to teach that reprobates are
just every unsaved person, but we'll see that that's wrong in a second.
We already saw that that's wrong, but we'll see more evidence of this.
Second Corinthians 13 verses 5 to 7.
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.
Prove your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that ye
should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
So what is Paul saying here?
Well first of all he tells us that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates, right?
So is Jesus Christ in reprobates?
No.
And this also debugs this other doctrine, this other explanation for a reprobation that
people will come up with to say that saved people can become reprobates.
Okay, I've heard this before, that they just think like a reprobate is just somebody who
is saved but who is backslidden or something like that.
No, because the Bible says that Jesus Christ is not in reprobates because he says Jesus
Christ is in you except ye be reprobates.
But then he says, I trust ye know that we're not reprobates, right?
Meaning saved people are not reprobates because reprobates can never come to the knowledge
of the truth according to the Bible, right?
Now Romans chapter 1, I want to get into this, and this explains very clearly in much more
detail who it is that becomes a reprobate and what the order of how somebody becomes
a reprobate is.
Because remember, people who don't believe this doctrine, who deny this, they oftentimes
will try to explain it away as just every unsaved person is a reprobate, right?
That's what some people say.
Now we already saw that the Bible says from these people who are reprobates that they
resist the truth, that it tells us to turn away from them, that they're never able to
come to the knowledge of the truth, and we see very similar language spoken in Romans
chapter 1.
Romans chapter 1 is a very clear scripture on this, and I'm going to read it and break
it down so it's easy to understand.
Verse 18, For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, because that which may be known of God is
manifest in them, for God hath showed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without
excuse, because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful
but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened, professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like a corruptible man into birds and four-footed beasts and
creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor
their own bodies between themselves, who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped
and served the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever in it.
Now I'm going to stop right there, and we're going to look at some of these verses.
I mean, even just the first pairing of these verses, you can kind of see that this is not
just talking about every unsaved person, because it literally tells us that these are people
who knew the truth.
It says, thou which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath showed it unto
them.
Right?
It says they knew God, but they glorified him not as God.
So this is not people who are just ignorant, this is people who know the truth, but who
reject it.
It says that they changed the glory of the uncrippable God into an image, right?
It says they changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator who is blessed forever, amen.
So this is not just an ordinary, unsaved person.
This is somebody who knows the true God, who has heard about God, God has been revealed
unto them, and they don't want to glorify him as God.
They don't want to be thankful towards him.
They reject him, and they change that truth, which has been revealed to them, into a lie.
That's what reprobates are.
This is how somebody becomes a reprobate.
It doesn't say that these are just people who are ignorant, and who just don't know
any better.
No, this is people who know the truth, and who change the truth into a lie, okay?
So like architects of false religion, because as we'll see later, according to 2 Peter chapter
2, false prophets, which knew the truth, but who changed the truth, false prophets are
reprobates and they're damned to hell and they have no hope of salvation, okay?
That's one example of somebody who is a reprobate, okay?
So again, these are not just ordinary, unsafe people.
These are people who know the truth, and who change the truth into a lie, and who reject
the truth, okay?
Now, it gives us more information in the following verses, and it also shows us that this is
how somebody becomes a sodomite, okay?
And this is where the sodomy thing comes in, in regards to the reprobates, right?
Verse 26, for this cause, right?
So what cause?
What it would just mention, that they change the truth of God into a lie.
God gave them up unto vile affections.
For even their women to change the natural use into that which is against nature, and
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompense of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to
reprobate mine to do those things which are not convenient.
I'll stop right there again.
It clearly tells us, for the cause of that they knew God, but they glorified him not
as God, neither were thankful, became vain in their imaginations, their foolish heart
was darkened.
For the cause that they changed the truth of God into a lie, the Bible says God gave
them up unto vile affections.
And then it explains what these vile affections are, that men burned in their lust one toward
another.
So why is it that people are sodomites?
Okay, and if you don't know what a sodomite is, look it up.
I'm trying to refrain from certain words just so this video stays on YouTube.
Why are people sodomites?
Why are people, why are there men out there who lust after other men?
Because these people change the truth of God into a lie and worship and serve the creature
more than the Creator.
For that cause, the Bible says God gave them up unto vile affections.
God gave them over to reprobate mine.
Okay, to do those things which are not convenient, right?
So that means these people already had the truth, they rejected the truth, they changed
the truth, and then God gave them up to these wicked acts.
So that's why somebody is a sodomite in the first place.
It's not an ordinary sin.
It's not something that normal men born into this world have a lust to do.
And there's no evidence that there's such a thing as a gay gene or whatever.
Anybody who is a sodomite, they become a sodomite because they hate God and they reject God.
Not just because they're born that way and you can't find any evidence that they're born
that way.
This is not a temptation which is normal to normal people.
So why are there sodomites in this world?
Because they've rejected God and they changed the truth of God into a lie.
That's what the Bible says.
And it doesn't matter if you don't like that or you don't believe that, that's what the
Bible teaches.
So is this just talking about your average ordinary unsaved person?
No, because every unsaved person is not given over to vile affections and didn't change
the truth of God into a lie and doesn't like to retain God in their knowledge.
That's another thing.
They'll say, oh, reprobates can still be saved.
It says God, it says they didn't want to retain God in their knowledge.
How can somebody get saved if they don't even want to think about God?
You have to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved.
And they have to hear the gospel in order to believe, right?
As it talks about in Romans chapter 10, how shall they call on Him in whom they've not
believed and how shall they believe in Him in whom they've not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher, okay?
So how is somebody going to hear about Jesus and believe in Jesus if they don't even want
to think about Jesus?
If they don't even want to retain God in their knowledge?
If they change the truth of God into a lie?
Why is that hard to understand?
These people literally have rejected God.
They don't even want to think about God.
That's what the Bible says about who reprobates are.
Now not only that, but people will again twist the last few verses of Romans chapter 1 to
teach that, well, you've done some of the sins on this list, right?
It lists all these sins and they say, well, you've done some of these things, so therefore
every unsaved person is a reprobate.
It's just talking about people in general.
But it doesn't say that these reprobates are just doing some of these sins.
It says they're filled with all unrighteousness, okay?
So this is again something that people will just lie about and not believe that the Bible
literally says that these people who God gives over to a reprobate mind to do those things
which are not convenient, it says they are filled with all unrighteousness, okay?
These are not just your ordinary sinners.
These are not just people who are a little bit unrighteous.
It says they're filled with all unrighteousness, okay?
And it lists some of these things in this scripture.
All unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant
breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure
in them that do them.
Now, let me ask you a question.
If it says without natural affection, this is a perfect example to show that this isn't
a normal thing, okay?
What does natural mean?
Natural means something that comes by nature, okay?
So natural affection is affection that people naturally have.
The Bible says that reprobates don't have natural affection.
So is this talking about just every unsaved sinner in the world?
No, because it says that they don't even have natural affection.
They don't even have things that are normal that are natural.
It says that they hate God.
Ordinary unsaved people don't hate God.
Before I got saved, I didn't hate God.
I just didn't know the truth about God.
I feared the Lord, but I just didn't really know the gospel.
I didn't know how to be saved.
And that's the majority of people out there.
Even people who aren't even Christians, they don't hate God.
They don't hate the Bible all the time.
Obviously, a lot of people do.
These people are reprobates.
But people just ordinarily don't hate God.
They don't lack natural affection.
They don't invent evil things like the Bible says in verse 31 or verse 30.
They aren't filled with all unrighteousness, okay?
So this is not just your ordinary sinner.
These are people who the Bible says are filled with all these things.
And some of these things are not things that ordinary people do.
Again, ordinary people have natural affection.
That's why it's called natural affection.
Ordinary people don't hate God.
Most sodomites don't have that lust one toward another, okay?
The only reason why people are made this way is because God gave them over to reprobate
mine.
So this is what reprobates are.
And again, it's clearly there in Romans chapter 1.
You can believe it or you don't believe it.
I mean, it's in the Bible, right?
And the Bible says that they which commit such things are worthy of death.
But it says that they know this, right?
That they're not just ignorant of this again.
They know the truth.
They know that what they're doing is wrong.
They know that they deserve to go to hell.
And it tells us that they not only do it, but they have pleasure in them that do that,
right?
So this is not just people who again are just sinners, but they know that they're a sinner
and they feel guilty about it or whatever.
These are people who have pleasure in other people partaking in these abominations, okay?
So this is the kind of person that a sodomite is according to the Bible, okay?
They're filled with all unrighteousness.
They hate God.
They're back biters.
They're full of murder.
They're full of envy.
They're liars, deceivers.
It says they're without understanding.
It says they're covenant breakers.
It says they're implacable, meaning they can never be satisfied.
Again, can you say that about an ordinary, unsaved person that they can never be placated?
No.
These are people who are psychopaths.
These are people who are reprobates, who are rejected by God, okay?
So yes, the Bible does teach that there is a certain class of people which is worse than
others, right?
Now again, people who are liars and deceivers and who just hate us and hate this doctrine
and refuse to believe the Bible, they'll say, well you're saying that those sins can't
be forgiven because you're saying that those sins were not died for by Jesus on the cross
or paid for by Jesus on the cross, but I never said that.
Jesus died for all sins, okay?
If somebody were to commit any one of these individual sins on this list and they believed
in Jesus, they would be forgiven, okay?
The issue is not that these sins are unforgivable.
The issue is that the reason why people are reprobates is because they've already lost
their chance to be saved, okay?
And now I'm going to go into scriptures which clearly teach us that people in this world
do not have infinite chances to be saved, that there are people who lose their chance
to be forgiven because they are blinded by God, okay?
And if these are clear scriptures, if you just deny this, again you're denying the Bible.
Matthew chapter 12 verse 31 to 32, Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men.
And they say, see, look, Sodomites can be saved.
But the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men, and whosoever speaketh
the word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him.
But whoso speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this
world, neither in the world to come, okay?
So yes, Jesus did teach that all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven, but he
did also say that there is one sin which shall not be forgiven, and he repeats this
in Mark chapter 3.
I'm going to read this one and then I'm going to park it and talk about it a little bit.
Mark chapter 3 verses 28 to 29, Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto
the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewithsoever they shall blaspheme.
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger
of eternal damnation.
So Jesus clearly teaches that the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is an unforgivable sin.
Now again, he said all manner of sin and blasphemy, so they'll say well that means that sodomites
can be saved, okay?
Now an individual who is not a reprobate, hypothetically if they were to commit the
act of sodomy, and they believe in Jesus Christ, they would be saved, okay?
Because here's the thing.
The issue in Romans chapter 1 about the reprobates is that these people burn in their lust one
toward another, okay?
This is not just people who commit the sin of sodomy, these are people who actually have
the desire to do that.
Ordinary people do not have the desire to do that, but there are people who can still
do that and not burn in their lust one toward another.
Let me give you a few examples, okay?
And I know it's kind of a bad thing to think about, but this is just reality that there
are people out there who commit that abomination because of the love of money, right?
Growing up in public school, a phrase that I heard, and again this is wicked, I'm not
condoning it, I'm not saying it's right, but it's something I've heard many times growing
up in public school where people will say, I'm not gay, but $20 is $20, right?
What do they mean by that?
It means that they would do something filthy in order to get money.
Not because they actually have the desire to do that, but just because they're wicked
and they love money, right?
So I think there are people out there who could possibly commit that wicked thing and
not be an actual sodomite reprobate, but they're just doing it because of the love
of money.
There are also people who can do that under the influence of drugs, under the influence
of alcohol, right?
Because these things obviously mess with the mind and would cause people to do things that
they wouldn't normally do, right?
Obviously people can be taken advantage of.
And there's other such examples where people can commit that act, but not have a desire
in their heart or a lust in their heart towards other men, okay?
The mark of a reprobate, according to Romans chapter one, is that a man lusts against another
man, okay?
It's not saying that that actual act itself, which is a sin, cannot be forgiven because
all sins can be forgiven.
All men are a sin in blasphemy.
That's what the Bible says.
So if hypothetically somebody were to do that sin for whatever reason, whatever excuse they
have, and then later they believe in Jesus, yes, they would be saved and their sin would
be forgiven because all sin was paid for by Jesus and all believers in Jesus will go to
heaven.
This is a fact.
The reason why people who are sodomites will not be saved is because people who lust in
their heart one after another are only that way because they've already been rejected
by God because they blasphemed the Holy Ghost, okay?
Let me show you that the Bible clearly teaches that there are some people who can never believe,
right?
Because how is it possible that the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven
unto men, right?
Because again, by this logic of the people will say, oh, you're saying Jesus didn't die
for sodomites or something.
By accusing us of that, you would also have to say that Jesus didn't die for these Pharisees
who blasphemed the Holy Ghost.
Bible teaches he tasted death for every man, meaning he did die for them.
But the reason why he said that they're in danger of eternal damnation and they have
never forgiveness is not because they believed and their believing didn't count.
It's because they can't believe.
John chapter 12, this is talking particularly about those Jews, about those Pharisees who
rejected Jesus, but though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him.
That the saying of the prophet might be fulfilled which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our
report and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Therefore they could not believe.
So can everybody believe?
No.
Bible says these people, these Jews who rejected Jesus, could not believe.
Why?
Because as Isaiah said again, he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they
should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should
heal them.
Isaiah chapter 6 verses 9 to 11.
This is the quote from which John is quoting from.
And he said, go and tell this people, hear ye indeed but understand not and see ye indeed
but perceive not.
Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes lest
they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and convert
and be healed.
Then said I, Lord, how long?
And he answered, until the cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without
man and the land be utterly desolate.
So John quotes from this passage in the book of Isaiah as showing us that there are people
who God has shut their eyes, God has closed their ears so that they cannot believe, so
that they cannot be healed, so that they cannot be converted.
So yes, there are people in this world who it is impossible for them to believe and be
converted.
So what is a reprobate?
It is somebody like this who cannot believe, who cannot be saved.
Right?
You say, well, how do you know that sodomites are reprobates?
Because again, 2 Timothy chapter 3 says, ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth.
Right?
So that's what the Bible says about reprobates.
So that's what I believe.
I believe that reprobates can never come to the knowledge of the truth.
I believe that reprobates are given over to reprobate mind.
I believe that reprobates are somebody who doesn't want to retain God in their knowledge.
I believe that reprobates are people who change the truth of God to a lie and filled with
all unrighteousness because that's what the Bible says about reprobates.
And I believe we should turn away from them because that's what the Bible says, again
in 2 Timothy chapter 3.
So again, if you don't like that, then too bad.
Another clear scripture that teaches that there are certain people who God blinds so
that they cannot be saved is in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9.
Even him who is coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness and then that perish because they received
not the love of the truth that they might be saved.
So these people it's talking about, these people are not saved.
And for this cause, right, similar language as in Romans chapter 1, right, for this cause
that they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved, God shall
send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned
who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So according to the Bible, there are certain people who they did not love the truth, they
did not get saved and for that cause, what did God do to them?
God sent them strong delusion to believe a lie.
So again, God blinds the minds of certain people who did not get saved.
People who don't love the truth, who hate the truth, who do not get saved, according
to the Bible, God blinds them and sends them a delusion that they believe a lie.
Why?
That they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So how can you say that God gives infinite chances to everybody when the Bible literally
says that God literally sends delusion to people that they should believe a lie?
So there are people in this world and people in the end times, cause this is more what
it's talking about in the context of the mark of the beast, that there are people who
will be blinded so that it's impossible for them to be saved.
That they will certainly be damned.
The Bible also tells us very clearly that those who tamper with the word of God, who
remove words from the book of Revelation, will have their name blotted out of the book
of life.
Revelation chapter 22 verse 18.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if
any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written
this book.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and from the things which
are written in this book.
So according to the Bible, if you take words out of the book of this prophecy, God says
that your name will be blotted out of the book of life.
Now we know in Revelation chapter 3 that those who overcome, which means they believe in
Jesus, that their name shall not be blotted out of the book of life.
So this is talking about unsaved people.
Unsaved people who take words out of the Bible, the Bible says that their name is blotted
out.
What does that mean?
They lose their chance to be saved.
They're going to hell.
They're already damned.
Okay?
So yes, there are people on this earth who are still alive who it is impossible for them
to believe.
Oh, you're saying that Jesus didn't die for them.
No, he did die for them.
But just because Jesus died for them doesn't mean they're automatically going to heaven.
You have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven.
So if people don't believe, they're not saved.
Why is that so hard to understand for somebody who actually knows the gospel?
Unless you're a Calvinist, this shouldn't be hard to understand that Jesus dying for
somebody doesn't equal them being saved.
They have to actually believe in order for that to do anything for them.
And there are certain people who will not believe.
That's what the Bible says.
There are certain people who just, it's too late for them.
They'll never believe.
They're blinded.
God purposefully sends them to illusion so that they will be damned.
Okay?
So that's what a reprobate is.
And if you don't believe that, you don't believe the Bible because the Bible clearly tells
us that there are people who just will never be saved.
And Jude chapter one, I guess there's only one chapter, but Jude verses four to 13 tell
us more about who in particular are reprobates.
And it tells us about Sodomites, about false prophets in this chapter.
And it tells us that they're reserved for darkness forever.
And it gives a very clear description that these people can never be saved.
Now I'm almost done.
I only have a few more scriptures.
So Jude, starting at verse four, I'm going to read verse 13.
For there are certain men, crept and unawares, who are before of old, ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord
God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
So the Bible tells us that there are people who creep into churches and these people are
ordained to condemnation.
It says that they deny Jesus and they deny God.
And it says that they turn the grace of God to lasciviousness.
Okay?
It says, I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord,
having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed
not.
And the angels, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness under the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them and like man are giving themselves
over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example, suffering
the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also, these filthy dreamers.
Who is these filthy dreamers?
The people that he's talking about who are the ungodly men who turn the grace of God
into lasciviousness, who creep in unawares.
It calls them filthy.
It says they defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body
of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said the Lord rebuke thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not, but what they know naturally
is brute beasts and those things that corrupt themselves.
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the error of
Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Corey.
These are spots in your feast of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves
without fear, clouds that they are without water, carried about of winds, trees whose
fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, raging waves of the
sea, foaming out their own shame, wondering stars to whom is reserved the blackness of
darkness forever.
So the Bible warns us about these people who it calls filthy, who it says defile the flesh,
who deny the Lord God, who creep into churches.
It says that they are reserved to the blackness of darkness forever.
So there are certain people who were reserved to hell.
There are certain people for whom is too late, they are doomed, they are damned, there is
no hope for them.
This is what the Bible teaches.
Another example, Hebrews chapter 6, verses 4 to 8, for it is impossible for those who
were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of
the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come.
Notice how it keeps saying tasted, and they've experienced and they've tasted it, this shows
that they're not actually saved, but it's been revealed unto them, right?
It says in verse 6, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing
they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
So according to the Bible, the people who have the truth revealed unto them, and who
turn away from it, it says it is impossible for them to be renewed unto repentance.
So there are certain people who can never repent of their unbelief.
This is what the Bible teaches.
In other words, there are certain people who can never be saved.
Verse 7, for the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs, meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God, but that which
beareth thorns and briars is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned.
So these people, according to the Bible, they bear thorns and briars, which if you compare
with Matthew 7, Jesus talks about false prophets bringing forth thorns and thistles, etc.
And then it says that they're rejected, which is what reprobate means.
So it means these people are reprobates.
And it says that their end is to be burned.
So what does it mean?
It means people who know the truth, and who turn away from the truth, it is impossible
to renew them to repentance, but rather, these people are rejected, and they're going to
go to hell.
That's what the Bible teaches.
So reprobates are people who can never be saved.
Ever learning, never able to come to know the truth.
Therefore they could not believe, right?
They were reserved to the blackness of darkness forever, and God shall send them strong delusion
that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned, who believe not the truth
but had pleasure on righteousness.
So this is simply put what the reprobate doctrine is, okay?
People will attack us for this when it's literally in the Bible, again, it's in the Bible, stop
arguing about it, just believe it.
The Bible teaches that people who blaspheme the Holy Ghost cannot be saved.
People who take verses out of the Bible cannot be saved.
Their name is blotted out.
The Bible teaches that people who knew the truth and did not believe the truth and were
not saved, God eventually gives them over to reprobate mind, He blinds them, He gives
them a strong delusion that they believe a lie.
So you have to believe to be saved, so if there are people out there who cannot believe,
that means they can never be saved.
So that's simply what a reprobate is.
Yes, Jesus died for their sins, but you have to believe in order to receive forgiveness.
So people who rejected God, they are people who cannot be saved because they cannot believe
because God is blind in their minds.
And that's what sodomites are.
Sodomites wouldn't be sodomites if they didn't reject God.
The only reason why they're that way in the first place according to Romans chapter 1,
for this cause God gave them both to vile affection.
What cause?
They changed the truth of God into a lie.
The verse right before that, verse 25.
So again, this is clear.
Just believe the Bible, stop denying it.
So again, we're right, you're wrong, and again, as I said at the beginning of this video,
if you have an issue with something that I said and you think I'm wrong, then at least
bring up something relevant and something that I didn't already talk about in this video.
Because again, the Bible says people, God blind people, God condemns people to hell,
there's people who are reserved in the darkness.
You can't find a single verse in the Bible that says everybody has infinite chances to
be saved and that nobody can ever lose that chance when they're on this earth.
The Bible never says that anywhere.
So thank you everybody for watching, God bless you and goodbye.
