Your Questions, Honest Answers: - December 4, 2019

WILL I GO TO HELL IF I HAVE SEX WITH HIM AND/OR LIVE WITH HIM UNMARRIED? I WANTED TO COMMENT ON YOUR OPIOID PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERFULLY COVERING. I THINK THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH PASTORS. HOW DO WE HELP THEM? Read Transcript


- Welcome back.

I hope you're ready for some great answers

to some pretty cool questions.

Let's start with Janae.

She says, "Please explainthe unforgivable sin.

I can't fall asleep.

I'm mad because I've been sinning a lot,

and I want forgiveness.

I've been meditating onGod's Word and music,

but something keeps tellingme there's no hope for me,

God hates me, and Jesus is a liar.

Please help me, I'm only 14."

- You know,

when I came to the Lord,

I was on a retreat,

and I was asleep, and it came to me

that I had committed the unpardonable sin,

and this awful thought came,

that I, all the stuff,

that I've never given my life to the Lord,

it's all a lie.

I mean, it really is a terrible feeling.

And when I get though, I said,

"All right, Satan,

if I'm going to Hell,

I'm going there praising God,

because I believe in Jesus.

He's my Savior,

and if I have to go to Hell,

I'll still be praising Jesus.

And that was the answer that he wanted,

and that defeated the Satan.

You know, the unpardonable sin,

the only unpardonable sin

is failing to recognize Jesus as Savior.

That's what's unpardonable,

because there is no salvation in anybody,

except Jesus.

So, if you turn your back on Jesus,

but it's not of the question

you've been committing adultery,

you've been doing any of this stuff,

or had an abortion, or whatever.

None of those things are unpardonable.

The only thing unpardonable is that

you don't come to the source of salvation.

Okay?

All right?

- Great answer.

All right, Joan says,

"The Book of Revelationsays that when God returns,

He will call you tocome up from the grave.

This is confusing as we are told

that you go to Heaven when you die,

so you would not be in the grave,

just your remains.

Is this why they say,'May you rest in peace,'

that you and your soul are in the grave?

I think about this everydayas I'm getting older."

- All right, well, I'm getting older too.

Let me tell you.

We have a body,

we have a spirit,

and the body and spirit come together

in what's called our neficious soul.

Now, when you die,

your body goes into the ground,

and dust you are, anddust will you return,

but the spirit goes to be with the Lord,

or it's going to go to

a place of, you know,

torment, called Hades.

So, that's the way it is.

And so, at the Resurrection,

the bodies are gonna come back,

and we will have a resurrected body,

and those who are,

know the Lord, the spirit will return,

and be reunited with a resurrection body,

just like Jesus had a new body.

But those who are in Hellwill also have a body,

but it'll be in tormentfor the rest of eternity.

So that's...

Is that the answer to her?

- To be absent from the body

is to be present with the Lord.

- Well, that's what Paul said.

To be absent from the bodyis present with the Lord.

So, you know, "I'm a straitbetwixt two", Paul said.

There's no intermediateground, no, you know.

- Purgatory.

- Purgatory.

You're either with theLord, or you're not.

So, all right, next question.

- Amen.

Rae says, "I have a new boyfriend,

who wants me to live with him.

I've already had sex in my lifetime,

so will I go to Hellif I have sex with him,

and/or live with him unmarried?"

- Sweetie, let me tell you,

Hell isn't dependent on your sex life.

It really isn't,

but the truth is, it's a sin,

and, you know,

you will not achieve Heaven.

The Bible says, there'sseveral classes of people

who will not go to Heaven,

and fornicators are among them.

So,

I know your body

wants to unite

in a relationship,

and today is the no problem.

You know, according to themoral rays of the prism,

but the Lord says, don't do it,

and if you're asking me a question,

the answer is, don't do it.

If your boyfriend loves you,

then he'll want to getmarried and make it legal,

and if he doesn't thenleave him alone, okay?

- Good answer.

Good advice.

All right, Anita writes in,

"Hello.

I wanted to comment on your opioid program

that you've been wonderfully covering.

As far as the church is concerned,

I actually know personally pastors

who are strung out on opioids,

and they will not step down,

as they don't believe it's a problem.

I had one pastor get madat me for saying something.

I think this is a hugeproblem with pastors,

and how do we help them?"

- Well, I think you'd help

the way you'd help any other addict.

You see this old opioid thing.

I mean, Oxycontin and Oxycodoneare given as painkillers,

and people start taking them,

and the withdrawal from them

is really more difficult than withdrawing

from heroin or cocaine orany of those hard drugs.

So, somebody, you saythey're hooked on opioids,

it's a terrible addiction,

and it's been put upon people

by people like the Sacklers,

and others who have beenpushing these painkillers,

and so, pastors,

everybody,

I mean, take 'em and...

They need help.

It's a very difficult of a withdrawal.
