John 3:16-18 summarizes the Essential elements of the gospel: 1. Everyone is a sinner, deserving of judgment (i.e. Hell). 2. Every sinner needs a Savior to save them from judgment 3. That Savior is Jesus ONLY. 4. Jesus saves ALL who believe on His Name. 5. To believe on Jesus' name means: (a) to believe who he is: the Messiah - the only begotten Son of God (b) to believe what he did: died, was buried, and rose again to forgive the sins of all who repent of their sins 6. Repentance and believing on the name of Jesus are tied together (one even): (a) It is impossible to believe in Jesus and not repent. (b) It is impossible to repent and not believe in Jesus.

Regarding "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"... Psalm 22 is CLEARLY messianic. In addition to what is said in the video, I think that Jesus is declaring that He, by his suffering and rejection, is fulfilling this Messianic Psalm.

On the topic of women TEACHING MEN in the Church, the most notable Scripture is 1 Timothy 2:12-14 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." What I observe from the text: 1. Paul sees teaching someone as exerting authority over the one being taught (v. 12). Makes sense. The teacher is, without exception, greater than the student, at least when it comes to what is being taught (presumably doctrine in this case). 2. Paul uses his Apostolic authority to say that HE does not permit women to teach men. We should we respect his Apostolic authority as Scripture. 3. Paul cites 2 Scripture sources for his prohibition: (a) Creation order. Creation order (Adam then Eve) established the order of authority between men and women (v.13). A woman teaching Scripture to a man inverts this authority, and Paul does not permit it. (b) Deceit at the fall. Adam was not deceived. Eve was. Paul seems to be implying that the teacher of the Word of God needs to be someone who is not easily deceived. Again, makes sense. When it comes to teaching the Word of God, do you want someone who was deceived, or someone who was not? 4. "Teaching" may not be the same as "preaching", but how can one preach and not teach? Or how can one preach and not be in a position of authority (at least doctrinally) over the ones to whom they preach? Hence, 1 Tim. 2:12-14 clearly prohibits women from teaching or preaching to men. By inference, it prohibits women from exerting ANY form of ecclesiastical authority over men.

The TOUGH question of the impeccability of Christ is: If there was no possibility for Christ to sin (i.e. He's God, therefore, He cannot sin), then how could He be tempted? Is temptation without the possibility of yielding to temptation truly temptation? I think the only answer we can come to is that, just like His dual nature (fully God and fully man), both are true: YES Jesus' temptations were REAL temptations. YES, it was impossible for Jesus to yield to temptation (i.e. sin). Both Jesus' dual nature (fully God/fully man) and his impeccability/temptability are inexplicable qualities of an infinite God.

Dr. Mohler, thank you for the teaching. I pray they will keep coming for a long time, so please reconsider drinking coke as it's probably not the healthiest of beverages.
