The Parable of the Barren Fig (Luke 13:6-9) - A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

[@JennyT2023]

There is another parable like this. The parable of the talents. Teaching We are to serve God and try and bring people into The Kingdom of God.

I think of this parable every time I tend to a new plant. I repot it in its proper soil, prune it in season, water it accordingly, place it in an area suitable to its variety, wipe its leaves of dust, check it for bugs or flies, and even talk to it 😊...and I wait. If after all that, it starts to show deterioration, yet there is even one green shoot - no matter how insignificant - I will invest a little more time and energy into it with the hope it will once more flourish. However, if it withers away, and dies...well, I did all I would -- it simply didn't "take". But, with God, there are NO Christians who are truly His, who don't "take" under His loving care. And, if there are...well...they never were truly His.

I cannot respect anyone who teaches that God has predestined many for Hell before they take their first breath.

[@rhondae8222]

Then, why are you here? If you reject the Word of God, you're going to hell.

Dan... its in the Bible. So yes, many are.

@@fullgallupfarms Sola scriptura is heresy. Sacred tradition is the foundation.

[@lilCaribbean77]

I believe this means that (God) already knows what your choice" will be. Keep in mind He knows everything, from the beginning to the end...

[@EvieBear236]

He is just teaching what the Bible says. He's not expressing his own opinion.

In today's times, people watch videos a lot. They have to have stimuli to keep their attention. It doesn't matter if we agree with that is how it is it is just that way. Having said that they must be a video that keeps them attentive. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that something to watch while listing. You loaded the video to get people saved and encourage Christians right? So put something like whiteboard or something to keep them while they listen. Or not and have them not watch all the way. It's up to you .

Like John Gerstner, R.C. mischaracterizes dispensational theology. He also over exaggerates Campus Crusade's "carnal Christian" which was a reference to a true Christian who backslides into sin. NOT a true believer who lives as he once did prior to "conversion." That is impossible. But Christians DO backslide and wrestle with sin, wrestle with it like the never did prior to conversion. Classical dispensational theology NEVER taught that a true believer, after conversion, could live a life in constant ungodliness.
