Albert Mohler | Apologetics Series: "Jesus Is the Only Way to Heaven"

Albert Mohler continues his apologetics series, answering the question, "is Jesus the only way to Heaven?"

[@KingA-eh7ip]

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life

[@bryanbridges2987]

King A Amen. What other god could we even want?

[@roxanaroxelacofresi5759]

Amazing as usual! Dr Mohler is the smartest person among very few that I have met in my 34 years as a Protestant believer! It’s very sad that not many pastors can answer this question in this way. They say that people who don’t believe like they do are wrong and a bunch of other name calling because they feel guilty they can’t answer non Christians the way Mohler, Sproul, MacArthur, and Horton can and do publicly. The world has a high respect for these Godly men not because they offer a sweet Disneyland gospel but because they Preach boldly and always have a smart view of the Bible not just you can have a better life now gospel but that God is just, holy, & sovereign and we must fear Him for that alone! Our creator we are his baring image and it does matter how we live! Because we are his representatives here on earth 🌏

Thank you, Roxana, for mentioning Horton. I hadn't heard him before. Thanks to you, now I have. He's awesome! God bless you my Sister.

The Gospel tells us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear.

[@SY-jq4yw]

God is not only love, but also righteous. Sins need judgement in righteousness, the verdict is death, eternal separation from life of God. For God so love the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall never die, but has everlasting life.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

I love the way he mentions the wide way and narrow way. Yes it's true, the narrow way is summed up in the word only,. The broad way leads to destruction, the narrow way to eternal life. One shepherd, one prophet, priest and king. The psalmist said, Against you only have I sinned, that is God. God's way is simple, but is contrary to the way man thinks. He says, Come, let us reason together, what does this mean? Does it mean he wishes to come to a half way point? Certainly not! As he was in the beginning, so will he be in the end, Alpha and Omega, everlasting to everlasting, eternal, wow! How dare the creature, or the clay question the creator. It is a wonderful topic and needs to be grasped by the believer. Thank you brother Mohler, God continue to bless your ministry.

[@trishanoren2437]

When you are transformed from death to LIFE by the born again/John 3:3 experience, you are Rapture/HeavenBound!!! You receive Holy Spirit Who is our Seal for Kingdom Life and He teaches and guides us to live a holy life as we journey Home to Heaven!!! When you belong to Jesus, you POSSESS Eternal life and never doubt WHERE you’ll spend Eternity!!!! If you haven’t made your decision, do so today… Jesus is waiting!!!!!⚓️⚓️⚓️

[@elenamatso4281]

What happens with those who never heard about Jesus and died basically had no choice ?

[@nathans8178]

Elena Matso, Your point is often brought up. The Bible doesn’t say what their fate is for a very specific reason. But what the Bible DOES say is that God is Just and God is Good and God is fair. So whatever God declares as their fate is Just and Good and fair. One day we will know, when we ourselves stand before God, but since the Bible doesn’t tell us, trust God with it.

[@bobhutton1409]

It's the sovereignty of God. Every person who has been ordained to eternal life will hear the Gospel and be saved - Acts 13 v 48.

John 14:5-6 NASB Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" [6] Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Doubting God and His Holy Scripture is the beginning of sin! Genesis 3

[@nonameyet9165]

Everyone has doubts. God wants us to think. It is not a sin to doubt. But it may be a sin to let those doubts lead us away from the Lord and the bible.

[@mitchellc4]

The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

The neo-Ptolemic people. Dark age is on its way. People are bound to belief and that is all due to their afterlife fear. Is this sanity to say the only way referencing a book?

[@3Godisgreat3]

Repent and forsake your sins. Trust in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. There is coming a day when the Lord will judge the world in righteousness. Hell awaits all sinners INCLUDING lukewarm christians. Jesus says go and sin no more so if you loved him you would obey HIm

[@johnarriola9526]

Way to repetitious...confusing to listen to...doesn't sound like a sermon, more like a philosophy explanation...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@eunuchpetsu]

Bro What was repeated?

[@torahlove7693]

You don't need Jesus. God is more than sufficient

[@nathans8178]

TorahLove, actually, we need Jesus as a way of forgiveness. Without forgiveness we cannot be with God, so therefore Jesus is the only way to God.

[@bobhutton1409]

If you don't believe in Jesus Christ then you don't believe in God - 1st John 2 v 22-23.

[@torahlove7693]

​@@bobhutton1409 New Testament is not scripture, but is a hoax. NT Jesus is a false hope, a false messiah, who did not meet the criteria set by tanakh. Follow God, He has revealed in His torah that He alone is sovereign. God is the one source, not any of His host. God's torah never says to believe in the messiah, because when the messianic age comes it will be evident to all. Not a thing of belief. To believe NT is to not listen to God's will revealed in His Torah

[@torahlove7693]

@@nathans8178 misinterpretation of the Jewish tradition that "the suffering of the righteous is a form of atonement." Jewish sources are clear that this concept pertains only to the alleviation of Divine punishment that was decreed upon the Jewish people as a whole. It does not pertain to the removal of an individual's sin. Every person has the responsibility to repent directly to G-d for his own transgressions. (Ezekiel 18:20) False equivalence of ‘sinless’ and ‘righteous’. Many are called righteous even if they have sinned; there is no equivalence. Ecclesiastes 7:20 says that there is no one who is righteous who does not sin. From Ezekiel 18:21-23 we see that if one sinned and repented, they are considered righteous again. So to be righteous does not mean one has never sinned; only that one has repented of it. Eze 14:14 Dan is righteous during time without a temple or sacrifice. Proves you don't need NT Jesus. Even when Israel is impure, the Divine Presence dwells among them. Lev 16:16 He shall do likewise to the Tent of Meeting, which dwells with them amidst their defilements. Rashi Although they are unclean, the Divine Presence is among them. - [Torath Kohanim 16:43; Yoma 56b] Keeping the mitzvos is preferred above sacrifices. Sacrifice is a secondary backup. Not the original will. God does not need sacrifice to forgive sins. God is not like an angry volcano idol that needs to be appeased by human sacrifice, or bribed like a mafia don That is not at all what the korban are about. God is self sufficient. God does not desire human sacrifice, and such sacrifice is not permitted anywhere in the Torah, for any purpose whatsoever. Jesus as a human sacrifice was never from God. Followers of NT Jesus are over focused on blood, but the prophets say, blood is not God's choicest way, obedience is. Sacrifice without repentance is not accepted, but repentance without sacrifice can be accepted. There is no sacrifice for most willful sins, but God says a sacrifice of repentant words of prayer can be accepted by Him to even rectify willful sin. Hosea 14:3 Take words with yourselves and return to the Lord. Say, You shall forgive all iniquity. the word iniquity is a translation of the hebrew avon which is an intentional sin. followers a jESAUs have a false hope idol, who cannot save them from their own sins. greek testament contradicts torah.

[@ianmcdonald8648]

In the Torah, God required "clean" animal sacrifices of pure, spotless - animals, doves, heifers, lambs, goats, whose blood was shed for atonement of sins. These sacrifices were required daily, from all guilty people as often as as sin was uncovered. These animals were used in burnt offerings, peace offerings, sins offerings etc. How do you atone for your sins if you are a true follower of the Torah as given by Moses? God expressly required that these sacrifices were to be kept throughout all your (Hebrew) generations; Lev.3:17; 7:36; 17:7. Leviticus 4 details the sin offering. Unless blood was shed, no pardon would be gained from God. So, what do you do about your own sins according to the Torah (not the rabbis)? According to the Torah, you stand guilty before God. how can God be pleased with you as long as you offer no sin offering for your sins? Deuteronomy 31:16 - "And Hashem said to Moses, Behold you shall sleep with your fathers, and this peopleshall rise up and go lusting after the gods of the strangers of the land into which they are going, and shall forsake Me, and shall break My covenant which I made with it.....For I know their imaginations which they are making TODAY, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn." Deut.31:16, 21. "Behold the days come, says Hashem,, that I will cut a NEW covenant with the House of Israel, AND with the House of Judah, NOT according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them out of the land of Egypt - which covenant OF MINE they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Hashem, BUT THIS SHALL BE THE COVENANT THAT I WILL CUT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL:..." Jeremiah 31:31-33. When God says NEW, it means that the 'first' one which they broke is to be removed. What is that NEW covenant which God promised? It is the one He established through the Son of His eternal love, the Messiah of Genesis 3:15 who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:10 (from the House of Judah) who was the Messiah of Genesis 49:18, and was the Messiah and King of Psalm 2:6-12, who was spoken of by the prophet as the suffering one, also in Isaiah 53. He is the coming Shepherd of Israel in Psalm 23. The Son of man spoken of by Daniel The Messenger coming to His temple in Malachi. The Ruler in Israel even from eternity spoken of by Micah, who would come out of Bethlehem Ephratah...who shall be peace. Micah 5

There is no evidence at all of a Heaven none zip zilch nor hell nor angles nor God nor Jesus all con jobs

[@alexanderw.1003]

@No Left Turns Heaven and hell are real. The Scripture says it clearly. Especially Jesus spoke very often about hell. If you don't believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are going to spend an eternity in hell. Simple as that.

[@basilfoster5245]

No Left Turns Can you support your assertions with hard, irrefutable evidence? At one time there was no evidence of the existence of the Americas to those in Europe. Does that mean they didn't exist?

[@basilfoster5245]

By the way, you are evidence that YHWH, the only true and living God, is.

[@tedbull97]

No Left Turns agreed.

[@TheNewports]

The evidence of God's existence is all around us. Let's assume for a moment it is not the God of the Bible. Let's assume for a moment it is just a god of some type or fashion. Because there is a universe, because there is an earth, because there is an objective moral standard is evidence enough that there is a god. To me two points that destroy the big bang/ evolutionists point of view are: 1) If you say everything came from nothing you are actually making or giving nothing form or function. Your words make the nothing into something. 2) As I recall there is a scientific law that says matter cannot be created nor destroyed. This is not to say anything of the fact that we assume all things have continued in times past as they are today. For example we assume that things decay at a rate of X, and they have always decayed at this same rate. There is absolutely no way validate that. We were not there at the time of creation of that element to see if it's rate of decay is the same today as it was when it was created. How do we not know that when it was created it came into existence by the Words of God and when it was created it was created at a certain stage of decay set forth in God's perfect timing.
