Thank you Dr. Ferguson for this Message.
Some of the greatest preachers and theologians came from Scotland 🏴
Dr. Ferguson is a first-rate theologian.
I applauded at home alone. Wonderful historical theological discourse on the grace of our God.
Greatest interpreter of the scriptures. Has helped me to grow in Christ.
The greatest interpreter of Scripture is Scripture itself. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 10:35; 2 Peter 1:19-21.
@@ThomasCranmer1959I think that was implied, I doubt the OP wasn’t insinuating he was better than God. But if it needs to be spelled out, than it can be rephrased as Ferguson is the greatest at using scripture to interpret scripture.
@@judgedredd31 Ferguson is hopelessly contradictory.
Wonderful. Reminded of the words of the father in the prodigal son "all that I have is yours". Great truth.
Such comfort I have received from the message! I will read the Whole Christ for sure~
Mr. Ferguson is a fine preacher...as Martyn Lloyd-Jones & Albert N.Martin (all 3 so similar in ways) they never waste a word, they make the bible so clear, they never avoid the hard passages either...and we can,we may, hear/see them in 1,000's of sermons right here on CZcams, thebest thing I found on a pc.
Lloyd-Jones is the best of the bunch yet even he erred in continuationism, common grace and the free offer of the Gospel.
@@ThomasCranmer1959I'm at the point of not arguing about continuism
Just make sure everything is edifying and it all lines up with Scripture
If you're gonna speak tongues it better be translated and it better line up with Scripture
And prophecy is forthtelling and must always be accurate Deuteronomy 18 standards
Not all are healed
At the end of the day, they'll give an account for how they use their gift
@@tomtemple69 Speaking gibberish edifies stupidity.
@tomtemple69 All preachers forthtell what the Scriptures say. It's called expository preaching. Predicting the future is not valid today. That's because the Bible has already been confirmed by the apostles and the sign gifts.
@@ThomasCranmer1959 that works for me too, I'm not gonna condemn someone if they're eager for the manifestation of the gifts, I just tell them it better follow Paul's guidelines
I lean more cessationist myself but I'd like to be gracious towards the continuist side of the aisle, and I will always call out the nonsense the charismatic movement comes up with that is extrabiblical
I could listen to this man preach about installing Linoleum Flooring.
😂😂😂
😂
Your book is fantastic!! Such a humbling book! Such an incredible presentation of the gospel!! I would recommend it to all Christians ministers!!!
wow!! God bless you Sinclair for unpacking God's word...all that the Father,Son & Holy Spirit have is ours
I love listening to him speak.
yes, me too - it's intelligent insightful exposition wrapped in velvety soft honey tones; quite mesmerising
Fantastic. I'm adding both books to my list.
James Caudill the whole Christ is very good book I'm almost done with it. Definitely pick it up!
I will look it up. Thanks, Gina!
Being a Celtic (Protestant) Christian is a pretty good gig.
Just read his book “The Trinitarian Devotion of John Owen”. Amazing book.
one of the best theologian of the world
AMAZING!
Amazing.
16:15 The highlight
Is this how you spell ‘waltz chandrix’ mentioned in the speaker’s msg? Thank you.
Romans 8:29-30New King James Version (NKJV)29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
When you can't get C.H. Spurgeon, Sinclair Ferguson would be the next best thing!
The question is phrased as an Arminian question. Only those who are effectually called are irresistibly drawn to Christ. Common grace and the free offer of the Gospel are both Arminian doctrines.
Most important test question:
Is it orthodox to teach; that you forsake sin in order to come to Christ?
The most important question is who is able to come to Christ?
Who is able to forsake sin?
@@ThomasCranmer1959OR the most important question can be: who did Christ save by dying on the cross?
Most Calvinists today are semi-Arminians who promote common grace as if it were a Calvinist doctrine.
Amen and Amen. How right you are.
Define common grace?
@@jgeph2.4 - Ordinarily Common grace means that God has a favorable attitude towards all men and offers all saving grace in Christ. So that It is available for everybody head for head and will become effective (particular) if one accepts it…
It is contradicted by many Scriptures and Biblical doctrines, but that doesn’t bother many of the Neo Reformed, because they reside to paradox as the ‘solution’ … But in stead of ‘making it fit’ they make Scripture divided in itself and attribute double, opposite wills to God...
@@DebtorToMercyAlone ok thank you yes I agree that’s heretical . I’ve been reading and listening to Meredith Kline who makes a distinction of common grace but it is not a saving grace as in the covenant of grace . It’s merely a benefit the non elect receive in this temporary state as final judgment is delayed as God accomplishes His redemption for all His elect .
@@jgeph2.4 - Yes its been attached to that as well; to sunshine and ‘the rain falls on the just and the unjust’ .. but that is not common grace, that is God’s providence. There’s nothing ‘common’ bout God’s grace… it is utterly uncommon, undeserved, particular & reserved for His people alone, paid for by His Son.
Three heretics watched this. Tell me how I know.
Robert Barnes lol the thumbs down of course
Six heretics now
@@renlamomtsopoe #noahgettheboat
The only heretics I see are those who support common grace and the free offer of the Gospel.
If Eve had not touched the tree she would not have picked the fruit nor would she have eaten the forbidden fruit. Did God really say do not eat from this tree? Antinomianism always questions God's moral law.
Is there an Hegelian dialectical relationship between the moral law and the gospel? OR is the law/gospel distinction part of the Gospel message as an integrated and harmonious system that covers the whole scope of Scripture? Secondly, why does Ferguson think there is an ability to believe the Gospel apart from an effectual call???? Answer? He does not really believe in total inability/total depravity. This is what happens when Calvinism adopts a doctrine of Arminianism called common grace.
absolute nonscence,and misrepresentation.Ferguson would uphold the necessity of the effectual call.But,and here is where we spot the hyper calvinist, Fergusone believes ,as the Marrow men did, in the free offer of the gospel to all,since we do not know who the elect are,and are called to preach the gospel to all without distinction.Common grace has nothing to do with not believeing in the effectual call of only the elect.All are may hear the outward preaching of the gospel, but the Holy Spirit only effectualy calls the elect through it.
@@neilgrobson58 Does God predestine that all receive the general call? Yes or no? Hint: Romans 10:14-17.
@@neilgrobson58 How can dead men answer the general call? Matthew 22:14.
@@neilgrobson58 The most important question is whether or not God absolutely predestines everything. If so then obviously the question of doing anything to be effectually called is a question only an Arminian would ask.
