How Do We Know What We Know?: A Blueprint for Thinking with R.C. Sproul
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- If you took a comprehensive knowledge inventory of your mind, you would probably discover that you know more than you thought you knew. On the other hand, you would probably discover deficiencies in areas where you thought you had knowledge. Whatever your level of knowledge, how do you know what you know? In this message, Dr. Sproul explores this thought as he ventures into the world of epistemology to help us understand how the mind knows.
This is the 1st message in a series on Christian thinking by R.C. Sproul. See other videos in the series: • A Blueprint for Thinki...
I miss you R.C. I didn't appreciate you enough while you were here. Thankyou for doing so many videos and books. Praise God.
This is classic RC. The breath and depth of his knowledge as well as his ability to communicate his message is unparalleled. I thank God that his ministry lives on!

If you want the BIBLICAL TRUTH... God never intended
those living in the Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" to
understand the fulfillment of Bible prophecy occurring
AFTER the end of the Great Commission... just as God
never intended the Jews understand the fulfillment
of prophecy AFTER their separate-and-distinct
"Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 22:2]
---------------
The BIBLICAL fact is the history of mankind is
the REFLECTION of God's salvation plan over four
(temporal) "Kingdoms of Heaven" before the Lord
Returns to establish the (5th) Eternal "Kingdom"
-----------------
Mat 22:2... Jesus NAMED the (2nd) Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven".
Mat 13 (in 8 verses) Jesus NAMED the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven"
Mat 25:1 Jesus NAMED the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"
------------------
Keep in mind that these are all TEMPORAL "Kingdoms of Heaven"
(they each had their own unique Gospel) and they consisted of
BOTH the saved "wheat/sheep" and many unsaved "tares/goats"
sown by Satan, who remain "children of Satan" [Mat 13:24-30]
------------------
The (5th) Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" is specifically NAMED
by Jesus in Matthew chapters 5 and 7 and 8 and 19. This "Kingdom"
is DIFFERENT from all of the others Jesus specifically NAMED because
it contains NO TARES. The Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" contains ONLY
the saved "wheat/sheep" from EACH of the previous (temporal) "Kingdoms.
AND it contains Abraham and Isaac and Jacob [Mat 8:11] which obviously
were NOT part of the Christian Kingdom or the Great Tribulation Kingdom
(a.k.a., the Revelation Beasts).
-------------------
The ONLY "Kingdom of Heaven" NOT specifically NAMED by Jesus is
the (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom containing all the saints from Adam to Noah.
--------------------
Without this CONTEXT (which God PROMISED would remain "closed-up"
and "sealed" to all previous saints - see Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10) no "teacher"
can even pretend to offer an "informed opinion" on Biblical eschatology.
---------------------
However, the Lord Jesus did PROMISE the Last Saints "shall see" fulfillment
of ALL Great Tribulation prophecy [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] and the Last Saints
are commanded to "prophecy again" about these Biblical mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]
------------------------
In other words... (and this is important) when the Lord Jesus Returns at the
Seventh Trumpet the Last Saints are not preaching the Gospel of the Jewish
"Kingdom of Heaven"... and they're not preaching Great Commission Gospel
(the Gospel of the Christian Kingdom) and they are not preaching the Gospel
of the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"...
----------------------
When the Lord Returns the Last Saints are preaching about Daniel's mysteries
and they are preaching about the fulfillment of Great Tribulation prophecies
and they are preaching mysteries from the "Open Book" [Rev 10:7-11] including
the NAME the "Little Horn" and the "Man of Sin" and the event known as Daniel's
"Abomination", which occurs during the FOURTH "Kingdom of Heaven".

No "theologian" can pretend to offer an "informed opinion" on end-time
prophecies if they cannot incorporate the five (5) "Kingdoms of Heaven"
on earth into their Gospel and the reality that the Gospel of the Last Saints
is DIFFERENT than Jewish Saints, Christian Saints or Great Tribulation Saints
[who are specifically NAMED as being the "wise virgins" in Mat 25:1-13]
-----------------------------
Please do not be alarmed by the idea of there being LAST SAINTS.
We all know 1Co 15 that talks about the Last Saints being "changed"
in the "twinkling of an eye" into our eternal and incorruptible
spiritual bodies - as the Lord Returns and the resurrection occurs.

@Shaken not stirred you sound more like an atheist than a believer in Jesus Christ. A true believer in Jesus might say, "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a more excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I offer my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or take into account a wrong; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."
@@wisevirgin3405 this sounds more like a canned answer than one that seriously engages with the issues involved. Your comment is almost incomprehensible. Can you summarize it in one sentence?
@@BurningHearts99 ... Are you serious child?
Can you not READ what I wrote? If so then you have only
one task... agree with what was written or find ONE VERSE
in the Bible that contradicts anything I said. Is that too hard?
Can you find ONE VERSE to contradict? Send chapter and verse.

@@wisevirgin3405, In your challenge to Richard Statham, I will ask you to prove with a Scripture what you said that: ''The ONLY "Kingdom of Heaven" NOT specifically NAMED by Jesus is
the (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom containing all the saints from Adam to Noah.'' Thank you...
What a timely and almost prophetic lesson from RC Sproul ! Objective truth is is now replaced by preference and feelings . Sadly, fully realized now in this culture.
Rationalism + Empiricism. As Ravi Zacharias said, "God has put enough into this world to make faith in Him a most reasonable thing. But He has left enough out to make it impossible to live by sheer reason alone."
Blaise Pascal said something similar.
Profound words from Ravi
Check out R. C. Sproul’s 6 part teaching, “chosen by God”. It will open your eyes to the sovereignty of God‘s grace.
I will miss great teachers like RC and Ravi
Old age finally caught up with Ravi?

Francis Dudero thinking exactly the same thing... will see R.C and Ravi in heaven :)
What is wonderful, God has preserved them for us; their leadership and direction in biblical truths!
Release the other parts PLEASE!! In a time where evil is called good and good is called evil more than ever, this will help immensely. Thank you ligonier for all you do!!
Teaching is sorely needed in our current Postmodern Post-Christian world. Particularly if we expect to advance a Christian idea into a Postmodern Post-Christian world. I've heard R C talk about Kant and Hegel which few teachers talk about, and their influence in shaping our current day. Thank you Father.

An amazing introductory teaching of how to love God with all your mind. So many Christians trade thinking for feeling which leads them to a place where they have no idea they are dishonoring God

This lesson is epic. Glad to hear so many wonderful summaries from RC regarding truth even if some of them I already hear.
This is a great series. I revisit his systematic theology teaching often. He was and still is one of the greatest teachers and theologians.
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."
(James 1: 22- 25)
Amen

Amen Sproul. We know what we know by the revealing of Christ, walking by faith and not by sight. Thank you for the amazing message, and may I apply this with my walk with The Lord. God bless you all.
We can know, because God exists. If He didn't exist, we couldn't know anything. "The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge."
"Their are no other ways for us to arrive at concepts, that shed light on the glory of God, who transcends the world, except we apprehend God's work, in the world." Adolf Schlatter (1852-1938). Brilliant talk.

This is extremely deep
Thank God for RC Sproul who preach the Gospel.
Excellent introduction to the Epistamology theory by R.C. Sproul with a thinker by his side. Truly we miss him.
So pertinent to where we find secular society today.
It's incredible how he comes up with such amazing analogies.
great teaching! Praise God!
This is so good, there arent many like him
If only RC could see what life is like in 2023. Oh how far we have fallen.
He would say " WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PPL?!"

@@josephdurraz8574 He does look and sound like a movie star. Why is that not "nice" to say? He was a handsome man with a ton of charisma. You can't deny that.

Oh gosh....this was preached decades ago....i really would like to know what he would think about society in 2024....

the saved "wheat/sheep" from EACH of the previous (temporal) "Kingdoms.
AND it contains Abraham and Isaac and Jacob [Mat 8:11] which obviously
were NOT part of the Christian Kingdom or the Great Tribulation Kingdom
(a.k.a., the Revelation Beasts).
-------------------
The ONLY "Kingdom of Heaven" NOT specifically NAMED by Jesus is
the (1st) Pre-Flood Kingdom containing all the saints from Adam to Noah.
--------------------
Without this CONTEXT (which God PROMISED would remain "closed-up"
and "sealed" to all previous saints - see Dan 12:4 and 12:8-10) no "teacher"
can even pretend to offer an "informed opinion" on Biblical eschatology.
---------------------
However, the Lord Jesus did PROMISE the Last Saints "shall see" fulfillment
of ALL Great Tribulation prophecy [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] and the Last Saints
are commanded to "prophecy again" about these Biblical mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]
------------------------
In other words... (and this is important) when the Lord Jesus Returns at the
Seventh Trumpet the Last Saints are not preaching the Gospel of the Jewish
"Kingdom of Heaven"... and they're not preaching Great Commission Gospel
(the Gospel of the Christian Kingdom) and they are not preaching the Gospel
of the Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"...
----------------------
When the Lord Returns the Last Saints are preaching about Daniel's mysteries
and they are preaching about the fulfillment of Great Tribulation prophecies
and they are preaching mysteries from the "Open Book" [Rev 10:7-11] including
the NAME the "Little Horn" and the "Man of Sin" and the event known as Daniel's
"Abomination", which occurs during the FOURTH "Kingdom of Heaven".

No "theologian" can pretend to offer an "informed opinion" on end-time
prophecies if they cannot incorporate the five (5) "Kingdoms of Heaven"
on earth into their Gospel and the reality that the Gospel of the Last Saints
is DIFFERENT than Jewish Saints, Christian Saints or Great Tribulation Saints
[who are specifically NAMED as being the "wise virgins" in Mat 25:1-13]
-----------------------------
Please do not be alarmed by the idea of there being LAST SAINTS.
We all know 1Co 15 that talks about the Last Saints being "changed"
in the "twinkling of an eye" into our eternal and incorruptible
spiritual bodies - as the Lord Returns and the resurrection occurs.

Glad you enjoyed RC Sproul s teaching. I've gathered this was probably filmed in mid to late 1990's.
I've seen others in this series - his "Last Days according to JESUS" on Eschatology is a Gem, not to be missed....
1992, because he mentioned recently seeing “the Elvis files” with Bill Bixby,….this was produced in 1992. But also in comments below Ligonier itself responded, 1992.
Nice haircut brother! We miss you RC.
That is definitely some mane.
I jut love RC's intros.
Is the entire series available on the Internet? I don't have Roku.
He looked and sounded exactly like what he was - a suburban Pittsburgher.
In what year was this recording made. Thank you for uploading a great teaching!
1992
It's essential that pastors have some background in philosophy. Philosophical study provides categories by which we can properly understand the Scriptures, and the culture into which we proclaim the Gospel. Think of philosophy as a gift of God's general revelation.
For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 1 corinthians 4:20
Since this is the 1st video in the series I will like to see the rest of the videos in this series. How can I find them please?
It's in the description.
Are the other parts also uploaded?
The other parts will be added here over time. You can watch them all right now at www.ligonier.org/learn/series/blueprint_for_thinking/
@@ligonier Hey thank you for the answer brother and the resources, I really enjoyed the first video! I just discovered your YT channel yesterday...and it's phenomenal!
He's clearly a fan of Elvis... but with a biblical message
But God is one who knows all that we can't and is shown through creation and the Bible shows perfect intercuit beautiful words only God could write.
For a second I thought the guest was Ravi Zacharias
thanks
When was this recorded?
I believe it was 1991
@@MrJonnym917 Thank you, but fyi, In a different comment a person asked when it was made and the video maker responded with 1992. So, Im not certain of accuracy but I thought I would share that with you. Again I thank you.
@@thetroof5525 Thanks I'm not a 100% that it was 1991 so it might be 1992

If you want the BIBLICAL TRUTH... God never intended
those living in the Christian "Kingdom of Heaven" to
understand the fulfillment of Bible prophecy occurring
AFTER the end of the Great Commission... just as God
never intended the Jews understand the fulfillment
of prophecy AFTER their separate-and-distinct
"Kingdom of Heaven" [Mat 22:2]
---------------
The BIBLICAL fact is the history of mankind is
the REFLECTION of God's salvation plan over four
(temporal) "Kingdoms of Heaven" before the Lord
Returns to establish the (5th) Eternal "Kingdom"
-----------------
Mat 22:2... Jesus NAMED the (2nd) Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven".
Mat 13 (in 8 verses) Jesus NAMED the (3rd) Christian "Kingdom of Heaven"
Mat 25:1 Jesus NAMED the (4th) Great Tribulation "Kingdom of Heaven"
------------------
Keep in mind that these are all TEMPORAL "Kingdoms of Heaven"
(they each had their own unique Gospel) and they consisted of
BOTH the saved "wheat/sheep" and many unsaved "tares/goats"
sown by Satan, who remain "children of Satan" [Mat 13:24-30]

May I recommend a bottle of cabernet ?
Foolish Drunk, I would rather say: True knowledge is knowing that we know very little....
Even that view thinks too highly of ourselves
@@foolishdrunk2181, Do you speak to me? If you do, I don't think it's too highly of myself.... It is a realistic view... God revealed to us His Personality, His ways, His Nature, His plan for us and by studying His words we know something about God... Your view is not realistic but Hypocrisy disguise in humbleness....
When joining the Family of God, you personally make the choice to approach Him, You do it by choosing to Believe,.. Evidentiality has no part in this,.. You choose to Trust Him,..and thus choose His Way, and Only by Faith which springs Hope, can you, through His Son,...approach God, we all know, there's no evidence of the kind that would or could supersede the Covenant of Faith...

@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC you have lain out an indictment which is your interpretation of the reality we all struggle with, you point out indictments to dissuade a People from how they Believe,.. We have Given it to Him and we place our Hope and Faith in Him,.. I'm going to Believe, God Help Me, and let the accuser be damned,.. I have "subbed" to His way, and despite all your accusations you should too,..
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC ... actually child you are telling HALF-TRUTHS
-------------------
You said (and I quote) "When joining the Family of God, you personally
make the choice to approach Him, you do it by choosing to Believe"
-------------------
You are telling a Partial-Truth because that ONLY applies to joining
the TEMPORAL "Kingdom of Heaven" (aka the church on the corner).
ANYONE can simply "chose" to join the temporal "church" because
it consists of MANY unsaved "tares" sown by Satan and (as children
of Satan they are) destined to eternal torment... AND the church also
contains relatively FEW saved "wheat/sheep" sown by God and
destined to eternal life.
--------------------------
So your statement was half true and half false
----------------------------
To join the ETERNAL "Kingdom of Heaven", also known as the
"Kingdom of God" or the "Bride of Christ" you must FIRST be
"ordained" or "chosen" or "elected" by God. THEN God actually
"draws" the chosen to Christ and GIVES them the faith to believe.
-------------------------------
The Bible is very clear... to become part of the "Kingdom of God"
you must be a saved "wheat/sheep" and NOT an unsaved "tare"
--------------------------------
You should be more careful with your preaching because telling
half-truths is the same as preaching false doctrines and THAT
is the "fruit" of an unsaved tare and NOT the "fruit" of a saint.

Sorry pilgrims Progress is the greatest!! Never read Moby dick never will.never heard of rodan either. Just SOLOMON.But greater JESUS. 100 Percent of J.W think that jesus is just a man or micheal. Percentage mean nothing but what do YOU think Who Jesus is!!!
Dr. Sproul is a great thinker and proficient in sharing his thought... I admire him for that.... However he mixed his study of the words of God with his study of such things as he is teaching us now which lead him to believe a lie of John Calvin.... The study of epistemology will only hinder you with the study of the words of God which a million times higher than epistemology... For example he, like all other Calvinist believe that God is glorified by sending a person for eternal torture in hell... and also they believe that humanity after the Fall of Adam and Eve are totally depraved that a person could not even will to answer the call of God nor can believe and love Jesus unless he is first Regenerated by God.... These are some of the errors of Calvinism that contradicts the bible... But yet Calvinists love this doctrine because of false epistemology....
