BAL 2024, Ep20 - Truth about Sin, Prophecy, and Divine Discerning

Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for an insightful episode that begins with a surprising look at the history of the tomato. Once feared as poisonous in America, this "Amazing Fact" illustrates how easily society can be deceived—a warning Jesus gave about the final days when people would mistake good for evil. The pastors dive into the mechanics of spiritual deception, exploring the "strong delusion" of the last days and providing a clear biblical identification of the Antichrist power. This broadcast addresses a wide range of listener questions, from the deep theological differences between the Old and New Covenants to the practical challenges of re-baptism and maintaining a business while honoring the Sabbath. The pastors offer scripture-based insights into the fall of Lucifer, the biblical distinction between killing and murder, and the mysterious "Third Seal" of Revelation. You’ll also find answers to intriguing questions about early human history, such as the origin of Cain’s wife and whether dinosaurs were present on Noah’s Ark, as well as comforting thoughts on the role of the Holy Spirit in eternity and whether our pets will join us in the New Earth.
