“We know from the Genesis account of creation that everything God made, He deemed it to be very good. So that would tell us that even the angelic world that God created did not have demons in it at the time of creation.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston 

Hello Kitchen Table Theology Family!  In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton continue their discussion on Angelology. So far in this series, we’ve discussed what angels are, what they do within God’s purpose, and our relationship with angels. Today we discuss the topic of Demonology.

Key Quotes

“[Satan] would have had to be part of God's creation that originally was created. And God said it was very good. So he was originally created as a holy angel, and he apparently occupied the highest position among all the angels. But he chose to rebel against God. And when he did that, he incurred the condemnation and the judgment of relentless eternal punishment and divine retribution.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston  

“Satan actively works to thwart the plans and purposes of God.“ -  Pastor Jeff Cranston

“Look, if we could understand everything about God, we wouldn’t need Him. There are elements of God and His will and His working and His ways that are mysterious to us.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston  

Hello Kitchen Table Theology Family! Welcome to this special episode in which Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton answer questions from you! 

[00:01]  Introduction to Today’s Bonus Episode

• Pastor Jeff finally gets to tell his joke 

 [04:53] Is Prayer and God’s Providence Paradoxical?

• How do God's providence and our prayers work together?
• If God is providential, and He has ordained everything before the foundations of the world, why do we pray?
  • It is both true that God’s providence is seen everywhere in scripture and God’s people are commanded to pray 
• God utilizes our prayers as a means to the fulfillment of His purpose in some way

•  God’s call is always good 

[23:40] Did a Baby Die Because of David’s Sin?

Key Quotes

“The providence of God, basically means that God is in charge. God is in control of everything, and God's going to do what God determines to do. That's His providence,” - Pastor Jeff Cranston   

“When we pray, we have hope and certainty, that we have a God who can and will respond to our needs and pleas. I think what God does is He uses our requests to fulfill His goal in concert with us, his people, in some mysterious way. So God utilizes our prayers as a means to the fulfillment of His purpose in some way.”-  Pastor Jeff Cranston   

“Attempt something so great for God that if God not be in it, it is doomed to fail.” - William Carey

“I think a lot of us like to say, [Children] are so innocent, but that doesn't save them. They, along with every other person in the history of the planet, can only be saved based on Christ's redemptive work on the cross and the regenerating work of the Spirit.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Hello Kitchen Table Theology Family! In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton wrap up our series of The Doctrine of Hamartiology. So far in this series, we’ve covered The Lostness of Man, the Inevitable Results of Lostness, the Future Destiny of the Lost, If There is a Second Chance After Death, the Consequences of Sin, and today we answer a question that people have been asking for centuries.

[00:01]  The Weight of This Topic

• A brief history lesson on what theologians and church leaders have taught regarding this issue
• While Scripture doesn't address this issue directly, Scripture contains guidance that can lead us to an answer with biblical grounds

 [09:41]  Are All People Sinful Before God, Even at Infancy?

• We are all sinners before God
  • The universal sinfulness of humanity (Psalm 53:1-3, Psalm 143:2)
  • There is no one who does not sin (1 Kings 8:46, 1 John 1:8)

[14:22] Are Infants Guilty Before Committing Sin?

• The Lord Jesus died for everyone. By His work on the cross, He has secured the basis of divine forgiveness, so that anyone can turn to Him and be saved
• God is not willing that anyone should perish. (Matt 18:14, Rom 1:19-23)
• Infants cannot know right from wrong, nor do they have the ability to choose right over wrong (Deut 1:39)
• Because salvation is wholly God's work, it is reasonable to assume that He saves all infants who die before they've reached the state of moral awareness and self-determination
• God can bring new spiritual life to an infant, even before that infant is born (Luke 1:15, Psalm 22:9-10, Jer 1:5)

[23:05] More Scripture That Affirms the Salvation of Babies Who Die in Infancy

• We stand guilty as sinners before God based on original or inherited sin, but we also stand guilty before God because of the sins we personally commit
• In his grief over the death of his infant son, David expressed confidence that he would be with his son in the presence of God forever (2 Samuel 12:23)

 [25:18] Final Thoughts

• A summary of today’s podcast
• Closing with a story from Evangelist Dwight L. Moody
• Connect with us!

Key Quotes

“He has done it all. Christ has done it on the cross. And that includes infants. If they're not at a point in life where they can make morally aware decisions, most evangelical theologians certainly would say that, because of that, and because of God's love and grace, He saves them at their death.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Key Quotes

“As sin affects us, the Bible teaches us that sin dulls our ears. darkens our eyes, diverts our feet, defiles our tongues, deceives our hearts, devours our intellect, and it dooms our soul which just reminds us that Christ is our only hope.” - Pastor Jeff Craston 

“Most humans are selfish, we tend to only think about ourselves. We don't think about how far-reaching our sin is. We feel the effects, we think about how it affects us, but we don't think about how it has a ripple effect.” - Jen Denton

Hello Kitchen Table Theology Family! In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton continue in our series of The Doctrine of Hamartiology. So far in this series, we’ve covered The Lostness of Man, the Inevitable Results of Lostness, the Future Destiny of the Lost, and today we discuss and respond to a question that many people often wonder about.

[00:01] Is There Another Chance to Choose to Follow Christ After Death? 

• A second chance after death is a great incentive to be as wicked as possible in your earthly life 
• Christ clearly teaches there is no option for changing our eternal destiny in the afterlife (Luke 16)
• All people experience death once and then come into judgment (Hebrews 9:27)

 [07:19] What The Bible Says About Annihilationism and Purgatory

• Annihilationism: Unbelievers will be wiped out or annihilated sometime after their death
• Purgatory:  An area of limbo or transition, in which souls could dwell and then later, reach heaven. From the Roman Catholic tradition based on the extra-biblical book of 2 Maccabees
• In scripture we see 
  • How we cannot change our eternal destination (Luke 16: 19-31)
  • All creation, believers, and unbelievers will bow to Jesus at the end of time (Philippians 2:9-11)
  • All that remains for the unbeliever is judgment (Rev 20:14-15)
• God, in His abundant grace, has given us many second chances to respond to salvation in Christ

[12:36] The Kingdom of God Is At Hand

• Trust in Jesus that  if something is right and true, He would have told us in His Word
• There is an urgency and immediacy about entering God’s kingdom (Matt 4:17, Luke 13:24) 
• There is a day with the opportunity to believe and there's a door that stands open, but eventually, it will close
  • Today is the day of salvation
• In Luke 19:41-44, we see Jesus cry over Jerusalem, sheep without a shepherd, who didn’t recognize their day of visitation 

 [17:55] What Do We Do as Believers?    

• As Christians, we should have a sense of urgency about God's Kingdom. We are commanded to go to the ends of the earth to share the gospel
• Closing words
