- 00:00:35.024 --> 00:00:36.960
- Brand new series. actually, this
- 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.828
- Is an old, old teaching, but i
- 00:00:38.828 --> 00:00:40.763
- Hadn't taught this in a long
- 00:00:40.763 --> 00:00:42.132
- Time, so i guess it's not brand
- 00:00:42.132 --> 00:00:43.766
- New but it's new to most
- 00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:45.368
- People watching this. and
- 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:47.070
- It's entitled the true nature
- 00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:48.505
- Of god. and yesterday i
- 00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:50.573
- Gave a brief introduction
- 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.342
- Gave a brief introduction to this and tried to explain
- 00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:54.644
- To this and tried to explain why this is so important,
- 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:56.379
- Why this is so important, but if you don't understand
- 00:00:56.446 --> 00:00:58.515
- But if you don't understand the nature of a person
- 00:00:58.581 --> 00:01:00.750
- The nature of a person that you're trying to have
- 00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:01.751
- That you're trying to have a relationship with, you're
- 00:01:01.818 --> 00:01:03.853
- A relationship with, you're going to have nothing but
- 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.654
- Going to have nothing but problems. you will misread
- 00:01:04.721 --> 00:01:06.623
- Problems. you will misread things. did you know once you
- 00:01:06.689 --> 00:01:07.891
- Things. did you know once you get to really know a person and
- 00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:10.059
- Get to really know a person and you know that they love you and
- 00:01:10.126 --> 00:01:11.928
- You know that they love you and that they are never going to
- 00:01:11.995 --> 00:01:12.862
- That they are never going to turn away from you, you can take
- 00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:16.132
- Turn away from you, you can take hard things that they may say to
- 00:01:16.199 --> 00:01:17.867
- Hard things that they may say to you, but you know that they're
- 00:01:17.934 --> 00:01:18.902
- You, but you know that they're doing it in love. but if you
- 00:01:18.968 --> 00:01:20.770
- Doing it in love. but if you have a person that you don't
- 00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:21.971
- Have a person that you don't really know anything about, you
- 00:01:22.038 --> 00:01:23.173
- Really know anything about, you don't know their motivation, you
- 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.541
- Don't know their motivation, you don't know exactly why they're
- 00:01:24.607 --> 00:01:25.742
- Don't know exactly why they're doing things. you know, i think
- 00:01:25.808 --> 00:01:27.610
- Doing things. you know, i think that every person watching this
- 00:01:27.677 --> 00:01:29.145
- That every person watching this could relate to that you've had
- 00:01:29.212 --> 00:01:31.781
- Could relate to that you've had a relationship with somebody and
- 00:01:31.848 --> 00:01:33.383
- A relationship with somebody and then later you find out that
- 00:01:33.449 --> 00:01:34.717
- Then later you find out that this person had done something
- 00:01:34.784 --> 00:01:36.252
- This person had done something for you, maybe anonymous. maybe
- 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.388
- For you, maybe anonymous. maybe they had blessed you, things
- 00:01:38.454 --> 00:01:40.523
- They had blessed you, things that you didn't realize. and
- 00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:42.792
- That you didn't realize. and as you saw what they had
- 00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:44.928
- As you saw what they had done, all of a sudden your
- 00:01:44.994 --> 00:01:46.529
- Done, all of a sudden your love, your appreciation
- 00:01:46.596 --> 00:01:47.931
- Love, your appreciation of them just increased
- 00:01:47.997 --> 00:01:49.899
- Of them just increased dramatically. this is exactly
- 00:01:49.966 --> 00:01:51.701
- What philippians 1:9, says
- 00:01:51.768 --> 00:01:53.403
- What philippians 1:9, says that he's praying that your
- 00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:54.504
- That he's praying that your love would abound more and
- 00:01:54.571 --> 00:01:56.506
- Love would abound more and more in knowledge and in all
- 00:01:56.573 --> 00:01:59.409
- More in knowledge and in all judgment. if you don't really
- 00:01:59.475 --> 00:02:01.511
- Know who god is, and if you
- 00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:04.147
- Know who god is, and if you don't understand everything he's
- 00:02:04.214 --> 00:02:05.982
- Don't understand everything he's done for you, then you aren't
- 00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:07.750
- Done for you, then you aren't going to really appreciate him
- 00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:09.352
- Going to really appreciate him the way that you sood... should.
- 00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:11.154
- The way that you sood... should. and also i bet everybody can
- 00:02:11.221 --> 00:02:12.622
- And also i bet everybody can relate to this, that you've had
- 00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:14.090
- Relate to this, that you've had somebody who you thought was
- 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:16.159
- Somebody who you thought was treating you real well, and then
- 00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:17.961
- Treating you real well, and then you find out that behind your
- 00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:19.429
- You find out that behind your back they've been saying things,
- 00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:20.964
- Back they've been saying things, or maybe they were just lying to
- 00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:23.433
- Or maybe they were just lying to you, flattering you so that they
- 00:02:23.499 --> 00:02:25.235
- You, flattering you so that they could set you up or something.
- 00:02:25.301 --> 00:02:27.036
- Could set you up or something. and once you see that a person
- 00:02:27.103 --> 00:02:29.105
- And once you see that a person has done things to hurt you
- 00:02:29.172 --> 00:02:31.040
- Has done things to hurt you and... and malicious and things
- 00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:32.842
- And... and malicious and things like that, that affects the way
- 00:02:32.909 --> 00:02:35.845
- Like that, that affects the way that you relate to them. so, my
- 00:02:35.912 --> 00:02:38.147
- That you relate to them. so, my point in saying all of that is
- 00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:39.983
- Point in saying all of that is that most people don't truly
- 00:02:40.049 --> 00:02:42.485
- That most people don't truly understand the nature of god.
- 00:02:42.552 --> 00:02:44.954
- Understand the nature of god. and because of this, satan is
- 00:02:45.021 --> 00:02:46.589
- And because of this, satan is able to come and say, oh yeah,
- 00:02:46.656 --> 00:02:47.924
- Able to come and say, oh yeah, god heals today and maybe
- 00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.659
- God heals today and maybe andrew's talking about he's seen
- 00:02:49.726 --> 00:02:51.327
- Andrew's talking about he's seen miracles and things work for
- 00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:53.396
- Miracles and things work for him, but it'll never work for
- 00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:54.964
- Him, but it'll never work for you. if you've ever thought
- 00:02:55.031 --> 00:02:56.766
- You. if you've ever thought that, if you've ever thought
- 00:02:56.833 --> 00:02:58.167
- That, if you've ever thought that god has special people and
- 00:02:58.234 --> 00:03:00.336
- That god has special people and that he does some things for
- 00:03:00.403 --> 00:03:01.571
- That he does some things for some people and not for others
- 00:03:01.638 --> 00:03:03.606
- Some people and not for others and that god has favorites,
- 00:03:03.673 --> 00:03:05.141
- And that god has favorites, etc., and stuff, you don't
- 00:03:05.208 --> 00:03:07.143
- Etc., and stuff, you don't understand the true nature
- 00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:08.311
- Understand the true nature and character of god. you
- 00:03:08.378 --> 00:03:10.380
- And character of god. you don't understand that.
- 00:03:10.446 --> 00:03:11.514
- God is no respecter of
- 00:03:11.948 --> 00:03:13.283
- God is no respecter of persons is what the scripture
- 00:03:13.349 --> 00:03:14.651
- Persons is what the scripture says in romans, chapter 2,
- 00:03:14.717 --> 00:03:16.486
- Says in romans, chapter 2, verse 11. he is no respecter
- 00:03:16.552 --> 00:03:18.821
- Verse 11. he is no respecter of persons. everything
- 00:03:18.888 --> 00:03:20.223
- That he has done for me, he's
- 00:03:20.290 --> 00:03:21.791
- That he has done for me, he's also done for you. now you
- 00:03:21.858 --> 00:03:23.693
- Also done for you. now you have to learn and receive it
- 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:25.695
- Have to learn and receive it by faith and faith is based on
- 00:03:25.762 --> 00:03:27.864
- By faith and faith is based on knowledge. that's what it says
- 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:29.699
- In 2 peter, chapter 1, it says,
- 00:03:29.766 --> 00:03:32.468
- In 2 peter, chapter 1, it says, all things that pertain
- 00:03:32.535 --> 00:03:34.037
- All things that pertain unto life and godliness,
- 00:03:34.103 --> 00:03:35.838
- Unto life and godliness, which certainly faith
- 00:03:35.905 --> 00:03:37.073
- Is one of those things that
- 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:38.074
- Is one of those things that pertains to life and godliness,
- 00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:39.709
- It comes through the knowledge
- 00:03:39.776 --> 00:03:42.078
- It comes through the knowledge of him that has called us to
- 00:03:42.145 --> 00:03:43.613
- Of him that has called us to glory and virtue. and then the
- 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.814
- Glory and virtue. and then the next verse says, whereby are
- 00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:46.316
- Next verse says, whereby are given unto us exceeding great
- 00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:48.718
- Given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by
- 00:03:48.785 --> 00:03:50.453
- And precious promises: that by these we might become partakers
- 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.855
- These we might become partakers of the divine nature, having
- 00:03:52.922 --> 00:03:54.290
- Of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that's
- 00:03:54.357 --> 00:03:55.558
- Escaped the corruption that's in the world through lust. so,
- 00:03:55.625 --> 00:03:57.527
- God's knowledge is what gave us
- 00:03:57.593 --> 00:04:00.063
- God's knowledge is what gave us this word. this word reveals his
- 00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:02.131
- This word. this word reveals his knowledge. and if you don't have
- 00:04:02.198 --> 00:04:03.966
- Knowledge. and if you don't have the proper knowledge, well
- 00:04:04.033 --> 00:04:05.935
- The proper knowledge, well then it says all things that
- 00:04:06.002 --> 00:04:07.637
- Then it says all things that pertain to life and godliness
- 00:04:07.704 --> 00:04:09.038
- Pertain to life and godliness come through the knowledge.
- 00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:10.740
- Come through the knowledge. and we have a lot of wrong
- 00:04:10.807 --> 00:04:12.642
- And we have a lot of wrong knowledge about god. and let
- 00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:15.278
- Knowledge about god. and let me just say some things. i'm not
- 00:04:15.345 --> 00:04:17.046
- Me just say some things. i'm not against true christianity, but
- 00:04:17.113 --> 00:04:20.350
- Against true christianity, but i am against religion. and the
- 00:04:20.416 --> 00:04:23.052
- I am against religion. and the distinction that i make in those
- 00:04:23.119 --> 00:04:24.721
- Distinction that i make in those words is that religion is what
- 00:04:24.787 --> 00:04:26.889
- Words is that religion is what man says about god. true
- 00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:30.360
- Man says about god. true christianity is god revealing
- 00:04:30.426 --> 00:04:33.396
- Christianity is god revealing himself, and it conforms to this
- 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:35.531
- Himself, and it conforms to this word perfectly. but religion
- 00:04:35.598 --> 00:04:38.000
- Word perfectly. but religion comes along and in a sense
- 00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:39.736
- Comes along and in a sense they've made their own god.
- 00:04:39.802 --> 00:04:41.471
- They've made their own god. they've made idols. they say god
- 00:04:41.537 --> 00:04:43.873
- They've made idols. they say god is the one who put sickness on
- 00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:45.208
- Is the one who put sickness on you. god is the one who struck
- 00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:46.709
- You. god is the one who struck your child and made them
- 00:04:46.776 --> 00:04:47.877
- Your child and made them quadriplegic. god is the one who
- 00:04:47.944 --> 00:04:50.246
- Quadriplegic. god is the one who does these things. and religion
- 00:04:50.313 --> 00:04:53.082
- Does these things. and religion comes along and creates a
- 00:04:53.149 --> 00:04:54.484
- Comes along and creates a god that is contrary to what
- 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:56.152
- God that is contrary to what the word of god says. and i'm
- 00:04:56.219 --> 00:04:58.421
- The word of god says. and i'm against that. in a sense, that's
- 00:04:58.488 --> 00:04:59.989
- Against that. in a sense, that's idolatry. most people, i've
- 00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:02.725
- Idolatry. most people, i've actually heard people say
- 00:05:02.792 --> 00:05:03.993
- Actually heard people say before, i wouldn't serve a god
- 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.528
- Before, i wouldn't serve a god who doesn't heal. i wouldn't
- 00:05:05.595 --> 00:05:06.829
- Who doesn't heal. i wouldn't serve a god who doesn't prosper
- 00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.598
- Serve a god who doesn't prosper or whatever. and i understand
- 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:10.400
- Or whatever. and i understand what they're make... meaning,
- 00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:12.735
- What they're make... meaning, but did you know that's really
- 00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.337
- But did you know that's really wrong theology. it's not up to
- 00:05:14.404 --> 00:05:17.407
- Wrong theology. it's not up to us to pick and choose how we
- 00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:19.208
- Us to pick and choose how we want god to be. it's not up to
- 00:05:19.275 --> 00:05:21.411
- Want god to be. it's not up to us to say, god, i'm not going
- 00:05:21.477 --> 00:05:22.678
- Us to say, god, i'm not going to serve you unless you're
- 00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:23.746
- To serve you unless you're a good god and unless you
- 00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:24.814
- A good god and unless you do this and this and this.
- 00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:26.149
- You can't make god in your
- 00:05:27.083 --> 00:05:28.518
- You can't make god in your own image. you can't come
- 00:05:28.584 --> 00:05:29.685
- Own image. you can't come up with a god that you
- 00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:31.187
- Up with a god that you want him to be. now,
- 00:05:31.254 --> 00:05:33.055
- Want him to be. now, our god is a good god,
- 00:05:33.122 --> 00:05:33.890
- And this is one of the
- 00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:35.391
- Things that i'm going to be
- 00:05:35.391 --> 00:05:36.225
- Establishing through this series
- 00:05:36.225 --> 00:05:37.794
- That i think is going to make a
- 00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:39.328
- Huge difference once you begin
- 00:05:39.328 --> 00:05:41.631
- To understand the true nature of
- 00:05:41.631 --> 00:05:43.966
- God, that god is 100% good. and
- 00:05:43.966 --> 00:05:48.371
- He's not the one who's doing
- 00:05:48.371 --> 00:05:49.806
- All these terrible things.
- 00:05:49.806 --> 00:05:51.707
- Once you understand this,
- 00:05:51.774 --> 00:05:52.909
- Once you understand this, you're going to... your
- 00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:53.843
- You're going to... your appreciation and love of
- 00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:55.111
- Appreciation and love of god is going to go through
- 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.345
- God is going to go through the roof. so i do believe that
- 00:05:56.412 --> 00:05:58.281
- The roof. so i do believe that god is a good god. but did you
- 00:05:58.347 --> 00:06:00.550
- God is a good god. but did you know, he's god and i'm not. if
- 00:06:00.616 --> 00:06:03.553
- Know, he's god and i'm not. if god was a bad god, if god was a
- 00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:05.688
- God was a bad god, if god was a mean god, he's god and i'm not,
- 00:06:05.755 --> 00:06:08.458
- Mean god, he's god and i'm not, and it's just up to me to yield
- 00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:11.160
- And it's just up to me to yield and to submit to whoever god is.
- 00:06:11.227 --> 00:06:13.529
- And to submit to whoever god is. and so i don't go to the word
- 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:14.931
- And so i don't go to the word of god saying, god, i'm only
- 00:06:14.997 --> 00:06:16.399
- Of god saying, god, i'm only going to serve you if everything
- 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:17.967
- Going to serve you if everything in here lines up with the way i
- 00:06:18.034 --> 00:06:19.502
- In here lines up with the way i want you to be. i just go to the
- 00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:21.337
- Want you to be. i just go to the word of god and whatever it says
- 00:06:21.404 --> 00:06:23.272
- Word of god and whatever it says about him, that's who he is and
- 00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:24.707
- About him, that's who he is and that's how i'm going to receive
- 00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:26.108
- That's how i'm going to receive him. and the fact that he is a
- 00:06:26.175 --> 00:06:28.077
- Him. and the fact that he is a good god and that he's greater
- 00:06:28.144 --> 00:06:29.946
- Good god and that he's greater and better than any of us could
- 00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:32.181
- And better than any of us could ever imagine, that's just like
- 00:06:32.248 --> 00:06:33.716
- Ever imagine, that's just like icing on the cake. but when
- 00:06:33.783 --> 00:06:35.651
- Icing on the cake. but when you go and you start saying,
- 00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:37.220
- You go and you start saying, god's... god's wrong here. if
- 00:06:37.286 --> 00:06:39.889
- God's... god's wrong here. if you've ever been... let me say
- 00:06:39.956 --> 00:06:40.890
- You've ever been... let me say it this way. if you've ever been
- 00:06:40.957 --> 00:06:42.291
- It this way. if you've ever been bitter and angry at god, if
- 00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:44.727
- Bitter and angry at god, if you've ever felt like god let
- 00:06:44.794 --> 00:06:46.262
- You've ever felt like god let you down, if you ever felt like
- 00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:48.331
- You down, if you ever felt like god is the source of some
- 00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:50.933
- God is the source of some tragedy in your life, you don't
- 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.237
- Tragedy in your life, you don't understand the true nature and
- 00:06:54.303 --> 00:06:56.405
- Understand the true nature and character of god. you know,
- 00:06:56.472 --> 00:06:59.442
- Character of god. you know, there's a man, i'm not going
- 00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:00.276
- There's a man, i'm not going to call his name, but he was
- 00:07:00.343 --> 00:07:02.578
- To call his name, but he was raised a presbyterian. he and
- 00:07:02.645 --> 00:07:04.413
- Raised a presbyterian. he and his sister were very close,
- 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.482
- His sister were very close, and when they were just
- 00:07:06.549 --> 00:07:07.550
- And when they were just children, his sister got sick
- 00:07:07.617 --> 00:07:09.185
- Children, his sister got sick and died, and the presbyterian
- 00:07:09.252 --> 00:07:10.920
- And died, and the presbyterian church came and said that god is
- 00:07:10.987 --> 00:07:13.289
- Church came and said that god is the one who killed her. it was
- 00:07:13.356 --> 00:07:14.657
- The one who killed her. it was god's will. god needed a little
- 00:07:14.724 --> 00:07:16.893
- God's will. god needed a little angel in heaven. and this man
- 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.862
- Angel in heaven. and this man said, he... prior to that time
- 00:07:19.929 --> 00:07:22.398
- Said, he... prior to that time he had been going to church
- 00:07:22.465 --> 00:07:23.599
- He had been going to church and assumed that there was
- 00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:25.234
- And assumed that there was a god. i don't believe he had a
- 00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:26.435
- A god. i don't believe he had a personal relationship, but he
- 00:07:26.502 --> 00:07:28.170
- Personal relationship, but he at least acknowledged god.
- 00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:30.039
- At least acknowledged god. but when he was told that
- 00:07:30.106 --> 00:07:31.407
- But when he was told that god is the one that killed
- 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:33.009
- God is the one that killed his little sister, he said,
- 00:07:33.075 --> 00:07:34.944
- His little sister, he said, if there is a god, i hate him.
- 00:07:35.011 --> 00:07:37.380
- If there is a god, i hate him. and this man has dedicated
- 00:07:37.446 --> 00:07:39.448
- And this man has dedicated his life to turning people away
- 00:07:39.515 --> 00:07:42.385
- His life to turning people away from the judeo-christian ethics
- 00:07:42.451 --> 00:07:44.921
- From the judeo-christian ethics of the bible because god
- 00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:47.490
- Of the bible because god was misrepresented to
- 00:07:47.557 --> 00:07:48.724
- Was misrepresented to him. and i'm not going
- 00:07:48.791 --> 00:07:50.293
- Him. and i'm not going to tell you who this is,
- 00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:51.093
- To tell you who this is, but it... it is a person that
- 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.762
- But it... it is a person that i guarantee you every person
- 00:07:52.828 --> 00:07:53.996
- I guarantee you every person that's watching this program has
- 00:07:54.063 --> 00:07:55.565
- That's watching this program has been influenced by him some way
- 00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:57.199
- Been influenced by him some way or another. you've seen things
- 00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:58.868
- Or another. you've seen things that he's done on television.
- 00:07:58.935 --> 00:08:00.770
- That he's done on television. and he has a bitterness in his
- 00:08:00.836 --> 00:08:02.939
- And he has a bitterness in his heart that influences everything
- 00:08:03.005 --> 00:08:04.807
- Heart that influences everything that he does. did you know
- 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:06.275
- That he does. did you know there's another example
- 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:07.310
- There's another example of mahatma gandhi,
- 00:08:07.376 --> 00:08:08.311
- And mahatma gandhi is
- 00:08:08.811 --> 00:08:10.313
- The one who led people
- 00:08:10.313 --> 00:08:12.348
- In india to independence
- 00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:14.317
- From the british empire.
- 00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:15.718
- He's a super influential man.
- 00:08:15.718 --> 00:08:17.954
- Now, he's died now, but i
- 00:08:18.020 --> 00:08:19.889
- Now, he's died now, but i mean, back in the day, he... he
- 00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:21.424
- Mean, back in the day, he... he was the one that god used. but
- 00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:23.192
- Was the one that god used. but he was exiled for a period of
- 00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:25.061
- He was exiled for a period of time in africa. and while he was
- 00:08:25.127 --> 00:08:27.897
- Time in africa. and while he was in exile, he actually read the
- 00:08:27.964 --> 00:08:29.665
- In exile, he actually read the new testament. and he was so
- 00:08:29.732 --> 00:08:32.101
- New testament. and he was so touched by it that he went to
- 00:08:32.168 --> 00:08:33.736
- Touched by it that he went to a presbyterian church to make
- 00:08:33.803 --> 00:08:36.405
- A presbyterian church to make a profession of his faith in
- 00:08:36.472 --> 00:08:38.708
- A profession of his faith in africa. and because he was
- 00:08:38.774 --> 00:08:41.010
- Africa. and because he was a black man and these were
- 00:08:41.077 --> 00:08:42.411
- A black man and these were white missionaries who were
- 00:08:42.478 --> 00:08:44.714
- White missionaries who were ministering in this church, they
- 00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:47.216
- Ministering in this church, they turned him away because he was
- 00:08:47.283 --> 00:08:48.718
- Turned him away because he was black. and he said, i would've
- 00:08:48.784 --> 00:08:51.654
- Black. and he said, i would've been a christian if i hadn't of
- 00:08:51.721 --> 00:08:53.289
- Been a christian if i hadn't of met one. did you know that those
- 00:08:53.356 --> 00:08:55.524
- Met one. did you know that those people who were presbyterians,
- 00:08:55.591 --> 00:08:56.726
- People who were presbyterians, they probably were born again
- 00:08:56.792 --> 00:08:58.394
- They probably were born again because they were from some
- 00:08:58.461 --> 00:09:00.896
- Because they were from some european country or maybe
- 00:09:00.963 --> 00:09:02.365
- European country or maybe america and they were white and
- 00:09:02.431 --> 00:09:04.600
- America and they were white and they were there ministering to
- 00:09:04.667 --> 00:09:05.968
- They were there ministering to people in a foreign land they
- 00:09:06.035 --> 00:09:07.970
- People in a foreign land they probably were saved, i don't
- 00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:09.972
- Probably were saved, i don't know. but they certainly didn't
- 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.541
- Know. but they certainly didn't represent god correctly. they
- 00:09:12.608 --> 00:09:14.844
- Represent god correctly. they didn't present the true nature
- 00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:16.379
- Didn't present the true nature of god. i guarantee you god's
- 00:09:16.445 --> 00:09:17.713
- Of god. i guarantee you god's not rejecting anybody on the
- 00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:19.615
- Not rejecting anybody on the basis of their color of their
- 00:09:19.682 --> 00:09:21.917
- Basis of their color of their skin or their education or male
- 00:09:21.984 --> 00:09:24.220
- Skin or their education or male or female and things like this.
- 00:09:24.286 --> 00:09:26.922
- Or female and things like this. and yet people misrepresent god
- 00:09:26.989 --> 00:09:29.258
- And yet people misrepresent god all of the time. god has been
- 00:09:29.325 --> 00:09:32.094
- All of the time. god has been the most maligned and criticized
- 00:09:32.161 --> 00:09:34.964
- The most maligned and criticized and misrepresented person that
- 00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:37.433
- And misrepresented person that has ever existed. and sad to say
- 00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.236
- Has ever existed. and sad to say religion is a large part of it.
- 00:09:40.302 --> 00:09:42.204
- Religion is a large part of it. did you know that there are lots
- 00:09:42.271 --> 00:09:43.773
- Did you know that there are lots of people that are rejecting
- 00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:46.742
- Of people that are rejecting the... the concept of god, the
- 00:09:46.809 --> 00:09:49.378
- The... the concept of god, the way that religion has presented
- 00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.380
- Way that religion has presented god, but they haven't truly
- 00:09:51.447 --> 00:09:52.715
- God, but they haven't truly represent... mis... they haven't
- 00:09:52.782 --> 00:09:54.450
- Represent... mis... they haven't truly rejected god, they're just
- 00:09:54.517 --> 00:09:56.886
- Truly rejected god, they're just rejecting this religious concept
- 00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:59.455
- Rejecting this religious concept of god. if anybody was to ever
- 00:09:59.522 --> 00:10:02.291
- Of god. if anybody was to ever really see who god truly is, his
- 00:10:02.358 --> 00:10:04.927
- Really see who god truly is, his real heart, his nature, his
- 00:10:04.994 --> 00:10:07.463
- Real heart, his nature, his character, nobody, nobody would
- 00:10:07.530 --> 00:10:10.166
- Character, nobody, nobody would ever reject god. that's a big
- 00:10:10.232 --> 00:10:14.003
- Ever reject god. that's a big statement. and i know that
- 00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:15.738
- Statement. and i know that there's people that are living a
- 00:10:15.805 --> 00:10:17.807
- There's people that are living a sinful life and man, maybe
- 00:10:17.873 --> 00:10:19.375
- Sinful life and man, maybe you're a drunk, maybe you're an
- 00:10:19.442 --> 00:10:21.510
- You're a drunk, maybe you're an addict, maybe you're living in
- 00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:23.245
- Addict, maybe you're living in sexual sin and you are just
- 00:10:23.312 --> 00:10:25.748
- Sexual sin and you are just incensed by what i'm saying
- 00:10:25.815 --> 00:10:27.016
- Incensed by what i'm saying because people at church have
- 00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:28.617
- Because people at church have condemned you and treated you
- 00:10:28.684 --> 00:10:30.386
- Condemned you and treated you terrible and stuff and you were
- 00:10:30.453 --> 00:10:32.488
- Terrible and stuff and you were just angry at god and you
- 00:10:32.555 --> 00:10:34.090
- Just angry at god and you are... you are thinking that,
- 00:10:34.156 --> 00:10:35.825
- Are... you are thinking that, no, that's not true. god is this
- 00:10:35.891 --> 00:10:37.526
- No, that's not true. god is this harsh god. i actually had one
- 00:10:37.593 --> 00:10:39.628
- Harsh god. i actually had one man that came to me, and i was
- 00:10:39.695 --> 00:10:41.397
- Man that came to me, and i was teaching on this very subject,
- 00:10:41.464 --> 00:10:42.998
- Teaching on this very subject, and he came and he... he
- 00:10:43.065 --> 00:10:44.633
- And he came and he... he repented, but he said prior to
- 00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:46.268
- Repented, but he said prior to the teaching that he heard, he
- 00:10:46.335 --> 00:10:48.237
- The teaching that he heard, he actually envisioned god as being
- 00:10:48.304 --> 00:10:50.773
- Actually envisioned god as being an old, old man with a long
- 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.175
- An old, old man with a long beard that was all the way down
- 00:10:53.242 --> 00:10:54.710
- Beard that was all the way down past his waist, leaning over a
- 00:10:54.777 --> 00:10:57.680
- Past his waist, leaning over a banister in heaven, with a
- 00:10:57.747 --> 00:11:00.649
- Banister in heaven, with a lightning bolt in his hand, just
- 00:11:00.716 --> 00:11:02.518
- Lightning bolt in his hand, just looking for somebody to step out
- 00:11:02.585 --> 00:11:04.720
- Looking for somebody to step out of line and boom, god was going
- 00:11:04.787 --> 00:11:06.522
- Of line and boom, god was going to zap them. god was going to
- 00:11:06.589 --> 00:11:08.124
- To zap them. god was going to hit them with sickness, with
- 00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:10.059
- Hit them with sickness, with poverty. he was going to judge
- 00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:11.794
- Poverty. he was going to judge them. he was going to remove his
- 00:11:11.861 --> 00:11:13.763
- Them. he was going to remove his fellowship from them. i'm
- 00:11:13.829 --> 00:11:15.698
- Fellowship from them. i'm getting ahead of myself. i'm
- 00:11:15.765 --> 00:11:16.866
- Getting ahead of myself. i'm going to explain this in a lot
- 00:11:16.932 --> 00:11:18.000
- Going to explain this in a lot more detail, but i'll be showing
- 00:11:18.067 --> 00:11:19.502
- More detail, but i'll be showing you under this new covenant that
- 00:11:19.568 --> 00:11:21.036
- You under this new covenant that we have that god will never hold
- 00:11:21.103 --> 00:11:23.639
- We have that god will never hold your sin against you. he will
- 00:11:23.706 --> 00:11:25.841
- Your sin against you. he will never deal with you based on
- 00:11:25.908 --> 00:11:28.043
- Never deal with you based on your sin. and if you are one of
- 00:11:28.110 --> 00:11:30.546
- Your sin. and if you are one of those people that is in a
- 00:11:30.613 --> 00:11:31.814
- Those people that is in a religious system that is
- 00:11:31.881 --> 00:11:33.282
- Religious system that is teaching that god loves us
- 00:11:33.349 --> 00:11:35.317
- Teaching that god loves us directly proportional to our
- 00:11:35.384 --> 00:11:37.686
- Directly proportional to our performance, then what i'm
- 00:11:37.753 --> 00:11:39.555
- Performance, then what i'm saying is very, very offensive
- 00:11:39.622 --> 00:11:41.557
- Saying is very, very offensive to you. but that is a
- 00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:42.992
- To you. but that is a misrepresentation of god.
- 00:11:43.058 --> 00:11:45.194
- Misrepresentation of god. and some of you'll say, now
- 00:11:45.261 --> 00:11:46.295
- And some of you'll say, now wait a minute, i can show you
- 00:11:46.362 --> 00:11:47.496
- Wait a minute, i can show you scriptures over here where it
- 00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:49.331
- Scriptures over here where it says, and unless you do this and
- 00:11:49.398 --> 00:11:51.100
- Says, and unless you do this and this and this, god won't bless
- 00:11:51.167 --> 00:11:52.735
- This and this, god won't bless you. deuteronomy, chapter 28,
- 00:11:52.802 --> 00:11:54.870
- You. deuteronomy, chapter 28, you have to observe to do
- 00:11:54.937 --> 00:11:56.405
- You have to observe to do according to all these things.
- 00:11:56.472 --> 00:11:57.807
- According to all these things. and if you do, you'll get the
- 00:11:57.873 --> 00:11:58.841
- And if you do, you'll get the blessings, but if you rebel,
- 00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:00.676
- Blessings, but if you rebel, then verses 15 through 68, all
- 00:12:00.743 --> 00:12:03.245
- Then verses 15 through 68, all of these curses are going to
- 00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:04.346
- Of these curses are going to come upon you. you're saying
- 00:12:04.413 --> 00:12:05.781
- Come upon you. you're saying something contrary to that. i'm
- 00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:07.616
- Something contrary to that. i'm saying that there was a time
- 00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.084
- Saying that there was a time that god dealt with people
- 00:12:09.151 --> 00:12:10.452
- That god dealt with people that way, and i'm going to
- 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.320
- That way, and i'm going to explain why he did it, but
- 00:12:11.387 --> 00:12:13.656
- Explain why he did it, but now he doesn't curse us
- 00:12:13.722 --> 00:12:16.592
- Now he doesn't curse us and bless us. all... god
- 00:12:16.659 --> 00:12:18.727
- And bless us. all... god took the curse for us.
- 00:12:18.794 --> 00:12:20.329
- Galatians, chapter 3, verse 13,
- 00:12:20.396 --> 00:12:22.565
- Galatians, chapter 3, verse 13, says, christ became a curse for
- 00:12:22.631 --> 00:12:24.967
- Says, christ became a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is
- 00:12:25.034 --> 00:12:26.869
- Us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
- 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:28.404
- Every one that hangs on a tree: that the blessings of abraham
- 00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:29.872
- That the blessings of abraham might come upon the gentiles
- 00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:31.640
- Might come upon the gentiles through faith. and so god
- 00:12:31.707 --> 00:12:33.509
- Has borne our curse. and so i'm
- 00:12:33.576 --> 00:12:36.679
- Has borne our curse. and so i'm saying that through... through
- 00:12:36.745 --> 00:12:38.781
- Saying that through... through jesus, deuteronomy 28:1 and 2,
- 00:12:38.848 --> 00:12:42.218
- Jesus, deuteronomy 28:1 and 2, has been fulfilled. it's not
- 00:12:42.284 --> 00:12:43.652
- Us having to hearken diligently
- 00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:45.688
- Us having to hearken diligently unto the voice of the lord
- 00:12:45.754 --> 00:12:46.856
- Unto the voice of the lord thy god. now that's the way it
- 00:12:46.922 --> 00:12:47.957
- Thy god. now that's the way it was under the old covenant.
- 00:12:48.023 --> 00:12:49.458
- I'm going to explain why he
- 00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:51.026
- I'm going to explain why he did that. i can't tell you
- 00:12:51.093 --> 00:12:51.861
- Everything i know in one
- 00:12:52.394 --> 00:12:53.395
- Broadcast. i'm talking as
- 00:12:53.395 --> 00:12:55.331
- Fast as i can. you need to get
- 00:12:55.331 --> 00:12:57.199
- These materials. i... i'm not
- 00:12:57.199 --> 00:12:58.934
- Going to explain it totally
- 00:12:58.934 --> 00:13:00.669
- Today, but there was a
- 00:13:00.669 --> 00:13:02.071
- Purpose in god doing that.
- 00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:04.039
- But under the new
- 00:13:04.106 --> 00:13:05.441
- But under the new covenant, you, if you accept
- 00:13:05.507 --> 00:13:07.743
- Covenant, you, if you accept jesus as your lord, you will
- 00:13:07.810 --> 00:13:09.578
- Jesus as your lord, you will never be cursed, because jesus
- 00:13:09.645 --> 00:13:12.147
- Never be cursed, because jesus bore that curse for you. all
- 00:13:12.214 --> 00:13:13.983
- Bore that curse for you. all that's left is the blessings.
- 00:13:14.049 --> 00:13:16.018
- That's left is the blessings. now, you have to believe in
- 00:13:16.085 --> 00:13:18.053
- Now, you have to believe in order to receive. it's not just
- 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:19.722
- Order to receive. it's not just like automatic because you're
- 00:13:19.788 --> 00:13:21.257
- Like automatic because you're born again that all of these
- 00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:22.625
- Born again that all of these blessings just automatically
- 00:13:22.691 --> 00:13:24.193
- Blessings just automatically come upon you. you do have
- 00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:26.128
- Come upon you. you do have to believe and cooperate with
- 00:13:26.195 --> 00:13:28.130
- To believe and cooperate with god, but god has redeemed you
- 00:13:28.197 --> 00:13:30.733
- God, but god has redeemed you from the curse. he's wanting to
- 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.167
- From the curse. he's wanting to do nothing but bless you and
- 00:13:32.234 --> 00:13:33.802
- Do nothing but bless you and release his power in your life.
- 00:13:33.869 --> 00:13:36.572
- Release his power in your life. and that is different than the
- 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.108
- And that is different than the way he dealt with people under
- 00:13:39.174 --> 00:13:40.576
- Way he dealt with people under the old covenant. man, i've said
- 00:13:40.643 --> 00:13:44.280
- The old covenant. man, i've said a lot of things here that has
- 00:13:44.346 --> 00:13:46.715
- A lot of things here that has either enraged people or
- 00:13:46.782 --> 00:13:48.751
- Either enraged people or confused people, and i just pray
- 00:13:48.817 --> 00:13:52.388
- Confused people, and i just pray you can stick with me until i'm
- 00:13:52.454 --> 00:13:54.490
- You can stick with me until i'm able to explain all of these
- 00:13:54.556 --> 00:13:55.891
- Able to explain all of these things. let me give you an
- 00:13:55.958 --> 00:13:56.725
- Things. let me give you an example here out of the 8th
- 00:13:56.792 --> 00:13:58.127
- Example here out of the 8th chapter of the book of john.
- 00:13:58.193 --> 00:14:00.095
- This... jesus had been teaching
- 00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:03.299
- This... jesus had been teaching on the grace of god and the jews
- 00:14:03.365 --> 00:14:05.701
- On the grace of god and the jews of jesus' day were legalists.
- 00:14:05.768 --> 00:14:08.304

- Around the dead sea, they're the ones that wrote the dead sea
- 00:14:14.076 --> 00:14:15.177

- Religious group of essenses, the whole thing was just devoted.
- 00:14:18.847 --> 00:14:20.683
- Whole thing was just devoted. it was like a commune or
- 00:14:20.749 --> 00:14:22.584
- It was like a commune or something. it was a monastery
- 00:14:22.651 --> 00:14:24.420
- Something. it was a monastery type of thing. and they were so
- 00:14:24.486 --> 00:14:27.156
- Type of thing. and they were so committed to keeping the law
- 00:14:27.222 --> 00:14:29.158
- Committed to keeping the law that they actually refused to
- 00:14:29.224 --> 00:14:31.527
- That they actually refused to have a bowel movement on a
- 00:14:31.593 --> 00:14:33.028
- Have a bowel movement on a sabbath because they considered
- 00:14:33.095 --> 00:14:34.663
- Sabbath because they considered that work. that's pretty strict.
- 00:14:34.730 --> 00:14:37.499
- That work. that's pretty strict. did you know the jews of jesus'
- 00:14:37.566 --> 00:14:38.968
- Did you know the jews of jesus' day, they counted how many steps
- 00:14:39.034 --> 00:14:40.736
- Day, they counted how many steps you could take on a sabbath day?
- 00:14:40.803 --> 00:14:43.539
- You could take on a sabbath day? and if you took more than that,
- 00:14:43.605 --> 00:14:44.940
- And if you took more than that, you were under a curse. if you
- 00:14:45.007 --> 00:14:46.842
- You were under a curse. if you did certain things, if you, you
- 00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:48.444
- Did certain things, if you, you know, just on and on, they were
- 00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:49.878
- Know, just on and on, they were so legalistic. and here came
- 00:14:49.945 --> 00:14:52.548
- So legalistic. and here came jesus, and he wasn't breaking
- 00:14:52.614 --> 00:14:55.784
- Jesus, and he wasn't breaking the law that was written in the
- 00:14:55.851 --> 00:14:57.619
- The law that was written in the word of god, but he was breaking
- 00:14:57.686 --> 00:14:59.188
- Word of god, but he was breaking their religious traditions about
- 00:14:59.254 --> 00:15:01.657
- Their religious traditions about the sabbath. he actually had his
- 00:15:01.724 --> 00:15:03.926
- The sabbath. he actually had his disciples go and walk through
- 00:15:03.993 --> 00:15:06.295
- Disciples go and walk through the grain fields. and it was a
- 00:15:06.362 --> 00:15:08.097
- The grain fields. and it was a law in those days that you could
- 00:15:08.163 --> 00:15:09.898
- Law in those days that you could walk through a field, and you
- 00:15:09.965 --> 00:15:11.233
- Walk through a field, and you could take what you could hold
- 00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:12.768
- Could take what you could hold in your own hand and eat it.
- 00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:14.536
- In your own hand and eat it. this was a way of dealing with
- 00:15:14.603 --> 00:15:15.971
- This was a way of dealing with people that needed something,
- 00:15:16.038 --> 00:15:17.806
- People that needed something, you know, the hungry and stuff
- 00:15:17.873 --> 00:15:19.608
- You know, the hungry and stuff like this. and so you could go
- 00:15:19.675 --> 00:15:20.943
- Like this. and so you could go through a field and take the
- 00:15:21.010 --> 00:15:22.644
- Through a field and take the grain and eat some of the grain,
- 00:15:22.711 --> 00:15:24.646
- Grain and eat some of the grain, but you couldn't do it on a
- 00:15:24.713 --> 00:15:25.614
- But you couldn't do it on a sabbath. that was considered
- 00:15:25.681 --> 00:15:27.082
- Sabbath. that was considered work. they considered it
- 00:15:27.149 --> 00:15:28.317
- Work. they considered it reaping. so when jesus and his
- 00:15:28.384 --> 00:15:30.419
- Reaping. so when jesus and his disciples were walking through a
- 00:15:30.486 --> 00:15:32.121
- Disciples were walking through a field and they took some grain
- 00:15:32.187 --> 00:15:33.622
- Field and they took some grain and began to rub it in their
- 00:15:33.689 --> 00:15:34.656
- And began to rub it in their hands to get the hull off so
- 00:15:34.723 --> 00:15:36.625
- Hands to get the hull off so that they could eat the grain,
- 00:15:36.692 --> 00:15:38.260
- That they could eat the grain, the pharisees said, you're
- 00:15:38.327 --> 00:15:39.595
- The pharisees said, you're breaking the sabbath. and they
- 00:15:39.661 --> 00:15:41.430
- Breaking the sabbath. and they accused him of breaking the
- 00:15:41.497 --> 00:15:42.664
- Accused him of breaking the sabbath. he didn't break
- 00:15:42.731 --> 00:15:44.266
- Sabbath. he didn't break the sabbath as it was
- 00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:45.601
- The sabbath as it was prescribed in the word
- 00:15:45.667 --> 00:15:46.702
- Prescribed in the word of god, but they broke...
- 00:15:46.769 --> 00:15:47.970
- Of god, but they broke... he broke their religious
- 00:15:48.037 --> 00:15:49.405
- He broke their religious traditions. and he said
- 00:15:49.471 --> 00:15:51.206
- In mark, chapter 7, verse 13,
- 00:15:51.273 --> 00:15:53.042
- In mark, chapter 7, verse 13, that through their traditions
- 00:15:53.108 --> 00:15:54.410
- That through their traditions they had made the word of god
- 00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.778
- They had made the word of god of none effect... so they were
- 00:15:55.844 --> 00:15:58.347
- Just constantly after jesus
- 00:15:58.414 --> 00:16:00.883
- Just constantly after jesus and they were trying to accuse
- 00:16:00.949 --> 00:16:02.818
- And they were trying to accuse him of breaking the law of
- 00:16:02.885 --> 00:16:04.586
- Him of breaking the law of moses because under the law of
- 00:16:04.653 --> 00:16:06.455
- Moses because under the law of moses, if you broke the law of
- 00:16:06.522 --> 00:16:08.490
- Moses, if you broke the law of moses, you had to be stoned to
- 00:16:08.557 --> 00:16:10.692
- Moses, you had to be stoned to death. you could be stoned to
- 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.261
- Death. you could be stoned to death depending on what the
- 00:16:12.327 --> 00:16:13.495
- Death depending on what the transgression was. and so they
- 00:16:13.562 --> 00:16:15.597
- Transgression was. and so they thought that they had jesus
- 00:16:15.664 --> 00:16:18.300
- Thought that they had jesus in a situation that was like a
- 00:16:18.367 --> 00:16:20.302
- In a situation that was like a catch-22. any decision he made,
- 00:16:20.369 --> 00:16:23.772
- Catch-22. any decision he made, he would be in trouble because
- 00:16:23.839 --> 00:16:25.307
- He would be in trouble because what they did was bring a woman
- 00:16:25.374 --> 00:16:26.842
- What they did was bring a woman taken in the very act of
- 00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:28.243
- Taken in the very act of adultery and they brought her
- 00:16:28.310 --> 00:16:30.079
- Adultery and they brought her to jesus. and they quoted
- 00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:31.380
- From leviticus, chapter 18,
- 00:16:31.447 --> 00:16:32.381
- From leviticus, chapter 18, which says that if you find
- 00:16:32.448 --> 00:16:33.882
- Which says that if you find someone in the act of adultery,
- 00:16:33.949 --> 00:16:36.285
- Someone in the act of adultery, they had to be stoned to death.
- 00:16:36.351 --> 00:16:38.987
- So when they brought this
- 00:16:39.054 --> 00:16:40.389
- So when they brought this woman to jesus, they said,
- 00:16:40.456 --> 00:16:42.191
- Moses in the law say that
- 00:16:42.257 --> 00:16:44.026
- Moses in the law say that this woman has to be stoned
- 00:16:44.093 --> 00:16:45.694
- This woman has to be stoned to death, but what do you say?
- 00:16:45.761 --> 00:16:48.497
- To death, but what do you say? and again, they thought
- 00:16:48.564 --> 00:16:49.731
- That if he did what the word
- 00:16:49.798 --> 00:16:51.733
- That if he did what the word says, the law of moses, and
- 00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:53.869
- Says, the law of moses, and if he stoned this woman to
- 00:16:53.936 --> 00:16:55.370
- If he stoned this woman to death, then all the people
- 00:16:55.437 --> 00:16:56.839
- Death, then all the people who had been following him,
- 00:16:56.905 --> 00:16:58.073
- Who had been following him, because of the mercy and the
- 00:16:58.140 --> 00:16:59.508
- Because of the mercy and the grace, and he had been teaching
- 00:16:59.575 --> 00:17:01.076
- Grace, and he had been teaching people that god is not this
- 00:17:01.143 --> 00:17:02.644
- People that god is not this angry god, god is a god of love.
- 00:17:02.711 --> 00:17:04.780
- God so loved the world that
- 00:17:04.847 --> 00:17:06.548
- God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.
- 00:17:06.615 --> 00:17:08.784
- If he extended mercy towards
- 00:17:08.851 --> 00:17:11.453
- If he extended mercy towards this woman, they would be
- 00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:12.988
- This woman, they would be able to stone him to death,
- 00:17:13.055 --> 00:17:14.523
- Able to stone him to death, because leviticus, 18, says that
- 00:17:14.590 --> 00:17:16.358
- Because leviticus, 18, says that if you don't stone a person
- 00:17:16.425 --> 00:17:17.893
- If you don't stone a person who's committed adultery, then
- 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.228
- Who's committed adultery, then you have to be stoned to death.
- 00:17:19.294 --> 00:17:21.330
- You have to be stoned to death. so they thought this is...
- 00:17:21.396 --> 00:17:22.831
- So they thought this is... either he's going to give
- 00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:25.334
- Either he's going to give mercy and not stone this
- 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.169
- Mercy and not stone this woman, and if that's what
- 00:17:27.236 --> 00:17:28.203
- Woman, and if that's what happens, then we have the
- 00:17:28.270 --> 00:17:29.371
- Happens, then we have the right to stone him to death. but
- 00:17:29.438 --> 00:17:31.106
- Right to stone him to death. but if he enforces what moses said
- 00:17:31.173 --> 00:17:33.809
- If he enforces what moses said in... in leviticus, 18, then the
- 00:17:33.876 --> 00:17:36.111
- In... in leviticus, 18, then the people that were drawn to him
- 00:17:36.178 --> 00:17:37.279
- People that were drawn to him because of the mercy and the
- 00:17:37.346 --> 00:17:38.614
- Because of the mercy and the grace and the love that he was
- 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.082
- Grace and the love that he was preaching, they would forsake
- 00:17:40.149 --> 00:17:41.750
- Preaching, they would forsake him and say, well he preaches
- 00:17:41.817 --> 00:17:42.885
- Him and say, well he preaches it, but he doesn't live it. so
- 00:17:42.951 --> 00:17:44.520
- It, but he doesn't live it. so they thought they had him any
- 00:17:44.586 --> 00:17:45.988
- They thought they had him any way that he went. so that's the
- 00:17:46.054 --> 00:17:48.490
- Way that he went. so that's the background. and so, when they
- 00:17:48.557 --> 00:17:51.627
- Background. and so, when they first asked him this, he didn't
- 00:17:51.693 --> 00:17:52.961
- First asked him this, he didn't even answer their question. he
- 00:17:53.028 --> 00:17:54.163
- Even answer their question. he just stooped down and wrote on
- 00:17:54.229 --> 00:17:56.331
- Just stooped down and wrote on the ground. and you know, i've
- 00:17:56.398 --> 00:17:57.900
- The ground. and you know, i've got some opinions about what
- 00:17:57.966 --> 00:17:59.301
- Got some opinions about what he wrote, but the scripture
- 00:17:59.368 --> 00:18:00.269
- He wrote, but the scripture doesn't say, so it's really
- 00:18:00.335 --> 00:18:01.603
- Doesn't say, so it's really speculation. i'm not going
- 00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:02.704
- Speculation. i'm not going to go there. and it says
- 00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:04.439
- In verse 7, so when they
- 00:18:04.506 --> 00:18:06.508
- In verse 7, so when they continued asking him, he lifted
- 00:18:06.575 --> 00:18:08.744
- Continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
- 00:18:08.810 --> 00:18:10.379
- Up himself, and said unto them, he that is without sin among
- 00:18:10.445 --> 00:18:12.581
- He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.
- 00:18:12.648 --> 00:18:15.617
- You, let him first cast a stone. and he stooped down, and wrote
- 00:18:15.684 --> 00:18:17.619
- And he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. and they which
- 00:18:17.686 --> 00:18:19.154
- On the ground. and they which heard it, being convicted by
- 00:18:19.221 --> 00:18:20.489
- Heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out
- 00:18:20.556 --> 00:18:22.090
- Their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the
- 00:18:22.157 --> 00:18:23.725
- One by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and
- 00:18:23.792 --> 00:18:26.228
- Eldest, even unto the last: and jesus was left alone, and the
- 00:18:26.295 --> 00:18:27.896
- Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
- 00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:30.432
- Woman standing in the midst. when jesus had lifted up
- 00:18:30.499 --> 00:18:31.767
- When jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the
- 00:18:31.833 --> 00:18:33.468
- Himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, woman,
- 00:18:33.535 --> 00:18:36.038
- Woman, he said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers?
- 00:18:36.104 --> 00:18:38.040
- Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? she
- 00:18:38.106 --> 00:18:40.576
- Hath no man condemned thee? she said, no man, lord. this wasn't
- 00:18:40.642 --> 00:18:42.945
- Just a respectful term.
- 00:18:43.011 --> 00:18:45.380
- Just a respectful term. she realized jesus had
- 00:18:45.447 --> 00:18:46.848
- She realized jesus had saved her life and she says,
- 00:18:46.915 --> 00:18:48.717
- Saved her life and she says, you,'re my lord. she just
- 00:18:48.784 --> 00:18:50.319
- You,'re my lord. she just submitted unto him.
- 00:18:50.385 --> 00:18:51.653
- No man, lord. and jesus
- 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.956
- No man, lord. and jesus said unto her, neither do
- 00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:55.524
- Said unto her, neither do i condemn thee: go, and
- 00:18:55.591 --> 00:18:56.925
- I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. so this is
- 00:18:56.992 --> 00:18:59.027
- A tremendous, tremendous...
- 00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:01.630
- A tremendous, tremendous... it shows the wisdom of god
- 00:19:01.697 --> 00:19:03.865
- It shows the wisdom of god because he didn't condemn
- 00:19:03.932 --> 00:19:05.467
- Because he didn't condemn her, but he also didn't say,
- 00:19:05.534 --> 00:19:07.903
- Her, but he also didn't say, it's okay now, adultery is fine.
- 00:19:07.970 --> 00:19:10.305
- It's okay now, adultery is fine. we're changing the rules. see,
- 00:19:10.372 --> 00:19:12.941
- We're changing the rules. see, please understand what i'm
- 00:19:13.008 --> 00:19:14.309
- Please understand what i'm saying. as i go further into
- 00:19:14.376 --> 00:19:15.844
- Saying. as i go further into this, i am not going to say that
- 00:19:15.911 --> 00:19:17.846
- This, i am not going to say that the old testament has passed
- 00:19:17.913 --> 00:19:19.414
- The old testament has passed away. i'm not going to say that
- 00:19:19.481 --> 00:19:21.116
- Away. i'm not going to say that all of the laws and all of the
- 00:19:21.183 --> 00:19:23.285
- All of the laws and all of the things prescribed in the old
- 00:19:23.352 --> 00:19:24.987
- Things prescribed in the old testament, you know, were
- 00:19:25.053 --> 00:19:26.588
- Testament, you know, were wrong, and now we've got a
- 00:19:26.655 --> 00:19:28.023
- Wrong, and now we've got a better set of rules and stuff
- 00:19:28.090 --> 00:19:30.425
- Better set of rules and stuff like that. no, i'm going to say
- 00:19:30.492 --> 00:19:32.327
- Like that. no, i'm going to say that it's fulfilled. it has been
- 00:19:32.394 --> 00:19:35.030
- That it's fulfilled. it has been completed. there was nothing
- 00:19:35.097 --> 00:19:37.266
- Completed. there was nothing inaccurate. there was nothing
- 00:19:37.332 --> 00:19:39.368
- Inaccurate. there was nothing wrong with the old testament.
- 00:19:39.434 --> 00:19:41.703
- Wrong with the old testament. but it was incomplete. the old
- 00:19:41.770 --> 00:19:44.906
- But it was incomplete. the old testament sacrifices could never
- 00:19:44.973 --> 00:19:46.908
- Testament sacrifices could never take away sins. they were only
- 00:19:46.975 --> 00:19:48.443
- Take away sins. they were only symbolic. but now we have the
- 00:19:48.510 --> 00:19:51.380
- Symbolic. but now we have the sacrifice of the true lamb of
- 00:19:51.446 --> 00:19:53.749
- Sacrifice of the true lamb of god, jesus, and he paid for our
- 00:19:53.815 --> 00:19:55.751
- God, jesus, and he paid for our sins, and because of it, there
- 00:19:55.817 --> 00:19:57.886
- Sins, and because of it, there is a change in the way that god
- 00:19:57.953 --> 00:20:00.722
- Is a change in the way that god is dealing with people. he deals
- 00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:02.190
- Is dealing with people. he deals with us now through being
- 00:20:02.257 --> 00:20:04.192
- With us now through being totally cleansed and a brand
- 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:06.194
- Totally cleansed and a brand new person. i'm going to go
- 00:20:06.261 --> 00:20:08.196
- New person. i'm going to go into more detail on this, but
- 00:20:08.263 --> 00:20:09.498
- John, chapter 4, verse 24, says,
- 00:20:09.564 --> 00:20:11.533
- John, chapter 4, verse 24, says, god is a spirit and those who
- 00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:13.001
- God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship him
- 00:20:13.068 --> 00:20:14.636
- Worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. the old
- 00:20:14.703 --> 00:20:17.372
- Testament dealt with people's
- 00:20:17.439 --> 00:20:19.374
- Testament dealt with people's outward person, their physical
- 00:20:19.441 --> 00:20:21.243
- Outward person, their physical body and their actions. the new
- 00:20:21.310 --> 00:20:23.679
- Body and their actions. the new testament, god is a spirit and
- 00:20:23.745 --> 00:20:25.781
- Testament, god is a spirit and to really relate to him, you've
- 00:20:25.847 --> 00:20:27.282
- To really relate to him, you've got to relate to him spirit
- 00:20:27.349 --> 00:20:28.483
- Got to relate to him spirit to spirit. and when you
- 00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:30.285
- To spirit. and when you make jesus your lord,
- 00:20:30.352 --> 00:20:31.420
- 2 corinthians 5:17, says,
- 00:20:31.486 --> 00:20:33.789
- 2 corinthians 5:17, says, you become a new creature:
- 00:20:33.855 --> 00:20:36.091
- You become a new creature: old things have passed away;
- 00:20:36.158 --> 00:20:37.626
- Old things have passed away; behold, all things are
- 00:20:37.693 --> 00:20:39.127
- Behold, all things are become new. that's
- 00:20:39.194 --> 00:20:40.362
- Not true in your physical body,
- 00:20:40.429 --> 00:20:41.897
- Not true in your physical body, it's not true in your mental,
- 00:20:41.963 --> 00:20:43.598
- It's not true in your mental, emotional part, but in your
- 00:20:43.665 --> 00:20:45.167
- Emotional part, but in your spirit, you are completely
- 00:20:45.233 --> 00:20:47.202
- Spirit, you are completely brand new, and you have to
- 00:20:47.269 --> 00:20:48.937
- Brand new, and you have to worship god through that born
- 00:20:49.004 --> 00:20:51.173
- Worship god through that born again spirit. it's no longer
- 00:20:51.239 --> 00:20:53.141
- Again spirit. it's no longer about all of these things
- 00:20:53.208 --> 00:20:54.576
- About all of these things that you do. now again, this
- 00:20:54.643 --> 00:20:56.978
- That you do. now again, this could be misunderstood because
- 00:20:57.045 --> 00:20:58.313
- Could be misunderstood because i'm not saying that you just
- 00:20:58.380 --> 00:20:59.948
- I'm not saying that you just all of a sudden throw caution
- 00:21:00.015 --> 00:21:01.249
- All of a sudden throw caution to the wind and start living in
- 00:21:01.316 --> 00:21:02.584
- To the wind and start living in adultery, lying, stealing, doing
- 00:21:02.651 --> 00:21:04.319
- Adultery, lying, stealing, doing anything. but no, your actions
- 00:21:04.386 --> 00:21:06.988
- Anything. but no, your actions now change as a byproduct, as
- 00:21:07.055 --> 00:21:10.025
- Now change as a byproduct, as a fruit of the changed heart
- 00:21:10.092 --> 00:21:12.160
- A fruit of the changed heart that you have. under the old
- 00:21:12.227 --> 00:21:13.995
- That you have. under the old covenant, it was like people
- 00:21:14.062 --> 00:21:15.297
- Covenant, it was like people trying to do the right thing on
- 00:21:15.364 --> 00:21:16.998
- Trying to do the right thing on the outside, hoping that that
- 00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:18.967
- The outside, hoping that that would change the inside. but
- 00:21:19.034 --> 00:21:20.869
- Would change the inside. but under the new covenant,
- 00:21:20.936 --> 00:21:22.037
- Under the new covenant, you get changed from the
- 00:21:22.104 --> 00:21:23.338
- You get changed from the inside out. and now i live
- 00:21:23.405 --> 00:21:25.741
- Inside out. and now i live a holy life as a fruit, not
- 00:21:25.807 --> 00:21:29.044
- A holy life as a fruit, not the root of salvation.
- 00:21:29.111 --> 00:21:31.346
- I've said so many things right
- 00:21:32.347 --> 00:21:34.416
- Here today that need much more
- 00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:36.651
- Explanation, and that's the
- 00:21:36.651 --> 00:21:38.019
- Reason that i'm teaching an
- 00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:39.955
- Entire series on this in my...
- 00:21:39.955 --> 00:21:42.591
- On my television programs.
- 00:21:42.591 --> 00:21:44.493
- But i'm telling you, this
- 00:21:44.493 --> 00:21:45.861
- Is essential that you
- 00:21:45.861 --> 00:21:48.397
- Understand these things.
- 00:21:48.463 --> 00:21:49.998
- And again, most people
- 00:21:50.065 --> 00:21:51.500
- And again, most people really it's like they have a
- 00:21:51.566 --> 00:21:53.402
- Really it's like they have a concept that is god the god
- 00:21:53.468 --> 00:21:55.537
- Concept that is god the god of the old testament, where
- 00:21:55.604 --> 00:21:56.738
- Of the old testament, where if you do something wrong,
- 00:21:56.805 --> 00:21:57.973
- If you do something wrong, there's going to be judgment,
- 00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.107
- There's going to be judgment, there's going to be punishment,
- 00:21:59.174 --> 00:22:00.208
- There's going to be punishment, there's rejection. or is he the
- 00:22:00.275 --> 00:22:01.877
- There's rejection. or is he the god of the new testament that
- 00:22:01.943 --> 00:22:03.311
- God of the new testament that takes a woman in the very act of
