As far as parking, 12:55.920 --> 13:00.960 just a couple of things I want to make mention of. This catty corner restaurant area that a lot of 13:00.960 --> 13:07.120 us have been able to use for parking, they're kind of transitioning because someone had vandalized 13:07.120 --> 13:08.800 as their property and so. 13:08.800 --> 13:11.520 So they're not wanting anybody to park there temporarily. 13:11.520 --> 13:15.320 And so we're trying to work out an agreement if they'll potentially allow us to still have 13:15.320 --> 13:16.320 some parking. 13:16.320 --> 13:18.700 But right now we don't have that resolved. 13:18.700 --> 13:22.480 So just please refrain from parking over there just because we don't want you to get we don't 13:22.480 --> 13:23.700 want you to get towed or something. 13:23.700 --> 13:25.280 They have signs up and everything like that. 13:25.280 --> 13:26.880 So let's just respect that. 13:26.880 --> 13:28.560 Hopefully we'll work out a deal. 13:28.560 --> 13:32.960 You still can use though this back parking lot area across the street if you need to 13:32.960 --> 13:35.200 use our parking lot until it's filled. 13:35.200 --> 13:36.800 others note though 13:36.800 --> 13:41.160 is this back portion of our parking lot. 13:41.160 --> 13:42.880 There's just like three spots 13:42.880 --> 13:46.200 that slightly overlap to our neighbor. 13:46.200 --> 13:49.240 And I guess there has been a couple times 13:49.240 --> 13:52.200 where someone with a big truck just kind of backs in 13:52.200 --> 13:55.080 and backs all the way in with their tailgate 13:55.080 --> 13:57.100 and they're just. 13:57.200 --> 14:01.680 their back of their truck kind of just almost blocking her driveway a little bit or blocking 14:01.680 --> 14:08.080 the driveway over here. So we'd please just ask like don't go past our parking area over 14:08.080 --> 14:11.120 in those three spots. If you're just parking in those three spots over there, please don't 14:11.840 --> 14:16.320 back all the way up and kind of block that area. If you could please help us with that. 14:17.680 --> 14:22.080 As far as upcoming events other than our men's conference, we're going to have a false swap. 14:22.080 --> 14:25.120 So if you have any items that you'd like to just donate to the church or if you'd like 14:25.200 --> 14:30.500 to just pick up any items.

That's the book of John chapter number 17. 19:56.500 --> 19:58.980 John chapter number 17, the Bible says, 19:58.980 --> 20:02.820 these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven 20:02.820 --> 20:06.780 and said, Father, the hour is come, glorify thy son, 20:06.780 --> 20:09.860 that thy son also may glorify thee. 20:09.860 --> 20:12.960 As thou has given him power over all flesh, 20:12.960 --> 20:16.900 that he may give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. 20:16.900 --> 20:19.420 And this is life eternal, that they 20:19.420 --> 20:22.940 might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, 20:22.940 --> 20:23.860 whom thou hast sent. 20:25.100 --> 20:27.620 I have glorified Thee on the earth. 20:27.620 --> 20:31.060 I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do. 20:31.060 --> 20:36.820 And now, O Father, glorify Thou me with Thine own self, with the glory which I had with 20:36.820 --> 20:39.360 Thee before the world was. 20:39.360 --> 20:44.580 I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest me out of the world. 20:44.580 --> 20:48.900 Thine they were, and Thou gavest them me, and they have kept Thy word. 20:51.100 --> 20:56.060 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou has given me are of thee. 20:56.060 --> 21:00.700 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, 21:00.700 --> 21:06.780 and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 21:06.780 --> 21:13.900 I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them which thou has given me, for they are thine. 21:13.900 --> 21:17.340 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine. 21:17.700 --> 21:21.940 and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world. 21:22.460 --> 21:26.500 But these are in the world and I come to thee, holy Father, 21:26.700 --> 21:29.780 keep through thine own name those whom thou has given me 21:30.500 --> 21:32.660 that they may be one as we are. 21:33.380 --> 21:36.780 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. 21:37.300 --> 21:40.900 Those that thou gave us to me, I have kept and none of them is lost. 21:40.980 --> 21:43.940 But the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled. 21:44.400 --> 21:52.400 And now come I to thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 21:52.400 --> 22:01.200 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 22:01.200 --> 22:07.600 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 22:07.600 --> 22:11.000 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 22:11.200 --> 22:15.200 sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth as 22:15.700 --> 22:20.820 Thou has sent me into the world even so have I also sent them into the world and 22:21.380 --> 22:26.980 For their sakes I sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth 22:28.240 --> 22:30.240 Neither pray I for these alone 22:30.520 --> 22:37.840 But for them also which shall believe on me through their word that they all may be one as thou father art in me 22:38.300 --> 22:45.580 and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou has sent me, 22:46.140 --> 22:52.300 and the glory which thou gavest me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one. 22:52.300 --> 22:59.020 I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfect in one, and that the world may know 22:59.020 --> 23:03.020 that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 23:04.300 --> 23:10.140 Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they 23:10.140 --> 23:15.160 may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou loveth me before the foundation 23:15.160 --> 23:16.160 of the world. 23:16.160 --> 23:22.800 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have 23:22.800 --> 23:24.220 known that thou hast sent me. 23:24.800 --> 23:30.160 and I have declared unto them thy name and will declare it that the love wherewith thou has loved 23:30.160 --> 23:36.800 me may be in them and I in them." Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for this day. 23:36.800 --> 23:40.960 I want to thank you for giving us the word of God, giving us the scripture to base our lives on and 23:40.960 --> 23:45.600 to base our church on. Thank you for our pastor. I ask you to please bless him now as he preaches 23:45.600 --> 23:50.000 your word to us. Fill him with the Holy Spirit and please help us to receive the message you've laid 23:50.000 --> 23:51.800 on his heart in Jesus name. Amen. 23:52.100 --> 23:58.260 Amen. I'm finishing this evening a series that we've done on doctrine. So if you go to our 23:58.260 --> 24:04.740 doctrinal statement, at the very end it has a list of false doctrines and the last one listed was 24:04.740 --> 24:11.220 against Pentecostal oneness and modalism being exposed, basically being against our view and 24:11.220 --> 24:15.700 belief of the Trinity. I do want to expand that just slightly this evening and I'm also going 24:15.700 --> 24:19.620 to include a little bit about what I call the Catholic view of the Trinity. 24:20.100 --> 24:23.740 And I know this sermon's gonna be very doctrinal, 24:23.740 --> 24:25.900 but I am gonna try and make some practical applications 24:25.900 --> 24:28.780 at the end, so I do wanna just kinda quickly 24:28.780 --> 24:31.700 go through some points of why I believe 24:31.700 --> 24:32.900 in our views and of the Trinity 24:32.900 --> 24:34.460 and why their view is wrong. 24:35.340 --> 24:38.500 When it comes to Pentecostal oneness or modalism, 24:38.500 --> 24:42.780 essentially they just believe that God is a singular entity 24:42.780 --> 24:45.060 that manifests himself in different modes. 24:45.060 --> 24:46.920 That would be the idea of modalism. 24:46.920 --> 24:48.100 So there's not three sep- 24:48.100 --> 24:50.100 There's not three separate minds. 24:50.100 --> 24:54.100 There's not three separate, you know... 24:54.900 --> 24:57.600 Persons is really the best word we can use. 24:57.600 --> 24:59.860 Three selves for their view of the Trinity. 24:59.860 --> 25:01.980 There's just one self that's manifested himself 25:01.980 --> 25:03.980 as a father, as a son. 25:03.980 --> 25:05.860 And again, when it comes to modalism, 25:05.860 --> 25:07.900 there's been times in past where they'd say 25:07.900 --> 25:10.700 he's only at one mode at a particular time. 25:10.700 --> 25:13.420 The most modern view, the Pentecostal oneness view, 25:13.420 --> 25:15.340 or current modalism view, 25:15.340 --> 25:18.540 says he can be in all three modes simultaneously. 25:18.540 --> 25:20.220 In many cases, some will even say 25:20.220 --> 25:22.340 that he's not even limited to these three modes 25:22.340 --> 25:22.900 and could... 25:22.900 --> 25:26.340 manifest himself as Aunt Jemima, you know, cook you up some pancakes. 25:26.340 --> 25:30.340 So, you know, there's definitely a lot of views here, 25:30.340 --> 25:33.060 a lot of different variations to some degree. 25:33.060 --> 25:38.420 But the essence is, is God really three persons, three distinct persons? 25:38.420 --> 25:42.580 Is he really three selves or is he just this one entity 25:42.580 --> 25:46.740 that's just one thing pretending to be three essentially? 25:46.740 --> 25:49.540 And of course, then the... 25:49.800 --> 25:55.360 logical conclusion for these individuals is have you been baptized in Jesus name? 25:55.360 --> 25:59.900 Okay, and then they'll slap you around and dunk you and they have to they will 25:59.900 --> 26:05.880 baptize in Jesus name only because they don't believe that he's really the 26:05.880 --> 26:09.400 father son of the Holy Ghost as three separate persons. 26:09.600 --> 26:13.760 That's just kind of by way of introduction so we know what we're talking about. 26:13.760 --> 26:16.040 So let's see what the Bible says about God though. 26:16.040 --> 26:20.640 Look at verse 4, it says, I have glorified thee on the earth, I have finished the work 26:20.640 --> 26:26.440 that thou gavest me to do, and now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with 26:26.440 --> 26:29.400 the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 26:29.400 --> 26:33.220 Now I think this is a great verse when you're talking about the Trinity to explain a few 26:33.220 --> 26:34.220 different things. 26:34.220 --> 26:37.320 Number one, the Bible says that the Father has his own self. 26:37.800 --> 26:42.120 So how could I read this verse and then say that they're not having separate selves 26:42.680 --> 26:46.680 when the text plainly states that the father has his own self. 26:47.320 --> 26:49.160 So it couldn't really get any clearer. 26:49.800 --> 26:54.280 And notice that the timeline that we're talking about here, he says, 26:54.280 --> 26:59.080 thine own self, he says, with the glory which I had with thee, 26:59.080 --> 27:01.240 notice this, before the world was, because some people will say, 27:01.240 --> 27:02.600 oh, well, this is talking about the incarnation. 27:03.500 --> 27:07.500 Like the Father has his own self and then Jesus has his like incarnated self and that's separate. 27:07.500 --> 27:10.060 No, he's talking about a timeline before the incarnation. 27:10.060 --> 27:14.940 He's talking about before the world even existed that the Father had his own self and had glory 27:14.940 --> 27:19.260 and the Son was with him and he had glory and they shared this glory together. 27:19.260 --> 27:22.780 So they have this similar glory. He says, glorify thou me with thine own self 27:22.780 --> 27:25.100 with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 27:25.100 --> 27:29.340 So he's wanting the same glory that he had that Jesus had prior to. 27:30.200 --> 27:32.200 the creation of the world. 27:32.200 --> 27:34.200 And this couldn't really get any clearer. 27:34.200 --> 27:38.700 So what do we believe? We believe that God is three distinct persons. 27:38.700 --> 27:42.700 And one of the ways that we understand this is that they have their own names. 27:42.700 --> 27:44.700 Look what it says in verse 11. 27:44.700 --> 27:48.700 And I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee, 27:48.700 --> 27:52.100 Holy Father, keep them through thine own name. 27:52.500 --> 27:55.500 those whom thou has given me that they may be one as we are. 27:55.500 --> 28:00.500 If they're all the same entity, there's no distinction in persons, 28:00.500 --> 28:03.500 why would the son say this is thine own name? 28:03.500 --> 28:05.500 Like, wouldn't it be his name too? 28:05.500 --> 28:10.500 Because if there's no distinction, then you can't have separate names 28:10.500 --> 28:13.500 and you can't say your own self, you can't say your own name. 28:13.500 --> 28:15.500 None of those things even make sense. It would be all a lie. 28:16.000 --> 28:18.000 And of course, Jesus is not lying. 28:18.000 --> 28:20.300 We're getting into some of the most intimate details 28:20.300 --> 28:22.700 in John chapter 17, between the Father and the Son, 28:22.700 --> 28:23.900 how they love each other. 28:23.900 --> 28:26.100 Of course, it would make their love a sham. 28:26.300 --> 28:30.460 because it's just ultimately somebody talking about how much they love themselves apparently, 28:30.460 --> 28:37.100 you know, by their own logic. So, you know, really the Gospel of John gives us a really good in-depth 28:37.100 --> 28:42.700 look at the distinction between the Father and the Son, and we see, hey, they love each other, 28:42.700 --> 28:47.260 they have their own selves, they have their own names, and of course when we include the Holy 28:47.260 --> 28:52.700 Ghost, it's the same. The Holy Ghost has His own self, the Holy Ghost has His own name, 28:52.700 --> 28:54.300 And of course there's love between. 28:54.300 --> 28:56.600 the Father, the Spirit, and the Son. 28:56.600 --> 28:59.900 And so all of these attributes carry between all three. 28:59.900 --> 29:05.380 However, we're just emphasizing and focusing in on the two in this particular moment. 29:05.380 --> 29:09.240 But let's go to John chapter 6, go back for a moment, and not only does the Bible say 29:09.240 --> 29:13.820 they have their own self, not as the Bible only say they have their own name, the Bible 29:13.820 --> 29:16.480 describes a separation of wills. 29:16.480 --> 29:22.280 And again, I'll go to John chapter 6 specifically because many times in other sections of Scripture 29:22.280 --> 29:22.300 you 29:22.300 --> 29:24.800 that clearly differentiate wills, 29:24.800 --> 29:28.800 they still try to have a weasel their way out of argument. 29:28.800 --> 29:30.460 So in the Garden of Gethsemane, 29:30.460 --> 29:31.300 when Jesus Christ says, 29:31.300 --> 29:33.260 not my will, but thine be done, 29:33.260 --> 29:36.360 they'll say, oh, well, that's Jesus distinguishing 29:36.360 --> 29:39.940 between his quote human will and his divine will, 29:39.940 --> 29:44.360 which this is a weird way to interpret the Bible. 29:44.900 --> 29:47.500 The Bible never makes this distinction. 29:47.500 --> 29:49.700 This is something that they're bringing to the text. 29:49.700 --> 29:53.100 And it's coming from an idea of what they call the hypostatic union. 29:53.100 --> 29:53.700 Okay. 29:53.700 --> 29:57.400 And they'll say, oh, well, Jesus has these two wills, you know, fused together. 29:57.400 --> 29:58.700 He has this divine will and human will. 29:58.700 --> 30:02.400 And then they'll tell you which one he meant, you know, throughout the scripture. 30:02.400 --> 30:06.500 Whereas the Bible doesn't really make a distinction of will within the person of Jesus Christ. 30:06.500 --> 30:09.900 It's not talking about some kind of a bipolar experience. 30:09.900 --> 30:12.500 We never have that brought up in any kind of sense. 30:12.500 --> 30:12.900 Gill BarnhillDE Klim argued 30:16.540 --> 30:12.900 involves Vik Narayan importantes 30:20.140 --> 30:12.900 geniusだけ 30:23.840 --> 30:12.900 있죠 30:29.760 --> 30:12.900 Onion 30:12.900 --> 30:17.860 reasons arguing amongst themselves or combating this in and of themselves. 30:17.860 --> 30:23.540 So you know, but why I go to John six is because from a timeline perspective, we're not even 30:23.540 --> 30:25.420 bringing up the incarnation. 30:25.420 --> 30:27.220 We're talking about a separation of wills. 30:27.220 --> 30:31.780 And so this totally destroys their idea that there's no such thing as separate wills. 30:31.780 --> 30:34.980 When you look at what it says in verse number 38, it says for this is Jesus speaking for 30:34.980 --> 30:36.420 right came down from heaven. 30:36.900 --> 30:43.100 not to do mine own will but the will of him that sent me so again I 30:43.900 --> 30:49.100 Came down from heaven that is prior to the incarnation if he's coming down from heaven 30:49.100 --> 30:52.680 He's not incarnated yet because the incarnation is being in Mary's womb 30:53.020 --> 30:56.460 So he's coming down from heaven and why is he coming down from me? 30:56.460 --> 31:01.540 He's giving you the motivation and the reason why he came down from him. Why did he come down from heaven? 31:01.540 --> 31:03.540 Not to do his own will 31:04.000 --> 31:07.920 How is that even possible if there's only one will? 31:07.920 --> 31:10.160 It's possible because he's saying, 31:10.160 --> 31:13.520 hey, the father is the one sending me. 31:13.520 --> 31:15.760 If Jesus came of his own will, 31:15.760 --> 31:18.160 then that sentence doesn't even make sense. 31:18.160 --> 31:20.720 Yet the Bible says so many times 31:20.720 --> 31:23.360 that the father is the one that sent the son. 31:23.360 --> 31:26.080 So there has to be a distinction in wills 31:26.080 --> 31:27.520 for that statement to even be true. 31:28.300 --> 31:35.300 If the father is, if you just go somewhere and your dad didn't tell you to, that's not doing your father's will. 31:35.300 --> 31:38.700 If your dad says go somewhere and then you go, now you're doing your father's will. 31:38.700 --> 31:43.500 But there has to be a distinction in will, otherwise that statement can't even be true. 31:43.500 --> 31:48.400 So of course we have Jesus coming down from heaven, not to do his own will, but the will of him that sent him. 31:48.400 --> 31:50.600 And notice this in verse 39, it gets really clear. 31:50.600 --> 31:54.900 And this is the father's will which hath sent me. 31:55.100 --> 31:57.100 I mean, how much clearer can you get? 31:57.100 --> 32:08.100 Hey, hey, this is what God the Father's will was, and He's sending me, and it's not my will, and it was His will, and that's why I came down from heaven. 32:08.100 --> 32:11.100 It just completely shatters all of their ideas. 32:11.100 --> 32:20.100 And of course, then they'll just throw all these labels, you're polytheistic now, or you're tritheistic now, or they just throw all these labels, and it's like, how can I be wrong for just quoting the Bible? 32:22.400 --> 32:28.140 Like, you can call me whatever you want, Muslim and a Jew and every other, you know, criticism 32:28.140 --> 32:29.580 they want to label you as. 32:29.580 --> 32:32.140 Oh, you're bringing up ancient heresies. 32:32.140 --> 32:34.300 I'm just bringing up what the text says. 32:34.300 --> 32:39.340 The text says this is the Father's will and the Son has his own will and he's not coming 32:39.340 --> 32:42.580 down from heaven to do his own will, but the will of God... 32:42.580 --> 32:44.380 Well, but you don't, you just don't understand philosophy. 32:44.380 --> 32:46.460 Well, it sounds like your philosophy is trash. 32:47.900 --> 32:53.380 Yeah, I get that Greek philosophy before it was even introduced to Christianity believed 32:53.380 --> 32:54.700 in this one will. 32:54.700 --> 32:55.700 But guess what? 32:56.800 --> 32:58.000 They were wrong. 32:58.000 --> 32:59.500 And so I don't, you know what I don't need to do? 32:59.500 --> 33:02.300 I don't need to marry Greek philosophy with the Bible. 33:02.300 --> 33:03.100 You know what I can do? 33:03.100 --> 33:06.000 I can correct Greek philosophy with the Bible. 33:06.000 --> 33:08.200 Instead of trying to marry the two 33:08.200 --> 33:10.700 so as to appease a Greek audience. 33:10.700 --> 33:12.500 Oh, it's surprising the whole world's Greek 33:12.500 --> 33:14.400 when the New Testament comes into play. 33:14.400 --> 33:16.800 And so some people marry the two ideas 33:16.800 --> 33:19.300 and came up with bad theology 33:19.300 --> 33:22.300 and bad views of who God is because they're not safe. 33:22.300 --> 33:23.700 That seems totally reasonable. 33:23.700 --> 33:24.800 I wonder if, I don't know. 33:24.800 --> 33:29.320 Oh, maybe the New Testament warns me about philosophy. 33:29.320 --> 33:31.800 Oh yeah, there's verses directly saying 33:31.800 --> 33:34.880 to be warned of philosophy and tradition 33:34.880 --> 33:37.280 and man's ideas of who God is 33:37.280 --> 33:39.880 and how you can't find out who the true God is 33:39.880 --> 33:41.080 through wisdom. 33:41.080 --> 33:42.720 It's through the scripture that we understand 33:42.720 --> 33:44.800 who the true God of the Bible is, okay? 33:45.700 --> 33:49.460 So there's a lot to preach on, there's a lot to talk about, but I'm just showing very clearly 33:49.460 --> 33:54.420 the distinction. It says that of all that, of all which He hath given me, I should lose nothing, 33:54.420 --> 33:59.140 but raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of Him that sent me, that everyone 33:59.140 --> 34:02.500 would see the Son and believe it on Him, may I have everlasting life, and I'll raise Him up at 34:02.500 --> 34:09.700 the last day. So again, we see this distinction of will. Now, I want to go to 1 John chapter number 34:09.700 --> 34:12.700 We'll go to 1 John chapter number three. 34:13.700 --> 34:20.900 Now, I would say this, and other authors and other people have said the same thing as me. 34:20.900 --> 34:26.980 You know, I could just quote what Matthew Henry and his commentary said 400 years ago 34:26.980 --> 34:33.860 on John chapter 6 verse 38. And he said, not that Jesus and the Father have a competition of wills though. 34:34.700 --> 34:38.900 You know, yeah, Jesus may have his own separate will from the Father, 34:38.900 --> 34:41.300 but they're not in competition with one another, 34:41.300 --> 34:44.700 and they're in perfect unity, and they're in perfect submission. 34:44.700 --> 34:47.400 You know, the Son is in perfect submission to the Father's will. 34:47.400 --> 34:51.100 So therefore, you could argue they have one will, 34:51.100 --> 34:53.700 in the sense that it's always perfectly aligned. 34:53.900 --> 34:59.400 You could argue that they have one mind in the sense that it's always in perfect unison 34:59.400 --> 35:03.700 and they have the same attitudes, the same ideas, the same vision, the same... 35:03.700 --> 35:06.400 I mean, in some senses it is the same. 35:06.400 --> 35:10.000 But what it's not is it's not technically and literally the same. 35:10.000 --> 35:11.500 We still have a separation. 35:11.500 --> 35:17.900 They still have their own set of consciousness and because of that, hey, there's a separation in wills. 35:17.900 --> 35:21.400 Now, when we look at 1 John chapter number 3, 35:21.700 --> 35:26.700 You know, this is where people get mad at our particular view. 35:26.700 --> 35:33.700 And I'm kind of differentiating again now from modalism into a Catholic view, because we've already destroyed modalism. 35:33.700 --> 35:36.700 Like, we don't even need to go anywhere else. Like, we've totally just debunked it. 35:36.700 --> 35:42.700 Like, hey, they have their own separate wills, their own separate selves, their own separate names. 35:42.700 --> 35:44.700 I mean, what else do you need at this point? Okay? 35:45.000 --> 35:47.400 But then the Catholics will come along and they'll say, 35:47.400 --> 35:50.400 well, yeah, there are three distinct persons, 35:50.400 --> 35:53.700 but person doesn't really mean person. 35:53.700 --> 35:55.200 And you're like, okay, what's a person? 35:55.200 --> 36:00.100 And they're like, well, a person is not what you think a person is. 36:00.100 --> 36:02.200 And you're like, oh, okay, well, then what's a person? 36:02.200 --> 36:04.300 Well, it's not what you think. 36:04.300 --> 36:05.700 I get that, but tell me what it is. 36:05.700 --> 36:06.600 And they won't tell you what it is. 36:06.600 --> 36:07.900 They have no definition. 36:07.900 --> 36:08.700 Okay? 36:08.700 --> 36:11.300 I'll just tell you, Catholics have no definition of a person. 36:11.300 --> 36:12.200 Zero. 36:12.400 --> 36:15.200 But you say, okay, then what's the difference between the Father and the Son? 36:15.200 --> 36:18.000 And they say, relation of origin. 36:18.000 --> 36:19.400 Like, what does that mean? 36:19.400 --> 36:23.200 It's like, well, the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Father is not begotten, 36:23.200 --> 36:25.400 and the Spirit proceeds from the Father. 36:25.400 --> 36:30.800 And you're like, okay, so then, you know, what is the difference? 36:30.800 --> 36:33.000 And it's like, well, the relation of origin. 36:33.000 --> 36:34.600 It's like, well, Jesus doesn't have an origin. 36:34.600 --> 36:36.400 It's like, you're right. 36:36.400 --> 36:37.400 So what's the difference? 36:37.400 --> 36:38.800 This is the word game. 36:39.200 --> 36:42.400 And then you're like, okay, then does a person have a mind? 36:42.400 --> 36:45.600 No. Does it have a will? No. Does it have a name? No. Does it have anything different? 36:45.600 --> 36:47.680 Like is there anything different? And they're just like, no. 36:48.640 --> 36:52.960 So there's nothing different. And you're just like, well, how is this not oneness? 36:53.500 --> 36:55.500 And then they're like, well, we say three persons. 36:55.500 --> 37:01.260 So it's basically, you take modalism and you just say three persons, now you're Catholic. 37:01.260 --> 37:07.980 Okay, that's really the Catholic theologian version of the Trinity is this divine simplicity, 37:07.980 --> 37:14.220 hypostatic union type of a theology that's mostly coming from Saint Augustine and then 37:14.220 --> 37:18.220 revised by Thomas Aquinas. And again, Thomas Aquinas is in around the 1200s. 37:19.000 --> 37:23.960 and his view is basically just Greek philosophy with Christian labels. 37:23.960 --> 37:28.360 Okay? And again, what is important about this is they believe 37:28.360 --> 37:31.800 at the root level that God is not a person, he's attributes. 37:31.800 --> 37:32.520 Okay? 37:32.600 --> 37:37.960 So you want to understand, divine simplicity is the most retarded doctrine that makes no sense 37:37.960 --> 37:40.520 and is very difficult to even explain to anybody. 37:40.520 --> 37:43.320 So I'm just boiling it down to what it really means. 37:43.320 --> 37:46.360 Divine simplicity just means God has attributes, he's not a person. 37:46.360 --> 37:49.640 So they'll say, God doesn't have love, God is love. 37:51.400 --> 37:53.720 What is it? God is love, okay. 37:54.440 --> 37:58.040 And then it's like, but then they'll say it, then they'll say this, but God has no emotions. 37:59.000 --> 37:59.800 What? Wait a minute. 38:00.500 --> 38:05.500 God is love, but then God has no emotions and they're like, yes. 38:05.500 --> 38:07.500 What does that even mean? You know? 38:07.500 --> 38:12.500 And you start realizing like philosophy is the dumbest thing you've ever heard in your entire life, okay? 38:12.500 --> 38:18.200 They start philosophizing and then again, God is omniscient, okay? God is all-knowing. 38:18.700 --> 38:22.500 So what they end up doing is they say, and they say God is immortal. 38:22.500 --> 38:26.700 God is immortal, God is incorporeal, God is invisible. 38:26.700 --> 38:32.900 So he has no body, no parts, no emotions. 38:32.900 --> 38:34.800 And he's just like, what is it? He's love. 38:35.900 --> 38:39.700 What is love if you have nothing to love and you're not anything? 38:39.700 --> 38:43.900 Like, love is something that's shared between something, right? 38:43.900 --> 38:45.700 Something loves something. 38:45.700 --> 38:48.500 It's silly to just be like, he just is love. 38:48.500 --> 38:50.500 What does that even mean? 38:50.500 --> 38:53.100 And again, they just make it where he's not really a person anymore, 38:53.100 --> 38:55.500 he doesn't really have a shape, he doesn't have a form, 38:55.500 --> 38:57.500 he doesn't have a place that he dwells, 38:57.500 --> 39:00.500 he just, he just, he's just attributes. 39:01.200 --> 39:06.720 Now this is where it's scary is because then they'll say since it's just attributes and one of those attributes is immortality 39:07.200 --> 39:10.400 Then they'll say that god cannot die therefore 39:11.120 --> 39:17.840 Jesus christ when he died on the cross did not die in his divinity. He died in his humanity 39:18.640 --> 39:20.400 and you're like 39:20.400 --> 39:22.400 Okay, what does that even mean? 39:22.400 --> 39:25.920 You'll hear things like the god part didn't die the human part not 39:26.480 --> 39:28.400 Okay, you're just like what? 39:28.800 --> 39:30.800 Like, what does that even mean? 39:30.800 --> 39:34.000 Okay, but here's the thing, what does the Bible say? 39:34.000 --> 39:38.400 Okay, well look at 1 John 3 verse 16, 39:38.400 --> 39:42.000 hereby perceive we the love of God 39:42.000 --> 39:43.900 because He laid down His life for us 39:43.900 --> 39:45.500 and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 39:45.500 --> 39:48.800 Doesn't the Bible say that God laid down His life for us? 39:48.800 --> 39:50.700 Well then why wouldn't I just believe that? 39:51.800 --> 39:55.000 Why don't I just believe that God died in a sense? 39:55.000 --> 39:56.760 Okay, let's go to another verse. 39:56.760 --> 39:58.240 Go to Romans chapter number six. 39:58.240 --> 40:00.000 Go to Romans chapter number six. 40:00.000 --> 40:01.160 And here's the thing. 40:02.240 --> 40:04.120 You know, don't we believe that like 40:04.960 --> 40:08.680 our salvation was acquired to us by God? 40:08.680 --> 40:11.920 If God didn't die, then who died? 40:11.920 --> 40:14.160 And how is our salvation accomplished 40:14.160 --> 40:17.000 by a non deity figure? 40:17.000 --> 40:17.600 Oh. 40:17.700 --> 40:21.940 Okay, so then a non deity figure was perfect and sinless and 40:23.220 --> 40:25.300 Performed all these miracles and forgave people sin 40:26.220 --> 40:27.740 It's like well that was the God part 40:27.740 --> 40:33.300 This is like okay, but then the God part didn't die for our sins like you know it just starts making the gospel weird 40:34.200 --> 40:37.000 And it makes Jesus weird and you're always slicing them up. 40:37.000 --> 40:39.400 And what's so silly about their little hypostatic unions is they'll say, 40:39.400 --> 40:43.000 well, hypostatic union means that Jesus is 100% God, 100% man. 40:43.000 --> 40:45.720 And you can't separate the two. And you're like, well, that sounds good. 40:46.360 --> 40:47.880 But then they separate them all day long. 40:48.440 --> 40:50.760 So it's like, well, do you even believe your own doctrine here? 40:51.400 --> 40:53.560 Because they're constantly talking about this God part, human part. 40:54.360 --> 40:56.680 He's inseparable, then okay, that sounds good. 40:57.100 --> 41:02.600 But you know, I believe, and I think the Bible's really clear, that God is an identity, not just attributes. 41:02.600 --> 41:04.300 Jesus Christ is God. 41:04.300 --> 41:14.600 It's not like, oh well, if Jesus Christ put on mortality and somehow is limited in his attributes through that experience, he's now not God or something. 41:14.600 --> 41:16.300 Jesus Christ is God, period. 41:16.800 --> 41:22.400 Okay, and they'll act like you're saying something blasphemous to say that when Jesus was on this earth, 41:22.400 --> 41:26.000 that he didn't have every single attribute that we attribute to God. 41:26.000 --> 41:30.200 But I'm going to explain why that cannot be reality. 41:30.200 --> 41:35.000 Okay, now Romans chapter 6, look what it says in verse number 8. 41:35.000 --> 41:38.600 Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 41:38.600 --> 41:41.200 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, 41:41.200 --> 41:42.200 die if no more 41:42.700 --> 41:49.260 Death hath no more dominion over him, for in that he died, he died unto sin once, but 41:49.260 --> 41:52.060 in that he liveth, he liveth unto God." 41:52.060 --> 41:54.220 The Bible says that Christ died. 41:54.220 --> 41:55.860 Christ is the Holy One. 41:55.860 --> 42:00.860 How are we going to sit here and say, oh, well, God didn't die, but Christ did, so now 42:00.860 --> 42:03.600 Christ isn't God? 42:03.600 --> 42:08.080 Because when you start creating these ideas, you end up having a completely weird heresy 42:08.080 --> 42:09.500 that the Bible actually does talk about. 42:10.000 --> 42:17.800 Okay, to say that God died is not some kind of a sentence that the Bible contradicts. 42:17.800 --> 42:21.960 Of course, in 1st Timothy chapter number 6, in other places, the Bible talks about God 42:21.960 --> 42:22.960 being immortal. 42:22.960 --> 42:24.060 But you know what? 42:24.060 --> 42:26.660 We're talking about the Father in those passages. 42:26.660 --> 42:28.200 And of course, the Father did not die. 42:28.200 --> 42:30.920 The Father has never died, and the Father is immortal. 42:30.920 --> 42:34.800 But the Bible says that the Son became flesh so that He could die. 42:35.400 --> 42:39.600 And you know what? Jesus was deity while in the flesh. 42:39.600 --> 42:45.600 He didn't cease being God, even though he may not have all the same attributes at that moment. 42:45.600 --> 42:49.000 Okay, let's let's prove the attributes argument. 42:49.000 --> 42:55.100 Let's go to I think it's Mark chapter number 13 is what I want. 42:55.100 --> 42:56.500 Trying to remember this one off the top of my head. 42:56.500 --> 42:58.200 I think it's Mark chapter 13. We'll find it. 42:58.200 --> 42:59.100 All right. 43:01.600 --> 43:05.600 Because again, what is one of the attributes that we of course know the Bible says about God? 43:06.560 --> 43:12.720 That he's omniscient. He's all-knowing. Okay? Omnipotent would be another one. That he's all-powerful. 43:13.680 --> 43:18.880 Do we really, are we really supposed to believe that Jesus Christ was omnipotent and omniscient 43:18.880 --> 43:24.960 while on earth? I mean, why was he even learning as a child if he's omniscient? If he's all-knowing? 43:24.960 --> 43:27.920 If he's all-powerful at that moment in time? You know? 43:28.200 --> 43:30.200 Look at Mark chapter number 13. 43:34.700 --> 43:40.700 Yeah, verse 32, the Bible says, but of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 43:40.700 --> 43:45.700 no not the angels which are in heaven, neither the son but the father. 43:45.700 --> 43:49.700 How can you be omniscient and make this statement? 43:49.700 --> 43:54.700 Okay, so now you're stuck in a really weird land if you're these Catholic people, okay, 43:54.700 --> 44:00.700 because either A, Jesus is lying, well, he was just talking about his human part. 44:01.000 --> 44:03.000 But that doesn't seem like a lie. 44:03.000 --> 44:08.000 If I was sitting here like, I do know the day and hour, but the sun doesn't, wink, wink, you know. 44:08.000 --> 44:12.000 It's like, well, who's the sun? You know, like, what are you talking about? 44:12.000 --> 44:18.000 You know, it's just like, hey, do you know the day? It's like, no, I just don't know the day or hour. 44:18.000 --> 44:24.000 So wouldn't that just show that Jesus Christ had some limitations while in the flesh? 44:24.000 --> 44:25.000 That just makes sense. 44:25.300 --> 44:27.300 It just makes sense that he had some limitation. 44:27.300 --> 44:28.100 Let's prove it even more. 44:28.100 --> 44:30.900 Let's go to Hebrews chapter number two, go to Hebrews chapter number two. 44:30.900 --> 44:33.700 But see, this is when they start saying, oh, you're teaching heresy 44:33.700 --> 44:35.860 because now you're making Jesus not God. 44:35.860 --> 44:37.620 No, because God isn't attributes. 44:38.180 --> 44:41.460 See, they try to get you to accept some faulty premise 44:42.020 --> 44:45.300 so then they can teach you a false doctrine. 44:45.300 --> 44:48.020 They'll say, God is attributes. 44:48.020 --> 44:49.540 He is attribute of. 44:50.100 --> 44:55.380 all-knowing, so then if you decide that he's not all-knowing in some point in his humanity, 44:55.380 --> 45:01.780 that he's now not God. It's like, but I never agreed to that. Jesus Christ is God in identity, 45:01.780 --> 45:08.260 not in attribute, only. Okay? Obviously, when not in the incarnated experience, we get, 45:08.260 --> 45:11.780 yeah, he had all those attributes. I'm not trying to strip him of those attributes, 45:11.780 --> 45:16.180 but hey, in the human experience, the Bible is not teaching he had immortality. 45:16.600 --> 45:19.800 Because that's the whole reason why he came is so he could die. 45:19.800 --> 45:23.720 Look at Hebrews chapter number two and look at verse number nine. 45:23.720 --> 45:26.680 But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering 45:26.680 --> 45:29.480 of death, crowned with glory and honor that he by the 45:29.480 --> 45:31.880 grace of God should taste death for every man. 45:31.880 --> 45:35.240 When it says a little lower than the angels what does it mean? It's meaning by 45:35.240 --> 45:37.800 the body upon which he took himself. 45:37.800 --> 45:41.200 that he's not at the same level as an angel, 45:41.200 --> 45:46.200 it's he's lower in the aspect of the composition. 45:46.200 --> 45:48.300 It's talking about the composition in the sense. 45:48.300 --> 45:51.400 And it's saying, obviously the angels aren't dying, apparently. 45:51.400 --> 45:54.200 So he's saying, hey, he's being lower than the angels 45:54.200 --> 45:57.200 in a mortal state so that we... 45:57.500 --> 46:01.400 could also have resurrection so that the mortal could die, 46:01.400 --> 46:05.000 so that then we could have sharing his what? Resurrection. 46:05.000 --> 46:06.800 He could die so then he could rise again. 46:06.800 --> 46:09.600 If he can't die, then he can't rise again. 46:09.600 --> 46:15.000 But he did die so that we could also die and be risen again with him. 46:15.000 --> 46:17.500 All right, so this is a really important idea 46:17.500 --> 46:20.100 that he was able to be putting on mortal flesh. 46:20.100 --> 46:23.800 1 Corinthians chapter number 15 talks about the mortal versus the immortal. 46:23.800 --> 46:25.400 And so we understand the more... 46:25.500 --> 46:27.700 is the idea of you being capable of dying. 46:27.700 --> 46:30.380 One day we'll put on immortality, okay? 46:30.380 --> 46:32.620 But right now we are in a mortal body, 46:32.620 --> 46:35.020 in a mortal flesh, and we can die. 46:35.020 --> 46:38.340 Here in chapter two, look at verse 14. 46:38.340 --> 46:39.660 For as much then as the children 46:39.660 --> 46:41.580 are partakers of flesh and blood, 46:41.580 --> 46:44.460 he also himself likewise took part of the same, 46:44.460 --> 46:45.700 that through death. 46:45.800 --> 46:54.100 He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil, and deliver them who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 46:54.100 --> 47:04.100 So we're all, in some ways, subject to the idea that, hey, we're going to die one day, our bodies are mortal, we have a limitation, we're flesh and blood. 47:04.100 --> 47:08.900 And so Jesus Christ did the exact same thing. He put on flesh and blood. 47:09.200 --> 47:12.900 He was made flesh. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. 47:12.900 --> 47:17.300 And of course, in that state, the Bible makes it clear, hey, he's a baby. 47:17.300 --> 47:22.700 You know, we're not Muslims where we think after Jesus was born in Bethlehem's manger, 47:22.700 --> 47:26.000 he's like, hey Mary, how's it going? 47:26.000 --> 47:28.800 You know, that's like a Muslim view. 47:28.800 --> 47:32.200 Is that Jesus is having full sentences right out of the womb. 47:32.200 --> 47:34.500 Okay. Because think about it. 47:34.500 --> 47:37.000 If he didn't lose any of his attributes, 47:37.400 --> 47:40.760 Then of course, I mean, he could have spoke Mandarin to them, right? 47:40.760 --> 47:43.000 According to the Muslims, according to their view, 47:43.000 --> 47:45.240 he might as well just start speaking Mandarin. 47:45.240 --> 47:46.840 He could tell them anything and everything. 47:46.840 --> 47:48.200 He could do anything and everything. 47:49.160 --> 47:52.280 But wait a minute, that's just not what the Bible's teaching is it? 47:52.400 --> 47:56.560 Teaching he really became a baby. He really had to grow up. He really had to learn 47:56.740 --> 48:00.480 He really submitted himself to his parents. He really experienced pain 48:00.760 --> 48:05.320 You know all these different things that he's going through so they could know what it was like to be like us 48:05.760 --> 48:08.560 So he could know what it was like being us. Okay? 48:10.080 --> 48:12.080 I want to look at I 48:12.080 --> 48:16.400 want to go to first John chapter 4 because this point is very important that he took on flesh and blood and 48:16.920 --> 48:18.560 and of course 48:18.560 --> 48:20.100 some people 48:20.300 --> 48:24.540 that are heretics of course by all regards 48:24.540 --> 48:27.980 not just we think they're heretics Catholics there hate think they're 48:27.980 --> 48:29.260 heretics everything's the heretics 48:29.260 --> 48:32.820 is people who would say that Jesus Christ didn't really show up 48:32.820 --> 48:36.300 in flesh and blood he just kinda is an apparition 48:36.300 --> 48:39.500 or spirit or something like this and this is a 48:39.500 --> 48:43.260 anti-christ spirit look at first on for verse number two here by no use spirit 48:43.260 --> 48:43.860 of God 48:43.860 --> 48:48.100 every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh 48:48.300 --> 48:53.500 is of God and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God 48:53.500 --> 48:58.300 and this is that spirit of antichrist where have you heard that it should come and even now already is in the world. 48:58.300 --> 49:03.900 So in some ways people would deny Jesus Christ came in the flesh. 49:03.900 --> 49:08.300 I think in some ways they're just trying to say like, oh Jesus came in a metaphor 49:08.300 --> 49:13.900 or Jesus came in a different way. 49:14.100 --> 49:16.100 And this is like, no, he really came. 49:16.100 --> 49:17.460 He was really born. 49:17.460 --> 49:18.660 He really died. 49:18.660 --> 49:20.020 He really rose again. 49:20.020 --> 49:23.060 Anybody denying that is just an antichrist. 49:23.060 --> 49:24.980 And there was a literal antichrist, 49:24.980 --> 49:26.180 a guy named Tyler Doca. 49:26.820 --> 49:28.660 He did say things like this. 49:28.660 --> 49:30.420 He said that all of history was fake. 49:30.700 --> 49:36.540 He said that Jesus did not actually come, it was all a lie, and that He was the real 49:36.540 --> 49:39.300 physical manifestation of Jesus Christ. 49:39.300 --> 49:43.900 In fact, so much so that He took all the passages about the temple's measurements and He would 49:43.900 --> 49:49.020 put like a measuring tape to His head and He would try to show you how all those measurements 49:49.020 --> 49:50.380 were His head specifically. 49:51.000 --> 49:54.840 and he got like an alpha and omega tattoo on his face or whatever. 49:54.840 --> 49:57.640 Like he couldn't have been a more anti-Christ. 49:57.640 --> 49:59.800 Like basically just like reading the Bible about anti-Christ, 49:59.800 --> 50:02.040 like taking notes like this is what I should do. 50:02.040 --> 50:04.920 Okay. But it's just crazy. 50:04.920 --> 50:07.560 And of course he said his biggest enemy is the new IFB, you know. 50:08.520 --> 50:10.040 Isn't that a coincidence, right? 50:10.680 --> 50:15.000 The most obvious anti-Christ that I've ever seen or ever heard of in my entire life. 50:16.200 --> 50:21.200 It just happens that then call out our movement specifically and say that we're his biggest enemies. 50:21.200 --> 50:23.200 Like shouldn't that be noteworthy? 50:24.100 --> 50:25.700 You would think that's noteworthy. 50:25.700 --> 50:28.260 It's kind of like, it kind of makes me think of how, you know, 50:28.260 --> 50:32.900 I crush some graven images through, you know, our children at church or whatever, 50:32.900 --> 50:35.140 and make a big deal about all these graven images, right? 50:35.140 --> 50:38.420 We smashed all of them and, and it actually got a lot of attention. 50:38.420 --> 50:40.020 Millions and millions of views. 50:40.020 --> 50:42.820 I've gotten hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Catholic emails, 50:43.380 --> 50:44.580 voicemails. 50:44.580 --> 50:47.860 They're all posting online about how I'm going to be cursed of God, 50:47.860 --> 50:50.180 and I need to be curb stomped and die and whatever. 50:50.700 --> 50:55.300 And then today, or maybe in the last 24 hours, 50:55.300 --> 50:56.740 because it was a different part of the country 50:56.740 --> 50:57.580 or a different part of the world, 50:57.580 --> 50:59.940 but I think it was literally today, 50:59.940 --> 51:02.940 a crucifix falls on a Catholic priest's head 51:02.940 --> 51:05.140 and kills him right away. 51:06.940 --> 51:10.780 He's like, oh, I'm cursed because I crushed a graven image. 51:10.780 --> 51:12.940 And then it's like, nope, actually the Catholic priest 51:12.940 --> 51:14.540 is crushed by the graven image. 51:15.300 --> 51:23.420 Okay, I mean a coincidence. I'm sure I saw one of these Catholics said this is the most dramatic death of all time 51:24.800 --> 51:30.240 And I responded, I said, actually it was Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins. 51:30.240 --> 51:34.800 You know, isn't it funny that this person's watching a crucifix, 51:34.800 --> 51:36.400 because the crucifix, what is the crucifix? 51:36.400 --> 51:43.520 It's a picture of Jesus Christ, it's like a literal 3D image of Jesus being on a cross, okay. 51:43.520 --> 51:46.800 And then the false prophet dies, and they're like, 51:46.800 --> 51:52.080 that was more important death than the actual Jesus Christ dying on the cross for their sins. 51:52.080 --> 51:52.800 I mean that's... 51:52.800 --> 51:55.600 I just go to show you that Catholics don't believe the Bible. 51:55.600 --> 51:57.120 They don't believe the gospel. 51:57.120 --> 52:00.100 They don't believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for their sins. 52:00.100 --> 52:03.600 And of course they can sit there and have a crucifix all day long, but they don't believe 52:03.600 --> 52:07.280 what Jesus did actually paid for their sins. 52:07.280 --> 52:08.280 It's crazy. 52:08.280 --> 52:09.280 It's crazy. 52:09.280 --> 52:10.280 Okay. 52:10.280 --> 52:14.960 People can just deny just clear plain reality. 52:14.960 --> 52:18.120 And of course, you know, this, this anti-Christ... 52:18.400 --> 52:21.000 You know, calling us out is not a coincidence. 52:21.000 --> 52:23.400 I don't believe it's a coincidence that this guy died either. 52:23.400 --> 52:30.200 You know, you don't give all this love to these false gods through your idols 52:30.200 --> 52:33.400 and not get recompense, okay? 52:34.900 --> 52:36.800 Their curse is going to turn upon them. 52:37.700 --> 52:40.400 I want to go to Hebrews 10. Go back to Hebrews 10. 52:40.400 --> 52:42.300 Actually, no, no, sorry, sorry. Keep your finger here. 52:42.300 --> 52:45.200 Look at chapter 5 for a moment and look at verse 4. 52:45.900 --> 52:50.140 The Bible says for what service born of God overcome at the world and this is the victory that overcome at the world even our 52:50.140 --> 52:54.060 Faith who is he that overcome at the world but he that believe it that Jesus the Son of God 52:54.340 --> 52:56.900 This is he that came by water and blood 52:57.700 --> 53:05.380 Even Jesus Christ even means specifically Jesus Christ not by water only but by water and blood 53:06.000 --> 53:08.000 added of the Spirit that beareth witness, 53:08.000 --> 53:10.300 because the Spirit is truth for there are three 53:10.300 --> 53:13.000 that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, 53:13.000 --> 53:14.500 and these three are one. 53:14.500 --> 53:16.500 So again, what is the point here? 53:16.500 --> 53:19.500 The point is that Jesus really did come physically. 53:19.800 --> 53:25.600 He really had blood and that blood was really actually shed for us 53:25.600 --> 53:29.200 and that blood was applied to the mercy seat in heaven 53:29.200 --> 53:31.500 so that we could have the forgiveness of sins. 53:31.500 --> 53:34.700 The Bible says without the shedding of blood there is no remission 53:34.700 --> 53:39.000 and if Jesus Christ did not actually physically die on the cross for our sins, 53:39.000 --> 53:40.700 well then there is no remission. 53:40.700 --> 53:46.000 But again, the Catholic Trinity wants to turn all this into just non-deity stuff. 53:46.200 --> 53:54.200 A non-deity died, a non-deity's blood was shed, and somehow this non-deity is giving us forgiveness of sins. 53:54.200 --> 53:57.200 Well then why isn't it just the blood of bulls and goats at that point? 53:57.200 --> 54:05.200 If it's just a random fleshly creation, what's the difference between some other random fleshly creation? 54:05.200 --> 54:08.200 You notice the difference? Because one's God and one's not. 54:08.200 --> 54:11.200 Okay? And it's not because of attributes. 54:11.700 --> 54:13.540 And of course, how can God die? 54:13.540 --> 54:14.900 Well, he has to put on mortality. 54:14.900 --> 54:16.500 That's how a dog can die. 54:16.500 --> 54:18.420 Obviously, he can't die in his immortality. 54:18.420 --> 54:19.380 We get that. 54:19.380 --> 54:21.380 That would be a contradiction of logic. 54:21.380 --> 54:22.660 So how does it happen? 54:22.660 --> 54:24.740 Well, God is manifest in the flesh. 54:24.740 --> 54:28.180 But obviously, him being manifest in the flesh 54:28.180 --> 54:29.620 is a mystery to some degree. 54:29.620 --> 54:33.780 How can we explain the mortal, you know, was once immortal? 54:33.780 --> 54:37.060 How can we explain that a virgin can conceive? 54:37.060 --> 54:38.980 But, you know, isn't that just the whole point of the Bible 54:38.980 --> 54:39.700 that we have to believe. 54:39.700 --> 54:41.040 some things by faith. 54:41.040 --> 54:43.920 Some things are a suspension of natural law. 54:43.920 --> 54:45.560 That would be called a miracle. 54:45.560 --> 54:49.000 Yeah, hey, God speaking the entire world into existence, 54:49.000 --> 54:51.640 isn't that sound a little bit interesting? 54:51.640 --> 54:53.360 How does that happen? 54:53.360 --> 54:54.720 I don't know. 54:54.720 --> 54:58.100 How is Jesus Christ the root and offspring of David? 54:58.100 --> 55:09.100 I don't know. How did Jesus Christ have this crazy family tree with harlots and weirdos and all kinds of crazy things going on in his family tree? 55:09.100 --> 55:17.100 I mean, you got one guy sleeping with his own daughter-in-law as Jesus Christ's own lineage, but he's the rude and offspring of David. 55:17.100 --> 55:19.000 How does a virgin conceive? 55:19.200 --> 55:22.000 No one even has any idea how that could possibly happen. 55:22.000 --> 55:23.800 How can the immortal put on immortal? 55:23.800 --> 55:24.600 We don't know. 55:24.600 --> 55:25.200 But you know what? 55:25.200 --> 55:27.200 This is what the Bible teaches. 55:27.200 --> 55:28.800 This is what the Bible says. 55:28.800 --> 55:34.300 And why would it be so difficult for me to believe that God can speak the entire world into existence, 55:34.300 --> 55:37.000 but he can't turn himself into immortal? 55:37.000 --> 55:39.400 Like, that was a bridge too far? 55:39.400 --> 55:42.400 The bridge too far was not that he spoke the entire world into existence. 55:42.400 --> 55:45.600 The bridge too far was that he could then somehow enter his own creation? 55:45.800 --> 55:51.600 Like that seems a lot more reasonable, you know, of a suspension of natural law than your version anyways. 55:51.600 --> 55:57.600 Okay. So hey, but do I, can I prove these things with scientific experiments? No. 55:57.600 --> 56:00.600 You know what? I believe them by faith. 56:00.600 --> 56:04.800 And without faith it's impossible to please him. Without faith he can't even be saved anyways. 56:04.800 --> 56:09.800 Now of course we have the Trinity being mentioned here in verse 7, very clear verse, taken out of a lot of Bibles. 56:09.800 --> 56:13.400 But notice there's three that bear a record of, not one, there's three. 56:14.200 --> 56:19.000 And what would be the point of all three of those are the exact same witness? 56:19.000 --> 56:22.340 Then there's not really any distinction here. 56:22.340 --> 56:25.640 And notice in verse 8, and there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit and 56:25.640 --> 56:27.620 the water and the blood and these three are the same. 56:27.620 --> 56:30.400 Are those three things the exact same? 56:30.400 --> 56:35.800 Why would the parallel example be of three separate things if the previous example was 56:35.800 --> 56:36.360 all the same? 56:37.100 --> 56:40.460 I mean, the spirit's different than the water, and the water's different than the blood, 56:40.460 --> 56:44.220 and the blood's different than the spirit. And it's like, these are three witnesses, 56:44.220 --> 56:49.820 but yet they agree in one. And again, that's the whole point. It's not that these three are 56:49.820 --> 56:54.940 secretly one and you didn't know it. One means unity in the Bible. Because in John chapter 17, 56:54.940 --> 57:00.060 which we read for the beginning of our sermon, it clearly says that Jesus wants us to be one 57:00.060 --> 57:03.020 with them as they are one. So are we now God? 57:03.500 --> 57:05.700 No, he's saying he wants us to be in unity. 57:05.700 --> 57:10.900 He wants us to have the same viewpoint, the same attitude, the same doctrine. 57:10.900 --> 57:13.900 He wants us to be one and unified with him. 57:13.900 --> 57:16.300 Not that we're gonna become him. 57:16.300 --> 57:20.700 Not that we're gonna turn into Transformers and become one big Transformer. 57:20.700 --> 57:23.900 Not that we're gonna get our rings together and summon Captain Planet. 57:23.900 --> 57:28.500 No, what we're talking about is that we're unified in purpose, 57:28.500 --> 57:31.500 we're unified in doctrine, we're unified in will and the... 57:31.500 --> 57:37.520 what we want to do. That's what we're talking about here. Okay. Becoming one in that sense. 57:37.520 --> 57:40.480 So the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, these three are one in what sense? That they 57:40.480 --> 57:44.500 all bear the exact same record in heaven. The Father has the exact same record of the 57:44.500 --> 57:49.440 gospel. The Lord Jesus Christ has the exact same record of the gospel. The Holy Spirit 57:49.440 --> 57:54.400 has the exact same record of the gospel. The Spirit on this earth has the same. 57:54.700 --> 58:00.780 record. The blood has the exact same record. The water has the exact same record. It's 58:00.780 --> 58:06.780 saying all points of evidence are lining up and they have the exact same story, the exact 58:06.780 --> 58:11.500 same message, the exact same, notice this word, record. Okay. Did you notice that it 58:11.500 --> 58:18.220 says specifically in verse seven, bear record, right? Bear record. And then look at verse 58:18.220 --> 58:20.260 11. And this is the record. 58:20.700 --> 58:25.500 Hey, you want to know what record the Father gives and the Word gives and the Holy Ghost 58:25.500 --> 58:26.500 gives? 58:26.500 --> 58:27.500 You want to know what that record is? 58:27.500 --> 58:31.380 And this is the record that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in His 58:31.380 --> 58:32.380 Son. 58:32.380 --> 58:35.540 He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 58:35.540 --> 58:38.260 These things have I written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that 58:38.260 --> 58:40.340 ye may know that ye have eternal life. 58:40.340 --> 58:42.220 How do I know that I have eternal life? 58:42.220 --> 58:44.580 Because of the record that God gave of His Son. 58:45.600 --> 58:48.400 And that record is contained here in the Word. 58:48.400 --> 58:52.880 And the Word has that same message, whether I read it in heaven or on earth, 58:52.880 --> 58:56.080 whether I hear it from the Father or from the Spirit or from the Son, 58:56.080 --> 58:58.400 it's all the exact same record. It's all one. 58:59.040 --> 59:01.680 It's the same gospel. It's completely unified. 59:01.680 --> 59:05.280 But is this saying that there's not three distinct persons? 59:05.280 --> 59:06.240 That wouldn't even make sense. 59:06.240 --> 59:09.040 The whole point is that there's a multiplicity giving the same record. 59:10.160 --> 59:12.960 Okay, that's the whole point. That's the whole emphasis that we have. 59:13.600 --> 59:17.900 And so again, God is not just attributes, God is a person. 59:17.900 --> 59:22.600 He is, hey, the Father is a person, the Son is a person, the Holy Spirit is a person. 59:22.600 --> 59:25.900 Okay? They have personal pronouns. 59:25.900 --> 59:27.900 They have personal names. 59:27.900 --> 59:30.000 They have personal selves. 59:30.000 --> 59:34.700 Okay? So we understand there's a difference and separate minds as the Bible describes. 59:34.700 --> 59:37.700 Go to John chapter 16 now. Go to John chapter 16. 59:40.500 --> 59:45.300 So what do we learn so far? Number one, they have, there's three persons because they have their own selves, 59:45.300 --> 59:53.900 they have their own names, they have their own wills, and think about it, if the son died, which I would contest, 59:53.900 --> 59:59.100 I've showed clearly in the Bible, that would be a difference between the immortal God, the Father, and the Son, 59:59.100 --> 01:00:03.600 because the Father did not die and the Son did die, meaning that they're separate again. 01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:06.100 Here would be another one is the separation of minds. 01:00:06.100 --> 01:00:08.900 Look at John chapter 16 and verse number seven. 01:00:08.900 --> 01:00:12.000 This is talking about the Holy Ghost. 01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:13.500 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. 01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:16.300 It is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, 01:00:16.300 --> 01:00:18.100 the Comforter will not come unto you. 01:00:18.100 --> 01:00:20.500 But if I depart, I will send him unto you. 01:00:20.500 --> 01:00:24.700 How is this possible from a oneness theology? 01:00:24.700 --> 01:00:27.800 If the spirit is Jesus. 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:31.000 Hey, you can't have me unless I go away. 01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:34.400 Then you can have me. It's just like, well, wait a minute. 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:36.400 That doesn't even make sense. You're already here. 01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:42.400 Like, hey, you can't have Pastor Shelley until Brother Shelley shows up. 01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:45.400 You know, if it's Brother Shelley, why don't you show up until I leave? 01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:48.400 You're like, what does that even mean? 01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:52.400 Are you like Superman, Clark Kent? You know, like, what's going on? 01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:55.400 Like, Superman can't show up unless Clark Kent goes away. 01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:58.400 Okay. But it's like Lois Lane's like, you're the same person. 01:00:59.300 --> 01:01:03.140 Okay, that's weird. Aren't you still superman? That's why she pulls out a gun and shoots him 01:01:03.660 --> 01:01:06.800 Because she believes he's really Superman. I mean, I don't know if you've seen the movie or not. Okay 01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:15.900 Lois Lane shoots Clark Kent because she believes that he's Superman so much so and guess what Clark Kent doesn't die cuz he's Superman 01:01:16.900 --> 01:01:19.500 But it's weird to sit here and say like hey 01:01:19.500 --> 01:01:25.520 Oh, you can't have the comforter unless I go away when they're the same person, you know, it makes sense. They're not the same person 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:27.760 Okay, it's that simple. 01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:29.440 Look at verse 13. 01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:33.520 How be it when he, the spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth, for 01:01:33.520 --> 01:01:35.760 he shall not speak of himself. 01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:39.840 But whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things that come. 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:44.240 How can the spirit not speak of himself if it's all again the same person? 01:01:44.240 --> 01:01:46.080 None of that makes any sense. 01:01:46.080 --> 01:01:50.280 And I'll be honest with you, that is the first time I ever got questioned on if I believed 01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:51.800 modalism or even heard about it. 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:53.120 This is the first verse I went to. 01:01:53.700 --> 01:01:57.700 I said, how could they all be the same person if the Spirit does not speak of Himself? 01:01:58.580 --> 01:02:02.020 Because it's just like, that's just, that's the Holy Spirit saying like, hey buddy, 01:02:02.820 --> 01:02:06.980 let me remind you what the Bible actually says. I don't even know, when someone said like, 01:02:06.980 --> 01:02:09.780 you know what, modalism, I said, I don't even know what it is. And they're like, oh, 01:02:09.780 --> 01:02:13.140 it's all the same person. Jesus is the Father, Jesus is the Holy Spirit. It's like, well, 01:02:13.140 --> 01:02:17.220 how does that work since the Holy Ghost doesn't speak of Himself? You know, it's like case in 01:02:17.220 --> 01:02:20.100 point, it's over. Okay. You've already, you've already debunked it. 01:02:20.900 --> 01:02:24.900 And again, doesn't this kind of illustrate they have separate locations? 01:02:24.900 --> 01:02:28.400 Like how is he going to be there simultaneously if he's the same person? 01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.400 He's like, hey, I got to go away so the other one can show up. 01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:33.900 That kind of shows they're in separate locations, doesn't it? 01:02:34.900 --> 01:02:38.960 How about Matthew 3 when there it's like the you have the sun in the water 01:02:39.080 --> 01:02:43.020 You have the spirit descending like a dove and you have a voice from heaven isn't that three separate locations? 01:02:43.140 --> 01:02:49.000 How about Genesis 1 go there for a moment? Let's look at the more separate locations in the Old Testament prior to the Incarnation 01:02:53.400 --> 01:02:56.800 Again, they'll say, well, God is incorporeal. 01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:59.000 I guess it depends on what we want to say there. 01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:02.800 Obviously, I don't think that he's got some mortal body like we do. 01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:04.800 That's not, that's not reality. 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:05.600 Okay. 01:03:05.600 --> 01:03:08.700 And obviously, prior to creation, you know, he's not a created being. 01:03:08.700 --> 01:03:10.600 So that can't really exist. 01:03:10.600 --> 01:03:13.600 But the Bible describes the spirit as moving. 01:03:13.600 --> 01:03:15.400 Look what it says in Genesis 1 verse 2, 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:18.300 and the earth was out, forming void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, 01:03:18.300 --> 01:03:19.800 and the spirit of God. 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:24.880 moved upon the face of the waters. Well, how the heck is something moving that doesn't even have any 01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:31.360 kind of physical body or anything? And again, maybe it's not physical in our, you know, realm 01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:37.520 of reality, but it's got to have something to move. I mean, what's moving? Nothing's moving. 01:03:38.720 --> 01:03:42.560 Yes, something's moving here. Okay. And it makes sense that in verse 28, 01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:46.000 Or verse 27, so God created man in his own image, 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.960 an image of God created he him, 01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.480 man and female created he them. 01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:51.560 Verse 26, and God said, 01:03:51.560 --> 01:03:54.000 let us make man in our image after our likeness. 01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:55.140 Who's the hour there? 01:03:56.800 --> 01:04:00.720 Oh, well, you're just creating a multiplicity. 01:04:00.720 --> 01:04:02.040 No, the Bible is bringing it up 01:04:02.040 --> 01:04:05.520 in the first chapter of the first book. 01:04:05.520 --> 01:04:07.460 You've got a spirit moving, 01:04:07.460 --> 01:04:09.420 you've got something saying hour. 01:04:09.600 --> 01:04:16.200 God saying our there's there's somehow sharing and he's making something that's looking like him. 01:04:16.200 --> 01:04:19.200 And then it's like we look like this. 01:04:19.200 --> 01:04:21.000 And he's saying, hey, man's made in his image. 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.400 Woman's not that sounds like he doesn't look like a woman. 01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:29.400 So then why is every Catholic version of Jesus got long hair like a woman? 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:30.600 Because it's not what he looks like. 01:04:30.600 --> 01:04:34.600 OK, so we've looked at a lot of different things in separate locations. 01:04:34.600 --> 01:04:36.600 Let's go to one more, go to Genesis 19. 01:04:36.900 --> 01:04:38.900 Let's see this as well. 01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:47.000 And of course some people, you know, just don't care about this, they never want to talk about it. 01:04:48.000 --> 01:04:52.000 You don't have to, you know, go this deep to serve God. 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:55.000 But you know what? Why wouldn't we want to have the right doctrine anyways? 01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:59.000 And when you do actually try to think and figure out these things, you start realizing, 01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:01.000 oh, the Catholic Church is wrong on everything. 01:05:01.700 --> 01:05:06.180 You know, they can say Trinity until they're blue in the face, but many times when you 01:05:06.180 --> 01:05:11.300 you really tie them down, they kind of believe in like a oneness version of God anyways. 01:05:11.300 --> 01:05:17.620 Makes sense they're not saved. Genesis chapter 19, this is when God is destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. 01:05:17.620 --> 01:05:23.860 Look at it in verse 24. Then the Lord reigned upon Sodom and Gomorrah, brimstone and fire, 01:05:24.420 --> 01:05:27.540 from the Lord out of heaven. Well, how does that work? 01:05:28.200 --> 01:05:30.200 Is he incarnated here? 01:05:30.200 --> 01:05:32.760 Is this another incarnation or do you have the Lord? 01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:35.440 And in fact, in this story preceding, 01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:39.000 you had the Lord appear unto Abraham and he eats. 01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:40.320 How does that work? 01:05:40.320 --> 01:05:43.080 The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ eats. 01:05:43.080 --> 01:05:44.960 How does that work? 01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:47.600 It seems like, you know, a lot of these people's view. 01:05:47.700 --> 01:05:51.260 doesn't accommodate these verses and has no explanation for these verses 01:05:51.260 --> 01:05:54.460 and then they'll criticize me for actually trying to come up with an explanation. 01:05:54.460 --> 01:05:58.020 They'll criticize people that actually have a view on this particular 01:05:58.020 --> 01:06:01.020 verse and say, well I think Jesus already 01:06:01.020 --> 01:06:04.180 had some, you know, glorified state. 01:06:04.180 --> 01:06:08.980 He had a glorified body. Wow, is that crazy? It's just a crazy idea 01:06:08.980 --> 01:06:11.980 that he's wrestling with Jacob and has a body. 01:06:12.300 --> 01:06:14.300 How else did he wrestle with Jacob? 01:06:14.300 --> 01:06:17.000 It's crazy that he ate in Genesis and has a body. 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:21.800 It's crazy that in Genesis 19 he's walking around and raining fire down from heaven. 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:24.100 That's crazy. I'm crazy for believing that. 01:06:24.100 --> 01:06:27.800 I'm crazy for believing when the spirit moved upon the face of the waters, something was moving. 01:06:27.800 --> 01:06:29.300 Right? That's crazy. 01:06:29.300 --> 01:06:32.300 How is that crazy? That's just what the Bible says. 01:06:32.300 --> 01:06:33.800 I'm just trying to explain it. 01:06:34.600 --> 01:06:37.520 And then they'll be like, ah, you believe all these ancient heresies. 01:06:37.520 --> 01:06:39.760 It sounds like there's other people who believe the Bible back then, apparently. 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:40.880 I don't know. 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:45.600 Go over to Hebrews chapter one, go to Hebrews chapter number one. 01:06:45.600 --> 01:06:48.520 You can call me whatever you want, you can whatever label you want. 01:06:48.520 --> 01:06:50.520 But hey, I affirm the Trinity. 01:06:50.520 --> 01:06:52.320 There's three persons and one God. 01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:55.040 But when I say person, you know what I mean by person? 01:06:55.040 --> 01:06:57.520 Person, yeah, exactly. 01:06:57.520 --> 01:06:59.360 You know what I mean by person? 01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:00.360 Mind. 01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:02.120 You know what I mean by person? 01:07:02.120 --> 01:07:03.720 A state of consciousness. 01:07:03.720 --> 01:07:05.160 You know what I mean by person? 01:07:05.160 --> 01:07:07.640 Hey, they have their own body, whatever that is. 01:07:07.640 --> 01:07:09.200 You know, is it a human body? 01:07:09.200 --> 01:07:11.120 No, but is it some kind of body? 01:07:11.120 --> 01:07:12.120 Yeah. 01:07:12.120 --> 01:07:14.200 Mind, will, name. 01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:16.600 I mean, what you think of a person. 01:07:16.600 --> 01:07:18.080 Why wouldn't we use a different word 01:07:18.080 --> 01:07:20.200 if person didn't mean person at all? 01:07:20.200 --> 01:07:21.800 What I'm not gonna say is it's limited 01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:23.800 to a relation of origin 01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:26.120 and then just hide behind that. 01:07:26.120 --> 01:07:27.800 And don't you think... 01:07:27.900 --> 01:07:29.900 Hey, person doesn't really mean person. 01:07:29.900 --> 01:07:32.900 Well then why don't you come up with the word that it means? 01:07:32.900 --> 01:07:37.900 Like don't you have enough, haven't you had enough time to say like, hey that's a misleading word? 01:07:37.900 --> 01:07:39.900 Then give us the right word. 01:07:39.900 --> 01:07:41.900 You know why they're not giving us the right word? 01:07:41.900 --> 01:07:45.900 Because there's no word to describe their non-definition. 01:07:45.900 --> 01:07:51.900 That's why they still just keep using the word person and then be like, but it's not what you think it means. 01:07:51.900 --> 01:07:52.900 Well what does it mean then? 01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:58.000 It's just the Catholics, it's like salvation is by faith, but faith isn't what you think it is. 01:07:58.000 --> 01:07:59.600 Faith is just works. 01:07:59.600 --> 01:08:02.600 And you're just like, okay, well what does works then? 01:08:02.600 --> 01:08:06.700 You know, like, let's just redefine every word. 01:08:06.700 --> 01:08:12.400 And this is dangerous when you're redefining the words of the language that you're speaking. 01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:16.800 Okay, why don't we just speak plainly and let the Bible mean what it means. 01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:24.300 Hebrews 1 the Bible says in verse number 3 who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and 01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.500 Upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the majesty 01:08:29.500 --> 01:08:31.240 of high again and 01:08:31.240 --> 01:08:36.920 People that get mad at me. They'll hear me read this verse and say oh they love to use this word person here 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:39.560 But that's not what person means person doesn't mean person here 01:08:41.280 --> 01:08:43.780 What does it mean then homo euseus 01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:46.800 Because that's the Greek word. 01:08:46.800 --> 01:08:48.800 And you're like, well, what does that mean? 01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:50.800 Person. 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:52.800 Okay. 01:08:52.800 --> 01:08:54.200 Homo seis, you know. 01:08:54.300 --> 01:08:56.900 It's just like, word games. 01:08:56.900 --> 01:08:59.940 How about the fact that just the son looks like the father? 01:08:59.940 --> 01:09:02.020 Isn't that just really easy to understand? 01:09:02.020 --> 01:09:03.620 And hey, I like the word person. 01:09:03.620 --> 01:09:05.660 If you want to say that God is three persons, 01:09:05.660 --> 01:09:07.300 I think it's totally biblical because the Bible talks 01:09:07.300 --> 01:09:09.300 about the person of Christ in 2 Corinthians. 01:09:09.300 --> 01:09:11.820 It talks about him being the expressed image of his person 01:09:11.820 --> 01:09:13.460 here in Hebrews, chapter number one. 01:09:13.460 --> 01:09:15.780 If you want to call themselves, I think that's biblical. 01:09:15.780 --> 01:09:18.900 You have expressively stated in John chapter 17 01:09:18.900 --> 01:09:21.340 that he has saying, hey, glorify thou me 01:09:21.340 --> 01:09:22.300 with thine own self. 01:09:22.300 --> 01:09:27.180 Of course, the word self is used to describe the distinction between the Father and the 01:09:27.180 --> 01:09:28.180 Son. 01:09:28.180 --> 01:09:31.620 Person is used to describe the distinction between the Father and the Son. 01:09:31.620 --> 01:09:36.980 Minds, wills, names, all of these things are just what the Bible explicitly teaches. 01:09:36.980 --> 01:09:38.780 Well, it doesn't sound monotheistic. 01:09:38.780 --> 01:09:42.780 Well, it sounds monotheistic to me because there's one God in these three persons. 01:09:42.780 --> 01:09:44.420 Sorry, you don't like it. 01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:46.840 Sorry you don't like God, but that's your fault. 01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:47.840 Go to Hebrews 10. 01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:49.760 I'm just going to go to a couple more places. 01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:52.040 Well I think, you know, I believe in the hypostatic union. 01:09:52.040 --> 01:09:55.720 You can believe that if you want, but here's the thing. 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.840 You can claim any term that you want, but if people are teaching things that aren't 01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:03.440 in alignment with the Bible, why would you want to cling to that term? 01:10:03.440 --> 01:10:06.320 I heard a fundamental Baptist preacher get up and say, why believe in vice simplicity 01:10:06.320 --> 01:10:07.320 as long as you define it right? 01:10:08.400 --> 01:10:11.100 And I'm like, okay, well, how do we define it then? 01:10:11.100 --> 01:10:13.200 And then he just defines it in like the exact opposite way 01:10:13.200 --> 01:10:15.200 that divine supposedly is interpreted. 01:10:15.200 --> 01:10:18.000 And I'm like, what's the point in that? 01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:19.600 What if I'm like, well, I believe in Satan. 01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:22.100 As long as when you mean Satan, you mean Jesus. 01:10:22.100 --> 01:10:24.400 You know, it's just like, why would I do that? 01:10:24.400 --> 01:10:26.300 Why would I just totally take the opposite 01:10:26.300 --> 01:10:30.200 of a word's definition and then try to embrace it? 01:10:30.200 --> 01:10:32.700 I guess so that you can be deceitful then. 01:10:33.300 --> 01:10:36.780 So then you can be like, oh, I believe in divine simplicity too, right? 01:10:36.780 --> 01:10:40.900 Yeah, we're cool. Yeah, I'm a theologian. Yeah, church fathers, brah. 01:10:42.420 --> 01:10:46.940 And then when someone calls you out on it, because it's got all this heresy attached to it, 01:10:46.940 --> 01:10:49.300 it's like, oh, well, it's my definition of it, though. 01:10:50.300 --> 01:10:53.420 It's just like the false prophet that says, yeah, salvation is by faith. 01:10:54.060 --> 01:10:55.980 But if you don't have works, do you really have faith? 01:10:57.200 --> 01:11:00.000 And when I say faith, you've got to follow the command. 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.000 Faith means following all the commandments, doing everything that God said perfectly, and never sinning. 01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:06.700 You say, wow, that's faith, really? 01:11:06.700 --> 01:11:09.400 Yeah, it's faith alone. 01:11:09.400 --> 01:11:10.300 Not of works. 01:11:10.300 --> 01:11:12.700 And you're like, what's work again? 01:11:12.700 --> 01:11:13.800 I don't know. 01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:17.000 It's just like, hey, let's not redefine words. 01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.100 If a word doesn't match what you believe, then change words. 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:26.300 What's the point of even having words if they don't actually mean what we think they mean? 01:11:26.300 --> 01:11:31.700 What's the point of having a translation if it doesn't actually mean what it says? 01:11:31.700 --> 01:11:33.800 Wouldn't you just improve the translation? 01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:36.000 Why did we refine into the King James Bible? 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:37.600 Why didn't we just stick with the bishops? 01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:38.700 Or why didn't we just stick with the... 01:11:38.700 --> 01:11:42.900 Is it because, hey, sometimes the wording wasn't as accurate? 01:11:42.900 --> 01:11:48.200 And we wanted the wording to be dialed in and saying the exact same thing as the underlying source? 01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:52.600 If it's not saying exactly what the underlying source says, then change it. 01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:55.000 Because we want the translation to match. 01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:58.000 But here's the thing, the King James says what the Greek says. 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:01.800 The King James says what the Hebrew says in the Old Testament. 01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:04.200 And you know what? Words actually mean what they say. 01:12:04.200 --> 01:12:09.200 I get mad at people constantly trying to change, well it's not what the word means. 01:12:09.200 --> 01:12:13.600 Look, there are a couple times in the Bible, in the King James Bible, 01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:15.600 where because of our modern... 01:12:15.900 --> 01:12:19.100 understanding of a word, we could get a little bit confused. 01:12:19.100 --> 01:12:23.020 I get it. I get it that, hey, there's the word nephew 01:12:23.020 --> 01:12:27.900 in 1st Timothy and it technically is referring to a grandson. And so we get a 01:12:27.900 --> 01:12:30.260 little bit confused by this one word. 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:33.960 And if someone were to say, hey, I'm going to update the King James Bible, 01:12:33.960 --> 01:12:38.360 and I'm going to fix that one word, I really couldn't throw stones at that particular person. 01:12:38.360 --> 01:12:41.240 But you know what? The people that are getting these modern Bibles, they're not fixing this 01:12:41.240 --> 01:12:47.880 handful of words. They're not changing B-Sum to broom and changing nephew to grandson. 01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:55.160 They're just taking out 11 verses in Mark. They're just taking out Acts 837. 01:12:55.900 --> 01:13:03.900 They're taking things that just make total sense, like faithful, or they're not even faithful, the ones are friends, but they're taking out like, 01:13:04.900 --> 01:13:10.900 The words of a tale-bearer go down his wounds and they turn it into something like dainty morsels, you know, it's just like, 01:13:10.900 --> 01:13:15.900 The words of a tale-bearer are his wounds and they're like, dainty morsels. It's just like, bro, you didn't help us out with that. 01:13:16.700 --> 01:13:22.460 Okay, they're changing hell into Gehenna or something, you know, or they're changing it into you know, another 01:13:22.940 --> 01:13:29.160 Word that we don't really are familiar with okay Hades or something. You're just like well, let's just stick with hell 01:13:29.700 --> 01:13:35.940 Yeah, I was in a debate with a guy and he's like when people die they go to the shadow realm 01:13:38.200 --> 01:13:43.800 The shadow realm. Is this like Dungeons and Dragons or something? Like, why can't we just say hell? 01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:50.040 I mean, it's only four letters. You know? Can you get much simpler? It's like Hades is five. 01:13:50.040 --> 01:13:56.120 Let's just drop a letter and get down to hell. You know what I mean? But obviously, you know, 01:13:56.120 --> 01:14:00.680 people want to be cool and edgy and all this. Look, just be a fundamental Baptist. 01:14:01.480 --> 01:14:03.960 You don't have to, you don't have to affirm divine simplicity. 01:14:04.500 --> 01:14:08.100 You don't have to affirm all these Catholic theological terms. 01:14:08.100 --> 01:14:10.300 You know what? Let's just believe what the Bible says. 01:14:10.300 --> 01:14:13.300 And who cares about these labels? Who cares about the church fathers? 01:14:13.300 --> 01:14:16.100 Most of them are probably dead and in hell anyways, okay? 01:14:16.500 --> 01:14:18.500 I would love for some of them to be saved. 01:14:18.500 --> 01:14:20.500 Like, I would love for John Chris's dome to be saved. 01:14:20.500 --> 01:14:22.500 I just want to give him a high five about what he said about facts. 01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:25.500 He's like, the guy is based on that issue, okay? 01:14:25.500 --> 01:14:28.500 And I'm sure that there's probably some that are. 01:14:28.500 --> 01:14:30.500 This is probably in the first century or something. 01:14:30.500 --> 01:14:34.500 But, you know, St. Augustine, I don't believe he's in heaven. 01:14:34.900 --> 01:14:37.900 I believe he's a Satan, Augustine, if you ask me. 01:14:37.900 --> 01:14:40.460 So I'm not interested in all these church fathers. 01:14:40.460 --> 01:14:42.180 I'm interested in what the Bible says. 01:14:42.180 --> 01:14:43.700 You know the fathers I'm interested in? 01:14:43.700 --> 01:14:47.700 Paul, Peter, John, Abraham, our father Abraham. 01:14:47.700 --> 01:14:50.420 It's like, oh, we're going to talk about church fathers. 01:14:50.420 --> 01:14:52.420 How about the one where it says our father Abraham? 01:14:52.420 --> 01:14:53.420 OK. 01:14:53.420 --> 01:14:54.180 That's our father. 01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:57.200 And you know why they don't want to talk about Father Abraham? 01:14:57.200 --> 01:14:59.200 Because he's not their father, that's why. 01:14:59.200 --> 01:15:01.200 Hebrews chapter 10, look what it says in verse 5. 01:15:01.200 --> 01:15:03.100 Wherefore when he cometh in the world, he sayeth, 01:15:03.100 --> 01:15:05.600 Sacrifice an offering thou wouldest not, 01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:09.200 but a body hast thou prepared me. 01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:12.800 Notice it says, thou and me. 01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:17.500 Jesus is saying, you prepared me a body. 01:15:17.500 --> 01:15:20.000 He didn't say, I prepared myself a body. 01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:24.080 There must be a distinction in the person's isn't there. 01:15:24.080 --> 01:15:28.080 And of course, why did he have to have this body so that he could die and taste the death? 01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:30.000 I want to go to one last place, go to Hebrews four, 01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:31.760 and I just want to make a quick application here. 01:15:32.480 --> 01:15:33.440 Why is this important? 01:15:34.480 --> 01:15:36.960 Well, it's important, first of all, that we have the right view of God. 01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:42.000 It's important that we give honor to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:43.440 as the Bible would have us do. 01:15:44.160 --> 01:15:46.560 Of course, things are done in the name of the Father, 01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:48.240 in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Ghost. 01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.040 So, obviously, we want to understand them. 01:15:51.040 --> 01:15:53.280 We want to understand their different functions, in a sense. 01:15:53.280 --> 01:15:55.160 You know, the Bible brings this up in 2 Corinthians. 01:15:55.160 --> 01:15:56.160 We talked about it. 01:15:56.160 --> 01:16:00.560 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost. 01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:05.320 Of course, the Holy Ghost dwells inside of us as saved believers, and He'll never leave 01:16:05.320 --> 01:16:06.320 us nor forsake us. 01:16:06.320 --> 01:16:07.320 He's that Comforter. 01:16:07.320 --> 01:16:09.260 He reminds us of the Scriptures. 01:16:09.260 --> 01:16:13.200 Of course, we have Jesus Christ who sits at the right hand of God the Father, and He's 01:16:13.200 --> 01:16:14.200 an advocate. 01:16:14.200 --> 01:16:14.300 you 01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:16.200 for us with the Father. 01:16:16.200 --> 01:16:20.200 So when we sin, we can go to the Father through the Son, 01:16:20.200 --> 01:16:23.300 and we can ask for forgiveness and ask for grace 01:16:23.300 --> 01:16:26.500 through the Son and what He's done for us. 01:16:26.500 --> 01:16:28.100 So we understand all the different functions. 01:16:28.100 --> 01:16:30.700 We pray to the Father, okay, 01:16:30.700 --> 01:16:33.900 through obviously the Lord Jesus Christ as our advocate 01:16:33.900 --> 01:16:36.200 and with the help of the Holy Ghost. 01:16:36.400 --> 01:16:40.560 And we want to understand their different functions and roles and how they interact. 01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:44.000 This just gives us a greater and deeper appreciation for the things of God 01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:49.200 and the different ways that we can access the help that he's given to us. 01:16:49.200 --> 01:16:51.680 But one of these, of course, is the Lord Jesus Christ himself. 01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:58.080 And you know why I dislike strongly this idea of limiting what Jesus did or something 01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:00.560 is not truly appreciating it. 01:17:01.300 --> 01:17:05.300 God as the Son, you know, God manifests in the flesh. 01:17:05.300 --> 01:17:10.300 He really did experience things that he could only experience if he was limited. 01:17:10.300 --> 01:17:15.300 This hypostatic union makes Jesus like a Terminator or something, 01:17:15.300 --> 01:17:18.300 where like he just has on the screen all the information always coming up, 01:17:18.300 --> 01:17:21.300 and then he's just like pretending like he doesn't have it or something. 01:17:21.300 --> 01:17:23.300 He's like, no, he really was limited. 01:17:23.300 --> 01:17:26.300 I mean, think about what the Bible is saying here in verse 15. 01:17:26.900 --> 01:17:33.460 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, 01:17:33.460 --> 01:17:37.340 but was at all points tempted like as we are yet without sin. 01:17:37.340 --> 01:17:38.820 What does the word infirmity mean? 01:17:38.820 --> 01:17:40.580 The word infirmity means weakness. 01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:44.900 How is it that Jesus was touched with her infirmities? 01:17:44.900 --> 01:17:48.060 Because he really had to go through the human experience, 01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:50.000 which is a weak experience. 01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.960 There are weaknesses to us being in this mortal state. 01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:55.600 Weakness is like being hungry. 01:17:55.600 --> 01:17:56.880 He really hungered. 01:17:56.880 --> 01:17:58.400 Like feeling pain. 01:17:58.500 --> 01:18:04.900 like being tired, going through all these different human experiences that he really had to go through. 01:18:04.900 --> 01:18:09.700 He was, after 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, the Bible says he hungered. 01:18:09.700 --> 01:18:13.100 He knows what it's like to feel hunger. 01:18:13.100 --> 01:18:15.600 He knows what it's like to be upset. 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:18.700 He knows what it's like, you know, to be betrayed. 01:18:18.700 --> 01:18:22.100 He knows what it's like to be disappointed. And why? 01:18:22.500 --> 01:18:26.500 Why? Because when we go through difficulty, when we go through issues, 01:18:26.500 --> 01:18:30.500 we can appeal to Jesus and He knows what it's like. 01:18:30.500 --> 01:18:35.500 You can't go through an experience that Jesus doesn't have parallel to. 01:18:35.500 --> 01:18:41.500 Jesus knows what it's like to be told to do something that He doesn't want to do and He submits anyways. 01:18:41.500 --> 01:18:44.100 Not my will, but thine be done. 01:18:44.300 --> 01:18:50.300 So every single lady that's ever existed that's so mad about having to submit to someone, 01:18:50.300 --> 01:18:54.300 hey, you know what? Jesus Christ had to submit to the Father's will. 01:18:54.300 --> 01:19:00.300 And you know what he was asked to do? He was asked to bear the sins of the entire world. 01:19:00.300 --> 01:19:05.300 He was asked to die a murderer's death that he didn't deserve. 01:19:05.300 --> 01:19:12.300 He was asked to be stripped naked and publicly ridiculed and spat upon and beat with... 01:19:12.300 --> 01:19:15.540 the court of whips and have to carry his own cross. 01:19:15.540 --> 01:19:19.660 The Bible says that he despised the shame, he had to die on the cross, and then go to 01:19:19.660 --> 01:19:20.660 hell! 01:19:20.660 --> 01:19:22.340 Who's been asked to do that? 01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:25.400 Who's been told that they have to submit to that? 01:19:25.400 --> 01:19:28.600 The Bible says he prayed at least three times, going in there, 01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:33.000 and the sweat was coming off of him as of great drops of blood. 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:34.400 He was in such agony. 01:19:34.400 --> 01:19:39.600 The Bible says he was in agony, and the Bible says that he had to have angels come and even strengthen him 01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:42.200 to even go through this particular experience. 01:19:42.200 --> 01:19:46.200 And then it's just like, oh, my husband wants me to go to church. 01:19:46.200 --> 01:19:48.400 Just submit and go to church. 01:19:48.900 --> 01:19:53.140 Really? My husband wants me to make him laundry, you know, do his laundry. He's just like, wow. 01:19:53.940 --> 01:19:57.900 What a cross that you have to carry, you know? 01:19:59.220 --> 01:20:04.340 I mean, it's just, it's just like, it's insane in many cases, the complaining. Now look. 01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.600 Are there some people that actually have real burdens? 01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:08.300 Yes. 01:20:08.300 --> 01:20:14.800 Are there people going through real problems and real difficulties and real suffering and real shame? 01:20:14.800 --> 01:20:16.200 Oh yeah, there is. 01:20:16.200 --> 01:20:18.800 But you know what? Jesus understands what it's like. 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:21.100 You know, I may not always understand what it's like. 01:20:21.400 --> 01:20:25.800 Your spouse may not understand it, your parents may not understand it. 01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:33.400 You know, obviously they're constantly talking about this disconnect from boomers and like Generation Z. 01:20:33.400 --> 01:20:35.400 They'll be like, get a job. 01:20:35.400 --> 01:20:39.800 And they're like, well back in your day, you know, apparently you just had to do nothing and you get a free house. 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:44.000 You know, that's what they act like. They act like, oh back in your day, you know, the wives... 01:20:44.000 --> 01:20:46.200 I've seen this like comedy meme. 01:20:46.300 --> 01:20:50.300 It was like a cartoon, and it was like back in the 50s, this is what it was like. 01:20:50.300 --> 01:20:54.300 And it was like a guy walks in to like a job interview, and they're just like, 01:20:54.300 --> 01:20:56.300 do you have any experience?

We're supposed to pray to the Father, 01:25:04.100 --> 01:25:05.900 going to the advocate of Jesus and realizing, 01:25:05.900 --> 01:25:10.600 hey, we have a high priest that knows what we're going through. 01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:12.300 He knows what it's like to have suffering. 01:25:12.300 --> 01:25:13.800 He knows what it's like to be burned out. 01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:15.100 He knows what it's like to be tired. 01:25:15.100 --> 01:25:16.500 He knows what it's like to be hungry. 01:25:16.500 --> 01:25:18.200 He knows what it's like to be betrayed. 01:25:18.200 --> 01:25:21.200 He knows what it's like to have to do something you don't want to do. 01:25:21.500 --> 01:25:24.500 He knows what it's like to have to be in a humble position. 01:25:24.500 --> 01:25:29.140 Well, but my life would be better if I had more fame or money or attention. 01:25:29.140 --> 01:25:31.740 Jesus didn't get that. 01:25:31.740 --> 01:25:36.180 If they just knew who I was, if I just got that big break, 01:25:36.180 --> 01:25:41.620 it's like Jesus is the king of kings and he's still not getting that big break. 01:25:41.620 --> 01:25:45.780 He still looked down upon spat on. 01:25:45.780 --> 01:25:48.180 I mean, he despised the shame is what the Bible says. 01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:50.900 And you know, sometimes people are going to treat you poorly. 01:25:50.900 --> 01:25:53.700 Oh, my boss doesn't give me the recognition I deserve. 01:25:53.700 --> 01:25:55.500 Did Jesus always get the same recognition? 01:25:55.500 --> 01:26:00.000 I mean, Jesus heals 10 lepers, and only one even came back to say thank you. 01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:03.400 Jesus knows what it's like to help somebody, and they don't even care. 01:26:03.400 --> 01:26:04.500 Jesus knows what it's like. 01:26:04.500 --> 01:26:08.700 I mean, think about how many people that he got saved in his ministry, 01:26:08.700 --> 01:26:10.900 and they don't follow him. 01:26:10.900 --> 01:26:13.200 They want nothing to do with him. 01:26:13.200 --> 01:26:15.300 And this is just his earthly experience. 01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:18.880 I mean, when we think about just what we know about the Gospels, 01:26:18.880 --> 01:26:22.880 Jesus went through so many experiences that we're aware of, that we know of, 01:26:23.440 --> 01:26:27.440 and He only did good, and He constantly was received with rejection, 01:26:27.440 --> 01:26:34.400 hatred, being an outcast, despised, ridiculed, mocked, laughed at. 01:26:35.500 --> 01:26:40.700 only doing good. And so, you know, we can learn from these experiences and we should appreciate these experiences 01:26:40.700 --> 01:26:43.500 and it should help us when we go through difficulty. 01:26:43.500 --> 01:26:48.100 You know, we will go through difficulty, we will go through persecution, but you know what? Jesus knows what it's like. 01:26:48.100 --> 01:26:52.100 And so, don't feel like you're alone. 01:26:52.100 --> 01:26:55.500 The devil wants us all to always feel like we're alone. 01:26:55.500 --> 01:26:59.300 And the devil wants us to feel like we're going through something nobody really understands. 01:26:59.300 --> 01:27:03.100 But here's the thing, Jesus always knows and Jesus cares. 01:27:03.900 --> 01:27:06.900 Does Jesus care? 01:27:06.900 --> 01:27:07.900 He does. 01:27:07.900 --> 01:27:08.900 He does care. 01:27:08.900 --> 01:27:10.900 You have a friend in Jesus. 01:27:10.900 --> 01:27:12.900 When we sing these songs, we're not just singing them just to sing. 01:27:12.900 --> 01:27:13.900 It's real. 01:27:13.900 --> 01:27:19.900 And if you're looking for human companionship, you probably will always feel wanting 01:27:19.900 --> 01:27:22.900 because humans can't always understand everything, but Jesus does. 01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:27.300 And you know, just like Jesus wasn't alone, 01:27:27.300 --> 01:27:29.200 He had the Father and He had the Holy Spirit with Him, 01:27:29.200 --> 01:27:31.900 we have Jesus with us and we have the Holy Spirit with us. 01:27:31.900 --> 01:27:33.900 And so please don't feel alone. 01:27:33.900 --> 01:27:36.600 Please don't allow yourself to get discouraged. 01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:40.100 Please recognize that we have the Son as an advocate. 01:27:40.100 --> 01:27:42.100 He cares about us. He loves us. 01:27:42.500 --> 01:27:48.300 You know, and you know, just like the Father loves the Son, God loves us. 01:27:48.300 --> 01:27:52.500 It's not a, you know, the Bible's not a story about some person loving themselves 01:27:52.500 --> 01:27:57.500 and pretending to be three. He really is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and He really does love. 01:27:57.500 --> 01:28:01.800 And it really illustrates, I mean, the love that the Father must have for us, 01:28:01.800 --> 01:28:04.800 that He would literally give up His Son. 01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:06.000 That's a lot of love. 01:28:07.100 --> 01:28:08.900 Well, I just don't feel like God cares about me. 01:28:08.900 --> 01:28:10.400 He really cares about you. 01:28:10.400 --> 01:28:14.700 He's already demonstrated the most love he could possibly show towards you. 01:28:14.700 --> 01:28:18.200 Well, I don't think God cares about my situation or my life or my goals. 01:28:18.200 --> 01:28:20.200 No, he cares about you more than you can realize. 01:28:20.200 --> 01:28:23.100 He has the hairs of your head counted. 01:28:23.100 --> 01:28:24.500 For some of you, that's not hard. 01:28:24.500 --> 01:28:26.000 All right. 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:26.900 Okay. 01:28:26.900 --> 01:28:30.300 Some of us, it's more than others. 01:28:30.300 --> 01:28:33.700 But hey, he's got zero counted, even if that's the number. 01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:36.000 He cares about you, all right? 01:28:36.500 --> 01:28:38.500 He's got a big zero for you. 01:28:39.500 --> 01:28:42.500 And he's like, you're like, oh man, if you cared about me I'd have hair. No. 01:28:43.500 --> 01:28:45.000 He does care about you. 01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:50.000 He sent Jesus Christ, obviously, to die on the cross for all your sins. He cares about you. 01:28:50.500 --> 01:28:55.000 Okay. And obviously the Holy Ghost loves us so much they'll never leave us or forsake us. 01:28:55.500 --> 01:28:57.000 So you have three. 01:28:57.000 --> 01:28:59.500 Even if you feel alone, you have three that care about you. 01:29:00.700 --> 01:29:02.500 You have the Father, He cares about you. 01:29:02.500 --> 01:29:04.000 You have the Son, He cares about you. 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:06.300 And you have the Holy Ghost, and all three of them care about you. 01:29:06.300 --> 01:29:08.300 Isn't that enough? 01:29:08.300 --> 01:29:10.200 It should be enough that the Father loves you. 01:29:10.200 --> 01:29:12.600 It should be enough that the Son cares for you. 01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:15.300 It should be enough that the Holy Ghost will never leave you. 01:29:15.300 --> 01:29:18.200 The love that God has for us should be enough. 01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:21.200 And so I think it's important to understand the Trinity. 01:29:21.200 --> 01:29:23.900 And you know, I don't care about the labels and all the persecution. 01:29:23.900 --> 01:29:25.400 They're nuts to them. 01:29:25.400 --> 01:29:26.800 Let the crucifix fall on their head. 01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:28.500 You know what I mean? Let's go to prayer. 01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:33.200 Thank you, Father, so much for the love that you've given to us through the gift of your Son. 01:29:33.200 --> 01:29:37.900 Thank you, Jesus Christ, for the work that you've done for us and the Holy Ghost for comforting us. 01:29:37.900 --> 01:29:43.100 I pray that anyone in this room is going through difficulty, through struggle, 01:29:43.100 --> 01:29:46.200 that you would just help remind them that the love you have for them. 01:29:47.200 --> 01:29:50.000 the grace that you have for them, the communion that you have for them. 01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.600 I pray that people would lean into God, they would lean into the promises of Scripture, 01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:58.800 that they would lean into the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, that you could comfort them, 01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:02.200 you could remind them of Scripture, you could help them to pray and seek you, 01:30:02.200 --> 01:30:06.200 and that you could give them the peace that passeth all understanding. 01:30:07.200 --> 01:30:12.400 I pray if people are going through real problems and real issues, God, that you would just please give them grace, 01:30:12.400 --> 01:30:20.000 that you could just please help them to see favor in that area of their life, and they could trust you. 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:26.900 I pray that if people are falling victim of sin and difficulty, that they would lean into church, 01:30:26.900 --> 01:30:28.900 to reading their Bible, getting closer to God. 01:30:29.300 --> 01:30:30.900 and that you would help them. 01:30:30.900 --> 01:30:32.900 And I pray that you would help us to all realize 01:30:32.900 --> 01:30:34.200 that we have three that care about us, 01:30:34.200 --> 01:30:35.400 the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. 01:30:35.400 --> 01:30:36.900 In Jesus' name we pray, amen. 01:30:40.200 --> 01:30:43.000 Alright, closing, let's go to song number 10. 01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:48.800 Song number 10 01:30:53.500 --> 01:30:55.500 near the cross. 01:31:00.300 --> 01:31:02.300 Song number 10 01:31:05.140 --> 01:31:09.700 Let's all sing that out together song number 10 near the cross 01:31:13.900 --> 01:31:15.600 She's... 01:35:11.400 --> 01:35:14.000 Great singing everybody, you were all dismissed.
