>>IF THERE ARE
ANY WORDS IMPORTANT,
00:00:14.24\00:00:15.54
IT WOULD BE THE WORDS
OF GOD ENGRAVEN IN STONE.
00:00:15.58\00:00:18.58
CHRIST WAS THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE WORD.
00:00:18.61\00:00:20.88
HIS LIFE WAS
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:00:20.92\00:00:24.22
>>WELCOME ONCE AGAIN
TO LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY.
00:00:28.82\00:00:31.49
WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT
YOU'RE HERE. AND TONIGHT WE'RE
00:00:31.53\00:00:34.10
CONTINUING OUR SERIES
WITH A VERY IMPORTANT STUDY.
00:00:34.13\00:00:36.93
IT'S THE TOPIC OF
THE UNCHANGEABLE LAW .
00:00:36.97\00:00:41.10
WELL, AS WE ALWAYS DO,
WE'RE GOING TO USE A BIBLE STORY
00:00:41.14\00:00:44.27
SORT OF AS A
SPRINGBOARD INTO THIS SUBJECT.
00:00:44.31\00:00:47.11
IF YOU LOOK INTO YOUR BIBLE
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 6, YOU'LL
00:00:47.14\00:00:50.28
RECOGNIZE THE STORY
THERE. IT'S ABOUT DANIEL.
00:00:50.31\00:00:53.21
ONE OF THE GREAT STORIES WE
OFTEN SAVE FOR THE CHILDREN,
00:00:53.25\00:00:56.35
DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN.
00:00:56.38\00:00:58.12
YOU SEE, AFTER THE BABYLONIAN
KINGDOM FELL TO THE PERSIANS,
00:00:58.15\00:01:01.59
THE NEW PERSIAN KING, DARIUS,
WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH DANIEL'S
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.96
ABILITY AND HIS WONDERFUL SPIRIT
HE HAD, THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT
00:01:05.99\00:01:10.57
MAKING HIM THE PRIME MINISTER OF
HIS NEW KINGDOM. WELL, YOU CAN
00:01:10.60\00:01:15.87
IMAGINE THAT DIDN'T GO OVER VERY
WELL WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF
00:01:15.90\00:01:19.44
DARIUS' CABINET BECAUSE
DANIEL WAS A FORMER SERVANT OF
00:01:19.47\00:01:22.81
NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
THAT WAS THE ENEMY.
00:01:22.84\00:01:25.11
DANIEL WAS A FORMER CAPTIVE
FROM AMONG THE ISRAELITES.
00:01:25.15\00:01:28.92
WHY WOULD THE KING WANT TO
PROMOTE SOMEBODY WHO WAS BOTH
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.19
A FOREIGNER AND A MEMBER
OF THE FORMER KINGDOM TO BE
00:01:32.22\00:01:35.16
THE NEW PRIME MINISTER?
SO THEY CAME UP WITH A PLOT.
00:01:35.19\00:01:38.93
THEY WENT TO KING DARIUS
AND THEY SAID, 'YOUR HIGHNESS,
00:01:38.96\00:01:42.43
IT'S A NEW KINGDOM.
WE'VE CONQUERED SEVERAL OTHER
00:01:42.46\00:01:44.67
EMPIRES; IN ORDER TO GET
EVERYONE TOGETHER - THE BEST WAY
00:01:44.70\00:01:46.67
TO DO THAT IS THROUGH COMMON
WORSHIP.' THAT'S TRUE, THE DEVIL
00:01:46.70\00:01:51.41
OFTEN DOES THAT. WHEN
YOU CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO
00:01:51.44\00:01:54.38
JOIN TOGETHER BECAUSE OF COMMON
LANGUAGE OR COMMON CULTURE,
00:01:54.41\00:01:59.31
COMMON RELIGION IS
OFTEN THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
00:01:59.35\00:02:03.59
AND SO, THEY SAID, 'IF YOU MAKE
A LAW - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LAST
00:02:03.62\00:02:07.79
LONG, JUST 30 DAYS - THAT NOBODY
WORSHIPS ANY GOD EXCEPT FOR YOU,
00:02:07.82\00:02:12.83
THAT'LL SOLIDIFY THE KINGDOM.'
YOU CAN READ IN DANIEL 6:8,
00:02:12.86\00:02:17.83
HE SIGNED THE DECREE - YOU CAN'T
PRAY TO ANY GOD OR MAN FOR 30
00:02:17.87\00:02:21.50
DAYS AND, BY THE WAY, THERE'S A
PENALTY IF YOU BREAK IT: YOU GO
00:02:21.54\00:02:24.64
TO THE LION'S DEN.' BUT THE
KING NEVER DREAMED ANYBODY WOULD
00:02:24.67\00:02:27.84
BREAK IT AND HE DIDN'T
REALIZE WHAT THEY WERE UP TO,
00:02:27.88\00:02:30.08
SO HE SIGNED IT. AND
IT SAYS, 'ACCORDING TO
00:02:30.11\00:02:32.55
THE LAW OF THE MEDES AND THE
PERSIANS WHICH DOES NOT ALTER.'
00:02:32.58\00:02:36.38
ONCE YOU SIGN THE KING'S
LAW, YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT.
00:02:36.42\00:02:40.16
SO, THE BIBLE - HERE'S ONE OF
THE GREAT VERSES IN THE BIBLE:
00:02:40.19\00:02:45.09
DANIEL 6, VERSE 10, "NOW WHEN
DANIEL KNEW THAT THE WRITING WAS
00:02:45.13\00:02:48.16
SIGNED, HE WENT INTO HIS HOUSE;
AND HIS WINDOWS BEING OPEN IN
00:02:48.20\00:02:51.33
HIS CHAMBER TOWARD JERUSALEM,
HE KNEELED UPON HIS KNEES THREE
00:02:51.37\00:02:56.84
TIMES A DAY, AND PRAYED, AND
GAVE THANKS BEFORE HIS GOD," -
00:02:56.87\00:03:02.44
DID DANIEL KNOW WHAT THE
PENALTY WAS FOR THIS LAW?
00:03:02.48\00:03:04.45
IT SAYS HE KNEW ABOUT IT
AND HE'S STILL THANKING GOD.
00:03:04.48\00:03:06.85
HE DID NOTHING TO HIDE
HIS LIGHT UNDER A BUSH.
00:03:06.88\00:03:10.35
BUT HE THOUGHT, 'I'M NOT GOING
TO HIDE MY FAITH FROM ANYBODY.'
00:03:10.39\00:03:13.62
AND SO HE OPENED HIS WINDOWS.
00:03:13.66\00:03:16.09
WELL, SOON THESE ENEMIES,
00:03:16.12\00:03:18.73
THEY WENT TO THE
KING AND THEY SAID,
00:03:18.76\00:03:20.13
'YOU KNOW THAT
LAW THAT YOU SIGNED?'
00:03:20.16\00:03:22.10
THE KING SAID, 'YEP, LAW OF
THE MEDES AND THE PERSIANS - IT
00:03:22.13\00:03:24.63
CANNOT CHANGE.' THEY SAID,
'WELL, THERE'S SOMEONE IN YOUR
00:03:24.67\00:03:26.74
KINGDOM THAT JUST DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT YOUR LAW, IT'S DANIEL.
00:03:26.77\00:03:29.57
HE'S PRAYING THREE TIMES A
DAY.' KING DARIUS SAID, 'OH NO!'
00:03:29.60\00:03:36.14
THE BIBLE SAYS HE LABORED
TIL THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN TO
00:03:36.18\00:03:39.08
DELIVER DANIEL BUT HE COULDN'T
BECAUSE HE COULDN'T CHANGE HIS
00:03:39.11\00:03:42.48
OWN LAW. SO RIGHT
ABOUT THE GOING DOWN OF
00:03:42.52\00:03:45.92
THE SUN, HE HAD DANIEL BROUGHT
TO THE LION'S DEN. DANIEL SAID
00:03:45.95\00:03:50.89
- THE KING SPOKE TO DANIEL
AND HE PUT HIM IN THE LION'S
00:03:50.93\00:03:53.23
DEN AND HE SAID, 'I KNOW
THAT YOUR GOD THAT YOU SERVE
00:03:53.26\00:03:55.36
CONTINUALLY, HE WILL DELIVER
YOU.' AND THEY PUT A STONE OVER
00:03:55.40\00:04:00.24
THE LION'S DEN AND THEY SEALED
IT WITH A GOVERNMENT SEAL.
00:04:00.27\00:04:04.24
AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT TELLS
US THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING,
00:04:04.27\00:04:08.78
THE KING CAME TO THE TOMB AND
HE SAID - THEY ROLLED AWAY THE
00:04:08.81\00:04:14.88
STONE - 'DANIEL, HAS YOUR GOD
THAT YOU SERVE CONTINUALLY BEEN
00:04:14.92\00:04:16.89
ABLE TO DELIVER
YOU FROM THE LIONS?'
00:04:16.92\00:04:19.15
AND DANIEL SAID, 'MY GOD
HAS SENT HIS ANGEL AND SHUT
00:04:19.19\00:04:22.12
THE LIONS' MOUTHS.' AND NO FORM
OF HARM OR HURT WAS ON DANIEL,
00:04:22.16\00:04:26.59
THE BIBLE SAYS,
BECAUSE HE BELIEVED IN HIS GOD.
00:04:26.63\00:04:29.26
WELL, HE HAD AN INTERESTING
WAY OF BELIEVING - HE SHOWED HIS
00:04:29.30\00:04:32.73
BELIEF, DIDN'T HE? THAT'S WHAT
IT SAYS - HE BELIEVED IN GOD.
00:04:32.77\00:04:35.10
NOW THIS STORY TELLS US
THAT DANIEL SAID THERE ARE TEN
00:04:35.14\00:04:39.41
COMMANDMENTS AND ONE COMMANDMENT
SAYS, 'THOU SHALT NOT HAVE OTHER
00:04:39.44\00:04:42.91
GODS BEFORE ME' - NOT EVEN KING
DARIUS. NOT EVEN FOR 30 DAYS.
00:04:42.94\00:04:47.58
AND HE WAS WILLING TO DIE RATHER
THAN DISOBEY. WHAT KIND OF FAITH
00:04:47.62\00:04:54.72
AND DETERMINATION DO GOD'S
PEOPLE NEED IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:04:54.76\00:04:57.16
IS THERE GOING TO BE A LAW THAT
SAYS 'HE WHO DOES NOT WORSHIP
00:04:57.19\00:05:00.53
THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE SHOULD
BE KILLED? FIRST THEY CAN'T
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.77
BUY OR SELL, BUT ULTIMATELY
IT SAYS THEY SHOULD BE KILLED.
00:05:03.80\00:05:06.07
AND WORSHIPING THE BEAST AND
HIS IMAGE IS GOING TO REQUIRE
00:05:06.10\00:05:09.17
BREAKING ONE OF
GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
00:05:09.20\00:05:11.24
DO YOU LOVE THE LORD AND
HIS WORD SO MUCH THAT YOU WOULD
00:05:11.27\00:05:13.98
RATHER DIE - RATHER
GO HUNGRY - THAN DISOBEY?
00:05:14.01\00:05:19.01
THIS IS A TEST THAT WE NEED TO
KNOW THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:05:19.05\00:05:23.39
ARE NOT MULTIPLE
CHOICE AND THAT'S OUR SUBJECT.
00:05:23.42\00:05:27.92
NUMBER 1: CAN GOD'S MORAL
LAW BE AMENDED OR REPEALED?
00:05:27.96\00:05:34.20
ANSWER: JESUS TELLS US IN
LUKE 16, VERSE 17 - HE SAYS,
00:05:34.23\00:05:39.40
"IT IS EASIER FOR
HEAVEN AND EARTH TO" - WHAT?
00:05:39.43\00:05:42.94
>>PASS AWAY.
00:05:42.97\00:05:44.27
>>"PASS AWAY THAN FOR ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:05:44.31\00:05:47.61
THAT'S A HEBREW TERM -
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE LITTLE
00:05:47.64\00:05:50.38
CROSSING OF A 'T' - IT'S EVEN
SMALLER THAN THE CROSSING OF A
00:05:50.41\00:05:52.58
'T' - EVEN THE SLIGHTEST THING
- A JOT OR A TITTLE IS LIKE A
00:05:52.61\00:05:55.75
LITTLE PERIOD OR A LITTLE
CROSSING OF A 'T' - IT SAYS
00:05:55.78\00:05:58.39
HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY
BEFORE EVEN THAT MUCH OF THE LAW
00:05:58.42\00:06:01.52
PASSES AWAY. YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN PSALM 89,
00:06:01.56\00:06:06.73
VERSE 34, GOD SAYS, "MY COVENANT
I WILL NOT BREAK, NOR ALTER THE
00:06:06.76\00:06:15.00
WORD THAT HAS
GONE OUT OF MY LIPS."
00:06:15.04\00:06:17.44
GOD IS NOT GOING TO
00:06:17.47\00:06:18.77
BREAK HIS COVENANT.
IT'S FOREVER AND EVER.
00:06:18.81\00:06:22.64
AND THEN YOU HAVE ONE MORE
IN PSALM 111, VERSES 7 AND 8,
00:06:22.68\00:06:27.75
"ALL HIS PRECEPTS ARE SURE. THEY
STAND FAST FOREVER AND EVER."
00:06:27.78\00:06:35.36
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS DID
NOT SUDDENLY APPEAR IN EXODUS.
00:06:35.39\00:06:39.46
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HAVE ALWAYS
EXISTED BECAUSE THEY ARE A
00:06:39.49\00:06:43.06
REFLECTION OF GOD'S NATURE. HOW
DO I KNOW THAT? WHEN THE WOMAN -
00:06:43.10\00:06:48.24
POTIPHAR'S WIFE - TEMPTED
JOSEPH TO COMMIT ADULTERY IN THE
00:06:48.27\00:06:52.44
BOOK OF GENESIS, JOSEPH SAID,
'I CAN'T DO THAT. IT'S A SIN.'
00:06:52.47\00:06:57.08
DID THEY KNOW, EVEN IN GENESIS,
THAT ADULTERY WAS A SIN?
00:06:57.11\00:07:00.28
WHEN CAIN KILLED ABEL, GOD TOLD
HIM, 'SIN LIES AT YOUR DOOR.'
00:07:00.32\00:07:07.99
AND SIN IS THE
BREAKING OF GOD'S LAW.
00:07:08.02\00:07:09.66
WAS MURDER A SIN EVEN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:07:09.69\00:07:12.59
OR DID MURDER - MURDER WASN'T
A SIN UNTIL GOD WROTE IT DOWN
00:07:12.63\00:07:15.90
AT MOUNT SINAI?
OF COURSE IT WAS.
00:07:15.93\00:07:18.60
WAS IT WRONG TO LIE ALL
THE WAY FROM THE BEGINNING?
00:07:18.63\00:07:21.30
AND SO, SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
GO ALL THE WAY BACK.
00:07:21.34\00:07:24.14
GOD SIMPLY CODIFIED IT SO
THAT THEY WOULD ALL KNOW - VERY
00:07:24.17\00:07:26.57
CLEAR, NO MISUNDERSTANDING,
APPROXIMATELY 300 WORDS -
00:07:26.61\00:07:30.61
THIS IS MY PERFECT WILL.
THAT LAW IS COMPREHENSIVE FOR
00:07:30.65\00:07:34.38
ALL MAN - IT'S NOT FOR
ONE NATION, IT'S FOR PEOPLE
00:07:34.42\00:07:37.49
EVERYWHERE. WHEN YOU
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW OF
00:07:37.52\00:07:40.26
GOD, YOU'RE DOING AWAY
WITH THE NATURE OF GOD.
00:07:40.29\00:07:43.22
NOW, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR
LESSON YOU'LL SEE, FOR INSTANCE,
00:07:43.26\00:07:45.76
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'GOD IS GOOD.'
DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS ALSO,
00:07:45.79\00:07:51.47
'THE LAW IS GOOD'? THE
BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS HOLY.
00:07:51.50\00:07:55.67
THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS
THAT THE LAW IS HOLY.
00:07:55.70\00:07:59.71
YOU CAN READ WHERE IT SAYS GOD
IS RIGHTEOUS, GOD IS TRUTH, GOD
00:07:59.74\00:08:03.18
IS PURE, GOD IS SPIRITUAL, GOD
IS UNCHANGEABLE, GOD IS ETERNAL.
00:08:03.21\00:08:06.78
THESE ARE ALSO ALL THE SAME
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAW SO
00:08:06.82\00:08:10.99
WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
ABOUT TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH THE
00:08:11.02\00:08:13.76
LAW BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS
THE VERY NATURE OF GOD.
00:08:13.79\00:08:18.19
JESUS WAS THE WORD BECAME FLESH.
CHRIST SAID, 'HE THAT HEARS
00:08:18.23\00:08:23.60
THESE WORDS OF MINE
IS BUILDING ON A' - WHAT?
00:08:23.63\00:08:26.27
- WISE MAN
BUILDING ON... >>THE ROCK.
00:08:26.30\00:08:28.54
>>THE ROCK. WHAT
WERE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:08:28.57\00:08:30.37
WRITTEN ON? IF
THERE ARE ANY WORDS
00:08:30.41\00:08:32.27
IMPORTANT, IT WOULD BE THE
WORDS OF GOD ENGRAVEN IN STONE.
00:08:32.31\00:08:35.88
CHRIST WAS THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE WORD.
00:08:35.91\00:08:37.78
HIS LIFE WAS
OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:08:37.81\00:08:42.78
AND THEN, AS CHRISTIANS,
HE SAYS, 'FOLLOW ME.' NOW,
00:08:42.82\00:08:46.52
ACCORDING TO THE
BIBLE, WHAT IS SIN?
00:08:46.55\00:08:50.29
I MEAN, JESUS CAME
TO SAVE US FROM SIN.
00:08:50.33\00:08:53.13
WHAT IS IT THAT
HE'S SAVING US FROM?
00:08:53.16\00:08:55.20
1 JOHN 3, VERSE 4 - THE BIBLE
SAYS, "SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION
00:08:55.23\00:09:02.74
OF" - WHAT? OF THE LAW.
SIN IS - IT'S LIKE A DICTIONARY
00:09:02.77\00:09:05.44
DEFINITION: 'SIN IS THE BREAKING
OF - OR THE TRANSGRESSION OF -
00:09:05.47\00:09:09.21
THE LAW.' ROMANS 3:20 SAID,
"BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF
00:09:09.24\00:09:15.58
SIN." WE DON'T
REALLY KNOW WHAT SIN IS
00:09:15.62\00:09:18.12
EXCEPT BY THE LAW.
GOD'S LAW REVEALS WHAT SIN IS.
00:09:18.15\00:09:21.26
NOW, THE PURPOSE OF THE
LAW, THOUGH, AND THIS IS A VERY
00:09:21.29\00:09:25.46
IMPORTANT POINT I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE, IS NOT TO SAVE US.
00:09:25.49\00:09:28.00
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE PURPOSE
OF THE LAW IS TO SIMPLY SHOW US
00:09:28.03\00:09:31.80
OUR NEED OF SALVATION. NOW I'M
GOING TO JUST ILLUSTRATE THIS.
00:09:31.83\00:09:35.27
NOW I JUST DID SOMETHING
TO CHANGE MY APPEARANCE.
00:09:35.30\00:09:38.97
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT.
YOU SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
00:09:39.01\00:09:46.08
WOULD IT DISTRACT YOU IF I WENT
THROUGH THE REST OF THE PROGRAM
00:09:46.11\00:09:48.75
LIKE THIS? IT
WOULD. SO WHAT DO I NEED?
00:09:48.78\00:09:53.02
AH, HOW
CONVENIENT. SO I FEEL FINE.
00:09:53.05\00:09:59.16
I DON'T SEE THAT
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
00:09:59.19\00:10:00.83
I LOOK IN THIS
DEVICE AND I GO, 'EW!'
00:10:00.86\00:10:02.90
IT REALLY IS THE
FIRST TIME I LOOKED.
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.50
THAT'S KIND OF EMBARRASSING.
00:10:04.53\00:10:06.60
SO SINCE THE MIRROR SHOWED ME
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM, IT OBVIOUSLY
00:10:06.63\00:10:11.31
SHOULD BE THE MEANS OF
REMOVING THE PROBLEM, RIGHT?
00:10:11.34\00:10:14.31
SO IF I JUST WHACK MYSELF IN THE
HEAD WITH THE MIRROR IT'LL ALL
00:10:14.34\00:10:17.61
GO AWAY. WOULD THAT FIX IT?
IF I RUB THE MIRROR ON THE MARK
00:10:17.65\00:10:21.48
OR THE TAPE, WILL
THAT TAKE IT AWAY?
00:10:21.52\00:10:24.25
THIS SHOWS US THE PROBLEM, BUT
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE
00:10:24.29\00:10:27.82
PROBLEM AWAY. YOU ARE
NOT SAVED BY KEEPING THE
00:10:27.86\00:10:30.03
LAW, THE LAW DOESN'T
SAVE YOU FROM ANYTHING.
00:10:30.06\00:10:31.83
THE LAW IS THERE TO SHOW US
OUR NEED OF SALVATION. BUT THEN,
00:10:31.86\00:10:35.33
IF I TAKE THIS AND USE THE
BLOOD, IT TAKES AWAY THE SIN.
00:10:35.36\00:10:39.57
NOW THE REASON I MENTION THIS
- IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JAMES,
00:10:39.60\00:10:43.00
'WHOEVER LOOKS INTO THE PERFECT
LAW THAT GIVES LIBERTY AND
00:10:43.04\00:10:46.68
CONTINUES THEREIN, BEING NOT
JUST A HEARER BUT A DOER OF THE
00:10:46.71\00:10:50.25
WORD, THIS MAN WILL BE BLESSED.'
THE LAW OF GOD IS COMPARED TO A
00:10:50.28\00:10:53.28
MIRROR. IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO TAKE AWAY
00:10:53.31\00:10:57.12
OUR SIN, IT'S
SUPPOSED TO SHOW US OUR NEED.
00:10:57.15\00:10:59.12
THEN YOU GO TO
JESUS FOR CLEANSING.
00:10:59.15\00:11:00.86
BUT, IF IT'S NOT A SIN TO BREAK
THE LAW - IF THERE'S NO LAW,
00:11:00.89\00:11:07.60
THERE'S NO SIN, RIGHT? THE
BIBLE SAYS, 'WHERE THERE IS
00:11:07.60\00:11:10.47
NO LAW THERE IS NO
TRANSGRESSION.' THAT'S WHAT PAUL
00:11:10.50\00:11:12.97
SAID, 'WHERE THERE IS NO LAW,
THERE'S NO TRANSGRESSION.' SO IF
00:11:13.00\00:11:15.87
THERE IS NO LAW
THERE'S NO TRANSGRESSION.
00:11:15.90\00:11:18.41
IF THERE'S NO SIN,
THEN WHO NEEDS A SAVIOR?
00:11:18.44\00:11:21.64
CAN YOU SEE WHY THE DEVIL
WOULD BE ATTACKING THE LAW?
00:11:21.68\00:11:25.81
BECAUSE IF THERE'S NO
LAW THEN THERE'S NO SIN.
00:11:25.85\00:11:28.05
IF THERE'S NO SIN
YOU DON'T NEED JESUS.
00:11:28.08\00:11:29.75
AND SO, THAT'S
THE LOGIC BEHIND IT.
00:11:29.78\00:11:32.52
NUMBER 3: TO WHAT
LAW IS JOHN REFERRING?
00:11:32.55\00:11:36.02
PAUL TELLS US IN ROMANS CHAPTER
7, VERSE 7 - HE SAID, 'I HAD NOT
00:11:36.06\00:11:41.00
KNOWN SIN BUT BY THE LAW.
FOR I HAD NOT KNOWN LUST EXCEPT
00:11:41.03\00:11:46.80
THE LAW HAD SAID, 'THOU SHALT
NOT COVET.' HERE HE IS QUOTING
00:11:46.84\00:11:50.81
FROM THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, ISN'T HE?
00:11:50.84\00:11:52.74
HE'S SAYING, 'I BECOME
AWARE OF WHAT MY SIN IS
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.98
BY LOOKING AT THE LAW.'
00:11:56.01\00:11:57.61
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS WE'LL
00:11:58.58\00:12:00.58
RETURN AND
COMPLETE THIS PRESENTATION.
00:12:00.62\00:12:03.12
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIG DEBATES
IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD TODAY HAS
00:12:03.15\00:12:06.09
TO DO WITH 'HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN
RELATE TO THE LAW OF GOD?'
00:12:06.12\00:12:10.39
NOW, CLEARLY, SOME THINGS
WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS AND A
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.83
CHRISTIAN DOES NOT NEED
TO KEEP THE OLD COVENANT.
00:12:12.86\00:12:15.70
BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:15.73\00:12:17.77
AFTER ALL, THEY'RE NOT CALLED
'THE TEN RECOMMENDATIONS' OR
00:12:17.80\00:12:20.67
'THE TEN SUGGESTIONS' OR 'GOD'S
TEN GOOD IDEAS.' WE HAVE A

GOD IN STONE SO,
OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

LET'S GET BACK NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME
00:12:52.67\00:12:55.70
MORE AMAZING FACTS
ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:55.74\00:12:58.01
DID JESUS KEEP
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.51
JOHN 15, VERSE 10 HE SAID,
"I HAVE" - WHAT? - "I HAVE KEPT
00:13:02.54\00:13:08.28
MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS
AND ABIDE IN HIS LOVE."
00:13:08.32\00:13:12.39
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE - 'THY WORD
I HAVE HIDDEN IN MY HEART THAT
00:13:12.42\00:13:17.19
I MIGHT NOT SIN.' WE
NEED TO HAVE THE LAW OF GOD
00:13:17.23\00:13:19.86
IN OUR HEADS AND IN OUR HEARTS
OR WE'RE GOING TO GET MIXED UP
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.00
IN THIS CULTURE, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:13:22.03\00:13:23.83
>>NUMBER 5: WHAT IS THE
PUNISHMENT FOR LIVING A LIFE
00:13:23.87\00:13:27.34
OF SIN? ROMANS
6:23, "FOR THE WAGES
00:13:27.37\00:13:30.51
OF SIN IS
DEATH." PRETTY SERIOUS.
00:13:30.54\00:13:33.81
SIN IS A DEADLY, CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE AND GOD HAS TO USE
00:13:33.84\00:13:36.81
DRASTIC MEASURES.
WE'VE SEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY
00:13:36.85\00:13:40.35
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SOMEONE EVEN
THOUGHT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE
00:13:40.38\00:13:43.69
EBOLA BECAUSE IT'S A
DEADLY DISEASE - ROUGHLY 50 TO
00:13:43.72\00:13:47.52
60 PERCENT, DEPENDING ON WHAT
COUNTRY YOU'RE IN WHEN YOU GET
00:13:47.56\00:13:50.03
IT - THAT THEY
QUICKLY QUARANTINE PEOPLE.
00:13:50.06\00:13:52.06
WELL, SIN IS EVEN
MORE DEADLY THAN EBOLA.
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.03
AND SO GOD SAYS, 'WE CAN'T
ALLOW IT TO SPREAD THROUGH THE
00:13:54.10\00:13:56.90
UNIVERSE. THE PENALTY IS DEATH.
UNLESS WE GET A TRANSFUSION
00:13:56.93\00:14:00.34
OF THE BLOOD OF
JESUS, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.
00:14:00.37\00:14:03.14
SOME SAY THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT BINDING FOR
00:14:03.17\00:14:06.54
NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS.
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY ABOUT THIS?
00:14:06.57\00:14:09.98
MATTHEW 19, VERSE 17 - HE SAID,
"BUT IF YOU WILL ENTER INTO
00:14:10.01\00:14:15.28
LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS."
WELL OBVIOUSLY, FOR A STARTING
00:14:15.32\00:14:20.59
POINT, HE WOULD BE TALKING
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:20.62\00:14:24.26
YOU CAN READ IN JOHN 14, VERSE
15, JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE ME
00:14:24.29\00:14:29.80
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." A
LOT OF PASTORS SAY TODAY,
00:14:29.83\00:14:35.37
'WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE BECAUSE
00:14:35.40\00:14:37.54
JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW.'
WELL, WHAT DOES 'FULFILL' MEAN?
00:14:37.57\00:14:41.41
WHEN CHRIST CAME TO JOHN
THE BAPTIST TO BE BAPTIZED, JOHN
00:14:41.44\00:14:44.45
SAID TO JESUS, 'NO, YOU NEED
TO BAPTIZE ME BECAUSE YOU'RE THE
00:14:44.48\00:14:49.98
MESSIAH.' JESUS SAID, 'NO, JOHN,
ALLOW IT TO BE THIS WAY NOW
00:14:50.02\00:14:53.46
FOR THUS IT BECOMES US TO
FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
00:14:53.49\00:14:57.66
SO WHEN JESUS SAID,
'FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS,'
00:14:57.69\00:14:59.56
DOES THAT MEAN DO AWAY
WITH ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:14:59.59\00:15:01.96
SOME PEOPLE READ THAT VERSE:
'THINK NOT THAT I'VE COME TO
00:15:02.00\00:15:05.30
DESTROY THE LAW.' THEY CHANGE IT
WHERE JESUS SAYS 'THINK NOT THAT
00:15:05.33\00:15:09.04
I'VE COME TO DESTROY THE LAW,
I'VE ACTUALLY COME TO DO AWAY
00:15:09.07\00:15:11.31
WITH IT.' THAT
WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:15:11.34\00:15:13.64
HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS US TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:15:13.68\00:15:17.08
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:15:17.11\00:15:19.75
NOW, SIN IS THE
TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
00:15:19.78\00:15:23.32
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I AM TEMPTED EVERY DAY.
00:15:23.35\00:15:26.29
AM I ALONE? EVERY
DAY I HAVE OPPORTUNITIES
00:15:26.32\00:15:29.89
TO DO THE WRONG
THING. AND EVERY DAY I HAVE
00:15:29.92\00:15:32.79
OPPORTUNITIES TO FOLLOW JESUS
AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
00:15:32.83\00:15:35.63
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO
DO WHAT GOD ASKS US TO DO?
00:15:35.66\00:15:40.87
ROMANS 8, VERSE 3 - GOD, SENDING
HIS OWN SON, IN THE LIKENESS OF
00:15:40.90\00:15:47.51
SINFUL FLESH, CONDEMNED SIN IN
THE FLESH THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:15:47.54\00:15:51.98
OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED
IN US WHICH WALK NOT AFTER THE
00:15:52.01\00:15:57.15
FLESH BUT AFTER THE
SPIRIT. IT IS POSSIBLE.
00:15:57.19\00:16:00.29
PHILIPPIANS 1, VERSE 6, "HE
WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU
00:16:00.32\00:16:05.16
WILL COMPLETE IT UNTIL THE
DAY OF JESUS CHRIST." YOU KNOW,
00:16:05.19\00:16:10.40
A FEW YEARS AGO, MATTER OF
FACT, JOHN LOMACANG WAS WITH ME.
00:16:10.43\00:16:14.70
WE WERE DOING A DEBATE - A
FRIENDLY DEBATE ON TELEVISION
00:16:14.74\00:16:17.94
WITH JOHN AND I AND TWO OTHER
MINISTERS AND THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:16:17.97\00:16:21.48
DEBATE WAS THE LAW OF GOD
AND THE MINISTERS WERE SAYING
00:16:21.51\00:16:25.98
THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WAS PART OF THE OLD COVENANT AND
00:16:26.01\00:16:29.08
NOBODY COULD REALLY KEEP THE
LAW AND GOD DIDN'T EXPECT US TO.
00:16:29.12\00:16:33.09
AND SO I ASKED, 'CAN
THE DEVIL TEMPT US TO SIN?'
00:16:33.12\00:16:39.69
THEY SAID, 'WELL, OF COURSE.'
AND I SAID, 'SO YOU BELIEVE THE
00:16:39.73\00:16:42.83
DEVIL HAS THE POWER TO GET US TO
SIN, BUT YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT
00:16:42.86\00:16:46.57
GOD HAS THE POWER
TO KEEP US FROM SIN?
00:16:46.60\00:16:48.84
SO IN EFFECT, YOU'RE SAYING YOUR
DEVIL'S MORE POWERFUL THAN YOUR
00:16:48.87\00:16:52.01
GOD.' ISN'T THAT WHAT - I
MEAN, THAT'S WHERE THAT GOES.
00:16:52.04\00:16:55.51
HOW MUCH CAN I
DO THROUGH CHRIST?
00:16:55.54\00:16:58.18
WITHOUT HIM HOW
MUCH CAN WE DO? NOTHING.
00:16:58.21\00:17:01.42
THROUGH CHRIST, ALL
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:17:01.45\00:17:03.18
WHAT IS THE OLD
COVENANT AND WHY DID IT FAIL?
00:17:03.22\00:17:06.69
ALRIGHT, FIRST LET'S LOOK
AND FIND OUT WHAT THAT WAS.
00:17:06.72\00:17:08.92
YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 4,
VERSE 13 AND YOU'LL FIND THE OLD
00:17:08.96\00:17:12.83
COVENANT MENTIONED THERE.
"SO HE DECLARED TO YOU HIS
00:17:12.86\00:17:16.43
COVENANT WHICH HE COMMANDED YOU
TO PERFORM, EVEN" - HOW MANY?
00:17:16.46\00:17:22.07
>>TEN. >>"TEN
COMMANDMENTS; AND HE
00:17:22.10\00:17:24.34
WROTE THEM ON TWO
TABLETS OF STONE."
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.68
AND SO IT TELLS US THAT
THE OLD COVENANT WAS THE TEN
00:17:26.71\00:17:29.64
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON
THESE TWO TABLES OF STONE -
00:17:29.68\00:17:32.68
WRITTEN BY THE FINGER OF GOD.
00:17:32.71\00:17:34.18
NOW, RIGHT AFTER THE LORD MADE
THE COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE -
00:17:34.22\00:17:38.02
YOU KNOW WHAT A
COVENANT IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT.
00:17:38.05\00:17:39.82
GOD SPOKE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
THERE IN EXODUS 20.
00:17:39.85\00:17:42.59
MOSES LATER BRINGS DOWN THE
WRITTEN COPY, BUT WHILE HE'S UP
00:17:42.62\00:17:46.03
ON THE HILL GETTING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS, WHAT DO THE
00:17:46.06\00:17:48.46
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DO? AND
SO THE BIBLE SAYS IN HEBREWS
00:17:48.50\00:17:51.97
8, VERSE 8, "BECAUSE
FINDING FAULT WITH THEM."
00:17:52.00\00:17:57.87
NOW WAS THE FAULT OF THE OLD
COVENANT WITH THE COVENANT AND
00:17:57.91\00:18:00.48
THE LAW OR WAS IT WITH
THE PEOPLE WHO MADE A PROMISE?
00:18:00.51\00:18:03.55
YOU SEE, THE NEW COVENANT
IS BASED ON BETTER PROMISES.
00:18:03.58\00:18:07.15
THE OLD COVENANT WAS BASED
ON THE PROMISE OF THE PEOPLE.
00:18:07.18\00:18:10.32
'ALL THE LORD HAS SAID, WE
WILL DO IT.' THE NEW COVENANT IS
00:18:10.35\00:18:13.66
BASED ON THE
PROMISE OF THE LORD.
00:18:13.69\00:18:15.76
IT SAYS, IN HEBREWS 8, VERSE 10,
"FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I
00:18:15.79\00:18:21.26
WILL MAKE WITH (THEM) SAYS
THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS
00:18:21.30\00:18:26.53
IN THEIR MINDS AND
WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS."
00:18:26.57\00:18:30.07
INHERENT IN EVERY COMMAND OF GOD
IS BUILT THE POWER TO PERFORM
00:18:30.97\00:18:35.01
WHAT HE'S ASKING. THAT
IS A SIMPLE - IF GOD SAYS,
00:18:35.04\00:18:38.61
'I WANT YOU TO WALK ACROSS
THAT OCEAN THERE.' DON'T ARGUE.
00:18:38.65\00:18:41.48
YOU'LL EITHER WALK ON WATER LIKE
PETER OR HE'LL PART THE OCEAN.
00:18:41.52\00:18:44.79
I MEAN, WHEN GOD ASKS YOU
TO DO SOMETHING, YOU DO IT.
00:18:44.82\00:18:47.72
AND THAT'S CALLED OBEDIENCE AND
WE'RE LIVING IN AN AGE WHERE,
00:18:47.76\00:18:52.49
EVEN IN SOME CHURCHES,
THEY'RE ACTING LIKE OBEDIENCE IS
00:18:52.53\00:18:55.20
LEGALISM. OBEDIENCE IS NOT
LEGALISM. THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO
00:18:55.23\00:18:59.77
INTIMIDATE CHRISTIANS. AS
SOON AS YOU TALK ABOUT THE
00:18:59.80\00:19:02.07
LAW, YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU GET CALLED?
00:19:02.10\00:19:04.04
A DIRTY WORD AMONG CHRISTIANS -
LEGALIST, PHARISEE - AND SO WHAT
00:19:04.07\00:19:08.74
HAPPENED IS PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH
HAVE BEEN SO INTIMIDATED BY
00:19:08.78\00:19:11.11
THOSE TERMS, THE PENDULUM HAS
SWUNG TO THE OTHER SIDE AND NOW
00:19:11.15\00:19:13.52
EVERYBODY IS SO AFRAID TO BE
ACCUSED OF BEING A PHARISEE OR
00:19:13.55\00:19:16.72
LEGALIST, NOBODY TALKS
ABOUT THE LAW. JESUS DID.
00:19:16.75\00:19:20.96
DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GRACE
BY FAITH MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW
00:19:20.99\00:19:24.93
NON-ESSENTIAL?
ROMANS 6:15, "WHAT THEN?
00:19:24.96\00:19:29.00
SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE WE ARE
NOT UNDER LAW BUT UNDER GRACE?"
00:19:29.03\00:19:32.13
- WHAT DOES HE
SAY? >>CERTAINLY NOT!
00:19:32.17\00:19:33.74
>>"GOD FORBID!" AND
AGAIN, IN ROMANS 3, VERSE
00:19:33.77\00:19:37.04
31, "DO WE THEN MAKE
VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?"
00:19:37.07\00:19:40.54
- AGAIN, HE USES
THAT PHRASE - "GOD FORBID!
00:19:40.58\00:19:43.21
YEA, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:19:43.24\00:19:45.18
PAUL SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER
2:13 - "IT'S NOT THE HEARERS OF
00:19:45.21\00:19:49.05
THE LAW THAT WILL BE JUST BEFORE
GOD, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW
00:19:49.08\00:19:51.42
WILL BE JUSTIFIED."
THAT'S WHAT PAUL SAID.
00:19:51.45\00:19:54.19
ARE PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE
LAW? REMEMBER MY ILLUSTRATION?
00:19:54.22\00:19:58.56
IS ANYONE SAVED BY
KEEPING THE LAW? NO.
00:19:58.59\00:20:01.43
EPHESIANS 2, VERSES 8 AND 9, IT
SAYS VERY CLEARLY, "FOR BY GRACE
00:20:01.46\00:20:07.54
ARE WE SAVED THROUGH FAITH AND
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS
00:20:07.57\00:20:11.61
THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS,
LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST."
00:20:11.64\00:20:15.61
WE'RE NOT SAVED BY OUR
OBEDIENCE, BUT IF WE LOVE THE
00:20:15.64\00:20:19.68
LORD WE'LL WANT TO OBEY HIM.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO THE BILLY
00:20:19.71\00:20:22.05
GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
WEBSITE, HE ANSWERS QUESTIONS
00:20:22.08\00:20:25.15
THERE. I JUST
COPIED THIS OFF THE
00:20:25.19\00:20:26.89
WEBSITE BECAUSE DR.
GRAHAM STILL HAS THIS RIGHT.
00:20:26.92\00:20:29.42
QUESTION: DOES GOD EXPECT US
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:29.46\00:20:33.70
ANSWER: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
JUST AS VALID TODAY AS WHEN GOD
00:20:33.73\00:20:38.80
GAVE THEM TO MOSES OVER
THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
00:20:38.83\00:20:41.54
JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:20:41.57\00:20:44.71
DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST
LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF
00:20:44.74\00:20:47.54
THE PEN, WILL BY ANY
MEANS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW."
00:20:47.58\00:20:50.78
AND HE'S GOT A NUMBER OF
OTHER STATEMENTS LIKE THAT.
00:20:50.81\00:20:54.45
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PREACHERS
THAT ARE STILL SAYING THAT.
00:20:54.48\00:20:57.12
THEY'RE ALL SAYING, 'WE'RE NOT
UNDER THE LAW.' AND THAT IS A
00:20:57.15\00:21:00.12
REALLY STRANGE THING BECAUSE IT
MAKES IT SOUND LIKE SIN IS BEING
00:21:00.16\00:21:03.59
ENDORSED. ARE
THERE SOME OLD TESTAMENT
00:21:03.63\00:21:06.83
LAWS NO LONGER BINDING
UPON NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS?
00:21:06.86\00:21:10.13
YES. AND IT TELLS
YOU WHICH ONES THEY ARE.
00:21:10.17\00:21:12.97
YOU CAN READ IN EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW
00:21:13.00\00:21:16.94
OF COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:21:16.97\00:21:20.64
AND IT EXPLAINS
WHAT THESE THINGS ARE.
00:21:20.68\00:21:23.45
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR,
LIKE, YOUR YEARLY SABBATHS, MEAT
00:21:23.48\00:21:26.95
OFFERINGS, DRINK OFFERINGS -
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE
00:21:26.98\00:21:30.49
THE PASSOVER CEREMONY,
CIRCUMCISION - THESE ARE ALL
00:21:30.52\00:21:33.96
CEREMONIAL LAWS. THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE OF
00:21:33.99\00:21:36.79
AN ETERNAL NATURE.
NOW DON'T FORGET THIS:
00:21:36.83\00:21:38.83
TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WRITTEN BY GOD'S FINGER.
00:21:38.86\00:21:41.40
CEREMONIAL LAW,
WRITTEN BY MOSES.
00:21:41.43\00:21:44.03
TEN COMMANDMENTS,
SPOKEN BY GOD'S VOICE.
00:21:44.07\00:21:46.60
CEREMONIAL LAW, SPOKEN BY MOSES
OR THE VOICE OF OTHER JUDGES.
00:21:46.63\00:21:50.61
THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY
DISTINCT - OR SEPARATE - LAWS.
00:21:50.64\00:21:54.34
AND SO THE LAWS THAT WERE
NAILED TO THE CROSS WERE THE
00:21:54.38\00:21:56.78
CEREMONIAL LAWS, NOT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:56.81\00:21:59.65
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GLORIOUS
REWARDS OF KEEPING GOD'S LAW?
00:21:59.68\00:22:04.09
PROVERBS 29, VERSE 18 -
THIS IS AS SIMPLE AS IT GETS.
00:22:04.12\00:22:09.32
HOW CAN YOU
MISUNDERSTAND THIS ONE?
00:22:09.36\00:22:11.13
HE THAT KEEPS THE
LAW, HAPPY IS HE."
00:22:11.16\00:22:15.90
ANYONE HERE WANT
TO BE HAPPY? >>AMEN.
00:22:15.93\00:22:17.60
>>THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S
JOY, THERE'S BLESSING, THERE'S
00:22:17.63\00:22:21.00
HAPPINESS, THERE'S ABUNDANCE.
THIS DOESN'T COME FROM
00:22:21.04\00:22:24.11
DISOBEDIENCE, IT COMES FROM
TRUSTING THE LORD AND OBEYING
00:22:24.14\00:22:27.21
HIM. AND THAT'S
WHAT I WANT TO DO.
00:22:27.24\00:22:30.65
THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO
BE. FURTHERMORE, PSALM 119,
00:22:30.68\00:22:33.98
VERSE 165, NOT ANY KIND OF
PEACE, BUT WHAT KIND OF PEACE?
00:22:34.02\00:22:37.12
>>GREAT. >>"GREAT
PEACE HAVE THEY THAT
00:22:37.15\00:22:40.16
LOVE THY LAW.
NOTHING WILL OFFEND THEM."
00:22:40.19\00:22:43.43
DON'T YOU WANT TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF PEACE?
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.23
WHEN YOU SAY - AND YOU KNOW, IF
YOU'RE STRUGGLING, AS WE ALL DO,
00:22:46.26\00:22:48.73
YOU JUST TELL THE LORD,
'LORD, I WANT TO OBEY YOU.
00:22:48.76\00:22:52.83
I WANT TO BE YOUR CHILD. I WANT
TO BE WILLING TO DO YOUR WILL.
00:22:52.87\00:22:55.40
YOU KNOW, GOD SENDS THIS MESSAGE
TO US BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE
00:22:55.44\00:22:59.91
US, BUT HE CAN'T FORCE US.
BACK IN 1995, A YOUNG MAN DID
00:22:59.94\00:23:06.38
SOMETHING AWFUL -
JUST IMMATURE JEALOUSY.
00:23:06.41\00:23:11.05
THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT WERE
PARKED OUT IN AN ISOLATED SPOT
00:23:11.09\00:23:14.46
IN A CAR AND, I GUESS, THIS
YOUNG MAN, ALLEN - ANDREW ALLEN
00:23:14.49\00:23:21.90
COOK - FELT JILTED BUT HE SHOT
TO DEATH THESE YOUNG COLLEGE
00:23:21.93\00:23:27.80
STUDENTS AND - THE GIRL -
AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:23:27.84\00:23:31.94
IT WAS A MYSTERY.
THE FBI GOT INVOLVED.
00:23:31.97\00:23:34.04
THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHO
DID IT OR WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.
00:23:34.08\00:23:36.44
BUT AT ONE POINT, THE BUREAU
- THE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION IN
00:23:36.48\00:23:42.48
GEORGIA - BEGAN TO ASK SOME
QUESTIONS AND THEY CALLED A GUY
00:23:42.52\00:23:46.72
NAMED JOHN COOK AND THEY SAID,
'COULD YOU HAVE YOUR SON ANDREW
00:23:46.76\00:23:49.39
GIVE US A CALL? WE
WANT TO ASK HIM SOME
00:23:49.42\00:23:51.59
QUESTIONS AND SEE IF HE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT MURDER THAT
00:23:51.63\00:23:53.90
TOOK PLACE.' AND SO
JOHN CALLED HIS SON.
00:23:53.93\00:23:56.93
HE SAID, 'ANDREW,' HE
SAYS, 'THEY'RE - THE BUREAU OF
00:23:56.97\00:23:59.27
INVESTIGATION IN GEORGIA
IS WANTING TO ASK YOU SOME
00:23:59.30\00:24:02.10
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT MURDER AND'
- HE SAID, 'YEAH, DAD, I DID
00:24:02.14\00:24:06.91
IT.' NOW I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT
HIS FATHER WAS AN FBI AGENT.
00:24:06.94\00:24:12.11
THEY HAD NO EVIDENCE ON
HIM. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES.
00:24:12.15\00:24:19.95
THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW WAS
THE FATHER. THE FATHER WAS A
00:24:19.99\00:24:24.66
CHRISTIAN - LOVED HIS SON
- HE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION.
00:24:24.69\00:24:28.03
HE KNEW HE'D GET
THE DEATH PENALTY.
00:24:28.06\00:24:30.43
AND HE SAID, 'DO I PUT THE
LAW ABOVE THE LOVE FOR MY SON?'
00:24:30.47\00:24:38.34
AND HE REALIZED THERE IS
NO LOVE IF THERE ISN'T LAW.
00:24:38.37\00:24:42.68
AND WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS
THAT LOST THEIR CHILDREN?
00:24:42.71\00:24:45.81
AND HE SAID, 'SON, YOU KNOW
WHAT I HAVE TO DO.' THE PRIMARY
00:24:45.85\00:24:50.45
WITNESS DURING THAT TRIAL WAS
JOHN COOK, WITNESSING AGAINST
00:24:50.49\00:24:55.22
HIS SON THAT HE DESPERATELY
LOVED. AND - 2013 - ANDREW WAS
00:24:55.26\00:25:01.60
EXECUTED FOR HIS
MURDERS. GOD WANTS TO SAVE YOU.
00:25:01.63\00:25:06.60
HE'S DESPERATE TO SAVE YOU,
BUT HE ALSO IS A JUST GOD AND HE
00:25:06.63\00:25:11.24
CANNOT SAVE YOU IF YOU WILL NOT
COME TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO SAVE
00:25:11.27\00:25:15.04
YOU FROM YOUR SINS.
