>>IN OUR MESSAGE TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE
00:01:51.84\00:01:55.21
MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY.
THE TRINITY IS PROBABLY ONE OF
00:01:55.24\00:02:01.32
THE DEEPEST AND MOST SUBLIME,
PROFOUND SUBJECTS THAT WE COULD
00:02:01.35\00:02:06.39
EXPLORE. IN OUR
PRAYER, PREPARING FOR THE
00:02:06.42\00:02:10.56
SERVICE, OUR BROTHER JUST SAID
'WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO PASTOR
00:02:10.59\00:02:14.56
DOUG EXPLAINING THIS MYSTERY.'
I WANT TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IT
00:02:14.60\00:02:18.10
WILL STILL BE A MYSTERY
WHEN THE SERMON IS OVER.
00:02:18.13\00:02:21.74
SO I'M NOT GOING TO PRESUME THAT
I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK
00:02:21.77\00:02:27.18
ALL THE
MYSTERIES OF GOD FOR YOU.
00:02:27.21\00:02:28.94
THIS IS A MYSTERY THAT WE WILL
DELVE INTO A LITTLE BIT TOGETHER
00:02:28.98\00:02:32.85
AND THERE'LL BE MANY THINGS
THAT ARE STILL VERY MYSTERIOUS
00:02:32.88\00:02:35.75
ABOUT IT. IT'S
LIKE YOU AND I TRYING TO
00:02:35.78\00:02:38.59
LOOK AT THE COSMOS
THROUGH A MAGNIFYING GLASS.
00:02:38.62\00:02:41.76
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO TAKE IT ALL IN.
00:02:41.79\00:02:44.63
SO IN THE BIBLE, WHEN WE TRY
TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERY OF THE
00:02:44.66\00:02:47.93
TRINITY, WE'RE
VENTURING ON HOLY GROUND.
00:02:47.96\00:02:53.13
IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE
INAPPROPRIATE FOR ME TO TAKE MY
00:02:53.17\00:02:55.24
SHOES OFF DURING THIS SERMON.
THE CARPET WOULD FEEL PRETTY
00:02:55.27\00:02:58.01
GOOD, I KNOW, BUT IT
MIGHT BE A DISTRACTION FOR YOU.
00:02:58.04\00:03:04.55
BUT IT IS HOLY GROUND
AND THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR:
00:03:04.58\00:03:07.65
WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND GOD.
00:03:07.68\00:03:09.58
LET ME JUST GIVE
YOU A FEW VERSES.
00:03:09.62\00:03:10.85
IN FACT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE
A PENCIL HANDY, WE'LL BE LOOKING
00:03:10.89\00:03:14.02
AT A LOT OF SCRIPTURE TODAY
AND I'LL BE READING THEM QUICKLY
00:03:14.06\00:03:17.43
SO AS TO COVER
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
00:03:17.46\00:03:19.86
"'FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR
THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY
00:03:19.89\00:03:23.26
WAYS,' SAYS THE LORD, 'FOR AS
THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE
00:03:23.30\00:03:26.70
EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER
THAN YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS
00:03:26.74\00:03:30.57
THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.'" GOD
IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN WE CAN
00:03:30.61\00:03:34.41
COMPREHEND. PSALM 145, VERSE 3,
"GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY
00:03:34.44\00:03:39.68
TO BE PRAISED; AND HIS
GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE."
00:03:39.71\00:03:43.59
NOW, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE SAVED -
AND I PRAY I AM - I PRAY YOU ARE
00:03:43.62\00:03:48.66
- THAT'S WHY
WE'RE ALL HERE, RIGHT?
00:03:48.69\00:03:51.13
YOU'LL LIVE FOR HOW LONG?
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
00:03:51.16\00:03:57.80
WILL YOU EVER SAY
'I UNDERSTAND GOD'?
00:03:57.83\00:04:01.30
SO IF THROUGH ETERNITY WE KNOW
THAT WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
00:04:01.34\00:04:04.84
FULLY COMPREHEND GOD - YOU HAVE
TO BE GOD TO UNDERSTAND GOD -
00:04:04.87\00:04:09.64
THEN HOW MUCH CAN
WE KNOW IN THIS LIFE?
00:04:09.68\00:04:11.88
BUT THE LORD DOES WANT US
TO KNOW WHAT HE'S REVEALED.
00:04:11.91\00:04:15.42
BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
IS A BIG SUBJECT AND WE'RE NOT
00:04:15.45\00:04:17.92
CLAIMING THAT WE
CAN UNPACK IT FOR YOU.
00:04:17.95\00:04:20.22
AGAIN, ROMANS 11:33, "OH, THE
DEPTH OF THE RICHES BOTH OF THE
00:04:20.26\00:04:24.23
WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF
GOD! HOW UNSEARCHEABLE ARE HIS
00:04:24.26\00:04:28.00
JUDGMENTS AND HIS
WAYS PAST FINDING OUT?"
00:04:28.03\00:04:32.37
PAST FINDING OUT. JOB
26:14, "INDEED THESE ARE THE
00:04:32.40\00:04:37.74
MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW
SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM!
00:04:37.77\00:04:42.91
BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS
POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?"
00:04:42.94\00:04:46.35
HERE IN THIS WORLD WE JUST GET
A FRAGMENT OF A WHISPER OF WHAT
00:04:46.38\00:04:50.65
THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT GOD, BUT
WHO CAN COMPREHEND THE THUNDER?
00:04:50.69\00:04:53.82
'WHAT'S THUNDER
COMPARED TO A WHISPER?'
00:04:53.86\00:04:56.22
- IS WHAT JOB IS
SAYING. WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?
00:04:56.26\00:04:59.93
JOHN WESLEY SAID, 'BRING ME A
WORM THAT CAN COMPREHEND A MAN
00:04:59.96\00:05:04.17
AND I'LL SHOW YOU A MAN THAT CAN
COMPREHEND THE TRIUNE GOD.' SO I
00:05:04.20\00:05:08.14
JUST WANTED TO LAY THE
GROUNDWORK HERE THAT I'M NOT
00:05:08.17\00:05:11.21
PRETENDING THAT I'M NOW GOING TO
REVEAL THE MYSTERY OF GOD OR THE
00:05:11.24\00:05:14.74
TRINITY, BUT LET'S LOOK AT SOME
THINGS THAT ARE REVEALED IN THE
00:05:14.78\00:05:18.45
BIBLE AND UNDERSTAND
THIS AS WELL AS WE CAN.
00:05:18.48\00:05:21.05
NOW THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
SUBJECT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
00:05:21.08\00:05:24.85
DO YOU KNOW WARS HAVE
BEEN FOUGHT OVER THIS SUBJECT?
00:05:24.89\00:05:27.82
IT'S BEEN - NATIONS HAVE
BEEN ERADICATED BECAUSE OF
00:05:27.86\00:05:32.83
DISAGREEMENTS OVER
THE BELIEF OF THE SUBJECT.
00:05:32.86\00:05:35.76
NOW SOMEONE'S GOING TO
SAY, 'DOUG, YOU'RE TEACHING A
00:05:35.80\00:05:37.50
DOCTRINE THAT'S
NOT EVEN IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:37.53\00:05:39.20
YOU DON'T FIND THE WORD TRINITY
IN THE BIBLE.' THAT'S TRUE.
00:05:39.23\00:05:42.04
YOU DO NOT FIND THE
WORD 'TRINITY' IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:42.07\00:05:44.41
THE WORD 'TRINITY' SIMPLY MEANS
'TRI' - LIKE A TRICYCLE HAS HOW
00:05:44.44\00:05:47.38
MANY WHEELS? THREE.
TRI-'ENTITY' - THREE ENTITIES.
00:05:47.41\00:05:51.38
IT'S TALKING - IT'S A WORD THAT
WE USE TO DESCRIBE THE DOCTRINE
00:05:51.41\00:05:53.98
OF THE THREE
ENTITIES IN THE GODHEAD.
00:05:54.02\00:05:56.52
THE BIBLE DOES USE
THE WORD 'GODHEAD'.
00:05:56.55\00:05:58.75
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE WORD TRINITY.
00:05:58.79\00:06:00.49
YOU DON'T FIND THE
WORD. RAPTURE IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:00.52\00:06:02.92
YOU DON'T FIND THE
WORD 'BIBLE' IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:02.96\00:06:06.26
SO WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE
BIBLE BECAUSE THE WORD 'BIBLE'
00:06:06.29\00:06:08.20
IS NOT IN THE BIBLE?
00:06:08.23\00:06:10.17
THERE'S A LOT OF WORDS THAT WE
DON'T FIND, PER SE - MILLENNIUM
00:06:10.20\00:06:13.17
IS NOT IN THE BIBLE BUT IF WE
TALK ABOUT THE DOCTRINE OF THE
00:06:13.20\00:06:15.64
MILLENNIUM IT TALKS ABOUT THE
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD THAT YOU
00:06:15.67\00:06:18.71
SEE THERE IN REVELATION CHAPTER
20 AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF TERMS
00:06:18.74\00:06:22.11
THAT WE USE - THEOLOGICAL TERMS
TO DISCUSS VARIOUS DOCTRINES AND
00:06:22.14\00:06:26.11
THIS IS CALLED THE DOCTRINE OF
THE TRINITY - THE THREE ENTITIES
00:06:26.15\00:06:28.82
THAT COMPOSE THE BIBLE GOD.
AND SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE
00:06:28.85\00:06:33.32
DISCUSSING. THERE'S
NO CONFLICT IN THAT.
00:06:33.36\00:06:35.89
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME
EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:35.92\00:06:39.19
MATTHEW 28 - SOME OF
THE LAST WORDS OF JESUS.
00:06:39.23\00:06:42.76
AFTER HE SENDS THE DISCIPLES
INTO THE WORLD HE SAYS, IN
00:06:42.80\00:06:45.97
MATTHEW 28:19, "GO THEREFORE
AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.37
NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE
NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE
00:06:49.40\00:06:54.78
SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
NOW, IT IS TRUE, IN THE NEW
00:06:54.81\00:06:59.38
TESTAMENT, IN THE BOOK OF ACTS,
WHEN THE DISCIPLES WENT OUT IT
00:06:59.41\00:07:02.68
SAYS THEY WENT AND THEY BAPTIZED
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OR IN
00:07:02.72\00:07:06.02
THE NAME OF THE LORD,
JESUS OR IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:07:06.05\00:07:09.02
BUT JESUS DEFINITELY SAID, 'THE
NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND
00:07:09.06\00:07:12.09
HOLY SPIRIT.' THAT TELLS
ME, SOMETIMES, THAT THE EXACT
00:07:12.13\00:07:15.00
WORDING IN THE BAPTISM IS NOT
THE BIG ISSUE; IT'S THAT YOU'RE
00:07:15.03\00:07:18.70
GETTING BAPTIZED INTO THE
NAME OF THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
00:07:18.73\00:07:23.57
AND JESUS SAID,
'FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT'
00:07:23.61\00:07:25.51
AND THAT'S GOOD
ENOUGH FOR ME, AMEN?
00:07:25.54\00:07:28.08
NOW, HERE'S THE QUESTION:
CAN GOD BE BIBLICALLY ACCURATE
00:07:28.11\00:07:31.61
SAYING - COULD THE BIBLE BE
ACCURATE - CAN CHRISTIANS BE
00:07:31.65\00:07:35.12
RIGHT SAYING, 'THERE'S ONE GOD'
AND YET SAYING, 'ONE DOESN'T
00:07:35.15\00:07:39.72
ALWAYS MEAN ONE.' NOW
THAT'S THE THING TO UNDERSTAND.
00:07:39.75\00:07:44.26
NOW THIS ISN'T DOUBLE
TALK, THIS IS GOOD SCRIPTURE.
00:07:44.29\00:07:46.46
AGAIN, I'M JUST GIVING YOU A FEW
VERSES. FOR INSTANCE, RIGHT IN
00:07:46.49\00:07:49.03
THE BEGINNING - GENESIS 1:26
- GOD SAYS, "LET US MAKE MAN
00:07:49.06\00:07:55.14
IN OUR IMAGE,
ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS."
00:07:55.17\00:07:58.07
NOW, DO YOU HEAR
MORE THAN ONE IN THAT?
00:07:58.11\00:08:00.74
DO YOU KNOW THE WORD THAT'S
USED THERE IN HEBREW FOR GOD IS
00:08:00.78\00:08:04.31
ELOHIM. THAT WORD
'ELOHIM' IS PLURAL.
00:08:04.35\00:08:07.62
IT'S LIKE 'WE' - 'US' - WHENEVER
I SAY THAT THEN - IF I SAY, 'WE
00:08:07.65\00:08:13.59
ARE GOING TO THE STORE.' KAREN
WOULD SAY, 'WHO ARE YOU GOING
00:08:13.62\00:08:15.86
WITH?' I WOULD
SAY, 'I'M TALKING ABOUT
00:08:15.89\00:08:17.86
MYSELF.' YOU WOULD
SAY, 'WHAT'S WRONG?
00:08:17.89\00:08:19.79
DOUG'S TALKING ABOUT 'WE' -
HAS HE BECOME SCHIZOPHRENIC?
00:08:19.83\00:08:22.56
HAS HE GOT SPLIT
PERSONALITY PROBLEMS?'
00:08:22.60\00:08:26.00
SO WHEN GOD SAYS THIS IT'S
NOT BECAUSE GOD IS CONFUSED, THE
00:08:26.03\00:08:31.64
PRIMARY WORD USED FOR 'GOD'
OVER 2,700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE IS
00:08:31.67\00:08:36.51
'ELOHIM' - IT'S THE PLURAL.
THERE'S THE OTHER WORD 'EL'
00:08:36.54\00:08:39.55
WHICH IS SINGULAR, BUT THE
INSPIRED WRITERS CHOSE TO USE
00:08:39.58\00:08:43.79
'ELOHIM' TEN
TIMES MORE THAN 'EL'.
00:08:43.82\00:08:48.76
THIS IS ALL THROUGH THE - MOSTLY
OLD TESTAMENT. IT'S A PLURAL.
00:08:48.79\00:08:52.63
GOD HAS COMMUNICATED HIMSELF TO
US AS A PLURAL GOD BECAUSE HE IS
00:08:52.66\00:08:57.13
COMPOSED OF THESE THREE PERSONS.
NOW THIS IS A MYSTERY AND IT MAY
00:08:57.17\00:09:01.47
STILL BE A
MYSTERY WHEN WE'RE DONE.
00:09:01.50\00:09:04.17
AND THEN, OF COURSE, - AND SOME
PEOPLE CHALLENGE THIS VERSE BUT
00:09:04.21\00:09:06.68
IT'S IN THE BIBLE. I BELIEVE IT.
00:09:06.71\00:09:08.11
1 JOHN 5:7, "FOR THERE ARE THREE
THAT BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN: THE
00:09:08.14\00:09:12.55
FATHER," - THAT'S FATHER - GOD
THE FATHER - "THE WORD," - JESUS
00:09:12.58\00:09:16.32
IS THE WORD BECOME FLESH - "AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND THESE THREE
00:09:16.35\00:09:20.16
ARE ONE." THAT'S
HARD TO MISUNDERSTAND.
00:09:20.19\00:09:23.43
THE THREE ARE ONE.
00:09:23.46\00:09:26.90
JOHN 17:20 - NOW THIS IS,
I THINK, THE BEST EXAMPLE.
00:09:26.93\00:09:29.63
THIS IS IN THE SPECIAL
INTERCESSORY PRAYER OF JESUS -
00:09:29.66\00:09:33.34
JOHN 17:20 - I'LL
READ ALSO VERSE 21.
00:09:33.37\00:09:36.74
CHRIST SAID, "I DO NOT PRAY FOR
THESE ALONE, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE
00:09:36.77\00:09:40.04
WHO WILL BELIEVE IN ME
THROUGH THEIR WORD;" - WHAT'S HE
00:09:40.08\00:09:42.38
PRAYING? - "THAT
THE ALL MAY BE ONE."
00:09:42.41\00:09:45.35
- NOW HE'S PRAYING FOR THE
TWELVE APOSTLES AND HE'S PRAYING
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.08
THAT THEY CAN BE ONE. HOW?
- "AS YOU, FATHER, ARE IN ME,
00:09:47.12\00:09:53.15
AND I IN YOU." -
NOTICE, GOD IS IN JESUS AND
00:09:53.19\00:09:55.89
JESUS IS IN GOD.
THAT'S GOING TO COME UP LATER.
00:09:55.92\00:09:59.36
- "THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE" -
THERE IT IS AGAIN - "IN US, THAT
00:09:59.39\00:10:04.53
THE WORLD MAY
BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME."
00:10:04.57\00:10:07.57
SO YOU'VE GOT A
NATION THAT'S ONE.
00:10:07.60\00:10:09.04
YOU'VE GOT THE APOSTLES ARE ONE.
YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE THAT'S ONE,
00:10:09.07\00:10:11.27
BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE'S
MANY PERSONS INVOLVED IN THOSE.
00:10:11.31\00:10:13.98
SO IT'S NOT INCONSISTENT FOR US
TO SAY THAT THERE'S ONE GOD, BUT
00:10:14.01\00:10:18.51
IN THE CHRISTIAN - ONE GOD -
IT IS COMPOSED OF THREE PERSONS.
00:10:18.55\00:10:23.72
NOW, I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE
MORE ABOUT 'IS JESUS GOD AND IS
00:10:23.75\00:10:27.89
THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD?'
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR ME TALK
00:10:27.92\00:10:30.36
A LOT ABOUT 'IS GOD THE
FATHER GOD?' YOU KNOW WHY?
00:10:30.39\00:10:33.23
I'VE NEVER RUN INTO
ANYBODY THAT HAS THAT PROBLEM.
00:10:33.26\00:10:37.53
MOST CHRISTIANS AGREE THAT GOD
THE FATHER IS GOD - THAT HE GETS
00:10:37.57\00:10:42.74
TO BE THE SUPREME GOD AND HE'S
ALWAYS BEEN - THOUGH, YOU KNOW,
00:10:42.77\00:10:48.51
THERE ARE, ACTUALLY, SOME WHO
BELIEVE THAT THE GOD WHO MADE
00:10:48.54\00:10:51.28
OUR UNIVERSE ONCE WAS A LOWER
GOD BUT HE'S WORKED HIS WAY UP
00:10:51.31\00:10:56.55
TO BEING A BIGGER GOD AND THERE
ARE OTHER GODS ABOVE HIM - IF
00:10:56.58\00:11:00.32
YOU COULD GO FAR ENOUGH
INTO SPACE YOU'D FIND THEM.
00:11:00.36\00:11:02.99
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT
WOULD IMPLY THAT GOD IS LEARNING
00:11:03.02\00:11:09.83
AND HOW COULD YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING AND STILL LEARN?
00:11:09.86\00:11:13.90
ASK A TEENAGER
(LAUGHTER) IN HIGH SCHOOL.
00:11:13.94\00:11:19.41
SO GOD, OBVIOUSLY, IF HE
KNOWS EVERYTHING, AND IF HE IS
00:11:19.44\00:11:24.18
ALMIGHTY, HOW CAN HE
BE MIGHTIER THAN ALMIGHTY?
00:11:24.21\00:11:29.02
BUT MOST PEOPLE AGREE THAT GOD
IS SUPREME, BUT THEY STRUGGLE
00:11:29.05\00:11:33.25
WITH 'WHAT IS THE ROLE OF JESUS
AND WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE
00:11:33.29\00:11:36.22
SPIRIT?' BY THE
WAY, ANOTHER VIEW OF
00:11:36.26\00:11:39.43
ARIANISM IS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS NOT A PERSON - NOT ONLY THAT
00:11:39.46\00:11:43.63
HE WAS CREATED BY JESUS - BUT
THAT HE'S NOT A PERSON BUT HE'S
00:11:43.67\00:11:46.77
'THE FORCE' - KIND
OF AN IMPERSONAL FORCE
00:11:46.80\00:11:49.84
THAT GOD WORKS THROUGH.
00:11:49.87\00:11:52.04
AND SO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT SOME OF THOSE CONCEPTS.
00:11:52.07\00:11:55.68
FIRST OF ALL,
IS JESUS FULLY GOD?
00:11:55.71\00:12:01.88
WELL, LET'S FIND
OUT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:12:01.92\00:12:03.75
MATTHEW 1:23, "'THEY SHALL CALL
HIS NAME IMMANUEL,' WHICH IS
00:12:03.79\00:12:08.46
TRANSLATED, 'GOD WITH US.'"
THE INCARNATION IS GOD - FULLY A
00:12:08.49\00:12:15.73
HUNDRED PERCENT GOD BECOMING
A MAN - THAT'S A MYSTERY.
00:12:15.76\00:12:18.87
YOU'VE GOT A MYSTERY OF
GODLINESS IN THE BIBLE AND
00:12:18.90\00:12:21.27
THAT'S HOW GOD BECAME A MAN.
YOU HAVE A MYSTERY OF INIQUITY
00:12:21.30\00:12:23.97
IN THE BIBLE AND THAT'S
HOW A CREATURE - THE DEVIL -
00:12:24.01\00:12:26.51
WANTED TO BE GOD. HOW
COULD THE CREATURE THINK,
00:12:26.54\00:12:30.35
'I CAN OVERTHROW THE CREATOR'?
THAT'S A CRAZY THOUGHT.
00:12:30.38\00:12:32.61
THAT'S A MYSTERY TO ME - HOW THE
DEVIL THINKS THAT HE CAN SOMEHOW
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.25
LAUNCH A WAR - HE'S A
CREATION - AGAINST HIS CREATOR.
00:12:35.28\00:12:39.35
HOW SOMETHING THAT HAD A LIMITED
EXISTENCE COULD LAUNCH A WAR AND
00:12:39.39\00:12:44.33
SAY, 'I AM GOING TO TAKE
OVER THE PLACE OF THE ONE WHO IS
00:12:44.36\00:12:47.30
SELF-EXISTENT AND
ETERNAL. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:12:47.30\00:12:50.93
BUT THAT'S WHAT HE
DID. >>THERE IS NO SUBJECT
00:12:50.97\00:12:54.20
BIGGER THAN GOD. AND
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GOD,
00:12:54.24\00:12:57.14
WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS
HE'S PAST FINDING OUT.
00:12:57.17\00:13:00.08
BUT THERE IS AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT
OF TRUTH IN THE BIBLE THAT
00:13:00.11\00:13:03.11
REVEALS SOMETHING TO US ABOUT
THE NATURE OF GOD: WHO ARE THE
00:13:03.14\00:13:07.58
FATHER, SON, AND
HOLY SPIRIT? IS JESUS GOD?
00:13:07.62\00:13:10.55
IS THE HOLY SPIRIT GOD?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO UNDERSTAND
00:13:10.59\00:13:13.09
THIS FROM A
BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE?

00:13:20.93\00:13:23.16

ELSE, BECAUSE GOD'S
MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION.
00:13:38.11\00:13:42.78
SO THERE'S THE MYSTERY OF
GOD - GOD LOWERING HIMSELF AND
00:13:42.82\00:13:46.05
BECOMING A MAN - AND THERE'S
THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY - THE
00:13:46.09\00:13:48.72
CREATURE TRYING TO
EXALT HIMSELF AND BECOME GOD.
00:13:48.76\00:13:52.43
WHAT DID THE DEVIL
SAY TO ADAM AND EVE?
00:13:52.46\00:13:54.83
'LISTEN TO ME, YOU'LL BE
LIKE GOD.' WHY DID HE SAY THAT?
00:13:54.83\00:13:57.87
THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED.
PEOPLE OFTEN SUPERIMPOSE ON
00:13:57.90\00:14:01.87
OTHERS THEIR DESIRES.
HEBREWS 1:8, IS JESUS GOD?
00:14:01.90\00:14:06.78
"BUT UNTO THE SON HE SAITH,
'THY THRONE, O GOD.'" NOW WAIT A
00:14:06.81\00:14:11.25
SECOND - HEBREWS 1:8, "BUT UNTO
THE SON" - GOD, THE FATHER -
00:14:11.28\00:14:14.98
"UNTO THE SON HE SAITH, 'THY
THRONE, O GOD.'" TO THE SON, THE
00:14:15.02\00:14:18.89
FATHER SAYS, 'THY THRONE, O GOD
IS FOREVER AND EVER.' SO WHAT
00:14:18.92\00:14:23.02
DOES THE FATHER CALL THE SON?
'O GOD'. "FOR EVER AND EVER:
00:14:23.06\00:14:28.43
A SCEPTRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS THE SCEPTRE OF THY KINGDOM."
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.43
WHEN JESUS AROSE FROM THE DEAD
- REMEMBER, THE FIRST WEEK HE
00:14:31.47\00:14:36.37
APPEARED THOMAS MISSED IT - HE
SAID, 'I WON'T BELIEVE UNTIL I
00:14:36.40\00:14:40.78
SEE THE PRINT IN HIS HANDS AND
THE SCAR IN HIS SIDE.' AND THEN
00:14:40.81\00:14:45.11
JESUS APPEARED THAT NEXT
WEEK AND HE SAID, 'THOMAS, YOU
00:14:45.15\00:14:49.85
BELIEVE BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN.'
THOMAS FALLS DOWN AND YOU KNOW
00:14:49.88\00:14:52.32
WHAT HE SAYS? "MY LORD
AND MY GOD." BY THE WAY,
00:14:52.35\00:14:56.22
THAT'S JOHN 20, VERSE
26 AND ON THROUGH VERSE 29.
00:14:56.26\00:15:00.40
AND DID JESUS SAY, 'NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO, DON'T SAY THAT.
00:15:00.43\00:15:02.90
LET'S NOT GET CARRIED
AWAY.' OR DID HE ACCEPT THAT?
00:15:02.93\00:15:06.43
'MY LORD AND MY GOD' HE
CALLED JESUS BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
00:15:06.47\00:15:10.81
NOW, QUICKLY, SOME DEFINITIONS:
THE BIBLE SAYS WE SHOULD ONLY
00:15:10.84\00:15:15.24
WORSHIP GOD. IS THAT
ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:15:15.28\00:15:17.81
EVEN JESUS CITED
THAT BACK TO SATAN.
00:15:17.85\00:15:19.91
MATTHEW 28 -
SHOULD WE WORSHIP JESUS?
00:15:19.95\00:15:23.49
"AND AS THEY WENT TO TELL
HIS DISCIPLES, BEHOLD, JESUS MET
00:15:23.52\00:15:27.36
THEM, SAYING 'ALL HAIL.'" - HAIL
MEANS 'WORSHIP' - "AND THEY CAME
00:15:27.39\00:15:31.69
AND HELD HIM BY THE
FEET, AND WORSHIPPED HIM."
00:15:31.73\00:15:35.30
AND HE RECEIVED THE WORSHIP.
00:15:35.33\00:15:36.87
BUT THE BIBLE
SAYS ONLY WORSHIP GOD.
00:15:36.90\00:15:38.80
HEBREWS 1:6 - IT SAYS WE'RE ONLY
SUPPOSED TO WORSHIP GOD BUT ALL
00:15:38.83\00:15:43.41
THE ANGELS WORSHIP
JESUS - THAT'S IN HEBREWS 1:6.
00:15:43.44\00:15:47.28
REVELATION 7:11 - YOU CAN
REMEMBER THAT - THAT'S THE
00:15:47.31\00:15:52.11
CONVENIENT VERSE IN REVELATION -
"AND ALL THE ANGELS STOOD ROUND
00:15:52.15\00:15:56.18
ABOUT THE THRONE, AND ABOUT THE
ELDERS AND THE FOUR BEASTS, AND
00:15:56.22\00:15:58.95
FELL BEFORE THE THRONE ON THEIR
FACES, AND WORSHIPPED GOD."
00:15:58.99\00:16:03.76
SO THE ANGELS WORSHIPPED
GOD AND, YET, IT SAYS THE ANGELS
00:16:03.79\00:16:06.19
WORSHIPPED JESUS. WELL, IF JESUS
IS GOD, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
00:16:06.23\00:16:10.20
YOU CAN ONLY WORSHIP HIM - YOU
CAN ONLY WORSHIP GOD - BUT IF
00:16:10.23\00:16:14.74
THEY WORSHIPPED JESUS HE MUST BE
GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS GOD CREATED.
00:16:14.77\00:16:19.97
YOU'VE READ THE FIRST VERSE
IN THE BIBLE BEFORE - 'IN THE
00:16:20.01\00:16:22.68
BEGINNING GOD CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.'
00:16:22.71\00:16:25.11
ALRIGHT, WHO IS
THAT GOD THAT CREATED?
00:16:25.15\00:16:27.32
1 JOHN - NOT 1 JOHN, SORRY -
JOHN CHAPTER 1, VERSE 1, "IN THE
00:16:27.35\00:16:32.12
BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE
WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD
00:16:32.15\00:16:35.26
WAS GOD." - WHO IS THAT WORD?
00:16:35.29\00:16:38.09
THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT
AMONG US - THAT'S JESUS, RIGHT?
00:16:38.13\00:16:41.43
- "THE SAME WAS IN
THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.
00:16:41.46\00:16:43.16
ALL THINGS" - AND THIS IS VERY
CLEAR IN THE GREEK - "ALL THINGS
00:16:43.20\00:16:47.27
WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT
HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT
00:16:47.30\00:16:53.58
WAS MADE." NOTHING WAS MADE
THAT WAS MADE, WITHOUT JESUS.
00:16:53.61\00:16:56.58
THAT MEANS THAT JESUS WAS
NOT MADE. HE HAS ALWAYS EXISTED.
00:16:56.61\00:17:01.78
HE SAYS, 'I AM THE ALPHA AND THE
OMEGA.' THAT MEANS AS FAR AS YOU
00:17:01.82\00:17:04.95
CAN GO - THE BEGINNING AND THE
END - AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO IN
00:17:04.99\00:17:07.49
THAT DIRECTION - AS FAR AS YOU
CAN GO - 'ETERNITY TO ETERNITY
00:17:07.52\00:17:10.39
I AM GOD' - HE'S
ALWAYS BEEN THERE.
00:17:10.43\00:17:13.29
HEBREWS 1, VERSES 1 AND 2, "GOD,
WHO AT VARIOUS TIMES AND IN
00:17:13.33\00:17:17.27
VARIOUS WAYS SPOKE IN TIME PAST
TO THE FATHERS BY THE PROPHETS,
00:17:17.30\00:17:20.44
HAS IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN
TO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HAS
00:17:20.47\00:17:24.34
APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS,
THROUGH WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE
00:17:24.37\00:17:27.68
WORLDS;" IN THE BEGINNING
GOD CREATED. JESUS IS GOD.
00:17:27.71\00:17:33.28
EPHESIANS 3:9, "AND TO MAKE ALL
SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF
00:17:33.31\00:17:37.69
THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE AGES HAS BEEN
00:17:37.72\00:17:41.26
HIDDEN IN GOD WHO CREATED ALL
THINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST;"
00:17:41.29\00:17:47.20
JESUS IS GOD AND
GOD MADE ALL THINGS.
00:17:47.23\00:17:49.90
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THERE'S
ONLY ONE SAVIOR - THAT GOD IS
00:17:49.93\00:17:52.90
OUR SAVIOR. ISAIAH
43 - ONE SAVIOR - 43,
00:17:52.93\00:17:59.31
VERSE 11 - ISAIAH, "I, EVEN
I, AM THE LORD, AND BESIDES ME
00:17:59.34\00:18:04.18
THERE IS NO SAVIOR."
BUT WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:18:04.21\00:18:08.22
JUDE 25, "TO GOD OUR SAVIOR" -
SO ONLY ONE SAVIOR - GOD IS OUR
00:18:08.25\00:18:14.39
SAVIOR IN JUDE 25 AND
THERE ARE MANY VERSES IN THE NEW
00:18:14.42\00:18:18.09
TESTAMENT, INCLUDING THIS ONE, 1
JOHN 4:14, THAT SAY JESUS IS OUR
00:18:18.13\00:18:21.86
SAVIOR - "AND WE HAVE SEEN AND
TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT
00:18:21.90\00:18:25.73
THE SON AS SAVIOR OF THE
WORLD." NOW, AM I MAKING SENSE?
00:18:25.77\00:18:30.64
THERE'S ONLY ONE SAVIOR - GOD IS
OUR SAVIOR - AND THE BIBLE SAYS
00:18:30.67\00:18:34.54
JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR. THE
ONLY WAY YOU CAN RECONCILE
00:18:34.58\00:18:37.55
THOSE IS TO SAY JESUS IS
GOD. SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:18:37.58\00:18:41.68
SO DID JESUS CLAIM EQUALITY WITH
GOD? WOULDN'T THAT SETTLE IT?
00:18:41.72\00:18:48.29
NOTICE - JOHN 5:17 AND VERSE 18,
"BUT JESUS ANSWERED THEM, 'MY
00:18:48.32\00:18:54.46
FATHER HAS BEEN WORKING UNTIL
NOW, AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING.'
00:18:54.46\00:18:57.43
THEREFORE THE JEWS SOUGHT ALL
THE MORE TO KILL HIM, BECAUSE HE
00:18:57.47\00:19:00.10
NOT ONLY BROKE THE SABBATH," -
OR AT LEAST THEY ACCUSED HIM OF
00:19:00.14\00:19:02.47
THAT - "BUT ALSO SAID THAT GOD
WAS HIS FATHER, MAKING HIMSELF
00:19:02.50\00:19:06.47
EQUAL WITH GOD." I
MEAN, JESUS KNEW WHAT HE WAS
00:19:06.51\00:19:09.91
SAYING AND THE JEWS KNEW
WHY THEY WANTED TO KILL HIM.
00:19:09.94\00:19:12.85
AGAIN, JOHN 10:30, "I
AND MY FATHER ARE ONE."
00:19:12.88\00:19:17.99
SO THERE, AGAIN, YOU HAVE
THE IDEA OF, CAN GOD BE ONE AND
00:19:18.02\00:19:22.86
STILL BE MORE THAN ONE PERSON?
THEN THE JEWS TOOK UP STONES TO
00:19:22.89\00:19:26.80
STONE HIM AGAIN BECAUSE
THEY KNEW WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT.
00:19:26.83\00:19:31.20
JOHN 14:9, "JESUS SAID TO HIM,
'HAVE I BEEN WITH YOU SO LONG,
00:19:31.23\00:19:34.54
AND YET YOU HAVE
NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP?
00:19:34.57\00:19:36.54
HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN
THE FATHER, SO HOW CAN YOU SAY,
00:19:36.57\00:19:40.58
'SHOW US THE FATHER?' "
IT SAYS, 'WE'RE THE SAME.'
00:19:40.61\00:19:44.65
NOW, WHAT EVERYONE GETS STUMPED
ON - IF YOU TALK TO AN ATHEIST
00:19:44.68\00:19:48.35
ABOUT GOD OR AN AGNOSTIC AND
THEY SAY, ALRIGHT, I CAN TELL
00:19:48.38\00:19:52.05
YOU WHERE THE
UNIVERSE CAME FROM.
00:19:52.09\00:19:54.02
WHERE DID GOD COME FROM?'
I'LL SAY, 'WELL, I DON'T KNOW
00:19:54.06\00:19:56.86
WHERE GOD CAME FROM BUT YOU
CAN'T TELL ME WHERE THE UNIVERSE
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.99
CAME FROM BECAUSE WHAT YOU'LL DO
IS YOU'LL SAY, 'OUR WORLD CAME
00:19:59.03\00:20:02.66
FROM OUR SOLAR SYSTEM WHEN IT
FORMED AND THE SUN EXPLODED AND
00:20:02.70\00:20:05.37
SENT THESE PLANETS SPIRALING OUT
INTO SPACE.' 'WHERE'D THE SUN
00:20:05.40\00:20:08.44
COME FROM?' 'WELL,' -
THEY'LL SAY - 'THE SUN
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.61
CAME FROM, YOU KNOW, A SUPERNOVA
OUT THERE WHEN THERE WAS AN
00:20:11.64\00:20:15.21
EXPLOSION AND ALL THESE
SUNS WERE SENT WHIRLING OFF INTO
00:20:15.24\00:20:18.28
SPACE.' I'LL SAY,
'OKAY, WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?'
00:20:18.31\00:20:22.42
'WELL, THESE NEBULOUS GAS
PARTICLES COLLIDED AND EXPLODED
00:20:22.45\00:20:25.95
AND THERE WAS A BIG BANG.' I'D
SAY, 'ALRIGHT, WHERE'D THE STUFF
00:20:25.99\00:20:29.66
COME FROM - THAT COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL THAT CAUSED THE BIG
00:20:29.69\00:20:32.73
BANG?' AND, EVENTUALLY,
EVOLUTIONISTS, ATHIESTS,
00:20:32.76\00:20:37.77
AGNOSTICS WILL ALL SAY, 'WELL,
THERE'S A MYSTERY. SOMETHING
00:20:37.80\00:20:41.57
ALWAYS EXISTED.' SO THEY'RE
AT THE SAME PLACE YOU'RE AT.
00:20:41.60\00:20:45.54
THE DIFFERENCE IS OUR SOMETHING
THAT ALWAYS EXISTED WAS
00:20:45.57\00:20:48.71
INTELLIGENT AND POWERFUL.
THEIRS IS ALL A BIG ACCIDENT.
00:20:48.74\00:20:54.12
SO YOU CAN DESCRIBE EVERYTHING
YOU SEE AROUND YOU AS THE RESULT
00:20:54.15\00:20:57.32
OF AN INTELLIGENCE WITH
PURPOSE OR JUST A BIG ACCIDENT.
00:20:57.35\00:20:59.95
WE CAN ALL GO HOME NOW AND
THERE IS NO PURPOSE TO LIFE.
00:21:00.06\00:21:03.59
SO I CHOOSE TO
BELIEVE THERE IS A PURPOSE.
00:21:03.63\00:21:05.46
I SEE TOO MANY THINGS THAT
SEEM TO REFLECT INTELLIGENCE.
00:21:05.49\00:21:08.50
SO JESUS HAS ALWAYS EXISTED.
JOHN 17:5, "AND NOW, O FATHER,
00:21:08.53\00:21:13.23
GLORIFY ME TOGETHER WITH
YOURSELF, WITH THE GLORY WHICH I
00:21:13.27\00:21:16.94
HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD
WAS." SEE, JESUS LAID ASIDE
00:21:16.97\00:21:20.71
THE GLORY - THE PERFECT EQUALITY
HE SHARED WITH THE FATHER
00:21:20.74\00:21:24.18
BEFORE THE WORLD WAS - HE
CAME AND HE LIVED AMONG US.
00:21:24.21\00:21:27.52
HE WAS THEN
RECEIVED BACK UP INTO GLORY.
00:21:27.55\00:21:30.09
HE IS, AGAIN, GLORIFIED AT
THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
00:21:30.12\00:21:32.92
HE IS A HUNDRED PERCENT GOD.
00:21:32.95\00:21:35.19
SO, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE
THAT JESUS IS GOD - AND I DIDN'T
00:21:35.22\00:21:39.36
COVER ALL THE EVIDENCE.
WHAT ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:21:39.39\00:21:42.96
NOW, MOST PEOPLE WILL SAY,
'WELL, IF JESUS IS GOD, WE DON'T
00:21:43.00\00:21:45.17
HAVE A PROBLEM BELIEVING THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD, BUT HE'S NOT
00:21:45.20\00:21:47.80
A PERSON, HE'S THE FORCE OF
GOD THAT GOD USES' - I THINK THE
00:21:47.84\00:21:52.41
HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD.
HE'S NOT JUST AN IMPERSONAL
00:21:52.44\00:21:55.24
VEHICLE, BECAUSE GOD SAYS SO.
FIRST OF ALL, IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:21:55.28\00:21:58.88
GOD? ACTS 5:3 AND 4 - PETER
SAID TO ANNANIAS - REMEMBER WHEN
00:21:58.91\00:22:04.92
ANNANIAS AND SAPPHIRA
LIED? - "BUT PETER SAID,
00:22:04.95\00:22:08.79
'ANNANIAS, WHY HAS
SATAN FILLED YOUR HEART TO
00:22:08.82\00:22:10.93
LIE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT...YOU'VE
NOT LIED TO MEN BUT TO GOD."
00:22:10.96\00:22:15.83
WHEN YOU LIE TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT YOU'VE LIED TO GOD.
00:22:15.86\00:22:17.73
GOD SAID, "MY SPIRIT SHALL
NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN."
00:22:17.77\00:22:21.34
GENESIS 6, VERSE 3 - GOD THE
SPIRIT. AND I'VE TALKED TO YOU
00:22:21.37\00:22:26.54
ABOUT THE SEVEN SPIRITS
AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD.
00:22:26.57\00:22:28.91
IT SAYS THAT THE
SPIRIT LEADS US OR GUIDES US.
00:22:28.94\00:22:32.55
IT'S NOT AN IMPERSONAL FORCE
THAT LEADS US OR GUIDES US.
00:22:32.58\00:22:36.42
I'VE GOT A GPS IN MY CAR - HAVE
YOU - HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A GPS
00:22:36.45\00:22:39.82
ON YOUR PHONE OR IN YOUR CAR?
LET ME JUST SEE. BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:22:39.85\00:22:42.12
MAKING THEIR WAY AROUND.
ALRIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
00:22:42.16\00:22:44.26
RIDDEN WITH
SOMEBODY THAT HAS A GPS?
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.46
I'VE SET A DESTINATION BEFORE,
IN MY CAR, MAYBE I'LL GO VISIT
00:22:46.49\00:22:49.73
SOMEBODY - ON THE WAY I'LL SEE A
STORE OR I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING
00:22:49.76\00:22:53.67
ELSE - AN ERRAND I NEED TO DO -
AND I'LL SAY, 'OH, I DIDN'T KNOW
00:22:53.70\00:22:55.64
THAT STORE WAS HERE.' I'LL TURN
OFF AND MY GPS SAYS, 'TURN, MAKE
00:22:55.67\00:23:01.38
CORRECTION, RE-ROUTING, TURN
LEFT HERE.' AND I'M THINKING,
00:23:01.41\00:23:05.11
'OH, I'M SORRY,
DID I OFFEND YOU?'
00:23:05.15\00:23:08.65
MINE'S A LADY VOICE, YOU KNOW,
AND I JUST ALWAYS THINK OF MY
00:23:08.68\00:23:13.09
MOTHER, 'TURN HERE.' 'OKAY.'
AND I DON'T WANT TO HURT HER
00:23:13.12\00:23:17.66
FEELINGS SO I'LL TURN. 'I
WAS GOING TO GO TO THE STORE
00:23:17.69\00:23:20.06
BUT YOU TOLD ME TO
TURN.' IS THAT WHAT I SAY?
00:23:20.10\00:23:23.37
I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE SAYS, IT'S
A COMPUTER. IT'S JUST A FORCE,
00:23:23.40\00:23:27.54
RIGHT? I'M NOT GOING
TO HURT IT'S FEELINGS.
00:23:27.57\00:23:29.77
I NEVER HEAR IT SAY TO ME,
'OH, COME ON, PLEASE TURN HERE.
00:23:29.80\00:23:34.48
YOU'RE GOING TO HURT MY FEELINGS
IF YOU DON'T - I'M GOING TO WEEP
00:23:34.51\00:23:37.68
LITTLE TRANSISTOR TEARS OUT
OF MY CIRCUITS IF YOU DON'T TURN
00:23:37.71\00:23:41.28
HERE.' DOES IT CARE? NO.
BUT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT CARE?
00:23:41.32\00:23:47.12
IF HE'S JUST A COMPUTER - IF
HE'S JUST AN IMPERSONAL FORCE -
00:23:47.16\00:23:50.33
HE CANNOT BE GRIEVED.
00:23:50.36\00:23:52.99
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS
YOU CAN GRIEVE THE SPIRIT.
00:23:53.03\00:23:55.73
MATTER OF FACT, JESUS SAYS -
JOHN 16:13, "WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT
00:23:55.76\00:24:01.74
OF TRUTH, HAS COME, HE
WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH."
00:24:01.77\00:24:05.87
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
YEARS AGO, BEFORE GPS, WHEN THE
00:24:05.91\00:24:10.05
ARABS WERE GOING ACROSS SOME
OF THESE VAST DESERTS IN SAUDI
00:24:10.08\00:24:14.22
ARABIA, SOMETIMES THEY'D HAVE
SANDSTORMS - THEY COULDN'T EVEN
00:24:14.25\00:24:16.99
SEE THE SUN TO
DETERMINE EAST FROM WEST.
00:24:17.02\00:24:19.19
IN MANY OF THOSE CARAVANS THEY
KEPT A DOVE WITH THEM - A HOMING
00:24:19.22\00:24:23.02
PIGEON - THEY KEPT A THREAD
TIED ON ITS LEG AND THEY WOULD
00:24:23.06\00:24:28.40
RELEASE IT AND IT WOULD
ALWAYS FLY TOWARDS HOME.
00:24:28.43\00:24:31.67
IT WOULD MAKE A BEELINE TOWARDS
HOME AND THEY WOULD HOLD IT IN
00:24:31.70\00:24:33.97
THEIR HAND TO
FIND OUT WHICH WAY.
00:24:34.00\00:24:35.87
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL
LEAD US AND HE'LL GUIDE US.
00:24:35.90\00:24:38.61
YOU'LL FEEL, SOMETIMES,
THAT TUGGING IN YOUR HEART.
00:24:38.64\00:24:40.41
HE'LL NEVER LEAD YOU CONTRARY
TO THE WORD BECAUSE THE HOLY
00:24:40.44\00:24:43.78
SPIRIT IS ONE WITH
JESUS WHO IS THE WORD.
00:24:43.81\00:24:46.78
THEY'LL NEVER
CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.52
I'VE MET PEOPLE BEFORE THAT SAY,
'I KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THIS, BUT
00:24:48.55\00:24:53.36
THE SPIRIT IS TELLING ME...'
- AS THOUGH IT'S DIFFERENT OR
00:24:53.39\00:24:56.09
FRESH INFORMATION. THE
SPIRIT OF GOD WILL NEVER
00:24:56.12\00:24:58.89
CONFLICT WITH THE WORD OF GOD
BECAUSE IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:24:58.93\00:25:01.56
THAT INSPIRED MEN TO WRITE
THE THINGS THAT THEY WROTE.
00:25:01.60\00:25:06.84
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
HOLY MEN WROTE AS THEY WERE
00:25:06.87\00:25:10.11
INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
IT SAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES
00:25:10.14\00:25:13.98
THEM. YOU KNOW
THAT - I THINK THERE'S
00:25:14.01\00:25:17.18
15 TIMES JESUS REFERRED
TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AS 'HE'.
00:25:17.21\00:25:21.78
HE COULD HAVE SAID
'IT'. WHY DID HE SAY 'HE'?
00:25:21.82\00:25:24.22
THAT WAS HIS CHOSEN WORD.
00:25:24.25\00:25:25.49
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THE HOLY SPIRIT COMFORTS.
00:25:25.52\00:25:29.02
NOW IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JUST
A POWER, WHO GETS COMFORT FROM,
00:25:29.06\00:25:33.23
YOU KNOW,
HUGGING AN ELECTRIC POLE?
00:25:33.26\00:25:35.40
THAT'S NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU
COMFORT - IF HE'S JUST A POWER
00:25:35.43\00:25:37.87
WITH NO PERSONALITY. YOU
FIND COMFORT FROM A PERSON.
00:25:37.90\00:25:43.00
THE BIBLE SAYS HE CONVICTS.
NOW I REMEMBER THE GREATEST
00:25:43.04\00:25:47.81
CONVICTION I FELT WAS SOMETIMES
FROM MY GRANDMOTHER'S LOOK.
00:25:47.84\00:25:51.61
AND SHE'D JUST LOOK AT ME
- THAT COMES FROM A PERSON.
00:25:51.65\00:25:55.22
JOHN 16:8, "AND WHEN HE HAS
COME," - NOTICE, 'HE' - "HE WILL
00:25:55.25\00:25:59.62
CONVICT THE WORLD OF SIN, AND OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OF JUDGMENT."
00:25:59.65\00:26:03.59
AND IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JUST
A FORCE, YOU NOTICE WHAT THE
00:26:03.63\00:26:06.66
GREATEST SIN IS? WHAT'S THE
SIN THAT CANNOT BE PARDONED?
00:26:06.70\00:26:10.37
BLASPHEMY
AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:26:10.40\00:26:13.17
MATTHEW 12:31 AND 32,
"THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, EVERY
00:26:13.20\00:26:16.87
SIN AND BLASPHEMY
WILL BE FORGIVEN MEN."
00:26:16.91\00:26:20.31
- EVEN IF YOU SIN AGAINST THE
SON IT SAID IT'LL BE FORGIVEN,
00:26:20.34\00:26:23.38
BUT BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY
SPIRIT CANNOT BE FORGIVEN - IN
00:26:23.41\00:26:26.92
THIS LIFE OR IN
THE NEXT. HE'S GRIEVED.
00:26:26.95\00:26:29.18
I MENTIONED THAT ALREADY.
EPHESIANS 4:30, "DO NOT GRIEVE
00:26:29.22\00:26:32.92
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
BY WHOM YOU WERE SEALED."
00:26:32.95\00:26:36.46
HE'S A REAL FORCE.
00:26:36.49\00:26:39.23
SO THE BIBLE'S REALLY
CLEAR THAT THERE IS A TRINITY.
00:26:39.26\00:26:42.30
THERE'S A FATHER,
SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.
00:26:42.33\00:26:44.77
IT'S NOT ONE GOD THAT CHANGES
MASKS. IT'S NOT ONE GOD THAT
00:26:44.80\00:26:50.64
DECIDED TO CREATE LESSER
GODS IN JESUS AND THE SPIRIT.
00:26:50.67\00:26:54.68
THERE ARE THREE DIVINE
EQUAL ETERNAL PERSONS THAT ARE
00:26:54.71\00:27:00.42
INVOLVED IN YOUR
CREATION AND IN YOUR REDEMPTION.
00:27:00.45\00:27:05.12
IT'S NOT JUST THAT JESUS
LOVES ME. JESUS SAID THE FATHER,
00:27:05.15\00:27:07.79
HIMSELF, LOVES YOU.
GOD THE FATHER SO LOVED THE
00:27:07.82\00:27:10.33
WORLD HE SENT GOD THE SON.
AND IT WAS A SACRIFICE FOR ALL
00:27:10.36\00:27:14.56
THREE TO SAVE YOU. AND
THAT SHOULD JUST TELL US
00:27:14.60\00:27:18.53
THAT - SOMETHING
ABOUT WHAT WE'RE WORTH.
00:27:18.57\00:27:23.00
