00:00:09.13\00:00:12.30
(MUSIC)
00:00:13.36\00:00:23.66
>>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME...
00:00:24.33\00:00:26.56
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:00:26.86\00:00:29.96
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:00:30.20\00:00:34.43
IT IS WRITTEN . . .
00:00:34.73\00:00:37.16
SHARING MESSAGES OF
HOPE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:37.43\00:00:41.23
(MUSIC)
00:00:41.50\00:00:51.70
>>BILL: WELL LET ME
WELCOME ALL OF OUR VIEWERS
00:00:52.36\00:00:53.36
TO THE "IT IS
WRITTEN" PROGRAM. THANK YOU FOR
00:00:53.36\00:00:54.83
JOINING US AGAIN THIS
WEEK. AND LET ME WELCOME
00:00:54.83\00:00:56.60
BACK OUR SPECIAL
GUEST, DR. GEORGE KNIGHT. DR.
00:00:56.60\00:00:57.73
KNIGHT, WELCOME BACK.
00:00:57.73\00:01:00.46
>>DR. KNIGHT: IT'S GOOD
TO BE BACK WITH YOU BILL
00:01:00.46\00:01:01.46
LOOKING FORWARD TO
THIS STUDY TOGETHER. >>BILL:
00:01:01.46\00:01:03.46
WELL, WE ARE VERY
MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
00:01:03.46\00:01:05.16
LAST WEEK YOU SET THE
GROUND WORK AND, SORT OF,
00:01:05.16\00:01:06.16
GAVE US THE CONTEXT.
AND THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO
00:01:06.16\00:01:11.16
GET RIGHT INTO THE BOOK.
00:01:11.16\00:01:11.63
I THINK THE
FIRST TWO CHAPTERS YOU
00:01:11.63\00:01:15.46
HAD MENTIONED. SO LET
ME ENCOURAGE OUR VIEWERS TO
00:01:15.46\00:01:18.46
GO AND GET THEIR
BIBLES OUT AND GO GET A PEN, A
00:01:18.46\00:01:19.50
PIECE OF PAPER
BECAUSE THERE'S SOME EXCITING
00:01:19.50\00:01:22.90
STUFF COMING. SO, PAUL
IS HERE, READY TO GO, AND IS
00:01:22.90\00:01:30.70
FACING SOME
CHALLENGES TO HIS AUTHORITY, TO
00:01:30.70\00:01:31.63
HIS THEOLOGY, TO HIS
UNDERSTANDING OF THEOLOGY
00:01:31.63\00:01:38.56
AND HE FEELS HE NEEDS
TO RESPOND TO THIS, RIGHT?
00:01:38.56\00:01:42.36
>>DR. KNIGHT: THAT'S
RIGHT. HE HAS TO RESPOND
00:01:42.36\00:01:43.30
BECAUSE THESE JEWISH
CHRISTIANS, WHICH WE CALL
00:01:43.30\00:01:45.13
THE JUDIZERS, ARE
MAKING INROADS ON THIS GROUP OF
00:01:45.13\00:01:51.40
CONVERTS AND PAUL
SAYS, WAIT A MINUTE. YOU'RE
00:01:51.40\00:01:52.50
UNDOING EVERYTHING
THAT I HAVE DONE. THIS
00:01:52.50\00:01:56.70
IS A CRISIS IN PAUL'S
SITUATION. >>BILL: YES.
00:01:56.70\00:02:00.63
EVERYTHING HE'S BUILT
UP IS NOW BEING TORN DOWN
00:02:00.63\00:02:01.73
>>DR. KNIGHT:
THAT'S RIGHT. AND SO WE'RE
00:02:01.73\00:02:03.13
LOOKING AT A CHALLENGE
TO PAUL'S APOSTLESHIP, WE'RE
00:02:03.13\00:02:04.13
LOOKING AT A CHALLENGE
TO HIS MESSAGE. I MEAN,
00:02:04.13\00:02:05.33
AFTERALL, IF HE'S ONLY
A SECOND-RATE APOSTLE HE'S
00:02:05.33\00:02:13.03
ONLY GOT A SECOND-RATE
MESSAGE. >>BILL: EXACTLY.
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.13
>>DR. KNIGHT: IT'S PRETTY
EASY TO FIGURE OUT, RIGHT?
00:02:16.13\00:02:17.20
>>BILL: ABSOLUTELY. >>DR.
00:02:17.20\00:02:18.13
KNIGHT: SO, I MEAN, HE
STARTS RIGHT OFF. IN VERSE
00:02:18.13\00:02:19.30
ONE, "PAUL, AN
APOSTLE, NOT FROM MAN, THROUGH
00:02:19.30\00:02:21.23
MAN," UH OH, YOU GOT THE
IDEA? YEAH, RIGHT OFF THE
00:02:21.23\00:02:27.73
BAT HE DOESN'T, HE GOES
RIGHT INTO IT. THIS IS A
00:02:27.73\00:02:28.73
BOOK IN WHICH PAUL GOES
TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
00:02:28.73\00:02:31.76
RIGHT AWAY. HE'S NOT
WASTING ANY TIME. THIS IS
00:02:31.76\00:02:35.90
A, THIS IS A DUEL
BETWEEN PAUL, THE APOSTLE, AND
00:02:35.90\00:02:36.90
THOSE WHO THINK THEY HAVE
A BETTER GOSPEL THAN PAUL.
00:02:36.90\00:02:44.36
SO, "PAUL, AN APOSTLE,
NOT FROM MAN NOR THROUGH MAN
00:02:44.36\00:02:50.16
BUT THROUGH JESUS
CHRIST AND GOD THE FATHER WHO
00:02:50.16\00:02:51.13
RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD".
00:02:51.13\00:02:54.73
WOW. HERE WE ARE. HE'S
ALREADY BEGINNING TO STATE
00:02:54.73\00:02:55.76
WHO HE IS. HE'S A TRUE
APOSTLE AND THAT HE GOT IT
00:02:55.76\00:03:02.93
FROM GOD. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:03:02.93\00:03:03.40
>>DR. KNIGHT: VERSE 3,
"GRACE TO YOU", GRACE WILL
00:03:03.40\00:03:06.40
BE A BIG WORD IN THIS ONE
REMEMBER, GRACE IS GETTING
00:03:06.40\00:03:10.06
WHAT YOU DON'T DESERVE.
00:03:10.06\00:03:10.60
IT'S GOD SAYING, BILL,
YOU HAVE BEEN A SINNER BUT I
00:03:10.60\00:03:13.60
FORGIVE YOU. SALVATION
IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING
00:03:13.60\00:03:14.60
"GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE
TO GOD, THE FATHER, AND OUR
00:03:14.60\00:03:23.40
LORD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO
GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS
00:03:23.40\00:03:28.86
TO DELIVER US FROM THIS
PRESENT EVIL AGE." SO, IN
00:03:28.86\00:03:29.90
THE FIRST FIVE VERSES
PAUL STATES HIS APOSTLESHIP.
00:03:29.90\00:03:36.23
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:03:36.23\00:03:36.66
KNIGHT: BUT HE'S GONNA
HAVE TO PROVE IT. >>BILL:
00:03:36.66\00:03:43.06
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT: OKAY?
00:03:43.06\00:03:43.56
HE NOT ONLY STATES HIS
APOSTLESHIP BUT HE ALSO
00:03:43.56\00:03:46.43
STATES IN SOME REFORM
HIS GOSPEL. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:03:46.43\00:03:52.26
>>DR. KNIGHT: GRACE AND
PEACE. JESUS CHRIST GAVE
00:03:52.26\00:03:53.26
HIMSELF TO DELIVER US.
00:03:53.26\00:03:55.70
THAT'S THE GOSPEL. >>BILL:
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: NOW,
00:03:55.70\00:03:56.76
IN VERSE 6, USUALLY
AFTER PAUL GETS FINISHED WITH
00:03:56.76\00:03:59.16
HIS GREETINGS HE DOES
A NICE PASTORAL THING. HE
00:03:59.16\00:04:09.93
SAYS, YOU FOLKS ARE
PRETTY GOOD CHRISTIANS. >>BILL:
00:04:09.93\00:04:10.96
YEAH. >>DR.
KNIGHT: I MEAN, YOU GO
00:04:10.96\00:04:13.06
TO THESSALONIANS. >>BILL:
YEAH, YEAH. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:04:13.06\00:04:15.53
HE SAYS I HAVE SO MUCH
TO COMMEND YOU FOR. >>BILL:
00:04:15.53\00:04:16.53
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THIS IS PAUL THE APOSTLE WITH
00:04:16.53\00:04:21.46
THE SOFT TOUCH. >>BILL:
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: WELL,
00:04:21.46\00:04:26.03
HE'S NOT GONNA COME OUT
WITH A SOFT TOUCH. >>BILL:
00:04:26.03\00:04:27.20
YEAH. NOT HERE. >>DR.
00:04:27.20\00:04:27.66
KNIGHT: IN VERSE 6
HE COMES OUT WITH A FIST
00:04:27.66\00:04:28.56
>>BILL: YEAH. YES. >>DR.
00:04:28.56\00:04:29.86
KNIGHT: VERSE 6 AND
NOW WE'RE IN IT. "I AM
00:04:29.86\00:04:30.80
ASTONISHED THAT YOU ARE
SO QUICKLY DESERTING HIM WHO
00:04:30.80\00:04:36.96
CALLED YOU IN THE GRACE
OF CHRIST AND TURNING TO A
00:04:36.96\00:04:43.20
DIFFERENT GOSPEL."
00:04:43.20\00:04:43.63
WELL, ACCORDING TO PAUL
A DIFFERENT GOSPEL IS NO
00:04:43.63\00:04:50.13
GOSPEL AT ALL.
>>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT. THERE'S
00:04:50.13\00:04:51.10
ONE GOSPEL. >>DR.
KNIGHT: YEAH. EITHER YOU'VE GOT
00:04:51.10\00:04:54.10
GOOD NEWS OR YOU DON'T
HAVE GOOD NEWS. >>BILL:
00:04:54.10\00:04:57.46
RIGHT. RIGHT. >>DR.
00:04:57.46\00:04:57.93
KNIGHT: "NOT THAT
THERE IS", VERSE 7, "NOT THAT
00:04:57.93\00:05:01.90
THERE IS ANOTHER
GOSPEL BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO
00:05:01.90\00:05:02.90
TROUBLE YOU". >>BILL: WOW.
00:05:02.90\00:05:03.80
>>DR. KNIGHT: NOW, YOU
GOT THE IDEA? WE'VE GOT
00:05:03.80\00:05:04.80
TROUBLEMAKERS HERE, "AND
WANT TO PERVERT THE GOSPEL
00:05:04.80\00:05:10.20
OF CHRIST. BUT EVEN IF
WE OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN
00:05:10.20\00:05:20.13
SHOULD PREACH TO YOU A
GOSPEL WHICH IS CONTRARY
00:05:20.13\00:05:21.10
TO YOU, LET HIM BE A
CURSED". IN FACT, HE'S
00:05:21.10\00:05:25.03
SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS
THAT HE USES THE SAME PHRASE AT
00:05:25.03\00:05:30.43
THE END OF VERSE 9.
"LET HIM BE A CURSED. >>BILL:
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.40
YES. >>DR. KNIGHT: I
MEAN THAT'S CALLING DAMNATION
00:05:31.40\00:05:35.90
ON HIM. >>BILL: WOW. >>DR.
00:05:35.90\00:05:36.43
KNIGHT: WE MAY THINK
THAT THIS IS PRETTY SERIOUS
00:05:36.43\00:05:39.80
TALK. IT IS. >>BILL: YES.
00:05:39.80\00:05:40.30
>>DR. KNIGHT: PAUL IS
SAYING YOU ARE DESTROYING
00:05:40.30\00:05:45.36
THE WHOLE PLAN OF
SALVATION BY YOUR FALSE
00:05:45.36\00:05:52.60
TEACHING. NOW, WE HAVEN'T
GOT TO THAT FALSE TEACHING
00:05:52.60\00:05:53.66
IN THE LETTER BUT,
DEFINITELY, PAUL SEES THIS
00:05:53.66\00:05:58.50
AS AN UNDERMINING OF
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. >>BILL:
00:05:58.50\00:06:06.10
SO, IT'S LIKE HE'S
TRYING TO TELL THEM, LISTEN, I
00:06:06.10\00:06:07.13
KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE
ALL ABOUT. >>DR. KNIGHT: YEAH.
00:06:07.13\00:06:09.50
>>BILL: I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE ABOUT AND I'M GOING TO
00:06:09.50\00:06:12.10
DEAL WITH THIS. >>DR.
00:06:12.10\00:06:12.60
KNIGHT: YEAH. AND I'M
GONNA TELL YOU, WE DID A
00:06:12.60\00:06:13.96
LITTLE OF THIS LAST
WEEK, THE REASON HE KNOWS THAT
00:06:13.96\00:06:14.96
THEY'RE ALL ABOUT IS
HE USED TO BE ONE OF THEM.
00:06:14.96\00:06:19.10
>>BILL: RIGHT. OKAY. >>DR.
00:06:19.10\00:06:19.63
KNIGHT: HE WAS A PHAROSY.
00:06:19.63\00:06:20.56
>>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:06:20.56\00:06:21.06
THAT'S RIGHT. >>DR.
00:06:21.06\00:06:21.50
KNIGHT: HE WAS A PHAROSY.
00:06:21.50\00:06:22.86
A JEW OF THE JEWS.
COULD BOAST MORE THAN ANY
00:06:22.86\00:06:23.80
OF THEM. >>BILL: THAT'S
RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. >>DR.
00:06:23.80\00:06:26.36
KNIGHT:.ABOUT ALL THE
GOOD THINGS HE'D ACCOMPLISHED.
00:06:26.36\00:06:27.83
SO, PAUL HAS BEEN ON
BOTH SIDES OF THIS. >>BILL:
00:06:27.83\00:06:28.83
I KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS
ARE COMING FROM BECAUSE I WAS
00:06:28.83\00:06:31.46
THERE. >>DR. KNIGHT: YEAH.
00:06:31.46\00:06:32.00
YEAH. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:06:32.00\00:06:32.90
KNIGHT: THIS IS, THIS
IS REALITY. >>BILL: YES.
00:06:32.90\00:06:33.86
>>DR. KNIGHT: YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES, BILL, WE LOOK
00:06:33.86\00:06:35.90
AT THESE LETTERS LIKE
THEY'RE JUST SOMETHING,
00:06:35.90\00:06:38.86
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THERE.
00:06:38.86\00:06:39.36
THEY'RE THEOLOGY.
>>BILL: YEAH. THAT'S TRUE. >>DR.
00:06:39.36\00:06:43.76
KNIGHT: NO. THIS IS LIFE.
00:06:43.76\00:06:44.30
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:06:44.30\00:06:44.73
KNIGHT: AND FOR PAUL
THE DEFINITION OF THE GOSPEL
00:06:44.73\00:06:46.96
IS LIFE AND DEATH.
ETERNAL LIFE AND ETERNAL DEATH.
00:06:46.96\00:06:53.90
>>BILL: YEAH.
00:06:53.90\00:06:54.26
>>DR. KNIGHT: SO, "I'M
ASTONISHED THAT YOU'RE SO
00:06:54.26\00:06:56.96
QUICKLY DESERTING
AND GOING TO A DIFFERENT
00:06:56.96\00:06:57.90
GOSPEL". NOW, WHEN
PAUL GETS FINISHED WITH
00:06:57.90\00:07:03.66
THE FIRST TEN VERSES.OH,
WE'VE GOT TO GO VERSE TEN.
00:07:03.66\00:07:10.90
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: "AM I NOW SEEKING THE
00:07:10.90\00:07:11.93
FAVOUR OF MAN OR OF GOD
OR AM I TRYING TO PLEASE
00:07:11.93\00:07:13.50
MEN?" NOW, WHAT IS
THE IDEA HERE? PEOPLE WERE
00:07:13.50\00:07:21.20
SAYING PAUL IS MAKING
SALVATION EASY. HE'S.YOU
00:07:21.20\00:07:22.16
KNOW, I'VE HEARD
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT
00:07:22.16\00:07:30.60
IN OUR DAY. >>BILL: YES.
00:07:30.60\00:07:31.06
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR.
KNIGHT: THERE'S JUST NOT GRACE.
00:07:31.06\00:07:32.93
YOU'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING FOR IT. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:07:32.93\00:07:34.70
RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. >>DR.
00:07:34.70\00:07:35.26
KNIGHT: YOU KNOW, AND
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO, SINCE
00:07:35.26\00:07:37.16
THE COMBAT WAS OVER
CIRCUMCISION I IMAGING
00:07:37.16\00:07:38.23
THAT THERE WERE NOT
LARGE NUMBERS OF ADULT MALES
00:07:38.23\00:07:42.80
STANDING IN LINE TO JOIN
THE JEWISH CHURCH. >>BILL:
00:07:42.80\00:07:46.53
RIGHT. YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: PAUL WAS MAKING IT EASY.
00:07:46.53\00:07:47.53
>>BILL: TOO EASY, YEAH.
00:07:47.53\00:07:49.86
>>DR. KNIGHT: YOU ARE
SAVED BY GRACE. YOU DON'T
00:07:49.86\00:07:50.86
HAVE TO BECOME A JEW
FIRST. >>BILL: YES, THAT'S
00:07:50.86\00:07:53.20
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
OH MY. SO PAUL SETS THE
00:07:53.20\00:07:54.90
STAGE. HE'S A TRUE
APOSTLE. THE FIRST COUPLE
00:07:54.90\00:07:55.83
OF PARAGRAPHS. AND
THEN THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE
00:07:55.83\00:07:58.96
ARE PREACHING A DIFFERENT
GOSPEL. NOW, HE MUST COME
00:07:58.96\00:08:05.73
TO HIS OWN CREDENTIALS.
00:08:05.73\00:08:06.26
AND HE'S GONNA SPEND A
LONG TIME ON THAT. VERSE
00:08:06.26\00:08:14.40
11, "FOR I WOULD HAVE
YOU KNOW, BRETHEREN, THAT THE
00:08:14.40\00:08:15.43
GOSPEL WHICH WAS
PREACHED BY ME WAS NOT MAN'S
00:08:15.43\00:08:19.36
GOSPEL". WELL, HEY, HE
GOES ON. "FOR I DID NOT
00:08:19.36\00:08:26.00
RECEIVE IT FROM MAN,
NOR WAS I TAUGHT IT BUT IT
00:08:26.00\00:08:26.96
CAME FROM A REVELATION
OF JESUS CHRIST". AND THEN
00:08:26.96\00:08:33.76
HE GOES INTO HIS OWN
BIOGRAPHY. "FOR YOU'VE
00:08:33.76\00:08:38.80
HEARD OF MY FORMER LIFE
IN JUDISM, HOW I PERSECUTED
00:08:38.80\00:08:39.83
THE CHURCH OF GOD,
VIOLENTLY AND TRIED TO
00:08:39.83\00:08:41.96
DESTROY IT. I ADVANCED
IN JUDISM BEYOND MANY OF MY
00:08:41.96\00:08:46.23
OWN AGE AMONG THE PEOPLE".
00:08:46.23\00:08:46.90
WELL, SO HERE'S THE
APOSTLE. WHO IS THIS GUY?
00:08:46.90\00:08:54.23
WHERE.ARE YOU REALLY AN
APOSTLE? I MEAN, AFTERALL,
00:08:54.23\00:08:55.30
YOU WERE NOT ONE OF
THE TWELVE. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:08:55.30\00:08:58.43
RIGHT. YOU WERE NOT
THERE WHEN JESUS WAS THERE.
00:08:58.43\00:09:00.60
>>DR. KNIGHT: AND IF
YOU GO TO ACTS, THE FIRST
00:09:00.60\00:09:01.56
CHAPTER, WHEN THEY'RE
SAYING, HOW DO YOU, HOW DO
00:09:01.56\00:09:04.76
YOU CHOOSE A NEW APOSTLE
ONE OF THE QUALIFICATIONS
00:09:04.76\00:09:07.66
WAS YOU HAD TO SEE JESUS.
00:09:07.66\00:09:08.20
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:09:08.20\00:09:08.63
KNIGHT: WELL, THAT'S
ONE REASON, HE SAYS IN
00:09:08.63\00:09:11.43
1CORINTHIANS, THAT THERE
WERE SOME 500 PEOPLE THAT
00:09:11.43\00:09:14.50
SAW JESUS AFTER THE
RESURRECTION AND I WAS ONE
00:09:14.50\00:09:15.50
OF THEM. HE DID SEE JESUS.
00:09:15.50\00:09:19.83
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: HE'S GOT TO PROVE THIS.
00:09:19.83\00:09:20.90
I HE A SECOND-RATE
APOSTLE OR AN APOSTLE AT
00:09:20.90\00:09:23.70
ALL? WHERE DID HE GET HIS
INFORMATION? DID HE GET IT
00:09:23.70\00:09:27.96
FROM THE LEADERS OF
THE CHURCH IN JERUSALEM
00:09:27.96\00:09:28.93
>>BILL: NOT FROM ANY MAN.
00:09:28.93\00:09:33.16
>>DR. KNIGHT: YOU
SEE, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS
00:09:33.16\00:09:34.10
WE HAVE THESE JEWISH
CHRISTIANS WHO ARE SAYING,
00:09:34.10\00:09:38.20
LOOK IT, WE ARE SENT
BY PETER, WE ARE SENT BY
00:09:38.20\00:09:40.86
JAMES. NOW, THIS IS
JAMES WHO GOT CONVERTED AFTER
00:09:40.86\00:09:42.00
PENTACOST. THAT IS JAMES,
THE BROTHER OF JESUS, HEAD
00:09:42.00\00:09:49.53
OF THE JERUSALEM CHURCH
JAMES AND PAUL SENT US. WE
00:09:49.53\00:09:57.83
HAVE AUTHORITY FROM REAL
APOSTLES AND YOU ARE JUST
00:09:57.83\00:09:58.93
A.>>BILL: SECOND-RATE.
00:09:58.93\00:10:03.50
>>DR. KNIGHT:.A LATE
COMER. DON'T LISTEN TO
00:10:03.50\00:10:04.43
PAUL. HIS GOSPEL IS ONLY
A PARTIAL GOSPEL. THERE'S
00:10:04.43\00:10:06.36
MORE TO IT THAN GRACE
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN
00:10:06.36\00:10:11.60
JUST ACCEPTING IT. NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO BECOME A JEW
00:10:11.60\00:10:12.66
FIRST. >>BILL: WOW. >>DR.
00:10:12.66\00:10:18.53
KNIGHT: AND FOR A MALE
THAT MEANT CIRCUMCISION
00:10:18.53\00:10:19.53
IT ALSO MEANT
KEEPING ALL OF THE CEREMONIAL
00:10:19.53\00:10:22.33
LAWS.>>BILL: RIGHT.
00:10:22.33\00:10:22.76
>>DR. KNIGHT:.OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT. SO, STARTING IN
00:10:22.76\00:10:27.23
VERSE 18, PAUL IS GOING
TO TELL US THAT THERE IS NO
00:10:27.23\00:10:36.36
WAY, NO WAY, THAT HE
COULD HAVE GOT HIS GOSPEL FROM
00:10:36.36\00:10:37.40
THE APOSTLES IN JERUSALEM.
00:10:37.40\00:10:44.73
>>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:10:44.73\00:10:45.33
KNIGHT: VERSE 18, "THEN
AFTER THREE YEARS I WENT
00:10:45.33\00:10:47.43
UP TO JERUSALEM",
AFTER HE'D BEEN PREACHING FOR
00:10:47.43\00:10:48.46
THREE YEARS.>>BILL: THEN
I WENT TO JERUSALEM. >>DR.
00:10:48.46\00:10:52.66
KNIGHT:.THEN, YEAH, I
MEAN, I'VE BEEN PREACHING
00:10:52.66\00:10:57.93
THIS GOSPEL FOR
THREE YEARS. THEN I WENT
00:10:57.93\00:10:58.96
TO JERUSALEM TO VISIT
CEPHEUS. NOW CEPHEUS IS
00:10:58.96\00:11:00.53
A GREEK MEANING OF
PETER >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:11:00.53\00:11:08.20
KNIGHT: "AND REMAINED
WITH HIM 15 DAYS". I ONLY
00:11:08.20\00:11:09.20
STAYED 15 DAYS WITH HIM.
00:11:09.20\00:11:12.30
>>BILL: TWO WEEKS, YEAH.
00:11:12.30\00:11:12.90
>>DR. KNIGHT: I JUST
GOT INTO TOWN AND WE LEFT
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.43
AGAIN. "BUT I SAW
NONE OF THE OTHER APOSTLES
00:11:14.43\00:11:15.53
EXCEPT JAMES, THE LORD'S
BROTHER." NOW, THIS WAS SO
00:11:15.53\00:11:18.56
SERIOUS THAT HE SWEARS
AN OATH IN VERSE 12. >>BILL:
00:11:18.56\00:11:22.10
WOW. YES. >>DR. KNIGHT:
I'M NOT LYING, BROTHERS.
00:11:22.10\00:11:23.10
I'M NOT LYING. "THEN
I WENT IN THE REGIONS OF
00:11:23.10\00:11:27.16
SYRIA AND CELIA", AND
HE GOES PREACHING MORE. SO,
00:11:27.16\00:11:31.56
IN HIS FIRST THREE
YEARS.HE PREACHED FOR
00:11:31.56\00:11:32.46
THREE YEARS AFTER HE
BECAME A CHRISTIAN, THEN
00:11:32.46\00:11:37.13
HE GOES AND STAYS FOR 15
DAYS JUST TO TELL HIM WHAT
00:11:37.13\00:11:42.40
HE WAS PREACHING AND
TO TRY TO GET A WORKING
00:11:42.40\00:11:43.36
RELATIONSHIP WITH PETER
AND JAMES. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:11:43.36\00:11:46.50
>>DR. KNIGHT: CHAPTER
TWO, VERSE ONE, "THEN AFTER 14
00:11:46.50\00:11:51.66
YEARS", SO PAUL IS NOW
BEEN PREACHING, YOU KNOW,
00:11:51.66\00:11:52.66
17 YEARS.>>BILL: 17 YEARS.
00:11:52.66\00:11:59.43
>>DR. KNIGHT:. "I WENT UP
TO JERUSALEM WITH BARNABUS
00:11:59.43\00:12:00.56
TAKING TITUS WITH ME.
I WENT UP BY REVELATION."
00:12:00.56\00:12:03.96
THAT IS THAT GOD GAVE
HIM A REVELATION THAT HE
00:12:03.96\00:12:09.56
SHOULD GO UP TO
JERUSALEM AND MEET WITH THE
00:12:09.56\00:12:10.46
APOSTLES. "AND I LAYED
BEFORE THEM, BUT PRIVATELY
00:12:10.46\00:12:13.60
BEFORE THOSE WHO WERE
REPUTE, THE GOSPEL WHICH I
00:12:13.60\00:12:18.26
PREACH AMONG THE
GENTILES LEST SOMEHOW I SHOULD
00:12:18.26\00:12:19.26
BE RUNNING OR HAD RUN
IN VAIN. NOW THAT VERSE
00:12:19.26\00:12:22.53
THERE, WELL PEOPLE
MIGHT THINK, WELL, PAUL HAS
00:12:22.53\00:12:27.20
DOUBTS ABOUT HIS GOSPEL?
00:12:27.20\00:12:27.70
NO. HE JUST WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE
00:12:27.70\00:12:31.66
KNEW WHAT HE WAS
PREACHING, THAT THEY WERE
00:12:31.66\00:12:32.53
ALL PREACHING THE SAME
THING SO THAT THEY WOULD
00:12:32.53\00:12:35.66
NOT UNDERMINE HIS
WORK >>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT,
00:12:35.66\00:12:38.66
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THAT'S WHAT HE MEANS. SO PAUL
00:12:38.66\00:12:39.70
IS THERE AND HE'S
TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT HE'S
00:12:39.70\00:12:40.86
TEACHING. VERSE THREE,
"BUT EVEN TITUS, WHO WAS
00:12:40.86\00:12:45.96
WITH ME, WAS NOT COMPELLED
TO BE CIRCUMSIZED THOUGH
00:12:45.96\00:12:47.00
HE WAS A GREEK".
THERE'S A PRETTY IMPORTANT PART.
00:12:47.00\00:12:52.20
IT'S ALL RIGHT. THIS
GUY, TITUS.PETER AND JAMES
00:12:52.20\00:12:56.26
DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM
IN HIM NOT BEING CIRCUMSIZED
00:12:56.26\00:12:57.30
"BUT BECAUSE OF FALSE
BRETHEREN SECRETLY BROUGHT
00:12:57.30\00:13:03.73
IN, SLIPPED IN TO SPY ON
OUR FREEDOM WHICH WE HAVE
00:13:03.73\00:13:10.16
IN CHRIST JESUS THAT
THEY MIGHT BRING US INTO
00:13:10.16\00:13:11.10
BONDAGE, TO THEM WE DID
NOT YEILD SUBMISSION EVEN
00:13:11.10\00:13:14.70
FOR A MOMENT." AND WE
GO DOWN NOW INTO THE MIDDLE
00:13:14.70\00:13:21.80
OF VERSE SEVEN OR
ACTUALLY THE BEGINNING OF
00:13:21.80\00:13:22.70
VERSE SEVEN, "BUT ON
THE CONTRARY WHEN THEY SAW
00:13:22.70\00:13:27.40
THAT I HAD BEEN
ENTRUSTED WITH THE GOSPEL TO THE
00:13:27.40\00:13:31.40
UNCIRCUMSIZED JUST AS
PETER HAD BEEN ENTRUSTED
00:13:31.40\00:13:32.36
TO THE GOSPEL TO THE
CIRCUMCISION." ANYWAY,
00:13:32.36\00:13:36.70
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING HERE
IS, PAUL SAYS, THESE GOOD
00:13:36.70\00:13:42.26
BROTHERS, THE APOSTLES,
THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH
00:13:42.26\00:13:43.30
IN JERUSALEM REALIZED
THAT GOD HAD CALLED TO PREACH
00:13:43.30\00:13:48.60
TO THE GENTILES. HE CALLS
THEM UNCIRCUMSIZED BECAUSE
00:13:48.60\00:13:53.46
THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE.
00:13:53.46\00:13:53.96
>>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT.
00:13:53.96\00:13:54.43
>>DR. KNIGHT: BUT THESE
ARE SHORTHAND EXPRESSIONS.
00:13:54.43\00:13:57.33
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: YOU HAVE YOUR MISSION,
00:13:57.33\00:14:00.63
PAUL. YOU GO TO
THE GENTILES. WE HAVE
00:14:00.63\00:14:01.50
OUR MISSION. WE'RE TO
GO.>>BILL: TO GO TO THE
00:14:01.50\00:14:04.86
JEWS. >>DR. KNIGHT:.
YEAH, SO, THE FIRST THING HE HAS
00:14:04.86\00:14:06.93
TO DEMONSTRATE IS THAT
HE DID NOT GET HIS GOSPEL
00:14:06.93\00:14:07.93
FROM THE APOSTLES BUT
THE APOSTLES AGREED TO
00:14:07.93\00:14:15.73
IT.>>BILL: YEAH. >>DR.
00:14:15.73\00:14:16.20
KNIGHT: AND THEY HAD
NO BURDEN TO GET TITUS
00:14:16.20\00:14:19.26
CIRCUMSIZED. SO
THAT'S HIS FIRST STEP IN HIS
00:14:19.26\00:14:23.00
ARGUMENT. THAT HIS
CALLING IS OF DIVINE ORIGIN. THE
00:14:23.00\00:14:24.03
NEXT THING THAT HE M
IS TO PROVE THAT HE'S AT
00:14:24.03\00:14:33.93
LEAST AS GOOD AN
APOSTLE AS PETER. OKAY. SO LET'S
00:14:33.93\00:14:38.26
GET DOWN TO VERSE
11. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:14:38.26\00:14:39.16
KNIGHT: THAT WHEN
CEPHEUS, THAT IS PETER, CAME TO
00:14:39.16\00:14:42.20
ANTIOCH I OPPOSED HIM TO
HIS FAITH BECAUSE HE STOOD
00:14:42.20\00:14:51.50
CONDEMNED. I'M TELLING
YOU BILL, SOMETIMES I READ THE
00:14:51.50\00:14:52.70
NEW TESTAMENT AND I
THINK, OH, THE CHURCH BACK
00:14:52.70\00:14:56.83
IN THOSE DAYS, THE GOOD
BROTHERS.>>BILL: THEY GOT
00:14:56.83\00:14:59.93
ALONG. >>DR. KNIGHT:.THEY
GOT ALL GOT LONG. BUT I
00:14:59.93\00:15:01.13
CALL THIS THE GOOD NEWS
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. >>BILL:
00:15:01.13\00:15:05.66
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T ALL
00:15:05.66\00:15:08.03
GET ALONG. AND THAT'S
GOOD NEWS FOR ONE REASON
00:15:08.03\00:15:09.00
BECAUSE WE STILL
DON'T ALL GET ALONG. >>BILL:
00:15:09.00\00:15:12.53
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: WE
HAVE STRONG OPINIONS AND
00:15:12.53\00:15:13.63
SOMETIMES WE HAVE
WEAKNESSES. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:15:13.63\00:15:14.56
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
WELL, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT PETER
00:15:14.56\00:15:17.33
WAS WEAK BEFORE
PENTACOST >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:15:17.33\00:15:18.80
KNIGHT: BUT AFTER HE
GOT BAPTIZED BY THE SPIRIT,
00:15:18.80\00:15:19.80
DID HE STILL HAVE
WEAKNESSES? YOU BET.
00:15:19.80\00:15:21.43
>>BILL: OF COURSE.
HE'S HUMAN, RIGHT? >>DR.
00:15:21.43\00:15:24.30
KNIGHT: YEAH. SO PAUL
SAYS, "I OPPOSED HIM TO
00:15:24.30\00:15:25.30
HIS FACE BECAUSE HE
STOOD CONDEMNED". NOW WATCH THE
00:15:25.30\00:15:29.46
SITUATION. "FOR
BEFORE CERTAIN MEN CAME FROM
00:15:29.46\00:15:34.43
JAMES HE ATE WITH THE
GENTILES." >>BILL: OOPS.
00:15:34.43\00:15:35.40
YES. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THAT IS, HE TREATED THEM AS
00:15:35.40\00:15:38.93
EQUALS. >>BILL: EQUALS.
00:15:38.93\00:15:39.43
RIGHT. HE DIDN'T SEE ANY
DIFFERENCE. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:15:39.43\00:15:42.13
"BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK
AND SEPARATED HIMSELF, FEARING
00:15:42.13\00:15:43.83
THE CIRCUMCISION PARTY",
THAT IS THE JUDIZERS, THE
00:15:43.83\00:15:44.83
FALSE TEACHERS, "AND
WITH HIM THE REST OF THE JEWS
00:15:44.83\00:15:50.80
ACTED INSINCERELY SO
THAT EVEN BARNABUS WAS CARRIED
00:15:50.80\00:15:56.23
AWAY BY THEIR
INSINCERITY". LET'S PUT
00:15:56.23\00:15:57.10
THIS IN CONTEXT.
HERE'S PETER EATING WITH THE
00:15:57.10\00:16:03.00
GENTILES, YOU KNOW. THE
JEWS HAD A RULE. YOU CAN'T
00:16:03.00\00:16:08.66
EAT.>>BILL: ASSOCIATE.
00:16:08.66\00:16:09.16
ANYTHING. ANY ASSOCIATION
WITH THEM. RIGHT. >>DR.
00:16:09.16\00:16:12.23
KNIGHT: NO. BUT PETER
HAD A VISION ON THIS TOPIC.
00:16:12.23\00:16:13.26
>>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:16:13.26\00:16:14.46
>>DR. KNIGHT: ACTS,
THE TENTH CHAPTER. >>BILL:
00:16:14.46\00:16:15.60
THAT'S RIGHT. >>DR.
00:16:15.60\00:16:16.96
KNIGHT: HE SAW THE
SHEEP LET DOWN FROM HEAVEN OF
00:16:16.96\00:16:17.96
UNCLEAN ANIMALS AND
HE SAID, LORD, I'VE NEVER
00:16:17.96\00:16:19.73
EATEN ANYTHING UNCLEAN
IN MY LIFE. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:16:19.73\00:16:22.26
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: THE
LORD TOLD HIM LATER IN THE
00:16:22.26\00:16:23.30
VISION, I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT UNCLEAN ANIMALS. I'M
00:16:23.30\00:16:26.30
NOT TALKING ABOUT EATING
I'M TALKING ABOUT.>>BILL:
00:16:26.30\00:16:30.40
PEOPLE. >>DR.
00:16:30.40\00:16:30.76
KNIGHT:.GENTILES. YOU
MAY FEEL FREE TO ASSOCIATE
00:16:30.76\00:16:34.10
WITH THESE. THAT
THEY'RE CHRISTIANS. >>BILL:
00:16:34.10\00:16:35.03
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR.
KNIGHT: AND SO PETER ATE
00:16:35.03\00:16:37.40
WITH THEM. BUT NOW, PETER
ALSO.>>BILL: THE GUYS COME
00:16:37.40\00:16:43.03
FROM HEAD OFFICE .>>DR.
00:16:43.03\00:16:43.56
KNIGHT:.YOU KNOW, BILL,
THERE MUST BE A PASTORAL
00:16:43.56\00:16:46.13
LESSON HERE. SOMETIMES,
EVEN GOOD CHRISTIANS DON'T
00:16:46.13\00:16:47.20
ALWAYS PRACTICE EVERYTHING
THEY KNOW TO BE RIGHT.
00:16:47.20\00:16:56.53
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:16:56.53\00:16:56.96
KNIGHT: AND, YOU KNOW,
IT'S AN ACT OF GRACE IF
00:16:56.96\00:16:59.36
THEY HAVE A PASTOR OR A
FRIEND, WHO IN THE SPIRIT
00:16:59.36\00:17:04.86
OF JESUS, CAN SAY,
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT
00:17:04.86\00:17:05.83
PRACTICING WHAT YOU
BELIEVE. AND THAT'S WHAT
00:17:05.83\00:17:10.10
PAUL'S DOING HERE. BUT
BECAUSE, BECAUSE OF THE
00:17:10.10\00:17:14.23
NATURE OF THE
EVENT, IT'S A LITTLE MORE
00:17:14.23\00:17:15.10
CONFRONTATIONAL THAN
PROBABLY ANYBODY WOULD
00:17:15.10\00:17:19.00
LIKE. OKAY. VERSE 14,
"BUT WHEN I SAW THAT THEY WERE
00:17:19.00\00:17:26.03
NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD
ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL,
00:17:26.03\00:17:27.13
I SAID TO CEPHEUS
BEFORE THEM ALL, IF YOU BEING A
00:17:27.13\00:17:30.53
JEW LIVE LIKE A
GENTILE AND NOT LIKE A JEW, HOW
00:17:30.53\00:17:34.96
CAN YOU COMPELL THE
GENTILES TO LIVE LIKE
00:17:34.96\00:17:35.90
JEWS?" THAT IS, IF
YOU WERE EATING WITH THESE
00:17:35.90\00:17:38.86
GUYS, BROTHERS, HOW COME
NOW? >>BILL: YEAH, WHY IS
00:17:38.86\00:17:42.33
THERE AN ISSUE NOW? >>DR.
00:17:42.33\00:17:42.86
KNIGHT: YEAH. >>BILL:
WHAT HAPPENED? >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:17:42.86\00:17:45.06
THEN HE'S GONNA TALK
ABOUT THE PLAN OF SALVATION. NOT
00:17:45.06\00:17:46.16
BECAUSE, LIKE IN ROMANS,
HE'S GIVING AN EXPOSITION,
00:17:46.16\00:17:51.66
BUT HE WANTS TO SAY,
LOOK IT, WE WERE ALL SAVED IN
00:17:51.66\00:17:57.43
THE SAME WAY. AND IT WAS
NOT BY KEEPING THE JEWISH
00:17:57.43\00:17:58.43
LAW. NO. WE - THIS
IS A GREAT PASSAGE ON
00:17:58.43\00:18:04.96
SALVATION. BUT PAUL IS
NOT TALKING ABOUT SALVATION.
00:18:04.96\00:18:11.30
WELL, HE IS BUT IT'S
ONLY AS AN ILLUSTRATION. YOU
00:18:11.30\00:18:12.33
DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL
THIS STUFF. YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:18:12.33\00:18:18.56
BECOME A JEW FIRST AND
GO THROUGH THE CIRCUMCISION
00:18:18.56\00:18:21.13
AND ALL THE REST OF THIS.
00:18:21.13\00:18:21.66
BUT AS A SIDE BENEFIT,
WE GET A TREMENDOUS TEACHING
00:18:21.66\00:18:25.96
DOWN HERE IN VERSE
16. "YET WHO KNOWS THAT A
00:18:25.96\00:18:27.00
MAN IS NOT JUSTIFIED
BY A WORKS OF THE LAW BUT
00:18:27.00\00:18:36.16
THROUGH FAITH IN
JESUS CHRIST. EVEN WE HAVE
00:18:36.16\00:18:44.06
BELIEVED IN CHRIST
JESUS IN ORDER TO BE JUSTIFIED
00:18:44.06\00:18:45.03
BY FAITH IN CHRIST AND
NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW
00:18:45.03\00:18:50.46
BECAUSE BY WORKS OF
THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE
00:18:50.46\00:18:55.06
JUSTIFIED." HERE WE
HAVE ONE OF PAUL'S GREAT
00:18:55.06\00:18:56.00
STATEMENTS ON SALVATION.
00:18:56.00\00:19:01.76
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER
HIS PURPOSE IS NOT TO TALK
00:19:01.76\00:19:02.76
ABOUT SALVATION AS A
DOCTRINE. HIS PURPOSE
00:19:02.76\00:19:09.70
IS TO SAY, LOOK IT, BOTH
JEWS AND GENTILES HAD ONE
00:19:09.70\00:19:16.30
SALVATION THEREFORE
THERE SHOULD BE ONE TABLE.
00:19:16.30\00:19:17.26
JEWS NOT EATING AT
THAT TABLE.>>BILL: RIGHT.
00:19:17.26\00:19:27.66
>>DR. KNIGHT:.AND GENTILES
AT THAT TABLE. LOOK IT, IF
00:19:27.66\00:19:30.93
LAW, IF IT WAS BY, IF
IT WAS BY KEEPING THE LAW,
00:19:30.93\00:19:31.93
YEAH, PUT THE JEWS OVER
HERE AND THE GENTILES, NO,
00:19:31.93\00:19:39.30
NO, NO. WE WERE ALL
SAVED IN.>>BILL: THE SAME WAY.
00:19:39.30\00:19:43.23
>>DR. KNIGHT:.ONE WAY.
00:19:43.23\00:19:43.73
>>BILL: THE SAME WAY.
00:19:43.73\00:19:44.20
>>DR. KNIGHT: AND HE
WILL BUILD, HE WILL TAKE THIS
00:19:44.20\00:19:45.86
WORD FAITH NOW AND HE
WILL BRING IT INTO THE ARGUMENT
00:19:45.86\00:19:48.46
ABOUT ABRAHAM. WE'RE
GOING TO FIND THAT IN THE NEXT
00:19:48.46\00:19:49.50
COUPLE OF CHAPTERS
BUT I'LL JUST INTRODUCE IT
00:19:49.50\00:19:54.73
RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE THE
JEWS SAID THE BIG THING
00:19:54.73\00:19:58.93
ABOUT ABRAHAM IS THAT
HE WAS CIRCUMSIZED. >>BILL:
00:19:58.93\00:19:59.90
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO
00:19:59.90\00:20:03.16
BE A CHILD OF ABRAHAM.
BUT PAUL WILL GO BACK TO THE
00:20:03.16\00:20:06.53
OLD TESTAMENT AND SAY,
WAIT A MINUTE.>>BILL: IT
00:20:06.53\00:20:07.50
ISN'T LIKE THAT. >>DR.
00:20:07.50\00:20:10.83
KNIGHT:.THAT'S ONLY THE
OUT WARD SIGN OF AN INWARD
00:20:10.83\00:20:11.90
EXPERIENCE. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:20:11.90\00:20:13.63
>>DR. KNIGHT:
ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND WAS
00:20:13.63\00:20:14.56
JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. AND
SO ABRAHAM, WE'RE GOING TO
00:20:14.56\00:20:22.96
SEE IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF CHAPTERS, BECOMES A
00:20:22.96\00:20:26.43
PRIMARY PLAYER IN
THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION. WHAT
00:20:26.43\00:20:27.40
DOES IT MEAN TO BE A
CHILD OF ABRAHAM? PAUL IS GOING
00:20:27.40\00:20:33.16
TO ARGUE AS HE DOES
HERE, "THAT A MAN", VERSE 16,
00:20:33.16\00:20:38.13
"IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY
WORKS OF LAW BUT THROUGH FAITH
00:20:38.13\00:20:39.26
IN JESUS CHRIST. EVEN
WE WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN
00:20:39.26\00:20:47.50
CHRIST JESUS IN ORDER
TO BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN
00:20:47.50\00:20:52.80
CHRIST, NOT BY WORKS OF
THE LAW BECAUSE BY WORKS
00:20:52.80\00:20:53.80
OF THE LAW SHALL NO
ONE BE JUSTIFIED. NOW, PAUL
00:20:53.80\00:20:58.16
HAS RAISED SEVERAL ISSUES
HERE. WE'VE ALREADY TALKED
00:20:58.16\00:21:03.70
ABOUT ONE. HE'S RAISED
THE ISSUE OF FAITH. HOW DOES
00:21:03.70\00:21:04.73
THAT PLAY INTO THE
WHOLE COVENANT EXPERIENCE? TO
00:21:04.73\00:21:08.53
BE A PERSON, A BELIEVER
IN THE PEOPLE OF GOD BUT HE'S
00:21:08.53\00:21:15.83
ALSO RAISED THE ISSUE OF
LAW. AND PAUL IS GOING TO
00:21:15.83\00:21:16.83
HAVE TO COME BACK TO
THE WHOLE ISSUE OF LAW IN
00:21:16.83\00:21:22.70
CHAPTER THREE. I
MEAN, AFTERALL, ROMANS SEVEN
00:21:22.70\00:21:27.96
PAUL BELIEVES THAT THE
LAW IS GOOD, IT'S NOT BAD. BUT
00:21:27.96\00:21:29.06
IN 1TIMOTHY IN THE
FIRST CHAPTER, AND ABOUT THE
00:21:29.06\00:21:34.30
FIRST EIGHT OR TEN, HE
TELLS US THAT THE LAW IS
00:21:34.30\00:21:37.03
GOOD IF IT'S
USED LAWFULLY. >>BILL:
00:21:37.03\00:21:37.83
CORRECTLY. ABSOLUTELY.
00:21:37.83\00:21:41.80
>>DR. KNIGHT: YEAH. SO
THERE'S A CORRECT WAY AND
00:21:41.80\00:21:42.80
AN INCORRECT WAY THE
LAW BUT ONE WAY, AS WE NOTED
00:21:42.80\00:21:45.20
LAST TIME, THE LAW IS
NEVER A LADDER TO HEAVEN.
00:21:45.20\00:21:52.86
OKAY. SO HE GOES ONE,
VERSE 19, "FOR I THROUGH
00:21:52.86\00:21:53.83
THE LAW, FOR THE LAW,"
THAT IS HE'S DYING TO THE
00:21:53.83\00:22:03.16
LAW AS A WAY OF SALVATION
THAT I MIGHT LIVE TO GOD.
00:22:03.16\00:22:08.46
I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED
WITH CHRIST. THIS IS ONE; THIS
00:22:08.46\00:22:09.53
IS A GREAT MEMORY
VERSE, BILL. EVERY CHRISTIAN
00:22:09.53\00:22:17.43
OUGHT TO MEMORIZE
THIS PASSAGE. >>BILL: YES.
00:22:17.43\00:22:21.33
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR.
KNIGHT: "I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED
00:22:21.33\00:22:22.33
WITH CHRIST IT IS NO
LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT
00:22:22.33\00:22:23.93
CHRIST WHO LIVES IN ME
AND THE LIFE I NOW LIVE IN THE
00:22:23.93\00:22:26.26
FLESH I LIVE BY FAITH
IN THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVED
00:22:26.26\00:22:27.23
ME AND GAVE HIMSELF
FOR ME." OH, THAT'S A
00:22:27.23\00:22:33.13
POWERFUL PASSAGE. >>BILL:
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:22:33.13\00:22:36.56
WHEN WE COME TO
JESUS IT'S A CRUCIFIXION OF
00:22:36.56\00:22:37.53
THE OLD SELF-CENTERED
ACHIEVEMENT.>>BILL: YES.
00:22:37.53\00:22:41.86
>>DR. KNIGHT:.ORIENTATION.
00:22:41.86\00:22:42.40
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
KNIGHT: AND SAY, GOD THERE IS
00:22:42.40\00:22:46.23
NOTHING I CAN DO; YOU
MUST DO IT FOR ME. AND WITH
00:22:46.23\00:22:48.73
THAT WE HAVE THE
INTERNALIZATION OF THE
00:22:48.73\00:22:49.56
HOLY SPIRIT. CHRIST
LIVES OUT THE PRINCIPLES OF HIS
00:22:49.56\00:22:55.80
LOVE. OR THE PRINCIPLES
OF HIS LAW, IF YOU SO DESIRE,
00:22:55.80\00:23:01.33
WITHIN OUR LIVES. WE
HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED BUT AS
00:23:01.33\00:23:02.33
ROMANS SIX SAYS, YOU'RE
NOT ONLY CRUCIFIED, YOU'RE
00:23:02.33\00:23:07.73
RESURRECTED TO A NEW WAY
OF LIFE AND PAUL IS GOING
00:23:07.73\00:23:11.53
TO PLAY OUT THIS
THEME, ALSO, IN THE LAST TWO
00:23:11.53\00:23:12.53
CHAPTERS OF GALATIONS.
SO HE'S REALLY, IN THESE FEW
00:23:12.53\00:23:16.46
VERSES, 16 DOWN TO 21,
HE HAS RAISED ALL THE ISSUES
00:23:16.46\00:23:23.23
HE'S GOING TO BE TREATING
IN THE LAST FOUR CHAPTERS
00:23:23.23\00:23:24.26
NOW WHAT DOES FAITH
MEAN IN TERMS OF ABRAHAM? HOW
00:23:24.26\00:23:29.36
DOES THE LAW WORK IN OUR
LIVES? AND WHAT DOES THIS
00:23:29.36\00:23:32.03
MEAN FOR YOUR WALK
WITH GOD? >>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:23:32.03\00:23:33.20
KNIGHT: NOW, HE'S GOING
TO FINISH OFF. >>BILL: YEAH,
00:23:33.20\00:23:35.83
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
THE WAY.HE REALLY NAILS IT
00:23:35.83\00:23:38.63
HERE, DOESN'T HE? >>DR.
00:23:38.63\00:23:39.16
KNIGHT: OH YEAH. YEAH.
00:23:39.16\00:23:39.63
>>BILL: THIS IS
INCREDIBLE HERE, ISN'T IT? >>DR.
00:23:39.63\00:23:43.26
KNIGHT: "I DO NOT
NULLIFY THE GRACE OF GOD FOR IF
00:23:43.26\00:23:46.30
JUSTIFICATION WERE
THROUGH THE LAW THEN CHRIST DIED
00:23:46.30\00:23:47.33
TO NO PURPOSE." >>BILL:
WOW. YEAH. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:23:47.33\00:23:54.83
I MEAN, YOU KNOW.>>BILL:
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ARGUE
00:23:54.83\00:23:58.10
THAT? >>DR. KNIGHT: YEAH.
00:23:58.10\00:23:58.63
AND REMEMBER THESE ARE
NOT JEWS HE'S DEALING WITH.
00:23:58.63\00:24:02.70
THESE ARE CHRISTIAN
JEWS WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS
00:24:02.70\00:24:03.80
THEREFORE, YOU KNOW,
HAVE AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
00:24:03.80\00:24:08.80
PLAN OF SALVATION BUT
WHAT THEY WERE SAYING IS THAT
00:24:08.80\00:24:12.13
GRACE IS NOT ENOUGH.
YOU MUST.>>BILL: YOU'VE GOT
00:24:12.13\00:24:13.13
TO DO YOUR PART. >>DR.
00:24:13.13\00:24:19.26
KNIGHT:.YOU MUST ADD
WORKS TO GRACE. AND PAUL'S
00:24:19.26\00:24:20.26
SAYING, NO, NO, NO, HOW
CAN YOU BE DECEIVED? THAT
00:24:20.26\00:24:24.33
IS ANOTHER GOSPEL AND
THERE IS NO OTHER GOSPEL.
00:24:24.33\00:24:32.00
BECAUSE IF JUSTIFICATION
IS THE LAW, THROUGH THE
00:24:32.00\00:24:33.00
LAW, YOU DON'T NEED JESUS.
00:24:33.00\00:24:38.80
IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER.
00:24:38.80\00:24:39.30
>>BILL: WHY DID JESUS
DIE ON THE CROSS? >>DR.
00:24:39.30\00:24:41.40
KNIGHT: SO, PAUL IS IN
A DEATH STRUGGLE AND WE'RE
00:24:41.40\00:24:42.36
GOING TO CONTINUE
THAT ON WITH THE THEOLOGY
00:24:42.36\00:24:45.93
IN CHAPTER THREE AND
FOUR >>BILL: WONDERFUL. LET US
00:24:45.93\00:24:49.76
PRAY. HEAVENLY FATHER,
THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF
00:24:49.76\00:24:50.76

THE SOUND OF MY VOICE HAS
00:24:56.20\00:25:01.73
NOT YET ACCEPTED THE
GIFT OF SALVATION, MAY THEY
00:25:01.73\00:25:02.73
RECEIVE IT NOW. IN
JESUS' NAME. AMEN. >>DR.
