titus chapter one
so here's a question for you can go out make a rock
soul ***
that he can't lift it
uh... he said ok now you've heard that many of your that uh... but think about
it and so if you work through it mental it's kind of funny
can god make a rock
sold a good you're like well you know what you're going to do anything
god to do anything
and that's the general believe me
so you say so god to do anything that ten-year journey can t make a rock-solid
that he cannot lift it
than others he can easily get left iraq
but he made the soviet but wait then he could make a rock with pop
start to serve circuit a little bit like a little little political out-of-court
uh... now and what's interesting is paul instruct us when we're reading first and
second timothy several times he kinda gave the charge
don't give heed to foolish questions
then don't waste your time with that stuff
and i believe uh... that that's something we should be careful of there
are people were asking those questions that are just dry and a you know uh...
create havoc in division
using a false dilemma too
uh... sort of uh... create this uh... lack of faith in people
now fortunately most people have kinda figured out that that's that's an
impossible question uh... but the government's possible with god
people say
and so there's still people the russell
and by the way that question wasn't originally asked derogatory leave or to
be
to be problematic it was actually out there that we read history books all the
way back to the mid evil period
when uh... there were certain guys who were raised the question it
they call that the army at the tennis paradox
the omnipotent spare toxin that is
going on that but it being which god is omnipotent in fact
the word omnipotent
omni potent all-powerful
all-powerful
what does that work on them but it mean a links to the word almighty in the
bible
but almighty is saying there's no one might here
there's no one more potent are powerful than god and that is absolutely true but
here's the question does omnipotent mean god to do anything
and so the argument then the medieval times raised even uh... dating at least
to the twelfth century
uh... addressed by uh... aberrant
the of errors these are philosopher other raise that
omnipotent ps a paradox
now later on uh... i'd our name thomas acquired this came along
and um... he made this assertion he said that the paradox of
turned ugly truck so they can tell it to
arises from a misunderstanding of the word on the contents
course the book of revelation is the only place without word on the potential
is used in the bible
uh... there and i have only seen the lord god almighty
or omnipotent ramos
uh... you know harlem ny a holy holy you know the whole thing
the lord dot on net that are powerful that mylene
that god to do everything
or anything
uh... so thomas acquire so that that's a problem or word on the contents he
maintains that
inherit contradictions
analogical him possibilities do not fall into the omnipotent sold off
uh... that's what he came up with a liberal i don't know that that's kind of
a cop out maybe
maybe
later c_s_ lewis maybe you guys know c_s_ lewis chronicles of narnia when he
was quite a thinker
an apologist
backyard is that uh... when talking about omnipotent scott all-powerful
nests
uh... referencing the rock so everything god cannot lift it
he says it is nonsense just making just as making a reference to a square circle
uh... that's a square circle all that you can say that that's a a logical
doesn't work
he says that it that that it is not logically coherent in terms
of power
to think that omnipotent includes the power to do the logically impossible
so asking can god alert create a rock so i have a good even if he can dial if it
is just as much as nonsense of saying can god
draw a square circle
and uh... the answer to that
results logically impossible dismay closer closer
uh... but but not i'd think it's interesting that was actually in a car
confirmed a feast
who gave an answer that is probably the best
which i think it interesting that it made his has to come to the defense of
christians asking foolish questions
nine here's what i think asimov set
uh... he answered i have variation of this question
uh... and as he takes it more scientific and for you
science not to love this for those of us working like wow
uh... technorati says what happens when in irresistible force
and irresistible force
meets an immovable objects
now the laws of physics science moser arun quantified
uh... definitions of irresistible force
and and and movable objects he says what happens
uh... when these two meat
he points out that albert einstein declared demonstrated equivalents of
mass energy
that is according to the relativity theory amass is simply froze an energy
energy and simply liquid mass
uh... so that's rolling fancies a great but i don't understand that but these
basically saying this in order to be either
and n movable force
uh... oren irresistible force
the entity must possess possess the majority of at energy in the system
okay oh stand up for either one of those two guests dot dot one of those things
have to possess the majority
of energy in that system or that
universes the scientists would call it
uh... now here's the problem no system can have two majorities
the universe in which there exists such a thing as irresistible force
is by definition a universe
which cannot also contained and the immovable object
our universe which contains an immovable object by definition also cannot contain
and irresistible force
so the question is essentially in is what he wrote
the question is meaningless
either the forces irresistible or the object is good movable but not both
thousand-mile points out that the question is the logical fallacy
of the pseudo question
it's a fake questions uh... that's what he says
not just because we constrain words together to form a looks like a coherent
sense
does not mean the sentence really makes any sense
out of the atheist coming to our rescue
saying because turns door about its uh... pseudo question
and we shouldn't stressed about it
now all that to say uh... jeremiah chapter thirty two percent is one of the
many scriptures that tells the god is
all-powerful almighty in fact i loved your my thirty two seventeen
they re says award god exclamation point
he says you have made the heavens of the earth by your great power in your
outstretched arm
there is nothing too hard for you
and that's the truth there is nothing too hard for god
i agree with the bible on that
dot jeremiah thirty two twenty seven p although i am the lord
the god of all flesh is there anything too hard for me the lord himself
rhetorically asks
is a really hard for me and and the answer is no doubt
again of those things that are logical and write there's nothing
is there anything hard for the lord no
now you got to be careful as weak as the lord is able to even surpassed logic and
do things that are great that or even illogical like using a person like me
or even more crazy using a person like you
about that
uh... it's illogical right but god can still use goof balls and and the bible
says the lord chooses
to use the week
and the fullest other there is a certain amount of illogical behavior that god
can say i can fix that and it doesn't make sense but i'm gonna do that
but the point is uh... here's something that's going to maybe surprise some of
you did you know that it's absolutely true
that god cannot do everything
or any uh... anything that he wants to do
guard can make a right to a big headache and cat litter
uh... knowing if that's true but you can send there are things that the bible
tells us
but god cannot do did you know that
now you say all benefits to shake my faith little if i can believe in god dot
never claims to be able to do everything
there's nothing that's too hard for him
but he he claims that his word in fact that there are things that he cannot do
will bring us me because he will not do it
well wall explore that a low that i want to show you some of my favorite things
that god cannot do
he said how can they be favor that solely limiting god no the fact is
the things that god cant do i'm so thankful for
twenty me wallace show you the first one
it's right here in the first couple verses
of our text in titus
uh... that's why i'm talking about this stuff is this is where we are the bible
and this little phrase is somewhat surprising check it out
this as
paul verse one of chapter one of titus
paul
are servant of god and apostle of jesus christ according to the face
of god's elected
and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness
in hope of eternal life
which god
that cannot lie
promised before the world began
z
god cannot lie with something god can do there so if you don't get it
praise the lord for that one
god cannot lie it's not within them it's not within his power
to in to do that
uh... now it's interesting as i was studying this you know i'd like that
sale or go down as the learned today what would you teach us from your word
there's so many things in this verse that to me uh... are so if you do we get
dark where we could talk about
the hope of eternal life but the good sermon for sunday morning
uh... we could talk about godliness which paul keeps bringing up with these
past oral epistles
uh... we could talk about his promises before the world begins we can talk all
about
all kinds of things
but they kept coming back to this truth uh... that god cannot lie
this award as part of my heart to say it was talked about putting skycam u
and the greatness of this thing that got to do is that he is still trustworthy
god cannot lie
now it's humanity that makes god seemed to be a liar but he is not
uh... there are so many issues that man uh... makes god a liar
uh... let me give you a big one hears there's a big one
uh... was of course paul wrote to the romans he said let god be true and every
man alive
so anybody who controversy god it creates a lighter on earth
if you say god is wrong and that's when you are a lot record in the bible
but god is right here is a big one anomaly as this one 'cause it's or
something but church a lot of church people
believe that it makes
them liars away me
what let me just say this dot mehta everlasting covenant with the jews in
the old testament true or false
it's spoken over and over and over again in fact
there's few things of the bible that are more and
repetition
uh... then that newt notion of god's people the jews
how he would never leave them reverse a camp
anne any made a couple it with them infact even cut covenant with abraham
and ideas you pass through these cut pieces of uh... beef
and you walk through them
and uh... make a company between two people the thing is god made a covered
it with a trampoline dot was the only one
who passed through the covenant
anagram was asleep the whole time
without me
it means that god's promise to the jews was based solely on him and not on the
jews themselves
so what he says i will make of your abraham a mighty nation and everlasting
covenant where
eventually said the that one of your descendants will rule
uh... and rain forever
holier political
dot on the bottom rate that's a promise
that was made to the jewish nation jewish people
so the church comes along
and uh... you know the jews they said the jews killed jesus christ
uh... tactically the jews dead killed jesus
and the romans were involved as well and so were you
and and so so uh... was off
that is that that anybody who's sandwiches everyone
uh... sent christ of across but
but somewhere along the way the church said
wilson's the jewels are the ones who said crucify him
they are no longer god's chosen people and so this is where dan wrong teaching
uh... that that uh... infact much of the most of the catholics believe in
penny protestants as well
believe in a replacement theology that is the dog replaced ledges
with the christian church the gentiles
to mir for the most dangerous teachings that you're here today and he said well
it's a big deal about that
well that the biggest deal is makes got a liar
but god promised that i a lot of everlasting covenant with you and i will
make a view
a mighty nation and out of your commenting
the rains forever
you say brett that's great but were the neutrals in people's lease keeping his
promise but not to the jews if you believe that
see that the elliott has read romans nine ten eleven
those three chapters say the dot is not done with the jewish people yes
they are blinded innermost liam at right now the bible says they don't see the
jesus relieve the messiah but they will
and uh... all of israel will eventually be saved romans chapter eleven remembers
twenty five twenty six tells about that
but that's an example of church single
god is left israel forsaken them which makes him a liar
that's why i'm so offended
by replacement theology
god has made a cabinet with his people now there's another thing which is scary
if you're a placement fee all just
diligent
here's the problem
uh... if god first took the jews for good reason
and what keeps them from disrespecting you
under you any better than the jews a me think about this
the juicer think worshipped idols and
did a lot of simple things but congratulations so have you know
we we uh... we're not even ashamed of what we have a show called american idol
slick and we would like to put out their american idolatry or whatever and
and uh... and uh... you know we have our own version of idols not just that but
in my do you know
instead of going to church would like to polish up our idols of chrome rubber and
steel
out in the driveway
we got our own idol or little things that we worship in doing that we're just
as guilty as the jews
anniv dot for sick time what keeps them from first taking you
the point is that's white
that such a dangerous thing to say well god didn't mean what he said
so the point is
the fact that god cannot lie when he makes a promise when he makes a covenant
with his people
when a joyful and beautiful thing that is
so when i read the bible it says
that you can be saved by confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart
the lord jesus christ if you believe that capacity
it says you will be state
and i i cleaned up my i know the dot is not a liar
and so i'm gonna trust him
opec think about that companies have a guy like be how kitty forgive the sins
of i've committed
and i can still wrestle with that
but it always gets back down to god keeps his word
is not a liar
god cannot lie don't you love that one
he keeps his promises that's good
uh... now
by the way jesus who is guarded flush got became a man lived among us
the fact is
was so cool about that is jesus declared i am the way the truth
analyzed
that jesus was the embodiment of god are in the flesh living in exile members
that man
you know how to percent god which is a mystery
buddy him as being so i am the way the truth even jesus is the truth
that's why
he cannot lie
'cause he's just the definition of truth
uh... number two on our list of things god cannot be let's move to another one
number one god cannot lie
uh...
uh... quote let me give you a more scripture
i'm glad caroline hebrew six eighteen
uh... there's another one case you're one more more evidence
uh... says
uh... smite to immutable things in which products fitted with with god incident
it is impossible for god to lie
that we might have strong consolation
who have fled for refuge to lay holed up on the hope
set before us
uh... that's hebrews our chapter six percent in eighty
the point is because he does not like cannot live with the hope of eternal
uh... life that's the lord
number two god cannot be tempted to
with evil
did you know that
god cannot be tempted vuelta
turn repeated james chapter one dash away a little scripture without very
plainly in spokane
and james chapter one
mister important because again people lie and say god is tempted with evil
when teaming
uh... you know how the bible says vengeance is mine sent forward
or the war suicidal or damage alice god to open or settle down
will be sold temper tantrum you know
tocqueville mistletoe
but wait a minute yeah remember when god says i'm a jar scott is not jealous of u
that's our jealousy words also of each other
dies jealous for you against the enemy safety understand that that's the right
just don't think that's
as god and uh... annes anger as a righteous anger there's no and
righteousness and he's not even tempted
sinful behavior attitudes
that's allot lately
izla logged over the same accorded wolf blitzer on c_n_n_ and not the moslems
globally and joe was the same as a lot
and the christians don't believe
our job was the same as a lot solely the our college professors in america uh...
that say that joel and all are the same
ceo liza capricious god that cannot be known and you never know what nobody's
really amounts the muslims believe
and so you better be on your best behavior
because men you never know who's gonna squishy like a bug on a windshield
or if he's gonna bring it with all your virgins into heaven
a law cannot be known
the beautiful thing about being a christian who worships the truth and
loving god his god can be known
and his personality is very clear
and we we we learned that god
uh... it doesn't have sinful personality
he doesn't on one day have a bad day get up on the wrong side of the god that up
in heaven
it doesn't happen
uh... dot is not tempted we see that in james chapter one
verse thirteen
it says let no man saying when he is tempted
i'm tempted of god
for god cannot be tempted with
evil
neither tempted fee any man
god cannot be tempted
uh... with evil that's interesting to me
uh... it's one of the things god cannot do
uh... now
uh... thing that's interesting about this god cannot be tend to be able dat
according to the bible is not tempted by sam
uh... in fact the bible teaches us become elected to cover
of the book through the book you realize that uh... that holiness is actually
reports
by sen
now the more you an idea come like god
uh... will never be god but we'd like to be like him
uh... what you'll find is you'll start to be more and more reports
by things you used to love
you guys don't have to be true things you used to do
uh... your eyes and i don't do those things anymore because
the repulsive
uh... i thought they were great at the time
but i realize they were destructive
and hurtful and i messed up my life
uh... god knows all those things
from the very get-tough casinos all things
and
so he says many i'm not even tempted by that
what dot the attempted to
uh... smoke a joint
for you weed people
what with the idea that uh... related
uh... the lord knows he knows what the fruit of that as you know the result of
that
had brought this provable plot does it affect the mental capacity
of anyway
uh... yeah
nuff said
but all that said uh... you know
dodgeball be tempted with evil for tied tight titus one fifty right here in our
taxes as to the fewer
all things are pure
to those but to those who are defile
and i'm believing nothing is pure even their mind
and their conscience or to file
uh... so so the law ready or marino's truth and purity and love that
god cannot be tempted
by the way on this one as well
uh... just in the note dot cannot tempt man
but another thing you cannot do
how you can bet that that is number three god cannot tempt met we saw that
in james one thirteen god is not put a temptation in front of you
wait a minute brett
don't know about that
also has a right here let no man say when he is tempted i'm tempted of god
forgot cannot be tempted
with eve evil neither be tempted and he attempted and e-mailed
years ago i was sitting with a young guy
bob's big boy berber garbage shock me
setting eating a burger
but there we were enjoying a beautiful hamburger and on this young kid he was
gone through all kinds of trials tons of trials tons of temptations and support
that
and you know we're just talking and i was shared some scriptures with them and
i i said you know sometimes the lord allows us to go through trials
and he allows us to go through temptations
right when i spent hours share this with sky 'cause he was asked what i would go
do this i was posed a greater share
well apparently this uh... elderly gallagher husband they were sitting next
to us in the booth next to us and and they were listening to our whole
conversation
an approach at microseconds she'd
first dot then she round our table
bright red face and angry she said
but does not test anyone tempt anybody
and i know what you think that she was jus thinkin james chapter one verse
thirty
uh... did for her problem is she doesn't understand
when you go to the story of job growth for example
did god allowed job to be tested tempted
absolutely
kat allowed it
was god the source of the temptation
no he was not
uh... the source was very clearly to you
satan right same approach doesn't want a job and you blessed in so much and i
would let me know when grateful to you
if you let me when that's awesome temptation
that he will deny you curse you your face
and so the lord allowed that to happen
but here's the thing that you got it you got a sample or didn't send the
temptation that something we need to know
what god will do however through those temptations comes from the enemy or
other sources
dot what levels to be items of testing
god will test you but he will not tempt you there's a difference
that this is a good god allowed with job was a test
satan was a loner provided the temptation you need to see that the
french differentiation
and and it's happened all even in the garden of eden
god a place but really knowledge of good and evil in the center of the garden
uh... that was the test
but satan was the one who came along and tempted
uh... satan tempted them it's the attached is to get to do good and to
learn
uh... but uh... temptation is a seduction to get you to do evil and to
cause you to fail
i hope you recognize the difference
this ain't never gives up on that one is always tempting
he works band night
to temps you in a mess you up
but the lord will allow you to be tempted now
uh... this is important to understand
uh... james one seventeen cents
every good and paper for gift comes from above which comes down from the father
of lights
with film there is no variation or shadow of turning
so all good things come from god
even attached is a good thing
and he said well that's great uh... but uh... oh what it what what how good is
that are these tests are going to i don't like
but here's the thing romans two for says
or do you despise the riches of his goodness
forbearance long-suffering not knowing that the goodness of god leads to
repentance
that is when the lord allows you good attentive testing
uh... you made it
testings those related to us high school
and college eva
the last final exam of my senior year in college
perhaps for the most joyful days of my entire life
remember walking down the steps of the science lol
with my last ah... physics classes come hopefully fluid
i'm free
right s
but god gives you just said you might not like them but they're all really
forget in fact we know that all things work together for good
so got god sometimes allows temptation
job example
but he knows when to step in and rescued two you know that
some you're like me and i like to say that the story of joe
to my wife resembles it too much i remember
uh... we're going to the the book of job with as a turn for you know it's a
fairly lengthy book
and jobs friends wax very long and painful
and was gone through dredging through june
and i remember some people zimbra
can you please hurry
uh... cuz my life is starting to maps jobs can we just have to that book
cuz you know we always say where we're at in the bible's where rad life so we
went through job lagi loaded up that was true
of solar pv ordered joe of
course for the revelations coming first in the wrath of the church will happen
before that so hopefully
bucks cup but all that said
uh... here's the deal
uh... one of the great verses that you many of you know about temptation
uh... and the trials of the testing
his first trip is ten thirteen you know it
this is no temptation is overtaking u
accepts such as common
two-man others are not unique
uh... every temptation your face everybody else faces too
maybe in different forms and fashions
but we're all tempted commonly
but god is faithful goes on who will not allow you to be tempted above
that what you are able
now listen this is the key
but with the temptation he will also make the way of escape
that you may be able to barrett
and i love that
never been tempted so much like a cat thirty people or
airline let god be true never know what you can bear it and you can do it
the lord he'll never temp job up you might be hearing about your fingernails
but they don't know what uh...
uh... but the lord will provide the waves came in here by the way a tricky
when you're going to trials and temptations
one of the things you should do is look for the escape hatch
that you've got to give you gotta look for the good lord says it will ward well
provide away of a state
and now it's funny to me 'cause i've noticed and and
and uh... people that i talk with them i own life albeit messing up my life is
doing something
where i know i'm being tempted i'm putting myself in a place of temptation
and the lord provides escape hatches along the way
it's not just one
it's many have you seen this
uh... you know you don't talk about uh... you could just keep
denied on marketing omitted
play in a row assembly to put myself in a place
are making provisions for the flash
as a doors go buy a escape hatches red letters scapegoat handle
you can bail out
but the key is to escape
run for your life
affair idea
an award will always provide that second peter chapter two responses than the
lord knows
how to deliver
but god lead out of temptation
and a reserve the and just under punishment for the day of judgment
god cannot lie
god cannot be tempted
uh... with to do evil
and god cannot
tempt man these are things the bible says god cannot do
let's go a little more in the abstract
here's something for it dot cannot learn anything new
we thought about this
god cannot learn anything new
uh... why
right who knows everything already
uh... he's ki and it's it's not one of the army words in the bible there are
three main ones
omniscient
means that he's all-knowing
omnipotent pgs all power a powerful are on the president is that he's able to be
everywhere
he's uh... encompasses all things
he's everywhere to get to the reason for that is these infinite
dot of infinite
according to the bible
but this idea on this *** at it really get a changes the equation when you
really think it through
cuz god noes everything
in fact there's a bunch of scriptures that we can uh... we can talk about in
that but uh...
or one it is uh...
uh... job chapter thirty-seven worry says his knowledge in fact is perfect
complete is that yet
psalm one forty seven responses
but the lord is a knowledge is beyond measure
immeasurable
he knows all things
and uh... isaiah forty six verses nine intense as this
remember of a former things of all that
for r_e_m_ drive there is no other i have god there's none like me
declaring the end from the beginning
in other words he knows the end from the gym beginning
from the ancient times
all the weight of the things that are not even yet done
saying my counsel soul stand that i will do my good what pleasure
one of the things about god
that's unique
is that he knows all things and he knows
the past the present and future
that's one of these that makes this book miraculous by the way the bible says
only book that was without a percent
success
is nailing the beginning from the end
uh... there's so many processes we can talk about that the bible thornton even
cyrus the media came in attack babylon the bible so that was going to happen
a hundred years earlier and had named him by name
forces ado blame cyrus
one hundred years from now is going to come and takeover battle
evening that by name
high-level and regional brown i don't know about that no
isaiah run it nor the dating raise and we know
and jesus as the dies then knew he was talking about so if you say i don't know
if it's not a real isaiah than you have an argument with
jesus
uh... that's an interesting thing that the bible does
it predicts things like
the jews
the jews we talked with us last week the jews would be scattered
the bible says i was gonna happen all over the world
called the diaspora
but then two thousand years nearly two thousand years later at the jews are
regarded into the same land where they were when that
and that in their fathers days
which is as a rail
that happened in our lifetime that prophecy
uh... many of our lifetimes of many of you for the older folks in here
uh... if you were alive on may fourteenth nineteen forty eight
you saw bible prophecy come to pass
perfectly
walked his god knows the whole story
you know as the beginning from the ent
it's like if you could imagine you're out watching the rose parade here in
portland
you're sitting there on the street corner wizard octave marking your little
area
you're watching a parade go by you don't know what's coming around the corner you
always see what's in front of you
that's linear
that's the way we see things
but god is sort of like in the k_-two helicopter up their and he sees the
beginning of the parade in the end of the paredes his ball thing
because he's on mission he knows all things eleven's bargain
so it was that in mind god cannot learn
be surprised
disease omniscient
now this is good news seat i saw encouraged and encouraged everyone god
cannot lie i'm encouraged the god cannot be tempted
does not have a bad day and company
cuz he's in a bad mood
i'm glad that god cannot tempt me
and he knows the level of temptation that i can handle
but i'm also glad that draws on mission and here's why
because knowing all things did you know that god cannot be disappointed in you
that's amazing to me
c i could be december when i can say look at your own such high hopes for you
but look at yourself
which i believe what you have done
and you say uh... that's right
but god
he doesn't say that work as it now
he know exactly what you would do he knew about
the depth that you would sink
and yet what's amazing is you're still here at church on sunday morning
uh... drugs still working on a still chipboard if you're not here
but i get a little worried because you know you're off to your own thing in the
ward can speak and fusion
in the context of the church even though the by wasn't supposed to do that
but the fact is you're hearing god speaking to your still keep but barbara
to signal all things the bible says he bristol's that everything
is naked and open before him
with whom we have to do
even your very fonts
he sees it all
and all of the thoughts of you funk right now
but he sees the fossa again i think
twenty years from now should you still be alive
and that amazing
and yet he still says i choose you and i love you
before knowledge of god
it's a radical radical truth
and so we can be excluded sure that god cannot learn bussy cannot be
disappointed
implications of gods
omniscient says pretty powerful
uh... here's another one
did you know that god cannot change
god cannot change
bible tells us that malachite chapter three vs
for i have the lord i do not change
therefore you are not consumed who sons of jacob
that's another one that he's targeting the jews in that context he said
our sons of jacob the jewish people
he says i cannot change will be comforted by that
god does not change again i told her that have a bad day
one-day changing to be in the meantime the next day changing to be a nice guy
again that's a lot of the muslims
speaking of occurrence and changing you know i'm one of the things that i love
about the bible
is it does not change
we christians have not gone through our bible over him and change things that we
didn't like well
should say
people that
are uh... are not willing to
lose it all together there are people changing things
i think there's translations are starting to change like for example you
have a new international order king james r new *** senator
now the old true translations
but when people start changing the bible here in big trouble
so the book of mormon what they do
they changed the bible
and now i i think they changed a lot
god is an ever-changing be if you're mormon
even though the bible says part of the lord never change what do they believe
are let me quote to you uh...
joseph smith in his writings called the times and seasons volume five
page uh... six hundred thirteen six or fourteen
he says that god
used to be a man just like us only living on another planet
greetings are going to
that's what does assist them
in fact uh... brigham young is proud of his fall or whatever later
uh... brigham young in his journal of discourses volume seven page three and
thirty three also said got used to be a man who lived on another planet
well italian come god he was a really good mormons with they believe if you're
really good mormon
then what happens is you moved from that uh... terrestrial level of having to go
to last year level
about other than if you're really really amazing
the mood of celestial evelyn
and that's how god
went from being a man
to being gone
and you too
if you're mormon
who's really good to move the vocal levels eleven
review of actually recess while so i will be given your own planet
and you'll have your wonder babies all the stuff it's it's an amazing story
but it's false
it's totally false and you can become a god do
see the problem of marmot isn't as they ahve made god changing
uh... two different god in the one i believe it
for the god i believe it was one who says i am the lord i do not change
and the member james one seventeen we are to read about every good and perfect
gift comes from above
and comes down from the father of lights
with whom they are is no variation
nor shadow attorney
we worship of god that never never changes
and and now here's work it's really
i think even more cool
did you know that
in the beginning was the word
and the word was west god and the word
was gone
the mormons have changed our bible they said it is or the removed from the word
was a god
exchanging
but here's the thing
the bible that we have doesn't change because it uh... it's it's in the
beginning was a war of the word was with god the word was god
this is an unchanging word
i love that that the fact that god has never changing and he cannot change
that makes it so the word of god never changes and cannot change
if you're reading a bible that they've changed
new world translation
or book of mormon
round for your lives because they're changing it but the way the book of
mormon
uh... i was able to look through book uh... it's called three thousand nine
hundred thirteen changes
in the book of mormon by gerald and send it to them
and what they did they may have basically a parallel book of mormon
and they want with their original one that you know back in the days of joseph
member that was
i will not long ago really relatively
and they showed how many changes in the right next to the original one
and there's three thousand
one hundred three thousand nine hundred thirteen changes in the book of mormon
how many
have we put in the bible
zero
zilch
uh... by the way the current
uh... the book of islam
uh... the tata valve model so he's
of ivan nagy dodd mentions
output josh
yes i just said some names that were uh...
uh... muslim man
allege arch
who is a close first
uh... in the in the beginning of of islam
within a hundred years altho josh
uh... change the book of karan
in fact he made a eleven very radical changes of the can be traced in seeing
this college odds
uh... in in the translation is called the a postman x'mas shop
there of course was shocked
is the oldest manuscript of the book of karan
that is on the planet
it's the one that they really respect to the most
and that one came from allah josh
which basically uh... age made massive eleven massive changes and mormon
uh... doctor if you would
uh... these are things that happens with the other books
not with this book
the bible is never changing i love that
uh... ka can't stop being dog he never changes
they never gives up the lender and de gaulle unplugged sick of that you can go
to run your own
uh... i thought he became jim carey uh...
uh... no no that was a movie that you should not have watched
the fact that
but all that says
uh...
uh... dog cannot change that's another thing you can't keep resorts aren't you
glad that there's a constant
aren't you glad to get that god would have to be surprised about that you know
guns are sick of us it's was nice questions
now you never changes got of love
and compassion praise the lord quickly
one morals to be one more
there's more
we talk about god to never be wrong we could talk about god cat remember your
screens
so it's a good one but i'm gonna give you this week this is important
god cannot save those
who do not believe
that's something
god cannot save those who do know that i don't know the nuances of this
uh... and i know for u calvin is in armenia sliver battling back and forth
uh... that laminar you know make some you're upset on this one a big deal
it's what the bible's teaching us one of the bible says let me just read your
couple scriptures
second peter
chapter three verse nine
the says the lord is not slack concerning his promise of some intel
slack with slackers
but as long suffering spacious toward us
not willing to any should parish but that all should come to print
to repentance
believing that say that
god wants everybody to repent and to be say that's god's heart
that's god's mind
now so because of that people have written books saying
love wins
and they said everybody's eventually gonna make of it because that's what god
wants
the problem with that as there's other scriptures that salsa
there's gonna be many
who they are not going to be safe
in fact jesus himself talked about the narrow is the gate at least everlasting
life
while brought is the way
that leaves a structured and many will be who go through the broad way to help
the bible tells us to be a great white throne judgment
uh... book of revelation chapter twenty tells us
that there would be those who
refused to believe in god
and they will stand up for god's judgment from their and they will be
sent because of the rejecting god and i believe god with a compassionate and
tear forza emailing
did everything i could
everything within my power
to save you
i set my son
who died for your sins
uh... free gift of salvation he rejected that
christians telling you know the grace of god he rejected the gospel alright use
your mother to teach you about the gospel bittu rejected
her teaching in a renter encouragement free love jesus
and a follower
and rejected rejected
an immense also depart for me now with cancer
the bible says they'll be thrown into a lake of fire did hannah who's the greek
word
where they'll be weeping and wailing and gnashing t
at heavy topic
breweries anthem presumably been dogged them to go to hell
pretty much
possible bible says
but he said that if god is love
they've got to do anything that i believe you can say that we're making
couple huge mistakes personal god to do anything
and everything
god cannot save people
who've rejected him in so i don't want any part of his location
so the bible teaches
and so
the bible puts it on us
the lord's as i've done everything that needs to be done for you to be saved
here's what you need to do
uh... bowie
for god so loved the world that's the whole thing rate of one anybody to
parent she loves you so much as one send anybody now cuz he doesnt send people
now
you save yourself to help
if you choose to reject also so for god so loved the world he gave his only
begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish
but i've ever lasting life
mayhem
and romans
that chapter uh... ten burst nine intense as you know if you confess with
your mouth
and believe in your heart the lord jesus christ in god raised him up from the
dead
if you believe that in two thousand says you will be saved
so people play the dangerous game wolf go to school
why would he send people to know
god is love
he'd never set one personal people so themselves there
gottesman everything listen
within his power
and here's all my t_v_'s all-powerful but there's one limitation that power
he cannot say
willebrand i believe of for knowledge of god and he knew everything you do so
that earlier
and you've been chosen and productive and so we don't know and god knows them
and people got that
that's uh... aside argument because still the bible
from this perspective here on earth
puts it on us
to believe
so what do you know about that
all these things that we've talked a lot of things god
can't you
and all of them for me so far as i don't know praise the lord they cannot lie
praise the lord that he can't be tempted nor can he tempt me with sin
praise the lord the god cannot
learn
and be disappointed
in me because he really knew everything
praise the lord the god cannot change
and i can say praise the lord
that god cannot save
the person doesn't believe because i'd leave
i believed that jesus christ came
dot on the crossroads from the grave for giving me for all my sins
i'm no better than anybody else in this rumor on this planet
i'm just took center who's been saved because of face the grace of god to
please
and you can add that to you
all of these to be really good news to today
should you disbelieve
except
so here's what we're going to do what he is the last few minutes
of the service service that we have to uh... uh...
sick to do sometimes during the war
let's just take this time very seriously
and rejoice and give glory and thanks for the lord for who is if you're
christian ear what you joining just be in the content of an attitude of the
spirit of prayer would you die reds please let me
everybody's barrier heads
attitude of prayer
and i'm gonna ask you
that uh...
that if you're not a christian
if you've never confessed christ i remember christian is not a person goes
to church
at something christians do business on a major christian
a christian
as a person who believes it has confessed
jesus christ
he died on the cross the rose from the grave and they believe that
and if you've never done that you could have gone to church all your life to
have uh... pastor never gave you the gospel message of salvation and if
you've never been asked
do you wanna acceptable even and verbal as actors confession what the mouth
that is unto salvation scriptures
and so
you have that option
if you've never done that i can legion a prayer of confession
but it's got to come from your
if that you would you want that
before we go to the table of communion by the way if you don't believe
them a stable means nothing and and you p shouldn't go to the table
but if you are one of the leaves jesus told us about communion
virtually picture
of exactly what i'm talking about salvation forgiveness of sin power over
san the lovingkindness of gone his son jesus applying to the table or so before
we do that you could come to this table today
even if it's your first time going to communion
you could do that
if you believe and confess
if that you are not going to bear a shipping will make you coming down to
the front do embarrassing things are signing up for
anything like that
right where you said that you can confess christ to spread the word
and you
source christians observed that coming out of touch your sambar and i want to
become a christian
would you simply acknowledge that just let me know about by looking at if
you're looking up if you look at me
lyceum working on a number of years
who will become a christian
skin
ms look around for a minute matrices
those of you are looking up right now just understand that
eat some people have a struggle with this because in this world you can't get
anything for free
you gotta do something you don't work hard that's true generally
but now with this one
this really is the free gift of salvation jesus dental
all we need to do is really take it
receipt
you know and it's also yes including you know you got to repent saying i am a
sinner doesn't mean you're gonna be perfect from this day for two major
perfectly for good
we all still struggle
wrestle wilson

about
and so i'm gonna do that little confession right now before the lord of
the present on a national church to pray with you know

as a as a symbol
of his body that was
bruce morton respectful without remembrance for we know the nails were
in your hands should have been through ours
