Are Deaths and Infirmities Caused by Sin? — May 30, 2021: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 All of his household. Who gave alms generously to the people and he prayed to God always he saw clearly in a vision an angel. And the angel said to him your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God now send men to Peter in Joppa and he will tell you what you must do. And so we see here Cornelius was one who was obeying listening to God following God’s word and he had come God had given him a vision God had given him a word. And then we go to Peter. And the scriptures say that Cornelius. The angel said to Cornelius Peter knows and he’ll tell you what to do and Peter did not know at the time what to do.

▶ 0:58 While Peter thought about the vision the spirit he had just received a vision about uh you know what his vision was the the sheet that came down from heaven showing him all the animals and God said to him take eat and he had trouble understanding that vision and he thought about the vision the spirit said and behold three men are coming seeking you arise therefore go down and go with them doubting nothing for I have sent them. And so both men. Didn’t know exactly what was going on. But Peter shows up and he starts to understand. What God is saying in this vision. That God. Is not partial. He is looking at the whole world and he’s concerned about the whole world and he wants to reach the whole world in acts chapter 10 verse 44 says while Peter was still speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon those who heard the word and those of the circumcision who believed were astonished as many as came with Peter because the gift.

▶ 2:13 The Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles. For they heard him speak with tongues and magnify God so at this time God did something magnificent came with his Holy Spirit filled these Gentiles and he was doing a new and wonderful thing. And this morning like Peter and like Cornelius we need to ask what God’s vision is for us we need to. Be willing to accept whatever answer he gives. Whether it’s go here go there and he doesn’t may not give all the information but this morning we need to ask God to share his vision with us we need to ask God to bring his vision to us so let’s lift our voices and pray this morning inviting him inviting his spirit to come and do that wonderful.

I’d like to invite the Pastor Kincer to share God’s word this morning and thank you for joining us good to have everyone today God bless you let’s open up our hearts and hear God’s wonderful word just like mary when she met Jesus at the tomb was ready to hear God’s word amen. Okay we are continuing. Our study of John chapter 20 verse 30.

▶ 33:44 Many other signs miracles did Jesus in the presence of his disciples. Which are not written in this book the gospel of John but these are written in the gospel of John so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the messiah. The son of God and that by believing that Jesus is the Christ the messiah and the son of God you may have life in his name both abundant life here on earth and eternal life to come. Peter said to Jesus you are the Christ the son of the living God exactly what John. Said. Jesus said flesh and blood has not revealed that to you Peter but my father.

▶ 34:41 In heaven has revealed that to you. Much study going to seminaries and Bible colleges didn’t reveal that to you Peter. God himself revealed that to you and the faith we have comes from God himself. If we just have faith in our faith it’s the wrong faith. If we just have faith in what somebody told us it’s the wrong faith faith comes by hearing the word. And. God has to reveal these things to us and so we’ve been looking at the miracles in John. And today we’re going to continue with the sickness versus sin sign. That God had written in the gospel of John and it answers the questions are deaths and infirmity infirmities caused by sin okay so in this session 12 remember last week.

▶ 35:46 The blind man was born blind. And they asked Jesus who sinned. This man. I mean how do you sin being born. Or his parents who sin. Because everybody thinks bad things only happen to people that fail that make mistakes and Jesus said neither this man nor his parents sinned. That isn’t why he was born blind and so today we’re going to take a look at some other scriptures. We’re going to ask ourselves who sinned in this scripture the man or his neighbor. In Deuteronomy 19:5 when a man goes to the woods with his neighbor to cut timber and his hand swings a stroke with the axe to cut down a tree and the head slips from the handle and strikes the neighbor so that he dies.

▶ 36:50 Okay. Now who sent this man who is swinging the axe or his neighbor that went with him and the one who died. Well the Bible tells us. And 19 verse 6 that this man who swung the axe is not deserving of death not deserving of being punished. Since he had not hated the victim in times past and so we see two things here because the man did not purposely kill the other guy. He is not held accountable for the death but we also see here. That the New Testament scriptures come from the old in the New Testament the Bible says that he that hateth his brother.

▶ 37:49 Is a murderer and we know. That murderers do not inherit eternal life. Well where do you think John got that scripture from the Old Testament right here see he didn’t hate his brother it was just an accident the bottom line it was an accident. It just happened. I’m reminded of a story of a mother was having a piano. Moved from her upstairs apartment. And her brother and another friend of his were trying to move this heavy piano. And one of them let go they couldn’t carry it anymore and that piano went running down those stairs.

▶ 38:43 A studio piano just sliding right down the stairs well she had sent her little girl out to play in the courtyard of the apartments and that little girl was at the bottom of the stairs looking. Up at this piano watching these people move and that piano came down those stairs and just crushed. This little lady. The whole upper torso and the head were just crushed by that piano. They took the child to the hospital. I was called in I was the young minister at the time. And I was called in and when I went in there of course the mother was just weeping profusely just. Yeah she had just.

▶ 39:35 There’s no way you could even talk to her all you could do is weep with her and that’s what people were doing just weeping with her and touching her and patting her on the back and just trying to comfort in some way. And so. I talked to the gentleman that was there and I asked to go in and see the child and I went in there and the hospital staff said there’s nothing that can be done you know this child is going to die. I didn’t go in there to play uh apostle Paul or anything I just went in there to observe the situation and I did go in to pray I prayed quietly to myself. While I was observing and this. It’s a horrible thing to see a head flattened.

▶ 40:30 You know and and a torso just crushed it it’s a horrible sight. And so I prayed silently and inward and there was no unction that came there’s a kind of a unction that comes when God wants to do something and there was not it was just time for this child to die that was it and so we went back out. And a Catholic priest had arrived she was a Catholic. And I overheard this priest saying that this little. Child died because of the sin of the mother. Wow. And he was telling other people and I as I began to hear.

▶ 41:24 The gentleman that invited me there. Was. Have an affair with this woman who had divorced. Her previous husband because he went out on her and she had struck up in a relationship with this gentleman who was also. Married. And this priest was just telling it all. And I heard this stuff and I thought wow we. That is not what this lady needs to hear. She is in tremendous torment. And now you’re blaming her for the death of this child.

▶ 42:17 And so. I. Scribbled on a piece of paper out of Ezekiel 18 and [unclear] where this. Child is not held accountable for the sins of a parent and the parents are not held accountable for the sins. Of a child. And that brought. Just the verse you know. Sometimes comforting can’t get through. But the scriptures can. And when she read this. There was a tremendous change. No longer did she feel guilt because she put that child out to play and it was all her fault and because she was having an affair with somebody that it it’s all her fault that this happened now she had hope.

▶ 43:23 Amen you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free I said lady it was just an accident. That’s all. There is. A strong teaching even in the history. That bad things happen because you did something bad and even in this generation. I met that lady several decades later. And I began to. As you probably know I’m always trying to witness and find out where people are and you know I asked Bible questions to her and she was so ignorant of the Bible. And uh there’s just people that only know the Bible from what people tell them and she was one of them.

▶ 44:18 But in all my question and my conversing with her she knew Jesus she believed Jesus died for her sin she believed she could repent and she did and she didn’t do that adultery anymore and you know she got married and and lived the rest of her life uh with that simplicity. Of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I knew when I was done even though she didn’t know about women can’t have short hair and women can’t wear clothes that are pertained to men and women can’t do this and women can’t do that and we’re not under law we’re under grace and she didn’t know any of this stuff but she knew Jesus who is what the Bible is about from Genesis 1 to Revelation the last verse and that gets you into eternity amen.

▶ 45:21 Hallelujah. Now this next one is a little gross. We’re going to take another look at a scripture and ask who sin. The woman. Or her baby in Exodus 21:18. That is what an aborted baby looks like. It’s not just a massive tissue folks all right. Not just a massive tissue it’s a baby in the womb. In Exodus 21:18 if people fight. And hurt a woman with child. So that her fruit the baby the embryo. Departs from her yet.

▶ 46:14 No harm follows she just had an early delivery. A fine shall be paid according to the woman’s husband and the judges imposed upon him okay the baby’s fine the mother’s fine everything is fine but it they have to pay a fine for their violent act and bringing harm to this woman verse 23 but if any harm follows. Then you shall give life for life if that baby died the ones who inflicted. The violence on that pregnant woman don’t mess with pregnant women I’m telling you God looks at that very sensitively.

▶ 47:08 Am I right yeah don’t mess with them if they want to eat pickles give them pickles. Whatever. You’ll give life for life eye for eye tooth for tooth hand for hand foot for foot burn for burn one for wound. You see it’s a violent act. A violent act and if the baby was okay and the woman was hurt and they knocked out her teeth or whatever they had to pay with their own teeth it’s the same law for slaves. Back there if somebody got into debt they could become a slave or a endited servant to you but if you hurt that slave.

▶ 48:03 If you knocked out his teeth or knocked out his eye then you had to let that slave go free or they knocked your teeth out and your eye out are you with me and nobody can kidnap so you could not take a slave by force in the Bible it was simply you went into debt you made some kind of financial mistake and you needed help and you could. Serve off a number of years to pay off that debt which your employer would do. And so this is a violent act. Okay. In Africa I saw this when I was visiting Africa about 30 years ago while I was there there was a tribe in Africa that hated another tribe.

▶ 48:58 And while I was there they warred with each other. And the real mean tribe that hated the not so mean tribe. If they found a woman pregnant they would cut her. [unclear] open take out the child and kill it right in front of her and then just leave her there. God. Says. That is a horrible crime a violent crime don’t mess with pregnant women can I hear an amen yes and so we also see race problems it’s not always the color of the skin if you read your history. Not only here in Africa did tribes fight tribes and kill each other but when you go to China dynasties fought dynasties and killed each other Japan same thing South America same thing Europe whites fought whites and killed each other you see it’s a cultural thing it’s you may have the same skin color that I do but you might speak a different language and you might have a different way of living in this life so you’re subservient to us and they fight.

▶ 50:22 And violence is a horrible crime. And so the woman had not sinned nor the baby these people that got angry and fought. In such a manner that they hurt this woman. God held him accountable. Now let’s go to another one. In Ezekiel. We’re going to go to a scripture and ask you who sinned. In these four calamities war. Famine. Wild animals or a plague who sin that they died or were hurt by these things. Or acts of God hurricanes tornadoes.

▶ 51:15 Earthquakes. Who sin. In Ezekiel 14 21 when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem. Jerusalem. You see Jerusalem is a shadow city of the heavenly Jerusalem the church. The people of God. And so when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem. Not the world here. I will send the sword the famine the wild beast and the plague. And then he tells us this. Only Daniel. Job. And Noah would deliver themselves.

▶ 52:10 By their righteousness. Neither their sons nor their daughters if they are not righteous. They can’t be delivered by the righteousness of their parent. Now just pause in there for people to think a minute because a lot of people in. America. Depend on their parents. They kind of serve the God their parents do. You need to serve God. Yourself. Oh yeah. Your parents shouldn’t have to be shoring up your christianity. You should be going to Jesus to shore up your christianity. Could that be an amen. Hallelujah.

▶ 53:03 Just because your parents know God and live for God doesn’t mean you are. Only Daniel job and Noah by their righteousness so the people that die in the plagues that God sends to correct his people. To correct. Wickedness. You know. Where whether these are God sent by the fact that real Christians aren’t touched. So this pandemic that we have we know that’s not a godsend thing don’t we because Christians are dying Christians are getting sick and let me just share this with you. You know.

▶ 53:55 Some people won’t take the vaccine some people will some people won’t wear a mask some people will and whatever. Listen. There were four people that came out of Judah into captivity in Babylon named Shadrach Meshach Abednego and Daniel. You remember the story plus thousands of Jews that came with him now. The king made a statue and told everybody to bow down to it well Shadrach Meshach and Abednego wouldn’t bow down. And you know Daniel didn’t bow down either am I right. No Daniel’s not going to bow down to that but God.

▶ 54:48 Delivered Daniel from having to go into the fiery furnace he didn’t have to experience the fiery furnace. Shadrach Meshach and Abednego got thrown into the fiery furnace and got delivered out of the fiery furnace. And then there were thousands of Jews bowing to that idol. In fear of their lives. Remember that three different groups now. We think. Daniel who didn’t have to go into the fiery furnace was the real spiritual one. Or we think the three. Hebrews Shadrach Meshach and Abednego with a real spiritual one boy the Lord appeared in the fire and brought him out. And we think how horrible it is that these Jews were so afraid and didn’t have enough of God in them to not bow to that idol how horrible.

▶ 55:53 Now let’s go again. Another day comes and the king says no one can pray to any God but the king’s got. Well Daniel went home opened his windows and prayed three times a day just like before. Now. They came and got Daniel and threw him in the lion’s den now you know Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. They did the same thing Daniel did they kept praying these were different these were noble men they serve God but this time God delivered those three from heaven to go into the lion’s den and he delivered Daniel out of the lion’s den. And there were thousands of Jews that did not pray.

▶ 56:47 Because they were afraid. Are you getting the picture. Now who’s the most spiritual. None who’s the most loved of God none they’re all love the same how do I know that because when God came to deliver them from the bondage of Babylon. He delivered them all Daniel it’s written Daniel. Went back to Jerusalem he was still alive after 70 years okay Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and all the fearful Jews that didn’t have enough of God to stand in that day God brought them out of bondage and back into the land of promise amen.

▶ 57:42 Hallelujah. So don’t think that you’re some lousy Christian because you got the pandemic. And don’t think you’re some super Christian because you didn’t get it. God delivers those that got sick God protects those who didn’t get sick God is God amen and we are the sheep of his pasture hallelujah give God a clap offering yes. Now if you got nothing out of the service this morning that was a good one hallelujah. Some people won’t get the vaccine whether you get it or where you don’t if you do it believe it in Christ relax he’ll take care of you. Are you. There now.

▶ 58:40 David. In closing. Experienced. This David took a census. Without the census offering. And God gave David three choices. Do you want me to judge. Israel and Israel deserved the judgment and so did the elders because the elders didn’t stop David and the people of God didn’t stop David from doing wrong. You know we’re not just to give in to leaders because they’re leaders we are supposed to know enough of God in his word to say hey this is wrong isn’t that right so don’t get that thinking that God was unjust because he’s bringing death and problems upon the people the people are also guilty because they did not stand up for truth are you with me and church that’s why in America we got to stand up for truth we got to speak out for truth if something is wrong we got to speak it out not attack them and not get personal and call them names just speak the truth could that be an amen just write a little verse like I did to this woman and hand it to her and let the word of God do the rest could that be an amen hallelujah.

▶ 1:00:08 So God give David three choices do you want three years of famine three months of war or three days of plagues of the Lord because you sinned here. And David chose the plague so Satan the death angel it was Satan. He was created to destroy. He is the death angel over in Revelation he’s the booger. God can’t do evil so when God wants something bad done. He allows Satan to do it do you understand that God cannot do evil. And he created Satan for the very purpose. Of doing evil.

▶ 1:01:02 There’s no accident that he fell from heaven there was no accident at all God knew everything from what the beginning. To the end does he yeah. But in our minds we try to figure this thing out rationally. So. The angel started in the northern kingdom as it looks like and came down and finally he’s and 70 000 people die from this plague and he’s at Jerusalem guess who’s in Jerusalem. David. Now if this death angel enters the city of Jerusalem David’s a dead duck. Because he’s the one that committed the sin are you there and those elders that were silent. They’re dead ducks for not opposing David when he committed this sin are you with me he got the picture.

▶ 1:02:02 So. The death angel Satan himself is coming he’s outside the city of Jerusalem he’s at the threshing floor of Ornan. Ornan saw the death angel God opened his eyes and he saw the death angel there and him and his children went into the threshing floor to hide themselves. And David came out to that threshing floor but David and the elders had been repenting. That David and the elders had been repenting to it. And that repentance that. Action that response. Caused God to stop the death angel at the threshing floor of ornan.

▶ 1:03:00 So David went out and he bought that threshing floor and he bought the burnt offering and he bought the meal offering. And on that threshing floor right in front of Satan the death angel he offered that burnt offering for sin. And he offered that meal offering. Which is not for sin. The meal offering is a thank offering a praise offering it’s not has nothing to do with your character your failure your mistakes it’s just you come to thank the Lord and to praise him for his marvelous works unto you amen so David is out there and Ornan said I will give you.

▶ 1:03:57 This threshing floor I will give you the animals and I’ll give you the meal offering and David said uh-uh I cannot sacrifice unto the Lord that which cost me nothing. Beautiful story. Today we can’t purchase animals and buy bread to offer to God but we can offer the fruit of our lips giving thanks into his name we can enter his gates with thanksgiving we can enter with praise we can do that and he will come and his presence will be there and he can speak to us and he can change our life hallelujah. Beautiful beautiful story as the musicians come.

▶ 1:05:00 I don’t care where you’re at. I don’t care what you’ve done I don’t care if you’re the super saint like Noah Daniel. And uh job. And I don’t care if you’re the lousiest. David said I’m I’m a flea on the dog I don’t care where you feel you’re at when you ask God to forgive you of your sin. He stops the enemy. Amen. When you go to Jesus our offering one offering for all time he forgives. The sin he forgives the guilt and he takes away the punishment. For that sin isn’t that beautiful and then what is left for us to do but praise him.

▶ 1:05:57 Thank him and you don’t have to wait for a sin to thank him and praise him this offering you can do anytime. The it cost you lifting your hands it cost you lifting your voice it cost you getting down on your knees it cost you dancing before the Lord that’s the cost you pay. In thanking and praising the Lord and he comes and he delivers us amen. It isn’t always sorrow and crying that brings deliverance you can bring deliverance to your life by the the high praises of God the Bible says the high praises of God in their mouth amen and a two-edged sword in their hand the word of God you can deliver yourself.

▶ 1:06:51 From this world amen. And with. That. If you. Have done anything that you feel guilty of or maybe you just want God to forgive you of things that you don’t know you did that’s what it says in Psalms 19 the secret sin the hidden sin you haven’t seen it yet. Would you just stand with me if you want God to change this. And let’s just say this sinner prayer together. Father God. I come to you. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. As you asked us to do. Be merciful. To me a sinner.

Now let’s just sing this song that was written by one of our church members decades ago let us give thanks to the Lord for he has blessed us this is the meal offering this is the praise offering this is what God accepted and he delivered David and the elders and Jerusalem because they followed his pattern. To the Lord for his love.

▶ 1:18:34 But David did cartwheels when he praised God David danced when he praised God. David shouted when he praised God seventy thousand people are dead. God has stopped the death angel. David has offered his sacrifice for sin and now he’s out there in the public open everybody can see him he’s praising God he’s singing praises he’s shouting praises he’s lifting his hands he’s dancing the joy of the Lord is there and it may seem sacrilegious to a lot of people but the Bible says he inhabits the praises of his people and he accomplishes about with songs of deliverance the praises of God when we sing it abates the enemy it stops the enemy we don’t have to always be crying and in sorrow the joy of bringing deliverance to Zion is just as powerful as the weeping and the sorrow amen.

▶ 1:19:40 Give me a song. Okay. Wherever it. Goes. Is.
