Turn Away From Opposing Arguments 12/16/2018: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 We’re gonna go to first Timothy 6:20 turn away from improper worthless talk now who would want to disagree with that. May I entertain it let me give you an example of improper immoral. Profane talk. In 1840s the Supreme Court of the united states of America decided that blacks were not human beings. That they were just property could be bought and sold at will. Okay. How do you know that just is very immoral it it do unto others as you would have them do unto you we don’t want to be treated like that we shouldn’t treat anybody like that and why the church in any way shape or form would ever.

▶ 0:58 Even consider. Anybody being in slavery and any human being not being human is people that don’t really read their Bible God has made all nations out of what one blood. Hallelujah and he died for how many nations all of them and how many nations are represented up in heaven and Revelations all of them every kindred tribe tongue and nation see that’s just immoral. Horrible talk why even entertain it but people do today and churches do today worthless talk worthless talk is saying that homosexuals pedophiles those that want to have sex with kids. Alcoholics criminals are born that way so they’re justified doing what they do and we’re supposed to pay their medical and we’re supposed to pay all the fees that they rack up from their choice of bad behavior see they say they were born that way instead of a quiet.

▶ 2:13 You really acquire sin you weren’t born to sin you learn to do it in that right yes that’s saying our creator did not know what he was doing and yet churches accept that because it’s popular. So that’s improper talk and worthless talk but we’re gonna focus on opposing arguments. Conflicting arguments of what is falsely called science all right. Here I went to the secular science website and I got this picture and here is their statement this is their statement a secular science adjusts its views based on what’s observed and investigated all right faith talking about the Bible and the church.

▶ 3:09 They is the faith is that in the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved without any investigation you see they dreamed up their own definition of faith that is not the definition of faith definition of faith is a belief in God or doctrines of a religion or something doesn’t have to be a religion belief without any proof okay. Now. And we have churches that had believed crazy stuff like the catholics in 1 until 1992 that they agreed that the earth. Was not the center of the universe that the sun was because one of their pope said the earth was the center of the universe and popes are infallible you know give me a break yeah are you there and so the church does some weird thing I grew up to a an era in the church where if you want anything you have to believe for it and so you got to confess it so if you’re prayed for to be sick you got to believe and if you didn’t get healed it was because you didn’t believe and if you have any kind of negative confession or take medicine you know don’t have to go the doctor don’t have to take medicine you know then you don’t have faith so.

▶ 4:39 You’re not gonna get here and I I grew up through that looney stuff just you know Jesus said they that are sick need a what I mean the king of king said that folks do we have any right twisted in the scriptures like that and kids have died from parents withholding medicine and it still happens once or twice a year today but back there it happened a lot all right and people died because they wouldn’t go the doctor because of these faith preachers preaching. They died before their Time and so we do have weirdos in the church but that doesn’t make the rest of the church that way does it yeah but let’s look over here at science they adjust their views based on observed an investigation all right the Piltdown man was discovered in 1910 and these.

▶ 5:42 Are the bones that they built this man from this was in the London news in 1912 here is the Piltdown man constructed from these bones and boy don’t that sound mad science they really got it together they can figure out what a man looks like and how tall he is and all the rest from just a few bones wow and so. Until 19 and 53 this was taught in public schools and in public media in fact I remember it being taught all right the missing link science yeah well in 1953 some other scientists began to take a look at these bones they found they had been died to make it look like they were old they found the teeth were ground down on the jawbone to make it look like human teeth and anyway and other things were done to adjust it to make it look like and see science bases the missing link on a small brain compared to our brain today and so they had to get this cranial structure down.

▶ 7:08 All right they found out that some of the bones were from orangutan and a chimpanzee and some are just human bones and they verified it and you know they kept teaching that for several more years. Yeah now if science is so powerful their views and their investigation really missed it when you say do you know they did the same thing with Lucy have you ever heard of Lucy oh yeah that wound up being a fraud so science secular science don’t give me your baloney about you guys change your views you try to change everybody else’s view by distorting facts could that be an amen now. Global cooling they noticed the scientists did from 1940 to 1970 that the earth temperature went down and I lived through this one all right and so.

▶ 8:11 They started predicting the ice age and here it is Time magazine 1972 how to survive the coming ice age all right I mean they really hit this and everybody got on this panic thing about the ice age the glaciers were coming down and they said it was the smoke from the factories blocking the sun rays and the deforestation of the plants you know we’re causing all of this temperature to go down they had to reason then all of a sudden temperatures started going up and guess what yeah lobo are me now so tell me about their views now I’m gonna ask this question. First we’ll define science secular definition of science is the knowledge of the natural world through observation and investigation I submit to you that’s a knowledge of the spirit world also but the stewart world isn’t natural so you can’t use natural rules you got other use spiritual rules alright.

▶ 9:16 So the question is does scientific truth oppose reveal truth or the Bible we’re not going to talk about other religions we’re going to talk about our religion which comes from the Bible is that fair so does the Bible oppose. Scientific truth not false science but real science now in 500 bc our secular science today gives the Greeks credit for investigating and observing and coming to a conclusion that the earth is round okay and they brag about that science yeah all right but in 700 plus bc in Isaiah 40:22 he sits on the circle of the earth. Hundreds of years before Isaiah knew the earth was around so scientific truth does not oppose Bible truth does it okay let’s look at another one and.

▶ 10:20 1475 ad Copernicus credited was credited by secular science today for observing the earth was held up by nothing wow. That was you know just 500 years ago less than 500 years ago or so in 2000 bc Job. Said he hanged the earth upon nothing I. Mean the Bible truth spoke of this way before secular science figured it out but they would never believe the Bible so observed equals the Bible they’re the same in 1580 ad bernard credited by science for observing the water cycle 2000 bc Job again and 36:27 God makes small the drops of water they pour down rain according to the vapor there of which the clouds do drop back down and distill up on men well.

▶ 11:29 Look at that thirty five hundred years before secular science figured it out Job knew are you there and so did anybody the read read their Bible and believed it now and sixteen twenty ad Harvey was credited for observing the blood that the blood is necessary for life. 1500 bce Leviticus 17:11 the life of the flesh is in the blood again the Bible’s revealed truth it was equal to secular science physical proof. So we see there’s no opposition and I could use other examples between observed. Investigated truths and Bible truths that are.

▶ 12:22 Investigated and observed Bible truth is not a denial of observation and investigation truth but a confirmation just give it Time and you will find that science will come up to the Bible could have en amen yes. Now. God has a scientific method he invented it back in 3500 years ago in Deuteronomy 19:15 all manners how many matters all matters shall be established by two or three investigated. Eyewitnesses. Investigated observed a false witness found by investigation shall be punished with the punishment intended for the one falsely accused if you take someone to court and you lie about it they examine you find out there’s evidence isn’t there then you will be treated like you wanted that person to be treated boy that would reduce a lot of lawsuits win it yeah yeah so see they credit themselves for coming up with the scientific method but God came up with it.

▶ 13:39 Thousands of years ago and in first Thessalonians it says in 5:21 prove all things investigate and find out the truth about everything amen that’s how I got saved I got saved on the scientific method I found he said in church for a year listening and all this and finally I said well I’m gonna try you see if you know a formula you got to exercise it you can’t say it’s not real and still you investigate it experience it and when I went to that altar and that guy led me through the scriptures to repent of my sins showing me I was a sinner and I repented and all that then God forgave me and I told you before that load of sin lifted I didn’t even know and God came into my life we called that being born again okay but first Peter tells us that we’re born again of the word also so the more you get into the word the more you want grow.

▶ 14:38 Yeah born again means brought forth how many know you don’t want to stay a baby and I write you need to keep growing yes yes yes now. Let’s look at observation real quick here all right in second Kings 6:17 and Elijah and his servant woke up one morning and found that the enemy’s army was all around them to capture them and kill them and the servant got panicky and said master oh what we gonna do. He says our son Lord open his eyes and so the Lord opened his eyes and he saw these chariots all around the enemy that come to fight for Elijah and his servant they saw the spirit world going to the New Testament Jesus went up to the mountain and he was transfigured his fleshly body that would die was changed into his heavenly body right there bam now why did God do that because that’s those of us who are alive and remain our mortal.

▶ 15:51 Body decaying body is going to be changed into a immortal body just like that are you there. Aren’t you glad these illustrations are in the Bible yes. So James John and Peter saw Jesus transfigured transformed into his heavenly authority his heavenly being and this is where the Jesus only people just really messed this up all right. Was Jesus in the Old Testament at the right hand of the father yea we taught you that a year or so ago alright. But he came into a human body. Which could die so then Moses and Elijah appeared.

▶ 16:46 Now what a God do that to show you that people are alive in heaven like you’re gonna be alive in him are you there yes confirmation then see they had their eyes open to observe it and see it not just Jesus telling them they got to observe it and see it but remember the Bible says more blessed are they that believe that have not seen you don’t have to see anything for the power of the word to touch your life now we go over here to Luke 16 the rich man and the poor man Lazarus got to see hell and heaven and the space in between that no one can pass over they got to see it they observed it little late for the rich man then over here in 1st Corinthians 15:6 500 people at one Time saw the resurrected Christ and folks this pit here is it’s not the right picture the reason we will recognize Christ when we see him is the nell scarred hands the battered body the beaten body the scars and the from the thorns and the beard plucked out and him beaten and all that that’s the body that’s how we’re gonna know that’s the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world but we’d like to decorate Jesus and to his heavenly being.

▶ 18:18 But when we see him that’s how we’re gonna know him by that beaten body all right marred more than any man so 500 and then other people got to seem to so my point is this secular scientists weren’t there to observe and investigate these accounts of seeing the spirit world. They must use the Bible and other historical records. And believe me folks they weren’t there to see the big bang either. Yeah. Now. Continuing with the resurrection this is what it’s all about it’s all about life after death when they heard possible’s down there preaching then on and they preached Christ crucified and risen again and when they got to Christ being raised from the dead when they heard of the resurrection of the dead some mocked now that’s the secular scientists today they mark they laughed but they don’t investigate and they don’t observe seek God to observe and see these men were different men these men.

▶ 19:38 They didn’t drink they didn’t take drugs they weren’t high and all that they didn’t go out on their wives they didn’t abuse their kids these men were changed into the righteousness of the resurrected savior they could observe these men’s life not just the message they saw the lifestyle was different are you with me they saw that they had laid aside the religious messages and their religious ideas they saw this but they would not accept it and investigate it so they mocked it but some said we’ll hear you again we want to hear more we want to investigate more we want to see more I was like that took me a year God trying to draw me to him to finally do it all right I needed to hear more but certain ones believed and joined they united with Paul and followed Christ they had heard enough they had seen enough and they wanted this new creature that these apostles had through Jesus Christ in that beautiful alright so.

▶ 20:53 You got to understand this is in Acts 17. The news of the resurrection and the news of this Jesus and the news of this church in Jerusalem had spread throughout the known civilization at this Time so it isn’t like they never heard this stuff but will go back to Acts 4:1 when all this happened all right the secular priest you say preacher well you call him secular because the Sadducees did not believe in spirits they didn’t believe in angels they didn’t believe in life after death and they didn’t believe in the resurrection you see they believed in secular stuff non-spiritual secular is non spiritual. So these secular priests how can priests be secular it’s simple you’re there for the money in the position it’s not difficult to figure that out you’re not there to meet with God and know God the captain of the temple he was the one that headed up the enforcement officers in the temple he was probably the one that went to and when he was the one that went to arrest the apostles when they were caught preaching on Jesus in the garden he was there he’s seen the ear cut off and put back on those men fall when Jesus said I am and he’s seen all this are you with me and he was there at the crucifixion.

▶ 22:18 To make sure this guy died and the Sadducees the same thing they experienced all of this it was there right in front of him. But being grieved that they preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead they arrested them and put him in jail you see even though they heard they never investigated they never tried they never pursued to see if these things were true or not remember the berean church they were different because they pursued the scriptures does find out if what was preached to them was true or not. Amen. So. Even though these people had the experience of it all they rejected it so observation and investigation.

▶ 23:14 Didn’t do anything for them. They just rejected the apostles now remember again these apostles are new creatures and these apostles are doing signs and wonders I mean things are happening back there they have to reject everything but when your heart is for yourself you will reject Christ now. Opposers as the musicians come. Observed. And didn’t investigate for their evil deed and I’m saying that because in John 3 if you don’t believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you’re condemned already and it’s not because you don’t believe you’re condemned he goes on to say they won’t come to Christ so their deeds are exposed because their deeds are evil if you come to Christ guess what he’s going to expose you he’s gonna ask you to repent he’s gonna ask you to turn so it wasn’t just because they didn’t believe in Christ they were not they did not want to change their sinful lifestyle.

▶ 24:30 Romans 8:11 the spirit of him who raised from the dead is living in you did you hear that. That’s what we call being born again that’s spirit living in us that makes the difference and that’s just what the apostles offer them and physical. Appearance and physical being able to see their lifestyle. And. This same spirit will also give life to your mortal bodies. They that are born of the spirit are of the spirit they are born of the flesh are of the flesh and this spirit that dwells in you we’re not talking about the baptism of Holy Ghost we’re talking about that spirit of God that comes when you repent and ask Christ to come into your life amen the spirit lives in you and because it lives in you church you have.

▶ 25:27 This life this eternal life and you got to understand the Bible definition of eternal life. John 17:3 this is eternal life that you might know God and his son Jesus Christ. Wow. See that changes everything I can know them I can have a relationship I can encounter them I can experience them Jesus said if you obey my word me and my father will come and dwell in you the Jesus only have a problem with that me and my father will come and dwell in you yes he’s one God but you cannot separate the identities of the function of God in the flesh God the spirit in heaven and God the spirit of holy God one God three aspects.

▶ 26:32 And he lives in us folks and because he lives in us. We can change the behavior of this mortal body. If any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away all things have become new. And. That’s what I found when I got saved cry started drawing me to the site of right was I right totally when I got saved no I did a lot of things wrong still but God would convict me and especially when I got filled with the Holy Ghost that Holy Ghost is relentless the spirit of truth is relentless he is constantly nagging you don’t do this do that now get up and read your bibles pray don’t tell me you don’t have Time give me 15 minutes mm-hmm are you there.

▶ 27:31 They say and the question is are. We willing to repent from our sins and let God change us into a new creation that’s the question God is asking us today. The other question is do you know God and Jesus when is the last Time you experienced the presence of Jesus touching your life the presence of God touching your life because he said we can know them. Do they live in you have you obeyed the word of nuf for God and Jesus to come and dwell in you. Do you want to be made a new creature that’s the questions God is asking everyone and are you willing to investigate.

▶ 28:31 Seek God and experience knowing him and being changed old things passed away the right things are no old habits all sins always. Slowly removed and new ways coming into your life.
