Alright, let's go to the 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.899 second paragraph here for the Bible's argument. 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.279 Where it says they also claim hear me They also 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.340 claim that in as much as christ received life 00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:07.279 from his father He could not be co -eternal with 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.600 his father now i'm quoting from dr walter martin 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.460 and this is a Let me stop i'll make y 'all buy 00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.419 all books i'm going to tell y 'all to go out 00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:18.000 and buy this one too quoting from dr walter martin 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.460 a well -known and acknowledged bible scholar 00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:25.110 states Taking this text in its context. We readily 00:12:25.110 --> 00:12:29.970 see that it cannot mean that Christ derived eternal 00:12:29.970 --> 00:12:33.830 Existence from the father now, let's go to it 00:12:33.830 --> 00:12:37.350 open your Bible open your Bibles to John 1 and 00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:46.769 1 John 1 and 1 Charlotte if you have John 1 and 00:12:46.769 --> 00:12:48.710 1 just read that aloud for me. I know it says 00:12:48.710 --> 00:12:50.909 in the beginning was the word But we need to 00:12:50.909 --> 00:12:54.769 hear it from a place of authenticity. Let's hear 00:12:54.769 --> 00:12:56.950 it from the word of god read john one and one 00:12:56.950 --> 00:13:03.450 Yes Amen who eric you have the amplified right 00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:08.129 read that same portion from the amplify john 00:13:08.129 --> 00:13:15.690 one and one That's powerful now watch this look 00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:18.309 at look at how to argue this here go back again 00:13:18.309 --> 00:13:20.509 to that beginning of the paragraph They also 00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:22.490 claim in as much as christ received life from 00:13:22.490 --> 00:13:24.889 life rather from his father He could not be co 00:13:24.889 --> 00:13:27.110 -eternal with his father quoting from dr. Walden 00:13:27.110 --> 00:13:28.830 martin the well -known and acknowledged bible 00:13:28.830 --> 00:13:31.750 scholar states Taking this text in its context. 00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:34.309 We readily see that it cannot mean that christ 00:13:34.309 --> 00:13:38.610 derived eternal existence from the father john 00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:42.450 101 bears witness that the word Please underline 00:13:42.450 --> 00:13:45.149 this in your bible as well as well as his handout 00:13:45.149 --> 00:13:50.980 note what it has the word was God, this is important 00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:54.639 that you take note of this, that the word was, 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.100 now note, how many have King James, KJVs here? 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.840 If you note, your Bible should have a capital 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.720 W, amen? As you know, grammar, anytime it is 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.980 capitalized, it becomes person, amen? Understand 00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:16.159 what it's saying right here. The word, the capital 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:21.419 word, became, or the capital word rather, was 00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:25.539 God. Note the rest of it, end quote. Therefore, 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.799 eternity was inherent in his makeup. by nature 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.120 now let's explain that when he says inherently 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.220 the term or the supernatural was inherent by 00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:42.179 his nature note what he's talking about he's 00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:46.019 talking about the word was god why because if 00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.740 you read in the very next verse of your bible 00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:52.299 you'll read that the word did what read read 00:14:52.299 --> 00:14:56.779 verse number two charlotte The same was in the 00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:59.460 beginning with God now. This is again made it 00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:03.559 person read the next verse for me as well Stop 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.559 all things were made by him note when you go 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.279 back up to verse number one in your Bible it 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:15.820 has and the word was God note how it did not 00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:20.059 separate But it made it one it made him rather 00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:23.440 one note here the word of the Lord Note rather 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.299 the commentary and we'll go on a little further 00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:29.279 here in just a moment. It says The word was God 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.299 therefore eternity was inherent in his makeup 00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:39.940 by nature in other words eternity has no dimension 00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:43.919 as you and I have Eternity in this regard as 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.120 John one in one states. It's simple It just simply 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.940 meant that God was in the beginning now how many 00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:53.379 remember Genesis one? In the beginning was who 00:15:53.379 --> 00:15:58.080 oh, I see here John 1 and 1 says in the beginning 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.480 was what? And the word was what and then when 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.220 you read over into verse number 2 It says and 00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:08.600 all things were made by him yet If you go back 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.700 to Genesis 1 it says that God capital G created 00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:16.120 all things Anybody else have a different version? 00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:22.509 All right, let's keep going here then Okay The 00:16:22.509 --> 00:16:25.450 logical conclusion must be that the indwelling 00:16:25.450 --> 00:16:31.009 quote life end of quote of God of God the word 00:16:31.009 --> 00:16:37.409 Entered time in the form of the son of man His 00:16:37.409 --> 00:16:40.990 operation the father or and this operation the 00:16:40.990 --> 00:16:44.289 father through the agency of the Holy Spirit 00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:49.629 gave the son of man to have life in himself the 00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:54.970 same life that was eternally his as the Eternal 00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:57.870 Word now, this is what we need to get to look 00:16:57.870 --> 00:17:01.269 at the next content of this paragraph the term 00:17:01.269 --> 00:17:06.740 Equal here is another form of Isen which again 00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:11.079 denotes absolute sameness of nature. Now you 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.440 need to take another note of this even if you 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.740 have to underline the handout that I just gave 00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:18.599 you. When you're dealing with a Jehovah's Witness 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:24.259 you need to know this passage especially as it 00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:26.960 relates to the Trinity and the reason being and 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.119 please I need you to really grab this let your 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.799 mind stay focused here is because the word equal 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.200 is important Only be called not just because 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.759 but part because they try to use the word Equal 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.420 and make it mean something that it doesn't how 00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:44.299 many remember when I was teaching this some weeks 00:17:44.299 --> 00:17:47.019 ago I can't remember what the word was. Oh, I 00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:48.859 know what it was. It has something to do with 00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:54.180 mystery and and secret In their article and in 00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:58.359 their encyclopedias, they, I mean, it's so crazy, 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.579 they were trying to tell you that there's a difference 00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:03.680 in the word. And if you listen at them, you'll 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.220 go, okay, there's a difference, until you go 00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:08.880 to a dictionary. Once you go to a dictionary, 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.140 it kills the argument because, you know, you 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.500 want to be able to say. Why don't they even think 00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:16.779 at least to go to the dictionary? Let me tell 00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:21.359 you why when a person is operating in error They 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.000 have to continue to cover themselves Their hope 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.859 is that some of you won't look up the words if 00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:32.299 you don't look it up How will you know the bible 00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:38.140 says? study to show Yourself look at somebody 00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:41.759 and say don't show me show yourself The bible 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:46.450 says study Pardon me to show yourself approved 00:18:46.450 --> 00:18:50.829 a workmen Shouldn't be ashamed who knows how 00:18:50.829 --> 00:18:55.230 to rightly divide the Word of God If you don't 00:18:55.230 --> 00:18:57.690 study there was an there's a saying if you want 00:18:57.690 --> 00:19:00.950 to hide something from a person put it in a book 00:19:00.950 --> 00:19:05.210 How many know your kids by nature if you don't 00:19:05.210 --> 00:19:07.569 train them to be different will automatically 00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:11.099 be lazy.

Can you help me out? 00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:29.759 Now if you train them to be independent, you 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.759 know as they get older They'll always have that 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.680 spirit of independent, you know upon them But 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.900 if not by nature by nature all of us hear me 00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:45.059 all of us are couch potatoes by nature if we 00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:48.299 could and America proves this all the time if 00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:51.839 we could we would all lose weight by taking a 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.180 pill I Can't hear nobody Why are y 'all acting 00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:58.940 like y 'all?

It's simple They're not what they, you 00:22:58.990 --> 00:23:01.230 know, they see something that they're not, and 00:23:01.230 --> 00:23:03.789 because they're not, it's easy to become critical. 00:23:04.609 --> 00:23:07.250 So you look and you dog somebody else out. Hear 00:23:07.250 --> 00:23:10.329 me? All you want to be Pharisees is so easy to 00:23:10.329 --> 00:23:14.390 dog folk out when you ain't in control. It's 00:23:14.390 --> 00:23:16.869 so easy to sit back on that bench and look at 00:23:16.869 --> 00:23:18.869 what's going on from this pulpit But I love it 00:23:18.869 --> 00:23:20.650 when prophets here, but and I'm getting used 00:23:20.650 --> 00:23:22.809 to brother building sister Gary in the red But 00:23:22.809 --> 00:23:25.490 oh, let me tell you something you're making this 00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:27.990 a personal issue God is never going to allow 00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:30.089 this ministry to ever be personal Some of you 00:23:30.089 --> 00:23:32.690 have ministry in you and I cannot as a pastor 00:23:32.690 --> 00:23:35.250 Sit here and know you got ministry in you and 00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:37.509 never give you an opportunity to sharpen your 00:23:37.509 --> 00:23:39.769 skill Oh God, I got an answer to God for that. 00:23:39.769 --> 00:23:41.869 You ain't getting me in trouble with God. No, 00:23:41.869 --> 00:23:44.369 I want to live a long time as long as he's going 00:23:44.369 --> 00:23:47.089 to let me live my job is to make sure you built 00:23:47.089 --> 00:23:49.710 up now you may not like the way that I do it 00:23:49.710 --> 00:23:53.990 but as long as I'm in charge under him you don't 00:23:53.990 --> 00:23:56.250 have a choice in the matter so when you get an 00:23:56.250 --> 00:23:59.029 attitude it's not with the person you're looking 00:23:59.029 --> 00:24:03.309 at your attitude is with yourself touch yourself 00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:07.049 and say I got to get over you oh touch yourself 00:24:07.049 --> 00:24:10.019 again say I got to get over myself When you don't 00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:11.579 like what's going on, you know what you need 00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:16.579 to do check yourself That was for two y 'all. 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.559 All right, come on Hear the word. Let's go into 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.460 it here. Now the term equal here is another form 00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:26.480 of Isen which again denotes and please underscore 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.359 this Absolute sameness of nature now, why are 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.619 we getting into this now? Let me just try to 00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:35.119 teach you something here. Okay, just in the adventure 00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.549 not catching up if you go back to your handout 00:24:38.549 --> 00:24:42.309 on the trinity now now put a finger on the term 00:24:42.309 --> 00:24:44.710 equal here's another form keep keep your finger 00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:49.589 there if you go back to what I quoted I quoted 00:24:49.589 --> 00:24:52.650 from the Jehovah's Witness when I quoted from 00:24:52.650 --> 00:24:55.509 them note what happened here they're the one 00:24:55.509 --> 00:24:58.609 that says let alone that equal is with Jehovah 00:24:58.609 --> 00:25:02.349 in other words it's not however the original 00:25:02.349 --> 00:25:05.069 language says something different let me teach 00:25:05.069 --> 00:25:08.420 you something to do here take a pen or pencil, 00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:11.880 whatever you're writing with, begin to make footnotes. 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.500 Right here on the Bible's argument, pardon me, 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.339 which says the term equal here is another form 00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:20.140 of ison, which again denotes absolute sameness 00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:23.559 of nature, write some sort of, develop some sort 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.819 of number system. For instance, put the number 00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:31.259 1A there. Once you do that, you can put like 00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:35.819 1A dot R, which would mean 1A reference. Anytime 00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:38.460 you see an R or whatever, whatever method you 00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:40.359 develop for yourself, I'm just giving you an 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.339 example. Whatever method you see, if you put 00:25:43.339 --> 00:25:46.660 1AR, that means that you have another footnote 00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:49.720 that you need to review, R for review. You can 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.579 then go back and look at what else did you do 00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:55.839 a 1AR with. And if you go back to your Jehovah's 00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.920 Witness sheet, you can put then where their argument 00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.380 is, and then you can put... You can put then 00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:05.380 where the Bible's argument gives you the answer 00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:08.420 and that way Oh God, you talk about having your 00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:11.400 own footnote You develop your own book before 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.819 you even know it and you'll know exactly what 00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:15.640 you're thinking when you're thinking and anytime 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:17.920 you reach your own notes You can go back and 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.660 go there's something else to this note in another 00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:23.359 place, and you can reference it. So develop for 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.059 yourself some sort of way that you will have 00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:28.339 some notes here. Let's go a little further, a 00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:30.400 little quicker here. It says the term equal here 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.059 is another form of isin, which again denotes 00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:36.140 absolute sameness of nature, that the reference, 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:41.059 John 5 .26 and 6 .57, pertain to his earthly 00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:45.000 existence. Please underline that. During which 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:51.119 he emptied himself to become as one of us after 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.220 all Jesus claimed his Jehovahistic identity John 00:26:56.220 --> 00:27:01.579 8 58 when he claimed to be God according to Exodus 00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:04.980 3 and 14 and let me just prove that to you real 00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:09.839 quick Shannon get for me John 8 and 58 John 8 00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:16.410 and 58 also Scott get for me Exodus 3 and 14 00:27:16.410 --> 00:27:22.190 John 8 and 58 and then Exodus 3 14 now remember 00:27:22.190 --> 00:27:25.069 before I have them to read this the reason that 00:27:25.069 --> 00:27:28.109 we're taking this position is Because this is 00:27:28.109 --> 00:27:30.630 the position that the Jehovah's Witness argued 00:27:30.630 --> 00:27:34.529 from they say this is not the case How then will 00:27:34.529 --> 00:27:39.250 we know it's the case? Because we have the Bible 00:27:39.250 --> 00:27:43.589 making its own case Their case is predicated 00:27:43.589 --> 00:27:48.109 upon their ideas. Our case is predicated upon 00:27:48.109 --> 00:27:50.869 what the book already said. Their case has to 00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:53.349 then come and counter the case that's already 00:27:53.349 --> 00:27:56.009 been stated. Now, isn't that strange? That's 00:27:56.009 --> 00:27:58.450 like someone coming to your house telling you, 00:27:58.450 --> 00:28:01.130 because I don't like your house, I'm gonna change 00:28:01.130 --> 00:28:03.950 your house for you. I don't like your apartment, 00:28:04.069 --> 00:28:05.990 I'm changing your apartment. When I ride in your 00:28:05.990 --> 00:28:07.549 car and you pick me up, I don't like your car, 00:28:07.670 --> 00:28:10.339 I'm changing your car. Don't like your clothes 00:28:10.339 --> 00:28:12.920 that you buy I'm changing your clothes for you. 00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.220 How many know you wouldn't tolerate that real 00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:17.960 fast. Amen Well, this is what they've done. So 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.940 now watch this read for me read for me Shannon 00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:29.220 John 8 and 58 Oh God what a killer do you see 00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:32.349 in your scripture where Jesus says And he said 00:28:32.349 --> 00:28:34.910 unto them now remember who he's talking to he's 00:28:34.910 --> 00:28:37.210 talking to the pharisees of the day He had just 00:28:37.210 --> 00:28:39.349 called him if you want to get a good laugh read 00:28:39.349 --> 00:28:41.589 that whole chapter I used to read this thing 00:28:41.589 --> 00:28:44.190 and just fall out laughing all the time He walked 00:28:44.190 --> 00:28:46.490 around jesus began to heal some folk and they 00:28:46.490 --> 00:28:48.670 said oh you do this stuff by the devil He said 00:28:48.670 --> 00:28:50.690 no, I don't do it by the devil How can a kingdom 00:28:50.690 --> 00:28:53.170 be divided if it do something like that? It's 00:28:53.170 --> 00:28:55.269 actually another another version and then he 00:28:55.269 --> 00:28:58.250 comes over He says I do these things by god and 00:28:58.250 --> 00:29:00.950 they were saying oh you can be of god and then 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.539 And they says, well, how dare you call us the 00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:06.019 devil? We're the children of Abraham. And he 00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:07.960 says, no, if you were children of Abraham, you 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:09.640 would know the things that I was already doing. 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.579 He said, you're the children of your father, 00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:14.779 the devil. And then he goes on to say, here in 00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:18.259 John 8 58, they say, how can you say that? Because 00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:20.900 Jesus then announced that, you know, before Abraham 00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:23.319 was, what does he say? He says, before Abraham 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:28.240 was, look at your word. Is that capital I? That 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.970 is what is attributed to Abraham. God, how do 00:29:31.970 --> 00:29:35.509 we know it read exodus for me scott? And god 00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:39.730 said unto moses I know hold it stop is that I 00:29:39.730 --> 00:29:43.890 am capital I am Here is the same language again 00:29:43.890 --> 00:29:51.490 and god said unto moses. What I am that I am 00:29:51.490 --> 00:29:54.509 Note what he's saying in exodus when he was telling 00:29:54.509 --> 00:29:56.970 mo Hey mo go up and shake up the kingdom over 00:29:56.970 --> 00:29:58.950 there in pharaoh's house. Well, you know, that's 00:29:58.950 --> 00:30:03.109 a Detroit's contemporary version 102 I want you 00:30:03.109 --> 00:30:05.690 to go and I want you to shake it up Moses asked 00:30:05.690 --> 00:30:08.690 a question Now if you understand Hebrew you understand 00:30:08.690 --> 00:30:10.809 this real well The reason that Moses asked that 00:30:10.809 --> 00:30:12.170 real question was because there were a whole 00:30:12.170 --> 00:30:15.529 lot of gods So Moses didn't know who he was talking 00:30:15.529 --> 00:30:19.069 to so when God said to him Jehovah God said to 00:30:19.069 --> 00:30:22.109 him Go now just go tell him I am that I am now 00:30:22.109 --> 00:30:23.490 There are some scholars that would teach and 00:30:23.490 --> 00:30:25.710 I'm not necessarily opposed to it There are some 00:30:25.710 --> 00:30:28.269 scholars that teach the reason that he says I 00:30:28.269 --> 00:30:31.269 am was because the Hebrew tongue They would not 00:30:31.269 --> 00:30:34.190 allow themselves to ever use the word God So 00:30:34.190 --> 00:30:35.890 they would just give it like a generic thing. 00:30:36.049 --> 00:30:38.170 They knew that God was so holy They wouldn't 00:30:38.170 --> 00:30:41.009 even touch it like no just just tell him I am 00:30:41.009 --> 00:30:43.869 but the literal translation is very very clear 00:30:43.869 --> 00:30:48.309 God says to Moses if they ask you who sent you 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:53.200 Tell him I am what he was really saying is I'll 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.740 be Whatever you need me to be. I got the whole 00:30:57.740 --> 00:31:00.900 thing covered. So if you need resource, I'm out 00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:04.980 shadow If you need a banner to go before you 00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:08.240 and defeat your enemies, I'm Jehovah. I'm I am 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.980 me see Whatever more you need. I'm going to be 00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:17.559 it just tell them I am In other words, there's 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.519 no God above me and there's no God, and this 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:24.160 is important to note, and there's no God beneath 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:28.160 me. There are no other gods except for me. God 00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:31.039 says every other God you must carry about on 00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:35.099 your shoulders or on some sort of plaque. And 00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:37.200 you gotta, he says, matter of fact, you gotta 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.900 go to the tree and you gotta carve your God out 00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:41.839 of the tree. But remember, I'm the God that made 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:46.500 the tree. Now why is this important because the 00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:48.859 Jehovah's Witness now going back to the argument 00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:53.180 the Jehovah's Witness says in John 1 and 1 that 00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:59.660 God Small G was made by the Big G Here's here's 00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:04.400 another way to argue them if if if in their New 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.759 World Translation They use the word God with 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:11.619 a small G. Does that not denote there's another 00:32:11.619 --> 00:32:15.339 God Are you following me? How about in the Ten 00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:18.220 Commandments, one of the commandments, thou shalt 00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:21.920 have no other God beside me. Don't make any. 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.440 I'm it. If their argument is correct, we now 00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:30.940 have a second God made by the same God that said 00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:34.619 he would have no other gods before him. I hope 00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:36.240 y 'all caught that. How many of y 'all really 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.900 caught that? Did you catch the argument? How 00:32:38.900 --> 00:32:42.819 can you have two gods? Hope y 'all are remembering 00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:44.980 the other lesson. I taught y 'all in apostolic 00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:47.059 or oneness Pentecostal How many remember when 00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:49.039 I dealt with you about the water baptism issue 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:51.400 and how they themselves hold on to the fact that 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.079 there's only one God And that's why you got to 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:55.279 baptize. I heard this Oh God, forgive me almost 00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.259 said her name this time. I learned her name I 00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:59.079 watched on TV for a few minutes. God forgive 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:03.700 me. She's my comic view. She's my BET I turn 00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:06.319 her on and this light she just tickles me to 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.299 death. That's your auntie, right Shanae? No, 00:33:08.380 --> 00:33:12.700 it's not. I'm sorry this I mean There is this 00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:16.339 lady that comes on and I get the biggest kick 00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:19.680 I mean, she's sitting up there and she's talking 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:24.339 to herself She'll be talking and uh, and I feel 00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:26.019 such and said go ahead and preach. You know, 00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.960 you preaching at work I'm looking like who's 00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:33.339 she talking to? Wow and I heard her today she 00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:35.619 was trying to make a point even about being baptized 00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:38.819 in Jesus name only and then she said I was part 00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:41.400 of a Baptist church and I I know which Baptist 00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:44.220 church she was part of brother Eric and she said 00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:46.619 that she was part of this Baptist church and 00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:49.220 she said she got nothing and I thought you crazy 00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:51.099 you had to get something she said well, I wouldn't 00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:53.460 even say there because when I was baptized they 00:33:53.460 --> 00:33:55.220 baptized me in the name of the Father Son of 00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:57.019 the Holy Ghost and then she went on to say this 00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:59.559 she said but if you got her if you understood 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.579 you would look at what Jesus said in Matthew 00:34:01.579 --> 00:34:05.700 28 where he says baptizing them in the name so 00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:12.449 now she wants to say she wants to teach That 00:34:12.449 --> 00:34:20.050 that Jehovah's God Neeson That his name is Jesus 00:34:20.050 --> 00:34:24.510 That ain't all of his name. He has a lot of personalities 00:34:24.510 --> 00:34:28.389 that he manifest himself in So it's the same 00:34:28.389 --> 00:34:31.090 argument that the Jehovah's Witness used now. 00:34:31.090 --> 00:34:33.679 Let me tell you why You know why the oneness 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.539 Pentecostals and JWs argue the same thing? Go 00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:39.500 back to the front of your paper. They all learn, 00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:41.719 remember what I taught you about the head? They 00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:46.300 all learn from the same head, Arius. When they 00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:51.780 learn from Arius, here is the reality. Arius 00:34:51.780 --> 00:34:56.400 was kicked out of the church. Isn't it ironic 00:34:56.400 --> 00:35:01.139 that when you find the head, you find the answer? 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.960 Find out what a person believes from their foundation 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.639 and you will find out how to defeat them every 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:11.579 time Just stay with the head when they try to 00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:13.920 get away go back to the head. They try to well 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.059 We don't believe that anymore. Yeah, but your 00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:19.699 head your head made this now Yeah, but we don't 00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:22.280 preach that anymore. Well, oh then are you denouncing 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.949 your head? Because if you're denouncing your 00:35:24.949 --> 00:35:27.510 top that simply means that that you got to get 00:35:27.510 --> 00:35:29.769 rid of everything you believe and Develop something 00:35:29.769 --> 00:35:32.309 new because your foundation is always on the 00:35:32.309 --> 00:35:38.010 top. I Hope y 'all caught that All right So Jesus 00:35:38.010 --> 00:35:42.789 said That before Abraham was he repeated Exodus. 00:35:42.789 --> 00:35:46.869 I am Wow Jehovah's Witness say something totally 00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:48.719 different. All right Let's go to the next one. 00:35:48.820 --> 00:35:50.619 Let me hurry up here May be able to finish all 00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:53.539 of this part on this evening part of the watchtowers 00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:57.820 lies are found on page 22 of their own Oracle, 00:35:58.099 --> 00:36:00.480 this is notice. I put the word Russell I think 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.039 I couldn't help myself the Russellite Oracle 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:07.300 Declares Paul makes clear now. This is important. 00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:09.860 Please look at me one more time Note what they 00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:14.000 do. They read you a scripture and they interpret 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:18.079 it for you assuming you ain't gonna look at it 00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:21.480 i told you before the statistic jehovah's witnesses 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:26.179 are made up of ex christians i'm sad to report 00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:29.039 this i'm not picking on any reformation but they 00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:33.559 are made up primarily of ex baptist folk okay 00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:38.079 i'll back why are you always picking on the baptist 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:41.030 i'm not i'm just giving you the facts Part of 00:36:41.030 --> 00:36:43.130 the watchtower lies are found on page 22 the 00:36:43.130 --> 00:36:45.710 Russellite Oracle declares Paul makes clear that 00:36:45.710 --> 00:36:49.869 Christ Jesus in his pre -human form was not equal 00:36:49.869 --> 00:36:52.530 to his father Philippians 2 1 through 11 in the 00:36:52.530 --> 00:36:55.809 New World's translation however the biblical 00:36:55.809 --> 00:36:59.670 argument makes that statement absolutely ridiculous 00:36:59.670 --> 00:37:07.329 Paul never mentions Christ being ambitious to 00:37:07.329 --> 00:37:12.590 attain anything at all or his lack of ambition 00:37:12.590 --> 00:37:17.349 since there is no Greek term that can be translated 00:37:17.349 --> 00:37:21.750 ambition by the way the JW themselves do not 00:37:21.750 --> 00:37:24.909 use the word ambition in their own translations 00:37:24.909 --> 00:37:28.530 even though they introduce it in all of their 00:37:28.530 --> 00:37:32.610 articles did you catch that all of their articles 00:37:32.610 --> 00:37:35.309 that they put out They introduced the word ambition. 00:37:35.570 --> 00:37:38.469 You go and study the New World Translation. They 00:37:38.469 --> 00:37:41.110 never mentioned the word ambition. Can you figure 00:37:41.110 --> 00:37:44.510 out why? That means that they would have a source 00:37:44.510 --> 00:37:47.110 that you could go on. There is no Greek here. 00:37:47.670 --> 00:37:49.050 But you know what they do when they come up with 00:37:49.050 --> 00:37:51.389 those papers on your doors? Half of the folks 00:37:51.389 --> 00:37:54.329 say, yeah, that's in the Bible. And you think 00:37:54.329 --> 00:37:56.010 it's something in the scripture until you read 00:37:56.010 --> 00:37:58.349 your own Bible. And you realize that ain't in 00:37:58.349 --> 00:38:02.889 the Bible. They are counting on you not to know 00:38:02.889 --> 00:38:06.829 your word Sound familiar how many remember when 00:38:06.829 --> 00:38:10.289 Jesus was tempted in the wilderness? How did 00:38:10.289 --> 00:38:15.250 he defeat Satan? the word every time Satan came 00:38:15.250 --> 00:38:19.550 he said wait it is Written Satan came another 00:38:19.550 --> 00:38:21.170 way. What did he say? He didn't stop and say 00:38:21.170 --> 00:38:22.929 let me go on another fast and I'll figure out 00:38:22.929 --> 00:38:24.869 what it is Let me go and ask my pastor. Let me 00:38:24.869 --> 00:38:27.550 go ask the prophet. He said no, no, no, no, it's 00:38:27.550 --> 00:38:30.019 written This is how we're going to defeat them 00:38:30.019 --> 00:38:33.320 now the new world's translation says it one way 00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:38.500 let me have Philippians 2 1 through 11 brother 00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:41.340 bill get that for me Philippians 2 very important 00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:45.780 scripture Philippians 2 1 through 11 how many 00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:48.679 have it I want y 'all to read this together because 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:50.659 you need to hear yourself saying this and let 00:38:50.659 --> 00:38:52.480 me teach you something just something I learned 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:54.019 through the years it may be work for you may 00:38:54.019 --> 00:38:56.579 not but it'll bless you if perhaps if you apply 00:38:56.579 --> 00:39:00.000 it the Bible says that faith comes by hearing 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.840 and hearing pardon me the word of God let me 00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:09.820 say it again faith come by hearing and hearing 00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:13.000 the word of God let me teach you a little way 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:18.159 to hear the word of God read it aloud it will 00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:21.019 be totally different than you reading silent 00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:24.039 a little something I learned by the spirit years 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.159 ago Read the word aloud, even if it's under your 00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.000 breath, read it aloud. And when you hear your 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.320 audit, when it comes out, goes through your audit 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:34.719 ear, inward, you will hear something you never 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:36.639 heard before.

Anybody ever hear themselves 00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:46.579 on cassette tape? No, I just heard someone say, 00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:50.059 yeah. You know why? You didn't realize you sound 00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:52.329 like that. and when you hear yourself you go 00:39:52.329 --> 00:39:56.269 oh no the blood the blood the blood of Jesus 00:39:56.269 --> 00:39:58.989 Christ Satan the Lord rebuke you when I first 00:39:58.989 --> 00:40:01.449 heard myself preach on tape I didn't even know 00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:05.389 it was me I heard I went who is that and I wasn't 00:40:05.389 --> 00:40:09.070 very fond of the voice it's just true and I thought 00:40:09.070 --> 00:40:12.739 I don't like me I had issues. I laid myself on 00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:14.780 my own couch and begin to analyze myself. Anyway, 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:18.139 yeah, that's another issue here. All right Philippians 00:40:18.139 --> 00:40:21.840 2 Y 'all a little slow this thing. Are y 'all 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.440 okay? I need y 'all need to go on a fast.

Let's all read that together read 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.920 Y 'all talking in tongues stop Philippians 2 00:40:43.920 --> 00:41:11.500 beginning at verse number one read Good Being 00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:18.199 what? Say it again in the what? Read He was what 00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.099 it did your Bible have equal? That's not what 00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:23.739 the Jehovah's Witness says read that from again 00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:26.480 from the top on that one portion though being 00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:37.920 in the form Stop he took upon upon himself the 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.510 form if you take upon yourself the form of something, 00:41:41.650 --> 00:41:45.030 it means you must condescend from where you are 00:41:45.030 --> 00:41:47.210 to get to what you're trying to get to. Does 00:41:47.210 --> 00:41:49.590 that make sense to you? If you're trying to get 00:41:49.590 --> 00:41:52.210 from one place to another and you have to take 00:41:52.210 --> 00:41:55.030 on the form of something, that means, hear me, 00:41:55.110 --> 00:41:57.550 this is clear, you got to catch this, that means 00:41:57.550 --> 00:42:01.050 that if you must take on the form, you are not 00:42:01.050 --> 00:42:04.769 what you're taking the form of. If I take the 00:42:04.769 --> 00:42:08.909 form of a Shaquille O 'Neal, guess what? I'm 00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:16.329 not Shaquille O 'Neal. Now I play like him.

The fact of the matter 00:42:23.409 --> 00:42:27.429 is, taking the form of something means that you 00:42:27.429 --> 00:42:29.469 are not what you're taking the form of. You don't 00:42:29.469 --> 00:42:31.369 need to take the form of something if you already 00:42:31.369 --> 00:42:34.369 that. How many of you know you know your name? 00:42:34.869 --> 00:42:36.230 How many know you ain't got to take the form 00:42:36.230 --> 00:42:39.539 of your name, you are who you are?

He gave it to 00:43:20.780 --> 00:43:24.039 Jesus why?

Now, let 00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:25.380 me show you something else that you may want 00:44:25.380 --> 00:44:28.320 to consider to do. When you're doing a study 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.179 like this in comparative religion, in the very 00:44:31.179 --> 00:44:33.820 beginning of your Bible, you may want to put, 00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:38.000 I don't know, JWs in the color of red. If you 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:39.940 do that, one thing, and this is just something 00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:41.860 I've learned that helps through the years, you 00:44:41.860 --> 00:44:44.670 can put JWs in red, Therefore every time you 00:44:44.670 --> 00:44:47.289 see something red in your scripture, you know 00:44:47.289 --> 00:44:50.230 that it pertains to the Jehovah's Witness So 00:44:50.230 --> 00:44:55.349 even in a case like this When they say that they 00:44:55.349 --> 00:44:58.090 you know that God never became equal or he wasn't 00:44:58.090 --> 00:45:00.570 equal to God Your scripture here right here in 00:45:00.570 --> 00:45:03.230 Philippians tells you black and white I mean 00:45:03.230 --> 00:45:05.389 you don't even need the Hebrew for this really 00:45:05.389 --> 00:45:07.230 you don't you don't need the Greek for this one 00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:10.730 Dear hearts, this is clear in the English. He 00:45:10.730 --> 00:45:15.900 was equal Write down you can write down JW in 00:45:15.900 --> 00:45:18.659 those places and again every time you see it 00:45:18.659 --> 00:45:20.760 You can reference now if you really want to get 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.579 into what's called an exhaustive study Every 00:45:23.579 --> 00:45:26.300 time you do something first take maybe a sheet 00:45:26.300 --> 00:45:29.380 of paper on that paper and this is you know It 00:45:29.380 --> 00:45:32.019 depends on how deep you want to get if if you 00:45:32.019 --> 00:45:33.739 if we're doing this study on Jehovah's Witness 00:45:33.739 --> 00:45:36.219 You can go back to all your notes you can write 00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:39.360 down every Bible verse that they argue that you 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.780 have an argument for on that Bible verse if you 00:45:42.780 --> 00:45:45.679 were to put for instance if on Philippians 2 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:47.800 you know that there are 10 other passages of 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.320 scripture that relate to Jehovah's Witness on 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.059 the side of your Bible where Philippians 2 is 00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:57.219 Put down other by or other pages that's in your 00:45:57.219 --> 00:46:00.400 Bible where you can also find issues concerning 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:03.860 JW that way if they take you to one you already 00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:08.119 know that all of on page 244 There's another 00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:10.519 reference point. Are you fine? Am I clear with 00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:12.340 that? It'll just be a blessing to you something 00:46:12.340 --> 00:46:15.119 that I've used for years Alright, let me go further 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:18.300 and quicker here as quick as I can. Alright the 00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:21.579 biblical argument makes that statement absolutely 00:46:21.579 --> 00:46:24.639 ridiculous. Paul never even mentions Christ being 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.539 ambition to attain anything at all or his lack 00:46:29.539 --> 00:46:32.000 of ambition. Since there is no Greek term that 00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.179 cannot be translated ambition, by the way, the 00:46:34.179 --> 00:46:36.239 JWs themselves do not use the word ambition in 00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:38.539 their own translations, even though they introduce 00:46:38.539 --> 00:46:42.860 it in their articles. Paul's entire theology 00:46:42.860 --> 00:46:47.599 states the opposite. Paul declares that Jesus 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:52.059 did not consider equality with God, something 00:46:52.059 --> 00:46:57.219 to be grasped after or robbed. That's what Paul's 00:46:57.219 --> 00:47:00.139 doctrine taught us. It didn't say that in crisis, 00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:03.519 that Christ did not consider equality with God, 00:47:03.619 --> 00:47:06.340 something to be sought after or robbed. It's 00:47:06.340 --> 00:47:08.300 the Greek word. I gave you the Greek word there. 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:14.829 Since he previously existed, as the eternal Word 00:47:14.829 --> 00:47:18.489 of God, John 1 and 1. Now note why I'm stating 00:47:18.489 --> 00:47:21.429 this, because you don't have to try to become 00:47:21.429 --> 00:47:24.250 something that you already are. Why would you 00:47:24.250 --> 00:47:27.050 have to have ambition, according to Jehovah's 00:47:27.050 --> 00:47:30.250 Witness, to become what you already say you are? 00:47:30.869 --> 00:47:33.849 Make any sense? You don't need to be, you know, 00:47:34.449 --> 00:47:37.320 come whoever you are. And be angry and trying 00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:40.679 to strive and be I'm just trying to be uh, you 00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:44.139 know Aubrey Shives I'm already Aubrey if I start 00:47:44.139 --> 00:47:46.199 trying to strive to be Aubrey Shives y 'all, 00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:48.900 please call the cookie truck I got some issues 00:47:48.900 --> 00:47:51.980 deep issues y 'all see me up here. I know who 00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:55.000 I am. I'm Aubrey Shives That's why when men Oh 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.320 God here I go. I didn't got off on a test when 00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.360 men have to raise their voice I'm the man of 00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.739 this house. You got an issue You didn't know 00:48:03.739 --> 00:48:07.730 that You raising your voice don't make you become 00:48:07.730 --> 00:48:12.050 any more than what you already are I'm not gonna 00:48:12.050 --> 00:48:16.829 tolerate it. I'm the man When you demand it goes 00:48:16.829 --> 00:48:19.750 without saying you ain't gonna tolerate it. Oh 00:48:19.750 --> 00:48:25.309 all the women said oh, oh It's a true saying 00:48:25.309 --> 00:48:30.650 All right, come on prior to last sheet prior 00:48:30.650 --> 00:48:35.909 to his incarnation John 1 and 14 He had no desire 00:48:35.909 --> 00:48:42.190 to strive for what was his by nature and inherited 00:48:42.190 --> 00:48:45.769 stop Where do we get it from the original word 00:48:45.769 --> 00:48:48.639 equal? Remember your definition how many took 00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:51.039 your definition last week the word well You can 00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.780 even go back to the second sheet here again the 00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:56.360 word definition or for equal is the Greek word. 00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:59.940 I said which again denotes absolute Sameness 00:48:59.940 --> 00:49:02.519 now let me tell you why that word absolute is 00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:05.139 there thank God for it that means that it's not 00:49:05.139 --> 00:49:08.039 relative Now, I better, I better deal with this. 00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:09.400 I better unfold this here, because I'm gonna, 00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:12.099 you gotta make sure you... If it means absolute 00:49:12.099 --> 00:49:15.380 sameness, that means that it can never be a question 00:49:15.380 --> 00:49:18.079 whether or not it's the same. See, when something 00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:20.900 is relative, you can go, well, maybe it is, maybe 00:49:20.900 --> 00:49:24.000 it ain't. Que sera sera. Whatever would be, would 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.679 be. Not in this here. In the Word of God, the 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:31.280 Greek word for equal means to be absolutely the 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:34.119 same. I hope some of you married folk just caught 00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:38.719 that. If you are the same Oh God, I don't see 00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:41.099 that for me. All right, come on. Let's let's 00:49:41.099 --> 00:49:46.199 go here his incarnation John 1 and 14 He had 00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:48.260 no.
