00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.639
Welcome to NECF sermons. Each message here is

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.660
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.939
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive

00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.460
right in. The reality of what we started teaching

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:27.820
is to point out that no apostle called Jesus

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:33.619
writes an instrument or agent of God or a God.

00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:39.359
While Jesus, the man Jesus is, of course, I think

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.320
we're going to teach that how Jesus is different

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.240
from the father, right? Because he came in the

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.539
body. Are we together? Because Jesus appeared

00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:51.659
in the body, right? And he had to function. And

00:00:51.659 --> 00:00:56.359
within the time he was on it, he was constrained.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.770
Are we together? Right? In essence, Jesus was

00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:05.129
constrained to a geographical location. Right?

00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:08.989
So, in that essence, it's different because the

00:01:08.989 --> 00:01:10.650
Father knows all things. He's everywhere. His

00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:12.989
mind is everywhere. But because Jesus was constrained

00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:16.230
in the body and that he could partake in the

00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:21.569
flesh, to partake in death, that is the man Jesus.

00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:26.030
Hebrews 1, Hebrews 2. So, what was being exalted

00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:32.019
is... The appearance of God in the body. And

00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:35.319
that is Jesus. Okay? That is what was being exalted

00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.859
in Hebrews 1. The appearance of God in the body.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.500
The man Jesus was the one being exalted in Hebrews

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:45.579
1. Because arguments may arise. And people may

00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:48.980
say, well, Jesus or the angels. And the writer

00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:52.209
of Hebrews had to put a mark there and say, Lo

00:01:52.209 --> 00:01:54.790
and behold, there is no comparison. He himself

00:01:54.790 --> 00:01:58.230
is God, but he appeared in the body. So there

00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:00.409
were constraints. There were things that he needed

00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:02.969
to do. He needed to eat. He needed to drink.

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:06.890
He needed to grow up, which is not same, right?

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:09.909
When it comes to the father who has the essence.

00:02:09.969 --> 00:02:14.129
So the manifestation of God on heads is who Christ

00:02:14.129 --> 00:02:19.270
is. We have not seen God, but we have seen Christ.

00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:23.479
Yes. So we continue and we've cleared the issue

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.919
of Michael the archangel very, very easily. Now

00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:31.759
the second one, the second one is the birth of

00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.759
Jesus Christ and resurrection. The explanation

00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.699
of the birth of Jesus Christ and resurrection

00:02:36.699 --> 00:02:42.340
was addressed or needs to be addressed. So they

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:45.509
argue. Right? Or they could not explain John

00:02:45.509 --> 00:02:47.729
chapter 1 verse 14. Let's go to John chapter

00:02:47.729 --> 00:02:49.870
1 verse 14. Just write it down. John chapter

00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:55.590
1 verse 14. Philippians 2, 6, 8. Additional scriptures

00:02:55.590 --> 00:03:01.729
to confirm incarnation. Philippians 2, 6 to 8.

00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:04.409
Please, let's hold on to the scriptures. You

00:03:04.409 --> 00:03:07.930
see these notes, don't lose it. Don't lose this

00:03:07.930 --> 00:03:09.909
note. Yes, the audio is there. Keep your notes

00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:13.270
the way you're writing it. Colossians 2, verse

00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:16.689
9. Add that to it. Colossians 2, verse 9. Stay

00:03:16.689 --> 00:03:18.889
in our media team. Stay in Philippians. So I'm

00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.289
calling Colossians 2, verse 9. Let us write.

00:03:21.370 --> 00:03:25.009
Colossians 2, verse 9. It's a who, being in the

00:03:25.009 --> 00:03:28.610
form of God, did not consider its robbery to

00:03:28.610 --> 00:03:33.270
be equal to God. Next. No, no, no. Just go to

00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:37.150
the next verse. Just 6 to 8. Philippians still.

00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:41.490
Okay. but made himself of no reputation, taking

00:03:41.490 --> 00:03:46.629
the form of a born servant and coming in the

00:03:46.629 --> 00:03:51.110
likeness of men. I may find in the appearance

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:55.289
of a man. You see, he humbled himself and became

00:03:55.289 --> 00:03:58.530
obedient to the points of death, even the death

00:03:58.530 --> 00:04:03.590
on the cross. It means that he was found in an

00:04:03.590 --> 00:04:06.409
appearance of a man, right? So that is incarnation.

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:12.039
Go to Colossians 2, let's see, 2, 9. For in him

00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:18.939
dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Okay?

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:24.120
So, it means that the fullness of God in appearance

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.980
is Christ's. The fullness of God in appearance

00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:34.680
in man is Christ's. Therefore, he is the son

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.100
of God. These are just additional scriptures.

00:04:36.569 --> 00:04:39.389
to talk about the incarnation. Therefore, he

00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:44.029
is God himself, fully God. Now, some argue that

00:04:44.029 --> 00:04:47.689
he was man, he was not God and all of that. These

00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:49.970
are kind of arguments, but we see that Christ

00:04:49.970 --> 00:04:54.829
is the one that shows us the character of God,

00:04:54.990 --> 00:04:58.149
right? Christ is the one that shows us the character.

00:04:58.230 --> 00:05:01.670
And that is why he's not by, you know, the hand,

00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:05.449
the face, the leg and all of that, but the character.

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.339
The name of God. Christ was the one that showed

00:05:09.339 --> 00:05:11.839
us the name of God. That's what we can see. The

00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.519
reputation of God. Who God is, right? Who God

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.740
is, is Christ. So, who God is can only be manifested

00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:25.259
through a body, right? So, they've written many

00:05:25.259 --> 00:05:28.220
assumptions about Christ, about God in the Old

00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:31.620
Testament. To address those assumptions about

00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:35.000
God, he made himself manifest and by that, we

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.009
know him. Now, the one about resurrection is

00:05:39.009 --> 00:05:43.850
something we would deal with. Let's go to Matthew.

00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:50.829
Let's go to 1 Corinthians first. That one is

00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:55.250
just direct. There's no story about it. Let's

00:05:55.250 --> 00:06:00.389
go to 1 Corinthians 15. Let's go to 1 Corinthians

00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:03.699
15. verse 35. This one, I'm just going to address

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:05.519
it quickly. I'm going to read it, address it

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.920
quickly, then I'll move to the next thing. Please,

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.480
let's, you know, be trusting God that as we go

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.920
out, we have the boldness to say this thing that

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.259
we are being taught, not just to know it, but

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:19.279
to say it. 1 Corinthians 15. Now, the conversation

00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:25.579
in 1 Corinthians, right, 15. Go to verse 12 first,

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.019
please. Go to verse 12 first. We have to build

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:30.980
the conversation, right? And we will see where

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:33.899
they stop in their own explanation. Now, he said,

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:37.639
now, if Christ be preached that he rose from

00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.879
the dead, how say some among you that there is

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.139
no resurrection of what? Of the dead. So, the

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:47.220
first conversation that led to what we'll discuss

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:50.779
in 35 is the fact that there was first an argument

00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:56.019
about resurrection. Verse 1 will say, I declare

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:59.040
unto you, verse 1, the gospel that I preach unto

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.379
you, which ye also received, and wherein ye stand,

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.639
by which ye are also saved, if ye keep in memory

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.360
what I preach to you, unless you have believed

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.759
in vain. For I delivered first of all that which

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.480
I also received, how Christ died for our sins,

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.459
according to the Scriptures, and he was buried,

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.060
and that he rose again the third day, according

00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:27.180
to the Scriptures, and that he was seen of Cephas,

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.439
then of the twelve. And that he was seen of above

00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.600
500 brethren at once. 500 people saw him. And

00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.279
of whom greater part remain in this present.

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:42.100
But some are falling asleep. After that he was

00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:46.699
seen of James, then of all the apostles. And

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:51.180
last of all, you see, finally, finally, he was

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:56.990
seen by me. Also of... As of one born out of

00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:59.509
due time, right? We know when he saw him, Christ

00:07:59.509 --> 00:08:01.170
had died, right? So he saw him in the revelation.

00:08:01.649 --> 00:08:04.709
And for I am the least of the apostles, that

00:08:04.709 --> 00:08:07.689
I'm not made to be called an apostle because

00:08:07.689 --> 00:08:09.970
I persecuted the church. But by the grace of

00:08:09.970 --> 00:08:12.709
God, I am what I am. And this grace which was

00:08:12.709 --> 00:08:14.709
bestowed unto me was not in vain, but I live

00:08:14.709 --> 00:08:17.170
but more abundantly than they all, yet not I,

00:08:17.269 --> 00:08:19.029
but the grace of God which is in me. Therefore,

00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:23.009
whether it is it were I or they, so we preach

00:08:23.009 --> 00:08:28.019
and so. We believe. So he believed. Now, if Christ

00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:30.560
be preached, right? It means that the resurrection

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.779
is part of the teaching, right? If Christ be

00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:36.700
preached, that he arose from the dead, how come

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:39.440
say some among you that there is no resurrection

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.799
of the dead? So there are people who don't believe

00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.500
in the resurrection of the dead. So that's the

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:45.940
first conversation. And he explained to them

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:48.100
that if there's no resurrection of the dead,

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:53.620
your fate is what? Is futile. Your fate is...

00:08:53.879 --> 00:09:05.419
Now you can go to verse 18. Verse 18. Verse 19.

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:23.549
It means that man. is gone. There's nothing for

00:09:23.549 --> 00:09:26.529
man. Which is one of the teachings that they

00:09:26.529 --> 00:09:29.210
say that, you know, after now, there is no eternal

00:09:29.210 --> 00:09:31.730
punishment. There is no eternal anything. In

00:09:31.730 --> 00:09:34.269
fact, one of the arguments that men and animals

00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:37.429
are almost the same. There's no difference in

00:09:37.429 --> 00:09:40.149
terms of the soul. That when the soul dies, it

00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:42.490
just disappears. There's nothing again. Right?

00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:46.330
These are kind of the arguments. So, but their

00:09:46.330 --> 00:09:48.850
emphasis here is that although they believe in

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:50.490
resurrection, We're going to see where their

00:09:50.490 --> 00:09:53.070
problem is. So here, Paul addressed that there

00:09:53.070 --> 00:09:56.330
is resurrection or otherwise, just forget the

00:09:56.330 --> 00:09:59.289
faith. Right? Just forget the faith if there's

00:09:59.289 --> 00:10:01.610
no resurrection. Now, after establishing resurrection,

00:10:01.889 --> 00:10:04.289
the second thing that was established, verse

00:10:04.289 --> 00:10:09.610
35, is the matter of which kind of body, which

00:10:09.610 --> 00:10:11.889
is where they miss it. So, after addressing the

00:10:11.889 --> 00:10:14.590
resurrection, the matter of the kind of body

00:10:14.590 --> 00:10:17.809
became an issue. And verse 35 says, but some

00:10:17.809 --> 00:10:21.549
men will say, How are the dead raised up? And

00:10:21.549 --> 00:10:25.529
with what body do they come? Is that a concern

00:10:25.529 --> 00:10:29.450
to you too? You can read 1 Corinthians 15. It

00:10:29.450 --> 00:10:32.090
gives you clarity. Now see, it's a doubtful.

00:10:32.690 --> 00:10:36.350
That which thou sowest, is that not quickened

00:10:36.350 --> 00:10:39.730
except it died? Right? Look at the illustration.

00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:43.029
Pay attention. The illustration said, when you

00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:48.090
put a seed on the ground, right? That seed would

00:10:48.090 --> 00:10:52.539
die. then it will come out with a new body. Right?

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.919
A new body. So, it means that there is a body

00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.899
of resurrection. So, when you put the seed on

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.519
the ground, it will come out. So, that which

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.220
showeth is quickened, except it die. Verse 37

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:10.740
says, And that which thou showeth, thou showeth

00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:13.379
not that body that shall be. You are not showing

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.500
the body that shall be. But bare grains, it may

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:20.100
chance of wheat. or of some other grains. So,

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:22.879
it means that if you put a seed down, it will

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.899
come out with another body. Not the same body,

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:28.460
right, in which you put it down. But God gave

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:33.940
it a body. Emphasis, body, as it has pleased

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:38.500
him. And to every seed, his own body. All flesh

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:40.440
is not like the same, but there is one, the kind

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.620
of the flesh of man, another flesh of the beast,

00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:44.740
another, so flesh of man, flesh of the beast,

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:48.210
flesh of the fish, another, the... verse 40,

00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:53.610
there are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial.

00:11:53.730 --> 00:11:56.629
But the glory of the celestial is one and the

00:11:56.629 --> 00:11:59.889
glory of the celestial is one and the glory of

00:11:59.889 --> 00:12:03.230
the terrestrial is another. There is one glory

00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:05.029
of the sun, one glory of the moon, another glory

00:12:05.029 --> 00:12:07.610
of the stars. For one star differed from another

00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:10.909
star in glory. So also is the resurrection of

00:12:10.909 --> 00:12:13.909
the dead. It is shown in corruption, a body.

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:19.700
It is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.399
It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness.

00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:27.700
It is raised in power. 44. It is sown in a natural

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:31.360
body. It is raised, what? A spiritual body. That

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.759
is a natural body and there is a natural body

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.299
and there's what? A spiritual body. Now, what

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:42.750
is their statement? Their statement is that Jesus

00:12:42.750 --> 00:12:47.330
did not rise with a body. He arose as a spirit.

00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:51.250
This is the argument, right? That Jesus never

00:12:51.250 --> 00:12:55.929
rose as a body. He nullified the existence of

00:12:55.929 --> 00:13:00.409
a spiritual body. But acknowledge that he rose

00:13:00.409 --> 00:13:04.870
as a spirit creature. A spirit creature that

00:13:04.870 --> 00:13:08.210
now used some bodies to appear to his brethren.

00:13:08.690 --> 00:13:13.309
So he was using some bodies. not his own supernatural

00:13:13.309 --> 00:13:17.330
spiritual body. Add the scriptures to it. John

00:13:17.330 --> 00:13:21.370
2, 19, 21. John 2, 19. Jesus said, I will destroy

00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:25.049
this temple and raise it up. It means that at

00:13:25.049 --> 00:13:29.789
resurrection, there was a body, right? Destroy

00:13:29.789 --> 00:13:32.809
this temple and in three days, I will raise it

00:13:32.809 --> 00:13:36.129
up. It means that the body, I will come out with

00:13:36.129 --> 00:13:39.529
a temple. I will not come out as a wind, as spirits.

00:13:40.250 --> 00:13:44.669
I will come out with a temple. So if body was

00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:48.509
not involved in what happened to Christ, right?

00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:51.269
If body was not involved in what happened to

00:13:51.269 --> 00:13:55.750
Christ, we will not, right, be able to partake

00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:58.350
in that bodily resurrection. But he said, I would

00:13:58.350 --> 00:14:03.929
raise it up again. Luke 24, verse 39. Evidence

00:14:03.929 --> 00:14:07.769
that he rose with the body. Luke 24, verse 39.

00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:13.149
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:17.429
Handle me and see. For a spirit does not have

00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:21.110
flesh and bones. This is clear, right? A spirit

00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:25.070
does not have flesh and bones. As you see, I

00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:28.830
have. He did not borrow anybody. He came out

00:14:28.830 --> 00:14:32.789
with his body. They could recognize him because

00:14:32.789 --> 00:14:35.269
it was his face, it was his hand. But that body

00:14:35.269 --> 00:14:38.409
has been translated to immortality. That's right.

00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:41.750
The corruption in that body was gone. The dishonor

00:14:41.750 --> 00:14:45.110
in that body was gone. The mortality in that

00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.909
body was gone. But yet, the body is there. Means

00:14:49.909 --> 00:14:53.450
it is a supernatural body. It is a supernatural

00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:56.269
body. Which we are going to partake in. Glory

00:14:56.269 --> 00:14:58.549
to God. We are going to partake in. We are going

00:14:58.549 --> 00:15:01.470
to have our bodies, right? A supernatural body

00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:04.549
at the resurrection. The last scripture. Okay,

00:15:04.610 --> 00:15:06.730
one more scripture after that. Matthew 28, 5

00:15:06.730 --> 00:15:11.450
to 6. Matthew 28, 5 -6 But the angel answered

00:15:11.450 --> 00:15:14.789
and said to the woman, Do not be afraid, for

00:15:14.789 --> 00:15:17.110
I know that you see Jesus who was crucified.

00:15:17.669 --> 00:15:21.070
He is not here for his reason, as he said. Come

00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:24.250
and see the place where he laid. Right? The place

00:15:24.250 --> 00:15:25.830
where he laid. Why would the angel tell them,

00:15:25.870 --> 00:15:28.870
come and see? He said, he is not here for his

00:15:28.870 --> 00:15:33.029
reason. It means that although that body was

00:15:33.029 --> 00:15:37.429
there, it was translated in the three days. And

00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:41.809
when on the third day that body came out. So,

00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:45.129
there is no evidence of decomposition on anything

00:15:45.129 --> 00:15:49.110
but a translation and having anybody. So, the

00:15:49.110 --> 00:15:52.129
tomb was empty. Right? Is that not the testimony

00:15:52.129 --> 00:15:55.830
of the faith? Right? That there is resurrection.

00:15:56.129 --> 00:16:00.070
So, if they say that Jesus came only in spirit,

00:16:00.250 --> 00:16:03.250
they have to identify where the body is. Right?

00:16:03.269 --> 00:16:06.049
They have to identify where the body is. So,

00:16:06.049 --> 00:16:08.950
this is One of the arguments. So, we have been

00:16:08.950 --> 00:16:11.409
able to explain many things concerning Christ.

00:16:11.529 --> 00:16:17.149
Now, if all of this concerning Christ is faulty,

00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.090
is it possible to say they have believed the

00:16:20.090 --> 00:16:23.990
right message? No. Anybody who believed that

00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:28.230
message has not believed the right message because

00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:32.029
you have misrepresented Christ in that teaching.

00:16:32.289 --> 00:16:34.809
Now, let's look for salvation. Let's go into...

00:16:35.049 --> 00:16:36.870
Let's touch upon the Holy Spirit a little bit,

00:16:36.909 --> 00:16:41.710
which is actually another aspect. Then after

00:16:41.710 --> 00:16:43.710
the Holy Spirit, we'll go to salvation, the understanding

00:16:43.710 --> 00:16:47.710
of salvation, which is quite modern, but we'll

00:16:47.710 --> 00:16:49.110
still talk about it. Now, the Holy Spirit is

00:16:49.110 --> 00:16:53.429
seen as an impersonal active force. And this

00:16:53.429 --> 00:16:56.090
is very, very, you know, means that he is not

00:16:56.090 --> 00:16:59.070
God. The Holy Spirit is seen as impersonal active

00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:01.990
force, meaning that he is not God, meaning that

00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:06.589
we do not have. We cannot possess that Spirit

00:17:06.589 --> 00:17:11.829
of God. The Holy Spirit is not something we have.

00:17:12.630 --> 00:17:15.549
It's just an active force moving up and down.

00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:19.569
So they reject the person, the being of the Holy

00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:22.450
Spirit. They reject the person, the being of

00:17:22.450 --> 00:17:26.230
the Holy Spirit. So it means that you can't say

00:17:26.230 --> 00:17:29.509
that the Holy Spirit speaks to you. So if you

00:17:29.509 --> 00:17:33.430
say that, you wouldn't align with what they are

00:17:33.430 --> 00:17:34.980
saying. So it means that the Holy Spirit does

00:17:34.980 --> 00:17:37.140
not speak. But we will check from the scriptures

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:41.099
what the Holy Spirit does. Okay? Does it speak

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:44.019
to the believer? So an active force that does

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:47.240
not speak that we cannot possess. Now, even the

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.980
Holy Ghost that works with us, the one that enables

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:54.119
us to do greater works, if that is an active

00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.380
force, then there's a big what? A big challenge.

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:59.839
So it means that we don't have the Holy Spirit.

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:04.420
Now, the Holy Spirit, the Bible says, Let's go

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:08.779
to Ephesians 1. Let's see. I will compare it.

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:10.220
I will tie it up to the next thing I'm going

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:13.920
to say. It's at verse 14, verse 13, Ephesians

00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.680
1. In whom ye trusted after ye heard the word

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.119
of truth, and the gospel of what? Salvation.

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:24.299
In whom also, after ye believed, ye were sealed

00:18:24.299 --> 00:18:28.859
with that Holy Spirit of promise. You were sealed.

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:31.980
It means the seal, you have it. You have him,

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.700
rather, the Holy Spirit. which is the earnest

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:38.299
of our inheritance until the redemption of the

00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:41.700
purchased possession, right? And the praise of

00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:44.720
his glory, the redemption of the body. So we

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.000
have the Holy Ghost until the redemption of the

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.619
body to the praise of the glory of God. We have

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:52.500
the Holy Ghost until the redemption of the body

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:54.160
to the praise of the Holy Ghost. So the Holy

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.180
Spirit is the seed of our salvation, right? So

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:59.819
that is one. We're going to come back to the

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:04.509
scriptures. Add this, Acts 13, 2. The Holy Spirit

00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:07.109
speaks, right? They were praying and the Holy

00:19:07.109 --> 00:19:11.849
Spirit said. So if someone is found in such teachings,

00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:14.809
it means that you cannot do greater works. You

00:19:14.809 --> 00:19:16.470
cannot pray in tongues. You cannot say you receive

00:19:16.470 --> 00:19:19.869
a word. You cannot say you have a leading if

00:19:19.869 --> 00:19:22.230
you are found in such teachings. But the Bible

00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:24.849
teaches us that we have a spirit, the spirit

00:19:24.849 --> 00:19:28.529
of God in us, as many as are led. And as the

00:19:28.529 --> 00:19:31.289
minister to the Lord, the Holy Spirit said, and

00:19:31.289 --> 00:19:34.299
I said this before, I said, It's not a wind that

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:36.779
came to say. The first time I said, it's not

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:39.460
a wind. So the Holy Spirit is a ministration

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:43.079
from someone in that meeting. So the Holy Spirit

00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.059
ministration is not a wind, it's not a trumpet,

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.680
it's not anything that is heard from somewhere.

00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:49.519
It is someone in that meeting, right? They receive

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.240
a leading that Barnabas and Paul are called for

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.339
a walk, send them to go to the walk. It's not

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:59.529
a sound, it's from a leading, right? Word of

00:19:59.529 --> 00:20:01.529
knowledge, word of wisdom, right? The prophetic,

00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:04.529
that is what is happening in that meeting. Talks

00:20:04.529 --> 00:20:06.230
and interpretation in that meeting, happening

00:20:06.230 --> 00:20:09.829
in that meeting. So, the Holy Spirit speaks through

00:20:09.829 --> 00:20:14.230
the believer because we have the Spirit of God

00:20:14.230 --> 00:20:20.690
in us. John 14, 26. The Holy Spirit, by the revelation,

00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:24.609
taught the apostles, right? Taught the apostles.

00:20:25.250 --> 00:20:27.740
But then up by the Holy Spirit, whom? The Father

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:30.000
will send in my name. He will teach you all things

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.740
and bring to you remembrance all the things that

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:35.380
I said to you. So the teachings of Christ was

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:39.920
made clear. Revelation to the apostles by the

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.359
Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit resides

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:46.700
in them. Resides in them. I'm not going to go

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:48.119
to the Old Testament. I'm just going to stay

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.720
in the New Testament. Yes, because if we go there,

00:20:50.819 --> 00:20:55.700
it should be more, you know. Now. 14, you can

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:59.960
put John 16, 13. You can put John 16, 13 as well.

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:03.259
The first Corinthians 2 of which Pastor Custin

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:06.740
would teach us that. So it means that if we hold

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:08.759
on to such doctrine, we just tell Pastor Custin

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.359
to wait that, you know, any other thing that

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.599
he's going to bring will not be able to build

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.880
on it because they said it's just a wind and

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.900
an active force. So they took out the person

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:22.400
of the Lord. Now you can see that it cannot be

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.849
faith because It means that salvation comes when

00:21:26.849 --> 00:21:29.809
the Spirit of God indwells a man. And if someone

00:21:29.809 --> 00:21:32.950
says that there is no Spirit of God but a force,

00:21:33.089 --> 00:21:35.910
therefore, the person is not saved. That is where

00:21:35.910 --> 00:21:38.069
I'm going. So, Sacristi, that's your answer.

00:21:38.549 --> 00:21:42.809
The person is not saved. If you say that the

00:21:42.809 --> 00:21:44.990
Spirit of God that indwells a man, that is the

00:21:44.990 --> 00:21:47.930
seal of salvation, that keeps you unto the redemption

00:21:47.930 --> 00:21:52.740
of the body, does not exist as... a spirit that

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:55.819
indwells a man, then you are not saved. That

00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:58.460
is the summary of it. It's impossible to be saved

00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:02.420
without having the Holy Spirit. So you cannot

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:04.779
say you are saved and you say you don't have

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:08.220
the Holy Spirit. So here we clear it. Usually

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:11.039
we should not go further at this point in time

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.559
because that states that it is not faith. We

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:15.599
should not go further. But we will go further

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.799
a little bit and touch, okay, now how are men

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.839
saved? Right? Romans 10. How are men saved? Romans

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.380
10. Just pick those scriptures. Then we'll pick

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:32.160
Ephesians. Romans 10. 6. But the righteousness

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.579
which is of the faith speaketh in this way. See

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:38.079
not in thy heart. Who shall ascend unto heaven

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.700
to bring Christ down? Or who shall descend to

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:43.680
the deep that is to bring Christ again from the

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.220
dead? But what saith thee? The word is in thee.

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.740
The word is nigh thee. Even in thy mouth and

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:53.279
thy heart, that is the word of faith which we

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.700
preach. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:59.099
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.680
that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt

00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.059
be saved. Right? Thou shalt be saved. Ephesians

00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:09.140
2, 8 -9. Ephesians 2, 8 -9. For by grace you

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.920
have been saved through faith, and that is not

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.220
of yourself. It is the gift of God. Now, several

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:15.880
scriptures, more scriptures. You can add Romans

00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.859
5, verse 1. Romans 5 verse 1 is very important.

00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.779
Romans 5 verse 1. Therefore, having been justified

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:27.119
by faith, we have peace with God through our

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.359
Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the organization states

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:35.700
that in addition to faith in Christ, you must

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:39.740
be faithful to the Watchtower organization. It

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:44.519
means that, right, that organization is where

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:49.549
Jesus is coming. to pick people, in quotes, that

00:23:49.549 --> 00:23:52.809
will live in paradise. Right? That is where Jesus

00:23:52.809 --> 00:23:55.309
is coming to pick. So, if you are in any other

00:23:55.309 --> 00:24:00.369
organization, you cannot be with Jesus. Acts

00:24:00.369 --> 00:24:03.569
chapter 4, verse 12. So, in the name of this

00:24:03.569 --> 00:24:05.509
organization, men will be saved. That's what

00:24:05.509 --> 00:24:09.410
it means. Nor there is salvation in any other,

00:24:09.569 --> 00:24:12.670
for there is no other name under heaven, given

00:24:12.670 --> 00:24:16.809
among men, that we might be saved. No other name,

00:24:16.990 --> 00:24:21.329
no other organization, no other conduct, no other

00:24:21.329 --> 00:24:26.670
reputation, no other activities of men by which

00:24:26.670 --> 00:24:31.750
we can be saved. So, the result of this is that

00:24:31.750 --> 00:24:35.150
they have an exclusionary practice. That is why

00:24:35.150 --> 00:24:38.230
when you see practices like that, it's very exclusionary,

00:24:38.230 --> 00:24:41.670
right? I mean, it's just within them, right?

00:24:41.710 --> 00:24:44.339
Within them, they don't interact with that. The

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.759
last one which, so we broke that. The last one

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:50.119
which we have to deal with is the return of Christ.

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:52.259
Return of Christ. Now, I'm not going to touch

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:55.019
on their eschatology because the foundation of

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:58.920
the whole theology is faulty. So there is no

00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:01.500
point talking about hell or heaven when salvation

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:05.319
itself is not there. So it's a way. But church,

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.559
as we are going in the cell meeting, please pay

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.779
attention to that cell meeting's teaching. The

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:12.259
teaching about hell, it will help us, especially

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:15.359
Hades and Sheol. Because in this organization's

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.319
teaching, they emphasize Hades. In fact, they

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:23.640
recognize only Hades and therefore deduct eternal

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.660
punishment or what will happen to man's separation.

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:29.819
Right? So, only Hades. So, pay attention so that

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:32.519
when you read things, you'll be sure of the Hades

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.440
we are talking about and what happens in Hades.

00:25:35.700 --> 00:25:38.539
So, let's see. The return of Christ. Because

00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:42.420
of the theology is related to prophecy. and working

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:45.579
with times and seasons, right? Because the theology

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:47.859
is related to working with prophecies and times

00:25:47.859 --> 00:25:52.480
and seasons, they put 1914 as the year that started

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.839
ushering the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:01.500
Now, as an historian and a student of international

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:03.660
relations, let me put it that way because we

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:06.579
are still learning. 1914, what happened in 1914?

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.140
1914 was when the World War I started, right?

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.960
So the rumors of war that we debunk in Matthew

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.299
24, we all remember the teachings in Matthew

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:22.160
24, right? How can the, how will these things

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:28.480
be? Show us the signs, right? The signs is 1914.

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:34.339
The signs of the end time is 1914, right? The

00:26:34.339 --> 00:26:36.960
signs of the end time. Now we can debunk this

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.599
by me teaching because 1914 did not give the

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:45.269
world. the grievous war. 1939 did much more disaster,

00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:49.049
right? So they said that the 1914 is when Jesus

00:26:49.049 --> 00:26:52.049
would come, right? He would start, the preparation

00:26:52.049 --> 00:26:54.150
started coming. And from there, we started having

00:26:54.150 --> 00:26:56.950
different predictions, right? We started having

00:26:56.950 --> 00:27:00.750
different predictions. Now, the last one of this

00:27:00.750 --> 00:27:03.509
return, so the return is attached to events happening

00:27:03.509 --> 00:27:06.710
in the world. Rather than the preaching of the

00:27:06.710 --> 00:27:09.630
gospel, The coming is argued to be attached,

00:27:09.670 --> 00:27:11.670
but we have thought that the coming of Christ

00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:14.349
is attached to what? The preaching of the gospel,

00:27:14.549 --> 00:27:17.430
okay? The coming of Christ is attached to the

00:27:17.430 --> 00:27:19.730
teaching and the preaching of the gospel, right?

00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:23.329
The bringing of many men into the kingdom, that

00:27:23.329 --> 00:27:26.650
is what draws the coming of Christ closer. We

00:27:26.650 --> 00:27:29.710
contribute to the coming of Christ by that, not

00:27:29.710 --> 00:27:33.049
the wars and rumors of wars and that we found

00:27:33.049 --> 00:27:36.849
in Matthew 24, no. So they use Matthew 24 a lot.

00:27:36.930 --> 00:27:38.930
So if you remember all the teachings in Matthew

00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:40.650
24, whatever you have jotted, please hold that

00:27:40.650 --> 00:27:43.410
very well. That will be very instrumental. Now,

00:27:43.410 --> 00:27:45.329
the last one about the return of Christ is that

00:27:45.329 --> 00:27:48.990
Christ will not come in a visible body. Now,

00:27:49.009 --> 00:27:50.970
most of what I'm saying, you know them. You have

00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:52.390
the scriptures. Now, who knows the scriptures

00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:56.190
that would quickly debunk this? Anybody? Know

00:27:56.190 --> 00:27:59.349
the scriptures? The argument that Christ will

00:27:59.349 --> 00:28:00.490
not come in a visible body. The scripture says

00:28:00.490 --> 00:28:02.809
that we will come, we will see him, right? So

00:28:02.809 --> 00:28:05.259
which scripture is that? 1 Thessalonians, right?

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:08.640
So let's go to 1 Thessalonians 4. 1 Thessalonians

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.720
4. You will see it there clearly. 1 Thessalonians

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:16.759
4. 1 Thessalonians 4, okay? I want to pick much

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.819
more verses. Before 16, I want to pick some other

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:22.700
verses. 1 Thessalonians 4. Now, let's see. Even

00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:24.680
here, we'll find much more about the resurrection.

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:29.799
1 Thessalonians 13. But I would not have you

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.740
to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:35.349
are asleep. that ye shall not, even as others

00:28:35.349 --> 00:28:37.809
which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus

00:28:37.809 --> 00:28:41.210
died and rose again, even so them also which

00:28:41.210 --> 00:28:45.809
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this

00:28:45.809 --> 00:28:49.069
we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that

00:28:49.069 --> 00:28:52.170
we which are alive and remain unto the coming

00:28:52.170 --> 00:28:55.529
of the Lord shall not prevent them which are

00:28:55.529 --> 00:28:59.309
asleep. For the Lord himself writes, shall descend

00:28:59.309 --> 00:29:03.079
from heaven with a shout. and a voice of the

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.220
archangel, and with the throne of God, and the

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:10.779
dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:13.500
are alive and remain will be caught together

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:17.180
with them in the clouds to meet with the Lord

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:22.299
in air, and so we shall be with the Lord. So

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:24.380
the argument is that Jesus will not come in a

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:26.779
visible body, that it will not be seen. But he

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:28.259
said we will be with the Lord, we will be caught

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:30.779
up with the Lord, we will be in that congregation.

00:29:31.549 --> 00:29:35.390
We will be in that fellowship. Acts 1, 9 -11.

00:29:35.650 --> 00:29:37.490
Of course, that's an eyewitness account, but

00:29:37.490 --> 00:29:41.369
we can use it. Are you there? Acts 1, 9 -11.

00:29:41.890 --> 00:29:44.630
Now, when he had spoken these things, while they

00:29:44.630 --> 00:29:48.490
watched, he was taken up in a cloud. He was taken

00:29:48.490 --> 00:29:51.109
up and a cloud received him out of their sights.

00:29:51.250 --> 00:29:54.170
And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven

00:29:54.170 --> 00:29:57.049
as they went up, behold, two men stood by them

00:29:57.049 --> 00:30:01.130
in white apparel. Right? who also said, men of

00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:03.490
Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?

00:30:03.630 --> 00:30:07.089
The same Jesus whom, who was taken up from you

00:30:07.089 --> 00:30:11.769
into heaven will so come in like manner as you

00:30:11.769 --> 00:30:16.130
saw him go into heaven, right? So he would come

00:30:16.130 --> 00:30:18.609
in like manner in the way he has gone. So it

00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:20.690
means that when he's coming, they will see him,

00:30:20.710 --> 00:30:24.230
right? When he's appearing, in appearing of Christ,

00:30:24.309 --> 00:30:26.529
what we call the appearing of Christ, right?

00:30:26.650 --> 00:30:30.980
We will see him in his appearing. So again, we

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:33.819
see that we will see him in his appearing. Now

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:37.480
we'll add one more scriptures. Okay, no, this

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.000
one is resurrection. We've seen that. So the

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.460
scripture that talks about we will see him, I'll

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:47.420
look for the scriptures, then we'll get on with

00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:49.880
that. We will see him as he is. It talks about

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.599
the fact that we will behold him, right? We do

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.140
not know yet where we are, but we know, if you

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:57.059
can look for that scripture for me, I'm trying

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:58.519
to quote it, but I don't want to quote it wrongly.

00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.819
There's one other scriptures that refers to how

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:04.960
we will be or how we will be, right? How we will

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.859
be, how we transform. We don't know the body,

00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:08.339
we don't know how we'll be, but something is

00:31:08.339 --> 00:31:11.319
certain. We will be as he is, right? I think

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.319
that talk about the resurrection of the body

00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:17.039
again. So I'm going to stop here for this particular

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.200
one. Other things are just wrong interpretation

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.359
of the scriptures. The 144, I think some of you

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.039
might be waiting for me to teach the 144 persons

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.259
that will be saved and others. According to them

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:31.500
also, there are 144 persons that will be saved,

00:31:31.539 --> 00:31:33.380
but these are wrong interpretations of revelation.

00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.799
We're going to come back to them maybe later

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.619
on, but right now we'll go to the next, right?

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.579
The next one. So we are, we are done with this.

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:44.799
So also salvation again in this is based on the

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.420
organization. It's based on the membership in

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:50.480
the organization. Let's go to the next group.

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:54.180
Now is this one is more quite challenging, right?

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.220
So we're done with Jehovah witness, but the moment's

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:58.450
teachings is quite challenging. And you need

00:31:58.450 --> 00:32:00.849
to know, right? Again, what did I first say?

00:32:00.869 --> 00:32:03.670
I said that these people cannot do greater works.

00:32:03.970 --> 00:32:07.250
They cannot work the work of the Holy Ghost.

00:32:07.609 --> 00:32:11.589
Therefore, although there is tenacity in evangelism

00:32:11.589 --> 00:32:14.509
amongst these people, right? There's a problem.

00:32:14.609 --> 00:32:18.890
The problem is that they cannot do the work of

00:32:18.890 --> 00:32:21.430
the Holy Ghost. They cannot do the work of the

00:32:21.430 --> 00:32:22.789
Holy Ghost. I think I got scripture. Let's go

00:32:22.789 --> 00:32:25.930
to 1 John 3, 2. 1 John 3, I think that's the

00:32:25.930 --> 00:32:29.460
scripture I'm looking for. Thank you. From verse

00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:56.269
1. as he is, right? We'll see Christ in his appearing

00:32:56.269 --> 00:33:00.269
and we would be, we'll have that same body. We

00:33:00.269 --> 00:33:03.730
will have that same body. So, that is clear,

00:33:03.809 --> 00:33:05.509
to clear that. Now, coming to the teachings of

00:33:05.509 --> 00:33:07.309
the Mormon, the first thing is, again, we are

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:09.049
not attacking the person but the teaching. You

00:33:09.049 --> 00:33:11.150
will see that it is where they touch the Bible

00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:15.630
that we are paying attention to. Good. So, this

00:33:15.630 --> 00:33:17.809
one, the Mormon was created by someone called

00:33:17.809 --> 00:33:20.450
Joseph Smith, right? So, you can write down Joe

00:33:20.450 --> 00:33:23.670
Smith, known by the residents. of the United

00:33:23.670 --> 00:33:27.470
States where he was born, Joe Smith, right? And

00:33:27.470 --> 00:33:30.930
in this person is someone who loves to look for

00:33:30.930 --> 00:33:33.829
treasure. And it's commonly, this common knowledge,

00:33:34.049 --> 00:33:35.849
right? Someone who loves to look for treasure.

00:33:35.930 --> 00:33:38.589
Treasure means he digs the ground, he search

00:33:38.589 --> 00:33:41.109
for treasures and all of that. We're going to

00:33:41.109 --> 00:33:44.490
see how all of these affects their teaching,

00:33:44.690 --> 00:33:47.670
right? It affects their teaching because in the

00:33:47.670 --> 00:33:50.630
long run, in the teaching of these establishments,

00:33:50.670 --> 00:33:55.539
they said, That it is impossible for God to,

00:33:55.619 --> 00:34:00.119
for Mary to be divinely conceived for Christ.

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:03.039
For rather, Christ should be divinely conceived.

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:06.140
That something material happened that God came

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:09.039
down to have an intercourse with Mary. That is

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:14.099
the terrible doctrine that we cannot accept.

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:17.380
Right? Of course, we know spirits. If God is

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:20.500
spirit, there can be no such interaction. Right?

00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:23.750
So. He loves to look for treasure and this forms

00:34:23.750 --> 00:34:27.570
the material foundation of the doctrine. Now

00:34:27.570 --> 00:34:29.630
in the world today, they are probably the most,

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:32.650
I mean, when it comes to material things, they

00:34:32.650 --> 00:34:35.730
are actually invested in that. They are well

00:34:35.730 --> 00:34:37.449
invested in that. So he likes to look for treasure.

00:34:37.710 --> 00:34:40.269
And in the course of looking for treasure, he

00:34:40.269 --> 00:34:44.610
had a vision, a vision, right? A vision that

00:34:44.610 --> 00:34:47.710
an angel instructed him. So this one is built

00:34:47.710 --> 00:34:51.789
on personal vision. in which the God, the Father,

00:34:51.829 --> 00:34:55.369
and Jesus allegedly appear to him to declare

00:34:55.369 --> 00:34:58.050
that all existing church have become corrupt.

00:34:58.429 --> 00:35:02.289
And therefore, he needs to establish a new church

00:35:02.289 --> 00:35:05.309
to restore true Christianity. So I'm just going

00:35:05.309 --> 00:35:07.250
to quickly move through this history because

00:35:07.250 --> 00:35:10.070
they don't help us that much. There's an argument

00:35:10.070 --> 00:35:13.329
that the person who appeared to him is a Nephi,

00:35:13.329 --> 00:35:16.369
which we never saw in any reasonable book. Nephi,

00:35:16.369 --> 00:35:19.500
N -E -P -H -I. And there's also an argument that,

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:23.340
no, it's Moroni something. So, beings that do

00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:29.460
not have solid foundation in any book, any book

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:33.880
on it. Also, one of the things he also believed,

00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:35.920
which we are going to come there, is that he

00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.840
believes that polygamy is fine. Right? Polygamy

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:43.119
is fine. In fact, the doctrine is that men existed

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:46.239
as spirits. Then, this wrong doctrine, which

00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:48.190
I don't want to say too much about. And then

00:35:48.190 --> 00:35:50.869
they have to be coming into body. So for men

00:35:50.869 --> 00:35:53.690
to come into body, that spirit of men to come

00:35:53.690 --> 00:35:55.329
in, we need to produce more children so that

00:35:55.329 --> 00:35:57.630
they'll be taking up the spirit so that more

00:35:57.630 --> 00:36:00.349
spirit can come to be. Now this is doctrine of

00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:04.150
Satan. This is really doctrine of the devil.

00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:07.070
And we cannot accept this because there's no

00:36:07.070 --> 00:36:10.789
part of the Bible that explains this. Also the

00:36:10.789 --> 00:36:12.989
book, the Mormon book was also established among

00:36:12.989 --> 00:36:15.289
many other books, the convenance of convenance

00:36:15.289 --> 00:36:18.550
and all of that. Now, He handed over to someone

00:36:18.550 --> 00:36:26.630
who is called Bram Young. Bram Young. Bram Young.

00:36:27.250 --> 00:36:30.510
The same pattern of forming an organization.

00:36:31.170 --> 00:36:34.389
He established and handed over to someone called

00:36:34.389 --> 00:36:37.929
Bram Young. And the same way Rutherford tried

00:36:37.929 --> 00:36:40.909
to claim the image of the watchtower society,

00:36:41.409 --> 00:36:45.409
Bram Young did exactly the same thing. To claim

00:36:45.409 --> 00:36:48.400
the image. of the new society that was formed.

00:36:49.099 --> 00:36:52.519
To clean the image of new society that was formed.

00:36:53.260 --> 00:36:55.860
I think I'm just going to go into teachings and

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:58.420
then do the correction of the teachings that

00:36:58.420 --> 00:37:02.519
they have established. Now again, what is salvation

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.659
in this teaching, right? I think I didn't put

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:09.000
too much history, but what is salvation? How

00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:12.440
are men saved? Now, for every faith you see today,

00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.289
the first question you should ask is, How are

00:37:15.289 --> 00:37:20.110
men saved? How are men saved? If you can ask

00:37:20.110 --> 00:37:23.670
any faith this question, you can know whether

00:37:23.670 --> 00:37:26.010
they are in line with the Bible, whether they

00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:28.889
are serving the true God or not. How are men

00:37:28.889 --> 00:37:31.489
saved? So according to this organization, men

00:37:31.489 --> 00:37:36.889
are saved, not by faith alone, okay? Not by faith

00:37:36.889 --> 00:37:40.130
alone, but baptism, which is a contradiction

00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:45.000
to Ephesians 2 verse 8. Again. right? We already

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.000
saw that scriptures. So our men said, men are

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:50.400
saved through immersion, which is in water, obedience

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.340
to the ordinance of the Latter -day Saints Church,

00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.880
which is the name of the church, right? So he

00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:59.019
changed from many names, right? Until what they

00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:01.320
call the Latter -day Saints Church, right? So

00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:04.980
men are saved not only by this baptism, but also

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:08.639
much more, right? The ordinance of the church.

00:38:08.780 --> 00:38:10.699
But we already saw that scriptures, Ephesians

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:14.880
2, 8 to 10. Saying that no man can be saved except

00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:18.500
by faith. Right? We are saved by grace through

00:38:18.500 --> 00:38:24.780
faith in God. Ephesians 2 .8 -10. Romans 3 .24

00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:33.059
-28. Romans 3 .24 -28. Galatians 2 .16. Galatians

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:37.820
2 .16. So men are saved by following the ordinances

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:40.110
of the church. It's like here we tell you that

00:38:40.110 --> 00:38:42.949
you are saved, but there is a booklet of any

00:38:42.949 --> 00:38:46.289
self -conduct that you must follow for your salvation

00:38:46.289 --> 00:38:49.369
to be perfect. We are glad we have not said such

00:38:49.369 --> 00:38:52.610
a thing, right? Because the same faith that holds

00:38:52.610 --> 00:38:56.329
you, holds us. And that's the faith in Christ.

00:38:56.590 --> 00:39:00.610
That is the faith in Christ. Salvation is also

00:39:00.610 --> 00:39:04.210
viewed as progression, but this is not the teaching

00:39:04.210 --> 00:39:07.250
of Christ. This is not a teaching of Christ.

00:39:07.369 --> 00:39:10.710
These are teachings of Satan. So you can put

00:39:10.710 --> 00:39:14.690
Galatians 2, 16, Titus 3, 5. Just write the scriptures

00:39:14.690 --> 00:39:19.349
down. Titus 3, 5. Hebrews 9, verse 22. Hebrews

00:39:19.349 --> 00:39:23.010
9, verse 22. These are scriptures that addresses

00:39:23.010 --> 00:39:27.289
these teachings. That says that by grace and

00:39:27.289 --> 00:39:31.110
after all that we can do. After all that we can

00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:36.059
do. James 2, 17 to 26. We can add it. I'm just

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:38.159
calling out the scriptures so that we can move

00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:39.840
a little bit faster. I want us to take time out

00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:43.719
to pray after we push through all of these doctrines.

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:44.880
You know, after this kind of teachings, you have

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.059
to pray. James 2, 17 to 26. Can you go to James?

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:52.260
Let me read that part, please. Thus, also by

00:39:52.260 --> 00:39:56.320
faith itself, it does not have works, is dead.

00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:58.639
Next one. But someone will say, you have faith

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.119
and I have works. Show me your faith without

00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:05.460
your works. and I will show you my faith by my

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:08.360
works. You believe that there is one God, you

00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.300
do well, even demons believe and tremble. But

00:40:11.300 --> 00:40:15.260
do you want to know, O foolish one, that faith

00:40:15.260 --> 00:40:17.719
without works is dead? Was Abraham not a father?

00:40:17.820 --> 00:40:20.719
Now, they use this scripture wrongly, referring

00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.159
to, right, salvation, referring to the fact that

00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:26.820
to be saved, you would have faith and you have

00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:30.119
to do something to be saved. Now, this is talking

00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:34.900
about, right, The faith work of the believer,

00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.699
right? The work that the believer has when he

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:41.500
has believed. Not saying that the faith must

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:44.460
come with something to be saved. Keep going.

00:40:45.139 --> 00:40:48.260
Our father works, which he offered Isaac, his

00:40:48.260 --> 00:40:50.239
son on the altar. The next one. Do you see that

00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.480
faith was working together with his works by

00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:57.880
the works? And by works, faith was not made perfect.

00:40:57.940 --> 00:41:00.099
Next. And the scriptures were fulfilled. Abraham

00:41:00.099 --> 00:41:02.409
believed God and it was accounted to him. as

00:41:02.409 --> 00:41:04.730
righteousness and he called and he was called

00:41:04.730 --> 00:41:07.570
the friend of god you see then that a man is

00:41:07.570 --> 00:41:11.570
justified by works not by faith only next likewise

00:41:11.570 --> 00:41:15.110
was not now this explanation is showing right

00:41:15.110 --> 00:41:19.050
people who believed god and in their belief of

00:41:19.050 --> 00:41:23.510
god they have an expression not the faiths then

00:41:23.510 --> 00:41:28.110
something added to be saved so what they do not

00:41:28.110 --> 00:41:30.110
understand here is that the explanation here

00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:33.820
is talking about the conduct of someone who has

00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:38.300
believed God. Not the conduct of someone to come

00:41:38.300 --> 00:41:41.900
into God. Okay? Someone who has believed God,

00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:46.460
not the conduct of someone who is to come into

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:49.840
God. Now, the last one about salvation. So, salvation

00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.440
is by works for them and you have to give, you

00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:53.940
have to be part of the organization as well.

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.320
Now, another thing about salvation is that salvation

00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:01.489
cannot happen to a man. who is about to die.

00:42:02.130 --> 00:42:04.769
Okay? Salvation cannot. Now, let's look at Luke

00:42:04.769 --> 00:42:10.650
23, verse 43. Luke 23, verse 43. Salvation cannot

00:42:10.650 --> 00:42:12.690
happen to a man that is about to die. And Jesus

00:42:12.690 --> 00:42:15.190
said unto him, Assuredly, I say to you, today

00:42:15.190 --> 00:42:20.309
you will be with me in paradise. Now, this, right,

00:42:20.389 --> 00:42:22.769
was talking about, Jesus was talking to a man,

00:42:22.969 --> 00:42:26.829
right, the other thief that was on the tree,

00:42:27.050 --> 00:42:29.469
and saying that he will be with him in paradise.

00:42:29.570 --> 00:42:33.420
Now, They argue that a man at the point of death

00:42:33.420 --> 00:42:37.519
cannot be saved because the works will be missing.

00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:41.159
And therefore, this also contradicts the scriptures

00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.320
because the Bible says, by grace through faith,

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:47.320
we have been saved. We have been saved. For them,

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:49.840
there are quite a whole lot, but we're trying

00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:53.840
to see how far we can go. So in this doctrine,

00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:56.539
there is no salvation because it is based on

00:42:56.539 --> 00:42:59.159
works. It is based on... what they follow, right?

00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.840
Therefore, when you are arguing and you are,

00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:03.500
sorry, you are explaining the scriptures, you

00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:07.739
have to show them that's Galatians and show them

00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:12.059
in accordance with Ephesians chapter 2 and combine

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:15.239
them together to say that a believer is expected

00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.380
to show forth works after he has been saved,

00:43:20.539 --> 00:43:25.260
not to provide works for salvation. So they argue

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:28.059
that this guy cannot be saved. Right? He cannot

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:30.340
be saved because his works, there is no works

00:43:30.340 --> 00:43:34.679
of salvation for him. Now, let's see more of

00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:40.900
these. Sorry. All right, let's... Excuse me.

00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:48.079
Nice. Good. Now, they also assume the pre -existence

00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:50.480
of human spirits. I think I talked about that.

00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.480
Requiring physical bodies, which many of their

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:55.480
books, right? I can't quote their books, right?

00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:58.679
Many of their books... acknowledges this but

00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.840
let's see what the bible says right let's see

00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.280
what the bible says first of all one of their

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:10.239
teachings says every being was a god so that's

00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:11.820
another thing you should write down that every

00:44:11.820 --> 00:44:14.739
being was it is a false teaching adam was a god

00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:18.139
all humans were in spirit they were gods and

00:44:18.139 --> 00:44:21.500
they were other gods right they were other gods

00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:24.659
so apart from god there are other gods and it

00:44:24.659 --> 00:44:28.860
calls And that is actually stating that there

00:44:28.860 --> 00:44:31.260
are several gods, which is polytheism, right?

00:44:31.340 --> 00:44:33.420
It means there are several other gods. So let's

00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:36.860
see if the Bible, you know, acknowledges that.

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.800
Deuteronomy 6, 4, we read it before. We can write

00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:43.420
that down. Deuteronomy 6, verse 4. Deuteronomy

00:44:43.420 --> 00:44:49.679
6, verse 4. 1 Corinthians 8, verse 6. We read

00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:53.019
that already. 1 Corinthians 8, verse 6. John

00:44:53.019 --> 00:44:57.239
1, 1. John 1, 1. Just put it down. These are

00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.500
scriptures that debunk any form of pre -existence

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:04.300
of spirits at the beginning. Okay? They debunk

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:06.239
every form of pre -existence of spirits. John

00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:11.840
1, 1. John 1, 14. John 1, 29. Yeah, John 1, 29.

00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:19.539
Isaiah 53, 3 to 6. Isaiah 53, 3 to 6. They debunk

00:45:19.539 --> 00:45:24.769
every form of pre -existence of a God. as Adam.

00:45:25.489 --> 00:45:27.949
So let's go to Genesis 1. Let's go to Genesis

00:45:27.949 --> 00:45:35.610
1 and see. Genesis 1. Genesis. Genesis chapter

00:45:35.610 --> 00:45:48.690
1. Verse 20. Let's go to verse 27. So God created

00:45:48.690 --> 00:45:51.699
man in his own image and In the image of God

00:45:51.699 --> 00:45:56.780
created he him. Male and female created them.

00:45:57.019 --> 00:45:59.719
Verse 26 says, And God said, Let us make man

00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:03.340
in our image after our likeness, and let them

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:06.860
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over

00:46:06.860 --> 00:46:09.000
the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and

00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:12.000
over all the earth, and over all the creeping

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.300
thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:18.340
them in his own image. Now verse 26 says, And

00:46:18.340 --> 00:46:22.489
God blessed them. And God said unto them, be

00:46:22.489 --> 00:46:24.710
fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth

00:46:24.710 --> 00:46:28.050
and subdue it and have dominion over it. Now

00:46:28.050 --> 00:46:31.730
this is showing God's intention, right? To create

00:46:31.730 --> 00:46:36.130
man in his image, not to create God. And that

00:46:36.130 --> 00:46:38.230
was the creation of humanity, right? Talking

00:46:38.230 --> 00:46:40.269
about to create, to bring humanity into him.

00:46:40.369 --> 00:46:42.909
So it's actually reflecting that God did not

00:46:42.909 --> 00:46:47.369
create God, right? But rather he created man.

00:46:47.980 --> 00:46:51.340
God did not create a God, but he created man.

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:56.480
God did not create God, a God, but he created

00:46:56.480 --> 00:47:00.139
man. And there was no pre -existence of any spirits.

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:04.639
So there is no pre -Adamic existence. There is

00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.579
no pre -Adamic existence of any form of being

00:47:07.579 --> 00:47:13.239
or any form of spirits. Let's see. There's also

00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:17.800
an assumption that when God said in... Chapter

00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:20.480
2 verse, let's go to chapter 2 of that Genesis.

00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:26.599
Genesis chapter 2 verse 7. And the Lord God formed

00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:30.719
man of the dust of the ground and breaded into

00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:34.800
his nosery the bread of life and man became a

00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.559
living soul. There's also an argument that this

00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.579
made man a God. But rather, this only gave man

00:47:42.579 --> 00:47:45.940
the bread to live. So here he's talking about

00:47:45.940 --> 00:47:50.179
only the ability to live life. That man has not

00:47:50.179 --> 00:47:53.199
been found in God's image for him to be a God

00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:58.320
and that man is not a God, but a creation of

00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.659
God, right? God created the man. And therefore

00:48:01.659 --> 00:48:05.059
the breath here refers to life. The breath here

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:10.320
refers to life. Now let's go into further more

00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:11.840
of their theology. Now with Sean's salvation,

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.670
salvation is... through being a member of the

00:48:14.670 --> 00:48:18.449
church and through a member of that discipleship.

00:48:18.510 --> 00:48:22.289
Now, let's see. They claim something about priesthood.

00:48:22.369 --> 00:48:24.389
So I'm just going to move very fast to priesthood.

00:48:24.570 --> 00:48:28.349
Now, they believe that the Aaron priesthood has

00:48:28.349 --> 00:48:31.630
been passed on to the leader of this church by

00:48:31.630 --> 00:48:35.590
a vision, a saw, where Peter, James, and John

00:48:35.590 --> 00:48:40.769
anointed him as the Aaron of the generation.

00:48:41.429 --> 00:48:45.769
Okay? So let's see priesthood a little bit. Let's

00:48:45.769 --> 00:48:48.090
see priesthood. Let's see what Hebrews said about

00:48:48.090 --> 00:48:52.030
priesthood. So they believe that they have been

00:48:52.030 --> 00:48:55.650
anointed in a vision that the Aaronic priesthood

00:48:55.650 --> 00:48:58.769
have been passed through John the Baptist. So

00:48:58.769 --> 00:49:01.269
let's see from the scripture Hebrews. Hebrews

00:49:01.269 --> 00:49:06.750
7 verse 11 to 19. Hebrews 7 verse 11 to 19. Can

00:49:06.750 --> 00:49:08.949
you quickly go there please? And you also put

00:49:08.949 --> 00:49:12.320
Hebrews 8 verse 1 to 5. Therefore, if perfection

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.139
were true, the Levitical priesthood. For on that

00:49:15.139 --> 00:49:18.440
is, the people received the law. What further

00:49:18.440 --> 00:49:21.340
need was there that another priest should arise

00:49:21.340 --> 00:49:24.860
according to the order of Melchizedek and not

00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:27.460
be caught according to the order of Aaron? Next.

00:49:27.539 --> 00:49:30.539
For the priesthood being changed of necessity,

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.059
there's also a change of the law. Next. For he

00:49:35.059 --> 00:49:38.159
of whom these things are spoken belonged to another

00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:41.050
tribe. from which no man has officiated at the

00:49:41.050 --> 00:49:43.909
altar. Now he's talking about the priesthood

00:49:43.909 --> 00:49:47.289
of Aaron and comparing it with the priesthood

00:49:47.289 --> 00:49:51.309
of Melchizedek, which Christ came to be part

00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:54.090
of, right? Which Christ came to be part of, or

00:49:54.090 --> 00:49:57.550
which is a similitude of what Christ walked in.

00:49:57.730 --> 00:50:01.090
So talking about an earthly tabernacle in the

00:50:01.090 --> 00:50:05.130
old priesthood and in this heavenly priesthood,

00:50:05.269 --> 00:50:10.179
which we are going to see in Hebrews 9, So, what

00:50:10.179 --> 00:50:14.380
we see here is that they claim that they possess

00:50:14.380 --> 00:50:18.679
a priesthood that is Aaronic, means from Aaron,

00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:23.519
right? As is faulty in the sense that the scripture

00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:28.340
itself states that this priesthood has been taken

00:50:28.340 --> 00:50:32.480
away. So, how can John the Baptist give you a

00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:36.000
priesthood that the writers of Hebrews says is

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:41.119
passed away? violates the Bible, significantly

00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:44.099
violates the Bible. So the Bible explains that

00:50:44.099 --> 00:50:46.840
the Levitical priesthood has been taken away.

00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:51.119
And therefore, it is not something that they

00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:52.719
can partake in. And don't forget, this Levitical

00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:56.699
priesthood, by history, is within the Levite

00:50:56.699 --> 00:50:58.679
family, right? It's within a family, something

00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:01.659
that is transferred, right? And John the Baptist,

00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:04.739
you know. So this is on a personal revelation

00:51:04.739 --> 00:51:08.539
that cannot hold any ground. Now let's go to

00:51:08.539 --> 00:51:13.059
Hebrews 9, 11. Hebrews 9, 11 for the priesthood

00:51:13.059 --> 00:51:16.139
of Christ. But Christ came as a high priest of

00:51:16.139 --> 00:51:18.760
the good things to come with the greater and

00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:21.199
more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that

00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:25.619
is not of this creation. Stop. Now here is establishing

00:51:25.619 --> 00:51:30.820
Christ as the high priest over the Aaron's priesthood.

00:51:31.420 --> 00:51:34.000
Right? Are we together? It's establishing Christ

00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:37.239
as a high priest over... the Heron's priesthood.

00:51:37.900 --> 00:51:41.679
So, the argument is that they receive the priesthood

00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:44.599
of the Levitical priesthood from John the Baptist

00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:47.260
and Melchizedek priesthood from Peter, James,

00:51:47.300 --> 00:51:50.260
and John. Right? And however, the scripture is

00:51:50.260 --> 00:51:52.900
saying that Christ became the high priest. It

00:51:52.900 --> 00:51:55.760
means that there is no other priesthood that

00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:59.639
can stand except the priesthood of Christ. Okay?

00:51:59.780 --> 00:52:02.079
It's establishing that there is no other priesthood

00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:04.400
that can stand in this. except the priesthood.

00:52:04.460 --> 00:52:07.780
So no man can say, I saw a vision and I received

00:52:07.780 --> 00:52:10.599
a priesthood and will follow. It contradicts

00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:14.199
the Bible very significantly. I mean, these ones,

00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:15.940
there are very few scriptures, but we'll check

00:52:15.940 --> 00:52:18.940
it. We'll check them. So we've brought this to

00:52:18.940 --> 00:52:22.880
a stop. We can add Hebrews 9 verse 24, Hebrews

00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:28.000
8 verse 4 to 5, Hebrews 8 verse 4 to 5. Let's

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.059
go to Hebrews 8 verse 4 to 5. Can you go to Hebrews

00:52:30.059 --> 00:52:33.190
8 verse 4 to 5 for me? Let's see. What is there?

00:52:33.829 --> 00:52:35.630
Now, this is the main point of the thing they

00:52:35.630 --> 00:52:38.170
are saying. That we have such a high priest who

00:52:38.170 --> 00:52:41.590
is seated at the right hand of the throne of

00:52:41.590 --> 00:52:45.050
the majesty in heavens. A minister of the sanctuary

00:52:45.050 --> 00:52:47.650
of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected

00:52:47.650 --> 00:52:50.489
and not man. So, stop here, right? So, with the

00:52:50.489 --> 00:52:52.889
Lord erected and not man. So, the real tabernacle,

00:52:53.050 --> 00:52:57.170
right, we see that is that which pertains to

00:52:57.170 --> 00:52:59.949
Christ. And therefore, after this tabernacle,

00:53:00.070 --> 00:53:03.880
there will be no other. or any other order of

00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:08.019
a priesthood again. So we see that such kind

00:53:08.019 --> 00:53:10.980
of arguments violates what Jesus said. So again,

00:53:11.099 --> 00:53:14.659
we move to the next thing. They argue that God

00:53:14.659 --> 00:53:17.440
was once man, which we can never find anywhere

00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.840
in the Bible. God was one man. Adam was once

00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:24.639
God. And there were many gods. Psalms 82. Let's

00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:26.159
go to Psalms 82. I think we've dealt with Psalm

00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:31.260
82 before here. Psalm 82 referring to Ye are

00:53:31.260 --> 00:53:37.199
gods, right? And quoting that psalm is taking

00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:43.260
it out of the entire context. Psalms 82, verse

00:53:43.260 --> 00:53:47.000
6 says, I have said, ye are gods, and all of

00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.840
you are children of the Most High, but ye shall

00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:53.880
die like men and fall like one of the princes.

00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.099
Fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, and

00:53:57.099 --> 00:54:03.280
draw the head, for thou shalt inherit. So, what

00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:07.039
we see here is that truly they saw the statement,

00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:13.019
Now, the word there refers to mighty men, judges.

00:54:13.440 --> 00:54:16.699
It can also refer to principalities and powers.

00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:19.980
Okay? It can refer to principalities and power,

00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:24.730
people who have dominions. Right? So, it's just

00:54:24.730 --> 00:54:27.510
referring to what these principalities and powers,

00:54:27.590 --> 00:54:30.849
the powers in which they have, not saying that

00:54:30.849 --> 00:54:35.090
they share a godhood with God. So, it's only

00:54:35.090 --> 00:54:39.809
referring to the people, right, who owns principalities

00:54:39.809 --> 00:54:42.289
and powers, what we see in Ephesians 1, Ephesians

00:54:42.289 --> 00:54:46.349
2, in that context. So, therefore, there is nothing

00:54:46.349 --> 00:54:50.250
as such as Adam was God, neither is any man God,

00:54:50.349 --> 00:54:54.079
but there's only one God in the place. All right,

00:54:54.099 --> 00:54:56.860
I'm trying to see what is left to be covered.

00:54:58.019 --> 00:55:00.239
So the virgin birth, let's talk about the virgin

00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:04.039
birth now. According to them, right, in their

00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:07.460
books, extra, you know, books that they have,

00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:11.659
they argue that the virgin birth had to be literal,

00:55:11.820 --> 00:55:16.219
physical saints. That God fathered, physically

00:55:16.219 --> 00:55:20.139
fathered Jesus, which is blasphemy, right, if

00:55:20.139 --> 00:55:21.920
you will know, if you will call that. Jewish

00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:25.500
people will hold this as blasphemy. They will

00:55:25.500 --> 00:55:30.500
hold this as blasphemy. And there is no example

00:55:30.500 --> 00:55:33.800
of such in the scriptures. There's no example

00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:35.420
of such in the scriptures. So you can show them

00:55:35.420 --> 00:55:37.539
Matthew, right? You can respond to them with

00:55:37.539 --> 00:55:43.440
Matthew 1, 18 to 25, Luke 34 to 35. That's even

00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:47.940
Mary asked, how shall these things be? How shall

00:55:47.940 --> 00:55:50.500
these things be? If you go Matthew 1, 18 to...

00:55:50.650 --> 00:55:54.510
Mary was asking because if the angel had told

00:55:54.510 --> 00:55:58.409
Mary that God would become a man, then fathered

00:55:58.409 --> 00:56:02.090
his son in a physical way as man would have with

00:56:02.090 --> 00:56:03.989
a wife, she would have said, it is possible.

00:56:04.329 --> 00:56:08.489
If God had said, Joseph would have an intercourse

00:56:08.489 --> 00:56:11.690
with you and then you would bring forth Jesus,

00:56:11.869 --> 00:56:14.849
she would say, it's possible. But they said the

00:56:14.849 --> 00:56:19.550
Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, right, would overshadow

00:56:19.550 --> 00:56:22.550
you. It means that she will be full of the Spirit

00:56:22.550 --> 00:56:25.510
and she will conceive. Do we get it? That she

00:56:25.510 --> 00:56:27.670
will be full of the Spirit and she will conceive.

00:56:27.710 --> 00:56:30.610
Therefore, there is no physical or literal sense

00:56:30.610 --> 00:56:32.469
of that. Otherwise, she will not have doubted

00:56:32.469 --> 00:56:36.090
it. Again, second point. Joseph, the scripture

00:56:36.090 --> 00:56:41.050
says, Joseph did not know his wife until she

00:56:41.050 --> 00:56:45.750
brought forth Christ. Right? So, the question

00:56:45.750 --> 00:56:48.909
that, well... Mary was not a virgin. That means

00:56:48.909 --> 00:56:51.989
there was an intercourse. Then the child was

00:56:51.989 --> 00:56:55.110
actually the biological way of having children.

00:56:55.349 --> 00:56:59.409
And this also becomes a problem in their doctrine.

00:56:59.550 --> 00:57:03.050
So in this, we can see no form of salvation.

00:57:03.769 --> 00:57:08.909
Not one form of salvation is available in such

00:57:08.909 --> 00:57:13.090
a teaching. No form of salvation is available.

00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.099
Now they argue so many things that the way God

00:57:16.099 --> 00:57:20.179
has visited the Eastern people, the Eastern people

00:57:20.179 --> 00:57:23.440
is Israel, right? That they are the new Western

00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:26.420
people, right? They are the new Western people

00:57:26.420 --> 00:57:30.219
that God will visit. So in Jesus' coming, right?

00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.000
This is about eschatology and I'm talking about

00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:34.559
their end time theology. That the way God chose

00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:39.159
Israel, God has chosen them as a people. And

00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:41.900
then when he's coming, he would also visit them.

00:57:42.489 --> 00:57:44.050
And where are they located? They are located

00:57:44.050 --> 00:57:46.010
in the United States, right? They are located

00:57:46.010 --> 00:57:51.469
in probably Utah. And this is the argument that

00:57:51.469 --> 00:57:53.510
after the gathering of the Jews, the faithful

00:57:53.510 --> 00:57:56.730
Mormons in Missouri, Missouri is the new Jerusalem.

00:57:57.170 --> 00:57:59.309
That's where they would come. Now, we don't want

00:57:59.309 --> 00:58:01.610
to go into so much of all these, their stories,

00:58:01.630 --> 00:58:04.130
but I just want to show you where they step on

00:58:04.130 --> 00:58:06.650
the scriptures, where they step on the scriptures.

00:58:06.929 --> 00:58:10.230
So the last one is eschatology. In their eschatology,

00:58:10.349 --> 00:58:12.849
they said that there will be three. People, three

00:58:12.849 --> 00:58:17.670
kingdoms, three kingdoms. There'll be the celestial

00:58:17.670 --> 00:58:20.530
kingdom, the terrestrial kingdom, and, you know,

00:58:20.590 --> 00:58:25.269
the terrestrial, tele, telemedicine, right? Terrestrial.

00:58:25.889 --> 00:58:28.789
And then the terrestrial, which is the forest,

00:58:28.969 --> 00:58:31.130
or I think that's terrestrial. Then the celestial.

00:58:31.769 --> 00:58:34.309
And such teachings can never be found. I'm telling

00:58:34.309 --> 00:58:36.610
you so that when they bring it, you will know.

00:58:37.010 --> 00:58:40.090
You will know and you will debunk it. The Bible

00:58:40.090 --> 00:58:42.960
does not show. any form of this kingdom. There's

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:46.380
only one kingdom, which is the kingdom of Christ.

00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:49.019
So the terrestrial, the terrestrial, and the

00:58:49.019 --> 00:58:52.760
celestial. Terrestrial, terrestrial, the celestial.

00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:57.679
C -E -L -T -E -R then C -E -L. They argue that

00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:02.059
the celestial kingdom is in the highest level,

00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:05.519
requiring celestial marriage by the Mormon temples

00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:09.380
and all of that. And there is nothing. So this

00:59:09.380 --> 00:59:13.250
entirety, of this organization is founded on

00:59:13.250 --> 00:59:17.309
extracurricular books that are not parts of the

00:59:17.309 --> 00:59:21.750
Bible. Again, they have over 40, I mean, I don't

00:59:21.750 --> 00:59:25.110
want to call a number, but thousands of plagiarisms

00:59:25.110 --> 00:59:29.070
of the Bible. And I tell somebody, John, the

00:59:29.070 --> 00:59:32.110
book of John is the one they plagiarize the most.

00:59:32.670 --> 00:59:35.829
So in the basis of this, we can see that there

00:59:35.829 --> 00:59:40.510
is no salvation in such a doctrine. There is

00:59:40.510 --> 00:59:44.050
no salvation in such a doctrine. Now, if you

00:59:44.050 --> 00:59:45.889
need more details, we are going to talk about

00:59:45.889 --> 00:59:49.449
the details and we are going to share some materials

00:59:49.449 --> 00:59:53.650
on that. Let's see. The last one, blood atonement.

00:59:53.789 --> 00:59:56.429
We can talk about blood atonement. They also

00:59:56.429 --> 00:59:58.949
believe that the blood of Jesus did not take

00:59:58.949 --> 01:00:03.929
away all the sins of men. This is the end of

01:00:03.929 --> 01:00:07.199
it, right? They believe that the blood of Jesus,

01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:11.679
against the teachings in Hebrews, that says that

01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:16.119
Christ's blood was shed once and for all. So

01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:20.800
Hebrews 9, we believe that Jesus' blood did not

01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.940
take away the sins of the world. There are some

01:00:23.940 --> 01:00:27.239
sins that the blood did not clean. Hebrews 9,

01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.460
14. How much more shall the blood of Christ,

01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:35.409
who through the eternal spirit, Offered himself

01:00:35.409 --> 01:00:38.590
without support to God, poured your conscience

01:00:38.590 --> 01:00:44.309
from dead works to serve the living God. Romans

01:00:44.309 --> 01:00:48.610
5, 9. How much more? Comparing to the former

01:00:48.610 --> 01:00:52.110
practices, how much more? Telling you the effectiveness

01:00:52.110 --> 01:00:56.269
of the blood of Jesus, which is the life of Jesus.

01:00:56.550 --> 01:01:03.110
Romans 5, 9. Much more than having now been justified

01:01:03.110 --> 01:01:07.239
by... his blood. We shall be saved from the wrath

01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:10.639
through him. So it means that we have been justified.

01:01:10.780 --> 01:01:15.739
Justified is not partially guilty. Okay? Justified

01:01:15.739 --> 01:01:18.139
is not partial sin. But he said we have been

01:01:18.139 --> 01:01:21.500
justified by his blood. We shall be saved. We

01:01:21.500 --> 01:01:23.800
have been saved from the wrath that is to come.

01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:28.360
1 John 1, 7. So they believe that men must atone

01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.440
for their sins. So the question is if the blood

01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:34.139
of Jesus is not sufficient. What will happen?

01:01:34.219 --> 01:01:37.239
How will you be saved? They say you must atone

01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:40.380
for your sins. You must atone. Hebrews 1, John

01:01:40.380 --> 01:01:43.019
1, 7. But if we walk in the light as is in light,

01:01:43.099 --> 01:01:45.440
we have fellowship with one another and the blood

01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:48.219
of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanses us from all

01:01:48.219 --> 01:01:54.239
sins. Right? Then Hebrews 10, 10 -14. Hebrews

01:01:54.239 --> 01:01:59.699
10, 10 -14. By that, we will have been sanctified

01:01:59.699 --> 01:02:02.719
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ

01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:05.800
once and for all. And every priest and ministering

01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.280
daily offering repeated the same sacrifice, which

01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:12.239
cannot take away sins, right? But this man, after

01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:14.920
he had offered, so it means that this man, Christ,

01:02:15.059 --> 01:02:18.860
offered something that take away all sins. After

01:02:18.860 --> 01:02:20.980
he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever,

01:02:21.139 --> 01:02:23.860
sat down at the right hand of God. From that

01:02:23.860 --> 01:02:26.190
time, waiting until his enemies be made, his

01:02:26.190 --> 01:02:29.650
footstool. For by one offering he has perfected

01:02:29.650 --> 01:02:32.369
forever those that are what? That are sanctified.

01:02:32.650 --> 01:02:34.750
You can hear, you can stay here. So Christ's

01:02:34.750 --> 01:02:39.190
sacrifice is perfected for all time those that

01:02:39.190 --> 01:02:43.789
are sanctified. So such doctrine is against the

01:02:43.789 --> 01:02:46.210
sacrifice of Christ. Now let me ask you, do you

01:02:46.210 --> 01:02:49.550
think this doctrine is a Christian doctrine?

01:02:49.769 --> 01:02:54.469
Or can they be called Christians? If the sacrifice

01:02:54.469 --> 01:02:57.500
of Christ does not cover, does not take away

01:02:57.500 --> 01:03:00.219
all your sins. Now, how would you atone for your

01:03:00.219 --> 01:03:04.579
sins? One of the statements that the people they

01:03:04.579 --> 01:03:06.840
handed over to said, or one of their apostles

01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.360
said, is that if you found someone committing

01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:13.400
a sin, it would throw a spear so that the person's

01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:16.739
blood can atone on that spot. Now, there are

01:03:16.739 --> 01:03:19.500
many historical records of the conducts they

01:03:19.500 --> 01:03:22.039
carried out in the United States, right? I mean,

01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:26.199
legal records. about such practices of people

01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:30.480
at 24 ,000. So this is not the faith. Hallelujah.

01:03:31.059 --> 01:03:36.260
This is not the faith of Christ. I'd like us

01:03:36.260 --> 01:03:39.699
to stand up, right? We'll just pray. We'll pray

01:03:39.699 --> 01:03:41.980
for the next, I still have 30 minutes, right?

01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:44.619
We'll not jump into the third one now, but subsequently

01:03:44.619 --> 01:03:48.539
we'll update this. We'll pray that we are delivered

01:03:48.539 --> 01:03:52.980
from such doctrines. We are delivered from false

01:03:52.980 --> 01:03:55.980
doctrines. We are delivered from teachings that

01:03:55.980 --> 01:03:58.079
do not glorify God. Now, this is our first prayer.

01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:00.940
Then we'll begin to pray for ourselves also that

01:04:00.940 --> 01:04:06.460
we have strength to witness. Right? We have strength

01:04:06.460 --> 01:04:08.699
to witness. We are praying. Let's be on our feet.

01:04:08.780 --> 01:04:11.880
Let's be on our feet. We have received differences.

01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:14.219
Just leave that scripture all there. Say, by

01:04:14.219 --> 01:04:18.000
what sacrifice He has perfected forever. Perfected

01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:22.349
us forever. Say, I'm perfected forever. I am

01:04:22.349 --> 01:04:26.730
sanctified. I am perfected forever. I come in

01:04:26.730 --> 01:04:30.909
true faith. I have the grace of God or the blood

01:04:30.909 --> 01:04:37.250
of Christ. Period. I have eternal life. We appreciate

01:04:37.250 --> 01:04:39.949
you being here today. We hope you carry this

01:04:39.949 --> 01:04:43.010
word with you throughout your week. Don't forget
