00:09
let there be light
00:29
of every tree of the garden you may
00:31
freely eat but the tree of the knowledge
00:35
of good and evil you shall not eat
00:39
for in the day that you eat of it you
00:43
shall surely die
00:47
there's not good that man should be
00:49
alone
00:52
[Music]
01:00
my bone flesh of my flesh
01:06
for this reason a man shall leave his
01:09
father and mother and be joined to his
01:11
wife
01:13
and the two shall become one flesh
01:20
[Music]
01:25
as God indeed said you shall not eat of
01:28
every tree of the garden
01:31
[Music]
01:39
we may eat the fruit of the trees of the
01:41
garden but of the fruit of the tree
01:44
which is in the midst of the garden God
01:46
has said you shall not eat it nor shall
01:51
you touch it lest you die
01:55
you will not surely die for god knows
01:58
that in the day you eat of it your eyes
02:01
will be open and you will be like God
02:04
knowing good and evil
02:07
[Music]
02:21
[Music]
02:41
[Music]
02:57
[Music]
03:29
[Applause]
03:33
[Music]
04:13
[Music]
04:34
the energy that surrounds Jesus is
04:37
electric I don't know if Jesus is real I
04:43
don't know if he lived I don't know what
04:46
he means but the paintings of Jesus are
04:48
really my desire to convey Christ
04:52
consciousness of course I'm completely
04:55
at the Dondre well do you know but
04:57
here's I ask you so physically do you
05:03
know about about alchemical sexual
05:07
alchemy sexual alchemy
05:10
I know Alec I'm talking about Tantra I
05:11
may do you know that the story of Jesus
05:17
how it's been altered in certain ways I
05:19
mean yes there's a guy yes there was
05:22
teachings all that stuff but wasn't only
05:25
just a guy no no well okay that's right
05:28
let's not reduce it well he's not even
05:29
man actually embrace consciousness yes
05:32
something yeah he was well yeah and and
05:36
so you know but the the parallel between
05:39
that and alchemical sex is that I'm
05:43
sorry alchemical is that where so
05:45
chemical yeah yeah yeah alchemy psyche
05:48
of alchemy is there's 33 vertebrates in
05:51
your spine there's 33 years in the life
05:54
of Jesus okay
05:56
and when it sounds like a coincidence
05:59
okay
06:01
there's a there is there is a there is a
06:04
substance or liquid or you know a
06:08
substance that comes from your medulla
06:11
which is basically completely looks like
06:15
the Ark of the Covenant as has angel's
06:18
wings around it the whole thing your
06:20
module is shape now is this one Michael
06:21
Jackson is called Jesus juice yeah no no
06:24
no not the same not the same they won't
06:28
get the kids in no so this this
06:34
substance comes from your medulla makes
06:37
the trip down your spine to your sacrum
06:40
which is the which is quick that
06:42
addiction that Christ coming down into
06:45
human form and if you don't squander
06:48
that essence that sexual essence it
06:50
ascends again and goes back up to heaven
06:54
which is your thing it's also the story
06:56
of Santa Claus why he comes down the
06:58
chimney is because this this juice or
07:00
this whatever substance actually passes
07:02
what's called the cloud strim which is
07:04
where they got Santa Claus so it goes
07:07
down and back up the children
07:09
it's all very freaky shit so so you
07:12
believe without a doubt if Jesus had
07:15
existed in in the form I believe I
07:22
didn't say that oh I I think he probably
07:25
saved it you know so that he could be
07:28
clear so he can be sharp
07:33
and it's been very valuable it's been
07:35
around for a while but I mean I think on
07:38
a widespread level it's being picked up
07:40
by everybody now it's been understood as
07:42
something more than some kind of
07:43
religious nutty thing it's it's a system
07:48
teaching yourself how to get into a
07:50
state of relaxation that entire life I
07:56
do it if you go deep enough into those
08:02
characters you realize that your own
08:04
character is pretty thin to begin with
08:06
now and then you suddenly have this
08:09
separation and go who's Jim Carrey oh he
08:12
doesn't exist actually there's there's
08:16
just a relative manifestation of
08:19
consciousness appearing and and then
08:23
somebody gave him a bunch of ideas they
08:25
gave him a name and a religion and the
08:27
nationality and he clustered those
08:29
together into something that's supposed
08:31
to be a personality itself and you're
08:32
here to make me happy and to kind of
08:35
it's making itself happy you know it's
08:37
like one soul that's how I feel I feel
08:39
like you know people say well I have a
08:41
soul you don't have a soul there's no
08:43
you but I feel like there is a soul and
08:46
it includes everything yeah and when you
08:49
wake up in the morning and you feel like
08:51
I'm the universe you don't have to reach
08:53
for the stars you know you can just let
08:55
life happen
09:05
[Music]
09:07
as we can see from these ancient ones
09:10
from around the world there once was a
09:12
universal religion that practiced the
09:13
awakening of the third eye we will be
09:16
examining how these ancient rituals are
09:18
still being practiced today and how I
09:20
prefer to be you made to deceit people
09:22
to conform into this new one-world
09:24
religion that is being established
09:37
[Music]
09:53
people need to live spiritual lives all
09:55
of the time a person and it's good to
09:57
have access the infinite consciousness
09:58
that is available to all people but
10:01
through the five senses is delineated
10:03
keeping us trapped on a material plane
10:04
we think reality is what we can
10:06
apportion for the limited instruments of
10:08
the senses but reality is of course far
10:10
beyond that spiritual data we don't have
10:12
the correct instruments to receive it
10:13
and we live primarily in the realm of
10:15
the senses anything that we're
10:16
describing through science we're
10:18
describing for the prism of the five
10:19
limited senses our eyes can only see
10:21
between infrared light and ultraviolet
10:23
light there's light bouncing around
10:24
everywhere our ears can only hear a tiny
10:26
decibel range can't hear the noise of a
10:28
dog whistle can't hear any high-pitched
10:30
frequency sounds isn't it likely then
10:32
that there are other vibrations
10:34
frequencies energies consciousness
10:36
moving through their universe
10:38
consciousness isn't an amorphous and
10:42
expanding entity I think that we allow
10:45
our consciousness to be prohibited by
10:47
our senses prescribed by our senses
10:49
living in the realm of these five
10:51
apertures into our reality but reality
10:54
is limitless space is infinite time
10:57
eternal through yoga one can temporarily
10:59
break the bonds that chained us to the
11:02
mundane the Mondial that which is of the
11:04
earth and we can temporarily at least
11:07
receive a taste of the infinite cosmic
11:10
about it but we are just the sort of
11:11
temporary blob of atoms you know they're
11:13
endowed with consciousness for the
11:16
merest moment in infinite space
11:18
meditation and yoga these are
11:20
fundamental parts of me life I think
11:21
it's difficult these days with religion
11:24
games such a rough ride the Pope
11:26
resigned in bloody terrorism and
11:28
nonsense it's difficult to find an
11:29
access to spirituality but we are by our
11:31
nature spiritual people we don't have
11:33
access to spirituality we suffer as
11:35
individuals exercise dead human ape has
11:38
fulfilled its potential the dead human
11:40
ape has not evolved for the last ten
11:42
thousand years these are the
11:44
achievements
11:44
the dead human ape now we must we must
11:47
transform become enlightened so that we
11:49
can access the next realm of
11:51
consciousness necessary for evolution
11:53
for me what I've discovered is that
11:55
Transcendental Meditation is useful to
11:57
me not because of a unique set of
11:58
circumstances not because of my formerly
12:01
secret brilliance no but because I am a
12:03
human being and it is applicable to all
12:06
human beings and that what's really good
12:08
about that is literally everyone in this
12:10
room is one we need to recognize at some
12:12
point that within ourselves there's a
12:14
there's an infinite capacity for
12:17
connection with all things well I love
12:18
the fact that you describe it as you
12:19
have a daily access to unseen realms of
12:21
power daily access that unseen realms of
12:24
power not just me
12:27
the elite okay and most these old men
12:31
you see at Bilderberg there's a reason
12:33
they're all whacked out of their minds
12:34
they're taking DMT you think they're all
12:36
a bunch of old men they're empowered
12:38
because they were into this stuff 70
12:40
years ago they were jacking DMT 70 years
12:43
ago they were injecting it they were in
12:47
special tanks their whole their whole
12:51
sciences is is way ahead we don't even
12:54
know what they've got through the drug
12:57
use and through the electronic interface
13:00
and they believed actually right about
13:02
Ray Kurzweil all of them that they're
13:03
gonna merge with the machines blast off
13:06
into hyper dimensional space and that's
13:08
why they're so crazy that's why they
13:10
want to get rid of us that's why they're
13:11
smiling and giddy and acting so nuts
13:13
because they believe if you're a
13:15
psychiatrist or hearing this understand
13:18
whether it's real or not they believe
13:21
they are in contact with these entities
13:23
and are being directed by them that's
13:25
why they're so evil and the entities are
13:27
telling them eternal life
13:28
total power total control everything you
13:31
could ever want just kill everyone set
13:33
up a world government build this design
13:35
we're telling you build what we're
13:36
telling you build this build this let us
13:38
through build the Hadron Collider open
13:40
the dimensions let us in we're gonna
13:42
really help you we're friendly little
13:44
guys oh my god we are in so much trouble
13:48
ladies and gentlemen we've got a bunch
13:50
of lunatic elites thinking they're
13:51
talking a little grey men who are
13:53
telling them how to get eternal life
13:54
does that sound like a good idea to you
13:56
whatever it is they believe it
13:58
whether it's I mean why would there be
14:00
in every culture you can get a Chinese
14:02
person I had gone and given DMT to
14:07
tribes that had never been in human
14:09
human human contact and they'd seen a
14:12
little the little gray man the little
14:13
elves with the with with the green hats
14:15
but the Pentagon is whole hog in this
14:19
stuff for 40 50 years I mean they are
14:22
completely obsessed with it
14:23
they put out the ingredients of DMT they
14:26
put out the ingredients of LSD they put
14:29
out the ingredients of PCP they actually
14:31
wants you taking it and the question is
14:33
why do they want you taking it because
14:35
they want to open something up and some
14:37
will argue well it's good to have a
14:39
psychedelic experience and
14:40
you'll be able to reach out and expand
14:42
your consciousness but the question is
14:44
why does the Bible say don't do it
14:46
because it opens up other world
14:56
you
15:17
[Music]
15:46
[Music]
15:52
[Music]
17:47
[Applause]
17:54
[Music]
19:19
good just when they wake and broke out
19:26
we were made to come here you were made
19:28
to come here well not on the Wednesday
19:31
we all came because it was our Sabbath
19:32
and we were all excited so we came to
19:35
see what was going on and I've never
19:36
seen anything like this before I even
19:38
heard about it and I didn't know that
19:40
the Lord could work like this you never
19:43
did this kind of thing before no have
19:45
you ever seen it before
19:46
mmm I've never seen this kind of
19:48
manifestation of the Holy Spirit that
19:50
you're now experiencing yeah no you
19:54
never had no because you haven't stopped
19:59
shaking since you've been on the
20:00
platform before the platform she was
20:03
sitting over there shaking for the last
20:04
two hours yeah this is old like the last
20:08
two months this is brand new to you what
20:10
the Lord is doing and so did I by the
20:15
way I grew up in the Methodist so today
20:17
you know it's just so sad to think of a
20:20
place that says it represents Jesus
20:23
Christ literally inducing people into
20:25
the kingdom of darkness in these kinds
20:27
of experiences and that now I want to
20:29
say one other thing I don't believe that
20:30
can happen to believers I don't believe
20:33
that can happen to a Christian so what
20:36
we're talking about again is backing up
20:38
to this reality that this thing is full
20:40
of people who throw the name of Jesus
20:42
around and have jumped into the
20:43
experience because they have spiritual
20:45
needs and anxieties and they want to
20:47
belong and they want to be a part and
20:49
it's a it's a powerfully overwhelming
20:52
experience like they've never had their
20:53
lives which exposes them to Satan but to
20:56
do it in the name of Christ on the one
20:58
hand is tragic on the other hand is not
20:59
surprising because Satan is disguised as
21:01
an angel of light
21:02
I remember up in the other building when
21:06
I first came to Grace Community Church
21:07
talking to a woman
21:09
and demon started talking in different
21:11
voices to me as I was talking with her
21:14
and this one demon I I I didn't know
21:16
what I was doing I was just a kid it was
21:18
only here maybe a year and this demon
21:21
kept I said who are you and he said
21:23
Jesus Jesus Jesus kept repeating that
21:28
this particular girl flipped a desk
21:31
that's how much strength she had I knew
21:34
I wasn't talking to Jesus I knew that
21:38
so if Satan can make people think that
21:44
this is Jesus that's the ultimate
21:47
deception and he made his son pass
21:50
through the fire and observed times and
21:54
used enchantments and dealt with
21:56
familiar spirits and wizards
21:58
he brought much wickedness in the sight
22:01
of the Lord to provoke him to anger we
22:04
are called as we like to say to look
22:07
into one another's eyes in order to see
22:11
more deeply and in order to recognize
22:14
the beauty of God in every living human
22:18
being our advice is to make friends to
22:24
forward of all religions importante
22:28
porque la mia me me giardiasis efficacy
22:33
open implication him
22:35
so muchÃsimo know you support a man who
22:42
Noah Lukas umbrella here sir lucky
22:48
Proficio he no second tremors in the
22:53
veer no matter from which side of the
22:56
mountain you are climbing we should be
22:59
helping each other so that we can all
23:01
get to the same place so there is need
23:04
for people to make friends
23:08
well the never stand out reversal effect
23:13
let's see just so you could apply it in
23:18
person conduct personal friendship then
23:23
we can exchange deeper level of
23:26
experience honor other religions like
23:32
you do your own we need to get together
23:35
and know one another just to discover
23:38
and explore those commonalities that
23:43
starts a process where prejudices go
23:51
away when you are inside so born and
23:54
where basically hope is born it's not
23:58
complicated
23:59
I would say to everyone
24:02
start with sharing what we all share
24:06
which is the pleasure of conversation
24:10
one of the wonderful things about
24:13
spending time with people completely
24:15
unlike you is you discover how much you
24:19
have in common the same fears the same
24:22
hopes the same concerns I think it I'll
24:27
keep it very simple it's probably time
24:30
to talk less listen more I'm gonna he's
24:34
just a lot of that but yeah dad
24:49
[Music]
24:52
verily verily I say unto you he that
24:56
entereth not by the door into the
24:58
sheepfold but climbeth up some other way
25:00
the same as a thief and a robber but he
25:03
that entereth in by the door is the
25:06
Shepherd of the sheep to him the porter
25:08
openeth and the sheep hear his voice and
25:11
he calleth his own sheep by name and
25:13
leadeth them out and when he put it
25:15
forth his own sheep he goeth before them
25:18
and the Sheep follow him for they know
25:20
his voice and stranger will they not
25:22
follow but will flee from him for they
25:25
know not the voice of strangers this
25:28
parable spake Jesus unto them but they
25:31
understood not what things they were
25:33
which he spake unto them then said Jesus
25:36
unto them again verily verily I say unto
25:38
you I am the door of the Sheep all that
25:42
ever came before me are thieves and
25:44
robbers but the Sheep did not hear them
25:46
I am the door By Me If any man enter in
25:50
he shall be saved and shall go in and
25:53
out and find pasture the thief cometh
25:56
not but for to steal and to kill and to
25:58
destroy I am come that they might have
26:01
life and that they might have it more
26:04
abundantly I am The Good Shepherd the
26:07
Good Shepherd giveth his life for the
26:10
Sheep
26:13
you
26:15
[Music]
26:21
[Music]
26:26
arguments earlier today as to why from
26:28
the Bible people can argue Jesus is not
26:30
God I mentioned for example the verse
26:33
from the Gospel of John where Jesus says
26:35
the father is greater than I that's
26:37
interesting we need to be able to
26:38
explain now Jesus can be God while the
26:40
father is greater than he is
26:42
we verses in Mark's Gospel where Jesus
26:44
says he doesn't know when the end of
26:46
times is neither the Angels nor the son
26:48
but only the father knows when the end
26:49
of times is fascinating stuff the first
26:54
thing we need to do whenever we approach
26:56
anything when we approach the Bible when
26:58
we approach anything to see what it's
27:00
saying is we have to get its context so
27:03
let's read from the beginning now anyone
27:05
who tries to argue from the Gospel of
27:07
John that Jesus is not God has a huge
27:10
uphill battle to fight because John's
27:12
Gospel starts off with what in the
27:14
beginning was the word and the Word was
27:17
with God and the Word was God
27:21
Wow John chapter 1 in the beginning was
27:24
the word so here's the word and the
27:26
words with God so here's God and the
27:28
Word was God
27:31
what just happened mind blown how is the
27:34
word with God and also God at the same
27:37
time whatever the answer is we need to
27:41
realize that John's Gospel says somehow
27:44
the Word was with God and is God and the
27:47
next verse says he was in the beginning
27:50
an art a he was in the beginning with
27:53
God and then verse 14 says the word
27:57
became flesh and dwelt among us and we
28:00
beheld his glory oh man so much to talk
28:05
about I haven't actually answered that
28:06
question since I've been doing my recent
28:08
studies at Oxford so I'm trying to craft
28:09
in my head how to how to put this all
28:11
together the idea of the word being the
28:15
thing through which the universe was
28:17
created God's interaction with the world
28:20
was something that actually came
28:22
partially from Jewish thought so there's
28:24
a guy named Philo who's embracing kind
28:26
of Greek thought as well as being a Jew
28:28
and he's trying to think through how
28:30
does the transcendent God interact with
28:33
this world and he says it happens
28:36
through the lagos gods inter
28:40
this world is through the log-off's we
28:42
something see something similar in the
28:44
in the targets so this idea of the law
28:51
gaas the thing through which the
28:52
universe is created that's present in
28:55
that time in that context and that's
28:57
what John's Gospel is saying that the
28:59
word is the thing through which the
29:01
universe is created and we see that in
29:02
John 1 and John 1:1 and John 1:2
29:05
so from the very beginning of John's
29:06
Gospel Jesus is introduced as God look
29:09
at verse 118 by the way of John's Gospel
29:11
when you get the chance unless you have
29:13
a Textus Receptus translation if you're
29:16
using a modern translation like nasb NIV
29:18
etc you will see that 1:18 says that
29:21
Jesus is the only begotten God
29:25
interesting so very clearly from from
29:28
the beginning
29:29
that's all John's Gospel is trying to
29:31
say so in other words when we read
29:34
John's Gospel it's like John says hey
29:36
before you read this gospel read verses
29:38
1 1 through 1:18 this is the lens
29:40
through which I want you to read the
29:42
rest of my book Jesus is the creator of
29:45
the universe from the very beginning
29:47
with God and then he became flesh read
29:50
my book through that lens that's what
29:53
John is saying and so then you read a
29:55
verse like the father is greater than I
29:57
what do you do well look at the context
29:59
first look at the context because that
30:01
chapter actually shows that Jesus is
30:04
omnipresent and omnipotent when he says
30:08
the father is greater than I he also
30:10
says that when I leave whatever you pray
30:13
pray in my name and I will do it for you
30:16
hold on that means that Jesus is saying
30:19
when he's gone he can still hear your
30:21
prayers he's omnipresent and he also
30:25
says that he can answer your prayers for
30:27
you when he's gone that makes him
30:28
omnipotent so whatever Jesus means when
30:31
he says the father is greater than I we
30:33
have to read it in the context of that
30:35
chapter that he's both omnipresent and
30:37
omnipotent and what he says when he says
30:41
the father is greater than I here's how
30:42
I want to answer that okay I have to go
30:48
to the Trinity then
30:50
I have to go to Trinity all right make
30:52
sure you have a good definition of the
30:54
Trinity
30:55
I see the primary problem with people
30:57
trying to explain the Trinity and going
30:59
straight to an illustration like the egg
31:02
or the water illustration is that
31:04
illustrations are intended to
31:07
demonstrate a definition so if you skip
31:10
right over the definition and go
31:11
straight to the illustration you're
31:12
going to confuse people so we need to
31:14
have a definition for the Trinity are
31:16
you still with me by the way
31:17
okay good I know it's hot in here
31:19
there's a lot of people in here the
31:20
oxygen levels and such here is the
31:24
definition of the Trinity if you write
31:25
anything down tonight write this down
31:27
God is 1 in being and 3 in person 1 in
31:38
being and 3 in person now that is not a
31:42
contradiction see if you if I said he's
31:46
1 in being and 3 in being that's a
31:48
contradiction and I'm arguing with
31:50
myself if I say he's one in person and 3
31:53
in person that's a contradiction
31:55
God is 1 in being and 3 in person so the
31:59
next obvious question is Nabil what's
32:01
the difference between a being and a
32:04
person glad you asked thank you the
32:09
being a being is that quality that makes
32:12
you what you are or makes a thing what
32:15
it is
32:16
so being is what's ness and a person is
32:21
that which makes you who you are so for
32:26
example I am a human being that's what I
32:29
am in case you were confused I'm a human
32:31
being Who I am is not a human being who
32:35
I am is Nabeel Qureshi what I am is a
32:39
human being who I am is Nabeel Qureshi
32:41
what I am is is heart lungs its muscles
32:45
its eyes it's it's all there's tendons
32:47
bones etc that's what I am and that's
32:49
not who I am Who I am is a kind loving
32:53
caring compassionate person as my wife
32:56
would tell you immediately
32:58
Who I am is very different from what I
33:00
am humans happen to be one being and one
33:05
person that's what humans are one being
33:08
one person God is different
33:10
God is one being Yahweh is what we call
33:14
God but he's three persons Father Son
33:18
and spirit those three persons are equal
33:22
because they're all God they've all
33:24
existed from the beginning like John
33:26
chapter 1 says because they're all God
33:29
so then the question comes up well how
33:31
can Jesus say something like the father
33:33
is greater than I if they're all God and
33:35
the answer is actually quite simple
33:37
let's say I appointed to the President
33:39
of the United States let's say I said
33:40
Obama I can very accurately say Obama is
33:44
greater than I am because when he goes
33:47
somewhere he rolls with the posse he's
33:49
got he's the most powerful man in the
33:51
world people there's news conferences
33:53
when he sneezes
33:53
I mean he's greater than I am but is he
33:59
any more human than I am no he's not
34:04
he's greater than me in terms of role
34:06
but he's not greater than me in terms of
34:09
essence in the same way the father is
34:12
greater than the son in terms of role
34:15
the father is superior the son is
34:18
subjected to the father in terms of role
34:20
and we see that in 1st Corinthians 15 it
34:23
says that Jesus is going to subject
34:24
himself to the authority of the Father
34:26
so the father can be all-in-all it's
34:28
because the father is superior in terms
34:31
of role but is he any more God than
34:34
Jesus is no because they're both God
34:37
there's only one God and they're equal
34:40
in essence father/son in spirit so ok
34:44
so I'm kind of there's this is there's
34:46
so much to cover in this question I want
34:49
to go back another direction so this is
34:51
that was to help you understand how some
34:53
of those critiques simply don't work
34:55
they're either out of context or they're
34:57
missing the point why can we know that
35:00
Jesus claimed to be God I want to point
35:03
to the earliest stratum of Christian
35:06
history because the book of Revelation
35:08
for example in 2nd Peter our New
35:10
Testament books sure but they
35:12
much later than for example Mark's
35:13
Gospel or any of the Pauline epistles
35:15
there are they're all new Testament but
35:17
they were written at different times
35:20
Mark's Gospel is the earliest of the
35:22
four Gospels it was written no later
35:25
than 72 72 ad I believe it was written
35:28
probably much earlier than that but to
35:30
concede for the skeptics the latest date
35:33
possible let's say it was written no
35:35
later than 72 70 to 80
35:37
you've got the Pauline epistles Paul
35:40
died around the time of the Neronian
35:43
persecutions no later than 65 ad Paul
35:47
wrote letters that were earlier than
35:49
that I think I'm gonna have to speed
35:50
this along we've got a lot of questions
35:51
to ask in the earliest of the four
35:54
Gospels Mark's Gospel the whole thing
35:57
points to the deity of Jesus that's what
35:59
the whole gospel is about from the
36:01
beginning to the end it's all about
36:03
Jesus being God except it's revealed
36:06
slowly there's only one point where
36:09
there's a massive climax and that's John
36:12
Mark 14 62 in mark chapter 14 verse 62
36:18
finally Jesus is being told to answer
36:21
for everyone
36:22
who are you up until then whenever Jesus
36:25
was asked are you the Christ or a demon
36:29
would come out for example in mark
36:30
chapter 3 and say you are the Holy One
36:32
of God what was Jesus's response don't
36:35
tell anyone don't tell anyone
36:38
mark chapter 8 the disciples say you're
36:40
the Christ Jesus says don't tell anyone
36:44
why he was waiting for a very specific
36:47
moment to reveal who he is but we see
36:50
glimpses throughout mark chapter 2 verse
36:52
10 Jesus has the ability to forgive
36:55
people since mark chapter 2 verse 28
36:58
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath who's Lord
37:01
of the Sabbath think about it the
37:03
Sabbath is the forth of the ten
37:06
commandments yeah there's an Old
37:07
Testament - the Sabbath is the forth of
37:11
the Ten Commandments if Jesus calls
37:13
himself Lord of the Sabbath he's saying
37:15
he's Lord over the Ten Commandments who
37:18
was lord over the Ten Commandments God
37:20
in mark chapter 2 verse 10 like I just
37:23
mentioned who has authority on earth to
37:25
forgive
37:25
since God and we see this there's so
37:29
many more verses to talk about but mark
37:32
1462 we have Jesus say publicly and
37:36
boldly and loudly who he is the high
37:39
priest asked him are you the Christ the
37:40
Son of the Blessed one Jesus responds by
37:42
saying I am interesting but we don't
37:46
have time to go into that and you will
37:48
see the Son of man sitting at the right
37:51
hand of the power and coming with the
37:53
clouds of heaven now we in the 21st
37:56
century scratch our heads and we say
37:57
what the heck was that about I am and
38:00
you will see the Son of man sitting at
38:01
the right hand of the power and coming
38:02
with the clouds of heaven people who
38:04
know the Old Testament very well know
38:07
what Jesus is saying when he calls
38:09
himself the son of man coming on the
38:11
clouds of heaven he's referring to a
38:13
very specific passage of the Old
38:15
Testament anyone know Daniel 7 thank you
38:19
Daniel chapter 7 this is what's going on
38:22
in Daniel chapter 7 the prophet Daniel
38:24
is looking in the sky and he sees the
38:27
Ancient of Days he sees God the father
38:29
being worshipped by angels surrounded
38:31
throne of fire etc there's the Ancient
38:34
of Days and then in verse 13 he says
38:37
behold in my night visions I looked and
38:38
one like the Son of Man was coming on
38:42
the clouds of heaven and approached the
38:44
Ancient of Days timeout right there
38:47
the Bible says repeatedly that there's
38:50
only one who comes on the clouds of
38:53
heaven and that is Yahweh only God
38:56
according to the Bible comes on the
38:58
clouds of heaven but he's over there
39:00
who's this guy coming on the clouds of
39:03
heaven he's one who looks like a son of
39:06
man he was one who looks like a human
39:09
approaching the Ancient of Days coming
39:12
in a way only God comes interesting
39:14
let's keep going it says to him Jesus
39:17
was given glory Authority and sovereign
39:20
power people ask me how I remember this
39:22
stuff by the way
39:23
glory Authority and sovereign power
39:26
spells gasp gasp
39:29
glory Authority and sovereign power is
39:32
given to Jesus now hold on for a second
39:35
who has glory Authority and sovereign
39:38
power in heaven God yet here it's being
39:42
given to this one who looks like a son
39:44
of man interesting let's keep going
39:47
it says people of every nation and
39:49
language will serve Him whoa hold on in
39:54
heaven someone other than the father is
39:57
going to be served by people of every
40:01
nation and language well the proper
40:03
question to ask would be Nabeel what
40:05
kind of service and I would say glad you
40:07
asked because the word the true Oh which
40:11
is the Greek equivalent in the
40:13
Septuagint but even the word pale ah
40:14
because I don't know if you know Daniel
40:16
is the only book of the Old Testament
40:18
that has portions written in Aramaic so
40:20
Aramaic is the word here in Daniel it
40:22
Paila the word Paila and the word Allah
40:26
true Oh is only given to God a hundred
40:30
and thirty times throughout the Old
40:32
Testament and knew the word is used in
40:34
every single time it is used as a
40:37
service due to God alone except in this
40:40
passage or someone who looks like a son
40:43
of man who rides on the clouds of heaven
40:45
who's gonna have people of every nation
40:47
and language serve him he receives that
40:50
service due only to God then it says his
40:55
kingdom is one that will Pat not pass
40:56
away in his Dominion will never be
40:58
destroyed Wow so you have gone the
41:03
father and somebody else who looks like
41:05
a son of man who comes in on the clouds
41:07
of heaven like only God does he's given
41:09
glory authority and sovereign power of
41:11
heaven he's worshipped and served by
41:13
people of every nation and language with
41:14
the worship and service due only to God
41:16
and his dominion over heaven will never
41:18
be destroyed Jesus when he says you will
41:21
see the Son of man coming on the clouds
41:22
of heaven he's saying remember that guy
41:24
from Daniel 7 that's me that's me and by
41:29
the way whenever people say something
41:30
like Oh son of man is the human title of
41:34
Jesus and son of God is the divine title
41:37
I say no that's kind of backwards it's
41:39
kind of backwards at least from the
41:40
Jewish perspective that's backwards
41:43
because in the Jewish perspective
41:44
they're a bunch of people who are called
41:46
sons of God Adams called a son of God
41:48
Solomon is called a son of God but
41:51
there's only one Divine Son of Man in
41:53
the Old Testament and Jesus claims to be
41:56
that one but hold the phone it gets even
42:00
better Jesus says you will see the Son
42:02
of man sitting at the right hand of the
42:04
power okay what is that a reference to
42:07
that's a reference to Psalm 110 verse
42:10
one the Lord said to my lord
42:12
Yahweh said to otter and I sit at my
42:14
right hand and I will make the enemies a
42:15
footstool for your feet understand the
42:18
context of what's happening here when
42:20
God says sit at my right hand in that
42:23
Semitic context what it means is rule
42:26
the universe with me you are my heir
42:30
that's why no one in the second temple
42:34
period of Jewish history was ever
42:36
depicted sitting next to God Moses stood
42:40
next to God Enoch stood next to God no
42:43
one sat at the right hand of God because
42:46
it would mean being co-heir Koller over
42:48
the universe jesus said you will see the
42:50
Son of man sitting at the right hand of
42:52
the power coming with the clouds of
42:55
heaven now if you were to say to me
42:58
Nabil this is just Mark's Gospel how do
43:02
we know Jesus actually said this I would
43:04
say glad you asked this doctrine of the
43:10
Son of Man is found in every layer of
43:13
gospel history if you believe in QED
43:16
theory it's found in all five sources
43:18
Matthew Mark Luke and John and Q that is
43:22
why the earliest Christians worshipped
43:25
Jesus I'll toss in one last thing for
43:29
free if I gave you any more you'd have
43:30
to pay Paul in Philippians chapter 2
43:35
verses 6 through 11
43:37
says this having yourself the same
43:39
attitude and having your minds the same
43:41
attitude is that of Christ Jesus who
43:42
although he existed in the form of God
43:45
did not consider equality with God a
43:47
thing to be grasped but he emptied
43:50
himself Paul now Paul is before Mark's
43:53
Gospel and as he's writing to the letter
43:55
to the Philippians that's even
43:56
earlier and he's saying haven't
43:59
yourselves the same attitude as that of
44:01
Christ who although he was God did not
44:03
resist humbling himself by emptying
44:05
himself in becoming a man and if he
44:07
wants to make it any more clear he does
44:10
what he does in the next few verses he
44:12
says to the name of Jesus every knee
44:15
will bow and every tongue will confess
44:17
that Jesus Christ is Lord what did he do
44:21
there
44:22
he took Isaiah 45 which says to Yahweh
44:27
every knee will bow and every tongue
44:28
will confess took out Yahweh's name put
44:31
in Jesus's name to Jesus every knee will
44:34
bow and every tongue will confess the
44:36
earliest layer of Christian history that
44:40
we have access to shows Jesus being
44:43
worshiped as Yahweh himself and I have
44:46
to ask in a Jewish context where people
44:49
are very very careful not to worship
44:51
anyone but God how in the world did they
44:55
start worshipping Jesus so fast and the
44:58
best answer I can give the best
44:59
conclusion I can give is that Jesus
45:01
himself said he was God
45:06
nabil it is great to have you with us at
45:09
Christ Community Church and of course
45:11
people have been told that this is this
45:14
is not life but we've come down to
45:15
Houston to have this meeting with you
45:18
and the elephant in the room the big
45:19
question on our part as we begin this
45:21
this conversation is how are you doing
45:24
we know it's stomach cancer and it's
45:26
severe but give us an update yeah it was
45:30
a bit of a shock just a few weeks ago
45:32
found outs and we went from you know all
45:35
our plans doing all the things that we
45:37
were gonna do all of a sudden everything
45:39
came to a crashing halt so it didn't
45:42
feel any symptoms at the time except for
45:43
a little bit of indigestion and some
45:45
weight loss so to get the news stage for
45:47
stomach cancer was a huge shock it's
45:51
been getting a bit worse now I could
45:54
feel the pain pretty consistently in my
45:56
stomach it's keeping me from sleeping my
46:00
thoughts are probably doing the same
46:00
thing - yeah but learning to trust God
46:04
and walk in faith in this time and
46:06
absolute privilege to grow closer to the
46:08
Lord to be brought on my knees much more
46:12
frequently to recognize the dependence
46:15
that we have upon him it's a blessing in
46:17
a way oh we're going to be talking about
46:19
your spiritual journey and this may be
46:22
jumping ahead of this story but as it
46:24
relates to your health coming out of
46:27
Islam what are your Muslim critics say
46:32
about this you know they the word is out
46:35
that you you've got this stomach cancer
46:37
you know what's the feedback well I have
46:40
known for a long time that people are
46:42
praying for a lot to curse me one person
46:45
even emailed me and said I've been
46:47
praying for years for a lot to kill you
46:49
and now that we found out that you have
46:51
stomach cancer I kind of feel bad
46:54
because I started praying before you had
46:56
children and now you have a child so I
46:57
feel bad so at least I had one
47:00
remorseful person who says I've been
47:02
praying that but yeah this is something
47:04
that a lot of Muslims are going to see
47:06
and say you know this is the one who is
47:08
making a big deal about having left
47:09
Islam for Christ and look Allah is
47:13
in him so my prayer really is that
47:15
through my through all this the
47:17
testimony of what what Christ has done
47:19
in my life won't be won't be Dishonored
47:23
yes
47:33
[Music]
47:37
you know our God is a God of love and
47:40
that should be what keeps us driven that
47:45
should be foremost in our mind
47:47
[Music]
47:53
[Music]
47:58
you
48:21
[Music]
48:25
that'll
48:27
[Music]
48:29
where are you
48:33
[Music]
48:34
I heard your voice in the garden
48:36
[Music]
48:38
but I was afraid because I was naked
48:42
so I hid myself who told you that you
48:45
were naked have you eaten from the tree
48:48
of which I commanded you not to eat
48:57
the woman who you gave to be with me she
48:59
gave me of the tree and I ate what is
49:03
this you have done
49:08
[Music]
49:10
the serpent deceived me
49:14
and I ate
49:21
serpent
49:24
because you've done this you are more
49:25
cursed than all cattle and more than
49:28
every beast of the field on your belly
49:32
you shall go and you shall eat dust all
49:36
the days of your life and I will put
49:38
enmity between you and the woman and
49:40
between your seed and her seed he shall
49:45
bruise your head and you shall bruise
49:49
his heel
49:54
[Music]
50:01
I will greatly multiply your sorrow and
50:04
your conception in pain you shall bring
50:08
forth children your desire shall be for
50:12
your husband
50:13
he shall rule over you
50:15
[Music]
50:18
because you have heated the voice of
50:20
your wife
50:22
and have eaten from the tree of which I
50:24
commanded you saying you shall not eat
50:27
of it cursed is the ground for your sake
50:32
in toil you shall eat of it all the days
50:36
of your life
50:39
both thorns and thistles it shall bring
50:43
forth for you
50:46
in the sweat of your face you shall need
50:49
bread until you return to the ground for
50:55
out of it you are taken for dust you are
51:00
and to dust you shall return
51:05
[Music]
