00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.439
 Prayer. Our Father in heaven, grant us precisions of word and thought, Father, in true faith.

00:00:09.980 --> 00:00:15.439
 Give us the light of understanding by your Holy Spirit. Enable us to believe what you have spoken

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:21.320
 in your word, that you are one and the only true God, existing in Father, Son, and Spirit.

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.640
 Humble us, Lord, by the complexity of the matter at hand. In the present Jesus' name, amen.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.280
 Good morning. So today we begin a series on the attributes of God. I'm glad we have this time together.

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:47.240
 A.W. Tozer in his book, The Knowledge of the Holy, says the most important thing about you

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:56.260
 is what comes into your mind when you think about God. Not what you say or do or what you say about

00:00:56.259 --> 00:01:02.479
 yourself, but what you deeply in your heart conceive God to be like. Your knowledge of God.

00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:10.439
 In a way, our salvation depends on our knowledge of God. Jesus said,

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:17.980
 This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God in Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:27.280
 We must know God. Not carnal knowledge about him, but true knowledge based upon the word and spirit.

00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:33.959
 So, not just knowing about diamonds, where it's found underneath the earth and made of carbon atoms,

00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:42.500
 its value in the marketplace. But the knowledge we gain when we gaze upon a beautiful, sparkling diamond,

00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:50.560
 beholding it within its splendor. That's the kind of first-hand knowledge of God that we must have.

00:01:51.679 --> 00:01:55.459
 And a high view of God sees God as holy, high, and lifted up.

00:01:55.459 --> 00:02:01.179
 Helping us to see ourselves rightly as sinful, in a need of grace.

00:02:02.119 --> 00:02:06.479
 A low view of God is idolatry, and a mere figment of our imagination.

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.379
 A high view of God leads to humility and reverence.

00:02:11.079 --> 00:02:14.240
 A low view of God leads to shallow worship and pride.

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.079
 What you think about God affects your politics.

00:02:18.079 --> 00:02:20.519
 It affects your view of history. It affects your marriage.

00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.460
 It affects how you endure trials. How you understand persecution.

00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:26.180
 It affects everything.

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:31.960
 And in fact, your whole life is being driven by how you conceive God to be like.

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:37.340
 Everyone is a theologian. Everyone has this view of God in their minds.

00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:42.360
 So, in this class, my prayer is that we remove the blurriness of God's character,

00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:45.600
 and that it comes into sharper view,

00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:48.939
 so that our whole lives would be to live for God's honor and praise.

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:52.939
 Jeremiah 4, verse 23 says,

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.020
 Thus says the Lord,

00:02:54.359 --> 00:02:56.379
 Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom.

00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.659
 Let not the mighty man boast in his might.

00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:00.800
 Let not the rich man boast in his riches.

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.180
 But let him who boasts boast in this,

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.300
 that he understands and knows me.

00:03:06.139 --> 00:03:09.400
 And so to that end, we're going to begin today with the doctrine of the Trinity.

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.159
 And this is somewhat unusual.

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:15.280
 Normally, if you read a book about the attributes of God,

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.060
 it begins with things like God is a spirit, God is omniscient, God is holy, God is loving.

00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.659
 And Lord willing, we will get to those things.

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:28.439
 But I chose this topic first because when we discuss the attributes of God,

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.659
 they are the attributes of the triune God,

00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:34.360
 applying equally to the Father, Son, and Spirit.

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.900
 So the Trinity will help us to understand how can God be the kind of God he is.

00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.440
 Now, what is the Trinity?

00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:46.080
 Where is that chapter and verse where the Bible defines the Trinity?

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:51.460
 Well, as you probably know, the word Trinity is not in the Bible.

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:56.260
 You don't find a point-by-point exposition of the Trinity.

00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:58.600
 Does that mean it's not in the Bible?

00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:00.200
 Well, we'll see.

00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.159
 The word Trinity comes from the Latin trinitas, which means threeness.

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:11.479
 So even though the word is not in the Bible, it captures an essential truth.

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:13.339
 So let's begin with a definition.

00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:19.740
 Wayne Grudem helpfully has defined the Trinity as this.

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:23.959
 God eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

00:04:24.259 --> 00:04:27.620
 and each person is fully God, and there is one God.

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:31.459
 So each person is fully God, and there is one God.

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:34.240
 And to understand the importance of the Trinity,

00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.720
 I want to tell you a story of a heroic man in the early church,

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:44.060
 a man from Africa of great courage and faithfulness.

00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:49.240
 And this man defended the truth of Christ's deity against the raging assault of Satan.

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.379
 And this man was named Athanasius.

00:04:53.379 --> 00:05:02.219
 In Athanasius' day, many inside the church actually excommunicated those who confessed that Jesus is Lord.

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:09.079
 In fact, Athanasius himself was exiled five times, thrown out of his church, and then called back,

00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:12.659
 always standing up for the truth.

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.319
 And during that time, many older people in the church were allowing wolves to ravage Christ's flock.

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.560
 And by the year 300, the orthodoxy that Jesus is Lord was threatened with lies and heresy

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.800
 by a man named Arius.

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:33.459
 And Athanasius was only in his 20s, remarkably, when he entered into the public arena.

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.139
 And one of the examples in history where the younger generation was calling the older generation back to biblical faithfulness,

00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:43.500
 and associated with Athanasius came the Latin phrase,

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.979
 Athanasius Contramundum, Athanasius against the world,

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:52.379
 a man who stood against the world in defense of the truth.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:57.740
 So may God raise up more men and women who are more concerned with being faithful to God's word

00:05:57.740 --> 00:05:59.560
 than receiving the world's applause.

00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:01.860
 And it was indeed a dark moment.

00:06:02.719 --> 00:06:06.579
 The false doctrine from Aries spread rapidly during the early church.

00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:08.680
 And what was Arianism?

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:14.000
 Well, Aries rightly said that there was only one God.

00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:19.680
 But then disastrously, he wrongly reasoned that if Jesus was the Son of God,

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:21.519
 then he must have had a beginning.

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:23.100
 He's the Son.

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:24.920
 He must have had a beginning.

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:25.680
 Right?

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.220
 And therefore, there must have been a time where Jesus did not exist,

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.920
 and only the Father was eternal.

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:35.280
 And this came to be known as Arianism, which denies the full deity of Christ.

00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.939
 And we see these ancient heresy in modern times.

00:06:39.239 --> 00:06:43.079
 Oneness Pentecostals, who were kicked out of the assemblies of God many years ago.

00:06:43.679 --> 00:06:45.219
 Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses.

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.359
 There's nothing new under the sun.

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.699
 But by God's grace, in a moment of great triumph, in 315 AD,

00:06:51.699 --> 00:07:01.019
 the church sent representatives to the city of Nicaea to wrestle with the Scripture and to clarify their position.

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:02.459
 And the rest is history.

00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:08.039
 There they formulated the Nicene Creed, which contains these important lines.

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:15.260
 And when you read the Nicene Creed, think of begotten as meaning as the same essence as,

00:07:15.400 --> 00:07:17.480
 and essence as the same godness as.

00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.340
 So these are important lines.

00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:23.720
 We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:28.140
 begotten, so of the same essence as, the Father before all ages,

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.360
 God from God, light from light, true God from true God,

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.560
 begotten, not made, of the same essence as the Father, of the same godness as the Father.

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.280
 And later in 381, a statement was added about the deity of the Spirit,

00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:43.399
 which forms the modern Nicene Creed.

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:47.000
 And there, in the three great ecumenical creeds,

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.399
 the Apostles, the Nicene, and the Athanasian Creed,

00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.220
 are all structured around this threeness and oneness.

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.259
 And these creeds are like letters from our spiritual ancestors,

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:03.360
 warning us against dangerous theological mistakes that have threatened the church in the past.

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:07.500
 But sadly, many in our modern day have not saw fit to have

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.139
 that humble listening of the past.

00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.660
 Matt referenced last week that Ligonier study on the state of theology done for Americans.

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.279
 And it is clear that even in our own day,

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:20.819
 the doctrine of the Trinity is outright rejected by those who claim to be Christians.

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.620
 So the question was this,

00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:25.579
 Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God.

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:33.019
 In 2020, 30% of American evangelicals agreed that Jesus is not God.

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.939
 In 2022, that jumped to 43%.

00:08:35.939 --> 00:08:41.639
 That's amazing and saddening, a travesty.

00:08:42.319 --> 00:08:43.899
 Before we begin, let's ask the question,

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:44.980
 why does this even matter?

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:46.960
 Someone might object,

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:49.039
 I worship God, we don't need these distinctions.

00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.259
 It's so abstract and vague.

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.459
 People throwing around terms like essence and begotten,

00:08:55.579 --> 00:08:57.639
 co-this and co-that, it just seems so irrelevant.

00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.959
 We don't need these distinctions as long as someone worships God.

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.059
 However they conceive him to be,

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:04.439
 that's what's most important, right?

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.179
 We worship God.

00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:08.519
 Well, to the contrary,

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.759
 Jesus disagrees with that.

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.399
 Remember in Jesus' last discourse,

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.199
 on the night of his betrayal,

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.560
 before going to the cross,

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.680
 before the darkness of the crucifixion,

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:20.920
 Jesus prays for his disciples

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.460
 in his high priestly prayer.

00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.379
 And you can imagine the importance of these words.

00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:27.160
 In his hour of crisis,

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.080
 before you go away,

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.060
 what will you say to the frightened disciples?

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:32.780
 What would you say?

00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:35.000
 Stop being so anxious.

00:09:35.140 --> 00:09:36.060
 You're always so anxious.

00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:37.759
 Or I'll be right back.

00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:39.500
 You know, BRB.

00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.280
 He doesn't say those things.

00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:43.620
 Instead, to get through the crisis,

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:45.320
 Jesus is saying,

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:48.159
 I need you to have a deeper understanding of God.

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:51.000
 And he begins teaching them about the Trinity

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.340
 and the sweet fellowship

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:53.799
 between the Father, Son, and Spirit.

00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:55.259
 In John 17,

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.200
 Holy Father, keep them in your name,

00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.120
 which you have given me,

00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:00.019
 and they may be one,

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.200
 even as we are one.

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:02.539
 Or verse 22,

00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:04.320
 The glory that you have given me,

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.460
 I have given to them,

00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:07.080
 that they may be one,

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.320
 even as we are one.

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:08.980
 I in them,

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:09.759
 and you in me,

00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.740
 that they may become perfectly one.

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:14.220
 And the high priestly prayer

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:16.320
 underlines the glorious mystery of the Trinity.

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:18.139
 And so for the Lord Jesus,

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.580
 this isn't a speculative topic.

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:21.580
 It's entirely practical.

00:10:22.180 --> 00:10:23.659
 It helps us in times of suffering

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:24.620
 and persecution.

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:25.980
 And likewise,

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.440
 early Christians were passionate

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.840
 about this topic,

00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:29.860
 not because they were interested

00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:31.200
 in speculative philosophy

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.680
 or scholastic theology.

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:34.659
 No, because they wanted to worship

00:10:34.659 --> 00:10:35.340
 the Lord rightly.

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.039
 And I would venture to say

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.259
 that preserving this truth

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:39.560
 in the Nicene Creed

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.939
 helped the church persevere

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:42.839
 through years of severe persecution.

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:44.779
 And if that is so,

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.259
 friends,

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:45.939
 the church

00:10:45.939 --> 00:10:50.319
 must remove this blurriness

00:10:50.319 --> 00:10:51.179
 and provide clarity

00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.179
 on this important topic.

00:10:54.439 --> 00:10:56.319
 And many Roman Catholic apologists

00:10:56.319 --> 00:10:56.879
 will actually say,

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:57.279
 well, see,

00:10:57.339 --> 00:10:58.039
 that's why you need

00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.939
 the Roman Catholic Church,

00:10:59.019 --> 00:10:59.500
 the big C.

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:01.579
 Because you cannot prove

00:11:01.579 --> 00:11:02.459
 the Trinity from the Scripture.

00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.579
 You need the councils

00:11:03.579 --> 00:11:04.379
 and the creeds,

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:05.979
 but we must disagree

00:11:05.979 --> 00:11:06.479
 with them there.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.159
 because ultimately,

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.159
 we prove not our case,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.200
 not from the church fathers,

00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:12.080
 however helpful they may be

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:12.940
 as a humble listening

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:13.779
 of the past,

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:14.879
 but ultimately to the Scriptures.

00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:16.580
 We must look to the Scriptures

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.980
 as the foundation of our faith.

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.519
 And so our goal

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.259
 in our time together

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.480
 is to expound scripturally

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:22.360
 of the Trinity.

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:23.460
 God is one,

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:24.920
 and God is in three persons,

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:26.379
 and discuss why this matters.

00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:27.860
 And so to do this,

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:29.200
 we have to do three things

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.259
 to prove the Trinity

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:31.740
 from the Scripture.

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:32.539
 First, we must show

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.420
 that God is one.

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:35.580
 Second, three in one.

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:37.139
 The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:37.920
 are all God.

00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:39.480
 Each person is fully God.

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:40.360
 And third,

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.139
 these three persons

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:41.820
 are not identical.

00:11:42.660 --> 00:11:43.720
 And then we'll spend some time

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:44.560
 thinking about application.

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:47.020
 So point number one.

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:48.280
 God is one.

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:49.840
 God is one.

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:52.540
 So the first thing

00:11:52.540 --> 00:11:52.920
 we must say

00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:53.920
 that Christians believe,

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.980
 just as Jews believe,

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.040
 is that God is one.

00:12:00.900 --> 00:12:02.120
 And many accuse Christians

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.259
 of being polytheists.

00:12:04.059 --> 00:12:04.159
 Right?

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:04.840
 Accusing Christians

00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.039
 of believing in three gods.

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:07.500
 And while it is true

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:08.379
 that Christians believe

00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:09.240
 in a plurality,

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:10.580
 it is not polytheism.

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:12.639
 So Christians would hardly affirm

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.360
 Deuteronomy 6, verse 4.

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.139
 Hear, O Israel,

00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.100
 the Lord our God,

00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:17.960
 the Lord is one.

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.639
 You shall love the Lord your God

00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:20.319
 with all your heart,

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:21.559
 with all your soul,

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.419
 with all your might.

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.100
 So God is one.

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:24.860
 This is referred to

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:25.360
 as the Shema,

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:26.879
 because the first word here

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.159
 is the Hebrew word Shema.

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.759
 Shema, O Israel.

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.720
 And Israel was to understand

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:32.860
 there is one God.

00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:34.159
 In contrast to all

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.519
 the other surrounding nations

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.960
 who worship many false gods,

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:39.259
 Israel was to worship

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:40.639
 the one and only true God.

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.519
 There is one creator God.

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.939
 The creator God of Israel

00:12:43.939 --> 00:12:44.879
 is the God who created

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.659
 the heavens and the earth

00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:46.620
 and who redeemed the people

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.319
 out of slavery

00:12:47.319 --> 00:12:48.319
 to be his special people.

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:50.360
 But in another sense,

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:52.439
 the Shema means for Israel

00:12:52.439 --> 00:12:53.039
 not only to say

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:53.899
 that God is one,

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.340
 but God, you are the one.

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:57.100
 Like in a love relationship.

00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.759
 God, you are the only one

00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.639
 my heart desires.

00:13:00.539 --> 00:13:01.319
 The one I will love

00:13:01.319 --> 00:13:01.939
 with all my heart,

00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:03.299
 my soul, my mind, and strength.

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:05.100
 And marriage pictures

00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:06.179
 that exclusive love,

00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:07.000
 does not,

00:13:07.439 --> 00:13:08.220
 an unbreakable love

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:09.279
 between God and his people.

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.279
 And the first commandment

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:11.659
 is you shall have

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.899
 no other gods before me.

00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:14.620
 An exclusive loyalty

00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:15.720
 to Yahweh as their king.

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.259
 And the people in exchange

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:18.259
 are his treasured possession.

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:19.960
 And the heart of the Old Testament

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.179
 is a call for Israel

00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:22.740
 to worship God

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.879
 as their one and only true God

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.759
 and worship him alone.

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:26.319
 And this is a God

00:13:26.319 --> 00:13:27.519
 who will have no rivals.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.340
 His glory he will not share

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:29.779
 with another.

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:31.319
 He alone is God,

00:13:31.579 --> 00:13:32.299
 utterly unique,

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.559
 ultimate authority.

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:34.659
 At his command,

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.919
 the Red Sea was parted.

00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:36.960
 In the ten plagues,

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:37.840
 he shows his supremacy

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.120
 over all the other false gods

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:39.639
 of the Egyptians.

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.340
 He can make the sun

00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:42.620
 stand still at his word.

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.079
 I am the Lord God.

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:44.899
 That is my name.

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.439
 My glory I give to no other,

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.179
 nor my praise to carved idols.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.159
 So all glory and praise

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.659
 are due his name alone.

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.519
 And God speaks authoritatively

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:54.939
 about the past

00:13:54.939 --> 00:13:55.600
 and the future.

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.639
 He's in absolute control

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.379
 of all things.

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.420
 And there are only two possibilities.

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:00.580
 Either God is reigning

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:02.500
 or he is being ruled over.

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.820
 And the Old Testament

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:05.519
 is emphatic that God is reigning.

00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:08.759
 Isaiah 44, verse 6,

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:09.860
 Thus says the Lord,

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:10.800
 the King of Israel

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:13.300
 and his Redeemer,

00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:14.139
 The Lord of hosts,

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:14.860
 I am the first

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.580
 and I am the last.

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:16.259
 Besides me,

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:17.759
 there is no God.

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.139
 Who is like me?

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.080
 Let him proclaim it.

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.600
 Is there a God besides me?

00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:22.500
 There is no rock.

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:23.379
 I know not any.

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.860
 Or Deuteronomy chapter 32,

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:26.600
 verse 39,

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.879
 See now that I,

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:28.899
 even I am he,

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.779
 and there is no God beside me.

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.419
 I kill,

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.220
 I make alive,

00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:32.820
 I wound,

00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:33.440
 I heal,

00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:34.559
 and there is none

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.179
 that can deliver

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:36.259
 out of my hands.

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:38.899
 Because he's in full control,

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:39.860
 fully sovereign,

00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:40.620
 fully reigning,

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:41.399
 there is none

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:42.039
 that can deliver

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:43.279
 out of his hands.

00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:44.759
 There is none beside him

00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:45.600
 or over him.

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:47.980
 Isaiah chapter 45,

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:48.740
 verse 22,

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:49.679
 Turn to me

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:50.139
 and be saved

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:50.659
 to all the ends

00:14:50.659 --> 00:14:51.079
 of the earth.

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:51.939
 For I am God

00:14:51.939 --> 00:14:53.299
 and there is no other.

00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:54.799
 And so consistent

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.479
 in the Old Testament

00:14:55.479 --> 00:14:57.000
 is that there is only one God.

00:14:57.599 --> 00:14:58.419
 And the New Testament

00:14:58.419 --> 00:14:59.299
 actually affirms

00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:01.179
 that God is one.

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:03.079
 Jesus affirms

00:15:03.079 --> 00:15:04.219
 those Shema in Mark 12.

00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:05.419
 You'll recall

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:06.079
 one of the scribes

00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:06.819
 asked Jesus,

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:07.819
 Which commandment

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.819
 is the most important of all?

00:15:09.319 --> 00:15:10.039
 Jesus answered,

00:15:10.359 --> 00:15:11.179
 The most important is,

00:15:11.459 --> 00:15:12.059
 Hear, O Israel,

00:15:12.239 --> 00:15:12.899
 the Lord our God,

00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:13.579
 the Lord is one.

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.339
 So Jesus affirms

00:15:15.339 --> 00:15:16.039
 that God is one.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.639
 In 1 Corinthians 8,

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.579
 when resolving the question

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.920
 of meat sacrifice to idols,

00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:21.060
 Paul says,

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:22.280
 We know that no idol

00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:23.280
 is anything in the world

00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:24.520
 and there is no God

00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:25.040
 but one.

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:26.860
 James says,

00:15:26.900 --> 00:15:27.879
 You believe that God is one.

00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:28.420
 You do well.

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.520
 Even demons believe

00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:30.980
 and shudder.

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:33.020
 So the demons

00:15:33.020 --> 00:15:34.259
 can affirm the Nicene Creed.

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.560
 1 Timothy 2, 5,

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:37.800
 For there is one God

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:38.960
 and there is one mediator

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.980
 between God and men,

00:15:40.420 --> 00:15:40.759
 the man,

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:41.540
 Christ Jesus.

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.000
 Ephesians 4, 6,

00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.320
 One God and Father of all

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.160
 who is over all

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:48.840
 and through all

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.520
 and in all.

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.180
 Lastly,

00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:52.640
 1 Timothy 1, 17.

00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:55.160
 The king of the ages,

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:56.000
 immortal, invisible,

00:15:56.160 --> 00:15:56.740
 the only God,

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:57.720
 be honor and glory

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.720
 forever and ever.

00:16:02.420 --> 00:16:04.060
 So rewind in Genesis 1.

00:16:04.260 --> 00:16:05.300
 This one God

00:16:05.300 --> 00:16:06.540
 created all things.

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.020
 Unlike other pagan

00:16:08.020 --> 00:16:08.879
 cosmic stories

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.280
 where creation is a result

00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:11.000
 of God's fighting

00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.660
 against each other,

00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:13.460
 one God speaks the world

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:14.220
 into existence

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:15.100
 by his word.

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.240
 Ex nihilo.

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.920
 Out of nothing,

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.259
 he creates.

00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.060
 Ten times,

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.340
 you're reading

00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:21.100
 the opening chapter,

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:21.899
 and God said,

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.879
 and it was so.

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.060
 And God has supreme authority

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:25.899
 over all creation.

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:27.540
 He is not some tribal God,

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.240
 but he is the king

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.139
 whom every person

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:29.840
 will give an account.

00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:31.080
 And this is the one

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.000
 who created Adam and Eve

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.660
 in his own image.

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.740
 There is only one God.

00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:36.000
 There are not three gods.

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:37.420
 There is only one.

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:40.120
 So the response

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.120
 to this oneness, right,

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.080
 makes Muslims and Jews

00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:42.259
 say,

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:42.759
 that's right,

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.519
 God is one.

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:44.759
 So therefore,

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.000
 the Trinity is excluded, right?

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:48.720
 One plus one plus one

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:49.240
 equals three.

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:50.379
 Right?

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.319
 Father, Son, Spirit,

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:52.080
 that's three gods.

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:53.539
 If God is one,

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.960
 that excludes Jesus

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.259
 and the Holy Spirit's deity.

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:58.620
 But this is not so.

00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.939
 Not at all.

00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:00.860
 So let's look at

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.019
 the Old Testament again

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:03.439
 and examine this criticism.

00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.039
 And B.B. Warfield

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.619
 in his book,

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:07.759
 The Biblical Doctrine

00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:08.180
 of the Trinity,

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:09.359
 has an insightful comment

00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:10.180
 about the nature

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:11.200
 of the Old Testament's

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.599
 witness about the Trinity.

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.259
 He says this,

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.519
 The Old Testament

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.240
 may be likened

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.059
 to a chamber

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:20.160
 richly furnished,

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.339
 but dimly lit.

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.859
 The introduction

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:24.440
 of light

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.220
 brings into it

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:26.200
 nothing

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:26.879
 which was not

00:17:26.879 --> 00:17:27.539
 in it before,

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:28.759
 but brings out

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.680
 into clear view

00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.400
 much what was in it,

00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:33.099
 but was only dimly lit.

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.579
 That's a paraphrase.

00:17:35.879 --> 00:17:36.859
 So what he's noting here

00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:37.359
 is important,

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.299
 that the nature

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:38.779
 of the scripture

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.539
 is progressive.

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.059
 It's progressive.

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.079
 So God reveals

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.159
 himself in stages.

00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:45.099
 So the Trinity

00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:45.940
 is more clear

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:47.279
 in Isaiah

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.720
 than it is in Genesis.

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:50.039
 It's more clear

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.659
 in the New Testament

00:17:50.659 --> 00:17:51.799
 than it is in Isaiah.

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.460
 So the nature

00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:54.179
 of the scripture

00:17:54.179 --> 00:17:54.899
 is progressive.

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.319
 The light

00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:57.139
 is getting brighter

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:58.139
 and then when the light

00:17:58.139 --> 00:17:58.899
 of the New Testament

00:17:58.899 --> 00:17:59.519
 is brightest,

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:00.240
 we can go back

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:00.960
 into the Old Testament

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.240
 and see things

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.740
 that were dimly lit,

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.899
 but not at all perceived.

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:06.839
 It's like we know

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:07.519
 more now

00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:08.659
 than they did back then.

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:09.100
 Right.

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:09.940
 Yeah, exactly.

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:10.920
 Exactly.

00:18:11.320 --> 00:18:12.580
 So we can go back

00:18:12.580 --> 00:18:13.680
 into the Old Testament

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.540
 knowing what we know

00:18:14.540 --> 00:18:15.100
 about God

00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:15.640
 in the New

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.920
 and see things

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.500
 that were there

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.500
 all along.

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:20.340
 And so the church fathers

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:21.120
 thought

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:23.580
 this was very important

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:24.220
 to go back

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.259
 into the Old Testament

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:27.400
 and to see hints

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.560
 or footprints,

00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:29.400
 they would call it.

00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:30.600
 I think it's called

00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:33.180
 the vestigia trinitatis.

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.940
 So it's the footprint

00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:35.640
 or shadows

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:36.640
 of the triune nature

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.020
 of God

00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:37.840
 in the Old Testament.

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.920
 So I want to throw out

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.160
 a question for us here

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.420
 is where in the Old Testament

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:44.120
 is the plurality

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:45.180
 of God implied?

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:47.180
 And I have some here

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:47.840
 as you can see.

00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:48.640
 Genesis 1

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.940
 and the Spirit of the Lord

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.900
 hovered over

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:53.040
 and then

00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:54.620
 when

00:18:54.620 --> 00:18:57.259
 the angel of the Lord

00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:58.360
 makes an appearance

00:18:58.360 --> 00:19:01.720
 that's the pre-incarnate Christ.

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.320
 Yeah.

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:05.899
 And then God.

00:19:06.159 --> 00:19:06.939
 When does God

00:19:06.939 --> 00:19:08.179
 ever make an appearance?

00:19:09.659 --> 00:19:10.879
 The angel of the Lord

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:12.139
 is fascinating, right?

00:19:12.379 --> 00:19:13.960
 He's a fascinating figure.

00:19:14.179 --> 00:19:14.899
 He appears

00:19:14.899 --> 00:19:16.439
 in numerous

00:19:16.439 --> 00:19:18.139
 points

00:19:18.139 --> 00:19:18.659
 and angels

00:19:18.659 --> 00:19:19.839
 refuse worship, right?

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.500
 Yeah.

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:21.859
 In Revelation.

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.399
 Yeah, 22.

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.419
 The Revelation

00:19:24.419 --> 00:19:26.819
 the angel says

00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:27.539
 don't do that.

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.319
 I'm a fellow servant.

00:19:28.419 --> 00:19:29.099
 Don't worship me.

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.179
 But this angel

00:19:30.179 --> 00:19:32.299
 accepts worship.

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:32.939
 It appears

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:34.779
 he has God's name, right?

00:19:35.320 --> 00:19:37.539
 And God sends him out

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:38.140
 so it's

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.640
 he has a name of God

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.279
 but at the same time

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.600
 he's distinct from God.

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:42.620
 So a lot of people

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.460
 have seen the angel

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:43.840
 of the Lord

00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:44.279
 as being

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.180
 Jesus says

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:46.840
 in Israel

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:48.120
 the spirit of the Lord

00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.000
 was upon me.

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.019
 You know

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:51.160
 he quotes Isaiah

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:52.660
 as another

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:53.580
 yeah the spirit

00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:54.580
 of the spirit.

00:19:55.580 --> 00:19:55.820
 Yes.

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.279
 Yeah.

00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:57.120
 So we have Genesis.

00:19:58.380 --> 00:19:59.519
 We have the angel

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.120
 of the Lord.

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.080
 Is there any other place

00:20:01.080 --> 00:20:02.000
 that the plurality

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.480
 Olivia?

00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:05.000
 I don't know where

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:05.539
 somewhere

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:06.279
 in the Old Testament

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.059
 it's called

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:09.940
 the man of God

00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:11.000
 or the son of man

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.400
 like a scene

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:12.880
 where they eat

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.619
 under a tree

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:14.440
 but a lot of people

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.220
 think it's Jesus

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:16.099
 or Elijah

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:18.220
 or the plurality of God

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:19.279
 and then there's

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:19.940
 there's I think

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:21.039
 one more place

00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.420
 that's all the new trees.

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:23.440
 Yeah.

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:23.960
 Yeah.

00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:25.640
 I'm thinking

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.039
 when you say

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.819
 the son of man

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:27.180
 I was thinking

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:28.019
 of Daniel 9

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:28.960
 where the son of man

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.420
 is given all authority

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.360
 sovereign power

00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:32.220
 and glory

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.620
 and it's like

00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:33.700
 who is this son of man

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.820
 who is presented

00:20:34.820 --> 00:20:35.779
 to the ancient of days

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:36.759
 and is given

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:37.980
 an eternal dominion

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.820
 an eternal kingdom.

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.160
 It's puzzling right?

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:43.940
 So where is the plurality

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.820
 of God implied

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:45.560
 in the Old Testament?

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.400
 So we have

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.160
 the angel of the Lord

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.160
 there's the Daniel

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.220
 there's certain places

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.960
 where it seems

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.820
 that there are

00:20:52.820 --> 00:20:54.380
 a divine figure

00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:55.080
 that appears.

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.579
 Yeah.

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:02.220
 The plurality

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:03.059
 of God implied.

00:21:05.919 --> 00:21:07.740
 The servant passages

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.379
 in Isaiah

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:09.460
 come to mind.

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:09.919
 They're not

00:21:09.919 --> 00:21:12.019
 they're

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.399
 they're

00:21:12.399 --> 00:21:13.879
 very shadowy

00:21:13.879 --> 00:21:14.899
 but

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:16.599
 they're very much

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:16.899
 perfect

00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:18.119
 once Jesus comes.

00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:18.899
 Yeah.

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.099
 Yeah.

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:21.079
 The servant

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:22.460
 the servant

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:23.419
 comes

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:24.200
 and seems

00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:25.820
 to have

00:21:25.820 --> 00:21:27.960
 the attributes

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.380
 of God

00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:28.759
 the servant

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.220
 will save

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:29.560
 his people

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:30.220
 from their sins

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:30.880
 but who can save

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:31.519
 a God alone?

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:32.700
 Who is the servant

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:34.120
 that Isaiah speaks of?

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:35.539
 And Moses

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.360
 talking about

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:37.300
 there's going to come

00:21:37.300 --> 00:21:37.880
 a God

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:38.500
 will rise up

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:38.960
 a prophet

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.700
 after me

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:40.759
 and listen to him.

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.259
 Yeah.

00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:42.600
 Yes.

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:43.539
 But does that

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.300
 passage not

00:21:44.300 --> 00:21:47.120
 if you listen to

00:21:47.120 --> 00:21:47.920
 that passage

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.180
 you're just expecting

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:49.960
 a prophet

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.960
 you want to be

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.279
 God

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.039
 and I'm sorry

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:52.779
 I can't wait

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:53.019
 to say

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:54.379
 the context

00:21:54.379 --> 00:21:55.000
 of the question

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:56.379
 he was speaking

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:57.299
 about Jesus

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:58.240
 Yeah

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.960
 because Jesus

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.180
 well the prophet

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:02.139
 Deuteronomy 18

00:22:02.139 --> 00:22:03.740
 where it says

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:05.180
 Moses

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:06.180
 there will be

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:06.680
 a prophet

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.480
 like me

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.619
 and listen to him

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.099
 and the prophet

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:09.899
 will say things

00:22:09.899 --> 00:22:10.519
 that will come true

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.240
 and that's the way

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.779
 you should know

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.759
 that he's a true prophet

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:14.220
 and I think Jesus

00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:15.019
 his resurrection

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.379
 right

00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:15.720
 he says

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.220
 I'm going to be

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:17.200
 raised up on the third day

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.639
 and when

00:22:17.639 --> 00:22:18.879
 it happens

00:22:18.879 --> 00:22:20.240
 it is the

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:20.899
 the prophet

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.960
 that Moses spoke of

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:22.840
 but it's

00:22:22.840 --> 00:22:23.500
 he's

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.380
 not necessarily

00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:25.400
 the deity of God

00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:25.660
 I mean

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:26.680
 the deity of Christ

00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.280
 but it does

00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:28.519
 vindicate Christ

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:28.940
 in what

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.440
 all I said

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:29.980
 was true

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:30.960
 Yeah

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.340
 And it wasn't even yet

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:33.380
 he had to wait

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:33.940
 for David

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.460
 to come

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:35.759
 and then after David

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.380
 Jesus

00:22:36.380 --> 00:22:37.400
 came

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:37.920
 Yeah

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.340
 So Moses was talking

00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:40.180
 about two people

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:41.100
 ahead of him

00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:42.040
 Yeah

00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:43.000
 To clarify

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.540
 I don't disagree

00:22:44.540 --> 00:22:45.280
 what I'm saying

00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:46.160
 is that that passage

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:46.660
 itself

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.900
 does not talk

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.460
 about Jesus

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:48.860
 as

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:50.800
 Moses was not God

00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:51.759
 so if Moses said

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.500
 I'm a prophet

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.240
 like me

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:53.740
 Yeah

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.360
 That passage

00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:55.280
 in the context

00:22:55.280 --> 00:22:56.280
 it's actually

00:22:56.280 --> 00:22:58.220
 it's not the plurality

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:59.420
 It's not the plurality

00:22:59.420 --> 00:22:59.780
 of God

00:22:59.780 --> 00:23:00.540
 it's

00:23:00.540 --> 00:23:01.000
 it's

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.220
 it's affirming

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:03.019
 the truthfulness

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:04.100
 of what Christ said

00:23:04.100 --> 00:23:04.720
 and all that he did

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.160
 and

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.620
 yes

00:23:06.620 --> 00:23:07.140
 I agree

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:08.300
 and some of the things

00:23:08.300 --> 00:23:08.820
 he said was

00:23:08.820 --> 00:23:09.380
 I'm the Father

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:09.740
 I want

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.280
 Yeah

00:23:10.280 --> 00:23:13.700
 Tom

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:15.799
 Maybe I missed this

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.580
 I stepped out for a second

00:23:16.580 --> 00:23:16.860
 but

00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:17.940
 the

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.799
 Hebrew word for God

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:20.279
 Elohim

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:20.920
 is plural

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.680
 but it's singular

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.840
 it's used as a singular

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.120
 verb

00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:25.580
 but it's a plural noun

00:23:25.580 --> 00:23:26.620
 referring to God

00:23:26.620 --> 00:23:27.100
 which is

00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:28.319
 puzzling

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.120
 and it's

00:23:29.120 --> 00:23:30.640
 there's this plurality

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.019
 in

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:33.039
 the Godhead

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:33.480
 seemingly

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.700
 just in his name

00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:35.960
 Yeah

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.279
 You can say the same thing

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.519
 from

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:39.480
 the Shema

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.240
 you're always real

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.920
 the Lord your God

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.420
 the Lord is one

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:41.799
 because

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.579
 it uses

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:44.839
 three different names

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:45.399
 for God

00:23:45.399 --> 00:23:46.460
 it's the Yahweh

00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:47.240
 and the Elohim

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:47.960
 and then

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.139
 this is a little more complicated

00:23:50.139 --> 00:23:51.480
 but in the Hebrew manuscripts

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:52.759
 they didn't want to say Yahweh

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:54.119
 so they vocalized it

00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:54.859
 with Abed and I

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:56.579
 so it's like

00:23:56.579 --> 00:23:56.940
 Yahweh

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.339
 anyway

00:23:57.339 --> 00:23:57.720
 it's

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:58.839
 the classic

00:23:58.839 --> 00:23:59.279
 you know

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.500
 God is one passage

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:01.079
 there's actually

00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:01.940
 three names

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:02.539
 of lies

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:03.879
 for God

00:24:03.879 --> 00:24:04.259
 Yeah

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:05.319
 that is good

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:06.519
 that is good

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:08.680
 Sneaky

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.359
 hints

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.240
 I want you to get this

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.639
 but

00:24:12.639 --> 00:24:14.879
 I'm going to stick this in here too

00:24:14.879 --> 00:24:15.879
 for here

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:17.019
 like you'll get it

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.759
 someday

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.319
 Yeah

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.019
 Right now

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:20.159
 after coming out of Egypt

00:24:20.159 --> 00:24:20.779
 with all these

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:21.759
 multiple gods

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.639
 I want you to get

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:23.519
 God as one

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.339
 but

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:25.859
 later on

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.699
 remember

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.960
 that's

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.799
 that's so true

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.740
 Romans 8 16

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:31.720
 the spirit of God

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:33.480
 bears witness to our spirit

00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:34.779
 that we are children

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:37.400
 that's a reference to the spirit

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:38.080
 yes

00:24:38.080 --> 00:24:38.740
 yeah

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:40.200
 the spirit is equally God

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:40.860
 exactly

00:24:40.860 --> 00:24:41.880
 and all these

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.340
 and so many

00:24:42.340 --> 00:24:43.180
 so much more

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:44.779
 if you look in the Old Testament

00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:46.120
 right

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:47.000
 you can see

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.860
 hints

00:24:47.860 --> 00:24:48.720
 footprints

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.539
 shadows

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:51.319
 of the triune nature of God

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.980
 not explicitly stated

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:54.519
 but you can go back

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:55.039
 after the

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.920
 of the New Testament

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:56.720
 the light shines

00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.279
 and see like

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.680
 oh yeah

00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:58.879
 I see that there were

00:24:58.879 --> 00:25:00.720
 the Old Testament authors

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.680
 were not uncomfortable

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.079
 using plural forms

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.180
 of nouns

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:04.700
 for God

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:05.579
 like why is that

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:07.039
 but

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:07.259
 and

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:08.079
 one other

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.099
 is

00:25:09.099 --> 00:25:09.879
 the

00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:11.019
 Genesis 2

00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:11.859
 which we

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:12.819
 we talked about

00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:13.680
 that

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.859
 let us make man

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.859
 in our image

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:17.740
 after our likeness

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:18.700
 and

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.240
 Genesis 3

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.859
 verse 22

00:25:19.859 --> 00:25:20.759
 the Lord God said

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.759
 the man has now become

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:23.339
 like one of us

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:24.940
 knowing good and evil

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:26.240
 he wasn't talking to angels

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.019
 well and it's interesting

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:28.640
 because

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:29.759
 the

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.559
 non

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:31.240
 you know

00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:32.240
 some people could say

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.559
 look

00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:33.880
 the church fathers

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.380
 you can go and find

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:36.340
 anything you want

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:36.940
 in the Old Testament

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.799
 if you have an agenda

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:39.340
 I can go find

00:25:39.340 --> 00:25:40.000
 anything I want

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.680
 if I'm going to go

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:41.799
 in there looking for it

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:43.759
 but even non-Christians

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.160
 wrestle with this passage

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:46.180
 of Genesis 2 and 3

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:48.200
 so many Jewish rabbis

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.420
 contradict each other

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:50.640
 fumbling in an explanation

00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.640
 of what is going on

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:52.360
 in Genesis 2

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:54.740
 some rabbis point

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:56.099
 that the us and our

00:25:56.099 --> 00:25:57.120
 is Genesis

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.940
 as God speaking

00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.400
 with angels

00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.220
 and other rabbis

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:01.759
 like no that cannot be

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.980
 we did not

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.599
 God

00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:05.140
 angels didn't create us

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:05.819
 we're not creating

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.740
 the image of angels

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:07.839
 that just cannot be

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.640
 and one Jewish writer

00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:11.000
 in the 2nd century BC

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.759
 wrote a book

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.539
 called Jubilee

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.819
 and he had a lengthy

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.599
 quote of Genesis

00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:16.660
 and he just dropped

00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:17.759
 the plural self-reference

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.299
 out of it

00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:21.059
 so that's one way

00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:21.880
 of avoiding the problem

00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.140
 just avoid it

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:23.760
 by deleting it

00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:24.920
 from your quotation

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:26.380
 and I think

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:26.940
 that just shows

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.680
 the early church

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.740
 were not reading

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.900
 back into the Old Testament

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.840
 things that weren't there

00:26:30.840 --> 00:26:32.000
 if Jewish

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.200
 non-Christians

00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:33.980
 were wrestling

00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:34.820
 with the same issues

00:26:34.820 --> 00:26:35.940
 with the plurality

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:37.000
 that's implied

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.640
 and you know

00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:39.380
 the us and our

00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:40.480
 from a New Testament

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:40.960
 perspective

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.760
 we can say

00:26:41.760 --> 00:26:43.300
 this is intra-Trinitarian

00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:44.020
 conversation

00:26:44.020 --> 00:26:45.520
 so let us make man

00:26:45.520 --> 00:26:46.580
 in our image

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:48.460
 and I think

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:49.199
 when John writes

00:26:49.199 --> 00:26:49.859
 in the beginning

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:50.559
 was the word

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.179
 the word was God

00:26:52.179 --> 00:26:53.359
 was with God

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:53.759
 right

00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:55.359
 Jesus was clearly there

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:56.500
 the spirit is there

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.799
 and the scripture

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.619
 is hinting at

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:59.919
 that there is a plurality

00:26:59.919 --> 00:27:00.399
 within the God

00:27:00.399 --> 00:27:01.679
 even in their act

00:27:01.679 --> 00:27:02.419
 of creation

00:27:02.419 --> 00:27:04.579
 and so our response

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:05.099
 to the Muslim

00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:06.339
 is that there is one God

00:27:06.339 --> 00:27:07.519
 but there is a plurality

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.359
 and that is attested

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.559
 to in the Old Testament

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:11.159
 one other

00:27:11.159 --> 00:27:12.679
 one I wanted to speak about

00:27:12.679 --> 00:27:13.799
 was Psalm 110

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:15.339
 Psalm 110

00:27:15.339 --> 00:27:17.059
 Psalm 110

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.459
 was the

00:27:17.459 --> 00:27:18.059
 verse 1

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:19.500
 was Jesus'

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:20.339
 favorite verse

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.939
 in the Bible

00:27:20.939 --> 00:27:21.879
 to quote from

00:27:21.879 --> 00:27:22.759
 it's quoted

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:25.059
 in 24 separate

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.740
 or alluded to

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.859
 in 24 different times

00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:29.299
 and Psalm 110

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:30.039
 verse 1

00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:31.720
 says

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:32.419
 the Lord

00:27:32.419 --> 00:27:34.000
 says to my Lord

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.439
 sit at my right hand

00:27:35.439 --> 00:27:36.339
 until I make your enemies

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:37.059
 your footstool

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:39.799
 and the Lord

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.759
 Yahweh

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:42.259
 is speaking to

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:43.059
 another person

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:44.099
 whom he calls Lord

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:45.119
 right

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.159
 and this other person

00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:47.339
 clearly within the context

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.859
 of the psalm

00:27:47.859 --> 00:27:48.459
 is the Messiah

00:27:48.459 --> 00:27:50.819
 David's messianic son

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:52.179
 and this one

00:27:52.179 --> 00:27:53.339
 in Psalm 110

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:54.799
 who sits at God's right hand

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.059
 who triumphs over his enemies

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:57.219
 he is a priest

00:27:57.219 --> 00:27:58.299
 in the order of Melchizedek

00:27:58.299 --> 00:27:59.939
 he has divine power

00:27:59.939 --> 00:28:01.179
 to judge the nations

00:28:01.179 --> 00:28:02.059
 to shatter kings

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:02.719
 in his wrath

00:28:02.719 --> 00:28:04.239
 so the Lord

00:28:04.239 --> 00:28:05.299
 is speaking to the Lord

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:06.059
 this Messiah

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:07.319
 it's a puzzling

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:08.639
 reality

00:28:08.639 --> 00:28:09.559
 what is going on

00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:10.479
 and Jesus quotes this

00:28:10.479 --> 00:28:11.000
 in his dispute

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.759
 with the Pharisees

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:13.359
 who are attacking him

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:14.479
 Jesus says to the Pharisees

00:28:14.479 --> 00:28:15.819
 who do you think

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:16.039
 of the

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:17.059
 what do you think

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:17.519
 of the Christ

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.299
 whose son is he

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:20.019
 they answer

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:20.819
 the son of David

00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:22.139
 then he said

00:28:22.139 --> 00:28:23.240
 how is it

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:23.779
 that David

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.979
 in the spirit

00:28:24.979 --> 00:28:26.199
 calls the Messiah

00:28:26.199 --> 00:28:26.779
 Lord

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:28.679
 and I think

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:29.599
 it's the same

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.859
 it's the same

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:32.039
 Yahweh speaks

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:32.659
 to Adonai

00:28:32.659 --> 00:28:34.740
 in Psalm 110

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:36.159
 and I don't know

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:36.799
 how fully

00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.619
 David understood

00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:38.639
 this

00:28:38.639 --> 00:28:39.879
 what he was saying

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.040
 but under the

00:28:41.040 --> 00:28:41.540
 inspiration

00:28:41.540 --> 00:28:42.120
 of the spirit

00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:42.620
 he's somehow

00:28:42.620 --> 00:28:43.340
 saying that

00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:43.820
 the Lord

00:28:43.820 --> 00:28:44.200
 is speaking

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.820
 to another

00:28:44.820 --> 00:28:45.280
 person

00:28:45.280 --> 00:28:45.840
 whom is called

00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:46.200
 Lord

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.540
 the God

00:28:47.540 --> 00:28:48.500
 the Father

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:48.980
 is speaking

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:49.540
 to the Son

00:28:49.540 --> 00:28:50.680
 sit at my right

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:50.980
 hand

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.560
 until I make

00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:51.980
 your enemies

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.640
 your footstool

00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.080
 in Isaiah 9

00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:54.560
 this Messiah

00:28:54.560 --> 00:28:54.960
 is called

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.700
 Mighty God

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:56.640
 Everlasting Father

00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.340
 Prince of Peace

00:28:57.340 --> 00:28:58.380
 and again

00:28:58.380 --> 00:28:59.000
 this Messiah

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.440
 will save

00:28:59.440 --> 00:28:59.740
 his people

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:00.420
 from their sins

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:01.440
 in Isaiah 53

00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:02.480
 but who can save

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.140
 from our sins

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.860
 but God alone

00:29:03.860 --> 00:29:06.000
 who is this Messiah

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.500
 that David

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.100
 and Isaiah

00:29:07.100 --> 00:29:07.660
 speak about

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:10.040
 so those

00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:10.680
 are the hints

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.519
 it's there

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:12.259
 but it's

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:13.100
 you know

00:29:13.100 --> 00:29:13.700
 we don't know

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:14.320
 it could be

00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:15.259
 is God

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:15.980
 three persons

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:16.980
 is God

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.340
 more than

00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:17.840
 three persons

00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:18.420
 from the Old Testament

00:29:18.420 --> 00:29:18.920
 we can't

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.400
 we can't say

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:19.840
 for sure

00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:21.360
 but one of the

00:29:21.360 --> 00:29:22.200
 remarkable things

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:22.860
 is that once you

00:29:22.860 --> 00:29:23.700
 open the pages

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:24.440
 of the New Testament

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:24.980
 the Trinity

00:29:24.980 --> 00:29:25.700
 isn't so much

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:26.380
 explained

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:28.380
 but it's assumed

00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:29.120
 throughout the

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:29.880
 whole narrative

00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:31.519
 and so what was

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.580
 vaguely hinted at

00:29:32.580 --> 00:29:33.220
 in the Old Testament

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:34.160
 now becomes clear

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:35.660
 you know

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:36.200
 some say

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:37.220
 Jesus never claimed

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:37.660
 to be God

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.920
 except in a few

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:39.799
 lines in John's

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:40.680
 Gospel that were

00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:41.400
 added much later

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.339
 is that right

00:29:44.339 --> 00:29:46.059
 does the New Testament

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:47.120
 affirm Jesus deity

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:49.160
 yes

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:50.600
 yes

00:29:50.600 --> 00:29:53.240
 yes they do

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.680
 yes

00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.559
 there's scholars

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.200
 that now

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.920
 are acknowledging

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.720
 that ancient

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:04.180
 Judaism

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:05.079
 did have

00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:06.980
 that is pluralistic

00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:07.039
 pluralistic

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.379
 conception

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:09.960
 of their

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.720
 one God

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.599
 and that

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.740
 the phenomenon

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.299
 of Judaism

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:14.879
 denying that

00:30:14.879 --> 00:30:15.559
 is a recent

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:16.339
 it's a recent

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.779
 phenomenon

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:18.279
 it's post-Christian

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:19.559
 that I would say

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:20.379
 was in response

00:30:20.379 --> 00:30:20.960
 to Christianity

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.240
 but if you read

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.339
 the first century

00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:24.039
 Jewish text

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.579
 first century

00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:25.379
 BC AD

00:30:25.379 --> 00:30:26.839
 they seem to all

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.619
 acknowledge this

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:28.779
 many of them

00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:29.019
 anyway

00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:29.679
 and then

00:30:29.679 --> 00:30:30.740
 that's lost

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.539
 once you go through

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:32.139
 the Christian

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:33.240
 centuries

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.080
 so I think

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:36.520
 they knew it

00:30:36.520 --> 00:30:37.380
 it wasn't

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:38.140
 they may not have

00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:38.720
 the exact

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.400
 conception

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:39.840
 you know

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:40.680
 a precise

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.100
 trinity

00:30:41.100 --> 00:30:42.259
 but they knew

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:43.080
 there was this

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:44.060
 plurality

00:30:44.060 --> 00:30:44.660
 it wasn't just

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.280
 David said

00:30:45.280 --> 00:30:45.520
 something

00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:46.080
 everybody forgot

00:30:46.080 --> 00:30:46.340
 it

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:46.640
 I think

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:47.380
 they were

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.759
 aware

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.420
 yeah

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:49.779
 that's a good

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.059
 point

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:50.700
 so even

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:51.619
 historically

00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:53.460
 this plurality

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:54.000
 has been

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.619
 part of the

00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:55.619
 Jewish faith

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:56.440
 and it's not

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:56.819
 something the

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:57.379
 church fathers

00:30:57.379 --> 00:30:58.099
 just kind of

00:30:58.099 --> 00:30:58.579
 came up with

00:30:58.579 --> 00:30:59.259
 that thin air

00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:00.059
 yeah

00:31:00.059 --> 00:31:02.019
 I think we can

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:02.640
 emphatically say

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.099
 yes

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:04.599
 the New Testament

00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:05.140
 affirms

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:06.259
 Jesus DHU

00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:08.779
 Pastor Matt

00:31:08.779 --> 00:31:09.240
 preached on

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.000
 Mark 2

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.059
 a couple weeks

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:11.339
 ago

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:12.359
 Jesus is Lord

00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:12.900
 of the Sabbath

00:31:12.900 --> 00:31:13.539
 he's Lord

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.480
 over God's law

00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.359
 Jesus receives

00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:16.859
 worship

00:31:16.859 --> 00:31:17.959
 after the

00:31:17.959 --> 00:31:18.379
 resurrection

00:31:18.379 --> 00:31:19.079
 Thomas says

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.539
 my Lord

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:20.159
 and my God

00:31:20.159 --> 00:31:21.879
 Jesus doesn't

00:31:21.879 --> 00:31:22.240
 say look

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.899
 I'm your Lord

00:31:22.899 --> 00:31:23.339
 but not your

00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:23.659
 God

00:31:23.659 --> 00:31:24.139
 what are you

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.439
 doing

00:31:24.439 --> 00:31:25.279
 he says

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.759
 no no no

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.379
 he accepts

00:31:26.379 --> 00:31:26.799
 worship

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.379
 he's like

00:31:27.379 --> 00:31:27.679
 yes

00:31:27.679 --> 00:31:28.899
 he accepts

00:31:28.899 --> 00:31:29.199
 worship

00:31:29.199 --> 00:31:29.719
 that is due

00:31:29.719 --> 00:31:30.359
 God alone

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:31.179
 and in

00:31:31.179 --> 00:31:31.559
 Revelation

00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:32.039
 the Lamb

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.559
 on the throne

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:33.199
 is worshipped

00:31:33.199 --> 00:31:34.479
 he receives

00:31:34.479 --> 00:31:35.019
 that which is

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:36.240
 due to God

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.579
 alone

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:37.859
 he not only

00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:38.619
 receives worship

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:39.279
 he takes on

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:40.139
 divine titles

00:31:40.139 --> 00:31:41.159
 right

00:31:41.159 --> 00:31:41.959
 he is given

00:31:41.959 --> 00:31:42.299
 the name

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:42.759
 Savior

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:44.179
 but Isaiah

00:31:44.179 --> 00:31:44.779
 43

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:46.539
 God says

00:31:46.539 --> 00:31:47.279
 I even

00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:47.740
 I am the

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:47.960
 Lord

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.619
 apart from

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:48.779
 me

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:49.279
 there is

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.879
 no Savior

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:51.139
 and Jesus

00:31:51.139 --> 00:31:51.940
 the name

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.319
 Jesus

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.000
 literally means

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:54.180
 Savior

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:55.039
 Savior

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:56.379
 and not only

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:56.720
 Savior

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:57.039
 but he takes

00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:57.279
 on the name

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.740
 of Shepherd

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:58.039
 right

00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:58.619
 John 10

00:31:58.619 --> 00:31:59.659
 and David

00:31:59.659 --> 00:32:00.440
 would say

00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:00.899
 the Lord

00:32:00.899 --> 00:32:01.279
 is my

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.639
 shepherd

00:32:01.639 --> 00:32:04.000
 and there's

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.500
 many other

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:05.379
 titles that

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:06.039
 Jesus takes

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.379
 on

00:32:06.379 --> 00:32:07.180
 Redeemer

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:07.680
 the Son

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.139
 of Man

00:32:08.139 --> 00:32:08.519
 the True

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:08.819
 Vine

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:09.420
 the Bridegroom

00:32:09.420 --> 00:32:10.399
 clearly alluding

00:32:10.399 --> 00:32:11.299
 to God's

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:12.759
 work in the

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:13.259
 Old Testament

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:15.359
 the I am

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:15.779
 statements

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:16.059
 in the

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:16.480
 Gospel

00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.779
 of John

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:18.339
 are filled

00:32:18.339 --> 00:32:19.019
 with allusions

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:19.599
 to Jesus

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:20.160
 deity

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:21.799
 one of the

00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:22.220
 I am

00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:22.740
 statements

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:23.539
 for example

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:24.140
 is I am

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:24.519
 the light

00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:25.220
 of the world

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:27.619
 and that

00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:28.799
 gives life

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.379
 to the world

00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:30.640
 he's recalling

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:31.119
 the wilderness

00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:32.000
 experience

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.799
 and the

00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:33.579
 pillar of fire

00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:34.000
 that led

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.519
 Israel

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.200
 through

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.559
 the desert

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.440
 so any

00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:37.920
 listener

00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.539
 would have

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:38.960
 understood

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.680
 that light

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.299
 was a picture

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:40.680
 of the light

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:40.980
 of God

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:41.420
 himself

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:42.519
 and the

00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:42.720
 light

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.060
 metaphor

00:32:43.060 --> 00:32:43.380
 is where

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:43.680
 the light

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.100
 of God's

00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:44.360
 glory

00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:44.920
 is present

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.100
 as God

00:32:46.100 --> 00:32:46.560
 led the

00:32:46.560 --> 00:32:46.840
 people

00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:47.420
 through the

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:47.759
 wilderness

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.580
 to salvation

00:32:48.580 --> 00:32:49.440
 Jesus

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:50.100
 saying I

00:32:50.100 --> 00:32:50.480
 will lead

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:50.860
 my people

00:32:50.860 --> 00:32:51.259
 out of

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.600
 darkness

00:32:51.600 --> 00:32:53.340
 into the

00:32:53.340 --> 00:32:53.840
 light of

00:32:53.840 --> 00:32:54.279
 salvation

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.759
 through my

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.140
 life and

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.440
 death

00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:56.660
 and so

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:57.560
 these I am

00:32:57.560 --> 00:32:57.960
 statements

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.860
 are alluding

00:32:58.860 --> 00:32:59.920
 to God's

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.600
 work in the

00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:01.120
 Old Testament

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:02.900
 and he

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.380
 not only takes

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:04.440
 on titles

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:05.060
 like Savior

00:33:05.060 --> 00:33:05.460
 Shepherd

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:05.880
 Redeemer

00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:06.320
 and Lord

00:33:06.320 --> 00:33:07.200
 he has

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:08.120
 divine works

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:09.400
 right

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:10.060
 he forgives

00:33:10.060 --> 00:33:10.580
 sins

00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:11.539
 but who

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:12.000
 can forgive

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.339
 sins

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:12.720
 but God

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.099
 alone

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:14.019
 as a Pharisee

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:14.579
 is recognized

00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:16.119
 they were

00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:16.399
 rights

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:17.019
 only God

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.519
 can forgive

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:17.879
 sins

00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:18.599
 because ultimately

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:19.059
 as David

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.480
 said

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:20.720
 I've sinned

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:21.220
 against God

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.559
 and him

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:21.879
 alone

00:33:21.879 --> 00:33:23.039
 my sin

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:23.259
 against

00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:23.740
 Bathsheba

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.899
 and Uriah

00:33:24.899 --> 00:33:26.019
 he stops

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:26.460
 the wind

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:26.779
 at his

00:33:26.779 --> 00:33:27.199
 word

00:33:27.199 --> 00:33:28.199
 what kind

00:33:28.199 --> 00:33:28.539
 of man

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:28.980
 is this

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.359
 says the

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:29.759
 disciples

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.299
 even the

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:30.559
 winds

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:31.000
 and sea

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.759
 obey him

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:32.960
 answer

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.759
 he's God

00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.119
 right

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:35.099
 he's God

00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:35.579
 he even

00:33:35.579 --> 00:33:36.220
 commands

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:37.960
 the forces

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.460
 of nature

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:39.860
 and there's

00:33:39.860 --> 00:33:40.360
 more we can

00:33:40.360 --> 00:33:40.799
 say

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.799
 the apostles

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:42.400
 consistently

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:42.860
 gave the

00:33:42.860 --> 00:33:43.480
 title Lord

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:43.920
 to Jesus

00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:44.360
 in their

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:44.819
 letters

00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:46.240
 1 Corinthians

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:47.120
 8-6

00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:48.420
 Paul says

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:49.279
 yet for us

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:49.559
 there is

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:50.240
 one God

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:51.039
 the Father

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:51.819
 from whom

00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:52.420
 are all

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.860
 things

00:33:52.860 --> 00:33:53.240
 and for

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.660
 whom we

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:54.100
 exist

00:33:54.100 --> 00:33:54.920
 and one

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:55.279
 Lord

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:56.259
 Jesus Christ

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:56.680
 through whom

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.120
 are all

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:57.440
 things

00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.940
 and through

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.259
 whom we

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:58.700
 exist

00:33:58.700 --> 00:34:01.039
 and it's

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.340
 interesting

00:34:01.340 --> 00:34:01.960
 that is

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.900
 1 Corinthians

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.579
 8-6

00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:04.259
 people will

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:04.600
 point out

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.039
 that is

00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:05.579
 the Shema

00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:08.000
 and Paul

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.679
 is inserting

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:09.299
 Jesus

00:34:09.299 --> 00:34:11.059
 into that

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:11.960
 as describing

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.340
 him as

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:12.699
 Lord

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.880
 there is

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.960
 one God

00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:16.259
 in 1 Corinthians

00:34:16.259 --> 00:34:16.659
 8-6

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:17.900
 so Paul

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.460
 calls him

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:18.900
 Lord

00:34:18.900 --> 00:34:20.019
 through whom

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:20.799
 all things

00:34:20.799 --> 00:34:21.340
 exist

00:34:21.340 --> 00:34:23.039
 and the word

00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.639
 Lord in the

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.179
 New Testament

00:34:24.179 --> 00:34:25.900
 is the

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.659
 Hebrew

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:28.299
 word

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:29.079
 translated

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:29.559
 into the

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:29.900
 Greek

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:31.079
 Kyrios

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:32.759
 Kyrios

00:34:32.759 --> 00:34:33.860
 and that is

00:34:33.860 --> 00:34:34.219
 the word

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:34.759
 that is used

00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:35.520
 to describe

00:34:35.520 --> 00:34:35.920
 Jesus

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:36.540
 over and

00:34:36.540 --> 00:34:37.220
 over again

00:34:37.220 --> 00:34:38.260
 and that

00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:38.920
 same word

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.300
 is used

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:40.300
 over 6,000

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:41.000
 times in

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:41.260
 the Old

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:41.620
 Testament

00:34:41.620 --> 00:34:42.240
 to describe

00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:42.700
 God

00:34:42.700 --> 00:34:44.940
 so Jesus

00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:45.620
 is fully

00:34:45.620 --> 00:34:46.140
 God

00:34:46.140 --> 00:34:48.300
 and you

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:48.800
 will call

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.800
 Jesus

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.400
 in John

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.720
 8

00:34:50.720 --> 00:34:51.640
 calls himself

00:34:51.640 --> 00:34:52.480
 Yahweh

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.420
 before Abraham

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:55.600
 was I am

00:34:55.600 --> 00:34:57.100
 and the Pharisees

00:34:57.100 --> 00:34:57.600
 understood what

00:34:57.600 --> 00:34:58.080
 he was saying

00:34:58.080 --> 00:34:58.660
 because they

00:34:58.660 --> 00:34:59.060
 picked up

00:34:59.060 --> 00:34:59.660
 stones to

00:34:59.660 --> 00:35:00.980
 kill him

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:01.580
 for blasphemy

00:35:01.580 --> 00:35:02.040
 right

00:35:02.040 --> 00:35:02.980
 they would

00:35:02.980 --> 00:35:03.500
 be right

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:04.559
 he's calling

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:04.880
 himself

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.219
 God

00:35:05.219 --> 00:35:05.760
 except that

00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:05.940
 it was

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:06.260
 true

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:06.900
 Jesus

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.880
 was God

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:12.239
 understandable

00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:12.900
 reaction

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:14.280
 you're only

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:15.139
 50 years old

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:15.519
 you're saying

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:15.820
 you saw

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.179
 Abraham

00:35:16.179 --> 00:35:16.940
 face to

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:17.320
 face

00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:18.079
 he existed

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.880
 2,000 years

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.219
 ago

00:35:19.219 --> 00:35:20.539
 and Jesus

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:20.960
 was saying

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.739
 I am God

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.019
 and they

00:35:22.019 --> 00:35:22.340
 understood

00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:22.760
 what he was

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.039
 saying

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:23.360
 because they

00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:23.739
 picked up

00:35:23.739 --> 00:35:24.079
 stones

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:24.460
 to kill

00:35:24.460 --> 00:35:24.719
 him

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:25.139
 God

00:35:25.139 --> 00:35:25.639
 came to

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:26.000
 earth

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:26.559
 and he

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:26.819
 killed

00:35:26.819 --> 00:35:27.379
 him

00:35:27.379 --> 00:35:27.859
 yes

00:35:27.859 --> 00:35:29.939
 his people

00:35:29.939 --> 00:35:30.279
 knew him

00:35:30.279 --> 00:35:30.599
 not

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.099
 yes

00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:35.219
 yes

00:35:35.219 --> 00:35:35.779
 Jesus

00:35:35.779 --> 00:35:37.299
 yes

00:35:37.299 --> 00:35:37.899
 yes

00:35:37.899 --> 00:35:37.939
 yes

00:35:37.939 --> 00:35:39.859
 the love

00:35:39.859 --> 00:35:40.279
 of God

00:35:40.279 --> 00:35:41.699
 Jesus is the

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:42.219
 image of the

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:42.839
 invisible God

00:35:42.839 --> 00:35:43.599
 as Hebrews 1

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:43.980
 says

00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:45.139
 so

00:35:45.139 --> 00:35:46.399
 the eternal

00:35:46.399 --> 00:35:46.919
 son of God

00:35:46.919 --> 00:35:47.379
 light from

00:35:47.379 --> 00:35:47.599
 light

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.179
 true God

00:35:48.179 --> 00:35:48.599
 from true

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:48.919
 God

00:35:48.919 --> 00:35:50.239
 we don't need

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.779
 to pick a

00:35:50.779 --> 00:35:51.239
 couple verses

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:51.819
 from John

00:35:51.819 --> 00:35:52.219
 to prove

00:35:52.219 --> 00:35:52.759
 Jesus deity

00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:53.320
 it is

00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:53.560
 throughout

00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:54.100
 the entire

00:35:54.100 --> 00:35:54.780
 New Testament

00:35:54.780 --> 00:35:56.260
 so let's

00:35:56.260 --> 00:35:56.560
 talk about

00:35:56.560 --> 00:35:57.160
 the Holy Spirit

00:35:57.160 --> 00:35:57.820
 the third

00:35:57.820 --> 00:35:58.480
 distinct person

00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:58.920
 from the

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.220
 Trinity

00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:00.980
 of the

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.380
 one God

00:36:01.380 --> 00:36:02.600
 the Father

00:36:02.600 --> 00:36:03.100
 is God

00:36:03.100 --> 00:36:03.640
 Jesus

00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:04.240
 is God

00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:04.520
 and the

00:36:04.520 --> 00:36:05.040
 Holy Spirit

00:36:05.040 --> 00:36:05.520
 is God

00:36:05.520 --> 00:36:05.900
 and these

00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:06.420
 are distinct

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:06.880
 persons

00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.460
 despite there

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:07.840
 being only

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:08.300
 one God

00:36:08.300 --> 00:36:09.220
 I hope

00:36:09.220 --> 00:36:09.580
 your mind

00:36:09.580 --> 00:36:09.900
 is just

00:36:09.900 --> 00:36:10.480
 kind of

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:11.100
 getting a little

00:36:11.100 --> 00:36:11.660
 confused now

00:36:11.660 --> 00:36:12.440
 how can that

00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:12.940
 be possible

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.340
 there being

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:13.920
 one God

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:14.180
 and three

00:36:14.180 --> 00:36:14.480
 distinct

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.860
 persons

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:15.300
 in the

00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:16.380
 one God

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:17.860
 and some

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:18.180
 people will

00:36:18.180 --> 00:36:18.420
 say I

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:18.760
 don't really

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:19.140
 get this

00:36:19.140 --> 00:36:19.700
 whole business

00:36:19.700 --> 00:36:20.080
 about the

00:36:20.080 --> 00:36:20.580
 Holy Spirit

00:36:20.580 --> 00:36:21.840
 that's just

00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.240
 the word

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:22.559
 for the

00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:22.859
 breath

00:36:22.859 --> 00:36:23.299
 the wind

00:36:23.299 --> 00:36:23.819
 the power

00:36:23.819 --> 00:36:24.279
 of God

00:36:24.279 --> 00:36:24.639
 working

00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:25.039
 through the

00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:25.419
 world

00:36:25.419 --> 00:36:27.019
 right

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.599
 they don't

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:28.879
 see the

00:36:28.879 --> 00:36:29.759
 Holy Spirit

00:36:29.759 --> 00:36:30.379
 as a

00:36:30.379 --> 00:36:30.719
 distinct

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:31.219
 person

00:36:31.219 --> 00:36:32.619
 and Christians

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.199
 who grew up

00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:33.439
 with the

00:36:33.439 --> 00:36:34.000
 KJV

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.419
 anyone

00:36:34.419 --> 00:36:34.799
 grew up

00:36:34.799 --> 00:36:34.979
 with the

00:36:34.979 --> 00:36:35.459
 KJV

00:36:35.459 --> 00:36:35.879
 here

00:36:35.879 --> 00:36:37.279
 KJV

00:36:37.279 --> 00:36:38.559
 there you

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:38.819
 go

00:36:38.819 --> 00:36:39.859
 I'm

00:36:39.859 --> 00:36:40.039
 familiar

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:40.279
 with the

00:36:40.279 --> 00:36:40.439
 term

00:36:40.439 --> 00:36:41.139
 Holy Ghost

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:43.119
 and the

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:43.579
 Holy Ghost

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:43.979
 it has

00:36:43.979 --> 00:36:45.000
 connotations

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:46.059
 of distance

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:46.759
 of an

00:36:46.759 --> 00:36:47.439
 impersonal

00:36:47.439 --> 00:36:47.839
 God

00:36:47.839 --> 00:36:48.639
 who's a

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:49.059
 ghost

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:50.359
 the Holy Ghost

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.099
 right

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:52.559
 it's like

00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:53.059
 who is

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:53.620
 the Spirit

00:36:53.620 --> 00:36:54.039
 I mean

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:55.400
 and

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.400
 in many

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:56.900
 passages

00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:57.500
 the Holy

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:57.960
 Spirit

00:36:57.960 --> 00:36:58.519
 is spoken

00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:58.780
 of

00:36:58.780 --> 00:36:59.760
 impersonal

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.240
 terms

00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:01.500
 we tend

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:01.860
 to think

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:02.400
 of the

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:02.780
 Holy Spirit

00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:03.120
 as a

00:37:03.120 --> 00:37:03.559
 force

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:04.340
 but the

00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:04.760
 Holy Spirit

00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:05.000
 is a

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:05.300
 person

00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:05.680
 right

00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:06.200
 and frequently

00:37:06.200 --> 00:37:06.480
 does

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:06.920
 activities

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:07.460
 that belong

00:37:07.460 --> 00:37:08.059
 to personhood

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:09.240
 so right

00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:09.620
 before the

00:37:09.620 --> 00:37:10.079
 cross

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:10.880
 Jesus

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:11.440
 expresses

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:11.640
 an

00:37:11.640 --> 00:37:11.940
 internal

00:37:11.940 --> 00:37:12.300
 intimacy

00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:12.620
 with the

00:37:12.620 --> 00:37:12.960
 Father

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:13.740
 and he

00:37:13.740 --> 00:37:14.880
 promises

00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:15.420
 to send

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:15.860
 the Holy

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.220
 Spirit

00:37:16.220 --> 00:37:16.800
 onto the

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:17.180
 church

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:18.159
 one

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:18.539
 distinct

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:18.899
 from both

00:37:18.899 --> 00:37:19.059
 the

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.319
 Father

00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:19.719
 and the

00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:20.019
 Son

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:20.859
 and the

00:37:20.859 --> 00:37:21.259
 Holy Spirit

00:37:21.259 --> 00:37:21.639
 is the

00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:22.299
 paraclete

00:37:22.299 --> 00:37:23.259
 the helper

00:37:23.259 --> 00:37:24.059
 the advocate

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:25.799
 it says

00:37:25.799 --> 00:37:26.159
 that

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:26.960
 God

00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:27.639
 decrees

00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.399
 Jesus

00:37:28.399 --> 00:37:29.460
 accomplishes

00:37:29.460 --> 00:37:30.219
 and the

00:37:30.219 --> 00:37:30.859
 Holy Spirit

00:37:30.859 --> 00:37:31.379
 applies

00:37:31.379 --> 00:37:32.319
 to salvation

00:37:32.319 --> 00:37:33.199
 yes

00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:34.739
 it's all

00:37:34.739 --> 00:37:35.460
 Trinitarian

00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.179
 in the end

00:37:36.179 --> 00:37:36.619
 yes

00:37:36.619 --> 00:37:37.079
 our whole

00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:37.480
 faith is

00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:37.940
 Trinitarian

00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:38.980
 yes

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:40.419
 now why

00:37:40.419 --> 00:37:40.879
 did Jesus

00:37:40.879 --> 00:37:42.179
 have to

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:42.480
 leave

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:42.940
 before the

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:43.419
 Holy Spirit

00:37:43.419 --> 00:37:44.119
 comes

00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:45.399
 well

00:37:45.399 --> 00:37:45.819
 that's easy

00:37:45.819 --> 00:37:46.399
 because God

00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:46.820
 wanted it to

00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:47.059
 be that

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:47.260
 way

00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:51.860
 I actually

00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:52.320
 don't know

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:52.840
 why

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.840
 Jesus had

00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:55.200
 to leave

00:37:55.200 --> 00:37:55.559
 before the

 Spirit

00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:56.240
 comes

00:37:56.240 --> 00:37:56.840
 maybe it's

00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:57.380
 because Jesus

00:37:57.380 --> 00:37:57.880
 was

00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:00.200
 yes

00:38:00.200 --> 00:38:00.820
 yes

00:38:00.820 --> 00:38:01.539
 yes

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:03.660
 yes

00:38:03.660 --> 00:38:04.320
 yes

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.099
 yes

00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:05.760
 yeah

00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:07.059

 at a

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:07.820
 Pentecost

00:38:07.820 --> 00:38:08.139

00:38:08.139 --> 00:38:08.360
 Spirit

00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:08.720
 is poured

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:08.980
 out

00:38:08.980 --> 00:38:10.500
 but yeah

00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:11.079
 so there's

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:11.619

00:39:41.839 --> 00:39:42.359
 creation

00:39:42.359 --> 00:39:42.799
 where

00:39:42.799 --> 00:39:42.960
 the

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:43.139
 Spirit

00:39:43.139 --> 00:39:43.299
 is

00:39:43.299 --> 00:39:43.619
 hovering

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:43.960
 over

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:44.319
 the

00:39:44.319 --> 00:39:44.819
 waters

00:39:44.819 --> 00:39:45.539
 in

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:45.639
 the

00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:45.819
 birth

00:39:45.819 --> 00:39:46.179
 narratives

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:46.480
 Jesus

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:46.699
 is

00:39:46.699 --> 00:39:47.159
 conceived

00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:47.579
 by

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:47.819
 the

00:39:47.819 --> 00:39:48.179
 Spirit

00:39:48.179 --> 00:39:48.699
 the

00:39:48.699 --> 00:39:48.919
 Spirit

00:39:48.919 --> 00:39:49.239
 leads

00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:49.599
 Jesus

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:49.879
 into

00:39:49.879 --> 00:39:50.079
 the

00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:50.379
 wilderness

00:39:50.379 --> 00:39:50.699
 where

00:39:50.699 --> 00:39:51.000
 Satan

00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:51.439
 tempts

00:39:51.439 --> 00:39:51.619
 him

00:39:51.619 --> 00:39:52.579
 and

00:39:52.579 --> 00:39:52.799
 after

00:39:52.799 --> 00:39:53.000
 he

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.539
 overcomes

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:54.099
 temptation

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:54.319
 he

00:39:54.319 --> 00:39:54.519
 goes

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:54.859
 forth

00:39:54.859 --> 00:39:55.000
 in

00:39:57.699 --> 00:40:00.939
 So

00:40:00.939 --> 00:40:01.119
 the

00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:01.339
 Holy

00:40:01.339 --> 00:40:01.579
 Spirit

00:40:01.579 --> 00:40:01.739
 is

00:40:01.739 --> 00:40:02.059
 equally

00:40:02.059 --> 00:40:02.399
 God

00:40:02.399 --> 00:40:02.539
 and

00:40:02.539 --> 00:40:02.980
 distinct

00:40:02.980 --> 00:40:03.159
 from

00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:03.319
 the

00:40:03.319 --> 00:40:03.599
 Father

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:03.879
 and

00:40:03.879 --> 00:40:04.059
 the

00:40:04.059 --> 00:40:04.299
 Son

00:40:04.299 --> 00:40:05.899
 So

00:40:05.899 --> 00:40:06.219
 in

00:40:06.219 --> 00:40:06.519
 summary

00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:07.019
 there's

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.359
 one

00:40:07.359 --> 00:40:07.699
 God

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:09.059
 there are

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:09.839
 not

00:40:09.839 --> 00:40:10.119
 three

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:10.480
 gods

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.739
 but

00:40:11.739 --> 00:40:11.919
 there's

00:40:11.919 --> 00:40:12.179
 one

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:12.480
 God

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:12.779
 but

00:40:12.779 --> 00:40:13.039
 there are

00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:13.239
 three

00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:13.659
 persons

00:40:13.659 --> 00:40:13.839
 who

00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:13.939
 are

00:40:13.939 --> 00:40:14.359
 distinct

00:40:14.359 --> 00:40:14.839
 from

00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:15.139
 each

00:40:15.139 --> 00:40:15.379
 other

00:40:15.379 --> 00:40:16.500
 the

00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:16.819
 Father

00:40:16.819 --> 00:40:17.039
 is

00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:17.259
 God

00:40:17.259 --> 00:40:17.460
 the

00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:17.639
 Son

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:17.779
 is

00:40:17.779 --> 00:40:17.980
 God

00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:18.179
 the

00:40:18.179 --> 00:40:18.419
 Spirit

00:40:18.419 --> 00:40:18.599
 is

00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:18.819
 God

00:40:18.819 --> 00:40:18.939
 but

00:40:18.939 --> 00:40:19.099
 the

00:40:19.099 --> 00:40:19.359
 Father

00:40:19.359 --> 00:40:19.519
 is

00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:19.679
 not

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:19.859
 the

00:40:19.859 --> 00:40:20.099
 Son

00:40:20.099 --> 00:40:21.539
 nor

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:21.719
 the

00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:21.980
 Spirit

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:22.579
 the

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:22.819
 Spirit

00:40:22.819 --> 00:40:22.960
 is

00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:23.079
 not

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:23.239
 the

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:23.539
 Father

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:23.799
 nor

00:40:23.799 --> 00:40:24.000
 the

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.239
 Son

00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:24.719
 they're

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:24.899
 not

00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:25.280
 identical

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:26.260
 so

00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:27.099
 and

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:27.240
 this

00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:27.380
 is

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:27.660
 clear

00:40:27.660 --> 00:40:27.860
 from

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.160
 Jesus

00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:28.300
 in

00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:28.380
 the

00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:28.539
 Great

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:28.920
 Commission

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:29.300
 all

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:29.760
 authority

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:29.940
 in

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:30.260
 heaven

00:40:30.260 --> 00:40:31.260
 and

00:40:31.260 --> 00:40:31.380
 on

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:31.579
 earth

00:40:31.579 --> 00:40:31.740
 is

00:40:31.740 --> 00:40:31.900
 given

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:32.280
 to

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:32.519
 me

00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:33.260
 go

00:40:33.260 --> 00:40:33.700
 therefore

00:40:33.700 --> 00:40:34.019
 make

00:40:34.019 --> 00:40:34.460
 disciples

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:34.619
 of

00:40:34.619 --> 00:40:34.740
 all

00:40:34.740 --> 00:40:35.099
 nations

00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:35.840
 baptizing

00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:36.519
 in

00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:37.320
 the

00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:37.760
 name

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:37.900
 the

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:38.139
 one

00:40:38.139 --> 00:40:38.539
 name

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:39.079
 of

00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:39.220
 the

00:40:39.220 --> 00:40:39.559
 Father

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:40.059
 of

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:40.200
 the

00:40:40.200 --> 00:40:40.400
 Son

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:40.519
 and

00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:40.599
 of

00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:40.700
 the

00:40:40.700 --> 00:40:40.880
 Holy

00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:41.240
 Spirit

00:40:41.240 --> 00:40:42.000
 teaching

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:42.160
 them

00:40:42.160 --> 00:40:42.280
 to

00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:42.500
 observe

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:42.740
 all

00:40:42.740 --> 00:40:42.880
 that

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:42.960
 I

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:43.039
 have

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:43.360
 commanded

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:44.760
 so

00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:46.400
 there's

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:46.680
 one

00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:47.039
 God

00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:47.440
 in

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:47.840
 three

00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:48.340
 persons

00:40:48.340 --> 00:40:49.980
 so

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:50.180
 let's

00:40:50.180 --> 00:40:50.300
 say

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:50.539
 something

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:50.740
 about

00:40:50.740 --> 00:40:50.900
 some

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.320
 common

00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:51.700
 mistakes

00:40:51.700 --> 00:40:51.900
 that

00:40:54.900 --> 00:40:55.380
 analogies

00:40:55.380 --> 00:40:55.480
 I

00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:55.579
 want

00:40:55.579 --> 00:40:55.639
 to

00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:55.760
 get

00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:55.980
 to

00:40:55.980 --> 00:40:57.059
 analogies

00:40:57.059 --> 00:40:59.360
 so

00:40:59.360 --> 00:40:59.579
 we

00:40:59.579 --> 00:40:59.700
 can

00:40:59.700 --> 00:40:59.920
 say

00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:00.059
 that

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:00.619
 analogies

00:41:00.619 --> 00:41:00.800
 could

00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:00.940
 be

00:41:00.940 --> 00:41:01.320
 helpful

00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:02.019
 right

00:41:02.019 --> 00:41:03.180
 if

00:41:03.180 --> 00:41:03.660
 you

00:41:03.660 --> 00:41:04.599
 an

00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:05.300
 analogy

00:41:05.300 --> 00:41:05.639
 might

00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:05.940
 help

00:41:05.940 --> 00:41:06.079
 you

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:06.740
 understand

00:41:06.740 --> 00:41:07.059
 some

00:41:07.059 --> 00:41:07.139
 of

00:41:07.139 --> 00:41:07.260
 this

00:41:07.260 --> 00:41:07.820
 oneness

00:41:07.820 --> 00:41:08.079
 and

00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:08.780
 threeness

00:41:08.780 --> 00:41:09.519
 but

00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:09.660
 I

00:41:09.660 --> 00:41:09.920
 think

00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:10.059
 if

00:41:10.059 --> 00:41:10.139
 we

00:41:10.139 --> 00:41:10.320
 go

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:10.720
 right

00:41:10.720 --> 00:41:10.900
 to

00:41:10.900 --> 00:41:11.059
 the

00:41:11.059 --> 00:41:11.559
 analogy

00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:12.460
 we

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:12.760
 actually

00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:12.980
 end

00:41:12.980 --> 00:41:13.139
 up

00:41:13.139 --> 00:41:13.960
 misrepresenting

00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:14.579
 the

00:41:14.579 --> 00:41:15.019
 triunity

00:41:15.019 --> 00:41:15.240
 of

00:41:15.240 --> 00:41:15.519
 God

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:17.579
 so

00:41:17.579 --> 00:41:17.940
 Christians

00:41:17.940 --> 00:41:18.099
 will

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:18.300
 say

00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:18.500
 well

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:18.780
 God

00:41:18.780 --> 00:41:18.940
 is

00:41:18.940 --> 00:41:19.220
 one

00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:19.420
 but

00:41:19.420 --> 00:41:19.599
 he

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:19.960
 appears

00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:20.119
 in

00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:20.320
 three

00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:20.619
 different

00:41:20.619 --> 00:41:21.139
 forms

00:41:21.139 --> 00:41:21.639
 right

00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:22.160
 so

00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:22.559
 oftentimes

00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:22.980
 this

00:41:22.980 --> 00:41:23.480
 mistake

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:24.500
 is done

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:24.760
 when we

00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:24.920
 start

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:26.260
 analogizing

00:41:26.260 --> 00:41:27.039
 God

00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:27.280
 has

00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:27.860
 three

00:41:27.860 --> 00:41:28.219
 different

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:28.519
 masks

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:28.659
 that

00:41:28.659 --> 00:41:28.740
 he

00:41:28.740 --> 00:41:28.940
 puts

00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:29.240
 on

00:41:29.240 --> 00:41:32.019
 that's

00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:32.280
 called

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:33.000
 modalism

00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:33.460
 yes

00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:35.599
 God

00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:35.900
 appears

00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:36.039
 in

00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:36.280
 different

00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:36.780
 modes

00:41:36.780 --> 00:41:37.940
 and

00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:38.119
 so

00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:38.360
 God

00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:38.440
 is

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:38.559
 like

00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:39.280
 H2O

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.079
 sometimes

00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:40.599
 he's

00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:40.960
 water

00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:41.480
 sometimes

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:41.940
 he's

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:42.240
 ice

00:41:42.240 --> 00:41:42.579
 sometimes

00:41:42.579 --> 00:41:43.059
 he's

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:43.420
 steam

00:41:43.420 --> 00:41:44.139
 and

00:41:44.139 --> 00:41:44.420
 that's

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:44.679
 kind

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:44.820
 of

00:41:44.820 --> 00:41:45.139
 water

00:41:45.139 --> 00:41:45.260
 is

00:41:45.260 --> 00:41:45.659
 appearing

00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:45.860
 in

00:41:45.860 --> 00:41:46.159
 different

00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:46.780
 forms

00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:48.119
 but

00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:48.280
 the

00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:48.740
 problem

00:41:48.740 --> 00:41:49.119
 is

00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:49.380
 if

00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:50.099
 water

00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:51.780
 can

00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:52.039
 turn

00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:52.240
 into

00:41:52.240 --> 00:41:52.519
 steam

00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:52.719
 but

00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:52.920
 can

00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:53.099
 the

00:41:53.099 --> 00:41:53.440
 father

00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:53.780
 turn

00:41:53.780 --> 00:41:54.099
 himself

00:41:54.099 --> 00:41:54.300
 into

00:41:54.300 --> 00:41:54.480
 the

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:54.760
 spirit

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:56.079
 no

00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:56.240
 he

00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:57.059
 can't

00:41:57.059 --> 00:41:57.740
 and

00:41:57.740 --> 00:41:57.960
 there's

00:41:57.960 --> 00:41:58.240
 no

00:41:58.240 --> 00:41:59.320
 situation

00:41:59.320 --> 00:41:59.659
 where

00:41:59.659 --> 00:41:59.900
 it's

00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:00.720
 water

00:42:00.720 --> 00:42:01.220
 steam

00:42:01.220 --> 00:42:01.380
 and

00:42:01.380 --> 00:42:01.700
 ice

00:42:01.700 --> 00:42:02.400
 and

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:02.539
 they're

00:42:02.539 --> 00:42:02.760
 all

00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:03.059
 three

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:03.420
 at

00:42:03.420 --> 00:42:03.840
 once

00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:04.519
 right

00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:04.840
 so

00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:05.539
 it's

00:42:05.539 --> 00:42:05.860
 not

00:42:05.860 --> 00:42:07.019
 it's

00:42:07.019 --> 00:42:07.260
 not

00:42:07.260 --> 00:42:07.500
 like

00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:07.720
 the

00:42:07.720 --> 00:42:08.179
 it's

00:42:08.179 --> 00:42:08.340
 not

00:42:08.340 --> 00:42:08.460
 a

00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:08.800
 good

00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:09.159
 analogy

00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:09.380
 for

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:09.519
 the

00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:09.840
 trinity

00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:10.200
 although

00:42:10.200 --> 00:42:10.440
 we

00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:10.639
 can

00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:11.099
 that

00:42:11.099 --> 00:42:11.280
 might

00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:11.440
 be

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:11.740
 helpful

00:42:11.740 --> 00:42:12.099
 but

00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:12.280
 it

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:12.720
 ultimately

00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:13.079
 falls

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:13.559
 short

00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:14.099
 God

00:42:14.099 --> 00:42:14.539
 can't

00:42:14.539 --> 00:42:14.780
 turn

00:42:14.780 --> 00:42:15.200
 himself

00:42:15.200 --> 00:42:15.460
 into

00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:15.700
 the

00:42:15.700 --> 00:42:16.099
 spirit

00:42:16.099 --> 00:42:16.780
 because

00:42:16.780 --> 00:42:17.200
 God

00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:17.480
 is

00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:17.760
 the

00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:18.079
 spirit

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.000
 there

00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:19.179
 is

00:42:19.179 --> 00:42:19.340
 no

00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:19.820
 turning

00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:20.920
 he

00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:21.360
 is

00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:21.960
 yes

00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:23.679
 one

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:23.840
 is

00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:24.000
 like

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:24.659
 a

00:42:24.659 --> 00:42:24.960
 man

00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:25.079
 who

00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:25.159
 is

00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:25.300
 a

00:42:25.300 --> 00:42:25.860
 father

00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:26.820
 and

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:26.960
 a

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.440
 brother

00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.519
 and

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:28.700
 a

00:42:28.700 --> 00:42:29.179
 son

00:42:29.179 --> 00:42:29.639
 all

00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:30.039
 together

00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:30.760
 right

00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:31.019
 so

00:42:31.019 --> 00:42:31.320
 I'm

00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:31.539
 a

00:42:31.539 --> 00:42:32.420
 man

00:42:32.420 --> 00:42:32.579
 I'm

00:42:32.579 --> 00:42:32.720
 also

00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:32.900
 a

00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:33.300
 father

00:42:33.300 --> 00:42:33.480
 I'm

00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:33.579
 a

00:42:33.579 --> 00:42:33.860
 husband

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:34.079
 I'm

00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:34.200
 a

00:42:34.200 --> 00:42:34.559
 son

00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:35.260
 three

00:42:35.260 --> 00:42:35.400
 in

00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:35.639
 one

00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:35.920
 right

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:36.820
 well

00:42:36.820 --> 00:42:37.019
 that

00:42:37.019 --> 00:42:37.260
 doesn't

00:42:37.260 --> 00:42:37.460
 work

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:37.780
 either

00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:38.139
 because

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:38.400
 that

00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:38.840
 denies

00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:39.000
 the

00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:39.519
 distinctions

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:39.800
 within

00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:39.940
 the

00:42:39.940 --> 00:42:40.380
 Godhead

00:42:40.380 --> 00:42:41.619
 it's

00:42:41.619 --> 00:42:42.720
 that

00:42:42.720 --> 00:42:43.139
 doesn't

00:42:43.139 --> 00:42:43.400
 so

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:43.700
 all

00:42:43.700 --> 00:42:44.280
 analogies

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.760
 ultimately

00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:45.179
 fail

00:42:45.179 --> 00:42:45.519
 us

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:45.960
 I

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.440
 haven't

00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:46.659
 heard

00:42:46.659 --> 00:42:46.820
 of

00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:47.119
 a

00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:47.340
 good

00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:47.860
 analogy

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:48.280
 I

00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:48.380
 mean

00:42:48.380 --> 00:42:48.639
 they

00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:48.760
 could

00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:48.900
 be

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:53.840
 comprehension

00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:55.559
 and

00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:55.920
 it's

00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:56.240
 that

00:42:56.240 --> 00:42:56.440
 makes

00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:56.800
 sense

00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:57.159
 doesn't

00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:57.340
 it

00:42:57.340 --> 00:42:57.619
 if

00:42:57.619 --> 00:42:58.079
 God

00:42:58.079 --> 00:42:58.700
 says

00:42:58.700 --> 00:42:58.840
 that

00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:59.000
 my

00:42:59.000 --> 00:42:59.240
 ways

00:42:59.240 --> 00:42:59.340
 are

00:42:59.340 --> 00:42:59.579
 not

00:42:59.579 --> 00:43:00.019
 your

 ways

00:43:00.340 --> 00:43:00.579

00:43:00.900 --> 00:43:01.019
 are

00:43:01.019 --> 00:43:01.240
 above

00:43:01.240 --> 00:43:01.420
 your

00:43:01.420 --> 00:43:01.800
 thoughts

00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:02.059
 of

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:02.260
 course

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:02.400
 we're

00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:02.500
 not

00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:02.679
 going to

00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:02.900
 find

00:43:02.900 --> 00:43:03.039
 an

00:43:04.019 --> 00:43:04.860
 perfectly

00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:05.440
 corresponds

 God

 yeah

 yeah

00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:28.460
 to

00:43:28.460 --> 00:43:28.980
 define

00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:29.420
 who

00:43:29.420 --> 00:43:29.759
 God

00:43:29.759 --> 00:43:29.940
 is

00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:30.099
 and

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:30.259
 what

00:43:30.259 --> 00:43:30.440
 he

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:30.739
 is

00:43:30.739 --> 00:43:31.380
 the

00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:31.759
 words

00:43:31.759 --> 00:43:32.119
 fail

00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:32.860
 I

00:43:32.860 --> 00:43:33.139
 got

00:43:33.139 --> 00:43:33.280
 it

00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:33.460
 up

00:43:33.460 --> 00:43:33.739
 here

00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:34.380
 I

00:43:34.380 --> 00:43:34.679
 just

00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:34.900
 don't

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:35.159
 have

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:35.259
 it

00:43:35.259 --> 00:43:35.360
 when

00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:35.500
 the

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:35.739
 words

00:43:35.739 --> 00:43:35.960
 come

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.199
 out

00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:36.739
 yes

00:43:36.739 --> 00:43:37.500
 yes

00:43:37.500 --> 00:43:39.000
 like

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.519
 Augustine

00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:39.780
 said

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:40.039
 what is

00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:40.280
 needed

00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:40.599
 is a

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:40.780
 loving

00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:41.219
 profession

00:43:41.219 --> 00:43:41.400
 of

00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:41.840
 ignorance

00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:43.039
 rather

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:43.480
 than a

00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:43.820
 rash

00:43:43.820 --> 00:43:44.259
 profession

00:43:44.259 --> 00:43:44.460
 of

00:43:44.460 --> 00:43:45.019
 knowledge

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:47.099
 yeah

00:43:47.099 --> 00:43:47.559
 we need

00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:47.639
 to

00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:47.980
 profess

00:43:47.980 --> 00:43:48.619
 our

00:43:48.619 --> 00:43:49.099
 ignorance

00:43:49.099 --> 00:43:49.759
 and

00:43:49.759 --> 00:43:50.000
 not

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:50.239
 like

00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:50.840
 rashly

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:51.460
 professed

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:51.579
 our

00:43:51.579 --> 00:43:51.880
 knowledge

00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:52.000
 of

00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:52.100
 the

00:43:52.100 --> 00:43:52.360
 matter

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:53.420
 yeah

00:43:53.420 --> 00:43:54.120
 so

00:43:54.120 --> 00:43:54.460
 let's

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:54.720
 pause

00:43:54.720 --> 00:43:54.960
 for a

00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:55.140
 moment

00:43:55.140 --> 00:43:55.660
 and ask

00:43:55.660 --> 00:43:56.079
 ourselves

00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:57.180
 how does

00:43:57.180 --> 00:43:58.039
 the plurality

00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:59.600
 of God

00:43:59.600 --> 00:44:00.280
 help us

00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:00.900
 understand

00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:01.260
 God's

00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:01.600
 character

00:44:01.600 --> 00:44:01.920
 because this

00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:02.120
 is an

00:44:02.120 --> 00:44:02.500
 attributes

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:02.940
 of God

00:44:02.940 --> 00:44:03.380
 class

00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:04.260
 how does

00:44:04.260 --> 00:44:05.380
 that help

00:44:05.380 --> 00:44:05.640
 us

00:44:05.640 --> 00:44:06.720
 understand

00:44:06.720 --> 00:44:07.640
 God's

00:44:07.640 --> 00:44:08.220
 character

00:44:08.219 --> 00:44:11.119
 God

00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:11.279
 well

00:44:11.279 --> 00:44:13.239
 there's a

00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:13.399
 big

00:44:13.399 --> 00:44:13.799
 difference

00:44:13.799 --> 00:44:14.019
 between

00:44:14.019 --> 00:44:14.159
 the

00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:14.539
 conception

00:44:14.539 --> 00:44:14.759
 of

00:44:14.759 --> 00:44:15.059
 Allah

00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:16.019
 and

00:44:16.019 --> 00:44:16.159
 a

00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:16.599
 Christian's

00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:16.739
 view

00:44:16.739 --> 00:44:16.879
 of

00:44:16.879 --> 00:44:17.000
 the

00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:17.359
 triune

00:44:17.359 --> 00:44:17.659
 God

00:44:17.659 --> 00:44:20.399
 so

00:44:20.399 --> 00:44:20.859
 if we

00:44:20.859 --> 00:44:21.179
 deny

00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:21.379
 the

00:44:21.379 --> 00:44:22.079
 trinity

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:23.419
 and

00:44:23.419 --> 00:44:23.699
 let's

00:44:23.699 --> 00:44:23.919
 say

00:44:23.919 --> 00:44:24.459
 God

00:44:24.459 --> 00:44:24.659
 was

00:44:24.659 --> 00:44:25.019
 like

00:44:25.019 --> 00:44:25.319
 Allah

00:44:25.319 --> 00:44:26.839
 God

00:44:26.839 --> 00:44:27.039
 would

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:27.419
 need

00:44:27.419 --> 00:44:27.659
 his

00:44:27.659 --> 00:44:28.199
 creation

00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:28.599
 to be

00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:28.839
 loving

00:44:28.839 --> 00:44:29.879
 would

00:44:29.879 --> 00:44:29.959
 he

00:44:29.959 --> 00:44:30.219
 not

00:44:30.219 --> 00:44:31.059
 can

00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:31.199
 you

00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:31.439
 love

00:44:31.439 --> 00:44:32.099
 anything

00:44:32.099 --> 00:44:32.739
 if you

00:44:32.739 --> 00:44:33.079
 have been

00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:33.699
 in solitary

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:34.259
 confinement

00:44:34.260 --> 00:44:34.560
 since

00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:34.880
 eternity

00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:35.360
 past

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:36.120
 no

00:44:36.120 --> 00:44:36.360
 you

00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:36.720
 need

00:44:36.720 --> 00:44:36.940
 an

00:44:36.940 --> 00:44:37.460
 object

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:38.360
 to

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:38.720
 love

00:44:38.720 --> 00:44:39.040
 to

00:44:39.040 --> 00:44:39.220
 be

00:44:39.220 --> 00:44:39.560
 loving

00:44:39.560 --> 00:44:40.280
 and

00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:40.460
 the

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:40.820
 scripture

00:44:40.820 --> 00:44:41.400
 presents

00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:41.600
 the

00:44:41.600 --> 00:44:42.060
 father

00:44:42.060 --> 00:44:42.640
 son

00:44:44.600 --> 00:44:45.260
 relationship

00:44:45.260 --> 00:44:45.520
 and

00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:45.840
 fellowship

00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:46.080
 with

00:44:46.080 --> 00:44:46.240
 each

00:44:46.240 --> 00:44:46.420
 other

00:44:46.420 --> 00:44:46.580
 in

00:44:46.580 --> 00:44:46.900

00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:47.380
 past

00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:48.060
 they

00:44:48.060 --> 00:44:48.220
 have

00:44:48.220 --> 00:44:48.520
 loved

00:44:48.520 --> 00:44:48.740
 each

00:44:48.740 --> 00:44:49.020
 other

 from

00:44:49.700 --> 00:44:50.180
 eternity

00:44:50.180 --> 00:44:50.760
 past

00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:51.820
 it's

00:44:51.820 --> 00:44:52.120
 out of

00:44:52.120 --> 00:44:52.280
 this

00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:52.700
 love

00:44:52.700 --> 00:44:52.960
 and

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:53.340
 joy

00:44:53.340 --> 00:44:53.480
 that

00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:53.600
 they

00:44:53.600 --> 00:44:54.160
 create

00:44:54.160 --> 00:44:54.440
 the

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:54.820
 world

00:44:54.820 --> 00:44:57.300
 or

00:44:57.300 --> 00:44:57.580
 else

00:44:57.580 --> 00:44:57.820
 if

00:44:57.820 --> 00:44:58.400
 they

00:44:58.400 --> 00:44:58.780
 weren't

00:44:58.780 --> 00:44:59.240
 together

00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:00.100
 in a way

00:45:00.100 --> 00:45:00.260
 you'd

00:45:00.260 --> 00:45:00.480
 have to

00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:00.640
 say

00:45:00.640 --> 00:45:00.960
 God

00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:01.440
 needs

00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:01.920
 creation

00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:02.260
 to be

00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:02.520
 loving

00:45:02.520 --> 00:45:03.400
 but

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:03.560
 that's

00:45:03.560 --> 00:45:03.720
 not

00:45:04.260 --> 00:45:04.980
 it's

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:05.140
 like

00:45:05.140 --> 00:45:05.360
 in

00:45:11.100 --> 00:45:11.560
 existence

00:45:11.560 --> 00:45:12.940
 it's

00:45:12.940 --> 00:45:13.340
 a happy

00:45:13.340 --> 00:45:13.720
 voice

00:45:13.720 --> 00:45:14.060
 out

00:45:14.060 --> 00:45:14.180
 of

00:45:14.180 --> 00:45:14.600
 love

00:45:14.600 --> 00:45:15.700
 and

00:45:15.700 --> 00:45:15.880
 it's

00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:16.440
 as if

00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:16.740
 God

00:45:16.740 --> 00:45:17.140
 sings

00:45:20.700 --> 00:45:20.840
 it's

00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:21.040
 out

00:45:21.040 --> 00:45:21.120
 of

00:45:21.120 --> 00:45:21.260
 this

00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:21.520
 love

 he

00:45:22.180 --> 00:45:22.480
 makes

00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:22.880
 us

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:24.120
 and

 we're

00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:12.960

00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:00.099
 that's

00:47:00.099 --> 00:47:00.260
 the

00:47:00.260 --> 00:47:00.659
 character

00:47:00.659 --> 00:47:01.519
 of

 we

00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:02.760
 are

00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:03.119

 as

00:47:03.619 --> 00:47:04.099
 fathers

 I

00:47:05.460 --> 00:47:05.880
 just

00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:06.059
 so

00:47:06.059 --> 00:47:06.760
 fathers

 just

 be

00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:08.119
 obnoxious

00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:08.380

00:47:08.380 --> 00:47:08.740
 this

00:47:08.740 --> 00:47:09.119
 right

00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:09.460
 we

 need

00:47:09.740 --> 00:47:09.860
 to

00:47:09.860 --> 00:47:10.000
 be

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:10.460
 constantly

00:47:10.460 --> 00:47:10.820
 saying

00:47:10.820 --> 00:47:11.000
 this

00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:11.119
 to

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:11.260
 our

00:47:11.260 --> 00:47:11.500

00:47:12.220 --> 00:47:12.460
 love

00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:12.599
 them

00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:12.940
 you

00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:13.500
 delight

00:47:13.500 --> 00:47:13.820
 in

00:47:13.820 --> 00:47:14.079
 them

00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:14.700
 every

00:47:14.700 --> 00:47:15.000
 single

00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:15.220
 day

00:47:15.220 --> 00:47:15.440
 don't

00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:15.579
 just

00:47:15.579 --> 00:47:15.740
 tell

00:47:15.740 --> 00:47:15.920
 them

00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:16.039
 that

00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:16.139
 you

00:47:16.139 --> 00:47:16.360
 love

00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:16.519
 them

00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:16.760
 but

00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:17.120
 actually

00:47:17.120 --> 00:47:17.380
 love

00:47:17.380 --> 00:47:17.600
 them

00:47:17.600 --> 00:47:18.340
 and

00:47:18.340 --> 00:47:18.460
 if

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:18.560
 you

00:47:18.560 --> 00:47:18.780
 have

00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:18.980
 young

00:47:18.980 --> 00:47:19.220

00:47:19.220 --> 00:47:19.520
 play

00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:19.700
 with

00:47:19.700 --> 00:47:19.840
 your

00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.180
 kids

00:47:20.180 --> 00:47:20.900
 I

00:47:20.900 --> 00:47:21.100
 think

00:47:21.100 --> 00:47:21.400
 that's

00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:21.780
 teaching

00:47:21.780 --> 00:47:22.080
 a

00:47:22.080 --> 00:47:22.720
 profound

00:47:22.720 --> 00:47:23.800
 lesson

00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:24.020
 about

00:47:24.020 --> 00:47:24.180
 the

00:47:24.180 --> 00:47:24.460
 nature

00:47:24.460 --> 00:47:24.680
 of

00:47:24.680 --> 00:47:25.060
 God

00:47:25.060 --> 00:47:25.560
 and

00:47:25.560 --> 00:47:25.760
 God

00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:25.900
 the

00:47:25.900 --> 00:47:26.180
 father

00:47:26.180 --> 00:47:26.900
 when

00:47:26.900 --> 00:47:27.460
 fathers

00:47:27.460 --> 00:47:28.180
 take

00:47:28.180 --> 00:47:28.360
 on

00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:28.500
 the

00:47:28.500 --> 00:47:28.740
 role

00:47:28.740 --> 00:47:28.960
 of

00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:29.380
 loving

00:47:29.380 --> 00:47:29.800
 care

00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:30.020
 for

00:47:30.020 --> 00:47:30.180
 their

00:47:30.180 --> 00:47:30.580
 children

00:47:30.580 --> 00:47:31.660
 and

00:47:31.660 --> 00:47:32.060
 we

00:47:32.060 --> 00:47:32.220
 are

00:47:32.220 --> 00:47:33.020
 imaging

00:47:33.020 --> 00:47:33.980
 the

00:47:33.980 --> 00:47:34.400
 triune

00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:34.680
 nature

00:47:34.680 --> 00:47:34.900
 of

00:47:34.900 --> 00:47:35.140
 God

00:47:35.140 --> 00:47:36.240
 as

00:47:36.240 --> 00:47:36.520
 Raul

00:47:36.520 --> 00:47:36.740
 said

00:47:36.740 --> 00:47:36.900
 our

00:47:36.900 --> 00:47:37.160
 faith

00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:37.320
 is

00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:37.900
 Trinitarian

00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:38.100
 at

00:47:38.100 --> 00:47:38.240
 its

00:47:38.240 --> 00:47:38.540
 core

00:47:38.540 --> 00:47:39.260
 so

00:47:39.260 --> 00:47:39.480
 whoever

00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:39.720
 has

00:47:39.720 --> 00:47:40.080
 saving

00:47:40.080 --> 00:47:40.460
 faith

00:47:40.460 --> 00:47:40.960
 has

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:41.100
 been

00:47:41.100 --> 00:47:41.440
 drawn

00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:41.740
 by

00:47:41.740 --> 00:47:41.940
 the

00:47:41.940 --> 00:47:42.300
 father

00:47:42.300 --> 00:47:43.080
 moved

00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:43.259
 by

00:47:43.259 --> 00:47:43.440
 the

00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:43.679
 spirit

00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:43.840
 to

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:44.139
 confess

00:47:44.139 --> 00:47:44.519
 Jesus

00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:44.739
 is

00:47:44.739 --> 00:47:44.960
 lord

00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:45.119
 of

00:47:46.819 --> 00:47:47.299
 happens

00:47:47.299 --> 00:47:47.659
 because

00:47:47.659 --> 00:47:48.019
 the

00:47:48.019 --> 00:47:48.340
 father

00:47:48.340 --> 00:47:48.639
 puts

00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:48.980
 forward

00:47:48.980 --> 00:47:49.179
 the

00:47:49.179 --> 00:47:49.460
 son

00:47:49.460 --> 00:47:50.000
 the

00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:50.380
 righteous

00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:50.699
 one

00:47:50.699 --> 00:47:50.860
 in

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:51.219
 exchange

00:47:51.219 --> 00:47:51.360
 for

00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:51.460
 the

00:47:51.460 --> 00:47:52.000
 unrighteous

00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:52.239
 and

00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:52.719
 satisfies

00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:53.400
 God's

00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:53.659
 wrath

00:47:53.659 --> 00:47:53.940
 against

00:47:53.940 --> 00:47:54.279
 sin

00:47:54.279 --> 00:47:54.940
 and

00:47:54.940 --> 00:47:55.099
 the

00:47:55.099 --> 00:47:55.360
 spirit

00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:55.900
 applies

00:48:32.820 --> 00:48:33.019
 or

00:48:33.019 --> 00:48:33.460
 spirit

00:48:33.460 --> 00:48:34.600
 but

00:48:34.600 --> 00:48:34.740
 I

00:48:34.740 --> 00:48:34.880
 will

00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:35.060
 say

00:48:35.060 --> 00:48:35.500
 Jesus

00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:35.800
 pray

00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:35.940
 to

00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:36.100
 the

00:48:36.100 --> 00:48:36.480
 father

00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:36.840
 a

00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:37.199
 lot

00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:38.400
 and

00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:38.539
 I

00:48:38.539 --> 00:48:38.639
 think

00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:38.780
 the

00:48:38.780 --> 00:48:39.159
 pattern

00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:39.420
 is

00:48:39.420 --> 00:48:39.780
 praying

00:48:39.780 --> 00:48:39.920
 to

00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:40.059
 the

00:48:40.059 --> 00:48:40.440
 father

00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:41.420
 through

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:41.619
 the

00:48:41.619 --> 00:48:41.820
 son

00:48:41.820 --> 00:48:42.000
 by

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:42.179
 the

00:48:42.179 --> 00:48:42.460
 spirit

00:48:42.460 --> 00:48:43.079
 but

00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:43.219
 we

00:48:43.219 --> 00:48:43.440
 also

00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:43.579
 have

00:48:43.579 --> 00:48:44.139
 examples

00:48:44.139 --> 00:48:44.719
 where

00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:45.099
 Stephen

00:48:45.099 --> 00:48:45.280
 is

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:45.519
 praying

00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:45.659
 to

00:48:45.659 --> 00:48:45.780
 the

00:48:45.780 --> 00:48:45.940
 Lord

00:48:45.940 --> 00:48:46.300
 Jesus

00:48:46.300 --> 00:48:46.699
 in

00:48:46.699 --> 00:48:47.099
 Acts

00:48:47.099 --> 00:48:48.079
 so

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:48.940
 even

00:48:48.940 --> 00:48:49.059
 though

00:48:49.059 --> 00:48:49.179
 they're

00:48:49.179 --> 00:48:49.500
 all

00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:50.199
 three

00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:51.079
 they're

00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:51.420
 three

00:48:51.420 --> 00:48:51.579
 in

00:48:51.579 --> 00:48:51.800
 one

00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:52.019
 one

00:48:52.019 --> 00:48:52.139
 in

00:48:52.139 --> 00:48:52.460
 three

00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:53.179
 there

00:48:53.179 --> 00:48:53.420
 is

00:48:53.420 --> 00:48:53.579
 a

00:48:53.579 --> 00:48:53.980
 pattern

00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:54.139
 that

00:48:54.139 --> 00:48:54.260
 we're

00:48:54.260 --> 00:48:54.599
 praying

00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:54.780
 to

00:48:54.780 --> 00:48:54.940
 the

00:48:54.940 --> 00:48:55.280
 father

00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:55.679
 through

00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:55.840
 the

00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:56.000
 son

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:56.159
 by

00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:56.300
 the

00:48:56.300 --> 00:48:56.440
 holy

00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:56.800
 spirit

00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:57.280
 but

00:48:57.280 --> 00:48:57.420
 having

00:48:57.420 --> 00:48:57.599
 said

00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:57.740
 that

00:48:57.740 --> 00:48:57.880
 it

00:48:57.880 --> 00:48:58.000
 is

00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:58.199
 okay

00:48:58.199 --> 00:48:58.360
 to

00:48:58.360 --> 00:48:58.559
 pray

00:48:58.559 --> 00:48:58.740
 to

00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:07.599
 know

00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:07.840
 but

00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:08.179
 Jesus

00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:08.480
 could

00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:08.980
 he

00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:09.119
 can

00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:09.400
 only

00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:09.679
 pray

 father

00:49:10.219 --> 00:49:10.460
 he

00:49:10.460 --> 00:49:10.940
 can't

00:49:13.539 --> 00:49:13.880
 trinity

00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:14.119

00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:18.640
 say

00:50:18.640 --> 00:50:18.860
 because

00:50:18.860 --> 00:50:19.000
 the

00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:19.680
 son

00:50:19.680 --> 00:50:20.240
 submits

00:50:20.240 --> 00:50:20.579
 himself

00:50:20.579 --> 00:50:20.760
 to

00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:20.880
 the

00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:21.180
 father

00:50:21.180 --> 00:50:21.539
 yeah

00:50:21.539 --> 00:50:22.240
 it's

00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:22.400
 true

00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:22.660
 yeah

00:50:22.660 --> 00:50:24.280
 I've

00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:24.519
 always

00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:24.760
 had

00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:24.940
 this

00:50:24.940 --> 00:50:25.360
 problem

00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:25.720
 that

00:50:25.720 --> 00:50:25.960
 I

00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:26.260
 always

00:50:26.260 --> 00:50:26.519
 ask

00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:26.900
 myself

00:50:26.900 --> 00:50:27.140
 did

00:50:27.140 --> 00:50:27.519
 Jesus

00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:27.980
 save

00:50:27.980 --> 00:50:28.240
 did

00:50:28.240 --> 00:50:28.519
 God

00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:28.880
 save

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:29.039
 me

00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:29.360
 because

00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:29.539
 he

00:50:29.539 --> 00:50:29.840
 liked

00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:30.120
 me

00:50:30.120 --> 00:50:30.900
 because

00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:31.180
 he

00:50:31.179 --> 00:50:31.480
 loved

00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:31.759
 me

00:50:31.759 --> 00:50:33.059
 because

00:50:33.059 --> 00:50:33.440
 I

00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:33.759
 got a

00:50:33.759 --> 00:50:33.899
 lot

00:50:33.899 --> 00:50:34.019
 of

00:50:34.019 --> 00:50:34.339
 Christian

00:50:34.339 --> 00:50:34.659
 brothers

00:50:34.659 --> 00:50:34.899
 and

00:50:34.899 --> 00:50:35.139
 sisters

00:50:35.139 --> 00:50:35.399
 that

00:50:35.399 --> 00:50:35.559
 I

00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:35.799
 just

00:50:35.799 --> 00:50:36.079
 don't

00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:36.500
 like

00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:37.399
 but

00:50:37.399 --> 00:50:39.139
 I'm

00:50:39.139 --> 00:50:39.480
 called

00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:39.719
 to

00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:40.000
 love

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:40.339
 them

00:50:40.339 --> 00:50:41.399
 yeah

00:50:41.399 --> 00:50:42.519
 you know

00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:43.039
 I mean

00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:43.579
 I'm sure

00:50:43.579 --> 00:50:44.339
 there's a lot

00:50:44.339 --> 00:50:44.919
 that's not

00:50:44.919 --> 00:50:45.739
 likable about

00:50:45.739 --> 00:50:46.119
 me

00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:46.719
 a lot

00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:47.579
 of people

00:50:47.579 --> 00:50:47.919
 but

00:50:47.919 --> 00:50:48.199
 they're

00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:48.460
 called

00:50:48.460 --> 00:50:48.899
 to love

00:50:48.899 --> 00:50:49.079
 me

00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:49.440
 and I'm

00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:49.699
 called

00:50:49.699 --> 00:50:50.179
 to love

00:50:50.179 --> 00:50:50.559
 them

00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:51.559
 and that's

00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:51.879
 a big

00:50:51.879 --> 00:50:52.379
 mystery

00:50:52.379 --> 00:50:53.799
 you know

00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:54.380
 yeah

00:50:54.380 --> 00:50:56.600
 yeah

00:50:56.600 --> 00:50:57.680
 yeah

00:50:57.680 --> 00:50:59.420
 yeah

00:50:59.420 --> 00:50:59.640
 yeah

00:50:59.640 --> 00:51:00.019
 yeah

00:51:00.019 --> 00:51:01.720
 Ivor

00:51:01.720 --> 00:51:02.940
 that whole

00:51:02.940 --> 00:51:03.640
 thing is no

00:51:03.640 --> 00:51:04.019
 mystery

00:51:04.019 --> 00:51:04.420
 you need

00:51:04.420 --> 00:51:04.760
 to come

00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:05.039
 from a

00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:05.320
 large

00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:05.800
 family

00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:07.380
 I don't

00:51:07.380 --> 00:51:07.840
 like that

00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:12.600
 but you

00:51:12.600 --> 00:51:13.340
 love them

00:51:13.340 --> 00:51:14.300
 you love

00:51:14.300 --> 00:51:14.560
 them

00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:18.279
 I think

00:51:18.279 --> 00:51:18.539
 that

00:51:18.539 --> 00:51:19.039
 there's

00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:19.380
 something

00:51:19.380 --> 00:51:19.779
 too

00:51:19.779 --> 00:51:20.179
 that

00:51:20.179 --> 00:51:22.480
 our

00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:23.159
 three in

00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:23.320
 one

00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:23.579
 God

00:51:23.579 --> 00:51:24.400
 was a

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:24.739
 family

00:51:24.739 --> 00:51:25.799
 before

00:51:25.799 --> 00:51:26.320
 creation

00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:27.320
 but then

00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:27.699
 that he

00:51:27.699 --> 00:51:28.099
 is our

00:51:28.099 --> 00:51:28.579
 creator

00:51:28.579 --> 00:51:29.719
 that means

00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:31.119
 we belong

00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:31.539
 to him

00:51:31.539 --> 00:51:31.900
 or

00:51:31.900 --> 00:51:33.579
 so

00:51:33.579 --> 00:51:34.460
 probably

00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:35.559
 I struggle

00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:35.940
 a lot

00:51:35.940 --> 00:51:36.199
 too

00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:36.639
 with whether

00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:37.420
 God likes

00:51:37.420 --> 00:51:37.659
 me

00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:38.119
 or not

00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:38.619
 but he

00:51:38.619 --> 00:51:39.219
 doesn't

00:51:39.219 --> 00:51:39.400
 think

00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:40.259
 he created

00:51:40.259 --> 00:51:40.739
 us

00:51:40.739 --> 00:51:41.579
 in his

00:51:41.579 --> 00:51:42.119
 image

00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:43.099
 yeah

00:51:43.099 --> 00:51:43.699
 that image

00:51:43.699 --> 00:51:44.619
 is marred

00:51:44.619 --> 00:51:45.419
 by sin

00:51:45.419 --> 00:51:46.319
 but he

00:51:46.319 --> 00:51:46.699
 restores

00:51:46.699 --> 00:51:47.019
 that

00:51:47.019 --> 00:51:47.579
 right

00:51:47.579 --> 00:51:48.219
 like there's

00:51:48.219 --> 00:51:49.399
 there's no

00:51:49.399 --> 00:51:50.059
 need to hate

00:51:50.059 --> 00:51:50.439
 myself

00:51:50.439 --> 00:51:51.079
 because God

00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:51.799
 restores the

00:51:51.799 --> 00:51:52.119
 goodness

00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:52.619
 in me

00:51:52.619 --> 00:51:54.599
 I resist

00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:55.839
 I make it

00:51:55.839 --> 00:51:56.119
 slower

00:51:56.119 --> 00:51:56.980
 sometimes

00:51:56.980 --> 00:51:57.839
 but he's

00:51:57.839 --> 00:51:58.219
 patient

00:51:58.219 --> 00:51:58.759
 so

00:51:58.759 --> 00:52:00.099
 yeah

00:52:00.099 --> 00:52:00.739
 God is

00:52:00.739 --> 00:52:02.359
 God is a

00:52:02.359 --> 00:52:03.000
 family God

00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:03.679
 and he

00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:06.039
 doesn't mind

00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:06.439
 dealing

00:52:06.439 --> 00:52:07.500
 he came down

00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:08.699
 into our

00:52:08.699 --> 00:52:09.299
 space

00:52:09.299 --> 00:52:10.619
 to deal

00:52:10.619 --> 00:52:11.019
 with the

00:52:11.019 --> 00:52:11.379
 mess

00:52:11.379 --> 00:52:12.579
 and to

00:52:12.579 --> 00:52:12.980
 live with

00:52:12.980 --> 00:52:13.279
 us

00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:14.640
 brings

00:52:14.640 --> 00:52:15.019
 the

00:52:15.019 --> 00:52:16.360
 transcendent

00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:18.360
 I think

00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:18.740
 I wonder

00:52:18.740 --> 00:52:19.200
 if that

00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:19.820
 tension

00:52:19.820 --> 00:52:20.240
 of

00:52:20.240 --> 00:52:20.580
 light

00:52:20.580 --> 00:52:21.000
 and love

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:21.519
 I think

00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:22.840
 also

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:23.420
 helps

00:52:23.420 --> 00:52:24.440
 or

00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:25.040
 reflects

00:52:25.040 --> 00:52:25.600
 the tension

00:52:25.600 --> 00:52:26.080
 between

00:52:26.080 --> 00:52:26.700
 us being

00:52:26.700 --> 00:52:27.320
 justified

00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:28.060
 and sanctified

00:52:28.060 --> 00:52:28.440
 I think

00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:28.900
 in the sense

00:52:28.900 --> 00:52:29.140
 in which

00:52:29.140 --> 00:52:29.940
 God loves

00:52:29.940 --> 00:52:30.280
 us

00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:31.580
 but like

00:52:31.580 --> 00:52:33.140
 Abraham

00:52:33.140 --> 00:52:33.760
 in some

00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:34.140
 way was

00:52:34.140 --> 00:52:34.560
 a friend

00:52:34.560 --> 00:52:34.940
 of God

00:52:34.940 --> 00:52:35.420
 there is

00:52:35.420 --> 00:52:36.380
 a place

00:52:36.380 --> 00:52:36.960
 of being

00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:37.460
 known

00:52:37.460 --> 00:52:37.900
 and like

00:52:37.900 --> 00:52:38.240
 you know

00:52:38.240 --> 00:52:38.660
 who

00:52:38.659 --> 00:52:39.559
 and when

00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:39.859
 Jesus

00:52:39.859 --> 00:52:40.440
 talks about

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:40.799
 those who

00:52:40.799 --> 00:52:41.420
 obey my

00:52:41.420 --> 00:52:41.920
 commandments

00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:42.460
 and I

00:52:42.460 --> 00:52:42.759
 think when

00:52:42.759 --> 00:52:44.159
 we sin

00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:45.539
 we suffer

00:52:45.539 --> 00:52:46.119
 his displeasure

00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:46.359
 and I

00:52:46.359 --> 00:52:46.639
 think it's

00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:46.920
 fair to

00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:47.119
 say in

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:47.579
 those moments

00:52:47.579 --> 00:52:47.899
 like

00:52:47.899 --> 00:52:49.619
 maybe he

00:52:49.619 --> 00:52:49.859
 wouldn't

00:52:49.859 --> 00:52:50.219
 like us

00:52:50.219 --> 00:52:50.500
 the same

00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:50.739
 way we

00:52:50.739 --> 00:52:51.159
 think about

00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:51.399
 others

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:53.260
 but I

00:52:53.260 --> 00:52:53.840
 think the

00:52:53.840 --> 00:52:54.960
 bedrock

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:55.400
 of love

00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:55.740
 doesn't

00:52:55.740 --> 00:52:56.280
 change

00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:57.840
 what

00:52:57.840 --> 00:52:58.440
 changes

00:52:58.440 --> 00:52:59.780
 is the

00:52:59.780 --> 00:53:00.300
 nuance

00:53:00.300 --> 00:53:00.599
 of

00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:01.579
 you say

00:53:01.579 --> 00:53:02.000
 fellowship

00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:02.320
 for

00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:02.500
 life

00:53:02.500 --> 00:53:02.680
 and

00:53:02.680 --> 00:53:03.700
 so

00:53:03.700 --> 00:53:04.019
 I

00:53:04.019 --> 00:53:04.559
 think

00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:05.200
 it's

00:53:05.200 --> 00:53:06.700
 a way

00:53:06.700 --> 00:53:07.180
 to think

00:53:07.180 --> 00:53:07.599
 about

00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:08.800
 those two

00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:10.260
 times

00:53:10.260 --> 00:53:10.840
 when we

00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:11.420
 distance

00:53:11.420 --> 00:53:12.000
 from God

00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:12.400
 because of

00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:12.820
 our sin

00:53:12.820 --> 00:53:13.920
 and our

00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:14.420
 sin makes

00:53:14.420 --> 00:53:14.880
 us feel

00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:15.240
 distant

00:53:15.240 --> 00:53:15.840
 from God

00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:16.420
 and God

00:53:16.420 --> 00:53:17.480
 is essentially

00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:18.519
 using that

00:53:18.519 --> 00:53:18.880
 as a way

00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:19.340
 to draw us

00:53:19.340 --> 00:53:19.840
 close to him

00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:20.180
 but I

00:53:20.180 --> 00:53:20.440
 don't know

00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:20.720
 that it

00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:20.920
 is

00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:21.360
 and to

00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:21.860
 purify

00:53:21.860 --> 00:53:22.039
 it

00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:23.460
 I think

00:53:23.460 --> 00:53:23.880
 both of

00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:24.200
 those

00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:24.940
 perceptions

00:53:24.940 --> 00:53:25.500
 do have

00:53:25.500 --> 00:53:25.980
 a role

00:53:25.980 --> 00:53:26.659
 in reminding

00:53:26.659 --> 00:53:27.200
 us that

00:53:27.200 --> 00:53:28.200
 the goal

00:53:28.200 --> 00:53:28.559
 is to

00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:29.200
 grow deeper

00:53:29.200 --> 00:53:29.800
 in fellowship

00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:30.720
 and in love

00:53:30.720 --> 00:53:31.300
 with God

00:53:31.300 --> 00:53:33.400
 but it

00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:33.840
 starts with

00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:34.460
 the bedrock

00:53:34.460 --> 00:53:34.820
 of his

00:53:34.820 --> 00:53:35.579
 love for us

00:53:35.579 --> 00:53:36.119
 and actually

00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:37.000
 without that

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:38.340
 that idea

00:53:38.340 --> 00:53:39.019
 of being like

00:53:39.019 --> 00:53:39.420
 by him

00:53:39.420 --> 00:53:39.960
 is not even

00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:40.760
 possible

00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.480
 I think

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:42.940
 we can't

00:53:42.940 --> 00:53:43.579
 destroy the

00:53:43.579 --> 00:53:43.940
 dignity

00:53:43.940 --> 00:53:44.360
 we've been

00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:45.079
 given as

00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:45.820
 made in God's

00:53:45.820 --> 00:53:46.159
 image

00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:46.820
 that's

00:53:46.820 --> 00:53:47.599
 been really

00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:48.139
 important for

00:53:48.139 --> 00:53:48.380
 me

00:53:48.380 --> 00:53:48.900
 is

00:53:48.900 --> 00:53:51.119
 his

00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:54.840
 displeasure

00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:55.380
 lasts for a

00:53:55.380 --> 00:53:55.599
 moment

00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:56.059
 but his

00:53:56.059 --> 00:53:56.400
 love

00:53:56.400 --> 00:53:57.440
 lasts for a

00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:57.639
 moment

00:53:57.639 --> 00:53:59.800
 I was reading

00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:00.460
 a book by

00:54:00.460 --> 00:54:01.220
 Michael Horton

00:54:01.219 --> 00:54:02.139
 I got it

00:54:02.139 --> 00:54:02.779
 downstairs in

00:54:02.779 --> 00:54:03.239
 my lending

00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:03.799
 library

00:54:03.799 --> 00:54:05.439
 when the

00:54:05.439 --> 00:54:05.980
 apostles

00:54:05.980 --> 00:54:06.739
 or the

00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:07.159
 disciples

00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:07.559
 were in

00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:08.019
 the boat

00:54:08.019 --> 00:54:08.459
 in the

00:54:08.459 --> 00:54:08.779
 sea of

00:54:08.779 --> 00:54:09.259
 Galilee

00:54:09.259 --> 00:54:09.819
 and the

00:54:09.819 --> 00:54:10.480
 waves came

00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:10.719
 up

00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:11.000
 and they

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:11.079
 were

00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:11.519
 master

00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:11.959
 master

00:54:11.959 --> 00:54:12.179
 we're

00:54:12.179 --> 00:54:12.419
 going to

00:54:12.419 --> 00:54:12.759
 drown

00:54:12.759 --> 00:54:13.559
 wake up

00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:14.159
 and he

00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:14.659
 was just

00:54:14.659 --> 00:54:15.480
 asleep

00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:16.900
 and Michael

00:54:16.900 --> 00:54:17.460
 Horton

00:54:17.460 --> 00:54:18.300
 in one of

00:54:18.300 --> 00:54:18.699
 his books

00:54:18.699 --> 00:54:19.000
 in the

00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:19.460
 face of

00:54:19.460 --> 00:54:19.860
 God

00:54:19.860 --> 00:54:20.960
 the dangers

00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:21.740
 of spiritual

00:54:21.740 --> 00:54:22.320
 intimacy

00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:23.900
 talks about

00:54:23.900 --> 00:54:26.420
 oh the

00:54:26.420 --> 00:54:26.900
 waves are

00:54:26.900 --> 00:54:27.539
 getting big

00:54:27.539 --> 00:54:28.679
 let's wake

00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:29.059
 them up

00:54:29.059 --> 00:54:29.500
 we might

00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:29.920
 drown

00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:30.920
 no it

00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:31.639
 was a

00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:32.340
 dreaded

00:54:32.340 --> 00:54:33.199
 fear

00:54:33.199 --> 00:54:34.460
 when

00:54:34.460 --> 00:54:36.059
 Job

00:54:36.059 --> 00:54:36.820
 was before

00:54:36.820 --> 00:54:37.240
 God

00:54:37.240 --> 00:54:37.559
 in the

00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:37.900
 pillar

00:54:37.900 --> 00:54:38.539
 of the

00:54:38.539 --> 00:54:39.019
 cloud

00:54:39.019 --> 00:54:40.039
 or when

00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:40.900
 Moses saw

00:54:40.900 --> 00:54:41.599
 the backside

00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:42.440
 of God

00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:44.099
 it was

00:54:44.099 --> 00:54:44.420
 like

00:54:44.420 --> 00:54:45.340
 this

00:54:45.340 --> 00:54:45.920
 gentle

00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:46.559
 man

00:54:46.559 --> 00:54:46.860
 in the

00:54:46.860 --> 00:54:47.059
 front

00:54:47.059 --> 00:54:47.380
 of this

00:54:47.380 --> 00:54:47.700
 boat

00:54:47.700 --> 00:54:49.059
 can kill

00:54:49.059 --> 00:54:49.559
 us

00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:51.440
 it's not

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:52.059
 the water

00:54:52.059 --> 00:54:52.500
 that we

00:54:52.500 --> 00:54:52.820
 should be

00:54:52.820 --> 00:54:53.559
 afraid of

00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:54.360
 or the

00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:54.820
 wind that

00:54:54.820 --> 00:54:55.400
 he stopped

00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:56.720
 it's him

00:54:56.720 --> 00:54:58.300
 it's him

00:54:58.300 --> 00:54:59.460
 and he

00:54:59.460 --> 00:55:00.380
 loves us

00:55:00.380 --> 00:55:01.420
 but he

00:55:01.420 --> 00:55:01.740
 can just

00:55:01.740 --> 00:55:02.079
 like

00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:03.740
 in a

00:55:03.740 --> 00:55:04.119
 second

00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:04.559
 but he

00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:05.599
 doesn't

00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:05.980
 you know

00:55:05.980 --> 00:55:06.720
 it's like

00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:07.159
 wow

00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:07.860
 our God

00:55:07.860 --> 00:55:08.179
 is a

00:55:08.179 --> 00:55:08.860
 consuming

00:55:08.860 --> 00:55:09.519
 fire

00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:10.559
 yet he

00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:11.240
 loves us

00:55:11.240 --> 00:55:12.000
 and stoops

00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:13.260
 and loves

00:55:13.260 --> 00:55:13.659
 us

00:55:13.659 --> 00:55:15.019
 it just

00:55:15.019 --> 00:55:15.639
 blows my

00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:16.260
 mind

00:55:16.260 --> 00:55:16.699
 yeah

00:55:16.699 --> 00:55:17.539
 yeah

00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:17.960
 you know

00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:18.679
 he's crazy

00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:18.940
 around

00:55:18.940 --> 00:55:21.920
 it is

00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:22.300
 interesting

00:55:22.300 --> 00:55:22.860
 that the

00:55:22.860 --> 00:55:23.579
 first reaction

00:55:23.579 --> 00:55:24.280
 that people

00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:24.780
 in the

00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:26.079
 Bible have

00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:26.360
 when they

00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:26.960
 see

00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:28.380
 God

00:55:28.380 --> 00:55:28.920
 is not

00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:29.500
 of like

00:55:29.500 --> 00:55:29.980
 this is

00:55:29.980 --> 00:55:30.239
 great

00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:30.559
 but like

00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:30.980
 fear

00:55:30.980 --> 00:55:31.539
 right

00:55:31.539 --> 00:55:31.860
 like

00:55:31.860 --> 00:55:32.840
 I'm a

00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:33.119
 man of

00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:33.460
 unclean

00:55:33.460 --> 00:55:33.739
 lips

00:55:33.739 --> 00:55:34.059
 you're

00:55:34.059 --> 00:55:34.400
 going to

00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:34.780
 destroy

00:55:34.780 --> 00:55:35.199
 God

00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:35.539
 but then

00:55:35.539 --> 00:55:35.760
 God

00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:36.340
 invites

00:55:36.340 --> 00:55:36.599
 him

00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:37.320
 he

00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:38.059
 he

00:55:38.059 --> 00:55:38.539
 washes

00:55:38.539 --> 00:55:38.739
 him

00:55:38.739 --> 00:55:38.960
 clean

00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:39.320
 invites

00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:39.500
 him

00:55:39.500 --> 00:55:39.719
 in

00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:40.059
 so

00:55:40.059 --> 00:55:40.340
 it's

00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:40.719
 this

00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:42.379
 yeah

00:55:42.379 --> 00:55:42.759
 his

00:55:42.759 --> 00:55:43.239
 holiness

00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:44.039
 is

00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:44.379
 the

00:55:44.379 --> 00:55:44.799
 basis

00:55:44.799 --> 00:55:45.259
 of

00:55:45.259 --> 00:55:45.679
 our

00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:46.159
 our

00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:46.480
 fear

00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:46.759
 but his

00:55:46.759 --> 00:55:47.039
 holiness

00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:47.419
 actually

00:55:47.419 --> 00:55:48.000
 draws us

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:48.259
 in

00:55:48.259 --> 00:55:48.579
 into

00:55:48.579 --> 00:55:49.339
 fellowship

00:55:49.339 --> 00:55:49.579
 with

00:55:49.579 --> 00:55:49.759
 him

00:55:49.759 --> 00:55:51.899
 yeah

00:55:51.899 --> 00:55:52.899
 yeah

00:55:52.899 --> 00:55:53.419
 it's an

00:55:53.419 --> 00:55:53.739
 amazing

00:55:53.739 --> 00:55:54.419
 it's like a

00:55:54.419 --> 00:55:55.079
 three-year-old

00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:55.699
 kid watching

00:55:55.699 --> 00:55:56.259
 his son

00:55:56.259 --> 00:55:56.879
 his father

00:55:56.879 --> 00:55:57.759
 who was a

00:55:57.759 --> 00:55:58.419
 lumberjack

00:55:58.419 --> 00:55:59.579
 cut lumber

00:55:59.579 --> 00:56:00.439
 and he said

00:56:00.439 --> 00:56:00.939
 this is my

00:56:00.939 --> 00:56:01.359
 daddy

00:56:01.359 --> 00:56:02.219
 he can

00:56:02.219 --> 00:56:02.959
 destroy me

00:56:02.959 --> 00:56:03.439
 but he

00:56:03.439 --> 00:56:04.339
 loves me

00:56:04.339 --> 00:56:05.119
 yeah

00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:05.980
 he'll never

00:56:05.980 --> 00:56:06.599
 hurt me

00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:07.000
 right

00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:07.399
 yeah

00:56:07.399 --> 00:56:07.799
 you know

00:56:07.799 --> 00:56:08.419
 and it's like

00:56:08.419 --> 00:56:09.279
 that's how we

00:56:09.279 --> 00:56:09.559
 should be

00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:10.199
 with God

00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:10.779
 yeah

00:56:10.779 --> 00:56:11.419
 yeah

00:56:11.419 --> 00:56:11.980
 all this

00:56:11.980 --> 00:56:12.379
 truck

00:56:12.379 --> 00:56:12.839
 but he

00:56:12.839 --> 00:56:13.139
 won't

00:56:13.139 --> 00:56:13.759
 hurt us

00:56:13.759 --> 00:56:14.119
 yeah

00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:14.699
 yeah

00:56:14.699 --> 00:56:15.679
 yeah

00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:16.960
 he already

00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:17.960
 he struck

00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:18.359
 the sun

00:56:18.359 --> 00:56:18.699
 once

00:56:18.699 --> 00:56:19.059
 he won't

00:56:19.059 --> 00:56:20.480
 he won't

00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:20.960
 strike us

00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:21.279
 a second

00:56:21.279 --> 00:56:21.679
 time

00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:22.559
 yes

00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:23.099
 amen

00:56:23.099 --> 00:56:23.419
 brother

00:56:23.419 --> 00:56:27.699
 let me just

00:56:27.699 --> 00:56:28.259
 finish up

00:56:28.259 --> 00:56:29.119
 and I

00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:29.739
 have just a

00:56:29.739 --> 00:56:30.079
 few more

00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:30.559
 thoughts

00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:32.059
 we

00:56:32.059 --> 00:56:32.379
 imitate

00:56:32.379 --> 00:56:33.500
 the journey

00:56:33.500 --> 00:56:33.739
 in our

00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:33.939
 life

00:56:33.939 --> 00:56:34.299
 together

00:56:34.299 --> 00:56:34.659
 in our

00:56:34.659 --> 00:56:35.059
 families

00:56:35.059 --> 00:56:35.399
 and at

00:56:35.399 --> 00:56:35.559
 the

00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:35.899
 church

00:56:35.899 --> 00:56:37.019
 when we

00:56:37.019 --> 00:56:37.299
 mutually

00:56:37.299 --> 00:56:38.039
 love one

00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:38.299
 another

00:56:38.299 --> 00:56:38.639
 in the

00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:38.939
 church

00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:39.240
 we're

00:56:39.240 --> 00:56:39.500
 imaging

00:56:39.500 --> 00:56:39.820
 something

00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:40.159
 of God

00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:40.500
 himself

00:56:40.500 --> 00:56:40.960
 for people

00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:41.360
 outside

00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:41.900
 the church

00:56:41.900 --> 00:56:43.099
 as in

00:56:43.099 --> 00:56:43.380
 each

00:56:43.380 --> 00:56:44.039
 plays

00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:44.460
 as part

00:56:44.460 --> 00:56:44.720
 in the

00:56:44.720 --> 00:56:45.340
 grand play

00:56:45.340 --> 00:56:46.059
 of redemption

00:56:46.059 --> 00:56:47.380
 something

00:56:47.380 --> 00:56:48.400
 like

00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:49.599
 who God

00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:49.920
 is

00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:50.380
 between the

00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:50.920
 father son

00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:51.400
 and spirit

00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:54.039
 and we

00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:54.340
 said our

00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:54.659
 marriages

00:56:54.659 --> 00:56:55.220
 model something

00:56:55.220 --> 00:56:55.579
 of eternity

00:56:55.579 --> 00:56:56.139
 the wife

00:56:56.139 --> 00:56:56.539
 is not

00:56:56.539 --> 00:56:57.019
 inferior

00:56:57.019 --> 00:56:57.400
 and the

00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:57.639
 husband

00:56:57.639 --> 00:56:57.980
 is not

00:56:57.980 --> 00:56:58.240
 inferior

00:56:58.240 --> 00:56:58.860
 the children

00:56:58.860 --> 00:56:59.240
 are not

00:56:59.240 --> 00:56:59.800
 inferior

00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:00.400
 even though

00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:00.659
 they may

00:57:00.659 --> 00:57:01.480
 work differently

00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:02.139
 in the house

00:57:02.139 --> 00:57:02.619
 right

00:57:02.619 --> 00:57:04.019
 we're all

00:57:04.019 --> 00:57:04.440
 creating the

00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:04.920
 image of God

00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:05.599
 even if some

00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:06.119
 of us play

00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:07.079
 different roles

00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:08.659
 than others

00:57:08.659 --> 00:57:11.719
 and finally

00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:12.920
 the Trinity

00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:13.599
 should curb

00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:14.480
 intellectual pride

00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:16.519
 God calls

00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:17.159
 us to faith

00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:17.799
 in the absence

00:57:17.799 --> 00:57:18.799
 of a comprehensive

00:57:18.799 --> 00:57:19.599
 explanation

00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:21.179
 God is one

00:57:21.179 --> 00:57:21.819
 God is three

00:57:21.819 --> 00:57:22.199
 it doesn't

00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:22.940
 explain how

00:57:22.940 --> 00:57:23.639
 this is

00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:24.759
 and

00:57:24.759 --> 00:57:26.480
 as Christians

00:57:26.480 --> 00:57:27.159
 we receive it

00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:27.679
 by faith

00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:29.880
 someone once

00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:31.019
 asked a man

00:57:31.019 --> 00:57:31.960
 Daniel Webster

00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:32.599
 a prominent

00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:33.079
 orator

00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:33.699
 in the 19th

00:57:33.699 --> 00:57:33.980
 century

00:57:33.980 --> 00:57:35.219
 how a man

00:57:35.219 --> 00:57:35.819
 of his intellect

00:57:35.819 --> 00:57:36.319
 could believe

00:57:36.319 --> 00:57:36.900
 in contradiction

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:38.579
 that three

00:57:38.579 --> 00:57:39.380
 equals one

00:57:39.380 --> 00:57:40.579
 Webster

00:57:40.579 --> 00:57:40.960
 replied

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:41.980
 I do not

00:57:41.980 --> 00:57:42.380
 fully

00:57:42.380 --> 00:57:43.420
 pretend to

00:57:43.420 --> 00:57:43.820
 understand

00:57:43.820 --> 00:57:44.320
 the arithmetic

00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:44.820
 of heaven

00:57:44.820 --> 00:57:45.139
 now

00:57:45.139 --> 00:57:47.760
 but the

00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:48.059
 doctrine

00:57:48.059 --> 00:57:48.320
 of the

00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:48.579
 Trinity

00:57:48.579 --> 00:57:49.000
 doesn't

00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:49.340
 mean that

00:57:49.340 --> 00:57:50.160
 three

00:57:50.160 --> 00:57:51.579
 equals

00:57:51.579 --> 00:57:52.099
 it's not

00:57:52.099 --> 00:57:52.599
 a contradiction

00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:53.119
 but it

00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:53.720
 does show

00:57:53.720 --> 00:57:54.340
 a humility

00:57:54.340 --> 00:57:55.000
 in approaching

00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:55.680
 the subject

00:57:55.680 --> 00:57:57.240
 and so

00:57:57.240 --> 00:57:57.660
 with that

00:57:57.660 --> 00:57:57.940
 friends

00:57:57.940 --> 00:57:58.460
 we've reached

00:57:58.460 --> 00:57:59.079
 a little

00:57:59.079 --> 00:57:59.500
 bit

00:57:59.500 --> 00:58:00.440
 there's so

00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:00.880
 much more

00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:01.280
 we can

00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:02.440
 plumb the

00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:02.980
 depths of

00:58:02.980 --> 00:58:04.660
 and that's

00:58:04.660 --> 00:58:05.119
 why we

00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:05.579
 worship an

00:58:05.579 --> 00:58:05.880
 awesome

00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:07.119
 God

00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:07.380
 who is

00:58:07.380 --> 00:58:07.760
 beyond

00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:08.079
 our

00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:08.539
 finite

00:58:08.539 --> 00:58:10.099
 comprehension

00:58:10.099 --> 00:58:11.500
 so let me

00:58:11.500 --> 00:58:11.860
 pray

00:58:11.860 --> 00:58:12.480
 and if there's

00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:12.700
 any other

00:58:12.700 --> 00:58:13.059
 questions

00:58:13.059 --> 00:58:13.480
 we can do

00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:13.700
 that

00:58:13.700 --> 00:58:14.960
 Father in

00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:15.099
 heaven

00:58:15.099 --> 00:58:15.539
 we do

00:58:15.539 --> 00:58:16.119
 thank you

00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:16.599
 for the

00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:17.460
 light of

00:58:17.460 --> 00:58:18.099
 understanding

00:58:18.099 --> 00:58:18.860
 by your

00:58:18.860 --> 00:58:19.320
 word

00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:20.420
 by special

00:58:20.420 --> 00:58:20.920
 revelation

00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:21.460
 you reveal

00:58:21.460 --> 00:58:22.099
 yourself to

00:58:22.099 --> 00:58:22.440
 us

00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:23.460
 and you

00:58:23.460 --> 00:58:23.800
 are not

00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:24.140
 a God

00:58:24.140 --> 00:58:24.500
 that we

00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:24.960
 could just

00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:25.340
 create

00:58:25.340 --> 00:58:25.800
 out of a

00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:26.099
 figment

00:58:26.099 --> 00:58:26.360
 of our

00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:26.900
 imagination

00:58:26.900 --> 00:58:27.240
 Lord

00:58:27.240 --> 00:58:27.660
 you are

00:58:27.660 --> 00:58:28.039
 an awesome

00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:28.420
 God

00:58:28.420 --> 00:58:29.519
