0:02What's up everybody?
0:05[laughter]
0:06Man, y'all some morning people. Man, I'm
0:09on reserve energy. I'm letting you guys
0:11know right now. So, pray for me. All
0:12right. My voice is a little raspy. I
0:16might sound like a little deep priest,
0:18you know, but I need y'all with me. I
0:20need y'all to encourage me. Okay. Um,
0:22we're going to be going through,
0:23obviously, we're going to be going
0:24through the Trinity in the Old
0:27Testament. And a lot of us are used to
0:29the New Testament. We usually argue the
0:31deity of Christ in the Gospels, in
0:35Paul's letters, that blasphemer. Oh,
0:38Paul. You know,
0:40why is it always Paul? Everybody got to
0:42blame Paul. We're not going to use Paul
0:44today. Okay? Is that cool? We're not
0:47We're not going to use Paul today. All
0:48right? I'm going to talk to you guys. I
0:49need y'all to talk back to me. I like us
0:51to be interactive. It's going to be
0:53conversational. Okay? We're friends
0:55here. We're brothers and sisters, right?
0:57Okay. So, yeah, we're not going to use
0:59Paul. We're not We're not going to use
1:01John. We We really love John. John
1:03really talk about the deity of Christ,
1:05but you know, we're not going to use
1:06John. We might use him once. Once.
1:08That's it. If I use them twice, kick me
1:10off the stage. Okay. All right. But
1:12once, I promise. John one time. Um, not
1:16Matthew, not Luke, not Mark, not the
1:19vers. We're going to stick to the Old
1:22Testament because a lot of the
1:23accusation is that the Trinity is
1:25something new. The trinity is something
1:28pagan. The trinity is something that
1:30Paul made up when he timeraveled 300
1:32years later with Constantine at the
1:34council of Nika. And then they got
1:36together and came up with this trinity
1:38doctrine. You guys heard this before.
1:40>> Yeah. Right. Okay. Okay. Cool. So, we
1:43know how Paul timeraveled. All right.
1:46>> [clears throat]
1:46>> So, with this being said, we're going to
1:49demonstrate that the Trinity is fluent
1:54throughout the Old Testament. As a
1:57matter of fact, ladies and gentlemen,
1:58I'm going to barely leave Genesis.
2:02We're going to demonstrate the trinity
2:04in the book of Genesis,
2:07Exodus, and so on, but mainly in Genesis
2:10because God gives us a hint of his
2:12plurality within his uh singularity
2:16right in the beginning. And this is
2:18important. Obviously, we already know we
2:21got that God created the heavens and the
2:23earth, right? in verse two of Genesis
2:26chapter 1 that the spirit of God was
2:29hovering over the waters. Now, when we
2:32look at the Old Testament, this doesn't
2:34really seem at face value something that
2:38deep. We have God who created the
2:39heavens and the earth. Okay, yeah,
2:40that's simple, right? He created the
2:42heavens and the earth. The spirit of God
2:44hovered over the face of the of the
2:47waters, over the depths. Okay, cool. But
2:49why why is that significant? What what
2:52makes that significant? Well, when we
2:55look throughout the Old Testament, we
2:57see that creation is attributed not just
3:01to the father, but also to the word of
3:04the father and also to the spirit of the
3:07father, the spirit of God. So, for
3:09example, we have Psalm 104. You guys
3:12taking notes?
3:13>> Cuz we there's only one thing we do
3:15around here, ladies and gentlemen. What
3:16is that?
3:17>> We just read. We're going to do a lot of
3:19reading, y'all. All right. All right, I
3:20don't got no slides, but we got we got
3:23some we got some scriptures. So, make
3:24sure you guys take notes because I want
3:26you guys to use this in your ministry.
3:29Use this in your dialogues with other
3:31people who challenge the Trinity, who
3:33challenge your belief. Okay. Psalm 104,
3:37[clears throat]
3:38starting at verse 29, we're going to do
3:4029 and 30. Psalm 104, 29 and 30. It says
3:43this, "You hide your face and they are
3:47dismayed. You take away their spirit,
3:51they they breathe their last and they
3:54return to dust.
3:56Verse 30, here it is. And you send forth
3:59your spirit and they are created.
4:04You renew the face of the ground. So
4:07notice this. It's by the spirit of God
4:11that man is created. And it's by the
4:14spirit of God that the ground is
4:16renewed. Remember the spirit hovering
4:18over the waters. The spirit hovering
4:20over the waters is a euphemism for the
4:23spirit actively watching over creation.
4:26Like a eagle hovers over the eggs or
4:29hovers over the ground hunting for food.
4:31The spirit of God is hovering over the
4:33waters. The spirit of God is renewing
4:36the ground. He sends his spirit and they
4:39are created. That's one. Here we go
4:43again. We got Job chapter 33. Mark this
4:47down ladies and gents.
4:49Job chapter 33
4:52verse number four. This is what Job
4:55says.
4:57It says, "The spirit of God has made me
5:02and the breath of the Almighty gives me
5:04life."
5:07Notice in this pattern, the spirit of
5:10God, the Holy Spirit is responsible for
5:14creation.
5:16Yet he is distinct from the father. He's
5:20the spirit of God.
5:23Distinct from God at the same time, yet
5:26one in essence with him. How is it that
5:29we explain this? How is it that we can
5:33get around this?
5:35So we have the spirit who creates. It's
5:38the word who creates. It's the father
5:40who creates. But yet the scripture is
5:43very clear ladies and gentlemen that
5:45it's one God who created all things.
5:48Deuteronomy chapter 6 vers4. Muslims
5:50quote this all the time. Here O Israel,
5:52the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
5:55Correct? There's only one God,
5:59right?
6:00There's only one God, one divine
6:03essence, one divine being. Yet, we see
6:06that it's the spirit of God who has
6:08created us. It's the spirit of God who
6:10renews the ground. And it's by his word
6:13that we are created. Now, this is the
6:15only time I'm going to use John. Y'all
6:17know where I'm going. John chapter 1
6:19verse one. It's the only time I said it.
6:21If I use John after this, kick me off
6:23the stage. I'll get out of here. All
6:24right. I need to get some sleep anyway.
6:26All right.
6:28John what? In the mining.
6:34Wait. Um, sorry.
6:37In the beginning.
6:41Okay, let me just read.
6:43In the be got it. In the beginning,
6:46there it is. In the beginning was the
6:48word and the word was with God and the
6:52word was God. So we see that the word is
6:56a distinct person who also possesses the
6:58divine essence. He's a distinct person
7:00from the other one who is also God. It
7:02says that he was in the beginning with
7:04God all things. Say all things, ladies
7:07and gentlemen.
7:09>> Somehow this is a concept that is really
7:11difficult for people to get. Some people
7:13don't believe that all things means all
7:15things. Can you guys believe that? You
7:17go to a Muslim or Jehovah's Witnesses,
7:19you say all things, they say, "Yeah, all
7:20other things."
7:23I mean it don't it don't it don't say
7:25that though [laughter] that's not there
7:27says all things were created through him
7:31and watch this just to hey John was
7:33making sure he was clear about this
7:35there's no confusion he goes on to say
7:38and without him was not anything made
7:42that has been made pretty clear right am
7:46I am I tripping that's pretty that's
7:49that's an explicit verse is it not an
7:52unequivocal statement,
7:56right? That the word of God created all
7:59things and yet is distinct from the God
8:02that he's with, the father. And we see
8:04later on, obviously, the word became
8:06flesh. We beheld his glory as the only
8:08begotten son of the father, full of
8:10grace and truth. So, we have the spirit
8:12who creates. We have the son who
8:14creates. We have the uh the father who
8:17creates which is a no-brainer but just
8:19to give you a verse Deuteronomy 32:6 it
8:23says it says is this how you repay
8:27Yahweh is he not your father who created
8:31you
8:33father that's one
8:35spirit that's two
8:38word that's three sounds like the
8:40trinity doesn't it
8:43sounds like the trinity is right there
8:45in the scripture. It's not something we
8:47have to philosophize. It's not something
8:49we have to make up. It's not something
8:51we have to read into the text. The text
8:53is blatantly clear that there are three
8:56that are identified as the creator. As a
8:59matter of fact, if this was the case,
9:01ladies and gentlemen, I think that it
9:04would be appropriate if every now and
9:08then we might see God referred to as the
9:12creators,
9:14the makers, right? If he's triune, we
9:19might we might see this type of
9:20language. Well, [laughter]
9:23bubble bursting. We actually do. It's
9:25right here in Job. In Job, ladies and
9:28gentlemen, in Job 35:10,
9:31I want you guys to write this one down.
9:34Job 35:10, if God is triune, we should
9:38expect to see some plural language, some
9:42plural adjectives, some plural nouns
9:45when it when it comes to God, some
9:47plural verbs. Right now, this is what it
9:50says. Now, in most English translations,
9:52it won't catch it. You got to get to the
9:54Hebrew. Okay? Because this is what it
9:57says. It says, "But none says, "Where is
10:01God, my makers?"
10:04In the Hebrew, the word is oay.
10:07Everybody say, "O."
10:12>> It means my makers plural. The singular
10:17of this word is osa. Say osa.
10:20>> Osa. Really? Hey, that sounds good, man.
10:22Kind of, you know. All right. So it's oh
10:25say where no one asks no one says where
10:29is God my makers who gives songs in the
10:34night. So if God is triune this is
10:37exactly what I expect to see. I expect
10:41to see God refer referred to in the
10:44plural when it comes to him being the
10:45creator but still being singular in his
10:50essence. This sounds like the trinity
10:52does it not? Yes,
10:54>> this this this looks just like the
10:55Trinity. Am I Are we on the same page
10:57here, y'all? So, here it is. We have Ge
11:01uh that God is referred to as the
11:04makers. Watch this. Here's another one.
11:07Psalm 149:2.
11:10Psalm 149 verse two.
11:15It says, "Let Israel be glad in his
11:19makers."
11:21O say. There it is again. Remember this
11:24is the plural form of Osa. O say our
11:28makers. It says let the children of Zion
11:31rejoice in their king.
11:33Here we have it again. God referred to
11:36in the plurality of creators
11:40trinity one God.
11:44A lot of times, like I said, you got to
11:46check with the Hebrew. If you have uh
11:48you know, Bible interlinear, if you have
11:49logos, um use these use these uh
11:53devices, use these uh platforms to help
11:56you look at the interlinear because that
11:58will help you see that uh you know what
12:00the English doesn't really catch out.
12:02Okay. Now,
12:05like I said, we're going to be using a
12:06lot of Genesis because there's this
12:09particular figure that a lot of people
12:11are confused about, especially the Jews,
12:13rabbitic Jews. Rebbitic Jews don't know
12:15how to deal with this guy.
12:18Anybody guess who I'm talking about?
12:21Huh?
12:22>> Say it with your chest.
12:24>> There we go. The angel of the Lord,
12:27baby. This is my favorite guy in the Old
12:30Testament. Not Moses, not Jacob, the
12:34angel of the Lord. Why? Because he
12:37speaks
12:39like he he just reminds me of somebody,
12:41man. There's There's somebody the angel
12:43of the Lord reminds me of the way that
12:44he he operates, the way that he speaks.
12:46He speaks as a messenger sent from the
12:49father, humbles himself to the father,
12:52but also speaks not like saying here's
12:55what the father says, here's what the
12:56lord says, but he will come to Moses.
12:59He'll come to Abraham. He'll come to to
13:02Hagar. [clears throat] He'll come to
13:03Jacob and said, "I made this covenant
13:05with you." I'm like, who does he think
13:08he is?
13:10This sounds familiar because this is how
13:12this is how our Lord Jesus speaks. Our
13:15Lord Jesus, he comes and he says, "You
13:17have heard it say, you have heard it
13:19say, you have heard it say, you have
13:22read, but I say to you, I say, here's my
13:28command." They It's just kind of like
13:31the same kind of guy, isn't it? It's a
13:34little It's a little It's a little
13:35interesting, but let's see. You know, I
13:37might just be talking. Let's just see.
13:39Genesis chapter 28.
13:41this angel of the Lord figure. Genesis
13:44chapter 28
13:46starting in verse 10. Jacob is on the
13:48run. He just stole Esau's birthright.
13:53That that conniving Jacob. You know, see
13:55this is how you know the Bible's
13:56corrupted. Cuz how could how could God
13:58pick Jacob? How how could God pick Jacob
14:01to be his messenger and to to continue
14:04his covenant? It ain't this doesn't this
14:06show the Bible got corrupted? No. Y'all
14:08silent. Christians, y'all debunked.
14:10Christians exposed.
14:12Y'all exposed, man. Nah, man. You know
14:16I'm a secret mumon.
14:19Genesis chapter 28, starting at verse
14:2110, it says, "Then Jacob departed
14:25Beersa and went toward Haram." I'm going
14:27to skip down to where he starts having
14:29the dream. Verse 12, "Then he had a
14:32dream, and behold, a ladder stood on the
14:36earth with its top touching heaven.
14:40And behold, the angels of God were
14:43ascending and descending on it. And
14:45behold, watch what it says. Yahweh stood
14:50at the top.
14:52Yahweh's there. He's seeing Yahweh
14:54standing at the top of the staircase.
14:57The angels traveling to and fro. Yahweh
15:00at the front. And this is what he says.
15:02[clears throat]
15:04Yahweh stood above it and said, "I am
15:06Yahweh." Notice it's very clear verse. I
15:09am Yahweh, the God of your father
15:11Abraham, and the God of Isaac. The land
15:14on which you lie, I will give it to you
15:17and to your seed. And your seed will
15:21also be like the dust of the earth, and
15:23you will spread out to the west and to
15:26the east, to the north, to the south,
15:28and in you and in your seed all the
15:32families of the earth shall be blessed.
15:37Notice this, guys. Just as a little
15:38sidebar, I know Vocab is here. He deals
15:40with a lot of Hebrew Israelites. Notice
15:42how Hey, notice how God says here in the
15:46beginning when he's making the covenant
15:48that it's in you that all the families
15:50of the earth will be blessed. He's not
15:53just thinking of Israel. He's not just
15:54thinking of one family, but every family
15:58on the planet has the opportunity of
16:00being blessed through the one seed of
16:02Jacob, through the Messiah. That's how
16:05good our God is. This is the gospel
16:07message right now. Watch this. This is
16:09important. Then Jacob awoke.
16:12He awoke and then he this is what he
16:14does. He makes a vow. He says, "Surely
16:17Yahweh is in this place and I did not
16:19know it." How many times have we been in
16:22a place in our lives where we where God
16:24was near and we didn't even recognize
16:26him? Where God was close by and we
16:28couldn't even we couldn't feel it. We
16:30didn't know. But once we get that that
16:32that light bulb, it hits. There's a new
16:35fire that ignites in us. This is how God
16:37reveals himself to his people. So he
16:39says, "I didn't know it." And he was
16:42afraid and said, "How fearsome is this
16:44place? This is none other than the house
16:47of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
16:50So Jacob rose up early in the morning,
16:53took a stone, put it under that that he
16:56put on his head, set it up as a pillar,
16:59and poured oil on top of it. He anointed
17:01anointed it. And he called the name of
17:04the place Bethl, which means house of
17:06God. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If
17:10God will be with me and will keep me on
17:13this journey on which I am going, and
17:16will give me food to eat, garments to
17:18wear, and I return to my father's house
17:21in in peace, then Yahweh will be my
17:24God." Now guys, I want you guys to pay
17:26attention. That vow was important. Who
17:29is he making the vow to? Yahweh God. Is
17:31that correct? And he says, "If Yahweh
17:34will keep me, right, keep me safe, if
17:36he'll clothe me, feed me, give me drink,
17:39keep me in peace, let me return home
17:41safely, if he keeps me on my journey,
17:44Yahweh will be my God." That's who he's
17:46making his vow to. Is that correct?
17:48>> We all on the same page.
17:50>> All right. Now, let's travel through the
17:52Bible with me. Genesis 31. This is 28.
17:55Genesis 31.
17:58Genesis 31, starting at verse 11.
18:02This is good Bible, is it not? This is
18:05good Bible. I told you I ain't got no
18:06slides for y'all, but I got scripture.
18:08All right.
18:10Genesis chapter 31, starting at verse
18:1211.
18:15It says, "Then the angel of God
18:18said to me in a dream,
18:22Jacob,
18:23and I said, here I am." He said, "Lift
18:26up now your eyes and see that all the
18:30male goats which has been which I'm
18:32sorry, which are mating and striped,
18:34speckled and modeled, for I have seen
18:38all that Laban has been doing to you."
18:43Now, notice how he's speaking.
18:45He doesn't say, "For God has seen what
18:48has been happening to you." He doesn't
18:50say, "For thus says the Lord, he sees
18:53you in your trouble, Jacob." He says,"I
18:55have seen you. I have seen all that
18:58Laban has been doing to you." Now, watch
19:01what he caps this off as. He says, verse
19:0313, "I am the God of Bethl,
19:09where you anointed a pillar, where you
19:12made a vow to me.
19:16Now arise, leave this land, and return
19:20to the land of your kin." What did Jacob
19:23pray? Jacob prayed, "If he keeps me in
19:26this journey, helps me return to my
19:29father's house in peace, gives me food
19:31to drink, clothes, then Yahweh will be
19:34my God." The angel of the Lord says,
19:36"That was me who you made a vow to. I'm
19:39the God of Bethl. That was my house.
19:42That was me standing at the top of this
19:44of the of the staircase.
19:47That was me in front of all the angels
19:49that made a covenant with you that day.
19:51It was me."
19:53Who does this angel think he is? He
19:54clearly says he's God. Unequivocally.
19:57Unambiguously.
19:59It's an unequivocal statement.
20:03It is an unambiguous verse where the
20:07angel of the Lord, peace and blessings
20:09be from him, says, "I am God."
20:14Very clear. Right? Now, here's what's
20:17interesting, guys. Notice now I'm ask
20:20you guys this. Maybe you guys know the
20:21answer to this. Who is the only one who
20:25is able to receive sacrifices and
20:28worship?
20:31Man, not not a lot of you guys know
20:33this. Just a few of you. Say it with
20:36your chest.
20:37>> Yahweh. God Almighty. Is that correct?
20:41>> So only God Yahweh Almighty can receive
20:43sacrifices, can have an altar built to
20:46him and in in terms of worship. Is that
20:49correct? Now notice this because we're
20:51not just talking about bowing down and
20:53honoring. We're not just talking about
20:56uh you know proaneo where you just you
20:58know you just bow down. Jehovah's
20:59Witnesses will use this against you.
21:01Muslims will use this against you. Oh
21:02yeah well the kings will bow down to you
21:04know uh you know other people receive
21:06this type of honor. But there's a
21:08specific type of worship that only God
21:10receives. That's altar sacrifices,
21:15altar building and worship in that way.
21:18You with me? Let's travel through the
21:20Bible. Genesis 35,
21:24very first verse.
21:28Very first verse. Genesis chapter 35.
21:33Watch this guys.
21:36It says
21:38this. Now, this is right before Jacob is
21:39about to leave to Bethl like he said he
21:42would. It says, "Then God said to Jacob,
21:46arise,
21:48go up to Bethl and live there, and make
21:53an altar there
21:55to God, who appeared to you when you
21:58fled from your brother, Esau."
22:01Did y'all catch that?
22:02>> Yes.
22:04>> God is telling Jacob to build an altar
22:08to God that met him in Bethl.
22:12Why would God be appealing to another
22:15one who is also God and telling him to
22:18worship someone else
22:21unless this other person who is also God
22:25is also Yahweh worthy of worship the
22:27most high.
22:29Did y'all catch that? This isn't just
22:31another prophet or an angel saying,
22:33"Hey, this person is worthy of worship."
22:35This is God himself deeming that the
22:38angel of the Lord is God Almighty worthy
22:41of worship. Sound familiar? In Hebrews
22:44chapter 1 vers8, it says, "But of the
22:47Son, the Father says, "Your throne, oh
22:49God, is forever and ever. The scepter of
22:54uprightness is the scepter of your
22:55kingdom."
22:57So in the Old Testament we have God
22:59calling God God, the father calling the
23:02son God. And in the New Testament we
23:04have the father calling the son God.
23:07Mutual glorification.
23:09The father honors and glorifies the son
23:12and the son honors and glorifies the
23:14father in both the old and the new
23:17testament.
23:18Nothing changes guys.
23:21Nothing changes. The same thing we see
23:24in the new is what we saw in the old.
23:28All we got to do is just read.
23:31That's it. That's all we got to do is
23:34just read the text.
23:37And so this is why this is special. So
23:38if you want to present this, if you want
23:40to present this practically because
23:41having this knowledge is good, but
23:44presenting it is something else. You see
23:46how I presented it to you guys? How I
23:48delivered it to y'all? I asked you a
23:51question. Who is the only one that can
23:53receive altar worship? Have an altar
23:56built for them in worship? The obvious
24:00answer is Yahweh God Almighty.
24:03That's how you start it off. Then you
24:05show them Genesis 35:1.
24:08Then you show them that God appeals to
24:12the other, the angel of the Lord, and
24:14says, "Go build an altar for him where
24:18you met the God of Bethl."
24:20Amen. Now, here it is again. Remember
24:24what was uh Jacob asking for? Just a few
24:26things. What was he asking for in his
24:28vow? Protection. Yes. What's another
24:31one?
24:31>> Provision.
24:32>> Provisions.
24:36>> Shelter. That's right. Right. He's
24:39asking all these things on this journey.
24:42Provisions, shelter,
24:44uh uh protection,
24:47food, drink. Now, to cap it off, this is
24:51Jacob at the end of his life. Genesis
24:5448. Remember I told y'all we barely
24:56leave in Genesis, but we're at the end
24:58of it. Genesis 48, guys.
25:03Starting at verse 15 and 16.
25:06Now, here
25:08what's happening in context is Jacob
25:12finally met up with Joseph in Egypt.
25:15And so he meets his grandchildren
25:19and he's going to pray over his
25:20grandchildren that they be blessed and
25:23pray for Joseph and the rest of his sons
25:25uh the sons of Israel.
25:28And so here we are Genesis 48
25:32verse1 15. Watch what he says.
25:35And he blessed Joseph and said,
25:39"May the God
25:41before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac
25:43walked, the God who has been my shepherd
25:49throughout my life
25:52to this day. to this day.
25:56The angel
25:59who has redeemed me from evil,
26:02bless these boys,
26:05and may my name live on in them, and the
26:09names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,
26:12and may they grow into a multitude in
26:16the midst of the earth. Who's he praying
26:18to?
26:20That's true. He is praying to Yahweh.
26:22Now, if we were being specific, which
26:24person?
26:25>> The angel.
26:28Why in the world is a patriarch of the
26:32faith? Why in the world is a prophet of
26:36God, a messenger of God, praying to an
26:40angel?
26:42Why is he referring to the angel as the
26:45God who has kept him all his ways to
26:47this day? He says,
26:50"Why is it that this prophet of God,
26:52this patriarch is praying to the angel
26:55to make a multitude as if this angel can
26:58create, as if this angel can produce
27:02life and could command the seed of of
27:05Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Israel
27:09as if this angel is Yahweh, God of
27:13Bethl, that met him in that dream and
27:15said, "If you keep my commands, if you
27:17stick to my covenant. I will keep you
27:19all the days of your life. Jacob knew
27:22who his God was and Jacob was not a
27:26Unitarian.
27:29[laughter]
27:31Sorry JWs.
27:34Sorry Mumoon. Sorry Muslims. Jacob, your
27:37beloved prophet was not a Unitarian.
27:41[laughter]
27:42That man was a trinitarian y'all.
27:45That man was a trinitarian.
27:47So Jacob offers his prayer, his
27:51thanksgiving. He builds an altar in
27:54worship
27:55to the angel of the Lord, the God of
27:59Bethl, Yahweh, God Almighty, who's
28:02distinct from the Father who even sends
28:04the angel.
28:07Powerful stuff, isn't it? This is just
28:09Genesis. I haven't even got TO ISAIAH
28:12YET. LET'S GO TO ISAIAH. COME ON. Isaiah
28:16chapter 48. We ain't even did we ain't
28:18even got this far yet. This is just
28:20Genesis. Now, I could have went to
28:21Exodus
28:22where the angel of the Lord appears to
28:25Moses in the burning bush. We all know
28:27that. It's the angel of the Lord that
28:29appears to Moses in the fire. And then
28:31it says, "And Yahweh spoke to Moses from
28:34the midst of the bush. And the angel of
28:36the Lord says, I am the God of your
28:37fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. My
28:39name is Yahweh. That's my name forever."
28:41This is where we first get the name
28:42Yahweh, guys. It's from the angel of the
28:45Lord.
28:47Jesus is the first one to claim to be
28:49Yahweh, not the father. Deep, isn't it?
28:54That's deep. Now, in Isaiah chapter 48,
29:00we're going to read verses 12- 16.
29:04And I'm going to need y'all to help me
29:06with this verse because I have
29:07comprehension skills. Uh, you know, lack
29:09sometime.
29:11It says in verse 12,
29:14"Hear me, oh Jacob, even Israel, whom I
29:18called. I am he. I am the first.
29:23I am also the last." Who's speaking?
29:28I I need y'all to talk to me.
29:30>> Thank you. Good grief. Where y'all at?
29:33Look, guys, I'm the one who's not a
29:35morning person, okay? I'm from America.
29:38You guys are like from this. So, this is
29:40y'all y'all this afternoon for you guys.
29:42This is this is like 2 am for me right
29:45now. Okay. I need y'all's help. Okay.
29:49Help me out. Help help me help you. All
29:52right. Who's speaking?
29:56>> Thank you. Absolutely. Now, see, I can't
29:58sometimes I don't understand that
29:59sometimes. You know, I've, you know,
30:00reading comprehension when I talk to the
30:02Muslims, they they don't know who talks.
30:03All of a sudden, Yahweh is speaking. He
30:06continues and says, "Also, my hand
30:10founded the earth and my right hand
30:13spread out the heavens. When I called to
30:15them, they stand together." Who's
30:18speaking?
30:19>> Yahweh speaking. Okay. Assemble all of
30:22you and hear. Who among them has
30:26declared these things? Yahweh loves him.
30:29He will carry out his good pleasure on
30:31Babylon and his arm will be against the
30:35Chaldanss.
30:36I even I have spoken. Indeed, I have
30:40called him. I have brought him and he
30:44will make his ways successful. Who's
30:46speaking?
30:48>> So, no speaker changes here, right?
30:50>> Yahweh's been speaking this whole time.
30:52>> Okay. All right. Well, let's continue.
30:55Verse 16. Draw near to me. Hear this.
31:00From the first, I have spoken. I have
31:02not spoken in secret.
31:06From the time it took place, I was
31:07there. Who's speaking?
31:10>> He then goes on to say, "So now the Lord
31:13Yahweh has sent me and his spirit."
31:23>> Wait, does anybody have glasses?
31:26I mean, I don't need him, but I might
31:27need him for this cuz let me just zoom
31:30in real quick.
31:32So, now the Lord Yahweh
31:35has sent me and his spirit. Hold on. So,
31:41Yahweh is sent by Yahweh with the
31:45spirit. Hold on, guys. Help me. Can
31:48Yahweh, how many is that?
31:50Yahweh one, the speaker has
31:54sent me. How many is that?
31:57>> And his spirit. How many is that?
31:59>> But hold on a second. Yahweh is one.
32:03Yahweh here. O Israel. Yahweh our God.
32:06Yahweh is one.
32:09Why do I see three?
32:12See, I knew Christians believe one
32:13equals three. I knew it. 1 plus 1 plus 1
32:18equals equals 1. According to
32:20Christians, I knew it. Here we have a
32:25clear example where Yahweh the speaker
32:29refers to Yahweh who sends him with the
32:33spirit of Yahweh who's also being sent.
32:36One, two, three. Trinity in the Old
32:40Testament.
32:41Can it get any clearer than this?
32:45In light of guys, because remember,
32:48we started with the beginning. We built
32:51up to this, which is what the scripture
32:52does. The scripture builds up to this.
32:56It doesn't just give you this randomly.
32:58It's going to show you this in
33:00scripture. That way, when you see
33:03something like this, you ain't
33:04surprised.
33:05By the time you get to Isaiah, which is
33:09generations after Genesis, obviously, by
33:13the time you get to Isaiah, when you see
33:15a plurality within Yahweh, you ain't
33:18surprised. You ain't confused, cuz God
33:22already told you this.
33:25Am I right?
33:27>> He's already made this clear. Here's
33:30another example I like to see. Isaiah
33:3263.
33:34I love this passage.
33:37I love this passage.
33:40Starting at verse number 7. It's very
33:42beautiful.
33:45Very beautiful.
33:48Isaiah 63, starting at verse number
33:50seven.
33:54It says,"I shall bring to remembrance
33:57the loving kindness of Yahweh,
34:00the praises of Yahweh, according to all
34:03the ways that Yahweh has dealt
34:05bountifully with us, and the abundant
34:08goodness toward the house of Israel,
34:11which he has dealt bountifully to them,
34:14according to his compassion, and
34:16according to the abundance of his loving
34:18kindness."
34:20And he said, "Surely they are my people,
34:24sons who will not deal falsely." He
34:28became their savior.
34:31In all their distress, he was
34:33distressed.
34:35And the angel of his presence saved
34:38them. Wait a second. It just said that
34:41Yahweh became their savior. Then it just
34:44identified that it was the angel of his
34:46presence that became their savior. How
34:49many is that? So far,
34:51>> that's two. Isaiah 63, y'all. Isaiah 63.
34:57The angel of his presence. There he is
34:59again. I love that thing. I I just love
35:01that guy. He's always popping up
35:02everywhere. The angel of his presence
35:06saved them.
35:08Man, I got this. This Bible's so good. I
35:10lost my place. My goodness. Verse nine,
35:12here we are. In all their distress, he
35:15was distressed. The angel of his
35:17presence saved them. In his love and in
35:20his mercy, he redeemed them. Notice how
35:23it's referring to them in the singular
35:25now. And he lifted them and carried them
35:28all the ancient days. But they rebelled
35:32and grieved his holy spirit. How many is
35:36that?
35:37>> That's the that Holy Spirit be popping
35:39up too, don't he?
35:41They grieved his holy spirit. Can you
35:43grieve electricity, y'all?
35:46No. Can you grieve the Star Wars force?
35:48Can the Star Wars force feel grief? Can
35:51this Can a power feel grieved? This
35:54shows personhood. Correct. This shows
35:57character. The Holy Spirit is not just a
35:59force or a power, some type of energy.
36:02The Holy Spirit feels
36:05right.
36:07He grieve. They grieved his Holy Spirit.
36:09Therefore, he turned himself to become
36:11their enemy. He fought against them.
36:13Verse 11. Then his people remembered the
36:16ancient days of Moses. Where he Where is
36:19he who brought them up out of the sea
36:23with the shepherds of his flock? Where
36:26is he who put the Holy Spirit in the
36:29midst of them? Who caused his glorious
36:32arm to go at the right hand of Moses?
36:35Who split the waters before them to make
36:38for himself an everlasting name? Who led
36:42them through the depths. Now this is
36:43interesting guys.
36:45This arm of the Lord. This is the second
36:47time he mentioned this in this passage.
36:49This arm of the Lord. This arm of the
36:50Lord. You guys familiar with this
36:51phrase. This arm of the Lord. It says
36:54that the arm of the Lord is the one who
36:56split the sea. The arm of the Lord is
36:59the one who split the sea and carried
37:02Israel through the depths.
37:04Now at first place this arm of the Lord
37:07sounds like just the power of God by by
37:09which he acts or something. But really,
37:12the arm of the Lord is a person.
37:16It's another title for someone familiar.
37:18Go to Isaiah 53, guys.
37:22Isaiah 53. Remember this arm of the Lord
37:25is the one who saved them from Egypt.
37:30Isaiah 53.
37:34Is this good Bible?
37:36>> This this good Bible, ain't it? And the
37:39truth. I'm telling you, it's the truth.
37:42That Bible, the truth. Can't do nothing
37:44with the truth. And if you're not going
37:47with the truth, then you're lying.
37:51Isaiah 53,
37:53watch what it says in verse one.
37:56Who has believed our report?
38:00And to whom has the arm of the Lord been
38:03revealed? There, there it is again, the
38:06arm of the Lord. Then it describes the
38:08arm of the Lord. For he
38:12grew up before him like a tender chute.
38:15And like a root out of dry ground, he
38:18has no majesty. The arm of the Lord, it
38:20wasn't nothing special. Didn't look
38:21special to us. The arm of the Lord had
38:25no majesty that we should look at him.
38:28No desire, no appearance that we should
38:30desire him. He, the arm of the Lord, was
38:33despised and forsaken by men. A man of
38:37sorrows. A man
38:39who who who
38:42they talking about?
38:44>> Say it with the test.
38:46>> Jesus Christ.
38:49The arm of the Lord, the angel of the
38:51Lord is none other than our Lord and
38:53Savior Jesus the Christ.
38:56Notice this. The arm of the Lord that
38:59shows up throughout the Old Testament.
39:01The one who saved Israel out of the out
39:03of Egypt, carried them through the
39:06waters, split the sea, is none other
39:09than the pre-incarnate Christ, who was
39:12still doing his thing way back then.
39:15Still active, still graceful, still full
39:18of truth, still full of faith, saving
39:21his people, a stubborn people like you
39:23and me.
39:25Active.
39:27Now, this I love to parallel.
39:30Jude, the book of Jude
39:331. There's only one chapter honestly,
39:35but Jude 1, verse number five.
39:43Really, you want to use verse four and
39:44five. Get four and five. We'll do four
39:46and five because I'm going to show you
39:48guys how to answer an objection. Okay.
39:52Jude 4 and five. It says, you guys all
39:55there? We all there together? Okay,
39:57good. It says, 'For certain people,
39:59verse four, have crept in unnoticed,
40:02those who were long beforehand marked
40:05out for this condemnation, ungodly
40:08persons
40:09who turn the grace of our God into
40:11sensuality and deny our only master and
40:15lord, Jesus Christ. Who's our only
40:18master and lord, ladies and gentlemen?
40:20>> Jesus Christ. That's right. Now, watch
40:24what it says here in verse five.
40:26Now I want to remind you, I want to
40:29bring back to your remembrance
40:31though you know all things that Jesus
40:36having once saved a people out of the
40:39land of Egypt subsequently destroyed
40:42those who did not believe. Whoa.
40:47Jude just said it was Jesus who saved
40:51the people out of the land of Egypt.
40:55When we go back and look at it, it says
40:58it's the angel of the Lord who split the
41:00sea and saved the people out of the land
41:01of Egypt.
41:03>> When we go back further, it says that
41:04it's Yahweh who saved the people out of
41:06the land of Egypt. Who does that make
41:08Jesus, ladies and gentlemen?
41:10>> Yahweh, God most high.
41:13Jesus is the one who saved the people
41:14out of the land of Egypt. Now, here's a
41:16caveat.
41:18A sharp Jehovah's Witness or Muslim or
41:21any Unitarian will say, "Well, there's a
41:23textual variant here."
41:25In another manuscript, it doesn't say
41:27Jesus. It says Lord. See? Ha. Gotcha.
41:32It says Lord, not Jesus.
41:36According to verse four, who's the Lord,
41:37y'all?
41:39Our only master and Lord, it says,
41:41right? So it doesn't matter which
41:43manuscript you use, but and by the way,
41:45the earliest manuscripts say Jesus by
41:47name, but it's okay. We don't we don't
41:49it don't matter to us. Jesus, Lord, same
41:51thing. You know, my tomato tomato, you
41:53know, same thing. Verse four in context
41:57tells us who the Lord is. Christ, our
42:00only master and lord Jesus Christ. So
42:02even if it said, and to remind you that
42:05it was the Lord who saved the people out
42:07of the land of Egypt, it just is talking
42:09about Jesus in context.
42:12Either way you go, Jesus is Yahweh, God,
42:15who saved the people out of the land of
42:17Egypt. The Bible is unambiguous.
42:23The Bible is unequivocal
42:27that the father may his peace be upon
42:29us, the son, may his peace be upon us,
42:33and the holy spirit, may his peace be
42:37upon us,
42:38>> are all the same God.
42:50>> We didn't have to philosophize it.
42:53We didn't [laughter]
42:54we didn't have to, you know, manipulate
42:57it. We didn't have to come up with some
42:58story. We saw both in the Old Testament
43:03and the New Testament, the Trinity is
43:07biblical.
43:09Your belief is biblical. Your belief is
43:13it stands on scripture.
43:17Learn this. Let it become second nature
43:21to you. Bleed this. Bleed these
43:24scriptures, these texts. Learn how to
43:26communicate it. Learn how to present it.
43:28And I promise you, your ministry, your
43:31gospel ministry, and presenting the
43:33gospel, sharing the gospel, defending
43:35the gospel will go up a hundred times.
43:39Amen.
43:40>> Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I
43:42appreciate you.
43:51Is there time for questions or
43:52>> Q&A?
43:53>> Yeah, sure.
43:54>> Anyone questions? All right.
43:58>> Yeah.
43:59>> What's D and Jill? [laughter]
44:02>> That's really our only questions till
44:04this day.
44:05>> Ivory, you knocked another one out of
44:07the park. So, thank you for coming and
44:09doing a good job. Um, I just want to get
44:11your take on Isaiah 41:4. Okay, let's go
44:15ahead and get the Bible up.
44:18Isaiah 41:4.
44:25All right. It says,
44:28"Who has worked and done it, calling
44:31both uh calling forth the generations
44:34from the beginning, I Yahweh am the
44:36first, and with the last, I am he."
44:37Yeah.
44:41>> My attention. I'm trying to draw your
44:43attention to what it says there in the
44:46second part of that.
44:48>> The first and the last.
44:49>> I am with the last is what it says. It
44:52doesn't say I'm the first and the last.
44:53It says that elsewhere in in um Isaiah
44:56obviously,
44:57>> but specifically it says I am with the
45:00last, implying that there is even within
45:03first and the last, there is some kind
45:05of plurality.
45:07>> Um that's a I never thought of it that
45:09way. I'm not going to lie to you. You
45:10might need to come up here, man.
45:13Now, for I I haven't uh I've never
45:15looked at that in that way. It's really
45:17interesting. I think you're on to
45:18something. I I'll look deeper into that
45:19to see if there's some substance with
45:22that. If uh him not just being the last,
45:25but being with the last would indicate
45:28another person that he's also there
45:30that's also never ending. It's a good
45:32point, man. It's a really good point.
45:36>> I agree.
45:37>> Uh it's out of the question actually. Uh
45:39it's uh I was traveling the third part
45:41of the night. I found a shin [laughter]
45:45and two
45:47right gloves.
45:48>> No, you didn't.
45:49>> I I don't know who was
45:50>> But you did you didn't find the NGO
45:52though. [laughter]
45:54>> Oh, man. You was able to find a shin the
45:56two right but not not the NGO
45:58>> and the two right hands.
45:59>> That's tough. That's tough. [laughter]
46:01Praise God, man. God bless you.
46:03>> Please let me out.
46:04>> Look, if there's anybody that can find
46:05that in jail, I think it's going to be
46:07you.
46:08Sorry, could you make clear to me the
46:10the arm of the Lord being Jesus, please?
46:13I got sort of
46:14>> mixed up, but not mixed up. We're very
46:17clear that when he says the arm of the
46:19Lord is referring to the Lord Jesus
46:20Christ, please.
46:22>> Uh, is he are you asking to clarify the
46:24arm of the Lord being Jesus?
46:26>> Yes. Okay. Yeah, sure. So, so a few
46:29things.
46:31Okay. So in Isaiah 63, it identified the
46:37arm of the Lord as the one saving Israel
46:39from the land of Egypt, right? And just
46:43right uh before that, it mentioned that
46:45the angel of his presence is the one who
46:47saved them from the land of Egypt. So
46:49these will be two different titles of
46:51the same person. The angel of the Lord,
46:53arm of the Lord, it's the same person.
46:55Right? Now, how do we connect that this
46:57is Jesus? Well, in Isaiah 53,
47:02it's very Isaiah 53 is clearly about
47:04Jesus, right? The suffering Messiah
47:05takes on our sins. But in Isaiah 53, it
47:10calls him the arm of the Lord. So it
47:12says, "Who has believed what he has
47:14heard from us? To whom has the arm of
47:17the Lord been revealed? For he grew up
47:20before him like a tender chute out of
47:22dry ground." So starts talking about the
47:23arm of the Lord as a person who is now
47:26this person who has come to his people
47:28and is suffering and giving his life for
47:32uh for for everyone else. You see the
47:34you see the connection. Awesome.
47:38Uh well he he's controlling all of it. I
47:40see you.
47:41>> Yeah. Yeah. So my question is I never
47:44heard this argument from Muslims but
47:46from the Unitarians.
47:47>> Yeah. How would you deal with the
47:48singular pronouns that they say that
47:51it's over 2,000 times in the Old
47:54Testament? How would you turn the
47:55objections against them?
47:56>> Yeah, that's exactly what we we should
47:58expect. If God is singular and plural,
48:00we should also see singular pronouns.
48:03Like, for example, now here's what's
48:05interesting because a if a unitarian
48:07brings such a weak argument like that
48:08of, which they do, all you got to do is
48:10just show them where God speaks with
48:12plural pronouns and then they're done.
48:14That's one. Now, if you want to have fun
48:16with it,
48:20you use those singular pronouns against
48:22them. For example, in Isaiah 44:4, it
48:26says this. Yahweh says, "I alone
48:31created the heavens and the earth. I
48:34stretched out the heavens by myself."
48:38See, singular pronouns, exclusive
48:41language. Nobody else was with them.
48:43Right? So with a unitarian they believe
48:46in both old and new. So for the
48:48unitarian they believe that Jesus was
48:51the one who the father used to create
48:53all things. So we have ourselves a
48:56contradiction here ladies and gentlemen.
48:58Yahweh says that he created all things
49:00singular pronouns by himself all alone
49:03nobody with him. But yet it says that
49:05it's through Jesus that all things were
49:07created. So was Yahweh by himself or did
49:11he have help? since you want to hang on
49:13singular pronouns. Let's have fun with
49:15it. Right? So, that's how you can turn
49:18their argument against them because then
49:20they're going to have to they're going
49:21to have to deal with that and none of
49:23them can. None of them can. I promise
49:26you,
49:29>> God lo [laughter]
49:31you're amazing. So, I know we don't do
49:33the Trinity in the New Testament, but
49:35I've heard from Muslims, even though we
49:37give them these verses and explanations
49:38that the Trinity is in the Old
49:40Testament, they would say, "Okay, if
49:43it's in the Old Testament, we expect
49:45Jesus in the New Testament at least to
49:47teach or to mention the Trinity and that
49:50they're co-equal in uh in in their
49:53sense." So, how can we answer this this
49:56question? Um, there's a
50:00there's a couple ways you could do that.
50:02Number one, you use the pattern that we
50:06just used in the Old Testament. You see
50:07how in the Old Testament, you don't have
50:09a
50:11God is triune one and three person. You
50:14don't have a text like that. You'll
50:15never do that. Never find that. That's
50:16not how we come up with our doctrine.
50:18Our doctrine is built on the multitude
50:21of scriptures on the topic and then we
50:24get our conclusion, right? on the
50:26context of scripture. So what you can
50:28explain is how Jesus throughout the New
50:31Testament demonstrates his divinity, the
50:35father's divinity, and the Holy Spirit's
50:37divinity, right? And so by default, they
50:40are all God, right? You have the Holy
50:43Spirit. He man, he goes ham on the Holy
50:46Spirit. Ham because Muslims see um he he
50:50really goes crazy with the Holy Spirit.
50:52um in John chapters 14:15 and 16 right
50:55where he talks about the spirit who
50:57proceeds from the father's essence
50:59meaning he shares the same essence as
51:01the father he's the same whatness of the
51:03father right um that's one way you could
51:05do it here's another way you could do it
51:07real fun way to do it you can ask a
51:09Muslim
51:11um can you go can you ever say that I'm
51:15going to go perform salat which is
51:17prayer in the name of Allah Jabril and
51:20Muhammad
51:21Their answer would be obviously no. You
51:24want to ask them why not. They said
51:28because that would be shock associating
51:31partners with Allah. We can only do
51:33things in the name of Allah. Excellent.
51:35You say I agree with you 100%. And make
51:38sure you do the hand signals too.
51:40[laughter]
51:41Really, you know, got to, you know,
51:42become all things to all people, right?
51:45So you that that's what you asked them,
51:48right? So you agree with them? Yes, I
51:49agree. That would be associating
51:52partners with Allah. So then when Jesus
51:55says go and baptize in the name of the
52:00father, the son and the holy spirit,
52:04you then ask them would this is this a
52:07statement of sherp? They have to say yes
52:10because Jesus just associated himself
52:13and the spirit with the father making
52:16them equal in their essence.
52:21Hi, Logic.
52:22>> What up, Tiger?
52:23>> What up? [laughter] Um, so I've got a
52:25question. So, we usually deal with the
52:28Unitarians, but I want to bring in the
52:30oneness who agree with us that Jesus is
52:32God.
52:32>> Yeah.
52:33>> So, two scriptures, Isaiah 9:6 and John
52:3614, cuz that's the one that they usually
52:38bring where they're like, um, so
52:40obviously the son is called everlasting
52:42father. So, they'll say that's identity.
52:45And then John 14 where they say, "See,
52:47look, Jesus said, when you see me, you
52:49see the father, so I'm now the father."
52:51How do you deal with that?
52:52>> Yeah.
52:52>> Yeah.
52:53>> How would you deal with that?
52:55>> Pray with me on the spot. [laughter]
52:59>> How would [snorts] you answer that,
53:00Tiger?
53:01>> Okay.
53:01>> Isaiah 9:6. First,
53:02>> Isaiah 9:6. Obviously, the question I
53:05would usually ask is, "Is the father a
53:07prince?" They would have to say no. So,
53:09everlasting father,
53:10>> what if they said yes?
53:13They would have to show where
53:15>> right there in Isaiah 96, the father is
53:16a prince. Clearly.
53:19>> Okay. So, I would um I would show them
53:23that everlasting father. Here the title
53:27is aviard. Aviard instead of aviol. So,
53:32it would quite literally go with the
53:34book in acts where it calls him, it's
53:36calling him the owner of everlasting.
53:39Yes. The same way Abraham is also called
53:42the father of the nations. That wouldn't
53:44be an identity statement. That would be
53:46a title. And it says a child is born, a
53:50son is given. It doesn't say a father is
53:53given. So the son came before the name.
53:55>> But the son is the father.
53:58>> So then why does it say the son was
54:00given and he will be called everlasting
54:02father? Not that he's identified.
54:04>> Because the son is being identified as
54:06the father there clearly.
54:08>> [laughter]
54:10>> cooked.
54:12>> That's crazy because your answer was
54:14really good.
54:15>> Um, number one, you're right.
54:17>> It's a quality it's describing. It's not
54:19describing identity, right? The
54:21qualities of the son. Father of
54:22eternity, prince of peace, wonderful
54:24counselor, mighty God. These are
54:26qualities of who this son that's given
54:29is. Now, you mentioned it mentions that
54:32the son is given. My question would be
54:35who gave him?
54:37Who gave the son
54:40if for something to be given that
54:41requires two parties, right? And that's
54:44what I would actually ask first. For
54:46something to be given that requires at
54:48least two parties. Is that correct? They
54:50would have to say yes. Or unless you
54:51just kick them off the stage because
54:52they're, you know, thanks for coming,
54:54man. Watch your head. Right. But it
54:57takes it takes at least two for one to
54:59be given and someone to receive. So who
55:02in the world is giving the son? It says
55:05the the son was given. who gave him?
55:07That's number one. Number two, the
55:08quality is obviously yes, it's he's he's
55:12the owner of everlasting, the source of
55:15eternal life. That's what it means to be
55:16the f like Abraham is the source of all
55:18these nations, right? So is the son the
55:22source of eternal life, not that he is
55:23the heavenly father of the person. So
55:26you break that down. You did that
55:27beautifully. That was good. You see, you
55:28got it. You didn't you didn't need me.
55:32>> Clap it up for a tiger, y'all. You know
55:38>> in Mark 13:32, something that keeps on
55:40getting thrown at us is about Jesus not
55:43knowing the hour.
55:44>> Yeah.
55:44>> How would you answer that?
55:45>> Uh, so if you go to God logic
55:47apologetics like [laughter]
55:50there's like a thousand videos.
55:53Ah, all right. I'll break this down
55:54again. Um, so Jesus not knowing the
55:58hour. Obviously, we know that Christ is
55:59all knowing. How do we know this? The
56:01Bible says it. John 16
56:04um verse 30 verse 29 and 30. Uh the
56:08disciple says now we know that you have
56:11come from God because you speak clearly.
56:14Now we know that you know all things.
56:17Jesus doesn't say hold on stop it. Hold
56:19a second. I don't know all things. Only
56:22God knows all things. He says do you now
56:24believe? So Jesus affirms his
56:27omniscience that he's all knowing. We
56:29have another passage John 20 where or is
56:32it 21? John 21 where uh Peter says Lord
56:37why do you keep asking me if I love you?
56:39You know that I love you. You know all
56:41things. Now this one is special because
56:44this context of Jesus knowing is knowing
56:47the heart of Peter. The Bible says that
56:49it's Yahweh alone who knows and searches
56:51the hearts of man. So Peter is appealing
56:54to Jesus knowing his heart. Why are you
56:56asking me this? You know, right? So
56:59another passage that Jesus knows all
57:01things. So the Bible is clear. Here's
57:04another thing. Mark literally starts off
57:07with Jesus being the most high God in
57:10chapter one. Mark chapter 1, it
57:13identifies Jesus as Yahweh who comes
57:15after his messenger is sent in the
57:17wilderness. Okay? Prepared way before
57:20me. Yahweh speaking. So Mark says that
57:24Jesus is Yahweh who comes after John the
57:26Baptist. So we already know that Jesus
57:29is God. He's all knowing. He's all
57:31powerful. He's the creator. So in no
57:33way, shape or form is then Mark going to
57:35then later demonstrate that Jesus is not
57:38God contextually. That makes absolutely
57:40no sense. So then how do we see this?
57:42Now in Mark 13:32, he uses the word
57:46oiden
57:47for no. He says, "No man, no one knows
57:51the hour, no man knows, nor the angels,
57:53nor the son, but the father only." The
57:56word oiden there for know. Contextually
58:00the word oiden can also be used to tell
58:02something to make something known to
58:04others. You see this example in 1
58:06Corinthians chapter 2 verse two. Paul
58:08says to the Corinthians when I came to
58:11you I decided to know nothing or he
58:15didn't except Jesus Christ and him
58:18crucified. Now, when Paul says, "I
58:20decided to know nothing," does this mean
58:23that Paul literally didn't know anything
58:25else? That he had no other knowledge?
58:28No. It just means when he came to the
58:30Corinthians, the only thing he focused
58:33on making known to them, declaring to
58:35them is the crucifixion. This is the
58:37gospel, right? So, we see that it could
58:40be used to declare something. Now,
58:43here's another way. Um the in Luke
58:46chapter 20, I I actually love this
58:48example. In Luke chapter 20, you have
58:51the uh the Sadducees and the Pharisees.
58:53They come to Jesus and they ask him, "By
58:55what authority do you do these things,
58:58right?" And Jesus said, "I'll tell you
59:02if you tell me something.
59:05I'll answer you if you answer me." He
59:07says, "Was John's baptism
59:11from heaven or from men?
59:14They reasoned upon themselves. If we say
59:16from heaven, then he'll say, "Then why
59:18didn't you believe him? If we say from
59:20men, then we'll get stoned because the
59:21people knew he was a prophet." So they
59:23then turn to him and say, "We don't
59:25know."
59:27And Jesus says, "Then neither will I
59:30tell you by what authority I do these
59:32things." Notice Jesus doesn't say,
59:34"Neither neither then I don't know
59:37either." But he says, "Neither will I
59:39tell you by which authority I do these
59:41things." The context is telling is
59:44declaring.
59:45So the the Sadducees the authorities are
59:47saying we don't want to say we don't
59:49want to tell you we can't say. So then
59:52Jesus said neither can I say neither
59:54will I tell you. It's mutual. You see so
59:57it's in telling. So it's not for anyone
59:59to tell the hour to declare the hour.
1:00:02This is for the father to do only.
1:00:04That's his job. Right? Now you see Jesus
1:00:07compares his coming to a Jewish wedding
1:00:09multiple times. Jesus is the bridegroom.
1:00:11right? Who comes? He says the bridegroom
1:00:13is here. Soon he will leave, but he's
1:00:16going to come back. The father throws uh
1:00:18the wedding for the son. The king throws
1:00:20the wedding for his son. So in Jewish
1:00:22wedding, it's the father that announces
1:00:25the wedding day, not the not the
1:00:26bridegroom. That's the father's
1:00:28authority to do so. Not that the son
1:00:30doesn't know his own wedding day. He has
1:00:32to send invites, prepare the food,
1:00:34prepare the feast, you know, get it all
1:00:36ready. They know his own. He knows his
1:00:37own wedding day. But out of respect for
1:00:39the father, humble for the father as his
1:00:42authority to announce it. Okay. So you
1:00:46see this another example. Just one last
1:00:47one. Acts chapter 1 guys verse 6. They
1:00:51asked Jesus again when he resurrected
1:00:52and he's about to ascend a is now the
1:00:54time. Is now the time where you're going
1:00:56to restore Israel and do all this type
1:00:58of stuff. Is they're asking about the
1:00:59hour again? He says it's not for you to
1:01:03know. This time he uses a different
1:01:05Greek word. It's not oiden anymore. I
1:01:07forgot what it was though. Sorry, but
1:01:09it's a different Greek word here. He
1:01:10says, "It's not for you to know the
1:01:13times or the seasons that the father has
1:01:15fixed by his own authority."
1:01:18Okay? Not for you to know. So, that's
1:01:21how we answer that. So, Jesus isn't
1:01:23ignorant of his own hour. It's not for
1:01:25him to declare.
1:01:26>> Okay. Last question.
1:01:28>> Hi, Logic.
1:01:29>> What's up?
1:01:30>> My name is Faithful. Uh, nice to meet
1:01:32you.
1:01:32>> Nice to meet you. Um so this is how I
1:01:35understood the trinity back in Ghana
1:01:37when I was a kid when I was a child. Um
1:01:39I mean if you read the book of Genesis
1:01:41it says that God made us in his image
1:01:43and I know that according to the Bible
1:01:45we are we are a spirit being we have a
1:01:47soul and we function with a body on
1:01:49earth. So can we say that with that
1:01:51knowledge God has to have a since we we
1:01:54were made in God God's image God has to
1:01:56have a certain kind of uh being similar
1:01:58to ours which I mean I mean we we are
1:02:02like a spirit being right and we have a
1:02:04soul functioning on the earth with the
1:02:05body so some way somehow God has to have
1:02:07that kind of uh same image that he made
1:02:09us in I don't know if uh that that
1:02:13>> are you here
1:02:15>> IP raise your hand
1:02:16>> yeah so this is before like any of these
1:02:18these verses, you know, and all these
1:02:20things that you've taught us uh came in
1:02:22actually. So, I don't know. Yeah,
1:02:25>> I I heard I got you, brother. Is it
1:02:26inspiring philosophy here?
1:02:29>> Did you hear? Did you hear him?
1:02:31>> Did you hear his Did you hear him? He
1:02:33said to explain the trinity, you know?
1:02:36Uh can we use like we're mind, body, and
1:02:38spirit, you know? Uh what what is that?
1:02:40What is that called?
1:02:44That's partialism of Patrick.
1:02:48>> The reason why we can't use that example
1:02:52is because that's partialism Patrick and
1:02:55modalism as well because now you're
1:02:57saying that so the mind, body, and
1:02:59spirit, these are parts of the human
1:03:01nature. They're not fully human. The the
1:03:04you know, they together make up the
1:03:06whole. So if you're going to compare
1:03:08that to God, the father, son, and
1:03:09spirit, you're going to say that the
1:03:10father is only part of God. The son is
1:03:12part of God. The spirit is part of God.
1:03:14They themselves aren't fully God or
1:03:17truly God. Right? So that's why that
1:03:18doesn't work. These analogies guys don't
1:03:21do that. Just don't do it. Okay? Um so
1:03:25the father, son, and spirit, they are
1:03:27fully truly God. All right? There's no
1:03:30partialism in the divine essence. You
1:03:32can't split them up or put a piece of
1:03:34godhood here and piece of godhood there.
1:03:36They're not a third of God. Each person
1:03:39fully possesses the divine essence.
1:03:41Okay. Unlike mind, body, and soul.
1:03:45All right. Looks like that's it, y'all.
