- If you're receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
TruthRadioShow.com And welcome everybody to TruthRadioShow.com's comprehensive study of the Bible, in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible, in today's chapter 5 of the book of 2 Corinthians.
So if you missed chapters 1-4, please go watch them first before even coming here.
So, yeah, thank you for joining us here, guys.
And before we get going, we do a Bible study approach, if you don't know already.
We do this every video.
Number one is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So join me in the prayer.
So Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah, we come before you, our Savior, our Prince, our King, our Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
And we ask you to forgive us individually of sins and trespasses, transgressions or abominations that we may have committed.
And please forgive us, Lord, for our sinful nature and Deceitful hearts.
We pray that you could anoint us with your precious blood and just bless us, Lord, and help us to avoid temptation of sin.
And we love you so much.
And Heavenly Father, we come before you to ask you to once again give us the divine Holy Spirit, the Great Comforter, to help write your word upon our hearts today as we learn in 2 Corinthians chapter 3 about the Holy Spirit writing the word upon our hearts.
And so we ask you to help us with chapter 5 today in the book of 2nd Corinthians.
And to write the word upon our hearts and let it dwell within us, Lord.
And please protect us all from the forces of evil and anybody that's out there that's going through any kind of sickness, diseases, or anything like that, going through any emotional, spiritual, physical, or mental problems, Lord, we ask you that you can help us, Lord.
In your mighty name we pray, amen.
So that being said, guys, we read the scripture in context.
This is very important because context is key.
A lot of ministries don't do this, unfortunately, but we need to do this.
And let the scripture interpret the scripture.
It's not my interpretation.
It's not your interpretation.
It's what, you know, the Bible says don't lead on your own understanding.
So let the Holy Spirit speak to us.
And what I do too, guys, is like, I go through the Bible here, and we don't just read through it.
We study the thing in context, in depth, to understand what every word means and everything else, to get the full context of it.
But I always encourage people, too, to go read it for yourselves, because there's things you might get out of it that I missed, or whatever the case, that the Holy Spirit didn't want to reveal to me at the time.
So, yeah, so let's begin guys.
If you've got a Bible, open it up.
If not, we've got it up on screen here.
So 2 Corinthians chapter 5.
So, again, Paul's letter to the church of Corinth.
Corinth.
So verse 1 begins, For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens.
So what is the saying?
Our earthly house, of course, of this tabernacle.
So basically, the earth in general, where you live, where you worship and all that.
Yeah, and if it was dissolved one day, in other words, if it all went away, we still got the building of God that's not made with human hands.
It's eternal in the heavens.
Thanks.
So, and this applies today too.
So you've seen in the news that a lot of churches are being burned down.
Christians are being persecuted everywhere.
But understand this.
They can come shut your house down if you have a violent study.
And it's going to become a law eventually that they're going to come after us.
It's prophesied.
So if you're living in other countries and you're speaking the Bible or studying it, it's forbidden in some countries.
But know this, it doesn't matter, right?
So your house or wherever you do your studies or your church, whatever, they can come destroy it, but they can never destroy the building of God.
And this is not a building, we're not talking about a physical church on the earth.
This is a house made not with hands, But it's eternal in the heavens.
This is the heavenly church that they can never destroy.
And as we show all the time, that a church, yeah, if you have a designated place, like a building, a church is where two or more are gathered in his name to study.
And that's just gathering, you know what I mean?
And I want to point that out, too, because somebody mentioned something like that.
Well, it's not just gathering.
I mean, two, three people just talking about God is not a church.
Yeah, we're not saying that.
And I really need to specify this.
A church, okay, has two or three, two or more, I'm sorry, two or more people gathered in his name to study the Word of God.
That's a church.
That could be your backyard, that could be your garage, your finished basement, or a hall you rent, or even a building that you designate as a church.
And it's not the building.
You gotta understand that.
You could do this in a van.
You got a van full of people.
Or a bus full of people.
A church is not a physical building.
It's a, you know, a venue for one.
That's what people misunderstand.
It's a venue for one.
But a church is, we, the body of people.
We could all sit on the beach on a nice summer day.
All of us, right?
We could just say, 50, 60 people.
We'll go up on the beach, right?
And just study the Word of God.
That's a church.
Heck, we could even be on a hot day, right?
We could all be sitting in the water together.
Just, you know, breezing in the water there.
And all of us studying the Word of God.
That would be a church.
So if you guys want to hang out in your pool, literally, you've got the family in the pool and some friends just hanging out on the floaties and all that stuff.
But paying attention and studying the Word of God, that's a church.
A church is the people, not the building.
A building or a place is only a venue.
That's all it is.
So, but the eternal church is in heaven.
So again, for we not know that earthly houses of the tabernacle were dissolved.
So, anything can happen to the venues, it's the same, right?
But we have, and all of us in general, But we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with a house which is from heaven." So, clothed upon with a house in heaven.
So we desire this, you know, like this earthly church, I mean, sorry, this heavenly church.
If so, be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
So, Paul is talking in the spiritual sense here.
So, we want to be clothed with the garments.
Remember the garments of God?
The white, pure garments that Jesus is going to put on us?
That's what we're trying to do.
You know, spiritually clean and clothed with the pure garments.
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by life.
Up of life, I'm sorry.
So now, he that has wrought us for the selfsame thing as God, Sorry guys, I'm a little tongue-tied today.
of the spirit.
So again, the spirit, anytime you hear the spirit in this context, talk about the Holy Spirit.
And as we showed you here in chapter three of second Corinthians, the Holy Spirit that helps write the word of God on our hearts.
Sorry guys, I'm a little tongue tired today.
It's been a long day.
So once again, take three.
I'll talk about To write the word of God upon our hearts.
And he's our comforter and everything else.
So therefore, we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
So what does that mean?
Okay.
Because he says, for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Faith, okay?
And this is the thing about the disbelief here, right?
Jesus pointed this out, and it's amazing.
Remember, we read the book of Matthew, right?
What did he tell us?
I think it was Matthew or whatever.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and I think it was actually a couple of them.
So what did Jesus tell his apostles?
Every time they stopped believing, they believed in Jesus, yeah, but they doubted him because it's just man's nature to doubt, right?
He told them, he said, listen, you guys are here with me.
You are seeing these things, but yet you still refuse to believe.
And he stated that in the future, and I wish I remembered the rest, guys, I apologize.
He said, the people who later are not going to see me or any of this stuff, they're going to believe more than you.
Because they're going to believe by faith.
The apostles seen by sight.
The prophets seen by sight.
We didn't.
We, today, we walk by faith.
We believe by faith.
And yes, it's an invisible thing, an invisible Lord, because we, you know, the Lord doesn't show himself to us.
And for a good reason, because we dropped dead in fright.
We already studied the spiritual warfare aspect of that.
Why doesn't God just show himself to the world?
Well, if he showed himself, look what happened to Moses.
We explain that too here in 2 Corinthians.
Chapter 3, actually, yeah.
So, yeah, if we see the sight of God, the radiance would kill us.
But the thing is, too, yeah, even though we believe in an invisible God, it's visible to us in the physical realm.
But even though we believe in an invisible God to us right now, We feel and sense the spiritual of it, the spirituality.
That's where atheists and people can't understand.
You know what I mean?
So, we don't walk by sight.
You know, we don't walk by miracles and God's got to prove things to us all the time.
No.
Like he did all through the Old Testament, he did that.
Even in the New Testament, he constantly proved himself over and over again.
Pillar of fire at night, giving them water in the desert, this idea.
People still doubted him.
But today we walk by faith.
We're not getting any of that stuff.
And yeah, granted God does help us.
He doesn't have to.
But He does help us.
He answers our prayers.
It might not be when we want it, but He does, according to His will.
Asking you shall receive, He says, right?
And you will receive.
But, you know, some people take it too far.
Oh, I want a million dollars.
You know, it's not going to work that way.
God's not a genie.
He could just grant you anything you want.
You know, it's going to be according to his will.
Ask and you shall receive.
Yeah, ask in his will and you shall receive.
Because people say, well, all right, in that case, I'm just going to ask for a Ferrari or whatever.
No, it doesn't work that way.
And the scripture also says that the Lord knows what we need before We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
ahead of time.
You know what I mean?
He knows we're going to need food, clothing, water and everything else.
And he provides it if we live by faith, walk by faith.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
So confident.
And that's what the apostles were.
Yeah, at times they doubted, you know, they just, again, they doubted the Lord or whatever the case.
And a few times as we just explained, right?
Thank you.
But confident, it's just like, yeah, I know Jesus is with me.
Paul was very confident.
That's why Jesus chose him to be the leader when he went away.
As you can see, you know, half the New Testament is written by Paul.
And the thing is with Paul, people bash Paul, a lot of false religions do, the Essenes do, a lot of these religions out there, Gnostics and all that, because Paul is very powerful.
That's why all the, you know, certain Jewish sects hate Paul.
Because Paul is very, very powerful.
Not, you know, like Jesus, I'm saying, but very dominant, you know, bringing the Word of God to people.
And he was confident.
You say, yeah, I would rather be absent from the body and be present with the what?
What does that mean?
I'd rather be dead off this earth here and be in the eternal life of Jesus.
Wherefore we labor that, whether present or absent, we must accept of Him.
We may be accepted of Him, sorry.
So we work towards this, right?
This goal and everything?
Whether we're here or not, okay, we may be accepted by Him, of Him.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
So yes, and now this, you know, the dispensationalist movement, By the Jesuits, you know, they're the ones who pushed John Nelson Dobby and Cyrus Schofield to go around to say, oh, once saved, always saved.
And yeah, you know, all this pre-tribulation garbage and everything else, right?
To make you feel you're automatically going to heaven no matter what, right?
Yeah, that's not what the Bible says.
But we all will face, we're going to have to answer to us for what stuff we did.
But salvation is offered to us.
Yes, where I was getting at is yes, we are saved by grace, but, but, okay, you can't just say I'm saved by grace and continue to do evil.
And I'm not saying we're going to, you know, we're going to lead a sinless life.
We all sin daily.
It's with the repentative heart that God looks at.
When you sin, what do you feel after?
You're like, oh man, I can't believe I just did that.
Sorry, Lord.
That's a repentative heart.
People are like, oh, that's alright.
I don't care.
I'm going to heaven.
I'm saved by grace.
Grace is not a free pass to sin.
As the dispensational church would say, oh yeah, don't worry about it.
The Ten Commandments were abolished, really, because sin is transgression of the law.
Jesus told us to keep the commandments of God, Revelation 14, 12, and many other times.
But these churches out there, oh, no, the Ten Commandments don't matter.
Oh, really?
Didn't Jesus say the lawless will not enter the kingdom of God?
So if you're disobeying the law, you're lawless.
If you're sinning, you're transgression, which means breaking the law.
And he says you will not have no place in the kingdom of God.
Grace is not going to save you.
Unless you make your works applicable.
That's why Jesus talked about the parables with the trees producing fruit.
If your tree is not producing fruit, in other words, if you're not doing anything for the Lord, yeah, you're going to be thrown into the fire.
That's exactly what the Bible says.
For people out there, oh, once I get saved, I don't have to worry about nothing.
I can do whatever I want.
I'm going to heaven.
That's not what the Bible says.
And if you think that, you better go read the Bible.
Get out of your dumb church.
Alright?
Stop listening to these lunatic preachers.
And read what the Bible has to say.
And if you... We weren't... I mean, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians now.
We're gonna go all the way through the Revelation.
So far, we covered all this stuff.
There's so much more to go.
I'm excited.
So, we're gonna have to answer to our stuff.
Go to bed.
And yes, grace is what will save us.
Yeah, because even though we're saved by grace, we're going to be shown all the bad things we've done.
Then that's going to make you feel more like, oh man, you're going to be embarrassed, okay?
And that's where God's going to really show His grace.
When Jesus, you know, tells the Father, I paid for these, you know, sins.
And it's going to make you feel that.
Imagine that, because you're going to, all that stuff, bad stuff's going to be brought up, right?
The devil's going to, just imagine you're sitting in the courtroom.
The devil's a prosecutor.
He's pressing charges on you, right?
Jesus is your lawyer, and the Father is the judge.
Well, even the scripture says, I'm sorry, that Jesus is the judge.
God made Jesus the judge.
So, Jesus is both... He could be your lawyer.
Here's the thing, too.
Depends who you are and what you believe, right?
Jesus could be your lawyer, or He could be your prosecutor.
A second prosecutor.
And He's also the judge, too.
He's the judge, jury, and executioner.
So you got Satan, no matter who you are, even if you follow Satan, right?
When you're up for judgment, Satan's gonna be advocating against you.
He's gonna be that nasty prosecutor.
Now, if you're a believer, you have Jesus as a lawyer.
And he's also the judge.
And if you're not a believer, he's gonna be another prosecutor against you.
So the people who say, Satan's gonna bring this up on Judgment Day.
Look at Dan, he swore, he committed fornication or whatever, you know what I mean?
And as a believer, and repentant of sins and everything else, right?
I confess my sins.
At this day, those things are gonna be brought up.
And they're gonna be shown.
And I'm gonna be very extremely embarrassed.
At the point, I'm like, yeah, I do deserve hell.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's gotta be, everyone's gonna see this one day, right?
It's all the stuff we did, we already, you know, recognized.
When it's all brought up to you at once, and we're gonna see the nasty stuff, right?
Be like, oh man, you'll be right in front of the Lord telling you, like, you're gonna feel so embarrassed.
And it's gonna be like, wow.
And when you hear Jesus tell Satan, hey, I paid for my sins.
And him as a judge, he's like, you know, case dismissed.
And that's when you're really going to feel the mercy and grace of the Lord.
Right now, we could... Yeah, we feel it at times.
The Holy Spirit lets us feel it at times.
But you're not really going to feel it until you face judgment.
When you are there... Number one, when Jesus brings all this stuff up, right?
It's all plain and funny, right?
And Satan's like, this is what this man deserves to go to hell, right?
You are going to not only be embarrassed, right?
You are going to be scared crap out of your boots.
Thinking, oh man, I'm going to hell.
You're going to see all the stuff he did.
I deserve hell.
I'm going to go to hell, right?
And if you're saved by grace with the good works and everything else, right?
You have a repentant heart and all that.
You come with the blood of Jesus.
And he stretches out his hands and holds them and says, I paid for his sins.
Then, you're going to break down in tears.
You are going to break down in tears of joy.
Because that time, you will feel the true mercy, the true love of our Savior.
Thank you, Jesus.
Because you're going to see all that bad stuff happen.
You're like, oh man.
Then you're going to be like, oh man, so bad that you're probably going to cry.
You're going to be scared.
Because all you're thinking right now is, I'm going to hell.
I don't want to go there.
And Jesus is going to be like, you know what?
I'm your lawyer.
You've done all this bad stuff, but you know what?
I paid for those sins because you believed in me, you had faith in me, and you repented, and you kept confessing these sins and everything else.
Right?
I paid for those sins.
So therefore, and then you're going to be like, from that scared, you're going to go from like, definitely afraid, more than you ever... Imagine, like, picture this, right?
Think of a time in your life you were afraid more than ever, right?
You were afraid like the most feared, right?
Maybe a life-threatening situation, right?
Magnify that times a million.
I couldn't even give you the scale to tell you the truth.
That's what you're gonna be feeling when you see all these things brought up against you.
Because all you're thinking, I'm done, I'm going to the lake of fire.
Because judgment, you don't go to hell after that, you go to the lake of fire.
Then you gotta think, oh, I'm going to the lake of fire, man.
Then Jesus says, I pay for those sins, you're forgiven.
Case dismissed.
Then you gotta just, you gotta feel all that emotions.
It's gotta be an emotional rollercoaster.
From fear to true love and acceptance through Jesus.
Because you believed in him, you did your best and had a repetitive heart and everything else.
But those people who don't believe, unfortunately, they're going to the lake of fire.
They ain't going to have no lawyer.
And Satan's not going to be a lawyer, people who worship Satan.
He's not going to be a lawyer.
You're the first one who's going to be condemned.
Well, these people foolishly follow me.
They deserve the lake of fire.
And guess what?
That's exactly where you're going.
And the people of this dispersationist movement that it's like, oh, I can believe in Jesus now because of grace, I can go do whatever I want.
If I want to go break the Ten Commandments and just do it willingly, I'm going to heaven.
So now when you stand before judgment, thinking, yeah, I'm going to heaven, right?
And Jesus is like, oh, I don't know, I never knew you.
What?
What are you talking about?
I did, you know, cast out demons in your name.
I, um, witnessed the people in your name.
Yeah, but you never knew me.
I don't know you.
Because I told you, you know, in scripture, you need to repent from sins.
You need to confess them.
And obey my father's commandments.
But you thought, okay, you thought you could do whatever the heck you wanted.
I don't know you.
And I'm not advocating for you.
So the judgment rules that you're going to have the lake of fire.
And to Satan, that's a victory for him because he wants to bring everybody down with him.
So I hope you guys get the picture.
If you don't, please message me on the comments.
Not the live chat, but the comments.
Send me a message and I'll go to truthradioshow.com or truthradioshowatartwork.com Either one.
Contact me.
Put it in the comments.
I'll get back to you.
And I'll explain it better.
Or if you got questions or whatever.
Yeah, let me know.
So anyway.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.
But we are made manifest unto God.
And I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
In your consciences, your thoughts and like everything about you, right?
You know what a conscience is, right?
And that's what the conscience is.
What happens when you do something very disgusting?
You know you said it.
We do it willingly sometimes and we feel like a bunch of Fools!
I mean, when I willingly, like when I said sometime, and I'm being honest, I have nothing to hide.
I did it, known darn well what I was doing, and I did it anyway, and I felt like, oh man, I deserve the Lake of Fire.
I deserve the Lake of Fire.
Jesus, please forgive me, and I'm sorry, I knew, you know, I can't claim to be ignorant, because I knew what I was doing, and I did it anyway.
Because I was tempted.
The conscience sears you, right?
That it just beats you over the head.
The conscience, that's the Holy Spirit in you.
In your conscience.
That makes you feel that guilt that you just committed to sin.
Or abomination or anything like that, right?
Transgression or...
You know, it's crazy.
It really is a knob.
That's where your conscience, you know, sears your conscience.
That's the Holy Spirit.
Now people who don't have the Holy Spirit in them, they don't have a conscience like that.
Like these dispensations, oh yeah, well, the Ten Commandments ain't valid.
So I can, you know, and I ask these people who say this all the time, so is it okay to worship other gods now?
Can you commit idolatry now?
Could you use the Lord's name in vain now?
Not honor the Sabbath?
Not honor your father and mother no more?
Murder?
Is that okay now?
Commit adultery?
Steal?
Lie in covet?
Is that okay now?
No, it's not.
That's sinful.
Okay, that's lawless.
And Jesus says the lawless will not enter the kingdom of God.
He said that in Matthew and he says this in Revelation coming up and many other times.
So, those people don't have that spiritual conscience with the Holy Spirit.
Yeah, knowing the truth, therefore the terror of the Lord.
You know what I was explaining earlier?
While you're standing before the Lord, all these sins will be played out for you, right?
On the judgment seat.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, you think you're going to hell.
When you see all the stuff like I explained, right?
And if you're saved by grace and because you've done the works and everything, the good works, they're gonna be brought up too.
Good or bad, everything's gonna be brought up that you've done.
No matter what it is, bad or good, it's all gonna be brought up.
But, and here's what the dispensationalists don't understand.
Oh, just we all have to just get saved, that's it.
Yeah, no, I mean like, yeah, just by grace we can do whatever we want.
No.
See, yes, we understand.
The good doesn't... You can do more good than bad.
That's not going to get you heaven.
You get to heaven by grace.
But however, you need to produce good fruit.
See, he talks about lukewarm Christians, Jesus does.
Lukewarm Christians.
He's going to chew you up and spit you out because you lost your Savior.
Flavor, I'm sorry.
You're supposed to be the light and salt of the earth, and you lost your flavor.
It's like bad meat with no salt.
It's bland, I'm spitting it out.
And it's lukewarm.
He wants people on fire, full of flavor, full of light.
And that's why I feel I can't do more.
I'm sorry, I can't do enough, I should say.
That's why I do these shows and everything, because I want to do my part and bring the testimony for the Lord to the people.
And again, these people go, you know, they're, I'm sorry, woe us, known there for the terror of the Lord.
You don't want to face that.
So we persuade men, but we are made manifest.
That's why I say we persuade men.
He's saying that's why we try to witness the people.
Because if they knew the terror of the Lord, yeah, they're going to find out the terror of the Lord.
So that's why we persuade men.
You know, talk about man and woman, whatever the case, to believe in the Lord.
Because they don't want to face that terror of the Lord.
But we are made manifest unto God.
And I trust also are made manifest in your conscience.
For we condemn not ourselves again unto you, but to give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have some want to answer them which glory in appearance and not in the heart.
So commend means not glorify by all.
Okay, you know what I mean?
You commend something which is, it's an honor, you know?
And we don't commend ourselves, again, onto you.
But we give you occasion to the glory on our behalf.
So we give the glory to Him, it's not us.
So we don't commend ourselves.
We commend God.
So even all the good works we do and everything else, we don't pat ourselves on the back.
That's what he's saying, I'm sorry.
You don't pat yourself on the back and say, oh, look at me, and all that, and people glorify you, and you gotta tell them, don't glorify me, it's for the Lord, I'm just a messenger.
People do that a lot.
I, you know, we help a lot of people, right?
Spiritually, right?
People say, oh, thank you so much.
You do so good work.
It's like, all right, it's cool, yeah, but all credit goes to the Lord.
Because without the Lord, I couldn't do all that good stuff the way it should be done.
But that's also producing good fruit.
That's what the Lord wants to say.
And I know it weighs on a lot of people's hearts.
Oh, man, I did this, that, my life.
Oh, man.
And you're thinking in the back of your mind, oh, man, I'm not going to make the cut.
But the scripture does say, and I, you know, I do get that a lot too.
I'm guilty of that.
But we need to understand, we need to have faith that the Lord's going to save us.
If we're trying to walk that path that's straight and narrow, and yeah, we get, all of us get shoved off that path.
We do stupid things every day.
But our repentant heart leads us back to the Lord.
Not the other night, and I hope you're, you know, confessing your sins you did.
And many of us do repetitive sins.
Absolutely.
Every day.
It's just about right.
But, you know, confess them.
And ask the Lord to help you stop doing these things.
And to help you to avoid temptation.
Right?
It says again that you may have someone to answer them which glory in appearance and not in the heart.
Yet glory in appearance and not in heart.
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God.
And whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Like whether you be beside yourself, it's like, wow, you're shocked.
Actually, you know what?
I never really understood exactly what that beside myself meaning.
It is so strong that it makes you almost out of control.
All right.
So something you do and it just makes you feel like you're not in control, right?
He was beside himself with grief and she died.
Emotional, it's emotional state or whatever the case, right?
So whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God.
Or whether we be sober, It is for your cause.
So it doesn't say, beside yourself means drunk.
No, it's like, besides yourself.
Oh, wow, you know?
Because we showed the definition.
Sober means just to be, yeah, sober-minded and all that.
Not just from alcohol, but from everything else, too, you know?
For the love of Christ constrains us, because we thus judge that if one dies for all, then we are all dead.
So let's break this down, right?
For the love of Christ constrains us.
So when we're in despair, right?
We're not thinking of sin.
And if we are thinking of sin, we get convicted right away and we stop.
we don't do it, right?
So to say you're playing the Bible, you're not...
Be honest with yourself, right?
You don't have to put it in the comments or nothing.
When you're reading up, playing the audio bible or whatever, and you're tempted to do a sin, you don't do it.
Because you've got the word of God playing, and yeah, 99% of the time you're not even thinking of the sin.
And if it comes to your head right away, when I'm doing those studies, right?
I say, get behind me Satan.
Because Satan is trying to throw, you know, with guys, sexual thoughts in your head, or women, thoughts of vanity, and just all kinds of thoughts of why you're trying to study the Word of God.
He's out there trying to throw everything at you to make you spiritually off-target with the Scripture.
So he doesn't want you to read the Bible with the Holy Spirit.
So when we start sinning, the Holy Spirit ain't gonna help us.
Understand, you know what I'm saying?
So right now, We're thinking of something, like, we're trying to understand, but we've got a head in the clouds somewhere, right?
You're not learning enough, and you won't learn enough.
That's Satan trying to throw stuff at you, but if you get these thoughts of anything like that, like, bad thoughts while you're doing it, just say, get behind me, Satan, because that's Satan trying to do this to you.
That's why we need to keep focused when we study the Word of God.
And when you're hearing the Word of God, too, right?
Most likely you're not thinking of sin when you do it, but you don't do it because you're like, oh wow, alright.
Because you feel the Holy Spirit in you, and you get convicted real quick.
And for the love of Christ constrained us.
And I wish we could have that 24-7, because we wouldn't sin at all, you know?
Because we thus judge that if one died for all, then we're all dead.
Yeah, because we do judge that if one died for all, then we're all dead. - Okay.
So let's find out what that means.
And that he died for all, and again, we could see, try to figure out what's this mean, right?
That if one died for all, we're all dead, right?
So this is a perfect example of how context is key.
So what does that mean?
Right off the bat, I don't know what that means.
I'll tell you right now.
I don't know what that means.
And you can have many people with different interpretations.
But, again, what do we teach, right?
Read description context.
Context is key.
So this is a perfect example I want to point out, because right now I'm like, oh, what does that mean?
So it goes on to explain what it means.
And that he died for all, that in which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them and rose again.
So that's what that means.
That he died for us all, yeah, okay?
That which live should not henceforth live unto themselves.
So we don't live unto ourselves, we live for him.
Because if you lived for yourselves, and thinking you died for us all, then we're all dead.
But we got a need to live on to Him, which died for them, and rose again.
He rose again, therefore we are going to rise again, at the resurrection.
Because if you're just thinking, I'll just die for all, and then didn't resurrect.
Because some people believe in Jesus, but not And um, I don't want to jump down too many rabbit holes for the sake of time here, but some people believe in Jesus, but they don't believe in the Messiah.
They don't believe he rose again like the Muslims.
They know, they recognize Jesus.
They talk about him in the Quran, which is a false doctrine, just like the Catechism and the Book of Mormons and the Watchtower and all that stuff, right?
And in fact, every one of those mentions Jesus.
But they obscure our description.
They believe he's just a prophet, and he died, but we believe he, yeah, he's more than a prophet.
He was the son of God.
God manifested in the flesh.
And he died, yes, and we believe that he resurrected.
Right?
And unto him that which died for them rose again.
So what does that mean?
After the flesh, that means after they die, right?
Yea, do we have known Christ after the flesh.
Yet not henceforth, we know him no more.
So what does that mean?
After the flesh, that means after they die, right?
Right now, everybody that you know has died, right?
Do you know him anymore?
In other words, of course you know him, but what Paul's trying to say, do you get to talk to him?
Do you get to, you know, have interaction with him?
No.
The dead are forgotten about in the world here.
When they die, they're forgotten about.
Gone.
And you won't see him into the, you know, hopefully you'll see him in heaven.
But yeah, the same.
Everybody that you know has died.
After the flesh, we don't know more.
But yea, we have known Christ after the flesh.
So, they have known Christ in the flesh, and after he died and rose again, after the flesh.
We didn't know Christ in the flesh.
We weren't around back then, but we know him after the flesh.
We know him back in the spirit here.
Yet knoweth forth, we know him, we know him, I'm sorry, yeah, we decided to read these sometime.
That's why I don't, I mean I don't use the newer Bibles because I know it's easier to read but they do change a lot of key words and take Bible verses out and I don't want to deal with that.
So I'd rather deal with the choppy English language here and then have to deal with some false testimony and I'm not going to learn nothing from these false newer Bibles I should say.
But yet now, henceforth, know we Him no more.
So, henceforth, we don't know him no more.
Therefore, if any man... This is about people.
Therefore, if any man, being Christ, he is a new creature.
All things are passed away.
Behold, all things are become new.
So, when somebody gets saved, just say your Uncle Tim, right?
He just got saved today.
You don't know Tim no more.
He's dead.
He's a new man.
The old Tim that used to go drinking all the time and, uh, pick fights with people purposely and just do bad things to people?
Yeah, he's saved now, he repented and all that.
That's not Chris no more.
Uncle Chris.
He's a new creature.
Old things have passed away, just like when we all got saved, right?
So, you know, that bad person that we were or whatever, and yeah, we could have been good people too, but we didn't have Jesus with us.
And at the time I was, like, dabbling to the cultic stuff and all that.
And when I finally really understood things and really got saved, those things passed away, and we become new.
And all things are of God.
Who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
We can reconcile with Jesus to become a new person, a better person.
To wit, which is smarts, that God was in Christ.
So to understand knowingly, right?
And to wit, again, is being smart, you know?
And understanding.
That God was in Christ.
God manifested in the flesh, right?
Through Christ.
Reconciled the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
So, God knew, you know, the whole testimony of Jesus.
God knew the world, that they couldn't be saved That's why Jesus had to go down to, um, to Sheol, Sheol, to get these people.
Because even the best of the prophets and all that, yeah.
The only one who was taken up with God, I'm sorry, was Enoch.
And Elijah.
All the rest went into Sheol.
Same thing with the good people that did spread the word of God.
Like David, um... We go down the list with that, right?
Ezekiel and all that, they went to Shoal.
Jesus spent three days and three nights in Shoal to redeem his people.
Because God saw, it's like, oh yeah.
And he had the plan from the beginning anyway.
As you can see from the book of Genesis.
The planning of Jesus coming to save the world, the Messiah.
That's what all the prophets spoke about, right?
So, God knew that we could, you know, with sacrifices, animal sacrifices and things like that, And I know it's hard to comprehend people, but God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are one.
plain and simple.
So he sent his son on the earth here.
And I know it's hard to comprehend people that God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are one.
They're one of one spirit.
And it's hard for people to understand that.
How could the Father be God, and God be, I mean, I'm sorry, how could the Father be Jesus, and Jesus be Father, and Jesus prayed to the Father and all that, and glorified the Father, because you need to understand, yeah, they're three different entities, but the same spirit.
And it's real hard for the human brain to comprehend that.
That's why a lot of people have a stumbling block.
They come up with this Trinity thing and everything else, all these little theories, but you really need to understand the spiritual.
If you could unlock your brain right now, Just the world limitations I've been putting on you, you would never, I mean if you, with the world limitations, of science and all that, you would never in the world, ever, ever understand this.
And I don't know how I understand this, and I really believe it's from the Holy Spirit, and um, because, I'm like, wow, how, and I'm not nobody special, I'm not gloating or nothing, but I don't know how I understand it, but I do.
Cause he's omnipresent.
He's three different entities in the same spirit.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
So Jesus wasn't praying to himself when he was talking to the Father.
He was talking to the Father, but that one.
He is God manifest in the flesh.
And I know that sounds contradicting to people, but if you understood Just spiritual applications of this, it wouldn't be contradicting.
And if you're an atheist, or whatever the case, or a new people, you're like, damn, but now you're just contradicting yourself.
They're saying that Jesus talked to himself, but then he's got it manifest in the flesh.
Then he's praying to the Father.
No, it's not contradicting, because if you don't understand what I'm... And I can't even... Honestly, I can't even put it in words.
I can't.
And I don't even know how to even begin to put it in words.
But somehow, some way, I understand it.
And all credit to God and Holy Spirit in Christ because... Yeah, it's... Again, I can't come up with a word.
But now, that we are ambassadors for Christ as though God did beseech you by us.
We pray you in Christ's stead to be reconciled to God.
Because we are separated from God when the fall of man.
It all started in the Garden of Eden, right?
The fall of man separated us from God.
And the thing is, you're not a child of God.
People need to understand that.
We went over the scriptures on this.
The only way you're a child of God is if you become born again.
And you're grafted into His kingdom, His spiritual Israel, not Israel in the Middle East.
You're grafted into the spiritual Israel.
That's the kingdom of God.
And you're then adopted.
We went over this in scripture in these studies here.
You're then adopted.
When you're born into the world, you're not a child of God.
Granted, if something happens to you at the end of the year, in a sense, you do go to heaven.
However, as adults here, right?
Every adult in the world, every person in the world, is not a child of God.
You have to go through Jesus Christ to be saved.
Then, and only then, You get adopted as a child of God, and grafted into God's Israel.
And I want to point out too, just because somebody says they're a Jew, doesn't mean they automatically go into heaven and they're a child of God.
No.
You have to believe in the Messiah.
Doesn't matter who you are.
Or what bloodline you come from, or race, or whatever, none of that matters.
It's all irrelevant.
You could be a direct descendant from King David himself.
Doesn't mean you're going to heaven.
You have to go through Christ.
It doesn't matter who you are.
And you got people in the Hebrew Movement and the Black Hebrew Movement.
They think because of their bloodline they're automatically going to heaven and nobody else is.
That's not what the Bible says.
I gotta do a show on that sometime.
So we pray you Christ's stead and reconcile to God.
Thank God to beseech, let me see.
You kind of know what it is, but I think it's shunned away.
Beseeched definition.
Is past tense, beseeched.
Beseeched is ask somebody urgently and fervently to do something.
All right, I'm sorry.
I thought it was like something like rejection.
So let me clarify that one.
So beseeched is to urgently and fervently ask you to do something.
So see how that's a perfect example, right there.
So see how that one word, I thought it was like a rejection.
I didn't.
So that changed the whole concept of the word, of Russia, right?
So I'm glad this happened, because this is a perfect example of what I've been talking about.
And I say this all the time, right?
That word, besiege, right?
I had a wrong meaning for that word.
So if I didn't go look that up right now, I would think that's God rejecting him.
That's what I thought for a minute.
But, you know, the Holy Spirit led me to say, hey, go look it up.
This is not what it means.
It's urgently or fervently asking you to do something.
Imploring you.
Like you have beseeched him to stay.
Like you're begging him urgently to stay, right?
Alright, so that changes the entire meaning of this verse.
I'm glad this happened because it shows, number one, I'm not perfect.
Number two, That the God, um, that the Holy Spirit convicted me, right?
Number three, it shows you a perfect example why you should never be embarrassed to go look up a way.
And if somebody's teaching you something, right, uh, you know, you hear a description from somebody, if you don't know what something means, you ask them.
Don't be afraid, you know, and say, well, I'm going to look dumb in front of these people.
No, don't do that.
Don't think that.
Ask them.
Stop saying, hold on a second, after you get to the verse, could you please explain what beseech means?
Because that changed the entire outcome of the rest right now.
Right?
So now, let's read it again.
So now, we are ambassadors for Christ.
That means we are representatives of grace.
That's what ambassador means.
As though God did beseech you by us, right?
He begged him, he fervently asked you, right?
By us.
We pray you in Christ's name.
I don't even know what steed means, so...
And this is what a Bible study is.
I'm not ashamed to admit, I don't know what a word is.
So, to place a role that someone or something should have to fill.
So it's a role, it's a use for referring to substitute.
And so, it's a role basically you have to play, right?
And so, yeah, we pray in Christ's deeds, right?
The role.
Right?
And so again, the place or role that someone or something should have to fill, right?
So, we play in Christ's role that we should have to fill, right?
Be you reconciled to God.
So, I'm glad this happened, because now we could understand the full meaning of this now.
I just had to look two words up to understand what this rush meant.
The rest was just read in it, and I had a completely misunderstanding of this rush.
That changes the entire outcome.
And the context.
So now that we are ambassadors for Christ, we're representatives of Christ, right?
As though God did beseech you by us, right?
God beseeched us.
Urgently asked us, begged us.
Right?
And we pray you in Christ's steed.
In other words, to fulfill Christ's steed, to fulfill his teachings.
To be, yeah, be reconciled to God.
For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin.
Now, again, we need to read this in context before we jump to, what do you mean he's a sin?
Hold on.
It doesn't say that.
In the Atheist Summary, Bioscoff will point that out.
Oh, look!
Paul's saying that Jesus is made to be sin.
Now, that's not what he means.
They'll point that out and leave the rest out.
So, For he had made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteous of God in him.
So is Paul saying that Jesus is a sin?
He's made to be a sin?
In the context, no.
He's made sin for us.
To die for our sins.
He was the flesh, God in the flesh, the Son of Man, Son of God, that came to be sacrificed.
The whole point of Jesus coming to the earth is to be sacrificed for our sins, right?
That's what that means.
And He knew no sin.
Jesus didn't sin at all.
So, how could He be of sin?
That's what they'll never read the rest.
They'll put this out there and try to belittle Jesus or Paul or try to entangle them two together against each other.
No, that's not how it is.
There's a lot of religions, I said earlier, they hate Paul because Paul was very effective.
So they'll put something like this.
Oh, look, he's saying that Jesus was made to be said for us.
That's a bad thing.
Right there, just that alone, if we just read that for just that one part of the rest, the rest wasn't there, that sounds like Jesus is bad.
And they'll say, look, Paul, he's trashed from Jesus, right?
But!
But, read the rest of the verse, who knew no sin.
So, how can it be sin if he knew no sin?
Makes no sense, right?
Then we add the rest of it, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Now we understand fully, and I'm glad we do these teachings because I like to point these things out guys.
Sorry to sound repetitive, but I like to point these things out because we need to be wiser serpents than Thomas's does.
Because the serpents will use this against us.
And 99% of the people they talk to guys, unfortunately, they're not going to go look this up.
They'll put this Bible verse out here and they'll half-ass it.
Excuse the language, but you know anything I can come up with.
They'll half-ass it, right?
Look, oh yeah, look at Paul.
That's why he's a bad man, although trashy, whatever the case, right?
So look, if you go 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21, he says Jesus is to be sinned for us.
They'll use that to bash Paul or Jesus or both, right?
But it's like, hold on, stop where you are.
Because I deal with these people all the time.
And in debate chat rooms, it's great because it keeps you sharp, you know?
And I know it says not to debate with a fool, but the reason we do this for is because the people, mainly because not them directly, it's the people that they're misleading that we, uh, to, uh, engage with, you know, to show them the truth.
That's why I mainly do it.
Nothing.
I mean, if the guy was there by himself, I would just ignore him.
But, you know, I reach out to people that he misleads or shame.
Well, yeah.
So he's not saying that Jesus is sin for us as In that context.
He's to be sinned, right?
That would absorb our sins.
Die for our sins.
Shed His blood for our sins.
But He knew no sin.
Like He didn't sin at all.
But He took our sins upon Him.
That we may be made righteousness of God in Him.
Through Jesus Christ, the only way to God.
Hope I made this very clear, right?
And through Jesus Christ is our way to God.
Nor the name of the heaven, nor the intercessor, nor the mediator, not Mary, not none of the saints, not none of the angels, not none of your dead people, friends, whatever, not lighting a million candles and paying the Catholic Church money, no.
Jesus is the only way between man and God.
Not Muhammad, not Joseph Smith, not any of those clowns.
Through Jesus, that's it.
So, if you guys got any questions, comments, or anything like that, please put it in the comments section, not the chat, but the comments section, and I'll get back to you.
Because it's very important to understand this stuff, guys.
Again, I mean, I can't emphasize this enough.
John Hall is the one that came up with this... He made this meme here.
So, very important.
That's why I use it all the time.
And I sound redundant.
But we... I need to keep myself reminded.
So that's why every video of this is in here.
Read the scripture in context.
Context is key.
What description interprets scripture.
Because if we didn't do that, we would easily fall for these people out there who craftily... They're snakes.
They very intelligent but maniacal way They'll take this out of context.
So I'm not saying I don't know Maybe a new just say somebody printed a new Bible, right?
They would put this in here and leave the rest out Imagine them what kind of damage that would do Imagine that right now.
I shouldn't even say it because I don't want to give these people an idea Imagine right now if somebody printed a new Bible and they just had this in there And they left the rest out.
Like the NIV Bible, right?
They take out keywords, entire verse is gone.
Or they take out, or edit, or whatever the case, or change keywords.
That removes the context of the rest.
So imagine that in the new Bible.
That's example.
Without this explaining the rest, okay?
We would think Jesus is to be sinned for us.
That would be a bad thing.
In that context.
But in this context, no.
He absorbs these sins for us.
So we may go to Him to be with the Father.
Because remember, we are disconnected from God.
That's why we need reconciliation.
We need to reconcile with the Father.
And the only way to do that is coming through Jesus Christ.
So thank you guys for joining us here, and uh, don't take my word for it, or anybody's word for it, read it for yourself!
No false ministry or religion will ever tell you that.
And I want you guys, right after we're done here, go read this, go read this, 21 verses.
And whatever you get out of it guys, let me know in the comment section.
Maybe if it's something I missed, that you want to emphasize on it, please by all means, because I'm still learning myself.
And you're not going to insult me, please.
If you say, Dan, you got this wrong.
You're not going to insult me.
Because the Bible says to challenge every spirit.
I want to be challenged.
If I said something wrong, I want to know I said something wrong.
And if you're right, I'm going to repent from that.
And I'm going to tell you, you're right.
And correct myself.
So I know there's a couple of people in the chat, like Buddy Red Lebrun.
He does that sometimes.
He's like, Dan, you're wrong.
He really gives it to me.
And a couple of times, he was right.
And I'm like, yeah, you were right, brother.
And we discussed it.
You know what I mean?
And he was right.
And I came out and said, yeah, I'm sorry.
This is what it was.
No shame in doing that.
None.
We all need to be corrected.
Especially that man behind the pulpit at your church.
They need to, they're the ones mostly need to be corrected.
Because they got a congregation of hundreds of people, thousands, whatever the case.
We all need to be sharpened.
Iron sharpens iron.
Swallow your pride, that's what I do all the time.
If I'm wrong, nobody wants to be wrong, of course not.
But in this case here, you need to swallow your pride.
Because if you can't swallow your pride, you shouldn't be teaching.
And that goes for myself.
If I cancel all my pride one day, guess what?
I should not be teaching anymore.
And the other thing I come up with, too, is the day you stop learning is the day you should stop teaching.
That day when you think you know it all, you should not be behind the pulpit.
You should not be teaching the Word of God.
You should not be doing anything like this.
I am constantly... I just learned today, just now, right in front of you guys.
I just learned myself, verse 20 there.
Something I learned I misunderstood at first, right?
Have you seen it?
I just learned today.
And again, the day you stop learning is the day you should stop teaching.
Because you have no business teaching the Word of God if you stop learning.
You could be the greatest scholar in the world, and you still Should be studying the Word of God.
It's a non-stop thing.
So check me out on truthradioshow.com guys Show listings and all that good stuff on there documentaries and also the links for these Bible studies We got them separated by the way on the website guys.
