0:00
good morning guys and this is type again
0:01
and I know this may sounds a little bit
0:03
different but uh today I wanted to
0:05
tackle something else like I will
0:08
entertain this on the study of
0:09
apologetics and apologetics my
0:12
definition is defending the truth now um
0:16
and one of the things that I've been
0:19
interested in is I really understanding
0:22
why God exists objectively in a sense
0:25
that is not something that is given over
0:27
to relativity like a lot of people say
0:29
well that's what you believe but it's
0:31
not about that's what I believe that's
0:33
the truth so and this morning I wanted
0:36
to take some time to like squeeze in
0:39
this quick show and show you something
0:42
that maybe you've never seen before so
0:44
take your time to really understand what
0:46
I'm coming from like again a lot of
0:49
people want to ask questions about prove
0:51
that God exists how do you know that God
0:53
exists and this is really absurd to ask
0:57
that to begin with because like I say in
1:00
my on my screen here I'll read off the
1:03
screen so you'd understand what I'm
1:04
trying to say I'll say let me start with
1:06
this premise if there was ever a time
1:08
when there was nothing what could there
1:11
possibly be now in a sense that really
1:15
is a rhetorical question I want you to
1:18
think about it and you can answer this
1:19
question in the comfort of your own
1:21
setting you know think about it if there
1:24
was ever a time when there was nothing
1:27
what could there possibly be now okay
1:31
now like I said I'm amazed at the amount
1:35
of highly intelligent like folks who
1:38
stumble at the reality of the existence
1:40
of the God of the Holy Scriptures when I
1:42
say God I'm not talking about any God in
1:44
your own thinking I'm talking about the
1:46
God of the Holy Scriptures of the Bible
1:49
okay now I've had like a lot of
1:52
interaction with a lot of people my own
1:54
dad and my brother and close friends and
1:56
relatives and people from all walks of
1:58
life all religion all genders and they
2:02
have a hard time in understanding and
2:05
believing the reality of the uncaused
2:07
eternal god of the scriptures and a lot
2:10
alike the question is prove that he
2:14
without question because I thought you
2:16
know I don't have an answer for you but
2:19
my mind tuition I know that he exists
2:22
but I didn't have a way to explain that
2:25
to them I didn't have an argument for
2:27
them until he became clear to me like a
2:30
couple of years ago okay and this is
2:32
what I wanna talk to you about this
2:34
morning there's no big deal without
2:37
question it's actually very easy to
2:40
and as a matter of fact like I say here
2:42
all I need is the Snickers on your feet
2:44
and that's sufficient evidence to prove
2:47
that God exists and I know a lot of
2:49
people are gonna be like how's that
2:51
possible that doesn't mean anything and
2:54
today I will answer this way if anything
2:58
exists now there has to be someone that
3:01
always existed and as when I mean
3:04
existed I mean existed eternally or what
3:07
could that possibly be now think about
3:09
it again and Moses he actually talked
3:12
about this question he anticipated that
3:14
objection years ago thousands of years
3:16
ago and that's an entire chapter of the
3:19
book of Exodus God sends him to the
3:22
Israelite and he says to God if I come
3:25
to the people and say to them the god of
3:27
your father's has sent me to you and
3:29
they ask me what is his name what shall
3:31
I say to them and God says to Moses I am
3:35
Who I am and he said say these three
3:38
people I am hath sent me to you now keep
3:42
that in mind and we're gonna go a little
3:43
bit further now like I said this is the
3:46
most clear and concise statement that
3:48
God could have made to show his eternal
3:51
existence you and I are derived
3:53
individuals in a state of flux
3:56
mean change I am in other terms I exist
4:00
because of my mom and my dad you exist
4:04
and you are because of your parents and
4:06
if you keep following that sequence you
4:08
understand that anything that exists is
4:11
derived even your sneakers and this
4:15
statement I am is unique only to God
4:17
meaning he has no beginning and no end
4:20
he exists eternally and that my friend
4:24
separates us the created world
4:27
our universe from God the eternal being
4:30
now there was a time when you were not
4:33
meaning you didn't exist and the time
4:35
when the people and the materials used
4:37
to manufacture your sneakers didn't
4:39
exist a time when the universe wasn't
4:42
and science proved that the universe at
4:45
the beginning but there was never a time
4:47
when God was that because by definition
4:50
his name is I am in other words he
4:53
exists eternally he has existed for all
4:58
now do you see what I'm saying and Paul
5:00
actually talked about this in the book
5:02
of Romans and I'll bring out any certain
5:05
portion of the book of Acts I'll show
5:06
you here he says here for the wrath of
5:09
God is revealed from heaven against all
5:12
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men
5:14
who by their own righteousness suppress
5:17
the truth for what can be known about
5:20
God is plain to them because God has
5:24
shown it to them for us for his
5:26
invisible attributes namely is eternal
5:29
power and divine nature have been
5:32
clearly perceived ever since the
5:35
creation of the world in the things that
5:37
have been made so they are without
5:39
meaning Paul is saying is this this is
5:43
what he is saying the existence of God
5:47
is not given to relativity God exists
5:51
objectively in other words whether you
5:53
acknowledge it or not it is true truth
5:55
and I give you a very easy example I'm
5:58
black right I'm black so if I choose to
6:01
believe in my own mind I'm Chinese that
6:03
doesn't change the objective reality of
6:06
my blackness and I hope you get the
6:08
now Paul is also anticipating the excuse
6:11
of ignorance an excuse that is
6:13
widespread among many folks in this
6:15
generation is nothing new this is even
6:18
in biblical time there were people that
6:19
claimed there wasn't sufficient evidence
6:21
for the existence of God so Paul says
6:24
you are without excuse since the general
6:27
revelation which is creation in our case
6:30
something as trivial as your snicker
6:32
screamed the existence of God and I
6:35
repeated again if there was ever a time
6:38
when there was nothing
6:41
what could there possibly be now think
6:46
about it now Paul toxin in the Areopagus
6:49
that's in I think it says Athens right
6:52
if I'm not mistaken men of Athens I
6:55
perceive that in every way you are very
6:56
religious for us I passed along and
7:00
observed the objects of your worship I
7:01
found also an altar with this
7:03
inscription to the unknown God
7:06
right that's what these people were
7:07
thinking and he says what therefore you
7:10
worship as unknown this I proclaim to
7:12
you the God would mean the world and
7:14
everything in it being Lord of Heaven
7:16
and Earth does not live in temples made
7:18
by man nor is he served by human hands
7:21
as though he needed anything since he
7:24
himself gives to all mankind life and
7:28
breath and everything and he made from
7:30
one man every nation of mankind to live
7:33
on all the face of the earth having
7:35
determined the periods and the
7:37
boundaries of their dwelling place that
7:39
dishes seek God and perhaps feel their
7:41
way toward him and find him yet he is
7:44
actually not far from each one of us for
7:46
in him we live and move and have our
7:49
being meaning we are derived as even
7:52
some of your own poets have said for we
7:54
are indeed his offspring being then
7:56
God's offspring we are not to think that
7:59
the divine being is like gold and silver
8:01
or stone an image fashioned by art and
8:04
the imagination of men the times of
8:07
ignorance God overlooked but now he
8:09
commands all people everywhere to repent
8:11
because he has fixed the deal on which
8:14
he will judge the world in righteousness
8:15
by a man whom he has appointed he was
8:18
referring to Jesus Christ and of this he
8:20
has given assurance all by raising him
8:22
from the dead then when they heard of
8:24
the resurrection of the dead they mocked
8:26
some people laughed at it and people do
8:28
this to this day they laugh at I kind of
8:30
service scoff that is absurd that's what
8:32
I say this is stupid man now this is the
8:35
point I'm trying to make here this is
8:38
the point I'm making about the existence
8:40
of a necessary being that explained all
8:42
are the existence meaning without God
8:45
there could be nothing you see that
8:47
without God that can be us that can be
8:51
the universe or your sneakers and for
8:52
the last time I repeat it again
8:55
all I need is the sneakers on your feet
8:58
and have sufficient evidence to show the
9:00
eternal existence of God they guarded
9:02
the scripture because if there was ever
9:04
a time when there was nothing what could
9:08
they possibly be now now here's the
9:11
thing I don't say all this thing for the
9:13
sick of just babbling and just talking
9:15
okay that's not what I'm doing the truth
9:17
is God exists and consequently we as his
9:20
creation are accountable to him and he
9:22
has said a day on which he will judge
9:24
the world according to his own counsel
9:25
my question to you is this where do you
9:28
do you know God or are you known by God
9:31
that's the question now if you want to
9:34
know more about this I would invite you
