Hello, hello, friend, chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:26.978 --> 00:00:29.928
This title is word related.
00:00:29.928 --> 00:00:33.048
It's Season 5, episode 9.
00:00:33.048 --> 00:00:37.451
It will air on March 3, 2025.
00:00:37.451 --> 00:00:39.405
S5e9.
00:00:40.582 --> 00:00:47.448
In the past I have been treated like a child and pitied because I took the Bible literally and presented the Bible as fact.
00:00:47.448 --> 00:00:55.590
After all, I've been told by others that the Bible is full of contradictions, half-truths, exaggerations and fairy tales.
00:00:55.590 --> 00:01:05.054
1 Corinthians 1.18 Despite all the hypes and insults, I find the Bible to be the absolute and infallible Word of God.
00:01:05.054 --> 00:01:06.980
Hebrews 4.12.
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:26.653
Also, 2 Timothy 3.16-17 say All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
00:01:26.653 --> 00:01:36.447
In other words, if I don't understand it or fail to comprehend it or find it not believable, then it falls on me and not on the author.
00:01:36.447 --> 00:01:54.914
Stop and think that the history and authenticity of the Bible is somehow an invented story of the creation of the world and because of my superior intellect, I can disapprove the greatest story ever told.
00:01:54.914 --> 00:02:04.349
I wonder what kept the Word of God from showing me up some 6,000 years earlier and, with a wave of the hand, debunked the Bible.
00:02:04.349 --> 00:02:08.360
Let's go down a rabbit hole.
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:15.574
For a little bit, let's go on purpose and go down a big rabbit hole, not our truth, but God's truth.
00:02:15.574 --> 00:02:32.111
In order to create a world of order and defined structure, in order for it to last for a thousand or several million years, the creation structure and spiritual laws must be 100% right and have order to them.
00:02:32.111 --> 00:02:34.919
Even molecules and atoms.
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.667
Without structure and order by laws form nothing but confusion and disarray.
00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:46.895
God created the heavens and the earth, and God himself said in Genesis 1 31,.
00:02:46.895 --> 00:02:55.366
And God saw everything that he had made and behold, it was very good, and the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
00:02:55.366 --> 00:03:04.816
I think the naysayers need to rethink, or at least go back to school for them to have more time to reconsider their conclusion.
00:03:04.816 --> 00:03:11.653
So let's take a look at a couple of facts that make the Bible a book that can be trusted, at least in my opinion.
00:03:11.653 --> 00:03:15.176
There is more to this earth than mankind.
00:03:15.176 --> 00:03:18.518
The earth at one time was void and didn't exist.
00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:22.719
We are told by the Bible that God created the heavens and the earth.
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.157
How do we know that man was not even around at the beginning?
00:03:27.157 --> 00:03:33.997
Once mankind was created, who told the man what he needed to know to explain the creation.
00:03:33.997 --> 00:03:40.456
It was God who created all things, and all things exist through his Son, jesus Christ.
00:03:40.456 --> 00:03:56.640
Now pay attention to these verses, for by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:04.901
All things were created by him, for him and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
00:04:04.901 --> 00:04:10.899
And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead.
00:04:10.899 --> 00:04:14.538
If there's a firstborn, there's a second, third and fourthborn.
00:04:14.538 --> 00:04:18.795
My name's in there somewhere, my number's in there somewhere.
00:04:18.795 --> 00:04:29.139
And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead.
00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:56.922
That in all things he might have preeminence, for it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell, and having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile, make level or make equal all things unto himself, by him I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven and you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works.
00:04:56.922 --> 00:05:07.363
Yet now has he reconciled in the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unapprovable in his sight.
00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:12.096
Colossians 1, 20-22 you are the body of Christ.
00:05:12.096 --> 00:05:20.744
If you're a believer and by being in the body of Christ as a believer, everything has been reconciled to you.
00:05:20.744 --> 00:05:25.898
And you've been reconciled to God, you get to approach God and visit Him.
00:05:25.898 --> 00:05:28.358
You get to become a son or daughter of God.
00:05:28.358 --> 00:05:30.716
What a privilege.
00:05:31.829 --> 00:05:38.478
Some time ago, we discovered that the earth was hurling through space at a precise speed and calculated distance from the sun.
00:05:38.478 --> 00:05:46.779
Otherwise, we would be too far away from the sun to stay warm enough to survive, or we would be spinning too fast and would sling us off.
00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:54.502
Think about it the small, intricate structure of the atom that was necessary to give life to everything.
00:05:54.502 --> 00:05:57.826
The law of gravity, the law of life, the law of sin and death.
00:05:57.826 --> 00:05:58.872
Our God is love.
00:05:58.872 --> 00:05:59.754
Life, the law of sin and death.
00:05:59.754 --> 00:06:04.141
Our God is love and that's his spiritual law.
00:06:04.141 --> 00:06:05.824
Our God is love.
00:06:12.189 --> 00:06:15.069
Every other God is a fake and is used to manipulate everything and in our short time span on earth would have wiped mankind out of existence.
00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:28.822
If it wasn't for the absolute integrity and rightness of God, we wouldn't be here and, in the process, destroy everything.
00:06:28.822 --> 00:06:31.848
If it were not for a God of precise and infinite perfection.
00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:37.223
Everything was operating correctly and running smoothly until the devil interfered.
00:06:37.223 --> 00:06:39.249
Our God is spirit.
00:06:39.249 --> 00:06:43.245
Only the true God can withstand and eliminate others and never lose.
00:06:43.245 --> 00:06:47.144
Therefore we must worship him in spirit and in truth.
00:06:47.144 --> 00:06:48.860
John 4, 24.
00:06:49.915 --> 00:06:51.103
God being a spirit.
00:06:51.103 --> 00:06:57.983
Spirit is not visible, and being a spirit gives him the authority to be omnipresent and not restrained to one place.
00:06:57.983 --> 00:07:05.069
He is omniscient, or in other words he knows everything, otherwise he would have been destroyed by evil.
00:07:05.069 --> 00:07:14.910
And the devil is a god and master of deceit, lies and has no godly attributes of our omniscience and omnipresence.
00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:19.505
The devil can't be everywhere at once and he can't read your mind.
00:07:19.505 --> 00:07:24.586
He can put a thought in your head and maybe read your mouth when you blab it, all over the place.
00:07:24.586 --> 00:07:28.185
But the devil is not anywhere near superior.
00:07:28.185 --> 00:07:31.023
He is a fallen angel.
00:07:31.023 --> 00:07:32.694
He doesn't have a body.
00:07:32.694 --> 00:07:35.983
He cannot operate on this earth without a body.
00:07:35.983 --> 00:07:37.245
You can't do it.
00:07:37.245 --> 00:07:38.067
You're very limited.
00:07:38.067 --> 00:07:41.723
Everything the devil does is by trickery and deceit.
00:07:43.755 --> 00:07:47.947
Probably the most startling fact in proving its authenticity is the state of Israel.
00:07:47.947 --> 00:07:57.228
No other nation has been able to survive several thousand years and has still have kept their integrity, cultural and even their original statehood.
00:07:57.228 --> 00:08:06.125
In other words, israel exists strictly because the God who created everything chose Israel and the Jews to be his prized possession.
00:08:06.125 --> 00:08:10.225
Call me deficient and simple-minded, all you want.
00:08:10.225 --> 00:08:17.343
The God of Abraham, isaac and Jacob exists forever with his Son, jesus Christ.
00:08:17.343 --> 00:08:24.862
That is why I believe the Bible and put my trust in him and can call myself a son of God.
00:08:24.862 --> 00:08:33.826
Hebrews 13 8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
00:08:35.655 --> 00:08:38.546
The Chaplains Corner has just started a new church in Kenya.
00:08:38.546 --> 00:08:42.284
They have around 20 to 40 people every Sunday.
00:08:42.284 --> 00:08:47.366
They're in desperate need of Bibles in their native language of Ntunyu.
00:08:47.366 --> 00:08:50.062
I know I didn't say it right.
00:08:50.062 --> 00:08:54.479
Right now the Bible is being read off of their phones.
00:08:54.479 --> 00:09:00.416
If they have a phone, I have a local bookstore over there that will order and supply the Bibles.
00:09:00.416 --> 00:09:03.783
The Bible costs $13 each plus shipping.
00:09:03.783 --> 00:09:07.229
Currently we are believing the Lord for 40 Bibles.
00:09:07.229 --> 00:09:14.879
