The Bible says and without controversy and so in other words Paul saying no
doubt about it that's what without controversy means great is the mystery
of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh and so what happened here's
here's the difference between the two world religions most people are
trying like the Tower of Babel to work their way up to God trying to be
good enough to just get up there and you know latch on to the kingdom but God
actually came down here that's the difference and actually you know no
other religion believes that none they'll all say well God you know God
is I mean there's one religion I'll give them that they say oh I'm God all
of us are God you know like polytheistic but you know if we have
it a beginning and an ending then we're not God so it just falls apart
but God actually came down here he took on the form of a man the Bible
says he was tempted in all points yet as we are like as we are yet without sin
the Bible says he went to the cross willingly knowing what I mean greater
love hath no man than this I tell I run into these Jehovah's Witnesses and
they're like Jesus couldn't have been God and like no he had to have
been and they say well why because greater love hath no man than this
then that a man lay down his life for his friends I see people lay down
their lives for each I've seen I've seen it I saw a motorcycler one time I was in
Bancroft a guy laid down his life for a motorcycler pushed him out of the way
as a semi was coming the other way and this guy was but in order for
God to demonstrate his love wouldn't he have to lay down his own life if
greater love had no men than this that a man lay down his life for his
friends does that make sense God loves us more than anybody and God himself
would have had to come and lay down his own life for his creation and that
is why we have the element of hurt and suffering and that's why we can
understand love
false prophets they don't they don't want you to go soul winning I'm just
gonna say that right now they want to make you feel good let me be honest
soul-winning is not always fun I enjoy it sometimes but it is not always fun in
fact yesterday I probably had the worst day ever thrown out of three
apartments you know several doors slammed in my face one guy yelled at
me they called the police you know but you know what that's not gonna stop me
and it's not gonna stop any of us I know that if any of you were in that
situation you'd do the same thing and in fact and in fact you'd probably keep
going I stopped I have something okay this I need to take a but some of you
would keep going Wayne Brandon would keep going Chuck would keep going Isaac
would it brother Jason would keep going this man would keep going I know all
of all of these people of God in here that are they're strong I'm not saying
you others aren't strong but I'm saying that the ones that I know
somewhat well you know you're strong and you're willing to go and I
appreciate that and God but false prophets will say oh don't worry it's all
predetermined folks if I believed it was predetermined I wouldn't be so
serious about winning people to Christ it's not predetermined you know
the Bible says that he's willing that none should perish but that all should
come to repentance so bid them to come in
