1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,140
Christianity did not come to bring laws, what

2
00:00:03,140 --> 00:00:03,860
is right and what is wrong.

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,360
Christianity came to create a new man.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,160
This new man in him develops and grows

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,280
principles that are capable of making that Christian

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,040
family a successful one.

7
00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:26,060
Now why we have to be born into

8
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:26,780
this new man?

9
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:35,700
Because my beloved, any external principles, what do

10
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,600
external principles do to the person?

11
00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:41,800
It conquers the person, they do not create

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,520
a person, it conquers the person.

13
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,380
Principles from outside are heavy, unwanted because they

14
00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:50,240
are imposed upon us.

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,600
Anything that comes from outside, we don't like.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,140
Why?

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,860
Because it is imposed, you have to do

18
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,340
this, you have to follow this rule, you

19
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:05,320
have to go over there, you have to

20
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:05,780
come over here.

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,620
Anything that I have to, I have to,

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,060
I have to, is uncomfortable, I do not

23
00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:10,980
want it, I reject it.

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560
So external principles are laid heavily upon me.

25
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:18,120
They do not create me, they enslave me

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,580
in fact, enslave me, that's the best and

27
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,480
the ultimate they can do.

28
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:25,060
Christianity did not come to impose principles from

29
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:28,540
outside, Christianity came to create a new human

30
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:30,960
being, a new human being.

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,000
This new human produces beautiful behaviors because the

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,780
inside is created, it's not imposed anymore, it's

33
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:43,760
a new creation, it comes from within and

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,940
anything that comes from within is natural, it's

35
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:47,420
not unnatural.

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Anything that comes externally is unnatural, uncomfortable, but

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,840
when it comes from within, it is natural.

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,920
I'll explain it more to you, for you

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,040
to understand where I'm coming from.

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Imagine this with me, you know, especially in

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,800
the Middle Eastern countries, years back, there was

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,540
what they called arranged marriages.

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,940
The parents choose your partner in life, whoa,

44
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:12,860
the poor guy, the first time ever he

45
00:02:12,860 --> 00:02:15,100
would see what kind of a looks his

46
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:17,940
future wife has, is when he's already married,

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,760
tough luck, too late.

48
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,380
He lift up the veil and hope for

49
00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:25,580
the best, if she is Mariah Carey or

50
00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:28,000
some other one, kind of scary.

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,840
Imagine you don't love this person, you don't

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,780
know this person, but mom and dad, especially

53
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:38,020
dad, he will say, you listen to your

54
00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:40,900
dad and you will do accordingly, whatever I

55
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,900
say goes, you will marry this person and

56
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:43,520
tough luck.

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Imagine you are living with someone you do

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,480
not love, how are you going to last?

59
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:51,160
It's hell.

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,820
Why?

61
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Because it was a principle given from outside

62
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
to you, i.e. imposed upon you, weighs

63
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,560
heavily, I can't breathe, I'm imprisoned, I don't

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,320
know what to do anymore.

65
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:08,460
But when you choose your Rosella, Juliet, oh

66
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:12,940
la la, impossible, when you choose, that was

67
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:16,320
in French, when you choose, well I have

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,700
to speak all these channels because I've gotten

69
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:20,600
people from Sweden, I'm getting people from Switzerland,

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,220
I've yet to learn a few words in

71
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:24,580
that language, I have to learn more.

72
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:26,840
So I'm trying my best.

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,660
Habib Albi, that one is easy.

74
00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:33,720
But imagine you choose the person, you fall

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,280
in love with that person, freely, naturally.

76
00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:38,840
You see, it's an internal principle.

77
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,200
It's an internal principle.

78
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560
Internal principle is light.

79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,500
Internal principle is freedom.

80
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:50,060
Internal principle is you, not someone you are

81
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:51,960
pretending to be, which you can never be.

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,260
Why?

83
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Because God never created you to be someone

84
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,040
else but you.

85
00:03:57,580 --> 00:04:01,620
Christianity came to set you free, not impose

86
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,960
upon you laws in order for you to

87
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,740
do him and if you don't, you are

88
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:06,060
doomed.

89
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:06,740
No.

90
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,940
This is why Christianity is based on love

91
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:18,120
and that's why love is associated with a

92
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:18,940
person, not a law.

93
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:21,860
Law doesn't love you.

94
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:23,980
You break the law, the law breaks you.

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,300
But the person that loves you, even if

96
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,600
you break them, they will forgive you because

97
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,060
they love you.

98
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,540
The law has no mercy.

99
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,580
You break me, I'll break you.

100
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,040
Non-negotiable.

101
00:04:38,970 --> 00:04:39,610
But a person, no.

102
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:42,290
This is why Christianity is totally different to

103
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:43,990
every other religion out there with all love

104
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:44,350
and respect.

105
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:50,270
There's no comparison because all, all religions are

106
00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:50,890
to do with laws.

107
00:04:51,730 --> 00:04:56,990
The only faith in existence on earth that

108
00:04:56,990 --> 00:04:57,990
is to do with love is Christianity.

109
00:04:58,110 --> 00:04:58,230
Why?

110
00:04:58,330 --> 00:05:00,490
Because we're dealing with a person and this

111
00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:03,270
person is the new creation, Jesus Christ of

112
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:03,650
Nazareth.

113
00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:06,210
All glory to his holy and mighty name.

114
00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:09,270
You come to love this person and you,

115
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:11,810
when you accept this person, this person is

116
00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:12,570
born in you.

117
00:05:12,810 --> 00:05:16,170
This person comes out of you from inside

118
00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:16,630
outside.

119
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:20,670
The principles grow and are from within.

120
00:05:21,190 --> 00:05:23,390
It is a natural, natural instinct.

121
00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:24,690
It's a natural reaction.

122
00:05:25,070 --> 00:05:27,130
That's why with Jesus there is freedom, with

123
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:29,650
Jesus there is prosperity, with Jesus there is

124
00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:33,250
enlightenment, with Jesus there is everything good that

125
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:34,350
you could ever imagine.

126
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:43,660
This new human produces beautiful behaviors because the

127
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:44,700
inside is created.

128
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:48,700
Created according to God, according to the divine

129
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:49,520
standards.

130
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,300
And what are the divine standards?

131
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,920
St. Paul says it, in true righteousness and

132
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,300
holiness.

133
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
This is the standard of this new creation

134
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,300
that is created by God.

135
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:07,660
This new man has to be walking in

136
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:10,300
the truth and righteousness and holiness.

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,900
The word righteousness, we said it's the work

138
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:18,400
of God.

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,400
But it also mean being in harmony with

140
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,740
God.

141
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Because every time we do the work of

142
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,620
God, we are in harmony with God.

143
00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:30,860
What pleases God, if we do something that

144
00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:32,520
pleases God, we are in harmony.

145
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,500
If we do something that is displeasing to

146
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:38,000
the Lord, there is no harmony.

147
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800
So righteousness is being in harmony with God.

148
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,000
True holiness, holiness is what God desires from

149
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,480
everyone.

150
00:06:56,530 --> 00:06:58,130
With all love and respect to the Dalai

151
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:03,550
Lama, when this person asked this monk, he

152
00:07:03,550 --> 00:07:08,310
said, you left the world and the desires

153
00:07:08,310 --> 00:07:10,490
of the world to achieve the ultimate.

154
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:11,810
And what is the ultimate?

155
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:14,230
Is to kill desire.

156
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:15,690
That's in Buddhism.

157
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:18,050
What is the ultimate is to kill desire.

158
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:18,350
Why?

159
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:20,730
Because according to that faith, and I'm talking

160
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:22,290
with love and respect, I'm just stating facts.

161
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:23,370
Okay, please.

162
00:07:24,670 --> 00:07:25,970
I've had a couple of stabs, so I

163
00:07:25,970 --> 00:07:26,850
can do maybe, I don't know.

164
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:30,450
But anyway, I mean, well, but the ultimate

165
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:31,290
is to kill the desire.

166
00:07:31,290 --> 00:07:33,530
Because in that faith, in that belief, they

167
00:07:33,530 --> 00:07:36,310
think by killing the desire, then and then

168
00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:37,090
only you are free.

169
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:41,110
Because desire apparently, according to that faith, brings

170
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:41,490
you down.

171
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:41,770
Why?

172
00:07:41,930 --> 00:07:45,550
Because desire chains you, locks you, enslaves you.

173
00:07:45,730 --> 00:07:46,750
I have a desire for this.

174
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:47,890
I have a desire for that.

175
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:48,590
I'm not free.

176
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:51,230
Therefore, the moment you kill desire, you are

177
00:07:51,230 --> 00:07:53,030
then free, you become like a God.

178
00:07:54,110 --> 00:07:59,010
Not realizing desire is a God-given gift.

179
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:02,550
You cannot kill what God has given you.

180
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:06,670
So you are chasing something impossible to achieve.

181
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:11,670
Holiness is God's desire.

182
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:15,230
And with that desire, there is no motivation.

183
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:17,870
How are you going to go forward if

184
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:18,530
there's no desire?

185
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:21,910
But the problem is, the problem is not

186
00:08:21,910 --> 00:08:24,390
in desire itself, but in the imbalancing of

187
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:24,870
that desire.

188
00:08:25,070 --> 00:08:26,950
You need to have a balanced desire, you

189
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:28,570
will chase holiness.

190
00:08:29,410 --> 00:08:31,650
Because when you let that new creation grow

191
00:08:31,650 --> 00:08:35,990
in you, He will teach you on how

192
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:38,750
to desire holiness, which God desires.

193
00:08:40,090 --> 00:08:42,210
Righteousness, you are living in harmony with God.

194
00:08:42,510 --> 00:08:45,330
Holiness, you are living and walking in God's

195
00:08:45,330 --> 00:08:45,730
desire.

196
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:48,290
And when God desires something and you do

197
00:08:48,290 --> 00:08:50,890
it, the rest is history.

198
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:54,510
Therefore, it is not the fake holiness.

199
00:08:56,150 --> 00:09:00,290
Fake holiness is a result of submission to

200
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:04,530
external principles, which were imposed on the human

201
00:09:04,530 --> 00:09:05,310
to walk in.

202
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:09,430
Some people fake it to live in holiness.

203
00:09:10,090 --> 00:09:10,770
It's ugly.

204
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:15,050
This is what I call an over-saved

205
00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:15,470
Christian.

206
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:17,770
Have you ever heard of this term, over

207
00:09:17,770 --> 00:09:18,410
-saved Christian?

208
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:20,130
An over-saved Christian is like you're with

209
00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:23,170
them in Maccas, McDonald's.

210
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:25,470
Old McDonald's had a farm.

211
00:09:26,010 --> 00:09:29,170
So imagine you are with that over-saved

212
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:30,170
Christian in Maccas.

213
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:32,330
And then you say, man, I'm hungry.

214
00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:33,810
And he will say to you, this over

215
00:09:33,810 --> 00:09:35,970
-saved person will say, Jesus said, I am

216
00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:37,770
the living bread, which is descended from heaven.

217
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:39,270
He who eats me shall never hunger again.

218
00:09:40,450 --> 00:09:40,730
Okay.

219
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:43,870
Oh, I'm thirsty.

220
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:45,390
Jesus said, I am the living waters.

221
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:46,890
He who drinks me shall never thirst again.

222
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:49,150
All right, bro.

223
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:49,770
What's wrong with you?

224
00:09:51,410 --> 00:09:53,310
Oh, I don't know where the car keys

225
00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:53,490
are.

226
00:09:53,830 --> 00:09:55,810
Jesus said, you need the keys to enter

227
00:09:55,810 --> 00:09:56,290
God's kingdom.

228
00:09:56,350 --> 00:09:57,290
He said, I don't drive a kingdom.

229
00:09:57,410 --> 00:09:58,750
It can't fit in my garage.

230
00:09:58,890 --> 00:09:59,250
Relax.

231
00:09:59,790 --> 00:10:01,070
All I want is just a big Mac

232
00:10:01,070 --> 00:10:02,390
and a big can of Coke.

233
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:08,950
Don't act as if you are holy, faithful

234
00:10:08,950 --> 00:10:09,670
to the Lord.

235
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:11,290
If you're faithful, keep it to yourself.

236
00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:14,110
Keep it secret between you and your sweetheart,

237
00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:15,070
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

238
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:17,170
You don't blow the trumpet and tell the

239
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:18,730
whole world, hey, I'm here.

240
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:19,450
I'm the holy one.

241
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:20,390
Well, you're not.

242
00:10:20,490 --> 00:10:22,810
That's fake holiness.

243
00:10:22,810 --> 00:10:25,990
When you are walking in true holiness, this

244
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:26,810
is God's desire.

245
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:28,850
God works in secret.

246
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:31,650
Not in the open secrets.

247
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:37,430
The new person, the new human created according

248
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:39,950
to God, in whom all divine principles and

249
00:10:39,950 --> 00:10:42,210
standards lie and complete in him.

250
00:10:42,530 --> 00:10:44,750
This person is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
