1
00:00:02,350 --> 00:00:06,170
I've come to deal with man's conscience.

2
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:13,340
This is a very wonderful part of the

3
00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:15,340
Bible analysis of man.

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,120
I'm dealing tonight with man's conscience.

5
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:24,020
Now, just to show you the slight difference

6
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:28,340
there is between the different faculties that I've

7
00:00:28,340 --> 00:00:32,240
mentioned, the different abilities that God has given

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,360
to man, let me put it before you

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:34,960
like this.

10
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:44,600
That man's memory is the thought-retaining ability

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,180
that God has given him.

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,200
It's the thought-retaining ability.

13
00:00:51,780 --> 00:01:00,310
Man's imagination is the thought-producing ability.

14
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:04,489
Something that he can sketch out, something that

15
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:06,650
he can picture, something that he can plan.

16
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:11,250
It's the thought-producing ability.

17
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:18,760
Man's understanding is the thought-analyzing ability, where

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160
he can look at a thing and question

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,340
it and measure it and see it and

20
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:24,880
understand it and know it.

21
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,280
That's man's thought-analyzing ability.

22
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,900
Then man's will is the thought-energizing ability.

23
00:01:37,420 --> 00:01:41,580
When memory has taken in everything and imagination

24
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:45,380
has thought it all out and understanding has

25
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:49,220
come to the conclusions, then will steps in

26
00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:50,580
to make the decisions.

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,160
And that's the thought-energizing ability of man.

28
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:03,260
When we come to conscience, that's the thought

29
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:07,180
-convicting ability of man.

30
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:13,850
This wonderful ability that God has given us,

31
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:19,940
it tells us when we're right and when

32
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:20,560
we're wrong.

33
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,290
It's the great ability that God has given

34
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:31,050
to man to differentiate between good and evil.

35
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:35,850
But the trouble with this great faculty is

36
00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:36,310
this.

37
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:44,090
When man fell, this faculty, too, became subject

38
00:02:44,090 --> 00:02:46,570
to delusion by Satan.

39
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:51,030
And this faculty can be a defiant conscience,

40
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:56,270
or a feared conscience, or an evil conscience.

41
00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:59,610
And on the other hand, when God has

42
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:02,290
this faculty in his hands, by the power

43
00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:04,630
of the Holy Ghost, it can become a

44
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:07,250
good conscience and a pure conscience.

45
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:14,130
You see, it's the thought-convicting ability that

46
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:15,330
God gave to man.

47
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:19,610
But when man fell, he became totally depraved.

48
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,820
There's nothing that I'm more sure of than

49
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:25,720
the total depravity of man.

50
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:34,580
Why a natural man tonight, his memory wants

51
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:37,720
to forget the particular kind of man he

52
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,280
is.

53
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,820
This book says, it's like a man looking

54
00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:44,720
in a glass and going away and forgetting

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440
that he's the poor lost sinner on the

56
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,500
road to hell that he is.

57
00:03:52,010 --> 00:03:55,210
And man's imagination, as we saw from the

58
00:03:55,210 --> 00:03:57,290
book, became depraved.

59
00:03:58,050 --> 00:04:00,570
And in the days of Noah, and the

60
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:02,630
last days shall be of the days of

61
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:06,690
Noah, man's imaginations and the thoughts of his

62
00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:09,070
heart were evil, and that continued.

63
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:13,170
His understanding, when he fell, became darkened.

64
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:17,190
His will became his own will.

65
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,890
We have turned everyone to our own way,

66
00:04:20,149 --> 00:04:25,330
and conscience can become defiled and feared and

67
00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:25,750
evil.

68
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:30,020
It's good to look at conscience like this.

69
00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:38,140
Conscience is like the compass that the captain

70
00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:39,920
of the ship may have on the ship.

71
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,860
It will ring true and point the way,

72
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,240
sure enough, but it can do no more.

73
00:04:53,780 --> 00:04:56,380
The pilot on board will set the course

74
00:04:56,380 --> 00:04:57,040
as he wishes.

75
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,540
The compass is there, but the pilot is

76
00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:04,340
in command.

77
00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:09,580
And so tonight we are turning to think

78
00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:14,000
about man's conscience from the word of God.

79
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:17,460
I want to bring it before you in

80
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:18,820
a way that you'll get the hold of

81
00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:19,020
it.

82
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,980
I want to look at conscience working in

83
00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:25,100
the natural man.

84
00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:30,820
Then I want to look at conscience working

85
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:32,260
in the saved man.

86
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,700
Then I want to look at conscience working

87
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:37,000
in the carnal man.

88
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Then I want to look at conscience in

89
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,180
the spiritual man.

90
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:45,610
And so we're turning to look at conscience,

91
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:48,730
first of all, in the natural man, and

92
00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:54,230
I'm calling this the activeness of conscience in

93
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:56,670
the natural man, and I'm reading from Romans

94
00:05:56,670 --> 00:05:57,530
chapter 1.

95
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:03,970
Now, these are Bible readings, and remember, we're

96
00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:06,130
making the Bible do the work all the

97
00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:06,470
time.

98
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,640
You find the place and try to get

99
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,020
the sense from the verses.

100
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:19,280
I'm at Romans chapter 1, and I'm reading

101
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,260
verse 20.

102
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:31,160
For the invisible things of God from

103
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,860
the creation of the world are clearly seen.

104
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,870
That's a wonderful statement, isn't it?

105
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:45,950
That the invisible things are clearly seen.

106
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,310
You see, no man has seen God at

107
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:52,050
any time.

108
00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:57,910
Yet it did say that Moses by faith

109
00:06:57,910 --> 00:06:59,710
saw him who is invisible.

110
00:07:01,730 --> 00:07:04,050
And here we have a tremendous statement that

111
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:09,050
the invisible things of God are clearly seen,

112
00:07:09,170 --> 00:07:10,210
the things you can't see.

113
00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:14,010
And then it goes on to expound that

114
00:07:14,010 --> 00:07:19,330
more clearly, being understood by the things which

115
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:19,970
are made.

116
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:24,710
You see, I still believe that a man's

117
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:29,420
a fool who goes out and looks across

118
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:33,840
the starry heavens this evening and takes in

119
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760
as much as he can understand of the

120
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,280
magnitude and the wonder and the might and

121
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,360
majesty of the work that God has done

122
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,580
in the heavens.

123
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,380
And if man only takes a stand on

124
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:52,780
a sunny afternoon and looks round the broad

125
00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:55,900
echoes of earth and throws his eyes across

126
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:58,440
the miles of earth that he can see

127
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,000
and then remember that there are millions of

128
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,120
miles he can't see.

129
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,360
If that man can't come to an understanding

130
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,580
that there is a God he must be

131
00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:12,120
a fool.

132
00:08:14,650 --> 00:08:17,130
And remember you don't only need to look

133
00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:20,630
at the starry heavens and the broad echoes

134
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:23,710
of earth but if you look at your

135
00:08:23,710 --> 00:08:27,830
own wonderful form we are made, you know,

136
00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:30,930
we were fearfully and wonderfully made.

137
00:08:32,169 --> 00:08:33,909
And if you begin to look at the

138
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:38,049
things which are made you come to the

139
00:08:38,049 --> 00:08:40,750
solid conclusion that there's a great God.

140
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,420
God never left himself without a witness.

141
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:49,280
When man hadn't got the Bible they'd got

142
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,340
the world and their own friends.

143
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,340
And they only need to look and they'll

144
00:08:56,340 --> 00:09:02,000
understand there must be and there is the

145
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,120
almighty maker of heaven and earth in whom

146
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040
we move and live and have our being.

147
00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:15,360
So that God has given us the light

148
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,420
of nature as a witness of his eternal

149
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:26,000
power and Godhead so that mankind is without

150
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,960
excuse.

151
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,060
Then if we run away from chapter one

152
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:32,980
we come down into chapter two.

153
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:41,340
In verse twelve we read these words For

154
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:46,840
as many as have sinned without law shall

155
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,200
also perish without law.

156
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,940
Well that's a tremendous statement when you think

157
00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:55,060
about the heathen.

158
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:00,860
Sometimes we're asked questions about the heathen and

159
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:04,100
where they'll stand on the day of judgment.

160
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,420
Well there'll be no leniency there.

161
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,340
This book before you now says As many

162
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:20,940
as have sinned If the heathen sins without

163
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:23,160
law he shall perish.

164
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,520
The word before you is perish.

165
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,940
The God of high heaven must deal with

166
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:31,340
sin.

167
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,540
Whether he's a heathen doesn't know anything whatsoever.

168
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720
If he sins God will judge him for

169
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,060
sin.

170
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,440
And he'll perish without law.

171
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:50,190
Then it goes on And as many as

172
00:10:50,190 --> 00:10:53,830
have sinned in the law shall be judged

173
00:10:53,830 --> 00:10:54,790
by the law.

174
00:10:55,810 --> 00:10:58,230
You see the Jews were a select people

175
00:10:58,510 --> 00:11:03,710
an illect people and to them alone was

176
00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:04,650
given the law.

177
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:08,530
But they thought they would everything because they

178
00:11:08,530 --> 00:11:09,210
had the law.

179
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:14,520
And you know friends that put them in

180
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,520
their own estimation on a pinnacle.

181
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,560
We've got the law.

182
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,960
The commandments of God were given to us.

183
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000
But the point is this that they never

184
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,100
checked the law.

185
00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:30,480
And as many as have sinned in the

186
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,880
law will be judged by the law.

187
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:37,420
But this sin is the important thing.

188
00:11:38,620 --> 00:11:42,480
If you sin without law or sin with

189
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
law God will judge your sin.

190
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,920
Unless you find a substitute that meets the

191
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800
requirements of God and has counted your sin

192
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
and the only substitute is Christ crucified.

193
00:11:57,580 --> 00:11:59,540
But watch it, it goes further here.

194
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,260
Verse thirteen For not the heroes of the

195
00:12:05,260 --> 00:12:10,520
law are just before God but the doers

196
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,840
of the law shall be justified.

197
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:17,600
There's a tremendous statement isn't it?

198
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:23,400
The doers of the law shall be justified.

199
00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:27,500
But there's another verse in your booklet says

200
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,080
By the deeds of the law shall no

201
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,900
flesh be justified.

202
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,300
How do you reconcile the two?

203
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:41,660
One verse says But the doers of the

204
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:44,540
law shall be justified.

205
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,340
The other verse says But by the deeds

206
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:51,960
of the law shall no flesh be justified.

207
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,660
Friend, we've never met anyone who could keep

208
00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:56,200
the law.

209
00:12:57,780 --> 00:13:01,000
The law didn't come to bring you life.

210
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,820
The law came to condemn you that you

211
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:05,880
might seek a failure.

212
00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:10,580
The law was our schoolmaster to bring us

213
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:11,160
to Christ.

214
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,060
When you put yourself against the Ten Commandments

215
00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:18,900
and read the last one Thou shalt not

216
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:19,280
covet.

217
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,280
Every person in this building is guilty.

218
00:13:27,060 --> 00:13:29,120
Stand guilty before God.

219
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,400
There's no use of you trying to pretend

220
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,860
that you'll do it.

221
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,260
If you could, you would get life, but

222
00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:38,080
you can't.

223
00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:42,080
By the deeds of the law shall no

224
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,780
flesh be justified.

225
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,920
Then it would go on further than that.

226
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,580
It goes into the next verse, verse 14

227
00:13:53,620 --> 00:13:58,640
For when the Gentiles Let's get a hold

228
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,180
of this.

229
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:10,060
These are the unsaved pagans and heathens and

230
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:13,400
all outside of Christ and outside of the

231
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,900
Jewish mission, the Gentiles.

232
00:14:16,340 --> 00:14:18,680
There's somebody in this meeting and you're not

233
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:23,320
a Jew and you're not saved you're a

234
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,860
Gentile.

235
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,600
If you're saved, you're neither Jew nor Gentile,

236
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:29,580
you're in the church.

237
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:34,080
There are three great bodies down here working

238
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,180
this evening the Church of Christ the Jew

239
00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:39,700
the Gentiles.

240
00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:44,860
But the Gentiles, he said which have not

241
00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:49,240
the law not the law do by nature

242
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,300
the things contained in the law.

243
00:14:53,140 --> 00:14:55,560
These having not the law are a law

244
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,460
unto themselves which show the work of the

245
00:15:01,460 --> 00:15:04,400
law written in their hearts.

246
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:07,740
Now I want you to get that because

247
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,480
that's a very important bit.

248
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,860
Which show the work of the law.

249
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,240
Now it doesn't say which show the word

250
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,820
of the law written in their hearts.

251
00:15:19,820 --> 00:15:22,320
You remember God said in the New Covenant

252
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:27,920
I will put my law into their hearts

253
00:15:28,590 --> 00:15:30,520
and their sins and their iniquities I will

254
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,560
remember no more.

255
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,800
That's the new birth.

256
00:15:35,180 --> 00:15:39,240
That's God making a new creation in the

257
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,900
very man who comes to Christ.

258
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,920
But this is altogether different.

259
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,780
This is the work of the law.

260
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:50,680
You know the work of the law is

261
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,220
to bring the wrath of God to your

262
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:55,960
consciousness.

263
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:00,480
To just bring you face to face with

264
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,760
the condemnation that hangs over your head.

265
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,380
And here's what they said now.

266
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,140
Which show the work of the law written

267
00:16:09,140 --> 00:16:15,920
in their hearts their conscience also bearing witness

268
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,680
and their thoughts from meanwhile accusing or else

269
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,120
excusing one another.

270
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Here's the great work of conscience in the

271
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,640
natural mind.

272
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,340
The work of conscience is this.

273
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,020
You see God gives us two witnesses even

274
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:35,860
when we haven't got the Bible.

275
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Even when we have new missionaries.

276
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,280
If you're deep dark down in the jungle

277
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,100
God gives you an outside witness that there

278
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:47,920
is a God.

279
00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:53,620
It's the mighty heavens and the earth and

280
00:16:53,620 --> 00:16:55,040
the things that are made.

281
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,300
That's the outside witness telling you there is

282
00:16:59,300 --> 00:16:59,820
a God.

283
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,180
Ah, but he put a witness inside.

284
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:07,280
There's a conscience that tells you all about

285
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,099
evil too.

286
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,619
So that the natural man by the witness

287
00:17:13,619 --> 00:17:18,760
that's outside and the witness that's inside he

288
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,980
knows both good and evil.

289
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,819
That's exactly what the devil promised to Eve.

290
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,920
Said as soon as you eat this fruit

291
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,260
you'll know good and evil.

292
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:34,300
But if ever he told a lie it

293
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:38,740
was then because half the truth is always

294
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:41,060
the blackest kind of lie.

295
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:43,560
Here's the trouble.

296
00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:49,700
Man knows good that has no power to

297
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:50,220
do it.

298
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:56,200
Man understands evil that has no power to

299
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,000
resist it.

300
00:17:59,060 --> 00:18:00,720
So he knows there is a God.

301
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,040
But he doesn't want to go that way

302
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840
because he's totally depraved.

303
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,840
He knows what evil is and what evil

304
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,380
means because conscience either accuses or excuses.

305
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,880
And he knows all about both good and

306
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,700
evil but has no power to do the

307
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:22,960
good and no power to resist the evil.

308
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,400
So he needs to be born again.

309
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,280
That's the great truth of this book remember

310
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,020
all the time.

311
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:34,460
Everything leads up to that.

312
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:38,900
That he must be born again.

313
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,620
And friends the point with this great subject

314
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:47,880
that we're up to and I said that's

315
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,240
what conscience was meant to do.

316
00:18:53,380 --> 00:18:57,040
But you know this conscience like every other

317
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,160
ability in the natural man can be taken

318
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560
away from the very function and the ability

319
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,340
and the work that it ought to do.

320
00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:07,480
And it begins to do something else.

321
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,380
Now watch me now.

322
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,540
Come to Titus chapter one.

323
00:19:17,220 --> 00:19:21,300
The letter to Titus chapter one.

324
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:43,940
I'm reading at verse fifteen Paul saying to

325
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:49,320
Titus Unto the pure all things are pure.

326
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,980
Well I think that that's a phrase that

327
00:19:54,980 --> 00:20:02,700
has been taken and very devilishly used by

328
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,360
some sects especially in America within the past

329
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:07,820
years.

330
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:12,860
There are certain sects in America and they

331
00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:19,940
believe this that some of the filthy and

332
00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:25,240
abominable and vile and lustful and licentious sins

333
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,760
of this world when those very things are

334
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,920
done with men with a certain kind of

335
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,500
mentality they're alright.

336
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,860
So that's subtle.

337
00:20:38,260 --> 00:20:41,180
They hold their sects as their foundation stone.

338
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,160
Unto the pure all things are pure.

339
00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:49,700
But it doesn't mean any such rubbish as

340
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:49,960
that.

341
00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:54,560
Actually the best translation of the text would

342
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,200
have been this.

343
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,560
The pure delights and pure things.

344
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:07,880
That puts a different face on the subject

345
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,600
altogether.

346
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,120
Why the devil could bluff you that you

347
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:16,620
could do sexual and licentious sins with a

348
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:19,080
particular kind of mind and it's alright.

349
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:22,800
It can never be alright when God says

350
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,800
you're not a doer.

351
00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:28,000
But let's read on.

352
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:30,220
Verse 15.

353
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,380
Unto the pure all things are pure.

354
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:39,780
But unto them that are defiled and unbelieving

355
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:41,320
is nothing pure.

356
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,120
But even their mind and their conscience is

357
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,020
defiled.

358
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,880
Now this wonderful sexuality called conscience has now

359
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,540
come defiled.

360
00:21:58,540 --> 00:22:00,340
Now watch just how far.

361
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Next verse says They profess that they know

362
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:11,650
God but in works they deny him being

363
00:22:11,650 --> 00:22:16,810
abominable and disobedient and unto every good work

364
00:22:16,810 --> 00:22:17,630
reprobate.

365
00:22:18,410 --> 00:22:20,930
Now watch the words in the two verses.

366
00:22:21,890 --> 00:22:24,090
First one I want you to notice is

367
00:22:24,090 --> 00:22:35,290
defiled and then unbelieving then denying God abominable,

368
00:22:35,290 --> 00:22:39,750
disobedient reprobate and yet these are the people

369
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:43,410
who profess that they know God.

370
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:47,490
Do you see where we've got to now?

371
00:22:47,490 --> 00:22:51,370
I've come along from the natural man and

372
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:56,270
his conscience to the pharisaical man with his

373
00:22:56,270 --> 00:22:56,810
conscience.

374
00:22:58,330 --> 00:23:01,550
We saw the activeness of conscience in the

375
00:23:01,550 --> 00:23:05,830
natural man now see the falseness of conscience

376
00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:07,990
in the pharisaical man.

377
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:11,770
Because the Pharisee of old said that you

378
00:23:11,770 --> 00:23:12,870
know I know God.

379
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:15,730
He professed that he knew God.

380
00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:20,130
All the time he was a non-believer.

381
00:23:21,610 --> 00:23:24,150
All the time he was disobedient.

382
00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:29,210
All the time his conscience was defiled.

383
00:23:30,970 --> 00:23:33,470
That's a tremendous state of affairs you know.

384
00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:37,450
You know friend the sooner we get down

385
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,890
to this sort of thing and get it

386
00:23:39,890 --> 00:23:44,490
really brought out in our own lives is

387
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:49,870
this that it's not your lips that counts,

388
00:23:50,010 --> 00:23:50,790
it's your life.

389
00:23:53,150 --> 00:23:56,970
Oh many you know profess that they know

390
00:23:56,970 --> 00:23:57,430
God.

391
00:23:58,490 --> 00:24:01,170
There are thousands in our churches they profess

392
00:24:01,170 --> 00:24:02,830
they know God they don't know God at

393
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:03,970
all.

394
00:24:05,370 --> 00:24:07,230
And yet they deny Him.

395
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:11,840
Then I could go into a lot of

396
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,180
details which show you how abominable they are

397
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:17,480
in the sight of God.

398
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,280
All of them are evil.

399
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:23,680
Yet they can go on when it starts

400
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,420
to take off.

401
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,980
Because their conscience is defiled.

402
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:30,780
It's an awful thing.

403
00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:34,160
You can swing down to church with the

404
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,920
Bible below your arm you hypocrite you.

405
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,160
You don't know the Savior at all.

406
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:43,020
You've denied Him all your life.

407
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:46,180
Unto every good work you are a hypocrite.

408
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,020
You're an unbeliever.

409
00:24:49,540 --> 00:24:50,660
Yet you profess.

410
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:54,800
Why this profession would need a real going

411
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,680
for you know.

412
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:58,920
There are tremendous lot of professions.

413
00:25:00,180 --> 00:25:02,920
Be careful now that you just don't run

414
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,020
on along to the end of the road

415
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,860
and then the door is shut in your

416
00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:09,300
face.

417
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,140
And you knock and you say Lord, Lord

418
00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:14,240
open unto us.

419
00:25:14,820 --> 00:25:17,020
We've eaten and drank in my name.

420
00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:18,220
Listen this one.

421
00:25:18,660 --> 00:25:22,520
In thy name we have cast our devils.

422
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,800
You say that's a tremendous thing to do.

423
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:26,660
So they think.

424
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,380
Jesus said to that very crowd I never

425
00:25:32,380 --> 00:25:33,440
knew you.

426
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:36,920
Of course it will take us all you

427
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,340
know to examine ourselves.

428
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,860
Whether we be in the faith.

429
00:25:44,540 --> 00:25:46,140
It's so easy to profess.

430
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:49,880
And then in works deny God.

431
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,860
And you can go on with this thing

432
00:25:52,860 --> 00:25:58,100
for years because your conscience is defiled.

433
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,100
That's a defiled conscience.

434
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,440
It ought to be telling that hypocrisy is

435
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:04,980
all wrong.

436
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,580
Probably the first day that he played at

437
00:26:07,580 --> 00:26:09,180
this hypocrisy it told him.

438
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:11,720
And the second day it told him again.

439
00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:16,000
But when it goes on for years the

440
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,020
voice is silent.

441
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:19,620
It's defiled.

442
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,120
So be careful.

443
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,420
Your conscience can be defiled.

444
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:26,280
It's not working.

445
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,940
Come with me to John 8.

446
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,320
John's Gospel chapter 8.

447
00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:48,580
This is the story that I've dealt with

448
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,120
more than once from this platform.

449
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,860
Nevertheless there's something that I want to get

450
00:26:55,860 --> 00:26:57,300
the hold of tonight again.

451
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:01,820
Lovely touch when you take the last verse

452
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:05,240
of John 7 and the first verse of

453
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,380
John 8 because in the Greek they should

454
00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:10,960
never have been separated.

455
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:16,040
Whoever crosses the chapter there well, I'm afraid

456
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,400
it's a blunder that even the smallest boy

457
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,020
ought to see.

458
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,500
Verse 53 of chapter 7 And every man

459
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,620
went on to his own house.

460
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:29,020
Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.

461
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:31,680
Our Lord Jesus.

462
00:27:32,980 --> 00:27:34,780
Why they bid him farewell, you know.

463
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,960
They went into their own house.

464
00:27:38,140 --> 00:27:41,820
He climbed the way up the house to

465
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:43,480
pray all night to God.

466
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,360
It's a pity that was ever divided, isn't

467
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:47,980
it?

468
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,340
Verse 2 And early in the morning he

469
00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:51,720
came again into the temple.

470
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,220
And all the people came unto him, and

471
00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:56,880
he sat down and taught them.

472
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:00,320
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him

473
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,700
a woman taken in adultery.

474
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:03,980
And when they had set her in the

475
00:28:03,980 --> 00:28:07,080
midst, they said unto him, Master, this woman

476
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,120
was taken in adultery in the very act.

477
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,380
Now, Moses in the law commanded us that

478
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:17,800
such should be done.

479
00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:21,800
But what they saw, this they said tempting

480
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,180
him that they might have to accuse him.

481
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,440
You see, this is a very subtle thing.

482
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,300
This is the sort of thing that Pharisees

483
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:30,900
would do.

484
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,500
You see, they got this woman taken in

485
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:35,860
the very act of adultery.

486
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,900
And they very rudely and mercilessly drew her

487
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:42,800
into the presence of the Lord and threw

488
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,260
her on the sound of her feet and

489
00:28:44,260 --> 00:28:47,740
said, we took this woman in adultery in

490
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:48,540
the very act.

491
00:28:50,140 --> 00:28:52,320
Moses in the law commanded us that she

492
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,080
should be stoned.

493
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,200
But what they have done.

494
00:28:57,980 --> 00:28:59,880
Now, it was a very subtle one, wasn't

495
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,180
it?

496
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,300
Because if the Lord Jesus said, well, stone

497
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:08,500
her, they'd say, there's your gentle Jesus for

498
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:08,680
you.

499
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:13,120
There's your sympathetic Christ now.

500
00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:16,020
There's the treasure of Atuk now.

501
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,920
And if he said, don't stone her, they'd

502
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,600
say, look, he's saying the opposite to Moses.

503
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,680
It was very subtle.

504
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:30,320
And Pharisees are always subtle.

505
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:34,540
But watch what happens.

506
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,640
Verse 6, this they said, tempting him that

507
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,080
they might have to accuse him.

508
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:50,640
Jesus took down and with his finger wrote

509
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,520
on the ground, as though he heard them

510
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:54,920
not.

511
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,540
Now, the word finger wasn't put in there

512
00:29:58,540 --> 00:29:59,060
for fun.

513
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,780
You see, he took down and with his

514
00:30:03,780 --> 00:30:07,700
finger wrote upon the ground.

515
00:30:11,220 --> 00:30:13,960
Whenever you go back to the old covenant

516
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,400
and see them written in stone, it's said

517
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,440
that they were written by the finger of

518
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:19,760
God.

519
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,520
And Jesus said to the Pharisees one day

520
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,300
that he cast out demons by the finger

521
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:30,000
of God.

522
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,340
Finger of God is usually taken for the

523
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:38,340
mighty power of the Spirit of God.

524
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,540
There have been great arguments about what he

525
00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:43,620
wrote on the ground.

526
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,480
How do you know?

527
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,380
Nobody knows.

528
00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:49,760
Nobody can be sure.

529
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,240
That's one thing that's certain.

530
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,640
And yet there's just a little bit of

531
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,540
light comes in in a moment or two

532
00:30:56,540 --> 00:30:58,980
that would make you think, anyway.

533
00:31:00,340 --> 00:31:01,200
Now watch it.

534
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:05,380
So when they continued asking him, he lifted

535
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:08,420
up himself and said unto them, He that

536
00:31:08,420 --> 00:31:12,040
is without sin among you, let him first

537
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,420
cast the stone at her.

538
00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:16,640
Again he took down and wrote on the

539
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:16,980
ground.

540
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,000
And they which heard it being convicted by

541
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,380
their own conscience.

542
00:31:24,940 --> 00:31:28,660
Oh, this is this defiled conscience being awakened.

543
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,260
This is a Pharisee's conscience.

544
00:31:35,820 --> 00:31:38,540
Mind you, they were Pharisees here that brought

545
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:39,020
the woman.

546
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,520
And they're professing that they love God and

547
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,240
love his word and love the commands of

548
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Moses.

549
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,060
But all the time, you know, there's a

550
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:55,880
conscience that's defiled.

551
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:01,380
Friends, I've pointed out that the woman was

552
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:02,800
taken in the very act.

553
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:05,760
Well, if she was taken in the very

554
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,320
act, the man was taken.

555
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:11,140
Where is the man in this case?

556
00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:14,440
He's not here.

557
00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:18,020
And the law that they referred to, the

558
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:20,840
law of Moses, commanded that both the man

559
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,000
and the woman was told.

560
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,400
Why did they hide the man?

561
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,100
Just because I believe he was a Pharisee.

562
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:38,540
Friends, this is a very subtle thing.

563
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,500
They didn't want to bring this man into

564
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:43,060
the presence of the Lord for he's one

565
00:32:43,060 --> 00:32:43,960
of themselves.

566
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,280
And if I don't know for sure, the

567
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,600
Lord knew for sure.

568
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,900
So he's just stood down and with the

569
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:56,640
finger wrote on the ground.

570
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:00,780
I believe that when the book says they

571
00:33:00,780 --> 00:33:06,120
were convicted by their own conscience that he

572
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,700
must have written the Ten Commandments on the

573
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:09,080
ground.

574
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:13,870
He began to write the commandments.

575
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:17,730
But halfway down, because halfway down are the

576
00:33:17,730 --> 00:33:19,590
commandments that belong Godwards.

577
00:33:20,130 --> 00:33:21,330
Love the Lord thy God.

578
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:24,490
Then he got up and looked at them.

579
00:33:24,490 --> 00:33:26,870
Then got down and wrote the other half.

580
00:33:27,410 --> 00:33:29,370
And they're the commandments that teach us to

581
00:33:29,370 --> 00:33:30,230
love our neighbor.

582
00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:34,910
And you know, friends, when a conscience is

583
00:33:34,910 --> 00:33:38,490
defiled so much that you can hide sin

584
00:33:38,490 --> 00:33:42,370
and try to bring out something that's evil

585
00:33:42,370 --> 00:33:43,050
in the Savior.

586
00:33:44,830 --> 00:33:47,430
You see, now, they're twisting the good that

587
00:33:47,430 --> 00:33:48,890
way and the evil the other way.

588
00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:55,530
When conscience becomes so defiled that you can

589
00:33:55,530 --> 00:33:58,210
do things in the presence of God without

590
00:33:58,210 --> 00:34:03,630
blushing, the only hope for you is if

591
00:34:03,630 --> 00:34:06,690
the Lord puts his finger on you and

592
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:10,630
puts the law up against you and Jesus

593
00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:13,590
Christ looks into your faith and speaks to

594
00:34:13,590 --> 00:34:13,810
you.

595
00:34:14,810 --> 00:34:18,690
You need the Spirit of God, the law

596
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:23,230
of God, the Christ of God to awaken

597
00:34:23,230 --> 00:34:23,929
conscience.

598
00:34:26,050 --> 00:34:28,770
Apart from that, you'll die in your darkness.

599
00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:33,110
Oh, friends, this is tremendous.

600
00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:37,630
That conscience can get upwards bound and get

601
00:34:37,630 --> 00:34:38,230
defiled.

602
00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:41,630
And the only hope for defiled conscience ever

603
00:34:41,630 --> 00:34:46,770
becoming awakened is the finger of God and

604
00:34:46,770 --> 00:34:49,810
the law of God and the Christ of

605
00:34:49,810 --> 00:34:50,210
God.

606
00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:53,570
And if the Spirit of God doesn't lay

607
00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:56,590
hold on you and set you, and the

608
00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:59,090
Word of God doesn't come up against you,

609
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:01,850
and the Christ of God doesn't speak into

610
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:05,910
the innermost depths of your being, you'll die

611
00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:07,450
with your defiled conscience.

612
00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:11,500
But they're awakened now, aren't they?

613
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,560
They start to go out from the eldest

614
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,720
right to the last.

615
00:35:17,940 --> 00:35:21,960
Being convicted by their own conscience, it's God

616
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,900
that has touched the conscience.

617
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:29,620
And unless God touches it, it'll not awaken.

618
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,940
Now, let's go further.

619
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:36,440
We're going to Hebrews chapter 9 now.

620
00:35:37,760 --> 00:36:00,640
The letter to the Hebrews, chapter 9, verse

621
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:01,160
11.

622
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,180
Hebrews 9, verse 11.

623
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:10,900
But Christ, being come an high priest of

624
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:15,320
good things to come, by a greater and

625
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,240
more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that

626
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:23,020
is to say, not of this building, neither

627
00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:28,080
by the blood of goats and cows, but

628
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:33,640
by his own blood, he entered in one

629
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:39,500
sense of the holy place, having obtained eternal

630
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:40,940
redemption for us.

631
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,980
You know, that's one of the greatest verses

632
00:36:43,980 --> 00:36:45,540
on the blood of Christ in your book.

633
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,600
Watch it.

634
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,780
But by his own blood.

635
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,000
Mind you, it was his own blood.

636
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,680
The blood that's in your veins tonight is

637
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,480
not your own.

638
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,180
The blood that's in your veins is your

639
00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:01,480
father's.

640
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,920
Maternity nurses ought to know that the blood

641
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,400
that's in the child's veins is the father's

642
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:09,720
blood.

643
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,400
The mother's blood never mingles for one moment

644
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,340
with the child's blood, or is it the

645
00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:21,260
mother's blood that's ever in its veins?

646
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,520
It's only the father's.

647
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:27,460
You know, there's a great professor here in

648
00:37:27,460 --> 00:37:33,300
Northern Ireland, an obstetric surgeon of the highest

649
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,460
order with all the qualifications that could be

650
00:37:36,460 --> 00:37:36,640
got.

651
00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:38,600
I think perhaps he's rated as the greatest

652
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,040
one.

653
00:37:40,620 --> 00:37:42,520
I mustn't give any names, but I was

654
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,260
riding with him in the car one day,

655
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,480
and I said to him, tell me this,

656
00:37:46,580 --> 00:37:46,720
sir.

657
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:51,520
Is it perfectly true to say that only

658
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,380
the father's blood is in the child's veins?

659
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,500
He said, certainly it is.

660
00:37:57,500 --> 00:38:01,280
Certainly, he said, because by a wonder that

661
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,500
could only come from God, the mother's blood

662
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:06,200
never mingles with the child's.

663
00:38:09,170 --> 00:38:11,150
I said, here's a poser for you.

664
00:38:12,430 --> 00:38:16,250
Jesus Christ was born miraculously of the Virgin

665
00:38:16,250 --> 00:38:19,450
Mary, and had no human father, where did

666
00:38:19,450 --> 00:38:20,230
he get his blood?

667
00:38:23,370 --> 00:38:24,630
He said, I never thought.

668
00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:27,890
I said, I'll tell you.

669
00:38:28,670 --> 00:38:29,810
It's divine!

670
00:38:31,570 --> 00:38:34,370
This book actually says it's the blood of

671
00:38:34,370 --> 00:38:34,970
God!

672
00:38:35,930 --> 00:38:37,370
In Acts chapter 20.

673
00:38:38,430 --> 00:38:39,790
The blood of God.

674
00:38:41,410 --> 00:38:44,770
That's why Christ's blood was precious blood.

675
00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:48,950
Mind you, friends, there was no fallen nature

676
00:38:48,950 --> 00:38:49,810
in that blood.

677
00:38:51,150 --> 00:38:53,550
If I communicate to my boy my nature,

678
00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:55,750
it's a fallen nature, it's a pity of

679
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:56,670
him, he'll need to be saved.

680
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:03,150
Jesus Christ had no fallen nature in his

681
00:39:03,150 --> 00:39:03,350
veins.

682
00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:04,930
It was precious blood.

683
00:39:05,230 --> 00:39:07,070
That's why that book says it's his own

684
00:39:07,070 --> 00:39:07,610
blood.

685
00:39:09,830 --> 00:39:10,350
Precious.

686
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:14,550
And then it says he entered heaven by

687
00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:16,970
his own blood.

688
00:39:16,970 --> 00:39:18,930
That's powerful blood, isn't it?

689
00:39:20,090 --> 00:39:21,710
He could bring him out of the tomb

690
00:39:21,710 --> 00:39:25,950
through the blood of the everlasting covenant he

691
00:39:25,950 --> 00:39:27,130
was raised from the dead.

692
00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:30,210
And by that blood he went into heaven.

693
00:39:30,410 --> 00:39:31,730
It's powerful blood.

694
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,510
Now watch it.

695
00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:40,330
Having obtained eternal redemption for us.

696
00:39:41,050 --> 00:39:42,990
I say that's precious, isn't it?

697
00:39:44,170 --> 00:39:46,030
That's purchasing blood.

698
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:50,270
I would like to ask you folks who

699
00:39:50,270 --> 00:39:52,330
think you can be lost again.

700
00:39:55,310 --> 00:40:00,350
What does it mean when it says Jesus

701
00:40:00,350 --> 00:40:05,750
purchased by his blood eternal redemption for us?

702
00:40:07,110 --> 00:40:08,630
Tell me what it means.

703
00:40:09,150 --> 00:40:10,830
Because I'll tell you what it means.

704
00:40:10,890 --> 00:40:12,590
It means eternal redemption.

705
00:40:15,090 --> 00:40:18,670
Don't ever put a toy on the blood

706
00:40:18,670 --> 00:40:19,230
of Christ.

707
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:22,050
Don't ever dare.

708
00:40:23,850 --> 00:40:26,370
It's an insult to the work of Calvary.

709
00:40:28,010 --> 00:40:31,850
Praise God when my savior died he purchased

710
00:40:31,850 --> 00:40:35,810
eternal redemption for me.

711
00:40:36,050 --> 00:40:37,130
I don't know about you.

712
00:40:38,410 --> 00:40:40,050
Praise God I knew about me.

713
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:46,590
I'm eternally redeemed by precious blood.

714
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:49,310
By precious blood.

715
00:40:51,250 --> 00:40:54,950
So it's powerful blood because it took him

716
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:55,490
into heaven.

717
00:40:56,910 --> 00:40:59,490
It's precious blood because it's his own.

718
00:41:00,570 --> 00:41:03,630
It's purchasing blood because it has obtained eternal

719
00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:04,750
redemption for us.

720
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:06,150
But look at the next verse.

721
00:41:07,390 --> 00:41:10,730
For if the blood of bulls and of

722
00:41:10,730 --> 00:41:15,110
goats and the ashes of an heifer that's

723
00:41:15,110 --> 00:41:19,710
the Old Testament sacrifices of course if those

724
00:41:19,710 --> 00:41:25,410
things sprinkling the unclean folk sanctify us, that

725
00:41:25,410 --> 00:41:29,790
is, set them apart to the purifying of

726
00:41:29,790 --> 00:41:33,210
the flesh if the ashes and the blood

727
00:41:33,210 --> 00:41:36,610
of bulls and goats could sprinkle the unclean

728
00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:38,290
the days of the past and set them

729
00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:41,450
apart and purify them listen to this how

730
00:41:41,450 --> 00:41:45,770
much more shall the blood of Christ who

731
00:41:45,770 --> 00:41:48,590
through the eternal spirit offered himself without thought

732
00:41:48,590 --> 00:41:52,210
to God purge your conscience?

733
00:41:53,950 --> 00:41:55,650
Now that's the bit I like, isn't it?

734
00:41:57,370 --> 00:41:59,210
I tell you friends, you know this is

735
00:41:59,210 --> 00:42:02,870
wonderful because when we started tonight you saw

736
00:42:02,870 --> 00:42:06,830
the optiveness of conscience in the natural man

737
00:42:08,930 --> 00:42:12,450
and then you saw the falseness of conscience

738
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:18,510
in the parasympathetical man and now you're seeing

739
00:42:18,510 --> 00:42:23,350
the pureness of conscience in the saved man.

740
00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:26,930
Once upon a time I had a load

741
00:42:26,930 --> 00:42:30,090
of sin and guilt upon my conscience.

742
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:35,830
Once upon a time I was conscious that

743
00:42:35,830 --> 00:42:38,610
I was getting near to God and unprepared.

744
00:42:39,970 --> 00:42:43,110
Once upon a time I was conscious that

745
00:42:43,110 --> 00:42:47,210
I was a defiled, ruined, guilty rebel but

746
00:42:47,210 --> 00:42:50,530
one day I came to the cross and

747
00:42:50,530 --> 00:42:54,450
accepted the Savior and the blood of the

748
00:42:54,450 --> 00:43:01,610
cross purged my conscience the burden rolled away

749
00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:05,950
gone how did it go?

750
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:12,150
by blood, by the essence by joining the

751
00:43:12,150 --> 00:43:12,550
Baptist?

752
00:43:13,370 --> 00:43:19,630
Never by coming to the cross and accepting

753
00:43:19,630 --> 00:43:26,090
the Savior and praise God his blood cleansed

754
00:43:26,090 --> 00:43:32,370
from all sin conscience purged are you following

755
00:43:32,370 --> 00:43:32,750
me?

756
00:43:33,390 --> 00:43:37,070
I know the well is deep but you're

757
00:43:37,070 --> 00:43:38,750
getting something out of it aren't you?

758
00:43:39,890 --> 00:43:44,870
do you see the natural conscience telling him

759
00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:45,750
I'm right and wrong?

760
00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:50,630
do you see it becoming defiled in the

761
00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:52,750
parasy so that he can profess that he

762
00:43:52,750 --> 00:43:54,210
knows God when all the time he knows

763
00:43:54,210 --> 00:43:54,650
he's a rebel?

764
00:43:56,350 --> 00:43:59,070
do you see the conscience being awakened by

765
00:43:59,070 --> 00:44:00,010
the Spirit of God?

766
00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:05,110
do you see the only remedy for cleansing

767
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:09,950
and purging the conscience of a poor life

768
00:44:09,950 --> 00:44:10,270
sinner?

769
00:44:11,370 --> 00:44:13,250
praise God I love to say it's the

770
00:44:13,250 --> 00:44:19,580
blood of Christ now come on, we've got

771
00:44:19,580 --> 00:44:22,400
a good bit to go yet 1 Timothy

772
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:29,940
chapter 4 now here's a portion I think

773
00:44:29,940 --> 00:44:32,160
that all the younger folks should study very

774
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:44,200
much 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1 now

775
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:50,500
the Spirit speaks expressly that is, the Spirit

776
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:55,620
talks very definitely about this thing the Spirit

777
00:44:55,620 --> 00:44:58,900
always speaks very definitely but this is really

778
00:44:58,900 --> 00:45:05,060
emphasized that in the latter times some shall

779
00:45:05,060 --> 00:45:11,400
depart from the faith 1 Timothy 4 that

780
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,200
in the latter times some shall depart from

781
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,960
the faith that's one of the strains of

782
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,480
the last days now you younger folks coming

783
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,780
up there you should always try to differentiate

784
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:34,060
like this between the faith which is the

785
00:45:34,060 --> 00:45:40,160
truth you believe and the faith which is

786
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,300
the trust you have in the truth you

787
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:48,220
believe you see the faith means the truth

788
00:45:48,220 --> 00:45:51,020
the whole volume of truth that you believe

789
00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:59,180
that's truth the other is trust now in

790
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:02,500
the last days some shall depart from the

791
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:07,200
truth truth the volume of truth, the doctrines

792
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,000
we stand for the fundamentals we call the

793
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,900
essentials and there are quite a number of

794
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:19,660
men in our day departing from the truth

795
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,020
the same that were in the last days

796
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,600
now watch what they do giving heed to

797
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:35,480
seducing spirits and doctrines of devils of course

798
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,360
if you turn from the truth you've got

799
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,040
to turn to the lies there's only the

800
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,600
North and South Pole and everything there's only

801
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,280
right and left all the time there's only

802
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,660
good and evil there's only light and darkness

803
00:46:51,460 --> 00:46:54,920
there are always these extremes and if you

804
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,660
turn from the truth you must turn to

805
00:46:56,660 --> 00:46:59,380
the lies and if you turn from God's

806
00:46:59,380 --> 00:47:01,280
truth you must turn to the devil's lies

807
00:47:02,620 --> 00:47:07,120
and so they turn to seducing spirits and

808
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,760
doctrines of devils now watch this, verse 2

809
00:47:11,940 --> 00:47:16,640
speaking lies in hypocrisy now that word speaking

810
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:21,060
is actually preaching this is not talking in

811
00:47:21,060 --> 00:47:23,600
the sleep here he's talking about he's talking

812
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:33,840
about preachers preachers preaching lies death death

813
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,100
of course when an old fellow gets up

814
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:38,920
and tells you that he can bring a

815
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,420
pig around and sprinkle it with water and

816
00:47:41,420 --> 00:47:44,700
give it a new birth he's a liar

817
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,900
that's all there is about that, that's as

818
00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:51,680
blunt as I can be he's a liar

819
00:47:53,140 --> 00:47:58,270
and a liar going to hell that's what

820
00:47:58,270 --> 00:48:03,630
he is and in these things there are

821
00:48:03,630 --> 00:48:10,470
pictures speaking lies but you know who they're

822
00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:16,310
following don't you the devil they're seduced by

823
00:48:16,310 --> 00:48:24,300
the devil now watch it further having their

824
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:30,260
conscience seared with a hot iron I tell

825
00:48:30,260 --> 00:48:34,260
you that's a tremendous statement isn't it your

826
00:48:34,260 --> 00:48:37,700
conscience branded is the word seared is the

827
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:43,400
same word branded with a hot iron now

828
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,740
wait a minute and I'll bring out the

829
00:48:44,740 --> 00:48:48,920
proof watch the next we did forbidding to

830
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:53,640
marry does that give you any light alright

831
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,940
I'll be gone and commanding to abstain from

832
00:48:58,940 --> 00:49:03,120
meat does that give you any light now

833
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,720
watch this picture first of all he speaks

834
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:10,860
lies and then he's got great authority I

835
00:49:10,860 --> 00:49:12,400
don't know where he got it from only

836
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,400
that the book says it's from the devil

837
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,380
and he can command people not to marry

838
00:49:19,660 --> 00:49:22,160
and then he can also command them not

839
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,760
to eat certain meats it's getting desperately like

840
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,540
the church of Rome isn't it oh I

841
00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:30,740
say some of you are way ahead of

842
00:49:30,740 --> 00:49:40,740
me is that right alright alright alright then

843
00:49:40,740 --> 00:49:43,460
am I right in concluding that behind the

844
00:49:43,460 --> 00:49:45,920
doctrines of the church of Rome stands the

845
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:52,100
devil of course I'm right because there's no

846
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:59,260
other one controlling the damnable heresies that comes

847
00:49:59,260 --> 00:50:07,980
from papish Rome but the devil now how

848
00:50:07,980 --> 00:50:10,200
can these men do this sort of thing

849
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:19,780
just because their conscience is sealed with a

850
00:50:19,780 --> 00:50:24,050
hot iron you know when the devil starts

851
00:50:24,050 --> 00:50:25,550
to deal with your conscience when the lord

852
00:50:25,550 --> 00:50:27,850
starts to deal with your conscience it's awakening

853
00:50:29,330 --> 00:50:31,630
oh but when the devil starts to deal

854
00:50:31,630 --> 00:50:36,340
with your conscience it gets sealed you see

855
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,040
you know I'm hoping to bring to the

856
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,580
church in the not too far distant future

857
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:51,700
a monk who got gloriously saved and there's

858
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:54,000
a great book on the market just now

859
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,980
written by him and it's called the monk

860
00:50:57,980 --> 00:51:03,860
who lived again some of my best friends

861
00:51:03,860 --> 00:51:08,200
know him very well and here's a story

862
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,040
of how he got saved he went into

863
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:17,020
a monastery to become a priest and he

864
00:51:17,020 --> 00:51:19,380
says that very definitely in his early days

865
00:51:19,380 --> 00:51:21,220
as he went into the monastery he wanted

866
00:51:21,220 --> 00:51:25,550
to be a holy man of God and

867
00:51:25,550 --> 00:51:29,650
I believe that that was true he actually

868
00:51:29,650 --> 00:51:31,890
thought by going and burying himself in this

869
00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:34,930
monastery and taking all the teachings from the

870
00:51:34,930 --> 00:51:38,410
old abbot or bishop of the monastery that

871
00:51:38,410 --> 00:51:41,710
he'd become a holy man of God and

872
00:51:41,710 --> 00:51:43,470
he said along with some other young fellows

873
00:51:43,470 --> 00:51:45,530
we were brought up to play in the

874
00:51:45,530 --> 00:51:48,330
evenings and usually we played for three or

875
00:51:48,330 --> 00:51:50,230
four hours that's more than some of the

876
00:51:50,230 --> 00:51:58,010
old bishops do by the way and he

877
00:51:58,010 --> 00:52:01,230
said the old bishop brought us then into

878
00:52:01,230 --> 00:52:05,250
an innermost room in the monastery right before

879
00:52:05,250 --> 00:52:08,530
a very huge statue of the Virgin Mary

880
00:52:10,130 --> 00:52:12,110
and he said we were told that if

881
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:15,170
we could really get through in prayer that

882
00:52:15,170 --> 00:52:17,170
on a certain day at a certain time

883
00:52:17,170 --> 00:52:19,550
the face of Mary would light up to

884
00:52:19,550 --> 00:52:24,200
show that we were accepted and he said

885
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:25,680
of course I went all in for this

886
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,300
then he said I prayed one morning to

887
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:31,120
three o'clock in the morning before this

888
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,200
statue and I was freezing of cold and

889
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,040
I went to my little chair and then

890
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,880
I said well if I tumble into bed

891
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,180
I'll never get through and I got down

892
00:52:42,180 --> 00:52:43,740
on my knees again he said and I

893
00:52:43,740 --> 00:52:46,040
prayed on and prayed on and then he

894
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,900
said I was really freezing and I remembered

895
00:52:48,900 --> 00:52:51,020
that I left my cloak out at the

896
00:52:51,020 --> 00:52:54,560
feet of Mary and about five in the

897
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,420
morning I tripped cold out to get the

898
00:52:57,420 --> 00:53:01,580
cloak and he said I could see the

899
00:53:01,580 --> 00:53:03,780
old bishop with a man up the ladder

900
00:53:03,780 --> 00:53:06,000
and he was getting him to paint the

901
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:14,660
face of Mary with luminous paint that's Rome

902
00:53:14,660 --> 00:53:19,860
for you that's popish pagan Rome for you

903
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,560
no wonder I had no time for it

904
00:53:24,620 --> 00:53:26,420
he said I stood in the shadows and

905
00:53:26,420 --> 00:53:30,800
watched this thing and then he said in

906
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,520
the morning he brought them all into the

907
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,720
inner room and said there, there, there it

908
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:39,350
is Panther and all the boys were excited

909
00:53:39,350 --> 00:53:42,490
he said Panther's got proof then I took

910
00:53:42,490 --> 00:53:44,110
the old bishop aside and said look I

911
00:53:44,110 --> 00:53:47,290
saw you painting this he said have you

912
00:53:47,290 --> 00:53:48,950
utter one word of this and he turned

913
00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:54,520
on me like a devil that man, to

914
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,100
make a long story short, had a good

915
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:58,820
way to go escaped from the monastery and

916
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:01,180
got gloriously saved by the E.U.S

917
00:54:01,180 --> 00:54:06,600
.A. mission of South America I think it

918
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,320
was savage that led him to the Lord

919
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,160
I'm not so sure of that but he

920
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,720
was there at the time how can a

921
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:21,540
bishop go on bluffing the young fellows and

922
00:54:21,540 --> 00:54:23,460
pretending to be Godly how?

923
00:54:23,860 --> 00:54:27,300
I'll tell you how because it's conscience, it's

924
00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:33,200
serious that's how it is that's just how

925
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,680
it is one friend you turn from the

926
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,180
truth and you know it takes something to

927
00:54:40,180 --> 00:54:42,180
bend some of you young fellows to the

928
00:54:42,180 --> 00:54:46,400
truth you don't want the truth sometimes it

929
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:51,500
doesn't suit your particular mould of thoughts if

930
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:53,540
you don't accept the truth you must be

931
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:58,520
looking for the lie and remember if you

932
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,920
get mixed up with the doctrines of demons

933
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,440
it will be a pity on you oh

934
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,620
God save our conscience from ever letting the

935
00:55:08,620 --> 00:55:12,400
devil put a grounding iron on us go

936
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,540
to that book whether it suits you or

937
00:55:14,540 --> 00:55:17,840
whether it doesn't never be afraid of the

938
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:23,400
truth the truth will make you free truth

939
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,600
will bring you near to God now you

940
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,700
can see the hardness of a seduced man

941
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:35,140
the hardness of a conscience of a seduced

942
00:55:35,140 --> 00:55:36,740
man are you following me?

943
00:55:36,980 --> 00:55:41,220
the activeness in the natural man and then

944
00:55:41,220 --> 00:55:45,780
the falseness of conscience in the prosthetical man

945
00:55:45,780 --> 00:55:50,700
and then the pureness of conscience in the

946
00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:55,260
saved man and the hardness of conscience in

947
00:55:55,260 --> 00:55:58,620
the seduced man now here's a one that

948
00:55:58,620 --> 00:56:01,400
we need to watch it's in 1st Timothy

949
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:12,860
1st Corinthians chapter 8 1st Corinthians chapter

950
00:56:12,860 --> 00:56:22,720
8 we

951
00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:24,080
need to read a bit here to get

952
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,880
the sense and I think it's only fair

953
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,600
to do that to this class 1st Corinthians

954
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,900
chapter 8 verse 1 nor are such things

955
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:40,320
offered unto idols you see if you read

956
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,500
the first verse of chapter 7 you'll find

957
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,480
that Paul says now concerning the things whereof

958
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,820
ye root unto me you see they root

959
00:56:50,820 --> 00:56:54,740
to him about several things now this is

960
00:56:54,740 --> 00:56:57,500
one of the things they root about about

961
00:56:57,500 --> 00:57:02,800
things offered unto idols you see they had

962
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,380
a problem then that we haven't now they

963
00:57:06,380 --> 00:57:09,520
were in Corinth and all round them were

964
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,560
idols, pagan idols and into these pagan temples

965
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:19,040
were brought huge portions of meat and this

966
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,660
meat was offered to idols then it was

967
00:57:21,660 --> 00:57:27,500
afterwards sold sometimes Christians bought it and ate

968
00:57:27,500 --> 00:57:30,880
it and in one sense they had every

969
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,960
right to but in another sense we need

970
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,420
to watch it but they were puzzled about

971
00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:39,020
this whether they would eat this meat or

972
00:57:39,020 --> 00:57:42,180
whether they wouldn't and so he says now

973
00:57:42,180 --> 00:57:46,100
as such things offered unto idols we know

974
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:49,880
that we all have knowledge we all of

975
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:54,740
course mean we Christians all have knowledge about

976
00:57:54,740 --> 00:57:57,340
idols is the thing in question of course

977
00:57:57,340 --> 00:57:59,860
doesn't mean we have all knowledge of everything

978
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,740
but we Christians have got to try it

979
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:06,100
we have all knowledge about idols we know

980
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:07,700
that an idol is a stone or a

981
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:10,220
piece of wood that doesn't worry us we've

982
00:58:10,220 --> 00:58:12,840
found a savior and we're liberated from that

983
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,300
we've got knowledge of that we all have

984
00:58:15,300 --> 00:58:19,800
knowledge we all have knowledge here's a wonderful

985
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:28,260
phrase knowledge puffeth up but love edifies you

986
00:58:28,260 --> 00:58:30,420
know that's the thing that all we believers

987
00:58:30,420 --> 00:58:35,390
should get the hold of here tonight to

988
00:58:35,390 --> 00:58:39,090
know that book is a great thing great

989
00:58:39,090 --> 00:58:43,390
thing may I simply say I know the

990
00:58:43,390 --> 00:58:46,370
book to know the book is a great

991
00:58:46,370 --> 00:58:50,790
thing to love your brother is a greater

992
00:58:50,790 --> 00:58:59,330
thing love edifies knowledge will only puff you

993
00:58:59,330 --> 00:59:04,070
up you know remember the greatest thing is

994
00:59:04,070 --> 00:59:08,110
to love your brother and there's a whole

995
00:59:08,110 --> 00:59:10,010
lot of more foreign things than I know

996
00:59:10,930 --> 00:59:13,470
and just because they've got a smattering of

997
00:59:13,470 --> 00:59:17,430
knowledge they wouldn't look at oh no they

998
00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:20,850
knew a door but they love very little

999
00:59:22,890 --> 00:59:26,990
don't you become a Pharisee like them there's

1000
00:59:26,990 --> 00:59:29,590
a whole lot of boys that knew everything

1001
00:59:29,590 --> 00:59:31,170
but they wouldn't speak to you in the

1002
00:59:31,170 --> 00:59:35,150
street you know they wonder whether I'm saved

1003
00:59:35,150 --> 00:59:40,090
or not well let them wonder I'll be

1004
00:59:40,090 --> 00:59:44,470
in heaven through the blood of Christ oh

1005
00:59:44,470 --> 00:59:46,690
friend let's get the hold of it that

1006
00:59:46,690 --> 00:59:52,090
love is the important thing and if we

1007
00:59:52,090 --> 00:59:54,410
loved one another we would be less powerful

1008
00:59:56,590 --> 00:59:58,630
now watch how he works that out because

1009
00:59:58,630 --> 01:00:00,710
he's laid a good foundation to start on

1010
01:00:01,290 --> 01:00:07,270
the apostle was a great preacher but too,

1011
01:00:07,430 --> 01:00:09,190
and if any man thinks that he knew

1012
01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:11,710
of anything he knew of nothing yet as

1013
01:00:11,710 --> 01:00:15,430
he ought to know but if any man

1014
01:00:15,430 --> 01:00:20,050
loved God the same is known of his

1015
01:00:21,290 --> 01:00:23,630
you know I think that's lovely just how

1016
01:00:23,630 --> 01:00:25,730
it's put you think it should have been

1017
01:00:25,730 --> 01:00:28,150
put if any man loved God he knows

1018
01:00:28,150 --> 01:00:30,970
God but it doesn't have to look like

1019
01:00:30,970 --> 01:00:34,690
that if any man loved God God knows

1020
01:00:34,690 --> 01:00:40,390
him I think that's lovely now he begins

1021
01:00:40,390 --> 01:00:43,730
to expound what he's been asked now concerning

1022
01:00:43,730 --> 01:00:46,890
therefore the eating of those things which are

1023
01:00:46,890 --> 01:00:52,630
offered in sacrifice unto idols we know that

1024
01:00:52,630 --> 01:00:56,150
an idol is nothing in the world and

1025
01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:58,850
that there is none other God but one

1026
01:00:59,890 --> 01:01:01,930
now we do know that don't we we

1027
01:01:01,930 --> 01:01:06,250
know there's just one God because he's expressed

1028
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:10,730
in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost but

1029
01:01:10,730 --> 01:01:13,570
we know there's one God for though there

1030
01:01:13,570 --> 01:01:16,710
be that are called God whether in heaven

1031
01:01:16,710 --> 01:01:18,490
or in earth that is things in the

1032
01:01:18,490 --> 01:01:21,570
heavens are sometimes worshipped as is the God's

1033
01:01:21,570 --> 01:01:24,130
many and Lord's many but to us there

1034
01:01:24,130 --> 01:01:27,850
is but one God the Father of whom

1035
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:30,790
are all things and we in him and

1036
01:01:30,790 --> 01:01:34,210
one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all

1037
01:01:34,210 --> 01:01:36,830
things and we in him my can't you

1038
01:01:36,830 --> 01:01:38,990
see the equality of the Father and Son

1039
01:01:38,990 --> 01:01:44,370
here both on the same basis you know

1040
01:01:44,370 --> 01:01:49,110
he does exhort the Father of having all

1041
01:01:49,110 --> 01:01:52,190
things and we in him but he also

1042
01:01:52,190 --> 01:01:55,450
exhorts our Lord Jesus Christ by whom are

1043
01:01:55,450 --> 01:01:58,310
all things and we in him you know

1044
01:01:58,310 --> 01:02:02,010
there are two creations mentioned there by whom

1045
01:02:02,010 --> 01:02:06,470
are all things he made all things and

1046
01:02:06,470 --> 01:02:11,710
he upholds all things but he also created

1047
01:02:11,710 --> 01:02:16,110
us in the new birth we became a

1048
01:02:16,110 --> 01:02:23,170
new creation two creations he made all things

1049
01:02:23,170 --> 01:02:26,930
and praise God he gave us regenerating birth

1050
01:02:27,830 --> 01:02:32,110
now he goes on howbeit there is not

1051
01:02:32,110 --> 01:02:37,710
in every man that knowledge you see he

1052
01:02:37,710 --> 01:02:41,870
is coming away now to every man that

1053
01:02:41,870 --> 01:02:44,830
you know we Christians we know a whole

1054
01:02:44,830 --> 01:02:47,770
lot of things we know certain things about

1055
01:02:47,770 --> 01:02:49,790
idols and we know there is one God

1056
01:02:50,330 --> 01:02:52,710
but howbeit you know every man just doesn't

1057
01:02:52,710 --> 01:02:57,830
know all this watch for some with conscience

1058
01:02:57,830 --> 01:03:01,470
of the idol onto this earth eateth as

1059
01:03:01,470 --> 01:03:04,530
a thing offered unto an idol and their

1060
01:03:04,530 --> 01:03:09,210
conscience being weak is defiled you know that's

1061
01:03:09,210 --> 01:03:11,390
a bit that we want to get the

1062
01:03:11,390 --> 01:03:14,610
hold of before we go much further we'll

1063
01:03:14,610 --> 01:03:15,950
take it that there is just a young

1064
01:03:15,950 --> 01:03:19,050
man from Corinth and he's got gloriously saved

1065
01:03:19,050 --> 01:03:21,650
he's just saved the day or two and

1066
01:03:21,650 --> 01:03:24,810
he's brought out now from the pagan temple

1067
01:03:25,790 --> 01:03:28,090
but you know the moment that this piece

1068
01:03:28,090 --> 01:03:31,290
of meat that was set before the idol

1069
01:03:31,290 --> 01:03:33,050
in the temple is put on the place

1070
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:36,890
you know he becomes conscious of something he's

1071
01:03:36,890 --> 01:03:41,360
got the conscience about it now if he

1072
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,100
would swap a wee bit more and had

1073
01:03:43,100 --> 01:03:45,920
grown a wee bit more he wouldn't have

1074
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,460
any trouble with that conscience but because he's

1075
01:03:50,460 --> 01:03:53,280
on land and on top his conscience is

1076
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,900
weak and he's got a conscience about it

1077
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,520
but you know sitting beside him at the

1078
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,080
table there may be a fellow who knows

1079
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,520
a whole lot he's a great scholar he's

1080
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,380
got out into the clear he knows all

1081
01:04:07,380 --> 01:04:09,740
about idols he's not worried about them now

1082
01:04:10,460 --> 01:04:12,580
and he can eat the meat without any

1083
01:04:12,580 --> 01:04:13,960
trouble should he do it?

1084
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:21,280
now that's the problem that's the problem his

1085
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:25,080
conscience is not troubling him ah but listen

1086
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,920
the teaching in this chapter is that we

1087
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,720
ought to respect the other fellow's conscience and

1088
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:35,600
that's something we very seldom do man we

1089
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,440
just know what we can do we can

1090
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,820
go where we like we can watch what

1091
01:04:42,820 --> 01:04:44,580
we like we'll do what we like but

1092
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:48,900
you never respect the other fellow's conscience now

1093
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:50,860
what do you see the apostle working about?

1094
01:04:53,940 --> 01:04:59,470
verse 9 but take ye less by any

1095
01:04:59,470 --> 01:05:04,010
means this liberty of yours become a stumbling

1096
01:05:04,010 --> 01:05:06,950
block to them that are weak for if

1097
01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:09,750
any man see thee which hath knowledge that

1098
01:05:09,750 --> 01:05:13,190
hath meat in the idol temple shall not

1099
01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:15,350
the conscience of him which is weak be

1100
01:05:15,350 --> 01:05:18,190
emboldened to eat those things which are offered

1101
01:05:18,190 --> 01:05:21,790
to idols and through thy knowledge shall the

1102
01:05:21,790 --> 01:05:26,370
weak brother perish for whom Christ died but

1103
01:05:26,370 --> 01:05:29,490
when ye sin so against their brethren and

1104
01:05:29,490 --> 01:05:33,150
whom their weak conscience ye sin against Christ

1105
01:05:33,850 --> 01:05:38,750
wherefore, here's the conclusion if meat make my

1106
01:05:38,750 --> 01:05:43,870
brother to offend I will eat no flesh

1107
01:05:44,850 --> 01:05:50,190
while the world stands ah there's a great

1108
01:05:50,190 --> 01:05:54,010
principle you know if we Christians carried out

1109
01:05:54,010 --> 01:05:58,230
this principle how we would show our love

1110
01:05:58,830 --> 01:06:01,430
for one another because that's the important thing

1111
01:06:02,390 --> 01:06:06,070
you know Sam, if there's something that I

1112
01:06:06,070 --> 01:06:10,670
know I can do something that I have

1113
01:06:10,670 --> 01:06:14,370
knowledge about something that I know that I'm

1114
01:06:14,370 --> 01:06:18,230
free to do if I feel that it'll

1115
01:06:18,230 --> 01:06:20,610
work that fellow there, I'll not do it

1116
01:06:22,070 --> 01:06:26,130
not because I can't do it but because

1117
01:06:26,130 --> 01:06:31,730
I respect his conscience whatever you tell them

1118
01:06:31,730 --> 01:06:34,610
to do we just trample over the other

1119
01:06:34,610 --> 01:06:37,890
fellow say I know what I'm doing, I

1120
01:06:37,890 --> 01:06:39,670
know what I can't do and you bully

1121
01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:42,070
on your own way but you never respect

1122
01:06:42,070 --> 01:06:46,830
the other fellow's conscience remember there's not only

1123
01:06:46,830 --> 01:06:50,450
an activeness of conscience and the falseness and

1124
01:06:50,450 --> 01:06:52,930
the pureness and the hardness but there's a

1125
01:06:52,930 --> 01:06:55,170
weakness of conscience that you want to watch

1126
01:06:56,890 --> 01:07:00,850
and you can't do as you like not

1127
01:07:00,850 --> 01:07:04,900
if you love your brother oh that's the

1128
01:07:04,900 --> 01:07:07,040
principle thing how Paul jagged that in at

1129
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,860
the beginning he says you know knowledge is

1130
01:07:09,860 --> 01:07:14,280
a great thing boys but love is greater

1131
01:07:16,930 --> 01:07:18,630
I'd love to go round some of the

1132
01:07:18,630 --> 01:07:20,810
assemblies and preach that because they would need

1133
01:07:20,810 --> 01:07:25,010
it because they've gone all out for truth

1134
01:07:26,270 --> 01:07:30,440
if they don't care for the truth we

1135
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,500
would need to learn that all over again

1136
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:39,000
now come with me to the last little

1137
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,660
point that I want to make this evening

1138
01:07:41,940 --> 01:07:53,170
it's in Romans chapter 9 Romans

1139
01:07:53,170 --> 01:08:03,010
chapter 9 and verse 1 Paul

1140
01:08:03,010 --> 01:08:07,870
is speaking he says I say the truth

1141
01:08:07,870 --> 01:08:16,200
in Christ I lie not my conscience also

1142
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,859
bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost that

1143
01:08:18,859 --> 01:08:24,920
I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in

1144
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:29,680
my heart for I could wish that myself

1145
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:35,680
were accursed from Christ for my brethren my

1146
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,640
kinsmen according to the flesh now I'd love

1147
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,500
to be honest in this meeting I wonder

1148
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:45,359
how many of us in this meeting can

1149
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:50,300
actually say this I wonder can you say

1150
01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:55,180
that your conscience bears you witness this evening

1151
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:03,160
that you have continual heaviness and sorrow in

1152
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:09,550
your heart still how many of us just

1153
01:09:09,550 --> 01:09:11,670
how many now be honest I'm not asking

1154
01:09:11,670 --> 01:09:13,210
you for your answer I'm only wanting you

1155
01:09:13,210 --> 01:09:16,109
to look up to God how many of

1156
01:09:16,109 --> 01:09:20,040
us how many of us ever got to

1157
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,760
the place that you could say that I've

1158
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,100
never got to I'm being honest now I'm

1159
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:26,000
not asking you for your answer but I'm

1160
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:31,479
the leader I could wish that I were

1161
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:37,700
accursed from Christ for my brethren my kinsmen

1162
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:41,399
in the flesh did you ever say that

1163
01:09:42,700 --> 01:09:44,939
did you ever say I'm prepared to go

1164
01:09:44,939 --> 01:09:47,340
down into the depths of the caverns of

1165
01:09:47,340 --> 01:09:48,859
the gym of the dumb did you say

1166
01:09:48,859 --> 01:09:53,109
the rest of it say the apostle had

1167
01:09:53,109 --> 01:10:01,510
vision the apostle had a conscience that was

1168
01:10:01,510 --> 01:10:07,790
being absolutely filled with sincerity and earnestness for

1169
01:10:07,790 --> 01:10:17,240
Paul I wish we all had I've shown

1170
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,140
you the activeness of conscience in the natural

1171
01:10:20,140 --> 01:10:25,560
mind I've shown you the falseness of conscience

1172
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,960
in the philosophical mind I've shown you the

1173
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:34,300
pureness of conscience in the saved mind I've

1174
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:37,080
shown you the hardness of conscience in a

1175
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,980
seduced mind I've shown you the weakness of

1176
01:10:40,980 --> 01:10:43,960
conscience in the non-taught mind but I'm

1177
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,980
showing you now the earnestness of conscience in

1178
01:10:46,980 --> 01:10:52,840
a godly mind a man that's really out

1179
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,300
for God and for the glory of God

1180
01:10:56,980 --> 01:11:03,740
he has continual power and heaviness what do

1181
01:11:03,740 --> 01:11:08,400
we do about it how many of us

1182
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,600
share that fear for the feet that jump

1183
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:17,260
to hell that in your home tonight there's

1184
01:11:17,260 --> 01:11:21,380
maybe someone and they're on the brink of

1185
01:11:21,380 --> 01:11:27,960
a Christmas equinox maybe an old mother and

1186
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:32,320
after all she's your mother she loves you

1187
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,720
and she loves you but it should without

1188
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:41,760
Christ's mercy near and fair now that she

1189
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:47,540
had a wonderful life way down yonder in

1190
01:11:47,540 --> 01:11:50,400
Yuknard in a wee house tonight I've got

1191
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:55,490
one brother out of sixteen of them he's

1192
01:11:55,490 --> 01:12:01,370
not changed fifteen of them on the way

1193
01:12:01,370 --> 01:12:05,550
to heaven but there's one more child in

1194
01:12:05,550 --> 01:12:09,730
the forger and I've seen it, many a

1195
01:12:09,730 --> 01:12:12,450
time I go in the car and drive

1196
01:12:12,450 --> 01:12:15,730
around the argument street in Yuknard for one

1197
01:12:15,730 --> 01:12:18,570
purpose only let the last one go in

1198
01:12:18,570 --> 01:12:21,550

God every night when I get down on

1200
01:12:25,250 --> 01:12:26,690
my knees and say Lord if you come

1204
01:12:44,370 --> 01:12:51,110
a soul might sustain oh God so many

1205
01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:56,230
of us are prepared for nothing we just

1206
01:12:56,230 --> 01:13:00,990
let them go to hell above everything I

1207
01:13:00,990 --> 01:13:03,910
pray that God will give me a conscience

1208
01:13:05,310 --> 01:13:09,630
that will make me conscious of man and

1209
01:13:09,630 --> 01:13:14,390

the cross but you might be saved oh

that you would turn and seek the Lord

1220
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,600

can set us free forbid Lord that we

1227
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,260
should ever get mixed up with the doctrines

1228
01:14:43,260 --> 01:14:47,960
of demons or be in any way seduced

01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:52,260
by the devil forbid Lord that we should

1239
01:15:37,580 --> 01:15:42,760
moment of every day in our waken hours

1240
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,980
