God The Moral Law-Giver Series

So this leads us to point #1 in your notes and this is gonna go in the opposite of everything you’ve learned in school and everything you learn in your culture today. #1-Universal absolute, absolute moral laws do exist. Ooh. Universal absolute moral laws or moral truths exist.

Now I want to tell you that what I’m gonna say for the next half hour or so is gonna be completely opposite of what you hear all the time and not only am I gonna tell it to you I’m gonna give you proof and evidence that you can go home and, and check it out for yourself that God has provided you cuz remember God has said – The invisible attributes are being clearly seen. God is give you enough evidence to realize whether these things be true or not. Ok? So um universal laws exist.

Now turn to Genesis 2 all the way at the beginning of the bible. Genesis 2. And as you turn, it’s the very first page of the bible. It should be very easy. As you turn there I want to acknowledge the moral code of today of our culture and the moral code of today is we need to be tolerant. How many of you have heard that term before? Ok you need tolerant and some of you say – Well you know I believe in tolerance is good. Now I’m gonna, I’m gonna describe or define tolerance and there’s two definitions I want to use. 1-Is that we want to be respectful of everybody’s right to have an opinion and we should be respectful of people who don’t agree with us without putting them down because they disagree. Fantastic. I think that’s great. And we should do that.

The other part of tolerance which is the other flip side of the is that every truth claim or belief system is equally true. In other words you have a, you, what you believe if it’s true for you it’s true. What I believe is true for me is true and, and I should respect the fact that what you believe is just as true as what I believe. That I would say we’re gonna challenge today. Now I know you hear this everyday and your conflict is if you’re gonna say you walk with God and the world is telling you to be tolerant where every truth is equal you have a problem. The bible’s gonna tell you that every truth is not equal. The bible’s gonna tell you that God has a truth and there’s truth and there are things that people believe that are flat out wrong. And the world’s gonna tell you you’re a bigot if you disagree. You’ve heard that. Can I get an amen? Ok.

So here’s the question. Is this a clock? And by the way it is a clock so. This is a clock. If I said it’s not a clock what would you say? I was right or wrong? Ok you say I’m wrong. This is a TV. If I say it’ not a TV what would you say? Right or wrong? Say it a little louder. Very good. And then is this a couch back there? If I say it’s not a couch am I right or wrong? Ok so by you telling me I’m wrong you are, you are denying me of the right to have an opinion that’s different than yours and you are a bigot. You’re a bigot. Matter of fact you’re a racist. I can call you anything I want because guess what? You, you’re not being tolerant of me right now. I don’t think this is a clock. I believe this is a drum se and I’m gonna hit the drums on top and it’s, and if this is my clock I can do whatever I want and to me it’s not a clock and who are you to tell me, who are you to tell me what that is? Who are you to tell me what I believe?
