yes one of these days all right so yes tonight so let me mention again that I have thirteen pages of notes here these are things and I just wrote yesterday and the Lord spoke to me because I heard my pastor say that five out of six born-again Christians do not have a biblical worldview and when I heard that I thought that's terrible I've done a little bit of research on it and that is actually conservative it's terrible that there's a lot of people who name the name of Christ and yet the Word of God does not control their life or their belief systems and so the Lord laid it on my heart to teach on a biblical worldview so that's what I'm gonna start and talk about tonight but let me say that before we get into it I thought I talked about this in our one of our classes last week and I asked the students especially the Millennials I said what are the things that are important to you what are the issues that are important to you and I would really like you to you know send in a question or a comment and say these are the things that I would like to know what the Bible has to say about that so let me let me just give you the seven things that I've right now just tentatively got it this is probably going to change I'm not obligating myself to this but to have a biblical worldview the first thing I'm going to teach on is the the inspired and accurate Word of God most Christians do not believe that the Bible is actually accurate they might believe it was inspired at one time but it's been translated and we don't have an accurate account and they do not put a lot of authority in the Word of God you cannot have a biblical worldview until you start believing that the Bible is inspired and still accurate even through translations I'm going to start talking about that tonight and I'm going to use some scriptures the next thing I'm going to talk about is creation versus evolution and one of the reasons that I made that the second thing that I believe you have to have a biblical world views and I've got this in my notes if you want to get this I'm probably not going to spend the time on this tonight but I just recently did some study and I found out that Stalin he actually went to evangelical school but he read Darwin's book became an atheist and Stalin said that before you could ever make anybody a good communist you had to eradicate their belief in God and Darwinism was the number one thing that he used same thing with Carl Maher Marx the same thing with Pol Pot the same thing with Hitler all of those people every one of them embraced Darwin in any way I've got a lot of stuff in here about Margaret Sanger the one that started Planned Parenthood and a lot of these things and every one of them Darwin was their inspiration and so what this did me it elevated the belief that you need to believe in a biblical account of creation because life comes from God and if you don't believe that if you think that we just evolved well then that makes it so that you can do what Hitler did do Stalin did and all of these people and so that really was it elevated this to me so that's the second thing I've got the third thing I'm going to talk about is the fallen nature of man and some people may think well why is that important because if you don't understand that like in Genesis chapter 6 where it says that God came down and saw that the imagination of man's heart was only evil continually or Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9 where it says the heart is evil and desperately wicked who can know it if you don't believe that well then what it does it leads you to believe that you can somehow and others solve your own problems and I'll tell you this is one of the things that that is a biblical worldview that man by himself is a mess you know there's scriptures that say though there is a way that seemeth right unto a man the end there how are the ways of death trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding and the Bible is just replete with all of these things about where we need to be God dependent and today you see people that are not God dependent you know one of the scriptures that has really touched me as Jeremiah 10:23 where it says Oh Lord I know that the way of man is not in himself it is not in man that walks to direct his own steps and this belief that somehow or another we are sufficient by our self without God leads to all kinds of things it leads to despotism it leads to pride and arrogance matter of fact the scripture says in Romans 3:20 7 where is boasting it is excluded by law by works nay but by the law of faith it's only when we recognize our need and put faith in a Savior that people actually are humble prideful people are people who do not recognize the Fallen nature of men in our dependency upon God so anyway that's an area I'm gonna deal with and then the sanctity of life which is many things but that could start all the way from abortion you know where we have killed now over 16 million children just in the United States and we have many more children than that that have been aborted worldwide and then it goes I just learned this last week Kerry or maybe two weeks ago that in Colorado they passed a law that you can a physician assisted suicide and they had 700 people last year that were assisted in suicide in Colorado I didn't know that Wow but when you don't value life and you think that it's just ours to take and so I've actually got quotes in here from Stalin from Karl Marx Marx and Hitler and other people that they based it on matter of fact it's Margaret Sanger that started Planned Parenthood one of her goals was to eradicate the african-american population and she said that a Negro was no different than a gorilla or something else and Karl Marx said that it was like breeding animals and anybody who would let a sick animal breed with a good animal should be reprimanded and they felt obligated to kill people and do all of this purging of society because they didn't value the sanctity of life which traces back to they didn't value the Word of God and what it says it's terrible I'm gonna talk about sexuality what is a biblical view on sexuality we got people today that you shack up with each other I've got a statistic that back in 1970 we had 72 percent of the US population that was married now it's our excuse me it was 79 percent now it's 52 percent of the American population as married people are just living together they aren't making a commitment and there's a lot of Christians Christians watching this program right now that you're thinking oh it's not that big of a deal see again that is not a biblical way of looking at things you have let the world influence you and there is a reason that God told us to live in such a way this will also include homosexuality lesbianism transgenderism and things like this we're going to talk about sexuality because God's 1 created sex it was his idea but it needs to be done according to the way he instructed and then these last two things I'm still thinking about all of this but I've got down here a work ethic and what I mean by that is there are people today that you know they just they think that everybody owes them something we have second and third generation welfare recipients and that goes contrary to what the word says second Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 10 that if you don't work you don't eat and there's people today they just honestly think that everybody owes them something and then it's okay you two take welfare and to do all of these things so we're gonna be talking about what the Bible has to say about that and the last thing again these are some of the things I could really use your help on because I know that there's a better way to phrase this but the last thing I've got written down is about love your neighbor as yourself and what I mean by that is there's a lot of Christians today that been lied to that if we really walk in love and that means being passive that means being tolerant that means never saying anything to offend the person and you will hear people bring that up matter of fact I went to England and I held a meeting in Plymouth England and we were renting a public hall there and when the lesbian and gay homosexual community found out about it they petitioned the government and said you should not hold a Christian meeting in a government building and anyway the government sided with me and let us do it but when we got there they were there were people picketing us and the BBC came and I mean stuck a camera right in my face and says you're intolerant the Bible teaches tolerance you aren't doing what the Bible says and I said the bible does not teach tolerance and they just looked at me like what yeah and I said man Jesus made a cat-o'-nine-tails and drove the money changers out of the temple and Jesus said you scribes Pharisees hypocrites he said you go tell Herod that old Fox and they were just dumbfounded and again people think that it to be a Christian just means that you just let people walk all over you now there is a time to be turning another cheek and I'm talking about trying to put all of this into its right perspective but see there's people that don't understand what the Bible has to say about this and Christians have actually been pretty much painted into a corner where if you stand up and say anything they call you a bigot yeah they preach that you're intolerant and yet the most intolerant people on the planet are the people who are preaching that you should be tolerant and they are absolutely intolerant so these are the 7 things that I've identified as things and I'm going to start teaching on a biblical worldview and anyway I could spend the rest of my time talking about how I'm going to use this and how important I think it is but I'm not going to do that but I would like to encourage you that if you would like to add to this or possibly change you know maybe some of these titles word it a little bit differently I could use your help so let me just dive into a couple of scriptures here first of all talking about that to have a biblical worldview you've got to believe in the Bible and there's a tremendous amount of Christian matter of fact I saw a statistic and among born-again Christians there are less people that believe that the Bible is accurate then there are people who believe all of these secular things are accurate there is less trust in the Bible among born-again Christians than there are among other things that are secular that's just terrible so look at this second Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 it says all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works and you know when it says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God that phrase given by inspiration of God was translated from a compound Greek word I'm not gonna try and pronounce this I actually worked on it so that I could pronounce it I just can't do it it's a long one get the notes okay get the notes anything you read that Texas you know our maybe I just can't seem to speak anything but Texas so anyway here it's a compound Greek word and the first one is Theo's and that stands for God and then this other part of the word PEO it's according to the Strong's Concordance it means Theo's means deity especially the supreme deity and the second compound word there it means to breathe hard so here's what it means it literally means God breathed so the scripture here says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God it was God breathed is what it's talking about and this is exactly the way that the amplified the NIV and the message Bible all translated that all scripture is god-breathed so scripture is not a book that men wrote about God now this is important that you get this the Bible is not a book that men wrote about God but it is a book that God inspired men to write it is god-breathed they removed upon by the Holy Spirit here's another verse 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 20 and 21 it says knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man but holy man of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit so this is very clearly stating that God supernaturally moved people to write this this was not it says it wasn't didn't come by the will of men man didn't originate this and here's what W evine says about this greek word that was translated they were moved of God it says this means to bear carry is rendered being moved in 2nd Peter 1:21 signifying that they were born along are impelled by the Holy Spirit's power not acting according to their own wills or simply expressing their own thoughts but expressing the mind of God in words provided and ministered by him mm-hmm that is a commentary note about w/e vines on what that word means so the scripture claims that it is divinely inspired by God and again tonight you know I just don't have the time to be able to go into the depth but when I put out this teaching I'm gonna take scriptures and show you what the scripture says about itself and so you either have to accept that the scripture is divinely inspired by God it was not only inspired but it was kept by God or you're gonna have to reject it but you can't say that it's a good book that just has good things in it because it claims to be divinely inspired and I know that there's people say well I believe that the original was inspired but it's been translated since then and you know what it's polluted in corrupted and there's all kinds of contradictions in the Bible that is not fruit first of all let me just point this out that did you know that Jesus and Paul and Peter and all of the Apostles they did not have the original translations of the Old Testament Scriptures they were using the Septuagint translation and yet they quoted it Jesus and the on the Mount of her on the Mount of temptation he quoted from Old Testament Scriptures three times and it worked and it wasn't the original that he was quoting he was quoting a translation and Paul wrote the book of Galatians and in Galatians chapter 3 verse 16 he says it wasn't seeds plural with an S but it was seed singular and that's what he wrote that whole book around and he was quoting a translation down to the very letter whether it was singular or plural so here's my point if all God did was move on the original people and they were inspired and they communicated correctly but then it was lost in translation it's just the same as if God never did and the translations have been divinely inspired matter of fact I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this but let me just use a couple of things here that out of all of the manuscripts are concerned with the New Testament let's just talk about the New Testament there are twenty four thousand six hundred and thirty three copies of the New Testament that were made in ancient times did you know that the next the next closest ancient manuscript that has been copied is Homer's Iliad and it only has six hundred and forty three copies most copies of things like for instance information about Caesar about Rome and things like that most of those things that we count as history and we accept and we teach in our schools and stuff like that they have probably no more than eight to 20 copies of those things left but when it comes to the scripture there are twenty-four thousand six hundred and thirty three copies and what this means I just read this a few minutes ago and I didn't bring this book in but this means that if you look at things from a mathematical standpoint that the Bible is 99.5 percent guaranteed to be accurate whereas so much of the stuff that we based all of our history upon and all of our knowledge of past history and stuff it is down to just maybe eight copies see if you had two copies of an original manuscript you didn't have the original but if you had two copies and if there was a difference between these two copies then you know what that means you got a 50-50 chance that this is right yeah but you got a 50% chance that it's wrong if you have four copies of something and three of them agreed and one of them was wrong well then you would have a 75% chance that this is good but when you have twenty four thousand six hundred and thirty three copies it means that we and they the difference is among them and stuff it comes out that there are 99.5% guaranteed accuracy here's another thing that I studied and that is that if you didn't even have any copies of the New Testament made did you know that people who have quoted in New Testament Scriptures back in the first century you could constitute all but 11 verses of the entire New Testament by just taking people's quotes all but 11 verses so even if nobody had copied it out we could we could still assemble a New Testament there is no other book in the history of the world that has ever been like this and what it says to anybody who is has an open heart and is open to the truth that this is not just a book this is a divinely inspired book that has not only been communicated and people were you know it was God breathed and they were moved by God but it has been preserved for us and on and on and on and on we could go with this I'm telling you that the Word of God is trustworthy amen you know when I first got turned on to the Lord March the 23rd 1968 man just got on fire I was witnessing to people I was telling them about the Word of God and people criticized me a lot and one of the things they did to see you know you can't take the Bible literally and they begin to criticize me and I remember I don't I don't know all the reasons why this happened but first I just started thinking you know how do I know that the Bible is true I was raised to believe that the Bible was true and I believed it and it inspired me and that was sufficient but when I got really challenged on this I thought how do I know that the Bible is true and for one week I just sat there and thought how do I know that what I'm basing my life on and it was a miserable week it was one of the worst weeks of my life because you know the faith comes by hearing hearing by the Word of God and when you quit believing in the inspiration of the Word of God man your faith just goes down the tubes yeah and even after I'd had this great experience for one week I'd doubted this and anyway a lot of things happen but the thing that pushed me over the edge was prophecy there are 332 prophecies I believe in the Old Testament and just about Jesus that's not prophecies about all the end times and everything that hadn't happened yet but just prophecies about Jesus and I was a math major and I got to look if you just took eight prophecies about Jesus how that they would part his robe they would pierce his hands and feet they would give him gall to drink that he would be born in Bethlehem and if you took just eight prophecies of the three hundred and something the probability of those things happening are 10 to the 17th power that is like 17 with with I mean one with 17 zeros it's impossible anything past the tenth power I think it is is statistically impossible it cannot happen and if you were to look at one person fulfilling all of these prophecies it's 10 to the 150 seventh power it is just completely impossible there is no other religion has anything like this there is nothing that has prophesied things like Josiah was prophesied 210 years before he was born that he would dig up the bones of these prophets and burn them on this altar 210 years before it happened and it even called him by name Cyrus the king of Persia was called by name and on and on and when I looked at prophecy I said man if this isn't God what would be there is no and so that's the thing that pushed me over and I finally just laid that to rest that the Bible is inspired and that is a starting place you can't have a biblical worldview if you doubt the accuracy of the Bible either in the original or that it's been preserved and so anyway I've got a lot more material that was a real quick and run-through but I think this is gonna be good and I would really like to hear what you have to say about this and possibly some of your ideas about things that need to be covered amen so we got questions we do we have some really good questions so again if whatever form that you're asking I've just look in the comment section and go ahead and send us those questions we're gonna get through as many as we can tonight so one of the posts here we have a whole bunch so I want to make sure that I do this the Miller family on chat says this I hear the term biblical worldview used a lot could you define what you mean when you say that a way of looking at things like everybody has a paradigm is a word that's used has a attitude it's like a lens that you look through that you see everything and you know if a person say for instance was sexually abused or just you know something and I had a woman that worked for me that was abused by a previous husband and she was divorced but she had a chip on her shoulder and she looked at the world through that lens and I mean if you came in and said good morning you look nice today she would just blow up like sexual harassment because that was her lens that she looked through and everybody has a way of looking at things and that's what this is talking about you process everything like for instance here's another example an optimist and a pessimist there it's a worldview how do you view the world some people just see the wrong side of my optimism who we were talking before the Bible study tonight about I asked a question in one of my classes and a person just came up and said that the church isn't doing enough and of course the church isn't doing enough the church isn't perfect and man I criticized the church often and yet it's just one of these things that there are people that they are going to find the wrong side of anything and I gave them statistics that just blew them away because if it wasn't for what the church was doing our society would be a thousand times worse but there's people that just see they have this chip on their shoulder and they they're just critical there they're never satisfied with anything yeah we're talking about some of the directors of our schools and they'd just think we don't do enough for them and we do as much as we possibly can but once a person is offended they just see things through that lens yeah another question here it says from Ruthie on chat she says this how do we stand against political correctness also why are so many believers afraid of not of offending non-believers they believe it's all about love we shouldn't judge or stand against their lifestyle again this is a it's an attitude that we've been taught like for instance I was taught to just constantly believe that people were gonna reject me mmm-hmm and it is true that people reject you but not everybody rejects you but I just took it for granted that everybody was gonna reject me I went into things with the fear and that's what caused me to be introverted and I remember one of the things that the Lord spoke to me is when I you know started speaking about the Lord and if somebody came out and said I don't believe it they got to criticizing me instead of me feeling weird they ought to feel weird yeah unbelievers ought to feel weird for promoting killing children and a person can't tell if they're a man or that is just so dumb how dumb can you get and still breathe and see I'll be criticized for that and you know how you deal with political correctness you just get to where you believe the truth and you don't care what people say about you and you are gonna be criticized and stuff and you just go ahead but I can promise you this that there have been a lot of people set free by me speaking the truth there's a lot of people that hate me I got blogs written about me but there's a lot of people set free and you just have to look at the people that are receiving and not the ones that aren't that's right good so Carrie from Facebook Asus does it matter which translation you use you know talking about the Bible and it being the accurate Word of God Jesus doesn't matter what translation you use for example the message is isn't that a paraphrase version versus a translation so is it is it important which one you read that's a good point that see some people think that any translation they call them translations but they just think that they're all equal and they aren't and like the message Bible is not a translation it's a paraphrase which means that a person goes and they may study the original languages and everything like that but then they put it into their own words and let me just give you an example I like the King James and I'm aware that most people don't and so I am NOT a King James only guy if you're gonna read the NIV the American Standard Version or whatever we'll just read it but I like the King James because it's poetical it has a depth to it and a lot of the words are not popular words today and you have to think about it to get the meaning for instance over in Galatians chapter 5 verse 23 well 22 and 23 it says the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness and temperance every modern translation will say self-control instead of temperance and temperance means self-control so it's not wrong I'm not saying that that's a terrible thing but the word temperance if you study it in the Greek see because that's a word that we don't use and if you'll just go look it up and think of it means specifically self-control in food and drink mm-hmm see that's well we don't like that as well I mean that's so like you read it in the NIV if you read it in the amplified and other things you'll see that it says self control and self control isn't wrong but it's like a surface meaning compared to a deeper meaning and because of this I was raised on the King James and I'm sure that that's a part of it but it really does make you have to sit there and sometimes think about it and look upwards I constantly am using a dictionary and I think that that's beneficial because there is most of these modern translations make things put it into the vernacular and make it so simple that it loses some of its substance it just has a surface meaning it doesn't have the deep application so when you're first translating the scriptures into English there's people that died to produce this translation I guarantee you a lot of our translations today nobody's dying to make those translations they aren't as committed to it there's only one other translation besides the King James that even went about it in the same manner because the King James I forgot now how many it was I think it was thirty scholars or something like that and they all went out separate took one verse translated it from the original languages and then came back and compared and if they didn't translate it exactly the same they would go back and continue to do this until they came up with the same thing that's awesome and every other translation except the NIV the NIV is the only other one that's ever done that and all other translations are just in one person going and you have much greater to one person doing it than if you have a collaborative team so anyway I believe that the King James is accurate a hundred percent I really do then some people say but that these and the Dow's thee is you it's not hard and I can translate that it's not a problem you know one of the things we found too is you have went up one person translates the Bible we've gone and search on some of those one people and their worldview and I remember reading this one guy he said that he basically he said you know Paul really didn't understand really what God was saying so I'm gonna go in and hey really explain to you what God meant when Paul wrote it and I was like how do you know that you know so he says you have to look at the worldview of that one person everybody does have a bias and so I'm not saying that that wasn't true but you can see it like for instance the word baptized back during the time that the King James Bible was translated people sprinkled that's the way that they baptized the word baptized if you go back to the Greek word it means to immerse or submerge and they were not willing to say that John was submerging people in the Jordan River because that would have violated their religious tradition and so they created a new word they transliterated it and made a brand new word baptize and so it expresses their a bias they weren't willing to translate it exactly like it says but again they at least had enough integrity that instead of saying sprinkled see like a lot of people would because that was their turn to trade-ins tradition they put in a word that made you think about it and if you go back to their original languages you can see so I think that the King James I really do trust in a hundred percent number one because it's inspired me I believe it's inspired well one of our questions from chat was also is it important that we know that Greek and Hebrew to be able to go back and look at those thing is that is that a necessity a little Greek and a little Hebrew one owns a laundromat and the other one a delicatessen I don't know but you know you don't have to you can go to a concordance and you and the concordance has done all of this for you and I mean people have put huge amounts of effort into it but let me just say that the Scriptures will interpret themselves if you just keep studying yeah yeah for instance you know the scripture says that thou shalt not kill Exodus chapter 20 well does that mean that you can't kill an animal does that mean that you can't have capital punishment does that mean that you couldn't kill a person in self-defense does that mean that you couldn't wage war which there's examples of it and so see that raises a problem and some people then they go to the New Testament where Jesus said you shall do no murder he was quoting from Exodus chapter 20 and I've heard people before say see it really means murder you should kick out that kill that was mistranslated no I believe that what deal is wheat in the English language we don't have as descriptive of a language as Hebrew and Greek and so kill or murder neither one are totally accurate because the English language isn't as descriptive if you would have said you shall not murder well then that would take away capital punishment that would take away you know a lot of things but it would leave negligent homicide in other words a person could go out here a big factory and just dump pollutants in the river and kill people and say well I didn't murder it wasn't malice aforethought let's see when you put them together and recognize that the Bible comments on itself it's it's a combination of these things and you look at other things there's a scripture in Leviticus it says you have to put a railing around your upstairs balcony and if somebody falls off and kills themself and if you didn't have a railing you are responsible you die so it shows you that negligent homicide is also wrong and you combine it all together you don't have to know the Greek in Hebrew if you just keep studying the scripture will explain itself but it helps to look it up amen that's powerful all right so Nicholas from facebook says when you start to teach on biblical worldview are you going to touch on the differences between having a scientific worldview versus a biblical worldview concerning the correct biblical cosmology cosmology means a lot I believe Nicholas the study of the Stars and the whole universe and and all of that well I'm gonna bring in science like for instance I've had dr. Carl Baugh on my program and I've had Grady McMurtry and a lot of other people that have these degrees and stuff and I'm gonna bring those things into bear but honestly if it's not in the Bible don't know a lot about it I have to quote people I'm gonna be quoting josh mcdowell a lot the josh mcdowell was a guy who back i forget the exact time thirty forty years ago he was gonna write a book called evidence it demands a verdict specifically to refute to christianity and to show that it was wrong and when he got to study in it he found out that the evidence proof christianity was right and he got morn again and now he's written this book and i mean it's one of the classics in christianity yeah so i'm not sure exactly what their meaning here but most people see science as fact and the bible as faith I guarantee you it depends what branch of science you're talking about but sometimes just best guess it is a yes matter of fact I just read an article by one of the leading Christian nutritionists and Kenneth Copeland uses him a lot of other people in anyway he was writing this article and he says you know I've told people that eating fat is wrong that you've got to do this and this and this and he says now we've thrown out all of that and fat is good for you that if you don't eat fat that is gonna bacon tonight after Bible study but as he was saying all of this and I thought yeah in twenty years from now they'll be throwing out that research and yet see people think but this is science well it's the current science but it just it's a moving target yeah what the Bible teaches is moderation and and not these extreme diets and things like this and people come along and say well evolution is a proven fact it is not a proven fact the evidence is absolutely against evolution and I know that there's people watching this right now say well that's not true well it again there are people that embrace evolution but it's a belief system it's a religion there are things that disprove evolution by the bunches I had literally seen fossils with human footprints inside of dinosaur prints and I've seen it with my own eyes and according to evolution they were separated by hundreds of millions of years and one of the leading evolutionist in the world said if this could be proven to be true it would completely undo evolution and he just chooses to believe that it was fabricated but I've been there and seen it and I guarantee you people that are into evolution they have to have a faith in it the Bible teaches differently so we're out of time so we're going to get continue to talk about these things and I know different people have asked about a lot of the different stuff you talked about you know as far as sexuality and work ethic and different things like that so again some of these questions is again will be able to come back on Tuesdays and answer some more and let me ask it if you have something that I didn't mention that you think really is something that we need to deal with send that to me yeah and I'll take it into account because I'm this is still under development yeah so again thank you for joining us tonight I believe that this this is gonna be a powerful teaching once I get it all put together and I think we're gonna put out something that'll make a big big difference amen if you've been blessed by tonight as well
