Transcript:
00:00:02 hello brothers and sisters this is uh
00:00:05 Eternal is Torah back for a second
00:00:08 episode in this episode we will be
00:00:10 discussing who is Yahweh and why that is
00:00:12 important to
00:00:14 know um any thoughts before we really
00:00:17 jump into the lectures on faith Ben well
00:00:19 the uh just to tell you a little bit
00:00:22 about the lectures on faith these were
00:00:25 lectures that were authored uh primarily
00:00:28 by Joseph Smith but there were some
00:00:30 other people who were involved and um
00:00:34 it’s a it’s a compilation of B of
00:00:37 completely biblical teachings that uh
00:00:40 are related to how we develop faith in
00:00:44 God um and what we’re going to be
00:00:47 talking about tonight is why it’s
00:00:48 important to uh to have that
00:00:58 Faith so
00:01:00 in order to talk about this we’re going
00:01:02 to be we’re going to be uh re basically
00:01:05 are going to be reading from the third
00:01:08 lecture on faith uh starting in verse 19
00:01:11 because this is this is what we’re
00:01:13 talking about is why it is important
00:01:15 that we understand the character and
00:01:20 Perfections of yah you want me to go
00:01:23 ahead and read and you interrupt me
00:01:26 and we or we can I say we I think we
00:01:30 should probably alternate verses okay
00:01:33 that’ll probably work better so
00:01:36 um an acquaintance with these attributes
00:01:40 and the Divine character is essentially
00:01:43 necessary this is verse 19 of of um the
00:01:47 third lecture on faith in order that the
00:01:50 faith of any rational being can Center
00:01:53 on him for life in Salvation for if he
00:01:55 did not in the first instance believe
00:01:57 him to be God that is the Creator and
00:02:00 upholder of all things he could not
00:02:03 Center his faith in him for life and
00:02:05 salvation for fear there should be a
00:02:08 greater than he who would thwart all his
00:02:10 plans and he like the gods of the
00:02:12 Heathen would be unable to fulfill his
00:02:15 promises but seeing he is God over all
00:02:18 from Everlasting to Everlasting the
00:02:20 Creator and upholder of All Things No
00:02:24 Such fear can exist in the minds of
00:02:26 those who put their trust in him so that
00:02:28 in this respect their faith can be
00:02:31 without wavering man it is so essential
00:02:34 to have that trust that that trust in uh
00:02:41 Yahweh uh to be able
00:02:46 to have the faith necessary to repent to
00:02:50 come unto Yahweh to follow in his path
00:02:53 well yeah it’s absolutely essential to
00:02:55 know that he is God yeah that he is the
00:02:59 creator and upholder of all
00:03:01 things that there is none greater for if
00:03:05 you believe that there’s greater than
00:03:07 God
00:03:10 well okay I mean you can believe what
00:03:13 you like but um good luck with that
00:03:21 Absolutely I’ll pick us up in verse 20
00:03:25 but secondly unless he was merciful and
00:03:28 gracious slow to anger longsuffering and
00:03:31 full of goodness these are
00:03:33 attributes that Christ
00:03:35 has um such is the weakness of human
00:03:39 nature and so great the frailties and
00:03:42 Imperfections of men that unless they
00:03:45 believe that these excellencies existed
00:03:47 in the Divine character the faith
00:03:49 necessary to Salvation could not exist
00:03:53 for doubt would take the place of faith
00:03:55 and those who know their weaknesses and
00:03:57 liability to sin would be in constant
00:04:00 doubt of Salvation if it were not for
00:04:04 the idea which they have of the
00:04:06 Excellency of the character of God that
00:04:09 he is slow to anger and longsuffering
00:04:12 and of a forgiving disposition and does
00:04:15 forgive iniquity transgression and sin
00:04:19 an idea of these facts does away doubt
00:04:22 and makes Faith exceedingly strong now
00:04:25 the I I think that it’s important to
00:04:28 note that um these um these attributes
00:04:34 mercifully merciful gracious slow to
00:04:37 anger longsuffering and full of
00:04:40 goodness are
00:04:42 those those are actually available to
00:04:45 everyone but they’re more specifically
00:04:48 but they’re but they’re poured out in
00:04:50 Greater measure upon his people and how
00:04:54 do we know that we’re his people because
00:04:55 we’re keeping his
00:04:57 ways um
00:05:01 so the
00:05:03 um the point but I do like how it points
00:05:06 out
00:05:08 here we’re weak yeah we’re weak we
00:05:14 struggle to um we struggle to
00:05:19 obey but yah forgives
00:05:23 us if we
00:05:26 repent yeah it’s just a simple matter of
00:05:31 repenting
00:05:33 and
00:05:35 stopping it’s a simple matter of
00:05:37 repenting and recommitting
00:05:40 yourself in love to Y
00:05:45 Yeshua uh so that they so that they can
00:05:49 remake so that they can remake your
00:05:51 character in their image they don’t
00:05:55 provide
00:05:57 um if you don’t wish to become as if you
00:06:01 don’t wish to become like
00:06:05 them
00:06:10 um eventually they’re going to stop
00:06:12 winking at your
00:06:15 transgressions
00:06:17 well if you don’t if you don’t wish to
00:06:19 become like God eventually he’s going to
00:06:21 stop winking at your transgressions but
00:06:23 he is he is very slow to anger he is
00:06:28 longsuffering kind of a forgiving
00:06:31 disposition it took
00:06:34 him two
00:06:37 Millennia to decide that the Canaanites
00:06:40 were done yeah well I mean and I’m
00:06:44 grateful that you brought up the
00:06:45 Canaanites more over the
00:06:48 amorites uh because when he gives the
00:06:53 promise of the Covenant to Our Father
00:06:55 Abraham which we will cover in a future
00:06:58 um a future uh Post in a future
00:07:03 video
00:07:06 um the amorites at the point that he
00:07:09 makes a covenant with Abraham had not
00:07:12 ripened in
00:07:14 iniquity in full yet so in other words
00:07:19 it remind when I read he that uh closer
00:07:22 to the bottom here that he is slow to
00:07:24 anger and longsuffering and of a
00:07:26 forgiving disposition he was still
00:07:31 holding out
00:07:32 forgiveness or he was still trying to
00:07:35 give forgiveness or the opportunity for
00:07:39 forgiveness to the children of the
00:07:42 amorites if they would but
00:07:44 repent and stop their iniquity
00:07:48 transgression and sin against his law
00:07:51 now I would like to point out that this
00:07:53 iniquity transgression by enumer all
00:07:57 he’s doing by enumerating iniquity
00:07:59 transgression and sin he’s not
00:08:01 indicating in any way that the three are
00:08:04 different right he’s
00:08:07 just he’s reiterating it in every way
00:08:10 that you can understand it that God
00:08:12 forgives yes all right verse
00:08:17 21 okay so here so moving on to verse 21
00:08:22 um but it is equally as necessary that
00:08:25 men should have the idea that he is a
00:08:27 God who changes not in order to have
00:08:30 faith in him that he is a God who
00:08:32 changes not in order to have faith in
00:08:35 him as it is to have the ideality is
00:08:37 gracious and longsuffering for without
00:08:40 the idea of unchangeableness in the
00:08:42 character of deity doubt would take the
00:08:44 place of Faith but with the idea that he
00:08:47 changes not Faith lays hold upon the
00:08:49 excellencies in his character with
00:08:51 unshaken confidence believing he is the
00:08:54 same yesterday today and forever and
00:08:57 that his course is one Eternal round so
00:09:01 basically like so for example let’s say
00:09:05 we have a contract that unshaken
00:09:08 confidence right this idea building on
00:09:10 the idea of unshaken
00:09:12 confidence uh due to the fact that he
00:09:15 changes not uh if he changes you can
00:09:19 there’s no way that you can be confident
00:09:22 in what he says his way
00:09:26 is yes you can receive
00:09:30 Revelation but that’s not the same as
00:09:34 hitting your knees to receive your own
00:09:36 personalized set of instructions and
00:09:39 Commandments God already gave you
00:09:42 instructions and
00:09:44 Commandments that’s why that is partly
00:09:48 why he is the same and I I I just want
00:09:52 to add on top of that because that was
00:09:55 that was a very excellent point but I
00:09:57 want to add to that that the
00:09:59 Commandments that he gives us are a
00:10:01 revelation of his unchanging character
00:10:06 and
00:10:07 therefore they will not
00:10:12 change will there you know can there be
00:10:16 a change
00:10:18 um if things are if he adds if he adds
00:10:24 Commandments as punishments can he Abol
00:10:27 can he take away those added punishments
00:10:32 absolutely but the basic Commandments
00:10:35 the basic laws do not change the
00:10:40 punishments are his punishments are not
00:10:43 Eternal but his laws and his character
00:10:47 and his
00:10:48 excellencies do not change and that is
00:10:52 why he can say without any shadow of a
00:10:56 doubt on his side that his course is
00:11:00 truly one Eternal round plus here’s
00:11:03 another thing about the unchanging
00:11:05 nature of
00:11:08 God since the law is a revelation of
00:11:11 God’s character and of God’s mind and
00:11:15 will if the
00:11:17 law
00:11:19 um well I mean it’s absolutely
00:11:22 impossible for the law to change but
00:11:29 when you realize that his course is that
00:11:32 he is the same yesterday today and
00:11:33 forever with the law being the
00:11:35 revelation of his character that his
00:11:37 course is one Eternal round there
00:11:40 is no variance there is no turning to
00:11:45 the right or left and you can have
00:11:47 unshaken confidence now if that law were
00:11:49 to change now he’s an unjust
00:11:52 God right or if he were to give personal
00:11:56 laws for everyone now he’s a respector
00:11:58 of persons
00:12:01 so and we cannot these are things that
00:12:03 we’re going to these are things that
00:12:04 we’re going to talk these are um future
00:12:07 characterist no these are
00:12:08 characteristics we’re going to talk
00:12:10 about later on well later on here yeah
00:12:12 yeah you’re right but I’m talking about
00:12:15 we’ll have more videos on the
00:12:18 unchangeable character of God as well so
00:12:21 here we go verse 22 and and again the
00:12:25 idea that he is a god of Truth and
00:12:28 cannot lie uh I hear uh the book of
00:12:31 ether chapter uh do believe it’s chapter
00:12:34 4 with the brother of Jared on the
00:12:37 mountain speaking with God and also
00:12:42 Nephi and Elma all of these people bear
00:12:46 witness that God is a god of Truth and
00:12:49 cannot lie is equally as necessary to
00:12:51 exercise faith in him as the idea of his
00:12:54 unchangeableness for without the idea
00:12:57 that he was a god of Truth and couldn’t
00:12:59 not lie the confidence necessary to be
00:13:02 placed in his word in order to the
00:13:04 exercise of faith in him could not exist
00:13:09 but having the idea that he is not man
00:13:13 that he can lie it gives power to the
00:13:16 minds of men to
00:13:18 exercise faith in
00:13:21 him
00:13:23 so if God makes a if God makes a
00:13:27 covenant this is the this this is the
00:13:29 real deal here if God makes a covenant
00:13:31 he keeps it man may break the Covenant
00:13:35 but God keeps his covenants and
00:13:38 therefore
00:13:40 Israel
00:13:43 remains his
00:13:46 people yeah I mean it so for example
00:13:50 saying that if God was a man we all of
00:13:55 us men in this existence we all lie to
00:14:01 one degree or another we all
00:14:04 lie but he’s not a man he is God and he
00:14:09 is a god of Truth and he cannot lie his
00:14:12 promises are
00:14:13 sure but you know but the interesting
00:14:16 thing is is that this is where this
00:14:20 is these
00:14:23 characteristics are what we should be
00:14:25 aiming for ourselves yeah absolutely
00:14:27 that our character is not changeable In
00:14:30 The
00:14:30 Wind that our uh that we do not lie that
00:14:35 we do not
00:14:37 purposefully that we do not purposefully
00:14:40 that we don’t purposefully mislead
00:14:41 people to their destruction right we do
00:14:46 not these are the kinds of things that
00:14:48 we um now the thing about God is that he
00:14:52 can’t even inadvertently do that
00:14:56 yeah he can’t even do that by accident
00:15:01 that’s something that um that’s
00:15:03 something that no man can really say
00:15:07 that
00:15:08 they will not by accident say something
00:15:12 false
00:15:15 yeah all right verse
00:15:18 23 but it is also necessary that men
00:15:21 should have an idea that he is no
00:15:23 respector of persons for with the idea
00:15:26 of all the other excellencies in his
00:15:28 character this one
00:15:30 wanting men could not exercise faith in
00:15:34 him because if he were a respector of
00:15:36 persons they could not tell what their
00:15:38 privileges were nor how far they were
00:15:41 authorized to exercise faith in him or
00:15:43 whether they were authorized to do it at
00:15:45 all but all must be confusion but no
00:15:48 sooner are the minds of men made
00:15:49 acquainted with the truth of this point
00:15:51 that he is no respector of persons then
00:15:54 they see that they have authority by
00:15:56 faith to lay hold on eternal life the
00:15:58 richest Boon of Heaven because God is no
00:16:01 respector of persons and that every man
00:16:03 in every nation has an equal privilege
00:16:06 see this is the point of no respector of
00:16:08 persons this is why he doesn’t make
00:16:10 personal laws for everybody it’s the
00:16:13 same for Israel as for the Foreigner
00:16:15 within her Gates um this is also
00:16:21 why
00:16:26 uh this is also why he doesn’t have a
00:16:29 new law per Covenant yeah because if he
00:16:33 had a new law per Covenant he would also
00:16:35 be a respector of
00:16:37 persons so if he just because he makes a
00:16:40 New Covenant doesn’t mean the law of
00:16:42 that Covenant has
00:16:44 changed it’s just a New Covenant and the
00:16:48 covenants don’t change either the nature
00:16:51 of the covenants don’t change what is
00:16:53 required of us doesn’t
00:16:55 change what he and what he gives
00:16:59 doesn’t change if what he gives to those
00:17:02 who meet the requirements doesn’t
00:17:04 change
00:17:06 um
00:17:11 now this the the uh the thing that we
00:17:15 the
00:17:17 thing the major push back that some
00:17:20 people will have against this idea is
00:17:22 well he does favor those who are
00:17:23 righteous but that’s because they made
00:17:25 righteous choices it’s not because he
00:17:27 looks at them and goes oh yeah you’re
00:17:29 nice no yeah exactly so this is what I
00:17:32 would encourage I like this one and I
00:17:34 don’t like that one ET this is because
00:17:37 that’s actually getting into the idea of
00:17:38 Eternal election which by the way is
00:17:42 would make God a respector of persons
00:17:44 and God is not a respector of persons he
00:17:46 says this multiple times in the
00:17:49 Bible right get that get a hold of that
00:17:52 Calvinists so uh so what I would also
00:17:56 say too is
00:18:00 learn the law go
00:18:03 to the the Torah the first five books of
00:18:07 Moses the teachings of the
00:18:10 prophets these this is where the law is
00:18:14 contained if you want to know what your
00:18:17 rights are and how you can have equal
00:18:22 privilege before
00:18:25 God then take hold
00:18:29 of his renewed or sometimes in scripture
00:18:34 when they use the word New Covenant they
00:18:36 actually mean he actually means
00:18:40 renewed right you don’t build a brand
00:18:44 new house only to leave it you don’t
00:18:47 fulfill a house only to live only to
00:18:52 leave it it’s the same concept yeah I
00:18:55 believe the analogy is going for is you
00:18:57 don’t build your dream house justes to
00:19:00 Desert it right um and that’s and that’s
00:19:04 that’s exactly where I’m going with this
00:19:06 and you just I I offer this invitation
00:19:10 to you guys to go ahead and start
00:19:14 reading your the first the Torah which
00:19:17 is the first five books of Moses plus
00:19:21 the teachings of the prophets in your
00:19:24 Old Testament this is where you can find
00:19:27 the law that God
00:19:30 has in store for all men and spec
00:19:35 speaking specifically the restoration
00:19:37 Branch to the people in the restoration
00:19:41 branches the um doctrine of covenants
00:19:44 59 verse
00:19:47 22 the Lord ywa tells us very
00:19:55 specifically what the Commandments are
00:19:57 that we are to keep if we are not to
00:19:59 offend him what he says is that this is
00:20:02 according to the law and the
00:20:05 prophets and just because you don’t
00:20:08 understand the Hebrew idiom being used
00:20:10 there doesn’t mean that it’s not in use
00:20:12 there and that mean and that means when
00:20:15 when yah says according to the law and
00:20:18 the prophets he’s saying it’s according
00:20:19 to the Old Testament yeah the law of the
00:20:24 Gospel is the same law that is revealed
00:20:27 in the old test Testament it didn’t
00:20:30 change with it it didn’t change just
00:20:33 because it didn’t change because Yeshua
00:20:35 was crucified what changed because
00:20:38 Yeshua was crucified was that the
00:20:41 punishments were paid and I am going to
00:20:44 say this there is that part uh for if uh
00:20:48 he was a respector of persons at the end
00:20:51 in the middle here but all must be
00:20:53 confusion authorized to do it all or
00:20:55 whether they were authorized to do it at
00:20:57 all but all must be confusion the reason
00:20:59 it’s all going to be confusion or all
00:21:03 must be confusion is because you are not
00:21:07 centered in his Rock which is his gospel
00:21:11 by the way I should just like to point
00:21:14 out that the fact that all is confusion
00:21:18 in the body of Christ is the res is the
00:21:22 result
00:21:23 that Christians teach that God and teach
00:21:29 God who is a respector of persons just
00:21:32 like this just like this lesson points
00:21:36 out yes
00:21:39 okay and lastly but not less important
00:21:42 to the exercise of faith in God is the
00:21:45 idea that he is love for with all the
00:21:49 other excellencies in his character
00:21:51 without this one to influence them they
00:21:53 could not have such powerful dominion
00:21:55 over the minds of men but when the idea
00:21:58 is is planted in the mind that he is
00:22:00 love who cannot see the just ground that
00:22:04 men of every nation Kindred and tongue
00:22:06 have to exercise faith in God so as to
00:22:09 obtain eternal life and so this is this
00:22:12 is going back to John uh God is love um
00:22:18 wherefore if you know God love your
00:22:21 fellow men so this is so this is what we
00:22:25 uh so this is the this is the idea of be
00:22:28 behind this is that um now the thing is
00:22:32 is God is
00:22:35 love is you know God is love is a
00:22:39 wonderful principle but it’s not the
00:22:42 feel-good principle that we make
00:22:44 it so it’s not he’s not God and his love
00:22:49 is not always going to um is not always
00:22:53 going to tell us things that we want to
00:22:54 hear for instance I love my children
00:22:58 but if they’re behaving like uh but if
00:23:01 they’re behaving poorly I’m not going to
00:23:04 tell them how wonderful they
00:23:07 are and so this is the thing that we
00:23:11 this is the thing that you have this is
00:23:13 the thing that you have to bear in mind
00:23:15 about God is
00:23:19 love the other thing you have to bear in
00:23:21 mind
00:23:22 is the the uh loving your
00:23:26 neighbor doesn’t mean accepting
00:23:29 everything he does if your neighbor is
00:23:31 in sin and you do not warn him of his
00:23:34 sin and of the potential consequences of
00:23:36 it you do not love your neighbor you
00:23:37 hate your neighbor because you’re uh
00:23:41 ensuring that he goes to
00:23:44 hell so
00:23:47 uh I think a lot of people have the
00:23:51 wrong idea about what love is and while
00:23:54 love is
00:23:55 wonderful and love is kind
00:24:00 kindness isn’t always
00:24:02 niceness
00:24:08 no all right you ready for
00:24:11 25 from the above description of the
00:24:13 character of deity which is given him in
00:24:15 the revelations to men there is a sure
00:24:17 foundation for the exercise of faith in
00:24:19 him among every people nation and
00:24:22 Kindred from age to age from generation
00:24:24 to generation amen and amen amen now one
00:24:28 thing that I do want to remind everyone
00:24:33 of even with the idea of Charity and our
00:24:38 understanding especially in a
00:24:40 restoration
00:24:41 sense uh our understanding that charity
00:24:45 is the Pure Love Of
00:24:47 Christ as in we’re saying that it’s the
00:24:51 love that Christ has for us let me tell
00:24:54 you something think about the phrase it
00:24:57 is the pure love Love Of Christ pure
00:25:00 love when you have a love of something
00:25:05 that means that you are
00:25:11 exercising
00:25:13 that that exercise that John wrote in
00:25:17 John chapter 14 verse1 15 which he said
00:25:20 if he Lov me Jesus said or Yeshua Jesus
00:25:26 Yeshua um said if ye love me keep my
00:25:31 commandments so if you have the Pure
00:25:34 Love Of Christ you will keep his law you
00:25:37 will keep his Commandments and just
00:25:39 something to add to
00:25:41 that the Pure Love Of Christ when you
00:25:45 really
00:25:46 love
00:25:48 something you seek to make it a part of
00:25:52 yourself and
00:25:54 so those with the Pure Love Of Christ
00:25:57 will act in accordance with
00:26:01 what God has
00:26:04 revealed
00:26:06 about his character and God Reveals His
00:26:11 character to us in the form of
00:26:15 Commandments for us to write Upon Our
00:26:18 Hearts and as we write these
00:26:20 Commandments Upon Our
00:26:22 Hearts his character becomes our
00:26:26 character
00:26:30 the U and
00:26:32 there’s it’s this goes back to the
00:26:35 Salvation pattern which is shown in
00:26:38 Exodus first thing that
00:26:43 happened is that all of Israel was saved
00:26:45 by the blood of the Lamb
00:26:48 yes this is what happens for this is
00:26:51 what happens for all Christians they get
00:26:53 they they’re saved by the blood of the
00:26:55 lamb and the truth of the matter is most
00:26:58 of them don’t know where to turn after
00:27:01 that because their teachers don’t know
00:27:03 how to teach
00:27:04 them because their teachers have been
00:27:08 purposefully misled to teach them things
00:27:10 which are not
00:27:13 true through their semin through their
00:27:15 seminaries and Institutes of
00:27:19 religion
00:27:20 so the
00:27:24 uh but the first step is being saved in
00:27:28 the blood of the Lamb then he leads then
00:27:31 he leads his people
00:27:33 out and they enter into the waters they
00:27:36 enter into the wa Israel entered into
00:27:38 the Waters of the Red
00:27:40 Sea and his people enter into the Waters
00:27:42 of baptism when they come out on the
00:27:45 other side the old man has died and the
00:27:47 new man is born in
00:27:51 Christ
00:27:53 then after the baptism of
00:27:56 blood after the re after being born
00:27:59 again of blood and of water then they
00:28:02 are born again of the spirit for the
00:28:05 Israelites this this and for the
00:28:08 Israelites this happened at Mount Si
00:28:10 when the spirit of God descended down
00:28:12 upon the mountain and spoke with them
00:28:15 and wrote his Ten Commandments and
00:28:17 tablets of
00:28:19 stone what this and in the and in the
00:28:21 New Covenant those Commandments those
00:28:24 laws that were written in stone and on
00:28:27 paper are supposed to be written in our
00:28:30 hearts the law hasn’t changed the
00:28:34 requirements haven’t changed we write
00:28:36 them in our hearts so that we will keep
00:28:39 them yeah we don’t
00:28:42 write because clearly Israel was quite
00:28:45 capable of breaking all those
00:28:48 Commandments written on Stone and every
00:28:51 single one of those Commandments written
00:28:53 on paper yes because they did it time
00:28:57 and time and time again yes so the this
00:29:02 is we’ll have U there will be another
00:29:05 video on the um on the Salvation pattern
00:29:09 yeah revealed in Exodus
00:29:12 yeah and last but not least verse 26 let
00:29:16 us here observe that the
00:29:19 foregoing is the character which is
00:29:21 given of God in his Revelations to the
00:29:25 former to the former Day Saints
00:29:28 and it is also the character which is
00:29:30 given of him in his Revelations to the
00:29:33 latterday Saints so the Saints of former
00:29:36 days and those of Latter days are both
00:29:40 alike in this respect the Latter Day
00:29:42 Saints having As Good Grounds to
00:29:45 exercise faith in God as the former Day
00:29:48 Saints had because the same character is
00:29:51 given of him to both so this is
00:29:56 something really important that actually
00:29:58 happened in the last verse as well but
00:30:00 revelations in his Revelations to the
00:30:03 former Day Saints he’s he’s not talking
00:30:05 about uh visitations to individuals he’s
00:30:08 talking about the scriptures
00:30:12 yes so um this is what he’s saying that
00:30:15 the revelations to the former Day Saints
00:30:18 that his character is the same in the
00:30:19 revelations to the former Day Saints as
00:30:21 to the Latter Day Saints um now there
00:30:23 are a lot of Christians who want to say
00:30:25 that they’re no they’re not no they’re
00:30:27 not lying guess what you just don’t
00:30:31 understand your scriptures and you need
00:30:33 to uh actually look at your
00:30:36 scriptures um outside of the lens of
00:30:38 your
00:30:40 theology uh because your theology is
00:30:42 what keeps you from ever moving past the
00:30:45 first step and the Salvation
00:30:49 pattern
00:30:51 yeah I just want to go ahead and let you
00:30:54 guys know also and we’ll we are going to
00:30:57 go ahead and close this video out with
00:30:59 our bearing our testimonies on uh on
00:31:03 these uh attributes and uh but I just
00:31:08 want to let you know we are going to be
00:31:10 posting more videos more
00:31:12 regularly um but I just want to go ahead
00:31:14 and say that I know that yah is the
00:31:20 same from former days as
00:31:25 to the current days the Latter Day
00:31:28 Saints the former Day
00:31:31 Saints to the Latter Day Saints there is
00:31:34 no separation between them except for
00:31:37 time the revelations are the
00:31:40 same the Commandments are the same all
00:31:45 commandments were given to the former
00:31:48 Day Saints and the Latter Day
00:31:53 Saints then this gives us I bear you my
00:31:57 witness this gives us what we need to be
00:32:00 able to
00:32:02 exercise the faith necessary to walk in
00:32:06 the ways of Yahweh who is
00:32:11 God and rely on the arm of
00:32:17 Yeshua who is Our Redeemer who are one
00:32:21 and the
00:32:22 same amen and just one editor
00:32:26 note when we say Latter-Day Saints were
00:32:28 not referring to a
00:32:31 religion because uh the Church of Jesus
00:32:34 Christ of Latter-day
00:32:36 Saints
00:32:37 is just as wrong in their
00:32:41 theology as mainstream Christianity is
00:32:44 in its the Latter-Day Saints are those
00:32:47 who are Saints I.E keeping the law and
00:32:52 being
00:32:53 Sanctified in the latter
00:32:56 days which we are now which we are now
