Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today

00:05

I want to thank you so very much for joining me for this podcast This is a podcast that I had no plans

00:13

To do was not planning on doing anything at least for another 10 days or so on my youtube channel because I've got so much

00:19

On my plate right now But I feel compelled to do this Many of you have heard of the interview that Babylon B.

00:29

Did with Elon Musk a few weeks ago I like Babylon B. I think a lot of their stuff is really funny.

00:37

I've shared Some of their stuff with others before and it's you know, kind of back and forth between friends texted to each other whatnot

00:45

Some of their stuff is funny, but I was not aware of what exactly transpired in that interview

00:52

Until today now best I can tell this interview was posted on their YouTube channel back in December December 21st and The big headline from this interview that they did with Elon Musk Was that Elon Musk said that he's not perverted enough to work at CNN.

01:08

That was the big headline That's what got a lot of laughs and I heard about that I saw the little clip of that, but I did not watch the entire interview

01:16

I did not watch it until this morning and I was tipped off to this by a video that Ray Comfort put up this morning and I watched it and Ray and I exchanged a few texts with it and He and I are both

01:34

Absolutely heartbroken over What happened in that interview and I just feel compelled to say something about this because at the end of the interview

01:45

Babylon be presented the gospel to Elon Musk and it was absolutely appalling

01:58

It would be Embarrassing it would be comically bad if it weren't that we were talking about a real man with a real soul

02:12

Who needs to hear the gospel and they had the perfect opportunity to do it and They didn't

02:20

And they call themselves Christian I want to show you

02:27

I took the last six or seven minutes of this interview Which which is where they presented them that presented the gospel and I'm gonna play the entirety of it now at a few points

02:37

I'm gonna interrupt and offer, you know, talk about what we're hearing, but I promise you

02:43

From start to finish from the time they began Presenting the gospel all the way to the end.

02:49

I'm not taking anything out You'll see the entire thing and I'll just interrupt on a few occasions to offer some comment and then

02:57

I'll have some closing thoughts Here we go all right final question to Closer time out here.

03:05

Yeah, I mean we're here. We're you know, the Babylon B is a Christian organization, you know, and we're ministry

03:10

So lest you think that Babylon B is just kind of a secular satirical organization

03:16

No He says we're a Christian organization in a ministry and for those of you who follow the

03:21

Babylon B You know that they are they're well -versed in theological issues because they put stuff up mocking

03:28

Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen and those kind of guys. Hey fine with me, obviously

03:34

But they also put stuff up With Paul Washer and John MacArthur and so they know who these guys are.

03:41

They know what they teach These are ostensibly Christians keep that in mind as you watch the rest of this.

03:51

Well, how come we're doing the show on a Sunday? Why are you heathens in church?

04:00

So we have to make it church right now. This is supposed to be a day of rest. We did zoom church to justify Like God said

04:07

Don't work on Sundays. Okay, Lizzie guys are going straight to hell for this one. Get into the whole

04:12

Jesus rest thing, okay Straight to hell This is church, this is church Okay, so to make this church we have to do we have to make sure just it we're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and Accept Jesus as your

04:24

Lord and Savior So he says to Elon we wanted to know if you would do us a quick solid and Accept Jesus as your personal

04:33

Lord and Savior quick solid So you may be thinking oh, that's just kind of their way of introducing the gospel in their funny sort of way and surely they're going to Explain what that means to to have

04:47

Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Surely they're going to explain that right? Personal words, you know, it's a quick prayer

05:02

And so now there's this just Nervous awkward laughter and he says, oh, it's just just a quick prayer.

05:10

It's all it is It's all salvation is just a quick prayer. No big deal. I Mean let's just say like I agree with The principles that Jesus advocated

05:22

And that the you know, there's some some there's great wisdom in what in the teaching teachings of Jesus and I agree with those teachings

05:36

And things like Tony other cheek are Very important because as opposed to an eye for an eye an eye for an eye at least everyone blind so Forgiveness you know is important and So clearly

05:56

Elon Musk has some vague familiarity With Jesus and some of the things he did some of the things he taught but he he does not believe that Jesus is

06:05

God he believes that Jesus was just this moralistic teacher you can tell by the things he's saying and that should be

06:11

Abundantly clear to the Babylon be guys who are part of a Christian ministry

06:18

Treating people as you would wish to be treated Love that neighbor as I sell very important That's like a 60 70 percent.

06:27

Yes, as Einstein would say I Believe in the God of Spinoza Okay, so just real quickly the reference there to Spinoza he's referring to Baruch Spinoza Spinoza was a

06:41

Dutch philosopher back in the 17th century. So the 1600s and Spinoza believed in a

06:48

God little g -god, but not the God he believed that God is simply the summation of all of the

06:58

Physical laws of the universe so he did not believe in a personal God He did not believe that God was the creator

07:05

In fact, he stated very directly that God is not the creator God is just the kind of summation of the physical laws of the universe

07:13

So so clearly not a Christian obviously So But hey if you know if Jesus is

07:26

Saving people. I mean, I I wouldn't stand in his way, you know, like they'll be sure I'll be saved.

07:32

Why not? We did it I think he just said yes What I think you just said yes, hey we got him praise the

07:46

Lord What What are you talking about?

07:52

We got him. What are you talking about? Praise the Lord praise the Lord for what?

07:59

For what You just sat there and listened to Elon Musk give you his basically pantheistic view of God in that Jesus is just a

08:13

Moral teacher who spun some good yarns and did some nice things there's no difference between that Jesus and and Gandhi And they said we hope we got him praise the

08:30

Lord. Are you kidding me? You know,

08:35

I actually Happen to believe what the Bible says About Christ in who he is and what he did.

08:44

I actually happen to believe that the Bible is Trustworthy and true when it says that people who die in their sins

08:55

Will spend an eternity in hell And you have the audacity to say we got him praise the

09:02

Lord You offered not one Scintilla not a not a hint of any explanation of who

09:14

Jesus is You listen to him give his

09:21

Pantheistic view of God in this this weak Spirituality and I'm not mad at Elon Musk at all

09:31

My heart breaks for Elon Musk My heart absolutely breaks for him because here he is being interviewed for like an hour and a half by Christians How much do you have to hate someone?

09:49

How much do you have to hate someone to know that they think they're okay with God and Not tell them the truth not give them the gospel

10:02

How much Babylon be guys Cow man and Dylan and how much do you have to hate?

10:11

How much do you hate Elon Musk? If you really believe the

10:16

Bible is what it claims to be and Jesus is who he claimed to be If you really believe that if you really believe the gospel, how much do you have to hate?

10:26

Elon Musk to sit there and listen to humans Obvious he's not a Christian. It's obvious.

10:31

He's dead in his trespasses and sins. It's obvious. He's unregenerate and Not give him the gospel and just say

10:40

Oh praise the Lord Whoo -hoo. We got him. Are you kidding me there?

10:46

There's more I've heard more gospel from Joel Osteen Joel Osteen but would be ashamed at what you guys just did he would blush with shame

10:57

I've heard more gospel from Deepak Chopra Unbelievable.

11:06

Do we really believe what we say? We believe do we really believe that? People who die in their sins will spend an eternity in hell under the full

11:15

Undiluted fury of God's wrath. Do we believe that do we really do? We really believe that Jesus offers them the the only way of escape unbelievable

11:40

I Want to get baptized, you know as he shakes his water bottle

11:46

It's all a joke, isn't it? It's all just fun and games You know Not everything is about jokes

11:54

Babylon be not everything is about satire. You want to do satire fine do satire I've enjoyed your satire before I've thought it was funny.

12:02

I've shared it with friends of mine for a lot actually Not anymore That's for sure.

12:08

Not anymore The Gospels not a joke. The Gospels not The Gospels not satire, but you know what the tragedy is is you've just turned it into satire

12:19

You've just turned it into a joke Unreal Second yeah,

12:25

I even had like, you know, whatever the whatever blood and body of Christ was kind of weird You know if you look at it like you get to give you some weird tasting

12:34

You know, let's get in a wine. Yeah I'm like, isn't this kind of just cut it off when he said yes

12:45

There's some like fading and weird metaphor for cannibalism or something I don't get like what What the hell

12:52

I remember thinking that was just crazy when I was a kid And I like this to like whoa, you know

12:59

You know what's so sad about this You can tell as the interview goes on that That he he has some, you know, he has some vague idea of what at least some nominal

13:13

Christianity is, you know, he's describing the the wine and the funny tasting bread or however

13:19

He worded that you know, clearly he's talking about communion and it's obvious. He doesn't understand it.

13:25

He's telling him He doesn't understand it. It was weird to him. He doesn't he doesn't get it He's asking them questions.

13:33

I mean he is all but just begging them to answer his questions and they could

13:41

I guess They're a Christian ministry But they don't they just continue with this nervous laughter and just say nothing

13:53

I mean, he's he's It's on a silver platter guys. He's asking you questions

14:00

And you don't even have the decency or care enough about the man's soul to answer his questions

14:09

It's unreal And by the way As you watch this video, you probably notice some background music

14:19

I'm not putting that in there Babylon B. Put that in there It's not in the first part of the interview

14:25

It's only in this last about six or seven minutes or so when they get to the gospel

14:30

That's when the back the nice little background music comes in. It's not in the it's not in the other

14:37

Um 70 minutes No, it's just when they get to the gospel then they put the background music in Let me tell you something guys putting that nice little emotional kind of easygoing music in the background

14:52

That doesn't make it any better Doesn't make it more spiritual.

14:58

It doesn't doesn't mean that something profound is going on not in a good way anyway

15:03

Something profound is going on in a tragic way in a Christ denying way

15:11

But it doesn't help Doesn't help your case doesn't make you look any better doesn't soften the tragedy of what we are seeing in front of our eyes

15:23

I'm even as a metaphor. It's kind of odd, you know, so it's like I'm sure to be giving alcohol to minors.

15:28

I was like We do grape juice I Think it's a new.

15:35

Yeah, the good old grape juice Baptist joke. Well, you're Baptist. You're Baptist. Are you?

15:41

Then you ought to know, you know, you ought to at least know the basics of the gospel You at least ought to know the

15:46

ABCs. I am just absolutely appalled at this and it it gets worse

15:53

Usually even be thinking about that as a kid like a kid You just go through the motions and later on that you think wait a minute

15:58

What does this actually represent? What am I doing? No when I was a kid, I was like like is this actually blood and body?

16:04

What what? You know, I don't I don't want to eat somebody And then it's like what this is

16:11

Did it anyway, I'm like this seems like okay, man. I don't know if this is just pretty odd, you know

16:17

I remember thinking that even at age five so I was like, you know, and I was definitely like, you know, it's how they school there like Whether it's telling all the stories and I was like asking questions and like they really were upset that I was asking questions

16:33

I was like, you know Jesus like fed the crowd with like five loaves of bread and three fish and I'm like how big was the crowd and and like Where did the fish and bread come from that like from his cloak or something like?

16:48

Because I was like reading books and I was like this is like They've materialized Where'd it come from, you know, so again we see that Elon has some familiarity with some

17:01

Bible stories and he talks about Jesus and feeding the the multitude, you know 5 ,000 with the five loaves of bread and he said three fish two fish

17:11

But you know close enough. He obviously has some knowledge of some Bible stories and he says how did that happen?

17:18

You know, how did how did that happen? Did it did it? Materialize it come out of his cloak, you know, he's like guys

17:29

He's asking you How these things happened? I mean the The ball is sitting on a tee.

17:37

What do you want him to do paint a picture? I mean honestly, how

17:45

How obtuse do you have to be? How uncaring do you have to be for the man's soul?

17:52

How could you not say? Yeah, Elon, that's uh, you know, the reason Jesus could do that is because he's the creator

18:01

He created all things That's what the book of Hebrews teaches. That's what the book of Colossians teaches

18:08

He created all things. He's the creator. He spoke the universe into existence He can create

18:15

Bread and fish. He spoke the Milky Way galaxy the Andromeda galaxy spoke these billions of billions trillions of galaxies with I Mean that should be right up his alley right?

18:29

He's Elon Musk. He's shooting rockets up into space That should get his attention You know,

18:35

Elon the the universe that you're so fascinated by and rightly so because the heavens declare the glory of God Did you know

18:44

Jesus is the one who spoke those things into existence Have to how do you not answer those questions for him?

18:56

Christian ministry Unbelievable. I'm just absolutely appalled like how did it

19:03

Would you like take a bite of the bread and we're just the bread just come back to being a full bread

19:08

Yeah, you look away. It's gonna be back. I'll remember me. They left out the details universe come from Yeah Well, yeah,

19:18

I'm not saying I know all the answers here I'm just You know Elon if by some chance you're watching this video

19:26

It's okay that you don't have all the answers. I want you to have the answers and there are answers

19:32

But you're not you're not a Christian. Okay? These guys are or claim to be

19:40

Guys Babylon be guys there is no excuse for this.

19:46

There is none The Bible says sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts always being ready to make a defense

19:54

Give an answer to everyone who asked you to give an account for the hope that is in you first Peter 3 15 guys pretty basic stuff

20:04

Always be ready to give an answer. He's asking you questions Unbelievable How do you not give him the answers to his questions?

20:15

You spend all your time writing satire and coming up with some clever funny stuff Maybe you should spend a little bit more time in the actual

20:21

Bible If you believe it You know, it's just And like Jesus was obviously very pro alcohol, you know, because one of his miracles was turning water into wine

20:33

Yeah, that was like they were having a party. They ran out of wine And they're like, let's keep this banner going

20:43

Who can solve this problem Friggin stores closed He's like I gotcha.

20:50

Okay water now like I like party on So, you know accurate crow partying with alcohol is literally

21:00

Bible story time like you're like you are the it's like you're definitely You're the savior

21:09

Kept the party going with lots of wine. That's great Did you catch what he just said there? He said referring to Jesus.

21:16

You're the you're the Savior. He kept the party going. It's great You're the Savior What an opportunity

21:24

I mean my goodness guys what an opportunity what or not what the golden Opportunity to say hey

21:32

Elon, you know what you just said there. He said Jesus is a Savior He is Elon. He is the

21:38

Savior But not in the way that you think he wasn't the Savior of the party He is the

21:44

Savior of all of those who will repent of their sins and place their trust in him

21:49

He will save you from your sin That's what it means When you say that Jesus is a

21:56

Savior that is who he is. He's a Savior from your sin He's a Savior from the wrath of God that your sins have earned perfect opportunity

22:06

Did they do it? Oh, no Oh, no So Yeah, well, thank you

22:18

It's pleasure to meet you in person and You know, we'll we'll continue to Throw out the satire that we hope you'll respond to and you know, keep that going a little bit

22:31

So Seth Dillon says to Elon we'll keep putting out the satire you know for you to enjoy respond to and that's the way this interview came about as Babylon B put out one of their satirical articles and Elon Musk saw it and he responded to it or replied or had some kind of interaction there they saw that and Somehow got in touch with him and lo and behold next thing, you know an interview has been arranged.

22:56

So But they're gonna continue to put out the satire for him to enjoy and hopefully respond to great

23:04

Fantastic What good do you think that will do him? one of these days when he dies

23:13

And if he dies in his sins He will go to the lake of fire like everyone else will go

23:19

Who dies in their sins? He'll go to the lake and fire lake of fire. Do you think that he's gonna be?

23:25

Thinking about all those satirical articles from Babylon B and in chuckling, you know, how funny they were how entertaining they were

23:33

No, he's not gonna be reminiscing about that He'll be reminiscing.

23:39

All right Because My educated guess from Scripture. We know from Luke chapter 16, right the rich man and Lazarus Rich man went to the lake of fire

23:50

Not because he was rich. He went where he was spiritually prepared to go and Elon Musk Wealthiest man in the world.

23:59

He's not gonna go to hell because he's wealthy He's gonna go to hell unless he repents of his sin and trust

24:06

Christ as Savior That's why he's gonna go to hell, but he's gonna be Unless the

24:13

Lord saves him one of these days he's gonna be in the lake of fire and he's gonna be reminiscing about that day back in December of 2021 when he sat down with four

24:26

Christians who run a Christian ministry and And he all but begged them to answer the questions that he had about Jesus And they didn't do it

24:40

They just laughed Laughed it up like it's no big deal

24:48

That's what he's going to be reminiscing about Absolutely tragic

24:54

Well, we didn't ask onion or the B, but I guess that was kind of answered earlier Yeah, yes, we already covered that yeah,

25:01

I mean, I think the onion has done some extremely funny stuff over time It's just it just seems to have been you know in recent years somewhat affected by the woke mind virus

25:10

So that just makes everything less funny. Yeah Look, my virus is a world without humor.

25:17

Yeah, I'm hoping you're a link Appreciate it.

25:24

Thank you. Thanks so much. Thanks so much. All right And that's it

25:34

That concluded that part of the interview. I didn't cut anything out. That's it

25:40

What a tragedy You know Babylon be guys. I I don't even know what to say to you.

25:47

I don't even know what to say I'm just appalled. I'm heartbroken honestly heartbroken over that It would have been it would have been better for you to have not said anything to him

26:00

It would have been it would have been better for it for you, honestly to cut that part of the interview out

26:07

And I was looking at some of the comments Under the the YouTube video that they posted and people were so excited.

26:14

Oh, they talked about Jesus Elon Musk There's nothing to be excited about from that interview.

26:20

Nothing There's every reason to be absolutely heartbroken Over what happened in that interview?

26:29

You know Babylon be if you want to write satire fine write satire enjoy it that's

26:35

I'm But if you're gonna call yourselves Christians if you're gonna call yourself a

26:42

Christian ministry My goodness man share the gospel

26:51

Share the gospel when people ask you. I mean, that's first Peter 315 on a tea

26:58

And You blew it in front and I guess one of the things

27:05

I keep thinking about too is like, how do you not know you blew it? Yeah you put this yeah, if if it had been me and I had blown it as big as Bigly as big as you blew it.

27:19

I would have cut that last six or seven minutes of the interview off Out I wouldn't

27:24

I wouldn't post that And putting that nice little Background music doesn't help anything unreal

27:34

If you're not gonna share the gospel, then don't call yourself a Christian. Do God a favor and don't call yourselves

27:40

Christians Now I may be I may I know I sound Harsh and and worked up but my goodness

27:50

Do we believe these things or not I do Ray Comfort does lots of lots of us do but my goodness,

28:00

I Will never again share any anything from Babylon be If I even see anything from Babylon be again,

28:07

I don't care how funny it might be for one thing I'm not gonna read it. But if I happen to catch one of their headlines I'm not sharing it ever again

28:16

Not as long as you claim to be Christians now if you just claim to be some secular satirical thing fine

28:22

But if you're gonna call yourself a Christian ministry Then I expect you to actually share the gospel especially when it's

28:32

So easy to do so in such a perfect opportunity Elon if by some chance you are watching this video

28:40

I Would like you to know what the real gospel is and I would like you to know that the questions that you've had about Jesus ever since you were a kid about Turning the water into wine and and making bread and fish

28:54

Multiply to feed thousands. I want you to know that there are answers To you the questions that you've had for so long.

29:01

I want you to know the real Jesus I want you to know the real gospel

29:06

Elon and the real gospel is this is That you are a sinner.

29:12

I am a sinner the Bible says that all our sinners Romans chapter 3 verse 23 all have sinned and Fallen short of the glory of God.

29:21

What is sin sin is transgressing God's laws and Just like when we break laws on earth, there's a penalty to be paid

29:30

How much more so when we break the laws of God? But unlike breaking laws on earth that has a temporal

29:38

Punishment when we break God's laws, the punishment is eternal. Why because he is

29:45

Eternal and he is of infinite value You know

29:50

Elon most of us almost all of us. We think of ourselves as good people And I'm sure that you think of yourself as a good person

29:58

That's human nature because what we tend to do is we tend to evaluate our goodness by comparing ourselves to other people and if I were to compare myself to Osama bin

30:10

Laden Pol Pot Mussolini Jack the Ripper Hitler Saddam Hussein Yeah, you know,

30:18

I'm a pretty good old boy, I've never done any of those things But Elon the fact of the matter is is that God does not evaluate our goodness by comparing us to other people

30:27

He evaluates our goodness by comparing us to himself And there's only one who is good and that is

30:34

God You see we've all broken God's laws. What are the laws of God the Ten Commandments God's standard of morality?

30:44

Thou shalt not lie Elon have you ever told a lie? Of course you have so have

30:49

I so has everybody on the planet Because the Bible says that let God be true and every man a liar

30:57

So Elon you are a liar In all likelihood you are a thief if you have ever taken something that does not belong to you

31:05

The value of what you take is irrelevant That's theft and if you've committed theft then you are a thief

31:13

It's like if you commit murder you are a murderer You're a liar. You're a thief and I'm not coming down hard on you because I am those things too.

31:22

We all are We're liars. We're thieves. We're blasphemers Thou shalt not take the name of the

31:28

Lord thy God in vain and Taking God's name in vain is a lot more than just saying OMG or GD We take

31:37

God's name in vain not only in what we say, but also in what we do That's blasphemy

31:44

Thou shalt not commit adultery Jesus says if you look at a woman with lust you've committed adultery already in your heart

31:52

So if you've ever looked at another person with lust then you're an adulterer and we've all done that We are all liars thieves blasphemers adulterers at heart at least

32:06

And when you go through God's laws the Ten Commandments we have all broken his commandments thousands of times

32:13

But again because we have sinned against God who is eternal the punishment of that sin is also eternal

32:20

And if we die in our sins, we will very rightly very justly go to a very real place that the

32:27

Bible calls hell Where the worm will not die the fire will not be quenched.

32:32

There will be wailing weeping gnashing of teeth and Elon Your good works will not save you and a lot of people think that too.

32:42

They think well, yeah, okay I've done some bad things. I've I've slipped off. I've maybe even committed some sins

32:49

But hey, my good deeds outweigh my bad deeds But Elon that logic doesn't work.

32:55

It doesn't even work in a court of law here if I were to commit armed robbery and And I were caught by that and are caught by security cameras and all the evidence was there and I Committed armed robbery and so I have my day in court and the evidence is there

33:14

I'm found guilty by a jury of my peers and the judge says well Justin You've been found guilty by a jury of your peers.

33:21

You've committed armed robbery. Do you have anything to say for yourself before? Before I pass sentence and what if I were to say well judge, you know,

33:28

I've only committed armed robbery on one day I've lived a lot of other days in my life, you know thousands and thousands of days

33:36

I've lived but just on this one day I've committed armed robbery. So I think you should let me go. Let's up it a little bit

33:42

Let's say I committed murder. I shot the clerk of the store that I robbed

33:48

So I'm a I'm a thief. I'm a I've committed armed robbery and I'm a murderer.

33:54

Well judge. I've only killed one man I've only killed one man on one day of my life

33:59

So I think my good deeds outweigh my bad deeds because you know, I've done some good work

34:05

I've worked for the United Way. I gave you know, I rang a bell for the Salvation Army one Christmas, you know So that you know, it kind of only killed one person one day.

34:13

What if the judge were to say this Wow, Justin You know, I've never really never really thought about that.

34:18

But you're right. So your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds I think I'll let you go.

34:24

You're free to go. We'll see you later. Have a nice day, and I'll walk out the door Would that be a good judge?

34:30

Of course not be a terrible judge because a good judge must punish crime

34:37

God is the ultimate good judge and because he is good. He must punish

34:44

Sin if he did not punish sin Then he would not be good And so even though a lot of people think oh well

34:52

God is a good God and so he'll let me slide on the things I've done wrong. No, it doesn't work that way

34:58

God is good and it is the goodness of God that will seal our fate and It is we cannot work our way into heaven, you know, if go back to the courtroom illustration

35:08

I cannot say to that judge. Hey judge, you know, I'll tell you what. I'll I'll work for Habitat for Humanity I'll ring a bell for the

35:15

Salvation Army. I'll work in the soup kitchen. Let me off the hook It's not gonna let me off the hook. And so our good deeds are not gonna get us off the hook with God In fact,

35:25

Isaiah chapter 64 says that our works our good deeds are like filthy rags before a

35:32

God who is thrice holy And so our works will not profit us.

35:39

You've done some amazing things, Elon You really have and I admire so much of what you've done I mean the

35:45

Tesla's, I don't own a Tesla, but the Tesla's and the spaceships that you send up. I'm Fascinated by that.

35:51

I've always been fascinated by space You can see the the globe behind me and the work of his hands that book which was written by Jeff Williams, by the way

36:00

Christian astronaut who spent six months on the International Space Station Amazing man, so I share a lot of those interests and I'm amazed at some of the things you've done but Elon That will profit you nothing

36:11

In the day of judgment when you die and stand before God it will profit you nothing. Our works will not save us

36:18

We cannot save ourselves and here is the true Christian gospel.

36:24

This is what makes Christianity true biblical Christianity Elon unique is that every other world religion every other religion that has ever existed in the history of the world has been a variation of this of Man trying to work his way up to God Christianity true biblical

36:43

Christianity is absolutely unique in that true biblical Christianity is about God coming down to man and That is exactly what

36:55

God did in his son Jesus Christ You see Elon God sent his son

37:00

Jesus Christ to this earth in Jesus lived a perfect life. He was one person with two natures fully

37:08

God fully man and As the God -man Jesus lived a perfect life

37:14

He never broke any of God's laws and then Jesus willingly laid down his life on the cross

37:21

His life was not taken he gave it and on the cross this perfect person

37:27

Offered his perfect life as a perfect sacrifice to perfectly satisfy the perfect wrath of God Died on the cross and then three days later was bodily raised from the dead proving himself to be who he said he was

37:42

God in human flesh in the only way to have the wrath of God removed is to repent of sin turn from sin and Place your trust in the work that Jesus Christ did for us on the cross

37:57

There is salvation in no one else only in Christ Jesus said

38:03

I'm the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father, but by me You must repent of sins and place your trust in Christ.

38:10

Now, what does it mean to repent a Lot of people think that repenting just kind of means

38:16

Willing yourself to turn from certain sins you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you make a good effort to To don't drink anymore.

38:25

Don't look at pornography anymore. Don't do any of these things repentance Repentance genuine repentance.

38:33

He'll Elan is In and of itself a gift from God. It is something that is granted to us and when

38:39

God grants us repentance Our Minds are changed.

38:45

Yes. Our minds are changed about sin. We no longer Love sin, we we hate sin.

38:50

Our minds are changed, but everything about us has changed Our affections are changed. Our desires are changed we love what

38:59

God loves and we hate what God hates and One of the ways to tell that true repentance has come about is if you have a godly sorrow

39:08

Over sin and Paul talks about this in 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 2nd Corinthians chapter 7

39:13

Paul Describes a worldly sorrow and a godly sorrow over sin. He says a worldly sorrow leads to death

39:20

Eternal death but a godly sorrow leads to repentance unto salvation So what is a worldly sorrow a worldly sorrow?

39:27

Ilan is nothing more than a guilty conscience and we all have that a worldly sorrow is a sorrow that is

39:35

Horizontally oriented in other words a worldly sorrow says this What would happen to me if my sin were exposed?

39:44

What would be the consequences to me? And so we try to cover up our sin not because we grieve over it, but because we don't want the consequences of it

39:54

But if we could get away with it, you see if nobody would know about it We would go right back to it. That's a worldly sorrow and a worldly sorrow leads to death

40:02

But a godly sorrow leads to repentance unto salvation What is this godly sorrow a godly sorrow over sin?

40:10

Is that sorrow that is vertically oriented a godly sorrow over sin comes when we grieve over our sin?

40:17

Because we don't we understand that our sin grieves God and we do not want to grieve him.

40:23

We do not want to grieve his person That's a godly sorrow and Ilan if if you will come to Christ Recognizing that you're a sinner

40:34

And if and if your sin grieves you if you understand that your sin Grieves God and you don't want to grieve him if you have if you want to turn from sin

40:43

That's that's a godly sorrow and Jesus says the one who comes to me. I will in no wise cast out

40:51

If you'll come to Christ You know, let me say this it's good and it's right

40:57

To warn people to flee from the wrath to come to flee from God's wrath It's good and it's right to warn people about hell, but just as much as we should want a

41:06

Savior from hell We should want a Savior from our sin The person who wants a

41:12

Savior from hell, but not a Savior from sin has a Savior from neither But Ilan if you'll come to Christ in a true godly sorrow

41:23

He'll save you from your sin, he'll save you from the wrath of God and you will pass from death to life

41:31

All things passed away behold. All things will be made new so Ilan If you're not sure of where you are, you're gonna go when you die.

41:41

I would encourage you I would implore you go before Christ cry out to him confess your sins to him

41:48

Recognize that you're a sinner confess your sins ask him to save you and if that really is

41:55

Your heart crime if that is truly what you want if you truly want to know Christ and you come to him

42:01

He will save you you'll pass from death to life and death will not be anything that you ever have to fear
