The Keepers of the Law – Part 40
1 – GOD CANNOT LIE. Get that. It is IMPOSSIBLE for The Real God, The Holy Spirit — to lie. EVER.
This is absolutely critical. Blue Cars. Red Car.
Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,…important… we might have a strong consolation,????????? who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Context…
Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham,
When you PROMISE, whom do YOU sware by???? I sware to God. I give you my word.
because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
What is this saying? God promised. Soooo, He made the promise very clear so there could be NO misunderstanding it.
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Gen 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 (1) That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 (2) And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
So, wait, how did Abraham “obtain” these promises????
Joh 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it,
and was glad. Abraham KNEW who Jesus was and (sort of) what He was here to do!!
Deu 32:4 …a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Truth or Liar. No in-between.
Sinner or Sinless. No in-between.
Just or Unjust. No in-between.
Righteous or Unrighteous. No in-between.
This is HOW you have to think about it.
Pro 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17…a lying tongue…19 A false witness that speaketh lies,
Pro 12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
You are NOT looking for truth. You are NOT trying to find truth. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LIES!!!!
Specifically, YOU ARE LOOKING FOR 1 LIE. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SINGLE LIE. A SINGLE UNTRUTH.
Rev_2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
How many murders does it take to make someone a murderer?
How many lies does it take to make someone a liar?
Every Car is blue. You can show 10 million blue cars. That isn’t proof. ONE RED CAR is enough to PROVE a lie!!
We aren’t looking to find the truth in what they are saying.
WE ARE LOOKING TO FIND A LIE IN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. Just 1 red car.
Listen, a HUMAN can lie. They DO lie. They can also speak the truth. This proves NOTHING. Some TRUTH proves nothing!
A DEVIL can lie. They DO lie. They can also speak the truth. This proves NOTHING. Some TRUTH proves nothing!
Jesus gave us a crash course in dealing with a devil…
Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Now, of course, The Son of God COULD have done this, was powerful enuf, was very able and capable. Jesus didn’t deny that He COULD easily have done this. It was THE TRUTH as spoken by the devil.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
It WAS written. Jesus never said, “no it isn’t written”. It was THE TRUTH as spoken by the devil.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Now, whether this was THE TRUTH is debatable. But it likely was mostly true. The devil would have GLADLY made the trade!
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
What did we learn?
A Devils can TELL THE TRUTH. They absolutely can. This does NOT define them or prove anything.
Liars don’t lie ALL the time or EVERY time. They only lie when it is time to DECEIVE.
BUT IT IS WRITTEN. This was a hugely important thing to Jesus. Jesus was/is THE WORD. Why then was it soooo important for Him to say, “it is written”???
i because Scripture IS THE TRUTH. It cannot be broken.
