🌏 The Challenge of Different Beliefs

🕊 The Object of Faith Matters
The speaker uses a hypothetical belief in Elvis Presley as God to illustrate the difference between sincere belief and the object of belief.

Transcripts
if I will say that we're all made in the
image of God so you're telling people
that they're all bad then isn't that
contradicting yourself yeah that's a
good question but no okay because we're
not the Creator were the creation okay
we're human beings he's made us a lot
like him but we're fallen
we've rebelled against him and the Bible
actually says we're haters of God hated
okay here's why okay thank God for air
it's his air you've been stealing gulp
after gulp of air God by yourself we're
rebels against God we live the way we
want we wake up we don't do it we're
told we don't think if we don't praise
Him we don't read his word we don't
submit to him we need our meals without
ever saying thanks we don't go and
witness to people we lie we lust most
people look at pornography in this
country it's all the way of going hate
you God hate you I'm the god of my life
we're haters of God really oh yeah okay
so I just got back from Nepal and in
Nepal people believed in Hinduism and
Buddhism mainly and it's deeply rooted
in that and how can you tell me that
those people in Nepal are gonna have the
same view of God as you are and there's
only one way when their view of God is
gonna be completely pluralistic because
they believe me because they grow up in
a culture and my view of God is so
different from your view of God so how
do you see here and tell people that
your truth is their truth like I don't
understand that
because you possess the truth and you
don't pursue it at all so you're
completely blinded to like other very
other ways of worship jesus said this
are you Christian
I don't know here's what Jesus said
Jesus claimed to be God all right start
right there and he said there is no
other God none they're all idols made of
wood these people in India who carve up
their little wooden statue here's how it
worked they take a piece of wood like
this telephone they take a piece of wood
the God that they just carved out can't
make its way to the altar so they have
to carry their God and put it on the
altar and they got to nail it down to
make sure it doesn't wobble in the wind
and then they take the rest of the wood
that they carved their God from and they
use it to make a sandwich in the
fireplace okay okay
listen listen Idol says the God of the
Bible wasn't the Bible mean by human
hands - what's different - you worship
that's a different subject you said
these gods that they have how can you
say they're wrong because the God of the
Bible says they're wrong and they're
worshipping a false idol Jesus said I am
the way the truth only one truth Jesus
and the light nobody in Jesus leads his
life pursuing truth he is truth he
didn't pursue it he's the standard of
truth
he doesn't submit the truth he is the
truth and the way a life now either he
is right he all right and everybody else
is wrong or they're wrong and he was a
nut because nobody would come proclaim
that if they were if they were saying
okay
Maury's God okay and I've heard this all
my life I grew up in the church I went
to retreats and stuff like that I've
heard that not a lunatic lord I've heard
it yeah I don't usually use that but
yeah okay at the same time like when you
go and you actually talk to the wrong
so what oh wow the biggest city I even
think I just said a dirty word saying
that somebody's wrong do you think I'm
wrong so my a bad guy for saying you're
wrong I am you can say I'm wrong but I
can't say you're wrong now welcome to
the postmodern world in fact can I just
ask you one more question why come on up
here alright come back here this is
gonna be a grand experiment for
post-modernism we live in the 21st
century we're all truth is valid truth
I'm gonna tell you we're gonna do a
little roleplay just pretend with me for
a moment but I want you to be yourself
still right
this is what I believe I believe that
the God of the universe is Elvis Presley
you know who he is yeah okay I believe
that it's Elvis Presley and I believe if
right before I die I sing you ain't
nothing but a hound dog three times I'm
gonna spend eternity in Graceland in the
Contiki room with Elvis eating peanut
butter and banana sin which is for all
of eternity
that's what I believe am I wrong thank
you very much how do you know anybody
but do you know anybody that's am I
wrong the intensity of my belief doesn't
make it so the object of belief makes it
so low do you hear the difference the
just because I really really believe it
people have been really really wrong
correct yeah right and that's okay just
the intensity of faith doesn't mean a
thing it's the object of faith and if
the object of faith is a carved Idol
it's a worthless piece of wood and if
it's not the creator of the universe who
says I'm the only one and I will not
believe in a God that will send my 11
year old friend sobha just because she
grew up in a Hindu country did hell I
can't sleep then learn the language do
you really care about her yeah okay this
is true then you'd learn the language
and you'd get over there right quick
okay see you you don't care that much
about her then apparently or you just
don't think it's true this
postmodernist of all roads don't lead to
the same place God would have to be do
you know what schizophrenia is okay
schizophrenia is you've got a bunch of
different personalities and you believe
a bunch of different things that just
you're all over the place God would have
to be that for that woman's statement of
statement to be true he'd have to be
dingy to say okay if you worship a piece
of wood that's okay if you kill somebody
in the name of Allah that's how you get
to heaven if you do really good and get
rid of your desires then you'll become a
part of the great big cosmic nothingness
or if you repent and put your trust in
Jesus then all of your sins will be
forgiven or if you rub the Buddha's
tummy that maybe you'll go into a place
and be reincarnated in the higher state
they don't all make sense that doesn't
make sense at all God would have to be
biggie to give out that different type
of direction he's not all of those
things he's one of those things so if
you want to take all the world religions
and put them right here here they got
all the world religions that say do good
and someday life will get better Jesus
stands over here and says you can't do
good you're bad you need to have your
sins forgiven and I'll rescue you
because I died on a cross if you will
repent and put your trust in me all of
your sins will be forgiven so here's
your choice either they're all right
Jesus is right or nobody's right there's
your choice so pick any one of these
that you want and work like nobody's
business to make up for your sins
somehow and you better hope that the
deed is in a good mood call out to God
and He will save you or just beg the
whole thing those are the three options
but don't put Jesus into this camp
because he doesn't put himself there he
says I am NOT like them there is no
other God but me so either submit to him
or reject him outright but don't just
say that he's another way because that
is not an option oh I am so surprised
that you are still here apparently
you've got a lot of free time if you
would like to get more wretched and who
wouldn't simply like this video
subscribe to this channel and we will
give you wretched till it's coming out
of your nose
