Albert Mohler: The Truth Shall Set You Free

The prevailing thought of modern Western society is that truth is relative, particularly when it comes to religious and ethical issues. Nevertheless, everyone lives as if there are objective, unchanging standards of truth. In this session, Dr. Albert Mohler defends the reality of objective truth.

[mikemccormick]

Thank you Father for this man of truth. So refreshing to hear. I can't get caught up in the views of the world today. Simply stick to Jesus with courage.

[mosesotieno]

Wonderful sermon, God bless you Dr mohler.

[pprinkey]

Well said. We must preach the truth for the few that desire it, and hunger for it.

[dontroutman]

Yes, Jesus said, “I am Truth”, and I believe that He is Truth🙏🙏🙏 . . . I’m afraid I have little idea what Dr. Mohler is talking about. But don’t misunderstand, I have great respect for his teaching concerning God’s True Word!!!

[deneseshepherd]

Truth is not a gathering of facts; but the Person of Jesus Christ! Every answer is in Him. Apart from Him, there are no Facts of Truth; only truthful facts.

[nikeshsolanki]

Re the 1st minute: faith in the Christ is not based on the truth of propositions but rather the truth of a person, that person being the Messiah.

One of my favorites figure in the Bible is Apostle Paul, simply because he is a man of his words. In all honesty, if he were to find out the kind of nonsense he was being put into, just for the satisfaction and the glory of a pariah, that had absolutely nothing to do with everything that comes out of his mouth, I bet he would have had issues with God, as an absolute accomplice in the senseless violence he had been participated in, and of which, he himself became a victim of, thinking it was all, for the glory of God. Think about the devotion of such a good, and laborious servant of God, who deliberately did all he could to advance what he thought was God’s will, wether engaging lawfully to counteract what he saw according to the laws of Judaism as a blatant violation of the laws that God gave them through his prophets, that were to be permanent, and their violations were, in most cases, punishable to death. In the heat of that battle, God himself called him, and miraculously asked him to switch side. Funny enough, hearing about the tenacity, and vigor of Paul in the exercise of his function to apprehend, and incarcerate the Christians, the person God appeared to enlist Apostle Paul, refuses to even go, at first, fearing what that might mean to him. If history is right, which we believe it is, Paul becomes one of the most prolific preachers, if not the most, even to the perils of his life, and was not alone. Now, after going through all that, regretting what he has done prior to becoming a Christian to the Christians, and engaging vigorously in the fight to propagate the message of salvation through Jesus-Christ, where his well-being was being put in jeopardy, being incarcerated many times, beaten badly, and finally succumbed to death, he kept strong as ever before, to get to heaven to find out that Jesus was a joke, I don’t think he would be happy with God. Would you? Leading a fierce battle, simply to later realize that your leader was a complete idiot, and you were fighting for the wrong reason, cannot be a joke. That is the biggest dilemma with culture, it could be the source of, both, good and evil, depending where it comes from and how you view it. Being from the West today, you certainly would not have waited a second, before thinking that the bastard named Saul, leading the charge against the Christians is savagely wicked, and his views of the Christians as outlaws is ridiculous and sickening. What we often fail to understand, Saul did not pull out his belief in thin air, that would mean, someone must have indoctrinated him, whom he thought was God. Was he wrong that the laws he was trying to uphold were from God, through Moses and the prophets? If so, then Judaism would have been meaningless. Such claim also would have denied Israel claim that they are the heirs of their patriarch Abraham, as believer in God, I believe they are, otherwise, they would have been vanished from the surface of the earth. That simply tells you one thing and one thing only, too much senseless games surrounding religious beliefs, selling yourself one way or the other could be catastrophic. Moses has disappeared from Mount Sinai, where do you think he went? I would assume to heaven. And did Jesus come from? I would think from heaven. Unlike his lie, telling us, he could give his life and take it back, we know God resurrected him from the dead, and ascended him back to heaven. Shortly thereafter, from one of the places nearby Israel, comes a prophet called, Muhammad, after debunking many of Jesus’ lies, he, too, was ascended to heaven from the very same city where the self-proclaimed Messiah went up to heaven. That was a total blow to the so-called begotten son of God, which, Muhammad portrays as one among the rest of the idols, thus comes the fight of the faithful vs the unfaithful. As if the bloody fight between the Christians and those of the Judaism was not enough, with the coming of such a powerfully blowing wind of the Muslims, humankind again, finds itself grappling with an other religious conflict. While the force of the mighty winds pounding upon the world of religion, seems to calm down for the most part, from times to time, we can see the resurgence of those winds seeking to disrupt any progress that might have been made. If there is only one God, and that God is not hiding somewhere, and let some pariahs leading the show, that they have no business being in, then, how we get to the point where we are, with disastrous beliefs that any level-minded individual would have thought to be beneath the integrity of a just God? Who is to blame? Agree or disagree, something ridiculously barbaric is going on between God and his nemesis or probably his frenemies, until, he sets the records straight, and put them where they belong, we are in for a long ride.

He made a little bit of a mess of Kant. Phenomena = things known by the senses; noumena means knowable by the intellect only (nous is intellect in Greek). So equations would be noumenally known, for instance. Kant was certain of 'the moral law within him', so it is far from demonstrated that he was in any way atheist. There's lots more I could say but look Kant up on line instead!

Janet Mefferd Today. Nov. 4, 2019 Whats Going On In The Southern Baptist Convention? This episode deals with Al Mohler. He is not conservative. He's progressive and he is blown in the wind by politics, and not theological convictions.

If everyone were to be judge by their words, in connection to their actions, I wonder, if the mouth who first uttered those words, wouldn’t be condemned for knowing what the right from the wrong, while purposely chooses to do the wrong. If his Heavenly Father, as he often pretends to call him, were to hold his feet in the fire, for knowingly engaged himself in some of the worst nefarious acts, along with his pals in heaven. Maybe, as humans beings, anyone of us here on earth can be a far more better judge to those nasty ones up there than God can ever be. Since he never wastes a minute to tell us how bad we are, you would have thought his house up there would be clean, think again. If you ever come close to the Messiah of his, he is the epitome of nastiness, a barbaric figure and the rest of them combined cannot make for one holy creature. Just to give you an idea of how bad they are. I try to imagine with what face, God dares telling us to be holy as a prerequisite to get to heaven, when they’re trashy as hell up there. According to God, he has no angels but devils. I wonder, since he still manages to keep them, why not calling himself the head of the devils? That would be a lot more appropriate, since he himself admits that is who they are. What does God has to lose, if he were to expelled every single one of them for their sheer stupidity, and avidity? It bothers me a lot to hear anyone magnifying those shitty creatures, as if they are more godly than God, when we far exceed them in anything having with morality and modesty. We glorify these morons way too much, we might need to wait to get to heaven, to see with our own eyes, make our own observations of them before praising those craps like that. If God were to treat them the same way he deals with us, those craps would have been in hell, with no exceptions whatsoever. Based on the conversation I heard coming out of God’s own mouth to Jesus, if he does not stop doing what he sees him doing, he will finally have a bone to pick with him. The list is long, if the God we know of, were the very same God, they know. They would have either choose to respect themselves, or they would have been expelled longtime ago. I have all my life trying my best to respect the principles I thought were from God, I might not have been 100/100 true to that, but I can reassure you, I have tried my best. Having been aware of some of the nonsense perpetrated by those nefarious creatures up there, I begin loosing respect even for God. Their business wouldn’t be mattered to me had they did not involve me, or any fellow human being. But studying the bloody history of Christianity, its clashes with Judaism and later with the Muslims, and to know all those who died, were simply because of the foolishness of those craps called angels, under the guidance of Jesus, and God wouldn’t hold them liable, that Got under my skin. To these days, people are still going trough hell, not because they do anything wrong, simply because they are Christians. To know, it is just for the heck of it, it is beyond ridiculous. The very same Jesus we are worshipping, should not have been even in heaven, if God was not playing around with him. What kind of nonsense is that? And yet, you cannot count how many innocent people who died just because of him. I tell you that, if you ever come close to God, if you can remember, ask him pointedly about that. Not necessarily here on earth, but, face to face on heaven, where you have guarantee that you’re indeed talking to God. Any angel could lie to you as they please in dreams, or Jesus himself, since he is still out there, running his show. But in heaven, face God directly and ask him. I know I am telling the truth, but there are so many lies out there, the perpetrators of those lies are still at large. With all the nonsense we’re told about Jesus mainly in the book of Revelation, where he tells us he will reign as the king of kings, and the lord of lords for ever and ever. Look for his kingdom, if that doesn’t exist anywhere in heaven, you have to ask God, where is he? What about His crowning ceremony, when we have to put down our cross and be crowned as well. If that doesn’t take place, ask God where is Jesus? Don’t take my words, these words of Jesus, if they are true, they must come to pass. Now, why I say all that? Imagine a kid hiding somewhere you can’t see, talking in the voice of your parents, ordering to do stuff that your parents would have asked you to do, and when you get to see him, to find out, it was just a kid. Having bowed down before Jesus, is in and of itself disrespectful. God himself has forbidden such acts. For Jesus to openly makes us worship him, that only, should have landed him in hell. Not only we never should have worshipped a creature, but Jesus himself, by all standards is a lot dirtier than any human being you can think of. Him dying on the cross, was nothing short of a payback, for his attempt to force Abraham to murder his own son Isaac, under the name of God. Furthermore, it was a repudiation of his claim as being equal to God, to whom he desperately begged for help, without success. Upon his resurrection, the big hole he showed Thomas on his side, is the hallmark, to remind him of foolishness looks like. Unfortunately, he still hasn’t learned a thing. If so, the book of Revelation would not have written. Portraying himself as powerful as God, in his many lies to John, simply explains that Jesus never got the memo. It is fair to say, not just him, but the whole cast up there. Why I want anyone reading this to directly ask God about that, should you remember when you get to heaven, is simply because we have endured way too much for the stupidity of creatures of there, for things we have nothing to do with. They become inflated with pride, they see themselves as important, when they are just trash. If anything, they should have been swept and get dumped somewhere in hell already. I hope they get what they’re truly deserve, those craps called devils, or angels. May we love ourselves, respect each other, and reject once and for any nonsense, deemed to have come from God, when in fact they seek to create chaos, troubles amongst ourselves.

Good bye Dr Mohler. I guess we won't be seeing you in future ligonier conferences.

[gregorypaul]

The relationship between heaven and earth, is very much like the day and the night, in some remote places on earth, where their electricity remains the moon and the stars. That would mean, under a dark sky at night time, you find yourself totally in the dark and can hardly find your way around, if you’re not accustomed to that particular area without a flashlight. By that I mean to say, a lot of things going on in this world, would never have happened if only, God did his job, by shutting down his devils or angels outside of the world, knowing how crappy and nasty they are. Instead, with his constant playing around with them, and his refusal to ever hold them liable for their purported and deliberate acts of nonsense, this is where that gets us. Tell me if the Jesus, bragging about him being able to give his life and take it back as he wants, if he wants, and when he wants, is the same Jesus after his resurrection? When pressed on the corner stone of preaching, the essence of everything, they believed in him for, his return to glory which he previously told them that some of them would not have passed away before, before that comes to pass. His answer to them was blunt, it is up to God to decide, when he will put an end to the world. It is worth noticing here, he did not say “father, ” but uses instead the title of the divinity. Why? Of all the literature you were accustomed to hearing him using when it comes to his narration of the things going on in heaven and how harmonious was his relationship with the creator, that he often uses the awesome title to express his affection and respect for him, what changes, all of the sudden? Something sounds odd here, why was he so blunt about that? The professor of love, doesn’t sound so lovely here, why is that? If God is spirit, we know they are not husbands and wives up there, that means there cannot be progeny where there isn’t intimacy. Then, how Jesus goes to being the one and only son of God, in heaven, where he himself tells us, husbands and wives, are not allowed in heaven? We assume he might have been talking from a very solid rapport between the two of them that might have differentiate him from the rest. But, he went as far as to tell us, he was not only present when God was creating everything, but he was in God, that would mean what, from a divinity perspective? That would mean that he was inside of God? Some theologians will tell you, just like our soul resides inside of our body, just so Jesus resides in God. But, he doesn’t stop there, he went on to tell us, he was also the word of God. That what some calls the “Logos”, and others call “the angel of God.” Now, the most brilliant one of his appellation would have been, “the logos, ” I wonder if Jesus were to read that himself, would he even understand who that was about ? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that his words have been misinterpreted, I simply mean to say, that dude did not even know what he was talking about. That is the dilemma with God. By flaunting himself to feel big about himself, and brag about how smart he is to have made us worship him, he embarked himself into a flurry of nonsense, that he himself couldn’t explain if he were to be pressed on them, not by zealous sycophant, but by level-headed individuals seeking to understand the true meaning of his doctrine. You can’t be in God, be God and was with God at the same time? What kind of nonsense is that? I would have agreed to the intricacies of his divinity, as he apparently wants to lead us to believe, if he was not shaking, pacing, and sweating profusely when he was clear to him, they were coming for him, and he so desperately asking for help, from the very same person he claims to be. If true, he was doing voluntarily as he claimed, it would have been mindless for him to have desperately seeking help. Even at the last minute, when the shadow of death was coming, who was he crying to? The very same person, he wants us to believe he was? Hm, I don’t think so. Someone must have been lying, and finally, his lies were about to catch up with him. Growing up in a Christian family, I would have been the last human on earth, to have said anything remotely offensive to God and anything associated with God, but, after years of demagoguery, and nonsense on Jesus’ part to kill me and my dad, for reasons I did not know, not until recently when God, alongside of him appeared to me, for some more nonsense that I resent profoundly, that I realized what a joke God was, and what a fool his angels or devils make of us! I don’t care how foolish your Jesus is, you cannot condone his actions for the countless loss of lives, that he is responsible for. As creator, you simply should not have sent him to do what you knew he was going to do, if in fact, you know he is foolish. After the devastation caused by him, you want to turn a blind eye on him, alleging he is foolish, you couldn’t have done any worse than that. Furthermore, you don’t need to have first hand information about their fantasies in heaven to see how ferociously to elevate themselves to the divinity, in light of the erratic description of Jesus with regard to his nature. Since a compulsive liar doesn’t necessarily keep track of all his lies, we can see the many conflicting messages that his mouth uttered. However, after dancing around during his time on earth around his identity, and the complete turnaround subsequent to his resurrection and ascension to heaven, in the book of Revelation, when his divinity becomes official. Clearly, Jesus has something in his mind. Just like here on earth, a coup cannot be carried out overnight, it must have been on the works for some times, wether, you succeed or fail. Being aware of the maneuvering of some kind of plan, and not being part of it, doesn’t necessarily mean you wouldn’t want to part of it, nor that you would never have participated in the execution of such plans, should you have certainty that you would succeed. I wonder, if that was not what was brewing beneath the surface, even after the expulsions of those declared bastards from heaven. Regardless, what I detest the most, is that God plays too much with them, and should have sent them all straight to hell, for their stupidity and utter nonsense. If God’s compassion were available, it should have been for us, not those heinous bastards. We deserve better from God, and never should he have treated us the way he did, for nonsense we have absolutely nothing to do with. You can’t declare a verdict against the oppressed, when the oppressors are at large. The kind of machinations used by God, to find himself a justification for his verdict, is flat out nonsense. If they brave enough to try to overthrow you, why can’t you pile them up and throw in hell? You need no escape goat for that, pain isn’t fun, you cannot be playing around like that. By you setting up such nonsense precedence, you now have to cope with them engaging in homosexuality in heaven, despite they know what you have done to us for committing the same thing, and what do you do ? Ship them down on earth to persecute as they wish, in an attempt to find yourself a justification to ever hold them liable. What do we have to do with their actions in heaven? Here we go again, same scenario as the garden of Eden. Why are they so special? We might as well learn how to be foolish to be on your good grace, maybe we would get a congratulatory notes from you, for anything nonsense we engage ourselves in. Come on, God . We are not just dust from which you created us, we can feel pain and sorrow. Please, remind yourself of that. No one would have wanted to treated as such by their creator, blame us for our sins, but not those of your favorites. This is ridiculous, and disrespectful, get your acts straight.

Disappointing to see this. I hope Ligonier Ministries soon cuts official ties with Al Mohler.
