https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 58 CALLING GOD A LIAR - PART 2 I John 5:8–18 People can’t understand it. "From God’s people." I John 5:10a "He that believeth on the Son of God (that’s a perfect parallel with John 3:16) hath the witness in himself: (but the other side of the coin, the flipside) he that believeth not God hath made him (God) a liar; " A liar. Well, that’s what every unbeliever is doing with the Almighty God. And God cannot lie! Unbelief! Calling God a liar. All right, so I’m hammering home in the book of Isaiah – in fact I’ve got some of my Tahlequah people here – that all through the book you have the promises of God, but those promises all concern the future and so then we call it what? Prophecy. Promises and prophecy. All right, here’s a good example back here in Exodus now chapter 23. They’re going to be heading for the Promised Land that was promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob some 400 years earlier. All right now look what God says to Moses, Exodus chapter 23, let’s start at verse 20. "Behold, I send an Angel (now that’s capitalized so it’s the Angel of the LORD, which is God the Son) before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have (what?) prepared." God’s gotten it all ready! All right, read on, verse 21. 22. But, if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thy enemies, and an adversary unto thy adversaries. 23. For mine Angel…" "Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, (that is when they would get into the Promised Land now, don’t forget what we’re talking about) and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee; 26. Promises. Right now? Prophecy. Promise and prophecy. Right? God says: 29. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year ; lest the land become desolate,…" The land is just going to remain in production. What a promise! "By little and little I will drive them out before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land." What a promise! God’s been working 400 years to get this ready, well who’s been His workmen? The Canaanites! It’s a promise. Verse 31. 32. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods it would surely be a snare unto thee" All right, now there’s the promises and the prophecies spoken by God Himself. Numbers chapter 13, now God is ready to bring the prophecy into fulfillment. God said, "go in and take it." You know God has a directive will, I think, and He has a permissive will. Numbers 13:27 Numbers 13:28-29 (a giant type people.) Well that didn’t surprise God! Now verse 30. Numbers 13:30-33 The promises of God! They are spurning the Word of God. Now when you spurn the Word of God, what are you guilty of ? Unbelief. Unbelief! All right, next chapter just for a little bit before we move on. Numbers 14:1 2. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses, and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, "Would to God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God that we had died in the wilderness! What God said! Unbelief. The horrors of unbelief. No, God can’t lie. Let’s drop in at verse 8. Hebrews 3:8-9 Hebrews 3:10-11 11. So (God says) I sware in my wrath, (because of their unbelief) They shall not enter into my rest." Verse 12. Hebrews 3:12a unbelief,…" The most vile sin I think that a man can commit against our Holy, Creator God – to call Him a liar. All right, read on, verse 12 again. Hebrews 3:12-17 "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 17. But with whom was he (that is God) grieved forty years? The Golden Calf. Pure unbelief. I don’t care God if you did say it, we can’t do it. Hebrews 3:18-19 I can’t make it strong enough that when mankind calls God a liar, he is opening the gates of hellfire. Hebrews 3:19 unbelief." All right, now let’s come back to I John, chapter 5 again, now verse 11. I John 5:11 "And this is the record, (set in stone) that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." Well the same way with eternal life. Romans 8:16 Romans 8:17 "And if children, (if we’re born from above) then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." Now verse 18, what a promise from the pen of the Apostle Paul for us Grace Age believers! Romans 8:18 All right, now let’s stay in Romans chapter 8 and come on over to verse 35. All right, verse 35. We’re ‘in Christ. "We’re hid in Christ in God." #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
