Counterfeit Creation | Part 2

And I wanna get into something here that may be a little bit edgy, but our life, I said this last week, didn't come from some alien seeding the planet millions of years ago. And this is a pretty popular theory that is out there about where life came from. It's called panspermia. It's a theory that life was seeded here from from outer space, whether a a comet hit the earth or an asteroid or or this advanced extraterrestrial civilizations came and they they seeded the planet, and here we are today. Once again, this if you get anything today, get this. Our life came from God himself. And yes, obviously, my basis of truth is the word of God. [00:06:16] (42 seconds)  #LifeFromGodNotAliens

So now a lot of these sciences, and I'll get into them in a moment, are not necessarily bad. There's a difference between using technology to help humanity, watch this, and using technology to replace what God designed humanity to be. And when you think about that, the danger comes when humanity and mankind stop stops asking, can we do this and never asks, should we do this? And let me just tell you, the culture is pedal to the metal, full steam ahead. Whether you wanna think this is nutty stuff or not, this is where they're going.

Salvation is not god is even though the bible says we can have the mind of the spirit, God is not a mind, it is a spirit. And some I feel are struggling with their minds trying to comprehend God. And really, it's a change of heart and surrender. That's the first step. You need the spirit of God to change your heart. When your heart is changed, your mind becomes enlightened. You're here this morning. You've never surrendered your heart to God. I wanna encourage you to do that in this holy moment. Understanding comes. Knowledge comes. Desire to know God more comes when you surrender your heart to him. [00:31:37] (47 seconds)  #HeartChangeBeforeUnderstanding

We're here to share with you that, no, all of these things that happen were spoken about in the bible, believe it or not. And and, it strengthens our faith to know God is king and lord even though the enemy is out there to deceive. So now a lot of these sciences, and I'll get into them in a moment, are not necessarily bad. There's a difference between using technology to help humanity, watch this, and using technology to replace what God designed humanity to be. [00:10:21] (31 seconds)  #TechForHelpNotReplacement

So humanity is not an accident. It's not a cosmic contamination, if you will. If people ultimately, Satan, can convince humanity that we are just mere cosmic products, then identity and purpose, sin, redemption all become blurred in people's minds. And so, once again, our origin is not extraterrestrial, but it is divine. God almighty created you by his breath, his life. That means humanity carries god given life and breath. That doesn't mean everybody is saved. [00:07:31] (42 seconds)  #DivineOriginOfHumanity

But to me, that does not explain these verses in the bible that are just strange. Absolutely strange in the book of Jude or in second Peter. And then there's an extra biblical and when they found in Qumran, the Dead Sea Scrolls and all these manuscripts, this is the book of Enoch and others that actually Jude in the New Testament quotes. He pulls information from this book of Enoch. What does that mean? I think it's very interesting. And so that's the first view. Just traditional. It just became mankind was so wicked and immoral and god said, that's it. I gotta destroy everybody because of sin. [00:19:42] (38 seconds)  #AncientTextsAndJudgment

Now watch this. There's a couple of interpretations here and I'll just touch on them. The one view is the traditional view, the Sethites. And this is a teaching that is out there, and I've heard this most of my life, means humanity became morally violent, evil, sexually immoral, and continually wicked. The bible says in Genesis six five that every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually. I'm a touch on that in a moment. And so under this interpretation through the Sethites, they believe that corruption was primarily was just a spiritual and moral corruption. [00:19:01] (40 seconds)  #SethiteCorruptionView

So once again, this stuff, it it it's very impressive. But the moment or I should should say it this way, the movement becomes controversial when it moves from healing humanity to redefining it. And I think that's something and I wanna talk about that. And that's where I believe many Christians, we raise concerns. From a biblical perspective, the concern is not technology itself. Technology can be used for good or not. We see that with AI today in many ways. The deeper issue is humanity attempting to transcend God giving limits apart from God. Let me give you some biblical, background with this. [00:15:04] (42 seconds)  #RedefiningHumanityWarning
