Sep 28, 2024

Key Points from the Lecture

The Importance of Listening to the Master's Voice

  • Once the voice of the master is heard, one cannot turn back.
  • Emphasis on the doers of the law being righteous, not just the hearers (Romans 2:13).

The Irrelevance of Knowing Sin

  • Knowledge of sin is irrelevant if one still suffers the consequences.
  • The speaker describes a life of sin before conversion at age 24 and not knowing the scripture but still facing consequences.

The Theology of Experimental Knowledge

  • Raised to experiment with good and evil (tree of knowledge of good and evil).
  • Moral corruption results from experiencing sin firsthand.
  • Conversion led to a shift in understanding - the importance of eating from the right 'tree'.

Revelation 20:12 โ€“ Books of Judgment

  • Discussion on the Hebrew word "Cepher," Greek "biblion," and English "books."
  • The dead will be judged by what is written in the books, according to their works.

  • The relationship between the breaking of the Covenant and being blotted out from the book.
  • Moses asked to be blotted out for the people's sins, but Yahuwah states sinners will be blotted out.
