- When I was a little boy I'd climb my favorite tree and watch the shadows of trees length across the corn field. This Question crossed my mind many times, "Where did God come from?" No one ever answered better than Dr. Shadrach Meshach Lockridge.
All of his messages were preached with a deep theological insight, yet the simplicity of a common man.
I can't get enough of this man's preaching! God used Dr. Lockridge in mighty ways & truly gifted him!
One of the best.. He was truely a man of God and did his work according to Gods word But would ALWAYS throw in lil Gems like at around 3:58 of this video that finishes off by saying If God is dead why wasnt I notified Im a member of his family!!.. LOL!!....CLASSIC.. BUT. then gets rght bck to the sermon by going on to say THAT GOD IS SPIRIT!!
What a gift this man had!!
God Bless
Steve P Amen
Great preacher!!❤️👏🏾👏🏾.... we need more preachers like him. Please post more videos of him Thank u 🙏🏽
This sermon is as beautiful as it gets. It matters not if you agree with him or not. The force of his commitment to his Lord, Jesus Christ can not be denied. This is a true example of how men ought to preach, even today. He was truly skilled and eloquent in his understanding of the Word of God
great sermon pic sync... like a hand in a glove. Our Lord Jesus is coming soon... we will fly by those heavens that declare his glory and cross over Jordan. Warn the lost while you can! Now is the accepted time!
love this. no preaching of doctrine, ceremony, rules or laws. but jesus christ. amen
The reason God came from nowhere is that there was no where for him to come from
Wonderful preacher! Wow
...
Thank You Lord Jesus!
The Alpha and the Omega!!! The Great I Am! Amen
AMEN BARBER.. AMEN!!!
Barbara Barrs Amen
This is the preaching is done to reach lost souls. Moving
Great preacher who could also make you laugh a lot.
I love this! It's amazing!
I can't say nothing but God Bless the world. I have never heard something explained so elegant. If you don't believe God is Real, Alive and Well still doing Miracles today. RIP Pastor Lockridge 🙏
Amen....love the generals of God they really preached the true word
I know that I'm casting pearls before a swine but all that exists tells you that there is a God. It takes more faith to believe that there is no God. psalms 14:1 "the fool has said in his heart there is no God"
you just have to look at nature around you and you will see God everywhere
Amazingly powerful message
LOVE THIS MESSAGE!!!! :)
Powerful message!
Without Jesus, we are nothing.
Love this man. But in Gods eyes there are only two types of people, not four. Those who are lost and those who are saved.
PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST , THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND MERCY. WHOEVER IS HEAVY LADEN COME TO JESUS AND THE LORD OF LORDS KING OF KINGS WILL GIVE YOU REST ETERNAL REST .
There was nothing before GOD,GOD is eternal.
Well like I was saying before it does matter what u do after you have sincerely cried out or sought; from right after to maybe even a few days. If u go right back into what u'v been doin then u absolutely will not feel anything different or maybe even anything at all. With wanting to experience or feel a godly spirited life there has to come change in the life that u live, and it's hard sometimes and is different for everybody. You literally become reborn in a way.
all I need to know, is how is it the future is coming true of what the Holy Bible has been written many, many years?
AMEN🙏🏽
It confounds me that man can put so much study and focus on the hydrogen and helium of Neptune, rather than the God who put them there; that man can pour over the contents of the dust on the moon rather than the God who formed it with His word; that man can turn shooting stars and meteors into idols, things to wish upon, rather than take his requests to a sovereign, omnipotent, and loving God.
Amen n i receive it in name Jesus Christ.
wow what a decree of our JEUS SAVIOR......
Amen
Check out the new audio version of the "Amen" full sermon in it's entirety with incredible music score by keying in "S.M. Lockridge - "Amen" (That's My King) Full Audio Message"
"God came from nowhere" fits our current understanding of the universe better than the writers of scripture could have known.The Bible teaches an eternal God who can see all of time and created the created the universe.Physics shows us a universe that began.In it time and space subsist.All time exists just as space exists (though,thanks to entropy,it goes one way only).The eternal God who created it does stand outside time and space.First causes are needed only in time/space; God is uncaused.
Actually there will be a NEW earth. Bless you my brother.
LambsSlayDragons - Just exactly as "the certainty of the words of truth" are written in "the word of the Lord":
*"For, behold,*
*I create new heavens and a new earth:*
*and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."*
(Isaiah 65:17 ~ AV)
.
We're very much LIKE God, made in His likeness of emotion, consciousness, ability to love, compassion, etc. Just like children dont fully understand why their parents discipline them the way they do and dont let them do certain things and a lot of times they don't like it but little do they know its for their on good and they will grow to see and understand that one day.
and as far as the big bang:
Some galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this phenomenon in 1929. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted...
Inaccurate is different than not being able to find specific places/things, etc. either due to it being thousands of years ago or just unable to find. There will always be pieces of history where certain things are missing or unable to be recovered, even within the last 100-200 years. There's 2 main reasons, 1) it's being withheld from us because we're being controlled on wht we kno and that becomes more and more obvious each year, 2) because of the length of time gone by.
Simple answer to your question, nothing needs to force change. change itself is a constant. If existence was static we wouldn't be here. Your statement should be, reality without change cannot exist" but even that isn't true. Some sort of reality could exist without change, it would be a static thing that never changed.
33°✨#THANKYOU°™
It would make more sense to say that God created the big bang before I would ever believe that a big bang just happened.
It doesn't exist to us because we can only grasp what is within our senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling. So we know that death is real but we have no idea what happens in that state until it happens to us.
Again, I tell u that the proof of God is life itself.
My elderly neighbor likes to ask where did God come from as he is very anti-bible ect but I ask where did we come from? When you walk out at night and look up at the stars where did they come from? How did our complex bodies form? There is no doubt in my mind God is real even if man tries to do his best to deny it, I believe the bible is true and it says what it means and means what it says....I thank God that he saved me back in 1989 at the young age of 9....
The origins of a belief in "God" began when the ancient Hebrews walked the desert plains and questioned the origins of creation. It was imagined that in some way the SOURCE of CREATION must surely be a "superhuman man-god" invisible and far transcendent to earth and humankind. Some of the ancient Prophets were mystically aware that the Source of Creation was diffuse and present - in some way - throughout creation and was also sited in the eternal dimension but this mysticism was not available to the average human mind.
We must also understand that, despite the present "seeming reality" (in our minds) of such a "God" from the readings in the Bible, no one has ever glimpsed such a "superhuman man-god" in any form whatsoever, except, perhaps, Moses who claimed he saw Him in a "burning bush" and described Himself as "I Am that I Am".
All that people have known of such a "superhuman god" has been derived from reading the colorful descriptions of "God" given by Prophets during their sojourn on earth. It is a hallmark of how illusory are religious beliefs that religionists return only to the ancients for their "truth" since they cannot believe that "God" is truly real, eternal and equally able to speak to people in our day and age.
Their ministers are terrified of any beliefs which do not meld into the old ones. Their ministers never consider - or are afraid to consider - that perhaps spiritual knowledge within the earthly dimension - is evolutionary!
I want you to "see" that a "fabric of beliefs", a mixture of rationalizations and beliefs, has been concocted to make a web of mental/emotional security with which to enmesh and trap the minds and hearts of people. All that people are taught in the Christian faith is emotionally-based and emanates from "hearsay", derived from early reports of Jesus' life and death on earth. Yet these are believed fanatically.
CHRIST'S LETTERS from CHRIST'S WAY
We do not kno and cannot fathom anything outside of time/space which is wht we are born into. All we NEED to kno is that God was, is and is to come. So basically it's either a big bang "poofed" evrythng frm nthng caused by nthng and evrythng just hppnd to fall into place by perfect chance or there is an intelligent designer (God) who had purpose for life in the bginning in which we cannot grasp the thought of his eternity bcause we cant grasp eternity all together! or the end of space.
What happened to the audio before the end? Where's the rest of it? :-)
What an amazing passage to ponder!: Phillipians 2:5-8
"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Radiocarbon dating
"One of the most widely used and well-known absolute dating techniques is carbon-14 (or radiocarbon) dating, which is used to date organic remains. This is a radiometric technique since it is based on radioactive decay. Carbon-14 is an unstable isotope of normal carbon, carbon-12. Cosmic radiation entering the earth’s atmosphere produces carbon-14, and plants take in carbon-14 as they fix carbon dioxide. Carbon-14 moves up the food chain...
Carbon dating is absolutely NOT reliable. That's a fact.
@@garyg7549 And you would be incorrect GG.
What I mean was that the planets dont just float away, they don't just start turning another direction, etc. And we know that there is not life on any other planet because our space program has not found any in this universe or any real evidence of what COULD be, only false hopes. And if life and nature isn't evidence for an intelligent designer, what is it evidence for, a big accident cause by what? Made from what?
33°🌚THE-SON-OF-MAN✨™
if you don't understand it, perhaps it is because it doesn't make sense...go with that...do not settle for not knowing.
tell me, how would an 'all powerful, perfect god' need to "try" ANYTHING let alone "TWICE"? why couldn't it get it right the first time? why all the dramatics, pain, suffering, murder, torture, bloodshed, threats, and fear? "free will" does not have the "better of people"...people are merely HUMAN and we should not feel guilty for being such.
The sound needs fixing on this video it stopped short from the end :(
That's the end of this topic. He goes on preaching on something else for 45 minutes. This little snippet regards "where did God come from." Poor editing but here it is. Enjoy.
Not all theist, most say they blieve n smthng bcuz of whatever reason; popular, grown up with it, etc. theres a less amnt of actual true Christ-followers tht really pursue a real relationship wth the living God of all, and each one of those people will tell u just how evident and real it is to thm and ways they have seen God work in their life and give u their reasons for how they kno for a fact that God really is. I can't explain why nothing happened when u cried out, idk wht followed after tht
God is great aman
God is great amen
33°✨THE LIGHT JOHN SPEAKS OF IN THE BIBLE™
The purpose of scripture is not science but of moral conduct, practices to maintain and exceed ones relationship with God, the redemption of mankind thru Christ AND ultimately to let us kno tht we are not alone and tht there is a purpose for our creation and tht we do indeed have life after death, but the choice is ours where we end up; everlasting life with our heavenly father or eternity in a place where God is not, putting it simple. Also testaments of people before involving God in life.
I'm not assuming it, I firmly believe the biblical God (like His word says), spoke life into existence. It is clear that just by looking at nature and experiencing life itself that we have a creator that MEANT to create us rather than us being here and every good and perfect thing by chance/accident.
Light cannot create itself, something causes it, it isn't infinite. God is infinite. Being born into this world experiencing only time and space things like an almighty God can be unfathomable.
the BB does not suggest that it came from nothing nor that it "poofed" everything into existence, it merely describes the process by which what is came to be, not what happened before it or where it came from. as i stated, there are many hypotheses including multiple universe theory & the big crunch theory, both of which are far more intriguing than suggesting a 'god did it', for then one has to figure out where this god came from? grasp what your god was doing before it created everything?
...If the universe is flat and composed mostly of matter, then the age of the universe is
2/(3 Ho)
where Ho is the value of the Hubble constant.
If the universe has a very low density of matter, then its extrapolated age is larger:
1/Ho
If the universe contains a form of matter similar to the cosmological constant, then the inferred age can be even larger....
all the precious things in life we totally ignore and kill and disrespect why should GOD tell us where he came from considering where we tell each other to go.
Just like wht u said below "we cannot imagine wht IS that exists beyond our senses, beyond time/space. God is eternal and I would laugh at anybody who said tht they fully understand eternity bc all we experience is being born and then dying. Our human reality/existence and the universe itself is in definite need to have a foundation because of its mere being, and wht sense is it to say that it just began all on its own?
Reality without Will cannot exist. Infinite, absolute Will is the only constant capable of creating it's own variables. If the universe and reality is only composed of unguided laws of matter, energy, physics, time and space, how can anything come out of that without something forcing change? For example: If you stand an object on a table, it will remain on that table until acted upon some force, but if there are no rules governing that, how can it work?
GOD a reality with no beginning and a reality with no end. Everything else comes and goes everything. But God is, was and always will be. Defies the laws of everything known to man. Because man and all his ideals never come close to the level of the knowledge, wisdom or understanding of God. He never changes because he doesn't have to.
Wasn't only people in the Desert. The scriptures were written by more than one generation and 3 diff continents testifying of the Biblical God and Jesus Christ the savior of man.
Says the bible. And we are in no position and wont ever be to think along the lines of how an almighty god would think and reason. He sees way more ahead than we could ever. Evn at the age of being aware and understanding SOME discipline, there will be thngs they wanna do/try/go as preteens and teens but will upset and possibly NOT understand why the parent may not let them bc; simply bc they do not want them exposed to it, but one day they will make thr own decisions and they can figure it out
The evil in the world is caused by the freewill/freedom of choice by HUMAN. Perhaps God gave His creation the "benefit of the doubt" that if a renewed generation/population from righteous followers in Him we would learn and kno to be pure, and it worked for a generation but fell away from the will of God in living for themselves/ourselves and doubting God can do wht He has promised in his word and testimony.
Setting a standpoint/example/testimony for generations to come.
After that cry out of desperation in your time of distress what did you do? Right after to a couple of days after in regards to your seeking?
Yes, but carbon dating is only affective on previous living material up to 60,000 years old, not millions billions or trillions.
I understand that w/o faith in the god believed to have created life that mere life is not enough evidence for His existence, but at the same time... it's hard not to; for example driving through Utah or Wyoming and Visiting spots in Montana or beautiful places like that and not consider that it was designed for beauty and planned.
yes to your last question...and it is called "abiogenesis". how life actually began here though is still a mystery, but we do know no god was necessary for it to have began. we have recently discovered that there used to be water on Mars, so there is a possibility life has existed elsewhere in our solar system. there have also been some incredible discoveries of life living in places here on earth that were once thought impossible under such harsh conditions...life wants to live & finds a way.
Use the force Luke.
Theory is still not fact it's only potential or what "could be". One question that science itself cannot prove is why science happens at all in the first place. What causes this and that to happen? And what causes this and that to happen that way and this way? And what causes it to happen so perfectly without anything telling it to do so; weather, photosynthesis, the earth's rotation on its axis, etc. It's science indeed, but what created it?
and how do you know i have not sought a 'god'? ANY god? most atheists used to be religious, and i am no exception. both of my parents are christian and we attended church for several years. i have on several occasions opened myself up to any god willing to take me. even in my years of atheism a few years back in desperation & emotional distress, i threw myself down on the floor of a church owned by a pastor friend of mine & gave your god 1 last chance to show himself to me...and guess what...?
i have and found nothing but words written by ancient men that didn't know any better at the time...we do now and there is no excuse for the ignorance of 1st century desert dwellers in 21st century reality.
If I am speaking on behalf of the biblical God then yes. Though not physically a male or female or a human or any material of physical being, God is spoken of as 'he'. Christ is also a male.
I agree that we cannot evn fathom anything outside of wht we kno accordng to our senses. We don't know the full "side" of God either. How could one ever expect to fully understand an almighty God; the intelligent designer who created life in general and what's beyond this world? It's more than just saying "I believe God did this and that", there's an actual interactive personal relationship and enlightenment with Christ/God, The Ancient of Days, etc. and it's real.
just because light does not automatically appear when you walk into a room does not mean it can not create itself, though there is just as much evidence to suggest that light can create itself as there is for your god. Ernst is ONE scientist in 6 million, & making up evolutionary drawings is far different than having physical evidence that is agreed upon & corroborated by the vast majority of accredited peers in their field. their findings are not just hearsay, they are supported by EVIDENCE.
This is great but the sound track goes quiet at 13:43!
This is part of a much longer sermon. This little 13 minutes covers where did God come from. Crude editing but it is what it is. Enjoy.
And I say the same thing right back to you. Wht makes the Bibles say so true is that Christ actually lived and B.C/A.D (after death or Anno Domini -year of our Lord), the scriptures and scrolls found are a testament to his life and his teachings. No other God claims sovereignty, no other God has written testament, no other God made a sacrifice for his creation, and no other God tries to have a personal relationship with his creation. There's more agnosticism and atheist than true Christians.
Instead of trying to write anything of confirmed findings linking to biblical history, just take some time and watch this for yourself. The video is called 'Creation and Miracles, Past and Present (full length)'; Mt Sinai, Noah's Ark, Chariot parts found in the Red Sea, etc.
No, this country was founded on the belief of the biblical God, take "In God We Trust" stamped on our currency for example. This country was founded with the freedom of choice in belief which is slowly being exercised to be taken away, but their understanding in the beginning is no doubt a belief being wiped away by the idea of more power to the government(s) now days. I stand by my proof of life itself and laws of nature, science and the moral code being proof enough for Almighty God.
@FrickinChillB Nobody or anything created God my friend, He is infinite. He was, He is and is to come. We are born into time/space, so we only have concept of time running out and getting older, that doesn't apply to the God who created the existence of life.
Yes, but is only affective up to 60,000 years.
Well from what you've been sayin it would seem as tho believing that God created life takes a lil more work rather than being lazy. Work as in belief, faith itself, and working against the grain of the more accepted explanation of the big bang theory.
Straight from the IMAGINATION.
YAAAAAAWN
I didn't evn watch that whole thing, just the first minute is wht I was talking about showing a couple of the archaeological findings the coincide with biblical events.
🌌
why does everyone assume that god is what is outside of time space.
Creation man. We're without excuse to not know that God is there just by being alive, seeing the creation of nature and existence itself. From every good and perfect simple thing to every good and perfect complex thing that works just right for what it's supposed to in every area and aspect of universe and life. The planets in perfect suspension spinning in opposite directions of each other. The only planet with life on it just the perfect distance away from the sun/moon, and the list goes on!

...Morphology shows us how organisms adapt ancestral features to new uses, even when there are more efficient solutions elsewhere in nature.
Genetics shows us that we can group species by similarity of genes. These groups even share unused DNA.
there is still debate that the earth is flat.
The same or similar DNA just means it was a common creator. Car manufacturers uses the same materials for tires on all their cars, and the same material for the fenders and roof on all their cars. The Interiors have the same Carpeting and vinyl and leather. It means there was one car maker.. Ford or Chevrolet or whatever.
@@garyg7549 So, you are a car GG?
@@flashoftruth the analogy I'm using is that in creating something you can use the same materials to make many different things. God may use the same skin on a pig that he uses on a person. Do the millions of different animals all have to have millions of different parts and materials?
@@flashoftruth so after 7 years I'm assuming many conversations like this, you are still not sure of God existence? Okay well I'm going to get out while I can LOL. I'm sure a lot smarter guys than me have tried to explain the hope that lies within us. I better quit now before I'm humiliated beyond recognition. I wish you well.
@@garyg7549 //the analogy I'm using is that in creating something you can use the same materials to make many different things//
Then that would not be "creating" but rather rearranging, and it STILL DOES NOT ANSWER WHERE IT ALL CAME FROM?
//you are still not sure of God existence?//
Oh, I am sure alright, sure that it does NOT exist.
And I have been an atheist for almost 50 years now.
Why would God give us freewill but only limit us in when and how we use it? Mary was not. The happenings on Calvary Hill is not the ONLY proof and reason to believe that Gods word is indeed God's word... but it's enough. Otherwise Christ's sacrifice would be in vein, why would he die when he was given multiple chances to renounce and save himself, unless the cause was/is indeed real? I don't know why Mary was chosen specifically, something God saw in her.
when people get cancer, why does god leave, when we have money, god is there asking for us to pay for his light bill in the damn church. if I was a god I would get rid of cancer so that children can see there great grandparents and all other diseases. life is not like a bubble, life is the energy that blows the bubble.
But what makes it official that their calculations are indeed accurate and correct. There is nothing to show anything that goes back that far. Grasping the idea of 14 billion years ago is the same as grasping that the biblical God has always been and always will be. The calculations change like every year, and not in a consistent matter. its 3 billion, then 10 million, then 10 billion, and then other sources say 20 or 40 million or billion. ???
You ask me if I know how many "possible solar system are out there", that is impossible to know, there may not be any, it's anybodies guess. We don't know and won't know. People can make up all the "science" in the world to support their claim, but that doesn't ever change the question of 'where did that science come from?' EveryTHING has to have a creator and a cause, it doesn't just poof into existence like the big bang theory claims.
which is why they use a different method for that.
"An alternative approach to estimating is the age of the universe is to measure the “Hubble constant”. The Hubble constant is a measure of the current expansion rate of the universe. Cosmologists use this measurement to extrapolate back to the Big Bang. This extrapolation depends on the history of the expansion rate which in turn depends on the current density of the universe and on the composition of the universe...
No sin goes unpunished because the servant would learn nothing if you knew God you would not being ask such questions and saying such things. You should be happy he died and rose for us because he could have just got rid of us for wanting to be him. Just like you said "if i was god" its quotes like that is the reason why we suffer. Take his salvation and stop cursing him. After you give it to him don't fear cancer dying or hell because you are now saved.
"An intelligent designer wasn't needed to create life", then tell me, how exactly was ANYthing created? Including matter, energy, etc? I and nobody else can say what was before life on earth, we cant, plain and simple. We've never been to mars and it doesn't look like we will anytime soon so as far as we know it life as we know it is unable to be supported on any other planet but earth.
@Flashoftruth why are you on this video then dude. Why waste your time trying to tell everybody something they will never change on.
FEAR, I believe all the sorry Atheist believers feel the need to continuously attack Christianity to keep from losing it's membership. A desperate attempt for nothing. Whoever belongs to God will Be God's. He chose us before the foundation of the world.
This is my husbands account and google took it from him n won’t let him back as the account holder.
What year and state of technology are we in and we still can't figure out exactly how the pyramids were built and a few other ancient monuments in an ancient time, seems as tho technology isn't all that reliable with everything, just sayin. Or we're not as smart as the "bronze aged men" in certain things which even back then recognized God, and some maybe not the heavenly God but they still new that life came from A god somewhere.
I hv kind of a strange response. 1) I'm no theologian so thr r indeed thngs I cant begn to expln whre/how and God's real reasoning for certain thngs tht maybe don't make sense now. 2) The inspired word of God (Bible), is very controversial anyway and looked down upon more and more as time goes on bc of its teaching against wht the statuesque desires, and with a lack of technical explanation from myself I would say that trial could go either way; Ephesians 6:19 is specific to tht exact situation.
where is the transcription
Because that is jumping to a conclusion. We have no way of knowing anything about the nature of reality beyond time and space. It doesn't even make sense to ask questions about such things because we can only understand a temporal reality. Just the act of creating the universe requires time so to say a god did it is invalid. The universe is all that exist. It simply went from one state to another and we don't really know much about it in general so god is an invalid assumption in my opinion.
