-
Yeah. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word?
-
Do you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible?
-
If so, like, share, subscribe and support this podcast. So
-
we are mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome,
-
ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the fellowship tonight. We're doing
-
a special request from Darlene that's come about this conversation,
-
come about last week, and it's it's pretty important for
-
us to look at it. Very simple thing. But you know,
-
most people, when I do this in a classroom setting,
-
the title alone catches him by surprise. What do you
-
mean by that? The miracle of belief? Well, it really
-
is that simple when this does not take a whole
-
lot of information. The original language here for the Greek
-
is really quite simple. It's not hard to deduce or
-
deduct what's going on. But Darlene had this question last week, Well,
-
what did that mean whenever Jesus was restricted? How can
-
you restrict the Son of God? How is that possible?
-
But Darlene brought this up from oh Mark chapter six
-
and Matthew chapter thirteen. But you know, let's do this
-
from the first one Mark chapter six, verse six, and
-
he being Jesus marveled at their unbelief. When you go
-
to the Sister chapter there in Matthew chapter thirteen, verse
-
verse fifty eight will poke you in the eye. It's
-
not a very nice verse. It's the truth, That's what
-
it is. It's the truth. And it's verses like this
-
that the how do I put that politically correct? The
-
Church as a whole will reject They will avoid this
-
like the flag. But this is what it reads in
-
the New King James version. Now he being Jesus, Now
-
he did not do many mighty works there because of
-
their unbelief. That's that's the stird. What does that mean
-
when you tear that apart? What can that possibly mean? What?
-
Let's ask Tammy Jammy, what does that mean.
-
That they didn't have the faith, so he didn't he
-
couldn't do any work. I mean, they didn't believe him.
-
Well, I appreciate that, but that's misdirection, and I don't
-
appreciate misdirection. So so Jesus could not do miracles.
-
That's not what I'm trying to say.
-
Well, that's what I'm trying to ask.
-
Oh no, no, he wouldn't do it because of their unbelief.
-
Does that make better sense?
-
Oh, he wouldn't do it because of it? And what
-
was the cure for this unbelief? Faith?
-
I mean, they needed to know, know that you believed
-
that he was the Messiah.
-
Well, that's that's that's actually one of the best answers
-
I've ever got. Even though I don't think you realize
-
what you said, You're right, they needed to know. How
-
is it that you can know something.
-
When you when you study the word and you know
-
what it says, we'll put it, you write it on
-
your heart, and you know it, you know that it's true.
-
Well, let's talk about what Jesus actually did. Okay, because
-
I already I already read it to you. It was
-
a first verse I read. I already read it to you.
-
This is how Jesus cured their unbelief. Okay, listen, It
-
comes right out and tells you, and he marveled because
-
of their unbelief. By the way, that's a very strange
-
word in Greek. It's the same word you use for apostasy.
-
It says, and he marveled because of their unbelief. Then
-
he went about the villages in a circuit teaching. Didascal Yeah,
-
everybody's been running around for for for their whole life
-
for decades, when the answer was right here in front
-
of the whole the whole time. The cure for unbeliefs
-
is to teach. I mean, that's what it said, he did, right,
-
And I appreciate the Greek here that uses this cool
-
word here in English circuit, that is to say, he
-
did so systematically. He systematically taught them. So all right,
-
we can all go home. Right, we were done, right.
-
I mean, I've already told you what this unbelief is.
-
But take note, the root word here is histica. This
-
word here is uh. It's because it has a prefix alpha,
-
which is a negative particle. So take note, faith and
-
belief is the same thing, the same exact word in Greek,
-
same word repeatedly here in a scripture. Take note Luke
-
chapter seventeen, verse five, and the apostles said to the Lord,
-
increase our faith. What is that? It's that root word
-
there Here's the Greek is histicis. So it doesn't have
-
that negative article because if you put that that a
-
on in front of it, to put that prefix on it,
-
it becomes unbelief. So faith and belief is the same thing,
-
not knowing and unfaith or lack of faith. It's the
-
same thing, the same thing in Greek, it's the same thing.
-
So that makes for a really short Bible study, right
-
when you realize that faith and belief is the same, exact, same,
-
exact thing. Unbelief is apostasy. That's what that is. That's
-
where apostasy comes from. Is this word with the negative
-
prefix on it alpha what it is? So this has
-
all to do with knowing. You thought it had more
-
to do with faith. No, it's knowing. It's always been knowing.
-
That's why for the entire duration of my ministry, which
-
stretches all the way back to Sunday School, all the
-
way back to Sunday School. Yes, there were times when
-
as a teenager, I had to teach the younger classes.
-
So when I say that, that's really what I've been
-
This ministry has gone back all the way there to
-
my teenagers. The first time I preached in a pulpit,
-
I was sixteen. From that point forward, I had to
-
preach one Wednesday night per month, so that's a pretty
-
long time. And that's why the whole time I have
-
always stated this, I don't believe the Bible. You can
-
I don't believe it, I know it. There's a whopping
-
big difference between just whimsiculdly believing something and knowing it
-
the big difference. But most people can't make that connection
-
because the church at large won't touch this with a
-
ten foot pole. They will most assuredly indoctrinate you as
-
to how they've segregated you from the body of Christ.
-
Now that they'll do do their utmost. For instance, how
-
many churches, now by churches, I mean different denominations, okay,
-
how many different denominations have a catechism or they have
-
a confirm classes? What do they actually do in those
-
confirmation classes? If you're going to a particular church that
-
has a name out front, they indoctrinate you as to
-
how they've segregated you from all the other denominations. That's
-
what they do, literally, professionally, that's what they do. It
-
is the sole purpose of the district level mechanation that
-
runs your denomination. That's the purpose that they serve. That's
-
why one of the best churches you can go to
-
is a church that is a congregational church. What does
-
congregational mean? Many people that have gone to Baptist churches
-
know exactly what I'm talking about. They don't have no district.
-
The church governs itself, Every congregation governs itself. Because of course,
-
they quickly figured out that dis seminaries have been overran
-
by atheists. I have met them at nauseum. When I
-
mean at nauseum, that's exactly what I mean. At nauseum.
-
People and pastorates, people that hold bishop positions. Oh yes, atheists,
-
full blown atheists, but they have their credentials in that
-
denomination and they're running your church. Oh yes, they are.
-
So that's why this is going on. That's why you
-
don't know this. That's why this, this mystical element has
-
been attached to the word faith. Not in Greek, it's belief,
-
it's belief. I mean, let me ask any of you
-
this very simple question. Is the sun hot that you know?
-
You know that the sun is hot. It will burn
-
you and it will blind you if you focus on it.
-
I mean, most of you know that fire is hot.
-
You know so instinctively, instinctively you will instinct you don't
-
even have to think about pulling your hand away from
-
something that's hot. You don't have to think about it
-
it's a reflex. It's a reflex. When you pick up
-
a dictionary, you read it a different way, don't you, Yes,
-
you do. You read it a different way. Everyone that
-
I've ever met got into a classroom, have them take
-
out a dictionary, open it to any entry, and start
-
reading it. They would read it a different way than
-
they would read Matthew chapter thirteen. Oh yes they would.
-
I mean, it amazes me how people think that the
-
authority is the encyclopedia. They actually think that the authority
-
of the encyclopedia supersedes the Word of God. Right here,
-
I've got the complete encycled Encyclopedia Britannica, complete set, all
-
the macropedia included. This one is Micropedia number two. I'm
-
just going to open it up anywhere. Let's read this. Okay,
-
bulb rot widespread disease infecting all flour and crop bulbs,
-
caused by a variety of fungi and new bacteria. Let
-
riddle me this, Riddle me this. You take that as
-
the gospel truth? Don't you? Just because I read it
-
in Encyclopedia Britannica, number two, page six sixteen, Just because
-
I read it out of there, you you believe this
-
more than Matthew Chapter fifteen. Don't lie? Yes you do,
-
Yes you do? Why Why is that? Why is that?
-
Why is it that I have to explain to you
-
what a very simple versees, And when I've read it,
-
you can't get no more simpler than what I read.
-
You just quite simply can't get any simpler than that.
-
You really can't. Mark Chapter six, verse six, And he
-
marveled because of their unbelief. Then he went out about
-
the village in a circuit eaching. But yet I read it,
-
and it blew right passed you. But when I picked
-
up the Encyclopedia Britannicut and started reading to you the
-
entry on bulb rot, you digested it. You absorbed it,
-
didn't you? Why is that? Why did you absorb some
-
stupid article about bulb rock in plants? And I'm marvel
-
after Tammy. She actually got it first, when I ever
-
asked this question to and she said she actually used
-
the word no, She used the word to know. I
-
marvel after that. So there's nothing mystical about this word faith.
-
In Greek, it means to know. And the cure for
-
this is teaching the dustcal and Greek to teach. It's
-
that simple. I mean, we can go through all these
-
chapters that I've got here. I've got Luke seventeen up,
-
Matthew seventeen, Mark nine. We can go through all these
-
and pick them apart. But before I read it, are
-
you going to believe it? Or will you reject it
-
out right? Because somebody has taught you to do so?
-
Because all those people that's taught you to do so,
-
they are rejectionist. Do you know what a rejectionist is?
-
You don't even know, do you. I'll tell you what
-
a rejectionist is. Percent of all churches are rejectionists. Will
-
teach you that what they say supersedes what God's word says.
-
The rejectionist they won't come out and tell you that
-
because they speak in the tongue of their father. They lie.
-
You need to know that, just like I mean, I
-
don't want to pick on any particular church, but we
-
will use, for instance, the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church
-
is the most open about it. They will openly say that, no,
-
the clergy is the final authority because it was the
-
clergy that gave you the Bible. Yes, it is what
-
they say. I mean, how many of you have taught
-
the Bible saying something. So you go and ask your pastor, hey,
-
why aren't we doing this? Or why do we do it?
-
When the New Testament illicitly says you can't, why do
-
we do it? And he will tell you that his bylaws,
-
in his discipline, by which he has a contract for
-
that is what you abide by. You do not abide
-
by the Bible, God's holy word because he's a rejectionist.
-
The rejectionist and they have systematically taught you subconsciously using
-
dogma to reject God's word. I'm here to tell you
-
everything I know the Bible told me. First. For instance,
-
I might rather your cage a little bit. I have
-
the wherewithal to understand this. Once I got into an
-
institution of higher learning and really started studying astrophysics. I
-
come to this astonishing conclusion that Daniel after seven may
-
very well be God encoding to you that you're going
-
to go through planetary migration. And this is why the
-
Book of Revelation states that seventh seal is silence in
-
heaven for a half an hour. How much is a
-
half hour in heaven? Do you know? Because I do,
-
you need to understand something. Now, do you go to
-
any astronomical almanac and look, you'll see that every star
-
falls within twenty four hours. There's a reason for that.
-
When you look into the heavens right and left along
-
the ecliptic is divided into twenty four Did you know
-
that eight, for instance, to constellation Ophiucus that lies in
-
the heavens in the seventeenth hour. Guess what that means?
-
A half hour is fourteen days long. You could take
-
that to the bank. Did you know that? Now, I'm
-
going to tell you this, it's highly probable that you
-
know that real famous passage. If you've ever studied eschatology,
-
I'm sure you've heard this in one way, shape or fashion,
-
that there's coming a time when what is coming upon
-
the earth will make men's hearts fail them. Now, many
-
translations say that a different way. Just imagine, if you will,
-
if you're looking up at Venus and it don't move
-
over the course of fourteen nights, what would you do?
-
More importantly, what would your government do? What would your
-
government do if they couldn't hide the simple fact that, hey,
-
Jupiter is not going forward, it's not retrograde, it's standing still. Better, yet,
-
how about your son? What would happen if you had
-
the wherewithal to quat your horse in the heavens and
-
be able to understand that, Wait a minute, the sun
-
hasn't moved. That is to say, we have it moved.
-
We're spinning, but we're staying in place. Do you even
-
understand what I'm saying? You don't, do you? What bothers
-
me is you probably don't care what I just told you.
-
But yet when I read from the Encyclopedia Britannica, volume two,
-
page six one six on bulb Rot, you absorb it
-
as the truth, and your subconscious don't even question it.
-
Your thought process does not even exist that you would
-
question what I read. Why is it that those who
-
hate God now look, they hate his guts? Why is
-
it you listen to them and you've allowed them to
-
convince you When I'm going to read to you, it's iffy,
-
it's IFFI. You don't know if it's true or not.
-
You don't know which manuscripture, you don't even know which
-
Greek typeset to use, right.
-
Right?
-
You've listened to that garbage for so long that you
-
question it. Really, I need to tell you something before
-
you move forward in your thought processes. They also have
-
you convinced that God is entuned upon his own throne.
-
But I'm here to tell you you better start swinking
-
because when he stands up by God, you're going to
-
think otherwise. So I'm going to read this, and for
-
once in your life, your teacher is going to say
-
something clean to you. This is the gospel truth. This
-
supersedes all available data in the universe. Let me throw
-
your wild card. Do you know what happened? What would
-
happen if you stuck a neutron star in water? Do
-
you know you could put your finger up to it
-
without getting sucked in? Do you want to know why?
-
Because buoyancy supersedes gravity. That does How do you think
-
I know that I'm telling you the truth? Look it up.
-
Buoyancy superseds gravity. Now, if you were to put a
-
piece of a neutron star in a flask of water,
-
you could only put your finger so close to the
-
neutron star because water is more dense than you are,
-
So it gets so close that the gravity would be
-
so great that you couldn't push the water aside. I
-
got you thinking, no, not? You think that you understand
-
the mechination behind the flood, And I'm here to tell
-
you never believed it. Anyway. When was the last time
-
you heard a preacher preach that the flood actually happened. No,
-
they'll say that the dinosaurs lived trillions of years ago. Anyway,
-
what I'm going to read to you is more true
-
than your life. You are pale in the existence of
-
what I'm getting ready to read, So you better set
-
up and pay attention. Gluk seventeen, starting in verse five,
-
and the apostle said to the Lord, increase our faith.
-
That's right, same word. You could use belief here, same thing,
-
same word. But so the Lord said, if you have
-
faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this
-
mulberry tree, be pulled up by the roots and be
-
platted in the sea, and it will obey you. And
-
which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep,
-
will say to him, when he has come in from
-
the field, come at once and sit down to eat.
-
What will he not rather say to him, prepare something
-
for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till
-
I have eaten and drank. And afterward you will eat
-
and drink because he thinked that servant, because he did
-
the things that were not commanded of him. I think not.
-
So likewise, you, when you have done all those things
-
which you are commanded, say, we are unprofitable servants. We
-
have done what was our duty? Tonne, do you understand
-
what he said? Are you? You're confused? Aren't you? It
-
is your natural state for your psyche to be confused
-
when you read God's word. He was very clear. Now,
-
was this diatribe attached to this belief or faith? Whichever one?
-
You really don't know, do you. It's your duty to believe.
-
I mean, I know that all of you know this.
-
I don't think you know. I know you know that
-
the devil himself believes right, the demons believe right. That's
-
where you're at. That's where you're at. You know. Maybe
-
I should read this last verse again so that you
-
understand what he said. So likewise, you, when you you
-
have done all those things which you are commanded, say,
-
we are unprefitable servants. We have done what was our
-
duty to do. And that's all you did. That's all
-
you did. You didn't do anymore. It's a pretty good riddle,
-
isn't it It is a good riddle. I myself think
-
it's one well worth pondering. Let's move on, Let's go
-
to another seventeen. Let's go to Matthew chapter seventeen, starting
-
in verse fourteen. And when they had come to the multitude,
-
a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, Lord,
-
have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic
-
and suffer severely, for he often falls into the fire
-
and often into the water. So I brought him to
-
your desti disciples, but they could not cure him. Then
-
Jesus answered and said, oh, faithless and perverse generation, how
-
long shall I be with you? How long shall I
-
bear with you? Bring him here to me. Then Jesus
-
rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and
-
the child was cured from that very hour. Then the
-
disciples came to Jesus privately and said, why could we
-
not trust it out? So Jesus said to them, because
-
of your unbelief. That is that word with the prefixed alfa.
-
It's where you get apausta. See For assuredly I say
-
to you, if you have faith as a mother that's
-
the word without the prefix alpha, you will say to
-
this mountain, move from here to there, and it will
-
move and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this
-
kind does not go out except by prayer and FASTI
-
he three you curveball, didn't he wouldn't it be nice
-
to just eject that last verse? He did something? What
-
did I call it a curveball? Because now, okay, listen
-
very carefully. He stated that if you have the belief,
-
anything that you command will be done for you. Remember now,
-
belief is to know. Well, guess what if you come
-
upon a demon that will not answer to you, guess
-
what he gave you? Knowledge? He gave you. Now listen.
-
It's the same Greek word faith and know. In these
-
verses it's the same word. So now you know. Now
-
you have faith? What to do? You know that this
-
one can only come out by prayer and fasting. That's
-
why I told you what to do. Now you have
-
the faith to do it, because you know what to do.
-
I confused, you didn't I because it's the same word
-
in Greek. It's the same word. If you were to
-
remove verse twenty one, this would not be God's word.
-
He would have left them unknowing ladies and gentlemen, the disciples,
-
asking directly, why wouldn't this one obeys and come out,
-
we do have the faith? He gave them faith by
-
saying this kind can come only out by pray, infesting.
-
It was right there in front of you all the time.
-
You just couldn't see it. Why why these things aren't difficult.
-
It's just that until now you never had to where
-
withal to look at these Greek words. He should have
-
just looked at him and figured out that, Wait a minute,
-
faith and know or faith and believe is the same word.
-
It's the same thing. This is why apostacea is the
-
opposite of both those things. Apastacia is to not know.
-
It's to have unbelief, it's to be unfaithful. It's the same.
-
You can use either definition. It's either unbelief, okay, or
-
not having any faith. It's the same word that kind
-
of stumps people in the classroom. But it's true when
-
I have challenged people, and I mean in an institution
-
of higher learning, I pointed this particular thing out to
-
a very famous author. He happened to be my professor.
-
He was stumped. He didn't he couldn't compute. They couldn't
-
compute it. He couldn't calpulate it. The whole reason for
-
verse twenty one is he was expl now they had faith, No,
-
they didn't have faith. You mean they believed what he said.
-
It's the same word in Greek. It's the same word.
-
Look it up, write it down, write it down on
-
an index card, write it somewhere. But believe it, because
-
if you believe it, you have faith. If you believe it, yes, faith,
-
you know it. You know it. Mark chapter nine, starting
-
in verse fourteen. And when he came to the disciples,
-
he saw a great multitude around them and scribes disputing
-
with them. Immediately when they saw him, all the people
-
were greatly amazed and running to him, greeted him, and
-
he asked the stripes, what are you discussing with them?
-
Then one of the crowd answered and said, Pecher, I
-
brought you my son, who has a mute spirit, and
-
wherever it seizes him, it throws him down. He phones
-
at the mouth, gnashes at the teeth, and becomes rigid.
-
So I spoke to your disciples that they could not
-
cast it out. But they could not. He answered, instead
-
of them, oh faithless generation, uh, oh, yes, which word
-
that is? In Greek, Oh, faithless generation, how long shall
-
I be with you? How long shall I bear? You
-
bring him to me. Then they brought him to him.
-
When he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed, and he
-
fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
-
So he asked his father how long this been happening
-
to him? And he said from childhood, and often he
-
was thrown him both into the fire and into water
-
to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have
-
compassion on us and help us. Jesus said to him,
-
if you can believe, all things are possible to him
-
who believes. This is the same word in Greek. You
-
could interchangeably in Greek to perceive this translation, and just
-
put faith. Faith is belief. Immediately, the father of the
-
child cried out and said, with years old Lord, I believe,
-
help my unbelief. Here it is again the first instance.
-
It's the word, the second instance, the unbelief. It's good
-
word with just a prefixed alpha, a negative particle. Write
-
that down. When Jesus saw the people come running together,
-
he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, deaf and
-
dumb spirit, I command you come out of him and
-
enter him. No more. Then the spirit cried out, convulsed
-
him greatly, and came out of him, and he became
-
as one dead, so that many said he is dead.
-
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up,
-
and he arose. And when he came into the house,
-
the disciples ask him privately, why could we not cast
-
it out? Okay, look, this word in Greek is the
-
same word for belief and faith. So he gives them
-
the information. You in your mind, you want him to say.
-
Once he's it says what he's getting ready to say,
-
they'll know. That's correct. They will know because know and
-
belief in the Greek is the same word. I'm not
-
lying to you. Just take the time to look at it.
-
Just look at it. This is his reply. So he
-
said to them, this kind can come out nothing but
-
prayer and festing. He gives them the information. Once they
-
have the info, they have the belief. Now they believe
-
what it takes to cast out a spirit that is
-
deaf and mute, because you can't command it. How could
-
you command a mute spirit? It can't hear you, damn it,
-
they can't hear you. So very simple Bible study, very
-
simple Bible study. Basically, we used one word tonight. One
-
word means belief and faith, same word in Greek. If
-
you put a prefixed alpha on it, it becomes unbelief
-
or unfaithful because it's the same word in Greek. Now,
-
this is a pretty easy Bible study. I mean, I
-
would say that of all the Bible studies you can do,
-
this is the easiest one because it doesn't take rocket scientists.
-
It really doesn't. You don't have to have any degree,
-
not just a rocket scientist degree. You don't have to
-
have any degree. This is this is a basic Bible
-
study because I really only taught you one word in Greek,
-
and I taught you that if you add a prefix
-
alpha to it, it becomes a negative, negative connotation because
-
it's a negative particle. It's a negative prefix. I mean,
-
right now, my wife has a pretty little, fancy little
-
thing that's painted here on the wall. It's just faith.
-
But she has one cross dangling from it and one star.
-
I don't know why one represents no in English and
-
one represents faith, or you could say belief. One represents belief,
-
the other faith same word. And the Lord Jesus Christ
-
completely told you the cure for unbelief. Yes, he did
-
Mark chapter six, verse six, and he marveled because of
-
their unbelief. Then he went out about the villages in
-
a circuit, teaching that was a cure for their unbelief
-
or unfaith non faithfulness, however you want to say it.
-
You have to teach them, you show them God's wonders.
-
I mean this Bible study and its simplicity. Even though
-
he covered many chapters, the information was quite systematic in
-
its delivery, systematic. God was not babbling. He's being very direct.
-
He was relaying simplistic things because his disciples and the
-
poor parent of this child, very simple information. Okay, anybody
-
got questions or comments, or would like to yell at
-
me and call me an idiot, any of the above. Anybody,
-
let's talk to Darling. DARLINGE are you available?
-
Just on the head and mirror? Okay, I'm here.
-
So what did you think of the scripture verses we
-
were talking about.
-
I think they're they're very good. I always, for some reason,
-
probably because I didn't take it apart like you do
-
and study it. I always thought he couldn't help because
-
of their unbelief stopped him because they were doubting that
-
their unbelief was not more powerful than him. But you
-
know how sometimes you tell someone's scripture and you can
-
kind of get irritated in your spirit because in there,
-
well then ring in, they're hitting you with something else
-
that's so negative, and it's like an irritant. But you're
-
trying not to show you they're irritating you because of
-
their unbelief? Is what's coming back at you?
-
Well, darlinge the verse before it gives you the cure
-
for that too. Here, let me read it for you.
-
I had a feeling you were going to say that, gentlemen,
-
what happens to you if you encounter somebody that don't
-
believe or they don't have faith? Because remember that's the
-
same thing. What do you do?
-
Well, that's not off.
-
Mark mark verse five. Now he could do no mighty
-
work there except accept that he laid his hands on
-
a few sick people and heal them. So what you
-
do to cure somebody's lack of faith or lack of
-
belief is you lay your hands on them.
-
Does that mean we can punch them? No, I'm playing.
-
I went, well, well, some people are thick headed enough
-
that that might actually work.
-
For them.
-
It was always here. And let's just say this, ladies
-
and gentlemen, when's the last time you saw somebody get
-
sick in the church? Now? I haven't seen this in decades.
-
When's the last time you saw a pastor call this
-
to attention? Bring the person up front? And they'll always
-
at least call the board members or what they call
-
the elders. A lot of churches say different things, but
-
they will get out oil and anoint the person and
-
pray for them. What's the last time you saw that happen?
-
Who was that?
-
Was that? Emmy? I thought I heard somebody say something.
-
I didn't hear anything.
-
I did. But when's the last time you saw that? Darling?
-
It's been a while. I know. One of the elders
-
where I go taught about it, calling the elders, that
-
the elders come up. He was actually teaching on the
-
church's responsibility and how women are not called to be
-
upfront being the preacher because it's the elder is the leader.
-
With the elder are supposed to be the husband of
-
one wife that would make them a male. And he
-
was teaching about the elders and the ones that annoyed
-
the people, and then he explained he wouldn't put his
-
wife up front. He said, why would I put my
-
wife up here? So people? Good attacker, you know, because
-
I guess believers are can be aggravating sometimes, he said,
-
you sometimes you want to walk whop a mall or
-
whatever that game is where you wop the mole on
-
the head.
-
Mm hmm. Yeah. But this is this was the justification
-
for the Lutheran Church, the lesbians taking it over us,
-
because only the male counterpart of a lesbian relationship can
-
be a pastor in their eyes. Oh, brother, so you've
-
never been to any and listen, You've never to listen
-
to any of their synods. It's purely Antichrist, purely, purely Antichrist. Yeah. Anyway,
-
I'm not trying to pay on the Lutherans, but think
-
about this, ladies and gentlemen, when's the last time you've
-
seen this done? Or most of you if you will. Man,
-
I don't want to pick on the Lutherans, but let's
-
say Catholics, Hey, how many Catholics have you ever seen
-
this done? Have you ever seen the New Testament mandate
-
or it says bring such a one up and annoint
-
them and YadA, YadA, can lay your hands on them.
-
Have you ever seen that? Why not? Why not? I'll
-
tell you what, because your clergy is rejectionist. And if
-
they're rejectionist, what they're all their actions are relating to
-
you is that they have the authority of God, not
-
his word. That's what they're doing. That's what they're subliminally
-
relating to you, that are the supreme authority. So but
-
very it's amazing. When I've said this in a classroom
-
setting and related this way, it insulted a lot of
-
people's intelligence. They got very they got very upset with it.
-
I mean they got really upset when they because you know,
-
when you're with me in a classroom, I'll put this
-
up on the screen, I'll put the Greek up and
-
I'll showed you. And when people realize, well, you mean
-
that really is what?
-
Well?
-
Yeah, yeah, they start getting upset. After pastor or their
-
Sunday school teachers, they get mad. Why have I never
-
heard this before? I mean, Darlene, when's the last time
-
you heard this? Did you know that belief and faith
-
was the same thing?
-
No?
-
Why not? I mean you have to admit, darling, this
-
was a very simple Bible study, right, yes, and I
-
read to you multiple chapters that interchangeably used faith and belief.
-
I mean they were interchangeable. So why on earth would
-
the clergy not want you to know this, darling.
-
I have no idea, I'm Matthew. They just because they
-
don't believe it.
-
I guess they don't want you to believe it. They
-
don't want you to know it. Same thing, they don't
-
want you to have the information. It's that simple. Tell
-
me what say you?
-
I see you will know the truth, and the truth
-
will set you free.
-
Do you know? That's why he said that. Let that
-
sink in. I mean say that one time, real slow,
-
you will.
-
Know the truth and the truth will set you free.
-
So I would strongly suggest everybody get themselves a concordance
-
and start going to town. Get you pick a translation,
-
any translation, just not a paraphilt phrase, so not an NIV.
-
An n IV is not a translation. But pick any
-
translation and get you a strongu concordance and start getting
-
to know it. Because well, what I know this is
-
going to shock you. It's just a very elementary phrase
-
from the Bible. I mean it's literally a memory verse
-
for little children in an elementary school. It really is.
-
That's a memory verse for elementary school children. Believe it
-
or not, it's true. Believe it or not, it's true.
-
The truth will set you free from unbelief. They don't
-
want you to believe it. They don't want you to
-
believe it. They want you to accept their authority, not
-
God's word, their rejectionist. But I'm glad we went over
-
some good things tonight. You can all now you know
-
a surprise question you can ask your pastor are we
-
a congregational church? Another way to say is to walk
-
up and say, so, who's over our church? Who's over
-
our church in the state. Let's say, let's say I
-
go to uh an evangelical free church. I'd walk up
-
to my pastor and say, you know, where's our district
-
office at? If the pastor says we don't have one,
-
that means you're a congregational church. That's what it means. Now. Unfortunately,
-
I use the example of a Baptist. I mean, I'm
-
not I'm not trying to rail on Baptist either, but
-
many Baptists, of course they One good way to figure
-
it out is many of them will preach KJV only anyway.
-
They are Congregationalists. They don't have an authority in some
-
other place. They don't have a bishop and a YadA,
-
YadA YadA, whatever they call them. So you need to
-
know that you don't have any excuses. You don't have
-
any not any You can get the Greek, the Hebrew,
-
Eat the Strongs everywhere for free. It's all over the internet.
-
You can go to the library and get it for free.
-
Check it out, look at it, whatever you want to do.
-
You have no excuses. If you don't have any faith,
-
it's because you don't know, because you don't want to know.
-
You don't want to know, you don't care to know.
-
For some reason, you accept the Encyclopedia Britannica as the
-
gospel truth. I'm here to tell you it ain't. This
-
is literally trash. There's only one thing standing between you
-
and econoity. It is in this physical realm the Bible,
-
God's holy Word, and I'm here to tell you it
-
does not take a rocket scientist to read it. Today
-
we covered basically one verse or one word in Greek,
-
and that one word with a prefix alpha on it.
-
That's all we did. This ministry uses the New King
-
James version. If you get a new King James version,
-
you can take a pencil and mark out a single
-
verse and actually have a copy of the Adidal Regia.
-
What is that? Well, let's just cut to the chase.
-
It's where you get your chapters and verses from. That's
-
how you know it's God ordained. That's how you know
-
because not the Baptist not the Presbyterians, Lattie dot, the
-
entire Church of the Lord Jesus Christ accepted those chapters
-
and verses wholeheartedly, everybody on the planet. That's how you
-
know it's the right one. Anyway, let's throw a curveball. So, Tammy,
-
if you get you a new King James version, which
-
verse and the New Testament do you need to take
-
a pencil and mark out? Because that's the only verse
-
in the New Testament that they incorrectly inserted it because
-
Stefano's put it in the notes. Do you know which
-
one it is?
-
I know we went over this, but I forgot.
-
Wow, who knows, Sherry? Do you know? Does anybody know?
-
Somebody better know? Denny Sureley?
-
You know, Oh man, I'm gonna get the woodshed.
-
We're all staying the woodshed here.
-
You really don't know.
-
I haven't written, they don't have it handy, so I
-
don't know off the top of my head.
-
Really well, I guess that's everybody's homework for next time,
-
because yeah, you're on in the woodshed. I don't have
-
to tell you nothing. I'm not required to tell you anything.
-
And when I tell you something, you probably need to
-
know it because I'm telling you because you need to
-
tell the next person. That's why this ministry when the
-
opportunity arises, we have new King James version Bibles. So
-
if you have one to hand out, like we do,
-
you need to know. Hey, by the way, this verse
-
shouldn't be there, because it's not in the idital Regia manuscript.
-
That manuscript is a real cool name for you get
-
the chapter in verses. Stefanos did it in fifteen fifty
-
and it's the Gospel truth. So everybody needs to look
-
that up. Does anybody even know what bookets in? Me?
-
Do you know what book it's in?
-
I am not remembering.
-
I have I've said here.
-
I know it's in the footnotes somewhere of the of
-
this Bible I'm looking at, but because it says that
-
it was added somewhere, but I find it.
-
But find it all right, let's it's it's the top
-
of the hour. So I need to make sure that
-
nobody has any questions or anything they need to talk
-
about before we leave. So does anybody have any questions
-
or comment, answer anything you want to talk about before
-
we get off here? Sherry's been offul quiet. We probably
-
need to.
-
Pray for Cherry.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need to pray for Sharry. Certainly
-
need to pray for Sarry.
-
And well, we need to pray that everybody remembers about
-
that simple English word faith, because it means belief.
-
Very simple. It's actually quite elementary. So Tammy, can you
-
pray us out of here? Please?
-
Yes, Father God, thank you for.
-
Teaching us your word, that we increase our faith, that
-
we increase our knowledge that we know you and that
-
we know your son Jesus Christ. And I thank you
-
for having Sherry home now and healing her from this
-
pneumonia that she's had. Father, I pray for you to
-
touch her and continue to lift her up to you,
-
that you clear her lungs of any trace of these bacteria, ammonia,
-
whatever is making her so sick. Father, and I pray
-
for our families. I just lift up the widows and
-
the orphans to you, and the people that are still
-
still living in tents in this cold weather from these hurricanes. Lord,
-
I just want you to remember them. I ask you
-
to keep them and feed them and bless them. Father,
-
And I thank you for all those faithful people who
-
have gone to help them and to bring supplies food
-
and water and shelter and clothing the night. All their
-
needs are being met Father, through you, for through your
-
your servants who are faithful.
-
And I thank you for that. And I thank you for.
-
All these miracles that are happening all over the place.
-
And I pray for the people that are in these wars,
-
the children especially, Father, protect them and keep them in
-
your care.
-
In Jesus' name, I'm.
-
In man in a animal. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,
-
God bless God speed.
