-
Live stream with this very chilly North Dakota morning. So
-
let's get this started appropriately. God bless everybody. Matthew Miller
-
here from Maranatha Ministries. We have a sister chapter to
-
the one that entails the brute beast. Once again, the
-
word makes itself perfectly clear. This is not talking about
-
the lost. This is not talking about people external to
-
the church. This is talking about people internal to the church.
-
And it states here in 2 Peter 2 unequivocally that
-
these people preach a false gospel of a sin-based salvation.
-
They preach that you can continue willfully sinning and inherit
-
the kingdom of God. This categorically states that they will not,
-
that there is no such thing as penal substitution. There's
-
no such thing as eternal security. It states it very
-
clear and gives very, very good descriptors here about these
-
people who are going to church with those of you
-
who've been born again. They go to church with you.
-
They're not going to church for the same reasons you are.
-
They're not going for the same reasons. So, here we
-
have it, that it starts off by saying, at the
-
time of the apostles, there were false prophets. And it's
-
saying that now, in these end times, there's false teachers.
-
And these false teachers are brute beasts. Inwardly, they're ravenous wolves.
-
The best way to describe them is in a matter
-
of fact, in a scientific way, lycanthropes. What's that? What's
-
a lycanthorpe? That's a werewolf. That's the technical term for werewolf,
-
is lycanthorpe. So, Inwardly, they're ravenous wolves. That's where this
-
concept comes from. It doesn't come from fiction. These people
-
that wrote about werewolves did so by reading the Bible.
-
That's where they get it from. So, let's take a
-
look at this. I'm not bringing to you a word.
-
What I'm getting ready to bring to you is not
-
my tradition. It's not the tradition of my family. It's
-
not the tradition of a preacher. It's not the tradition
-
of a this is the word. I'm bringing you the word,
-
not a word. The word which was given to all mankind.
-
This is the word. But there were also false prophets
-
among people, even as there will be false teachers among you,
-
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the
-
Lord who bought them and bring on themselves swift destruction.
-
This is not talking about people who don't go to church.
-
This is absolutely talking about the ravenous wolves inside the church.
-
Verse 2. And many will follow their destructive ways because
-
of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. This
-
is what these people are doing that purport a once saved,
-
always saved. They even say that they're growing in grace
-
as this very chapter ends. They are blaspheming the way
-
of truth. No, ladies and gentlemen, there's no such thing
-
as a sin-based salvation. God did not save you in
-
your sin so you can continue sinning willfully. Which directly
-
contradicts the Word. Not a tradition. Penal substitution is a tradition.
-
Eternal security is a tradition. Those are all traditions of men.
-
Thus saith the Word. By what way do they do this?
-
By covetousness, they will exploit you with deceptive words for
-
a long time their judgment has not been idle and
-
their destruction does not slumber. They just categorically told you
-
they're walking according to the flesh. They do not walk
-
according to the spirit. They have not been born again.
-
And yet they're inside your churches. They're even Sunday school teachers.
-
They're preachers. They're literally running your clergy. They're running your
-
church building. Continuing on to verse 4. What is their end?
-
Why is God so angry with them? Because they're just
-
like the angels. They come into his family. and done
-
this thing anyway. Verse 4, For God did not spare
-
the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell
-
and delivered them into change of darkness to be reserved
-
for judgment. And did not spare the ancient world, but
-
saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness,
-
bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly.
-
So beware. These flesh walkers will get mad at you.
-
They will even throw you out of their church buildings
-
if you profess holiness. If you are a preacher of righteousness,
-
they will gnash their teeth at you and kick you out.
-
And in the time of the great apostasy, they will
-
make a martyr of you. They'll make a martyr out.
-
Thus saith the word. Revelation chapter 6 verse 9. Continuing on.
-
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes.
-
Condemned them to destruction. Making them an example of those
-
who afterward would live ungodly. Yet these free gracers. literally
-
say that by sinning in Christ's name they're growing in
-
grace it is God it's very plain this is why
-
Jesus Christ states they're going to be bound up in
-
bundles to be cast into the lake of fire remember
-
They're bound together by the mark of the beast because
-
they live like brute beasts as this very chapter is
-
going to tell us again, just like Jude chapter one
-
told us. So, and delivered righteous Lot who was oppressed
-
by the filthy conduct of the wicked. Now take note,
-
these church goers in your congregation their filthy conduct, it
-
comes out periodically. And those of you that have been
-
born again, it does this very thing. It causes what
-
happened to Lot to cause to you, and you just wonder,
-
why did they continue coming to church when they act
-
like that? This is why. So it's going to describe
-
to you how you're feeling when they do this. Verse 8,
-
for that righteous man dwelling among them tormented his righteous
-
soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their
-
lawless deeds. There's no such thing as free grace. There's
-
no such thing as once saved, always saved. There's no
-
such thing as penal substitution. There's no such thing as
-
eternal security. All these things are theological myths made up
-
and instituted by brute beast. Verse 9. Then the Lord
-
knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and
-
to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment.
-
Of course, if you do not continue willfully sinning once
-
you've come into the body of Christ, guess what? Hebrews
-
chapter 10, verses 26 through 29 plainly states, once you've
-
been born again, this is a seal against you doing this,
-
acting ungodly. and performing lawless deeds. Because they have trampled
-
on the Son of God and insulted the Spirit of Grace. So,
-
of course, the Spirit of Grace is not going to
-
baptize them. That's what this is saying. Verse 10, and
-
especially those who walk according to the flesh in the
-
lust and uncleanness and despise authority, they are presumptuous, self-willed.
-
They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas
-
angels who are greater in power and might do not
-
bring a rivaling accusation against them before the Lord. This
-
is plain English. It's plain English. Verse 12. But these,
-
like natural brute beasts, made to be caught and destroyed,
-
speak evil of things they do not understand and will
-
utterly perish in their own corruption. and will receive the
-
wages of unrighteousness. As those who count it pleasure to
-
carouse in the daytime, they are spots and blemishes carousing
-
in their own deceptions while they feast with you. Ladies
-
and gentlemen, you're going to church with them. You sit
-
right in the same pews as they do on Christmas morning.
-
They sit right in the same pews with you on
-
Easter morning. And they trample the Son of God and
-
insult the Spirit of grace so they can't be born again.
-
The Spirit will not indwell them. Because they willfully sin.
-
And they try to teach you. To do the same.
-
This comes right out and tells you. These are professing Christians.
-
Verse 14. Having eyes full of adultery. And that cannot
-
cease from sin. Enticing unstable souls. They have a heart.
-
trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They are
-
the children of disobedience. This is not talking about Muslims.
-
It's not talking about Buddhists. This is not talking about
-
the lost. This is talking about people inside your church
-
buildings who are going to make a martyr out of you.
-
Verse 15, have forsaken the right way and gone astray
-
following the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who
-
loved the wages of unrighteousness. But he was rebuked for
-
his iniquity, a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice
-
restrained the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water,
-
clouds carried by a tempest for whom is reserved the
-
blackness of darkness forever. So when they speak about this
-
penal substitution and free grace and once saved, always saved
-
and eternal security, something is going to be a result
-
of that. Picking it up in verse 18 describes to
-
you what that is in 2 Peter 2, verse 18.
-
For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they
-
allure through lust of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones
-
who have actually escaped from those who live in error.
-
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption.
-
For by whom a person is overcome, by him also
-
He is brought into bondage, for as they have escaped
-
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the
-
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in
-
them and overcome. The latter end is worse for them
-
than the beginning. This is categorically talking about unborn churchgoers.
-
And the word says they're going to make martyrs out
-
of those of us who have been born again, who
-
practice righteousness. Verse 21. For it would have been better
-
for them not to have known the way of righteousness
-
than having known it to turn from the holy commandment
-
delivered to them. But it has happened to them according
-
to the true proverb, a dog returns to its own vomit.
-
and a sow having washed to her wallowing in the mire.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, I have ceased and desist from delivering
-
a call to repentance to these brute beasts. I have
-
from this point forward. Begin to deliver. A message of
-
dire warning. To those of us. Who have been born again.
-
That are still attending.
-
Attending.
-
These church buildings. In the presence. Of these groupies. And
-
they run your churches. They absolutely wholesale. Run your entire denominations.
-
They do. And you need to know why they're going
-
to make a martyr out of you. You need to
-
realize that this is not going to be the wars
-
of religion like the Reformation triggered. It's not going to
-
be different denominations murdering other denominations. That's not what this
-
is saying at all. And you need to come to
-
grips with it. This is talking about people in your church.
-
Catholics aren't going to murder Protestants. The Catholics are going
-
to murder any of their congregants, their fellow congregants that
-
have been born again. And they're only going to martyr
-
you for one reason. You reject all their traditions that
-
contradict the Word. The Word is the Holy Bible. It
-
is 66 books fashioned after the 66 chapters of Isaiah.
-
And you need to realize this is categorically what they're
-
going to do. They're only going to martyr you for
-
one reason. Please write these down. Please know this is
-
what they're going to do. Revelation chapter 6, verse 9.
-
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
-
altar the souls of those who had been slain for
-
the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
-
This isn't a religious war coming. It's the Lycanthorpe Christians.
-
Making martyrs. Out of those who have been born again.
-
Inside their own congregation. Their fellow congregants. Now look. This
-
is further reiterated. In Revelation chapter 22. God reiterates there.
Revelation 22 chapter mention
-
They do this because of God's word. Because with their traditions.
-
They insert their traditions into God's word. I just gave
-
you many of them. Once saved, always saved. Penal substitution.
-
Free grace. They take those unbiblical traditions and insert them
-
into the word. Then they take what the word does
-
say and remove them. Revelation chapter 22, verses 18 and 19.
-
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of
-
the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to these things,
-
God will add to him the plagues that are written
-
in this book. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, They're going into
-
the great tribulation. Yes, they are. Verse 19. And if
-
anyone takes away from the words of the book of
-
this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the
-
book of life, from the holy city, and from the
-
things which are written in this book. So, for those
-
of you that's been born again, If you have any
-
