  1. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's all turn to the Book of Proverbs, chapter 12, verse 11.

    Proverbs 12:11

  2. [SPEAKER_00]: Proverbs is right after Psalms, you know that.

  3. [SPEAKER_00]: 12 is right after 11 and 11 is right after 10.

  4. [SPEAKER_00]: So the Book of Proverbs, chapter 12, verse 11.

    Proverbs 12:11

  5. [SPEAKER_00]: If you find that, if you can please stand on to the reading of God,

  6. [SPEAKER_00]: And it says, in Proverbs 12 verse 11, he who tells his land will be satisfied with bread.

    Proverbs 12:11

  7. [SPEAKER_00]: But he who follows vain persons is void of understanding.

  8. [SPEAKER_00]: God bless and honor the reading of his word and you may be seated.

  9. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you hear the word, Acme,

  10. [SPEAKER_00]: You might think of a few things.

  11. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm not talking about acne, which is a skin condition with an N as a N. So I'm talking about M as in me.

  12. [SPEAKER_00]: And acne is a position and a condition or at least a word that you might hear quite a bit.

  13. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, usually when he people hear the word acne,

  14. [SPEAKER_00]: They think of a cartoon and they think of Wiley Coyote, Wiley Coyote, and that's what you're going to see.

  15. [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't draw all these, not like I usually do.

  16. [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to have time.

  17. [SPEAKER_00]: I did, however, add a little bit to it, just here and there.

  18. [SPEAKER_00]: You won't be able to tell, but I did.

  19. [SPEAKER_00]: But Acme is a word as you hear.

  20. [SPEAKER_00]: When Wiley Coyote is trying to chase the road runner.

  21. [SPEAKER_00]: And when he's chasing the road runner, which is one of my favorite cartoons, it was done by the late great chup Jones.

  22. [SPEAKER_00]: And he was trying to catch him using gadgets by the Acme company, the corporation.

  23. [SPEAKER_00]: And you'd all see the Acme printed on the side.

  24. [SPEAKER_00]: Now I never got the joke growing up, didn't know what the joke was.

  25. [SPEAKER_00]: But now you're gonna find out, case you didn't know.

  26. [SPEAKER_00]: Recently, there was a movie that came out called coyote versus Acme.

  27. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's pretty good.

  28. [SPEAKER_00]: It came out about three weeks ago.

  29. [SPEAKER_00]: Jeremy and I went saw it.

  30. [SPEAKER_00]: And I went my scene again.

  31. [SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of fun.

  32. [SPEAKER_00]: Like a lot.

  33. [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I've been watching a lot of those old cartoons.

  34. [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of fun.

  35. [SPEAKER_00]: And they always had printed on the side what that Acme product was supposed to do.

  36. [SPEAKER_00]: It was usually something fun.

  37. [SPEAKER_00]: My very favorite one.

  38. [SPEAKER_00]: I almost brought it out to show you.

  39. [SPEAKER_00]: I actually have some.

  40. [SPEAKER_00]: Figures and everything's about with you for once my favorite one was the Batman outfit.

  41. [SPEAKER_00]: No, not the comic book character, but it was where he was wearing this green outfit.

  42. [SPEAKER_00]: It was trying to fly and all.

  43. [SPEAKER_00]: but they did bring out a hallmark ornament where it's supposed to be like that.

  44. [SPEAKER_00]: And either way, he also had different things he's trying to do to catch that road runner.

  45. [SPEAKER_00]: You all may remember, but what does act mean mean?

  46. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, the Greek is a Greek word, and it's not spelled with a C, it's spelled with a K, Akami.

  47. [SPEAKER_00]: And it actually has a point to it, it has a meaning.

  48. [SPEAKER_00]: And the word means highest point, it means the peak, the pinnacle, the top, best quality.

  49. [SPEAKER_00]: And this was a joke.

  50. [SPEAKER_00]: from the Acme Corporation.

  51. [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know it growing up because everything they got was bad.

  52. [SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't know that was the joke as a kid, of course.

  53. [SPEAKER_00]: Had no idea that the whole joke was everything it got didn't work and it's supposed to mean the best of the best.

  54. [SPEAKER_00]: So every time you see a company and there's many companies that use the word Acme, there's two reasons because they're trying to say that their product, there's a thing called Acme grocery store.

  55. [SPEAKER_00]: There's an acne this and that the reason is just trying to say they're the best and the other reason was they would choose Acme because it would show up first in the phone book.

  56. [SPEAKER_00]: That was the reason all those times.

  57. [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that.

  58. [SPEAKER_00]: So as I said, the movie came out and it's done very well.

  59. [SPEAKER_00]: It was told that it wasn't only well, it did very well because it's the old school lunatunes fun.

  60. [SPEAKER_00]: Either way, some companies use it because they think it's great now.

  61. [SPEAKER_00]: There are some people who think

  62. [SPEAKER_00]: They think that the acronym means American company making everything, but it's not.

  63. [SPEAKER_00]: It's never meant that.

  64. [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean that.

  65. [SPEAKER_00]: However, today, we made an acronym and it's all in that piece of paper.

  66. [SPEAKER_00]: It's the title today's sermon, Act Me.

  67. [SPEAKER_00]: Never thought I would do that, but you never know what's going to happen.

  68. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, the title of the sermon is Act Me.

  69. [SPEAKER_00]: because acne means something to a lot of people.

  70. [SPEAKER_00]: There are too many who are trying to catch salvation in this world.

  71. [SPEAKER_00]: They find themselves like wilde coyote doing everything they can to catch salvation, but they can't.

  72. [SPEAKER_00]: No matter what they try, they cannot catch salvation on their own.

  73. [SPEAKER_00]: They just can't do it.

  74. [SPEAKER_00]: It's impossible.

  75. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't earn salvation.

  76. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't catch salvation.

  77. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't buy salvation.

  78. [SPEAKER_00]: by trying to do it, you're falling for a trap.

  79. [SPEAKER_00]: Every single time you watch that cartoon, no matter what, you knew why the hell he was going to lose.

  80. [SPEAKER_00]: You knew he was going to fall down.

  81. [SPEAKER_00]: You knew that he was going to one thing he always knew he was going to see if he's falling off.

  82. [SPEAKER_00]: You always knew it's going to happen.

  83. [SPEAKER_00]: This is the unfortunate truth of people who think they can earn their salvation.

  84. [SPEAKER_00]: No matter what's going to happen, they're going to fall in for a trap and they're going to fall through the pits.

  85. [SPEAKER_00]: This is unfortunate, not the nullaffat.

  86. [SPEAKER_00]: It's very unfortunate truth.

  87. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what's going to happen.

  88. [SPEAKER_00]: So what is the acronym, which we have for acne, atheistic,

  89. [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to go through what each of these words mean and why.

  90. [SPEAKER_00]: For atheistic, what to be an atheist means to be a non-believer.

  91. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm going to put another word with that, too, and the agnostic.

  92. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, agnostic is someone who says, I don't know which way to believe.

  93. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe in anything.

  94. [SPEAKER_00]: I just, I haven't made my decision yet.

  95. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, by not believing, you're not a believer.

  96. [SPEAKER_00]: In other words, I have friends that well, by the way, just so you know, I'm not an atheist.

  97. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm an agnostic.

  98. [SPEAKER_00]: I have made my decision.

  99. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, by not making a decision, you made a decision.

  100. [SPEAKER_00]: When I was five years old, years ago, I mentioned it before, I was given an ice cream bar and there's a little ice cream sandwich, I was in kindergarten.

  101. [SPEAKER_00]: And I remember not eating the ice cream sandwich.

  102. [SPEAKER_00]: I put a wicks I wanted to,

  103. [SPEAKER_00]: to be honest with you, I want to be the last to eat it.

  104. [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what happened, and melted, and my teacher got my face about it, she was right, so they threw it away.

  105. [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get to eat it.

  106. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I could make the decision to eat it.

  107. [SPEAKER_00]: So therefore, I lost it.

  108. [SPEAKER_00]: The point is, if you don't make a decision, you have already made your decision.

  109. [SPEAKER_00]: You don't get it.

  110. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what people do.

  111. [SPEAKER_00]: I have it in my decision, which way to earn salvation.

  112. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, first of all, you don't get to earn salvation.

  113. [SPEAKER_00]: You cannot earn salvation.

  114. [SPEAKER_00]: It is impossible.

  115. [SPEAKER_00]: So, many people don't because of the ego.

  116. [SPEAKER_00]: They want to catch God that they don't believe in, which makes no sense, but they want to go their way.

  117. [SPEAKER_00]: Their way, they want to find salvation.

  118. [SPEAKER_00]: And it can't be done.

  119. [SPEAKER_00]: So, they want to be their own God, they're too smart to believe, they want to believe in science.

  120. [SPEAKER_00]: The funny thing about that science is, it's not real science, I've talked about it many many times.

  121. [SPEAKER_00]: Sister Heather usually goes right along with me because she's a science teacher and we know that this unprovable science is faith that they talk about.

  122. [SPEAKER_00]: Science is we know we've said it many many times, it's testable, approval, repeatable.

  123. [SPEAKER_00]: Their type of science is faith because there's no proof of their, whether it be eighth,

  124. [SPEAKER_00]: saying that we came from evolution or whatever.

  125. [SPEAKER_00]: There's no proof of this, it's not science, it's all faith.

  126. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is how they are.

  127. [SPEAKER_00]: So let's go to first Corinthians.

  128. [SPEAKER_00]: 15, 33.

  129. [SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians 1533, do not be to see bad company corrupts good morals.

  130. [SPEAKER_00]: Now why am I saying this to you?

  131. [SPEAKER_00]: Bad company, corrupts good morals.

  132. [SPEAKER_00]: Be careful who you're with.

  133. [SPEAKER_00]: Now I have some friends.

  134. [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not talking about my best pals.

  135. [SPEAKER_00]: I got them right here today.

  136. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about those who I hang around with all the time.

  137. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm talking about people that you meet and you're nice to me love them.

  138. [SPEAKER_00]: And you do love them.

  139. [SPEAKER_00]: And you do pray for them a lot.

  140. [SPEAKER_00]: And I do call them friends, I love them.

  141. [SPEAKER_00]: But they are atheists.

  142. [SPEAKER_00]: Do I buddy buddy with them?

  143. [SPEAKER_00]: No, do I go to movies with them?

  144. [SPEAKER_00]: No, do I go to their house and get back?

  145. [SPEAKER_00]: No, there's one of the takers I really care for.

  146. [SPEAKER_00]: He's the one who told me he'll, I'm not an atheist.

  147. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm an agnostic.

  148. [SPEAKER_00]: I still, I love him.

  149. [SPEAKER_00]: I talked to him, I say hi.

  150. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't spend time with him.

  151. [SPEAKER_00]: Why?

  152. [SPEAKER_00]: Because back of me, Krebs, good morals.

  153. [SPEAKER_00]: If you spend time with, oh, Pastor, he should be loving a kind, I am loving kind to everyone.

  154. [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone.

  155. [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't spend time with people who may influence my brain.

  156. [SPEAKER_00]: You may influence my mood.

  157. [SPEAKER_00]: You may influence my thinking.

  158. [SPEAKER_00]: Why?

  159. [SPEAKER_00]: Because back come and corrupts good morons.

  160. [SPEAKER_00]: And you don't want to do that.

  161. [SPEAKER_00]: You got to be careful.

  162. [SPEAKER_00]: Second Corinthians, 614.

  163. [SPEAKER_00]: Second Corinthians, 614.

  164. [SPEAKER_00]: I say this to the, I don't know if I'll say anything.

  165. [SPEAKER_00]: But the truth is, is if you are wanting to be with people,

  166. [SPEAKER_00]: friends and all, especially if you're looking for a wife or a husband or something, you need to be careful because this sort of says here, in 2nd and 614, do not be unequally yoke together with unbelievers.

  167. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this isn't just about.

  168. [SPEAKER_00]: marriage.

  169. [SPEAKER_00]: But I said it before about marriage.

  170. [SPEAKER_00]: If you are yoke together as they did with the oxen and yoke them together, yes, the male was to do the first step and the female was step with him.

  171. [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't just step in and pull her with him.

  172. [SPEAKER_00]: No, they step together.

  173. [SPEAKER_00]: But the male wasn't the leader, by the way.

  174. [SPEAKER_00]: The leader was the man behind him, the farmer.

  175. [SPEAKER_00]: The farmer said, go, the male, the first steps, and she step with them, why?

  176. [SPEAKER_00]: Because the leader who is God, by the way, tells us where to go, and we follow that's how supposed to be.

  177. [SPEAKER_00]: But if you're an equal yoke, and you have an oxen who doesn't want to go with you,

  178. [SPEAKER_00]: whether it be the one not following the farmer who tells him where to go and wants to go the opposite direction.

  179. [SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to be a good couple together.

  180. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to work out.

  181. [SPEAKER_00]: Be friends or or yet.

  182. [SPEAKER_00]: Someone who wants to get married someday.

  183. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't get with an unbeliever.

  184. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't do it.

  185. [SPEAKER_00]: Do not be unincreased together with unbelievers.

  186. [SPEAKER_00]: For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness?

  187. [SPEAKER_00]: What communion has a light with darkness?

  188. [SPEAKER_00]: People hear this and I think, oh, you're telling us to be mean to people, not to be little nice to be a star or saying, be loving, but be wise.

  189. [SPEAKER_00]: What does it say?

  190. [SPEAKER_00]: Wise is a serpent, gentle is a dove.

  191. [SPEAKER_00]: We gotta be wise.

  192. [SPEAKER_00]: The next group we're gonna talk about is the cult.

  193. [SPEAKER_00]: This will take most of our time.

  194. [SPEAKER_00]: The cult, fact, don't worry, I'm not gonna go through all these pages.

  195. [SPEAKER_00]: I had to look up a lot of cults had to read a lot of books, some of book about a lot of these different cults.

  196. [SPEAKER_00]: He brought like the colon cults.

  197. [SPEAKER_00]: First, let's talk about what a cult is.

  198. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and it's a cult, like a gun, and it's said that a cult, C-U-L-T. A cult is a social group of extreme devotion to an idea our belief system.

  199. [SPEAKER_00]: It's usually by manipulation or control

  200. [SPEAKER_00]: new religious movements or a north elox, or our own belief system, people have this all the time.

  201. [SPEAKER_00]: This is a cult.

  202. [SPEAKER_00]: And then that gives you a few songs with an occult.

  203. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, sometimes you can overlap an occult.

  204. [SPEAKER_00]: An occult is spelled O, C, C, U, L, T is a concealed secret forces, which craft and other things.

  205. [SPEAKER_00]: They, like I said, they sometimes overlap.

  206. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's a trick by saying, by the way, occult is a trick by saying to their both tricks by the devil.

  207. [SPEAKER_00]: And there are many people who will say the things I'm about to say.

  208. [SPEAKER_00]: They say, no, that's just a denomination.

  209. [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not a denomination.

  210. [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to mention some to you.

  211. [SPEAKER_00]: The first one that talked about is Mormonism.

  212. [SPEAKER_00]: I had a discussion recently with someone about Mormonism.

  213. [SPEAKER_00]: They said, they're not just like us.

  214. [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not just like us.

  215. [SPEAKER_00]: It's really sad they're good people.

  216. [SPEAKER_00]: They're very sweet people.

  217. [SPEAKER_00]: They're kind people.

  218. [SPEAKER_00]: If you talk to one, you'd want to be their friend.

  219. [SPEAKER_00]: They're nice.

  220. [SPEAKER_00]: They do stuff for people all the time.

  221. [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, they're not just doing it because they're nice people.

  222. [SPEAKER_00]: they're doing it because they think you're earning the way to have it.

  223. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the truth.

  224. [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to name some to you, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness.

  225. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to Christian science, Scientology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam,

  226. [SPEAKER_00]: and many others, but I've got some of them to mention in a moment.

  227. [SPEAKER_00]: The reason why you got to care for these is because every single one of these, and there's one other, which I'll mention in a moment for certain, everyone of these, they're not, they think you have to earn your way to heaven.

  228. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they think, they think you have to earn your way to heaven.

  229. [SPEAKER_00]: There's another one, Roman Catholicism.

  230. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying all Catholics aren't saved.

  231. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that, but,

  232. [SPEAKER_00]: For the most part, Catholicism is a cult.

  233. [SPEAKER_00]: Not all.

  234. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yes, you're some of your say to people, oh, you're being mean, listen, I mean, if I didn't take the truth, that's the truth.

  235. [SPEAKER_00]: But yes, there are Catholics who know the Lord, however, and it's not quite the same as the others, but they still tempt their own their way to heaven.

  236. [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna get to all this.

  237. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so Mormonism, which is also known as LDS, Latter-day Saints, they call themselves.

  238. [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's RLDS, which is reorganized church, a Latter-day Saints, by the way, do you know where that's founded?

  239. [SPEAKER_00]: Independence.

  240. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, when you see that little big things sticking up, then it looks like an ice cream cone, they think that's the, I'm really not trying to laugh, this is a slide that Jesus is supposed to come down.

  241. [SPEAKER_00]: Woo, woo, woo, woo.

  242. [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus is supposed to come down that slide.

  243. [SPEAKER_00]: It looks, it looks very uncomfortable, but I don't want to slide down that.

  244. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not Jesus either, but He's not gonna slide down that either.

  245. [SPEAKER_00]: Just say, you know, they do think that.

  246. [SPEAKER_00]: They also have changed your name because that's what the devil is.

  247. [SPEAKER_00]: He changed his name a lot and where's mask.

  248. [SPEAKER_00]: So they have another name from the Lairday Saints.

  249. [SPEAKER_00]: They called him so his community of Christ.

  250. [SPEAKER_00]: Know this at the Mormonism.

  251. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't like to go by Mormonism, by the way.

  252. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't like that.

  253. [SPEAKER_00]: They get on to it for saying it.

  254. [SPEAKER_00]: But we'll get into that.

  255. [SPEAKER_00]: The reason why they call it Mormonism is when we said how started, was because they made up a story who did Joseph Smith.

  256. [SPEAKER_00]: Joseph Smith started the whole ordeal.

  257. [SPEAKER_00]: It was then taken on by a man by the name of Brigham Young.

  258. [SPEAKER_00]: And they don't call themselves that, but it's still the same thing.

  259. [SPEAKER_00]: They made up whenever Justice Smith was making stuff up.

  260. [SPEAKER_00]: He made up, and India tried, they didn't exist.

  261. [SPEAKER_00]: And the Indian tribes name was the Nephites and Elemonites.

  262. [SPEAKER_00]: And he said that the Indian's name was Mormon, and his son-in-law was Morani.

  263. [SPEAKER_00]: ironic in it.

  264. [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

  265. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they said.

  266. [SPEAKER_00]: Morani.

  267. [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of ironic.

  268. [SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, Joseph Smith decided to translate the book of Mormon in 1830.

  269. [SPEAKER_00]: He said that he was given golden plates and he dug up a hill in New York that he dug them up in the hill in New York.

  270. [SPEAKER_00]: And so after that, he said it was a calling from God and he was the the new prophet.

  271. [SPEAKER_00]: And he did all these things.

  272. [SPEAKER_00]: That's why he, in the latter days, he said that those are the latter days.

  273. [SPEAKER_00]: And so he made the latter days saying, he also, they read the book a moment, but that's not the only thing they read.

  274. [SPEAKER_00]: Now they tell people that's their book, but there's other books.

  275. [SPEAKER_00]: They have other books that they go through.

  276. [SPEAKER_00]: They have a thing called the Doctor and the Covenants, and they have a thing called the Earl of Great Price.

  277. [SPEAKER_00]: But those two other books that just mentioned, you don't hear about them.

  278. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't mention that out in public.

  279. [SPEAKER_00]: They keep those kind of hidden, see.

  280. [SPEAKER_00]: And for good reason, because it's strange on biblical beliefs, like what, pastor, I'm glad you asked, like God, this is what they say and they don't talk about recently.

  281. [SPEAKER_00]: I was telling you about she didn't know that they said this because they don't tell them up front.

  282. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what they say.

  283. [SPEAKER_00]: God was once a man, that's what they say.

  284. [SPEAKER_00]: He was once just a man like you.

  285. [SPEAKER_00]: they say there is no training to say Satan is Jesus' brother.

  286. [SPEAKER_00]: They also said that God slept with Mary now listen.

  287. [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing.

  288. [SPEAKER_00]: They say that and also there's a pre-existence of souls.

  289. [SPEAKER_00]: Our souls already existed.

  290. [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't know that.

  291. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I didn't need it because it didn't.

  292. [SPEAKER_00]: But this is what they say.

  293. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, they don't say the thing about God being with Mary to the new Mormons.

  294. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't say that to them.

  295. [SPEAKER_00]: because they know that will turn people off.

  296. [SPEAKER_00]: So they don't tell them that.

  297. [SPEAKER_00]: But this is the old teachings.

  298. [SPEAKER_00]: Now also, from the Book of Mormon, it contains, this is what they say.

  299. [SPEAKER_00]: It's the fullness of the gospel.

  300. [SPEAKER_00]: See, you have the Bible that says not enough.

  301. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to have the Book of Mormon too.

  302. [SPEAKER_00]: Anytime you go to a place where they say, Jesus plus,

  303. [SPEAKER_00]: South Asian plus, you know it's not a God.

  304. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is what you hear a lot in these things.

  305. [SPEAKER_00]: They say these laws.

  306. [SPEAKER_00]: So this is what they say in order to be a plain salvation and Mormonism, they say is this.

  307. [SPEAKER_00]: They say as you have to embrace the laws, principles, doctrines, rights, ordinances, acts, powers, authorities, and keys necessary to save an exalt man.

  308. [SPEAKER_00]: So it says this, you have to have belief, repentance, baptism, laying on of hands, tempo work, see, tempo work, swallow around talking, tempo work, mission work, church ministry, pithing, seizing from sin,

  309. [SPEAKER_00]: And here's some of the sin that they have to abstain from.

  310. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I want to thank this for that.

  311. [SPEAKER_00]: They sell you Pepsi.

  312. [SPEAKER_00]: They sell you Taco Bell.

  313. [SPEAKER_00]: They sell you pizza.

  314. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not telling you not to drink Pepsi.

  315. [SPEAKER_00]: I'd be a hypocrite if I said that.

  316. [SPEAKER_00]: But let's just want to say this here.

  317. [SPEAKER_00]: It says abstain from the use of intoxicants and strong drinks and tobacco and caffeine.

  318. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to confess that Joseph Smith as a prophet.

  319. [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to have temple marriage and baptism for the dead.

  320. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what they believe.

  321. [SPEAKER_00]: And genealogy research.

  322. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to research all genealogy course.

  323. [SPEAKER_00]: And then let's go on and on and on.

  324. [SPEAKER_00]: And all these things they say,

  325. [SPEAKER_00]: If they, if they do all these things, you will go to the third and highest level of heaven, they say.

  326. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is what they teach.

  327. [SPEAKER_00]: And then you become like Godhood.

  328. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they teach.

  329. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what Mormon has believed.

  330. [SPEAKER_00]: Our job was witnessed.

  331. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe a lot of things, too.

  332. [SPEAKER_00]: They talk about, it all started in 1870.

  333. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know though through everything.

  334. [SPEAKER_00]: It's so, you know, it started from Charles Tays Russell.

  335. [SPEAKER_00]: He had the Washtower Bible.

  336. [SPEAKER_00]: and track society, and that was in 1886.

  337. [SPEAKER_00]: In 1916, Russell passed away in Judge J. F. Rutherford took over.

  338. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe that Jesus is Michael, the Archangel.

  339. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they believe.

  340. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe that he's the highest creative being.

  341. [SPEAKER_00]: They think the salvation is obtained by combination of faith, good works, and obedience, see.

  342. [SPEAKER_00]: The whole good works thing.

  343. [SPEAKER_00]: They think that they reject the doctrine of the Trinity.

  344. [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus to be the created being of and, like we just said, the Holy Spirit is to essentially be the inanimate power of God.

  345. [SPEAKER_00]: They reject the concept of Christ's substitutionary atonement, and instead hold a ransom a theory, the ransom theory, it's what they think of.

  346. [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus death,

  347. [SPEAKER_00]: was a ransom payment for Adamson.

  348. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they think.

  349. [SPEAKER_00]: They think all this.

  350. [SPEAKER_00]: They claim that the church has corrupted the Bible over the centuries.

  351. [SPEAKER_00]: Thus, they have a retranslated Bible.

  352. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they think.

  353. [SPEAKER_00]: To reflect their unique doctrines, they result in a new world translation.

  354. [SPEAKER_00]: You know why they do this?

  355. [SPEAKER_00]: You remember way back when, in Genesis chapter three, when Satan came to Adam and Eve, a sort of retranslating what God's words were.

  356. [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, whenever Satan appeared to Jesus and he started trying to quote the Bible, but he started trying to manipulate certain things when he did that with a Jesus, he quote, so the point is that Satan's always done this, taking the words of God, re-manipulated, re-warded, and he does this for a reason, so that if you don't know the word and you don't live the word and he tries to confuse you, perhaps you will substitute

  357. [SPEAKER_00]: the word for something new for it and you won't recognize the truth and it's again not just salvation through Christ.

  358. [SPEAKER_00]: It's Christ plus.

  359. [SPEAKER_00]: Christ plus.

  360. [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, they don't believe that Jesus is enough.

  361. [SPEAKER_00]: So I could go on and on, except just know this, the message is full of distortions, deceptions, and false doctrine.

  362. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what it's all about.

  363. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me move on to something else here.

  364. [SPEAKER_00]: And then we have, I have some scripts which were easy to help you to know how to fight false doctrine.

  365. [SPEAKER_00]: Galatians 1, 839.

  366. [SPEAKER_00]: Galatians one, eight through nine says, although we or an angel from heaven now, this is Paul speaking, although if we or an angel from heaven preach, any other gospel to you, then the one that we have preached to you to my Jesus, let him be a curse.

  367. [SPEAKER_00]: As we said before, so I say now again, if anyone preached is any other gospel to you, then the one you have received, let him be a curse.

  368. [SPEAKER_00]: any other gospel but salvation through Jesus Christ is a lie.

  369. [SPEAKER_00]: It's manipulation and we should know that.

  370. [SPEAKER_00]: Second John chapter one is the good one.

  371. [SPEAKER_00]: Second John chapter one.

  372. [SPEAKER_00]: We're seven through 11.

  373. [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, second John only has one chapter just so you know.

  374. [SPEAKER_00]: It threw me a thunder when it kept taking the one off of this when I was looking up anyway.

  375. [SPEAKER_00]: So, second John versus 7th or 11th, for many deceivers do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, they've gone out into the world.

  376. [SPEAKER_00]: Each one is a deceiver and anti-Christ, we're not talking about the anti-Christ here, but they are anti-Christ.

  377. [SPEAKER_00]: Watch yourselves so that we do not lose those things for which we have worked, but that we

  378. [SPEAKER_00]: Whoever transgresses and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God.

  379. [SPEAKER_00]: Whoever remains in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

  380. [SPEAKER_00]: If anyone comes to you, it does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house.

  381. [SPEAKER_00]: Nor greet him, listen now, for whoever grids him takes part in his evil deeds.

  382. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, here's the thing, you'll see, have you mentioned Jesus?

  383. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you can mention Jesus.

  384. [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean you have him as a person or whatever.

  385. [SPEAKER_00]: You can believe in him that doesn't mean you have him and know him personally.

  386. [SPEAKER_00]: There's a difference.

  387. [SPEAKER_00]: Romans chapter 16 verse 17 and 18.

    Romans 16:17

  388. [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like at Romans 16 17 and 18.

  389. [SPEAKER_00]: Romans chapter 16 verse 17 and 18.

    Romans 16:17

  390. [SPEAKER_00]: What does Paul say here?

  391. [SPEAKER_00]: Now I urge you, brothers, to closely watch those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary, listen, now, contrary to the teaching what you have learned and avoid them.

  392. [SPEAKER_00]: This whole nonsense of being loving all the time.

  393. [SPEAKER_00]: From you pastor, the aren't you Mr. Loving?

  394. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I am.

  395. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm compassionate, loving, use the Holy Spirit.

  396. [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing, being loving is great.

  397. [SPEAKER_00]: But this whole nonsense of, if you're loving, you'll accept everyone, let them all in your home.

  398. [SPEAKER_00]: All bring them in.

  399. [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, you also have to understand and recognize a wolf.

  400. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I give you a picture there of the coyote, right?

  401. [SPEAKER_00]: If anyone hears a lunatic in a fan, they know something.

  402. [SPEAKER_00]: And that is this.

  403. [SPEAKER_00]: Wadi-Kai-Odi by Chel-Jones.

  404. [SPEAKER_00]: Chel-Jones also made another card game where the sheep were being stolen are trying to be stolen by Ralph, Ralph the wolf.

  405. [SPEAKER_00]: And Ralph the wolf looked absolutely identical, identical to Wadi-Kai-Odi except for one thing, he had a red nose.

  406. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the only difference.

  407. [SPEAKER_00]: But they didn't understand.

  408. [SPEAKER_00]: Sam was the shepherd, our excuse me, what you call, sheep belt, thank you.

  409. [SPEAKER_00]: And he would keep that wolf for coming in.

  410. [SPEAKER_00]: Be careful if people come and see it's a wolf.

  411. [SPEAKER_00]: Trying to come in and steal, and that's what the devil does.

  412. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what they try to do.

  413. [SPEAKER_00]: These coyotes are trying to get salvation.

  414. [SPEAKER_00]: These are people who don't believe they're trying to get salvation, but be careful because right behind them is who Ralph, the wolf, is Satan, trying to manipulate, trying to change things.

  415. [SPEAKER_00]: Be careful of that.

  416. [SPEAKER_00]: They look the same.

  417. [SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason for that.

  418. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not that different.

  419. [SPEAKER_00]: So be very careful.

  420. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just telling you be careful.

  421. [SPEAKER_00]: It says, now, I urge you brothers to closely watch those who cause divisions in our offense, contrary to the teaching, which you have learned and avoid them.

  422. [SPEAKER_00]: For such people do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own appetites and through smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the hearts of the unexpected, all that individual I was talking about, such a sweet person, loving person, ignorant person.

  423. [SPEAKER_00]: Because they have a big heart, but an ignorant heart of very childish heart, very, very naive.

  424. [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people, even yes, Christians have sweet hearts, are very naive.

  425. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't realize there's a wolf bang like a sheep.

  426. [SPEAKER_00]: They have that voice memorized.

  427. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Adam and Eve didn't realize that Satan was dressing up like a serpent.

  428. [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's still safe.

  429. [SPEAKER_00]: No matter how good he was at disguise in things, he's still Satan.

  430. [SPEAKER_00]: You gotta be careful.

  431. [SPEAKER_00]: The be careful.

  432. [SPEAKER_00]: Careful Christians.

  433. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna go through all these things.

  434. [SPEAKER_00]: It's Christian science.

  435. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not Christian nor science.

  436. [SPEAKER_00]: I've said it many times before.

  437. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not.

  438. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe in all sorts of things.

  439. [SPEAKER_00]: It was a woman.

  440. [SPEAKER_00]: by the name of Mary Baker Eddie in 1879.

  441. [SPEAKER_00]: She had a new idea of spirituality and health.

  442. [SPEAKER_00]: And she fooled a lot of people sadly.

  443. [SPEAKER_00]: One of them was one of my favorite actors out of the film where I create and hope he couldn't have no cracks for he died.

  444. [SPEAKER_00]: But as sad, and it wasn't based on science.

  445. [SPEAKER_00]: It was an anti-Christian cult, is what it was.

  446. [SPEAKER_00]: Scientology, it was founded in 1953 by a science fiction author.

  447. [SPEAKER_00]: by L. Ron Hubbard, some Hollywood celebrities have embraced it when being Tom Cruise, who I really like as an actor.

  448. [SPEAKER_00]: But unfortunately, why is it usually rich people because it takes out a lot of money?

  449. [SPEAKER_00]: It's enough a lot of money to be a Scientology.

  450. [SPEAKER_00]: Why does it take a lot of money?

  451. [SPEAKER_00]: Because they make you try to pay your way into salvation, which you cannot do.

  452. [SPEAKER_00]: And they tell them all sorts of stupid things.

  453. [SPEAKER_00]: This is what they say.

  454. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll just tell you a few things.

  455. [SPEAKER_00]: Man kind is an immortal being.

  456. [SPEAKER_00]: They call it Thetons.

  457. [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and the, uh, Hi, creature.

  458. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they, they, they marches manhunter here.

  459. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, they, uh, uh, so they said that man is trapped by matter, energy and space and time.

  460. [SPEAKER_00]: They call all this together.

  461. [SPEAKER_00]: Mest.

  462. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, and then the industry space time, all that's the mist, it's a mess.

  463. [SPEAKER_00]: All right.

  464. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, so the salvation comes to a process called auditing, whereby in grams, they call it, that's memory's past pain and also nonsense.

  465. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, they say all this is together and it's blockage.

  466. [SPEAKER_00]: It's energy.

  467. [SPEAKER_00]: It's all blockage and they need to be removed.

  468. [SPEAKER_00]: I feel bad for them.

  469. [SPEAKER_00]: And so it takes a lot of money and all this stuff and and they say, it tell you reach this last

  470. [SPEAKER_00]: place of mess and stuff being removed.

  471. [SPEAKER_00]: That's when you get the feet and then comes into reincarnation and then through all of that, they finally get to the last level and that's how they get saved.

  472. [SPEAKER_00]: Scientology denies existence of God of the Bible, heaven and hell.

  473. [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus Christ was simply a good teacher who unfortunately was wrongfully put the death.

  474. [SPEAKER_00]: Scientology denies the deity of Christ.

  475. [SPEAKER_00]: There are multiple gods, and that some gods are above other gods, this what they teach, mankind is inherently good, and it is despicable and utterly beneath contempt to tell a man that he must repent and that he is evil.

  476. [SPEAKER_00]: So don't you dare tell someone they're wrong or that they're evil or that they're going to hell, because that's evil of you to say so.

  477. [SPEAKER_00]: You heard the people say that does not?

  478. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't you say it does not?

  479. [SPEAKER_00]: How dare you judge me for judging you about you judging others?

  480. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that in the upcoming term.

  481. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, these are things they teach in Scientology.

  482. [SPEAKER_00]: Then there's a Hinduism, 33 million fake gods they have, 33 main ones.

  483. [SPEAKER_00]: And I won't be in all that.

  484. [SPEAKER_00]: Then there's Buddhism.

  485. [SPEAKER_00]: Countless gods, many fake gods, 33 main ones, Buddha, means to awaken one.

  486. [SPEAKER_00]: And in light and one, the one I always think of is Nepal, also known as Sidhartha, he's the fat laughing Buddha.

  487. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you've seen him.

  488. [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, he's sitting on a big bag of laughter, as what he's supposed to be.

  489. [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's Islam, you know, for the Muslims.

  490. [SPEAKER_00]: They have one God, and that's monotheistic, you know, one God, anything beyond that is a polytheism, and our polytheistic.

  491. [SPEAKER_00]: And their God's name is Allah.

  492. [SPEAKER_00]: And they try to put it off as if it's the God that you worship.

  493. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not.

  494. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not Yahweh.

  495. [SPEAKER_00]: It is not, it's not him at all.

  496. [SPEAKER_00]: They try to pull them off the same God, but it is not.

  497. [SPEAKER_00]: And don't let someone tell you it is.

  498. [SPEAKER_00]: It is not the Lord God.

  499. [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone says, Olla is your God.

  500. [SPEAKER_00]: No, it is not.

  501. [SPEAKER_00]: It is a lie.

  502. [SPEAKER_00]: And these poor people believe that they're worshiping Him.

  503. [SPEAKER_00]: They are not.

  504. [SPEAKER_00]: then there is in Hawaii, the Hawaiian polytheistic gods, 40,000 fake gods, four major ones.

  505. [SPEAKER_00]: It was Cain, it was his creation, there's Coo, which is the Goto War, Luno, Goto Agriculture, and then there's a canola.

  506. [SPEAKER_00]: That's right, Konola, the God of Ocean, and there's so many other, so many others, but here's the thing with all the cults as I said before, all these beliefs, you have to earn your destiny, earn your eternity, earn your salvation, and it's all alive.

  507. [SPEAKER_00]: John 3, 16 tells us something different.

  508. [SPEAKER_00]: We know this through the Lord God Almighty.

  509. [SPEAKER_00]: He came as his son.

  510. [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get through that too.

  511. [SPEAKER_00]: Ephesians 2, 8 through 10 says, for by grace you have been saved through faith.

  512. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is not of yourselves.

  513. [SPEAKER_00]: It is the gift of God.

  514. [SPEAKER_00]: You cannot earn your way to heaven.

  515. [SPEAKER_00]: It can't be done.

  516. [SPEAKER_00]: It is the gift of God.

  517. [SPEAKER_00]: Not of words verse 9 says, listen, not of words so that no one should boast.

  518. [SPEAKER_00]: for we are His workmanship.

  519. [SPEAKER_00]: We are His workmanship created and Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we should walk in them, but pastor, if that's the case, why are we supposed to do good?

  520. [SPEAKER_00]: You do good not because that's what saves you, but because you're saved, you do good.

  521. [SPEAKER_00]: You do good because you want to serve the Lord God, and you do good because you have already been saved in our holy creature as the Bible says in the creation.

  522. [SPEAKER_00]: Titus III, five and six, not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing and rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.

  523. [SPEAKER_00]: Galatians 216.

  524. [SPEAKER_00]: Relations to 16 yet we know that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ rather than by works of the law, for by works of the law, no flesh shall be justified.

  525. [SPEAKER_00]: Romans, oh Romans, you know, I like the book of Romans.

  526. [SPEAKER_00]: Romans chapter 3, 23, you've heard me say to me in times, but with that I'm gonna put verse 24, for all have sin and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

    Romans 3 chapter mention

  527. [SPEAKER_00]: We have been saved through the grace of Christ.

  528. [SPEAKER_00]: We have faith in Him, and thank you, Lord God, when the day comes, when I leave this world, I am saved, because I know, I know without a shadow it out.

  529. [SPEAKER_00]: That Jesus Christ saw that cross, not from the cross, when He rose from the dead, He saved me.

  530. [SPEAKER_00]: He saved all of my sins, not the ones I've done, but the ones I've done, the ones I have in doing, so to speak, the ones I will do, I am saved every single one of them, they're all gone, they're all under the blood.

  531. [SPEAKER_00]: Romans 116, and if by grace, then it is no longer by works.

  532. [SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, grace would no longer be by grace.

  533. [SPEAKER_00]: But if I works, then it is no longer by grace.

  534. [SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, work would no longer be work.

  535. [SPEAKER_00]: Folks, last but not least, Roman Catholicism.

  536. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not the same as the others.

  537. [SPEAKER_00]: Not by the same.

  538. [SPEAKER_00]: It is in some ways.

  539. [SPEAKER_00]: There are Catholics who know the Lord Jesus Christ.

  540. [SPEAKER_00]: And I know that.

  541. [SPEAKER_00]: I've met many of them.

  542. [SPEAKER_00]: However, sadly, they follow a leader too.

  543. [SPEAKER_00]: You know the Pope.

  544. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe they have to earn a salvation.

  545. [SPEAKER_00]: Many of them, many of them, sadly, the majority of them, believe that they have to do good.

  546. [SPEAKER_00]: In order to go to heaven, they have to go in.

  547. [SPEAKER_00]: They're taught this, it's not all the fault.

  548. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't realize they're in paganism.

  549. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't realize that.

  550. [SPEAKER_00]: And what I mean by that, well, whenever they're trying to get the people of Rome to come over to Christianity, they decided to take what they learned about the gods, the minor gods, and they made it and called them saints.

  551. [SPEAKER_00]: And so they have a lot of unbiblical, unbiblical bogus beliefs by this.

  552. [SPEAKER_00]: So they took those things, they married even, they prayed to her.

  553. [SPEAKER_00]: They have her as one of the false gods.

  554. [SPEAKER_00]: They did that, which is terrible.

  555. [SPEAKER_00]: really are not only on biblical, that's really kind of evil and it's sad to do that.

  556. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe to go in their all these traditions with the communion, which we're going to take here in a minute.

  557. [SPEAKER_00]: They do it every single week, but one of the beliefs they have is that the bread literally, literally, and mystically, who becomes the flesh of Jesus and the wine they don't drink grape juice.

  558. [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, this is not wine.

  559. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to think you're going to go home for no this is it's probably well just but when you when you go to the Roman church

  560. [SPEAKER_00]: It is wine, and when they drink the wine, they think it literally becomes the blood of Jesus Christ and you're drinking his blood.

  561. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you have a vampire, but they think that that's what you're doing, and they think that if you don't literally drink his blood and literally eat his flesh, they think if you don't do that, then you don't go to heaven.

  562. [SPEAKER_00]: They think every week you have to eat his skin and drink his blood or you are going to hell.

  563. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, where does the faith come in?

  564. [SPEAKER_00]: Where does the scripture come in?

  565. [SPEAKER_00]: Come on.

  566. [SPEAKER_00]: They think that you have to pray to Mary.

  567. [SPEAKER_00]: And oh, you have to have the beads.

  568. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to have all these beads and pray to every single one of them.

  569. [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to have all this, why?

  570. [SPEAKER_00]: Because if tradition is not all their fault, they're lied to, but this is also a cult because, and I'm not talking all of them, you know that, I don't think you say that again.

  571. [SPEAKER_00]: But it's all this cult is stuff that has been added to it, and they believe you got to do it.

  572. [SPEAKER_00]: Got to do it, got to do it.

  573. [SPEAKER_00]: It's sad.

  574. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's see what the Bible says.

  575. [SPEAKER_00]: First of all, know this, those saints, I told you about, by the way, you're a saint, the moment you get saved, you're a saint.

  576. [SPEAKER_00]: But these saints that they've got that was for false gods at one time, I could go through all, you know, I already did it in the sermon earlier this year.

  577. [SPEAKER_00]: I went through every single one of them in Norway, they call it Thor, but who is Jupiter?

  578. [SPEAKER_00]: Who was Jupiter?

  579. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know him, he was, he was, I can't think of anything.

  580. [SPEAKER_00]: What was his name, Jeremy?

  581. [SPEAKER_00]: Zeus, thank you.

  582. [SPEAKER_00]: Zeus was his name.

  583. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so here's the thing, uh, you're not supposed to have other gods for the Lord God, says in Exodus chapter 20 verse 3, you should have no other gods before me, no other gods before me.

    Exodus 20:3

  584. [SPEAKER_00]: John 146, John 146, Jesus said to him, I and the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.

  585. [SPEAKER_00]: We go to God by Jesus and Jesus alone, not by Mary,

  586. [SPEAKER_00]: not by the saints of whatever, the saints of baked bread or whatever they got they got sense of everything.

  587. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm surprised they don't have the saying and shaving your head, but they got the saying of everything.

  588. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's be honest, brother Dan and I be doing the same thing, but they got the sense of everything.

  589. [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, but they also have Colossians 3 17.

  590. [SPEAKER_00]: What does this say?

  591. [SPEAKER_00]: And whatever you do in order to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, given things to God

  592. [SPEAKER_00]: One other one, this is the one.

  593. [SPEAKER_00]: Cause remember, they also say you could lose your salvation.

  594. [SPEAKER_00]: You will lose your salvation.

  595. [SPEAKER_00]: It has to go back every single week.

  596. [SPEAKER_00]: Talk to the folks, talk to the priest, talk to them.

  597. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, as I say, if folks, they're not alone.

  598. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not alone.

  599. [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of denominations, T's the same thing.

  600. [SPEAKER_00]: a lot of ministers on TV say the same thing.

  601. [SPEAKER_00]: Some say so you give money every week.

  602. [SPEAKER_00]: Some say so that you could put your hand in head to say, hey, bro, I tried that.

  603. [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't work.

  604. [SPEAKER_00]: Some say some do this stuff.

  605. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, why they do this?

  606. [SPEAKER_00]: Why they do this?

  607. [SPEAKER_00]: Why they do this?

  608. [SPEAKER_00]: Why they do this?

  609. [SPEAKER_00]: Why they do this?

  610. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they want to fool you.

  611. [SPEAKER_00]: Scared you.

  612. [SPEAKER_00]: Scared you into giving.

  613. [SPEAKER_00]: Scared you to do the same folks.

  614. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't want God to support God.

  615. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what it says here.

  616. [SPEAKER_00]: John 10, 207 to 30, John 10, 207 to 30, Jesus says, My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.

  617. [SPEAKER_00]: I give them eternal life.

  618. [SPEAKER_00]: They shall never perish.

  619. [SPEAKER_00]: Nor shall anyone snatched them from my hand.

  620. [SPEAKER_00]: My father has given them to me.

  621. [SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, I was saying my father, who has given them to me is greater than, oh, no one is able to snack him from my father's hand, verse 30, my father, and I are one, they are one, and I'll finish up here, malicious egotism, malicious egotism, the word malicious.

  622. [SPEAKER_00]: The word malicious means having or showing a desire to cause harm to someone.

  623. [SPEAKER_00]: Given to mark by or arising from malice, that's the devil.

  624. [SPEAKER_00]: The devil is working this within people.

  625. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean that I think people are specifically trying to hurt other people, although there are some who do.

  626. [SPEAKER_00]: The people who cause those false religions, they do what they are doing.

  627. [SPEAKER_00]: They are trying to make money, Joseph Smith and others.

  628. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not all of them, but many of them, let's be honest.

  629. [SPEAKER_00]: and then egotism, the prideful, the fool himself.

  630. [SPEAKER_00]: You know that while the coyote, he goes around with hard, ending out saying that he's a genius.

  631. [SPEAKER_00]: You know the problem with the arrogant, egotistical atheist and others, they think you're smarter than God.

  632. [SPEAKER_00]: They think they're so smart the reason I'm done.

  633. [SPEAKER_00]: They're too smart to believe in such a thing.

  634. [SPEAKER_00]: That takes faith.

  635. [SPEAKER_00]: They're too brilliant to have faith.

  636. [SPEAKER_00]: We have to have proof.

  637. [SPEAKER_00]: Funny thing is they'll believe in things that there is no proof of atheism and other things.

  638. [SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, I'm gonna say evolution and other things.

  639. [SPEAKER_00]: They believe there's proof in that.

  640. [SPEAKER_00]: They can look at a rock they see.

  641. [SPEAKER_00]: Too busy in years old and like you know how to tell there's a bump on there that bump it We used to be used to be the nose of a but it's a lot of other tourists and and they're just making it up make it up folks I couldn't say anything.

  642. [SPEAKER_00]: I could be saying think that doesn't mean that's not smart.

  643. [SPEAKER_00]: That's dumb That you're having faith in stupidity.

  644. [SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather have faith in the one who created all things I'm not gonna be in fiscal that way, but the thing is that they will look at you as a

  645. [SPEAKER_00]: You cannot be educational as a Christian, not really.

  646. [SPEAKER_00]: Your pride cannot be in your cell.

  647. [SPEAKER_00]: It has to be in the Lord God Jesus.

  648. [SPEAKER_00]: The truth is, in order to be a Christian, you have to be humble, fall before Him at the cross and ask Him to save you.

  649. [SPEAKER_00]: Eogethism, you already know what it is.

  650. [SPEAKER_00]: Excessed use of personal signal, signal of a person growing out, you already know what it is.

  651. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a exaggerated sense of self-importance and conceit.

  652. [SPEAKER_00]: Approverbs 813 says, fear the Lord, the fear the Lord is the hate evil, pride and arrogance and evil way, and the perverse mouth, I hate God said this.

  653. [SPEAKER_00]: He said in Proverbs 1618, pride goes before destruction and a high spirit before the fall.

  654. [SPEAKER_00]: So here's the thing.

  655. [SPEAKER_00]: These people are trying to catch salvation.

  656. [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't catch salvation.

  657. [SPEAKER_00]: God caught you.

  658. [SPEAKER_00]: God caught you.

  659. [SPEAKER_00]: looking for an answer.

  660. [SPEAKER_00]: God caught you.

  661. [SPEAKER_00]: We think that we, and I don't mean you personally, but some people think, I'm so smart, I've got to know you did.

  662. [SPEAKER_00]: The only wisdom you have through the Holy Spirit is our brother mentioned earlier.

  663. [SPEAKER_00]: The only wisdom we have through the Holy Spirit, God caught us.

  664. [SPEAKER_00]: So you can be in Christ to guide you through the Holy Spirit, which is the

  665. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't, only God can catch you when you lay him.

  666. [SPEAKER_00]: So don't run from God.

  667. [SPEAKER_00]: Quick, running from God.

  668. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're running from God right now, maybe there's a problem in your life, Christian, or others.

  669. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're running from God right now.

  670. [SPEAKER_00]: And you try to answer it all yourself.

  671. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're trying to be like the genius that the coyotes and others are trying to do.

  672. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't do that.

  673. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're hungry, you like the coyote.

  674. [SPEAKER_00]: Quit doing that, quit trying to catch up with salvation, stop, stop chasing, stop, and let salvation come to you through Christ and Christ alone.

  675. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't run anymore.

  676. [SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 32 says, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.

  677. [SPEAKER_00]: I will counsel you with my eye on you.

  678. [SPEAKER_00]: There's so many more, but I will end with this one, probably three, five, through six.

  679. [SPEAKER_00]: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, I mean, not to their own understanding.

  680. [SPEAKER_00]: And all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.

  681. [SPEAKER_00]: And the very last one, the very last one.

  682. [SPEAKER_00]: As you see a lot of people who are trying to be like acne and all, I'm not talking about that part, do you know what I'm talking about?

  683. [SPEAKER_00]: Those atheistic, cultic, malicious egotism, taking their life, pray for.

  684. [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, you're not smarter than them.

  685. [SPEAKER_00]: You just stop and God caught you and the Holy Spirit gave you the wisdom that you needed.

  686. [SPEAKER_00]: It's only because Christ is in you that you have any wisdom at all.

  687. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the reason why we know more.

  688. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the reason because we knew that we couldn't catch what was in ours, but God gave us salvation.

  689. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so grateful for it.

  690. [SPEAKER_00]: Listen what John 1426 says as we go to the Lord and prayer.

  691. [SPEAKER_00]: John 1426 says, but the counselor, the Holy Spirit, who in the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything.

  692. [SPEAKER_00]: It reminds you of all that I told you.

  693. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go to the Lord and prayer.

  694. [SPEAKER_00]: We're God.

  695. [SPEAKER_00]: We pray right now for the millions or billions or more.

  696. [SPEAKER_00]: They've given themselves over to a record-baked mind, who's given themselves over to going into eternal damnation.

  697. [SPEAKER_00]: Lord God, for so many who think you're too smart to believe in you.

  698. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not all their fault.

  699. [SPEAKER_00]: I know they've been surrounded by bad company.

  700. [SPEAKER_00]: That's correct, it did morals.

  701. [SPEAKER_00]: But Lord, they do make the choice.

  702. [SPEAKER_00]: And Lord, I pray that you will send people in their lives to help them get away from that.

  703. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray, Lord, you'll give courage to the Christian.

  704. [SPEAKER_00]: And I pray, Lord God, that they will speak up and allow you to speak through them, not in their time with yours.

  705. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray right now, Lord God, for those who believe that they're saved and they've gone to the wrong places and they believe they're going to heaven because they've gone out and handed out tracks and other things and they've been lied to so long from different coats.

  706. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray, Lord God, you will give them way to escape.

  707. [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm also grateful, Lord, that you have used different people to help.

  708. [SPEAKER_00]: get the people out of there.

  709. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray that more will escape Lord Jesus Christ and there will be no more traps to these places that thank to so smart that they've got it all figured out.

  710. [SPEAKER_00]: These things that in places that think that they have to earn their way, and they cannot do it.

  711. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray for your will on their life.

  712. [SPEAKER_00]: For all the people who here today, Lord God, I pray you will use them Lord to your will and continue to use this now.

  713. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray, Lord, you also bless, Lord, the communion with Beth, Pertigo.

  714. [SPEAKER_00]: I pray all this in your name, amen.
