Oh
We have brother Joel coming for baptism this evening
the joy of you trusted Christ as your Savior then I baptized in the name of
the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost
the service and we'll have our Bible reading at this time
burn if you would the Matthew chapter number one Matthew chapter number one
Matthew chapter number one all along in your Bible starting at verse number one
the Bible read the book of the generation of Jesus Christ the son of
David the son of Abraham Abraham begat Isaac and Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob
begat Judas and his brethren and Judas begat Pherez and Zara Paimar and Pherez
begat Esraam and Esraam begat Aram and Aram begat Amminadab and Amminadab begat
Nason and Nason begat Salmon and Salmon begat Boaz of Rehkab and Boaz begat Obed
of Ruth and Obed begat Jesse and Jesse begat David the king and David the king
begat Solomon of Pherez that had been the wife of Uriah and Solomon begat
Reboam and Reboam begat Abaya and Abaya begat Asa and Asa begat Josaphat and
Josaphat begat Joram and Joram begat Ozias and Ozias begat Joatham and
Joatham begat Akaz and Akaz begat Ezekiel and Ezekiel begat Manassas and Manassas
begat Ammon and Ammon begat Josias and Josias begat Jeconias and his brethren
about the time they were carried away to Babylon and after they were brought to
Babylon Jeconias begat Silathiel and Silathiel begat Zerubbabel and Zerubbabel
begat Abayad and Abayad begat Eliakim and Eliakim begat Azor and Azor begat
Sadok and Sadok begat Akim and Akim begat Elias and Elias begat Eliezer and
Eliezer begat Mathen and Mathen begat Jacob and Jacob begat Joseph the husband
of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ so all the generations
from Abraham to David are 14 generations and from David under the carrying away
into Babylon are 14 generations and from the carrying away into Babylon under
Christ are 14 generations now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise when
as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost then Joseph her husband being a just man and
not willing to make her a public example was minded to put her away privately but
while he thought on these things behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him
in a dream saying Joseph thou son of David fear not to take unto thee Mary
thy wife for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost and she shall
bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his
people from their sins now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the board by the prophet saying behold a virgin shall be with
child and shall break forth the son and they shall call his name Emmanuel which
being interpreted is God with us then Joseph being raised from sleep did as
the angel of the Lord had been in him and took unto him his wife and knew her
not so she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name
Jesus let's bow our head for let's bow our heads for a word of prayer father we
thank you so much for the fire-breathing Baptist fellowship and for the
opportunity that we have to gather together in your name and listen to
some hard preaching we pray now that you would fill pastor Roger Jimenez with
your spirit and enable him to preach your word boldly give him clarity of
mind and also help us to pay attention to the message so we can listen and
learn in Jesus name I pray amen amen all right well thank you very much for being
here tonight I want to just begin first of all by saying thank you for all of
you that are that are here and all of you that stayed even after the pizza you
already got the pizza and you stayed and I appreciate you doing that thank you
very much and I know many of you've traveled long ways and we're glad glad
you're here I'm happy to be here great turnout tonight and I appreciate you
coming out of course I want to say thank you to pastor Shelley and mrs. Shelley
for their hospitality and I want to say thank you to steadfast Baptist Church
for everything you do and everything you are and putting it on this event and
everywhere I go whenever I show up the first question people usually ask me is
did you bring your wife and people always want to meet my wife and I say no
I didn't bring my wife to this trip and then the next question they'll ask is
did you bring any puppets and I'll say no I didn't bring any puppets then
they'll ask did you bring the puppy and I say no and they're like okay and then
they walk off I I did bring our deacon brother Oliver and I know he's not much
but he's all I got all right so if you'd like to meet him make sure you say hi to
him and there's several from our church here from California and I appreciate
them being here of course and you know I I want to just let steadfast Baptist
Church know of course you're in our prayers you guys have been dealing with
a lot this year going through a lot and you know I I want to say I appreciate it
and I may be a little selfish in it obviously I'm praying for you but when
you you think about the lawsuit you're dealing with this lawsuit you've got
these protests you've got the financial fraud I mean and all of it in Texas you
guys are making California look good so I I appreciate your your faithfulness
with that tonight I'm preaching on a specific subject and the the the title
of the sermon if you will is my body my choice I'm preaching on this subject or
this idea of my body my choice and of course if you when you hear that your
your mind should go to the issue of abortions and my body my choice is the
mantra or the rallying call of the abortion crowd I wanted to speak on this
I hear because of course this something that's been on the news a lot lately
especially in Texas the state of Texas last month passed what's being referred
to as a heartbeat law and they say it's one of the most restrictive abortion
laws in the country as a result there have been protests in Austin and
Washington DC really all over the country there was a protest in
Sacramento California as a result of it as well and and it's something that
people have been talking about but I'm not necessarily just preaching about
abortions tonight the sermon tonight's gonna gonna have two parts to it first I
do want to talk about abortions and deal with the subject of abortions but then I
also want to talk about the COVID vaccine and and and the mandates so
we'll kind of talk about abortions here for a little bit and then we'll we'll
shift gears and talk a little bit about the mandates I want to talk about this
phrase my body my choice because again this is a phrase that is being used by
by by the abortion crowd they'll say the reason that we should be able to abort
a child in the womb is because hey it's my body my choice that's what they'll
say and of course we as by believing Christians reject that we do not believe
that my body my choice is a valid argument for abortion so let me just
begin by being clear with that my body my choice is not a valid reason to allow
abortions now you may ask why and here's the thing as Bible believing Christians
we should not only believe the Bible obviously that's the main thing we
should also know not only what we believe but why we believe it why is it
that we take these positions and if you ask the question my body my choice what
why why is that not valid as an argument for the abortion crowd well it's not
valid because abortion is murder my body my choice is not a valid reason because
abortion is murder the Bible teaches that life begins at conception you're
there in Matthew chapter 1 I'd like you to look down at verse number 18 notice
what the Bible says Matthew 1 18 it says this now the birth of Jesus Christ and
of course this is a passage that's often usually read during Christmas time but
we'll see some application and truth here it says now the birth of Jesus
Christ was on this wise when as his mother Mary was as follows to Joseph
before they came together she was found notice these words with child of the
here the Bible references the fact that Mary is expecting she's pregnant and the
Bible calls it being with child look down at verse number 23 same chapter he
says this behold a virgin shall be notice the words with child once you
notice what the Bible calls pregnancy it doesn't call it a fetus it doesn't call
it an embryo it doesn't call it a blob of tissue it calls it a child it says
behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall
call his name Immanuel which being interpreted is God with us now go with
me if you would just real quickly to the book of Isaiah Old Testament book of
Isaiah Isaiah chapter number seven and many of you are familiar with these
passages but I like us to look at them just kind of by way of introduction
Isaiah chapter 7 if you start towards the end of the Old Testament you'll find
those big major prophets Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Isaiah chapter
number 7 and here's the question because you you show people that verse and we'll
say look the Bible calls a a child a being a human in the womb calls it a
child she's with child but the argument is this well when does it become a child
does it become a child at six weeks does it become a child when you can hear the
heartbeat does it become a child at three months six months does it become a
child once it's birth when does it become a child well the Bible answers
this for us because the Bible by the way has the answers to all of life's
questions and what's interesting is that this this verse in Matthew 1 23 behold a
virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall call
his name Immanuel which being interpreted as God with us this is
actually a quote from the book of Isaiah Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14 now in Isaiah
the wording is a little different and it's not because there's a problem or a
contradiction it's because the Bible our King James Bible is its own dictionary
and oftentimes you know the Bible says that we should compare spiritual things
with spiritual and oftentimes when you can take a quote from the Old Testament
in the New Testament and compare them side by side when you see differences
that's not contradictions it's God given us synonyms or given us some
insight and allowing allowing the spiritual word of God to show us what he
means so in Matthew 1 23 he said a virgin shall be with child well when
did that begin did we begin once the the baby developed a heartbeat did it begin
at six weeks or 12 weeks or six months when did it become a child Isaiah 7 14
therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign now notice here comes a quote
that it that we find in Matthew behold a virgin shall notice what it says conceive
and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel and Matthew it said behold a
virgin shall be with child here it says behold a virgin shall conceive it's
using the term with child and conceive synonymously why here's why because it
becomes a child at conception it's not an embryo that turns into a child it's
not a blob of tissue or a fetus that turns into a child at the moment of
conception God looks down and says hey she's with child it's a human being see
my body my choice is not a valid reason for abortion because abortion is murder
these women they say well it's my body yeah but what about the body of the baby
what it's my choice what about the choice of baby my body my choice my
choice is is invalid as an argument for abortion because of the fact that
abortion is murder abortion ends life why because in the womb it is a child in
the womb it is a human in the womb it is a person why because life begins at
conception not only does life begin at conception but let me say this life
begins before the body is even formed go to Jeremiah chapter 1 if you wouldn't
you're there in in in in Isaiah right after Isaiah you've got the book of
Jeremiah Jeremiah chapter 1 and let me say this you know obviously thank God
for any law that makes abortions a little harder and all of that but even
the heartbeat law it's not enough it's not it's not that oh well once it has a
heartbeat now it's alive no it had a heartbeat the moment there was cons excuse
me it was alive it was a human the moment there was conception even if
there was no heartbeat because not only does life begin at conception but life
begins before the body itself is even formed Jeremiah 1 look at verse 5 notice
what the Bible says here notice what God says down says to the prophet Jeremiah
he says before I form thee notice before I form thee what does that mean before
his body was formed before the heart was created before it began to be he
said before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee before thou came his fourth
out of the womb what does that mean before you were birthed he said I
sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet unto the nation see God looks
down at Jeremiah says hey before I formed you I knew you I had a plan for
you I had a purpose for you before you even in birth you said I had a plan and
a purpose and by the way that's not just Jeremiah it's everybody every child
in this room ought to know that God has a plan and God has a purpose for their
life he says before I formed thee in the
belly I knew thee before thou came his fourth out of the womb I sanctified thee
go with me if you would to the book of Psalms Psalm 139 you're there in
Jeremiah to go backwards you've got Isaiah song of Solomon Ecclesiastes
Proverbs Psalm Psalm 139 while you turn there let me just read to you a little
article about this law that was passed in Texas obviously those of you that are
Texans you're familiar with this I'm sure it says Texas law sparks hundreds
of US protests against abortion this article is written October 2nd which was
just this last weekend so it's pretty pretty up-to-date it says women marched
by the thousands on Saturday on the Supreme Court the Texas Capitol and
cities across the United States to protest increasing state restrictions on
abortion and advocate the maintaining for maintaining a constitutional right
to the procedure obviously we're against this it says the 660 demonstrations I
thought that was an interesting number there must have been six they didn't
account for 660 demonstrations around the United States were largely sparked
by a Texas law that bans abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy the measure
which went into effect last month is the most restrictive in the country in
the Texas capital of Austin hundreds gathered in sweltering heat to denounce
the so-called heartbeat law signed by Governor Greg Abbott it bans abortion
after cardiac activity is detected in the embryo usually around six weeks
that is before most women know they are pregnant and earlier than 85 to 90
percent of all abortions that are carried out experts say the law requires
an ordinary citizen to enforce the ban which makes no exceptions for rape or
incense rewarding them at least 10,000 if they successfully sue anyone who
helped provide an illegal abortion Washington protesters marched to the US
Supreme Court two days before the court reconvenes for a session in which the
justices will consider the Mississippi case that could enable them to overturn
abortion rights established in the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade case and
again I'm thankful for anything that is done to end or to try to slow down the
abortion holocaust in in our country but we as by believing Christians number
one we need to be clear and and we need to be careful we were having lunch this
this afternoon with the pastors and you know they were talking about this law
and and and and and you know giving some thoughts about it and things like that
and you know as by believing Christians something that was brought up in the
conversation is we need to be careful with these Republicans you know
virtue signaling some some law that is it's it's not enough and again I'm
thankful for anyone that does anything against abortions let me tell you
something it's not it's not an embryo that it gets a heartbeat it's it's it's
a human being from the moment it was conceived heartbeat or not body or not
it's a human being and we as by believing Christians need to be clear
about that need to communicate that need to express that need to understand what
we believe the life begins at conception and life begins before the
body is formed are you there in Psalm 139 look at verse 13 Psalm 139 in verse
13 for thou has possessed my reigns thou has covered me notice what he says the
psalmist says thou has covered me in my mother's womb I will praise thee for I'm
fearfully and wonderfully made marvelous are thy works and that my soul knows
right well no service 15 my substance that's the biblical word my substance
not fetus not embryo not blob of tissue my substance was not hit from me when I
was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth notice
verse 16 thine eyes did see my substance yet being notice this word on perfect
now the word perfect in our King James Bible doesn't mean without error the way
we would use it today the word perfect means complete or whole notice what he
says he says my substance was not hit from me when I was made in secret and
curiously lot in the lowest parts of the earth thine eyes did see my substance
yet being on perfect he said even while my body was incomplete in thy book all
my members were written which in continuance were fashioned he said while
you were still fashioning which in continuance were fashioning while you
were still fashioning my body he says when as yet there was none of them
understand what that means he said before there was before I even had any
body parts thine eyes did see my substance he said while my body was
still on perfect while it was still being fashioned while it was still a
being worked on he said my substance was not hid from thee thine eyes did see my
substance what does that mean here's what it means before the body is
complete while it's still in continuance being fashioned it is a human being why
because life begins at conception which means life begins before the body is
even formed which means that life begins the moment that there's conception not
six weeks later when you hear a heartbeat my body my choice is not a
valid reason for abortions why to allow abortions because abortion is murder but
let me just say this not only is abortion murder my body my choice is not
a valid reason for abortions because abortions are brutal I don't want to go
into the details of an abortion but let me just read a little article here for
you this comes from a website called abortion facts calm and it talks about a
film and I'm just gonna read this for you and I'm gonna tell you I haven't
watched this film and I don't I don't need to watch the film and I just think
it illustrates something it says this the brutality of an abortion is
graphically demonstrated and dr. Bernard Nathanson's classic film the silent
scream the first widely circulated ultrasound of an actual abortion it
shows a child serenely resting in her mother's womb suddenly the child is
alarmed because of the intruding abortion device she moves as far away as
she can trying desperately to save her life just before her body is torn to
pieces and sucked out through the vacuum tube her tiny mouth opens in an unheard
scream of terror after the abortion the doctor who performed it was invited to
view the ultrasound he was so upset with what he saw that he left the room
though he had performed over 10,000 abortions he never performed another
one again abortions not only murder abortion is brutal and again these women
say and these protesters say my body my choice what about the baby's body what
about the baby's choice why don't we why don't we allow the baby hey how about we
allow the baby to decide maybe the baby would like to make a decision on whether
she'd be aborted or not hey how about we let the baby decide you know the baby
has a body too what about the baby's body the baby's choice maybe the baby
wants to abort the mom if you ever thought about that you know the Bible
teaches the Bible teaches you should treat people the way you'd like to be
treated now this is actually a law that God gives us when it comes to our
relationships love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and and and it also says
to love thy neighbor as thyself but this is also a principle that God used
in his legal system of Old Testament Israel to provide justice go to the book
of Exodus if you would Exodus chapter number 21 Genesis Exodus Exodus chapter
21 when you get there do me a favor and put a ribbon or a bookmark there because
we're gonna leave it and we're gonna come back to it Exodus 21 but you know
let me just say this what if the baby what if the baby wants to abort the mom
how about we ram a device into the skull of the mom and and and vacuum out her
brain see how she likes it then I don't think you should talk like that well
that's what they're doing to these babies that's what they're doing to
these innocent lives in the womb in the place that should be the safest for a
child the womb of a mother we live in a country today that says you can go into
that sacred womb and end the life under the argument my body my choice under the
argument well I get to choose I'm the one that's gonna carry this child the
Bible says that a just punishment is to have done to you what you have done to
others now in the New Testament with with a little bit of a more positive
spin it's funny to me the liberals they love the love thy neighbor as they self
love thy neighbor as they self and I'm not mocking it there's a great
principle but then the same people will mock the Old Testament when it says and
I for an eye here's what they don't understand an eye for an eye is just the
same principle treat people the way you'd like to be treated flipped in a
negative side for the purposes of justice the Bible teaches and look I'm
not saying that this needs to happen to people that I perform abortions or that
I've had abortions obviously they you know I believe that our government
should should start a law you know forget the heartbeat law how about just
uphold the murder law and say abortion is murder and and anyone who performs
abortion from here on out hey forget bringing a lawsuit for ten thousand
dollars how about an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth that's actually what
the criminal justice system should do because the Bible says that that's what
justice is and again I'm not saying that we need to go back and do that to people
that have performed abortions or done abortions obviously that's not the law
in the land in which we live and let me say this if you're here tonight and
you've had an abortion I'm not picking on you I'm not mad at you maybe you did
that in your past you didn't know it was it was wrong or you before you were
saved or whatever obviously God loves you God forgives you confess it to God
as sin and move on with your life you'll see that baby in heaven I'm not here to
pick on you but I am here to say hey my body my choice is invalid and and what
the Bible says is that just punishment is to have done to you what you have
done to others X now the verses I want you to look at our Exodus 21 verse 24
and 25 but just to give you the context though look at verse 22 because I think
the context is very fitting Exodus 21 22 if men strive and hurt a woman with
child here's a woman that's pregnant two guys are fighting they're kind of
wrestling and they accidentally bump into or hurt a woman with child notice
what it says so that her fruit depart she loses the child she loses the life
of the child it says so that her fruit depart from her and yet no mischief
follow what that means is it wasn't done on purpose it wasn't done maliciously
it was an accident what we would call manslaughter they didn't set out to kill
the baby but that's what happened there's still a punishment for it he
shall surely be punished according as the woman's husband will lay upon him
and he shall pay the judges pay as the judges determined notice verse 23 and if
any mischief follow you can you can you can write right next to that planned
parenthood abortion clinics this is that means they did it on purpose
they're trying to end a pregnancy they're trying to take the life of a
child in the womb and if any mischief follow then thou shalt give life for
life eye for eye tooth for tooth hand for hand foot for foot burning for
burning wound for wound strike for strike so that you guys are angry no no
this is love how many kills a child somebody kills a child God says life for
life you you said that they should stick a vacuum in their brain and suck their
brains out burning for burning wound for wound strike for strike you want to end
abortions make it a law that if you get an illegal abortion you'll get aborted
see how quickly it goes away that's justice
this is why you know when are you from time to time you hear about these
abortion clinics getting blown up let me just say this let me just be clear
because I don't need a 2016 I'm happy with you guys getting all the protests I
don't need it anymore let me be clear I'm not saying that people should do
this I'm not condoning it I'm not encouraging it and if you want to do it
I would talk try to talk you out of it I'm not saying it's good okay all I'm
saying all I'm saying I'm not saying it's good I'm not telling people to do
it I'm just saying from time to time when you hear about an abortion clinic
being blown up it doesn't make me sad if somebody asked me pastor miss what do
you think about an abortion clinic being blown up I would say well you know
that's like asking me what do you think about a place that murders babies
getting blown up I think it's great I think the babies in the womb are a
little safer tonight I'm not upset about I'm not gonna shut up deer over I don't
I don't think it's a big deal why because abortion is murder now with that
said let me say this there are some people that would have been better off
afforded is there I don't think you should say that okay well how about
Jesus said it had been good for that man if he had not been born talking about
Judas I will says look there's some people would have been better they
wouldn't have got if they would just would have died in the womb they would
have never been born if you don't like that Jesus said that he said that about
Judas but I can think of a few people applies to I mean I can think of some
has a version already brought it up so you know how about here's what here's
here's here's here's one Seth book out I mean Seth book outs mom is probably
looking at him today and thinking to herself I should have aborted you when I
had the chance and look don't don't get that upset about it because you know
what he is gonna get aborted God's gonna board him Seth book out better look out
gonna end up like Todd Ferguson and that is not a threat it's a prayer request
it's a prayer request not a threat all right but there are some people you
know Seth book out Ryan Gallagher Robert Tuttle I mean there's some people that
you know I'm against abortions but I you know it might have been better if they
were they were gone go to me to the book of Romans if you would in the New
Testament Matthew Mark Luke John Acts Romans Romans chapter 14
we shift gears a little bit I don't know if you've been paying attention but I'm
against abortions did you get that it's trying to be clear I don't believe that
the argument my body my choice is a valid argument to allow abortion however
I'd like to just point out to you the hypocrisy of the government in which we
live in or in which we live under because the same government the same
Joe Biden the same Kamala Harris the same you know Nancy Pelosi the same
government that says my body my choice is a proper argument to take utensils
and go into the womb of a mother and end a life that's a proper argument they're
the same people that are now trying to mandate that we all get vaccinated and
here's all I say to that is what happened to my body my choice I mean you
guys have been telling us for years my body my choice my body my choice and I'm
like no that's not no that's murder and then now they're trying to mandate these
vaccines and we're like my body my choice I don't want to get vaccinated
it's my body should it be my choice and here's what they say tell me if this is
not just the height of hypocrisy they'll say well no my body my choice is not a
valid argument for you to not get a vaccine because if you don't get a
vaccine you could hurt people and and abortions don't hurt people you could
kill someone and abortions don't kill someone we live in a hypocritical culture
in society when people say my body my choice testifies killing an unborn child
and then you say hey please don't vaccinate me with your weird Frankenstein
DNA crap what happened in my body my choice and they're like no no you could
hurt somebody somebody could die somebody is dying in fact like 5,000 of
them every day let me just let me we're gonna shift gears here a little bit on
this on this vaccine thing but let me just give a disclaimer I'm against the
vaccine did you notice that I'm against the mandating the vaccines and I'll be
just for sake of clarity I'm against the vaccine I'm not taking one my wife's not
taking one my children aren't taking one we're against them with that let me just
say this I'm not gonna stand up here and declare that you know you shouldn't take
a vaccine and that you're sinning if you take a vaccine now let me just say this
I'm a guest speaker so and many of you are from from this church and other
churches and you know let me just say if you go to church and the pastor says
something different than what I'm saying right now your your pastor he's right
I'm wrong that's what a good church member does all right let me just say
that I'm not I'm not standing up here saying pastor he met isn't standing up
here and is telling you like you should be better not take the vaccine now I'm
against them I'm about to give you some reasons why I'm against them but I'm not
gonna stand up here and tell you that you know you shouldn't take them because
here's what I believe I believe it's your choice I believe it's your body
your choice and here's and here's the thing there's not a clear command in
Scripture that says thou shalt not take a vaccine so I'm not gonna stand up here
and tell you you know obviously there are principles we find in the Bible that
kind of that we can take from that and see why you may not want to take a
vaccine why you should want to take a stand against vaccines but but here's
the real reason why I'm not gonna stand up here and tell you you know you're not
right with God if you don't take a vaccine and this might totally be in my
flesh and if it is I apologize I'm just a man and you know but here's the real
reason why I'm not gonna do that is because I'm in no risk of getting
vaccinated I'm the pastor of a church our church not only hires me full-time
our church has three other full-time employees aside from myself plus a
part-time employee plus a full-time evangelist our our church has all these
employees I'm in charge now obviously God is in charge God is my boss I get
that but God's not I'm not turning in I'm not clocking in you know and God's
getting that obviously in a practical sense I'm my own boss and I'm really I'm
at no risk that I don't have anybody telling me like you need to take the
vaccine or we're gonna fire you I'm at no risk with that I will say this I'm
constantly threatening our staff with that you're late one more time buddy I'll
make you take the worm they take that vaccine and don't ask me for a real
don't ask me for a religious exemption letter you know straighten up your act
around here you know I do I do threaten them actively with I'm kidding of course
but but here's the point I'm not gonna grandstand and stand up here and just
beat my chest I'm not blessed God I'm not taking the vaccine when I'm not I'm
at no risk it's like when the church remember when the churches got locked
down in 2020 and then pastor Boyle in Florida and Michael Johnson and these
guys you know they live in a state where the where the governor says hey we
don't you don't need to shut down then they go on YouTube and they're like
bless God we're never shutting down like those cowards nobody asked you to shut
down you're you're at no risk you don't have any you're not risking anything you
know what that's called it's called grandstanding it's called you know
pounding your chest look how tough I am when you're at no risk and here's the
truth about the vaccines I'm at no risk it'd be easy for me to just get up and
say bless God I'll never take the vaccine you ought to be tough like I am
look you have you're the one that has to make those those decisions and you're
the ones gonna live with those consequences whatever decision you make
if you choose to not take the vaccine and you get fired you gotta live with
those consequences and if you choose to take the vaccine and it kills you you
gotta live with those consequences you it's it's your choice and I'm not gonna
grandstand here and tell you that you know you should be like me because I'm
not gonna take the vaccine hey I by the grace of God I get to pastor
Verity Baptist Church and I get to live in this bubble and I'm not at risk for
that now I will tell you why I'm against them I'll tell you why I won't do it
I'll tell you why I think it's bad but you know I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
just make it sound like this is just this is what the Bible says and you're
not right with God if you do it because here's the thing I do believe that in
certain circumstances there there may be some some reasons why here's the point
if there's a husband and wife that come to this church and they're there three
to thrive their soul winners they love the Lord they're solid in their walk
with God and and the husband's gonna lose his job because he doesn't want to
take the vaccine but he takes us he has a conviction takes a stand against it
and they've counted the cost they've made the choice they've made plans and
they and they decide you know we're not we're gonna lose our job we're not gonna
take the vaccine you know as a pastor I would I'm sure pastor Shelley would
support them and say praise the Lord well we're gonna be praying for you and
I agree with you or whatever but you know if I have some guy coming to my
church we just got saved two weeks ago his wife doesn't like our church she's
not on board he's trying to get her to come and he's coming to me and he's like
pastor I don't want to take this vaccine but my job just said I've got to take it
or I'm gonna get fired and if my wife says if I get fired she's gonna leave me
and she's already thinks I'm crazy because I've been coming to church here
and I can't get her I'm not gonna sit there and tell that guy but you better
not take that vaccine bless God be like me I'm not I'm not in his situation he's
got he's got to live with those consequences I'm not telling you the
here's the point the point of the sermon is not to tell you like take it or don't
take it what I am telling you is that you need to be fully persuaded in your
own mind Matthew 14 and verse 5 notice what the Bible says see there are some
things in the Bible there are some things that are very clear in the Bible
and there are other things that God tells them I'm about to give you an
example God says like hey just you got to make the choice there here's an
example of that Romans 14 5 one man is steamed with one day above another
another steamed with every day of life some people esteem one day above
another another other people just think every day is the same no big deal you
say which one's right well here's what the Bible says let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind you know you should think about it you should decide
what you what the position is you want to take and then God says you make the
choice look at verse 23 same chapter and he that doubted is damned if he eat
here's another situation that he's bringing up he says because he is not a
faith for whatsoever is not a faith is sin here's what I'm telling you you
better be fully persuaded in your own mind and you better have faith as to
whatever decision you're gonna make and look you've got to make that decision
you're gonna live with those consequences I'm not here trying to
convince you one way or another all I'm doing you say what's the point of this
sermon all I'm trying to explain to you is that I think it's hypocritical of
our government to mandate a vaccine upon the bodies of individuals when the
same government says hey your body your choice you want to kill that baby go for
it and then we say hey I don't want to take the vaccine it's my body and they're
like no we own you we're gonna make you do it let me just talk to you just for a
second about these vaccines go to Leviticus if you would Leviticus 13 you
kept your place in Exodus right after Exodus you have the book of Leviticus
Leviticus 13 right now there are three kovat 19 vaccine vaccines out there that
are approved as an experiment by the FDA the first the first ones Pfizer another
one is Moderna and then the third one is Johnson and Johnson here's all I'm
saying is I do think my body my choice is a valid argument to not take the
vaccine I think the government should say hey you know what it's your I thought
we lived in the United States of America I thought I thought we lived you know
supposedly in the land of freedom and liberty I think the government should
say my my body my choice is a valid reason if they don't want to take the
mandate if they don't want to take the vaccine they don't have to take it you
know and we shouldn't force them and and and and you say well why is my body my
choice a valid reason to not take the vaccine again you make the decision I'm
not trying to persuade you either way but I am telling you this my body my
choice is a valid reason for them to not mandate it you say why here's why because
the kovat 19 vaccines are unclean the biggest 1346 knows what the Bible says
all the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled he is
unclean he shall dwell alone without the camp shall his habitation be now we can
look at a lot of verses I'm just gonna show you that one just as an example but
you know the Bible says that when somebody has a plague or a sickness or
disease you should stay away from it he shall dwell alone without the camp shall
his habitation be God does not want us coming in contact if you know that
somebody has a plague a disease or whatever look all on your own
unconsciously without knowing it you're gonna come in contact with people that
are sick and all that but if you know someone is sick God says don't you know
put them away if they have a play they need to dwell alone and and even gives
instructions to figure out if they're actually sick if they're not sick but
the point is this God doesn't want us just being around people if you know
they have a plague you know they have a disease you know they have sickness for
that reason these vaccines are unclean because these vaccines the Johnson &
Johnson for example contains a living cold virus packed with foreign DNA the
cold virus infects the patient's cells and then places the DNA inside the
nucleus of the patient's human cells to get them to start manufacturing the MR
na for the SARS covid spike protein organ now look if God doesn't want you
if God does not want you to be near someone that's sick if you know they
have a plague he doesn't want you to be you think he wants you to take in that
sickness that disease and injecting it into your body and the Johnson & Johnson
has a living cold virus that they packed with foreign DNA look for that I'm just
saying if they're gonna take my body my choice as an argument for abortions then
my body my choice is an argument for I don't want you to inject me with some
you know disease with some cold virus packed with foreign DNA and put that God
wants me to stay away from people that are safe that's what the Bible says you
said Oh Pastor Jimenez yeah that's the Johnson & Johnson but but what about the
other ones that the Frankenstein ones you want to talk about those the Pfizer
and the Moderna vaccines contain mmm RNA that causes you to create coronavirus
body parts go to Psalm 139 real quickly you say well I create coronavirus body
parts what are you talking about the Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine
use synthetic mRNA that contains information about the corona viruses
signature spike protein please please try to understand this the Pfizer and
the Moderna use synthetic mRNA that contains information about the corona
viruses signature spike protein the vaccines essentially work by inserting
instructions into your cells that direct the body to produce a small
amount of the corona viruses spike protein mRNA goes into your body goes
into your cell and starts and inserts the instructions into your cells that
directs your body to start creating the corona viruses spike protein now if you
if God wants you to stay away from sickness he definitely doesn't want you
to take the sickness and inject it into yourself but if he wants you to stay
away from sickness he definitely doesn't want you to mutate your cells to begin
to produce that same sickness that's what it's doing it's producing a piece
of the corona virus inside of you so that so that your body will identify
your immune system will identify begin to attack it it'll identify it as
corona virus that you created it will attack it you'll create an immunity to
it so that when and if you come in contact with the real thing it will be
ready your body will be ready to fight off the coronavirus well you know what
I'd rather just come in contact with the real thing in fact studies after
studies after studies have proven that people that actually have corona virus
and survive it that their immunity is better than the vaccine but they tell
you they tell you oh you got corona virus yeah well you still gotta take the
vaccine that makes no sense why do I take the vaccine because we want your
body to identify the corona virus in your body and your immune system will
attack it to develop an immunity wait a minute I got corona virus my immune
system already identified it and created immunity for it and you want me to take
I've already done that you know I got coronavirus when I think most of the new
IFP got coronavirus at the infamous coronavirus conference in Sacramento you
know and honestly the main reason I'm here at the at the fire breathing
conference I'm here for my booster shot that's why I'm standing real close to
you guys hey I'd rather have the God-given immunity you know the Bible
says I will praise thee for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made marvelous
or life works and that my soul knows right well you know what the Bible says
it says so God created man in his own image and the image of God created him
male and female created in them look let me tell you something the science of
this world cannot do better than God God created me with an immune system God
created you with an immune system God has given you everything you need and
see we have we live in a world that wants to reject God and say even even
God's creation is not good enough we got a Frankenstein it and tweak it and put
all these mRNA synthetic DNA it's gonna change your cells cause you to create
some weird thing in your body hey nuts to that God created us in his image God
did it better God's way is always better
say why should my body my choice be a valid argument to not take the vaccine
here's why it should be a valid argument because the kovat 19 vaccines are
unclean but here's another reason why it should be a valid argument is because
the coronavirus vaccines are unethical let me just read this for you real
quickly each of the three kovat 19 vaccines were developed using the cells
of aborted children like we started in the sermon hey I'm against abortions the
Johnson & Johnson vaccine had its confirmatory lab test on the cells taken
from the eyes of a baby murdered by abortion in 1985 while Pfizer and
Moderna Moderna's confirmatory lab tests were done on the kidney cells of a baby
murdered by abortion in 1973 I'm not interested in a product that is using
the corpse of a dead baby in order to keep us safe I pastor Thompson and I did
a video on vaccines which got taken down and but he had a great quote in the
video where he said you know when you're using these vaccines you're
using murdered children to develop these vaccines it's no wonder these vaccines
lead to a bunch of dead and and injured children can any man bring a clean thing
out of an unclean no not one and here's all I'm saying look whether you want I'm
not saying you want to take it you don't want to take it that's your choice let
every man be fully persuaded to lose mine here's all I'm saying is we
shouldn't be forced to take it and if my body my choice is a valid argument to
kill a child then it should at least be a valid argument to not take the vaccine
but it's hypocrisy at its worse when these when these liberals can sit there
and rally and say my body my choice I can kill a child and then we say well
okay well if you're gonna use that one how about my body my choice on the
vaccine thing and I oh no you could injure somebody well your abortions are
injuring people are killing people go to Matthew chapter 9 if you would just real
quickly Matthew chapter 9 I had a church member that said to me I I think we
just tell people that we're trans vaccinated I'm trans vaccinated I'm not
vaccinated by identify as someone that's been vaccinated I mean shouldn't that be
accepted by the way some of you you could use this one tell people you're
trans fat I'm fat but I identify as someone that's skinny hey I use it all
the time I'm a short person I identify someone as that's tall my preferred
pronouns are tall dark and handsome hey what I'm saying is if these idiots can
use these arguments and we laugh because it's ridiculous they take it serious a
man chops off his stones and says I identify as a squirrel and the world's
like a neutered squirrel and we say abortions are killing people they're
killing babies and they're like you're in a cold you're a Neanderthal we're
like vaccines are not healthy for you and like you're a flat-earther we live
in a society that is crazy my friend let me just give you some thoughts just
as I conclude first of all let's talk about the problem here's here's the
problem if I'm not sick I don't need medical treatment Matthew chapter 9 in
verse 12 the Bible says this but when Jesus heard that he said unto them they
that are whole need not a physician but they that are sick look if I'm not sick
I don't need medical treatment and if I am sick in the land of the free I
should be allowed to choose my own medical treatment but let's just real
quickly talk about that's the problem if I'm not sick I don't need medical
treatment but let's just quickly talk about the agenda go to Revelation 13
Revelation 13 last book in the New Testament the Bible Revelation 13 let me
just be clear about something we're gonna look at Revelation 13 which deals
with the mark of the beast let me just be very clear I do not believe the
vaccine is the mark of the beast it is not the mark of the beast I know some of
you are really into you know it's like the mask the mark it's not the same
thing I do not believe the code vaccine is the mark of the beast but I do
believe that these mandates on vaccines these vaccine passports these laws that
are coming out and people saying well you can't work here if you're not
vaccine I do believe that that is conditioning us and preparing us to
accept a culture that will bring forth the mark of the beast
revelation 13 verse 16 and he causes all both small and great rich and poor free
and bond to receive a mark on a vaccine a mark in their right hand or in their
foreheads and that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the
name of the beast or the number of his name they are pushing I mean isn't it
amazing how hard they are pushing the vaccines I mean they're telling people
you're gonna you're gonna lose your job you don't get vaccinated you're not
gonna be allowed to buy or sell they're not gonna allow you in the store if
you're not vaccinated we're not gonna allow you to travel if you're not
vaccinated I mean it's it's amazing there's a little Wendy's over by where
our church building is and if you've ever been to our church building you
know that we're in the ghetto I mean we're just in the ghetto there's just no
other way there's no other way to say it and there's a little Wendy's just down
the street from us and every once in a while you know I'll go through the
drive-through I saw on the on the drive-through there's a sticker that
says free frosty with your COVID vaccine shot you get your COVID vaccine
shot you shows you got it free frosty I think myself like first I think myself
why is there such a strong agenda to get people vaccinated that's the first
question I ask myself the second question I ask myself is how ghetto do
you have to be I mean a free frosty who seriously drives into that I said well I
wasn't gonna get the vaccine but now you offered me a frosty I mean it's like
good night but you know it just shows the strength of the agenda that they're
trying to put you can't work here here's a frosty let's vaccinate you it's
conditioning us just obey
not only is there the problem I'm not sick I don't need medical treatment not
only is there the agenda and again the vote of COVID vaccines not the mark the
beast but it is conditioning us for the mark the beast there's also the
motivation I'll just read this for you you don't have to turn there in fact you
go to 1st Corinthians you would if you would 1st Corinthians chapter 6 while
you turn there I'll read to you from 1st Timothy 6 10 the Bible says for the love
of money is the root of all evil which while some coveted after they have
heard from the faith and pierce themselves to do with many sorrows you
know there's the motivation what's the motivation the love of money is the
reason they're pushing it so hard now the devil's pushing it to condition
people for the mark of the beast but why is the world wise Wendy's pushing it
stinking Wendy with her agenda it's the love of money that's why they're put
look it's interesting the Bible says for the love of money is the root of all
evil and you would look at that and say really all evil just follow the money
it's the root of all evil that's the motivation let me just say this as I
finish 1st Corinthians chapter 6 if you would
just for sake of clarity let me let me say this I've kind of been misleading
you a little bit in the sermon not on purpose it's just that I've been using
the phrase that the world uses my body my choice and I've been saying that
that's not a valid argument for the abortions rights and that's the reason
I'm using the phrase is to show you it's not valid you say why because it's
murder and then we transition to saying but if they accept if they accept my
body my choice as a valid argument for abortions then it's hypocritical that
they don't accept my body my choice as an argument for not forcing us or not
adhering to the mandates of the vaccine it's hypocritical but let me just say
this my body my choice is actually wrong on both ends my body my choice is not
something that should be used for abortions and it honestly is not even
something that should be used for the mandates you say why well here's why it
is God that created you I am fearfully and wonderfully made the
Lord owns the earth and the fullness thereof he owns the earth and everything
on it everyone in it it's all his and if you're saved you're doubly his you've
been purchased you've been bought with the price we've been bought with the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ see here's the real argument first
Corinthians 6 19 what know you not that your body is a temple the Holy Ghost
which is in you what you have of God and you are not your own for you are bought
with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are
God here's the truth it's not that I should be standing up and telling Joe
Biden and the government and Gavin Newsom and everyone else that wants to
vaccinate us saying hey you can't vaccinate me because it's my body by
choice no no that's wrong here's the truth you can't vaccinate me not because
it's my body it's his body it's his body it's his choice and if you don't like
it take it up with him good luck with that why should they not murder children
because it's not my body my choice God created them they belong to God the
Bible says the kingdom of heaven is full with these children that have been
murdered it's not my body my choice it's not your body your choice really God's
body God's choice we should adhere to what God says those Bible believe in
Christians look I don't know what's gonna happen I don't know how this
thing's gonna end but I can tell you this we should always look at the Bible
and ask ourselves well what does the Bible say what does God expect from us
what would God want and at the end of the day we should always submit to this
my body is owned by God it was purchased by God know you not at your body is
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you and ye are not your own ye are bought
with a price it's not my body it's his body not my choice his choice by the
way that doesn't just work for vaccines that works for whether you show up for
soloing that that works for whether you show up to Sunday night church that
that works for whether you take a job that causes you to skip out on Sunday
morning church that actually works for every if you just lived your life this
way every time you had to make a choice you said it's not really my body my
choice it's his body his choice I wonder where he would want you on a
Wednesday night I want you I wonder what he would want you to do on Monday
morning does he want you to go on Facebook or open up a King James Bible
and read it does he want you to to listen to talk radio or does he want you
to get on your knees right before you go to work and pray and commune with him
and talk with him it's not it's not if you're saved it's not your body it's
not your choice it's his body his choice just bow our heads and have a
word of prayer Heavenly Father Lord we thank you for your word thank you for
these dear people we know they love you and they care for you we love you Lord I
pray you'd help us to live our lives mindful of the fact that it is not my
body and it is not my choice
we are bought with a price help us to live our lives conscious of that truth
thank you for this great church thank you for pastor Shelley and his family
the great work and all the staff and the volunteers all the workers that and make
and help this ministry do what it does what I pray that you would bless this
place I pray that you would protect them against their enemies but I pray that
you would allow them to win this lawsuit I pray that you would allow the the
thieves that have stolen from them to be prosecuted and imprisoned I pray Lord
that you would bless them and help them to continue to be a shining light in
this area the matchless name of Christ we pray amen
