This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk 37:46.520 --> 37:52.800 not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darken, 37:52.800 --> 37:58.260 being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the 37:58.260 --> 37:59.660 blindness of their hearts. 38:00.400 --> 38:07.240 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licitiveness, to work all uncleanness, 38:07.240 --> 38:09.280 which greetingness. 38:09.280 --> 38:11.520 But ye have not so learned Christ. 38:12.000 --> 38:18.920 If so, be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is Jesus, 38:18.920 --> 38:24.820 that ye put off concerning the former conversations the old man, which is corrupt according to 38:24.820 --> 38:28.760 the deceitful lust, and being renowned in the spirit of your mind. 38:29.100 --> 38:35.820 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness, in true holiness. 38:35.820 --> 38:42.220 Wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members of 38:42.220 --> 38:49.340 one another. Be ye angry and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to 38:49.340 --> 38:55.260 the devil. Let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labor working with his hands the 38:55.260 --> 38:57.100 things which is. 38:57.100 --> 39:03.900 good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communications 39:03.900 --> 39:08.900 proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it 39:08.900 --> 39:11.800 may minister grace unto the hearer. 39:12.200 --> 39:17.400 Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption 39:18.040 --> 39:26.020 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you with no all malice 39:26.520 --> 39:34.320 And be kind one to another tender hearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you 39:35.560 --> 39:37.560 Aaron would you pray for the preaching? 40:02.500 --> 40:06.180 Amen. All right, so we're here in Ephesians chapter number four and 40:06.880 --> 40:12.040 if you want to look down at verse number 11 where it says and he gave some apostles and some prophets and some 40:12.220 --> 40:20.520 evangelists and some pastors and some teachers for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the ministries for the edifying of the 40:20.520 --> 40:22.860 body of Christ and the 40:23.560 --> 40:26.400 The title of my of my sermon this morning is 40:27.840 --> 40:29.600 Unbiblical 40:30.200 --> 40:37.000 Brother Paul, what did I tell you this morning? Unbiblical resources. That's what it was. Yes, 40:37.000 --> 40:41.720 yes. As you can tell, I spend a lot of time thinking and contemplating the titles of my sermons. 40:42.920 --> 40:47.800 So the title of my sermon is Unbiblical Resources. And basically what I wanted to preach about is 40:47.800 --> 40:49.400 there's a couple different... 40:49.600 --> 40:55.360 resources that people use to get information about the Bible, to learn about the Bible, 40:55.360 --> 40:57.360 that I believe are absolutely unbiblical. 40:57.360 --> 41:02.360 And those two resources are basically Bible colleges and study Bibles. 41:02.360 --> 41:06.640 I believe that those two things are unbiblical resources that we should not be using, and 41:06.640 --> 41:10.900 I want to demonstrate this morning why we shouldn't be using those. 41:10.900 --> 41:15.880 And kind of what inspired me to write the sermon, to do the sermon, is basically I had 41:15.880 --> 41:16.880 I've seen a... 41:17.400 --> 41:22.120 This was like a couple months ago. I had seen a part of an interview that Tucker Carlson had done 41:22.760 --> 41:28.440 with somebody. And this, I can't remember the individual's name, but he was some sort of a 41:28.440 --> 41:34.760 Protestant pastor, Protestant teacher, right? And he was talking to Tucker Carlson about how, 41:35.560 --> 41:43.080 you know, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, basically, you know, all of these Baptist preachers. 41:43.700 --> 41:51.780 you know, all they had was like, you know, all they had was basically a study Bible to learn from, 41:51.780 --> 41:53.380 and that's what caused... 41:53.900 --> 41:58.700 you know all this false doctrine of like zionism and whatnot to spread in all these evangelical 41:58.700 --> 42:03.020 churches you know and he was talking about well you know there's the low church and the high 42:03.020 --> 42:08.540 church you know that's you know that's that's catholic speak by the way if you if if you're 42:08.540 --> 42:12.780 somebody talking about low church and a high church they're basically either catholic or catholic 42:12.780 --> 42:13.400 light 42:13.500 --> 42:17.700 Like oh the High Church that's where you go in and and and the priest you know 42:17.700 --> 42:18.980 There's a there's for one 42:18.980 --> 42:24.820 There's a priest you know which week you know the Bible teaches the priests or the believer right the priest is wearing your mother's dress 42:24.820 --> 42:28.220 For some reason and you know and you use your 42:30.840 --> 42:32.940 Their statues and whatnot you see that's High Church 42:33.540 --> 42:37.960 High Church has the stained glass windows right they got statues of Mary 42:38.080 --> 42:41.500 They got little naked babies with wings flying around and everything 42:41.500 --> 42:46.500 you know, and what's the sign? 42:47.000 --> 42:50.680 I don't know. There's always like the sign that they have. 42:50.680 --> 42:52.680 Maybe it's just like this. 42:52.680 --> 42:55.640 And then you find like paintings of Satan doing the same sign. 42:55.640 --> 42:58.600 It's weird. But that's high church, you see. 42:58.600 --> 43:02.920 And low church is where you just get some fundamental Baptist 43:02.920 --> 43:06.920 in the basement of some building somewhere to actually preach the Bible. 43:06.920 --> 43:10.040 That's low church according to these people. 43:10.800 --> 43:17.080 But, so this guy's solution was that, well, what they really needed is they needed to 43:17.080 --> 43:23.400 go do like an actual real seminary, you know, from like an actual real denomination, you 43:23.400 --> 43:29.400 know, like a Lutheran, you know, or maybe a Methodist, or maybe, or whatever the high 43:29.400 --> 43:32.720 church denomination that, you know, you want to think of. 43:32.720 --> 43:37.320 And so that just ticks me off, because it's like, you know. 43:39.300 --> 43:46.940 You're saying that the reference Bible caused this problem and your solution is basically something that I would say is even worse 43:47.060 --> 43:52.260 Which would be Bible college and there's absolutely nothing biblical about either one of those things, right? 43:52.260 --> 43:56.620 So this this interview that I watched a couple months ago kind of inspired me to preach the sermon 43:57.200 --> 44:02.200 And basically there's these two unbiblical resources. 44:02.200 --> 44:09.200 And basically I want to preach to you that there's two actual biblical resources that we need to go to for information about the Bible. 44:09.200 --> 44:13.200 And obviously we preach about these things all the time. 44:13.200 --> 44:17.200 The first one would be your actual local Baptist church. 44:17.200 --> 44:19.200 That's where you can get information about the Bible. 44:19.200 --> 44:21.200 And then just the Bible itself. 44:21.200 --> 44:24.200 So those are the two antidotes to those things. 44:25.600 --> 44:30.080 I don't want to bury the lead here. Let's see here. So let's go back to Ephesians chapter number four. 44:30.080 --> 44:35.840 So we read that he gave some apostles and some prophets, some teachers and some pastors 44:37.120 --> 44:41.120 and evangelists, right, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministries, 44:41.120 --> 44:42.880 for the edifying of the body of Christ. 44:44.000 --> 44:46.560 And let's continue there in verse number 13. It says, 44:54.100 --> 44:58.420 of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we henceforth be no more children 44:58.420 --> 45:03.420 tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of 45:03.420 --> 45:07.940 men and the cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive. But speaking 45:07.940 --> 45:15.620 the truth and love may grow up into him in all things which is the head of even Christ. 45:16.400 --> 45:21.920 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplyth 45:21.920 --> 45:28.640 according to the effectual working in the measure of every part maketh increase of the body under 45:28.640 --> 45:35.760 the edifying of its self in love." So what are we talking about here? Where is all this learning 45:35.760 --> 45:42.640 and edification and growing? Where is all this happening? It's happening, right? 45:43.600 --> 45:45.600 the where the body of Christ is 45:46.100 --> 45:52.300 Now, you know where where's the body of Christ and where the where the Apostles where the prophets? 45:52.300 --> 45:55.360 Where the evangelists were the pastors and teachers? Where are they all? 45:56.140 --> 46:00.200 Showing up where where we all learning from these people at church 46:00.900 --> 46:03.800 right and church is the 46:04.540 --> 46:09.060 Institution that God has ordained in the New Testament and so church 46:09.700 --> 46:15.140 is where we go for edifying. Church is where we go for the perfecting of the saints. 46:15.860 --> 46:23.060 Church is where we go, right, so that we may grow and whatnot. The Bible didn't say anywhere 46:23.060 --> 46:29.220 here that to go to university that this is going to happen at the college, this is going to happen 46:29.220 --> 46:30.340 at the seminary. 46:31.000 --> 46:38.760 Absolutely not. All these things are going to take place at the local New Testament church. 46:38.760 --> 46:44.840 And of course we know that the church, basically what church is, is just it's an assembly, right? 46:44.840 --> 46:51.400 If you look at the Old Testament, you know, it uses the word, you know, assembly and congregation. 46:51.700 --> 46:56.820 throughout the Old Testament. And then we go into the New Testament. When it quotes the Old Testament, 46:56.980 --> 47:01.660 it'll often substitute either assembly or congregation. It'll use the word church. 47:02.020 --> 47:06.660 Right, so we know the word church, if you boil it down, it just means assembly or 47:08.020 --> 47:12.260 congregation. So basically as we as believers, when we congregate together, 47:13.580 --> 47:15.400 basically in the name of Christ, 47:15.500 --> 47:18.500 That's what we're going to be calling church, right? 47:18.500 --> 47:24.500 And this is what Jesus has ordained in the New Testament, is that there will be many 47:24.500 --> 47:29.260 different churches, many different places around planet Earth where people are going 47:29.260 --> 47:36.700 to congregate together, right, and basically edify each other, learn the Bible, and, you 47:36.700 --> 47:41.140 know, be perfected, right, in the Bible, in Christ. 47:41.700 --> 47:44.980 So that's what God was ordained. He did not ordain. 47:45.860 --> 47:48.980 You know, there was, you know, in these lists of different titles, 47:50.100 --> 47:56.340 college professor wasn't one of them. Right? And so, you know, we're going to get into this later. 47:56.980 --> 47:59.900 But why would we look to the world? 48:00.100 --> 48:04.900 for our model of how we learn stuff. We shouldn't be doing that. We shouldn't be following the world. 48:04.900 --> 48:10.020 We should be following what the Bible actually says. It says in Acts 20 verse number 20 it says, 48:10.020 --> 48:16.420 Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock of God over the which the Holy Ghost 48:16.420 --> 48:23.780 hath made you overseers to feed the church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. 48:23.780 --> 48:25.400 So according to the Bible here... 48:26.300 --> 48:31.820 Basically, it's the pastor's job to feed the Church of God, right? 48:31.980 --> 48:35.500 Now here's the thing is there anything that's in the Bible any 48:35.660 --> 48:40.360 Doctrines or things that you can learn from the Bible that are in the Bible that the pastor of a church 48:40.580 --> 48:42.580 Should not be teaching to his flock 48:44.140 --> 48:48.220 Is there any truth from the Bible that he should withhold from the flock 48:49.900 --> 48:53.620 Absolutely not right so so what is it? 48:54.100 --> 49:02.820 that I'm supposed to go and learn at the seminary, at the Bible college, that the pastor of a church 49:02.820 --> 49:07.620 should, is not going to teach me. Is there something else that I can learn from seminary 49:07.620 --> 49:13.860 that the pastor can't teach us? Absolutely not. So what, I mean, if the pastor is actually doing 49:13.860 --> 49:18.900 his job and actually teaching the Bible, what is even the point of seminary? 49:20.300 --> 49:26.940 What's the point of that? Right? Because the Bible says here that, you know, basically, 49:26.940 --> 49:30.220 the who of whom the Holy Ghost has appointed... 49:31.000 --> 49:34.200 which would be the pastor, he's supposed to feed the Church of God. 49:34.200 --> 49:37.960 And if he's not doing that, if he's holding back certain things from the Bible, 49:37.960 --> 49:42.600 basically he's not doing his job. He is failing in his job. He's derelict of duty 49:42.600 --> 49:47.560 and falling short of what he should be doing. Because if there's some institution where it's 49:47.560 --> 49:52.440 like, well, we teach kind of a little bit of the basics here. Here at church, we just kind of uplift 49:52.440 --> 49:53.960 you and make you feel good. 49:54.300 --> 49:59.820 But if you actually want to understand and learn the Bible, learn doctrine, you have to go to this 49:59.820 --> 50:04.620 other institution that's outside the local Baptist church. You have to go learn that from them. 50:05.900 --> 50:10.540 That's wrong. We should be learning at church. We should be able to learn everything 50:11.500 --> 50:17.500 about the Bible. Okay? So go ahead and turn to 2 Kings chapter number 22. 50:17.500 --> 50:18.700 2nd Kingship, number 22. 50:18.700 --> 50:19.900 Now if I could get a... 50:20.400 --> 50:25.740 a glass of water, that would be fantastic. 50:25.740 --> 50:28.920 So the pastor is supposed to feed the church of God. 50:28.920 --> 50:30.420 And according to the Bible, 50:30.420 --> 50:32.420 the pastor is supposed to preach the Word 50:32.420 --> 50:35.400 instant, in season, out of season. 50:35.400 --> 50:38.680 And so he's supposed to preach the whole Bible. 50:38.680 --> 50:39.680 Well there's nothing that... 50:40.300 --> 50:45.860 should be learned in the Bible college that can't be learned in church. Amen. 50:45.860 --> 50:50.620 And again, you know, this is one of the places that God has ordained for 50:50.620 --> 50:53.000 people to learn the Bible. Thank you. 50:59.000 --> 51:05.800 And so, you know, if we're going to have an organization, if we're going to do something, 51:05.800 --> 51:11.720 right, as a part of Christianity, we should have somewhere in the Bible to substantiate 51:11.720 --> 51:15.800 what we're doing. You see, we're not a bunch of Catholics here. We don't just make up whatever 51:15.800 --> 51:21.400 we want to do and then go mine scripture for reasons as to why what we're already doing is 51:21.400 --> 51:25.560 okay, right? We actually, we decide what we do based on what the Bible actually said. 51:26.300 --> 51:31.900 And so if having a Bible college, if having a seminary, were something that were biblical, 51:31.900 --> 51:37.340 we should be able to go to scripture and find where something like that is occurring, amen? 51:37.340 --> 51:40.060 We should be able to find a model of that somewhere in scripture. 51:41.660 --> 51:45.260 But you know, if you go ahead and you look up the word college, 51:45.260 --> 51:47.900 you know, because we're all about Bible colleges, right? If you look up the word 51:47.900 --> 51:50.860 college in the Bible, it's used twice. 51:51.400 --> 51:57.200 Okay, now I'm only going to give you one reference because basically you have one reference in 51:57.200 --> 52:03.640 2 Kings 22, you have another reference in 2 Chronicles, and it's basically the same 52:03.640 --> 52:04.640 thing. 52:04.640 --> 52:09.160 If you compare those two verses, there's like a little bit of word difference, but it's 52:09.160 --> 52:11.320 the same event, it's the same thing, right? 52:11.320 --> 52:18.400 So we're going to look at this one in 2 Kings 22, it says, so Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahalakim, 52:18.800 --> 52:29.000 and Akhor and Shefan and Ahaziah went unto Haldah the prophetess, the wife of Shalom, 52:29.000 --> 52:37.260 the son of Tikvah, the son of Hardas, keeper of the wardrobe, and she dwelt in Jerusalem 52:37.260 --> 52:39.520 in the college and they communed with her. 52:40.400 --> 52:46.400 Right? So you got this group of guys with hard to pronounce names, hard to read names, 52:46.400 --> 52:51.400 which I will not pronounce again because that was very difficult. 52:51.400 --> 53:03.300 So you got this group of guys with weird sounding names and they're showing up to Jerusalem to see the prophetess, Hilda, or Holda, the prophetess, and she's dwelling in the college. 53:03.900 --> 53:08.620 And basically the other reference is exactly the same people. It's the same thing. It's the same people 53:09.420 --> 53:13.660 going to see the same people at the same college, right? So 53:15.000 --> 53:24.000 You know, you've got basically Hilda the prophetess, you know, whose husband is running like a laundry mat or something. 53:24.000 --> 53:30.000 It's, you know, this is not a good place, I don't think, for you to be getting doctrine from. 53:30.000 --> 53:37.000 Where, you know, you have, for one, you know, apparently the people at this time, all the men at this time are not leading 53:37.000 --> 53:39.000 because they have to go to Hilda the prophetess. 53:39.000 --> 53:41.800 It's like, why do we have to have Hilda the prophetess? 53:42.100 --> 53:46.420 I mean, how come her husband doesn't have enough time from folding the laundry apparently 53:46.420 --> 53:49.540 to just let go and study the Bible and become a prophet himself? 53:49.540 --> 53:51.620 I mean, that's pretty embarrassing, right? 53:51.620 --> 53:55.900 You know, I guess the laundromat business is just booming in Jerusalem at this point 53:55.900 --> 53:59.980 because he does not have time to put down the wardrobes and actually study the Bible 53:59.980 --> 54:03.140 for himself, so he has his wife do it, right? 54:03.140 --> 54:03.660 It's embarrassing. 54:04.100 --> 54:10.500 I would say. And so, you know, this isn't really a good place to substantiate your Bible doctrine from. 54:11.300 --> 54:17.380 Right? And if you want to, go ahead and turn to Acts chapter number 19. Acts chapter number 19. 54:18.740 --> 54:25.300 So there's nowhere in the Bible where you're going to find college that's really in a positive light. 54:25.300 --> 54:31.380 Okay? I mean, the Bible is not explicitly saying anything about the college. 54:32.000 --> 54:36.000 It's just saying, by the way, hey, the prophet is dwelling in the college. 54:36.000 --> 54:40.000 And again, like this doesn't seem like a positive thing, right? 54:40.000 --> 54:45.000 So, and this is the only time the word college is used in the Bible. 54:45.000 --> 54:51.000 So, but what about school? What if we send our young preachers to preacher school? 54:51.000 --> 54:54.000 Well, how about if we do that? Well... 54:55.200 --> 54:59.500 You know, let's see what the Bible says about the word school. 54:59.500 --> 55:04.500 And here in Acts chapter number 19, this is the only place that the word school is used. 55:08.400 --> 55:12.400 And the whole school of the prophets thing is not in the Bible? 55:12.400 --> 55:16.400 How many of you ever heard the school of the prophets before? 55:16.400 --> 55:20.400 Only Paul. Okay. Alright. 55:20.400 --> 55:24.400 But, you know, people 55:24.400 --> 55:28.400 in old life B circles, this is something that's talked about a lot. 55:28.400 --> 55:32.400 Is this the school of the prophets? And that's something they'll use to substantiate 55:32.400 --> 55:35.800 Bible college and what not. 55:35.800 --> 55:41.800 But it's not there, it doesn't exist. But here in Acts 19, verse number 9, this is where the only time the word school is mentioned. 55:41.800 --> 55:42.800 It says, 55:58.800 --> 56:03.800 So, the only time the word school is used in the Bible 56:05.300 --> 56:09.760 when they're disputing in the school of this guy Tyrannus and 56:11.000 --> 56:14.740 So it doesn't seem like the school is where people are going to learn the Bible 56:15.540 --> 56:19.480 There actually it seems like they're going to the school to try to evangelize people that don't believe the Bible 56:19.900 --> 56:25.260 Right because otherwise, you know, why are they why are they disputing in this Tyrannus is school, you know 56:25.260 --> 56:27.100 If he's actually teaching the Bible 56:27.300 --> 56:31.460 you know, they'd be going to learn from said tyrannus if this was a, you know, if they're 56:31.460 --> 56:36.260 actually going to learn the Bible. So, so this is, this is a, a negative mention of school. 56:37.540 --> 56:42.500 And I would say that, that pretty much the vast majority of all school is negative, actually. 56:43.220 --> 56:47.300 You know, you shouldn't be, you, you debt-sure shouldn't be sending, you know, your children 56:47.300 --> 56:52.180 to public school because they'll get molested. And, you know, it's funny, I just, I just heard 56:52.180 --> 56:53.800 from a podcast this week. 56:54.200 --> 57:01.960 that actually the most likely place or person that a child is to be molested by is by a teacher. 57:02.920 --> 57:07.480 You know, that's the highest volume of kids getting molested is by school teachers. 57:08.120 --> 57:15.000 And so, you know, I'm always blown away whenever I hear a parent say, you know, 57:15.000 --> 57:19.800 say that their kid is in school. I'm just, I'm blown away. I'm like, how? 57:20.900 --> 57:22.900 You haven't figured it out? 57:22.900 --> 57:30.660 Like, it's like, you know, and I would have told you this, you know, 10 years ago before I was ever married and had kids. 57:30.660 --> 57:36.340 Like, oh yeah, I would never send my kids to school. Like, that's just, that's insane. 57:36.340 --> 57:42.980 But, I mean, in the last 10 years, it's gotten even more insane, just exponentially more insane. I have no clue. 57:43.200 --> 57:48.340 Like, you know, I've had relatives or whatever that, you know, they had young children and they're like, 57:48.340 --> 57:52.940 oh yeah, we might, we're thinking about this school that's just kind of down the street nearby. 57:52.940 --> 57:54.940 And I'm just like, what? 57:54.940 --> 58:01.140 You, are you living, it's still living in like the 1940s or something when school was like, okay, 58:01.140 --> 58:03.140 and it was just kind of the thing, like, what? 58:03.300 --> 58:08.660 You don't know that it's the 21st century and like you can't send your kids to school 58:08.780 --> 58:14.820 You know it blows me away that anybody is still saying I mean even if you're not even if like you weren't even a Christian 58:15.060 --> 58:19.280 Like even if you were like an atheist or whatever like any normal human being 58:20.420 --> 58:24.780 Should be able to look at what's going on in the public school system and just be like 58:25.740 --> 58:29.540 No, I'm not I value my children way too much to send them off 58:30.100 --> 58:35.380 to that bizarre system where they're teaching all the kinds of this bizarre crap to the children. 58:35.380 --> 58:41.460 They're just indoctrinating six ways to Sunday and it's destroying our society. 58:45.140 --> 58:50.740 Again, it's insanity to me, the people. And I even hear other people are, 58:50.740 --> 58:54.580 it seems like a lot of people are kind of coming to their senses. Like even... 58:56.200 --> 58:59.600 Even unsaved, unchurched people are like, 58:59.600 --> 59:03.400 I'm not sending my kid off to college when they grow up. 59:03.400 --> 59:05.800 There's no way you're gonna see me doing that. 59:05.800 --> 59:07.200 And it's like, all right, you know, 59:07.200 --> 59:10.600 for some people it seems like their sentences are coming to them. 59:10.600 --> 59:11.600 But... 59:11.800 --> 59:16.200 you know, I don't know, like sending your kids off to be raised by somebody else 59:16.200 --> 59:21.960 for eight hours a day, to me it's just, it's insane. And you know, the fact that there's, 59:21.960 --> 59:26.520 you know, these just hundreds of daycares everywhere, you know, where people are sending 59:26.520 --> 59:28.040 their little children off. 59:28.600 --> 59:35.600 you know, they're like, they're little six-month-old, little precious baby off to somebody that doesn't care about them, that doesn't love them, 59:35.600 --> 59:41.720 that just sees that child as a source of income because they're paying huge amounts of money to have somebody else raise their kid. 59:42.200 --> 59:45.560 It's, it's, for one, it's extraordinarily sad. 59:46.120 --> 59:47.640 It's, it's very sad. 59:47.640 --> 59:51.480 That, apparently these parents don't care enough about their children. 59:51.480 --> 59:55.000 I mean, I don't know, I mean, what I had kids, it's like... 59:55.800 --> 01:00:02.420 Sending any of my kids off to have somebody else raise them for eight hours a day or six hours a day or however long 01:00:02.420 --> 01:00:06.720 I just I cannot comprehend it. I don't get it 01:00:07.240 --> 01:00:13.520 So anyways, that's that I mean that kind of has a little bit to do with my sermon, but not really I don't know 01:00:15.120 --> 01:00:22.120 You got that one for free that one was for free. All right, so where were we? So I just read acts 01:00:22.900 --> 01:00:24.900 number 19 and 01:00:25.300 --> 01:00:27.460 Axe number 19 has disappeared 01:00:28.140 --> 01:00:31.700 From my notes. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. All right, go ahead and turn to 01:00:33.860 --> 01:00:35.860 Titus type 7 1 so 01:00:36.200 --> 01:00:41.500 So school is unbiblical, college is unbiblical, and the Bible is clear, you know, we preach 01:00:41.500 --> 01:00:45.080 many sermons about this, but you know, the Bible is clear that, you know, thou shall 01:00:45.080 --> 01:00:49.200 teach them, you know, you're going to speak to your kids as you walk by the way, as you 01:00:49.200 --> 01:00:53.080 sit us down, when you lay down to sleep, you know, you're going to talk to the Bible with 01:00:53.080 --> 01:00:54.080 your children. 01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:56.760 So the Bible makes it very clear that you should be teaching your children. 01:00:59.300 --> 01:01:05.300 But, you know, when it's time for the kids to grow up and move out, 01:01:05.300 --> 01:01:09.300 you know, I don't think it's biblical for them to go up to Bible college, 01:01:09.300 --> 01:01:11.300 or really any kind of college. 01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:17.760 I mean maybe if there's like a specific field that your son or whatever wants to get into 01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:22.080 that actually requires him to go to college, you know that might be a different story where 01:01:22.080 --> 01:01:25.760 if there's like technical knowledge that you actually do have to learn at an institution, 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:29.360 like if they want to become an engineer or something like that, you know there may be 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:34.160 a place for that kind of thing in society. You know I'm not like 100% against all forms of 01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:40.000 higher education or whatever, but I'm 100% against Bible college. 01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:49.000 I'm also 125% against girls going to college. That's that's just insane. That's just I don't know that's 01:01:50.640 --> 01:01:52.760 Anyways, all right. Let's let's let's move on 01:01:53.640 --> 01:01:57.280 But in Titus chapter number one in verse number five it says for this cause 01:01:57.560 --> 01:02:05.000 Left I the and Crete that thou should have set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city as 01:02:05.520 --> 01:02:07.520 he hath appointed thee so 01:02:08.700 --> 01:02:13.500 you know according to the Bible here basically Titus he's been ordained to 01:02:14.380 --> 01:02:21.100 ordain elders in every city and an elder is just another word for pastor right and so the Bible 01:02:21.100 --> 01:02:24.540 didn't say you know ordain professors 01:02:24.900 --> 01:02:29.300 every city. He didn't say ordained, you know, administrative people in every city. 01:02:29.300 --> 01:02:33.540 He didn't ordain a college in every city or a school in every city. No, he's 01:02:33.540 --> 01:02:39.260 supposed to ordain a pastor in every city. So where is somebody supposed to 01:02:39.260 --> 01:02:45.420 learn how to become a pastor? By going to the professor or going to the preacher? 01:02:45.420 --> 01:02:51.300 By going to the preacher, right? So, so, Tyus here, he's supposed to replicate himself. 01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:54.840 You know you find oftentimes this occurring in the Bible. 01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:03.400 where things are supposed to self replicate, right? I mean we see in Genesis chapter number one, 01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:07.720 the Bible says, you know, and they brought forth after their own kind, right? And as Christians, 01:03:08.520 --> 01:03:14.680 we're supposed to bring forth after our own kind. Now what does that mean? That means the Bible is 01:03:14.680 --> 01:03:21.480 telling us that we need to go out and turn other people into Christians by preaching them the 01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:22.700 gospel amen 01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:30.360 And then hopefully we can get people to get baptized and to grow as a Christian and to learn 01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:32.760 you know everything that God wants them to learn. 01:03:33.700 --> 01:03:38.820 but we're supposed to self-replicate. But here's the thing, the same thing applies for 01:03:38.820 --> 01:03:43.060 the local New Testament church is that churches are supposed to self-replicate. What does that mean? 01:03:43.700 --> 01:03:51.140 That means that basically a pastor should be trying to start churches in other cities, 01:03:51.140 --> 01:03:54.180 right? And this is why Pastor Thompson, you know, has had like... 01:03:54.700 --> 01:04:00.380 eight different churches that he started in a whole bunch of different places. I mean, several of them have 01:04:00.380 --> 01:04:07.580 have become their own church already. You know, there's the Fortress Baptist Church in Winnipeg, 01:04:07.580 --> 01:04:18.460 and then there's, I believe, Strong Tower over in Afghanistan, I mean, in the UK. So, you know... 01:04:18.700 --> 01:04:23.200 I know that those two have broken off and become their own church. 01:04:23.200 --> 01:04:26.700 And I don't think that... Is there any... Are there any other ones? 01:04:26.700 --> 01:04:31.800 I think that's probably it, yeah. But I mean he still had... He's got a church in 01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.000 Indiana. He's got obviously this church here. 01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:37.000 There's one in Yakima. There's one in... 01:04:37.600 --> 01:04:40.360 Seattle, he used to have one up in 01:04:41.260 --> 01:04:43.260 Surrey BC, but I believe 01:04:43.380 --> 01:04:45.380 Fortress took that one over 01:04:46.060 --> 01:04:50.820 So yeah, there used to be the one in Hawaii until the Gallagator 01:04:52.540 --> 01:04:56.560 Destroyed it and God's destroying him currently so 01:04:58.540 --> 01:05:05.000 Anyway, so I mean that's that's why pastor Thompson has ordained or started so many different churches because churches are supposed to self replicate 01:05:05.700 --> 01:05:10.700 So the church doesn't come from the Bible college, right? 01:05:10.700 --> 01:05:13.700 Because that's kind of the model that most churches are using today. 01:05:13.700 --> 01:05:18.700 You send your young preacher, protege, or whatever, you send him to Bible college. 01:05:18.700 --> 01:05:21.700 He goes to Bible college to learn how to become a preacher. 01:05:21.700 --> 01:05:25.700 And then he goes out from the Bible college to a church somewhere, 01:05:25.700 --> 01:05:28.700 either to start a church or to take over a church or whatever. 01:05:28.700 --> 01:05:32.700 Instead of the church replicating the church, you have the Bible college. 01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:39.800 sending out people to run churches, which is unbiblical because that's not the model we see in Scripture. 01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:43.560 We see that Paul ordained Titus to start these churches. 01:05:43.560 --> 01:05:47.960 He ordained Titus to go and ordain pastors in every city. 01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:51.600 not a Bible college institution, not a seminary. 01:05:51.600 --> 01:05:55.900 Seminaries do not have the authority to start churches or to send out preachers. 01:05:55.900 --> 01:05:58.400 They don't have that authority because it's not given to them. 01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:04.900 God gave that authority to the local pastor, as we can see here in Scripture. 01:06:04.900 --> 01:06:10.400 But go ahead and turn to 2 Samuel chapter number 6. 01:06:18.700 --> 01:06:29.580 2 Samuel chapter number 6, and this is the mentality that most churches have these days 01:06:29.580 --> 01:06:32.760 and most Christian organizations have these days. 01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:33.760 This is where it comes from. 01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:38.420 It says in 2 Samuel chapter number 6 verse number 1 it says, again, David gathered together 01:06:38.420 --> 01:06:39.920 all the chosen men of Israel. 01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:47.500 30,000, and David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baal of 01:06:47.500 --> 01:06:54.500 Judah to bring up from thence the ark of God whose name is called by the name of the Lord, 01:06:54.500 --> 01:06:57.860 the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims. 01:06:57.860 --> 01:07:04.860 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab. 01:07:05.900 --> 01:07:12.700 and it was in Giba, and Uzziah and Ohio, the sons of Abinadab, 01:07:12.700 --> 01:07:18.540 drove the new cart." So what do we see here? Basically, you know, David's kind of 01:07:18.540 --> 01:07:22.220 taken over the kingdom, and he wants to get the ark back from the 01:07:22.220 --> 01:07:26.540 house of Abinadab. And what do they do? Well, they stick it, 01:07:26.540 --> 01:07:29.420 they stick the the ark of God, they stick it on a new 01:07:29.420 --> 01:07:32.700 card right now why did they do this 01:07:33.200 --> 01:07:41.080 Why did they do this? Well, basically the reason why they did that is because that's what the Philistines had done previously. 01:07:41.080 --> 01:07:50.840 When the Philistines defeated the Israelites, they basically they captured the Ark of God and they harbored it for a while. 01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:55.280 But, you know, God cursed them with emirats and what not. 01:07:55.800 --> 01:08:00.500 And so they figured out that having the Ark of God wasn't a good deal for them, so they wanted to get rid of it. 01:08:00.500 --> 01:08:04.900 So the way that they got rid of it is by sticking it on a new cart, 01:08:04.900 --> 01:08:09.000 and then just sent the cart off in the general direction of the Israelites. 01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:11.900 And it ended up at the house of Abinadab. 01:08:11.900 --> 01:08:16.900 And so basically, the Israelites saw that, they're like, oh wow! 01:08:17.100 --> 01:08:20.380 Look at this newfangled technology. 01:08:20.380 --> 01:08:24.220 Look at how the, look at these ingenious Philistines. 01:08:24.220 --> 01:08:25.860 Look at what they did. 01:08:25.860 --> 01:08:29.340 This is a way better system for moving the arc around 01:08:29.340 --> 01:08:30.780 than what we had before. 01:08:30.780 --> 01:08:32.460 I don't know why we didn't think of this. 01:08:32.460 --> 01:08:34.020 This is amazing. 01:08:34.500 --> 01:08:37.860 So we're going to copy them. We're going to do the exact same thing. 01:08:37.860 --> 01:08:42.900 We're going to copy the Philistines. So instead of taking what God told them to do, 01:08:42.900 --> 01:08:46.180 instead of using the way that God directly told them of how to move the ark around, 01:08:47.380 --> 01:08:54.500 they copied the Philistines and they built a new cart and stuck the ark of God on this new cart. 01:08:54.500 --> 01:08:59.220 And if you continue reading in 2nd Samuel chapter number 6, what happens is that the cart... 01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:05.800 wobbles a little bit, a guy named Uzzah tries to stable the ark and God just kills him. 01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:13.800 So God kills Uzzah because he's angry at the children of Israel for ignoring how he's said to move the ark around 01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:18.800 and adopting the world's methods for moving the ark around. 01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:26.800 But this is the exact same mentality that many of these churches have, many of these Christian organizations have. 01:09:27.200 --> 01:09:31.200 is they want to get a new cart, they want to copy the world. 01:09:31.200 --> 01:09:41.200 So the world has come up with this system where we send off all of the young people off to higher learning or whatever. 01:09:41.200 --> 01:09:49.200 This is something that these unbiblical denominations have come up with. 01:09:50.100 --> 01:09:54.940 basically, you know, we put together a Bible college and we send all the 01:09:54.940 --> 01:09:59.640 preachers off to go and learn and for some reason Christians have decided to 01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:06.080 copy that, right? Because, you know, all of these, all of the really old like 01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:10.060 Ivy League schools and everything, all these places of higher learning, they 01:10:10.060 --> 01:10:14.160 used to be seminaries basically, all the Ivy League schools used to be 01:10:14.160 --> 01:10:17.800 seminaries, but here's the thing, who came up with that? 01:10:18.100 --> 01:10:21.300 Was it a bunch of fundamental Baptists that came up with that? 01:10:21.300 --> 01:10:25.540 No, it was a bunch of Catholics and Catholics-lite that came up with that kind of a thing. 01:10:25.540 --> 01:10:28.980 I mean, if you think about like Oxford and these different colleges, 01:10:28.980 --> 01:10:34.260 it wasn't a bunch of fundamental Baptists that came up with the college system. 01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:36.660 The Bible college system, the Ivy League system. 01:10:36.660 --> 01:10:42.980 No, it was not. It was the world that came up with that because, news flash, the Catholics... 01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:47.360 And the Protestants, that's the world my friend. 01:10:47.360 --> 01:10:51.160 I mean they're LARPing as Christians, but they're not. 01:10:51.160 --> 01:10:55.840 They're not saved, they don't have the Holy Ghost, they don't care what the Bible says at all. 01:10:55.840 --> 01:11:00.440 Again, but like I said earlier, we're not Catholics that just do whatever we want 01:11:00.440 --> 01:11:04.440 and then go mind scriptures for reasons as wide as what we're doing is okay. 01:11:04.440 --> 01:11:09.240 No, we're actually Christians, we believe the Bible, and we go with what the Bible actually says. 01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:16.800 You know, we don't start with what we want to do, we start with the Bible and then figure out what we want to do based on what the Bible says, right? 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:26.800 And so, you know, all of these organizations, these Bible colleges, these seminaries, they're unbiblical. 01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:29.800 And they were started by a bunch of unsaved people. 01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:31.300 Okay, and so. 01:11:32.300 --> 01:11:38.300 And the other thing, it's like, you know, if these institutions were biblical, 01:11:39.420 --> 01:11:45.500 why do they all go bad every time? I mean, again, all of these Ivy League schools, 01:11:45.500 --> 01:11:52.620 you know, like Yale and Princeton, you know, and, you know, what are some other prestigious schools? 01:11:55.500 --> 01:11:58.140 Nobody knows Harvard. Hell yeah, okay Harvard 01:11:59.580 --> 01:12:01.580 Stanford I don't think that was ever a 01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:08.420 That one's new though. That one doesn't count. That's not Ivy League. It's not old enough. It has to be from like the 1700s 01:12:08.420 --> 01:12:10.420 I don't know. I just made those rules up but 01:12:12.700 --> 01:12:20.020 But I mean all these prestigious schools right I mean are they just like bastions of fundamental Christianity? Yeah 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:30.700 You know, and they were supposedly, they started, you know, as Bible colleges, you know, to teach, you know, these Protestant denominations. 01:12:30.700 --> 01:12:33.500 They're basically schools for these Protestant denominations. 01:12:33.500 --> 01:12:37.200 Well, I mean, at the end of the day, though, they all just go bad. 01:12:37.400 --> 01:12:42.840 You know, I mean, I would submit to you that they started bad, but even from like their beginning 01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:49.240 stated purpose, right, of the people that founded all those Ivy League schools, their stated 01:12:49.240 --> 01:12:54.920 founding purpose is no longer being carried out. I mean, everyone, anybody would have to agree with that. 01:12:55.400 --> 01:13:03.200 Basically, they started out as like, you know, this, you know, this seminary or whatever for this, you know, particular denomination. 01:13:03.200 --> 01:13:08.000 And now they're teaching, you know, critical race theory or whatever. 01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:11.600 It's, you know, now they're teaching Marxism and critical race theory and whatnot. 01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:16.300 So, you know, obviously they have gone away from their stated beginning purpose. 01:13:16.300 --> 01:13:23.200 And, you know, one thing that an old IFB pastor told me one time, which I was surprised he said this, and I totally agreed. 01:13:23.400 --> 01:13:27.320 And it's I believe it's a hundred percent true. He said that all 01:13:28.280 --> 01:13:31.120 all pair church organizations eventually 01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:36.600 Go corrupt they eventually go bad, and I believe that's a hundred percent true. I 01:13:37.720 --> 01:13:40.320 mean for one it's a 01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:45.200 Even churches oftentimes eventually go bad 01:13:46.300 --> 01:13:52.100 Right? Like there's a saying, you know, hey, don't go to the first Baptist church because they've had too much time to go liberal. 01:13:52.100 --> 01:13:58.100 Right? And so, you know, even churches oftentimes eventually go bad. 01:13:58.100 --> 01:14:04.500 I mean, if you think about like all the different churches, you know, that are in the book of Revelation that were written to, 01:14:04.500 --> 01:14:06.500 you know, where are they today? 01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:10.000 You know, are they still holding services or are they still preaching strong? 01:14:10.500 --> 01:14:13.780 you know, they pretty much they all disappeared at some point. 01:14:13.780 --> 01:14:20.420 You know, an individual church is not necessarily a permanent organization. 01:14:21.060 --> 01:14:23.140 You know, over thousands of years. 01:14:23.500 --> 01:14:29.900 Things happen, churches either go bad or they go away or whatever may happen. 01:14:29.900 --> 01:14:37.300 But if it's not an actual church, God is not going to be blessing that organization. 01:14:37.300 --> 01:14:41.000 And that organization will not last. 01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:46.440 in its intended purpose. I mean you could have, because I mean look, like there's all these 01:14:46.440 --> 01:14:50.280 actual fundamental Baptist Bible colleges everywhere, you know, you got like Golden State, 01:14:50.280 --> 01:14:54.520 you know Golden Calf, you know Baptist College or whatever, you get all these, you know Crown 01:14:54.520 --> 01:15:00.360 College, all these different colleges are around. You know theoretically a lot of them are probably 01:15:00.360 --> 01:15:04.680 teaching good doctrine, you know some of them are you know are probably teaching like correct 01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:07.000 salvation and whatnot, but 01:15:07.700 --> 01:15:12.660 Are they going to stay the course forever? No, they're going to go downhill fast. 01:15:12.660 --> 01:15:19.060 You know, and these fundamental Baptist colleges, you know, almost all of them are actually new. 01:15:19.700 --> 01:15:24.900 They're from like the 90s. I think probably like the oldest one might be 01:15:26.980 --> 01:15:30.340 might be Hiles Anderson College because I think it was started in like, 01:15:31.060 --> 01:15:35.140 I want to say it was started in like the 60s, maybe the 70s actually. 01:15:35.700 --> 01:15:38.700 I started in the 70s and that's like one of the oldest ones. 01:15:38.700 --> 01:15:44.420 I think there's a college called Brown College and it was started in like the late 1700s 01:15:44.420 --> 01:15:45.420 or whatever. 01:15:45.420 --> 01:15:51.700 But that's not a fundamental Baptist college, it was just like a generic Baptist I guess, 01:15:51.700 --> 01:15:53.820 somewhere on the East Coast. 01:15:53.820 --> 01:15:58.220 And so we don't live on the East Coast so we don't care. 01:15:58.220 --> 01:16:02.700 But you know, these fundamental Baptist colleges are all really new. 01:16:03.200 --> 01:16:05.200 But how long are they going to last? 01:16:05.200 --> 01:16:09.200 You know, I mean, what's the Paul Chapel College? 01:16:09.200 --> 01:16:11.200 What's that one called? 01:16:11.200 --> 01:16:13.200 West Coast Baptist College. 01:16:13.200 --> 01:16:15.200 I mean, that one's already going liberal. 01:16:15.200 --> 01:16:19.200 I mean, it's been going liberal, like very liberal, for the last like 10 years. 01:16:19.200 --> 01:16:25.200 You know, where, I mean, I've even heard like, you know, old IFB people talk and smack about it. 01:16:25.200 --> 01:16:27.200 But how liberal it is. 01:16:28.300 --> 01:16:30.660 And, you know, just a few years ago. 01:16:30.660 --> 01:16:35.700 And so it's like, you know, these organizations, they don't have God's blessing, they're not 01:16:35.700 --> 01:16:37.980 biblical, and they're going to go bad. 01:16:37.980 --> 01:16:41.280 And you know, I would say that they're going to go bad a lot faster than a good Baptist 01:16:41.280 --> 01:16:43.300 church is going to go bad. 01:16:43.300 --> 01:16:44.300 Right? 01:16:44.300 --> 01:16:52.180 So anyways, I don't believe that Bible college is a good place to be learning Bible knowledge. 01:16:52.180 --> 01:16:52.680 Um... 01:16:53.300 --> 01:16:56.340 And you know basically they're just following the pattern of the world. 01:16:56.340 --> 01:17:02.840 You know we see that the world has college, the world has Stanford University, the world has Duke University, 01:17:02.840 --> 01:17:06.240 and we think that's so wonderful and so great so we want to copy that. 01:17:06.240 --> 01:17:08.240 And so we start a Bible college. 01:17:08.240 --> 01:17:12.940 And here's the other thing about why Bible college is definitely completely unbiblical. 01:17:12.940 --> 01:17:16.400 It's because if I want to go to Bible college... 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:26.280 you know, it cannot be part of a church because you have to pay to go to college, right? I mean, 01:17:26.280 --> 01:17:31.960 is there any Bible college that you can go to for free? No, there isn't. So you have to pay in order 01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:37.160 to go to Bible college. And so therefore it cannot be because a lot of people will say, well, you know, 01:17:37.160 --> 01:17:42.520 this like West Coast Baptist College or Crown College, you know, they'll have it as part. 01:17:43.100 --> 01:17:47.900 of the Baptist Church. It's like it's under the umbrella of their Baptist Church or whatever. 01:17:47.900 --> 01:17:53.420 But the thing about it is that it definitionally cannot be because you don't pay to come to church 01:17:54.060 --> 01:17:57.660 and so if you have to pay to go to Bible college it's not part of the church. 01:17:58.300 --> 01:18:02.860 That's a separate organization because church is you don't pay to go to church. 01:18:03.420 --> 01:18:06.540 And you know people say we have to tithe well here's the thing. 01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:11.600 Nobody forces you to tithe. It's all 100% voluntary. 01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:17.600 You could not tithe ever, and you could go to church forever. 01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:22.600 But we'll have sermons about tithing, why you should tithe, 01:18:22.600 --> 01:18:27.600 about why if you don't tithe, God is probably going to get out a 12 gauge shotgun 01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:31.600 and blow 30 holes in your money bag. 01:18:31.600 --> 01:18:35.000 There's all kinds of preaching about that, but guess what? 01:18:35.500 --> 01:18:37.660 I mean, we're not Mormons. 01:18:37.660 --> 01:18:40.980 We're not like, hey, you need to give us your tax returns 01:18:40.980 --> 01:18:43.320 to make sure you're tithing properly, right? 01:18:43.320 --> 01:18:45.900 We're not an insane cult, okay? 01:18:45.900 --> 01:18:50.900 So you can not tithe, you can tithe whatever, 01:18:51.020 --> 01:18:53.180 that's between you and God. 01:18:53.180 --> 01:18:57.260 And nobody's gonna stop you from coming to church 01:18:57.260 --> 01:18:58.940 because you didn't tithe or whatever. 01:18:58.940 --> 01:19:03.420 So that is 100% different from 01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:06.160 Having an actual tuition like hey 01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:12.140 This year's tuition is going to be ten thousand dollars, and you can't come to the classes unless you pay 01:19:12.900 --> 01:19:16.760 Go get yourself a federally backed. You know student loan 01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:24.740 That you will you know that you will not be able to get rid of no matter what you do unless you actually pay it 01:19:24.740 --> 01:19:29.560 All off go get yourself a federally backed loan so you can give us money so you can pay for your Bible college 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:30.900 That's unbiblical 01:19:31.200 --> 01:19:38.400 I mean, Jesus went into the temple multiple times, started flipping over tables and whipping people, 01:19:38.400 --> 01:19:41.280 because people were charging money for things in church. 01:19:41.280 --> 01:19:46.720 Okay, and so charging money for anything in church is unbiblical, right? 01:19:46.720 --> 01:19:52.400 So having a Bible college as part of your church, I mean, unless it's 100% free, 01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:57.040 and anybody that's just part of your church could just go to any of the classes. 01:19:57.800 --> 01:20:02.140 Unless that's happening, which I don't think that's happening anywhere, 01:20:02.140 --> 01:20:06.340 unless that's the case, then it's unbiblical and it's not part of the church. 01:20:06.340 --> 01:20:12.800 So again, we should be able to learn anything that can be taught from the Bible, 01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:17.140 we should be able to learn it from the church. 01:20:17.140 --> 01:20:19.140 So, uh... 01:20:19.900 --> 01:20:23.500 Anyway, so that kind of wraps up that half of the sermon. 01:20:23.500 --> 01:20:27.500 The second half should be quite a bit shorter. 01:20:27.500 --> 01:20:34.700 Go ahead and turn to 2 Corinthians chapter number 6. 01:20:34.700 --> 01:20:35.700 Second Corinthians chapter number 6. 01:20:35.700 --> 01:20:41.780 So the second half is going to be about study Bibles. 01:20:49.100 --> 01:20:54.980 why study Bibles are unbiblical. And you know there's a lot of different 01:20:54.980 --> 01:20:59.620 kinds of study Bibles out there. You know there's ones, you know there's 01:20:59.620 --> 01:21:05.580 commentaries, study Bibles, and reference Bibles. And most 01:21:05.580 --> 01:21:09.780 Bibles actually are gonna have references. Like this Bible I have 01:21:09.780 --> 01:21:17.000 here, it does have, technically it does have references, right? But it's like 01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:21.920 kind of like a stealth references, I guess, because like you just 01:21:22.480 --> 01:21:23.720 there'll be a 01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:25.720 you there's just like a 01:21:26.220 --> 01:21:33.360 Like a psalm like this is psalm 66. I'm looking at right here and just under verse 4. There's a psalm 22 7 01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:36.860 So it's like telling you there's something to reference in psalm 22 7 01:21:37.960 --> 01:21:42.400 but most Bibles are gonna have some kind of a reference in there and 01:21:43.900 --> 01:21:46.940 I would say that you can pretty much just ignore them. 01:21:47.580 --> 01:21:49.580 You know, ignore the references. 01:21:50.300 --> 01:21:56.780 You know, don't get a study Bible or a commentary, right? Because those, what a commentary is, is basically, 01:21:57.260 --> 01:22:03.780 you know, you're reading the Bible and then in the notes or, you know, at the bottom of the page or somewhere in the Bible 01:22:03.780 --> 01:22:09.580 or somewhere, you know, on the page, there's got to be notes that somebody has written to help you 01:22:10.660 --> 01:22:11.900 interpret the Bible. 01:22:12.100 --> 01:22:18.900 But here's the thing about that, is that basically a reference Bible and a study Bible, 01:22:18.900 --> 01:22:25.620 it's basically, it's just giving you the opinions of some unsaved guy about the Bible, okay? 01:22:25.620 --> 01:22:33.380 Because the vast majority of all of these study Bibles and reference Bibles are put together by an unsaved person. 01:22:33.900 --> 01:22:39.500 by somebody who doesn't even believe in eternal security or doesn't even believe in salvation by 01:22:39.500 --> 01:22:47.980 grace or faith. The vast majority of them do not. And I'm sure you can probably find somebody for 01:22:47.980 --> 01:22:54.860 me that wrote a commentary that is saved. I'm sure that exists somewhere. But the vast majority of 01:22:54.860 --> 01:22:59.800 them they're just some unsaved guy writing in these notes. 01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:05.840 But the Bible does not prescribe having an unsafe person interpret the Bible for you. 01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:06.840 Okay? 01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:12.520 The Bible makes it very clear that we should avoid those kinds of people, right? 01:23:12.520 --> 01:23:17.840 But here in 2 Corinthians, the Bible does tell us how we should interpret the Bible. 01:23:20.400 --> 01:23:29.480 In 2 Corinthians chapter number 6, verse number 17, it says, actually, I took you to the wrong 01:23:29.480 --> 01:23:30.480 reference. 01:23:30.480 --> 01:23:32.240 Go ahead and turn to John chapter number 14. 01:23:32.240 --> 01:23:34.240 This is the wrong reference. 01:23:34.240 --> 01:23:36.880 This is 2 Corinthians chapter... 01:23:37.400 --> 01:23:43.660 617 is to round out the end of my previous point where it talks about, hey, you know, you should be separate 01:23:44.280 --> 01:23:48.140 And we should be following the world in their Bible college, you know come out from among them be separate 01:23:48.140 --> 01:23:52.280 We need to be different from the world not copying them. So I had you go to the wrong verse there 01:23:53.220 --> 01:23:55.660 Let's see here, but in John chapter number 14 01:23:58.380 --> 01:24:00.380 This is what I wanted to talk about 01:24:00.900 --> 01:24:03.840 John 14, look at verse number 26, it says, 01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:06.340 but the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 01:24:06.340 --> 01:24:08.380 whom the Father will send in my name, 01:24:08.380 --> 01:24:10.300 he shall teach you all things 01:24:10.300 --> 01:24:12.140 and bring all things to your remembrance, 01:24:12.140 --> 01:24:15.280 whatsoever I have said unto you. 01:24:15.280 --> 01:24:16.780 So according to the Bible here, 01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:22.440 You know, God basically has given us the gift of the Holy Ghost, right, because Jesus, He 01:24:22.440 --> 01:24:25.200 left, so which means the Holy Ghost has come. 01:24:25.200 --> 01:24:28.560 You know, we sing that song, the Comforter has come, right? 01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:34.160 And so the Comforter has come, the Holy Ghost has come, and He is going to teach us all 01:24:34.160 --> 01:24:36.860 things and He will bring all these things to our remembrance. 01:24:36.860 --> 01:24:40.900 So who should be here to help us when reading our Bible? 01:24:40.900 --> 01:24:44.320 Who should be there to help us during our personal Bible reading time? 01:24:45.200 --> 01:24:54.960 John MacArthur! No, right? Should it be Matthew Henry? What about Charles Spurgeon? I mean, 01:24:54.960 --> 01:25:00.800 who else? What other famous commentaries are out there? I mean, like the most famous one, 01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:05.200 and this is the one that everyone is talking about these days, you know, is C.I. Schofield. 01:25:05.900 --> 01:25:11.800 Schofield, who's not even a Baptist, who's not even saved, he is going to help you interpret 01:25:11.800 --> 01:25:12.800 the Bible. 01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:14.680 You know, forget about the Holy Ghost. 01:25:14.680 --> 01:25:18.580 The Holy Ghost, that's like, that's so last century. 01:25:18.580 --> 01:25:21.540 You know, that's so, you know, that's so time of Christ. 01:25:21.540 --> 01:25:25.860 You know, we need to get into the 20th century, into the 21st century, you know, where we 01:25:25.860 --> 01:25:30.820 have all these commentaries and study Bibles to help us understand the Bible. 01:25:30.820 --> 01:25:32.980 I mean, that's not what the Bible's saying, is it? 01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:36.120 The Bible's saying, hey, guess what? 01:25:36.120 --> 01:25:38.840 The Holy Ghost will teach you these things. 01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:45.760 And so, you know, we don't need to have some heretic helping us learn. 01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:50.040 Every time we open the Bible, some heretic is there whispering into your ear. 01:25:50.040 --> 01:25:51.920 I mean, here's the thing, like this... 01:25:52.100 --> 01:25:56.300 This is where just mountains of false doctrine are coming from. 01:25:56.300 --> 01:26:06.000 I mean, to reference kind of the most popular reference Bible in Baptist circles is the Schofield Reference Bible, right? 01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:12.800 I mean, the Schofield Reference Bible is probably the number one reason why there are so many Baptists 01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:19.500 that are just all believing in Zionism, that are just all believing in the preacher of rapture, and all believing in dispensationalism. 01:26:19.500 --> 01:26:20.100 It's because... 01:26:20.100 --> 01:26:25.300 Because they've been reading the Schofield Reference Bible, and they've had Schofield 01:26:25.300 --> 01:26:29.660 sitting on their shoulder whispering in their ear every time they open up the Bible and 01:26:29.660 --> 01:26:33.340 they're reading Genesis chapter number 12 and whatnot. 01:26:33.340 --> 01:26:38.520 They got this hair tick trying to tell them what the Bible actually means, right? 01:26:38.520 --> 01:26:42.420 And it's like, you know, because there's absolutely no way... 01:26:43.100 --> 01:26:48.640 If you just read the New Testament, you know, you don't have somebody teaching you this false doctrine 01:26:48.640 --> 01:26:52.800 You don't have some some some commentary teaching you this false doctrine 01:26:52.960 --> 01:26:56.460 There's no way you're just gonna come up if it's just you and the Holy Spirit 01:26:56.460 --> 01:27:02.140 There's no way you're gonna come up with Zionism, right? And it's it's I don't know. It's funny that 01:27:03.380 --> 01:27:08.240 You know in the last couple years everyone, you know, not everyone but like 01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:14.720 you know it's it's it's it's entered into kind of the political zeitgeist people are talking about 01:27:14.720 --> 01:27:22.000 the scoefield reference bible it's it's it's kind of weird but you know it is it is really annoying 01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:29.440 to me that you know all of a sudden after october 7th right after 2023 all of a sudden just all these 01:27:29.440 --> 01:27:35.920 religious people are just against zionism it's like you know what where were you 10 years ago 01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:39.660 Where were all these people, these bunch of Johnny-come-lately's, 01:27:39.660 --> 01:27:45.380 you know, all these pastors and ministers that are all of a sudden just 100% against Zionism 01:27:45.380 --> 01:27:51.180 and pointing out how it's unbiblical, and look, all of a sudden we found Galatians chapter number 3. 01:27:51.180 --> 01:27:53.380 You know, we opened up our Bible. 01:27:54.900 --> 01:28:00.800 Just fill the room and we found Galatians chapter number three where the Bible clearly tells us that 01:28:01.380 --> 01:28:09.040 That that Genesis chapter number 12 is talking about Jesus Christ and those that are in him, you know it and it's it's really annoying 01:28:09.940 --> 01:28:15.120 Because you know all these guys that have you know, apparently just discovered the truth about Zionism 01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:18.800 I mean the vast majority of them are not even Baptists 01:28:19.300 --> 01:28:26.300 You know, you got a bunch of these Protestant ministers and a bunch of these Catholics and whatnot that are exposing Zionism. 01:28:26.300 --> 01:28:33.300 And it's like, you know, it really takes me off because for one, where were all these people ten years ago? 01:28:33.300 --> 01:28:39.300 It's like, if you weren't anti-Zionist ten years ago, then I don't give a flip about your opinion. 01:28:39.300 --> 01:28:46.300 But it's like, although I should say people can learn, alright? I will say that, alright? 01:28:47.700 --> 01:28:54.660 Let me caveat that, right? If you are an actual Bible-believing Christian, and you are actually 01:28:54.660 --> 01:28:59.060 just learning or whatever, you know, okay, that's great, that's good. But you know, all these fake 01:28:59.060 --> 01:29:02.580 Protestants or whatever, all these fake Christians that have all of a sudden discovered the evils of 01:29:02.580 --> 01:29:10.740 Zionism, I don't care about their opinion. But what was I going to say? I was going to say something 01:29:10.740 --> 01:29:14.740 very profound. It was going to blow everyone's mind, right? 01:29:15.100 --> 01:29:18.360 But, oh, that's what I was going to say. 01:29:18.360 --> 01:29:25.140 You know, the criticism of Zionism should be coming, should be sounded forth and thundered 01:29:25.140 --> 01:29:27.180 forth from the Baptist. 01:29:27.180 --> 01:29:30.460 Okay, it should be coming from an actual Bible believer's perspective. 01:29:31.100 --> 01:29:35.420 not some Catholic light's perspective, not some Protestant's perspective, not some Catholic or 01:29:35.420 --> 01:29:42.620 Orthodox perspective, because their opinions of doctrine are 100% irrelevant because they just 01:29:42.620 --> 01:29:50.940 believe what's convenient to them. And you know basically ever since 2023 and you know ever since 01:29:50.940 --> 01:29:55.500 you know October 7th and basically the genocide that's happened over in Gaza, 01:29:55.500 --> 01:29:58.300 it's very convenient for people to be against Zionism. 01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:04.360 And so that's why there's this huge resurgence of anti-Zionism or whatever, 01:30:04.360 --> 01:30:07.320 and people pointing out what the Bible actually says about that. 01:30:07.320 --> 01:30:10.080 But again, they didn't care before. 01:30:10.080 --> 01:30:11.800 They couldn't give a flip before that. 01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:20.520 Where were all these people back in, what was it, like 2015 when Marching to Zion came out? 01:30:21.300 --> 01:30:27.140 I mean, I don't know. It's like, it's bizarre. But I mean, Galatians chapter number three has been here the whole time. 01:30:28.500 --> 01:30:37.100 I mean, literally since like, what, 70 AD or whatever, you know, whenever the book of Galatians was penned down, what, like 50 AD? 01:30:37.100 --> 01:30:43.300 It's been there. You know, the New Testament's been here for, you know, however long. 01:30:44.500 --> 01:30:48.700 But, you know, people are just now figuring out that Zionism is wrong. 01:30:48.700 --> 01:30:53.860 But, you know what, hey, if it took, like, you know, hundreds of thousands of people 01:30:53.860 --> 01:30:58.300 being murdered by the Jews for people to figure it out, well, I guess, praise God, that people 01:30:58.300 --> 01:30:59.580 are figuring out that the Jews are bad. 01:30:59.580 --> 01:31:00.580 I don't know. 01:31:00.580 --> 01:31:01.580 All right. 01:31:01.580 --> 01:31:02.580 All right. 01:31:02.580 --> 01:31:06.020 Anyway, we're, uh, where were we? 01:31:06.020 --> 01:31:10.060 I've been ranting and raving about Zionism, which wasn't really part of my sermon to begin 01:31:10.060 --> 01:31:11.060 with. 01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:19.360 What did uh, what was the last verse that I read? John 14. Okay, go ahead and turn to 01:31:19.360 --> 01:31:23.600 1 Corinthians chapter number 2. I told you that this section was going to be shorter, 01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:30.400 uh, and maybe it will be, I don't know. Um, 1 Corinthians chapter number 2. 01:31:33.900 --> 01:31:41.360 So, okay, so my point with all that Zionism talk is the fact that Zionism largely came 01:31:41.360 --> 01:31:46.020 from the Schofield Reference Bible. 01:31:46.020 --> 01:31:52.460 And so, because instead of just getting their doctrine from the Bible, a lot of these Baptist 01:31:52.460 --> 01:31:55.780 preachers, these evangelical preachers, you know, they're getting their doctrine from 01:31:55.780 --> 01:31:57.380 the Schofield Reference Bible. 01:31:57.380 --> 01:32:01.460 That's why there's this huge amount of Zionism in the world today, is because of that. 01:32:02.300 --> 01:32:06.460 it's absolutely unbiblical. So instead of using the Holy Spirit like they should 01:32:06.460 --> 01:32:10.980 have been, they were using Scofield. It says in 1st Corinthians chapter number 01:32:10.980 --> 01:32:15.340 2 verse 9, it says, as it is written, I have not seen nor hearth heard, neither 01:32:15.340 --> 01:32:19.420 hath entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them 01:32:19.420 --> 01:32:26.060 that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his spirit, for the spirit 01:32:26.060 --> 01:32:29.300 searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God. 01:32:29.400 --> 01:32:38.700 For what man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him. 01:32:38.700 --> 01:32:43.800 Even so, the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God. 01:32:43.800 --> 01:32:47.200 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, 01:32:47.200 --> 01:32:53.100 but the spirit which is of God, hath that we might know the things 01:32:53.100 --> 01:32:55.600 that are freely given unto us of God. 01:32:56.400 --> 01:33:01.400 Which things also we speak not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 01:33:01.400 --> 01:33:04.100 but which the Holy Ghost teacheth. 01:33:04.400 --> 01:33:09.400 comparing spiritual things with spiritual, 01:33:09.400 --> 01:33:12.700 but the natural man received not the things of the Spirit of God, 01:33:12.700 --> 01:33:14.500 for they are foolishness unto him, 01:33:14.500 --> 01:33:19.800 neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned." 01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:25.000 So again, the Bible here in this passage is hammering over and over and over again 01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:29.800 that the Spirit of God is what is going to help you understand the Bible. 01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:32.300 And if you, you know, I'm sure this... 01:33:32.400 --> 01:33:37.640 happened to probably all of us out soul-witting. You know, you show somebody like a super clear 01:33:37.640 --> 01:33:45.080 verse on salvation or something, and they just don't get it. And it's like, but it's 01:33:45.080 --> 01:33:50.840 right there. Like, that's what it says. They just have, they don't get it at all. The reason 01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:57.400 why that they just don't understand it at all, and it's just so obvious to you, is because 01:33:57.400 --> 01:34:00.040 you have the Holy Spirit of God, and they don't. 01:34:00.400 --> 01:34:07.400 That's why, in order for somebody to get saved, they have to have a soul winner who has the Spirit of God explain these things to them. 01:34:07.400 --> 01:34:11.400 That's why we have soul winning is because people can't just get saved on their own. 01:34:11.400 --> 01:34:16.400 They can't understand the Bible on their own. They have to have somebody come alongside and help them out. 01:34:16.400 --> 01:34:18.400 Explain these things to them. 01:34:18.400 --> 01:34:26.400 And so, again, the Bible didn't say that we need C.I. Schofield to help us understand the Bible. 01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:32.000 He said, He's given us the Spirit of God who's going to reveal these things to us. 01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:40.000 So the reason why we're able to understand the Bible is because the Holy Spirit has been given to us. Amen. 01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:45.000 And the Bible makes it clear that unsaved people, they're not going to understand the spiritual things of the Bible. 01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:48.000 Now here's the thing though. 01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:50.520 You know unsaved people they can repeat 01:34:52.040 --> 01:34:54.920 They can repeat true things from the Bible that they've heard 01:34:55.800 --> 01:35:01.240 Right? And so you could have a false prophet that is preaching the Bible, 01:35:02.280 --> 01:35:08.440 and he's totally, he's as lost as a blue jay in a windstorm. How does that saying go? 01:35:08.440 --> 01:35:11.480 He's as lost as a goose in a hurricane or something like that, right? 01:35:11.700 --> 01:35:17.620 And, you know, but he can still preach the Bible and sound like he's saved for a time, 01:35:17.620 --> 01:35:21.220 or for maybe for a sermon or for a certain subject or whatever. 01:35:21.220 --> 01:35:24.340 Why? Because he's able to repeat things that he's heard, right? 01:35:24.340 --> 01:35:29.540 I mean, that's how you get people that were like Baptist pastors for years or something, 01:35:30.180 --> 01:35:31.620 and then they go become an atheist. 01:35:32.340 --> 01:35:35.460 Or we find out that they were a pedophile, right? 01:35:35.460 --> 01:35:38.020 Now, I think that actually happened, I think, recently. 01:35:38.400 --> 01:35:42.880 where there was like a super famous Baptist pastor that turned out to be a pedophile. 01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:48.000 And you know, Stacy Shiflett like made a video about how sad it is or whatever. 01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:53.040 And it's like, yeah, by the way, that guy is unsafe too. Stacy Shiflett is definitely unsafe. 01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:57.280 But it's like, well, you know, how did that happen? It's like, well, because he can repeat. 01:35:58.200 --> 01:36:01.760 Stuff that he's heard right that's how Stacy Shilfoot is a pastor today 01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:08.400 He doesn't have the Spirit of God to help him interpret the Bible, but guess what he has all these other resources that he can help 01:36:09.200 --> 01:36:14.060 To formulate and repeat things that he's heard from other people. That's how that happens 01:36:15.180 --> 01:36:17.180 but anyways 01:36:17.500 --> 01:36:23.340 But you can just tell by his preaching on how to get saved that he's not saved because he definitely 01:36:24.140 --> 01:36:28.700 the Holy Spirit is not telling Stacey Shufflett that you have to turn from your sins in order to 01:36:28.700 --> 01:36:32.860 be saved you have to stop sinning in order to be saved. Holy Spirit didn't tell him that okay 01:36:32.860 --> 01:36:41.260 that's just um but anyways that's a that's another aside um in uh in John chapter number one 01:36:42.400 --> 01:36:47.600 And this will kind of interface a little bit with my first point in 1 John chapter. 01:36:48.320 --> 01:36:52.240 I told you John chapter number one, that's the wrong chapter. It's 1 John chapter number two. 01:36:53.440 --> 01:36:55.040 1 John chapter number two. 01:36:56.900 --> 01:37:00.300 The Bible says, verse number 27, 01:37:00.300 --> 01:37:03.340 But the anointing which ye have received of Him 01:37:03.340 --> 01:37:07.540 abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you. 01:37:07.540 --> 01:37:11.500 But as the same anointing teacheth you from all things, 01:37:11.500 --> 01:37:14.500 and is truth, and is no lie. 01:37:15.300 --> 01:37:21.460 Excuse me. And even as it have taught you, he shall be able, she shall abide in him. 01:37:21.460 --> 01:37:27.620 So the Bible is making it clear here that basically anything that you possibly can learn from the 01:37:27.620 --> 01:37:35.380 Bible, you can learn it on your own. You can learn it just you and the Holy Spirit. So 01:37:36.300 --> 01:37:41.100 You know, what that saying is, is that basically there's nothing that the preacher is going to 01:37:41.100 --> 01:37:45.740 teach you from the Bible that you couldn't have learned by yourself. Okay? Now, here's the thing 01:37:45.740 --> 01:37:52.140 about this. The Bible is a spiritual book and it's basically it's an infinite book. What do I mean 01:37:52.140 --> 01:37:59.260 by that? What I mean by that is that no one person is ever going to understand everything about this 01:37:59.260 --> 01:38:00.620 book, this side of heaven. 01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:04.200 Okay, now maybe we'll learn everything about it in heaven. 01:38:04.200 --> 01:38:09.000 Okay, in our new bodies and we'll have infinite memory and whatever. 01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:17.700 But this side of heaven, no one person has or ever will actually understand and learn everything from the Bible. 01:38:17.700 --> 01:38:20.200 Why? Because that's impossible. 01:38:20.200 --> 01:38:22.700 Okay, because the Bible is just too deep. 01:38:22.700 --> 01:38:25.200 You can't learn everything from the Bible. 01:38:25.200 --> 01:38:28.200 Okay, but here's the thing. 01:38:28.900 --> 01:38:36.900 What the Bible is saying here, there's no one thing that you could not learn with just you and the Holy Spirit by yourself. 01:38:36.900 --> 01:38:42.900 Okay? And people will sometimes, they'll try to use this first to say that, hey, you don't need to go to church. 01:38:42.900 --> 01:38:47.900 Well, here's the thing. You need to go to church because the Bible tells you you need to go to church, right? 01:38:47.900 --> 01:38:51.900 The Bible says, you know, forsake not the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is, 01:38:51.900 --> 01:38:54.900 but so much so more as you see the day approaching. 01:38:54.900 --> 01:38:56.700 I think I left. 01:38:56.900 --> 01:39:00.180 I don't think I got the whole verse there, but that's basically what the verse says. 01:39:00.180 --> 01:39:01.180 Look it up later. 01:39:01.180 --> 01:39:02.180 It's Hebrews 10.25. 01:39:02.180 --> 01:39:06.300 So, I think I got it pretty good though. 01:39:06.300 --> 01:39:10.380 So the Bible commands us to go to church, so that's one reason to go to church. 01:39:10.380 --> 01:39:12.060 Two, it's just good for you. 01:39:12.060 --> 01:39:14.460 It's kind of like the same reason you eat your vegetables. 01:39:14.460 --> 01:39:16.360 It's good for you. 01:39:16.360 --> 01:39:21.700 And so, going to church, there's a ton of different reasons why you should go to church. 01:39:22.300 --> 01:39:26.000 But here's the thing, people will try to use this verse here to say, 01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:29.000 oh, well, you see, you know, I need not that any man teach me, 01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:31.000 so I don't need to go to church. 01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:34.400 Well, no, you do need to go to church because God told you to go to church. 01:39:34.400 --> 01:39:36.700 But here's the thing. 01:39:36.700 --> 01:39:42.300 You know, the things that you learn at church, you could have learned on your own if they're true, right? 01:39:42.300 --> 01:39:47.600 But if you go to church, you can learn a lot of those things faster. 01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:48.300 Right? 01:39:48.700 --> 01:39:53.600 Because I mean, if you have somebody that has studied the Bible for years, 01:39:53.600 --> 01:39:56.900 and they already know a ton of things from the Bible, 01:39:56.900 --> 01:40:02.100 they can put, basically, they can fast track you on a lot of stuff from the Bible. 01:40:02.300 --> 01:40:07.500 Right? They're going to help you learn a lot of things a lot faster than you would have otherwise 01:40:07.500 --> 01:40:09.500 if you had just read the Bible on your own. 01:40:09.500 --> 01:40:15.900 But the thing about it is that you didn't need the preacher or the pastor to teach you those things. 01:40:15.900 --> 01:40:18.500 You could have learned them on your own. 01:40:18.500 --> 01:40:23.000 Right? So you don't need that any man teach you because there's nothing from this book 01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:24.700 that you couldn't have learned on your own. 01:40:24.700 --> 01:40:28.000 But guess what? You're just going to learn a lot faster. 01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:29.000 You know? 01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:35.320 by going to church and learning from somebody. Okay, and but and and here's the other thing about that is 01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:38.400 That the things you that you do learn from church 01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:43.140 You should be scrutinizing on your own 01:40:43.840 --> 01:40:50.520 So, you know the sermon that I preached this morning right about how how Bible college is unbiblical and how how 01:40:51.280 --> 01:40:52.700 how 01:40:53.400 --> 01:41:01.400 I can't even remember the word. I've lost my mind. Maybe you should definitely scrutinize everything that I've said in this sermon because I'm losing my mind right now. 01:41:01.400 --> 01:41:06.400 The study, everything, you know, I'm saying that Bible colleges are unbiblical and study Bibles are unbiblical. 01:41:06.400 --> 01:41:16.400 Commentaries are unbiblical, okay? You should, you should take, when you go home, you should open up the Bible and decide for yourself, is what I said biblical? 01:41:17.200 --> 01:41:20.880 You know the Bible verses I use, are they saying what I'm saying they're saying? 01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:25.840 You can go home and you can criticize and scrutinize for yourself. 01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:29.200 Because I mean if you can come up with just all kinds of verses as to why 01:41:29.200 --> 01:41:32.720 Bible college is a-okay and they study Bibles are actually helping 01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:35.600 a lot of people have sound doctrine or whatever. 01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:40.160 You know if the Bibles taught is if the Bibles are proving of it. 01:41:40.600 --> 01:41:45.480 You know, if that's what the Bible says, then go with what the Bible says instead of what I said. 01:41:46.360 --> 01:41:53.240 Right? And so why? Because it's you and the Holy Ghost should be the final authority on 01:41:53.800 --> 01:41:59.560 what you believe from the Bible. Because guess what? You know, this isn't, again, 01:42:00.360 --> 01:42:02.440 you know, we're not like the Catholics. 01:42:03.200 --> 01:42:07.900 where they're a cult, where they just make up any doctrine they want and you just have to believe it, 01:42:07.900 --> 01:42:09.900 well, because of the authority of the Catholic Church. 01:42:09.900 --> 01:42:14.900 Well, actually, we believe in biblical authority because we believe in the authority of Jesus Christ here at this church. 01:42:14.900 --> 01:42:17.900 And guess what? Jesus is the Word of God, right? 01:42:17.900 --> 01:42:22.900 So, anyways, the last verse I'll read for you and we'll be done. 01:42:23.300 --> 01:42:28.580 is Acts 17 and 11, it says these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, 01:42:28.580 --> 01:42:31.620 and that they received the word with all readiness of mind 01:42:31.620 --> 01:42:36.100 and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 01:42:36.100 --> 01:42:40.420 And again, you know, the Bible's saying, hey, they searched the Scriptures. 01:42:40.700 --> 01:42:44.780 You know, they didn't search Schofield, they didn't search John MacArthur, they didn't 01:42:44.780 --> 01:42:53.460 search Moody or the Prince of Preachers, what's his face, Spurgeon. 01:42:53.460 --> 01:42:58.060 They weren't searching those guys, they were searching the scriptures, whether those things 01:42:58.060 --> 01:42:58.460 were so. 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:04.200 And so, you know, we should avoid study Bibles, and we should avoid commentaries, and we should 01:43:04.200 --> 01:43:10.760 avoid cemetery and Bible college. You know, there are two biblical places to learn Bible knowledge 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:14.840 is church and just the Bible itself. Let's go ahead and bow our heads in our word of prayer. 01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:17.320 All right, do you have any father? I thank you for this day, Lord. I thank you for everything 01:43:17.320 --> 01:43:18.400 you've done for us. 01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:23.400 Lord, we thank you for the New Testament Church, Lord, that you've given us for the edification 01:43:23.400 --> 01:43:24.400 of the saints. 01:43:24.400 --> 01:43:28.520 And Lord, we thank you for the Bible that you've given us also, that we can learn Bible 01:43:28.520 --> 01:43:29.520 doctrine from, Lord. 01:43:29.520 --> 01:43:33.700 And we pray that you please help us to use those two tools and none of these other unbiblical 01:43:33.700 --> 01:43:35.320 tools to help us understand the Bible, Lord. 01:43:35.320 --> 01:43:37.000 In the name of Jesus, amen. 01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:40.500 Oh
