So we expect that. They don't know what the Bible says about reprobates.
You know, but here's my problem. When you see saved independent fundamental Baptists,
or how about let's get more specific, new independent fundamental Baptists,
you know, praising him and saying, oh man, it's good. This guy is keeping his church doors open
and, you know, this guy, he's, you know, we don't agree on everything. You know, what's wrong with
you? What in the world is wrong with you when you know that Calvinism is wicked? You know that John
MacArthur has been called out multiple times for being a wicked person, yet you're praising him
for keeping his church doors open? You're admiring him for his stance? And it's interesting. Look,
it's amazing to me that Christians can be so gung-ho about doctrine, right?
They're just like, yeah, salvation's faith alone, and once saved, always saved, and, you know,
they say all these things, but here's the thing, doctrine just goes in the back burner when it
comes to political issues. Like, as soon as political issues arise, as soon as things start
going south in our country, all of a sudden they take off their new IFB hat and they put on their
old IFB Fox News hat, and doctrine just goes on the back burner, and I'm just appalled when I see
these posts and people saying, like, praising these wicked people. I'm like, you know this guy's
a devil, right? You know this guy's a rapper, right? You know, you know, prior to all of this,
you probably would have been calling him out and, you know, for who he is and the wolf in sheep's
clothing, but all of a sudden you just want to praise him? It's nonsense. Well, you know,
who cares if he's a false prophet? Who cares if he teaches lordship, salvation? God cares. God cares.
You know, you say, how do you know he cares? Because he says that which is highly esteemed
among men is an abomination in the sight of God. He's like, I don't care how much acclamation you
receive from people. I don't care how many, you know, names you got in your stupid petition.
I don't care how big your church is or how much literature you've sold. I don't care how big
your YouTube channel is. If you're highly esteemed among men, you're an abomination to God.
So let me just remind our beloved Baptist brethren, lest they forget, that the Bible says
they that forsake the law, listen closely, they that forsake the law praise the wicked.
Well, you know, I just like the fact that he's taking the stance, oh, you forsook the law.
No, I love the Bible, but you know, he's doing good. You know, a lot of pastors are standing up
and standing up against the government. Oh, so you forsook the law? Because I didn't see anything
about that in this verse. They that forsake the law praise the wicked, unless it has to do with
like political issues or something like that. That's the exception to the rule. No, God says,
flat line, if you're praising the wicked, you've obviously forsaken the law of God.
You obviously are putting doctrine on the back burner. This has now become a secondary issue
to you. God's doctrine about salvation, God's doctrine in the Bible has become a secondary
issue to you. You've forsaken the law of God. And the proof of that is this, is that you're
praising wicked people. Oh, what a great guy. He's wicked. He's a devil.
