Amen
So as many of you know
Evangelist Billy Graham died last week who heard about Billy Graham dying last week, okay?
So it's been all over the news the media the radio and to many people as a sad thing
I'm just gonna read a little write-up the about Billy Graham here real quickly
William Franklin Graham jr.. So I
Let's see better known as Billy Graham was an American evangelist of evangelical Christian evangelist and an ordained
Southern Baptist minister who became well known
internationally after 1949
He had been looked upon as one of the most
Influential preachers of the 20th century he held large indoor and outdoor rallies with sermons that were broadcast on radio and television
some still being rebroadcraft
broadcast into the 21st century
and his six decades of
Television Graham hosted annual Billy Graham Crusades which ran from
1947 until his retirement in 2005 he also hosted the popular radio show hour of decision from
1950 to 1954 he repudiated racial segregation in addition to his religious aims
He helped shape the world view of a huge number of people who came from different backgrounds
Leading them to find a relationship between the Bible and contemporary secular
viewpoints Graham preached to live audiences of nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and
territories through various meetings
Including BMS world mission and global mission he also reached hundreds of millions more through television
video film and webcast Graham was a spiritual advisor to American presidents and
Provided spiritual counsel to every president from Harry Truman to Barack Obama. He was particularly close to Dwight D. Eisenhower
Excuse me Lyndon B. Johnson one of Graham's closest friends and Richard Nixon he insisted on
racial integration for his revivals and crusades in 1953 and invited Martin Luther King jr.
To preach jointly at a revival in New York City in
1957 Graham
Bailed King out of jail in the 1960s when King was arrested during demonstrations
He was also lifelong friends with another televangelist the founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral Robert H
Schuler and Graham talked into starting his own television ministry Graham operated a variety of media and publishing outlets
according to his staff more than 3.2 million people have responded to the invitation at Billy Graham Crusades to
accept Christ as their personal Savior and
As of 2008 Graham's estimated lifetime audience included radio and television broadcast topped
2.2 billion because of his crusades Graham preached the gospel
To more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity
Graham was
Repeatedly on Gallup's list of most admired men and women he appeared on the list 60 times since 1955
More than any other individual in the world Grant Wacker
Reports that by the mid 1960s he had become the great legitimator
so
Graham also
During his his time
He was converted at age 16 according to his write-up
He was he was
Apparently led to the Lord by Mordecai Ham and during his time at Wheaton College Graham decided to accept the Bible
as the infallible Word of God
And this was later on so after his conversion
okay, according to
The write-up that I was reading so but quite frankly. I was just wondering if he was ever going to die
Many people revere Billy Graham as a great televangelist, but not me and
You know I'm gonna show you why here in in in just a few minutes
But the title of sermon today alone is enough to hair lip the Pope, okay?
The title of the title of the sermon today is why Billy Graham is roasting in hell
Why Billy Graham is roasting in hell? Let's have a word of prayer Heavenly Father Lord
We thank you for the Word of God and Lord. We know you hate false prophets Lord you hate wicked
People that would that would preach a false gospel and Lord
Let's pray that you would help me today fill me with the Holy Ghost in Jesus name Amen
You might say brother Aaron. Why are you saying that about Billy Graham? He was a great man
You know I read the write-up right he reached all these people so but the thing is
He reached people with the wrong message, and I'm just gonna take things that he said himself
And you know I think if it upsets you about you know me ripping on Billy Graham today
Then you just need to get in the Bible and read it more because the Word of God
Clearly declares
How God feels about false prophets you're in the book of Jude look at chapter or a chapter
There's only one chapter look at
Verse three it says beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation
It was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you should earnestly
Contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints for there are certain men
Crept in unawares you see that there's gonna be certain people that creep into churches
Unaware, and you're gonna think that they're good guys, but in reality. They're not good guys
It says who were before of old ordained to this condemnation
ungodly men
Turning the grace of God of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ
So the reason why I picked the book of Jude this morning is because the book of Jude lays out that we're supposed to earnestly
Contend for the faith that was once delivered look. There's only one kind of faith, and that's faith in Jesus Christ
There's no other faith
Okay, but Billy Graham didn't believe that so as Christian as people want to say he was look everybody adored Billy Graham
That's all I heard all week
Listening to the radio in my service truck I heard Oh Billy Graham died all poor Billy Graham
You know he was such a great man look if the world loves you
Then obviously you're not you know a friend of the world is not a friend of God
So many people across this nation are mourning Billy Graham
Why because the world loves its own that's why?
The world loves its own you wouldn't see people saying Oh pastor Anderson died today in the world mourning for him would you?
Or you know if pastor Jim as was to pass away
Do you think the sack of the city of Sacramento would be upset about that? Oh poor pastor minutes?
No, they'd be cheering and throwing a party
Because the world loves their own they don't love people that actually preach the truth and in real Bible doctrine
So reason number one why Billy Graham is roasting in hell this morning is because he was unsaved
So I'm just going to take this little excerpt also from the that I got from the internet
Which is always true you know that?
But this is true the Graham had turned down was turned down for a membership in a local youth group for being too
Worldly could he imagine that Billy Graham being too worldly so like I said before he was converted supposedly by a guy named
Mordecai Ham who preached a false gospel. I looked him up. He was repent of your sins all that stuff
But supposedly Graham was converted in 1934 at age 16 during a series of revival meetings in Charlotte led by Ham
after graduating from Sharon High School in May
1936 Graham attended Bob Jones College
Then located in Cleveland, Tennessee
After one semester he found it too legalistic in both coursework and rules
So Bob Jones University at that time was was a fundamental Bible college, okay?
It was so apparently it was too legalistic. See that's what people like to say too legalistic about
When someone would preach the truth, and I'm not sure whether you know what what Bob at Bob Jones University at one time?
Was supposedly a good Bible college, so if that's even if that even really exists, okay a good Bible college
But during his time so he went to Wheaton College after that and during his time at Wheaton
Graham decided to accept the Bible as the infallible word of God, so do you see something wrong with this already that Billy Graham?
He supposedly was saved at 16, but then having gone through Bible college
And then here he goes to after being at Wheaton College
He finally decides to accept the Bible as the infallible word of God well
Don't you think you before you you know before you get saved you have to accept that already?
I mean, that's that's kind of weird so Henrietta Mears of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood
Hollywood, California imagine that was instrumental in helping Graham wrestle with the issue so apparently he was wrestling with the fact that the
Bible is the word of God the inspired inspired
infallible word of God
So she was instrumental in helping him wrestle with the issue
He settled it at Forest Home Christian Camp now called Forest Home Ministries
Southeast of Big Bear Lake area in Southern, California a memorial there marks the site of
Graham's decision well yay Billy Graham you realize that the word of God was infallible when you were already supposedly saved
That doesn't make sense that dog doesn't hunt so explain to me how he was saved yet
He didn't believe the Bible
Explain that to me. I don't understand how that's possible because you know the Bible is very clear how you get saved
Here's another here's something from Billy Graham's website though
So supposedly he said that he believed that the Bible is the infallible word of God after being saved for several years
But this is from Billy Graham's own website and it before you say well Billy Graham probably didn't write this you know he wasn't
On the internet or whatever well, it's under his ministry
Webpage okay, and Billy Graham liked the NIV he liked all different kinds of Bible versions, okay?
He was King James only when it was the the main book that was used
But when all the new modern versions came out that he switched and just used whichever one he wanted
So here's this is from Billy Graham's own website. It says is the King James Bible the only reliable Bible
It says the work of the Bible translation is very complicated and men and misunderstandings easily arise
we do not have the original Hebrew Aramaic Old Testament or the original Greek New Testament as
Written by inspired men of God what we have is an Old Testament in Hebrew
Aramaic and thousands of Greek manuscripts apart or all the New Testament painstakingly copied and passed on to us through the centuries
There are differences in the Greek
Manuscripts such as minor issues of punctuation spelling word order certain verses including in some
Manuscripts and not in others etc, but none of these differences affect any of the major doctrines of our Christian faith
What a load of bull, right?
Some people prefer the King James translation because they have been familiar with it often from childhood
Others prefer modern translations because they are more easily understood
Also modern translators have the advantage of using many older Greek manuscripts of the New Testament discovered since the King James
Translation was made most scholars
Consider these old older manuscripts more reliable than the few
Later manuscripts available to those who translated the King James Bible. You see how they're just lying
They're just lying and trying to make it seem like the older manuscripts supposedly are better than the ones that they used on the King James
So basically what they're doing is they're just crumpling up the King James and throwing it in the trash can
So here it goes on to say this it is also helpful to remember that while King James
Authorized a particular translation for the Church of England in the 17th century
It is no more authoritative for us today than any other translation
It was highly criticized in its day for those who preferred earlier
Translations and it went through a number of revisions the King James version most widely used today is the 1769 version
Okay, so when they when they revised the King James though all they really did just change the font type
I have the 1611 right there
If you want to come look at at the end of the service and you compare it with what's in here
It's exactly the same
all it is, so that's that's an old English typeset and
The S's look like the F's look like S's and stuff like that
So they changed the font type and they changed spelling and they changed punctuation
Okay, they didn't change the verses
So the modern versions change major they say that it doesn't affect the mock the it doesn't affect the doctrines
Yeah, it does the new all the new versions affect Bible doctrine. That's why in acts 8
837 is not in the modern Bible versions because it says you have to believe in Jesus
Before you get baptized that verse is completely taken out of every modern version
So, how does that not affect doctrine be you know, that's Catholic. That's exactly what the Catholics believe
They pour water on baby's heads that can't even believe
So, how are they gonna get it's called believers baptism for a reason because you have to believe before you get baptized
anyway, so
Let's see, where was I out here
Okay, so people sometimes pick up to translation to expect them to be word for word the same when they find words missing
Or changed they think something sinister has happened. Yeah, because it has
In
Reality both can be perfectly faithfully translate translations of the original language the basic structures of languages
Defer one from another the translation is not just a matter of taking a Greek sentence and finding English words to match
The helpful resource on this topic is how to read the Bible for all its worth by Gordon fee
Douglas and Douglas Stewart do not get caught up in divisive and fruitless controversy
Over which of many good translations is best
Instead consider using a number of them for your study and reading and join in prayer and all the peoples in all
Countries of the world might soon have the Word of God in their own language. So that's they're even ecumenical with their Bible
Translations, but does it sound like Billy Graham really did accept the infallible Word of God
If he thought that all my all Bible versions are the same as this then he did not accept
That the Bible is infallible
He did not accept that because there's different
Versions that have taken out things and they've taken out key doctrines and they're not as good as this book here. They're just not
Anybody that actually looks at it and sees it for what it is you can't deny it
So and here's the other thing that Billy Graham said
This is what this is the what he how he what version for using for writing articles
Billy Graham said that he liked he preferred the NIV while writing articles and in the early years
He did use the King James
but you know
The thing is is that if he didn't believe that the Bible was the Word of God when he supposedly got saved at that tent
Revival and he doesn't believe later on that the Bible is the infallible Word of God. Is he saved?
Turn over to 1st Peter chapter 1
And I love to go to this one because it's so clear
It's just crystal clear
And people still get mad about this every time I preach it and I don't care
1st Peter 1 23 says being born again not of corruptible seed but of
incorruptible by the Word of God
So, how are you born again? Not of corruptible seed
but of
incorruptible seed you see that
So can a corrupted Bible version save somebody?
No, the NIV if it's missing whole verses out of there. It's intentionally corrupted
Look, it's not just that it's missing verses. They change verses. They change the meaning of it
And if they're doing that they're corrupting God's Word
So are you telling me that a reprobate?
So the minute you take a verse out of the Bible because you don't like what it says the minute you add
Something in the Bible because you don't like what it says or you want to make it say something
It doesn't your name is blotted out of the book of life
Instantly you're done. You can't be saved anymore. So you're telling me that a corrupted version that these
Reprobates try to translate they mess with the Word of God
They corrupt the Word of God and then all of a sudden you can get saved by their corruption
That doesn't make sense
what does make sense is that you got to have the
The incorruptible Word of God just like the Bible says right
It says by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever
Verse 24 for all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man is the flower of grass
The glass the grass the glass the grass withereth
The flower thereof fall away, but the Word of the Lord
Endureth forever and this is the word
Which by the gospel is preached unto you turn to chapter?
Romans chapter 10
Romans chapter number 10
So the Bible is very clear that
It's the incorruptible Word of God that gets you saved right is that what the Bible says or am I just making stuff up?
It's what the Bible says right so turn to Romans chapter 10 verse 16
Romans 10 verse 16
It says, but they have not all bait all obeyed the gospel for Isaiah's saith Lord who hath believed our
report so then faith cometh by hearing and
Hearing by the Word of God you have to hear the Word of God
Preached to you by someone that's saved in order for you to for that person to get saved
Okay, the Bible is very clear about this
That faith comes by hearing hearing by the Word of God and the Word of God has to be an incorruptible seed is that right?
Okay, so tell me how Billy Graham is saved
How was he saved when he didn't even believe that the Bible was the incorruptible Word of God?
Explain that to me nobody can explain that to me and yet millions of people are saying oh Billy Graham poor Billy Graham
He was saved he just got a little mixed up there in the middle years now. He was always mixed up
He was mixed up from the beginning
He was never saved and he stills not saved and he's still roasting flame broiling in hell right now today
Reason number two Billy Graham is roasting in hell's because he preached a false gospel
He preached a false gospel listen to this Billy Graham crusade in Los Angeles 1949
I'm just gonna kind of to go through some of the things that he would say
When he would give his invitation and he would do his little altar calls and stuff
But he would say specific things that we know are not right
1949 Los Angeles speaking in front of thousands of people he said Christ could be received by repenting of your sin
That's what he said so
Is that how you're saved no?
Crusade
1957 by Billy Graham you must be willing to renounce and turn from your sins
It will cost you your sins your salvation will cost you your sins
So basically what's he saying? He's saying that you have to give up all your sins in order to be saved, right?
Is that what the Bible teaches no?
You've never if you've never really surrendered your heart and your life to him
Then you're not really saved. That's another thing you said
What is repentance? This is what he's saying. What is repentance being willing to renounce your sins?
Willing to give up your sins and will give my life. I will surrender to him
Okay, and I'm gonna show you what the real gospel is here in just a minute
I'm just gonna tell you what he says what he says in his gospel
Supposedly the gospel that reached and and had three point two million people trust Christ, right?
Here's Billy Graham preaching the moral problem part four four 1964 to receive Christ first
You must be willing to repent of your sins
Must be willing to turn from your sin
1971 in Dallas
He said turn
Repent you'd be willing to turn from sin. Then you must be willing to obey him
So you see how false teachers work is is this that they give the right?
Gospel and then they mix in they throw a little bit of dirt into the water
Okay, they throw a little bit of
Crud into the water, right? So they make there's the see salvation is crystal clear in the Bible
But if you throw mud into it, that makes it muddy, doesn't it?
Right, that's that's you know
If you've ever had like a clean glass of water and some like a chunk of food goes in there or something
It's kind of gross, right? You don't want to drink after it, right?
It's the same way with the gospel you throw a little you know chunk of food in there
Gross, you don't want to drink it but that corrupts
The gospel it's it's a corruption of God's Word. It's a corruption of the gospel and then in 1981
He said what do I have to do to receive Christ?
This is Billy Graham three things
Repent of your sins be willing to repent
Third follow him and obey him
That's what he said. You have to do to be saved and look
I'll tell you what every religion in this world teaches the same exact garbage and
Almost every Christian Church teaches it
So how is so do you see how the one-world government is gonna is gonna make a one-world religion?
Or they're teaching the same thing repent of your sins. You must be willing to turn you must be willing to obey
Obey turn repent all this other stuff. Look that's not what repent means
First of all, it doesn't always mean repent of your sins
Look repent of your sins show me in the Bible where it says that you have to repent of all your sins
Show me now people can say well, you know you repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, right?
But look it says repent. It doesn't say repent of all your sins
There's not one time in the King James Bible where it says you must repent of all your sins turn to Galatians chapter 1
See Billy Graham is a very charismatic person
He had a charismatic preaching style and people loved him
But but look the message look when we go to the door when we go to people's doors
And we try to preach the gospel to them, you know, what do they always say? Yeah, I'm saved. Why are you saved?
I just heard it yesterday because I'm a good person
You know people and people are lulled into sleep and lulled into thinking that they're saved because they think they're a good person
But the Bible doesn't teach that the Bible doesn't teach that you have to be a good person to be saved
Galatians chapter 1 verse 6
Says I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another
Gospel which is not another
But there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ
So there's people that are Bible their gospel perverts Billy Graham is a gospel was was a gospel pervert
And so he threw in some other junk in there that didn't belong and
Because he wasn't saved. How did he get other people saved if he wasn't saved himself? You can't do that
So it says which is not another but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ
but though we
This pop the Apostle Paul talking here though
We or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you
Let him be accursed
So is the title of my sermon so bad the bot God says let him be accursed
As we said before so say I now again if any man preached any other gospel unto you than that which you have received
Let him be accursed
Okay, God's really clear on the subject the Apostle Paul was really clear on the subject
He's accursed and what happens if you're accursed are you are you all sudden friends with God?
No, you're not friends with God if you're accursed that accursed means you're going to hell
Jonah chapter 3 verse 10 turn over there Jonah chapter 3 verse 10 Jonah 3 10
Jonah 3 10 the Bible says this and God saw their works
That they turned from their evil way and
God
Repented of the evil that he said he would do unto them and he did it not
So the reason why I'm reading this verse to you is because people will say oh you got you got to turn from your sins
You got to repent of all your sins, right?
But look at look at let's let God define what turning from your sins is let's let's let God define
What repentance is for you? Okay, it says and God saw their works. Okay. So what did he see?
He saw their works right and then he defines it for you what the works are that they turned from their evil way
So repentance people will say repentance means to turn right it depends on the context of what you're turning from
Turning from unbelief to belief that's getting saved
Turning from going to walking over to Platt pantry to just changing your mind and deciding to come back
That's turning that's that's repenting. Okay, but it says that they that they turn from their evil way
So what was the works that the people in Nineveh did after they heard the preaching of Jonah?
They turned from their evil way
So they but you know before this they believed the preaching of Jonas
Okay, so they believed Jonah they believed his message and then they got saved
Okay, then they turn from their evil way, that's the difference
You don't turn from your evil way to get saved you turn from your evil way because you got saved
That's the difference
So when God defines it for you in this verse it says and God saw their works that they turn from their evil way
So is turning from your evil way at work? Yes, it is
So when Billy Graham give God up and said you got to repent of your sins. You got to be willing to repent
He's putting
repentance before salvation
He said you have to turn from your evil way before you get saved. That's not what the Bible says. Is it?
It says and he's and and God repented of the evil that he said he would do unto them and he did it not
So it's funny that the word repent is in there
See God saw their works because he was gonna destroy Nineveh because of the things that they were doing
But once they got saved then they got right and did the right thing
so
Then God spared them he repented of the evil that he said he would do unto them now
People will take the word repent and they'll go. Yeah, I mean repenting of your sins. So you're saying God God's a sinner
Because in this verse it says God repented of the evil. So was he was he doing something bad?
No evil just means to do harm. God was gonna destroy Nineveh
Just like he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and they deserved it
Okay, so God repented of the evil the the bad the harm he was gonna do to that city
Because of what they did
Okay, and that he said that he would do unto them and he did it not so what is the gospel turn over to 1st?
Corinthians chapter 15
What is the real gospel?
1st Corinthians 15
These are the clearest verses. I think that you can that it just says what the gospel is
Okay, 1st Corinthians 15 gospel means good news or glad tidings
Says moreover brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you
So what's he talking about the gospel? This is the Apostle Paul once again, which you have received and wherein you stand
By which also you are saved if you keep in memory that which I preach unto you unless you have believed in vain
For I delivered unto you
First of all that which I also received so Paul so remember I told you faith cometh by hearing here by the Word of God
It says first I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received so Paul had already received the gospel Paul was saved
He preached to them the gospel and they got saved
Okay, and how it says how Christ died for our sins number one according to the scriptures
And
That he was buried number two and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures so
Jesus Christ died on the cross
He was buried and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
So and it says and that he was seen of Cephas
That's Peter then of the twelve after that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once of whom the greater part remain
Unto this present, but some are falling asleep
After that he was seen of James then of all the apostles and last of all he was seen of me as one
Born out of due time so people saw the resurrected Lord the Lord Jesus Christ. They saw him resurrected
It's a fact of history that Jesus Christ was a real man and that he really did die on a cross
And you know the faith that you have to believe is that he rose again
That's the faith you have to believe in that he is not only just the Son of God
But that he is God the Bible says that Jesus was God
Manifests in the flesh. So how are you really saved turn over to Acts chapter 16 verse number 30
Remember Billy Graham said you have to repent you have to be willing to repent
So first you have to repent then you have to be willing to repent then you got to obey God
That's
The stinking worst gospel that's out there right now. That's what everybody believes in Christianity right now. It's not true though
because the wolves have crept in and not spared the flock and they are lording over God's heritage and
There's just a few
There's just a few people that are preaching the right thing
I'm not just a few but I don't know very many people in this town that are preaching the right gospel
But
Let's see Acts 16 verse 30. It says and brought them out and said sirs. What must I do to be saved?
That's the only time that's ever asked in the whole Bible just one time sirs
What must I do to be saved?
And look what and look what he's told and they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved and thy house and they spake unto him the word of the Lord and
To all that were in his house
So they didn't just say hey believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and they're like okay
I do know they preach the Bible to them. They preach the gospel to them from the word of the Lord
So what does the Bible say you have to do to be saved you have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?
What's Billy Graham say you got to repent of all your sins?
You got to turn over a new leaf. You got to be willing to turn right?
That's that's what Billy Graham says so what do you see how the Bible says something different than what Billy Graham was saying?
John 647 I won't have you turn there. It says verily verily I say unto you he that believeth on me
hath
Everlasting life you just have to believe on Jesus you have to put all your trust in Jesus alone
Romans 10 13 says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
So who what's the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you have to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?
In faith you have to believe in him you call upon him you ask him to save you you're saved forever
You can't lose it. You can't even if you killed yourself. You'd still go to heaven
But you know it's not by being willing to turn. It's not by being willing to repent of your sins. It's a bunch of garbage
Billy Graham preaches another gospel, that's why he's in hell today
2nd Corinthians chapter 11 turn over there
2nd Corinthians chapter 11
You know there's many things I could have preached about today
But the thing is I was thinking how often does the most famous false prophet in the world die?
Serious I mean how often does that happen happen this last week, so I thought I can't I can't pass up this opportunity
Opportunity
2nd Corinthians 11 2 says I am jealous
Over you with a godly jealousy for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
But I fear lest by any means as a serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety
So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the gospel look the the gospel should be simple
Little children can understand the gospel. It's not complicated
Jesus Christ came to this earth. He lived a perfect life. He died. He was buried. He resurrected from the dead
You can't save yourself. You're not good enough to save yourself someone had to pay the price for you
Someone else had to redeem you because we're all sinners and we all deserve to go to hell
But God made a way for us to not have to go there
And he sent his son in order to have that accomplished that's pretty easy
It's a free gift. You don't earn gifts. You don't buy gifts
You don't have to keep obeying God to have a gift a gift is something that you get for free
So he says so your mind should be corrupted so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ
For he that cometh preacheth another Jesus
See there's people that preach another Jesus
Whom we have not preached or if you receive another spirit like Pentecostals
That's another spirit
Which you have not received or another gospel, which you have not accepted
See that's what happens is they creep in they start preaching another gospel see, but it's not
completely different
It's a law of truth
Mixed in with just a little dirt right just a little bit of garbage and
That little bit of garbage is enough to not have someone get saved it is
So it says which you have not accepted you might well bear well with him skip down to verse 12
It says but what I do that I will do that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion
See there's wicked men that will creep into churches and they desire just an occasion
They just desire an occasion to bring in false doctrine to mess with the gospel and muddy it up
That wherein they glory they may be found even as we for such are false apostles
deceitful workers
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself is
Transformed into an angel of light see all these religions around the world
They think that they're following a light, but that light is Lucifer
Because all other religions are of the devil, okay
The only one that's right is the one that says that there is no other way to get to the to heaven
But through the Son of God and that and that and that man is Jesus Christ
He's the mediator turn over to 1st Timothy chapter 2 1st Timothy chapter 2
I'm
Gonna finish that last verse though. It says therefore is no great thing that his ministers
Also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness
Whose end shall be according to their work see Satan has his own ministers and his ministers like Billy Graham
Or out preaching a false gospel sending millions of people to hell
I know people that say oh I was I was converted by Billy Graham
So the first thing I think of is that you're not really saved
That's what I think
Because how are you saved by a false prophet the Bible's the Bible doesn't say that so first current 1st Timothy 2
I'm in the wrong Timothy there 1st Timothy 2
Verse
5
The Bible says there is one God and one mediator
Between God and men the man Christ Jesus
There's only one way to get there, and that's that one man. There's only one God
There's only one way to get to get to that God and it's through the man Christ Jesus the man that came and
Did all those things for us that we could go to heaven?
So reason number three moving on reason number three that Billy Graham is roasting and held today is that he's a false
Prophet he's a false prophet so not only is he not saved not only does it preach a false gospel
But he's also a false prophet
Okay, Billy Graham was a very popular preacher to the world everyone seemed to love his preaching including Donald Trump
Who said this in a tweet?
The great Billy Graham is dead there was nobody like him he'll be missed by Christians in all
religions a very special man
How profound by the president?
But but notice that it says by Christians and all religions notice that
So turn over to Luke chapter 6
Luke chapter number 6
Luke 6 verse 26
Luke
6 verse 26 the Bible says woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you
For so did their fathers to the false prophets you see false prophets people are going to speak well of them
People think that they're good people think Billy Graham's good you asked not ten people today
Just go up to ten people say hey, did you think Billy Graham was a good person, and they're all gonna say yes
Unless they're just total you know
Weirdos, but some people just hate everything so
That's the city. We live in right or at least the one across the river
But you know and all the world is mourning Billy Graham though like I said before
They speak well of him. Why do they speak welcome because he is a false prophet
That's why they speak well of him because that's why Jesus said this oh
Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you look if you don't have any enemies in your life and
Everybody thinks you're a great person everybody thinks you're fantastic. Maybe you're a false prophet
Says so for so did their fathers to the false prophets, but you got to have a little bit of salt
Yeah, you got to have you know if you got to be a salty Christian right people use that word salt all their salty
But the thing is is that Jesus said that you have to be salty
You know salt irritates if you ever got salt in your eyes before when you sweat you get salt in your eyes
Right it irritates you it irritates people when you preach the right things to them
They're gonna just naturally be offended because it's the Word of God. It's the right thing. It's the truth
so
Let's see why would all religions miss him
Why did Trump say that that all religions are gonna miss him why not just Christians?
Well there's a there's a word called ecumen ecumenism and
that's the principle or aim of promoting unity among the world's Christian churches and
So it's also
Trying to put promote unity and all the world's religions
So I've seen video clips of Billy Graham sitting up with all these other religious leaders the Dalai Lama
the Greek Orthodox
The you know any Orthodox any Catholics he's just sitting there hanging out with them
So if you're really a Christian, why are you hanging out with all these different religions of the world Buddhist monks?
Whatever it was something. I think it was in the vat at the Vatican where it happened
But Billy Graham was into ecumenism the you know and in
1957 after a crusade in New York some more fundamentalist Protestant Christians criticized Graham for his ecumenism
Even calling him Antichrist so look. It's not a secret that people think that Billy Graham's wicked
I mean I've been hearing about Billy Graham being wicked for a long time
Billy Graham expressed
Inclusivist views suggesting that people without explicit faith in Jesus can be saved
And this is I think this is the most damnable evidence against him
And in 1997 interview with Robert Schuller who's also a false prophet by the way
Graham said I think that everybody that loves or knows Christ whether they are conscious of it or not
They are members of the body of Christ
So even if you don't even realize it
That's look that's what Catholics believe if you my grandma showed me of the catechism book and it says that they believe that anybody
everybody's Catholic whether they realize it or not and
That they still have a chance to be saved because they're gonna be in purgatory
And then they have another chance to get saved after that that's what that's what Roman Catholicism teaches
That's exactly what Billy Graham's teaching right here
So he says God is calling people out of the world for his name
Whether they come from the Muslim world or the Buddhist world or the non-believing world
They're members of the body of Christ because they have been called by God
So he's saying that people that don't believe at all or in the body of Christ. He's saying Muslims and Buddhists
Non-believers are going to heaven. That's what he said
They may not know the name of Jesus
But they know in their hearts that they need something they do not have and they turn to the only light
They have yeah, Satan
And I and he says this I think that they are saved and they're going to be with us in heaven
Well, you know first of all Billy Graham's not saved. He's not in heaven. So all you know, that's just a big fat lie
Not everybody's going to heaven Billy Graham. He realizes that now he knew that when he said it and then that guy
Robert Schuler after he says all this says I'm so glad that you said that Billy, you know
It's it's a you know, God's mercy is a wide
That I think it's something like he said something like it's a wide gate or something like that. No narrow is the way
That's what the Bible says narrow is the way straight is the gate
Turn to Romans 1
Romans 1
So
Billy Graham's saying that anybody that doesn't believe or anybody from another religion is saved. They're gonna be in heaven with us
Okay, Romans 1 says something different than that. So the Bible says something different. What are we gonna go with?
we're gonna go with what the Bible says Romans 1 8 says for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and
Unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because that which may be known of God is
manifest in them for God
Hath showed it unto them
God has given light to every person that's ever born on this planet because God's not a monster
God wants everybody to be saved. He wants everybody to come to the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
He doesn't want anybody but he's not willing that he should perish but that all should come to repentance
That is changing your mind on the world whatever you believe in
Buddhism, you know, whatever you believe to believe in on Christ and being saved
Verse 20 says for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen
being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and
Godhead so what they have lots of excuses. Is that what it says?
They say they have lots of excuses so so that they are without
Excuse so it doesn't matter if they say well, I didn't know about Jesus. They're not there without excuse
Everybody that's why it's so important that we reach this world with the gospel because they are without excuse
There's people everywhere around this world. They're without excuse. We got to reach them. We got to get to them
That's our job that's why Christ left us here it's not so we can do Country Club Baptist Church
It's not so we can play bingo down in the basement every Sunday
It's not so we could go on, you know and do all these fun things. Look I like doing fun things
I think it's great
But the thing is is that we got to reach this world for Christ and I'm I thank God that there's a church of Vancouver
Washington that is still reaching the world with the gospel
Second Peter chapter 2 second Peter chapter 2 I
Hear minimal Bible turning
Second Peter chapter 2 how you learn your Bible if you never turn
Second Peter chapter 2 look at verse 1
But
There were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you who?
Privately shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift
Destruction and many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of
You see Billy Graham
Was friends with the Pope did you know that he's been friends with all the popes that that have been around since he's been around
And you know to many of the American presidents. I read that that little short
You know, there's a picture on the internet of Billy Graham holding Barack Obama's arm like in some kind of weird Masonic
You know pose, you know, I wouldn't even shake Obama's hand. I
Wouldn't even look at him
I wouldn't shake his hand because he's a murderer and he's a and he's a wicked person
And you know Billy Graham's they're holding his hand, you know, it's like hey, we really did a great job together, didn't we?
It's really weird
But the Bible says that there will be false prophets among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you
And they're gonna privately they're gonna privilege bring in these damnable heresies and deny the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift
destruction verse 3 says and and through covetousness
They with feigned words and feigned means pretend
They're just they're just it's a fate
It's fake feigned means fake with feigned words shall make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not and their damnation
slumbereth not
So these people they have they have all different agendas false prophets have different agendas turn over to chapter
Matthew chapter 7 verse 15
Matthew 7 verse 15 so Billy Graham
Pretended to believe in the Lord. He pretended
Well, do you think that Billy Graham doesn't have millions of dollars that he didn't have millions of dollars when he died?
Of course, he did. His son's just as wicked as he is. He's just not as well-known
He believes the same exact thing preaches the same exact garbage
Matthew 7 15 says beware of false prophets which come into you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
They're ravening wolves, so Billy Graham he looked on you know, he had a suit and tie on he looked real nice and sharp
But he looked good on the outside
But on the inside if you could see what he looked like on the inside. He was a ravening wolf
ready to devour I
was listening to
Just like at some YouTube guy last night, but I guess when he came to Portland, Oregon or somewhere
I think was Portland, Oregon
one time
The people there was it fundamental people that were there Baptist churches, you know, because it's like a big ecumenical deal
like he's got Catholics and Mormons and and
and all kinds of people and they have altar call workers from all these different religions that would come and he was
The the fundamentalists that were there the Baptists were there said hey Billy Graham took all the decision cards and gave him to the Catholic Church
That was in the area so all the decision so that so who followed up with those people the Catholic Church
Because Billy Graham was was he was an ecumenical devil
He was a false prophet. He didn't he he didn't like Baptist. He was a Baptist minister that didn't really like Baptist
That's why the Baptist, you know, it was pretty smart of him
Get the Baptist name, but don't and then that's his way to corrupt all the Baptist churches
And what do all the back and what do most Baptist churches preach now? They don't preach the right gospel anymore
They preach repent of your sins. Just like Billy Graham their father and their father the devil
So the Bible says you shall know them by their fruits do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of
Thistles even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit
But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit neither
Can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit? So Billy Graham was a false prophet
Okay, he was a corrupt tree
So look an orange tree is gonna bring forth oranges, right?
Apple tree is gonna bring forth apples
So if if an app if you saw an apple tree and it brought forth, you know sticker bushes
Would you think that that was a right? That was a good tree? No, it's a corrupt tree. There's something wrong with it. So
Whatever, whatever Billy Graham's disciples believe
That they're they're falling after they were brought forth as corrupted seed
Okay, so a corrupt tree can't bring forth good fruit and he's a corrupt tree
Every tree that bringeth forth not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire
The Bible says wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. So by their fruits, what are they preaching?
So I believe that people are gonna tell you what they believe from their mouth
That's why we ask people the door
Are you 100% sure if you were to die today that you go to heaven or would you have some doubts about that?
Okay, and if they say yeah, I know for sure. Well, how do you know for sure?
Well, I'm a good person or I repented of all my sins heavy who's ever heard someone say I repented of all my sins
Okay, so where did they hear that from a corrupt tree and we're sitting there and in our analysis at that point
Is this person's not saved?
And I need to preach the gospel to them. They think they're saved
But they're not because they they've received a false
Gospel
okay, there's
Thousands and thousands of people in this city that believe that junk because of all the false prophets the Bible says on
Matthew 7 22 it says many will say to me that day Lord Lord. Have we not prophesied thy name?
the Billy Graham preach in his name and
In thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works
Then I will profess unto them I never knew you depart from me that work iniquity
Jesus is gonna look at Billy Graham on that day. He's gonna say well, we're not Lord. I've done many wonderful works
He's gonna say get out of here Billy. You're going straight to hell
the lowest hell
So those are the three main reasons why Billy Graham's roasted in hell this morning and he was a wicked false prophet
He preached a false gospel, and he was never saved in the first place the Bible says let him be accursed
Okay, we shouldn't have any
Issues with that preaching if you have issues with that preaching
You know I'll be happy to talk with you after the service and you know see see I want people to be saved
I don't want to be like Billy Graham. I want to preach a clear gospel message. That's very clear to understand
If I ever get up here and preach some weird
Jumbled up garbage that even comes remotely close to preaching works
Yeah, throw me out of here
Maybe you know people make mistakes, but that's not a mistake that a preach a true preacher of the gospel should make
So I understand that sometimes we flub our words like I was listening to a clip that
Brother Robert put up last night, and I said can you get saved by the incorruptible order?
So I I messed up what I was saying because I was saying corruptible incorruptible
And I didn't mean to say that that there's a difference between a flub
And there's a difference between just straight-out preaching you go you must repent come up to the altar brother Matt come up here right now
I know you need to get saved. You know repent of all your sins right here. That's garbage
Jude go back to Jude where we first started. I'm almost done Jude verse 3
It
Says beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you the common salvation
It was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you should earnestly
Contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints
As a Christian and as a preacher
It's our job to defend the common salvation and people get mad about preaching like I'm preaching today
But I'll tell you what we got to defend the gospel tooth and nail
We got to defend the right and common salvation that's in this book right here
That's what we got to defend and if you got a fuck. What does contend mean?
Content means you wrestle with it. Yeah, you know it can it's a strife isn't it you got to contend for the faith?
You can't just let someone come in here and start preaching heresy
That's what brother Ryan and the announcement said you know don't preach heresy in our men's preaching night
If someone comes in here starts preaching some kind of garbage
It's gonna be time out
Too many heresies on the field
20-yard penalty you're going straight to hell. Sorry my football worldly. This is coming
Look I've had to do that before it's not fun
You know it's embarrassing for everybody involved
But what does earnestly mean it means that it's it's serious?
Earnest is to be serious or sincere with an intense conviction, so we got to earnestly contend
It's not just we're just contending just because we want to start fights
It's we're contending for the faith once delivered because it's important
It's serious business to God and otherwise he wouldn't have said it in the Bible in the first place
Contend means to assert something as a position and an argument to struggle with to grapple to fight
And I will fight for the truth of the gospel and and I will always do that
And I'm never gonna let somebody get up here and preach that has some kind of junk in their gospel presentation ever
It's not happening if they're confusing or being confusing at all. They're never getting this pulpit to preach ever
And if I let it you better come and talk to me and say Aaron you said you're never gonna let this happen
And I'll say you're you're right
Beat me no, I'm just kidding
But we're supposed to defend that common salvation we're supposed to fight for the truth of the gospel
Salvation is by faith alone and Christ alone. It's a gift and it's eternal it lasts forever. You can't lose it
Paul defended the gospel in Galatians chapter 2 turn over there with me real quickly
See
Even saved people can get messed up on
Correct things in the gospel. There's influences that can come in and they can they can kind of just you know mess with things
They can put pressure on you to change in a way that you shouldn't
Look at the Galatians chapter 2
This is the Apostle Paul
He said then 14 years after I went up again to Jerusalem it with Barnabas took I and took Titus with me also
And I went up by revelation and communicated unto them that gospel which I preached among the Gentiles
But privately to them which were of reputation lest by any means I should run or had run in vain
but neither
Titus who was with me being a Greek was compelled to be circumcised and that because of false brethren
Unawares brought in who came in
Privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage
So there was people that that believed wrong
They they crept in and they were trying to spy out their liberty and they were trying to bring them into bondage
Like saying you got to do this or you're not really saved that kind of stuff
Verse 5 says to whom we gave place by subjection. No not for an hour
Not for an hour that the truth of the gospel might continue with you
But of these who seem to be somewhat whatsoever they were it maketh no matter to me God accepteth
No, man's persons
Person, excuse me for they who seem to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me
See, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter where you preach doesn't matter how many people you're the pastor of the church
Of if you've got a wrong gospel, then God has no respect of persons for you period
It says but contrar wise verse 7
When they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me as the gospel of the circumcision
was unto Peter for he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
Circumcision the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles and when James
Cephas, that's Peter and John who seemed to be pillars perceived the grace that was given unto me
They gave me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship that we should go into the heathen
and they unto the circumcision only
They would that we should remember the poor the same which I was also forward to
Do so look at this verse 11 says but when Peter was come to Antioch
I was stood him to the face because he was to be blamed
Oh, look at that Peter supposedly the first Pope did something wrong, right?
That just proves right there that the Roman Catholics are a bunch of liars
So but it says but Peter so this is Paul he was stood Peter to the face
Why did he withstand him to the face because he was to be blamed
Why was he to be blamed look at verse 12 it says for before that certain came from James
He did eat with the Gentiles
But when they were come he withdrew and separated himself fearing them that were of the circumcision
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him and so much that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation
So what was happening here false doctrine was being was creeping in and it was on Peter's watch
Okay, Peter the Apostle, you know Peter who loved the Lord. He was a saved guy
There's no doubt about that
but see fear can creep in and false teachers can creep in and
We got to keep this stuff straight and Paul's like no this isn't happening
And it said and notice that it was Paul that rebuked him. Okay when I show you this Paul rebuked him
It's not you know
It should be another guy of the same status as far as being an apostle to rebuke him
I think that was the right thing to be done
It says but when I saw that they walk not in verse 14
When I saw that they walk not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel
I said unto Peter before them all if thou being a Jew
Livest out as the manner of the Gentiles and not as the Jews why compelest out of the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Who we who are Jews by nature are not sinners of the Gentiles knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
Law but by the faith of Jesus Christ and we have believed in Jesus Christ
So we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law
For by the works of the law shall know flesh be justified
Period and so Paul rebuked him why because they were trying to there were there was works creeping in
That's why saying you have to keep the law or you didn't really get saved, right?
There should be a change or you didn't really get saved
You they should come to church and get baptized that first day or they didn't really get saved. That's garbage. That's muddying up the gospel
Okay
Jude said in in verse 4
For there are certain men crept in our wares who were before of old ordained to this condemnation
Ungodly men
Turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ
That you know that verse kind of baffled me before and maybe I'm just a little slow
But that verse baffled me and I'll show you what the part where it says
Deny and denying the only Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ
So these people, you know, but but then it says many people
Prophesied Lord have I prophesied in your name
But then it says here it says turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ
So I used to think well if they're not denying the Lord then then maybe they're okay. Maybe they're just mixed up
But here's the thing. What Lord are they talking about?
What Jesus are they talking about?
so
Because many that say that they believe in Jesus they still trust in their own good works, don't they?
You know and like I said, maybe I'm slow, but I finally realized what this means
You see you can say you believe in Jesus
But if you trust in your work somehow
You think you have some part in your own salvation like I got to keep obeying the Bible or I'm not saved
I have to repent of my sins every time I do a sin
Then you've denied Christ because that's not the Christ that's preached in the Bible
Because the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
It's a once you receive it. It's yours
it's a free gift and so then if you think that you obey in the Bible somehow or
Repenting of your sins afterward keeps you saved then that's not the Jesus you've denied the Lord you've denied the Lord Jesus of the Bible
Billy Graham preaches a works-based salvation he preached the workspace salvation now. He's in hell excuse me. He was very smooth, but
If he preaches if he preached Jesus plus repentance of your sins
Jesus plus lordship salvation
Jesus plus you have to take up the cross and follow him or you're not really saved
That's not the faith that was once delivered by the Saints
And that's why I'm preaching the sermon today because look we can't let it in
With this church. I'm not letting it in here
I'm gonna be the gatekeeper here, and I'm not letting that garbage into our church no matter who it is
I don't care who it is. I'm not gonna respect that person
okay, so
But anyway, I got a lot more here to do but
I'm gonna. I'm gonna end with this that you know the Bible is very clear about what happens to false prophets
They go to hell
That's what the book of Jude is spelling out for us is that these filthy dreamers they have before ordained
To this condemnation. They're going to hell
You know and once you know Billy Graham lived 99 years, how many people did he corrupt with his false gospel?
Millions it said didn't say he millions accepted his invitation to receive Jesus as their person or Lord and Savior
I hate when people say that
Because that's not what the Bible says you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and now shall be saved
That's what the Bible says so let's have a word of prayer Heavenly Father. We thank you Lord for
the scriptures Lord and we know that
There's many false prophets are gonna come Lord one of the biggest ones just died and what the hell
And I'm thankful for that and that might sound weird to people
But it's just the truth is in your word Lord, and we just ask that you bless everybody well
There's so many things so much turmoil going on in some people's lives right now
Especially pray for Stephanie and her family Lord
And I pray for CJ's grandparents Lord who lost their home of many years
And or just a lot of things going on
And I just pray that you comfort those people and that you'd help them Lord lift them up in Jesus name Amen
