All right, we're here in Matthew 7, and we're just going verse by verse through the book of Matthew.
Verse by verse through the book of Matthew.
And when you're going through the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7, verse 6, it just kind of stands out.
And probably the first time you read it, you're probably like, what is this talking about?
The Bible says in Matthew 7, verse 6,
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet,
and turn again and rend you.
This is essentially kind of a standalone verse here in Matthew 7.
So it's kind of like its own sermon.
We're only looking at this one verse as our main text before we look at other places in the Bible.
Now, what he's literally saying here in Matthew 7, verse 6,
he talks about dogs and he talks about swine.
He's talking about animals.
And when he's saying, give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
what he's saying is this.
Don't buy your dog a filet mignon steak.
Don't buy your dog really expensive food
and just like, oh, I love my dog so much,
I've got to treat my dog to a restaurant that took me like months to save up for, right?
Don't give what's nice to the dogs.
Give them the leftovers because dogs eat whatever you give them.
Give them the leftover scraps.
I mean, the same thing with swine, probably even more so with swine.
Literally, I mean, as we say, they eat the slop.
They eat whatever.
So, look, I'm not saying it's wrong to have a dog or a pig,
but let me give you some advice.
Don't give your expensive food to the dog.
I mean, if you've got leftover Minute Burger, give it to the dog.
If you've got leftover Italianis, eat it yourself, okay?
That's my advice.
That's what he's literally saying here in this verse,
and he says, if you do that, it says,
lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you.
We're going to talk about that again here in a second,
but go to Matthew chapter 15 real quickly.
Matthew 15.
Matthew chapter 15.
Let me just give you one verse with dogs and one verse with swine just to show you.
And a swine's referring to a pig, in case you're not familiar with that term.
So a swine is a pig, so dogs and pigs.
Here's what it says in Matthew 15, verse 26.
But he answered and said,
It is not meat to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table.
I mean, isn't this true with dogs?
I had a dog growing up, and what does that dog do?
They sit underneath the table the entire time just waiting for anything to fall to the ground.
It doesn't matter what it is.
They will eat it up, right?
Go to Luke chapter 15.
Luke 15.
Luke chapter 15, verse 14.
And this is the story of the prodigal son,
and it says here, when he's in his time of just hitting rock bottom here,
Luke 15, verse 14.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land, and he began to be in one.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country,
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat,
and no man gave unto him.
I mean, this man gets so desperate that he is willing to eat even what the swine and the pigs eat.
Look, that's pretty disgusting, because usually what's fed to pigs is some pretty gross garbage,
I guess you could call it food, right?
It's not something that any of us would want to eat,
but he's so desperate, he's willing to eat what the swine do,
because those are two specific animals.
They will eat whatever there is.
They are not picky or choosy at all.
Now, go to Matthew 13 real quickly.
Matthew 13.
Remember what it said,
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine.
And when you're thinking of holy, you're thinking of righteous and godly,
and then you see the word pearl.
And it says here in Matthew 13, verse 45,
Again the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls,
who when he had found one pearl of great price,
went and sold all that he had and bought it.
So a pearl is something that is extremely valuable, right?
It's something that has real value.
It's something that has money.
It's something that has worth.
The holy or pearl in this story is something with real value,
something that is precious,
something that is dear.
The Bible is saying,
Hey, don't give what's holy to the dogs or the pigs.
Don't give the pearls or something with real value to the dogs or the pigs.
Now, to really understand what he's talking about,
because you really think that he just stops the Sermon on the Mount to just say,
By the way, don't feed your dog expensive food.
Don't feed your pig expensive food.
Is there really a purpose to kind of bring that up?
I mean, is that really worth bringing up in the greatest sermon ever?
Probably not.
So what exactly is he referring to in this verse?
Go to Deuteronomy 23.
Deuteronomy chapter 23.
And let me show you what symbolically a dog is in the Word of God.
Deuteronomy chapter 23, verse 17.
And the Bible says in Deuteronomy chapter 23, verse 17,
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel,
nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
So the Bible mentions here with the women, it says,
No whore of the daughters of Israel.
What it's referring to is in the local church,
because in the local church there is a standard
where if you have grievous and wicked sins,
you're not actually even welcome in the local church.
Now, of course, all of us are sinners,
but very few people have such major sins in their life
where they would be restricted from the local church, right?
One example, it says, No whore of the daughters of Israel.
And although it keys in on a woman,
because when it comes to people that are prostitutes,
most are women because the guys are the ones that are lustful
that are willing to pay for it.
But, of course, the same would be true for a guy that was a whore,
or a guy that was a prostitute.
The same thing would apply.
Then it says, this is the second half of the verse,
Nor a Sodomite of the sons of Israel.
And so the Bible refers to a Sodomite.
You say, what is that referring to?
Well, the term Sodomite comes from Genesis 19
with Sodom and Gomorrah.
And, of course, what is Sodom and Gomorrah known for?
Being destroyed by God because of homosexuality,
because of the LGBT.
What a Sodomite is is a homosexual.
That's where it gets the term from, Sodom and Gomorrah.
By the way, on a side point,
they've actually discovered that story is true
from archaeological evidence in more recent times.
And, of course, that's a story people would like to scoff at,
and yet they're like,
well, it seems like we have the evidence for Genesis 19.
And it's like, well, yeah,
you know the Bible always proves itself to be true.
Then it says here in verse 18,
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore,
or the price of a dog,
in the house of the Lord thy God for any vow,
for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
So in verse 17 it mentions
a whore of the daughters of Israel
and a Sodomite of the sons of Israel.
The next verse, at the first part of verse 18,
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore.
Do you see how Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore
correlates to the first part of verse 17?
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel.
Whore, whore.
By the way, it's a Bible word.
I'm just reading the word of God.
But the second half of verse 17 says,
Nor a Sodomite of the sons of Israel.
And what does that correlate to in verse 18?
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore,
or the price of a dog.
And see, what the Bible compares a Sodomite to is a dog.
You say, well, why does the Bible use the term dog
for a male homosexual?
Because once again, this is of the sons of Israel,
not of the daughters of Israel.
Why does the Bible use a dog to compare it to a male homosexual?
Why? Because dogs have many attributes
that are similar to vise pongi.
That's why.
Now look, if you have a dog at home, that's fine.
I'm not against you.
I had a dog growing up.
I loved my dog.
And look, if that dog was around today,
I would probably love my dog.
You know, but here's what I would say.
What I would recommend that you do is,
you know what, animals are wild animals,
whether they're domesticated or not.
Make sure you have an animal that if it turns on you,
you're big enough and strong enough
that you don't have to worry about it taking you out,
unless you have like a guard dog that you're keeping outside.
But if you've got a house pet,
don't have a dog that is like twice your size.
Because if it does turn on you, it's like,
well, you're in trouble.
Right?
Our dog was, you know, a little mutt.
Right?
It was like seven kilograms, eight kilograms.
So it's like it would be afraid to turn on us
because it was so small growing up.
Right?
But it compares a dog to a male homosexual
because there's many similar attributes.
Right?
And go to 2 Peter chapter 2.
2 Peter 2.
And one of the obvious similar examples
is think about when dogs get in heat.
They are disgusting creatures when they get in heat.
Right.
You say, wow, you know, how is that the same as a homosexual?
Because the average male homosexual has a thousand partners
in their lifetime.
Right.
That's disgusting.
That's filthy.
I would think that's disgusting
if a man had a thousand female partners in his life.
Right.
I mean, a thousand partners, you've got to be kidding me.
And of course, you know, dogs are very filthy
and unclean animals.
And the Bible speaks about the wicked shall not live out
half their days because oftentimes their own sin
ends up just cursing them.
They end up dying at a young age
because of their filthiness.
So Bob mentions a dog,
and it mentions a male homosexual.
And you say, wow, you know, why are you preaching the sermon?
We're going verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.
Right.
This is what Jesus is talking about
in the world's most famous sermon.
Right.
2 Peter 2, verse 22, and it says this,
But as happened on them according to the true proverb,
the dog is turned to his own vomit again,
his, the sons of Israel,
and the sow that was washed to her,
wallowing in the mire.
What is a sow?
A sow is a female pig that has given birth to piglets before.
And so when we're talking about a sow,
we're talking about a female pig.
So what are we seeing?
Well, the word for a male homosexual in the Bible is what?
A dog.
That is very obvious in Deuteronomy 23.
What is not quite as clear,
but you can see in this verse,
is that the word for a female homosexual in the Bible
is a sow or a female pig.
You say why?
Because there's many similar attributes
between female pigs and lesbians or tomboys.
I mean, you can just look at the picture
in the front of our bulletin.
This is a disgusting animal.
Pigs are pretty filthy animals.
They're pretty disgusting animals.
Right?
Anyway, that's what the Bible's describing as the LGBT.
And look, I'm not the one who wrote the Bible.
This is God's description of the LGBT.
And I would say this with any sermon I ever preach.
Regardless of what I preach,
you search the Scriptures in your free time
to see whether those things are so.
I mean, everybody should go home
if you're not familiar with this
or you think I'm too extreme,
and read Genesis 19 and Judges 19.
And if you walk away and say,
I'm a hate preacher, then you know what?
I think that you're listening to the audio Bible
while you're in another room.
And so it finished, but you weren't actually there.
I would recommend everybody read it with an open mind
and you decide what it says.
Because if you're saved
and you've got the Holy Spirit of God inside of you,
you know who is a better teacher than me?
The Holy Spirit of truth.
And the Holy Spirit of truth can guide you and teach you,
but you must be willing to have an open mind
to what the word of God says.
Go in your Bible back to Matthew 7.
Matthew 7.
Now, I'll be completely honest with you.
This is not really my favorite topic to preach on.
Now, today we're going verse by verse
through the book of Matthew.
I don't avoid anything in the word of God.
This is what comes up.
I preach on it.
It's exactly the topic that is coming up here
in Matthew 7.
Why do you always preach against the LGBT?
Jesus never did.
Did you read the Sermon on the Mount?
You obviously didn't understand Matthew 7, verse 6.
This is exactly what he's talking about.
But you say, well, why do you preach on it a lot?
Because it's a major issue in our country.
I mean, if we lived in a country
where there is very few LGBT, you know what?
I would very rarely preach on the subject.
But it's a real issue.
You can't drive anywhere without seeing a billboard
of Vice Pong eat everywhere.
I mean, if you don't have like a YouTube block
or something that stops the commercials,
isn't like every commercial that pops up
some sort of cross dresser?
That's not normal.
And here's the thing.
You might be brainwashed,
but you know that doesn't feel normal.
It feels weird.
You think, man, as a guy,
why are other guys wearing dresses?
Yeah, you're right.
It's not normal.
It doesn't matter how common it is.
That's not normal.
It's weird.
It's bizarre.
But that's the country that we live in.
The LGBT is a big issue in this country.
We are one of the most progressive countries
when it comes to the LGBT.
And other than Taiwan and Thailand,
we're probably number three in Asia
of being the most pro-LGBT.
Believe it or not,
Taiwan's actually considered number one above Thailand.
But I don't think the Philippines is that far behind.
And considering we're the Christian country,
what an embarrassment.
Point number one,
why is it you don't give that
which is holding onto the dogs
or cast your pearls before swine?
Because they can't receive it.
They can't receive it.
Notice what it says in Matthew 7 verse 6.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet
and turn again and rend you.
What it's literally saying
is that you go to feed a dog,
and the dog rejects what you're giving
and gets mad and rends or tears you,
attacks you.
The pig sees what you're trying to give,
and the pig gets mad and just attacks you.
That's what it's saying.
You feed the animal,
and the animal rejects what you're giving.
I mean, I didn't grow up on a farm,
but I'd say,
especially as I preached a sermon several months ago
on pigs,
and I saw videos,
it's like, man,
if I was feeding a pig,
I would just like throw the item
for like 20 feet away
because they are very scary
and vicious animals when they get hungry.
And the Bible is saying
they might reject what you give
and turn again and attack you.
Even though you say,
but this is my dog
that has been my best friend for all these years.
I saw a video on our drive up here
to Manila here today.
You have all those Facebook videos,
and there's this guy
that is friends with lions,
and I guess he had been gone for a couple of weeks,
and he hugs his lion
that's like five times his size.
It's like, are you insane?
Have you not seen all these videos
where this grizzly bear
is my best friend for 10 years,
and then all of a sudden
it attacks you and kills you.
It's like, are you insane?
You're going to be like, what are you doing?
Go to Genesis 19.
Genesis 19.
Genesis chapter 19.
So in the Bible,
we have two very clear stories
about the LGBT,
and Genesis 19 and Judges 19.
And people debate about Genesis 9.
We're going to look at Genesis 19,
and Judges 19.
Two very clear stories,
clearly about the LGBT.
Nobody can dispute it at all,
and so you form your opinion
about the LGBT based on what the Bible says.
Isn't that what you should do?
That's what we all should do.
Well, let's see what the Bible tries to tell us
in Genesis 19 about the LGBT.
Genesis 19, verse 5.
And they called on the lot and said unto them,
Where are the men which came into thee this night?
Bring them out unto us that we may know them.
Now look, when the Bible says know them,
it's called a euphemism.
It's called an expression to represent something else
because God's not trying to be too graphic.
It's not saying,
hey, we want to shake hands
with the men that came to town and say hello.
Right, they came to town, you know,
like in the U.S. when you have new neighbors,
you bring over cookies or something like that,
or Christmas time you exchange cookies,
at least where I'm from,
it's kind of just anything you do out in the country
to be friendly or nice or whatever.
That's not what they're doing.
When they say they want to know them,
they have something else in mind that is perverted.
This is where you get the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
This is Sodom and Gomorrah.
This is where you get the phrase sodomite.
And Lot went out of the door unto them
and shut the door after them and said,
I pray you, brethren, or I ask you, brethren,
do not so wickedly.
So Lot shuts the door,
and he's right here in front of this big crowd
of male homosexuals, the LGBT.
And he says, don't do this wicked thing.
Verse 8.
Behold now, I have two daughters,
which have not known man.
Let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you,
and do ye to them as is good in your eyes,
only unto these men do nothing,
for therefore it came they under the shadow of my roof.
Look, Genesis 19, verse 8 is a verse
I don't think I'd believe if the Bible didn't say it.
I mean, a guy literally offered his daughters...
Now let me say this.
I think Lot is just lying
when he says his daughters have not known a man.
When you see what takes place later on in the chapter,
they clearly have known men before.
He wouldn't do something so perverted.
But it's possible Lot is just an idiot
and extremely naive as a parent.
I doubt that.
I think he's just lying to try to get out of the situation.
But he says, here's my daughters.
You want to defile and attack sexually these men?
Do whatever you want with my daughters.
Now, look, I'm a father with a young daughter
that's four years old.
It's like, what is wrong with this father?
Like, seriously, what's wrong with you?
I mean, if somebody tried to mess with my daughter,
it's like, you know what, you're going to get a pounding.
And then he offers his daughter
to try to appease these homosexuals.
So what is he doing?
He's offering that which is holy unto the dogs.
Right?
That's exactly what he's doing.
And they said, stand back.
And they said again, this one fellow came into sojourn
and he will need to be a judge.
Now we deal worse with thee than with them.
And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot,
and came near to break the door.
The only thing I can think of worse
is they would actually kill Lot afterwards.
That's all I can think of that would be worse.
But what do we see?
Lot offers that which is holy unto the dogs.
And what happens?
The dogs reject it, and then they're turning again,
trying to rend you.
Isn't that exactly what we see in Genesis 19?
Isn't that exactly what we see in Matthew 7, verse 6?
That is exactly what's taking place.
He's giving that which is holy unto the dogs.
Here's my daughters.
And they reject it.
And they said, we're going to deal worse with you
than we're going to with those men.
Well, that's only one story.
Well, how many stories do you need
to be scared of these people?
Judges 19, let me show you the other story in the Bible.
I mean, we got two stories.
And look, I encourage you, I don't have time
to go verse by verse through Genesis 19.
Look, if you're saved, read Genesis 19 in your free time
and come to your own conclusion.
You will not come to a different conclusion
than what I'm preaching here today
unless you just don't want to believe what the Bible says.
But they're so funny.
They're so nice.
I mean, Weisspong is so funny.
How many times has Weisspong gotten in trouble
because he made some inappropriate rape joke
or something like that?
Oh, I was just kidding.
That doesn't come into a normal person's mind.
Most people don't make jokes like that.
But if your mind and conscience is defiled,
you don't understand what's appropriate,
then when people get really mad,
oh, I was just joking.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Well, most people wouldn't joke about something
so serious, you idiot.
But he's been on the news several times for that
that I've seen.
And of course, what does the media do?
Well, it's on the news.
Then they kind of brush it aside
because they don't want you to realize that.
I've seen it pop on the news many times
of him making inappropriate jokes
that none of us would ever even think of.
But that's because our mind and conscience
is not defiled, as the Bible says,
like Weisspong.
Judges 19.
Judges 19, verse 22.
Now as they were making their hearts merry,
behold, the men of the city,
certain sons of Bela,
which means a son of Bela or a son of the devil,
beset the house round about
and beat at the door
and spake to the master of the house
the old man, saying,
Bring forth the man that came into thine house
that we may know him.
Now look, when it's nighttime
and somebody's banging on your door,
you know what the first reaction is?
A bit of fear.
Like, why is someone banging at my door
at 10 o'clock at night?
I don't like answering the door
late at night.
It's like, why is someone knocking at my door
late at night?
You never know what can take place.
But they bang on the door.
They said, Bring out that man.
And the man, the master of the house,
went out onto them.
So he does the same thing as Lot.
Basically, he goes out
and he talks to these male homosexuals,
these dogs,
and said unto them,
Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you,
do not so wickedly,
saying that this man has come into mine house.
Do not this folly.
Don't do something wicked.
Behold,
here is my daughter,
a maiden.
What is wrong with these parents?
Like, okay, let me help you out, man.
Being a father 101.
Don't offer your daughters to wolves, right?
You don't really have to be a father for long.
I don't understand
because there's a natural affection
you have toward your daughter
to protect her.
And of course to your sons also,
but especially to your daughter,
I don't understand
just how they degrade women
in these stories.
Like, what is wrong with them?
I mean, that's just, I guess,
the way society looked at women.
You know, that's ridiculous.
He's like, here's my daughter
and his concubine.
Them I will bring out now
and humble ye them.
Humble ye them?
That's an interesting choice of words.
And do with them
what seemeth good unto you,
but unto this man
do not so vile a thing.
But the man would not
hearken to him.
What took place?
He offered that which is holy on the dogs.
And what takes place?
They reject it.
Same thing.
They reject it.
And as you go on with the story,
so the man took his concubine
and brought her forth unto him.
So they reject it.
They're coming after this guy
and the guy basically
just throws out the concubine,
shuts the door,
deadbolts it,
puts like a chair behind it,
pulls out his gun
or weapons or whatever, right?
And they knew her
and abused her all the night
until the morning.
And when the day began to spring,
they let her go.
And if you go on with the story,
this woman was murdered
by these male homosexuals.
They abused her and killed her.
By the way, it's pretty similar
to a story that happened
in the Philippines
just, what, two and a half years ago
or something like that?
I mean, it's all in the news.
It's just like, I mean,
people are,
and what's the defense?
Well, I mean,
of course it wasn't the homos
because they're not interested in women.
And then they get off as innocent.
I'm just like,
what is wrong with people?
I mean, literally,
the Bible shows you
this exact story.
It's like you want to scream
at the news,
Judges 19, Judges 19.
Man, I wish I had run in that courtroom
and just yelled,
Judges 19, Judges 19,
and then hopefully someone would read it.
The judge would read it
and say, whoa, wait a minute.
This is like what's going on
in this situation.
And it's exactly the same situation
from a couple years ago
here in the Philippines.
So don't say this doesn't take place
in 2024.
Turn your Bible to John 12.
John 12.
So what's the Bible really,
literally trying to say
in Matthew 7?
Here, let me give you some advice.
Don't try to appease the LGBT.
Don't try to placate the LGBT.
Why?
They're implacable.
They cannot be placated
is what the Bible's saying
in Romans 1.
I mean, you say,
well, I mean,
if we just give them this,
then they'll calm down,
and then they reject it
and turn again and rend you.
Nope, didn't work, did it?
They cannot be placated.
They wanted to file this world.
They wanted to file our children.
You say, well,
I think that's too extreme.
Well, apparently,
the last verse in Romans 1.
Because not only do they
take pleasure in them,
not only do they take pleasure
in doing those things,
they take pleasure in them
that do them also.
They wanted to file this world,
and they are literally
coming after your children.
Right.
Look, I've got three young children.
I've got to be
very careful with my kids.
And literally,
I don't understand
how dumb people are
or just brainwashed
on this topic.
I mean, literally,
in the United States,
they had this San Francisco
gay choir.
They literally wrote a song
about molesting kids.
And when people were
very upset about that,
they're like,
can't you take a joke?
Who jokes about
something like that?
What are you talking about?
Or there's a basketball player.
You know, Tim Hardaway,
like 15 years ago,
who remembers that story?
Tim Hardaway,
the basketball player.
They asked him, you know,
like, how would you feel
about having a gay teammate?
He's like, man,
I wouldn't want it.
I'd tell them to trade him
or I'd ask them
to be traded myself.
He's like, I don't want to.
He's like, don't you realize
that that's bigotry
and homophobe?
He's like, well,
I don't care.
I hate gay people.
And he gets fired
from all of his sports deals
and everything like that
because of what he said
about the LGBT.
Then you've got
the big celebrity in the US,
the guy who played
on Star Trek, Sulu,
that Asian LGBT guy
that's one of the big
LGBT guys in the US.
And he wrote a song
talking about molesting
Tim Hardaway,
and everyone's laughing.
They think it's funny.
He's not joking.
And then people say,
can't you take a joke?
Who makes jokes like that?
Like, what is wrong
with people?
Look, I like to joke.
I like to have fun.
Guess what?
I don't make perverted,
sick, disgusting jokes like that.
How is that funny?
And I think some people
have been watching
way too much TV
where their minds
are already getting defiled
by all the garbage
that you watch
or desensitized
and stuff like that.
I'm sorry.
Jokes about raping people
are not funny.
I don't understand
how anyone could
find that funny,
but people think
these things are hilarious.
You're brainwashed.
That's the truth.
Now, here's the thing.
We expect this
from the world,
but then you've got
the Christians
that act just like the world
and say, well,
we ought to accept them,
give it a chance,
and then they take it
to another level.
We just got to try
to get them saved.
And it's just like,
yeah, I mean, okay.
If you were a lot
in Genesis 19,
you shut the door.
Let me ask you.
Do you know for sure
you're going to heaven?
Do you realize for all
of sin it comes short
of the glory of God?
All of us.
Not just you.
I've also sinned.
I don't even know
what to say to people
like that.
Are you kidding me?
Is that really what
would have worked
in Genesis 19
or Judges 19?
Oh, they would have
killed you immediately
if you beat the word of God.
Right.
I don't want you
to get the wrong idea
because let me be clear
to you.
Jesus Christ died
for the sins
of the whole world.
He died for every
single person,
and he died for the sins
both before and after
salvation for all of us,
but also he died
for the sins
for every reprobate
and wicked person
in the world.
He took the penalty
upon himself for everybody.
He died for the sins
of the whole world,
and it says here
in John chapter 12
in verse 32,
and I,
I be lifted up
from the earth
will draw all men
onto me.
This he said signifying
what death he should die.
So Jesus is saying
if I get lifted up,
if I die on the cross,
I'm going to draw
all men onto me.
Of course the Bible
says earlier in John
that no one
can come on to God.
No one can come on
to Christ except
the father of sin
and draw him.
Right.
The Bible says that
we have to be drawn
onto Christ to be saved,
and of course
Jesus says that
he died for everybody's
sin, not on him.
But then why did the Bible
also say that you can't
come to God
unless you're drawn?
The implication would be,
well, wait a minute.
Even though he's
going to draw everybody,
there's also a stipulation
where you're not
being drawn.
You say, well,
how do I reconcile this?
Well, it's in John 12.
Look at verse number 37.
But though he had done
so many miracles
before them,
yet they believed
not on him,
that the saying
of Isaiah the prophet
might be fulfilled
which he spake,
Lord, who hath believed
our report,
and to whom at the arm
they could not believe.
It does not say
they did not believe.
It says they could not believe.
There are people in this world
that are walking dead men
and walking dead women.
They're basically like zombies.
They're half alive
and half already in
the lake of fire.
I mean, they're alive.
They're not going to heaven.
They can't believe.
You say, well,
what if they did believe?
They can't believe.
Yeah, everybody that believes
will receive everlasting life.
But there's some people,
a small segment of people
that cannot believe.
Even though that he's
going to draw everybody
onto him, it doesn't mean
that's permanent
no matter what you do.
You say, well,
I don't know about that.
Well, let me ask you
a question.
Should you try to give
the Antichrist the gospel
during the end times?
Because, I mean,
he's a man just like us.
I mean, why can't he get saved?
Because he can't believe.
He's already rejected
salvation very clearly.
I mean, you know what
Judas Iscariot needed?
He just needed someone
to come and show him
some love after he betrayed
Jesus and give him the gospel.
I mean, he heard the gospel.
He was preaching the gospel
for three years,
and he didn't believe it.
I was clear he was
a devil from the beginning,
says earlier in John.
But here's the thing.
It's like he heard
the gospel for three years.
Do you really think,
after having heard the gospel
a thousand times
and preaching the gospel
a thousand times,
that on the thousand
and first time
when you give him the gospel,
man, I never realized
it was by faith alone.
Do you realize
how ridiculous that is?
There are people
that cannot believe.
This is what the Bible says.
Go to Jude chapter 1.
Jude 1.
Now, I know whenever
you bring up this topic,
because we always have
a lot of new people at church,
a lot of visitors,
and I'll be honest.
The first time I heard
somebody preach like this
about the LGBT,
I've never liked the LGBT
because I'm a normal,
red-blooded guy,
and any man especially
feels this way.
It's like, yeah,
we don't like being
around these people.
They're weird.
I thought it was a little bit
extreme, to be honest,
and then when I saw
what the Bible said,
it was like,
you know what?
I'm wrong.
I'm wrong,
and the word of God
is right.
Obviously, these people
are a lot worse
than what I've heard on TV.
They're not just weird.
They're actually
dangerous people.
I remember,
I talked to my wife
about this
before we were married,
and I explained to my wife
about the reprobate doctrine.
I showed her
everything the Bible said,
and this is a tough thing
to begin the first time
you hear it.
I remember,
my wife,
my wife told me this story,
and any of the ladies
at the room,
you can ask my wife
after the service.
She'll tell you
that this is true,
that she was here
in the Philippines.
She was in Pampanga,
and then it was like
not so crowded on the gypney,
and there was
these two homosexuals,
and this little kid
came in,
this little boy,
and then the homosexuals
started talking to this
little boy,
and then they said
once he left,
oh, this kid
is going to be easy.
All we have to do
is ask him.
And my wife called me,
and she was shocked.
She's like,
you won't believe
what took place.
And then she explained,
I was like,
well, I'm not surprised.
I've been telling you this.
But sometimes you've got
to actually,
unfortunately,
see it,
and then you realize it.
It's like,
man, I cannot believe
these people
are that wicked.
But that's actually
the truth.
This is what
the Bible teaches.
The Bible's clear.
They cannot believe.
I'm not going to,
you say,
what do you do
if you talk to someone?
You're talking to just
one person,
not a group,
one person.
They tell you
that they're part
of the LGBT.
I just move on
to the next conversation.
I don't give that
which is holy on the dogs,
neither do I cast my
pearls before swine
if I'm talking
to a tomboy.
Jude 1, verse 4.
For there are certain men
crept in unawares
who before of old
ordained to this
condemnation.
Ungodly men
turned the grace
of our God
into lasciviousness
in denying the only
Lord God
for put you in remembrance
though ye once knew this
how that the Lord
having saved the people
out of the land of Egypt
afterward destroyed them
that believe not.
And the angels
which kept not
their first estate
but left their own habitation
he hath reserved
in everlasting chains
under darkness
under the judgment
of the great day.
Now when it comes
to the angels,
basically one-third
of the angels
went with the devil
and rejected God
and two-thirds
stayed on the right path.
Now here's the thing.
We as people
are saved by grace
through faith
based on what we believe.
The one-third
that went with the devil
basically by their works
they were condemned
and they essentially
became what would be
say like reprobates
or basically like
they're never going to
have a chance
to go back to heaven.
I mean they're going
to be thrown
into the lake of fire.
Now of course
the devils are around
this earth today.
They possess people today
but they have no chance.
And the Bible
is using them
as an example.
What the Bible says here
in verse number six
is that they're reserved
in everlasting chains.
Now here's the thing.
When you were
to go to a nice restaurant
to propose to your girlfriend
or whatever,
you call up to make
a reservation
because a popular restaurant
there might not be
a spot available.
And you call up
basically saying that
hey, on Monday at 6 p.m.
we're going to be there.
You make a reservation,
a spot.
Well the Bible's saying
these angels
they have a reservation
in the lake of fire.
And you say
but pastor,
if you make a reservation
you can cancel
that reservation, huh?
Here's the thing.
The angels aren't the one
that made the reservation
for the lake of fire.
God did.
God's not canceling
that reservation.
God's like
hey, I got a reservation
for the one third
of the angels that rejected me.
They will be going
to the lake of fire.
I just want to let you know
Michael, you know,
just later on
you're going to be casting
many of them
into the lake of fire.
You say
what does that have to do
with the LGBT?
The next verse.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah
and the cities about them
and like men
are giving themselves
over to fornication
and going after strange flesh
are set forth for an example
suffering the vengeance
of eternal fire.
It is the same way
with the Sodomites,
the homosexuals,
as the angels
that rejected God.
Now are they in hell
right now?
Nope.
But guess what?
They got a reservation.
And since God's the one
that made the reservation
and God does not
cancel that reservation,
they have no hope.
They cannot believe.
That's what the Bible teaches.
That's how a reservation works.
And they didn't make
the reservation.
God made the reservation.
And God's not going
to cancel that reservation.
They are doomed
for all eternity.
They will split hell
wide open one day.
Go in your Bible
to 1 Timothy 4.
1 Timothy 4.
I can't believe you're
preaching on the LGBT.
We're just going
verse by verse
through the Sermon on the Mount.
Maybe you've heard
of that sermon before.
It's known as the most famous
and greatest sermon
ever preached.
Well, I mean,
Jesus never preached
on the LGBT.
It's in the Sermon
on the Mount.
Give not that which
is holy unto the dogs.
You say, well,
why does he only mention
one verse?
Because the LGBT wasn't
that big of an issue
2,000 years ago.
We literally live in a day.
It's like a plague
that destroys society.
And you know what
the only hope is
for fixing that?
Fire and brimstone
raining down
from heaven destroying.
Wow, I mean,
that's Genesis 19.
Show me something
other than that.
Well, how about in
the first century AD
when the same thing
happened to Pompeii?
God doesn't change.
I'm the Lord.
I change not, the Bible says.
Bible says in 1 Timothy 4,
verse 2,
speaking lies in hypocrisy,
having their conscience
seared with a hot iron.
There are people
that lose their conscience.
Now, here's the thing.
All of us are sinners,
and all of us have
many temptations to do wrong.
And sometimes we give
into temptations.
And when we give
into temptations,
what takes place?
We have a feeling
of guilt that comes
across us.
They don't have that.
When you become
a child of the devil,
a son of Belial,
a reprobate,
your conscience is
seared with a hot iron,
meaning anything they do,
they do not feel guilty for.
That's a pretty scary thing
because I'll tell you this,
raising three kids
aged six, four,
and about to turn
two years old,
you know what?
Even my son Ezra
that is not yet two years old,
he knows the difference
between right and wrong.
I've said before in sermons,
and I believe this
because the reason
why you discipline
and spank children
is when they disobey.
And you know what?
My kids have been
smart enough by the age
of one year old,
and I mean 12 months,
to understand the difference
between right and wrong.
Well, they know
what you're saying.
They know what's right,
and they choose to disobey.
Kids understand
at a young age
right and wrong.
They know it's wrong
to disobey.
Just like we still do wrong.
But they have that conscience
that you can see
as a parent at a young age.
Sometimes, you know,
you tell your kids,
it's like, don't do that,
and they'll look at you,
and it's like,
they're tempted.
Should I obey?
Is it worth the risk?
They understand
at a young age.
It's pretty scary, though,
someone who doesn't feel bad
about anything they ever do.
They're just gonna do
worse and worse and worse and worse.
Go to 2 Peter 2.
2 Peter 2.
By the way,
if you don't like
what the Bible says,
let me just say this,
that this is actually
what the secular world teaches
about psychopaths as well.
They're like,
there's people without a conscience.
We don't understand
why they don't have a conscience.
Well, the Bible tells us
why they don't have a conscience.
It's not because
they're born that way,
because the world is wrong
when they teach psychopaths
or psychopaths at birth.
That is not true.
Everybody is born
with a conscience,
but some people
can lose that conscience,
because they know very well
there are people
without a conscience.
You cannot tell me,
people that are serial killers
and the most wicked
depraved people on the planet,
you cannot tell me
that that's normal,
that they go to bed
with a guilty conscience
every night,
they just can't help themselves
but kill people.
That's ridiculous.
They don't have a conscience.
They don't feel bad
about the Jeffrey Dahmers,
the Ted Bundy's,
the John Wayne Gacy's,
these famous people like that,
famous serial killers.
In fact,
I've got a quote
from this person.
Let me see if I can find it here.
It's on my phone somewhere.
And I am not tech savvy.
Where did I put this?
Give me one minute.
All right.
It's an interactive sermon.
Ah, here we go.
You've got to be willing
to embarrass yourself
if you're going to be a preacher.
That's just the way it works, right?
There was a famous atheist
who died a week ago.
I posted about it on Facebook.
And his name is Daniel Dennett.
There's something known
as the Four Horsemen of New Atheism.
And two of these men
have already died
and gone to hell.
And Richard Dawkins
is one of the ones
that's left alive.
And I started reading this book
by this guy that died last week.
I started reading it
like a month ago.
I haven't finished it.
But his name is Daniel Dennett.
And I wrote this book
to convince people
God is not real.
That is his whole life's objective.
Here's a quote
very early in the book
Darwin's Dangerous Idea
that I read.
Here's what it says.
The kindly God
who lovingly fashioned
each and every one of us
and sprinkled the sky
with shining stars
for our delight,
that God is like Santa Claus,
a myth of childhood,
not anything that a sane,
undiluted adult
could literally believe in.
You mean to tell me
someone like this
you can just give the gospel to
and they're going to get saved?
Someone who's just blasphemous
and obnoxiously rude?
I never understood it
with atheists like,
okay, so you don't believe in God,
so what's your point?
Why are you bothering
those that do believe in God?
Don't you have something better
to do with your time?
Rather than trying
to convince people
God is not real?
Look, a guy like Daniel Dennett,
it doesn't matter
how many times he gave him
the gospel.
He's already a child
of the devil.
He's not going to get saved.
He literally writes books
for a living
and he's rich by writing books
saying God is not real
and here's my philosophical
reason why.
Someone like that's
not going to get saved
to give him the gospel.
And look, if you're a soul winner
and you know this is true,
there are many people
we run into where it's like
that person is just
not going to get saved.
They're not interested.
They're rejecting it.
You cannot tell me
that you're going to not,
I mean, do you really think
you could walk up
to Pope Francis
and get that man saved?
You've got to be kidding me.
There are people that are
walking dead men
that have rejected the truth
and they're never going
to believe.
And one segment of those people
are the LGBT,
according to the word of God.
Point number one,
they cannot receive it.
So why waste our time
trying to give that
which is holy unto the dogs
or casting our pearls
before swine?
They cannot receive it.
They will not receive it.
They certainly are not
going to receive the gospel
and I'm certainly not going
to try to placate someone
that is implacable,
that cannot be soothed
or placated or appeased.
Point number two,
they revenge.
That's what it said
in Matthew 7.
Six will turn again
and rend you.
The Bible says in 2 Peter 2
verse 2,
and many shall follow
their pernicious ways
by reason of whom
the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of.
These people,
they speak evil
of the truth of God's word.
They mock the Bible.
They criticize the Bible.
They blaspheme the Bible.
They mock Jesus.
They criticize us.
It's like,
oh, you believe
in the Trinity?
There's three persons
in the Bible.
Aha, look at how stupid
you are.
They speak evil
of the truth.
These are people
that are reprobates
concerning the truth
in 2 Peter chapter 2.
Go in your Bible
to 2 Timothy chapter 3.
2 Timothy chapter 3.
And maybe you're familiar
with in Romans 1
where the Bible says,
who hold the truth
in unrighteousness.
They consider the truth
of God's word unrighteous.
Let me give you
an example of this.
I mean,
Jesus is the only way
to heaven, right?
Believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved.
Meaning every Muslim
is going to die
and go to hell.
Every Hindu
is going to die
and go to hell.
Every Buddhist
is going to die
and go to hell.
And look,
I'm not ashamed of that.
I'm not embarrassed
about that.
I am happy with our Savior
that died for the sins
of the whole world.
And if people want
to reject it,
that's their problem.
You know what?
People would look
like every Muslim
has to believe in Jesus
to go to heaven.
You're saying every Buddhist
has to believe in Jesus
to go to heaven?
What are we seeing?
They're holding the truth
in unrighteousness?
It's not fair.
That's not right.
They hold the truth
in unrighteousness.
Of course, Jesus said,
I am the way,
the truth.
They hate the truth.
Now look,
don't get me wrong.
A lot of LGBT
will say they believe in God,
but guess who
they do not believe in?
The God of the Bible.
You can make up a God
in your own mind.
Hey, that's fine.
It doesn't change reality.
2 Timothy 3,
notice what it says
in verse 3.
It says,
without natural affection,
truce breakers,
false accusers,
incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those
that are good.
They hate those
that are good.
Look, the LGBT
doesn't just hate me,
it hates all of you as well
when you're trying
to serve God.
That's what the Bible says.
They hate us.
And it says in verse 7,
verse 7,
ever learning and never
able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
It's not that,
well, you know,
they didn't come.
No, no, no,
they're not able.
It's impossible
for them to believe
on Jesus Christ
and get saved.
And it says in verse 8,
it says they resist the truth.
Men of corrupt minds,
they resist the truth,
reprobate concerning the faith,
but they shall proceed
no further,
for their folly shall be
manifest unto all men.
Go in your Bible
to Romans chapter 1.
We'll close out Romans 1.
Romans chapter 1.
So look,
the next time somebody
tells you,
well, Jesus never talked
about the homos,
Matthew 7, 6.
There's your verse.
It's like,
well, he didn't talk
about them much
because there weren't
that many homos,
but actually,
Matthew 7, 6.
Dogs and swine,
yeah, that's actually
referring to the LGBT.
Why is it we should not
give that which is holy
unto the dogs
or cast their pearls
before swine?
Because they can't receive it.
They're not going
to accept it.
And because they're
going to turn again
and rend you,
they're going to revenge.
And point three,
they hate God.
These people,
they hate God.
If you try to bring them
the truth of God's word,
they hate God's word.
They hate what
the Bible says.
They reject it.
It's not that
they don't know the truth.
They hate the truth.
There's a big difference.
We're not referring
to some unsaved person
that's never heard
the gospel.
We're talking about people
that know the truth
and they reject it
and they hold
the truth.
It says in verse 19,
Romans 1, verse 19,
because that which may be
known of God
is manifest in them,
for God has showed it
unto them.
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 that they are
without excuse.
They're without excuse.
Because that when they
knew God,
so they heard about God,
they glorified him
not as God,
neither were thankful
but became vain
in their imaginations
and their foolish heart
was darkened.
And look, people that want
to reject God's word
and then just believe
this world created itself,
it's just like
they have wild imaginations.
It's like a little kid
that never grows up
because kids have
a big imagination
and it's fun.
They create something,
they write it on your paper
and you're like,
what is this?
And they'll say,
well, you know,
this is a horse
or a dinosaur or whatever.
You're like,
oh, thank you very much.
And you're like,
yeah, that's normal
with a kid
or kids are playing
and they imagine stuff
and that's fun
but that's what
five-year-olds do.
Not 50-year-olds.
I mean usually
you kind of grow up
past that stage
of the wild imagination
that you have
when you're a young child
but not these people
because they do not
want to believe in God.
If you don't want to believe
in the clear evidence,
it's like you got to start
believing some crazy stuff.
You got to have
a wild imagination
You've been watching way too
many sci-fi movies,
my friend.
Verse 22,
professing themselves
to be wise,
they became fools
and changed the glory
of the uncorruptible God
into an image made
like the corruptible man
into birds and four-footed
beasts and craving things.
Wherefore, God also gave them
up to uncleanness
through the lusts
of their own hearts
to dishonor their own bodies
between themselves
who changed the truth
of God into a lie
and worship and serve
the creature more
than the creator
who is blessed forever.
Amen.
God gave them up
on the vile affections
for even their women
did change the natural use
into that which
is against nature.
And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use
of the woman,
burned in their lust
one toward another,
men with men
working that which is
unseemly and receiving
themselves at recompense
of their error
which was meet.
And in verse 26
and verse 27,
it's referring to women
being attracted to women
and men being attracted
to men.
It's saying it's not natural.
It's not normal.
God did not
create you that way.
It's a vile and wicked
affection.
It's like,
what's wrong with you?
And then you think
about the LGBT
and it's like,
what is wrong with them?
Just filled full of these
vile, disgusting desires
that no normal person has.
Look, to every guy
in this room,
it is repulsive,
the idea of men with men.
It's disgusting.
And look, here's the thing.
The world is changing
very rapidly
because when I was a kid
in the US, you know what
the most popular game
on the playground was?
Smear the queer.
That was a game.
We mocked the LGBT.
We made fun of them.
We didn't think
it was normal.
It was strange.
And look, everyone has told me
it's the same thing
here in the Philippines.
For 2,000 years,
that's the way
people have felt.
I mean, they've known
what the Bible said,
but when you go to societies
that are rejecting God's word
now, all of a sudden,
they start allowing
all of this filth.
Let me actually turn here.
In my morning Bible reading,
I came across a verse
that I thought would tie in
well with this sermon.
I don't want to misquote it,
but Proverbs 28, verse 4,
They that forsake the law
praise the wicked,
but such as keep the law
contend with them.
Pastor, you're too extreme.
Well, I mean, such as
keep the law
contend with the wicked people,
but they that forsake the law,
they praise the wicked.
That's what the Bible says.
They that forsake the law
praise the wicked.
So when you see these people
that are praising the LGBT,
it's like, okay,
you're not that godly
of a person yourself, are you?
That's what the Bible says.
And as God's people,
we ought to contend
with the wickedness
because nobody else
is doing it.
And if you're not going to get
the pillar and ground of truth
in the house of God,
where are you going to get it?
Are you going to get it
on the news?
Are you going to get it
from the actors and actresses?
Are you going to get it
from the musicians?
Are you going to get it
from the politicians?
No.
But you better believe
you ought to be hearing
the truth in God's house.
And sadly, that's not what you see
around most churches in 2024.
The Bible says in verse 28,
And even as they did not like
to retain God in their knowledge.
Do you notice what that says?
They did not like,
they did not want to retain
God in their knowledge.
It's not that the evidence
isn't there.
They did not like to retain God.
I don't want to believe in God.
I don't want to believe in a God
that gave me rules
that I have to follow
that tells me right and wrong.
I don't want to believe in that.
They don't like to retain
God in their knowledge.
It's not that the evidence
isn't there.
They don't want to believe in God.
They don't want to have someone
telling them rules of what to do.
It's not that the evidence
isn't there.
The evidence is there.
They just don't want to.
They literally are like a little kid
that just tries to wish God
out of existence.
That's what they're trying to do.
It's like, yeah, you know,
it's normal for a little kid
to put a blanket over their head
and hope they can hide
and just they won't get in trouble anymore.
Parents won't find out.
That's what a five-year-old does,
Richard Dawkins.
They're a bunch of idiots
and wicked people.
It's like, well, you know,
here's the thing.
You can believe whatever you want.
Go ahead.
Go to the tallest building
in Metro Manila.
And you say,
I don't agree with you, pastor.
I say that you jump off the building,
you're going to hit the ground and die.
You disagree with me.
You say you can jump off the building
and just land on your feet
like a cat or something
from like 30 stories in the air.
Go ahead and just jump off the building
and believe whatever you want.
It doesn't change reality, you idiot.
You're still going to smash
into the ground and die.
And look, you don't like to retain God
and their knowledge,
but it doesn't change anything.
It's still the same God.
It's still the same rules.
Go ahead and try to wish God out of existence.
It's not going to work, my friend.
These are the rules that God laid down.
And it says this in verse 29.
And it says,
God gave them over to reprobate mine,
verse 28, to do those things
which are not convenient,
being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness,
full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity, whispers.
By the way, it says these reprobates,
these homosexuals, are filled full of murder.
They like violence.
They're wicked evil people.
You say, well, I don't know if that's true.
I think you're wrong.
Really?
Let me ask you a question.
Who are the most famous serial killers of all time?
Jeffrey Dahmer is probably the most famous.
Guess what?
He was a male homosexual.
Perhaps number two is John Wayne Gacy.
Guess what?
A male homosexual.
Imagine that.
I'm shocked.
The most famous female homosexual
that they made a Hollywood movie about monster
where Charlize Theron won best actress,
Eileen Wuornos, was a lesbian,
the most famous female serial killer.
So riddle me this.
Explain to me why the most famous male serial killers
and most famous female serial killers
were all homosexuals.
It's just a coincidence.
Filled full of murder.
Maybe the Bible's right.
Maybe we're the ones that are brainwashed
and God told us all along,
but people don't read the Bible in 2024,
so they don't know.
It says in verse 30, backbiters,
and it says haters of God.
Can you imagine what it would take
to cause you to hate God?
Look, I'm not saying we're always happy
with God's plans for our life,
and I think people can get bitter and upset
like Jonah or whatever,
but I have never in my life
had ever had a thought about hating God.
I don't get that.
That's bizarre to me.
Isn't that strange?
To hate God?
You know why it's strange?
I was talking to my son Zeph last night,
and I was talking to him about just stuff in general.
I try to talk to him every day,
and I was talking about how I love him,
and he's like,
Yeah, I know you love me, Daddy,
and I said,
Let me ask you, Zeph, who loves you more,
me or God?
And he said, God loves me more.
I was like, You're right.
God loves you more than I love you.
Kids know that at a young age,
and you know what takes place?
They're very thankful for the gift of life,
and they're very thankful to have a heavenly Father
that loves them and cares for them,
and you know what those kids want to do with their life?
Number one above anything,
to make God happy.
That's what they want at a young age.
They don't understand all the things
that we understand when we get older,
but at a young age,
they want God to be happy with them.
They want their mom and dad to be happy with them,
and they want God to be happy with them.
It's very bizarre for that person
to one day then hate God,
the one that's shown them more love
than anybody in this world,
and they know that,
and then people have things happen in their lives,
and they choose to get bitter and end up hating God.
That's bizarre because the normal person
that thought has never gone through your head
to hate God.
But that's what these people are like, the LGBT.
They hate God. They hate the God of the Bible.
Despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful,
who knowing the judgment of God,
so they know the judgment of God,
they know what the Bible says about the LGBT,
that they which commit such things
are worthy of death.
Worthy of death.
Not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
You know what the LGBT wants in life?
They want everybody to do the same wicked
and disgusting things that they do.
That's what the Bible says in Romans 1, verse 32.
They have pleasure in them that do them.
I mean, I'm sorry,
but if you come with an open mind to the word of God
and let the word of God guide you into your beliefs,
you will not walk away thinking the LGBT
are just normal, nice, funny people.
They seem so funny on TV.
I mean, Vice Pong eat is so funny.
Yeah, the same guy that makes jokes about raping people.
Ha ha, that's real funny.
Maybe you ought to clean up what you watch for entertainment
if you find that funny.
These people are wicked and disgusting people.
And look, this is in the Sermon on the Mount.
That's what Jesus is talking about.
And look, I challenge everybody.
If you think I'm over the top or extreme
or wrong about what I'm saying,
you're welcome to have that opinion.
But if you're a saved person, I give you this challenge.
Read Genesis 19 and read Judges 19.
Set aside your cell phones, the TV, the entertainment.
Don't go and say, well, let me just look at a commentary.
No, no, no, you read the Bible for yourself
and let the Holy Spirit of God guide you into the truth.
You read Genesis 19 and Judges 19,
and I promise you, you come back next week,
you're going to say, man, I was wrong.
I was wrong.
I thought Pastor Stuckey was extreme, but you know what?
That's what it says in Genesis 19.
That's what it says in Judges 19.
That's what these people are like.
So, you know, what's my advice?
Give not that which is holy on the dogs.
Neither cast your prayers before swine.
My advice, as much as is humanly possible,
stay away from the LGBT.
And I get it.
Some of you have co-workers that are LGBT,
and you're in a tough situation,
and you can't do anything about it.
I get that.
As much as is possible, stay away from the LGBT,
and that includes relatives, neighbors.
Stay away from them.
Let's close in a word of prayer.
Your Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us
to be here today and just getting to see,
you know, from the Sermon on the Mount,
Matthew 7-6, God, and help us just to be willing
to believe the Bible for what it says,
even if it goes against our preconceived ideas, God.
Help everyone that is here that's saved
to just read the Bible with an open mind
to determine what they believe
and allow the Holy Spirit of God to guide them.
God, we pray all these things in Jesus' name.
Amen.
