Chapter 15 in your laminated handouts or your King James Bible
To being passed around go ahead and turn in your Bibles to Genesis chapter 2 the book of Genesis chapter number 2
This is chapter 2 the Bible reads thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them and on the seventh day
God ended his work
which he had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made and God blessed the seventh day and
Sanctified it because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made
these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that the Lord God made that
Earth and the heavens and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew
For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground
but there went up amidst a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground and the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man
became a living soul and the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and
there he put the man whom he had formed and out of the ground made the Lord God
to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food the tree of
life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil
and a river went out of Eden to water the garden and from thence it was parted
and became into four heads the name of the first is Pison that is it which
composite the whole land of Havila where there is gold and the gold of that land
is good there's bedelium and the onyx stone and the name of the second river
is Gihon the same as it that composites the whole land of Ethiopia and the name
of the third river is Hittekil that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria
and the fourth river is Euphrates and the Lord God took the man and put him
into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it and the Lord God commanded
the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat but of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it for in the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die and the Lord God said it is
not good that the man should be alone I will make him I will make him and help
meet for him and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field
and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them and whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was the name
thereof and Adam gave names to all cattle and to the fowl of the air and
to every beast of the field but for Adam there was not found and helped meet for
him and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he
took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which
the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man and
Adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be
called woman because she was taken out of man therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one
flesh and they were both naked the man and his wife and we're not ashamed let
us pray dear Heavenly Father thank you for this day thank you for all the souls
that were saved this afternoon I ask you to bless now the preaching of the of your
word please remove all distractions and help us to be attentive to your word in
Jesus name amen amen all right well good evening everyone want to first thank
pastor Shelley for the opportunity to preach tonight hope we'll have a little
bit of fun looking at God's Word and I want to kind of lay out a bit of a kind
of a roadmap for what we're going to look at here tonight first thing we're
going to look at point one it's going to be a pretty simple point I think
everyone's going to grasp it no problem I'll give you some illustrations I'll
give you a couple of ways to apply point one to your lives let me here's a good
application start your clock you ready there we go that was a joke no one got
it okay clocks running then we'll give into we'll get into point number two and
it'll be a pretty quick point again a simple point and then we're going to
take a big breath and we'll get to point number three where the rubber will
really meet the road for our sermon here tonight so we're there in Genesis
chapter two and even really before we get into that you know there's these
things called homonyms in the English language and there's all kinds of
variations of homonyms and we're not gonna get into that so much but it's
words that are typically spelled differently but sound the same here's an
example bear and bear they mean completely different things a bear is
like you know rawr it's a bear bear on the bottom there could be like I'm
bearing a load or Christ bore our sins in the past tense right they but they
sound the same bear and bear here's another good example of one wine and
wine now you often notice people that are into this do this a lot about this
there's another simple one for you two two and two all three means something
completely different but you just pronounce them two so we're gonna look
at a couple and specifically one of these tonight so let's get in there to
Genesis chapter number two now I want you to focus in here on verse 18 now by
way of context if you think about where we're at in the Bible only the second
chapter in God has made everything and it was good in fact seven times he says
it was good and he got man and you got a garden and we're doing good well in
verse 18 notice here what it says and the Lord God said it is not good so I
always found this interesting that right from the beginning all of a sudden we
have the Lord saying something's not good which kind of caught my attention
but think about it it's not the the thing that he has created which was not
good it's the situation that the creation finds itself in which is not
good now we look at our verse here it's not good that man should be alone so
there's the problem luckily he solves it for us right now he says I will make him
and help meet for him now I want to focus in on this word meat meat now this word
meat means suitable means appropriate something that goes with it in a good
way it's meat so I will make him an help meat for him now what does Adam need
help with does Adam need help tilling the garden no he can till it just fine
does he need help naming the animals or does he what does he need help with well
if you just turn back a page to Genesis chapter 1 look at verse 28 and it says
and God blessed them and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply and
replenish the earth and subdue it okay this Adam cannot do by himself there's
no possible way so he needs a help meat for him to carry out the command that
God has told him to do now I told you this was a simple point I mean this
isn't rocket science here so point number one women were created to be an
help meat for men or if we're gonna simplify that women are on help meat
now let's pick it real simple women are meat cool no problem women are suitable
here's what I'm saying the only suitable help for a man is a woman now no other
thing works in this scenario it's a basic idea right I mean it's not like
this is weird or rocket science it's very basic and this is in fact even
repeated in the New Testament turn if you will to 1st Peter chapter 3 and
while you're turning there I'll read for you Titus chapter 2 starting in verse
3 the aged women likewise that they be in behavior as becometh holiness not
false accusers not given to much wine teachers of good things that they may
teach the younger women to be sober to love their husbands to love their
children so again the New Testament is just repeating what we see all the way
back in Genesis chapter 2 is that women are meat for the men women are suitable
for the men now it's always been like this like I mentioned and you're in 1st
Peter look at this verse 1st Peter chapter 3 we're in verse 5 for after
this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adorned
themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands so when he says the
old time well from here where we are today back to when Peter wrote this
about 2,000 years and Peter in this context is referring to Abraham and
Sarah which is about another 2,000 years before him so for us we can say for
the last 4,000 years of human history now we can go back further because we
went back to Adam and Eve in the context of this for the last 4,000 years women
have been the suitable or meet partner the help for men that has been the
standard of all human society for the last 4,000 years now 4,000 years is old
right that's what we would call an ancient landmark and I get that from
Proverbs chapter 22 verse 28 says remove not the ancient landmark which thy
father have set now what's an ancient landmark this here is a rock and in the
old times you would set a rock somewhere and you would delineate things for
example I'll say here's the line everything on this side of this line
that goes this way everything on this side is mine let's just say and
everything on this side is yours so we have this landmark we're like great well
I'm going about my business and you come along and you go like this right and
then I come back I'm like well wasn't it right you know I don't know it looks
okay a little bit more time it just slowly the landmark gets moved and what
does that mean well I used to be over here now I'm here now for simplicity
here is not here so when things slide they're not in the same position right
can we can we understand this right now the world does this a lot see the world
likes to move the landmarks little by little and sometimes we notice it but
many times it's so small it's so slight that we don't even notice that it's
moving until we found ourselves way over here and we kind of look around and go
well what the world happened I was over there like you know a year ago or
whatever well these slow casual little movements over I'm gonna illustrate
this with a transcript from a naval ship to Canadian authorities now I
researched and this actually is completely false it's not real in the
sense that this didn't actually happen but it illustrates this point perfectly
okay so an American ship is traveling along a big giant ship and they see a
light off in the distance now here's where the radio transmission happens the
Americans please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a
collision the Canadians respond recommend you divert your course 15
degrees to the north to avoid collision the Americans this is the captain of a
US Navy ship I say again divert your course Canadians say no I say again you
divert your course Americans obviously flustered and they don't know who we are
and about how exceptional we are this is the aircraft carrier USS Abraham
Lincoln the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic fleet we are
accompanied by three destroyers three cruisers numerous support vessels and I
demand that you change your course 15 degrees to the south the Canadians in a
very calm and collective voice say this is a lighthouse your call you see many
churches today many pastors many even people are shifting their doctrine 15
degrees to the south now how much is 15 degrees well think of a clock you have
12 in the middle one on this side and 11 on this side right you with me well in
between 12 and 1 that little space between 12 and that's 15 degrees it's a
very small amount and in fact most of the time you don't hardly notice 15
degrees except think about 15 degrees as you're traveling along it gets
further and further and bigger and bigger if you were to go from here to
Dallas you have a straight shot 15 degrees probably you know just hit the
south side of Dallas but what if you kept going straight and you're going all
the way to I don't know let's say you're going to China you got a nice straight
shot if you're only 15 degrees off you literally end up like in the North Pole
it's not even close because over time small incremental changes add up to
giant changes and that's the point of this illustration you know and and just
like in this illustration you know society is yelling and huffing and
puffing and demanding and canceling and and voting saying hey Christians I want
you to move just 15 degrees no no not a lot not a lot just just I need you to
move just a little bit here's what I say I'm a lighthouse I ain't moving I'm
shining the light of God's Word I'm standing on the rock of Jesus I can't
move where you want me to go well but get rid of the Bible okay now I have no
light now I'm not a lighthouse anymore hey we're the light of the world the
light of the world a lighthouse you can complain all you want I'm not moving
can't move even if I wanted to what am I gonna oh here's the NIV no sorry your
light just went out what's the application here in this point is well
obviously I think you understand the basic idea that women are meat are there
other doctrines in your life that are just 15 degrees off like hey you're here
amen but what's your doctrine on you know let's say Bible reading is it when
it's convenient well what does the Bible say does that is that the Bible's
doctrine no that's not the Bible's doctrine the Bible doctrine is hey
you're gonna live by every word every day you're reading the Bible in the
numerous things you know the areas in your life that are just 15 degrees off a
complete reprobate on these things but you know it's a lot of times just things
that get in the way 15 degrees off you know our philosophies our doctrines our
beliefs they need to align perfectly with the Bible that doesn't mean we're
perfect we mess up all the time but at least can you say I at least know what
the right thing is and I can at least try to hit it now we're gonna mess up
we're gonna get sick one day and not read the Bible or you know whatever I'm
just using that as an example yeah okay here's a good one what's your doctrine
regarding church attendance is there less people in this service than there
was in the morning yeah there is so someone has a doctrine that says it's
okay to miss evening service I would disagree with that I try to go to every
service that I can and if there was a you know that's three a week for those
that don't know three to thrive if there was a fourth I'd go to the fourth but
there's not I've been trying to get a fourth but so it's the same for big
issues or little issues look here's a big issue some people don't understand
that women are meat they don't understand this that's more than 15
degrees but you get the point so point number one women are meat God uses
these ancient landmarks to guide all of society and it's not based off of what
the world says it's not based off of how the world feels but honestly I don't
care how the world feels they've lost their damn minds the world has lost and
of course if you've heard the sermon this morning they don't have the Spirit
of God of course you know listen to someone that's blind tell you where to
go no you know when we think of a deeper recap of this we really have to examine
doctrines in our lives and make sure that our doctrines personally line up
with what the Bible says and not even allow for a 15 degree just the slightest
little well it's okay you know just a sure I'm saved maybe the woman might say
and I love my pants oh it's so hard to get rid of the pants I get it I mean I
always worn pants but I mean I understand that it is difficult I mean my
wife had to go through the exact same thing and she said here's what she said
to me boy it's hard but this is what she said but it's what the Bible says so okay
it's what it says I need to get over it this is what it says so you get
it point number one women are meat good okay good let's move on let's go to
Genesis chapter 9 just a couple pages over now when you think of the context
for Genesis 9 now the flood has come and gone and Noah they all survived and
they're getting off of the ark and God's about to lay down some points of
interest and some commands and some knowledge to to Noah and look here in
verse number three Genesis 9 verse 3 every moving thing that liveth shall be
meat meat for you even as the green herb have I given you all things now what's
it talking about with meat talking about food okay now this does not mean food
this does mean food they sound the same but they're very different so point
number two is real simple animals are meat animals are meat now of course this
is also repeated in the New Testament if you look at all I'll go ahead and read
it you can turn to first Timothy chapter 4 but in in the New Testament first
Corinthians 8 says wherefore if meat make my brother to offend I will eat no
flesh so goes meat and flesh again illustrating or enforcing reinforcing
the idea that meat is food Colossians 2 16 says look no man therefore judge you
in meat or in drink again showing that it's something that you're eating or in
respect of a holy day or the new moon or the Sabbath day again I told you this
wasn't gonna be rocket science on point number two Romans chapter 14 verse 1
says him that is weak this is gonna be verses 1 through 3 but you're there
stay where you're at in 1st Timothy Romans chapter 14 verses 1 through 3 him
that is weak in the faith receive ye but not to doubtful despise it desk
dispusations verse 2 for one believe it that meet he may eat all things another
who is weak eat it herbs or herbs I just say I call it herbs verse 3 let not him
that eateth despise him that eateth not and let not him which eateth not judge
him that eateth for God has received him what are we talking about we're talking
about that animals are meat animals are food so if this is like just basic I
mean I'm literally saying animals are used for food how in the world does this
get messed up in our time today because look people are messed up I mean there's
many a people that are vegetarian to the point of violating Romans where they say
hey look I'm a vegetarian but you have to be a vegetarian and it's like well
wait a minute how about 1 billion Catholics that are messed up on the
idea that Fridays is not fish Friday you're allowed to eat meat on Fridays
okay you're there in 1st Timothy let's look at how this gets messed up 1st
Timothy chapter 4 starting in verse 1 now the spirit speaketh expressly that
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to
seducing spirits and look at this phrase doctrines of devils speaking lies and
hypocrisy they have and I want you notice this their conscience seared that
I'll come up later with a hot iron sorry in verse 3
forbidding to marry oh meat they don't understand that women are meat for
forbidding to marry and commanded to abstain abstain from meats uh-oh they
don't understand that animals are meat see how does it get messed up false
prophets like to come in and try to put some sort of squeeze on you maybe to
look spiritual maybe to make you feel spiritual what whatever I don't care
here's the basic breakdown for point number two is that you can eat meat or
not right if you don't want to fine but don't make someone else try to conform
to your unbiblical doctrine and let's say look in a broader sense you
know there's all kinds of things that you may have a personal doctrine idea
about especially men in your house you may say a wife you can't wear purple on
Tuesdays hey amen do what you want I'm never gonna say one thing about it
you're the head of that house you get to do as you see fit but if you come to my
wife and say you can't wear purple on Tuesdays or well now now you've broken
the rules here so to speak now you've gone beyond your bounds of your
authority right so it's a simple point animals are meat but yet this gets just
like the other 15 degrees off a little bit here there just the idea of what
the Bible says gets slightly twisted slightly and you're in no man's land you
don't know what could happen at that point and I know you're thinking well
how bad can it really be well look lots of people get really twisted up on
really small doctrines that they take a hundred miles in the wrong way I mean
do you think these oneness heretics started that way no they saw some verse
and they what it says we're gonna call him everlasting father 15 degrees off
five years later you're Tyler Baker I mean well look this is how it starts
this is you know it's not like it again this isn't some sort of weird thing or
you know it isn't hard to understand so point number one women are meat point
number two animals are meat now let's all collectively take a nice big breath
shall we seriously ready now we're gonna get into the meat of the issue no pun
intended point number three animals are not meat animals are meat I'll say it
again animals are not meat what does it look like when someone believes that
animals are meat here I'll reinforce it there's a little underline for you what
does that look like here's the term it's called bestiality see how the air just
went out of the room right it is in the Bible and I'm of the stance that
anything in the Bible should be preached and proclaimed animals are not
to meet animals are meat turn to Leviticus chapter 18 and while you're
going there I'll read just a real quick verse Exodus 22 19 says whosoever lieth
with a beast shall surely be put to death that was easy I mean again it's
not rocket science it's pretty easy so when the sin that gets committed is
bestiality sometimes it's called zoophilia there's the other term
beast-o-phile which is not really a real term but I think pastor Anderson made
that up but I like that term we can use these interchangeably when someone
commits this sin the Bible says the punishment is death now again why this
topic because I get it it's not something we hear preach about that often
well like I said number one it's in the Bible and there's no topic that's off
limits there's no topic that's yucky there's no topic that you know we need
to shy away from go back in your mind to the 80s the 1980s right you know what
they weren't preaching about sodomites you know why it was yucky well I don't
know anyone who takes part in that I don't understand why pastors spend the
time every every what was the things with the beehive the tall hair in the
80s in the 90s my mom had one of those those things you put on there and it
makes your it doesn't matter you know people all across the the land why are
you talking about sodomites I don't no one knows anyone no one's well fast
forward where are we they're everywhere you know what happened they didn't
preach about it and for it was too late well you know what you don't know any
beast of files they're out there it's getting more common I'll get into that
later it's a thing that just cuz you don't know it's there guess what the
lighthouse knew it was there the lighthouse knew the whole time God said
hey I want you talking about this subject now it's not every sermon is
about that you know don't get me wrong right it's not every time but at least
needs to be proclaimed of what is the zero degree what's zero zero is you
commit bestiality God says you're worthy of death that's the zero mark right
there now we're in Leviticus 18 let's look at start in verse 1 we'll get just
a little bit of context here verse 1 through 3 is a little bit of context
okay here we go Leviticus 18 starting in verse 1 and the
Lord spake unto Moses saying speak unto the children of Israel and saying to
them I am the Lord your God after the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye
dwelt look at this shall ye not do okay so they were doing something in Egypt
something and whatever it is God says don't do it okay we'll continue on after
the doings of the land of Canaan whether I bring you shall ye not do so the
people in Canaan land we're doing something that the Lord says I don't
want you to do and look at this last phrase neither shall ye walk in their
ordinances that should be a familiar word because we talk about ordinances all
the time the Bible has lots of ordinances but guess what the world has
their ordinances too and it's a constant fight whose ordinance is guiding this
ship well we skip down or just I told you that was the context that's the setup
right so verses 6 through 18 we're not gonna read them verses 6 through 18 verse
18 talks about incest verses 19 talks about cleanliness verses 20 talks about
adultery verse 21 talks about abortion verse 22 talks about sodomy verse 23
that's where we pick up look at the first word neither for the last 22 verses
he's been saying don't do this don't do this don't do this don't do this we get
to verse 23 neither so has context changed no we're in the same context he's
saying people did this back over there and where you're going people do it now
but I don't want you to do it okay neither picking up in verse 23 neither
shalt thou lie with any beast to look at this word defile thyself therewith
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto it is
confusion verse 24 defile not yourselves in any of these things for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you 25 and the land is defiled
look at this phrase therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it and the
land itself vomited out her inhabitants ye shall therefore keep my statutes and
my judgments and shall not commit three-quarters of these abominations one
fifth half no you shall not commit any of these abominations what abominations
incest adultery abortion sodomy bestiality none don't commit them neither
any of your own nation now look at this last nor any stranger that sojourneth
among you verse 27 for all these abominations have the men of the land
done which were before you and the land is defiled that the land spew not you
out also spew vomit throw up when ye defile it as it spewed out the nations
that were before you verse 29 for whosoever well except the God's chosen
people of Israel right no for whosoever shall commit any of these abominations
even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people
therefore shall you keep my ordinances that ye commit not any of these
abominable customs that's important abominable customs which were committed
before you and that ye defile not yourselves therein I am the Lord your
God so what is the Bible clearly saying bestiality is an abomination and God is
warning that if you take part in such things friends not you I don't think let
me as a timeout I don't think anyone in this room struggles with bestiality can
I just say that right like a lot of times we go over a lot of sins I want to
just say right up this is not a thing where it's like whoa who's he talking
about like like what in the world no there's no no no it has nothing to do
with anyone in our church movement nothing like this is just we're
preaching the Bible okay but we still have to learn what it's saying here okay
so I just want to I should have said that in the beginning I guess but just
so we're clear okay so what we say what is the Bible clearly saying it's that
these sins are an abomination now what does it look like when a land is filled
with abominations and it starts to spew out the people I present to you America
2024 you notice how the inhabitants of the land are getting switched out you
know and it's not like it's you want to it's just people are being pushed out
and not necessarily only godly people I'm not saying that I'm saying the land
is just throwing up because it's so disgusted at what's happening adultery
abortion sodomy bestiality you say well you forgot uncleanness no it's all
uncleanness you say in this is an interesting point ins you say incest
well how much is that happening okay think about think about all the children
that are defiled by a family member that's incest it's not just defiling of
a child which it is I mean put them to death amen right pedos pedophiles pedo
short for pedophile yeah but it's also incest and that's happening as you all
know all over the place and it's it's it's accelerating even in the amount
that it's happening and meanwhile the land the very little I mean like it's
bad enough when you offend God don't get me wrong but when just the land is when
the rock here is so upset at you that it's throwing up I mean get the idea
here that the very land says I don't even want you around me if you're
committing such abominable acts so what's the definition of abominable
because we only you know I always think of the abominable snowman that's you
know but from dictionary comm it's hatred coupled with disgust now it's
interesting how these two things get coupled in the word abomination first
you have an action that is vicious or vile remember that word from earlier an
action that arouses disgust or abhorrence like hatred right it's an
action but it's also definition number two a person who is loathsome or
disgusting so it's interesting how abomination combines the two to say yes
these acts are terrible but you as a person that are committing these acts
you're an abomination now you need to understand the cultural context now
let's look at the cultural context verse 30 abominable customs remember I told
you abominable customs people today say well you have to take the Bible in its
cultural context that's why these things are allowed that's why there's a here's
what God says about your culture you're an abomination your culture is gross
it's vile it's disgusting that's what God says about cultures that commit
these type of act many people will say well what two people do excuse me what
two beings do in the privacy of their own home is none of our business here's
the problem God still sees it whether there's a law passed or not it doesn't
matter God still sees it and the land is still gonna vomit you out and in fact
I'm living in the land I don't want to get your gender fluid near me at all
like I don't want it near me I don't when that when the lightning when the
hailstorm I don't want you know I gotta live here too look the bigger point is
our sins and again we're not talking about that but on the bigger spiritual
aspect our sins affect other people a little leaven leaven it the whole lump
look one person in the church gets caught up in something not this speaking
in generality here I think we should have our ears kind of look we just kind
of experienced this a little bit right where we luckily we got nice
repentance happening you know there's no extended church discipline that's
happening that needs to happen great but we did have some close calls here right
I hope everyone kind of like kind of stood up just a little bit just to kind
of be like a minute now we got people that are obviously struggling in areas
more than others but you know what a little leaven leaven it the whole lump
and that's not any sort of thing against anyone that's struggling with anything I
just want you as the I'll revert back to my original thing as the master of your
garden you're watching all things that are happening well someone very near to
you had a close call right this was this last last couple of weeks right a very
close call where church discipline was instituted look church discipline was
instituted that doesn't happen every day you should take notice let's you know
you need to take heed of these things you know what I did when that happened I
went home and I said okay Don that's my wife her name is Don I said what are
some spiritual goals that we have as a family that we need to work on right now
and we talked about it I said is there anything that I can do just as your
husband can I you know I want to make sure I'm not missing something right it
might have I've been maybe neglecting and you've been trying to tell me you
want flowers and I didn't know whatever right when thing when you get a shot
across the bow take note that's what I'm trying to say okay you know this is a
great verse Proverbs 14 34 says righteousness exalt us the nation but
sin is a reproach to any people your sin affects other people turn to Leviticus
chapter 20 while you're going over there I'm gonna read Deuteronomy 27
Deuteronomy 27 21 says cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast any
manner of beast and all the people shall say amen you're in Leviticus chapter 20
just like the book of Leviticus that's I like the book of Leviticus you're in
Leviticus chapter 20 verse 15 if a man lieth with a beast he shall surely be
put to death and he shall slay the beast and if a woman approach unto any beast
and lie down thereto lie down thereto thou shalt kill the woman and the beast
they shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them
bestiality is an abomination and a righteous government would arrest put to
trial and put them to death now this is echoed in the New Testament not
explicitly but generally and in Romans you don't have to turn there you can if
you want Romans chapter 1 I'm gonna kind of swift through a bunch of verses here
so Romans 1 starting verse 26 for this cause God gave them up to vile
affections you recognize that word vile it came up about 12 times so far it
puts a whole new spin on vile affections don't it for even their women did change
natural use into that which is against nature nature spits you out against
nature so nature says uh-huh you're out verse 27 and likewise also the men
leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one one toward
another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves
that rack recompense of their error which was meat meat which was suitable
look it's a suitable reward what you get when you become a reprobate which is you
know I'm really just kind of hop skipping around here a bit for you but I
think you can follow me when you're talking about don't feel sorry for the
reprobate look they're getting the reward that is suitable for them verse 28 and
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to
a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient you know this
reminds me of Daniel 4 16 Nebuchadnezzar gets the heart of a beast why do
reprobates like beasts they got the heart of a beast verse 31 without
understanding covenant breakers without natural affection natural affection
look bestiality is not natural this isn't probably new to you but those acts
are not natural implacable unmerciful 32 who knowing the judgment of God that
they which commit such things are worthy of death not only do the same but have
pleasure in them that do and I thought of this verse actually another brother
brought this verse up I thought is be apropos to put here because of natural
affection first Corinthians 10 13 says this there had no temptation taken you
but such as is common to man when you think about what we're looking at here
in Leviticus right we're in Leviticus chapter 20 how does it get so how does
how did we end up here we collectively America I'm saying how did we end up I
mean our views are not fish 15 degrees off of God's views here if we look at
just kind of a shotgun effect of Leviticus chapter 20 that's where you're
still at right Leviticus chapter 20 you don't necessarily like to fall along
cuz we're gonna hit through them real quick verse 9 you can't you curse your
parents death verse 10 adultery death verse 11 and 12 incest death verse 13
sodomy death verse 15 and 16 bestophile death and it's interesting because I was
having a conversation with someone that I know about this topic and they were
just shrieking back in horror at the idea of bestiality and I get it but this
person is totally prohomo and I said well wait a minute why is bestiality
wrong and I was kind of playing devil I'm poking the bear here and they said
oh well it's gross and I said yeah it's gross it's totally gross but why does
that make it wrong why is it wrong and they said well I know what you're trying
to get at you're trying to get at because the Bible says it's wrong and I
said yes that's exactly right I said would you not agree and they go well
yeah it's gross and he said do you realize that God feels the same way
about sodomy as he does bestiality it's the same punishment they didn't like
that idea White House I don't care if you like it I'm gonna tell you what God's
Word says do with it as you see fit hey you want to run a ground run a ground
that's on you but I'm gonna warn y'all here in my family hey we need to have
the correct doctrine regarding everything I guess that's kind of a
generic statement we need to be correct about everything when you're reading the
Bible and it come across something that you're like I don't really do that okay
then change isn't that what sermons lately have been about you know what are
you doing with your life well look you know the Bible says work with your hands
you know it says don't be lazy you know you shouldn't be sitting around watching
TV you know you know you know you know well start doing it don't let this 15
degree thing go for year after year after year after year next thing you
know you're reading the NIV look you think I'm joking it's not when you get
off course even a small amount you find yourself in no man's land the lighthouse
shines light if you can't see where you're going now you're in darkness
you're just wandering and yes as a Christian I don't think you're gonna end
up at bestiality but you know what else is on there you know what else is on
there adultery what's your view of adultery oh of course it's wrong it's
wrong I agree amen it's wrong but is it okay in your heart you know how about in
your heart is it okay to to view images that bring about adulterous thoughts in
your heart is that cool no but yet we talk about bestiality and the air goes
out of the room we talk about incest and it's like oh and and then all of a sudden
you say well abortion oh well that's a right-wing thing and you're like yeah
well what about adultery oh no that's fine we'll just watch television shows
about it and we'll write songs about it and literally all day every day every
media outlet is talking about fornication and adultery and somehow
that's perfectly fine and yet look Christians are involved in in that
aspect adultery you think Christians don't commit adultery kidding me of
course Christians commit adultery I know someone personally who's been married
eight times eight now two of them died so in their defense six times but still
I mean look it's very common and look this person that's getting that has been
married this many times is getting ready to get married again right part of me
this will be number eight coming I overhead excuse me seven times two died
right the one coming up this person claims to be a Christian they're getting
married to a non-Christian I mean eight strikes you're out how you look the
basic idea that a Christian should marry a Christian is literally foreign
in virtually all of Christianity today even just that basic assertion you know
what 15 degrees back in the 80s 40 years later oh so what is kind of the state
of bestiality in America today I'll try to use a different term it's just a
bothersome term well an article from 2015 from the Jerusalem Post indicates
that Copenhagen which is in Denmark has long been the capital of this type of
activity and it attracts many tourists mainly visiting to have fornication with
animals and in fact there's a whole section now called animal tourism in
which people go to engage in this type of activity in all manner of countries
all over the world it's not just one literally virtually every country that I
could find there 2013 the Daily Mail reported that special animal brothels
were spreading quickly throughout Germany now this did have an effect and
there was laws enacted against that in 2015 I'm sure that they care what the
laws are I'm sure it's gone now 25 sarcasm by the way 2014 a Danish
journalist reported about a man who ran a business catering to people who like
horses and said that he had busloads of people arriving weekly in 2010 look
this isn't even like recent and it's bad you think it's worse now yes 2010 a UK
paper reported in areas of the Western world where this where there is
significant amounts of two things atheism and evolutionary belief those two
things where those are present there have been notable problems related to
bestiality and so much so that it made the news here's a list of the places
where this article specifically highlights secular Europe I don't really
know where that is specifically but Europe but Denmark Germany Netherlands
Sweden Britain Australia and Washington State United States you think this don't
happen in the United States yes it happens in the United States a website
health 24 recently published an article entitled bestiality is much much much
more common than you think it states you might think that bestiality has died out
or that it only happens on farms or it's illegal everywhere you would be very
very wrong it would be it would be naive to suggest that the problem disappeared
after laws changed even in situations where zoophilia that's the word they
like to use is legal it is still far from socially acceptable okay good it's
not so acceptable right and those who indulge in this are normally used to
keeping quiet instead these zoophiles tend to communicate and congregate
through societies like the German-based zoophiles engagement society as well as
dedicated websites that offer a judgment-free space in order for them to
converse freely among their friends the largest such site which I will not read
the name of claims 1.2 million registered members this is in 2010 1.2
registered members and at the time of writing this well more than that number
is in unregistered visitors so we're talking four to five million people
regularly visit that's just the one that's the largest meanwhile back in
America let's talk about some stats for bestiality in America 1975 to 1995 17
people were arrested for this crime of bestiality 1995 to 2005 that jumped to
47 people 2005 to 2010 now we're going in five-year increments a hundred and
thirty-three people that's three times the amount 2010 to 2015 259 people
arrested 2015 to 2020 317 so for the last you know 50 years or so we're
talking 700 and something people were arrested for it now that may not seem
like a lot but you know that's 773 too many as far as I'm concerned and why is
that 773 too many because a lot of these are repeat offenders this is a one
strike you're out type of situation here 5% of the population self reports to
have engaged in this activity isn't that number interesting 5% do we know any
other groups that claim 5% of you know any anybody 86% are men 13% women now
listen to this one 53% of offenders okay people that engage in this 50% of them
have a criminal history that includes children 50% 64% of offenders got an
average of two years probation 25% of those who are arrested they didn't even
bother to prosecute don't even prosecute it because look even when you get
arrested for such things you know they the you don't it's not like it's a death
sentence you know it's you don't put to death it's literally a slap on the wrist
that's where we're at as a country it's a slap on the wrist and really they
don't even outlaw it because of moral reasons you know why they outlaw now
because it's animal cruelty now all the laws now are under animal cruelty statute
they're more concerned with the animal than the moral status of our world
because they say well how can you just say I can't do something like this the
the people that are for these type of activities they literally get the ACLU
and these other you know don't quote me on them they get these other
organizations to back them and to lobby and they say look this is a moral issue
the law has no right to say that but there is an underground group that is
involved in these activities and yeah they congregate together online but
there's no punishment for these crimes you know when a landmark an ancient
landmark such as this when eventually it gets so far over there how do you get it
back to norm you know what the quickest way is you throw this sucker when your
ancient landmark gets too far out of whack you throw it back to where it needs
to go don't win with stones how many kids would not have been defiled if back
in the 80s the Christians and the Baptists would preach God's word about
what it says about sodomy dozens and thousands and thousands of children well
we're gonna do something about it with this all this going on in America and
nothing happens except free plane rides over to Germany so what do we as Bible
believe in Christians you know what do we take away from all of this all right
like I said no one in here is involved in this well we first need to know the
very basic and on the top which is the you know face value which is that God
says that bestiality is an abomination and those who commit such sins should
be put to death that's just on the level and you know while the world tries to
divide up sin into these little categories you know little just little
oh what's this oh it's that it's you know there's like 78 different felias or
whatever in the world they're called you know but but the Bible deals in
absolutes now here's let me give you an easy example of that and we're almost
done but let me give you the example you know the Bible doesn't list every drug
that exists doesn't list LSD doesn't let cocaine you know there's no Mali chapter
there's nothing there you know what it says be sober I don't need a thousand
chapters on every drug I mean how many people that want to smoke pot say well
it doesn't say nothing about marijuana I mean that's a very common you know I
cuz they want to slice this thing up well what is drunk I mean you know it's
like no the Bible just says be sober it's a straight line sober yeah but what
about no sober I don't care if it's bath salts look those people that suck the
oxygen the Huffers they're literally breathing oxygen they're not sober it's
oxygen and it's they're not sober now in the same way when it comes to all the
kind of perverted ways that are out there we don't have a chapter on every
wicked file you know that is out there so what does the God say what does the
Bible say one man one woman marriage that's zero that's straight one man one
woman in the confines of marriage boom yeah but what about no no no well what
yeah no look it doesn't you can bring up any weird kind of fetish that's out
there here's the standard one man one woman married for life and enjoy the
enjoy the relationship great go ahead yeah but what about yeah you're not
pushing me off the 15 degree mark here I'm straight on zero I'm straight we're
not going queer off to the left a little bit we're going straight we need to make
sure this is our takeaway here the third takeaway we need to make sure that our
doctrines on everything that we read about in the Bible and everything that
gets preached about is online with what the Bible says and not tweak them
because it's inconvenient or it's difficult or it's whatever and of
course it's inconvenient and difficult lots of times well I'm sorry that you
had to do something inconvenient and difficult that's the life in which we
live you know what else is really inconvenient and difficult being a
bestophile that's a very inconvenient and difficult way to live your life I would
presume because sin destroys people and it destroys the land right point number
one women are meat women are suitable and they're the only suitable help for
men they're the only suitable help animals are meat feel free to eat all
the bacon you want per the Bible and if you would like not to if you want to be
vegetarian go ahead but don't enforce that on others have your personal
doctrine on that that's fine no issues whatsoever however animals are not meat
animals are meat easy peasy we need to be that lighthouse that shines the light
of God's Word found it on the rock and I don't care that the whole US Navy is out
there beating their chest and and and and and canceling and and TV shows
indoctrinating and and books in the library exposing I look none of that I'm
staying at zero here pal you're not pushing me off and look let's say you
do push me off and and I die guess what this continues on look if steadfast
Baptist Church just disappears tomorrow this word continues on there'll be
another one there'll be 12 more steadfast Baptist Churches praise God
we're not disappearing tomorrow as far as we know because the work continues
right how do we fight against that well we make sure that our doctrines are
right on 545 I think I have what time do we usually stop six I got a little bit
of time good what happens I'm gonna finish on this I'm gonna you can put
your Bibles away I'm gonna finish on this what happens when a church starts
messing up in this area okay ready I present to you Lancaster Baptist Church
and you go well why in the world would you pick on that well one I used to live
in Lancaster and can anything good thing come from Lancaster no that would be my
answer but I was there before they were ever there I never heard of them until
this came up but they they kind of espouse themselves as like a leader in
Baptist things you know looking at their doctrinal statement I just copied
portions of it and and paste it into Google and scores and scores of churches
are copying and pasting their doctrinal statement so they espouse themselves as
a leader in this area let's look at what it says here under the human sexuality
section of their of their doctrinal statement they say this we believe God
has commanded that there should be no intimate sexual activity outside of
marriage between a biological male biological female amen hey we're
straight-on good I'm good with you if it stopped there would be great but it
doesn't we believe that any relationships this is Lancaster Baptist
Church's doctrinal statement we believe that any relationship or activities
involving homosexuality lesbianism bisexuality transgenderism pedophilia
bestiality incest fornication adultery or pornography are sinful perversions of
God's what's the next word you think would be there word doesn't everyone
think it's a simple version of God's word right now a simple version of God's
gift of sex now for those of you that have never searched this before God does
not call sex a gift now you could say in like the broad sense like well every
good gift comes down from the Father above so I'm not trying to just nitpick
but I just searched in the doctrinal statement and the word gift is used three
times two of them are about money and one of them is about sex they don't even
put it in the part about salvation now they reference you know if he's 289 but
they don't list it so I thought that was very interesting you know what that is
that's south just about 15 degrees just just you know what does it softens the
position just a little bit just a little bit right it continues because it gets
worse all people are welcome to attend our regular worship services what for we
believe that all people need to need and deserve to hear the truth of the gospel
why are you giving the gospel and regular services you can give the gospel
now and again but all people now surely they don't mean the group that was just
listed well it gets worse it goes on those who attend may not display and
promote behavior that demonstrates violations of the sinful behaviors
listed in this section on church services or in church grounds or at
church functions something to this I understand this the pedophile can do
that on his own time and he's welcome to come to church the beast of file is
cool as long as he's on the weekends but you come to church better put on the
shirt better put on the tie and make sure that you don't promote this
outwardly the people can't get saved why you keep trying to give the gospel to
people that can't get saved look reprobates can't get saved why do you
want them in your church it gets worse church representatives shall enforce the
doctrinal position of this church but shall not display overt disrespect for
those who condone or display the sinful behaviors listed in this section I'm
literally just reading their doctrinal statement from Lancaster Bible you you
know what that is 15 degrees 15 degrees 15 degrees 15 degrees 15 degrees we just
gonna massage the Bible a little we're gonna soften it up a little bit but
don't worry it gets worse over disrespect I'm sorry that's just okay
the pastor of the church will consistently preach against all forms
of sinful sexual behavior as well as other sinful behaviors but you better
not preach with overt disrespect so what do we know about this church from this
right you've got a church filled with pedophiles and you can't say boo to them
when you notice the tranny sitting in the front row because it's overtly
disrespectful and the pastor well we know there's no hard preaching going on
because it might be overtly disrespectful I'm sorry the I'm not
sorry take it or leave it the Bible is overtly disrespectful a lot what what
is the what does the Bible say have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness but rather reprove them oh with respect now don't get me wrong when we
reprove from the pulpit it's respectful let me tell you some pedophile comes in
here I'm not going to be respectful we've got a special room for him out
there you just go out through this door one more door and slightly to the left
there's a green box you just go ahead and rest in there someone will come by
on I think it's Wednesdays from the waste management and take your trash out
look you have a church that's leading Baptists telling them to allow
pedophiles amongst others into their church that's insane you know how that
happens 15 degrees at a time how the hell does anyone go to Lancaster
Baptist Church how does a Christian go there have no fellowship I can't have
fellowship with the reprobate in church are you kidding more let me read this
and and we'll close it up here mortify therefore your members which are upon
the earth fornication unclean lists inordinate affections look kill those
suckers mortify inordinate affections doesn't is this Colossians 3 5 but I was
reading but 3 6 says for which things sake the wrath of God cometh upon the
children of disobedience do you want to be around people that literally have the
wrath of God abiding on them oh of course not and other Christians that are
listening outside of our church you need to get out of a church that has found
themselves so far away that they're literally welcoming pedophiles to come
and sit among you that would be my advice anyway point number one one was
women are meat point number two animals are meat point number three animals are
not meat animals are meat and we need to be the lighthouse shining God's Word
forth standing on the rock of Jesus and they can huff and they can puff but you
know what what they need to do is know their role and shut their mouth and I
don't care what they have to say about it I'm gonna proclaim God's Word whether
they like it or not cool good let's pray heavenly father thank you so much for
your word Lord and that you warn us against all manner of things and thank
you Lord that we don't necessarily see this very often Lord but it's there and
you know that it's there Lord and we can see your judgment happening in America
now we see it father Lord Jesus I just pray that you would strengthen us allow
us to boldly preach your word with a tear in the eye Lord that we could get
people saved father Lord just pray that where if there's areas in our lives
where our doctrine has been changed or softened or is off the mark a little bit
Lord I just pray you'd work in our hearts to fix those things speak to us
through your word when we when we read it each day Lord help the men to to love
their wives as Christ loved the church help the women to obey their husbands
Lord show them reverence Lord Jesus I pray for the protection of every child
that is in this place Lord thank you for a pastor that keeps the wolves away Lord
thank you so much for that we pray Lord you bless us as we go in Jesus name amen
