There is a doctrine that was created in America, tailor-made for America.
It's the doctrine of the carnal Christian.
Alright, it says in verse number 14, "For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am what? I am carnal."
It's old understanding. Here's what's funny. There's this preacher called Paul Washer.
He's this phony preacher, and everybody's like, "Oh, you need to listen to this guy preach!"
They're always sending me his sermons, telling me how great this guy is.
The guy is the biggest heretic, phony, lying devil.
He did not preach in the King James Bible, and he preached a total work salvation!
You weren't saved by formula or some words you repeated after someone else.
You were saved because you repented of your sins, and you believed.
And not only did you do that in the past, you continued to do it even until now.
Because when Jesus, a proper translation of that verse he gave, is this, "The kingdom
of God has come.
The time is fulfilled.
Now spend the rest of your life repenting of your sins and believing in Me."
You say you believe, and you have no works?
Your faith is hypocritical.
It's unreal.
It's wrong.
No.
If you don't have work, you're going to hell.
He uses it up all different ways, but you know what?
If you can't tell that what he's preaching is work salvation, it's just because you're
not even saved.
So you can't even tell the difference.
And those that are blinded today are sucked in by this guy because they can't understand
that what he's preaching is just work salvation.
Paul Walser doesn't preach works, then you're not even saved.
If you listen to him and you think he's not preaching work salvation, then you're not
saved.
Because he gets up and clearly says, "If you're sinning and you keep sinning, you're not
saved.
And if you don't obey Christ and do all the works, then you're not saved.
And if you don't do this and do that and do that, then you're not saved.
And if you don't repent of all your sins, then you're not saved."
And I mean, this guy just preaches a hardcore work salvation to an extreme.
I mean, he doesn't just kind of mix in works.
It's total works based.
It's total.
You're not saved unless you're doing this and doing this and doing this and doing this
and doing...
Hey, the Bible says, "Him that worketh not."
I think it's the third time I'm quoting it in this sermon.
But believe it.
It's possible to believe without doing the works.
His faith is counted for righteousness.
No.
If you don't have works, you're going to hell.
And he's popular.
I don't know why this guy's whining preaching is so popular.
But he gets up and whines and cries about all this stuff.
And he, you know, it's funny, there's this really famous sermon that he preached.
Like, I've never even really, I've listened to literally like 10 minutes of this guy's
preaching.
Because people are sending me emails like almost every day like, "You need to listen
to Paul Washer.
You need to hear Paul Washer.
Like, you need to listen to Paul Washer."
So finally I'm just like, you know what, I'm just going to see who Paul Washer is.
And this is the only time I've ever listened to Paul Washer.
So I pulled up his most famous sermon, okay?
You know, the shocking or whatever it was, I don't know what it's called.
I pulled up and I just listened to 10 minutes of it.
And he's like telling you how worldly you are, and he's got like a whole rock and roll
set like behind him.
He's like, "Christians are so worldly!"
He's like, "Your churches are so worldly!"
And so this guy preaches, and here's a famous quote that I've seen from him.
"There's no such thing as a carnal Christian."
Dear friend, there is no such thing as a carnal Christian.
That famous quote.
Has anybody ever heard people say it?
And I don't even know if it's original with him, because I've heard a lot of people, "There's
no such thing as a carnal Christian."
Because they say if you're carnal, you're not saved.
You know, if you're living in the flesh, you're not saved.
No, Christians aren't carnal.
If you're not living for God, you're not saved.
It's a work salvation.
"No such thing as a carnal Christian."
Well then why did Paul say, "I'm carnal"?
It's really tough to understand, isn't it?
We should show you that Paul Washer is a liar.
Because it says right there, "Do you consider the Apostle Paul a really good Christian?"
He was probably the greatest guy in the New Testament, besides John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.
He's not carnal. Isn't that interesting?
So he's way better than the Apostle Paul. Are we lucky to have him in our day?
The Apostle Paul preached, but even better is to hear Paul Washer, because he's not carnal at all.
The Apostle Paul said, "I'm carnal."
Corinthians 3, he said, "When I wrote unto you, write unto you as babes in Christ, because you're so carnal."
Babes in Christ. They were saved, but they were just a spiritual baby.
And so they were carnal, confessing the fact, things that he shouldn't do.
There is no such thing.
Because you've got to give up the things of this world to be saved, right?
And his big thing is repent of your sins, repent of your sins, or you've got to repent of your sins.
And his whole shocking message was like, "If you believe that's not enough, you also have to repent of your sins."
Which isn't a shock since the same lie has been preached by Roman Catholicism and all these other phony religions since the dawn of time.
And he's up there preaching against worldliness, but the whole music before his sermon was all rock and roll.
But that's not worldly, right? Okay?
And he's getting up there preaching, and I listened to like ten minutes of his whining, and I was like, "This is garbage. This is ridiculous. This guy's a liar. This guy's a false prophet."
And now when I get those emails, I just delete them, you know?
