Fall along silently with brother Hester as he reads Psalm 71 beginning in verse number one
Psalm 71 and
The Bible reads in me. Oh Lord. Do I put my trust?
Let me never be put to confusion
Deliver me in thy righteousness and cause me to escape incline thine ear unto me and save me
Be thou my strong habitation where unto I may continually resort
Thou hast given commandment to save me for thou art my rock and my fortress
Deliver me. Oh my god out of the hand of the wicked out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man
For thou art my hope Oh Lord God thou art my trust from my youth
By thee have I been holding up from the womb
Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee
I am as a wonder unto many but thou art my strong refuge
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day
Cast me not off in the time of old age forsake me not when my strength faileth
For mine enemies speak against me and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together
Saying God hath forsaken him persecute and take him for there is none to deliver him. Oh
God be not far from me. Oh my god make haste for my help
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt, but I will hope continually and
Will yet praise thee more and more?
My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day for I know not the numbers thereof
I will go in the strength of the Lord God. I will make mention of thy righteousness
Even of thine only Oh God thou hast taught me from my youth and hitherto
Have I declared thy wondrous works?
Now also when I am old and grey-headed Oh God forsake me not
Until I have showed thy strength unto this generation and thy power to everyone that is to come
Thy righteousness also Oh God is very high who has done great things Oh God
Who is like unto thee thou which has showed me great and sore troubles?
Shout quicken me again and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth
Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. I
Will also praise thee with the psaltery even thy truth. Oh my god unto thee
Will I sing with the harp Oh thou holy one of Israel?
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee and my soul which thou hast redeemed
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long for they are
Confounded for they are brought unto shame that seek my hurt
Father in heaven, thank you for the Bible and salvation and thank you for this church gathering tonight
I pray that you please bless Pastor Anderson with the fullness and the power of the Holy Ghost
As he preaches your word and help us your children get better as Christians in Jesus name
I pray amen
Man, Psalm 71 the Bible reads in verse number one in the O Lord. Do I put my trust?
let me never be put to
confusion and
When I think about all the different ways that people get punished in the Bible
One of the worst ways that people get punished in the Bible is by losing their mind
becoming confused becoming
Confounded and if you think about the worst people in the Bible that Romans chapter 1 describes where they've gone down that downward
Spiral of just getting worse and worse and worse the end of that is being given over to the reprobate
Mind right? I would rather lose any part of my body than to lose my mind
I'd rather have anything else go wrong with my health than to lose my mind
It's the worst and over and over again you see God
Astonishing people
confounding them
Confusing them and punishing them with that
It's prophesied all the way back in the Mosaic law and you see it throughout the book of Psalms even in this psalm
David is praying this for his enemies. Look what the Bible says in verse 13
let them be confounded and
Consumed that are adversaries to my soul. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my
Hurt he's saying look Lord. Don't ever let me be put to confusion
But let them be confounded he says and then if you jump down to verse 24
It says my tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long for they are
confounded
For they are brought unto shame that seek my hurt
So again, this is a bad punishment that's gonna happen to the enemy
They're gonna be confounded but he says Oh God, let me never be put to confusion those two words confusion and confounded are connected
Somebody who speaks Spanish. I'm not an expert in Spanish, but help me out confundido. Is that not being confused?
Who speaks Spanish who can I get a witness? Ah,
Who will testify that I'm right confundido, right?
Estoy un poco confundido. Oh Rita
No, I'm just kidding. No, I'm not nobody speaks Spanish here a couple people
but anyway
you know these two words are the same thing being confounded is being confused being put to confusion and
This is something that God will often do to the enemy in order to protect his people and punish them
You know, for example
There are times when the opposing armies of Israel would actually get confused and start fighting each other
Instead of fighting against the Israelites when they were severely outnumbered and then that's how they could win the battle
In fact brothers say girl weren't you just talking about in your sermon?
the other day friendly fire and
Just how many people were getting hit with friendly fire where people get confused and they're firing at their fellow
Americans and they're saying hold your fire. It's us
And so this is something that we see happening throughout scripture in a battle scenario
But just in general the last thing you want is for God to mess with your mind and let me tell you something
I have seen the enemies of the Lord
confounded many times in my life and I've also seen my own personal enemies get
Confounded many times when they're attacking me as a preacher of God's Word because look I'm human. I'm a sinner
I'm just a normal guy, but you know what? I preach the gospel
I preach the Word of God and so therefore I have protection from God
Because of the fact that I'm his servant
Not saying that I'm some kind of a special person or something
But just because of the fact that I serve God and preach the gospel and preach the Word of God
You know God's going to protect me
He said touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm and you know, if you're out there serving God
You're out there winning souls and preaching the gospel. You know what God's gonna have some special protection for you, too
Okay, because you're also anointed and and and filled with the Holy Spirit as you're out there doing the work of the Lord
You know recently a certain preacher
Manly Perry
Who has been a wicked lying slanderer of our church a user
somebody who basically was just an infiltrator who used me and used my friends and
Flattered his way in and then got a bunch of people to follow him try to draw away
Disciples after him and then now he's teaching them a bunch of damnable heresy
And basically what he's got is a cult
Where he's got them all brainwashed and they're not they don't listen anybody else and he teaches them strange
Heretical doctrines now you say well, I think you might be going a little bit overboard there pastor Anderson
No, I'm not because wait
Oh you hear what he's teaching because once I tell you what he's teaching you'll see that I'm not exaggerating and for someone to teach
Something so bizarre. The only way you can describe it is that they're confounded they're confused
Because I can't even imagine a
false prophet or an unsaved person being this stupid to teach the things that he's teaching but it's because God is
punishing him and
putting him to confusion
confounding him because he seeks the hurt of
Actual preachers that are preaching the Bible
Because he's malicious toward people who are actually serving God his punishment is to get
Confused to get
Confounded and to teach bizarre heresy now, let me explain to you the heresy that is teaching and you know what?
When things like this happen all things work together for good to them that love God
It's a great opportunity to teach sound doctrine
because there's a lot of things that I wouldn't even really think about teaching because you just kind of take them for granted or you're
Not really aware of every heresy that's under the Sun
So when these weird heresies pop up it's an opportunity to teach the Bible and to learn something
So here's the garbage that he's tea and I could give you a whole list of weird garbage
He's taught just over the last two months, but let me just give you the biggest heresy that he's teaching. He's basically teaching
that Jesus Christ in
Body soul and spirit is is not fully God
But that rather he has a God part and a human part
And what he taught was that his body is the human part and his soul is the God part
So he's trying to divide this and say like well his body is the human part
That's not the God part and his soul is the God part and then this way he said he said God can't die
God can't die for you. God didn't die for you. No my friend
God died for me because here's what the Bible actually says it says hereby perceive we the love of God
Because he laid down his life for us and we lot ought to lay down our lives for the brethren 1st
John 3 16 says that God laid down his life for us
Now I've had people say this to me before well, how could God die?
But they were always Muslims or Jehovah's Witnesses or atheists
This is one of those cute little questions that they pull out like well
How could Jesus be God if he died because God hey avoid foolish questions
The Bible says he died done. The Bible says he's God the Bible says he died
It's done
But people try to just come up with all these weird ways
To twist the truth and get away from what the Bible taught and so he teaches this doctrine that says well God can't die for
You there's no way God could die
Well, yes, he did because Jesus Christ is God and he died for us
But let me just show you why this is damnable heresy this thing of the God part and the human part
How his body is the human part now stop and think about this. Where did Jesus's body come from?
Did Jesus just sort of teleport onto this earth at age 30 and just kind of beam down from heaven and just start doing his?
Ministry or where did his body come from?
Jesus's body
Came from a natural birth. Jesus actually was born of a virgin, right? So he was physically
Naturally born into this earth, right?
It was it was a born at home like a home birth, right because there's no room in the inn
so they went into the the the the stable and
Mary gave birth right so just a natural birth
It wasn't like and by the way
There is some creepy Catholic text that says that basically Jesus wasn't born naturally that that he basically like
Turned into this mist and then he like re metastasized outside the womb
I'm not kidding. That's what that's what the Roman Catholic because they're they're obsessed with Mary
Remaining a virgin and so they they even have to keep her birth canal just intact
I'm not kidding. So they have this weird doctrine where it was some weird mist or something that re
Reconfigured on the other side folks
We know that's Catholic fairy tales and garbage because we know the truth is that Jesus Christ was
Naturally born into this world. His mother went into labor and gave birth to him. Am I right?
And the reason I say natural birth is because it wasn't a c-section
All right, Joseph wouldn't have been qualified to even perform that so the point is
That Mary gave birth to Jesus and we know that Mary was a virgin. Am I right?
So therefore there's no earthly father to Jesus
It's just Mary
So who's the father then because in order for a child to be born there's got to be a mother and a father
you can't just have one you've got to have both and
The father is God the Father
So Jesus is the Son of God and Jesus Christ
Father is God the Father and his mother is the Virgin Mary
Mary is an earthly woman and
Obviously God the Father is heavenly right and so this union of those two components
Produce the Lord Jesus. Okay. Now, let me do an illustration. Can I use you brother Thomas and your parents do come on up here
All right. Sorry to put you guys on the spot. I should have asked you if it was okay, but come on
Come on up here. Okay, so so here's how this works. Okay, this is a we got this family here is perfect
Okay, so here you hang on to this. Okay, you're gonna hang on to this. All right
Now now look, okay, so we got we got mom and dad here. Okay, and this is the child that they produce
Okay, so they're each going to contribute some DNA here, right? So what do you got there?
He's got a Y chromosome. All right, and she's got the X chromosome. All right, so go ahead and contribute your DNA here
All right, let's go and then boom. Whoa, what do we got here? All right there
You can go ahead and have a seat stay up here Thomas. All right, so so look so here's the deal
He's got DNA
from both mom and dad
Okay, some some traits we could look at him and say oh that reminds me of your dad or that reminds me of your mom
He's got traits from both of his parents in his DNA. Now. Here's the thing. I've got a brother. I've got two sisters
They're not genetically identical to me
Because they got a different mix of genes from mom and dad right now think about this does Thomas here
Does he have a dad part and a mom part?
His body is the mom part and his soul is a dad part
No, because here's the thing every single cell hold this up every single cell in
Thomas's body
contains
traits
Contains the alleles from both mom and dad right certain traits. He got from mom certain traits
He got from dad certain things that are dominant and recessive
But everything that went into him is this super complicated mix from mom and dad
Could it be separated? Is there any way to separate it? Can we say like well your arm that's from dad
You know, yeah, we might say oh you have your father's eyes or something
There are parts of his eye though
Even if let's say he has the same color eye as one parent
But some other component of the eye came from the other parent folks because there's so many genes
We're talking about tens of thousands of genes. We're talking about 2.9
Billion base pairs in his DNA
You're not gonna be able to split this up and carve him up into the mom part and the dad part
Okay. Now here's the thing. Does this DNA right here? Does this have anything to do with his soul?
Is this a soul DNA? Does this have anything to do with his spirit?
What does this have to do with it's his body. This is flesh. This is physical stuff
okay, now
Jesus Christ body is a product of
the Virgin Mary and God the Father you know what that means every
single bit of his DNA
Contains
Divinity in it and here's the thing about DNA every cell in your body has DNA in it every single cell
It's not like oh, well your skin cells have just DNA that has to do with your skin
No, no, the whole genetic code for this guy is in every cell of his body
Which is why he could leave just a little bit of bodily fluid at a crime scene
He could leave a little bit of saliva
Snot sweat and although snot sweat and saliva themselves don't have DNA in them
Every cell in his body has DNA and guess what's in your saliva sweats not a little bit of cells
I mean look when you swab the inside of somebody's cheek, you're not just getting saliva my friend you're getting cheek cells and
those cheek cells contain
DNA right his bones contain DNA his hair follicles contain DNA
Every cell of every organ of his body
I mean
It's just DNA did so here's the thing about this if Jesus Christ is the son of God
And we're not just talking about well. He's spiritually the son of God. He's adopted as the son of it. No no he is
Physically the product of a virgin birth. He's not walking around with some kind of a just you know 23 chromosomes
Good good and have a seat. He's not walking around with with with just you know a half a deck
On his DNA he had a full set of DNA men
Well guess where half of it came from half of it came from God the Father
Half of it came from Mary, and so you know what that makes him a hundred percent God and a hundred percent man
Every cell in his body is human
Every cell in his body is divine his deity because God the Father contributed something to that DNA in
Every single cell is right is it rare sound I'm saying so how can you sit there and carve him up?
Into the God part and the human part and folks. We're just talking about his body alone here
Forget the soul and spirit his body is the product and and look
It's to deny the virgin birth to sit there and say oh his body's just totally human not divine
That's not the God part cuz God can't die. That's just the human part
So what is the virgin birth not a thing? He's just all human no no he's divine. He's deity
every cell of his body is
deity
How could God die? I don't know when you get to hell. Maybe somebody will tell you down there
And
You and all the other idiots who asked that question you guys can all talk about that when you're down burning in hell together
You and your Muslims and atheists and Jehovah's Witnesses can all get together and say well. I still just don't understand how God could die
You know that'll give you something to do in hell
Because let me tell you something the Bible says that God laid down his life for us the Bible says that
Jesus was born of a virgin the Bible says that Jesus is the Son of God and the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ
is God
Manifests in the flesh okay, and so when Jesus died on the cross for us
You know what that is not just an earthly man dying for us
That is the Son of God dying for us that is deity that is God dying on the cross for us
the Lord Jesus Christ is
God now
What do you end up with with this weird doctrine that says the God part human part basically you end up with a Jesus dying?
For you that isn't God
There's nothing new under the Sun because this was taught by famous oneness
Pentecostal William Branham in the 20th century that the man who died on the cross
Was not divine because that was just the man Jesus you know the oneness Pentecostals
Don't they always separate the man Jesus from you know the deity also it goes back even further
To a false teaching called adoptionistic Gnosticism
Which taught that basically Jesus of Nazareth is a human being and then the Christ spirit came upon him and then
He became deity and then it left him on the cross or whatever now look obviously those are different heresies than this
But you know what it's just repackaging of the same garbage
Let me tell you something the Jesus who died on the cross for me was God
So this this doctrine that says the God part in the human part it makes no sense okay now
He taught and said well the part
That went to hell
For three days and three nights is the God part that wasn't the human part because the human parts is buried in the tomb
Because he's separating the body and the soul as that but well here's the stupid thing about that
What does the Bible say about Jesus being in the heart of the earth it says the Son of Man?
Shall be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth
Well, let me ask you something. What does the term Son of Man even mean?
What is the word if you were to put the term Son of Man into our everyday vernacular?
What would you say human right? Son of Man means human because everything brings forth after its own kind
So the Bible says the Son of Man is
Three days and three nights in the heart of the earth so riddle me this if the human part
Didn't go to hell then then how come it says the Son of Man is three days and three nights in the heart of the earth
Because Jesus Christ is 100% man 100% God no matter where he goes no matter what he does
Whether we're talking about his body soul or spirit we're talking about the man Christ Jesus and by the way Jesus is still a man right now
It's not like well he used to be a man well
He is one right now because the Bible says there's one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus
Right the Son of Man which is in heaven and by the way in the Old Testament
When we have Old Testament appearances of Christ or Christophanies, what do we see we see a man?
Man wrestled with Jacob a man showed up at Abraham's tent door etc
And so we see here that Jesus Christ is 100% man 100% God now you you would expect this doctrine to be just basic
Baptist doctrine that everybody would fully believe and understand you know the fact that Jesus Christ is basically God and man I
Mean that's that's isn't that the main thing about Jesus is
That he's basically God and man both
He's both human and divine. I mean that's the miracle of Jesus and
And so to get up and teeth but but here's the thing when you devote your ministry
to attacking good men of God
You know what you're gonna end up preaching heresy
If you're just setting yourself up to let's preach against everything that faithful word Baptist teaches
Let's preach against everything that the new IFP stands for well
You know what it's just gonna be heresy after errors and let me just say for the record
I don't believe that anybody who believes this doctrine is saved
You know if somebody is gonna sit there and teach that Jesus's flesh is
Just the human part. That's not the God part. You know what they're not even saved because I don't even think anybody's that stupid
I think that that is just evil and wicked and it's damnable heresy, and it's an attack on the deity of Christ
It's an attack on who our Savior actually is but not only that let me give you some of the other bizarre things
That he said he also said this he said well. It's the God part of Jesus could die
Then you know
Why couldn't he die again?
We'd have to worry about him dying again
Folks
Can we say confounded can you say confusion?
Folks let me explain to you why I don't have to worry about Jesus dying again because Jesus said this he said behold
I'm he that liveth and
I was dead and behold. I'm alive forevermore Amen and have the keys of hell and of death
You know what when Jesus says I'm alive forevermore. You know what that I'm not worried about
If he's gonna die again because I'm not an idiot and because I don't reject the Word of God and because I don't dream up
These damnable heresies because I want to separate my cult from everyone in normal Christianity by teaching bizarre
Heresy okay, let me explain something to you when Jesus said I'm alive forevermore and when the Bible says that Jesus
liveth to die no more
Death hath no more dominion over him. Well, you know what?
Okay, I'm done
That's all I needed to hear because I understand that Jesus died on the cross for my sins
He was buried and three days later. He rose again from the dead and it's never gonna happen again
You know reminds me of the guy who didn't know anything about the Bible and he started reading Matthew and they finished Matthew started reading
Mark and he got confused and said wait a minute. How many times did Jesus come to earth?
You know, he didn't
He didn't realize that it was a retelling of the same thing
But but the you know
The point is that obviously Jesus Christ died once and for him to make such a stupid point
I didn't know well, we know he's not gonna die again
Ah
You know because he said he's not gonna die again
But guess what? He did die the first time
he died and
He didn't just kind of fake it or or
Quasi die or sort of die he died
You know and I think part of the reason why God had him be dead for three days and three nights is just to prove
He's dead
You know just that there'd be no doubt because if it was just a few hours and then he resurrected
People could say hey, wait a minute. I think he was just
Unconscious. I think he's just resuscitated
But obviously the fact that he was dead for days
He's buried not only that but remember the soldier stabbed him with a spear
Just to make sure and all the blood and water gushed out and so it was a sure thing that Jesus died
He said well, I was just a human part that died
And you know what? I thought this is the craziest thing I'd ever heard except then
I
Saw that there's other people online teaching this
There were other websites teaching. Oh, it was only the human part that died because God can't die this it was on this carm
Or something the Christian apologetic project and you know part of the problem with some of these apologetics types
Is that they they spend way too much time dealing with foolish questions?
You know the Bible tells us to avoid
Oppositions of science so-called and the Bible tells us to avoid
Foolish questions, but what we have is people in the apologetics world who spend their time
Trying to find an answer for every foolish question and trying to debunk every single opposition of science falsely
So-called and this is not what we're called to do because when you sit there and want to just ponder well
How can God I don't know. Hey, I just say to that avoid foolish questions
The Bible says now now obviously the Holy Spirit didn't die God the Father didn't die
but Jesus did die and Jesus is God because
Basically God is made up of Father Son and Holy Ghost and Jesus is God
There's no question about that. The Bible says God was manifest in the flesh
The Bible says in the beginning was the word the word was with God the word was God, you know
The Bible is crystal clear on that
And so these are foolish questions another person, you know, I was talking about this
I made a video about this that I put on YouTube and
Some kind of a Catholic or Protestant came out of the woodwork and here's what he said
He said okay Pastor Anderson. You're definitely right about this
But if you're acknowledging that Jesus is a hundred percent God and a hundred percent man
Then that means we need to be calling Mary the mother of God
You know cuz there's not it's not like there's a God part and a human part
But here's the thing. Guess what there actually is a God part in a human part
Now Jesus doesn't have a God part in a human part Thomas is just Thomas
He doesn't have a mom part and a dad part. He's just Thomas, right?
But here's the thing though. His dad contributed something and his mom contributes
Well, guess what Mary contributed do you think she contributed the God part
Did she contribute deity? No, in fact the part that Mary contributed was a hundred percent human because guess what?
Mary isn't God
Mary's not God and Mary's DNA is not some kind of a divine
Deified and of course the Roman Catholics many of them think that Mary was totally sinless
Which is a crazy unbiblical doctrine
No, the part that Mary contributed was a human part
The part that God contributed is the divine part, but hey as soon as that conception takes place
There's no more God part a human part
There's just Jesus at that point and every cell of his body is both
Does everybody see the difference there? But not only that
Let's let's give it to this guy. Okay
Obviously Mary is the mother of Jesus. We all agree with that, right?
Of course Mary's the mother of Jesus because of the fact that number one she contributed half the DNA and number two
She gave birth to him
So Mary's the mother of Jesus and Jesus is God
So therefore let's call her the mother of God
Here's here's why I'm not gonna call her the mother of God even though technically that would be true using that logic
Because we could use that same logic to say this
Joseph is the stepfather of Jesus
So he's the stepfather of God
God's stepdad now should we start a new doctrine where we start referring to Joseph as God's stepdad?
You'd say that's a dumb thing to call or why don't we call the author of the book of Jude the brother of God?
James brother of God Jude brother God, but I'll take it a step further
Jesus said who is my mother
Who are my brethren?
Whosoever
Doeth the will of my father which is in heaven the same as my mother and sister and brother
You know what? That means every faithful Christian later lady. We could call her the mother of God
Because Jesus said whoever does the will of my father was ever so you are the mother of God
You are the mother of God
You are the mother of God just mother of God mother of God mother of God
Does anybody think that that makes any sense to start using that term?
Is there any benefit to calling Christian women mother of God is
There any theological benefit to calling Joseph the parent of God
Stepdad of God, is there any theological benefit to that?
Although these are all technically true, you know, the Bible talks about Jesus parents in Luke chapter 2
He's clearly a stepdad step by hail
Joseph stepdad of God
The Lord is with thee it makes no sense
Everybody see what I'm saying
Folks
Why would I call?
Mary the mother of God when there are a billion people
Worshipping Mary which the Bible condemns and I did a whole sermon on this a while back called worshiping Mary's a sin
Let me give you some scripture on this. First of all, if Mary is so important that we should be just
Quasi deifying her and praying to God through Mary and
Worshipping Mary and having statues of Mary and making a big deal about Mary and giving her this title mother of God
Which although technically true is a is a foolish title. That should not be you the Bible doesn't use it
So why would I use it when it's misleading?
Even though look I could say a lot of things that are technically true, but they're still misleading
I could say my wife is the mother of God
And I could use logic to prove that true. That's still a dumb thing to say, isn't it?
No, but she's special I mean she was the chosen vessel, okay
Well riddle me this if Mary's so important then explain to me why Mary is mentioned so little in the Bible explain that
Explain to me why we could give a huge list of characters that are mentioned more than Mary. I
Don't have the list in front of me
But in that sermon that I did I had a list of people I mean David's mentioned a lot more than Mary
Moses has mentioned a lot more than Mary guys like Elijah and Elisha are mentioned a lot
I mean look look at the epistles of Paul
Where does he talk about Mary is he just is it in Romans? It's all about Mary 1st Corinthians. Let's talk Mary
2nd Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians, let's talk Mary Mary Mary, you know, there are some mentions of him being born of a woman
Well, why don't you say he was born of the special Mary mother of God no, he's born of a woman a woman a
Woman and you know, let me ask you this if Mary's so important then how come when they told Jesus?
Oh your mother stands without desiring to speak with you. He said well, who is my mother?
Whosoever doeth the will of my father which is heaven the same as my mother and sister and brother
Notice what he didn't say the same as my father. Did he say that?
Did he say whosoever does the will of my father with seven the same as my muster and mother and sister and brother and father
Is that what he said? No, he only said mother
referring to older women
Sister younger women brother referring to all men because guess what his father's pretty distinct
God the Father
We're never gonna be on that level with God the Father are we but can you be on the level with Mary?
Well, you know, but the Bible says blessed art thou among women, well, you know what the Bible said to JL in judges
blessed above women
So JL
Got a bigger
title
It back in judges chapter 5 then Mary gets so Oh blessed among women Wow
Okay. Wow. So what blessed among women lots of women are blessed among women. That's what the among women part means
There's a bunch of other women that are blessed too and JL was blessed above women
Because she put a tent spike and hammered it through Cicero's head and most women don't do that
They wouldn't do stuff like that. I mean that's like a warrior
That's not what you'd expect from the weaker gender, all right
But that's what she did. So so the point is
Elevating Mary is
Something that the Bible is against there was a woman who yells out in the book of Luke and says
blessed is the womb that bear thee and the paps which thou has sucked and
Everybody's like, huh?
But that's your first Roman Catholic in the Bible
Blessed is the womb that bear thee in the paps which thou has sucked and you know what the next word is, but
but Jesus said
But
Jesus not like and Jesus said amen. Yeah
Blessed be those paps blessed be that womb. He said but Jesus said
Yea, rather
Blessed is he that here at the will of God and do with it
So, you know what rather means what does rather mean? What if I said I'd rather go to Chipotle than Panda Express
What does that mean it means I want to go there more
Rather is is more right if I'd rather do this. I have more desire to do that
Does everybody understand so guess who's mo blessed?
Guess who's more blessed than Mary
Anyone who hears the will of God and does he says yea rather blessed is he that do it the will of God here at the
Well gutter, but all of the reformers they all exalted me. They were all too Catholic
They didn't reform enough
That's why their slogan is semper reform ando always reforming and I'm like, yeah keep going guys
Keep on reform ando people cuz you're not there yet. If you're still calling Mary the mother of God
You need a little more Reformation there, buddy
Because you're a little too pagan there with your goddess
Female deity that you're praying to because there's one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus
And you know what they call Mary the mediatrix
Sorry, there's only one mediator and it's the man Christ Jesus Mary's not the mediator
so worshiping Mary is condemned a woman tries to just give Mary a shout-out and
Jesus like rad no
But rather blessed is he that here at the will of God and does it people try to get him to defer to mom?
Hey your mom's outside. He's like I'm not done
This is my mother right here sitting in the front row
Because whoever does the will of my father which is in heaven the same as my mother and sister and brother
That's what the Bible actually teaches my friend
Okay
Not only that but Jesus first miracle is when he turns the water into wine at Cana and this guy who was
Trying to get me to embrace this term mother of God
He said well, what about the fact that Jesus first miracle was done at the request of Mary, okay
But you forgot to actually read the story
Where Mary says to Jesus they have no wine and he says woman
What have I to do with thee
Mine hours not yet come and let me tell you something woman. What have I to do with thee? That's not
Deference
That's not being submissive and deferential now
Look, Jesus did submit to his mom and dad when he was a child
the Bible says that he went home when he was 12 years old and he was subject unto
Joseph and Mary of course Joseph's not his father, but he's the step-parent or whatever you want to call him
but he went home and submitted to
Mary and Joseph he treated Joseph as an authority
He treated Mary as an authority even though he's the god of the universe, right?
But he submitted unto them because he's trying to teach children to obey their parents. So he's modeling that way
Okay
So but when he's an adult when he's doing his ministry
you know Mary's not in charge anymore Mary's not the boss when he's 30 years old and he's a preacher of the Word of God and
He is in his own ministry
So he says to her woman
What have I to do with thee and look what have I to do with thee?
Look up that phrase in Scripture
You know, it's it's that's a rebuke
That's a rebuke that's used, you know throughout scriptures in the Old Testament New Testament
What have I to do with you, you know Dave, I think David correct me if I'm wrong
But I think David said, you know, what do I have to do with these sons of Zara?
Why you guys are too hard for me. You guys are too rough. You know, what have I to do with you?
But but it's something that's used in Scripture and it's not positive. It's it's a rebuff
Okay
Just like he rebuffed them when they were standing outside
Wanting to talk to him when he's in the middle of teaching the Word of God and he did not interrupt his sermon to go
Running to mommy and and and his brothers but rather he told them no
This is my mother and brethren right here that I'm preaching to and he you know asserted himself there
So there's there's so much evidence showing this and then here's the thing. What is Mary's response when Jesus says woman?
What have I to do with thee mine hours not yet come?
What's Mary's response to that?
Mary says to the servants whatsoever. He saith unto you do it
So she basically just takes herself out of the equation and just says look
whatever he tells you to do do it like what it you know, she's basically putting the ball back in his court and
Basically putting him back in his rightful place that he's in charge. He's in the driver's seat. He's gonna do what he wants to do
She's not gonna tell him what to do now
If you're gonna take that verse and make it seem like oh, well Mary is telling Jesus what to do
You need to read the story again, okay
She brings up something and Jesus rebuffs her and then he ends up doing it his way
you know and and so there's a lot of evidence and you want to know a book that mentions Mary more than the Bible and
And by the way, this book is much shorter than the Bible but the Quran the Quran is much shorter than the Bible
Did you know the Quran mentions Mary more than the New Testament does?
Even though the New Testaments considerably longer why because Mary is a very minor character in the New Testament
She does not play a major role
She was obviously a very nice lady. She was a godly Christian lady, but you know what?
She could have been someone else easily because you know what? She's just a woman
Nothing special about her she
Just got picked by grace to do it and she was really thankful
Wow me really because you know, she didn't act like well, yeah, I mean I'm sinless after all
Folks the Protestants are sometimes just hanging on to too much Catholic stuff
You know, you're not you're never gonna walk away from the Bible with a veneration for Mary
Nobody reads the Bible and just walks away saying well, it's about Mary, you know
Mary's kind of a big deal. You're not gonna think that
Okay, so the bottom line is
Jesus is
100% God and 100% men. Does that make Mary the mother of God?
technically speaking but that's a foolish term that should not be used because it's misleading and confusing and
Also just to review
You know when we say there's no God part and no human part to Jesus
That's true because obviously Jesus is a hundred percent God hundred percent man
But does that not mean though that there was a human part contributed and a God part contributed once we get to Jesus though
It's inseparable. Just like there was a
Raymond Anderson part that went into me, right?
There's the Raymond part and the Susie part that came into me, but guess what now that I'm me. I
Have my dad's DNA and my mom's DNA in every cell of my body and I can't just be like, you know
What you're not my dad anymore, so I'm gonna get a procedure done and just get rid of every
You know every gene that you contributed
and
By the way, that's why I can't lose my salvation either because you know what?
Spiritually speaking. I'm a child of God and just like I couldn't take my physical dad's DNA out of my body
Guess what God's DNA is spiritually in me
I'm a child of God and nothing can change that because I've been born again
And I'm a child of God
I've been begotten by God and so because I've been begotten again unto a lively hope because I've been begotten
You know what? I'm saved eternally secure
I'm a child of God and it's it's like my spiritual DNA is to be a child of God
so these guys, you know beware of
These divers and strange doctrines and look folks. This guy has taught
That Jesus has a God part and a human part his body's the human part his soul's the God part
Folks, we just destroyed that with the virgin birth case closed
Okay, then he's sitting there and teaching. Well, if so, we'd have to you know, if God could die
We'd have to worry about him dying again
Yeah, if you if you don't believe the Bible if you think God's a liar when he said he's never gonna die again
Then I guess you would worry about that
Okay, not only that but he also taught this false teacher damnable heretic
He taught recently that Judas Iscariot got more people saved than any other disciple
Folks you can't even make this stuff up
Because he says he's so zealous to prove that unsaved people can win people to Christ
Folks, how can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit?
Well
Folks a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit a good tree can't bring forth evil fruit
Everything brings forth after its own kind and the Bible says the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life
And he that win its souls is wise
Some bring for 30 some 60 some 100. What is the fruit of the apple tree apples?
What's the fruit of the orange tree oranges? What's the fruit of the Christian more Christians now?
Obviously the Bible uses the word fruit in other places talking about the fruit of our lips, you know what we say or just other
Context where fruit is used
But when it comes to the fact that a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit an evil tree cannot bring forth good fruit
What kind of fruit are we talking about there? We have to be talking about winning people to Christ and let me tell you why
Because if we were just talking about stuff you say
Then you'd basically be saying that a good Christian could never say anything bad
You believe that?
Because guess what good Christians say bad things because the Bible says the tongue can no man tamed
it's an unruly evil full of deadly poison if anybody can bridle the tongue the same as a perfect man and
Able to bridle the whole body because he says that the tongue can no man tamed
Nobody goes through life without ever saying something stupid or saying something wrong
So if the Bible says that the good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit
We're not just talking about what you say and let me ask this can bad people say the right things all day long
You don't think false prophets will say all the right things and pretend that they believe like us. Hmm
I'm thinking of I'm trying to think of an example of somebody who would pretend for years that they believe like us and then all
Of a sudden turn around and start preaching the opposite of everything that we stand for and that they pretended to stand for for years
So I can't think of any examples. But but the point is
That
Obviously wicked people could talk the talk say the right things
Creep in that's how look I'm sure Judas said a lot of the right things or else
How did he creep in and fool everybody?
Because he's saying the right things but here's what an unsaved person can't do an unsaved person can't win someone to Christ
Only a saved person can win someone to Christ because you know what the Apostle Paul said about
His converts like Onesimus he said I begat Onesimus in my bonds
He talked about begetting the Galatians
He talked about Timothy being his son in the faith Titus being his son in the faith folks
When you talk about winning someone to Christ as begetting them
Okay, that's reproduction and everything brings forth after its own kind. So how can the non-christian beget a Christian?
How can the false prophet beget a saved Christian
They can't because you don't gather
Grapes of thorns or figs of thistles now is Judas a thistle is Judas a thorn?
Yeah, you're not gonna be gathering good fruit from that guy
You're not gonna be gathering things and thistles, you know last time I checked it would have been better for Judas if he'd never been
born
He wasn't some mega soul winner
But what kind of a reprobate mind even comes up with something that stupid how warped and weird do you have to be to?
Get up and say well, I can't prove this from scripture
But I just personally believe that Judas Iscariot got the most people saved. Well, what demon revealed that to you?
Since you didn't get it from the Bible
What demonic influence told you what little birdie whispered that in your ear?
Where'd you even get that? Oh and then another here's another one of his wonderful teachings from the last few months. Nobody burns in hell
Because if they burned in hell they'd bad mean they'd burn up
Folks you ever heard of the burning bush
Ever heard of the burning bush
Remember what Moses turned aside to see the burning bush. Why did he turn aside to see the burning bush?
Because he said I want to see why the bush is burned but it's not consumed
The whole miracle of the burning bush is that it keeps burning and it's never consumed
I remember a guy asked me this one time I was good. I was giving a guy the gospel
And he said well if people go to hell and they're burning how can they just keep burning wouldn't they burn up and I said to him
I said well here. Let me show you the burning bush
And I said see this is what God could do because God's God
Because it's supernatural look folks hell is a supernatural place
If hell were a natural place, yeah, you'd be cooked fast
Hell is a supernatural place now. I'm not saying that hell isn't a real place. Hell is real. It's it's very real
It's very literal, but it's super natural. Guess what else was supernatural the burning bush
The burning bush was not a normal bush
Okay, so the burning bush was special because it burned and here's the thing
Moses he looked out across the desert and he saw that bush burning
And that probably wasn't a huge deal to him because he's seen stuff burn before
But then what happened was a little bit later. He looked again and it was still burning
And then he looked again a little bit later and it's still burning he's saying wait a minute
You know he's going through he's doing the math he's doing the chemistry
It's not computing why is this bush just keep on burning
You know I got to go see this site. This is a miracle. This is something marvelous
And so then you know it was probably it was probably very far off in the distance that he saw this bush burning
You know when you read the story, that's the picture that you get and so then he had to travel to
The source of this and when he gets there then of course the angel of the Lord speaks to him out of the burning bush
And tells him put off thy shoes from off thy feet for the place where on thou standest this holy ground
So the Lord spoke to Moses from the burning bush
Now look if God can make a bush burn just perpetually and not be consumed
Don't you think God can cause their worm to die not and the fire not to be quenched
And for people to burn and you know what it's not that you know people burning in hell is like a made up doctrine
The Bible teaches that people burn in hell
The Bible teaches that hell is fire flaming fire and it talks about everlasting burnings
That's an exact quote who shall dwell with everlasting burnings right and this isn't a sermon about hell
So I'm not gonna sit here and go through with you 50 different scriptures on the fact that people burn in hell
Or how about the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever but Manly Perry says that that's not real smoke
That's not literal smoke
That's just there. It's it's a it's just a picture of them yelling
Sort of like the prayers of the Saints are like incense. Well, you know, the smoke is just the is just the yelling
So people don't burn in hell
God part in the Jesus part. God can't die. You know, I'm trying you know, what do all these things have in common?
What do they have? Oh did Jehovah's Witnesses?
The Jehovah's Witnesses is what they all have in common, right? Because the Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe people burn in hell
The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God can't die and is it interesting how Manly Perry's art is so powerful
God can't die and is it interesting how Manly Perry's always telling us about all the wonderful Jehovah's Witnesses in his church
That are ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, ex-Jehovah's Witnesses
They went out witnessing and teaching lies and damning people for 20 years but now they're members of his church
Well, you know, isn't it interesting how much Jehovah's Witness doctrine he's teaching
That's never even been heard of in any Baptist church
Because look, every Baptist church that I've ever set footed and I've been to a lot of churches my friend
When I was growing up, we moved a few times and we tried different churches and I've been to a bunch of churches
And as a pastor, I've traveled and visited churches
When I was in Bible college, I traveled and visited churches
I used to work on the road and go to different churches on Wednesday nights
I've been to a lot of Baptist churches
Every single one of them taught that people burn in hell
Every single one of them taught that the smoke of their torment has ended up forever and ever
Every single one of them taught that Jesus was 100% man, 100% God
And I've never heard anybody say that Judas, the son of perdition, the traitor
Who at the very beginning of Jesus' ministry said, one of you is a devil
In John chapter 6
None of them has ever said that he was a big time soul winner that got a whole bunch of people saved
And in fact, he won more people to Christ than anybody, can't prove it
Am I missing one of his weirdo heresies?
Somebody help me out
When are you?
Yeah, but that's tied in with this other stuff
Because he said nobody burns in hell
But I feel like I'm missing one here
Let's see
Well, that's not important
That was doofus, but that's not important
You know, the other thing that I heard was that
He's teaching, oh yeah, he's teaching
You don't have to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved
Isn't it funny how it's just one thing after another with these people
One thing after another with these people
You know, it's like, but you know what it is?
It's that God's confusing them
God is confounding them
And God is showing their true colors to everyone
You know, the Bible says
Now as Janus and Jambres withstood Moses
So do these also resist the truth
Men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith
But they shall proceed no further
For their folly shall be manifest unto all men as theirs also was
Look down at your Bible there in Psalm 71
Oh, we're talking about Psalm 71 tonight
Make no mistake
Look at verse 13
It says, let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt
And you know what?
That's what's happening to him right now
Everybody's seeing what he is
He's being exposed for the heretic false teacher
Weirdo cult leader
Who wanted to come in and draw away disciples after himself
Teaching perverse things
Drawing away disciples after him
Not people that he reached
But he takes from people that other people reach
And just tries to subvert them
But you know what?
His folly is being made manifest unto all men
As theirs also was
And he is now being filled with reproach and dishonor
Because God has confounded him and confused him
And basically just fried his brain
It's like, you know, this is your brain
This is your brain on drugs
This is your brain on heresy
You know, God will warp people's minds
And folks, it's bizarre to me
That anybody would still be following this guy
Or listening to this guy
But there's always going to be a few people
That you can get to believe anything
I mean, look online
People believe everything
But folks, this is not sound doctrine
And the good thing is
He's been exposed to any normal person
Any normal person is going to say
Whoa, this is not kosher
There's something rotten in Denmark
This is not normal
Okay
And so we have to understand
That when we have these false prophets
The Janus and Jambres
When we have people like these guys in Psalm 71
That are seeking David's hurt
They're just maliciously
After a man of God
And again, I'm not trying to say that I'm anything special
I'm not special
I'm just a Baptist pastor
I am just a Baptist pastor
Is what I am
Nothing special
Because you know what
If I were any other Baptist pastor
That were just soul winning
And preaching the gospel
And preaching the Bible week after week
You know what
God would protect me no matter what
Because anybody who's serving God
Anybody who preaches the word
Anybody who's out soul winning
Has God's protection
And that's why the Bible says
In this passage here
Over and over again
How God's going to protect David
And as his youth
It says in verse 6
By thee have I been holding up from the womb
Thou art he that took me out
Of my mother's bowels
My praise shall be continually of thee
And the theme of this Psalm
He talks a lot about being a baby
And being a child
And he talks a lot about being old and gray headed
And you know he's basically saying
God's protecting him the whole way through
God's protecting him
God is confounding his enemies
And putting them to shame
And putting the crap out of them
But he himself
He says don't put me to confusion Lord
You know I don't want to be confounded
Because losing your mind
Is the worst thing that can happen
And you know what
That's what Manly Perry is being punished with right now
Is losing his mind
That's why he's just spewing out
Stupid doctrine after stupid doctrine
In rapid succession
It's a punishment from God
It is a punishment from God
And it's to just show everyone
Look folks
This is who you're dealing with
And I want to say one last thing about this piece of work
Is that
You know him and his church members
Over the last few months
As people and I haven't even been the one
Really calling out this heresy
Is mainly Jonathan Shelley
Pastor in Texas
That's been calling out this heresy
The most over the last few months
But here's what everybody has been saying
To his defense is
You know
You're unloving
You're so hateful
And I like how Manly Perry's just like
You know I'm so glad I'm not in the new IFB
Because it's become so hateful
It's like hey idiot we were declared a hate group
Before you ever even showed up
We got a plaque back there to prove it
The SPLC declared us a hate group
Before you
It's like oh they've become so hateful
We've always hated sin
We've always hated false prophets
We've always hated heresy
We've always
Hey David said
I love the word of God
Thy word's pure
And I'm paraphrasing but he said
Therefore I hate every false way
Why?
Because we love God
We love the Bible
Of course we hate heresy
And false teaching
And wickedness
You know the Lord hates lying lips
And those who sow discord among brother
And garbage from the Bible
They're teaching lies
They can't stand up to scrutiny
So it's just like well you guys aren't loving
You guys don't have grace
But here's my question
Since Manly Perry's so loving
And his church is so gracious
And they want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt
And they get so
You know we're tired of y'all
Reprobating everyone
Putting good men in hell
I've never put anyone in hell
I wish I had that power
What a blessing
No I'm just kidding
But the point is I
Put ol' creepy Joe in there tomorrow
But anyway that's another story
And Kamala the hoe
But here's the thing
But folks here's the thing about that
Since he's got so much love
And so much grace oozing out of every pore
Where was his love, grace, and benefit of the doubt
For my friend Pastor Dane Johanson
Why did he reprobate him
Put him in hell
Where was the benefit of the doubt then
For somebody who I spent hours and hours out soul winning with
Somebody who is sound on the gospel
Although not exactly our brand of independent Baptist
He's still an independent Baptist
And doctrinally sound on the gospel
Even though we aren't eye to eye on everything
Where was the grace and the love
That's called hypocrisy
So people can get up and teach the worst damnable heresy
We call it out and say
You're denying the deity of Jesus Christ
And that's being unloving
Or calling people out for teaching works based salvation clearly
And we're bad
But then it's funny how he can turn around
And not only condemn my friend and say that he's not saved
But to then say that I'm wicked for even being friends with him
Like I can't be friends with someone
That he thinks isn't saved
Folks do you see the irony in that
So always beware of these people
They can't show you what the bible says
They can't prove it to you from scripture
All they can do is come at you with this holier than thou
I'm so loving
I'm so gracious
I'm so kind
You're so mean and bad and hateful
And that's all that they can come at you with
Because they're wrong
And that's why I like what brother Heil said
He said I'd rather do right wrongly than wrong rightly
Oh you're so loving as you teach lies
Oh you're so sweet about your damnable heresy
Oh you're so sweet about drawing away disciples after yourself and starting a cult
But oh oh oh
The new IFB is so mean spirited as they preach the truth
And the gospel
And sound doctrine
And actually have good fruit
Actually have something to show for it
Of actual fruit
So be not deceived my friend
By these people
And you know what
Take comfort in the fact that every false prophet will be exposed
Because their folly will be made manifest unto all men
It's what the bible promises
And you know what
If you go out and live a life of sin
Beware of the worst possible punishment
God striking you with astonishment of heart
Confusion
And you know what
Let me say this
No matter what you're going through
If you're saved tonight
And you have your mental faculties
You're in good shape
Amen
You got the two most important things
You got salvation and you got your brain
Perry's got neither
You're in good shape
Let's bow your heads and have a word of prayer
Father we thank you so much for your word Lord
And we thank you so much for the miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ
Lord
It's so fun to talk about Jesus
And think about Jesus being born
And to think about the miracle of Jesus being the son of God
And the son of man
And the virgin birth Lord
It's a really fun subject Lord
Because it's the greatest story ever told
We're so thankful
For our savior Jesus
And Lord may they all be confounded and put to confusion
That would tamper with
And pollute
The doctrines of Christ Lord
We know that those who don't abide in the doctrine of Christ
Don't have God
And so Lord I just pray that you would confound and put to confusion
The enemies of the gospel Lord
And Lord I pray that all of your people
Would have a solid understanding
Of right biblical doctrine
About who our savior Jesus is
And it's in his name that we pray
Amen
Let's take our psalms
And turn to number 414
Hymn number 414
Stand up stand up for Jesus
It is the other version
So if you know it sing it out
Number 414
Sing it out on this verse
Stand up stand up for Jesus
These soldiers of the cross
Live by his royal banner
It must not suffer loss
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed
Stand up for Jesus
These soldiers of the cross
Live by his royal banner
It must not, it must not suffer loss
Stand up stand up for Jesus
The trumpet call obey
For to the mighty conflict in this his glorious day
Be that our men now serve him
Against unnumbered foes
Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose
Stand up for Jesus
These soldiers of the cross
Live by his royal banner
It must not, it must not suffer loss
Stand up stand up for Jesus
And in his strength alone
The arm of flesh will fail
You need dare not trust your own
Put on the gospel armor
Each was put on with prayer
Where duty calls for danger
He never want to fare
Stand up for Jesus
These soldiers of the cross
Live by his royal banner
It must not, it must not suffer loss
Stand up stand up for Jesus
The strife will not be long
This day the noise of battle
The next the victor's song
To him that overcometh
A crown of white shall be
He with the king of glory
Shall reign eternally
Stand up stand up for Jesus
These soldiers of the cross
Live by his royal banner
It must not, it must not suffer loss
Make good scenes. Hi George Smith
