Almighty Father thank you for this opportunity to come here today and to
hear your word be preached please bless pastor please bless the message open our
hearts and our ears to your words and help us keep distractions to a minimum
in Jesus name we pray amen amen all right well we're there in 1st Peter
chapter number 3 and I'd like to bring your attention down to just one verse
and we've already seen it it was in our bulletin verse number 15 1st Peter
chapter 3 and verse number 15 the Bible says but sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts and here's a part that I want to you for you to look at it says and be
ready see those words there be ready always to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear
and the Bible tells us that we are to be ready when people question us about
certain things and certain doctrines and things that we believe we are to be
ready to give an answer and you know something that I've that I I've learned
since we've had these protesters out here and I've been getting a lot of
voicemails and emails by so-called Christians and I use the term very
loosely but I've been something I've learned and I already knew this but it's
just become even more apparent is that there are a lot of Christians out there
who just believe a lot of stupid things and excuse excuse my you know the word
stupid there you may not like that word now I don't I can use a Bible word like
brood or something like that but um and it's not that and and really I'm not
upset at Christians I'm more upset at pastors because a lot of times Christians
believe stupid things because they've been taught stupid things and and maybe
you even been taught some things that are not really found in Scripture and I
I've been getting a lot of calls and people will throw out these these things
you know and they'll say well what about this and what about that in regards to
our position and the protests and all these things and this morning I want to
just try to debunk some of those things and I want to try to help teach you
because some of you are being asked these questions you have stupid
Christian friends who are asking you stupid questions and and you know
they're wrong but maybe you're not exactly sure how to answer and I want to
try to help you answer that this morning I want to give you really the
sermon is entitled this morning stupid things that Christians believe and I
don't know how else to title it or Alice to say and I'm not trying to be
offensive to you but I want to try to help you understand that a lot of the
things that are being taught today are just not found in Scripture they're not
what the Bible says now here's the thing I'll be honest with you you can't cover
all the stupid things Christians believe in one sermon okay this could be like a
series and maybe it will be a series I don't know we'll see how I feel next
week but I want to give you just some some real so it I'm just I would
encourage you to take notes write these statements down and write down the
references go to the references because some of you are being asked these
questions and I want to help you be able to have be ready always to give an
answer to every man that asked with you a reason of the hope that is in you and
some of you being asked questions by Christians who just don't read the Bible
who just don't know the Bible and I want to try to help you with that this
morning okay here's here's the the first one and they're not in any particular
order for any reason they're just it's just how I had to go with it but here's
something that keeps that people keep throwing at me is isn't all sin equal
you know and they'll say like doesn't the Bible teach that all sin is equal
let me make this statement nowhere in the Bible does the Bible ever teach that
all sin is equal in fact the the the closest thing that they can come to it
is found in James chapter number two and I want you to let's look at it together
you're there in 1st Peter if you go one back one book over you're gonna go
to James go to James chapter number two and let's look at the passage that
people refer to and in order to say like isn't all sin equal because when we get
up and we preach against the sodomite agenda today and people say like well
you guys are just making too big of a deal about it isn't all sin equal you
know isn't the sin of sodomy just like any other sin and here's the thing no
the answer is no all sin is not equal the Bible doesn't teach that and let me
start by going to the verse that people like to use to try to prove that and
show you how the Bible doesn't teach that James chapter 2 look at verse
number 10 notice what the Bible says for whosoever shall keep the whole law and
yet offend in one point he is guilty of all now this verse people will take this
verse and say see if you break the law at any point it's all the same now hold
on a second that's not what it says show me in this verse where God says all sin
is equal all sin is the same here's what it says for whosoever shall keep the
whole law he's saying if you think you're going to get to heaven by keeping
the entire law and yet you offend in one point he says you break God's law he
says here's what he's saying it doesn't matter which point you break God's law
at you become guilty of all you say well why is that look at verse 11 for he that
said do not commit adultery said also do not kill now if thou commit no adultery
yet if thou kill thou art become a transgressor of the law here's what he's
saying the same God who said thou shalt not bear false witness is the same God
that said thou shalt not kill said the same God that said thou shall not commit
adultery is the is the same God that said thou shall not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain he's saying it's it's it doesn't matter where you break
God's law you're sinning and transgressing against the same God and
here's all this verse is teaching is that any sin is enough to send you to
help no one's good enough to go you can say well i'm a pretty good person all
i've ever done my whole entire life all i've ever done is i told one lie and
here's the thing that's enough to send you to hell that's what this verse is
teaching that's what this verse is is is is showing us you know show me where in
this passage you can make the word say that the bible is teaching that all sin
is equal you can't find it i mean let's read it for whosoever shall keep the
whole lot yet offend the one point he is guilty of all am i missing something
there what does it say and by the way all sins the same it doesn't say that it
just says if you break it at any point it's like if you broke it at any other
point because you're sinning against the same God you're guilty of all for he
that said do not commit adultery said also do not kill now here's why this is
important all right uh go with me to the book of of john in in the new testament
there you got matthew mark luke john you say well is it is it that big of a deal
if people say that all sin is equal it's a huge deal and here's why
if we begin to teach that all sin is equal we are basically calling the lord
jesus christ a liar you say why is that because jesus taught the exact opposite
jesus did never taught that also was equal in fact he taught the opposite let me show it to you
matthew mark luke john if you can find john chapter number 19 and look at verse number 10
and look so you need to write these statements down you need to write these references down
if you say maybe you're here this morning you say well i think all sin is equal i'm not mad at you
i'm not against you i'm not your enemy but look don't just ignore these verses you got to answer
these verses because this is what i've noticed people i'll preach sermons like the one last week
about the law and then people are just like they they completely ignore everything i said and
they're like what about this one thing and it's like no no you know i i used to give people the
benefit of the doubt like oh maybe they just don't understand it maybe they don't i'm starting to
realize a lot of times when people don't understand something it's because they don't want to
understand it it's because they just don't want to deal with it and i'm tired of it you know i'm
to a point where i'm like we're not going to talk about that till you answer this verse you explain
this verse to me are you there in john 19 then say it's pilate unto him remember jesus was was
brought before pilate and pilate is saying to je to jesus then say five of them speak is thou not
unto me no is thou not that i have power to crucify thee and i have power to release thee
jesus was exercising his fifth amendment right he was not he he was he was not he was not speaking
to pilate and pilate said speak is thou not unto me that's where our fifth amendment right comes
from by the way jesus was exercising his right to not you know to to basically remain silent to not
uh you know say anything that's going to be used against you look at verse 11
jesus answered so he decides because up to this point he's been giving pilot the silent treatment
but then jesus decides to say something because here's what pilot says know is thou not that i
have power to crucify don't you know that i have power over you i can crucify you i have power to
release the look verse 11 jesus answered thou couldest have no power now look do you if you
have a red letter edition bible these verses are in red you know why because this is jesus speaking
notice what jesus says thou couldest have no power at all against me except they were
given thee from above therefore now notice what jesus says therefore he that delivered me unto
thee all right pilots are roman pilot jesus being delivered up to the romans but who delivered him
to the romans the jews now notice what he says he that deliverth me unto thee have the let's
read the next two words together greater sin okay so let me ask you a question according to jesus
is there a such thing look they're both sinning pilot and the jews they're both doing the same
thing but jesus says the jews who delivered me unto you they have the greater sin so according
to jesus is there a such thing as some sins being greater than others then look all sin is equal is
a dumb statement it's a stupid statement it's a stupid belief and all these christians that are
calling and saying i can't believe you would say that about the homos isn't all sin equal no it's
not equal jesus said himself he said hey there are some people that have greater sins than other sins
jesus said there's no such thing as a greater sin and here's what's interesting about that
because people normally are throwing that out in regards to the to the sodomite agenda but well you
know let me give you let me get before i even go there let me give you a couple more statements
go to the book of exodus in the old testament you got genesis exit now here's the question if you
believe if you believe all sin is equal okay don't ignore that verse answer that verse then was jesus
wrong when he said that the jews have the greater sin that they have a worse sin that their sin is
worse than the sin of pilot you gotta answer it you've gotta answer it go to the book of exodus
exodus 21 exodus 21 genesis exodus should be fairly easy to find second book in the bible
exodus 21 let me just give you a couple of two examples to show just that god never taught this
in the bible notice what the bible says in exodus 21 16 and he that stealeth a man okay what's it
mean to steal a man that's kidnapping and he that stealeth a man and selleth him or if he be found
in his hand so it doesn't matter if if you capture the the kidnapper and he has the person
they kidnap or if you capture the kidnapper and they've already sold the person they have
notice what the bible says he shall surely be put to death you know did you know that god
put the death penalty on kidnapping you know you say well we don't we don't do that today
you know here's the thing i bet you in america if they put the death penalty on kidnapping there'd
be a lot less kids getting kidnapped are you inciting violence against kids shut up all right
no i'm all i'm saying is god put the death penalty on kidnapping i'm sick and tired of
these liberals and by the way let me just explain them to you i you know i tried i tried to be nice
to the liberals i tried to bring them in here i try to be their friend i try to put them in
position of leadership it didn't work out you know you can't make a liberal quit being a liberal okay
so i'm done with it you know i'm just i'm done with trying to help liberal people you don't like
what we're saying just leave but look he god says if you steal a man in his old testament law and
his uh government he said he shall surely be put to death all right that's how bad of a sin
kitten i mean could you imagine someone taking your child i mean sneaking into your house
tomorrow night and taking your child i couldn't imagine a worse thing you know uh and god said
that's bad god said let's put death penalty now let me give another example go to exodus 22 look
at verse 1 let's see let's see somebody else stealing because in exodus 21 16 we saw if he
that stealeth a man all right now look at exodus 22 1 if a man shall steal an ox all right so same
is stealing but now you're stealing an ox or a sheet and kill it or sell it notice what the level
says he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep now look that's a different
punishment you steal a man you get put to death you steal a kid you get put to death you steal
an ox or a sheep you gotta restore it you gotta pay it back fivefold or fourfold here's the point
i'm trying to make god puts different levels of punishment in his government for different sins
because all sins are equal do you understand that go to the book of genesis 13 genesis chapter
number 13 now let me say this and honestly just think of it logically if you really think
that a child walking into a 7-11 and stealing a piece of gum is equal to a grown man you know
raping and killing children if you think those two things are equal you are insane
you are crazy you need to get you need to put those jackets on you and put you in a padded room
and lock you away from society that is insane i mean people say all sin is equal also how in the
world is also an equal i steal a stick of gum i go and kill a bunch of people it's the same thing
before god no it's not the bible never teaches that anywhere now can all sin send you to hell
absolutely i believe that if can you break any part of god's law and that'll send you to hell
absolutely is all sin equal no and here's what's funny go to genesis 13
people will often they'll bring this up when you're preaching against the homos
well all sin is equal you're a liar so that makes you an equal to an unnatural reprobate
but but here's what's interesting the bible himself the god himself
about the sin of sodomy notice what he says genesis 13 13 but the men of sodom this is
god speaking but the men of sodom now do you know why homosexuality the biblical word is sodomy
it's called sodomy because the men in sodom are doing it that's where the term comes from
okay so just so we're talking about the sin of homosexuality notice what he says
but the men of sodom were wicked and sinners before the lord let's read it together exceedingly
okay was their sin equal to other sins no in fact the bible says that the sin of the men of sodom
was here's what the word exceedingly means to an unusual degree it was to an extreme
god doesn't pick up fire from hell and pour it upon a nation because they're stealing gum
god doesn't pick up fire from hell and destroy an entire group of people because they got a
bat because they have a potty mouth god decided to pick up fire from hell and destroy sodom and
gomorrah because their sin was exceeding and today people say well i don't think you should
say that then you have a problem with the bible you don't have a problem with me the only problem
you have with me is that i'm preaching the bible is that you actually ran into a preacher who
actually teaches and preaches the bible who actually believes what the bible says but look
what are you going to do people say you know and somebody says to you well isn't all sin
here i can't i saw your pastor on the news isn't all sin equal take him to these verses say well
what about this well i just no no answer genesis 13 13 no answer exodus 21 to 6 answer exodus 22
answer what jesus said about the greater said answer these questions because we can't let
these people just get away with making stuff up anymore you know is all sin equal no all sin is
not equal i don't care who teaches that i don't care who i don't care how many from a baptist say
well i heard that at a big car i don't care the bible doesn't teach that in fact specifically
about the sin of sodom god said and god's word says that they were sinners before the lord
exceedingly to an extreme to an unusual degree so number one this morning stupid things that
you're stupid christians who go to stupid churches i'm sorry i shouldn't be using that word that much
my wife's like you know our kids aren't allowed to say that word okay you know here here's the
here's the statements they make all sin is equal it's not true it's just not found in the bible
they give let me give you the second one number two god never gives up on anyone well god never
gives up on anyone okay let's go to matthew chapter 12 matthew chapter 12 well i'm sorry
to confuse you with the bible but you you've got you've got to realize that what mainstream
christianity believes and what the bible teaches are two different things amen and people come up
to me they're like well my friend said that your friend goes to a church where he's your friend's
not even saved number one your his pastor's not saved he's bleeding out of the niv i mean good
night you know here's what you need to understand mainstream christianity is a pagan religion today
in america they say they're christians they say believe the bible they don't know they wouldn't
know the bible if it hit them matthew chapter 12 look at verse 22 notice what the bible says
well god never gives up on anybody okay well answer me this matthew 12 22 then was brought
unto him one possessed with the devil blind and dumb and he this is jesus speaking you can look
it up in its context if you like healed him and so much that the blind and dumb both spake and saw
and all the people were amazed and said is not this the son of david but when the pharisees
heard it they said all the people said this must be the son of david the pharisee said this fellow
does not cast out devils but by beelzebub the prince of the devils so they said this guy is not
this guy is a devil this guy has a devil this guy is just casting out devils by the prince of the
devil that's what the pharisee said to jesus just for sake of time clip down to verse 27 i would
encourage you to read the whole chapter in its context but look at verse 27 notice what jesus
responds and if i buy beelzebub cast out devils by whom do your children cast them out therefore
they shall be your judges you're never supposed to judge that's one i wasn't able to get to
look at 28 but if i cast out devils by the spirit of god then the kingdom of god is not coming to
you the verse 31 just for sake of time wherefore i say unto you notice this is jesus speaking to
the pharisees right because the people said they were amazed this is the son of david the pharisee
said no this is beelzebub this guy's casting out devils by the prince of the devils notice what
jesus says to them verse 31 wherefore i say unto you all manner the word matter means all kinds
he says all kinds of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but well doesn't jesus forgive
all sin doesn't he doesn't he doesn't god he never gives up on anybody hold on a second
let's see what jesus said all kinds all matter of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men
but the blasphemy against the holy ghost shall don't miss this not do you see that word not
shall not be forgiven unto men god forgives all sin well doesn't forgive this one god never gives
up on anybody where he gave up on these people i mean are you listening to what i'm saying
well jesus is love i know you were taught that and jesus is love but guess what god and jesus
give up on people sometimes i mean all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but
the blasphemy against the holy ghost shall not be forgiven unto men and just to make it clear notice
what he says in verse 32 and whosoever speak of the word against the son of man it shall be
forgiven him by but but whosoever speak against the holy ghost it shall notice it shall not be
forgiven him neither in this world neither in the world to come i mean how more how clear
could you be about the subject so i just don't think you should be saying that about the homeless
i'm not talking about the homeless i'm talking about the parisees i'm just saying god at some
point god gives up on people look when when the bible says and is it a point that the man wants
to die but after this judgment you die in your sin without receiving christ god gives up on you too
there comes a point where where grace is no longer extended and for here's the only question
i'm asking for the christian god never gives up on anybody here's the question i have did jesus
give up on the pharisees when he said your sin that you just committed it will not be forgiven
in this world or in the world to come did he did he give up on them yes or no the answer is yes
so well that's just the pharisees or that's just one example okay let's give you another example
go to matthew 13 look at verse number 10 matthew 13 that was specifically the pharisees that said
that but let's talk about just the pharisees in general or the jews of religion you know did god
give up on the jews has has there been a change from the old testament to the new testament
matthew 13 look at verse 10 notice what the bible says matthew 13 verse 10 and the disciples came
and said unto him unto jesus they asked him a question why speakest thou unto them in parables
remember all those parables here's what's funny all the liberal churches they love the series on
the parables and i i you know a series on parables great i don't think there's anything wrong with
that one of these days we'll do a series on the parables but you know here's the question that
i have why do we have these great parables that jesus gave i mean these wonderful stories why do
we have them well the disciples asked jesus that they said why speak is that one to them in
parables notice what jesus says verse 11 he answered and said unto them because it is given
unto you don't don't miss this it is given unto you you should underline this in your bible
to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven because remember jesus would give the parable
to a crowd and then he would take his disciples aside and he would expound upon the parable
and he would explain the parable all right the parable to the crowd everyone's scratching their
head and they're like what's that thing about the seed and the sower and the i don't understand
and the jesus would take his disciples and i said let me explain to you all right now notice what
jesus said look at verse 11 he answered and said unto them because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given what is not given it is not given to
them to know he says i don't want them to know what you know i mean are you are you following
what i'm saying well this is just not the jesus that i was taught joel osteen never said this
i know because joel osteen wants your money because joel osteen doesn't want to be on the
news right for actually preaching the bible look at verse 12 for whosoever hath to him
shall be given and he shall have more abundance but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken
away even that he has look at verse 13 therefore what's the word therefore mean
means for this reason for what reason because it's given to you to know and it's not given unto them
to know because i want you to know because i want some people to know and i don't want
others people to know like verse 13 therefore speak i to them in parables do you want to know
why i talk to them in parables because i've already given up on them i don't even want them
to know i don't even want them to understand they had it's not that they didn't have an opportunity
we'll get that to that in a minute it's not that they didn't have an opportunity but they've
already lost their opportunity therefore i don't want them to know it's not given to them to know
let's keep reading verse 13 therefore speak i to them in parables because notice because they
seeing see not now look do they have the ability to see yes but do they see no it's not that they
can't see they can see but they see not all right and hearing they hear not it's not that they can't
hear it's not that they couldn't hear what was preached not that they couldn't see what jesus
was doing they had the ability to hear they had the ability to see but they chose not to see we'll
see that a second they chose not to hear neither do they understand like verse 14 and in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of isaias isaiah talked about this all the way in the old testament about
the jews which said by hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand and seeing ye shall see and
shall not perceive for this people's heart is waxen gross and their ears are dull of hearing
and their eyes don't miss this their eyes they have closed who closed their eyes so that they
could not see they did you understand that we're not teaching Calvinism here are you saying that
god choose no no everyone has the opportunity to see and to hear the gospel but if they choose to
close their eyes god says well then that's between them that's their choice and there comes a point
where you reject it enough that he says i don't even want you to understand no don't don't miss it
look at verse 15 for this people's heart is waxen gross their ears are dull of hearing their eyes
they have closed you see this word last you should underline you should circle that word less
you know what the word less means it means unless or so that they should not he said
unless he said last at any time he said you you're asking me why i speak in parables here's why i
speak in parables just in case unless at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their
ears and should understand with their hearts don't miss this and should be converted did you just
catch what jesus said jesus said i'm speaking in parables because you know what they shut their
eyes they seeing see not and hearing they hear not but he said you know just in case just in case i
don't want he said they've lost their opportunity he said i've already given up on them he said
they're already done just unless unless they might hear and believe he said and should be converted
do you understand that jesus just said i don't want these people to be converted
i don't want these people to get say they had their opportunity they had their chance they
rejected it they rejected it and he says the opportunity is done that's why he's speaking
parables and should be converted and i should heal them but bless notice notice the difference but
blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear i mean how clear is that
god never gives up on anybody did he give up on these people looks like he gave up on them go to
ax ax 28 you're there in matthew mark luke john ax ax 28 i won't expound on ax 28 too much we'll
just read it again it's another quote from isaias it's another uh illustration about the jews notice
ax 28 look at verse 25 when you get to ax do me a favor keep your place there because we're going
to leave it and we're going to come right back to it okay so make sure you can get back to ax quickly
ax 28 look at verse 25 and when they agreed not among themselves they departed after that
paul had spoken one word well spake the holy ghost by isaias the prophet unto our father saying go
unto this people and say hearing you shall hear and shall not understand and seeing you shall see
and not perceive so notice they did see but they didn't perceive they did hear but they didn't uh
they didn't hear verse 27 for the the heart of this people is wax and gross and their ears are
dull of hearing he's quoting isaias same verses and notice their eyes they have clothes they shut
their eyes they shut their ears lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and
understand what their heart and should be converted and i should heal them he said i don't want them
to see i don't want them to hear i don't want them to be healed notice verse 28 viet known therefore
unto you that the salvation of god is sent unto the gentiles and that they will hear it notice he
said i'm done with the jews they keep rejecting he's talking about the jews as a people obviously
an individual jew can believe and be saved but he's saying you know what we're done we're done
with the jews we're going to the gentiles and we're actually going to be talking about that
tonight if you're interested about how that works and you know are the jews still god's chosen people
we're actually dealing with that tonight in our patriarch series in in genesis i'd encourage you
to be here for that if you have questions about that keep your place in acts all right we're
going to come right back to it go to revelation revelation 14 we're we're as you know we're asking
the question because the the liberal christians say well god never gives up on anybody okay well
we saw that he gave up on uh those who blaspheme the holy ghost in matthew chapter 12 we saw that
he gave up on the jews in matthew 13 in acts 28 let's give let's see another example where god
gives up on people revelation 14 look at verse 9 revelation 14 and verse 9 and the third angel
followed them saying with a loud voice now this is a book of revelation so this is n times prophecy
keep that in mind this is future events if any man worship the beast and his image the beast is
the anti-christ and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand remember the mark
666 right he says if any man worships the beast and his image and receives his mark
in his forehead or in his hand notice the same shall drink anyone who takes the mark
the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of god which is poured out with mixture into the
cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels and in the presence of the lamb and the smoke of the torment ascended up forever and
ever and they have no rest day or night who worship the beast in his image and notice
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name did you do you understand what he just said
if you're not saved because no believer the bible tells imagine before no believer will take the
mark of the beast that's very clear in scripture but if you're not saved and you take the mark of
the beast you have sealed your fate you've lost your opportunity for salvation the same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of god whosoever receiveth the mark of his name so did god give
up on these people looks like he did looks like god gives up on a lot more people than
christians like to talk about or think about go to revelation 22 look at verse 18 let me give
another example revelation 22 verse 18 revelation 22 verse 18 knows what the bible says
revelation 22 verse 18 for i testify unto every man that heareth the words of this prophecy
of this book if notice if any man shall add unto these things so someone adds to the books of god
to the bible god shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book what are those
plagues they come from hell read the book of revelation he opens up hell and all the
plagues come out look verse 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of this book of
this prophecy god shall take away his part out of the book of life now look how do you get to heaven
by having your name in the book of life he says if you take away or add to the bible i will take
your part the place where your name would have gone if you got saved now look this is not talking
about losing your salvation once your name is written in the what lands with life it's there
forever no one can no one can take it once you're saved and by the way no believer would ever mess
with god's word but he says if you're not saved and you remove from the word of god or you add to
the word of god he says i will take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city
and from the things that are written in this book so did he give up on these people god never gives
up on anybody it looks like god gives up on a lot of people actually because look god extends his
grace and gift of salvation to all mankind but if you reject it enough if you reject it enough if
you blaspheme his holy ghost if you change his word if you cross certain lines god says you
know what you had a chance but you shut your eyes and now your chance is gone and people get all
uptight go to the book of romans romans chapter one look at verse 28 i'm you know i want to show
that to you about different people that aren't just the homos because some of you just there's
too much emotion just even bringing up the sodomites because you have initially you start
thinking about your neighbor and your co-worker whatever okay maybe you're not that close to the
translators of the niv you know but um i want to show you that there's lots of examples where
people where god gives up on people religious people he gave up on them okay and all all we're
saying romans 128 romans 128 about the sodomites those without says and even as they did not like
to retain god in their knowledge not that they didn't know god they just didn't like to retain
god in their knowledge notice god gave them over to a reprobate he before that he says god gave
them up god gave him over god gave him up now he says god gave them over to a reprobate the
word reprobate means rejected you don't have to turn there but jot this verse down jeremiah
6 30 says reprobate silver shall men call them because the lord has rejected them why would
someone call you a reprobate because the lord rejected you all right rep he says god gave him
over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient i was meeting with that liberal
pastor at capitol christian center and i said well what do you think you know it says the
word reprobate how do you take that he's like well we would have to go back and look at the greek
and figure out what the word reprobate me i said well here's the problem with that if you look at
the word the greek word that's translated reprobate in our king james bible it's only used three times
in the new testament and here's how it's translated every time the first time romans 128 reprobate
the second time first corinthians 9 27 cast away the third time hebrew 6a rejected that's how the
greek word is translated cast away thrown away rejected reprobate what do you have to say to that
capitol christian center well this conversation is no longer fruitful yeah it's only fruitful if
you're right and here's the thing these christians they're just they they got their little agenda
you know i can preach this and still be rich i can preach this until right drive a buttonly
i can preach this and still be on tv why just preach the bible why just preach what god said
when he gave up on the parishes when he gave up on the jews when he gave up on those that would
mess with his word when he gave up on those that would take the rock of the beast and he gave up on
those who he gave over to a reprobate mind that's what the bible says well all sin is equal no it's
not god never gives up on anyone that's not true god gives up on people sometimes let me give you
the third one you learn romans go to chapter 9 romans chapter 9 god loves everyone and hates no
one pastor man i can't believe you preach don't you know that god loves everyone and hates no one
here's here's the problem with that the bible
are you there in romans look at chapter 9 look verse 13 as it is written you know where it's
written in the bible they're about to quote they're about to quote the bible as it is written
jacob have i love this is god speaking jacob have i love but esau have i why god never hates anybody
well the problem with that is that the bible says that esau have i hated and that's god speaking
well that's that's only esau okay let's go to psalms go to the book of psalms if you open up
your bible just right in the center you're more than likely following the book of psalms go to
psalm five and let's let's run some verses let's look at some verses you say pastor man is if you
preach these sermons your church is not going to grow you if you have these beliefs people aren't
going to come here listen to me i was preaching these things when we were in the living room and
it was me my family and and two other people you think i'm going to change now for some liberal
is going to quit on us anyway you think i'm going to change now i'm not look look let me let me
explain something to you you want to understand how pastor he met us is different than the average
christian here's how pastor man is different than the average christian the average christian takes
this position i believe this as long as nobody knows about it but if people find out about it i
mean if it gets all over the media then i'm sure i never believe that anyway look i believe it
whether people know about it or not i don't i don't make my decisions based on what society
thinks about the bible i just decided i believe the bible i believe what the bible says and if
they don't like it they can lump it i'm going to believe the word of god and if it's preaching if
i'm just preaching to my wife and kids and that's good enough you know i don't need a crowd i don't
need and by the way we have a crowd but you know what we're not here to build a church jesus builds
a church psalm five look at verse four psalm five four that the i met with that capital christian
he's like well you know he's been one of his let me give you his his number one reason why we're
wrong most people disagree with you most he's like most pastors don't agree with you most
theologians don't agree with you i said yeah that sounds familiar i think i read something about
broad is the way that leaded to destruction and many there be which go in there yeah i think i
think that is a biblical principle you're right psalm five look at verse five psalm five five
yeah i don't think you should be talking about pastors by name then you don't do it when you're
preaching here's another dumb thing that christians believe in the bible and i don't i'll just give
this one to you for free in the bible you know that paul and john called out people by name
false prophets by name i just you can study that one out on your own psalm five look at verse four
for thou art not a god that hath pleasure in wickedness neither shall evil dwell with thee
the foolish shall not stand in thy sight we're talking about god here notice what it says
thou hatest are the workers of iniquity god hates no one well he hates the workers of iniquity
look at verse six thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing the lord will abhor you
know what the word abhor means hate to loathe to detest the lord will abhor the bloody and
deceitful man god doesn't hate anybody you know what god does hate the bloody and deceitful man
god does hate the workers of iniquity go to psalm 11 look at verse 5 psalm 11 you're there
in psalm 5 just flip a few pages over psalm 11 verse 5 psalm 11 verse 5 the lord trieth the
righteous the lord trieth the righteous psalm 11 5 but the wicked and him that loveth violence
his soul whose soul the lord's soul god his soul hated god doesn't hate anybody he hates that guy
he hates those people the wicked and him that loveth violence he hated
the workers of iniquity he hated he said jacob have i loved loved and esau have i hated go to
the book of hosea hosea uh chapter 9 uh make sure you can keep your place in psalms because we're
going to come back to it you should have your place in acts and also in psalms we're going to
come back to those two places go to hosea 9 and look at verse number 15 hosea now hosea is in the
uh uh uh uh uh minor one of minor prophets towards the end of the old testament let me
help you out you got the big books of isaiah jeremiah lamentations ezekiel
daniel and josea all right isaiah jeremiah lamentations ezekiel daniel and josea i want
you to get there because i want you to see it because people say well god god loves everyone
and hates no one the bible doesn't teach that and here's the oh i'm not mad you say well i i
believe that i'm not mad at you i'm just saying you got to do something with the verses we're
looking at because you can't look at the bible and have the bible say that he hates some people
and then you say god hates no one because here's the thing either you're wrong or the bible is
wrong and i'm gonna bet it's probably you hosea 9 so well well i don't understand does god i
thought god loves everyone hosea 9 15 kind of explains that let's look at it hosea 9 15 all
their wickedness is in guilco for their eye this is god speaking for their i hated them another
verse god hates those people god loves everybody no no he hates them all their wickedness is in
guilco for there i hated them for the wickedness of their doings i will drive them out of mine
house now don't miss this well did god always hate them no he used to love them look i will
love them no more do you see that i will love them no more all their princes are revolting
what about john 3 16 for god's will love the world yeah god did love god does love the world
god loves the entire world god gave his son to die for the entire world but there are some people
that he loves and he loves no more not that he always hated them but they shut their eyes
they they they they decided not to believe they they rejected him and then god says you know what
i did love you you did have a chance for salvation but i will love them no more and then he says for
there i hated them i look i'm not trying to i'm not trying to ruin your day i'm just trying to
all i just want you to answer me what do you do with that well no i mean my one friend or my
cousin or my sister or my whatever my grandpa who's a preacher and look if you said that to
me i'm not i'm not talking to anybody specifically i don't even i'm just saying they said god loves
everyone and hates no one i know but what does the bible say they said god never gives up on
you i know but what does the bible say they said all said is equal i know but what does
the bible say you're there in psalms go to the book of ecclesiastes you're gonna go past proverbs
into ecclesiastes let me give you the fourth one all right i got five i got like 20 but i'll give
you five today ecclesiastes chapter three ecclesiastes is a is a is a really famous
passage in scripture it's one it's a beautiful passage in scripture oftentimes you'll see it
like on on cards and stuff that people give give away and here's the fourth statement for
those of you taking notes i said number one all sin is equal stupid statement i said number two
god never gives up on anyone stupid statement number three god loves everyone hates no one
stupid statement here's the fourth statement christians should only love everyone and never
hate anyone they say because god loves everyone and hates no one then we as christians should
love everyone and hate no one well number one god doesn't love everyone and hates no one there's
some people that god used to love and doesn't love anymore and now he hates them i can't believe
you say that the bible says that but let me give you another one you know this idea that we should
never hate anyone christians should only love and never hate anyone okay are there any ecclesiastes
remember this beautiful passage of scripture you you read it on the hallmark card to everything
there is a season isn't that beautiful a time and a time to every purpose under heaven a time to be
born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted a time to kill
and a time to heal a time to break down and a time to build up a time to weep and a time to laugh
a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing a time to get and a time to lose a
time to keep and a time to cast away a time to rend and a time to sew a time to keep silence and
a time to speak you're like oh you're sounding more like pastor cole now great okay look at
her say a time to love man you sound just like you know the liberal i listen to on tv and a time to
hate well wait a minute they cut that one off of the hallmark card christians are never supposed
to hate then why did god say that there's a time to hate christians we're never supposed to hate
then why did god say there's a time to love and there's a time to hate
a time of war and a time of peace well we're never supposed to hate anybody okay
go to matthew chapter five let's look at it now make sure you're there any ecclesiastes okay
make sure you can get back to ecclesiastic song we're going to come right back to it but let's
look at matthew five because here's what people say they'll say well matthew five teachers you're
never supposed to hate anybody you're only supposed to love people okay let's look at it together
because here's the thing i don't have a problem matthew five i love matthew five i think matthew
five is great i don't have a problem with any of the bible i'm not the liberal christian that's
cherry picking which passages he wants to preach out of matthew five look at verse 43 matthew five
verse 43 matthew 543 notice what jesus said ye have heard that it hath been said
thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy but i say unto you love your enemies bless them
that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you
and persecute you and people say matthew 544 i get all these books now haven't you ever read
matthew 544 no i never got that far into the new testament i i read up to matthew 543 you just
revolutionized my life i never thought about that i mean what do you people want me to say okay but
i say like we've never thought about these verses but i say unto you love here's the key word you
got to underline this in your bible you got to circle in your bible love your love your
love your enemies see here's what the bible says if you are my enemy i parked in your parking spot
i sat in your you know whatever i was walking my dog and he went doo-doo on your lawn and i didn't
pick it up whatever and you hate me you become my enemy god commands me to love my enemies
that's why i love some of you guys because you guys just are my enemies yeah i'm just kidding
they're going to post all about it on change.org they're falling apart stupid
look we're supposed to love our enemies absolutely i believe that okay but here's the thing you know
why those protesters out there hate us you know why they hate us they don't hate us because i cut
them off they don't hate us because of any personal interaction that we had with them
we don't even know those people we've never met those people i've never seen those people in my
life you know why they hate us because of what we believe you know why they hate us because of what
we preach you know why they hate us because they hate god that's why they hate us they don't have
a problem with us i mean six weeks ago they might have been in front of me or behind me at the
grocery store and it would have been like you know whatever yeah go ahead ma'am go ahead sir
no problem between us and them but when they find out that we believe the word of god and they hate
god so much and they're an enemy of god they hate us you say well we're supposed to love our
enemies we're supposed to love those who are our enemies okay go to the book of psalm psalm 139
i'm about to mess you up with the bible again psalm 139 remember david the sweet psalmist of
israel the great the great psalm writer you love psalm you know 23 okay let's look at psalm 139
verse 21 psalm 139 we're almost done here i i think i did i told you i was gonna do five
points but i'm only doing four so you're you're good psalm 139 you got to do something with this
you can't just ignore this do not i hate them oh lord now look are you about to tell me that
david the man after god's own heart was sinning when he said i hate them lord now notice do not
i hate them oh lord notice don't miss this that hate thee that hate who the lord
look david if there's a if there's an example in the bible of a man who loved his enemies it's
david he had the opportunity twice to kill saul and he chose not to he he he could have
he could have messed up saul but he didn't you know why because he loved his enemies
but guess who david did not love god's enemies
do not i hate them oh lord that hate thee and and am not i grieve with those that rise up against
thee don't miss this look at verse 22 i hate them notice just to make sure you know he's right with
god he says i hate them with a perfect hatred the word perfect means complete he said there's
nothing wrong with my hatred this isn't a personal thing against me and them he says i hate them with
a perfect hatred i count them my enemies why aren't you supposed to love your enemies look
here's how it works you're my enemy i love you you're god's enemy i hate you do you understand
that look i'm supposed to love my enemies those people that hate me but when you hate god you're
my enemy now i stand with god i stand with orlando i stand with god i hate them with perfect hatred
i count them my enemies and then just to make sure you know what he's saying is right notice what he
says in verse 23 search me oh god and know my heart try me and know my thoughts and see if
there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting he says look at my heart there's
nothing wrong my heart look at me i'm not doing anything wrong but i hate those who hate me
we're never supposed to hate oh really the house says there's a time to hate
where you're supposed to love your enemies i i do my best to love my enemies i do my best to love
those who hate me for whatever but when you hate god when the only reason you have a beef with me
is because of the word of god then your your problem's not with me your problems with god
you're an enemy of god and you're not my enemy now what are we going to do we're going to go
out there and squirt them with water guns no we're just going to preach the bible you say well
what's the problem with the with the homo agenda you don't have to turn there romans 130 says this
they are backbiters they are haters of god that's what god says look there are issues not with me
there are issues with god there are issues with me because i'm it's like when you get mad at the
mailman for bringing you the credit card bill he didn't charge up the credit card bill he's
not the credit card company you're mad at the mailman for bringing you the news they're they're
not mad at us they don't hate us they hate god right you said do you hate them i hate them with
the perfect hatred you say all right well do you want i'm look here's what i'm praying that
they get saved that they leave or die i don't think here's the thing read the book of psalms
they i mean there's some prayers in the book of psalms where david is praying that
they're that god would knock out and break out their teeth that's what the bible says
you say well i just don't know that here's here's here's the problem you have you have a problem
with the bible right and you've made up this christianity that's just not real go to second
uh chronicles chapter 19 we'll finish up right here second chronicles 19
second chronicles 19 verse 22 verse 2 second chronicles 19 and verse 2
if i don't continue the series on stupid things Christians believe next week i'm probably going
to be preaching from the life of jehu so we're going to look at one verse out of jehu right now
second chronicles 19 if you can find the first and second books first and second samuel for
second kings for second chronicles second chronicles 19 look at verse 2 notice what
jehu said and jehu the son of hananiah the seer went out to meet him and said to king jehoshaphat
shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the lord that's the question i want
to ask the most christians today shouldest thou help the ungodly i had the the treasure you say
i don't think you should call names the treasurer from the crossing came to talk to me about how we
can smooth out these relationships then i watch a video of him protesting us on the day of the
big protest here's a question i have for them shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them
that hate the lord shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the lord therefore is
wrath upon thee from before the lord look when you line yourself up with god's enemies
the wrath of god is going to be upon you and we're not talking about hell if you're saved
but the bible is very clear that if you line yourself with those who are enemies of god then
you put yourself at enmity with god look are we going to go do something i've never said that
we're never going to do that that's not the point the point is this should christians should love
everyone and hate no one that's that is not found in the bible that is not found in scripture in
scripture you say well why why are there and i'm not gonna take them to do it because i'm out of
time so why are there so many errors in christianity today why are so many churches teaching
false doctrines here's here's why and i won't take them to do it i've done it before
whenever the pharisees bring up a false doctrine to christ over and over and over in the bible you
know what he says to them he says ye do err not knowing the scriptures he said you you're in error
because he said have you not read over and over i mean just read them in matthew mark luke john
you'll you'll find jesus questioning the very thing have you not read he said didn't you read
don't you know you know what the problem with why most christians believe these stupid things all
sin is equal god never gives up on anyone god loves everyone and hates no one christians never
love everyone should love everyone and hate oh you know why people believe that because they
don't read the bible that's why and because they go to churches where the bible is not being
preached so here's the question i have for you have you not read i gave you a lot of verses
you should jot them down if you have a question about what i'm preaching come talk to me i'd be
happy to answer for you or read it and study it out for yourself but be ready to have an
answer when your friends come to you when your cousins come to you when your aunts and uncles
or whoever comes to you so what about you know i thought christians were supposed to love and
somebody look i'm not mad at these people some of them are genuine people they've never learned you
know they said well i thought christians were never supposed to love doesn't matter we're supposed
to love our enemies say hey yeah let me let me you want me to explain that to you
the bible says we're supposed to love our names but let me show you someone 139 says that we're
supposed to not love the enemies of god have an answer look i'm not i don't just get up here and
just say whatever and well pastor just kind of went on that rant again and they happen to get
it on the news no i thought about what i believed before i spoke i did the reading before i preached
i figured out what i'm not saying i'm perfect and i make mistakes
i had somebody said to me i think it was miss tracy said pastor i went back she said she either
went back and listened to the very first sermon or one of the first sermons of our church's
existence and they're like you're preaching the exact same thing right then listen to me
listen to me i haven't changed our doctrinal statement has said the same thing for five years
many of you many of you sat in a uh uh striving together class where we read the doctoral
statement went over the doctrinal statement and asked you if you understand and acknowledge this
to sign it and you did as long as the media wasn't watching but as soon as everybody knows then i
don't know i never well then why do you sign this statement i'm not look i'm not saying you have to
believe everything we believe i don't you know i don't think you have to come to our church to
believe everything we believe that's not what the point of the statement is the point of the
statement is for you to acknowledge what we believe we're not hiding anything we're shouting
it from the rooftops we we haven't changed what we believe nothing's changed at verity baptist
church over the last five and a half years i don't understand what all the problem was i don't know
about what you it's funny you knew you didn't say anything about it last year when i preached the
sermon but terry said to me i listened to the sermon about the sodomites you preached a year
he said almost a year ago it was almost word for word the same sermon my brother don't tell people
that i'm just taking the old sermons and re-preaching them you know what i mean i'm just
scared nothing's changed why don't you decide what you believe why don't you do the reading do
the homework figure it out let's pray heavenly father thank you lord for allowing us to be able
to gather together lord help us to
