All right, we're in 2nd Corinthians chapter number 11 and look down at your Bibles at verse number 13
It says for such are false apostles
deceitful workers
Transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light
Therefore it is no great thing
If his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works
And the title of sermon this morning is reforming the Church of Satan
Reforming the Church of Satan or another title can be the satanic temple exposed. Okay now make no mistake
These are two different
Organizations you have the Church of Satan and then you have the satanic temple now right off the bat
You might be thinking to yourself. Well, these are one in the same, right? They're both serving Satan
There's their Satan is or satanic and in the grand scheme of things
They are the same in the fact that they're serving the Satan's the devil's purpose right for the world whether knowingly or unknowingly
However, there is a sharp distinction between the two
There is a difference between the two and you're gonna see that this morning
You see the latter organization
Which is the satanic temple has a great a greater far more nefarious agenda behind it
You know you think of the Church of Satan
This is something that took place in the 60s and gained a lot of widespread attention because of their controversial
practices of black magic their
Sacrifices and all these immoral things that they would do whereas the satanic temple doesn't partake of those things
Okay, and I don't want to get ahead of myself
But let me just give you an abridgment of what the Church of Satan is
This is the one that people are more familiar with
This is something that people would more those who would be labeled Satanists would
basically adopt and understand and know the history of this church was founded by a man by the name of Anton LaVey in
1966 okay, and
These are the people that assert themselves as the only true arbiters of Satanism. They believe that they're the originators of it
You know Anton LaVey created what's called the Satanist Bible, okay, and in fact they've been he immediately opposed
The campaigns and the activities of the satanic temple, okay
These are the people who have an organization where they uplift these 11 satanic rules of the earth now
When you think of the Church of Satan a lot of what's associated with it is immorality
violence and black magic
Okay, and in fact the seventh rule of the satanic rules of the earth as they call it says this acknowledge the power of magic
If you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires
If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success
You will lose all you have obtained so they're open about magic
They're open about you know, the black arts and these dark practices of invoking
Spiritual things so on and so forth and they also promote violence
Because the 11th rule of the Church of Satan says this
When walking in open territory bother no one if someone bothers you ask him to stop if he does not stop destroy him
Okay, so this is obviously something that is directly opposed to the Word of God
And in fact what this is is religious satire
Right that seeks to basically make a mockery of the Bible make a mockery of God and just become a polar
Opposite of the commandments of the Lord. Okay, you know the Lord doesn't teach violence
The satanic Church does the Lord the Lord teaches to to keep yourself from fornication
The satanic Church does not okay
They're the complete polar opposite of what the Word of God teaches now the satanic temple
Actually
Dismisses the Church of Satan as being they basically say it's irrelevant. It's inactive. It's not growing. It's just meaningless
They have no purpose so on and so forth. You say well, what is the satanic temple? Well, this is something that's more recent
This is something that actually started in
2013 okay as as soon as 2013 and really what they are is a reformation of the Church of Satan
They were found in 2013. One of the co-founders is Lucian Greaves
okay, and
What they seek to do is refine
Satanism you see because
Satanism has a black eye does it not I mean the mere fact that they're called Satanist
Would lead anybody who's not even Christian to just stay away from it
You know, I mean like okay if you're willing to call yourself and label yourself a Satanist someone who worships Satan that that alone is
Enough to just you know, keep people away from that organization
So what they want to do is refine
Satanism be involved in political issues in order to make it socially palatable for everyone
So that the next generation grows up and see some of their good deeds that they're doing their involvement in political issues
Make it palatable and recruit laborers basically is what they're doing. You see the Church of Satan is very exclusive
Whereas the satanic temple are seeking to make disciples. Okay, they're seeking to have a voice amongst politicians
They're seeking to have a voice amongst the next generation. I mean they even have after-school programs, which is for Satanists
They have workbooks with the cartoons and the kids that have Baphomet on their shirts
teaching them satanic
Ideologies and doctrines in order to reach the next generation. Okay
Now here's the thing. Both of these groups do not believe in Satan
Now define irony for me
Define irony you have a group that calls themselves the temple of Satan. They say hail Satan
They base their religion in their organization off of Satanism, but they don't literally believe in actual Satan
I mean, this is foolishness
This is idiocy the fact that they would base their entire
Organization off of this being but say we don't really believe in Satan. You said what do they believe about Satan?
Why do they use his name? Well, they say that Satan is the symbolic embodiment of rebellion against tyranny
Okay. Now what tyranny are they referring to God?
What tyranny are they referring to the Bible? What tyranny are they referring to biblical authority and institutions that have been established by God?
So anything that is for God they consider to be tyranny
Okay
They view Satan more as a symbol and a personification of their faith
Rather than the fallen angel the Bible describes him to be
All right
And in fact that they have seven tenants that they go according and the seventh is this every tenant is got is a guiding principle
designed to inspire
Satanism no nobility in
action and thought the spirit of compassion wisdom and justice should always prevail over the written or
Spoken word. Okay. So in other words, what they're saying is this hey you naturally should be wise
You naturally should have compassion
You naturally should want justice and that should always prevail over the written and spoken word
What are they talking about preaching of God's Word and the Word of God? Okay, and
Look, here's that here is the hypocrisy of this because they literally said that this should prevail over the written or spoken word
And if you ask them well, what book do you adhere to they will reference Anatole France the revolt of the angels
Which is a book that basically is a perversion of the fall of Satan himself
It's a book that describes Satan Lucifer as being this noble angel
Who all all he wanted to do was gain knowledge gain wisdom
Revolt it against God because God is a tear, you know, the tyrannical
Oppressor there and then you know, he falls
Okay, they say this the devil directly challenged God
So as a Satan is we believe that directly confronting injustice and corrupt authority is an expression of satanic faith now
Make no mistake about it. This is a growing organization. He's all that's not growing. No, it's growing
they started in 2013 and in three years, they had 50,000 members and
Up to this day. They've increased they have chapters satellite chapters all across the country and worldwide
People are adhering to this religion of Satanism by the droves and why is that?
Well because we're entering the end times and the Bible tells us that some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils
You know, nothing's more further from the truth in that verse than what we're looking at right now as far as Satanism is concerned
Now there is a difference between the Church of Satan and the satanic temple, even though you know
They they both have Satan in them, what are the differences well the satanic temple does not believe in the dark arts
At least they don't claim to they claim that they don't believe in magic. They don't want to evoke anything
They're not about that. Okay, their non-theistic movement aligned with Liberty equality and
Rationalism they have local and worldwide chapters. In other words, they're seeking to start churches
Right, there are church planters temple planters
They're growing at a rapid pace they're socially and politically active
They have after-school Satan's programs to in order to indoctrinate the next generation
You say well what makes the the satanic temple far more dangerous than the Church of Satan
Because of the fact that they're involved in public affairs in order to get the next generation
You see they're trying to stray from the stigma that the Church of Satan has you know
Sacrifices and drinking blood and doing all these things of the occult
they're actually trying to separate themselves from that and become more of a politically correct a
Patriotic group if you can believe that
That is seeking to make that palatable for the masses in order for them to grow and we're gonna see why that is in just
A moment go to Matthew chapter 12 if you would Matthew chapter 12
Matthew chapter 12 now, although there are there are
Glaring distinctions between the two make no mistake about it
No matter how much they criticize each other no matter how much they criticize other false religions. It's all under the same devil, right?
How do we know that? Well, look at Matthew 12 verse 25
It says here and Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation
And every city or house divided against itself shall not stand and if Satan cast out Satan
He is divided against himself. How shall then his kingdom stand?
You see they would say well, they're divided against the Church of Satan
The Church of Satan is divided against the temple of Satan. But here's the thing. They're both one in the same
The only difference is is the satanic temple is simply reforming refining what the Church of Satan was. Okay
Now in 2nd Corinthians 11 we read that
Satan comes as an angel of what light
Why is that well because when we think of light in the Bible, it means to enlighten, right?
You see one of the agendas of the Church of the satanic temple is to enlighten people to encourage people to gain knowledge
To gain wisdom to be enlightened, you know to eat of the tree of knowledge
But it's a knowledge that is ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth
It's a knowledge that rejects Jesus Christ as the one true God
So on and so forth go with me if you would to Genesis chapter 3, we're gonna look at an example of this
Genesis chapter 3
Let's look at Satan's first appearance in the Bible
He says in Genesis chapter 3 verse 1 now
The serpent was more subtle than any beasts of the field which the Lord God had made and he said unto the woman yay
Had God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden and the woman said unto the serpent
We may eat of the fruit of trees of the garden
But at the tree of but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden
God had said ye shall not eat of it neither
Shall you touch it lest he die and the serpent said unto the woman?
Ye shall not surely die for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof
Then your eyes shall be open and ye shall be as gods
knowing good and
Evil. So what is Satanism? Well Satanism is right there
Satanism is an agenda to directly disobey God and
Tell you that you can get all the pleasures and knowledge of life without God
You don't need deity you don't need Jesus Christ you don't need religion you just need you
You need to have aspiration. You need to have ambition. You need to have wisdom. You need to have intelligence
You can get that on your own without God now go with me if you went to Acts chapter 26 if you would Acts chapter 26
Acts chapter 26
So they're claiming to be these messengers of light these angels of light because an angel is a messenger an
Angel is someone who brings a message to you and they want to bring that light that enlightenment to people
Okay, look at Acts 26 verse 16
it says but rise and stand upon thy feet for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose to make thee a minister and a
Witness both of these things which thou has seen and of those things in which I will appear unto thee
Delivering me from the people and from the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee to open their eyes
To turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God
That they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me
You see God says well if you think you have knowledge, but you don't have Christ you're actually in darkness
You don't have the light if you think you have knowledge you have wisdom
But you don't have the Word of God you don't have Jesus Christ you're actually in darkness
You're what the Bible terms as being blind
Why because the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not
Lest they should believe on the glorious gospel right lest they should believe on Jesus Christ
So these people who elevate knowledge over God who elevate knowledge over the wisdom of God's Word
The Bible says they're actually blind
Okay
But a messenger or an angel of light is not just someone who wants to come in and enlighten you
You know when we think of an angel of light we often refer to that scripture as being you know they come as
wolves in sheep's clothing
they come under the cloak of
nobility okay an
angel of light
Go with me if you would to Matthew chapter number 7
Matthew chapter number 7 he said well, we're not gonna be fooled by this
You know why preach on this obviously we understand that Satan is the adversary we understand that he is the the
antagonist of all
History we understand that he is our enemy that he as a roaring lion walking walking about seeking whom he may devour
We understand these things yeah
But there's a far greater nefarious agenda that fits into the New World Order when it comes to these Satanists
And we're gonna look at that in just a bit
But they come as messengers of nobility look at Matthew 7 verse 15 says beware of false prophets
Which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
Ravening wolves remember what they said they want to inspire
nobility so the so to the unbeknownst person the person who maybe is sick of church
You know these people who are apostate Christians who claim to believe on God, but they're not really saved. They will be fooled by this
Because they'll say well these Satan is they're just as nice as any other Christian they want nobility they have compassion they have fellowship
They're doing good deeds, and they can be fooled by these people okay
They do community service. I mean they literally adopt highways to clean
Okay, they adopt highways to clean they do good deeds
They try to fight for social injustice for bullying in the schools
They do all they can
To become palatable to the community they want to fight for civil rights equality, but there's nothing noble about what they're doing
Why because the Bible tells us that even the plowing of the wicked is sin
The Bible says though hand joined in hand the wicked shall not be unpunished
But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered and make no mistake about it anybody who's involved in the satanic temple their reprobates
They are
Reprobates they will they will not be saved this sermon is not to rescue people out of the from the Church of Satan or the
satanic temple why is that because the satanic temple
literally encourages
Blasphemy they literally say blasphemy is a declaration of independence
You know I find it funny that they don't want to they claim not to believe in God
They don't believe in Satan yet Christianity is the main religion and organization that they seek to mock
Why is it that they attack Christianity, but not Islam why is it they attack Christianity, but not Buddhism
Why is it that they attack Christianity, but not any other religion. You know why because they know that God exists
That's why it's not by mistake is it any mistake that they caught they worship Satan
Which is a name directly found in the Word of God?
It's not by mistake, but you know what they they literally said blasphemy is a declaration of independence we embrace blasphemy as a
Legitimate expression of personal independence from counterproductive traditional norms they encourage and propagate
The practice of blasphemy okay go to Mark chapter 3 if you would mark chapter 3
Mark chapter number 3
And look they're nonviolent they have nonviolent protests and activism, but they are reprobates
Look
What it says in verse 28 verily I say unto you in Mark chapter 3 all sins shall be forgiven you into the sons of
men and
Blasphemies what wherewithsoever they shall blaspheme, but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness
But is in danger of eternal damn nation look
These people are some of the most wicked people on the face of the planet
Because they revel in their blasphemy they
Embrace blasphemy they love to blaspheme the name of God
They love to make a mockery of Jesus Christ and anything that is godly, and you know what God's fine with that
You know why because then he just gives them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient
Okay, let me read you their invocation their prayer
It says let us stand now unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds and darkened times
You know we're the fearful minds basically let us embrace the luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge
Wait hold on a sec. I thought you reject the Bible. I thought you reject God
I thought you don't even believe in these things
Why are you encouraging people who come from Buddhist backgrounds from Hindu backgrounds from Catholic?
Backgrounds from Christian backgrounds to eat of the tree of knowledge
if that's not true and
Dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete
actions
Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things holding fast only that which is demonstrably true
Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of one or all
That which will not bend must break and that which can can be destroyed by truth should never be spared in demise
It is done hail Satan
Notice what he says there that which will not bend must break well who's gonna break it
What is he talking about what that which will not bend talking about us when we say we shall not be moved
We will not partake of this. We're not gonna tolerate it. You know what that means. We're not we're not gonna bend
So you know what they say? Well, if you're not gonna bend and we're gonna you're gonna break you're gonna be destroyed
Okay
One of the seven tenants says this the struggle for justice is an ongoing and unnecessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and
Institutions, you know like the institution of the church the laws found within the Word of God
One's body is invaluable
Which means it can cannot be defiled subject to one's own will what does God say if any man defile the temple of God?
Him shall God destroy
And of course they want to inspire so-called nobility
now
Make no mistake about it. This is a dangerous group and you may think to yourself. Well, it's not dangerous to us
But again, there's a far more greater nefarious agenda behind the satanic temple
You see a lot of people just see it as satire
Right. They just see it as a mockery as a joke as you know, people are not gonna be deceived by this
Then why are so many people flocking to these organizations?
There's a chapter here in Los Angeles
Run by some transvestite
Okay, you know you have it throughout the United States and worldwide through every nation and you read the testimonies of these people
They feel like they found religion
They're like I used to be a Sunday school teacher I used to be a deacon and now I found you know
They satanic temple. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me
You know, they see it as a glorious thing. They see it as a great thing and people are flocking to this now
What's the main point of this sermon? Well?
Let me explain something is that the satanic temple is simply part of the framework
To create the structure known today as the New World Order
Why is that
Well, what is the New World Order first and foremost well the New World Order is
The structure that the Antichrist of the end times will inherit the worldwide structure that the Antichrist is going to inherit
That is made up of three components
One world government one world financial system and one world religion, okay
Go to Revelation chapter 13 if you would
Revelation chapter 13
One
Of the leaders of the chapters by the way you know they claim not to be violent they claim that you know they're
Noble, but here's the thing out of the abundance of the heart the mouth always speaks right the mouth speaketh and
Eventually the truth is always going to make its way out if it's in the heart one of these
leaders of the chapters in the United States held a rally or their
Satanic service and
Gave a speech and of course they're doing all kinds of wicked things and just kind of just they're being Satanist and
She basically says this she states you know we're gonna pour snakes into the government's office
We're gonna overthrow them, and we're gonna execute the President of the United States
That's what she said and
the leader
Lucien Greaves gave her a call and told her hey you're fired
Okay, like you can't you you can't be a leader anymore because that's not what we're about
But you know what that's not the reason why he fired her you know why he fired her is because she
Exposed yourself for who she really is she exposed the organization for what they really are why because that's what's in their heart is murder
They want to destroy anything that's not them
You know they talk about tolerance, and they talk about getting along and joining hands with people
That's not the agenda the agenda is this if you're not conforming to us. You should be destroyed
They want to execute so they fired her and she even said herself well
You know what this is changing because of the fact that this is who we really are
And she's right
look at revelation 13 verse 1 and I stood up upon the sand of the sea and
Saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads
The name of blasphemy and the beast which I saw was like into a leopard and his feet were as the feet of a bear
And his mouth as the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority now
this beast in Revelation chapter 13 is
Obviously talking about two types of people or excuse me
It's talking about one person
But an institution as a whole the one person that it's referring to is the Antichrist the institution is the one world government, okay?
And
All of these animals that we see here pictured in verse number two are actually representative of different empires that have existed throughout
the ages all
culminating into this one world government verse 3 and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death and
His deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered after the beast
So this is talking about the Antichrist will receive a wound to the head
He will die and because he is an Antichrist he's coming in the place of Christ just like Jesus
He comes back from the dead. Okay. This is how he's gonna fool
Apostate Christians. This is how he's gonna fool
Judaism Islam and every other
Denomination and religion throughout the world is he's gonna come back to life and they're gonna claim him to be God
Okay, he's gonna claim himself to be God verse 4 and they worshipped the dragon which gave power into the beast
And they worshiped the beast saying who is like unto the beast who is able to make war with him
This is an incredible task to accomplish here
Because all the people in all the world worship the beast
We're talking about religions and denominations that have fundamental differences that do not agree fundamentally on
God they do not agree on the scriptures
They do not they have practices that are polar opposites one of another yet
We see here verse number four that the entire world
Regardless of what religion they're a part of are gonna all agree in worshiping this beast
This is an incredible task to accomplish right here
Okay, how do they do that? How are they gonna accomplish this?
How is the Antichrist gonna get everyone to worship to agree with one another and to worship this beast?
verse 5 says and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
Blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months and he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to
blaspheme his name and his
Tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven and it was given unto him to make war with the Saints to and to overcome them
And power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations. Now. This is what I want to talk about here. Okay?
Because the satanic temple you may think is a joke
But in reality their agenda is no different than the apostate Christians
Than the Buddhists than the Hindus than any other religion that seeks to unify with one another
It's all it is
Because what is the agenda of the satanic temple? Is it to practice black magic and the dark arts?
No, the agenda at its core is for religious freedom and tolerance
They say that on their website. They'll say it out of their own mouths. They say this we want religious freedom and tolerance
Well, you know what? That's what the majority of religions want today as well. Okay?
They want to push the worshipping of an impersonal God
Okay, go with me if you went to Daniel chapter 11
You know when they're asked do you worship Satan because they're asking like well you call Satan this
You you say hail Satan you throw up the horns with your fingers
You have all these blasphemous images on your shirts and you know throughout your organization. Do you worship Satan?
They'll say this it is the position of the satanic temple that religion can and should be divorced from superstition as
Such we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan
To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry
Removed from supernaturalism and
archaic tradition based superstitions the Satanist should actively work to hone critical thinking and
Exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things our beliefs must be malleable to the best current
scientific understandings of the material world never the reverse you see if you go to
the culture today and try to base your beliefs off of
Supernatural things they're gonna render you to be some quack
But if you say no, all my beliefs are based on scientific discoveries. They're gonna acknowledge that they're gonna say
Okay, this person is a legitimate person. They have a good hand on their shoulders. They are reasonable, right?
It's what they're gonna think but I want you to notice that they say we don't promote a belief in a personal Satan
in other words, you can worship whoever you want an
impersonal God
Look at Daniel chapter 11. This is a prophecy of the Antichrist in Daniel chapter 11 verse 36
Look what it says and the king
shall do according to his will and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every God and
Shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished for that that is determined shall be done
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers nor the desire of women nor regard any God
So he's like I'm not he's not regarding anybody
But but look what it goes on to say for he shall magnify himself above all but in his estate he shall honor
the God of forces
So is this is this a contradiction?
No in verse 37 it says he shall not regard any God
But then in verse 38 says he shall honor the God of forces
This is the impersonal God whoever you want to be God
Whether yourself whether it's the Hindu God whether it's the Buddhist God whether it's the Catholic God you worship
Whoever you want and today is a fulfillment of that through different religions
But today this morning, I'm talking about the Church of Satan the satanic temple. Excuse me, okay
Where they say you don't have to worship Satan with us
What you need to do is just think for yourself. You need to eat of the tree of knowledge. Okay?
Now they call it, you know, the satanic temple, but we call it ecumenism
Ecumenism
The satanic temple seeks to institute religious
pluralism
Okay, what is religious pluralism its tolerance for all religions?
Now, let me give you an example in Arkansas
You at the state capital you have the monument to the Ten Commandments
Okay in Arkansas, they would consider themselves to be a Christian state in other words
They still you know, they revere the commandments of God the Word of God
They believe in God, you know, they're senators and the governor they claim to be Christian
and in fact, I believe they're even ordained ministers of
Christian churches and
This group of people the the the satanic temple
They went there and they wanted to basically prop up Baphomet a statue of Baphomet
And so what's Baphomet? Well?
Baphomet is basically a
A statue or an image of Satan if you've ever seen it looks like a goat man
Okay
You guys ever seen something like that where it's like the legs of a goat
The torso of a man the head of a goat and he's always doing something like this. Okay, that's Baphomet. Okay
It's the embodiment. It's the representation of Satan himself
This is what they put on their, you know, pentagram the head of Baphomet, etc
Well what they wanted to do they came to the state capital and said hey
We want to prop up Baphomet right next to the Ten Commandments and the guys are like we'll never take down the Ten Commandments
This is a Christian state. We'll never do that. That's unconstitutional all this stuff and they're like this
Oh, we don't want to take down the Ten Commandments. We want it to stay
We just want Baphomet next to the Ten Commandments and they said this if you take down the Ten Commandments
We don't want Baphomet to go up
We want them right next to each other
You know why he said because this is the United States of America and in the United States of America we believe in pluralism
the United States
Constitution promotes pluralism. This is what it means to be an American
They said to be an American is to tolerate other religions and to show that we can live amongst each other
They like they don't want we don't want to get rid of the Ten Commandments. We want the Ten Commandments there
We just want all gods to be presented there
The satanic temple is not interested in establishing itself as the sole arbiter of Satan practice satanic practice practices
Rather we are open to working with other self-identified satanic organizations to promote general recognition of satanic legitimacy
now
Are they succeeding? Yes, they are
You see
They're using apostate Christians own medicine against themselves
Because apostate Christians, let me just say this they don't this is not their final authority
Liberal Christians
Apostate Christians the liberal fund centers. This is not their final authority you go to the Bible belt
You know, it's called the Bible belt, but it's not the Bible belt. It's the Constitution belt
Because at the end of the day what they revere as being authoritative is not necessarily the Word of God is the United States
Constitution
You know, oh, you know, we should be Christians and we should have the liberty to go preach the gospel
Because the Bible says it no because the Constitution gives us the right to
You say well, what about you brother me here? Are you criticizing the Constitution? I'm a Christian and
As a Christian
I don't derive my authority to preach the gospel and preach the Word of God from the Constitution of the United States
Where do I get it from the Bible?
God gave me that authority God told me to do that. God gave me that commandment no matter what country I'm in
No matter what state I'm in. I am to be a Christian in all places regardless of the laws of the land
He said what if they be they make Christianity illegal? What if soul winning is illegal?
Guess what? The Bible says it's still not illegal
We ought to obey God
Rather than the man the Bible says and you know, the problem is today is we have Christians yay
Even independent fundamental Baptists who revere and love the Constitution far more than the Word of God
Well, guess what? The Satanists have not flipped that on them. Oh
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, we agree with you guys too because your beloved Constitution of the United States to be a real patriot an American
I'm an American
We're a Christian nation. No, you're a Christian slash a tannic slash Hindu slash Buddhist nation
Slash any kind of religion nation because the Constitution in the United States promotes
Pluralism and look the Christians. I don't know what to do. We're a Christian nation
How can this happen and raise a bath from it? You should have read the Constitution
You would have known that that they have the right to do that according to the Constitution
Okay
Most Christians are dependent on the Constitution more than the Word of God. They receive their instruction and
Their authority from the Constitution not the Bible
Pluralism is enshrined in the Constitution. The First Amendment ensues ensures that the right of free exercise in matters of
Religion, you know what these guys all they did was read the fine print
You
Know and that's why a lot of people are shocked. They're like, how can these devil worshipers come and who do they think they are?
It's like well, you should have had your foundation on the Word of God more than the Constitution
Because at the end of the day guess what I'm not a constitutionalist I'm a kjv onlyist
Right and as a cage of the only is the Bible teaches me that pluralism is wicked
Pluralism is anti-god wife because there is only one true God
Here's a statement against pluralism. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
No man cometh unto the Father but by me he said
That flies in the face of pluralism
That flies in the face of ecumenism. Why because it's offensive towards someone else who doesn't believe that
Okay
Go to 2nd Corinthians chapter number 6 if you would
Well, I thought the Bible teaches love for for everyone well, of course we have to and we should love everyone I
Love Catholics. I love Buddhists. I love Hindus. I don't love Satanists
But I love these other religions
Or not. I love the people who are found within these religions
Because a lot of them are just deceived
Okay, they're deceived they have been blinded by the God of this world and you know what they need to get saved
They need the gospel and many of these people who are not enthralled in these religions
But they claim it because you know their mom or dad they're a part of this church or whatever
These people need to get saved and we need to have genuine love towards them and want to win them to Christ and help
To get them saved, but you know what the religions are a part of is still wicked
according to God
you see
You will not find pluralism
anywhere in the Bible
Tolerance tolerance tolerance tolerance towards the LGBTQ. Let me know P
Tolerance towards any type of religion. That's not what the Bible says
Look we got to ask ourselves. Are we Bible believing Christians or not?
You know
What is our final authority look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 6 and verse 14? It can't get more clearer than this
Verse 14 says be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers
For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? Oh, well, that's not referring to religions
It's just you know, you shouldn't be around murderers and you shouldn't have fellowship with people like that
What communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath christ with belial?
By the way belial is just another name for satan
What is what what what does the temple of satan what is their agenda they want to be our friends
They want to be able to fellowship with us that we can agree on together and fight social injustice and bullying in the public schools
And all these things god says you have no concord with the sons of belial
You have no concord with satan
You have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness
And in fact the bible says have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness
But rather reprove them
Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel what agreement hath the temple of god with idols
What agreement is there between first works baptist church and baphomet there is no agreement with baphomet
You know this statue that they built is baphomet with two children
Next to him looking up at him
You know like in admiration
That's wicked
There's no there's no agreement. There's no tolerance of that
And look these guys
In phoenix arizona the chapter that's in phoenix arizona
They wanted to be a part of the invocation of the state capital in other words
You know, they how they pray and they open up in a word of prayer. Well, they'll open it up to different
Denominations and different types of religious organizations, but once the satanists came in to try to do that. Oh, no, no, no way
It's like well hold on a second
We're just another religious organization, too
Yeah, but we're a christian nation
So are you a christian nation or are you a pluralistic nation?
Because the constitution says that this is a nation of pluralism and we have the right to come and pray
So what they did is they just threw out the prayer just in its entirety. They're not even doing it anymore
You know, this is what happens when you show apostate christians
What the constitution actually says
Okay
He says there
What agreement at the temple of god with itis for you are the temple of the living god as god had said
I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their god and they shall be my people
Wherefore come out from among them and be separate saith the lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you
You see god does not like pluralism. He doesn't like ecumenicism. He doesn't want us to intermingle with different religions
Oh, you know, it's all same, you know, it's all different roads to the same god wrong. It's not
It's by faith alone through jesus christ. There's no name, uh given among men whereby we must be saved
You know, the only name is jesus christ
That's what the bible says
Go to second john, if you would second john, let's look at some more examples here second john
And look mark it down
There's going to come a time in our country where yea even satanist
Will have the liberty to practice they'll be embraced. They'll be tolerated by even christians. I guarantee it
Why because the more you stray away from the word of god?
The more you reckon the more you don't recognize the bible as being the sole authority the more you just embrace anything
And they'll say well, you know, they they claim to be saying this but you know, we just just gotta love everyone
We just gotta try to get along with everyone, you know, and these people are noble they're picking up trash on the highways
They're holding after-school programs
you know, they're um
They're doing all these, you know, they're doing society a favor. They're not sacrificing children
They're not molesting kids. They're not murdering people. They're standing up for people's rights
I mean they even have a billboard with with baphomet in the pentagram and it says, you know
standing up for uh violence in schools talking about bullying
They're capitalizing
on these social injustices of today
And here's the thing people are going to embrace that and you know, who's going to be the bully next we're going to be the bullies
They're going to say bully, you know, that's unacceptable. We can't tolerate bullying the christians
They're the bullies
We got to get rid of the christians because they're bullying everyone. They're not willing to tolerate
You see they're going to fit the mold
of this new world religion
Okay
And look it could be
that much of the symbol I mean
The the mark of the beast the number of of the antichrist is what 666
They got that in the bag already
They have it tattooed on their neck on their bodies, you know, they accept these things
It's not going to be hard for them to integrate into this new world religion
Look at second john verse 10
Let's see if pluralism exists in the bible
If there come any unto you
And bring not this doctrine
Receive him not into your house neither bid him god speed
You know what he's saying if anybody comes to your house that does not have the doctrines of the word of god
You're not even supposed to welcome them into your home
You're misinterpreting that
We could read it again. It's just it says what it says
Amen
He says neither bid him god speed. What does that mean? Don't say god bless you
Oh, I don't see nothing wrong with telling the joe's witness god bless you
Well, let's see what god says verse verse 11 for he that biddeth him god speed is partaker of his evil deeds
I think god is pretty dogmatic
God doesn't mess around
God is like if you tell him god speed in my eyes you're working with him
You're a partaker of his evil deeds. You're just as bad as that person is
You know, we're not even supposed to welcome. No don't receive any any materials from them unless you're gonna you know tonight
You know, don't welcome them into your home. Well, I just want to debate them god says don't
Don't be a partaker of their evil deeds according to the bible. This is not pluralism
This is not religious tolerance
Religious pluralism religious tolerance says oh welcome and welcome them in have a have a friendly discussion
Find common ground
See, you know find out what you you can agree on and just you leave the stuff that you don't agree on alone, you know
Don't don't we hear that today even amongst christians?
Amongst liberal christians that try to just get along with everyone. Hey, that's not the god of the bible
Well, that's not how jesus would behave well, let's see how jesus what jesus said right go to matthew chapter 10
matthew chapter number 10
So we see in second corinthians chapter 6 that we're to have no fellowship no concord
We're not to agree with them. There's supposed to be a distinction a complete separation and look i'm not just talking about the sameness
I'm talking about any religious group that rejects the word of god
Okay
Now we're not amish
Where it's just like us four no more
And as soon as we see anybody down the street, it's like unclean
We want to win them amen
But once they reject it at that point we walk away
But second corinthian six does not teach pluralism second john 10 and 11 doesn't teach pluralism
Oh, you're just being divisive you got that right
Amen
Look at matthew 1034
This is jesus. Okay our savior
the lord god
Think not that i'm come to send peace on earth. Oh, wait what?
That's jesus you're not being christ-like
You're not being like jesus
That's not very christ like jesus
Amen think not that i'm come to send peace on earth I came not to send peace but a sword
Angster he's like i'm not trying to make peace
I'm bringing a sword
And it's not for paddling either
Verse 35 for I am come
to set a man
at variance
against his father
What does variance mean to disagree?
He's like i'm coming to divide you and your family
whoa
Those are strong words
How can I keep that from happening? Make sure you guys agree
On who god is on salvation
on heaven and hell
You know, but here he says i'm gonna say look this
Has been fulfilled
over and over and over throughout history
And i'm sure there's people here who could attest to that that they've had division or disagreements with their family because of their faith
Well, jesus said I came to set a variance, you know
A man against his father the daughter
against her mother
Now this one didn't need jesus's help the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law
I'm, just kidding
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household why because of jesus
Because he creates division
Because he doesn't believe in pluralism
He doesn't believe in ecumenicism
Okay
These are strong words
You know, how many of you have seen that the the bumper sticker? No, jesus. No, peace. No, jesus. No, peace, right?
It's like if there's no jesus then there's no peace, but you know, jesus, you know, peace right?
Well, jesus said look both of you guys are wrong
Because I came not to send peace on the earth I came to bring a sword go to matthew 12
A couple chapters afterwards go to matthew chapter 12
I still think that he tolerates people and you're just you're too radical
You remind me of those radical islam and stuff, you know with the sharia law
I'm just quoting what jesus said and if what jesus said makes me a radical then amen to that
Okay
Look at matthew 12 verse 30
He that is not with me is against me man
And look he said this without even being an earthly without his kingdom
Not even being established as of yet
He came lowly the first time right?
Came lowly, you know, he did not have a physical kingdom as of yet
The son of man hath not where to lay his head. The bible says he was not revered. He was not esteemed
He was not loved and yet he said if you're not with me you're against me
Try to call tell me how many times you've heard that verse preached from in in churches
Where where jesus said hey if you're not with me you're against me that's pretty that's pretty dogmatic there
Right, that's actually pretty offensive today
Where's like hey if you're not with jesus you're against jesus
Well, I love jesus. Well, you know the bible says if you love me keep my commandments his commandments
These are good verses. Amen
He that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad
You see what is jesus doing he is dividing that line
He's creating that line and saying if you're with me you need to come on this side
If you're not then you're against me because there is no in between
There is no kumbaya
There is no whole, you know joining hands with one another and just agreeing on the common ground and leaving our disagreements
outside
That doesn't exist with jesus
Jesus said no, this is the way it works
If you don't accept me as your savior
There's hell
Like do you think about this? Is there something in between other than where we're at right now?
for souls
There's heaven
And then there's hell
How do you get to either or well if you want eternal life
The bible says you have to trust christ as your savior not do good works
By the way, that is something that all religions agree on
Is that you have to do good works in order to be saved
You have to be a good person don't drink don't sin go to church
Keep the commandments do this do that get baptized. I mean the list goes on and on and on and on
However, the one true religion
Which is based off of faith in christ says this it's by faith alone in jesus christ
It's the only religion that actually teaches to get saved to go to heaven
All you have to do is believe on the lord jesus christ and now shall be saved
You don't have to come to our church
You don't have to do good deeds. You don't have to try to keep all of god's commandments
You don't have to do anything other than just believe on christ
But it had and by the way, it's not just by believing
It's by believing on christ
Well, I believe yeah, but you have to believe on jesus christ
That's how it works
You know and the bible says this he that believeth on the sun hath everlasting life
He that believeth not the sun shall not see life
But the wrath of god abideth on him the bible says
That's the division that he makes
So if you don't believe on christ, what does the bible say?
God's wrath is on you
And look god is not going to hold some open mic in heaven
At the judgment seat the white throne judgment and say well, you know, let's give everyone a chance to just make their case
Okay, you didn't trust my son as your savior, let's see what kind of good deeds you've done
There is no open mic in heaven
The books were open and then the book of life was open and he's just going to tell you you're not here
And they're cast out into outer darkness where they shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, but pluralism god
God's like I don't believe in pluralism
I never taught pluralism
Last last chapter here last verse here go to deuteronomy chapter 13
Deuteronomy 13
You see the god of the bible is a god
who rarely
You know these christians apostate christians really even know about
Because of the fact that most pastors and churches choose not to preach from these verses because they are offensive
They do not create unity amongst the masses
But god never intended to create unity amongst the masses
He intended for people to be saved through jesus christ and you want and if you don't want christ
then
Eternal damnation awaits. That's just the way it works
But the bible tells us that god commanded his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners christ died for us
So yes, is god a god of judgment and wrath? Absolutely, but he's a god of love, too
And that love that love was elevated that love was demonstrated when he what when he sent his son jesus christ to die for us
Okay, and if we believe on him we can have eternal life and he'll love us with an everlasting love. Amen
But let me show you a chapter here where a lot of christians stay away from okay
because
In deuteronomy you have israel living under a theocracy
We're not under a theocracy right now
We're under the united states of america
Where the authority even amongst christians is the constitution, right?
But back in these days it was a theocracy let me say this
This will one day be implemented again in the millennial reign when jesus christ comes to rule and reign here on this earth for a thousand
years
Okay, so there will be a time what the bible tells us that the government shall be upon his shoulders
He will rule the world the bible says with the rod of iron now with an open mic
With the rod of iron, what does that mean?
He's going to be very strict and he's going to implement his rules his laws in this land
Let me show you one of those rules and laws because let's because look even in in the thousand year reign satanists will exist
Yeah
Because there will be a time when satan is released
From the bottomless pit to deceive the nations and to gather all them together to fight against god. What do we call those people?
satanist
But look what it says in deuteronomy 13 verse 1
Let me show you how pluralistic god is here
Or how much he's not right?
If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and giveth thee a sign or a wonder
And the sign or the wonder come to pass whereof he spake unto thee saying let us go after other gods
Which thou has not known and let us serve them
So in other words, what do we have here? We have an incident where someone comes to you and says hey
Let's go serve another god a god who's not the god of the bible a god who's not jesus christ
What are they supposed to do they're supposed to say well, you know what we're supposed to tolerate everyone
This is pluralism right here
We disagree on other gods, but I can I can come visit your satanic temple
I can go visit your buddhist temple
We disagree on a lot of stuff but hey you seem like a noble guy
All right
verse three
Thou shall not hearken into the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams for the lord your god
Proveth you to know whether you love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul
Ye shall walk after the lord your god and fear him
And keep his commandments and obey his voice and he shall serve him and cleave unto him
Wow, he's looks like he wants like 100 loyalty
Right
He's like no you need to keep his commandments obey his voice serve him cleave unto him him him
Well, you know why because it's all about him
Verse five and that prophet or the dreamer of dreams shall be put to death
What are you supposed to do with all these people according to the bible you're supposed to put them to death
This is how strongly god feels against pluralism. Amen think about that
Because he had spoken to turn you away from the lord your god, you say why would god do that?
Well, one of the names of god is jealous
Capital j he says my name is jealous
So jealous that if you were to go and serve other gods god says you deserve the death penalty
That's extreme
But it's god's word
He has spoken to you to turn away
From the lord your god
Which brought you out of the land of egypt and redeem you out of the house of bondage to thrust you away
Thrust thee out of the way which the lord thy god commanded thee to walk in
So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee
Verse six now look what it says if thy brother
Man now we're getting into some like really offensive things here if thy brother the son of thy mother
Or thy son or thy daughter or the wife of thy bosom or thy friend which is as thine own soul
I mean, he's covering all bases here
He's like anyway your tio your tia
to primo
to carnal to cunado
I mean he's covering everyone
Or the wife of thy bosom or thy friend which is as thine own soul, that's your carnal right there entice thee secretly
Saying let us go and serve other gods which thou has not known thou nor thy fathers
Namely of the gods of the people which are around about you
Nigh unto thee or far off from thee from one end of the earth even until the other end of the earth
Thou shall not consent unto him pluralism is wrong. He's saying
Nor hearken unto him and neither
Shall thine eye pity him. Why was why why is he saying that?
What is what does it mean to pity someone with your eyes? It's just to have compassion. It's like oh, man
But why would he say that?
Well, because it says there neither shalt thou spare neither shalt thou conceal him, but thou shall surely kill him
Very sobering, isn't it?
Now, let me just make something very clear. This is not something that we're supposed to do today
Okay, we don't have the right we don't have the authority from god
to put
idolaters satanists to death
But let me say this
during that time
The people of god did and there will come a time when it's implemented again in the millennial reign
It's fact
Because god is not bringing in a new law in the millennial reign. He's reinstating this old law
Okay
I thought god was a god of love. Well, the way he expresses his love is by getting rid of that which is evil
He says that but thou shall surely kill him thine hand
Shall be first upon him to put him to death and afterwards the hand of all the people
And now shall stone him with stones
That he die because he has sought to thrust thee away from the lord thy god
Which brought thee out of the land of egypt from the house of bondage and all israel shall hear and fear
And shall do no more any such wickedness
As this is among you
If thou shall hear say in one of thy cities which the lord thy god hath given thee to dwell there to dwell
They're saying certain men the children of bilio, you know, the the baphomet people the satanists
Are gone out from among you and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city saying let us go and serve other gods
Which he have not known then shall thou inquire make search and as diligently and behold if it be truth
And the thing certain that such abomination is wrought among you thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword
Destroying it utterly and all that is therein and the cattle thereof with the edge of the sword. What is this?
This is anti-pluralism
at its finest
Where god said if anybody serves any other god smite them stone with stones
They deserve the death penalty and let me say that satanists deserve the death penalty
Because of their blasphemy against god because they turn against the lord they're seeking to turn our country to thrust us
Away from god to thrust the next generation the young children away from god
To push people away from the truth to blaspheme the name of god
God says they deserve the death penalty
But god, we're a constitution
Christians are not constitutionists. We're bible believing. Kjv only is is what we are
And the bible tells us
We have no fellowship with that. We don't agree with that. And you know what christians today need to wake up
And stop falling on fox news
Stop depending on the constitution and fox news and bill o'reilly and sean hannity
And uh, what's the other guy's name?
Ben shapiro, thank you ben shapiro
And only depend on these people like oh, you know these judeo christians. No only christian
They need to wake up because here's the thing this is what they get by the way, this is what they get right
Right
We're a christian nation the constitution and then the satan's come and say yeah. Yeah, we're our constitution
So let us put a bat from it
Yeah, you're right. We're like what in the world but you know what if they were bible believing christians like us
You would say well actually deuteronomy 13
Says that you deserve that
I'm not plural. I'm not a pluralistic christian at all
I believe in division
Because the vision makes a distinction what if you went to the store to go purchase food and there was no labels on the food
Like what should I get?
Labels are necessary. Amen
So what's the sermon today? The sermon is this is that satanism is on the rise?
And ultimately there will be no labels in the old in the new world order
I'm sure satanism will even be taken out along with the buddhist along with the christians and there's just going to come this one name
That basically identifies the religion of the new world order because labels divide
And they're going to recognize that
Okay
And so the reason i'm preaching this is to help us to basically be reminded
That yes, we're americans, but you know what even above that
We're we're christians
But we're not to use the constitution or any other writing
As our foundation for truth and what we where we derive our rights from
This is where we get it from
So study your bible read your bible
Allow this to be the core of your beliefs and the reasons that you do the things that you do
Not some man-made document. This is not a man-made document
This is god's word
Amen inspire heads and have a word of prayer father. We thank you so much for your word
And uh lord, thank you for making it so clear and so many pastors of yesteryear
They they avoided these verses
Because it didn't teach pluralism it didn't teach religious freedom and tolerance and lord
We as bible believing christians we need to adhere to these scriptures and these principles that you teach here
and if our rights are taken away from this country from exercising our right to
To preach the gospel to preach freely of the word of god and any principle found there in
That doesn't mean anything to us. They're going to have to come and take us
They're going to have to shut us down
They're going to have to destroy our lives and even then you will make sure that your word still spreads
far and wide
And I pray god that you continue to use us as a church our people to see many people saved
And to rescue them lord from false doctrine
And the and the clutches of satan through the deception that is found within our culture
We love you so much and we thank you pray these things in jesus name. Amen
