WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.800 We'll give it just one. 00:05.800 --> 00:08.640 Yeah, let's go ahead. 00:08.640 --> 00:10.640 We're going to start 165. 00:10.640 --> 00:12.640 Two minutes early. 00:12.640 --> 00:16.840 We're usually a minute late, so we'll just make up for it today. 00:16.840 --> 00:19.840 165 on the first. 00:19.840 --> 00:40.240 Oh, worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love. 00:40.240 --> 00:54.240 Our shield and defender, the ancient of days, Pavilion is splendor and girded with praise. 00:54.240 --> 01:07.240 Oh, tell of his might and sing of his praise, Whose robe is the light, whose gem yet be spazed. 01:07.240 --> 01:21.240 His chariot of radiance deep under clouds form, And dark is his path from the wings of the storm. 01:21.240 --> 01:34.240 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite, It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, 01:34.240 --> 01:41.240 It streamed from the hills, it descended from the plain, 01:41.240 --> 01:48.240 To end the reign. 01:48.240 --> 02:01.240 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find we to fail. 02:01.240 --> 02:16.240 Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 02:16.240 --> 02:20.240 Sorry, I lost my place in that third one. I was like, where are we? 02:20.240 --> 02:23.240 So, all right, well, welcome to Springcrest Baptist Church. 02:23.240 --> 02:27.240 I'll have Gentry, if you can pass out some bulletins, we'll remove it. 02:27.240 --> 02:32.240 If you don't have a bulletin, they're back there in the back, and Gentry will get you one. 02:32.240 --> 02:44.240 And today is May 17th. 02:44.240 --> 02:51.240 We have, sorry, I'm getting a text from Brother Mike, because I asked him, he's from the baby, but his mom already let me know. 02:51.240 --> 03:01.240 So, we have our service time, Sunday morning, 10.30 a.m., Sunday evening, 4.30, Wednesday service, 5.30 p.m., and then our sole winning time is 2 p.m. 03:01.240 --> 03:17.240 I already told Brother Jerry, but Brother Matt, just so you guys know, I have a personal thing with my daughter today between services, I probably won't go sole winning, so if you guys, you know, I mean, you guys handle it anyways, but I just won't be there with you guys today. 03:17.240 --> 03:21.240 Although I did go sole winning earlier in the week, so that kind of makes up for that. 03:21.240 --> 03:31.240 So, the verse of the week is Philippians 1.26, that you're rejoicing, baby, more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by coming to you again. 03:31.240 --> 03:37.240 And then once again, we are a family integrated church. We encourage the families to be together. 03:37.240 --> 03:45.240 The only thing I would say is, of course, if the babies are getting out of hand, then we have a mother-baby room in the back, and that's specifically what it is, a mother-baby room. 03:45.240 --> 03:53.240 We live stream the services there, no men, no older children, just the mamas and the babies, so they can take care of whatever they need to. 03:53.240 --> 04:01.240 And then year to date, we have 545 souls, one for the year, so, you know, praise the Lord, we're kicking it up a notch. 04:01.240 --> 04:06.240 And like I said, the month of May was the only one, God willing, we'll get back on track. 04:06.240 --> 04:13.240 Just I knew we had the anti-Israel conference coming up. I knew I was trying to get there, which is coming up next week. 04:13.240 --> 04:21.240 So after this, we'll get back to like, we do need to put together a church work day and then, of course, some sole winning marathons. 04:21.240 --> 04:30.240 In the summer, we'll just focus locally, and then we'll add those college sole winning marathons in the fall. 04:30.240 --> 04:37.240 And then the birthdays right there, you've got Lily Lavec on the 14th, and then Lily Maludic. 04:37.240 --> 04:42.240 I mean, she just had her birthday, and then the Maludic's, their baby's on the 20th. 04:42.240 --> 04:51.240 And then upcoming activities, the anti-Israel conference is coming up this week. It starts Wednesday, and it's all the way to next Sunday. 04:51.240 --> 04:58.240 I was only going to be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but I was graciously invited to speak in Spanish on Sunday. 04:58.240 --> 05:04.240 So Brother Mike and Brother, I mean, and Pastor Cobb will be preaching next Sunday. 05:04.240 --> 05:11.240 And I'll just get with you, Brother Jerry and Brother Trey, but you know, it doesn't have, the order of service is pretty easy. 05:11.240 --> 05:16.240 So, you know, and Pastor Cobb, I mean, I think you can handle it, right? You've only been doing this for 50 years. 05:16.240 --> 05:22.240 So if you have to make up an order of service, I think it'd come back to you. So I'm not too concerned. You're a good head. 05:23.240 --> 05:29.240 And I just pray for the expecting mothers, Christian Rogers and Marcel Wycliffe. 05:29.240 --> 05:34.240 And then congratulations to the new baby, the Mike Maludic. 05:34.240 --> 05:44.240 And it's MA. Sorry, guys, I should have seen the one. Baby Maludic was born. It's Jonah Lee, nine pounds, 16 ounces. 05:44.240 --> 05:49.240 And it was, she was born, or I mean, sorry, he was born on Mother's Day. 05:49.240 --> 05:53.240 So, you know, if you have a chance, send him a congratulations. 05:53.240 --> 06:06.240 As a matter of fact, we were leaving last Sunday evening and I think I told Capriage and maybe he was the only one that were like we were actually really he sent me the text with the information. 06:06.240 --> 06:12.240 I think they call him Jonah the whale. So when you meet the baby, he said, aka Jonah the whale. 06:12.240 --> 06:22.240 So, and then just a couple of housekeeping items right there for the, you know, all the rules, the biggest thing just to get toddlers or small children. 06:22.240 --> 06:27.240 Then the parents make take the rest of the room or get them their snacks or water, whatever. 06:27.240 --> 06:33.240 And on the back, we have the prayer request. I think we've got everybody that needs to be covered. 06:33.240 --> 06:43.240 I haven't gotten any updates on that. And then, unless anything else, is there any other announcements that we need to cover? 06:43.240 --> 06:46.240 There was something else I was trying to think of. 06:46.240 --> 06:52.240 It'll come to me. All right. If nothing else, turn your hymnals over to page 22. 06:52.240 --> 07:00.240 22. 07:00.240 --> 07:03.240 22. 07:03.240 --> 07:17.240 On the first. 07:17.240 --> 07:23.240 Have you been? 07:23.240 --> 07:28.240 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, guys. I heard it wrong. I'm the one who answered wrong. 07:28.240 --> 07:34.240 I'm the one that just ignored me. This is why we need a song leader, someone who actually knows what they're doing. Go ahead. 07:34.240 --> 07:42.240 Give us a Detroit test. I apologize. 07:42.240 --> 07:51.240 Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 07:51.240 --> 08:00.240 Are you fully trusted in his grace, this sour power you watched in the blood of the lamb? 08:00.240 --> 08:09.240 Are you washed in the blood, in the soul cleansing blood of the lamb? 08:09.240 --> 08:18.240 Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 08:18.240 --> 08:27.240 Are you walking daily by the Savior's side? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 08:27.240 --> 08:35.240 Do you rest each moment in the crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 08:35.240 --> 08:43.240 Are you washed in the blood, in the soul cleansing blood of the lamb? 08:43.240 --> 08:52.240 Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 08:52.240 --> 09:01.240 When the bridegroom cometh, will your robe be white? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 09:01.240 --> 09:10.240 Will you slowly be ready for the mansion's bride, and be washed in the blood of the lamb? 09:10.240 --> 09:18.240 Are you washed in the blood, in the soul cleansing blood of the lamb? 09:18.240 --> 09:27.240 Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 09:27.240 --> 09:35.240 Lay aside the garments, dinner's named with sin, and be washed in the blood of the lamb. 09:35.240 --> 09:44.240 There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, oh be washed in the blood of the lamb. 09:44.240 --> 09:52.240 Are you washed in the blood, in the soul cleansing blood of the lamb? 09:52.240 --> 10:00.240 Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? 10:22.240 --> 10:40.240 Take my life and let it be, consecrate it Lord to me. 10:40.240 --> 10:56.240 Take my hands and let them move, at the impulse of thy love, at the impulse of thy love. 10:56.240 --> 11:06.240 Take my feet and let them be, swift and beautiful for thee. 11:06.240 --> 11:22.240 Take my voice and let me sing, always holy for my King, always holy for my King. 11:22.240 --> 11:32.240 Take my silver and my gold, not of mine would I win gold. 11:32.240 --> 11:42.240 Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. 11:42.240 --> 11:52.240 Take my will and bring it thine, it shall be no longer mine. 11:52.240 --> 12:02.240 Take my heart it is thine own, it shall be thy royal throne. 12:02.240 --> 12:12.240 It shall be thy royal throne. 12:32.240 --> 12:48.240 Galatians chapter 1, Galatians chapter 1. 12:48.240 --> 12:59.240 Galatians chapter 1, verse 1, the Bible reads, Paul an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead. 12:59.240 --> 13:22.240 And all the brethren which are with me unto the churches of Galatia, grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 13:22.240 --> 13:36.240 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel, which is not another, but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 13:36.240 --> 13:46.240 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you in that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 13:46.240 --> 13:58.240 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 13:58.240 --> 14:09.240 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 14:09.240 --> 14:22.240 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14:22.240 --> 14:40.240 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God and wasted it, and profited in the Jews religion above many, my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 14:40.240 --> 14:55.240 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace to reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the heathen, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. 14:55.240 --> 15:05.240 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia and returned again into Damascus. 15:05.240 --> 15:17.240 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and abode with him fifteen days, but other of the apostles saw I none, save James, the Lord's brother. 15:17.240 --> 15:34.240 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God I lie not. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and was unknown by faith unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ. 15:34.240 --> 15:46.240 But they had heard only that he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorify God in me. 15:46.240 --> 15:52.240 As far as I can go, Lord in prayer. Father, thank you for your word, thank you for this church, thank you for gathering us here this morning. 15:52.240 --> 16:05.240 Lord, thank you for adopting us into your family. Lord, we ask that you soften our hearts and give us ears to hear so that we may receive the message and allow it to change us and make us be better servants to you, Lord. 16:05.240 --> 16:14.240 Also, please fill Pastor Reyes with your spirit and allow him to preach boldness and clarity from your culprit. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen. 16:14.240 --> 16:22.240 All right. We're there in Galatians, Galatians 1. 16:22.240 --> 16:29.240 I'll just get my timer here. 16:29.240 --> 16:41.240 All right. We're there in Galatians 1, and we're going to continue this probably this lifelong series. 16:41.240 --> 16:47.240 I don't know if it's lifelong, but it definitely be for a while on the Church from Hell. 16:47.240 --> 16:52.240 And last year I did Church from Hell, the Catholics and the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witness. 16:52.240 --> 17:01.240 And then there's one particular religion that I've been holding off for a long time just because every time I think about it, I just get fired up and it's the religion I came out of. 17:01.240 --> 17:09.240 And so today I'll be preaching the Church from Hell, the Seventh-day Adventists. 17:09.240 --> 17:21.240 And, you know, the Seventh-day Adventists is a really deceptive religion because in many ways it's a religion that looks like the Baptists. 17:21.240 --> 17:24.240 Their service, their order of service is very similar. 17:24.240 --> 17:30.240 If you were to walk into a Baptist, I mean, an Adventist church today, as a matter of fact, there's one right here off of Hammerley in the Bellway. 17:30.240 --> 17:32.240 It looks like a Baptist building. 17:32.240 --> 17:36.240 If you were to sit through their services, the only difference would be that it'd be on a Saturday. 17:36.240 --> 17:40.240 It would feel very similar to what we are doing right now, especially in the Old Guard. 17:40.240 --> 17:43.240 It has a very similar cadence. 17:43.240 --> 17:54.240 As a matter of fact, one of the only things that really was helpful when I first got saved was that transitioning to a Baptist church wasn't hard as other than the day because everything was very similar. 17:54.240 --> 17:56.240 The hymns are the same. 17:56.240 --> 18:02.240 And of course, they all, all the churches, whether they're right on the gospel or not, have this dilution, right? 18:02.240 --> 18:07.240 So nowadays, I think Seventh Adventists have moved to the more contemporary and all that stuff. 18:07.240 --> 18:15.240 But those issues, you know, they pale in comparison to just how evil and deceptive of a false religion it is, right? 18:15.240 --> 18:19.240 And let's look right there real quick before we get there to the crux of the matter. 18:19.240 --> 18:23.240 And right there in verse number six of Galatians, the Bible says, 18:32.240 --> 18:34.240 I mean, Paul here says, 18:34.240 --> 19:02.240 I mean, Paul here says it twice. 19:02.240 --> 19:05.240 He's like, hey, let me just reiterate this point. 19:05.240 --> 19:11.240 If anybody comes and just preaches anything outside of the Bible, they're cursed. 19:11.240 --> 19:15.240 And what the challenge here he's having in the Church of Galatians, hey, they got saved. 19:15.240 --> 19:20.240 And then you got these people who are work salvation and they're getting enough off the beaten path. 19:20.240 --> 19:27.240 Right. So obviously, false prophets, devils can lead saved individuals astray. 19:27.240 --> 19:31.240 Right. A Christian can be saved and still be involved in false faith. 19:31.240 --> 19:34.240 And we're all in false heresies. 19:34.240 --> 19:39.240 I mean, or you have false doctrines and maybe not damnable heresies. 19:39.240 --> 19:43.240 Right. And so we need to be very careful with the religions of the world. 19:43.240 --> 19:47.240 And one of the things that separates Baptist is independent Baptist, 19:47.240 --> 19:56.240 heart preaching Baptist from the rest of the evangelical movements is that we're willing to call out any religion that it doesn't align with the word of God. 19:56.240 --> 19:58.240 Right. People will get offended at this. 19:58.240 --> 20:03.240 As a matter of fact, I was talking to a family member and I had told them about, you know, what I was going to preach this this week. 20:03.240 --> 20:06.240 And they're like, I wish you wouldn't preach that stuff because there's why. 20:06.240 --> 20:10.240 Why do you have to be so offensive? I'm not offensive. 20:10.240 --> 20:12.240 This is offensive to the word of God. Right. 20:12.240 --> 20:16.240 This is an attack on people for twenty five years of my life. 20:16.240 --> 20:20.240 And, you know, obviously I grew up a little bit Catholic. 20:20.240 --> 20:23.240 And what I mean by a little bit is because who's ever met a true Catholic? 20:23.240 --> 20:24.240 I've never really met one. 20:24.240 --> 20:25.240 I mean, maybe I have. 20:25.240 --> 20:28.240 Well, actually, I've met like one in my life, like a hardcore Catholic. 20:28.240 --> 20:30.240 Everybody else is like Catholic light. Right. 20:30.240 --> 20:32.240 They just show up. They pay their penance. 20:32.240 --> 20:33.240 Then they move on with their life. 20:33.240 --> 20:42.240 But then when we got to the States, you know, my dad had some doctor friends and they convinced them that this was the religion of the educated. 20:42.240 --> 20:46.240 And so we just plugged into a Seventh-day Adventist Church from like the age of eight. 20:46.240 --> 20:52.200 My eight, you know, my parents were older, of course, but from the age of eight till about twenty five, that's where, you know, I got those were my formidable 20:52.200 --> 21:02.200 years. I spent them in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, going to church on Saturday, you know, being involved in the Maranatha Club, which is like the equivalent of like the Boy Scouts. 21:02.200 --> 21:06.200 Like I went to their camps and I did, you know, I got baptized there, all those things. 21:06.200 --> 21:10.200 And then when I got when I finally figured it out, I was like I was really not happy about it. 21:10.200 --> 21:14.200 Right. Because they make you think that you're saved when you're not. 21:14.200 --> 21:17.200 So right here, I have a little note on verse number six. 21:17.200 --> 21:20.200 It says, I marvel that you are so soon removed from him. 21:20.200 --> 21:23.200 They called you unto the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. 21:23.200 --> 21:25.200 And that's where I'm going to start. 21:25.200 --> 21:27.200 I'm going to give you just a brief history. 21:27.200 --> 21:29.200 This is going to be more of a lesson. 21:29.200 --> 21:32.200 I must start with a man by the name of William Miller. 21:32.200 --> 21:33.200 William Miller. 21:33.200 --> 21:45.200 What's interesting is William Miller was a Baptist before he was anything else, but he was only a Baptist in name because obviously anybody who saved by grace would never do anything so egregious and get off the ground. 21:45.200 --> 21:51.200 You can get off, but you definitely wouldn't lead a movement of stupidity like this guy did. 21:51.200 --> 21:54.200 And just I'm going to give you some bullet points of what I'm going to cover them. 21:54.200 --> 21:56.200 I'm just going to cover them in detail. 21:56.200 --> 22:01.200 I'm going to show you just like the Mormons, just like the Jehovah's Witness, just like the Catholics. 22:01.200 --> 22:04.200 The Seventh-day Adventists are kind of nuts. 22:04.200 --> 22:07.200 The difference is they're not going to tell you upfront. 22:07.200 --> 22:13.200 Whereas the Mormons, you know, I guess they've gotten more bold in their behavior. 22:13.200 --> 22:23.200 I mean, remember when I preached on the Mormons, I had that one guy calling me trying to tell me that, you know, he could teach me the doctrines of the Mormons that I didn't know what I was talking about. 22:23.200 --> 22:27.200 I was like, bro, you're I don't know what you're smoking, but I don't need to talk to you about it. 22:27.200 --> 22:28.200 I have the Bible. 22:28.200 --> 22:31.200 But, you know, they the religion was established. 22:31.200 --> 22:36.200 It came out of the Second Great Awakening, which was somewhere in the mid-1800s. 22:36.200 --> 22:41.200 And the religion eventually got established in 1863. 22:41.200 --> 22:44.200 And they if you go to their website, it's on there. 22:44.200 --> 22:47.200 They have 28 fundamental beliefs. 22:47.200 --> 22:49.200 I'm not going to go through all of those. 22:49.200 --> 22:52.200 Some of those are kind of wild, just to say the least. 22:52.200 --> 22:53.200 But here's the thing. 22:53.200 --> 22:56.200 They have 20 million members worldwide. 22:56.200 --> 22:59.200 You know, and they do a lot of mission. 22:59.200 --> 23:06.200 They, you know, it makes me think of that verse where it says you go you go around the world and you make them twice. 23:06.200 --> 23:08.200 You know, the children of hell, right? 23:08.200 --> 23:11.200 That you go and proselytes is talking about the saddest and the fairest. 23:11.200 --> 23:15.200 They love going to all these foreign countries and just recruiting. 23:15.200 --> 23:22.200 You know, if you run into like the reason I know so much about the Filipino culture and the reason like I talked to some of the Filipinos in our area. 23:22.200 --> 23:28.200 And I know like about chicken adobo and pancet and all that's because for a long time in the early 90s, 23:28.200 --> 23:36.200 there was this big movement where these Filipino guys would charge, you know, 10, 20 thousand dollars to these Filipino nurses. 23:36.200 --> 23:39.200 Usually the females and they would bring them into the states. 23:39.200 --> 23:42.200 I mean, Trey and I knew guys who that's how they made their money. 23:42.200 --> 23:46.200 They were making like 100 K a month because they were bringing in these Filipino nurses 23:46.200 --> 23:49.200 and they infiltrated the entire medical system here in the. 23:49.200 --> 23:53.200 I don't know if it's the whole US, but definitely here in Texas and down in the valley. 23:53.200 --> 23:59.200 There was a bunch of Filipino nurses and they happen also be Seventh Day Adventists and it was just like wild. 23:59.200 --> 24:01.200 So, you know, they'll do that. 24:01.200 --> 24:03.200 And then they love being in like the martial arts. 24:03.200 --> 24:11.200 And, you know, what's that island that Sheila Jackson Lee said that was going to tip over because there's too many people Guam, Guam. 24:11.200 --> 24:14.200 They go so many like all over the place. 24:14.200 --> 24:15.200 Just weird stuff. 24:15.200 --> 24:16.200 Right. 24:16.200 --> 24:23.200 And the biggest differentiating factor, they'll tell you this is why it's so important to learn what the enemy is doing is they just say, 24:23.200 --> 24:24.200 hey, we're like you. 24:24.200 --> 24:30.200 And the reason I know this is because that's how I was trained when I was trying to proselyte the enemy. 24:30.200 --> 24:39.200 I was trained when I was trying to proselyte other Adventists that would say, hey, we're like Baptist, except we go to church on Saturday, which is not true. 24:39.200 --> 24:41.200 They're not anything like Baptist at all. 24:41.200 --> 24:42.200 Right. 24:42.200 --> 24:43.200 They're they're actually devil. 24:43.200 --> 24:52.200 So as a way of introduction, you know, just Seventh Day Adventists Seventh Day Adventists will present themselves as Christians. 24:52.200 --> 24:53.200 Right. 24:53.200 --> 24:55.200 But the challenge is what were they built on? 24:55.200 --> 24:57.200 Well, there's a couple of things that we really need to pay attention to. 24:57.200 --> 24:59.200 And that's why I'm starting with William Miller. 24:59.200 --> 25:02.200 They're built on a failed prophecy. 25:02.200 --> 25:04.200 And that was really my biggest fight. 25:04.200 --> 25:09.200 I remember having these conversations with like the youth pastors of the day. 25:09.200 --> 25:16.200 And I didn't think I was being too loud and obnoxious, but it was until later that I found out I was because people called me about it. 25:16.200 --> 25:25.200 But I would get in these these arguments with these guys because I'm like, hey, how can you guys how can we say we're the true religion if we only came about in the 1800s? 25:25.200 --> 25:27.200 Like what happened to like all the evidence before that? 25:27.200 --> 25:28.200 Right. 25:28.200 --> 25:30.200 Like those were my kind of questions back in the day. 25:30.200 --> 25:36.200 Then they rely on a lot of extra biblical authority, which we do not as Baptist. 25:36.200 --> 25:38.200 Our authority comes from the word of God. 25:38.200 --> 25:40.200 That's why we're King James only. 25:40.200 --> 25:53.200 They rely on about something like fifty thousand, you know, something like over one hundred thousand words that were written by some just nutty female by the name of Ellen White. 25:53.200 --> 25:57.200 And if you don't know about Ellen White, don't worry about it. 25:57.200 --> 25:58.200 She's nuts, right? 25:58.200 --> 26:04.200 They also do a lot of workspace confusion because they actually preach the right gospel on the surface. 26:04.200 --> 26:06.200 If you go to their website, you read the salvation plan. 26:06.200 --> 26:09.200 It's kind of hard to see any works. 26:09.200 --> 26:14.200 It's not until you read the other beliefs that you realize, oh, this is workspace salvation. 26:14.200 --> 26:15.200 Right. 26:15.200 --> 26:22.200 Obviously, the big one for them, the one they'll fight you the most, the one that actually most of your novice or you're just layman. 26:22.200 --> 26:31.200 Seventh day of Venice will fight you on is the Sabbath, which, you know, just in case you ever run into one that wants to fight about the Sabbath, just take them to Leviticus 23. 26:31.200 --> 26:37.200 And also just remind them that even though the fourth commandment is important, you know, there's three before that. 26:37.200 --> 26:41.200 So if we're going to fight about the fourth one, let's clear up one, two and three. 26:41.200 --> 26:46.200 Right. Because I just always think it's weird that they focus on number four and they forgot the other three. 26:46.200 --> 26:51.200 And then they also believe in annihilation ism and socially. 26:51.200 --> 26:54.200 So they think that when you die, you just lay there. 26:54.200 --> 26:57.200 And then one day when Jesus comes, he's going to raise everybody up. 26:57.200 --> 26:58.200 He's gonna wake them up. 26:58.200 --> 27:00.200 He's like, hey, did you have a good rest? 27:00.200 --> 27:04.200 Some of you are going to just disappear because you don't deserve to go to heaven. 27:04.200 --> 27:08.200 And some of you are going to go to heaven and everybody's going to just have a gay old time. 27:08.200 --> 27:10.200 Right. 27:10.200 --> 27:15.200 And during that time, when you're so sleepy, what's going on is that Jesus is in heaven right now. 27:15.200 --> 27:21.200 According to them, this is not us is and he's doing what's called investigative judgment. 27:21.200 --> 27:30.200 If you don't know what investigative judgment is, it's a really fancy way of saying that Jesus is like a glorified paper pusher and administrator. 27:30.200 --> 27:32.200 He's going through all your files. 27:32.200 --> 27:36.200 Remember those old cartoons where someone would go through all the files in heaven and make sure you could get in heaven? 27:36.200 --> 27:38.200 And that's basically what Jesus is doing. 27:38.200 --> 27:44.200 He's going through and he's like, oh, you know, brother, so and so believed on Christ, but his actions don't match up. 27:44.200 --> 27:46.200 He really didn't live righteous. 27:46.200 --> 27:48.200 So out. Oh, brother, so and so. 27:48.200 --> 27:50.200 He did a good job. 27:50.200 --> 27:54.200 Like it's basically he's just that's literally what they believe that happened in 1844. 27:54.200 --> 28:01.200 And that in that failed prophecy is that the failed prophecy was that they believed Jesus was coming back and I'll get there in a second. 28:01.200 --> 28:04.200 But what they they fixed it, they tweaked it. 28:04.200 --> 28:07.200 They're like, oh, no, he moved into the holies of holies. 28:07.200 --> 28:09.200 And he started this investigative judgment. 28:09.200 --> 28:14.200 And when he's done going through all the billions of people, this is God we're talking about. 28:14.200 --> 28:20.200 Right. Like what a condescending jerk whoever came up with this to think that God's going to take that. 28:20.200 --> 28:24.200 God could go through anything, you know, just by snapping his finger. 28:24.200 --> 28:26.200 He wouldn't even have to snap his fingers. 28:26.200 --> 28:27.200 But anyways, that's a whole other thing. 28:27.200 --> 28:31.200 And once he's done, then, you know, he's coming back. 28:31.200 --> 28:34.200 They also they're big on dietary legalism. 28:34.200 --> 28:37.200 You know, they're huge on vegetarianism. 28:38.200 --> 28:40.200 You know, eating right healthy eating. 28:40.200 --> 28:44.200 There's like some social influencers that are known later on. 28:44.200 --> 28:47.200 If you look, there's this one lady that's really famous. 28:47.200 --> 28:52.200 She's an older lady on social media about, you know, eating healthy and living healthy life. 28:52.200 --> 28:55.200 If you do a deep search on her, she's the seventh day of Venice. 28:55.200 --> 28:58.200 I don't remember her name. 28:58.200 --> 29:01.200 And then, of course, they have a cult like dependence on Ellen G. 29:02.200 --> 29:06.200 And I'll explain that here in a second. 29:06.200 --> 29:15.200 And so the issue is that it's not whether they use Christian words or their doctor matches. 29:15.200 --> 29:18.200 The issue is they don't believe in Christ. 29:18.200 --> 29:20.200 They hate Jesus Christ. 29:20.200 --> 29:21.200 And how do you know that? 29:21.200 --> 29:23.200 Because they don't believe the words of the Bible. 29:23.200 --> 29:24.200 They don't believe the words of God. 29:24.200 --> 29:28.200 They think that there's other people that are leading them to this conclusion. 29:28.200 --> 29:34.200 You know, if you don't have to turn there, why don't you go ahead and turn over to Deuteronomy 18. 29:34.200 --> 29:36.200 But I'll read for you really quick in 2 Corinthians. 29:36.200 --> 29:39.200 Deuteronomy 18 and 2 Corinthians 11. 29:39.200 --> 29:40.200 Right there in verse 13, the Bible says, 29:58.200 --> 30:08.200 Hey, we shouldn't be shocked when we find these false religions 30:08.200 --> 30:12.200 because the Bible warns us that even Satan himself could turn into an angel of light. 30:12.200 --> 30:13.200 Right? 30:13.200 --> 30:17.200 And if you meet, there's a, there's a, the big thing with Seventh-day Adventist is 30:17.200 --> 30:24.200 most of you have probably run into some Seventh-day Adventist online videos or reading 30:24.200 --> 30:25.200 because you know what they don't do? 30:25.200 --> 30:27.200 They never promote the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 30:27.200 --> 30:34.200 If you click into their stuff, it usually takes you to some other website that has something to do with like just general ministries. 30:34.200 --> 30:37.200 It's like when you do a deep dive, you find out, oh, this guy's a Seventh-day Adventist. 30:37.200 --> 30:39.200 I know because I can recognize them a mile away. 30:39.200 --> 30:40.200 Right? 30:40.200 --> 30:42.200 So then I'm like, this guy, something doesn't smell right. 30:42.200 --> 30:44.200 And you know, you got to do your research. 30:44.200 --> 30:47.200 But point number one, and I only have like three points for you today. 30:47.200 --> 30:52.200 And it's based on the fact that it's so interesting to me in this day and age. 30:52.200 --> 30:57.200 And just know this is a good study because moving forward, it's just going to get worse. 30:57.200 --> 30:58.200 Right? 30:58.200 --> 31:00.200 It's going to get worse how easily people are deceived. 31:00.200 --> 31:08.200 When I tell you this, any sane human would be like, no way that this actually became a 20 million person religion. 31:08.200 --> 31:09.200 Right? 31:09.200 --> 31:10.200 But it did. 31:10.200 --> 31:15.200 So the first thing is I'm just going to give you the history of the Seventh-day Adventist. 31:15.200 --> 31:20.200 And the big thing is that they're built on a failed prophecy. 31:20.200 --> 31:25.200 So unlike other religions who just kind of, you know, maybe they were delivered golden tablets or whatever, 31:25.200 --> 31:34.200 this one was based on supposedly the Bible, especially end times prophecy in the book of Revelation and the book of Daniel. 31:34.200 --> 31:43.200 More so the book of Daniel and the 2300 days, which turned, you know, the guy a day is like a thousand years to the Lord. 31:43.200 --> 31:45.200 A thousand years is like a day to the Lord. 31:45.200 --> 31:50.200 So he took that and ran with it and calculated 2300 days. 31:50.200 --> 31:57.200 And he came with a conclusion that Jesus was coming back between 1843 and 1844. 31:57.200 --> 31:59.200 So let me just establish that real quick. 31:59.200 --> 32:01.200 Who is this guy? 32:01.200 --> 32:12.200 This guy is William Miller, who was an American clergyman who was credited with beginning the mid 19th century North American religious movement known as Millerism. 32:12.200 --> 32:13.200 Right? 32:13.200 --> 32:15.200 And they were called Millerites. 32:15.200 --> 32:20.200 And the biggest thing is after his proclamation of the second coming did not occur. 32:20.200 --> 32:22.200 This is what's known as the great disappointment. 32:22.200 --> 32:25.200 I'm going to give you just bullet points because I don't want to bore you with all the other stuff. 32:25.200 --> 32:28.200 It didn't occur as expected in the 1840s. 32:28.200 --> 32:34.200 The new heirs of his message emerged, including two major ones. 32:34.200 --> 32:38.200 There was others, but the major ones was the Advent Christians, although they're not that big. 32:38.200 --> 32:42.200 But then the Seventh-day Adventists who were formed in 1863. 32:42.200 --> 32:48.200 But during that time, you got to remember this is the mid 1800s in the Northeast. 32:48.200 --> 32:50.200 It is claimed that he had somewhere between 50,000. 32:50.200 --> 32:53.200 Of course, it was harder to track people back then. 32:53.200 --> 32:56.200 But between 50,000 to 500,000 followers. 32:56.200 --> 33:00.200 I would probably say that 50 to 100,000 were like the hardcore. 33:00.200 --> 33:04.200 And then everybody else was just kind of like, is this guy onto something or not? 33:04.200 --> 33:11.200 I mean, this, you know, the New York, the equivalent of whatever would be the New York Times wrote about this. 33:11.200 --> 33:16.200 I mean, people upended their entire lives on this prophecy. 33:16.200 --> 33:21.200 It happened two or three times where people were like, oh, Jesus is coming back today. 33:21.200 --> 33:27.200 And so they went and they sold all their belongings and they made like they got their affairs in order. 33:27.200 --> 33:30.200 And they either waited in home or the side of a hill. 33:30.200 --> 33:37.200 And they just sat there like idiots waiting for Jesus Christ to come and take him home based on the words of this guy. 33:37.200 --> 33:44.200 I mean, literally, you know, it was on the newspaper pamphlets were passed out like this was a big deal during that time. 33:44.200 --> 33:46.200 That's why it's called the great disappointment. 33:46.200 --> 33:51.200 It's a term that actually is used in journalism now to refer to anything major. 33:51.200 --> 33:58.200 And then they'll reference back to this time, this period in history in the United States called the great disappointment. 33:58.200 --> 34:02.200 And what's interesting here, I just took a couple of snippets from the history. 34:02.200 --> 34:13.200 It says about William Miller says shortly after his move to Pulteney, Miller rejected his Baptist heritage, which of course, because he grew up Baptist doesn't mean he's Baptist. 34:13.200 --> 34:16.200 Right. And became and this guy was all over the place. 34:16.200 --> 34:24.200 He became a deist. And just real quick, if you don't know what a deist is, is a lot of our founding fathers were proclaimed deists. 34:24.200 --> 34:26.200 They believed in God. 34:26.200 --> 34:32.200 They liked the morality, but they excluded all the supernatural prophecies, the miracles and all that. 34:32.200 --> 34:38.200 I mean, Thomas Jefferson is infamous for rejecting the Virgin birth and the miracles and turning wine into wine. 34:38.200 --> 34:40.200 That's what a deist is. Right. 34:40.200 --> 34:51.200 So just just to kind of give you a breakdown and in his biography, Miller records his conversations that I became acquainted with the principal men in that village in Pulteney, 34:51.200 --> 34:59.200 who were from the city of Vermont, who were professedly deists, but they were good citizens and have a moral and serious deportment. 34:59.200 --> 35:08.200 They put into my hands the works of Voltaire and David Hume and Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen and other deistical writers. 35:08.200 --> 35:12.200 And then later on, he tried to kind of weasel his way back into the Baptist. 35:12.200 --> 35:13.200 Didn't work. 35:13.200 --> 35:22.200 And that was a big, you know, fiasco because the other thing that happened with Miller is that he wasn't so sure about his prophetic days, 35:22.200 --> 35:30.200 but it got so much wind and people got so excited that they started to pressure him for a specific date. 35:30.200 --> 35:37.200 And then when he didn't give a specific date, some guy by the name of Snow actually gave the date and he wasn't really comfortable with it either. 35:37.200 --> 35:43.200 But because by then, you know, the mob had taken over and they were all so excited, he just went with it. 35:43.200 --> 35:45.200 So he didn't even himself agree with it. 35:45.200 --> 35:48.200 Later on, he's actually redacting where he's like, hey, I made an error. 35:48.200 --> 35:53.200 I do believe Jesus is coming back at our time, but I was just wrong about the date. 35:53.200 --> 35:57.200 So the guy wasn't even convicted about his own stuff, like what he was doing. 35:57.200 --> 35:58.200 Right. 35:58.200 --> 36:00.200 But here's a couple of things to stand out. 36:00.200 --> 36:05.200 He predicted that Jesus would return between 1843 and 1844. 36:05.200 --> 36:08.200 Now, this guy, Samuel Snow, was the one that ran with it. 36:08.200 --> 36:12.200 And he set the date October 22nd, 1844. 36:12.200 --> 36:16.200 Now, Miller, he didn't sign off on this, but the pressure got to him. 36:16.200 --> 36:17.200 Right. 36:17.200 --> 36:19.200 And like I said later, he apologized. 36:19.200 --> 36:21.200 But here's what's interesting. 36:21.200 --> 36:29.200 Thousands of people sold their homes, quit their jobs, set up their affairs and then just waited. 36:29.200 --> 36:32.200 And Jesus never, never came. 36:32.200 --> 36:33.200 Right. 36:33.200 --> 36:36.200 Of course, this is what's known as the disappointment. 36:36.200 --> 36:43.200 This was printed about at the time in 1844 in the New York Tribune, which if you think about it, 36:43.200 --> 36:46.200 in the 1800s, there's not a lot of major publications. 36:46.200 --> 36:50.200 It's not like you have Fox News and CNN and ABC and CBS. 36:50.200 --> 36:57.200 You just have a, and New York was already a hustling bustling center of dissemination of information. 36:57.200 --> 37:00.200 So if it got to the New York Tribune, this is a big deal. 37:00.200 --> 37:01.200 Right. 37:01.200 --> 37:05.200 And so what happened after October 22, 1844? 37:05.200 --> 37:11.200 Well, a couple of people just abandoned their faith altogether. 37:11.200 --> 37:14.200 So here's the danger of following something that's not biblical. 37:14.200 --> 37:17.200 A bunch of people just ended up in hell because they just gave up. 37:17.200 --> 37:19.200 They're just like, I, this is stupid. 37:19.200 --> 37:21.200 This is like in the tens of thousands. 37:21.200 --> 37:22.200 Right. 37:22.200 --> 37:26.200 And then other people just believed that he was coming later. 37:26.200 --> 37:27.200 They actually agreed with Miller. 37:27.200 --> 37:29.200 They were just like, well, maybe. 37:29.200 --> 37:33.200 And out of that, you get groups like the Advent Christians, 37:33.200 --> 37:38.200 the Jehovah's Witnesses are technically a spinoff of the Seventh-day Adventists. 37:38.200 --> 37:42.200 And they're really a spinoff of William Miller. 37:42.200 --> 37:45.200 That's a much deeper study for another day. 37:45.200 --> 37:52.200 Then you got like a smaller group in the hundreds who ended up joining the Shakers. 37:52.200 --> 37:54.200 If you don't know, don't worry about it right now. 37:54.200 --> 38:00.200 And then you have dozens of people who ended up now with 20 million who created 38:00.200 --> 38:03.200 what's called the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 38:03.200 --> 38:04.200 Right. 38:04.200 --> 38:06.200 And why is it Seventh-day Adventist? 38:06.200 --> 38:10.200 Because they went and studied the Bible and they figured out there was a lot of stuff 38:10.200 --> 38:15.200 that had been hidden from the rest of the world, which is really dumb. 38:15.200 --> 38:17.200 But of course, this is always the claim, right? 38:17.200 --> 38:20.200 They figured something out that nobody else could figure out in the Bible. 38:20.200 --> 38:22.200 Nobody else can read English like them. 38:22.200 --> 38:24.200 Nobody else can decipher words like them. 38:24.200 --> 38:29.200 And they're like the Sabbath and the second coming of Christ are the most important things. 38:29.200 --> 38:32.200 So that's why we're called the Seventh-day Adventists. 38:32.200 --> 38:34.200 We'll go to Deuteronomy 18 right there in verse 20. 38:34.200 --> 38:35.200 What does the Bible say? 38:35.200 --> 38:40.200 The Bible warns strongly, both in the Old and the New Testament, about this type of mentality. 38:40.200 --> 38:43.200 It says, but the prophet in verse 20 says, 38:43.200 --> 38:49.200 which shall presume to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, 38:49.200 --> 38:53.200 or they shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 38:53.200 --> 38:58.200 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken, 38:58.200 --> 39:03.200 when a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, 39:03.200 --> 39:09.200 that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, 39:09.200 --> 39:13.200 thou shall not be afraid of him. 39:13.200 --> 39:18.200 You know, when you follow someone, in a way that's a healthy fear, right? 39:18.200 --> 39:21.200 You accept that leadership, you're submitting to that. 39:21.200 --> 39:24.200 The Bible says, hey, you need to blow this person off. 39:24.200 --> 39:30.200 That's why when someone says, oh, the pope said something, you know, on the news the pope said whatever. 39:30.200 --> 39:33.200 You know, every few months the pope decides to change something. 39:33.200 --> 39:35.200 I'm like, well, whatever, I don't care. 39:35.200 --> 39:39.200 Because the pope's nothing to me because none of the stuff he says is biblical. 39:39.200 --> 39:46.200 Deuteronomy 13, go back to Deuteronomy 13, just a couple of chapters back, right there in verse 1, 39:46.200 --> 39:51.200 the Bible says, if there arise among you a prophet in verse 1, 39:51.200 --> 39:55.200 or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 39:55.200 --> 39:59.200 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, 39:59.200 --> 40:04.200 saying, let us go after other gods which thou hast not known, and let us serve them, 40:04.200 --> 40:09.200 thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or of the dreamer of dreams, 40:09.200 --> 40:14.200 for the Lord your God proveth you to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart, 40:14.200 --> 40:18.200 and with all your soul, ye shall walk after the Lord your God, 40:18.200 --> 40:22.200 and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, 40:22.200 --> 40:25.200 and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him, 40:25.200 --> 40:30.200 and that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, 40:30.200 --> 40:33.200 because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, 40:33.200 --> 40:37.200 which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, 40:37.200 --> 40:43.200 to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commandeth thee to walk in, 40:43.200 --> 40:47.200 so shalt thou put that evil away from the midst of this. 40:47.200 --> 40:52.200 Hey, this is a serious thing. God says, hey, you need to put that evil away from you. 40:52.200 --> 40:55.200 One of the accusations we get, I know I brought this up, 40:55.200 --> 40:58.200 but we need to be more firm on calling this stuff out, 40:58.200 --> 41:01.200 even if we get accused for calling people out. 41:01.200 --> 41:04.200 We are not respecter of persons. This is a serious thing. 41:04.200 --> 41:07.200 People are going to hell in the seventh event. 41:07.200 --> 41:10.200 I have literally, I can name names. 41:10.200 --> 41:15.200 You won't know these people, but Evelyn, and Danny, and Hassad, 41:15.200 --> 41:18.200 and all these people that I grew up with are going to hell 41:18.200 --> 41:21.200 because they are convinced their second, third generation advances, 41:21.200 --> 41:25.200 the Picheros, and the Megos, all these guys are going to hell. 41:25.200 --> 41:29.200 I don't even think they are watching. I'm just saying, I can just rattle, I grew up, 41:29.200 --> 41:32.200 this is a culture, these are people's lives at stake, 41:32.200 --> 41:35.200 and a lot of them are passing away, and they are dying, 41:35.200 --> 41:38.200 and the minute they pass away, you know where they are at? They are in hell. 41:38.200 --> 41:41.200 Because they thought that they were just going to soul sleep, 41:41.200 --> 41:46.200 and they are coming to the harsh reality that there is no more, there is no exit. 41:46.200 --> 41:50.200 Go to Acts 1, in Matthew 24, I will read for you, 41:50.200 --> 41:53.200 in Matthew 24, but in Acts 1, the Bible says, I mean in Acts 1, 41:53.200 --> 41:56.200 I will read for you really quick in Matthew 24, in verse 35, 41:56.200 --> 42:01.200 the Bible says, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away, 42:01.200 --> 42:07.200 but of that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 42:07.200 --> 42:11.200 And if you go to the Seventh-day Adventist website, and you read their history, 42:11.200 --> 42:14.200 they are like, oh, you know, William Miller was wrong. 42:14.200 --> 42:17.200 So they admit it, they don't even hide it, and then they will quote this verse, 42:17.200 --> 42:20.200 and they are like, oh, well, it's because he didn't, I guess he forgot this verse, 42:20.200 --> 42:24.200 you know, he didn't read this verse, so, but we know better. 42:24.200 --> 42:30.200 If you go to Acts 1, verse 6, Jesus is with all the witnesses, 42:30.200 --> 42:35.200 he is about to ascend to heaven, and it says there, in verse number 6, it says, 42:35.200 --> 42:39.200 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, 42:39.200 --> 42:41.200 will thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? 42:41.200 --> 42:46.200 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, 42:46.200 --> 42:48.200 which the Father hath put in his own power. 42:48.200 --> 42:52.200 But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you, 42:52.200 --> 42:58.200 and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria, 42:58.200 --> 43:00.200 and unto the uttermost parts of the earth. 43:00.200 --> 43:04.200 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, 43:04.200 --> 43:06.200 and the cloud received him out of their sight. 43:06.200 --> 43:09.200 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven, as he went up, 43:09.200 --> 43:14.200 behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, which also said, ye men of Galilee, 43:14.200 --> 43:17.200 why stand ye gazing up into heaven? 43:17.200 --> 43:21.200 This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, 43:21.200 --> 43:25.200 shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 43:25.200 --> 43:30.200 Man, these verses are powerful for just a bunch of false religions, right? 43:30.200 --> 43:32.200 Because, you know, we don't believe in the pre-trip rapture, 43:32.200 --> 43:35.200 because it says, hey, everybody's going to see him, right? 43:35.200 --> 43:37.200 We don't believe what these guys are saying, 43:37.200 --> 43:41.200 because Jesus was clear that nobody's going to know when he's coming. 43:41.200 --> 43:44.200 What did he say? He said, you will receive the Holy Ghost, 43:44.200 --> 43:47.200 and you need to go out and preach the Word of God. 43:47.200 --> 43:51.200 See, the problem is people read this, and what they want to do is what they want to do. 43:51.200 --> 43:52.200 That's the problem, right? 43:52.200 --> 43:56.200 Instead of saying, oh, you know what, you're right, God, this looks really interesting. 43:56.200 --> 43:59.200 I love the book of Daniel, and I love the book of Revelation, 43:59.200 --> 44:01.200 but you know what, it's not the most important thing. 44:01.200 --> 44:04.200 The most important thing is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 44:04.200 --> 44:06.200 And you know what Seventh-day Adventists don't do? 44:06.200 --> 44:10.200 They don't preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, right? 44:10.200 --> 44:16.200 So just a really quick recap here of the movement. 44:16.200 --> 44:20.200 What they ended up doing is they then rebranded, right? 44:20.200 --> 44:22.200 And isn't that the common thing? 44:22.200 --> 44:24.200 Jehovah's Witnesses are known for this stuff. 44:24.200 --> 44:27.200 The Mormons have the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 44:27.200 --> 44:31.200 which is just like the little baby church before you get to the temple, 44:31.200 --> 44:34.200 before you get to the secret handshakes, you know, 44:34.200 --> 44:38.200 before you can do the gang signs, you got to start at the baby church. 44:38.200 --> 44:42.200 The Seventh-day Adventists don't have that, but they also have some weird stuff. 44:42.200 --> 44:47.200 And so what ended up happening is they changed that prophecy, the end times prophecy, 44:47.200 --> 44:54.200 and they invented, really the prophecy became the shut door or the investigative judgment. 44:54.200 --> 44:59.200 And they claimed that Jesus entered into the heavenly phase in 1844. 44:59.200 --> 45:03.200 And so what they'll do is they'll just go to these doctors, 45:03.200 --> 45:07.200 but go over to Colossians 2, go over to Colossians 2 really quick. 45:07.200 --> 45:09.200 And I'll read for you in Proverbs 30 verse 5. 45:09.200 --> 45:10.200 The Bible says, 45:10.200 --> 45:13.200 Every word of God is pure. 45:13.200 --> 45:15.200 He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 45:15.200 --> 45:20.200 And thou not, add thou not unto his words, 45:20.200 --> 45:24.200 lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 45:24.200 --> 45:26.200 And by the way, you know, I have no problem. 45:26.200 --> 45:27.200 We have to read, right? 45:27.200 --> 45:28.200 We have to be educated. 45:28.200 --> 45:30.200 We have to educate ourselves. 45:30.200 --> 45:36.200 There's a difference between reading and learning stuff and treating it as doctrine, right? 45:36.200 --> 45:41.200 I mean, isn't that the argument of like the Orthodox or Catholic Church 45:41.200 --> 45:43.200 is that you have to read the Church Fathers, right? 45:43.200 --> 45:45.200 And the Church Fathers knew stuff. 45:45.200 --> 45:47.200 Well, the Bible knows everything. 45:47.200 --> 45:49.200 So that's really what I'm concerned about. 45:49.200 --> 45:52.200 Go to Colossians right there in Colossians 2 and verse 5. 45:52.200 --> 45:53.200 The Bible says, 45:53.200 --> 45:59.200 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the Spirit, 45:59.200 --> 46:04.200 joining and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ, 46:04.200 --> 46:07.200 as ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, 46:07.200 --> 46:11.200 so walk ye in him, rooted and built up in him, 46:11.200 --> 46:14.200 established in the phase as ye have been taught, 46:14.200 --> 46:17.200 abounding therein with thanksgiving. 46:17.200 --> 46:23.200 Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit 46:23.200 --> 46:27.200 after the tradition of man, after the rudiments of the world, 46:27.200 --> 46:29.200 and not after Christ. 46:29.200 --> 46:34.200 For in him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 46:34.200 --> 46:35.200 You don't have to turn there. 46:35.200 --> 46:37.200 I'll read for you real quick in Titus 1. 46:37.200 --> 46:38.200 In verse 13, the Bible says, 46:38.200 --> 46:43.200 This witness is true, wherefore rebuke them sharply, right? 46:43.200 --> 46:45.200 For they may be sound in the faith, 46:45.200 --> 46:49.200 not given heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, 46:49.200 --> 46:52.200 that turn from the truth unto the pure. 46:52.200 --> 46:56.200 All things are pure, but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure. 46:56.200 --> 46:59.200 But even their minds and conscience is defiled. 46:59.200 --> 47:01.200 They profess that they know God, 47:01.200 --> 47:04.200 but in their works they deny him being abominable and disobedient, 47:04.200 --> 47:07.200 and unto every good work reprobate. 47:07.200 --> 47:12.200 And you say, why is it, you know, this really stands out to me even more now, right? 47:12.200 --> 47:13.200 Not given heed to Jewish fables. 47:13.200 --> 47:16.200 We're about to go to the anti-Israel conference, right? 47:16.200 --> 47:18.200 Which is the false religion of Judaism. 47:18.200 --> 47:22.200 But you know what's also interesting is all these little spin-offs, 47:22.200 --> 47:24.200 like the Seventh-day Adventists, they have what? 47:24.200 --> 47:26.200 Jewish fables, right? 47:26.200 --> 47:28.200 They're like, you need to keep the Sabbath. 47:28.200 --> 47:30.200 I thought Jesus was our Sabbath. 47:30.200 --> 47:32.200 I thought he was our rest. 47:32.200 --> 47:35.200 Oh, you need to eat only the foods in the Levitical law. 47:35.200 --> 47:39.200 I thought we shouldn't be judged by what we eat or by what we consume. 47:39.200 --> 47:43.200 The Lord said, hey, whatever I bless, it's blessed, right? 47:43.200 --> 47:45.200 Let no man call it unclean. 47:45.200 --> 47:47.200 So which one is it? 47:47.200 --> 47:50.200 It's really confusing to me. 47:50.200 --> 47:53.200 Point number two, like I said, I only have three points, 47:53.200 --> 47:57.200 and it's really just a, I could have done like a series on this one, 47:57.200 --> 47:59.200 because you know, I just know so much, 47:59.200 --> 48:01.200 but I was like, how do I keep this simple? 48:01.200 --> 48:03.200 It was way too much, right? 48:03.200 --> 48:05.200 Let's talk about L.A.G. White, 48:05.200 --> 48:09.200 because that's really what the Seventh-day Adventists are known for. 48:09.200 --> 48:11.200 They'll deny this in certain circles, 48:11.200 --> 48:13.200 but if you just press them enough, 48:13.200 --> 48:17.200 and you, you know, L.A.G. White is the equivalent of the Pope 48:17.200 --> 48:19.200 for the Seventh-day Adventists, right? 48:19.200 --> 48:22.200 Nobody really claims the Pope, but if you talk bad about the Pope, 48:22.200 --> 48:25.200 you know, it's kind of like I was watching this comedian talk about, 48:25.200 --> 48:27.200 you know, siblings, right? 48:27.200 --> 48:29.200 You can be mean to your sibling, 48:29.200 --> 48:32.200 and you can call them an idiot, and you can call them stupid, 48:32.200 --> 48:34.200 and they can do the same thing to you, 48:34.200 --> 48:36.200 but the minute somebody else calls your brother an idiot, 48:36.200 --> 48:38.200 you know, you got to defend them. 48:38.200 --> 48:40.200 That's kind of L.A.G. White. 48:40.200 --> 48:42.200 She's like the redheaded stepchild. 48:42.200 --> 48:44.200 Nobody really claims her, but the minute you attack her, 48:44.200 --> 48:46.200 everybody's there to defend her. 48:46.200 --> 48:48.200 It's kind of weird, right? 48:48.200 --> 48:50.200 And so she, the way that this happened is, 48:50.200 --> 48:54.200 so she becomes like the pivotal point of the Seventh-day Adventists. 48:54.200 --> 48:59.200 She is the prophetess that gave them the authority to build the church. 48:59.200 --> 49:01.200 She's their Pope. 49:01.200 --> 49:03.200 She's their Joseph Smith. 49:03.200 --> 49:07.200 That's who it is, which is weird because I thought I preached last week 49:07.200 --> 49:10.200 about women preachers and how they just don't exist, 49:10.200 --> 49:13.200 and how the Bible says that a woman should not usurp the authority, 49:13.200 --> 49:16.200 the usurp, sorry, the authority of the man, 49:16.200 --> 49:19.200 but the Seventh-day Adventist religion is so effeminate, 49:19.200 --> 49:22.200 it's literally built on a woman, 49:22.200 --> 49:25.200 which is even like just on that alone, it's gay, right? 49:25.200 --> 49:27.200 Like it's just, come on. 49:27.200 --> 49:30.200 And really it was always uncomfortable to be growing up 49:30.200 --> 49:33.200 that we had to listen to the teachings of a woman, 49:33.200 --> 49:37.200 because my dad, he's always been old school, man's man. 49:37.200 --> 49:40.200 If you ask my mom, she's a macho, 49:40.200 --> 49:43.200 and she said, you're just like your dad, you're such a macho, 49:43.200 --> 49:45.200 which that's a whole other servant, 49:45.200 --> 49:47.200 but my dad's a man's man, right? 49:47.200 --> 49:49.200 And it was always difficult for me to do that. 49:49.200 --> 49:51.200 But one of the things that happened, 49:51.200 --> 49:55.200 so following the Great Disappointment in October 22 of 1844, 49:55.200 --> 49:59.200 they anticipated the Second Coming of Christ and it failed. 49:59.200 --> 50:04.200 So Hiram Etzen, a Millerite lay preacher from Port Gibson, New York, 50:04.200 --> 50:10.200 experienced profound anguish alongside fellow believers gathered at his farm. 50:10.200 --> 50:16.200 And so the next morning, he goes out to resolve this disappointment, right? 50:16.200 --> 50:22.200 And he's walking his property with this guy by the name of Franklin B. Hahn, 50:22.200 --> 50:26.200 a physician and a fellow seeker, and as they, this is funny, 50:26.200 --> 50:29.200 as they traversed a cornfield en route to neighboring believers, 50:29.200 --> 50:34.200 Etzen later recounted feeling a divine impression, 50:34.200 --> 50:37.200 as if the hand of the Lord was upon him, 50:37.200 --> 50:42.200 leading him to an abrupt halt, amid a sense of overwhelming glory. 50:42.200 --> 50:46.200 I guess he just got possessed by the devil, is what it sounds like, right? 50:46.200 --> 50:50.200 And so in this experience, Etzen described a visionary revelation 50:50.200 --> 50:52.200 rather than an ecstatic trance, 50:52.200 --> 50:57.200 and he perceived Christ not descending to earth as previously expected, 50:57.200 --> 51:02.200 but instead entering the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary 51:02.200 --> 51:06.200 to commence a phase of priestly ministry. 51:06.200 --> 51:08.200 So he's like, so weird, right? 51:08.200 --> 51:12.200 He's just walking and he's like, that's what happened. 51:12.200 --> 51:16.200 And he's like, now he's like, now it's all good, right? 51:16.200 --> 51:19.200 And so what ends up happening is when he tells others about this, 51:19.200 --> 51:25.200 they recruit this guy by the name of ORL Crozier, 51:25.200 --> 51:29.200 a schoolteacher versed in Hebrew, and they articulate the concept, 51:29.200 --> 51:33.200 they're like, hey, this happened, can you help us? 51:33.200 --> 51:37.200 And what it says is that they're like, oh yeah, 51:37.200 --> 51:42.200 they're linking it to the 2300-day prophecy in that book of Daniel, 51:42.200 --> 51:46.200 and they're like, oh yeah, it doesn't in 1844, and you're right, 51:46.200 --> 51:51.200 it's that he was entering into the holies of holies and he wasn't coming back. 51:51.200 --> 51:56.200 And the reason I say this is this is called the cornfield epiphany. 51:56.200 --> 52:00.200 Hey, they don't deny this, the Seventh-day Adventist, 52:00.200 --> 52:03.200 and this is what influenced Ellen G. White. 52:03.200 --> 52:08.200 She took that as a 17-year-old girl and ran with it, 52:08.200 --> 52:10.200 which by the way, there's so much I could say about Ellen G. White, 52:10.200 --> 52:13.200 but as a young girl, like before she was 17, she was in school, 52:13.200 --> 52:18.200 she got hit by a rock, she was actually severely damaged in the head, 52:18.200 --> 52:23.200 she actually went into a coma, and this ought to probably explain 52:23.200 --> 52:26.200 what I'm about to say here about Ellen G. White. 52:26.200 --> 52:30.200 So it influenced Ellen G. White's subsequent visions, 52:30.200 --> 52:33.200 and it's believed that she had over 2000 visions, 52:33.200 --> 52:38.200 confirming the sanctuary theme and shaped Seventh-day Adventist eschatology, 52:38.200 --> 52:41.200 including emphasis on character preparation, 52:41.200 --> 52:44.200 amid probations, closure. 52:44.200 --> 52:48.200 So White's prolific output, she wrote over 50 books, 52:48.200 --> 52:54.200 over 5000 periodical articles, compiled into 100-volume corpus 52:54.200 --> 52:58.200 that remains authoritative for the Seventh-day Adventists. 52:58.200 --> 53:02.200 And I've literally been in Seventh-day Adventist pastors' offices, 53:02.200 --> 53:06.200 and they have like one Bible and then all of her writings. 53:06.200 --> 53:08.200 And they're like there's just book after book. 53:08.200 --> 53:10.200 And you know they haven't read it because if they would read it, 53:10.200 --> 53:12.200 they'd run the other way quickly. 53:12.200 --> 53:14.200 Because I've actually read some of the stuff in those books, 53:14.200 --> 53:16.200 and it's just like insane. 53:16.200 --> 53:19.200 I'm going to give you just two examples, because it's a hundred, 53:19.200 --> 53:21.200 you know, this is way too much, right? 53:21.200 --> 53:24.200 There's a website called whiteestate.org, 53:24.200 --> 53:27.200 which is literally dedicated to all her writings. 53:27.200 --> 53:29.200 And in there they explain everything, 53:29.200 --> 53:32.200 and there's literally an article on the website. 53:32.200 --> 53:35.200 This is from their website, so just I want to be clear. 53:35.200 --> 53:36.200 It says, 53:36.200 --> 53:42.200 comments regarding unusual statements found in Ellen G. White's writings. 53:42.200 --> 53:45.200 So what ended up happening is people are like reading this stuff, 53:45.200 --> 53:48.200 they're like, yo, this doesn't line up, this is kind of weird. 53:48.200 --> 53:50.200 So they're like, well, let us explain it. 53:50.200 --> 53:53.200 It's kind of like the people that are like, hey, there's errors in the Bible, 53:53.200 --> 53:56.200 and so we as Baptists will look into it and we'll explain it, 53:56.200 --> 53:58.200 but the Bible explains itself, right? 53:58.200 --> 54:00.200 We don't have to make up stuff, like I can explain to you 54:00.200 --> 54:03.200 why something might seem contradictory. 54:03.200 --> 54:05.200 And if you go to a good Baptist church where they're preaching the Bible, 54:05.200 --> 54:08.200 it's going to make sense, but this lady was just nuts. 54:08.200 --> 54:09.200 Right? 54:09.200 --> 54:12.200 And here she writes in one of them, she said, this is quote, 54:12.200 --> 54:20.200 but if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, 54:20.200 --> 54:24.200 it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast, 54:24.200 --> 54:27.200 which defaced the image of God and caused confusion everywhere. 54:27.200 --> 54:31.200 God purposed to destroy by a flood that powerful long-lived race 54:31.200 --> 54:34.200 that had corrupted their ways before him. 54:34.200 --> 54:39.200 And this is written in the Spiritual Gifts, volume three, page 64. 54:39.200 --> 54:44.200 She says, every species of animal which God had created were preserved in the ark. 54:44.200 --> 54:48.200 The confused species which God did not create, 54:48.200 --> 54:51.200 which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood. 54:51.200 --> 54:55.200 Since the flood, there had been amalgamation of man and beast 54:55.200 --> 55:00.200 as may have been seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals 55:00.200 --> 55:02.200 and in certain races of men. 55:02.200 --> 55:05.200 Now if you don't know what she's talking about, it's because she doesn't know how to write. 55:05.200 --> 55:08.200 And the word amalgamation is talking about mixing metals. 55:08.200 --> 55:12.200 It says she didn't know what the real definition was of amalgamation 55:12.200 --> 55:14.200 because this is what they explained. 55:14.200 --> 55:20.200 You know, she was ignorant, she just used it to explain the mixing of humans with animals. 55:20.200 --> 55:25.200 She's saying that there was other animals that just came out because of this weird thing. 55:25.200 --> 55:27.200 What? 55:27.200 --> 55:28.200 It's weird. 55:28.200 --> 55:30.200 You know what the Bible says about bestiality? 55:30.200 --> 55:32.200 That you put them to death. 55:32.200 --> 55:36.200 Everything springs forth after its own seed. 55:36.200 --> 55:38.200 That's why we have people, how do you lead someone to Christ? 55:38.200 --> 55:42.200 Somebody has to be saved from faith to faith. 55:42.200 --> 55:44.200 That's the only way to do so. 55:44.200 --> 55:45.200 And then here's another one. 55:45.200 --> 55:47.200 Like I said, I'm just going to make these quick. 55:47.200 --> 55:49.200 This is from another writer. 55:49.200 --> 55:54.200 It says, less than three months after she and James were married in 1846, 55:54.200 --> 55:59.200 she had a vision at the Curtis home in Top Shamain in the presence of Joseph Bates. 55:59.200 --> 56:04.200 Although Bates had seen Ellen White in visions on several occasions, 56:04.200 --> 56:06.200 he still had doubts about her prophetic gift. 56:06.200 --> 56:11.200 But through the Top Sham vision, he was convinced that the work is of God. 56:11.200 --> 56:20.200 James White reported that in the vision, Mrs. White was guided to the planet Jupiter, Saturn, and I think one more. 56:20.200 --> 56:24.200 After she came out of the vision, she could give a clear description of the moons. 56:24.200 --> 56:27.200 It is well known that she knew nothing of astronomy 56:27.200 --> 56:32.200 and could not answer one question in relation to the planets before she had the vision. 56:32.200 --> 56:37.200 So of course, if she now can explain astronomy not knowing astronomy, then it must be of God, right? 56:37.200 --> 56:43.200 Or she could just be a charlatan, which is actually very common in that time where people knew stuff. 56:43.200 --> 56:46.200 You know, as a matter of fact, to this day, that's a very common thing, right? 56:46.200 --> 56:51.200 Now with technology, they do that where, you know, if I asked somebody to come up here in a wheelchair, 56:51.200 --> 56:54.200 you know, they tell me that they just got hurt. 56:54.200 --> 56:56.200 They twisted their ankle, but they're much better. 56:56.200 --> 56:59.200 And then I'm like, did you get hurt? You know, did you trip? 56:59.200 --> 57:01.200 And then, of course, I'd be like, get up and walk. 57:01.200 --> 57:04.200 And then everybody danced, right? It's all just a show. 57:04.200 --> 57:06.200 It's charlatan. That's what she was doing. 57:06.200 --> 57:10.200 And this guy then was like convinced about it. 57:10.200 --> 57:14.200 In it, she writes in this book, she writes, I was wrapped in a vision of God's glory. 57:14.200 --> 57:18.200 And for the first time had a view of the planets. 57:18.200 --> 57:28.200 And she also has weird, you know, beliefs about aliens and about who Jesus really is and just other weird stuff. 57:28.200 --> 57:30.200 Now, let me just give you the highlights. 57:30.200 --> 57:32.200 Like I said, this is important. 57:32.200 --> 57:37.200 And like I just waited so long. I mean, I hate the Seventh-day Adventist religion. 57:37.200 --> 57:41.200 If you don't get that by the end of this preaching, I don't know. I did a horrible job. 57:41.200 --> 57:43.200 I wish that God would destroy all those false prophets. 57:43.200 --> 57:45.200 I wish they would all die today. 57:45.200 --> 57:51.200 Like honestly, they should just be put to death and they should just stop living because a lot of people think they're living a good life. 57:51.200 --> 57:54.200 Seventh-day Adventists, you know, are moral for the most part. 57:54.200 --> 57:56.200 But morality doesn't get you to heaven. 57:56.200 --> 57:59.200 You know, they try to live right. They try to not defraud people. 57:59.200 --> 58:01.200 They try to do right by others. 58:01.200 --> 58:04.200 They try to be healthy, but they don't have Christ. 58:04.200 --> 58:07.200 And they're all going to hell, right? 58:07.200 --> 58:09.200 Right here, this is from their website. It says, 58:09.200 --> 58:14.200 Over the 15 years after the Millerite movement, they basically had Bible conferences. 58:14.200 --> 58:15.200 They established the church. 58:15.200 --> 58:17.200 And these are the main tenets that they were focused on. 58:17.200 --> 58:19.200 Christ's second coming is eminent. 58:19.200 --> 58:21.200 It will be seen by the world. 58:21.200 --> 58:23.200 It will be literal, not metaphorical. 58:23.200 --> 58:25.200 The Seventh-day Adventist Saturday has got Sabbath, 58:25.200 --> 58:28.200 the fourth commandment, instruction to celebrate and keep it. 58:28.200 --> 58:32.200 It remains literal to this day along with the rest of the Ten of Commandments. 58:32.200 --> 58:34.200 Thanks for clearing stuff up for us. 58:34.200 --> 58:36.200 We all know it's literal. 58:36.200 --> 58:39.200 But we also know that Hebrews tells us what's the literal Sabbath. 58:39.200 --> 58:41.200 Jesus Christ! 58:41.200 --> 58:44.200 Right? I don't have to take a day off. 58:44.200 --> 58:47.200 I already have spiritual rest. 58:47.200 --> 58:49.200 Now, you should take some time off. 58:49.200 --> 58:51.200 That's a whole other thing. 58:51.200 --> 58:55.200 It says here, God does not eternally torment sinners, 58:55.200 --> 58:59.200 but rather the dead sleep until the second coming and last judgment. 58:59.200 --> 59:01.200 I guess they forgot to read all the parts, 59:01.200 --> 59:03.200 where there will be gnashing and wailing of teeth, 59:03.200 --> 59:05.200 where the rich man is looking up, 59:05.200 --> 59:07.200 and he's like, hey, just dip your finger in water. 59:07.200 --> 59:10.200 By the way, the Seventh-day Adventists teach that as a parable, 59:10.200 --> 59:12.200 not as a reality. 59:12.200 --> 59:14.200 Right? 59:14.200 --> 59:18.200 God now ministers in his heavenly sanctuary, 59:18.200 --> 59:21.200 Christ, sorry, now ministers in his heavenly sanctuary, 59:21.200 --> 59:26.200 thereby mediating to us the benefits of his death on the cross, 59:26.200 --> 59:29.200 saving us by his righteousness and not our own deeds. 59:29.200 --> 59:31.200 In the last days of this earth, 59:31.200 --> 59:33.200 Christians will be tempted by the apostasy, 59:33.200 --> 59:35.200 but be called back to divine truth. 59:35.200 --> 59:37.200 And what they mean by this, 59:37.200 --> 59:39.200 because they didn't explain it there, 59:39.200 --> 59:41.200 but I know what they mean, 59:41.200 --> 59:43.200 is that they think that what's going to happen is 59:43.200 --> 59:45.200 we're going to implement a Sunday law, 59:45.200 --> 59:47.200 and only those people that go to church on Saturday 59:47.200 --> 59:49.200 are the true believers in Christ. 59:49.200 --> 59:52.200 And what they'll do is they'll reference the blue, 59:52.200 --> 59:54.200 what are they called, the blue laws? 59:54.200 --> 59:56.200 What are they called? 59:56.200 --> 59:58.200 The blue laws, you know, in the 70s, 59:58.200 --> 01:00:00.200 where everything had to close down Sunday. 01:00:00.200 --> 01:00:02.200 They're like, those guys were evil, 01:00:02.200 --> 01:00:04.200 and that evil is coming back again, 01:00:04.200 --> 01:00:07.200 just so you know what they're dealing with here. 01:00:07.200 --> 01:00:09.200 And then it says, 01:00:09.200 --> 01:00:11.200 this remnant will be marked by the recurrence of prophetic ministry, 01:00:11.200 --> 01:00:14.200 and many people will display prophetic gift 01:00:14.200 --> 01:00:16.200 and proclaim the good news. 01:00:16.200 --> 01:00:18.200 Right, so the Seventh Adventist Church, 01:00:18.200 --> 01:00:21.200 they elevate her writings, 01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:23.200 even sometimes above the Bible. 01:00:23.200 --> 01:00:26.200 And she's an authority from God. 01:00:26.200 --> 01:00:28.200 They really believe that she's a prophetess, 01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:30.200 that she had all these visions, 01:00:30.200 --> 01:00:32.200 and that to this day her prophecies are coming true, 01:00:32.200 --> 01:00:35.200 especially the one about Sunday worship. 01:00:35.200 --> 01:00:39.200 For the sake of time, just go to Revelation 22. 01:00:39.200 --> 01:00:42.200 Go to Revelation 22. 01:00:42.200 --> 01:00:44.200 And in Isaiah 8, verse 20, 01:00:44.200 --> 01:00:46.200 the Bible says, 01:00:46.200 --> 01:00:49.200 If they speak not according to this word, 01:00:49.200 --> 01:00:54.200 it is because there is no light in them. 01:00:54.200 --> 01:00:59.200 But remember, Satan can manifest himself as an angel of light, 01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:01.200 but we need to recognize the light. 01:01:01.200 --> 01:01:04.200 It's kind of like these lights that are shining in my face right now. 01:01:04.200 --> 01:01:06.200 This is artificial light, right? 01:01:06.200 --> 01:01:08.200 The best light to get is what? 01:01:08.200 --> 01:01:09.200 The light that's outside. 01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:10.200 And what does the world tell you? 01:01:10.200 --> 01:01:12.200 Hey, don't spend too much time in the sun, 01:01:12.200 --> 01:01:14.200 because you might get cancer. 01:01:14.200 --> 01:01:17.200 Well, I think I might get cancer just because of all the chemicals 01:01:17.200 --> 01:01:18.200 that are out of the world, 01:01:18.200 --> 01:01:20.200 not necessarily because of the sun, right? 01:01:20.200 --> 01:01:22.200 I mean, I know people, because I grew up, 01:01:22.200 --> 01:01:25.200 you know, my mom was from Tampico, which is on the Gulf Coast. 01:01:25.200 --> 01:01:27.200 Who's ever seen those leather-skinned people 01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:29.200 that just grew up on the beach? 01:01:29.200 --> 01:01:30.200 You ever met those people? 01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:33.200 I mean, it looks like, and they're like really old, 01:01:33.200 --> 01:01:34.200 and they're still living healthy lives, 01:01:34.200 --> 01:01:36.200 and they're like diving in for stuff, 01:01:36.200 --> 01:01:38.200 because the sun is, God created the sun. 01:01:38.200 --> 01:01:40.200 It's not there to destroy you. 01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:42.200 I think, personally, I'm not a doctor, 01:01:42.200 --> 01:01:44.200 so this is just my personal opinion. 01:01:44.200 --> 01:01:46.200 We put so much crap on our bodies, 01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:48.200 and then we bake it in with the sun 01:01:48.200 --> 01:01:49.200 and cause a chemical reaction. 01:01:49.200 --> 01:01:51.200 Of course we're going to get sick, right? 01:01:51.200 --> 01:01:52.200 Like, it's just, you know, whatever. 01:01:52.200 --> 01:01:54.200 But you're there in Revelation 22, where it says, 01:01:54.200 --> 01:01:55.200 in verse 18, 01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:17.200 What's the purpose of preaching against these religions? 01:02:17.200 --> 01:02:19.200 Well, number one, God said to do it. 01:02:19.200 --> 01:02:20.200 He said to mark them. 01:02:20.200 --> 01:02:23.200 So the purpose is that I'm just doing what God told me to do. 01:02:23.200 --> 01:02:26.200 But number two is that there's a deception out there, 01:02:26.200 --> 01:02:27.200 and we need to fight it, 01:02:27.200 --> 01:02:29.200 because people are being recruited 01:02:29.200 --> 01:02:31.200 to all these false religions all the time. 01:02:31.200 --> 01:02:33.200 You know, anytime there's a resurgence 01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:36.200 in like a spiritual movement, 01:02:36.200 --> 01:02:40.200 you know, we are in the recruiting business, right, in a way, 01:02:40.200 --> 01:02:42.200 if you wanted to dumb it down, 01:02:42.200 --> 01:02:44.200 but we're in the eternal recruitment business. 01:02:44.200 --> 01:02:46.200 We're going to preach faith by alone, 01:02:46.200 --> 01:02:48.200 you know, the word of God alone. 01:02:48.200 --> 01:02:49.200 But anytime that we start having success, 01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:51.200 you know what the devil's going to do? 01:02:51.200 --> 01:02:53.200 He's going to bring in other stuff 01:02:53.200 --> 01:02:55.200 so he can recruit them away from you, right? 01:02:55.200 --> 01:02:56.200 That's the goal. 01:02:56.200 --> 01:03:00.200 And all these religions have their ebbs and flows, 01:03:00.200 --> 01:03:02.200 but it just depends on, and right now, 01:03:02.200 --> 01:03:05.200 there's this like movement to find like the conservative churches, 01:03:05.200 --> 01:03:07.200 you know, the Catholics are on the rise, 01:03:07.200 --> 01:03:09.200 and all these weird religions are on the rise, 01:03:09.200 --> 01:03:11.200 because people are looking for the truth. 01:03:11.200 --> 01:03:13.200 They're tired of the fun centers. 01:03:13.200 --> 01:03:16.200 You know, Seventh-day Adventists are known for being more conservative. 01:03:16.200 --> 01:03:19.200 You know, who's ever heard of Ben Carson? 01:03:19.200 --> 01:03:20.200 I don't know if you know that, 01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:22.200 but he's the Seventh-day Adventist devil. 01:03:22.200 --> 01:03:24.200 I can't stand Ben Carson as far as I can throw him, right? 01:03:24.200 --> 01:03:27.200 I just, you know, just so you guys know, he was a bad, 01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:28.200 I'm glad he didn't become president. 01:03:28.200 --> 01:03:30.200 I'm glad Mitt Romney didn't become president, 01:03:30.200 --> 01:03:32.200 because, I mean, I don't know. 01:03:32.200 --> 01:03:35.200 It's just, that's a whole other thing. 01:03:35.200 --> 01:03:38.200 So I already touched on her, on her visions. 01:03:38.200 --> 01:03:43.200 I just wanted to give you just an idea of like what her visions were like, right? 01:03:43.200 --> 01:03:45.200 And so here it is. 01:03:45.200 --> 01:03:46.200 It says, 01:03:46.200 --> 01:03:50.200 White's visions were typically accompanied by dramatic physical phenomenon. 01:03:50.200 --> 01:03:54.200 She would fall into a trance-like state, cease breathing, 01:03:54.200 --> 01:03:56.200 which I don't know how you would do that, 01:03:56.200 --> 01:03:58.200 because if you stop breathing, you die. 01:03:58.200 --> 01:04:05.200 Just maintaining rapid heartbeat, exhibit supernaturally strong muscles. 01:04:05.200 --> 01:04:09.200 Apparently, she could hold 20-pound Bibles in her hand for hours at a time. 01:04:09.200 --> 01:04:12.200 This is just what's been said here. 01:04:12.200 --> 01:04:18.200 And speak coherently with eyes open, but unblinking and unseen. 01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:20.200 Man, I wouldn't like to play the blinking game with her. 01:04:20.200 --> 01:04:22.200 Remember that? Who's ever played the blinking game with you? 01:04:22.200 --> 01:04:24.200 You know, you don't blink? 01:04:24.200 --> 01:04:25.200 She was nuts. 01:04:25.200 --> 01:04:28.200 You know what this reminds me of when I read this? 01:04:28.200 --> 01:04:31.200 This reminds me of satanic possession. 01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:33.200 She was demonically possessed. 01:04:33.200 --> 01:04:37.200 This is who's leading a church of 20 million people. 01:04:37.200 --> 01:04:40.200 Like, guys, this is insane that we live in a world where people, 01:04:40.200 --> 01:04:42.200 and I've exposed this truth. 01:04:42.200 --> 01:04:44.200 You can expose this to Seventh-day Adventists, 01:04:44.200 --> 01:04:49.200 and they'll be like, yeah, but, and they're just going to keep going. 01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:52.200 You know, but we need to keep doing it because people will come out of there. 01:04:52.200 --> 01:04:55.200 I mean, I was in Seventh-day Adventists, and I got saved, 01:04:55.200 --> 01:04:58.200 so if I can get saved, a lot of people can get saved. 01:04:58.200 --> 01:05:01.200 I remember getting a call, and I'll start to wrap this thing up, 01:05:01.200 --> 01:05:02.200 but I remember getting a call. 01:05:02.200 --> 01:05:04.200 My wife and I had just recently gotten married, 01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:07.200 and I got a call from a young lady by the name of Hope. 01:05:07.200 --> 01:05:09.200 Well, a young lady, she's a little bit older than me. 01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:11.200 And we called her Hopey. 01:05:11.200 --> 01:05:13.200 We would do all the camps and everything. 01:05:13.200 --> 01:05:16.200 She was kind of older with her husband. 01:05:16.200 --> 01:05:17.200 They were dating at the time. 01:05:17.200 --> 01:05:18.200 They would lead all these camps. 01:05:18.200 --> 01:05:20.200 You know, we're all friends. 01:05:20.200 --> 01:05:24.200 This is like, so my wife and I got married in 2011. 01:05:24.200 --> 01:05:29.200 This is about 2012, so I'd been saved for like almost 10 years now. 01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:33.200 So this is a long time, and I'd already left the Adventists 01:05:33.200 --> 01:05:37.200 because I moved here in 2005, but I stopped really going like in 2003. 01:05:37.200 --> 01:05:40.200 So I'll just give you an idea of how long it's been since I really talked to this person. 01:05:40.200 --> 01:05:45.200 Randomly text me, I think, on Facebook. 01:05:45.200 --> 01:05:50.200 And you know, by the way, any time a lady or a woman texts me, I let my wife know. 01:05:50.200 --> 01:05:53.200 And she has, by the way, this is a side note. 01:05:53.200 --> 01:05:57.200 Men, be transparent with your wives. 01:05:57.200 --> 01:05:59.200 Like if you're hiding something, you're going to get yourself in trouble. 01:05:59.200 --> 01:06:00.200 This is stupid, right? 01:06:00.200 --> 01:06:01.200 My wife knows. 01:06:01.200 --> 01:06:04.200 And I actually was like, hey, honey, I know this lady from back in the day. 01:06:04.200 --> 01:06:06.200 She wants to talk. 01:06:06.200 --> 01:06:08.200 Just be here on speaker. 01:06:08.200 --> 01:06:10.200 It's nothing weird. 01:06:10.200 --> 01:06:14.200 And the first thing she does is like, hey, what's going on, hope, whatever, all the formalities. 01:06:14.200 --> 01:06:17.200 And she's like, hey, are you still a Seventh-day Adventist? 01:06:17.200 --> 01:06:20.200 And I was like, no, I'm not. 01:06:20.200 --> 01:06:24.200 And she's like, yeah, because I remember you shouting off the top of your lungs 01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:30.200 and fighting with all the pastors many years ago about all the weird stuff in the religion. 01:06:30.200 --> 01:06:31.200 I was like, oh, you do? 01:06:31.200 --> 01:06:32.200 I was like, I don't remember. 01:06:32.200 --> 01:06:33.200 That's why I'm saying I don't remember. 01:06:33.200 --> 01:06:36.200 I didn't think I was being that egregious with these guys. 01:06:36.200 --> 01:06:39.200 But apparently I was pretty loud because she remembered. 01:06:39.200 --> 01:06:42.200 And then, you know, God works in great and mysterious ways sometimes. 01:06:42.200 --> 01:06:48.200 And she's like, well, me and my husband, we're starting to question the Seventh-day Adventists. 01:06:48.200 --> 01:06:50.200 What can you tell me? 01:06:50.200 --> 01:06:52.200 And I gave her the gospel and they got saved. 01:06:52.200 --> 01:06:54.200 And to this day, they don't go to the Seventh-day Adventists anymore. 01:06:54.200 --> 01:06:56.200 You know, so people will pay attention. 01:06:56.200 --> 01:06:57.200 People come out. 01:06:57.200 --> 01:07:00.200 And you know, what's interesting is people say, oh, you shouldn't talk bad about this stuff. 01:07:00.200 --> 01:07:01.200 You shouldn't make a big deal. 01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:06.200 Apparently the big deal was what got the phone call because I didn't even remember making a big deal. 01:07:06.200 --> 01:07:10.200 But she remembered that I was so loud and obnoxious that she's like, 01:07:10.200 --> 01:07:12.200 this guy must know something that nobody else knows. 01:07:12.200 --> 01:07:13.200 Right? 01:07:13.200 --> 01:07:18.200 Like, I just remember fighting with it because it was so annoying because these guys were so arrogant and pompous. 01:07:18.200 --> 01:07:20.200 It was just like, it really got on my nerves. 01:07:20.200 --> 01:07:22.200 Go to Jeremiah 14 really quick. 01:07:22.200 --> 01:07:23.200 Go to Jeremiah 14. 01:07:23.200 --> 01:07:25.200 I only have one more point and we're done. 01:07:25.200 --> 01:07:26.200 Right? 01:07:26.200 --> 01:07:31.200 But she's known for making all these failed predictions. 01:07:31.200 --> 01:07:37.200 And historically, it's proven that she borrowed from other authors and material. 01:07:37.200 --> 01:07:40.200 She was basically plagiarizing because she was uneducated. 01:07:40.200 --> 01:07:41.200 Think about it. 01:07:41.200 --> 01:07:46.200 She got hurt when she was eight and then she got pulled out of the school system and never really finished her education. 01:07:46.200 --> 01:07:51.200 She got married at 18 and then they just let her run with the stupid visions. 01:07:51.200 --> 01:07:54.200 So she never even got fully educated. 01:07:54.200 --> 01:07:57.200 And she's constantly contradicting scripture. 01:07:57.200 --> 01:07:59.200 I mean, it's insane the amount of contradictions. 01:07:59.200 --> 01:08:00.200 Right? 01:08:00.200 --> 01:08:02.200 But Jeremiah 14, right there in verse 14, the Bible says, 01:08:02.200 --> 01:08:08.200 Then the Lord said unto me, the prophets prophesy lies in my name. 01:08:08.200 --> 01:08:13.200 I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them. 01:08:13.200 --> 01:08:22.200 They prophesy unto you a false vision and divination and a thing of not and the deceit of their heart. 01:08:22.200 --> 01:08:24.200 Go to Ezekiel 13. 01:08:24.200 --> 01:08:25.200 Go to Ezekiel 13. 01:08:25.200 --> 01:08:27.200 I'll read for you really quick in 2 Peter 2. 01:08:27.200 --> 01:08:28.200 Right there in verse 1, the Bible says, 01:08:28.200 --> 01:08:33.200 But there were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, 01:08:33.200 --> 01:08:40.200 who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them. 01:08:40.200 --> 01:08:45.200 You know, and today religions are, you know, a dime a dozen. 01:08:45.200 --> 01:08:48.200 And Ezekiel 13 right there in verse 1, the Bible says, 01:08:48.200 --> 01:08:50.200 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 01:08:50.200 --> 01:08:54.200 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy. 01:08:54.200 --> 01:08:56.200 Hey, why am I preaching against this today? 01:08:56.200 --> 01:08:58.200 Because that's what the Bible says. 01:08:58.200 --> 01:09:02.200 And say unto them that prophesy out of their hearts, hear you the word of the Lord. 01:09:02.200 --> 01:09:09.200 Thus saith the Lord God, Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing. 01:09:09.200 --> 01:09:13.200 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 01:09:13.200 --> 01:09:20.200 You have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. 01:09:20.200 --> 01:09:23.200 And they have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, 01:09:23.200 --> 01:09:26.200 The Lord saith, and the Lord hath not sent them, 01:09:26.200 --> 01:09:31.200 and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. 01:09:31.200 --> 01:09:32.200 And isn't that what I just explained? 01:09:32.200 --> 01:09:36.200 People had hope. They wanted to go home. 01:09:36.200 --> 01:09:38.200 And I think it's a great thing to want to go to heaven. 01:09:38.200 --> 01:09:40.200 I mean, that's why we lead people to Christ. 01:09:40.200 --> 01:09:43.200 But hey, it's not for you to make that call. 01:09:43.200 --> 01:09:47.200 The Lord has a timing for you, and you need to do the job while you're here. 01:09:47.200 --> 01:09:52.200 You can't just hope that somebody's got a better answer than the Bible. 01:09:52.200 --> 01:09:57.200 Point number three, they have the 28 fundamental beliefs. 01:09:57.200 --> 01:10:01.200 I'll have you turn your Bibles over to Romans 14. 01:10:01.200 --> 01:10:03.200 But in Matthew 7, the Bible warns us. 01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:06.200 It says, Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing. 01:10:06.200 --> 01:10:09.200 But inwardly, they are ravening wolves. 01:10:09.200 --> 01:10:14.200 Hey, we need to pay attention to this stuff because people are charismatic. 01:10:14.200 --> 01:10:17.200 People have the ability to talk well and sound well, 01:10:17.200 --> 01:10:19.200 and we can get caught up with these things. 01:10:19.200 --> 01:10:23.200 People get caught up in all kinds of stuff because somebody came in, 01:10:23.200 --> 01:10:26.200 and they sound good, and they sound right, 01:10:26.200 --> 01:10:28.200 but they're just not making any biblical sense. 01:10:28.200 --> 01:10:29.200 I mean, there's an idiot. 01:10:29.200 --> 01:10:33.200 He's not a Seventh-day Adventist, but Russell Brand, I think, is his name, 01:10:33.200 --> 01:10:38.200 the British guy, and he's making news right now because apparently he got saved. 01:10:38.200 --> 01:10:41.200 You know, he was going to kill himself, and then he found Jesus. 01:10:41.200 --> 01:10:45.200 And in there, there's no saved by grace, no belief, but he speaks well. 01:10:45.200 --> 01:10:49.200 He speaks with a British accent, which Americans love a British accent, 01:10:49.200 --> 01:10:52.200 and he's making headway, and it's stupid, right? 01:10:52.200 --> 01:10:54.200 The guy's not preaching any truth. 01:10:54.200 --> 01:10:58.200 The guy's going to hell if he doesn't believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, 01:10:58.200 --> 01:11:00.200 which he hasn't. 01:11:00.200 --> 01:11:03.200 So right now, if Russell Brand dies, you know where he's going? 01:11:03.200 --> 01:11:05.200 To hell. 01:11:08.200 --> 01:11:09.200 Let's close this thing out. 01:11:09.200 --> 01:11:12.200 This is just funny because you can just go see this thing, right? 01:11:12.200 --> 01:11:14.200 So we see the history. 01:11:14.200 --> 01:11:17.200 We see L and G, Y, and then we see their fundamental beliefs. 01:11:17.200 --> 01:11:19.200 Hey, by the way, you can just go to the website and get this. 01:11:19.200 --> 01:11:23.200 I don't have to do this, but what are the big things? 01:11:23.200 --> 01:11:25.200 The Sabbath. 01:11:25.200 --> 01:11:28.200 And on their website, there is belief number 20. 01:11:28.200 --> 01:11:31.200 Even though it's a really important belief, even though it's the Fourth Commandment, 01:11:31.200 --> 01:11:33.200 they're like, let's put it down in verse 20. 01:11:33.200 --> 01:11:36.200 You know, they're like, way down here is the Sabbath. 01:11:36.200 --> 01:11:37.200 It says, 01:11:37.200 --> 01:11:38.200 It says, 01:11:45.200 --> 01:11:46.200 It says, 01:11:56.200 --> 01:11:57.200 Work salvation, right? 01:11:57.200 --> 01:12:01.200 The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God in one another. 01:12:01.200 --> 01:12:05.200 It is a symbol of our redemption in Christ, a sign of our sanctification, 01:12:05.200 --> 01:12:09.200 a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste of our eternal future in God's kingdom. 01:12:09.200 --> 01:12:13.200 The Sabbath is God's perpetual sign of the eternal covenant between him and his people. 01:12:13.200 --> 01:12:18.200 Joyful observance of this holy time from evening to evening, sunset to sunset, 01:12:18.200 --> 01:12:20.200 is a celebration of God's creative redemptive acts. 01:12:20.200 --> 01:12:24.200 I was going to do a whole thing here, but I'm just going to give you the one minute synopsis. 01:12:24.200 --> 01:12:28.200 Obviously, they don't know that there's two calendars, right? 01:12:28.200 --> 01:12:32.200 The Hebrew calendar starts in the month of Nisan, 01:12:32.200 --> 01:12:37.200 which actually is between our calendar, between the months of March and April. 01:12:37.200 --> 01:12:38.200 You say, why do you say that? 01:12:38.200 --> 01:12:43.200 Well, because you have to do some math and stuff to make them line up, right? 01:12:43.200 --> 01:12:46.200 The Gregorian calendar, which is the modern calendar. 01:12:46.200 --> 01:12:49.200 You have the Hebrew calendar, which is the one established by God. 01:12:49.200 --> 01:12:53.200 And the Hebrews, the modern-day Jews even today, 01:12:53.200 --> 01:12:55.200 they have the same days of the week, 01:12:55.200 --> 01:12:58.200 but they don't call them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 01:12:58.200 --> 01:13:02.200 They call them day one, day two, day three, day four, day five, day six, 01:13:02.200 --> 01:13:04.200 and then the Sabbath, right? 01:13:04.200 --> 01:13:07.200 So the Sabbath just means day of rest and worship. 01:13:07.200 --> 01:13:09.200 And so I just think it's interesting. 01:13:09.200 --> 01:13:14.200 And then also here they like reference all the verses that you could go to to justify the Sabbath. 01:13:14.200 --> 01:13:17.200 First of all, Sabbath is not even found to weigh later in the Bible, 01:13:17.200 --> 01:13:21.200 but also in Leviticus, they reference Leviticus 23, 01:13:21.200 --> 01:13:23.200 which if you've been coming to the Sunday evenings, 01:13:23.200 --> 01:13:27.200 you know that we just destroyed that stupid notion of the Sabbath in Venice 01:13:27.200 --> 01:13:32.200 because Leviticus 23 talks about Sabbaths on the eighth day or on the ninth week 01:13:32.200 --> 01:13:34.200 or this month shall be a Sabbath to you. 01:13:34.200 --> 01:13:36.200 So when Jesus is saying the Sabbaths, 01:13:36.200 --> 01:13:40.200 he's talking about the days of worship and of rest that he set in order, 01:13:40.200 --> 01:13:42.200 not just a very specific day. 01:13:42.200 --> 01:13:47.200 And of course it ties it to salvation, which he's our rest, right? 01:13:47.200 --> 01:13:50.200 In Romans 14, I had you turn there in verse one, it says, 01:13:50.200 --> 01:13:52.200 I'm sorry. 01:14:20.200 --> 01:14:25.200 Another day, another above it, one day above another, another seemeth every day alike. 01:14:25.200 --> 01:14:30.200 Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 01:14:30.200 --> 01:14:31.200 In Colossus the Bible says, 01:14:31.200 --> 01:14:36.200 let no man therefore judge you in meat and drink or in respect of it holy day 01:14:36.200 --> 01:14:42.200 or of the new moon or of the Sabbath days, which are a shadow of things to come. 01:14:42.200 --> 01:14:44.200 But the body is of Christ. 01:14:44.200 --> 01:14:45.200 And I mean, I could go on and on and on. 01:14:45.200 --> 01:14:47.200 I'm not going to waste your time. 01:14:47.200 --> 01:14:50.200 I said, I already went into the investigative judgment. 01:14:50.200 --> 01:14:52.200 You can read it. 01:14:52.200 --> 01:14:57.200 But in belief number 24, they call it the ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. 01:14:57.200 --> 01:15:01.200 And the only thing that I want to point out here says there is a sanctuary in heaven, 01:15:01.200 --> 01:15:04.200 the true tabernacle the Lord set up and not humans. 01:15:04.200 --> 01:15:09.200 It is Christ ministers on behalf making available to believers the benefits of his atoning sacrifice 01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:11.200 offered once and for all on the cross. 01:15:11.200 --> 01:15:16.200 At his ascension, he was inaugurated as our great high priest. 01:15:16.200 --> 01:15:22.200 No, the Bible says he was a priest, a high priest always, not he was inaugurated. 01:15:22.200 --> 01:15:24.200 He's always been the high priest. 01:15:24.200 --> 01:15:31.200 That's what the Levitical law, that's what it shows us that they couldn't do what Christ did for us on the cross. 01:15:31.200 --> 01:15:34.200 He's always been the high priest. 01:15:34.200 --> 01:15:40.200 It says he began as an intercessory ministry, which is identified by the work of the high priest in the holy places. 01:15:40.200 --> 01:15:43.200 And then it says here it is the work of investigative judgment, 01:15:43.200 --> 01:15:48.200 which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew. 01:15:48.200 --> 01:15:54.200 So basically what it's saying is he's deciding by your works who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. 01:15:54.200 --> 01:15:58.200 And that all just on that alone, it's bad. 01:15:58.200 --> 01:16:04.200 And then the last one, just so you guys could have a good laugh and I'm done, is the dietary bondage. 01:16:04.200 --> 01:16:11.200 Because there's a famous guy, a famous Seventh-day Adventist by the name of Kellogg. 01:16:11.200 --> 01:16:19.200 If you don't know what Kellogg is, that you don't live in America, because who's ever eaten corn flakes? 01:16:19.200 --> 01:16:27.200 As a matter of fact, corn flakes are so famous that Mexicans only know one word for cereal, and it's corn flakes. 01:16:27.200 --> 01:16:31.200 They're like, hey, do you want cereal? Yes, I want corn flakes. 01:16:31.200 --> 01:16:37.200 What kind of corn flakes do you want? Oh, I want, you know, like honey notes or Cheerios. 01:16:37.200 --> 01:16:41.200 Yeah, no, but those are Cheerios. Yeah, I want some corn flakes. Cheerios. 01:16:41.200 --> 01:16:44.200 I want some corn flakes, you know, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 01:16:44.200 --> 01:16:50.200 That's how Nellie, you're right here. I'm looking at her, she's laughing because that's, we all call them Soviet, isn't that? 01:16:50.200 --> 01:16:54.200 Oh, you've never experienced that? Sorry, you're not a real Mexican. Sorry about that. 01:16:54.200 --> 01:16:58.200 Take her passport away. It's not allowed. 01:16:58.200 --> 01:17:04.200 But here's the problem with Kellogg, right? It says that he co-invented corn flakes with his brother. 01:17:04.200 --> 01:17:06.200 Just give me one more minute because this is great. 01:17:06.200 --> 01:17:15.200 In 1984, it was a bland, easy, digestible food to promote digestive health and reduce the urges of the flesh. 01:17:15.200 --> 01:17:18.200 I'm not going to defy your mind. It goes deeper than that. 01:17:18.200 --> 01:17:27.200 But that's why they did it, aligning with his advocacy for strict vegetarianism and opposition to meat, tobacco, alcohol, 01:17:27.200 --> 01:17:34.200 and of course other, you know, deeds of the flesh that I will not defy your mind with. 01:17:34.200 --> 01:17:36.200 These guys were basically sickos. 01:17:36.200 --> 01:17:42.200 He literally ran a sanitarium of crazy people and then he just force-fed them to stuff to try to make them better. 01:17:42.200 --> 01:17:46.200 He's nuts for doing this. This is the guys that are leading the religion. 01:17:46.200 --> 01:17:50.200 And to this day, think about it, it was just created. 01:17:50.200 --> 01:18:05.200 Kellogg is, they define this religion, redefine an entire generation that went from eating healthy breakfast to just like processed, dried out food. 01:18:05.200 --> 01:18:08.200 It's been proven that corn flakes are really bad for you, right? 01:18:08.200 --> 01:18:13.200 Not just corn flakes, you know, what is it, frosted flakes, which I love. I ate some last night. 01:18:13.200 --> 01:18:21.200 But they're bad. They're basically chock full of preservatives and sugar and all kinds of bad chemicals and all that stuff, right? 01:18:21.200 --> 01:18:27.200 And it gets worse, right, if you eat like, what is it, the leprechaun one, whatever it is, you know, 01:18:27.200 --> 01:18:31.200 Lucky Charms with all the marshmallows and everything, and it's horrible, right? 01:18:31.200 --> 01:18:36.200 But this is what these guys are. Like, he's an old friend, there's another guy, there's a famous movie mate, 01:18:36.200 --> 01:18:46.200 He was like a, like he protested the military and wouldn't lift up a, he got like a purple heart or something in the Vietnam War, but he wouldn't shoot a gun. 01:18:46.200 --> 01:18:51.200 That guy was a 70-minute, there's a movie that Mel Gibson made. 01:18:51.200 --> 01:19:00.200 But in closing, you know, what's the point? The point is that there's 20 million people, or plus or minus or whatever you want to do, that are going to hell. 01:19:00.200 --> 01:19:06.200 Look, the Bible is so clear, it says the laborers are few, but the harvest is white, right? 01:19:06.200 --> 01:19:12.200 We're ready to, like there's so much work to do, and we need to do it on all fronts. 01:19:12.200 --> 01:19:17.200 Soul winning is important, we're not going to stop soul winning, but you know what, we need to preach hard against this stuff, 01:19:17.200 --> 01:19:23.200 Because unfortunately, our other Baptist brethren have dropped the ball. They don't want to step on anybody's toes. 01:19:23.200 --> 01:19:28.200 Look, if you don't want to come here, if you don't want to listen to this, don't. 01:19:28.200 --> 01:19:34.200 But we're not going to stop preaching the Word of God, we're not going to stop telling the truth, and if people don't like it, well, tough cookies, 01:19:34.200 --> 01:19:40.200 because that's exactly what God said. He said you need to mark them, and then you need to call them out, and you need to shut them up, 01:19:40.200 --> 01:19:43.200 and you need to just basically tell them, go to hell. 01:19:43.200 --> 01:19:48.200 People get all offended, well, not you guys, but some people would get offended the way I talk to people on the phone. 01:19:48.200 --> 01:19:51.200 But hey, if you're a false prophet, I'm just going to tell you to go to hell. 01:19:51.200 --> 01:19:56.200 If you're a Seventh-day Adventist and you're a false prophet, and I know you are, you're going to go to hell. 01:19:56.200 --> 01:20:01.200 Now, if you're not saved and you just didn't know better, I'm going to preach you the Gospel, but then if you still anchor in, 01:20:01.200 --> 01:20:03.200 I'm going to tell you you're going to hell. 01:20:03.200 --> 01:20:05.200 So let's close in a word of prayer. 01:20:05.200 --> 01:20:09.200 Heavenly Father, Lord, thank you so much for today. Thank you for the opportunity to preach this. 01:20:09.200 --> 01:20:16.200 Sometimes some of these sermons feel like it's basic or review, but we need them all. 01:20:16.200 --> 01:20:19.200 And Lord, I'm just so grateful. 01:20:19.200 --> 01:20:28.200 I'm so grateful to Pastor Johnny Pope for sitting across the table and egging me on and pushing on me 01:20:28.200 --> 01:20:33.200 and explaining the Gospel and getting me saved when I was 25 years old 01:20:33.200 --> 01:20:41.200 and just destroying this false belief I had just because I was a good Sabbath keeper and I ate well and I read my Bible, 01:20:41.200 --> 01:20:43.200 I was going to heaven. 01:20:43.200 --> 01:20:46.200 It had nothing to do with me but all with the finished work on the cross, Lord. 01:20:46.200 --> 01:20:52.200 And I just pray that those listening to the sound of my voice on the internet, on YouTube or whatever, 01:20:52.200 --> 01:20:56.200 that they would listen to this and it would prick them at their heart 01:20:56.200 --> 01:21:00.200 and then they would just come to the knowledge, the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 01:21:00.200 --> 01:21:03.200 I pray that you would bless the rest of this week. 01:21:03.200 --> 01:21:10.200 Bless the activities this week as some of us are going to the anti-Israel conference, some of us are staying back. 01:21:10.200 --> 01:21:13.200 I just pray for both, the people here that we would run the church well 01:21:13.200 --> 01:21:16.200 and those that are over there that we would be edified. 01:21:16.200 --> 01:21:19.200 Thank you for all that you do, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. 01:21:19.200 --> 01:21:22.200 Let's turn our hymnals over to page 275. 01:21:22.200 --> 01:21:35.200 275. 01:21:35.200 --> 01:21:40.200 I practiced this one a little bit before so I need you guys to help me out. 01:21:40.200 --> 01:21:43.200 Go ahead, Hacama. 01:22:10.200 --> 01:22:13.200 Go, Spirit, go thy way. 01:22:13.200 --> 01:22:22.200 Some more convenient day on the outfall. 01:22:22.200 --> 01:22:31.200 Almost persuaded, come, come to me. 01:22:31.200 --> 01:22:41.200 Almost persuaded, come, come to me. 01:22:41.200 --> 01:22:50.200 Almost persuaded, turn not away. 01:22:50.200 --> 01:23:00.200 Jesus invites you here, angels are mining here. 01:23:00.200 --> 01:23:10.200 Prayers rise from hearts deep, oh wonder come. 01:23:10.200 --> 01:23:19.200 Almost persuaded, harvest its past. 01:23:19.200 --> 01:23:28.200 Almost persuaded, new comes at last. 01:23:28.200 --> 01:23:38.200 Almost cannot avail, almost is but to fail. 01:23:38.200 --> 01:23:47.200 Sad, sad that bitter wail, almost but lost. 01:23:47.200 --> 01:23:49.200 You are dismissed. 01:23:58.200 --> 01:24:00.200 Amen.
