also we have uh
a couple soul winning events june 12th
and july 3rd
so please participate in those as well
um just a couple
other announcements they're not in the bulletin
but i just wanted to make everybody aware of
uh we've had a lot of times
after a service or even before a service
kids just love to congregate over
here by the door and just
just to ensure safety we haven't had an
issue but i just don't want to have an
issue just so that kids don't like
get their fingers smashed in the door
or someone's toddler accidentally
escapes and
uh you know obviously someone could run out of the parking
lot there could be an injury or an accident
we just want to keep all the kids away
from that area
just for everyone's safety um
additionally um just
in the idea of safety
i want to please ask that no one
bring toys of any kind for their children
i know it's tempting to want to
bring a toy for them but they really don't
need it during service and after service it can
just cause problems um
if you have like a teething ring or something
for your baby obviously that's fine
but i'm just saying toys specifically
my children don't bring toys they don't need toys
and uh so we just make
sure that we're not racking up we basically
just like rack up toys every single week you
know in our in our storage basket or whatever
and we don't you know dylan
he does get bored sometimes at work but
uh i try to keep him away from the extra
spare toys and so um
we don't need any more he's got plenty
alright and uh also
if uh if your child is
crying please just try to make sure to
take care of them even if
you're in a mother baby room area or anything
just because obviously this area
this area can echo and we're all in kind one space
and we just want to make sure that
we're not uh being a distraction
to people any more than we have to
obviously kids are going to cry
they're going to have issues but just please try to
take care of them if they're unable
to be corr- corralled or
unable to be controlled please just try to step
out and then you can get them under control
just so we can keep
uh church services uh
and distractions down to a minimum so
that's pretty much all i had for announcements
uh i'll keep announcing that for the next couple
weeks just so everybody's on the same page
but with that let's go to our third song

while the offering plates are being passed around
please turn in your bibles to Genesis chapter 9. That's Genesis chapter 9.
Genesis 9 the Bible reads,
and God blessed Noah and his sons
and said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply
and replenish the earth and the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon
every beast of the earth and upon every fowl of the air upon all that moveth
upon the earth and upon all the fishes of the sea into your hand are they
delivered every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you even as the green
herb have I given you all things but flesh with the life thereof which is the
blood thereof shall ye not eat and surely your blood of your lives will I
require at the hand of every beast will I require it and at the hand of man at
the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man who so sheddeth
man's blood by man shall his blood be shed for in the image of God made he man
and you be fruitful and multiply bring forth abundantly in the earth and
multiply therein and God spake unto Noah and it was sons with him saying and I
behold I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you and with
every living creature that is with you of the fowl of the cattle and of every
beast of the earth with you from all that go out of the ark to every beast of
the earth and I will establish my covenant with you neither shall all
flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood neither shall there any more
be a flood to destroy the earth and God said this is the token of the covenant
which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you
for perpetual generations I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a
token of a covenant between me and the earth and it shall come to pass when I
bring a cloud over the earth that the bow shall be seen in the cloud and I
will remember my covenant which is which is between me and you and every living
creature of all flesh and the water shall no more become a flood to destroy
all flesh and the bow shall be in the cloud and I will look upon it that I may
remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of
all flesh that is upon the earth and God said unto Noah this is the token of the
covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon
the earth and the sons of Noah that went forth of the ark were Shem and Ham and
Japheth and Ham is the father of Canaan these are the three sons of Noah and of
them was the whole earth overspread and Noah began to be in husband and he
planted a vineyard and he drank of the wine and was drunken and he was uncovered
within his tent and Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father
and told his two brethren without and Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid
it upon both their shoulders and went backward and covered the nakedness of
their father and their faces were backward they saw not their father's
nakedness and Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done
unto him and he said cursed be Canaan a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren and he said blessed be the Lord God of Shem and Canaan shall be his
servant God shall enlarge Japheth and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem and
Canaan shall be his servant and Noah lived after the flood 350 years and all
the days of Noah were 950 years and he died let's bow our heads for a word of
prayer father God we thank you for Genesis chapter 9 I prayed that you
would fill Pastor Shelley with your spirit tonight and just help him to
preach his sermon articulately clearly and with boldness and Lord I also pray
that you would minimize distractions for us so that we can extract as much as
possible from the sermon tonight and we can learn more about this chapter in
Jesus name I pray amen amen we're going back through Genesis chapter number nine
we're in our Bible study and we just left off with Noah and his family
getting off of the ark and then chapter number eight it just finished with the
fact they had offered a sacrifice and that it was a well-pleasing sacrifice
unto the Lord and he makes this statement in verse number 22 while the
earth remaineth seedtime and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and
day and night shall not cease and so God's basically re-establishing the
earth or the world as we speak he's kind of having to start over and so some of
the things that are iterated to Adam and Eve are gonna be reiterated to Moses and
his family because essentially they're starting in the same boat where they're
the only people alive and in fact you know there's very few animals that are
alive on the earth it's just been destroyed by a cataclysmic flood that
covered the entire earth and so they're starting in a very small population and
we see in verse number one the Bible says and God blessed no one his sons and
seven of them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth now this is a
very important commandment and really at any point in time when you see God's
people are people at a very low number it's very important that their fruitful
multiply otherwise they'll cease to even exist and this would be the case with
all animals this would be a case of mankind they're obviously an endangered
species so to speak right I mean there's not very many people alive and so this
is a very important commandment for them carnally speaking but it's also a very
important commandment spiritually speaking and he reiterates the same
thing replenish the earth which would mean to fill again now this is not the
first time he gave this commandment go back to Genesis chapter number one go
back to Genesis chapter number one and we'll see that this is the same
commandment that God had already given to Adam and Eve look at verse 28 so
Genesis chapter 1 verse 28 and God blessed them and God said unto them be
fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion
over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth and so we have basically the exact same
scenario with Adam and Eve God's now giving the same commandments the same
instructions unto Noah and some people get really you know they read into the
text way too much here in verse 28 because it says to fill again and
they'll be like oh so the earth must have been filled before Adam and Eve and
they try to come up with like an evolutionary or theistic evolution type
ideology but I believe why God put this replenish here in verse 28 is because
it's a universal command it's a command that is always going to be true for all
people it's not just Adam and Eve and God with his foreknowledge knows of
things like the flood where he's going to end up having Noah and his family and
their instructions to fill the earth again because if God had told Adam and
Eve fill the earth okay and they filled the earth and God destroyed it it's not
inherently obvious that they need to refill it again or if for whatever
reason a certain portion of the earth was not filled it got destroyed after
being filled well here's the question do we have to fill it again and it's yes we
always have to constantly replenish the earth and constantly fill the earth and
constantly add more people and we should not be seeking to reduce the population
but rather constantly increasing the population you know it'd be a wicked
satanic doctrine or ideology that's trying to decrease population whereas
God wants us to continually populate the earth and to grow and multiply and have
tons and tons of people and the earth is not filled there is plenty of room for
way more people than exist on this planet just drive around in Texas I mean
I mean there is so much land and the amount of space that we are occupying I
mean people are putting you know basically packed in like rats and
there's parts of the country where you go to like China or other areas where
people are packed in so much more than they even are in Texas or in other areas
and so we could literally fill this earth with so many more people than we
already do and I think when we look at this from a spiritual picture go back
to Genesis chapter 9 you know there could be times in our history where
Christianity starts to dwindle or starts to decrease and has small numbers and it
would be a commandment to us to constantly multiply and replenish the
earth with Christians with people that are saved and love the Lord and I think
when you study history and you look at different times there's been times where
Christianity is not thriving there's been times where Christianity might be a
minority or it might have decreased to a smaller number but those Christians
eventually grow over time and they multiply and they replenish the earth
and so we should not be discouraged even if our faith is a small number we have
to take the commandment that Noah's given here and we need to multiply and
replenish the earth with saved zealous Christians for the things of God it's a
constant commandment that we have to continually fulfill it's a universal
commandment look at verse number two and this falls in line with what we already
read but it says in the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every
beast of the earth and upon every fount of the air upon all that moveth upon the
earth and upon all the fishes of the sea and to your hand are they delivered and
so the Bible reiterates and makes it clear that mankind is supposed to be the
ruler or to have dominion over all other living creatures whether that be on
the land whether it be in the air whether it be in the sea just every
single beast is to be subject unto mankind and really that's what we see
today in fact the majority of all living creatures are afraid of man inherently
they have a natural instinct that causes them to shy away from mankind or to be
fearful for mankind and unless you pose a threat to them or intimidate them or
attack them or harass them they pretty much leave you alone now obviously you
could be in the woods and there could be a dangerous situation where there's a
wolf or a bear or any of these type of creatures and you need to be aware of
those circumstances or even maybe in the ocean there could be a shark but
typically even in those situations the person that's attacked or hurt or harmed
or killed is in some way provoking that animal by trespassing on their property
their area or whatever their habitat attacking their young don't want to
attack mama bear little cubs okay you don't want to have blood on you when
you're swimming in the ocean you know sharks will smell that and they'll come
after you and in fact I've even heard this you know you could look up and
research yourself but a lot of scientists and there's been studies that
claim that dogs and certain animals can sense fear they can sense something
whenever it's afraid or it has some kind of emotion and so it's best to act calm
around animals you know even dogs and dogs a lot of times will not attack you
if you're facing it if you're looking at the dog and you're kind of looking at it
is looking at you it's probably not gonna bite you necessarily it can
obviously still but a lot of times it's not usually a dog will attack you
whenever you turn your back on it and it'll nip at your heels because it
senses that you're fleeing it senses that you're afraid of it or something
so you so winners when you go out so winning if a dog's approaching the worst
thing you could probably do is run away screaming okay because it'll love that
will feed off of that it'll probably come in and try to attack you even worse
the best thing is just to stand up to the bully as you know and that's always
the case right you just you just you like look at it stand it down you have
this is your sword okay in case you need to kind of use it or whatever and
for the ladies you know get a taser you know if you get a taser you don't even
have to use it you just click it and it's just like and those things will run
they'll just get scared and they get all nervous or whatever and the reality is
though that mankind has dominated beasts of the earth and even big beasts you
know what we call dinosaurs today things like the Bible describes behemoth or
Leviathan or the fiery flying serpent or dragons or these type of creatures the
Bible makes it clear they existed throughout history yet mankind has
conquered them mankind has defeated them and in fact a lot of European cities are
named specifically after a dragon that was slain in their history now some
people say that's just a myth but that's kind of a coincidence that there's all
these places that happen to have stories and places named after the dragons that
they slay since there's no other mythical beast a beast that doesn't exist
that we have all these names and stories about that are basically corroborated
from all kinds of different areas in the world it's obviously that dragons have
existed throughout history but because they pose a threat to mankind we used to
dude it killed it destroyed it to the point where either they exist in such
rarity we can't find one or they just don't even exist anymore I think both
are a viable reality for today but that's a different sermon what I do want
to point to those this I think this is an interesting concept is the fact that
the animals have been put in subjection to us whereas people that reject the
Bible they believe this and they understand this but their theology or
their ideology would basically predicate an opposite viewpoint because most
people you know that reject the Bible especially in America would give lip
service or kind of claim to believe in evolution where they basically think
that all of life has basically come from a singular ancestor and that there's all
this different variation that spread abroad and basically the dinosaur turned
into chicken and everything else like that that's a weird natural selection
there but they basically believe they all came from these different common
ancestors and that we are just a result of natural selection now here's the
reality though if that's true then there's no guarantee that any of the
beasts on the earth would not destroy mankind and overtake us as the
dominating animal or force that exists on the planet yet people don't really
seem to be freaking out I mean obviously got movies like Planet of the Apes okay
we understand we have planet but there's there's no reality people aren't
truly concerned with the fact that animals are gonna destroy us however
recently people like Bill Nye and other people they've been saying well there
could be a virus that comes and basically wipes out mankind and by the
process of natural selection it overtakes and destroys us and so that's
why they have all these freaking out policies about you know population
control and masking and doing all these things because from their perspective
they could argue yeah a virus could I mean if evolution is true there's
nothing stopping a virus from literally wiping out every human on this planet in
fact if evolution is true there's nothing stopping nothing from exploding
right next to me and in destroying everything right there's nothing
stopping an asteroid from coming and wiping us all out tomorrow and here's
another thing there's nothing stopping a person on this planet deciding to kill
every single other person on this planet there's nothing stopping another race or
country from wiping every single person out on this planet there would be
nothing stop and in fact if evolution is true morality doesn't even exist because
we see animals savagely destroying one another and killing each other and just
doing these things and I don't see the CNN article black panther kills white
leopard you know and another savage attack I feel like these black panthers
are racist you know or a black panther kills white dove you know they don't
ever seem to be hyping these type of stories why because it's just accepted
that the animals you know do whatever they're gonna do and they kill each
other but yet worse we're still over them and dominate them and destroy them
because animals could never compete with mankind we're made in the image of God
we're an ultimately superior creation to all of these other beasts and it's just
obvious today we don't perceive any threat from these things we don't
perceive any threat from beasts we know that we have dominion over them whereas
from an evolutionary perspective that wouldn't even be the case so they're not
consistent in their own ideology now go to 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 second
Corinthians chapter 3 you know I already quoted for you in another sermon but
Charles Darwin literally taught and literally has a quote teaching that at
some point the more sophisticated or civilized races would end up
exterminating the more savage races and that's where we get a lot of the racism
that exists today but here's the thing that is a reasonable conclusion to the
ideology of evolution it's not an unre if evolution is true then all the races
as they so-called or all the different mankind are a little bit different in
their speciation in their genetic code and there's nothing stopping any
particular group of people from wiping out every other group of people on this
planet and so really if atheism was true and evolution was true I submit to you
that the worst thing you could do is tell people about it
because if ever if atheism is true there's no judgment there's no moral
recompense to any of your actions and by saying hey you could kill me and
there's no consequence to it and in fact if you don't kill me there's a
potential I might kill you first right and I pose a threat to you every single
person every single living organism poses a threat to every other single
living organism if evolution is true the best thing you could do if you were an
atheist is tell no person and hope that they're all just believing a false
religion they're just subdued by a false religion and would never want to
hurt you or harm you for any reason and then you can just basically exploit that
special knowledge or information for yourself if atheism was true and really
the countries that are truly atheistic the countries that really elevate this
ideology or propagated or it's very prominent in their area isn't that
exactly what we see them doing today what is the most atheistic country in
the world China China they is apparently you know and I don't know if
this is necessarily a hundred percent accurate but the reports and the polling
and what they suggest is that in China ninety percent of the people that live
in China are atheists are atheists okay and what do we see in atheism or what
do we see in China the most strict government that exists where they're not
allowed to basically resist and they're not allowed to preach their own ideology
everything has to be basically approved from that upper echelon that higher
chain why because every single person poses a threat to them and they realize
that that they're posing a threat to them so they don't want anything to
challenge that ideology and they're going to basically enforce a very strict form
of control or government it's called slavery evolution promotes slavery if
you want to eliminate slavery or the ideology of having to control and subdue
everything then you need the Bible now the Bible does promote this viewpoint
but here's the thing it's man versus beast hey the Beast is subdued to us
we're in control of it it's you know subject to our wills wants and wishes
but mankind is not we're not going to basically exert that type of dominion
control over each other simply over the beasts of the field and so the true
liberty the true freedom that exists for humankind is only through the Bible now
look what it says in second chapter 3 verse 17 the Bible says now the Lord is
that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and I will
submit to you day the countries that have the most freedom for the broad
scale of its citizens is going to be the most godly society the country that
loves the Lord where the Spirit of the Lord is where they're exonerating his
word and they're believing his commandments and they're saved is going
to be the freest country that exists on the planet today and that's exactly what
we see the countries that reject the Lord they reject the Bible are the most
totalitarian the most oppressive governments and areas that exist today
in fact I even looked up an article ten countries with the strictest laws in the
world ten countries of the strictest laws in the world and here's the list
number ten is North Korea now I'm surprised number ten but at least they
made it because that's real I mean North Korea is so extreme you cannot have any
opinion that goes against any of the government any of their country anything
it doesn't matter TV news I don't know if they have social media if they do it
cannot go against you can't even express an opinion that says you don't
like the North Korean government can you imagine living in America today where
literally it's just CNN is the only acceptable news network that's the only
thing that exists you have no social media even just by saying like I don't
really like our government you could be arrested you could be in prison hey for
expressing any kind of religious opinion whether that be the Bible or anything
will be immediately condemned you could be killed put in prison this is not
freedom in fact you're not allowed to have a brain basically it's just like a
forced lobotomy on you that's just like accept what we believe I mean you want
to talk about 1984 it's called North Korea it already exists I mean Big
Brother is Kim Jong-un or ill or I don't know which one it is it changes every
once in a while but Kim Jong something just call him Big Brother really and the
reality is they have no say now they have even worse ones listed here I mean
supposedly number nine Iran number eight Syria number seven a trio number six
equatorial Guinea number five Saudi Arabia number four Cuba number three
China China number two Japan number one Singapore now basically you have two
options that are basically being pushed here number one either a communist
atheistic society that has to enforce the most strict government regulation or
a theocracy of false religion that's forced upon its citizens through Islam
neither of these places are free neither of these places have liberty today and
really the ad the reality is the only freedom comes from the Bible and you
ask well how come we're losing so much freedom and liberty in America today
it's because we're losing the spirit of the Lord because we don't have the Word
of God being Thunder forth because people are becoming less Christian and
the less Christian our country becomes the less free our country will become
why because this ideology permeates the mind of the unsaved person where every
person's a threat to them and so they have to control them but the reality is
the Bible teaches self-control the Bible emir you know iterates the commandments
of God and puts people in fear of God and because of the fear of God people
behave because of the fear of God people don't go out and commit horrible
atrocities and evil and wickedness but when there is no fear of the Lord where
there is no spirit of the Lord controlling people well now you have to
have a government control them now you have to have false religion come in and
control people and dictate their rules you show me a free country that's
atheistic and that's Islam it doesn't exist and even if it does for a very
short duration it'll eventually become a total totalitarian society because
eventually they'll realize we got to control these people somehow and they
will enforce all kinds of restrictions on them like oh what about Europe
Europe's like that look Europe they in certain countries in Europe you are not
allowed to home school you're not allowed to have all the kids that you
want you can't even have a second job and some European countries if you have
a second job your second job is taxed at a 90% rate 90% it's sick oh that's
freedom that's not freedom oh but I have so much freedom to do whatever I have
free health care that's not free and it's not even how is that free you say
oh I have a free health care well what are my options you have to go to this
one place that the government recommended well what if I don't want
that opinion doesn't matter you just have to take their opinion you know at
least in America you can go and you can shop doctors you can look at doctors and
you can you know you can ask questions what they believe they're like they're
like I voted for Biden and I believe everything that Fauci says you're like
I'm gonna pick a new doctor okay like this doctor whereas hey you live in some
of these other countries that's the only doctor that's allowed to exist and you
just have to be spoon-fed whatever the government's telling you whatever they
want you to do hey there's some places in Europe I think in Italy specifically
they are UK maybe I'm maybe getting those confused maybe it's the both they
still haven't come out of lockdown people are still in their houses from
the initial lockdown I am not kidding you they're not allowed to go out in the
streets and you know there's other countries like India well they have a
religion oh yeah India if you go out in the street and you're caught they'll
literally beat you they'll literally just take their batons and they will
literally savagely just beat you in the street for being out of your house
physically that's the violation why cuz all these COVID mandates and the people
are literally in their house starving they have no food no water they're
defecating on themselves and if they try to go out to get food they get beat by
the police in the street oh so much freedom hey you want to know where
freedom is from the Bible from God's Word and you know what even though we
see so much freedom and stuff stripped away from us you know obviously it's
still the best place to live you find me another place to live it doesn't exist
and of course if you say what's the most Christian nation I mean America
historically has been that type of nation has been the the beacon of
Christianity and we've seen other nations UK used to be like that but now
they've deteriorated now they're given to Islam and and the reality is you know
the Bible is true as the day is long you know we see that we're in control of the
animals but then false religion and government control has to control humans
because they're not being governed by the Bible and you look at a church like
ours and people would look at it and they would say oh you guys are so
restrictive you have so many rules you guys you guys actually throw people out
of church you know and you say no dogs allowed on your door and you know you
don't have all these extra you know options for the kiddos you know you
don't have this pedophile ring over here I'm sorry daycare or whatever nursery
you know to basically put the kids in where it would be so liberated in the
services pastor Shelley I mean we're burdened with our kids sorry to burden
you with the best thing that ever happened to you the gift of God children
okay you know but they think all you guys are so restrictive and you have
three times a week oh it's such a burden but let me tell you what when you get
out of a good church when you stop going to an independent fundamental Baptist
Church you'll see the shackles of sin you'll see all the deceitfulness of
riches come upon you and you'll be burdened with lies you'll be burdened
with deception you'll be burdened with STDs you'll be burdened with the fact
that you don't have any joy in your life you'll be burdened with fake friends I
mean go and find a person that's normal today outside the walls of church it's
hard to find a good friend it's hard to find normal people today and you want to
say that this is restrictive it's not restrictive at all and I try to make our
church the least restrictive as possible in fact there's plenty of things that I
think are horrible that I that I don't throw people out of church for I look at
people and I'm thinking like you dress like that you talk like that and you do
this and like you hang out with that person and you I mean I'm just thinking
like wow that's bad but I'm not gonna throw you out of church for it now I
might make you feel uncomfortable when I start preaching the Word of God but you
know that's not my fault that's your fault okay now look at verse number three
the Bible says this every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you even
as the green herb have I given you all things but flesh with the life thereof
which is the blood thereof shall ye not eat and surely your blood of your lies
will I require at the hand of every beast will I require it and at the hand
of man at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of me
now why am I making such a big deal about these rules and statues and stuff
notice that at the beginning with Adam and Eve very few commandments think
about it in the garden don't eat this tree that's not a big list in fact
everybody could add the commandments memorized at that point in time you know
you think about memorizing Exodus chapter number 20 you're like that's
kind of hard but memorizing Genesis ones a lot easier right or just the few
verses pertaining to Commandments think about Noah here is this a huge list of
Commandments no because the reality is why do Commandments exist because of
transgression the more righteous you are the more godly you are the less rules
that you need the more sinful you are the worse you behave the less you
control yourself the more rules have to be created the more you think like I
would have never thought we had to have that rule but obviously we do right why
because people cannot control themselves be people are not self-regulating people
are just lazy slopple don't care or they're not willing to basically put in
the effort to do that which is right and because of that you need more rules you
look at America America only adds laws every single year why because it's more
and more sinful every single year but if we started to self-regulate and you know
be more like Christ and follow his commandments we could start taking rules
off the books we could start eliminating laws that are no longer necessary
because they just aren't pertaining to anything anybody ever does okay and so
God when he's giving commandments to Noah look it's simple he has simple
rules but as man is you know inherently sinful and has lots of problems God
continues to add more and more commandments rules regulations
throughout but notice the rules are also in coordination with your behavior
children if you say man my parents give me all kinds of rules I feel like I have
a new rule every single day why don't you start behaving better and your
parents won't have to make so many rules you know it's like don't stand on the
couch and don't stand on that chair and don't stand on the table and it's like
hey maybe you should just realize I shouldn't get on things that aren't
designed for me to stand on and then they don't have to make a rule for every
object of the house they were like I didn't think I had to say refrigerator I
didn't think I had to say chimney I didn't think I had to say roof I didn't
guess at the top of the car while it's moving you know but can't start doing
weird stuff so I'm not trying to plan ideas in their head all right you don't
do that this is not an advertisement of what to do but God is giving them rules
and statutes for the things that are necessary and as man is sinful and doing
wrong he needs more rules now I love this one in verse number three that I'm
sorry yeah in verse number three that every moving thing that liveth shall be
meet for you hey amen praise praise the Lord on that commandment I love steak I
love I love pretty much all meat okay and real meat not fish all right but I
basically like everything that moveth on the ground okay everything that was
destroyed in the flood it's really tasty when you put it on the barbecue and we
have to understand about this commandment is it it kind of changes
because some Commandments in the Bible are universal some are circumstantial
okay in the beginning he told Adam and Eve that the herbs were meat for him so
reading between the lines it's it's reasonable to think that mankind was
pretty much just eating a vegetarian type diet in the garden or at the very
beginning and now we see that he's eating meat and as you go into the
dietary laws of the Old Testament they end up God puts restrictions on certain
meats you know he says no bacon it's like you know that was kind of that was
kind of a blow you know some of the other ones it was kind of like yeah I
wasn't gonna try that anyways okay I didn't really want to eat every creeping
thing that creeped it on the ground but obviously certain dietary restrictions
were put in place and some people get confused by this go if you would to first
of the chapter number four first of the chapter number four and in fact some
people they call themselves Torah observing Christians which is really
it's it's it's an oxymoron because the word Torah means law okay and basically
a law observing Christian first of all you don't observe all the laws number
one and number two that has nothing to do with being a Christian me a Christian
is believing in Christ is putting your faith and trust in Christ now obviously
we should follow God's commandments to the best of our ability but Torah is
also a representative of the first five books of Moses the law quote unquote and
there's a lot of things in there that changed with the New Testament
specifically and we see a change here from Adam and Eve to Noah and then we're
gonna see a change again with the dietary restrictions given to Moses but
then we also have a change again in the New Testament first to be chapter number
four look at verse number three the Bible says forbidding to marry and
commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth for every creature of God
is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving for to
sanctified by the Word of God and prayer so according to the Bible every kind of
meat every kind of creature is acceptable to eat as long as you pray
for it you know it's basically as you thank the Lord you give thanks for the
food that he gives you and really to teach otherwise the Bible says it's a
doctrine of Devils you know what's funny about this is Joel Osteen he never
preaches against anything but he's literally preached that it's it's a sin
to eat bacon it's a sin to eat pork and he got up and he taught his church to
not eat any of the unclean beasts and I'm just like of all the things for you
to preach against why would you preach against bacon but I guess when you're
filled with Devils that's the only thing that can come out his hard
preaching is preaching it's bacon which is not even legitimate it's a false
doctrine but obviously you know it's just another evidence of the fact the
guy's a wicked false prophet he's teaching things that the Devils are
whispering in his ear and I'm sure he probably eats bacon in secret you know
he's probably a lot he's probably a hypocrite on that but that's just my
personal opinion okay but why we will get confused of this they say well if
God commanded it I'm gonna do it period okay well he also commanded the children
of Israel to sacrifice a lamb on every Passover you do how you doing on that
one he also told them to eat bitter herbs how you doing on that one okay he
also told you a lot of different things to do and obviously there's gonna be
circumstances around God's commandments some commandments are only for men some
commandments are only for women some commandments are for children some
commandments are for parents some commandments are for the children of
Israel some commandments are for Christians so we have to at least
realize that some commandments don't always apply to every single person at
all times some Commandments have circumstances and a context tied to them
now this is just like our life today think about a driver's license okay was
there a point in my life where it was illegal for me to drive yeah but then
after I turned 16 got a driver's license now it's lawful for me to drive yes I'm
still it's I'm still awful and driving okay some of you have ridden with me
you're questioning that but it's I I do have a driver's license that's valid
okay but the reality is it's not that the commandment changed it's that my
circumstances change right and so here's the reality it was unlawful for
Christians or God's people to eat certain meats in the Old Testament but
then once they pass in the New Testament now it's lawful again that's
not even hard to be understood and in fact every Christian whether they claim
to be Torah observing or not there are certain commandments they just don't do
from the Old Testament they like to cherry-pick which ones but we should
instead of cherry-picking let the Bible tell us which ones which you know it's
not in this course of this sermon but if you look in Hebrews and other places the
Bible makes it clear which you know commandments that is meats drinks divers
washings cardinal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation
basically if the commandment is not inherently sinful and just pictures to
what Christ was going to do they were done away with in the New Testament if
it's always sinful then it's still enforced murder lying stealing punching
someone in the face okay these that blasphemy eating blood now we're going
to get some of those here and Noah and you know Noah's getting commandments
that are pretty much universal for the most part here look at Genesis chapter
number nine verse four I'm sorry yeah verse four I you're not supposed to eat
the blood right that's an always commandment but certain meats that was a
circumstantial temporary commitment verse number five and six let's read six
now it says who so sheds man's blood by man shows blood be shed for an image of
God made him in murders always wrong and the death penalty notice is before the
law that was given to Moses some people get really mad about this they're like
how can you believe in the death penalty well the death penalty was instituted
with Noah which is for the law and then the law had the death penalty and then
Jesus taught the death penalty and then Paul taught the death penalty and then
Christians for thousands of years after the New Testament believed in the death
penalty and just recently is it now coming into question so either you on an
island are right or everybody else is right let's go with everybody else on
this one okay and it just makes sense why would you ever advocate for a lesser
punishment than the death penalty for a murderer for a first-degree murder which
is what the Bible very clearly teaches would always be wrong and not only just
mankind even animals the Bible teaches that if an animal were to kill a person
it should be put to death and it even teaches that if an animal were known to
push or to move or basically present an attack towards a person and multiple
occasions then that animal should be put to death and in fact the owner of it
should be put to death if he doesn't basically keep track of his animal so
all those you know pit bull owners hey if your pit bull is aggressive towards
a person one time and then you allow it to tack a person or hurt them you're
liable you're the person that should be punished for that because you're supposed
to subdue and make sure that your animals are not hurting heart humans why
because a human life is worth all animal lives combined and then more every
single animal life hey I would kill every animal on the planet for one baby
for one fetus for one zygote for one blastus I mean you know to say that we
should be killing babies in their womb yet you know how dare you kill an
endangered Eagle you know well guess what Eagles could probably come back
because God gave the genetic complexity in these animals you can basically
create any dog at any point any time through selective breeding so a lot of
these endangered species we could probably get them back if we you know
took that kind of animal and breed of them specifically for a particular Eagle
but or a particular type of stork or whatever you know species is so limited
and it's its concept when people say endangered species who cares you could
make it again it'd be like if we basically had some chocolate cookies
over here and there's only five left then I'm like it's an endangered species
of cookie it's like I bet we could find the ingredients to make some more I bet
we could get the bat and look my kids get really nervous about endangered
cookie species you know they're really concerned with like you know who's gonna
eat the last one and don't finish and we share drinks and food or whatever they're
like they're gonna eat it all you know it's a milkshake or something like
they're gonna drink it all or whatever and it's like you know get over yourself
yet nobody seems to be worried about mankind about killing babies or killing
people or doing these type of things yeah they're just a bunch of hypocrites
now let's read this next section I read a lot of portion here and then we'll
kind of summarize and finish our sermon but look at verse number eight and God's
speaking to no one to his sons with him saying and I behold I established my
covenant with you and with your seed after you and with every living creature
that is with you of the fowl of the cattle and of every beast of the earth
with you from all that go out of the ark to every beast of the earth and I will
establish my covenant with you neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by
the waters of a flood neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the
earth and God said this is the token of the covenant which I make between me and
you and every living creature that is with you for petrol generations I do set
my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth and it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth that the
bow shall be seen in the cloud and I'll remember my covenant which is between me
and you and every living creature of all flesh and the water shall no more become
a flood to destroy all flesh and the bow shall be in the cloud and I will look
upon it that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and
every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth and God said unto Noah
this is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all
flesh that is upon the earth and the sons of Noah that went forth of the ark
were Shem and Ham and Japheth and Ham is the father of Canaan now in verse 19 of
these these are the three sons of Noah and of them was the whole earth over
spread so God makes a covenant with Noah and then he says all of his seed for all
perpetual generations which would be every single person every single person
on this planet is a descendant of Noah specifically and then we're also
descendants of Adam and Eve she's the mother of all living okay now the Bible
makes it clearer that God made a covenant with everyone not even just
mankind every living beast God made a covenant now we could lose another word
to think of covenant like contract okay or an agreement or the Bible used the
word Testament okay now we think of the First Testament and the Second Testament
or the Old Covenant and the New Covenant or the Old Testament or the New
Testament and God made these with mankind and it was with the shedding of
blood interesting fact this also covenant is established with a lot of
bloodshed a lot of things were destroyed and killed but this contracts
interesting one because it takes no effort on our part in the sense that God
is literally just making a promise to all mankind that he will never destroy
the earth with a flood ever again he's never gonna wipe us out again he has
satisfied that requirement he's never gonna do it and to signify that he'll
never judge the earth again by destroying it all with a flood he put a
bow in the sky now when we think of bow we think of rainbow that's what we
typically associate that with rainbow is not a word found your Bible but that's
what is referring to is the clear rainbow that we see after a rain fall or
some time of a cloudy day where you can see a rainbow in the sky and that's a
literal token from God saying I'll never flood the earth because think about Noah
and his sons after they got off the ark and then all of a sudden starts to rain
again they're like do we need to get on the boat like do we need to build
another boat because I remember what happened last time that was kind of
scary but when it rains what's what's the what's the token that God's not
gonna destroy us all with a flood again that rainbow that comes afterwards and
so it's always a constant sign it's a constant reminder of God's grace of
God's mercy of God's long-suffering but it's also a reminder of the judgment
that came on this earth and you know it's interesting how the Bible explains
every natural phenomenon that we see in the world today even the rainbow itself
right it's not just incidental or coincidental it has a purpose there is
a reason for everything that we see experience today where's the book of
Mormon explain what the rainbow does where does the Quran explain what the
rainbow does you know it's interesting everything we have in the world can be
explained by this book yet false religion doesn't explain any of the
natural phenomenon we have today because they don't understand it now as
proof good revelation chapter 12 just a quick second and I'm gonna show you
something but the Bible makes it clear that God will not destroy the earth with
the flood even if the devil himself tries to kill us with a flood which he
will God will not allow it God will not allow a judgment of a flood now I'm just
gonna kind of jump right in the context but the devil's cast out of heaven he
persecutes mankind he wants to destroy us all and it says in verse number 15
and the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman that he
may cause her to be carried away of the flood and the earth helped the woman and
the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out
of his mouth and the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with
the remnant of her seed which keep the commandments of God and of the testimony
of Jesus Christ now when we think about the future and we think about the coming
Antichrist and all the things that are gonna happen here's one thing that you
can count on before persecution gets to the most extreme that it's gonna happen
there will be a cataclysmic flood type of event that looks like it's gonna
destroy the world that the earth somehow takes in and we recovered from it because
the bio makes it clear the devil is gonna try to destroy everyone with the
flood and everybody's gonna freak out but then somehow the earth is gonna end
up saturating itself with that flood taking in those flood waters and we're
not going to be destroyed at that point it's on at that point the devil is gonna
make war with the remnant of mankind now the remnant of her seed the woman in
Revelation chapter 12 is just mankind because Eve is the mother of all living
and we're all of her seed we're all her you know basically offspring in a sense
ok but the remnant of her seed is a picture to the spiritual remnant those
who are saved and at that point the devil is going to target and hone in on
just the Christians that is when persecution is going to get to its most
extreme state because when we think about second that's when he's chapter
number two and other verses it talks about a great falling away and the man
of sin being revealed but the man of sin being revealed is that the abomination
of desolation and he's going to immediately call for a mark in the left
hand of the right hand now at that point it's right on two but I think you
could probably looking for that flood event before you know if you just if you
kind of study the context and the timing so until we have that cataclysm you know
flood event I'm not looking for that antichrist to declare himself the man
of sin ok but obviously you know the global you know this global warming and
climate change they'll probably be talking about some flood that's going to
come eventually right in Romans chapter one Romans chapter number one and so
there's a lot of things to look forward and the Bible tells us to watch and to
anticipate the coming of Christ and they'll be looking for these things and
anticipating these things but there will be a fear of a flood destroying mankind
but I'm here to tell you it's never going to happen
God will never let the earth flood again and we have that promise of the rainbow
and there's a group of people that love to support that idea of the rainbow the
rainbow warriors as they're called online which is really what I call facts
ok or faggots and it's no coincidence that the symbol that they choose is the
one symbol that God says he's never going to destroy the wickedness of man
on the earth again with the flood it's not a coincidence that the rainbow is
the symbol that fags love to use to basically parade themselves around and
exert their what pride the pride of their lifestyle the pride of their
wickedness the pride of their evil they love to go around and spit and mock and
basically ridicule the fact that God is not going to destroy them with a flood
look that's not a coincidence that's an evidence of the token of their
that's an evidence of the spiritual state that these people are in of how
much they hate God and they spent in the face of God I wish the Bible would tell
me that fags hated God oh wait it does look at verse number 25 the Bible says
who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature
more than the Creator who is blessed forever amen now talking about a group
of people they change the truth of God into a lie they hate God they reject
God what do fags love to do they hate God they reject God they're atheists
they're agnostic they don't believe in the Bible and they worship and serve the
creature what's the creature well that's everything that was created and the
Bible even describes mankind as the creature the creature waits for the
manifestation of the Son of God in his return and what's the ultimate creature
man and even let me go beyond this you know this might offend feminists or
whatever but women are the glory of the man but the man is in God's image so if
you're gonna attack the ultimate image or whatever if you're gonna worship the
ultimate image what is it it's man it's mankind and what do we have a bunch of
fags worshiping and loving themselves and going after themselves what does it
say in verse number 26 for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections
for even their women did change the natural use and to that which is against
nature and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in
their lusts one toward another men with men working that which is
unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was
meat now meat means suitable so it's saying they're receiving a just
recompense recommends would be reward or basically a payment for their error so
it's basically saying they're getting something suitable for the grievous
ness of their sin and what is that that that recompense well verse 28 and even
as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a
reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient so because they hate
God so much because they're worshiping themselves so much because they've gone
against nature and they've given themselves over to their own lusts God
gives them such a reprobate mind that they'll never believe in him that
they'll never believe anything normal in fact all their desires are turned to the
most disgusting vile things on the planet and the Bible describes these
people in verse 29 is being filled with all unrighteousness fornication
wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit
malignity whispers backbiters notice this haters of God why is it that the
group of people that go around you know championing a rainbow flag hate God
because it's a picture of his judgment that he's gonna bring on this earth and
they're trying to mock and spit in the face of God today it's blasphemous to
sit here and have this pride parade where they're going around in the most
filthy abominable ways up and down the street parading a rainbow flag God is
worthy God is righteous and just to give them a reprobate mind for that them
going up and doing these things and look it says in verse 32 who knowing the
judgment of God isn't that a shock that they know the judgment of God and that's
why they champion that rainbow flag and they try to disgrace the rainbow and
turned into something filthy and disgusting why because they know the
judgment of God they're not ignorant they're not innocent they are filthy and
wicked and they had the truth and they turned away from it they rejected it
they hate God and because they hate God that's the reason why they are what they
are and what they do what they do they're so wicked it says not it says
who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are
worthy of death so they even know that they're worthy of death not only do the
same but at pleasure and then they do them not only do these sodomites love
every evil thing imaginable they love it when other people do it too they get so
excited about it and you know the thing that I've noticed and there's all these
people coming out I saw this article it's like the bachelor comes out as gay
and I'm like all you girls you know getting all excited about the bachelor
the most recent bachelor came out as a faggot you know as a disgusting freak
and he's like dating 30 women and he likes dudes talk about the worst
possible show right but the Bible tells us these freaks go both ways anyways so
it's not a shock but I've noticed that what they like to say is they say this
you know whereas I used this is what the guy's testimony was I didn't watch the
video because it was like 30 minutes I literally just clicked and listened to
it like five seconds or something and he just goes you know I used to when I was
driving around in California or somewhere you know near the cliff or
whatever I just thought man if I just go off that cliff you know people be
happier you know I basically you know I could just end it all or whatever and
he's like and I just had all these depressing feelings and hate self hating
self hatred and stuff he's like I no longer feel that way that's why they're
coming out of the closet my friend is because we don't have a society that
makes them out to be the filthy disgusting dogs they are so they feel
comfortable coming out they feel comfortable walking up and down the
street rather than hating themselves and wanting to kill themselves like they
should and you know what we need more Baptist preachers to get up and tell
them how disgusting and filthy they are so they'll be afraid to tell everybody
what they really are they'll be afraid to come out and say I'm a freak I'm a
faggot I'm a disgusting pedophile I'm someone that should put a bullet in my
head you know I'm someone that's going to hell no matter what you know they
don't like to go around and say I hate God and I despise the Lord and I want to
hurt children and I know I'm going to hell and I want to take as many people
with me as possible they don't go around giving that message out because then
people be like whoa let's let's not put this guy in the library and give him
books to read the children let's not let him adopt children our society our
society is letting these people adopt children go into public libraries and
read to them while dressed like a pervert while dressed like a Satanist
reading books about being a faggot Satanist I mean what kind of world do we
live in today a world that's rejecting God a world that hates God you say
where's it come from well let's keep reading our chapter we'll finish says
in verse number 20 and Noah began to be in husband men and he planned a vineyard
and he drank of the wine was drunk and he was uncovered within his tent and ham
the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brethren
without and Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their
shoulders and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father and their
faces went backward and they saw not their father's nakedness Noah woke from
his wine and knew what his younger son had done unto him and he said cursed be
Canaan a servant of servant shall he be unto his brethren and he said blessed be
the Lord God of Shem and Canaan shall be a servant God shall enlarge Japheth and
he shall dwell in the tents of Shem and Canaan shall be a servant and Noah lived
after the flood three hundred and fifty years now a lot of things been packed in
this chapter or in this latter section but I'm just gonna go to a few verses
here but this is your first mention of a few things okay and then I believe in
the principle of first mention in the Bible basically sometimes the Bible
define a word the first time it's mentioned or it'll basically gonna give
a general consensus as how God feels about a particular subject or word the
first time it's mentioned now here's a subject that's mentioned with the first
time wine why this is the first mention of wine not a very good story not off to
a good start when it comes to wine and another thing that's going to be a
subject that's approached or approached or talked about is you know sodomy
basically men being attracted to other men now if you kind of pay attention to
the words that are being mentioned here we'll notice a couple things look at
verse number 21 it says at the end he was uncovered within his tent so this is
saying that Noah is inside his dwelling place he's in a private area but he
becomes uncovered which would mean exposing parts of his body that's not
appropriate be exposed you know he's in his underwear or something even more
revealing and it says in verse 24 I'm sorry let's let's look at verse number
22 and him the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father and told his two
brethren without now what is the word without me it means that they're outside
of the tent what does that mean that hams inside the tent where what Noah is
uncovered where ham has the ability to gaze upon his father's nakedness or look
upon his father's nakedness and so he goes out the tent and then he ends up
what bragging about what he did being prideful about it sounds like the same
story it sounds like the same group of people doing disgusting things in
private and then going out in public and telling everybody about it too now what
is Shem and Japheth do they take a garment laid upon the boat their
shoulders went backward and covered the nakedness of their father and their
faces were backward and they saw not their father's naked so they're
respecting their father they know a horrible disgusting thing perverted
things happen they don't want anything to do with it they didn't want to look
upon it and they don't want to cause any more shame unto their father and so they
perform this action but number 24 it says and Noah woke from his wine and
notice this and knew what his younger son had done into him now here's the
thing the Bible is not going to go into a perverted detail of subjects like this
and praise the Lord he doesn't it's a shame to speak of those things which
have done of them in secret when you read the story there's a lot that's in
the story that he's not going to talk about so you have to compare these
verses to understand what's happening it's it's not something that Noah did
on his own that ham just stumbled upon ham was involved in Noah's drunkenness
ham was involved in Noah's uncovering ham had done something unto Noah and they
say what do you do I don't want to know it's perverted it's gross and you know
what there's no reason even want to know or to think about it you're
perverted if you want to know if you come to me like hey what do you think
they did you're a freak sick you're a sicko okay you're a freak I don't want
to know you don't need to know but the Bible does talk about people like this
go to the back at chapter number two go to back at chapter number two the fact
that he would even want to look upon his father is gross in and of itself but
beyond that I believe the Bible is clearly you know insinuating that more
than just a gaze is what happened because if Noah was incapacitated and
his son happened to just look upon him okay which is what the two other sons
would have been capable of doing they decided not even look how would have
Noah have known what his son did unto him he wouldn't at the bare minimum at
the bare minimum he got his father drunk just so he could look upon his nakedness
at the bare minimum and it could be way worse I don't want to know that's bad
enough it's already bad enough and it's already
sick enough and the Bible condemns it in strong terms look at back in chapter 2
verse 15 whoa under them that giveth his neighbor drink now this is a commandment
by itself and it adds on to this it is a sin to give somebody an alcoholic
beverage period it's a sin to look upon it is what the Bible says and I know
people don't like that kind of preaching today you know I believe the
Bible and you know what whoa under those that give drink under the neighbor whoa
and the people that serve alcohol today whoa and the people that intoxicate
other people whoa and anybody that gives someone a toxic beverage or any kind of
intoxicating substance even drugs whoa into doctors today that are giving drugs
into people and intoxicating them and taking away their sobriety taking away
their reasoning in their mind now it goes on and says this that put us like
bottle to him not only is somebody giving alcoholic but there are alcohol or
some kind of an intoxicating beverage someone that would force it upon someone
that's even worse even worse than just giving to someone that wants it forcing
it upon someone and look kids especially all of us that pretty much went to
public school you know the public school your friends will put pressure on you to
drink alcohol they will put pressure on you to do drugs and do these come on man
aren't you aren't you a man aren't you cool you know take it have a drink with
us yeah why don't you be an adult why don't you be cool and they try to force
you to drink have a drink I remember being in college and I made a horrible
mistake I was around a bunch of people and they were all drinking alcohol and I
kid you not there was not ten seconds that went by of the time I was there
where someone was not trying to force me to drink an alcohol beverage the
entire time I literally had to say no I'm good no I don't want no not
interested no don't want one no just for about 20 minutes and I finally just left
why because you know people will try to put all kinds of pressure on you to send
with them because they don't want to feel bad about someone not sending with
them and so they put this uncomfortable pressure and look even someone that's
not interested in drinking that pressures intense it's intense to put
yourself in a situation where all of your friends and all of your peers are
trying to force you to do something even if you don't want to do it even if it
was something gross you know think about all the stupid things people do they'll
be like hey why don't you take a shot at Tabasco sauce bro and it's like no one
would sit at a table by themselves and be like you know I think I'm just gonna
take a shot at Tabasco sauce but then their buddies like come on do it man
don't be a chicken just do it you know and just doing stupid things like that
peer pressure is foolish though don't succumb to that pressure now look at
this next word and and this means that all the stuff prior was bad and this too
it says and make us him drunken notice this word also so it's saying whoa and
it's someone to get someone to drink and to someone that makes someone drunk
also that's also a well into that person too so it's not just making
someone drunk giving them an alcoholic beverage is wrong it's simple it's
wicked not only that getting them drunks even worse now look at the motivation
though this is where it gets really sick that thumb is look on their nakedness
and in fact I already preached a sermon on stupid what was it called it was like
15 reasons not to drink alcohol or something approximately like that and in
that sermon I saw a statistic and I couldn't even believe it I still have
our time believing it but it's probably true that 90% of people that lose their
virginity it's due to alcohol and notice what the Bible saying that people would
give someone alcohol for what what purpose to look upon their nakedness to
do something unto them and the sickest part about this verse is it's a he
giving to him and let me tell you what sodomites want to get men drunk so they
can do things unto them they want to hurt and harm them and do all manner of
evil unto them and we already read a story just like that that's a great
reason to never drink alcohol ever and you say well I just drink with my
buddies not safe I just read this or I never want that to happen that's the
worst thing that could ever happen in fact that's the number one fear of
people going to prison hey you don't want to go to prison for a really good
reason okay how about don't drink alcohol for the same reason and look
there's all kinds of celebrities and all kinds of horrible wicked people that
have been caught doing this Kevin Spacey he's had multiple men say that they met
him in a bar and they just want to hang out because he's a celebrity he's a
movie star and they just like man I seen your movies you're cool and he's getting
them he's trying to buy them as many drinks as possible and then he forces
himself upon them and does all kinds of evil wicked things that and look they're
not like a sodomite they're just like a normal dude just hanging out with what
they think is a celebrity and then they're getting preyed upon by these
wicked evil predators these sodomite predators and you know what as we
continue reading Genesis it keeps getting worse and worse and worse for
these people and it already started out really bad sick it's incestual this
must've been near Kentucky or something you know I'm just kidding but you need
to avoid alcohol it's a wicked wicked evil sin go to Proverbs chapter 20 I'm
gonna do a few more verses and we're gonna finish let's let's think about
this sermon what's happening we're starting over we have a new beginning
and just instantly what happens corruption what instantly happens evil
what instantly happens horrible sin and the reality is mankind is sinful
mankind is evil and his heart that's why God destroyed it in the first place and
notice you know it's like ham is like sweet he's not gonna flood the earth
well then you just can go all in and wickedness and do evil and we see people
they think that they're gonna get away with it but let me tell you something
there's a day of judgment that will be coming and these people will have to
face judgment and look there's not just physical judgment there is a literal
judgment day where every wicked person will have to be judged by God and it is
a terrifying judgment it is the worst thing that you can imagine having to
stand before God and account for everything you've done now Proverbs
chapter 20 look at verse 1 wine is a mocker strong drink is raging and whose
server is deceived thereby is not wise that's consistent with we've already
read what what benefit did Noah get from wine none and obviously the word wine
could mean an alcoholic beverage or non alcoholic beverage but we understand
from the context here and in Genesis time we're talking about alcoholic
beverage alcohol is always wrong there's no positive benefit you should never
drink it and if you think that you should drink alcohol you're stupid
you're an idiot you're a fool it will only hurt you it will only harm you and
horrific things can happen to you flip the page look at chapter 23 and look at
verse number 35 it's talking about people that drink alcohol it says they
have stricken me shout they'll say and I was not sick they have beaten me and I
felt it not the Bible paints a picture that when you drink alcohol people can
do things to you that you have no control over this has got to be one in
my opinion one of the worst things about drinking alcohol is horrible things that
you would never allow to happen that you would never want to do that you would
not want people to do to you they will do to you when you drink alcohol and
you'll have no idea what you're doing you won't have the right mind you won't
have the right judgment your judgment immediately leaves you as soon as you
start drinking alcohol in fact they've made they've done tests where they had
typists who were typing and they had a control group that was not drinking
alcohol and they basically were typing and then they going back and doing a
second basically assessment and they had a second group and this other group was
drinking thimble size full of beer okay and beer is one of the least
intoxicating beverages that exist I mean when there's like wine is more
intoxicating has more a higher level alcohol content I mean you have all
kinds of liquor and all kinds of other things maybe a wine cooler might be a
little bit less than beer but beer is typically in the range of four to six
percent alcohol content some liquors are go all the way to like a hundred and
eighty proof like everclear and things like that and that's way more alcohol
content ninety percent and upwards of alcohol content and we're talking about
a thimble a thimble full and no one is advocating for drinking less than a
thimble full okay I just want to have one tiny sip of one beer I mean nobody's
drinking that little they're at least having a full beer okay even at that
level there was a major difference in the typist ability to do their typing
why because your judgment goes like that and as soon as your judgment goes now
you're so stupid you don't even well let's have another one you know and
let's have another one let's have another one and pretty much you can't
even speak anymore pretty much you can't even walk anymore pretty much you
don't even know where you are anymore and in fact you can get to a point where
you black out you literally do not remember anything it is a black hole in
your mind it is a black hole and your memory to where things can happen you
have no idea nothing even makes any sense to you anymore and you don't want
to wake up and be like whoa what happened to me why does this hurt on my
body it says thou shalt they have stricken me people will abuse themselves
with mankind through alcohol and it's horrible go to Matthew chapter 12 the
last place I'm going to turn and every wicked person needs to be aware because
you know what they love to think they're gonna get away with this by prancing
around with their stupid little rainbow flag but the Bible says there is a day
of judgment coming and they will have to answer for it and they will have to
answer for for every single thing that they've done look at Matthew 12 verse
35 a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringing forth good things
an evil man out of the evil treasure bringing forth evil things but I say to
you that every idle word that men shall speak they shall give an account there
of in the day of judgment hey they can sit there and wave that stupid rainbow
flag and think that they're got there think that they're not going to get a
punishment they will get a punishment by dying they'll get a punishment by going
to hell but even worse than that they will stand before God at the Great
White Throne judgment and they will have to give an account for every idle word
every word CNN anchors are gonna be there for a while they're gonna have a
lot to give an account for every lie every misinformation campaign every fact
checker is gonna have to stand there and be held accountable by God for all their
fact-checking every government regulation every government policy
everything Biden's ever said at which that's gonna be hard is like true it's
like guys it's like let's get that way I don't know what Biden was saying it was
just idle words but you know what the people that are pulling the strings they
know what they're saying and these wicked sodomites they're gonna have to
give an account now praise God we when we have to give an account you know we
can just claim the blood of Jesus Christ and will be justified by those words
they are going to be condemned by their words they're going to be condemned by
what they said and all the things that they thought every single thing that
they said all the evil that they did it's coming back to them and they are
going to be embarrassed they're going to be shamed and they're going to be
thrown into the lake of fire for all of eternity so don't think they're getting
away with it you come to church to realize they're not getting away with
that and you say how can you say that they're not getting away with that how
could you say that to me they have to account for that you know they're gonna
have to stand judgment for that don't feel like you have to avenge when you
see the vengeance come you'll think like there was nothing I could have done in
comparison to that there's no punishment that I could have given to them and you
don't want to rob the Lord of bringing the vengeance because his vengeance is
way better than yours anyways all right let's close in prayer thank you father
for giving us this chapter of the Bible with a great promise that you'll never
flood us they'll never destroy us with a flood and not just the fact that we have
that covenant but we also we have the gift of eternal life that we know that
we will be able to escape that day of judgment that we will be able to have
the blood of Jesus Christ cover our sins and all the evil that we've done and I
pray that we would realize the sacrifice that Christ went through for us that we
could escape such judgment that we could escape such evil and that we would not
try to avenge ourselves that we not try excuse me we not try to seek to
recompense evil ourselves but just trust in you as a faithful creator and we
thank you for all that you give us in Jesus name we pray amen
all right for our last song we'll go to song 413 stand up stand up for Jesus
