a great chapter here look at verse one again the Bible read and Ben-Hadad the
king of Syria gathered all his hosts together and there were thirty and two
kings with him the horses and chariots and he went up and seized Samaria and
warred against it and he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city and
said unto him thus saith Ben-Hadad thy silver and thy gold is mine thy wise
also my children even the goodliest are mine and the king of Israel answered and
said my lord o king according thy saying I am thine and all that I have the
messengers came again and said thus speaketh Ben-Hadad saying although I
have sent unto thee saying thou shalt deliver me thy silver and thy gold my
wives my children yet I will send my servants under thee tomorrow about this
time and they shall search thine house and the house of thy servants and it
shall be that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes they shall put it in their
hand and take it away then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land
and said mark I pray you and see how this man seeketh mischief free sent unto
me for my wives and for my children and for my silver and my gold and I denied
him not and all the elders and all the people said unto him harken not unto him
nor consent wherefore he said and the messengers have been hey dad tell my
lord the king all that thou didst sin for thy servant at the first I will do
but this thing I may not do and the messengers departed and brought him
word again and Ben-Hadad sent unto him and said the gods do so unto me and more
also if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people
that follow me verse 11 and the king of Israel answered and said tell him let
not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off
now what's happening in this story well Ben-Hadad he's an enemy to the king of
Israel he comes unto Ahab and he asks he says hey I'm gonna well he doesn't
really ask he just makes a declaration he just says hey your gold your silver
your wives your children mine now what man is this gonna be like sure no
problem what kind of a weak person just hand that over you know Ahab must not
like his wife which if it's Jezebel I get it all right but he was just like
sure take her he's like you can have her right but then when he says hey I'm
gonna take everything that I like just anything that I look at I'm just gonna
take that too somehow that crossed the line with Ahab well Ahab tells him no
and Ben-Hadad says well you don't even know how many people are coming with me
I mean if you just looked at how much sand is on the seashore you know you
can't even count how many people are with me how many armies are gathered
together and to get an idea of the number we don't really know but it
tells us later in verse 29 that they slew a hundred thousand men in one day
so we can guess this is hundreds of thousands of men in army and when we see
who's with Ahab he only has like 7,000 men so they're vastly outnumbered it's
something that would be very extreme but I like what Ahab says and what Ahab says
is very interesting he says in verse number 11 let not him that girdeth on his
harness boast himself as he that putteth it off what does that phrase mean now
it's a great phrase okay but essentially the harness is something
that you put on for battle okay it's some kind of an instrument or some kind
of a piece of equipment you know a girdle is usually around the loins I
played roller hockey for a long time and you have a girdle and that girdle is
something you kind of put on your loin it kind of protects your leg areas and
just the upper portion of your groin area so a girdle is typically something
gonna be similar and girding is putting on his harness so it's probably going
around that portion of his body it could be some kind of instrument used for his
horse or his chariot or something like that but he's saying look you haven't
even put your armor on and you're already bragging that you won the war
he's saying you know when you should brag when you've taken it off because
you've already won the war that's when you should go ahead and start bragging
so it's basically counting your chickens before they hatch okay but the
title of the sermon this evening coming from this phrase here is too big for
your britches too big for your britches now the word britches is not a word
found in your Bible but the word breeches is found in your Bible several
different times the Levites were commanded to wear linen breeches
breeches are like pants or your shorts okay now what does it mean when someone
says you're too big for your britches okay well I got an article online or
just some kind of a definition from a dictionary online that phrase means that
you're conceited yourself important it says it gives an example it says ever
the guy's name's ever sorry he's not here but you know this has ever since he
won that tournament he's gotten too big for his britches there's it says
basically so he's saying what after he won he thinks he's hot stuff he thinks
he's the best ever it says there's no talking to Jill anymore she's too big
for her boots so I guess they use it as a synonym for boots it says this
metaphoric idiom alludes to becoming so swollen with conceit that one's pants or
boots no longer fit so basically you just think you're so great and you just
get so puffed up you can't even put your pants on anymore okay and that's
basically what happens with Ben Haydad doesn't it Ben Haydad thinks he's such
hot stuff he's there to just take them over you don't even understand how big
and bad we are you better just give me your stuff already you have isn't that
his attitude basically but he's too big for his britches he's making he's
writing checks that he can't cash okay what does that mean you don't have the
money in the bank to cover the check that you're writing look at verse number
19 says so these young men are the princes of the provinces came out of the
city an army which followed them and they slew everyone as man the Syrians
fled and Israel pursued them and been a dad the king of Assyria skate on a horse
with the horsemen so they go to battle Aab only has 7,000 men God uses him as
his leader and they defeat this great host this great army they end up fleeing
then later in the story they come back a year later with the exact size army and
they get wiped out and destroyed again it says in verse 29 and they pitched one
over against the other seven days and so it was that in the seventh day the
battle was joined and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred
thousand footmen in one day so just in one day they're slaughtering a hundred
thousand footmen so they're like 12 people 12 guys apiece basically I mean
they're just slaying and slaying and slaying they're killing these guys like
clockwork now what's the cattle so that what's the you know idea of the story
well when you defy God you're gonna lose I mean when you go against the Lord when
you think you're too big for your britches and you go against God you
will be destroyed we actually see this a very common theme constantly throughout
the Bible think about Pharaoh king of Egypt he goes against the Lord utterly
destroyed he's too big for his britches he's like who is the Lord that I should
obey him he's the he's the god of the whole heaven and earth he's the one
that's gonna put you in your place we could think about Sennacherib king of
Israel of Assyria as well Sennacherib comes and he's like you know where is
the kings of Hamath and Sepharvayim and you know don't trust in the Lord don't
let Hezekiah deceive you to trust in the Lord that you'll be delivered of me he
becomes too big for his breeches too and he dies he gets destroyed you know we
could think of the king of Babylon thinking how great and wonderful he gets
so swollen he becomes a like a bird dog or something you know I don't know what
the thing is he's just in the grass you know he's got feather type claws and
like he grows weird hair and he's just like eating grass like a cow and he's
just he's out of his mind why because you don't defy God when you start
becoming too big for your britches God will knock you down God will take you
down a notch how about the Pharisees go to Acts chapter number five go to Acts
chapter number five what about Goliath wasn't Goliath too big for his britches
I mean this guy's coming the Bible says when David was talking with him David
says thy servant slew both the lion and the bear and this uncircumcised
Philistine shall be as one of them seeing yet defied the armies of the
living God because Goliath went against God because he got too big for his
britches you know what God took him out with a little shepherd boy with just a
little stone I mean just wiped him out who did God take out been hey dad with
just 7,000 men just a small little tiny army it talked about him being like two
little flocks of sheep amongst a huge herd it was just like nothing basically
why because whenever you start getting swollen God's gonna pop that balloon
God's just gonna like you know prick you and you're gonna explode on yourself how
about the Pharisees they were too big for their britches they thought they
were hot stuff they thought they knew and understood everything about the Word
of God yet they understood nothing and God exposed that look at Acts chapter 5
verse 37 after this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of taxing and drew
way much people after him he also perished and all even as many as obeyed
him were dispersed and now I say unto you refrain from these men and let them
alone for if this council or work be of men it will come to naught but if it be
of God he cannot overthrow it lest happily he be found even to fight
against God so he's warning them saying look you're rising up against these men
but if these men be of God you're gonna be destroyed if you start defying God
you're gonna be the one that's taken out now think about the Pharisees they said
to the to the people they're like have any of the rulers believed on him have
any of the rulers of the Pharisees believed on him you know we're not the
ones believe they were too big for the britches they thought they were
over-important they were better than all the other people well I know you guys
believe him but y'all are just laymen you know have any of the really important
Pharisees believed in Jesus it's like you guys are of the devil and then they
get exposed and they end up fighting against God himself what about the
Antichrist go if you would to Revelation chapter 19 for a moment I'll read for
you in Psalms 81 the Bible says the haters of the Lord should have submitted
themselves unto him but their time should have endured forever he should
have fed them also with the finest of the wheat and with honey of the rock
should I have satisfied thee so the haters of the Lord in Psalms 81 is a
picture of the Jews that rejected God they didn't want to harken unto him and
they end up being the haters of the Lord whereas they should have just submitted
they should have just humbled themselves accepted the Lord trusted in the Lord
gotten saved and then he's saying if you had done that you would have lasted
forever but now you're gonna be destroyed with utter destruction now the
end of the Bible the end of the world is gonna have the exact same and as we saw
with Ben Hadeb somebody who gets too big for their britches who's that the
Antichrist the devil himself gets too big for his britches he thinks he can
fight against God look at Revelation 19 verse 19 and I saw the beast and the
kings of the earth and the air armies gathered together to make war against
him that sat on the throne and against his army and the Beast was taken with
him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the Beast and them that worship his
image these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone so
they get a ticket straight into the lake of fire they don't even get to the first
death they go straight to the second they don't go to hell there's no pass
and go it's just straight to the lake of fire alive now notice that they were
instantly destroyed they thought that they could fight against God himself
against the Lord how could someone do that because they get too big for the
britches they start thinking that they're better than they really are
they're stronger than they really are they're smarter than they really are
this is a dangerous attitude okay go go to first Peter chapter number five now
I'm quickly going through and showing you some examples of how the ungodly
the unrighteous the wicked have this attitude but let me make it clear to you
today that even Christians can get this attitude where they get too big for
their britches they start having too much self-importance they think too
highly of themselves and this is a very dangerous attitude and you can still get
a very dangerous physical destruction you're in danger when you get too big
for your britches period look at first Peter chapter 5 verse 5 likewise younger
submit yourselves into the elder yay all of you be subject one to another and be
clothed with humility for God resisted the proud and give it grace to the
humble so notice God will resist the proud this is not a caveat just for the
unsaved this is everyone and this is specifically written to the saved first
Peter chapter number five okay and he's talking to who I mean everybody here
he's saying all of you be subject one to another well he left me out because I'm
you know I'm pretty important I'm pretty special no every single person's supposed
to be subject every single person's supposed to be humble go to James
chapter 4 James chapter number 4 what does it mean to be humble well if you're
truly humble then you're not gonna sit here and compare yourself with other
people you're not going to think well I deserve this more than that person or
vice versa you know you're gonna steam other better than yourself you're gonna
think more highly of other people and truly you know the unsaved don't have
this toward God at all they should humble themselves and accept God's free
gift realizes power realizes might realize salvation's only through the
Lord Jesus Christ it has nothing to do with them yet they want to resist God
they want to resist his free gift of salvation but even for a Christian who's
accepted God's gift sometimes we might compare ourselves amongst our brethren
and really what comes into play is the sin of envy look what it says in James
chapter 4 verse 5 do you think that the scripture saith in vain the spirit that
dwelleth in us lusteth to envy but he giveth more grace wherefore he saith God
resisteth the proud but giveth grace unto the humble if there's two guys and
they're competing for the same job and one gets it over the other typically the
one will think well I was better than him I deserve it but really it's coming
from a place of envy because if the other person is truly better than you in
your eyes and they get it you won't care about great I'm glad that they got that
because they're truly better than me you know you're steaming someone better than
yourself and I'm not saying you're denying reality I'm saying objectively
if you can look at that situation and say hey this guy deserves it more than
me because it's not about the position it's not about the goods it's about
someone being worthy of getting that title worthy of getting that job and if
that person gets that job and they're worthy you shouldn't go against them you
shouldn't have this prideful envious type attitude okay go if you would to
Proverbs 16 for a moment Proverbs 16 but if you're too big for your britches
you deserve everything don't you everything should be yours you should be
in charge of everything you get everything you're so smart and this is
a very dangerous attitude that we can get we want to be like saw at the
beginning of his ministry where he was little in his own sight yet he stood
ahead or shoulders and head above the people I mean someone that has the
ability to be prideful of someone that's bigger than everyone I mean he's
stronger than everyone he has all this might yet he was little in his own sight
when they were calling for the king he hid himself among the stuff he's hiding
he's like who am I you know I'm of the smallest tribe you know who am I to be
the king who's why would you pick me it's not like of course I mean look how
big I am have you seen I'll tell him I mean obviously you pick the big guy it's
me right no he was little in his own sight humble in his own sight and he
wasn't coveting a position or some kind of goods that weren't his no he was he
was good at the beginning and then he went sour afterwards when he started
getting too big for his britches and a lot of people do this now the Bible says
in Proverbs 27 I was read for you wrath is cruel and anger is outrageous but who
is able to stand before envy envy is a very dangerous sin it can destroy people
look at Proverbs 16 verse 18 pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit
before a fall when you think too highly of yourself you're in danger of
destruction you're in danger of falling okay now go if you would to first Timothy
chapter number two for a moment we think about the unsaved what do they do when
it comes to envy well they're envious of the fact that God is worthy of praise
that God has the ultimate respect so what they do is they try to make
themselves the God so that they can steal that praise think of how the
atheist the Richard Dawkins how they try to elevate man to he's the God and then
ultimately of mankind being God who do they elevate above that all the
scientists all the people that came up with the theories of evolution and
atheism so they ultimately try to deify themselves and give themselves all the
honor and the praise and they want people to worship them for their brain
they want people to worship them for their ideas and worship them for all the
things that they've done whereas all that worship and honor and praise is
supposed to go to God you know even if mankind does something amazing even if
we go to space even if we build the space stations even if we have
incredible technology nanotechnology and computers and phones and
spacecrafts and airplanes just everything that we have today that
should just be a testament to how great God is that he can give us the ability
to make those things that we have the power and the might and the ability to
create such wonderful things that should just go to give more glory and honor to
God but they try to steal that they're envious of God getting that praise
aren't they they're envious of his worship so they want to be worshipped
people want to be worshipped today they're called celebrities they're
called the musicians they have the fathead poster of themselves that they
want to sell you they changed you know Chad Ocho Cinco they changed their name
to a number of their Jersey just so they can be worshipped and they can be
praised you know they get all kinds of different things done in their name you
can buy a billboard you can buy all this stuff in their name and they promote
themselves and it's just all about the worship aspect of it musicians they love
for people to come and basically worship them while they sing songs don't they
they want to steal his honor his praise and and really when we look at it it's a
lot this problem is really driven by envy this pride and this arrogance
because they want to steal that from God but this can even happen you know with
Christians but before I get there you know this level of self-importance and
being you know thinking more highly than yourself I really think of our government
I mean these people think they're very important very special and you know the
one of the things that makes me really sick that makes me really frustrated is
women governors and if anything has taught me it recently there's been so
many women governors I actually looked it up there's a women governor in
Alabama like currently Iowa Kansas Maine Michigan New Mexico Oregon Rhode Island
and South Dakota you know the Bible says but I suffer not a woman to teach nor
usurp authority over the man but to be in silence what kind of man has his wife
as the governor so what does your wife do oh yeah she's the governor what do
you do you know I wash the dishes I say yes ma'am
what kind of weak dude you know has his wife ruling the state I mean this is
weird go to second kingship number 11 let's see a woman who got too big for
boots or I say britches these days right Hillary Clinton's too big for britches
she needs to trade her britches for a dress and grow her hair out and stand on
trial for all the wickedness that she's done second Kings chapter number 11
here's a woman that got too big for britches verse 1 and when Athaliah the
mother of a Isaiah saw that her son was dead she arose and destroyed all the
royal but Jehoshua the daughter of King Joram sister of a Isaiah took Joash the
son of a Isaiah and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain they
hid him even em in his nurse in the bedchamber from Athaliah so that he was
not slain and he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years and Athaliah
did reign over the land so obviously this is post birth but basically she
just commits abortion genocide on her whole family so that she can be a
leader it's not what a lot of women do today they have to murder their own
children consistently so they can help positions of authority so they can go
out and get a job so they can go out and have high positions of authority so they
just murder their family there's no new thing under the Sun Athaliah kills all
the men so that she can rule so that she can be in charge and you know what
that's a shame when women are in charge you know the Bible says in Isaiah I'm
not gonna be turned there keep your finger because we're gonna keep looking
Isaiah 3 verse 12 as for my people children are their oppressors and women
rule over them all my people they which lead the cause thee to err and destroy
the way of my paths he says when children are in charge they're
oppressing you when women are in charge they're causing you to err and they're
causing to destroy all the way of your paths they're destroying everything
there's a complete destruction and look women governors in this country are
destroying America they're oppressing America they're ruining America they
need to step down and let a man get up and take charge of their state they are
not born the same way I don't care what you think a man's different than a woman
and there's a reason why God wants men to be in charge now you say why well
because men can actually enforce the laws that they create imagine I mean is
there really really gonna think that a woman army is gonna go and start taking
over the world what nation to take over France I mean that might work okay I
don't know I mean aside from France and Canada I mean you really think women are
gonna go in and take over other countries you really think if we had an
all-woman police force they might not be killing anybody because they'll be
slaughtered I mean you really think those thugs are gonna be like yes ma'am
I'm so sorry I'm not gonna do that again they're gonna tear them up and you know
what the only defense a woman we even have would be lethal force a gun if you
really want to have less people being shot don't have women in the police force
because that's pretty much their only defense against any kind of you know
person attacking them some grown man it's ridiculous you know when they talk
about women's suffrage women's rights you know people would combat they say
look women can't enforce the laws they create it's just a true statement it's
just facts okay they need a man to go there and protect them you know what
athlete didn't have a man to protect her so what happens look first end and the
captain's over hundreds of the priests give King David Spears and shields that
were in the temple Lord and the guard stood every man with his weapons in his
hand round about the king so this is the young boy that grew up he's seven
years old says him from the right corner of the temple the left corner of the
temple along by the altar in the temple he brought forth the king's son and put
the crown upon him and gave him testimony and they made him king and
anointed him and they clapped their hands and said God save the king and
without a lie heard the noise of the guard and all the people she came to the
people into the temple Lord and when she looked behold the king stood by a pillar
and as the manner was and the princes and the trumpeters by the king and all
the people land rejoiced and blew with trumpets and at the lyre in her clothes
and cried treason treason but Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the
hundreds the officers of the host and said unto them have her forth without
the ranges and him that follow with her kill with the sword for the priest has
said let her not be slain in the house of the Lord so what happens well she
cries about it and then she gets killed they just take over why because she's
not capable of ruling by her own might by her own strength and women are
horrible leaders she killed her family the king the kingdom of Judah went to
serving you know the devil basically during her reign they were not
worshipping the Lord there was all these people worshiping bail at this time and
they had to get rid of them out of the land now we take this in a practical
example we could think of like the mayor of Seattle the mayor of Seattle is
Jenny Durkin now Seattle if you haven't heard about it by now you probably have
parts of downtown have been taken over by a group of just vigilante protesters
and they renamed it called Chaz so now there's a new nation in the United
States called Chaz the Capitol Hill autonomous zone where all these
protesters they took over like a six block radius and then in part of this
area is a police station they took over the police precinct because the mayor's
told the police force to retreat what person does that a woman well we don't
want the officers to get hurt what about the 500 residents that live in that area
imagine living in Chaz I don't want to live in Chaz a bunch of renegade you
know atheists antifa LGBT you know Black Lives Matter just freaks roaming with
and you know it's an open carry state so they're walking around with you know ARs
and all kinds of ammunition and weaponry even though they stand against you know
guns whatever I don't know how that works
guess who the chief of police is Carmen best a woman so how are these people in
charge look they're destroying their state they're destroying their city you
know a man needs to stand up somewhere in Seattle and just crush them and say
you bunch of losing lie you know rioting looters need to get squashed like the
bugs you are you know you need a real man to stand up and take over and crush
that rebellion why because this Chaz has gotten too big for its riches they think
they're so important and you know if you don't crush that rebellious period you
know you're gonna cause more of it they're gonna try and create that
everywhere else they're gonna try and do it bigger you know whenever your
teenager mouths off to you if you don't fix it it's gonna get worse it doesn't
get better you need to crush rebellion when you see it whenever you see it
popping up its ugly head you just destroy it right away and you know what
maybe mom is not ready to squash that rebellion but dad needs to squash that
rebellion and say you better not mouth off to your mom again or you won't have
a mouth to do it I mean whenever you see that rebellion coming up I mean you need
to just get rid of it when you get too big for your britches you know another
group that's too big for the britches is that black Hebrew Israelites group
talk about people that think they're better than everyone else I mean these
people are the greatest people on the planet according to them no one's better
than them they're the chosen seed they're the chosen race everybody else
is just you know pond scum in their eyes it's no different than the Jews all the
racist groups right they think they're better than them and look racism is an
attitude that comes from being too big for your britches thinking you're better
than other people other people are lower than you or worse than you this is an
ungodly attitude and it can even infect churches it can infect ministries
pastors can get infected with this can't they they get too big for their britches
and you know what they want they want to be worshiped
pastors want to get worship pastors want to get praise and it's a wicked attitude
pastors start thinking that they're better than the people the wicked
attitude is a bad attitude now go if you would to John chapter number seven I
kind of quoted this for you but I want to read a few verses here and it's sick
me when pastors start getting too big for their britches look being a pastor
is one of a great titles a great responsibility it's a wonderful position
but let me make it clear a pastor is no better than any other person the little
baby in here is of equal importance as the pastor there is no one that's above
another person and value or inequality now when it comes to who's gonna make
decisions around here yeah there's an authority structure but that doesn't
change value of importance just like in a marriage the husband should be the one
making the rules but that doesn't make it more important than the wife that
doesn't make it more important than the children there are equal importance but
someone has to be in charge someone has to make some rules around here John
chapter number seven the Pharisees thought they were better than the people
look at what says in verse 45 then came the officers the chief priests and
Pharisees and they said unto them why have you not brought him the officers
answered never a man spake like this man then answered them the Pharisees are he
also deceived have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him but
this people who knoweth not the law are cursed so notice what are they saying
well even if everybody believes in him have any of the rulers though have any
of the Pharisees why because their opinions better than theirs their
opinion has more merit doesn't it according to them they're saying unless
we believe in him you can't do it that's a bad doctrine hey if everybody in this
room believes something and I'm I'm kind of out to lunch I mean I need to change
I'm not more important than everybody else now obviously you could have a
multiplicity of scenarios here but hey when everyone in your church thinks that
you're wrong that should be a good conclusion that you might be wrong
because if you cannot garner a bunch of sheep to the water of God's Word that
sounds like you might not be drawing them to God's Word you might be leading
them to a different place and they're like I want to drink from the water I'm
not interested in drinking from the gutter I'm not interested in drinking
the pond scum over here look if we're all saved in this room and I get up and
show everybody clearly what the Bible says you know in the Spirit of God some
people should believe it right I mean if the whole church is just like no I mean
if I get up and start preaching pre-trib I don't care how good I preach it I
doubt anybody to be convinced if I get up and start saying the NIV is the Word
of God I you know without error I don't think I'm gonna convince a single person
in this room okay if I start teaching you know the oneness I really hope no
one would fall for that if I start teaching flat earth I mean please run
away screaming okay don't even try to convince me on that one but if I get up
and I start showing you spiritual truths in the Bible you should believe that and
look if all the people believe in Jesus the rulers should say maybe we're
missing something not the other way around it's not like they have some
greater importance or they're so much better go if you would to Romans chapter
16 Romans chapter 16 what what is this issue well they're too big for their
britches they think that they're better than they really are and the Bible gives
us some verses on this you know people that are desiring to be teachers of the
law understanding neither what they say nor where have they affirm there's some
people they just want to teach even though they don't know anything even
though they don't understand anything and you know the worst person to teach
something someone that doesn't understand if you say hey I don't
understand this but I'm gonna teach it to you you already failed you're already
wrong the only person that you get up and teach something is someone that
already knows something hey I knocked on your door do you want to know how to go
to heaven yeah why don't understand it but can I show you how I don't know how
to get there myself maybe we can just stumble across the Bible and see if it
says something you know that's a bad idea you want to show you want someone
to say you know what I do know is how many people do I heard it today well no
one could know you're like you're right no one can I don't even know I don't
even understand can I just show you some verses anyways let's just go on our way
no you know the Bible says you can know I actually do know let me show you what
I do already know that I'm safe look at sec well I get I'm gonna read this verse
because I didn't have you turn there but second Corinthians 11 verse 6 says but
though I be rude in speech yet not in knowledge but we have been thoroughly
made manifest among you in all things the Apostle Paul said that he was rude
in speech and you can find this in a lot of different places but he wasn't in
knowledge meaning what the way he articulated himself may not have been
the most eloquent okay what does what does what the word rude mean well the
root the word rude in your Bibles found once okay so we kind of have to just
gain from the context or just generally speaking but if you look up rude in a
dictionary it says not skilled or practiced raw rough not properly
developed you know sometimes I would say my preaching is a little rude
because you know I didn't necessarily articulate I didn't think of every word
how I was gonna place it before I got up and preached you know but I knew what I
was talking about I knew the concepts I'm trying to deliver so sometimes it
doesn't always come out the most eloquent sometimes a little just raw and
blunt okay people can't handle that but at the end of the day the Apostle Paul
saying even though I could be rude a little bit in my speech maybe even a
little impolite little crass for you like the word bastard sorry you know
whore faggot okay a little rude you know I'm not knowledge right that's what he's
saying but what are the wicked like what are the evil people like we're Roman 16
verse 18 for they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own
belly and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple what's the word fair mean it's not saying it's equitable it's saying
that it's beautiful it's saying that it's eloquent that it sounds so good you
know you look at these false prophets they preach once in a blue moon for 15
minutes guess what they already know everything they're gonna say they have
every word picked out exactly how they're gonna place it they know exactly
how they're gonna word it they've thought about it and they've kind of
measured it up and they decided how could I word this so as to offend no one
how can I word this so as to teach nothing so can I how can I word this so
as it has no meaning you know basically that's what they come across with and
they just build it so eloquently and it's so beautiful and it's good work
they picked out all the good words we can't use faggot that'll offend somebody
let's just say you know someone who's not nice just a good word you know
Maleficent a Maleficent person even though nobody knows what that means it's
still pretty bad okay it's a good word though we make movies about these people
and how wonderful they are well go if you would go to second Peter I'll get
there in a minute so let me give you some real practice
because I'm building a little bit of a foundation here I want to get in some
application who are people that love to have these fair speeches and deceiving
the hearts of the simple yet they don't understand what the heck they're talking
about people like Peter Ruckman Peter like people like Sam get people like
Gail Ripplinger now if you don't know anything about Sam gift Sam gift is a
disciple of Peter Ruckman you say who's Peter Ruckman Peter Ruckman preached in
Pensacola Florida he was a pretty prominent independent fundamental
Baptist preacher there he had a big church he created Pensacola Christian
College I think or was very instrumental in this Christian College and he has
lots of different disciples that he sent out now Peter Ruckman he's a very you
know he's a false teacher at the best situation I mean I don't even think the
guy say okay and I'm gonna give you some reasons why but at the end of the day
his fruit is awful his fruit is people like Sam Gipp who says that Jesus Christ
is not as Messiah people like Jean Kim who is just like the craziest person
you've ever seen in the planet okay people like Andrew sleuter look up to
Peter Ruckman as being so great so wonderful sometimes he'll be alluded to
as the preacher they'll just say the preacher and they're referring to Peter
Ruckman so you ever hear that term or that phrase that's what they're
referring to but he's planted all kinds of different bad churches and bad seeds
and wicked people and the thing about Sam Gipp is Sam Gipp is a traveling
evangelist so he just goes around to different churches in the United States
different independent fundamental Baptist churches and guess what he does
he preaches the same sermon he just goes and preaches the same sermon he'll go to
20 churches and preach the same sermon to all 20 churches so you know what it's
this fair speech that he's been working on he knows exactly what he says the
same jokes the same stupid nonsense the same garbage he has it perfectly timed
how he's gonna deny that Jesus is Messiah and a whole bunch of other filth
and nonsense he's not filled with the spirit he doesn't have any real
knowledge he just put together this little eloquent sermon of his this
little fair speech of his that he's gonna bring forth even though it's
chock-full of lies okay now Peter Ruckman he preached consistently so he
has a lot more false doctrine that he's preached on okay and Gail Ripplinger all
these people are what you'd call a King James onius but here's the thing they've
done a lot of damage to the King James only position because they use bad
arguments and support of our King James Bible and look I believe the King James
Bible is God's Word without error in the English language we don't need anything
different anything changed and in fact I believe that God the words that were
chosen for the King James Bible is exactly how God wanted it I mean I don't
I don't have any I don't think that there's anything we need to change update
do I don't want to touch it period now there's sometimes people ask the
question what happened if the English language evolved to the point where you
could no longer understand the King James Bible well I would say that we
need a new translation but here's the thing I wouldn't change the King James
that's no different than Spanish if it changes into a new language that you
can't understand that's a new language therefore we need to create a Bible in
that language that's equal to the King James but I'm never going to change the
King James because if you speak English you can understand this book if it turns
into some weird language in the future that's no longer English then we need it
in that language just like the King James Bible is formed you know English
didn't exist always you realize that it came to be and you know what old English
is not this language even though might go by the same name it you wouldn't
understand any of it it's just complete this nonsense to you I wouldn't say if
we had a Bible in old English we need to change it we just need a completely new
one that matches it obviously that's equivalent to it but I think God speaks
every language and I'm gonna prove that in a minute I'm gonna go to that but
first I want to just give you a little sample of what someone like Peter
Ruckman's like okay now Peter Ruckman is someone who put over importance on
something he was too big for his britches on being a man now you think
that that's like something you couldn't dive off the cliff like thinking that
men are important it's not a clip that you could dive off but he did okay let
me give you a quote from his book he said this about men and you know it's
kind of just going straight into the quote so it says this means that every
saved woman and the body of Christ is in dwelt by a man at least as far as carnal
designations are concerned someday the saved woman will be fashioned like unto
his glorious body now I'm gonna give more quotes so you understand exactly
what he means by this because it's weird he says this would mean that every saved
woman in the body of Christ will eventually become a 33 and 1 half year
old sinless male she would be a perfect replica of the Lord Jesus Christ he
literally if this is in print this is a book that he wrote in print that he
wrote and he's preached on it I've seen clips where he says this I mean he
literally believes when the Bible says that we would conform to the image of
his son he twists that and says that all of us are gonna be a 33 year old exact
replica of Jesus Christ in heaven that is blasphemous that is wicked it's
stupid it's nonsense are we gonna have the holes in our hand to what kind of
blasphemy is that what kind of wickedness and look the Bible says as we
took the image of the earthly so shall we take the image of the heavenly it's
in 1st Corinthians chapter 15 Peter Ruckman which is dead probably in hell
all right I don't know that's my guess but at the end of the day I don't look
like Adam and I know that you don't because we don't look the same we don't
all look like Adam but we do in comparison to a bear we do in comparison
to a panda to a giraffe to a tortoise in the same way that we took the image of
Adam as being man is the same way we're gonna put on glorified flesh like the
Lord Jesus Christ to say that we're all gonna be a man in heaven is a bizarre
weird doctrine but just wait it gets worse okay so up in heaven ladies you're
gonna be this is a quote I'm quoting from his book so up in heaven ladies
you're gonna be a 33 and 1 half year old male just like your Savior if that
seems odd or peculiar or distasteful to you Christian ladies just remember that
you have a man living inside of you and that your destiny as a child of God as
we conform to that man's image now this is where it gets really weird this is
another quote in this condition the Christian throughout all eternity is in
a 33 year old male sinless body just like Jesus Christ and he enjoys
fellowship with God in the Saints forever he meaning us is called out on
trips and these trips take him to Mars Jupiter Venus Saturn Uranus etc
transporting couples into gardens placing them down and saying be fruitful
and multiply and replenish the earth
this is the weirdest satanic nonsense I've ever heard he just said everybody
in heaven's a male and he's gonna take couples into other planets that are
gonna procreate I mean if you don't run away screaming from his preaching after
that I don't know what'll take you there this man is sick this man is perverted
and disgusting who could sit there and listen this type of preach this is not
the Bible this is carnal nonsense this is Phil he's taking the Bible to
unbiblical extremes you know and then some people look at it well I just
believe the Bible by faith is that we can pour in the image of Sun no that's a
dumb idea that can be proven wrong with the scriptures okay you can't you want
you want to take these things the unbiblical extremes you know the Bible
warns in 2nd Peter chapter 3 where I do turn like verse 16 as and also in all as
the epistles speaking in them of these things in which are some things hard to
be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable rest as they do
also the other scriptures under their own destruction so notice what the
Bible says the Bible says there's some people they twist the scriptures they
rest the scriptures to their own destruction and what was their problem
they didn't have enough faith what does it say it says they were unlearned you
know that means it was they were stupid they were an idiot they were a moron and
that's why they rested the scriptures it doesn't say well they just didn't have
enough faith no it says that they were stupid and that's why they twisted the
scriptures and look stupid people get up all the time and they say dumb things
about the Bible and look you can't hide behind a cloak of faith yeah faith is
the cornerstone of our religion here cornerstones the most necessary
component to getting saved amen praise the Lord on that but guess what if
you're stupid you're gonna have a hard time understand the Bible yeah and God
wants you to use wisdom get wisdom to gain from his knowledge God's not
stupid so why would I ever look at the Bible and say hey this stupid thing I
believe by faith no everything the Bible is wise everything the Bible is true
everything the Bible is logical everything the Bible makes sense this
world is stupid this world is nonsense this world makes no sense go try and
argue with a Mormon because guess what that everything they believe is stupid
but then they'll just say what I believe it by faith you can't appeal the logic
with them you can't appeal the facts with the Jehovah's Witness with the
Muslim with the Mormon look Christianity is a different religion
yeah it's not one where we hide behind a shield of faith when proven how we're
stupid and proven how truth and reality are different than what we believe no we
believe the truth we believe reality okay let me give you another quote from
the sick disgusting pervert he says I did not teach that abortion is murder
direct quote although I grant that a fundamentalist can teach that if he
wants I don't teach it for two reasons in the first place the clear scriptures
in Genesis 2 as well as in Job 30 31 and Ezekiel 37 teach that there is no life
in the human sense until there is breath he's the clear the clear scriptures okay
this guy is satanic he's wicked he didn't even say that abortion is murder
here's another one of his quotes at this point he's talking about conception and
a baby in the womb he says he's an embryo beginning to turn into a fetus
he likes to use those words in the womb he was not referred to as a person he's
saying that a baby in a womb is not a person it's just a fetus he says he is
merely the seed of God no the seed is in the man as long as Christ's body was
being formed in the womb he was not referred to as a person go to go to Luke
chapter number one okay says it was not until he was born that he was called the
Son of God hence the future tense shall be well that's funny he uses Luke 135
just like Tyler Baker and twist it what's wrong with Florida man it's like
Florida man doesn't believe the Bible should be the title of the next news
article Florida man twist the Bible Luke chapter 1 verse 41 look at this and it
came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary the babe leaped
in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost how did it leap let
me tell you it's alive he said I don't know passage let's keep reading verse 42
and she spake out a loud voice and said blessed art thou among women and blesses
the fruit of thy womb and whence is this to me that my that the mother of my
Lord should come to me for lo as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears the babe leap in my womb for joy now how can something that's not
alive have joy you wicked satanic evil perverted false teacher why would I
want to listen to anything else this guy has to say he's too big for his britches
and he truly was he touted himself as the greatest King James only is nobody
wants to debate him probably cuz you're sick pervert I don't want to be in the
same room as you and hear anything that comes out of your mouth a guy that
advocates for abortion a guy that talks about women becoming men and all kinds
of weird nonsense going on in the afterlife I mean this guy is wicked I
can see why his wife dropped out of the car while I was moving he says that his
wife he had women jump out of the car at 50 miles per hour he was divorced
multiple times still pastored why because he's too big for his britches oh
it's so important for me to be a pastor all he did is sit there and just draw
stupid pictures and yeah he was a good artist but that was about the only thing
good about him teaching wicked doctrine he's too lazy to look at the Bible says
to just draw pictures all day out of his wicked imagination now I see this
attitude in other in other situations not just related to Peter Ruckman but
sometimes I see husbands they get this idea of being too hot too big for the
britches about being a man and about a husband being in control but you know
you sound like you sound like the Muslims but they don't even want their
wives to look up I don't have to look up at them the women are considered dirt and
Islam the women have to cover their entire body they can't speak unless
spoken to they have to sit on the different side of the church oh their
property and not people look just because your wife has to be subject to
you does not make her less important she's of equal importance don't get too
big for your britches well I'm the man I'm so much more important you're not
any more important and if you think that you have problems that's scary
you know the Bible says there's neither June or Greek there's neither bond nor
free there's neither male nor female you're all one in Christ Jesus go to
second Samuel chapter 2
I have one more main point that I want to get to
but there was a guy that got too big for his britches name was as a hell look what
it says in verse 17 and there was a very sore battle that day and after was
beaten in the men of Israel before the servants of David and there were three
sons of Zayariah there Joab and Abishai and as a hell and as hell was like a
foot as a wild row and as a purse pursued after Abner and in going a turn
not at the right end or the left from falling Abner then Abner looked behind
him and said art thou as hell and he answered I am and Abner said to him turn
the aside of thy right hand with thy left and lay thee hold on one of the
young men and take thee his armor but as hell would not turn aside from following
him and Abner said again to as he'll turn the aside from following me where
for should I smite thee to the ground how then should I hold up my face to
Joab thy brother how be it he refused to turn aside where for Abner with the
hind her end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib that the spear came
out behind him and he fell down there and died in the same place and came to
pass that as many as came to the place where as a health fell down and died
stood still so what happens as hell's a great warrior as it tells one of the
fastest people on the planet yet he gets too big for his britches and he decides
to pursue Abner when he shouldn't and Abner tries to give him a warning saying
low buddy you know don't get him close to me cuz I'll have to kill you you know
get some armor on at least I mean do something but he won't listen he thinks
he's better than he is he thinks he's stronger than he is and he goes into the
battle and he dies and you know you see a lot of people do this even though he
was in the right battle he was on the right side he's on the right team
pursuing the right enemy you know what he thought he was stronger than he was
thought he was more ready and prepared than he truly was why because he got too
big for his britches you know we sometimes have to realize that there's
not the maybe it's not the right timing I need to slow down or I'm maybe not the
right guy to attack Abner maybe someone else or maybe I'm not strong enough to
take them by myself I need some help from other people but this comes from a
place of humility not from a place of you know pride if you're too prideful
you're gonna destroy yourself it takes humility you know some people you know
take these things to an extreme I I'm not gonna go through all my notes but
it just you know becoming a pastor you don't want to become a pastor too
quickly you know the Bible says not a novice right why less being lifted up
with pride he fall in the condemnation of the devil hey he could have been a
great pastor but he decided to become a pastor too quickly because he's too
prideful and he's a novice and he gets destroyed why because when you become a
pastor there's a lot of attacks that happen to you and if you can't
withstand the tax you're gonna get destroyed you're gonna destroy yourself
look I know and you might even know there's been people that went out to
start a church and they weren't a bad person starting a church is good work
you know what they weren't ready they weren't prepared for that battle and
they folded like a deck of cards whenever the the heat got turned up they
quit and what a shame why would you want a source and now they don't even seem
like they serve God now doesn't seem like they're doing anything for the Lord
and it's like why would you go and destroy yourself why can't you just be
humble and say you know what I'm as L here and maybe I need to stand aside
maybe I need to go take some armor maybe I need to wait for someone else
the Bible talks about deacons even being proved why you got to test people you
never really know what people are like until they go through a stressful
situation and if you can't handle stressful situations when you're not a
pastor don't be a pastor I mean if you can't handle attack when you're not a
pastor don't be a pastor I mean there's people are like they want to quit a
church because one person talked bad about them and I'm thinking like don't
become a pastor like I can't take all the drama it's like don't be a pastor
they're like someone mistreated me don't go into ministry you know if you can't
handle people bad talking you and treating you like crap and stabbing you
in the back and going against you never be a pastor ever the Bible says
confidence in an unfaithful man in a time of trouble is like a broken tooth
and a foot out of joint being in ministry people will betray you lie
about you stab you in the back good people even get disgruntled against you
and I think that's the worst you know being a pastor when a wicked person lies
and rails about me that's like fun that's like Christmas you know I get to
preach against those people call them out for the flat earth loser that they
are but you know when a good person just gets disgruntled against you and someone
that you love and cared about and they just walk away from church and they
don't like you that's the ones that hurt that's the ones that difficult and you
know I see that destroy good people and I'm like hey in the ministry happens a
lot they falsely accuse you or people don't even know what's really going on
they start misjudging the situation they start saying I can't leave making that
decision well you don't know everything you don't know all the facts all the
time you know people harass you there's people they're so needy they come and
they constantly need stuff from you they're constantly take take take take
take and then they just leave and you're just like man that was frustrating but
at the end of the day you know if you're gonna put someone in that
position you don't want to put an as a hell in that position because he'll get
destroyed by the Abner's he'll get destroyed he's not ready now I'm gonna
go back to my first point I was talking about this King James Bible because you
know I think a lot of people are probably aware of this and there's been
some consternation but there was this like King James Bible conference at
Revival Baptist Church who we let have one of our church plants Jacksonville
and they've been teaching a lot of really bad doctrine on the King James
Bible and you know honestly that's not my business like I don't want to get
involved with their church or other churches but just because I know that we
like them we've been friends with them and vice versa I don't want this
disgusting filthy doctrine of theirs to come into our church because they've
been teaching some bad things from the about the King James Bible and you know
where it's coming from it's coming from Peter Ruckman yeah Peter Ruckman has
influenced a lot of churches to believe a lot of false doctrine and his views on
the King James Bible have been trying to creep in to a lot of churches and I'm
not going to stand for it statements like this the King James Bible corrects
the underlying Greek and Hebrew upon which it was translated this is a stupid
false doctrine this is a wicked doctrine okay now like I said I already told you
I believe that the King James Bibles God's Word exactly how he wanted it
worded I'm not trying to change this thing here but they take this to such a
stupid extreme they'll say words like thoroughly and thorough are different
thoroughly and thoroughly because there's an Oxford edition of the King
James Bible and there's a Cambridge edition of the King James Bible and one
says through Lee and one says thoroughly except for when you look up in the
dictionary the word through Lee you know it says thorough you tell me the
difference between through Lee and thorough you can't they say stupid
things like this everlasting and eternal are different they're different huh
well they take it to such an extremity that if you have a Bible that's not in
English it's in a different language and you in John 3 16 have the word eternal
it's a corruption well it didn't seem like a corruption today when I preached
to two different people that speak Spanish and the reign of Alaira Gomez
Bible John 3 16 la vida a terna and they both got saved that's interesting huh
you explain to me the difference between eternal everlasting the Bible says the
gift of God is eternal life so what does that make everlasting is that a
different gift think about that it's nonsense it's foolishness and this type
of junk is being taught and propagated and you know what they don't appeal the
logic and facts they hide behind the shield of faith but it's not faith my
friend it's imagination but it's the same faith the Mormons have and they're
false God go to Acts chapter 2 let me destroy this stupid doctrine for a
moment give me some grace on the time I know some we have some visitors but I
want to make sure you understand how this is so stupid if the English
language changed into a different language you have to have a new Bible
for it okay if you don't understand the book you have to get a new one otherwise
you become the Catholic Church who had services in Latin for hundreds of years
even though no one spoke Latin this goes against the Bible this goes against
clear scripture and they're so ignorant they don't realize how many verses
they're violating by their false doctrines okay because they literally
teach there's no version that's right it's never the King James like God only
speaks English basically like the underlying Greek upon which the King
James was translated somehow now wrong it's like what how did that work and
they'll they'll peel the verses that say you know he's preserved his word you
know we I named a church called pure word Baptist Church off of Psalms 12
there's talks about him preserving him from this generation forever you know
what that was written in Hebrew how in the world could you read a verse in
Hebrew that says it's gonna last forever and say I guarantee that means it's
gonna be in English in the future only you've left the Bible and gone to the
Lala land now you know what I believe I believe that is preserved in Hebrew and
translated accurately in English they believe it transformed into English and
no longer exists in the original Hebrew you just it's like wow it's hard to
imagine how someone could even believe these things but they do Acts chapter 2
look at verse 1 now what happens in Acts chapter 2 they're filled with the Holy
Ghost it says and when the day of Pentecostal fully come they were all
one accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a
rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and
there appeared in them cloven tongues like his fire and sat upon each of them
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other
tongues as the spirit gave them utterance and there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews devout men out of every nation under heaven now when this was
noise abroad the multitude came together and were confounded because that every
man heard them speak in his own language and they were all amazed and marveled
saying one to another behold are not all these which speak Galileans and how here
we every man in our own tongue wherein we were born Parthians and Medes and
Elamites and Twelves and Mesopotamia and Judea and Cappadocia and Pontius and
Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia and Egypt and in the parts of Libya around Cyrene
and strange of Rome Jews and proselytes creeds and Arabians we do hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God now if God cared so much about
only one language having his words why when they all come to Jerusalem did they
not say you guys need to learn Hebrew he gives it to them all in their own
language and their native tongue so they can have the Word of God so they can
have the gospel but now I'm supposed to believe that there's only one language
that has God's Word what foolishness what nonsense you're going bass-ackwards
okay when you say hey we went from Hebrew and now every language and it's
gonna be give the New Testament in Greek which guess what's not Hebrew isn't that
weird that we have the old New Testament different languages but somehow we else
that only one language in the future which is based on no verses ever okay
that's the type of doctrine that they're getting look if this doctrine did not
exist we wouldn't even have the King James Bible think about it it was in a
different it was in Greek they said well everybody has learned Greek then is that
was referred no they said hey let's bring it into English because we have
English speakers the reason they translated in another language is
because they wanted us to have it too but then they just violate all of this
logic all of the conclusions of Acts chapter number two go to 1st Corinthians
chapter 14 1st Corinthians chapter 14 now let me prove this beyond a shadow of
doubt at this point 1st Corinthians chapter 14 and again what am I what idea
am I attacking here I'm attacking the idea that only the King James Bibles
God's Word preserved look I believe it's reserved you know what it's not the
only one God speaks all languages and the underlying Greek has been preserved
and the underlying Hebrews been preserved too and you know what God's
Word and other languages also preserved to say that it's not is just to deny all
the clear scriptures and what we're gonna read here in a minute 1st Corinthians
14 look at verse 4 he that speaketh an unknown tongue edify it himself but he
that prophesied edify at the church I would that ye all spake with tongues but
rather that you prophesied for greater is he that prophesied then he that
speaketh with tongues except he interpret that the church may receive
edifying so the Bible is saying that speaking in an unknown tongue has no
benefit unless it's interpreted did I did I miss something here is that not
what that just said now they literally get up and say hey if I speak Spanish
which I do they say learn English so if I go to Mexico I suppose to say hey
buddy learn English I'm supposed to walk around just tell everybody learn English
rather than just speaking in Spanish and giving the gospel in Spanish and using a
Spanish Bible to preach in the gospel if they really want God's Word they need to
stop being so lazy you just learn English that's their doctrine that's
what they're teaching the Bible doesn't say hey if you're speaking in an unknown
tongue admonish them to learn the real language of the Bible it's saying no
interpret it well how could you interpret it if you can't really go in
another language look at verse 6 now brethren if I come into you speaking
with tongues what shall I profit you except I shall speak to you either by
revelation or by knowledge or by prophecy or by doctrine and even things
without life giving sound with a pipe or harp except they give a distinction in
the sounds how shall it be known what is piped or harp where the trumpet give
an uncertain sound who shall prepare himself to the battle so likewise he
except the utter by the tongue words easy to be understood how shall it be
known what is spoken for ye shall speak into the air there are it may be so many
kinds of voices in the world and none of them is without signification how many
different kinds of voices look there's people that speak Mandarin people that
speak Chinese there's all kinds of different voices what are the Bible say
the only ones that matter English they said they all have signification they're
all important they all have value look at verse 14 provide praying an unknown
tongue my spirit pray it but my understanding is unfruitful what is it
then I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also I
will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the understanding also else
when thou shalt bless with the spirit how shall he that occupy at the room of
the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks seeing you understandeth not
with thou sayest thou verily giveth thanks well but the other is net not
edified he's saying look if I get up and I preach the Bible in Latin to you how
can you even say Amen if I pray in Latin how can you say Amen even if I said
everything right hey if I get up to a bunch of Spanish speakers and I preach
from the King James Bible you know what I could do the best preaching ever but
if they don't understand it no benefit it's not edifying to those people they
need the Bible in their language they need God's Word and their language now
what logic would it be to say okay I agree they need the Bible in their
language but it could never it doesn't exist and none of its perfect and none
of it could be right and if it doesn't say it exactly like the King James you
know the word everlasting is not found in Spanish so I guess they're just damn
because it says la vida terna in John 3 16 and you know what they're really
doing they're discouraging people that speak a foreign language from reading
the Bible in their language to try and get to a Bible they don't understand
they're destroying their faith they're ruining people's faith and look they're
missing the boat of what the Bible is even teaching just like Peter Ruckman
did I'm shocked look at verse 18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than
y'all yet in the church I'd rather speak five words with my understanding that by
my voice I might teach others also then 10,000 words and an unknown tongue he
says you know what I'd rather to preach five words in Spanish then give them the
whole King James Bible that they don't understand like are we reading the same
Bible here what it's saying this is stupid he says in verse 20 brethren be
not children in understanding how be it a malice be children but an understanding
be men he also says don't be stupid he's not picking it up maybe it's because
you're too stupid because the Bible is saying hey if you don't understand get
understanding don't be a child children don't understand things men don't have
that luxury you're supposed to be a man and you're supposed to understand things
now look at verse 21 and the law is written with men of other tongues and
other lips while I speak unto this people and yet for all that will they
not hear me saith the Lord now God says I'm gonna speak to the children of
Israel through other and notice this word tongues guess what that's plural he
didn't say with other English language only am I gonna speak to this people
with other tongues am I going to speak to these people verse 33 for God is not
the author of confusion but a peace as in all churches of the Saints you know
it's confusing telling everybody just learn English it's nonsense it's not
biblical it's a Peter Ruckman type doctrine and Peter Ruckman took this so
far as to teach that when they got the King James Bible the underlying Greek
and Hebrew didn't even contain these words they got new words it's called
double inspiration they teach that they got re-inspired and these words are what
God said in English and you can't even find them in the Greek and Hebrew that's
where they get the bizarre idea that this corrects the Greek and Hebrew
they'll be like well you know I guess the Greeks wrong if it doesn't say it
exactly like the English yet when you just compare that with the fact that the
English Bibles gone through several revisions and there were several
editions of it it's like at which point did they realize it was fully inspired
they'll say we should never update this book even though this book that was
written in 1611 was revised in 1629 and 1638 and 1769 so which editions right
even though they changed words like mittest to midst yet these people say
you can't change strengthen it to strengthens tell me the difference
between strengtheners and strengthens tell me the difference between minutes
and minutes yet they won't address these type of issues because it proves how
stupid they are look at verse 36 what came the Word of God out from you or
came it unto you only now this is a rhetorical question hey are you too big
for your britches do you think that the Word of God only came to you did the
Word of God only come to English speakers Peter Ruckman it's a
rhetorical question the answer is no verse 37 if any man think himself to be
a prophet or spiritual let him acknowledge that the things that I write
unto you are the commandments of the Lord now you know what he just said
there he said you reality deniers you have to accept what I just said if you
really think you're spiritual if you really think you're a prophet you have
to admit what I just said is true meaning what you can't tolerate fact
deniers you can't tolerate truth deniers when someone's just you know hey this
pulp it's green you're like no it's green it's like get away from that
person when they say hey the earth's flat get away from that person when they
just deny reality they deny facts what does the Bible say verse 38 but if any
man be ignorant let him be ignorant don't go hang out with the guy though
I'll be his buddy look at verse 39 wherefore brethren covet to prophesy and
forbid not to speak with tongue they're forbidding people to speak with tongues
aren't they with this stupid nonsensical doctrine we want the Bible to go to the
whole world and you know what it's not gonna happen just in English we need to
go in other languages that's why we take missions trips to
Reynosa and you know what we didn't go out there with our English Bible and
try to get people safe we went there with a Elena Ferreira Gomez went there
with a Spanish Bible and we preached in Spanish the gospel and I didn't say hey
this is like a corruption of God's Word but let's just use it anyways no I said
this is exactly what God said in Spanish let me show you what it says let me say
you can know you're going to heaven
maybe you're getting too big for your britches thinking yourself what you know
what when you get that way destruction can come a fall last verse I'll just
quote for you Psalms 138 though the Lord be high yet hath the respect of the
lowly but the proud he knoweth afar off let us not get too big for a britches at
any point let us always accept the words of God and be corrected by facts and
reality let us never be too big for britches that we just get destroyed
with our own foolish ignorance okay let us be under have understanding like men
and let the Word of God go out thundering forth you say why why bring
this up actually why is important well you know what I can show them God's Word
in Spanish and they'll say it's not God's Word and let me tell you something
the Bible in Spanish is no more or less God's Word in the English if I show you
a Bible in this book and I I show someone a word some verses and they say
that's not God's Word what would you think about that person that's a problem
right that's an attack on God's Word so when I can show them verses and a
Spanish Bible and they say that's not God's Word they're attacking God's Word
when you can show them words in a Greek Bible that are God's Word they say
that's not God's Word that's an attack on God's Word and you know what just
because I speak English doesn't mean I don't care about other languages I still
do and it's a foundational doctrine you go to our doctrinal statement you look
at the first words on there it's about the Bible and you know what we take them
seriously here and just because I might be English speaking doesn't mean I can't
defend all the Greek and Spanish and everybody else out there they need to be
defended to and they can still have God's Word too I'm not so racist and
prejudiced to say oh the Word of God only came to me and Peter Ruckman who's
in hell probably that's my opinion let's close them for prayer thank you father
so much for your word I pray that we be defenders of your word that we'd love
your word that we'd never get blinded by pride and
arrogance see that we not think too highly of ourselves but as we see stuff
in scripture when people try to lovingly explain things to us and show
us truth and reality that we would acknowledge the things that come from
the Word of God that we acknowledge the truth of the scriptures that when we see
your word that we would believe it I pray that you would just help us to
constantly champion the Word of God not in just English but in all the world and
every language and every tongue that you can get more honor and more glory we
know that every tongue will be represented in heaven and we pray that
we can get as many up there with you as possible in Jesus name we pray amen
