Amen okay so Isaiah chapter 44 and I want to focus on verses 24 and 25 here
so Isaiah 44 and from verse 24 thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer and he that
formed thee from the womb I am the Lord that maketh all things that stretch
forth the heavens alone that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself that
frustrateth the tokens of the liars and maketh divine as mad that turneth wise
men backward and maketh their knowledge foolish and the title of my sermon today
is the foolishness of atheism the foolishness of atheism let's go to the
Lord in a quick word of prayer father I thank you for your word I thank you for
this church I thank you for the opportunity to preach where please just
fill me with your spirit now fill me with boldness and help me just preach
the word accurately and and help people to have open ears and open hearts this
in Jesus name we pray amen okay because it is absolute folly isn't it absolute
folly it is so ridiculous it is such a ridiculous hair brained idea isn't it
yet somehow it's gained such traction in in this world I mean somehow it's just
it is foolishness now just just a quick quick kind of a couple of stats here
from 2019 the number of people who don't believe in God has more than
doubled in the past two decades according to the most recent British
social attitude survey Britain's longest running survey of public opinion 26% of
Brits say they don't believe in God 18% are agnostic so basically sitting on the
fence and only 19% of the public is absolutely certain of God's existence in
1998 10% didn't believe in God so that's that's you know compared to 26% now
with 21% certain of God's existence suggesting that as well as
secularization there has been an increase in confident atheism they call
it confident atheism the survey by the National Center for Social Research also
highlights a continued religious decline in Britain 52% of people say they do not
belong to a religion up from 31% in 1983 when a server was first carried out now
that's a big rise isn't it that's a big rise and when you look at all the
various surveys and studies the number is always highest among the younger age
brackets okay so it's just the younger they get the more likely they are to fit
into the these brackets of thinking there is no such thing as a God now by
the way they are also very sneaky with their stats so when you look at the
stats they'll use things like they'll try to use a 50% non-religious stat and
then insinuate that basically half the UK are atheists and that's ridiculous
that's a that's a nonsense but basically because many fools will just blindly
follow what they consider to be the majority decision you know so they want
to constantly encourage everyone with you know so when you look at the
headlines you look for this sort of thing it looks like there's even more
but when you assess it it's not that many but it's still a ridiculous amount
isn't it it's still a ridiculous amount obviously being non-religious doesn't
mean that that you're denied it doesn't mean you're denying a crate that creator
is it and so a creator and it is better being non-religious is better than being
one of the many non religions isn't it so being non-religious would be better
than sitting in one of the false religions somewhere and listening to a
load of rubbish every week but they will start trying to put those stats together
now apparently a quarter of our nation believe that all of this creation has no
Creator okay a quarter of our nation believes that all of this creation has
no creator that is ridiculous isn't it absolutely absurd well their creator is
the kind of nothing exploding into something God isn't it and the foolishness
of a theme is the title and number one on my points of this is it's not
scientific it is not scientific keep a finger in eyes iron turn of first
timothy 620 keep a finger in eyes iron turn of first timothy 620 where pull
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit he's instructing Timothy here and you
can say this applies to all of us first timothy 620 Oh Timothy keep that which
is committed to thy trust avoiding profane and vain babblings and
oppositions of science falsely so-called now profane means irreverent so it's
proceeding from a contempt of holy things or or at least implying a
contempt of holy things and that's the motivation of this isn't it the
motivation all of this is is contempt of God empty babblings and idle talking
it's contempt of God it's an attack on God and his word any way they can try
their best to disprove the Bible isn't it that's what it is any way to disprove
the Bible to just put God out of their minds to the point of ignoring
overwhelming evidence for a worldwide flood there is overwhelming evidence
everywhere for a worldwide flood ignored trying to explain away the fact that the
oldest writing found only seems to go back less than 6,000 years or that
almost every single culture has stories engravings and sightings of creatures
that we used to call dragons and we now call dinosaurs Oh impossible they lived
billions and billions of years ago but notice how the Chinese zodiac for
example and there's so much evidence isn't there for this sort of thing the
Chinese zodiac years are all real animals you've got the rat the ox the
tiger the rabbit the snake the horse the sheep the monkey the rooster the dog the
pig and then we're meant to believe they just threw in this mythological dragon
in there for a bit of fun yeah with all these and we'll just throw in a dragon
there just have a laugh with that the mythological dragon that seems to
transcend cultures and corners of the world every culture corner of the world
seems to have drawings pictures legends and stories of the mythological dragon
the mythological dragon or dinosaurs of which two are described in depth in
joke 40 long long before over 3,000 years before they were apparently
discovered by our expert scientists over 3,000 years before that is a miracle
isn't it based on what the world would think how on earth were they describing
these these creatures well it's not a miracle because God wrote it but just
because they call it science it doesn't mean it's science does it okay and I
think I'd imagine everyone understands this here but just because some of the
so-called experts have extremely thick glasses and comb over hairdos okay
doesn't mean that these people are so a scientist by God's that description of
the word does it okay they can come over all the hair they like yeah they
can get those glasses thick as they like yeah they can wear little monocles if
they won doesn't mean they speak the truth it doesn't mean these people are
speaking wisdom does it and they love to use long words are they to display their
dizzying intellects don't they so dizzying those intellects but again
doesn't mean that it's science does it that doesn't mean it's science let alone
the fact that most of people who claim to believe this science couldn't even
switch on a Bunsen burner probably could they let alone know the difference
between the scientific truth and profane and vain babblings okay most people who
say I believe in science literally do not have a clue do they they don't have
a clue what they're saying is I believe what I'm told is science yeah I believe
everything I'm told now science in the dictionary has a few different
descriptions I mean number two is what we're talking about here systematic
knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and
experimentation okay observation or experimentation so who managed to
observe this creatorless creation who managed to observe it now listen to this
this is what what they this is kind of their current current belief on this yeah
the Big Bang Theory is a prevailing cosmological model explaining the
existence of the observable universe from the earliest known periods for its
subsequent large-scale evolution the model describes how the universe
expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature and offers a
comprehensive explanation for a broad range of observed phenomena including
the abundance of light elements a cosmic microwave background radiation and
large-scale structure crucially the theory is compatible with Hubble the
Maitre law the observation that the further away galaxy is a faster it is
moving away from Earth extrapolating this cosmic expansion backwards in time
using the known laws of physics the theory describes the increasingly
concentrated cosmos preceded by a singularity in which space and time lose
meaning typically named the Big Bang singularity detailed measurements of the
expansion rate of the universe place a Big Bang singularity at around 13.8
billion years ago which is us considered the age of the universe after its
initial expression an event that is by itself often called the Big Bang the
universe cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of subatomic particles in
later atoms giant clouds of these primordial elements mostly hydrogen with
some helium and lithium later coalesced through gravity forming early stars and
galaxies the descendants of which are visible today beside these primordial
building materials astronomers observe the gravitational effects of an unknown
dark matter surrounding galaxies most of the gravitational potential in the
universe seems to be in this form and a Big Bang theory and various observations
indicate that this excess gravitational potential is not created by baryonic
matter such as normal atoms measurements of the red shifts of supernovae indicate
that the expansion of the universe is accelerating an observation attributed
to dark energies existence this is Wikipedia this is for you to look up
what the Big Bang is and that that is that is for the layman to read yeah
these guys all sound like they got high on drugs and watch far too many Star
Trek episodes I know I mean that is ridiculous isn't it absolutely
ridiculous that is a definition of profane and vein babblings isn't it that
is the definition of profane and vein babblings great I mean they're giving us
a good example of that so we can really you know get an idea what that is now
it's more believable take away all that's what more believable for me to say
that this pulpit made itself isn't it that would be more believable for me to
say this pulpit just came together you know a few bits few bits there much more
believable because that it doesn't matter how many supernovae eyes and you
know extrapolations and everything else you put into that if I if I started
talking about you know cosmic events that came together and you know and
extrapolated this and then the pulpit just suddenly bang and it was there it's
a nonsense isn't it it's an absolute nonsense proverbs 15 14 you'd have to
turn this is the heart of him that has understanding seeketh knowledge but the
mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness it feeds on foolishness because they
didn't observe it did they they didn't observe that now maybe they gained this
knowledge through experimentation maybe they gained it through experimentation
so how are those explosions of nothing going creating life how do you think
they're going in their labs right now explosions creating life or in fact how
they're getting on just creating life out of anything without an explosion
with all of the ingredients and themselves as a creator how do you think
they're getting on with that no way they're failing every time of course they
are or how about how about showing us a creature that is slowly becoming another
creature how about that how about a creature that is part one creature and
part another creature you know that macro evolution that is handily umbrella
termed evolution so we can just use the micro evolution the adaptation of
species and just lump it all what you don't believe in evolution oh look you
know there's there's creatures that are adapting no I don't believe that a
creature suddenly becomes a new creature it's ridiculous how many billions and
billions of years you throw in there the missing ingredient and that is their
missing ingredient isn't it that is where we that's where we've got it all
wrong because without you know it's a billions of years you don't realize this
happened over billions of years so let's have a look at their their theories
because right now surely they've got it all sus seven day right now they got it
sus cuz these guys you know there's some clever guys there okay let's have a
quick look at this so the the historical aspects in finding out the age of the
earth 1860 they said the earth was ancient but no date many geologists have
evidence that earth is ancient but cannot give an actual day as I only have
relative dating methods some still use the Bible and other religious texts to
support the idea that the earth is only about 6,000 years old 1862 earth was
apparently a hundred million years old they decided in 62 1860 this is William
Thompson later called later called Lord Kelvin estimates the earth is a hundred
million years old based on its cooling from a very hot creation is a long way
out because he does not know about the heat from natural radioactivity poor old
Lord Kelvin Lord Kelvin the first Baron Kelvin was a Scottish mathematician
apparently a physicist who developed the Kelvin scale of temperature
measurement he also had theories on the age of the earth and some that were
later disproved oh dear 1903 heat from radioactivity George Darwin and John
Jolie pointed out the new discovered at heat for radioactivity and rocks would
upset earlier assumptions about scientific age of the earth 1905 they
found a way to date rocks this was using radioactive elements apparently with
long half-lives such as uranium but 1907 they got a new age for the earth now
Bertram bolt wood uses the ratios of uranium and its decay product led in
rock suggest dates of 92 to 570 million years so you know he didn't really want
to put himself on the line there did he 1911 they went even earlier dates Arthur
Holmes improves improves on bolt woods work I disagree with that rock
determined to be carboniferous by relative dating is 340 million years old
a precambrian rock is 1 billion 640 million years old these dates are not
widely accepted as they disagree with earlier dating methods 1920 they got
this mass spectrometer that's some sort of thing that's for studying isotopes
1927 not the oldest rocks are the home suggested the earth is 1.6 to 3 billion
years old again he's he hasn't gone for a precise number there he realized that
all the rocks being chemically dated were formed a long time after the earth
was formed 1941 3.2 billion years old EK Jerling estimates the earth of the earth
is 3.2 billion years he bases this on rocks they love rocks don't know these
guys you ever notice he based is this on rocks he because we all came from rocks
yeah exactly they worship the rock died day he thinks of from the time when
earth was formed these rocks are later shown to come from after Earth's
formation ah that's where he got it wrong 1956 meteorites Claire Claire
Patterson this is a guy though realizes that some meteorites were formed at the
same time as the earth and have stayed unchanged he gets the age never trust a
man that's called Claire he gets the age of 4.5 5 billion plus or minus 0.3
billion years which is 300 million years isn't it from the canyon Diablo meteorite
okay so nearly done here 1972 the moon rock the oldest rocks brought back for
the moon by the Apollo 17 mission have radiometric radiometric dates of up to
4.5 billion years it is sought the moon formed at a similar time to earth 1983
they got the oldest crystal zircon crystals in Western Australia dated to
4.2 billion years so we're just going up and up and up where do you think they're
going to be in sort of 50 years time with this up to the trillions won't we
2007 the oldest earth rocks the oldest no rocks called Acosta nice found in
Canada date at 4.03 billion years old the 1983 crystals are older but are no
longer in their original okay last one 2010 improved error range many
meteorites have now be date improving Pat Patterson's 1956 age of the earth of
4.5 5 plus or minus 0.3 billion years to 4.5 5 plus or minus 0.02 billion years
this reduction error means that geologists have become more confident in
their estimates of the age of the earth okay until when until when until next
year next decade whenever it is if you know things are still going on as they
are so um now people say oh but but but now they know best now we've got some
better dating methods yeah now we get it okay so you're not you should be in
Isaiah 44 go back to Isaiah 44 okay verse 24
Isaiah 44 24 says thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer and he that formed thee
from the womb I am the Lord that maketh all things that stretches forth the
heavens alone that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself that's what God said I
am the Lord that maketh all things that stretches forth the heavens alone that
spreadeth abroad the earth by myself Genesis 1 1 says in the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth my inspired preserved Word of God that is
100% accurate on absolutely everything I've ever put it to the test on says in
Revelation 4 11 thou art worthy O Lord to receive glory and honor and power for
thou has created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created how
can you look at this world and think it happened by accident you have to be a
fool don't you an absolute fool verse 25 of Isaiah 44 said thus that
frustrateth the tokens of the liars and maketh diviners mad that turneth wise
men backward and maketh their knowledge foolish how frustrating to be one of
these lies with their ever-changing tokens or evidence of their madness say
that's got to be pretty frustrating how maddening to be studying this divination
this guesswork conjecture and get to the end of your career or life and still
have no idea yeah still have no idea how embarrassing how embarrassing to
consider yourself wise but have to rethink your whole life's work and
realize that actually all of your knowledge was foolishness either here or
in hell yeah how embarrassing how pathetic but they're not really
searching the truth are they okay and that's something we've got to
understand it they're not searching the truth proverbs 18 2 says a fool have no
delight in understanding but that his heart may discover itself okay their
whole motivation is to prop up their ridiculous model of spontaneous
explosions creating life and anything else to disprove God isn't it okay
that's what they're fixated on and the foolishness of atheism number one was
atheism number one was it's not scientific number two it's hard to
escape it's hard to escape Turner job 12 will I read read Romans chapter 1 verse
20 in Romans 1 describing reprobates given up by God verse 20 says for the
invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen
being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead
so that they are without excuse now verse 20 is saying that the creation is
evidence of God and his power and that's to everyone everyone everyone is without
excuse job 12 you're in job 12 verse 7 but ask now the beasts and they shall
teach thee and the fowls of the air and they shall tell thee or speak to the
earth and it shall teach thee and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto
thee who knoweth not in all these at the hand of the Lord has wrought this in
whose hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of all mankind we
can learn so much from creation can't we but who doesn't know that it's all of
the Lord who doesn't know not just not just a creation but the sustaining of
life as well the sustaining of life because without God this would end in a
second wouldn't it turn to Psalm chapter 14 Psalm chapter 14 okay Psalm 14 and
verse 1 says the fool has said in his heart there is no God they are corrupt
they have done abominable works there is none that doeth good now look there are
people that claim atheism atheism is a handy way to avoid acknowledging God yeah
there are those but deep down they know the truth deep down they know the truth
but to say in your heart to say in your heart to have convinced yourself that
there is no God is hard maybe impossible to come back from maybe possible because
it's interesting that that Psalm and the parallel Psalm to it as well for me are
describing a describing someone who's given up on by God there and I don't
know I don't know where that line is there with I think there are fools that
obviously aren't reprobate but a lot of the time the fool is describing that
we'll see that in a second why is it hard to come back from well Proverbs 27 22
before you're given up by God says though thou shouldest Bray a fool in a
mortar among wheat with a pestle yet will not his foolishness depart from him
so you can break that's to pound to beat to grind small a fool but he will still
be a fool okay you can beat them down and try and beat that foolishness out of
them sometimes it's tempting but they they will still they will still end up a
fool because as Proverbs 14 3 says in the mouth of the foolish is a rod of
pride but the lips of the wise shall preserve them how many times when you
speak to a real atheist I'm not saying someone that just kind of use it as a
handy excuse and within five seconds they're acknowledging there's a God when
you speak to someone who said in his heart how often is the pride just oozing
off them isn't it they're so prideful with it it's usually an attempt to
proudly show you their intellect isn't it they're so proud of their atheism
their belief in science they usually you know I don't believe in a god you know
you're at the door and it's terrible is it's sad really they like well I believe
in science you know it is bad but you see that the pride is these guys are so
puffed up so proudful Proverbs 14 16 says a wise man fearth and departed
from evil but the fool rageth and is confident he's a fool he's raging because
they get angry these guys don't they how angry is the atheist the atheist is more
angry a lot of the time than the guy from the false religion he's more angry
than the than the music sometimes in the Jew when you knock on the door and you
say to me start trying to preach you know so why are you so offended you're
so you're so confident you're so puffed up you're so knowledgeable and
intelligent why don't you feel sorry for me why aren't you being kind and trying
to show me your your beliefs and show me the error of my ways why are you instead
angrily slamming the door in my face if not shouting curse words and the rest of
it because because the fool rageth but and is confident he's confident in his
raging isn't he they do rage a lot so angry that you would dare invite them to
church I mean how dare you invite me to your church and you know they're so
arrogant in their folly aren't they but of course this is then exasperated by
any wealth so Proverbs 1 32 says for the turning of a way of the simple shall
slay them and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them the prosperity of
fools shall destroy the wealth of that atheist will basically provide a one-way
underground ticket to the heart of the earth right now that that that wealth
will provide them that one-way underground ticket to the heart of the
earth interestingly the end of Proverbs 1 which I just quoted there is
definitely for me describing the reprobate there it says for the Tony
whether simple shall slay them and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them
they reject that innate knowledge again and again and when you try to reach them
Proverbs 23 9 says speak not in the ears of a fool for he will despise the wisdom
of thy words they don't want to hear it do they they hate it they absolutely I've
actually had an atheist basically covering his ears ago well I try to give
him a verse and shut the door it was like it whoa like he was just you know
when I said oh can I just tell you my favorite verse you know quickly shut the
door I mean they despise the wisdom of your words they despise it they don't
want to hear it they hate the truth but it's like any other false religion
though once they're deeply entrenched once they're deeply entrenched it the
more time that goes by the harder it is to get them out if they're still capable
and that's one of the pitfalls of atheism isn't it like any other false
religion once you're you're to the point where you're just saying in your heart
there's no God it's is a is there a way out once you get to that point I don't
know Psalm 53 turn to Psalm 53 now this is the parallel Psalm to Psalm 14 it's
almost identical Psalm 53 and verse 1 says to the it's to the chief musician
upon Maolath Mascula Psalm David it says the fall have said in his heart there is
no God corrupt are they and have done abominable iniquity there is none that
doeth good why does God repeat himself why does God repeat himself why is there
an almost identical song maybe because he knew that the world would put these
people on a pedestal do you think maybe God knew maybe he knew they'll convince
themselves that it's the intellectual stance will somehow turn it around to
where they call the vast majority of people in the world that don't believe
in explosions of nothing creating all of this the false because it is still the
vast majority the vast majority of people around the world don't believe
in this nonsense now they try and make out like you know anyone with any
intelligence but the vast majority don't do they and and look yeah the Western
world has been getting hoodwinked for a lot longer with this and maybe one of
the reasons I don't know why why a lot of the time in the Western world the
people that aren't maybe or maybe first second or third generation only here
generally a lot more receptive aren't they because those are growing up in
Britain a lot of the time I don't know if it's the atheism or whatever else but
but it seems like this it's really hard isn't it with a lot of them but you know
it is the vast majority of people haven't been done by this yet as much as
they try and tell us it is and and because I'm gonna get onto this in a
second the point of that um but look these people are corrupt aren't they
they are corrupt they have done abominable iniquity the people where
they're saying it in their heart I'm not talking about the person who's grown up
at school and says yeah I'm an atheist and then sort of really deep down they
don't really believe that they're just oh well I've got to fit in you know
that's what I've been told but people who say that in their heart they have
done abominable iniquity most the time there is none that doeth good and as
with all false religion this is especially evident amongst the leaders
okay especially evident amongst leaders a foolishness of atheism number one it's
not scientific number two it's hard to escape and number three they follow vile
perverts okay they follow vile perverts like all these other false religions
Proverbs 19 3 says the foolishness of man perverted his way and his heart
fretted against the Lord like the billions of Muslims that have no issue
with their Prophet Muhammad being a pedophile like the billions of Catholics
that don't seem to care about the massive cover-ups that continue to go
on throughout the Roman Catholic Church same with the imams by the way it's not
just the Catholics yeah they're just because they're Christian as far as the
world is concerned we hear a lot more about them the imams the pervert imams
everywhere the rabbis the other rabbis who are who are just full of this
pedophilia I mean the stores eat the arrests are so many the Buddhist monks
anyone heard about the Buddhist monks over in Thailand have a look next time
next time you you know you want to look at this stuff you're interested the
Buddhist monks in Thailand I mean it's like absolute like mayhem going on where
they're just basically all these poor boys are put in these kind of these monk
places where they kind of gather to be an apprentice it's wicked okay and it's
all the same it's false religion because that's like the core religion right now
isn't it Buddhism no they're just a bunch of perverts as well bunch of
pedophiles the Jehovah's Witnesses what about Jehovah's Witnesses the amount of
payouts from the Jehovah's Witnesses the the Mormons they're more just a sex
cult isn't it now we don't we don't run into them much here I've actually got
past you know sort of maybe I think I might have seen a couple of Mormons
before here but there was one that I actually worked with briefly on a job
once a few years back and I've got to talk to this guy the one Mormon I've
ever really talked to properly and he turned out to be a nonce he turned out
to be basically some sort of abuse of his his wife's because they generally
marry quite young his wife's little sister and this guy was young as well I
mean just wicked that the only one and for me that says a lot to me but
regardless as we know again just perverts and look the religious leaders
the religious leaders of atheism are no different okay exactly the same Richard
Dawkins anyone know much about Richard Dawkins we've all probably heard of
Richard Dawkins haven't we okay born in 26th of March 1941 he's a British
evolutionary biologist and author he is an emeritus fellow of New College
Oxford and was professor for public understanding of science in the
University of Oxford from 95 to 2008 an atheist he is well known for his
criticism of creationism and intelligent design because his whole motivation is
attacking God isn't it now this was Richard Dawkins talking about one of his
pedophile masters at boarding school he said he said other children in his
school peer group this is our summarizing here I'll quote him in a
second had been molested by the same teacher but concluded this is him I
don't think he did any of us lasting harm I am very conscious that you can't
condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours just as we don't look
back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same
way as we would condemn a modern person for racism I look back a few decades to
my childhood and see things like caning like mild pedophilia and can't find it
in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today he
said this is Richard Dawkins yeah he said the most notorious case of
pedophilia involved rape and even murder should not be bracketed with what he
called just mild touching up just mild touching up and I'm not going to
describe what happened to him but his reasons for defending the behavior seem
to focus on three points firstly that hysteria over a fear of pedophilia is
overblown by society second that instilling a child with fundamentalist
religious beliefs is actually a worse way to abuse a child and third that he
personally overcame childhood sexual abuse meaning it must not be that big of
a deal for anyone else who was subjected to similar behavior it's like to see why
he hates God yeah or at least what started the hating of God all three of
the boarding schools I attended employed teachers whose affections for small
boys overstepped the bounds of propriety that was indeed reprehensible
nevertheless if 50 years on they had been hounded by vigilantes or lawyers
as no better than child murderers I should have felt obliged to come to
their defense even as a victim of one of them an embarrassing but otherwise
harmless experience this is quoting Richard Dawkins people still respect
follow and listen to this guy people still put this guy up there as some sort
of you know atheist example you know what a what a dizzying intellect okay
here's another one anyone heard of Peter Singer Peter Singer so this guy's on the
number one of atheists apparently in the world again depends what list you look
at this guy's been quite outspoken recently he's an Australian moral
philosopher currently the IRA W decant professor of bioethics at Princeton
University he specialized in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues
I mean ethical issues coming from these people from a secular utilitarian
perspective now along with justifying killing babies okay which he has and his
support of bestiality this guy more recently he's argued in favor of the
rape of disabled people this guy is up there on their top top guy this is so
this I'm not going to quote it anyway I'll go through these quickly because
it's absolutely vile okay this guy basically saying because there was a
case in in the States where where basically some woman was was she was
sentenced for this and he basically came in defense of her saying that well you
know the disabled person who couldn't you know kind of he couldn't willfully
say yes or no well you know basically it's not right it's a long story but
it's vile and we won't go into it David Silverman born night August 13 1966 he's
an American secular advocate I don't know if anyone's heard of this guy
because he was he previously served as president of American atheists a
nonprofit organization supporting the rights of atheists and the removal of
expressions of religion in government seems so angry about this don't they
from 2010 to 2018 his annual anti Christmas billboard which calls
Christmas a myth has often sparked controversy Silverman is also the
subject of the popular are you serious face internet meme recently fired for
two allegations of sexual assault Silverman who claims to be in an open
marriage says that it was consensual you know the old open marriage yeah yeah two
allegations sexual assault and then what about Stephen Fry anyone know Stephen
Fry anyone heard of Stephen Fry okay so Stephen Fry is an English actor
broadcaster comedian director and writer in 2010 Fry was made a distinguished
supporter of the British Humanist Association stating it is essential to
nail one as colors to the mass as a humanist on 22nd February 2011 Fry was
presented with a lifetime achievement award in cultural humanism by the
humanist chaplaincy at Harvard University when interviewed in 2015 by
veteran Irish broadcaster gay burn fry was asked what he would say if he came
face to face we've got anyone seen that rubbish and I've seen this so basically
this went around the internet was on YouTube millions and millions of you
where this guy always asks his interviewees what would you do if you
came face to face with God at the pearly gates or something like that and fry just
went on this I would say how dare you how children with bone cancer how dead
and he just goes on this rant this attacker it is absolutely wicked it's
even more wicked when you consider that that pervert fry was in a 15 year
relationship with Daniel Cohen which ended in 2010 fry was listed number two
in 2016 number two in 2000 number 12 in 2017 on the pride power list on 6th of
January 2015 British tabloid The Sun reported that fry would marry his
partner comedian Elliot Spencer now if anyone I saw this when the news come up
maybe maybe I saw on Facebook at the time I still on Facebook this this guy
Elliot Spencer looks like a child okay he's apparently in his 20s I don't know
he literally looks like a child fry wrote on Twitter Stephen Fry is what
would we say born in 1957 so he's basically the best part of six over 60
now so okay so fry said it looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain
bag I'm very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding fat
chance 11 days off the news story fry married Spencer on 17th of January at
Derryham in Norfolk this guy if you've seen pics of him he is a vile vile
pervert and and and this guy again is highly respected amongst the atheists in
this country this guy great that he gave you know goddess tongue-lashing on on
this and gay burn this guy isn't I don't think he's a sodomite I might have that
wrong but I think that is actually his name but I'm on his talk show it wasn't
you know and look people people put these guys up people like what a great
guy to be outspoken about it and now the argument could be yeah but these people
infiltrate everywhere they do but look the atheist like other false religions
are still following these vile perverts okay they still follow him they still
respect him they still quote them they still kind of copy their statements
said their quotes they still listen to them they still support them a lot of
the time as well and we're not like we don't do that so look there's every
chance isn't there there could be some pervert at some point you know in in
churches like ours and and there will be and there has been that have been kicked
out and stuff like that but you're not gonna keep following them are you you're
not gonna listen to him you know well never mind you know that's it they're
done on it you imagine if I started quoting I'm not standing up here just
trying to justify pedophilia do you think anyone would be here next week no
way no say good the atheists would yeah well I don't know if we got any in here
though but but no one would would they but these guys it doesn't matter to them
does it now but have you noticed as well have these how many atheist comedians
there are anyone notice that there are a lot of atheist comedians and they always
seem to find sick things hilarious don't they obviously or pretty much all of
them part of their routine will all be an attack on God won't it and a mockery
of Christianity it's all just one big laugh isn't it
turn to Turner's second Peter three
while I read Ecclesiastes 7 6 so Ecclesiastes 7 6 says for as a crackling
of thorns under a pot so is a laughter of the full this also is vanity and
proverbs 15 21 says folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom but a man of
understandeth Walker a man of understanding walketh uprightly um I
remember listening to a comedian where many years ago where the big joke was
how many how many of the names in the Bible it's got it's like their English
names trying to claim like people in the Middle East were called John and Mark
and Matthew and like all these people are like roaring with laughter it just
what a load of nonsense where do you think the names came from you but like
this is the sort of stuff they come out with you know and everyone's in stitches
just yeah maybe we've got like British names you know Western names you know
these people are so foolish yeah folly is joy to him that is destitute of
wisdom they love it absolutely love it love the sick jokes love the twisted
stuff love the foolish jokes now second Peter chapter 3 from verse 3 knowing this
first that there shall come in the last day scoffers walking after their own
lusts and saying where is the promise of his coming for since the fathers fell
asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation for
this a willingly are ignorant of that by the Word of God the heavens were of
old and the earth standing out of the water and in the water whereby the world
that then was being overflowed with water perished but the heavens and the
earth which are now by the same word are kept in store reserved unto fire
against a day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men they are scoffers aren't
they less scoffers walking after their own disgusting lusts and that's what it
is isn't it they're walking after their own disgusting lusts they are willingly
ignorant and so are the fools that follow these perverts aren't they they're
willingly ignorant and to until they get to the point where they they basically
convince themselves that there's no God and these people are scoffers and you
hear them scoffing all the time and it's all just it's like that scoffing noise
isn't it God the Bible you know it's that scoff scoff scoff scoff so look
it's foolishness it's unscientific it's a slippery slope and it's full of
perverts and I would imagine most people here probably understand that maybe a
bit of it's just remind you maybe they haven't heard some of those quotes from
these people but are probably pretty aware probably understood it would be
pretty lightly so what's the point what can we do about it so what can we as
Christians do about this nonsense well number one don't compromise okay number
one don't compromise Turner Turner Colossians chapter 2 Colossians chapter
2 and verse 8 Colossians 2 8 says beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men after the rudiments of
the world and not after Christ how many Christians have tried to fit macro
evolution into the Bible somehow how many have tried to do that well maybe
God created the monkey to evolve into man you have you heard this nonsense
before or they've tried to fit the Big Bang in God could have caused the Big
Bang you have heard Christians come out with this or read Christians coming out
with this stuff or the gap theory what about the gap theory okay now if you're
wondering if you don't know what the gap theory is you just want a reminder gap
creationism they like to call it because it's not a theory also known as
ruin restoration creationism restoration creationism or the gap theory is a form
of old earth creationism that posits at the six yom creation period okay yom is
a Hebrew day yeah but you know six yom creation period as you got to go back to
the Hebrew as described in the book of Genesis involves six literal 24-hour
days light being day and dark night as God specified and that there was a gap
of time between two distinct creations in the first and the second verse of
Genesis which the theory states explains many scientific observations including
the age of the earth it differs from day age creationism which posits that the
days of creation were much longer periods thousands or millions of years
and from young earth creationism which although it agrees concern the six
literal 24-hour days of creation does not posit any gap of time because
there's none there is there well there's a big problem with the gap theory and a
day age theory it's called Exodus chapter 20 verse 11 you could turn there
if you like Exodus 20 11 give you a minute if you want to turn there Exodus
20 11 says this Exodus 20 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth the
sea and all that in them is and rested the seventh day wherefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it in six days now six days according to
the day age compromises the Sabbath day is actually thousands or millions of
years long that would be a long Sabbath day wouldn't it that'd be a long
service yeah if the Sabbath day was thousands of years but no it was in six
literal days now I don't know about you but I believe this book yeah everyone
else believes this book and this book I don't need the world's approval to
believe this book do I I don't need the world's approval and try and fit in this
book with their foolishness yeah why would you do that why do they do that
it's infuriating you'd have to turn there Proverbs 21 30 says there is no
wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord there isn't is there
why am I going to take what these unsaved people are saying and try and
fit it in with the book you're not going to do it are you now Ecclesiastes 10 1
says you have to owner says dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to
send forth a stinking savour so does a little folly him that is in reputation
for wisdom and honor don't let the pressure of this nonsense start making
you seek a way of incorporating it into the Bible okay and look people do do it
people have done it they're strong Christians I'd imagine that have slowly
started doing that a little folly will ruin your wisdom and honor okay a little
folly you can be right on everything else you start trying to fit in
billions of years and the rest of it people are just they're not gonna
respect you are they they're not gonna respect you as a man of God God created
man from the dust of the earth didn't he not from a monkey
Genesis 1 27 says so God created him so it's so God created man in his own image
in the image of God created he him male and female created he them my God isn't
a monkey okay my God isn't a monkey in Daniel 4 Nebuchadnezzar saw four men in
the fiery furnace didn't he not three men and a primate swinging around my God
didn't cause an explosion of nothing I don't know about yours but mine didn't
cause exposure nothing and when my God says six days guess what he means six
days doesn't he when he says six days he means six days we don't have to go back
to the Hebrew and start trying to find other ways of explaining a way to fit in
with the wicked world and their nonsense right so number one don't compromise
okay that's pretty obvious I think and again I think we've got some strong
Christians here that are very unlikely to start you know going down the route
of trying to fit in atheism and all their nonsense into the Bible but how
about number two don't give it any credibility don't give it any
credibility first Timothy 6 20 said Oh Timothy keep that which is committed to
thy trust avoiding profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science
falsely so-called avoiding he said to avoid it didn't he I don't even want to
hear the stupidity coming out of these people's mouths I just want to avoid it
I don't want to hear it I personally don't even think it warrants a debate I
really don't I don't think it warrants a debate now as far as I'll go if I have
someone try and say that first thing I'll just say is that the creation is
evident of the Creator yeah that's evidence you know I think that's pretty
obvious do you want me to continue and show you the gospel I'm not gonna stand
there and start going down their route and start going it's not it doesn't have
the credibility of that it's ridiculous because that there are two types people
in this world aren't there there are those that want to hear the truth and
those that don't okay and they'll come up with an excuse of reason you know and
they might use that and maybe that'll be their initial thing they say but just
offer them the gospel when you're out soul winning because for me like I don't
I don't know if anyone here has managed to debate with a proper atheist who and
then somehow at the end of it got him saved let me know afterwards but look
learning the holes in all of their scientific theories is a waste of time
as it's all just one big black hole isn't it it's just one big black hole
what are you gonna do let's spend years learning creationism sorry learning a
light learning Big Bang and atheism and their so-called evolution theory to
argue like what is a point in any of that because it doesn't it doesn't it
shouldn't have that amount of credibility if someone can't just see
when it's quickly pointed out for them that is ridiculous just look at you and
me look at that the creations evident of the grade what did Romans 1 say you know
they're without excuse you know even his eternal parent Godhead Timothy was
told to avoid it wasn't he Timothy was told to avoid it if I stated some folly
now that I know that the sky was actually green so say I'll just like
going the sky is green and I try to you know bamboozle you with a load of
technical terms yeah about how the sky is green you know optical illusions
centered around the blue light spectrum you know is a reason why you've you know
you believe that you know and everything it's because of the Bible and
religion has brainwashed you into believing that the sky is blue yeah and
look you you wouldn't bother debate would anyone here have a debate with me
about it would you call I need to have a debate I'm gonna have to learn about
this guy's green theory you know so I could really win brother Ian over with
it no you just be such an idiot if you're gonna carry on we're not gonna
talk yeah surely yeah that's what that's what you should say you just wouldn't
bother now turn a second Timothy to while I read Proverbs 26 Proverbs 26 8
says as he that bindeth a stone in a sling so is he that giveth honor to a
fool so look give them a chance yeah people want to talk about yourself give
them a chance in case they're just a victim but don't give them don't give
honor to a fool don't actually get into a debate about this rubbish yeah there's
no debate to be had it's just ridiculous it's a nonsense
Proverbs 29 9 says if a wise man contendeth with a foolish man whether he
rage or laugh there is no rest so when they're actually a fool when they've
said in their heart yeah when they really believe this rubbish you know you
contend with them whether he rage or laugh there's no rest you know you know
you're not gonna it's not gonna go well you're not gonna end up with ah we got
there in the end it just he just really needed me to explain the errors in all
these ways nice it's nonsense it's nonsense debating contending with these
people is a waste of time I think it's a complete waste of time
2nd Timothy chapter 2 and verse 23 says but foolish and unlearned questions
avoid knowing that they do gender strife so 2nd Timothy 2 verse chapter 2 verse
23 but foolish and unlearned questions avoid knowing that they do gender
strife we should avoid all of those foolish questions shouldn't we all that
so what about this what about that just avoid it verse 24 the servant of the
Lord must not strive but be gentle unto all men apt to teach patient right
you're teaching them the gospel though not teaching there you don't have to
learn every ridiculous subject to be apt to teach we don't want to row the fool
won't listen the fool's not going to listen we should be gentle we should be
apt to teach we should be patient but the powers in the gospel isn't it the
powers in the Word of God it's in the gospel it's not in some long-winded
debate about atheism and big bangs verse 25 in meekness instructing those that
oppose themselves if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth look we can do it we can do it gently without pride
and arrogance can't we okay this isn't a soul-winning sermon okay this isn't I
wouldn't send this sermon to a load of unbelieving atheists this is going to
get them saved no that's not what this is about this is to the safe churches
for the saved isn't it took for the believers and we're you know part of
this sermon is for some of these points to strengthen faith a little bit we got
young youngsters here as well just to remind you how ridiculous it is and you
don't have to be swayed by you have to oh well you know a bit nervous about you
know preaching the truth because you know they're so scientific no they're
just it's foolishness it's ridiculous they're clowns I mean it really like you
should just picture an atheist with like a red nose on and some big shoes and
and a blue wig and that because it they are they're clowns as soon as you
honestly try and come out of that you're a clown you're an absolute clown you
know I should be like at the end because because because it's a joke there should
be a punchline shouldn't there okay verse 26 and and that sorry and that
they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive
by him as well and ultimately they have been taken captive by the devil okay of
course the devil is behind this you don't return a second Corinthians 4
verses 3 to 4 says but if our gospel be hid it is hid unto them that are lost in
whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not lest
the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should
shine unto them the answer is the gospel isn't it the answer is the gospel not
debate debates about the cosmic microwave background radiation okay you
ain't getting anywhere with that Star Trek stuff it's the gospel so number one
was don't compromise number two don't give it any credibility and number three
don't stop being a shining light okay don't stop being a shining light turn to
1st Peter 2 of course Matthew 5 16 says let your light so shine before men that
they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven now 1st
Peter chapter 2 and from verse 12 says having your conversation honest among
the Gentiles that whereas they they speak against you as evildoers they may
by your good works which they shall behold glorify God in a day of
visitation submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake
whether it be to the king of supreme or unto governors as unto them that are
sent by him for the punishment of evildoers for the praise of them that do
well for so is the will of God that with well-doing you may put to silence the
ignorance of foolish men look the moral depravity of these people is clear
isn't it is clear it's just coming off them in waves but the worse it gets the
more they call good evil and evil good the more that people will look for the
truth the more people will look for the truth people that really want the truth
will look because it's so ridiculous isn't it you can't look at the world
right now and go thank thank you know well you what they wouldn't say God
thank whatever for atheism thank you know it's just lucky that we finally got
rid of that religion because now you know things are sorted look at the state
of them all look at the state of it look if amongst these delusional atheists
yeah our behavior is honest we're full of good works some might look at it and
stop and think those I haven't gone too far yet might look and stop and think
yeah when we obey government where possible because we should where
possible when it doesn't contradict God's law we should obey the higher
power look they want to call you evildoers anyway don't they they want to
call you even they want to find something to criticize when you're
living right when you're living morally right when you're living you know as far
as you can under the law of the land and you're and you're a shining light to
people well then it's they're running out of things to criticize us with aren't
they verse 15 it says therefore so is the will of God that with well-doing he
may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men with well-doing that's you
know the will of God is that will silence them with our own well-doing
yeah because the the attacks on God the attacks on Christians the attacks on the
Bible all the time isn't it but the more we're just that contrasts the more we're
that separate group not trying to fit in with them not trying to or appease them
somehow not trying to be a little bit like them so they don't hate us too much
look they're gonna hate you but with time they're gonna have to look at that
and see the difference the way we live as to the way they live yeah the way the
majority live in a way that men of God women of God children of God with this
book living by this book live and that according to God here and that's his
will that with well-doing we may put to science ignorance of ignorance of
foolish men but what is the ultimate well doing what's the ultimate well
doing going out preaching the gospel isn't it going out preaching the Word of
God and in part it's not that I'll just be a shining light one day they might
just kind of realize it that God's true and understand the whole gospel no we
have to go out and preach the gospel and that's it that's all too that's that's
the biggest charity that's the biggest love isn't it now get out there get out
there preach the gospel and live right at the same time now turn to turn of
Philippians chapter 2 mmm Philippians chapter 2 and verse 14 Philippians 2 14
says do all things without murmurings and disputings that ye may be blameless
and harmless the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation among whom ye shine as lights in the world avoid the disputes
it's a waste of time is that we want to be blameless what to be harmless like it
says here in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation and look you know in in
this crooked and perverse nation yeah how could we even think about compromise
how we think about trying to appease them how can we give them the
credibility that they don't deserve you know it's ridiculous but if we doing
things right we we should be a shining light shouldn't we in what is a bizarre
illogical dark land that we live in but be that shining light get out there
preach the gospel and we can make a difference can't we and that's the
Christians response and on that note let's pray father I thank you for your
word I thank you for you know the many truths that you give us of which you
know that that truth that you know in the beginning God created the heaven and
the earth and thank you that all of us here just just have that faith we know
the truth that we haven't been you know condoned hoodwinked by by just these
ridiculous you know oppositions of science falsely so-called and help us to
be strong with this help us to be to be bold about it help us not to get drawn
into pointless debates and help us not to compromise and help us to be a
shining light to these people and to preach the gospel to these people and
and you know and keep us away from those that are too far gone as well just just
help us not to waste our time with those and just to focus on those and lead us
to people that that are receptive to your to your gospel and starting this
afternoon please just help us to get many people saved help us to go out and
preach your word and for all of us to be bold and confident in it and help us to
return here for this evening service and in Jesus name we pray all of this
