Amen all right the title of the sermon tonight is turned aside unto vain
Jangling turned aside unto vain jangling let's pray Lord
We thank you so much for the scriptures and Lord the clear instruction in the book of Timothy Lord
I pray that you'd just bless this service Lord wake everybody up
And I pray Lord that you just helped me to preach tonight and fill me with the Holy Ghost in Jesus name amen
All right, so we're gonna focus on
Verses 5
Through 7 tonight where the Bible reads in verse 5 now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart
and of a good conscience and of faith
unfeigned
from some
From which some have swerved
Having swerved have turned aside unto vain
Jangling desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm
So I just want to kind of look at this word swerved
I mean there I don't think that that's in the King James Bible very many times
I didn't actually look to see how many times that's an interesting word though isn't it from which having swerved have turned aside
Unto vain jangling. What does it mean to swerve?
Well swerved means to turn aside abruptly in movement or direction
Deviate suddenly from the straight or direct course that you're on okay, so when you are in a car
It's a perfect illustration. You're in a car and a squirrel runs out in front of your car
And you instinctively don't want to kill that sweet innocent baby little squirrel right and you swerve out of the way
You know in driving they teach you not to do that though
Did you know that if you swerve out of the way to not hit that squirrel?
You you could swerve into a tree and kill yourself and everybody in the car with you, okay?
So what they teach you is just you know hit the gas
baby squirrel
you know I think I
Don't think I think I might have hit a squirrel a couple weeks ago
I wasn't sure but I did swerve I was on a side road
So I was like no baby squirrel, but I I remember one time sure was it a dog that I hit
Or something I think it was
So we're going on the highway, and I was always taught don't don't swerve out of the way
You know, but I did try to slow down, but it was just too late. I clipped the back of his legs
He was on the highway
I mean it he just jumped out in front of me out of nowhere
But they teach you not to do that and the Bible here is saying that
Some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
Jangling and so that's not a good thing to swerve for vain jangling is not a good thing
and
So what is vain jangling vain means to producing no result? It's useless. It's something
That's just vanity okay, and
In Middle English it means to talk to talk excessively a jangling means to talk excessively or noisily
It's from the old French word jangler of unknown origin, okay?
So I guess it's just some made-up word from times past that we don't know exactly where it came from
but it means to make or cause to make a ringing metallic sound typically a
discordant one so something like this
Does anybody get annoyed when someone just plays with their keys they just you know that's vain jangling
Waiting for someone to wake up here all right
It's annoying right vain jangling is annoying. It's empty
It's just it's something that that that annoys people right that's and it annoys God
Okay, and it says right here that let's see
Desiring to be teacher look at verse 7 again. It says desiring to be teachers of the law
understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm
so
There's there seems to be a real problem in these last days with this particular problem of vain jangling
empty
Speaking bringing up stuff that doesn't matter bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with your walk with Christ
Bringing up stupid foolish questions and talking about things that you shouldn't be talking about
that's what it is and
You know people get turned aside from stuff like that. We've seen it happen a lot lately have we not
You know what you know someone's toys with the idea of modalism next thing you know you have a Baptist
Sect of modalists a
Huge one I mean that's what vain jangling could get and that's what?
People creeping off into corners of a church and talking about stupid things that they shouldn't be talking about can cause
People falling away people going into false doctrine oneness flat earth
Nephilim
You know that there's 450 foot tall angels back that that fallen demons
You know married human wives, and you know that's ridiculous
The Mandela effect you know sometimes you'll start you know I was someone was reading
Something last night, and they they said the word wrong, and they looked down and corrected themselves
Sometimes you can think the Bible says something because maybe you heard it on a movie or something like that
But you'll you'll quote something wrong well the Mandela effect
Basically says that you know someone changed the King James Bible and the Lord's Prayer used to say something different
and you know what was a
What's the this the atom smasher the atom smasher that supposedly made it was?
CERN
CERN supposedly made the Mandela effect okay, so CERN is that super machine or whatever in Sweden anyway?
It's just foolishness is what it is
Or saying that drinking alcohol is something that Christians ought to be doing
That's another false doctrine, and you can sit and people will say well. It says that Jesus made water into wine
Yeah, every drunk believes that don't they you know not that wasn't alcoholic wine every drunk wants to say Jesus
Made water to one. I'll just drink as much wine as I want that's not what it's talking about
Jesus wasn't gonna make more wine so everybody could get more drunk when he says drunkenness is wickedness, right?
Not even to look at wine
alcoholic wine the Bible says
So turn over to 2nd Peter chapter 1 or 2nd Peter chapter 2 excuse me
2nd Peter chapter 2 the Bible says that there will be false prophets that creep in among us
okay, but there will be false prophets and
Someone brought that up last night that they'll surely be among you surely
You know so surely means for sure right?
2nd Peter 2 1 says this, but there were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers
among
You who privately shall bring in damnable heresies?
Even denying the Lord that bought them and bring them upon themselves Swift
destruction and many shall follow their pernicious ways
By reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of it says many shall follow
Doesn't say a few says many
Shall follow so why is it so important to safeguard our churches against this kind of junk?
Because many false prophets will come there will be false teachers among you there will be false prophets that come in to this church
And other churches they've already corrupted a bunch of other churches
We've had a good run here, but they're gonna come
so
Turn over to Jude
Turn over to Jude. I was gonna say chapter one. There's only one chapter. I guess it is chapter one the only chapter
second to the last book of the Bible the book of Jude
Jude 1 3 says this beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation
It was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you should earnestly
Contend for the faith which was once
Delivered unto the Saints see we do need to fight for right doctrine
We do need to fight for the right salvation
You know if someone's preaching a bunch of watered-down junk about salvation it needs to be called out
We believe that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone, and that once you believe in him you get eternal life
It's not from repenting of your sins. It's not from following after Jesus
It's not from taking up your cross and following after him. It's not by living the golden rule
It's not by keeping the Ten Commandments
It's by faith in Christ alone, right?
I get so tired of that junk. It's salvation is only by faith
Okay
Jude 1 4 says this for there are certain men crept in unawares
Faithful word Baptist Church knows that now don't they and it's been happening there for a long time
But I mean who would have thought in a million years. It would have been Garrett Kershway
you know
But the Bible says they'll creep in and they just plant themselves, and you know they can stay with you for a long time
And they creep in they and they and they get footholds in the church
And then when someone sees a pillar of the church fall to false doctrine like that
Then it can drag more people away because they're like well if that guy he's really smart
Or he's really strong in the faith if he thinks that that's true well
Maybe it is true, and then that drags more people out, right?
It says certain men crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to this condemnation
Ungodly men turning the grace of God of our God of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord
Jesus Christ
So what modalism does is it denies the truth of who God is that's another God
It's another Jesus that they believe in it's just like the Mormons
see the Mormons believe that Jesus and and God the Father are two different gods and
That's just not the case. There's one God
But we believe in the Trinity at this church right the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost and these three are one
That's what we believe here
so
You know and then that's what modalism will teach is that they're just the oneness that they all became and Jesus is just
The only that there's only one God and his name is Jesus
That's what they say they teach a Jesus only baptism, and that's not what we believe here
So but that's what vain jangling gets you it gets a bunch of people
Hanging out at somebody's house talking about a bunch of garbage that they shouldn't be talking about
Believing starting to teach things against what the church believes when you get into that zone
You're in the danger zone with me, and I'm gonna mark you and I'm gonna and I'm gonna mark that person in my mind
so
it says
Well, let's see but but not everybody that jangles is a false prophet
Okay, not every person that vain jangle. I've vain jangled before you know everybody gets some little pet doctrine
They're like no you look at this. You know and you and you look at you see something that maybe somebody else doesn't see
Right and it happens to everybody and you start talking about stuff
But it can get out of control it can get out of control and once it's going against the teachings of the church
Of what we officially believe here as a church, and you're teaching it to other people then you're out of line
And you're you're under my microscope at that point
So once you hear an admonition to not do this in the Word of God you should cut it out
Just cut it out completely
This is where vain jangling comes in people that desire to be teachers the law
Or of the Bible and they ramble and teach on things that they don't really understand
They don't understand because maybe they haven't even read their Bible one time all the way through and they're sitting there teaching
Hey, this is wrong. We shouldn't be doing this. It's like and look this books older than all of us, right?
So and I'm not saying just because someone's older that they understand the Bible better
But older in the faith is a different story
You know someone say from day one is it gonna know as much as someone's been saved for 20 years if they've been reading
their Bible, okay
So turn over to Proverbs chapter 17
Proverbs chapter number 17
Proverbs 17 verse 27
Proverbs 17 verse 27 the Bible reads he that hath knowledge
Spareth his words
He that hath knowledge spareth his words and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit
Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise and he that shut at his lips is esteemed a man
of understanding so even a fool even someone is totally stupid
When they're whole when they don't talk
They're counted as wise because they're not saying stupid things out of their mouth, right?
And that's the saying so vain so vain jingling could be the same thing
You start talking about things that you fully don't understand and the next thing, you know, you're off into false doctrine
You're often to believe it in 450 foot tall Giants
You're watching YouTube videos and saying see they found the bones over, you know
Look, they the archaeologists are
But those are doctored pictures people don't believe that garbage
So some people just love to talk about
Things that they have no real that have no real significance in our Christian faith
Even if the flat earth is true, what difference does that make?
Really? What does that have something to do with your attorney? Does that have something to do with your salvation?
You know, what difference does that make really? It doesn't make any difference
So why argue and try to convince people of something that you can't prove?
you know, you can't prove that and
Don't even tell me don't try to get me into a room with the lights off
With a little flashlight trying to show me how the flat earth Sun works. Okay
Don't do that because I'm just gonna tell you to
Go home
Quite frankly though a lot of this is is young unmarried men that seem to be the biggest janglers of all
You know and or just young men in general, you know, you can start getting some zeal you start getting some
You know, but you you get the zeal, but you don't have the knowledge with the zeal
And you get zealous and you start fighting with people about things that you don't fully understand
That's not a good place to be young men. You know, I just want to admonish you to not be like that
And I want you to admonish you not to be like that in this church because then you're gonna draw my ire
What you don't want to do, okay, I'm bigger than you I'm just kidding I'm bigger than everybody
But so women fall into gossip men fall into vain jangling that's that's what I see
that's what I've seen in all the churches I've ever been in and
You know, it's it's it's something that needs to be nipped in the bud
I wouldn't be preaching about it
I didn't think it was important if I haven't seen people that I've known for years fall because of stuff like this
I wouldn't need to preach about it, but apparently it needs to be preached about so it's actually a serious thing
It's something that needs to be addressed turn to Romans chapter 16
Romans chapter 16
Romans chapter 16 look at verse 17 the Bible says now I beseech you brethren
Mark them which cause divisions and
Offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and what avoid them
Avoid them so people that are causing divisions within the church
Those are people that you need to mark and you need to avoid them. That's what it says
So it says the 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
So these people that that want to cause the vision
This is more than likely a false prophet that does that or someone that creeps in and as a false teacher
And they have good words
You know who's who's reads the Bible better than Dominique Davis that you know of
Now he's got good words doesn't he he's got fair speeches. You know people that really speak well
They talk really well, and they're just like they draw people in like a magnet
Those are the people that and I'm not saying to be leery of I'm just saying that the Bible says that they're they have fair
speeches right and
That they are serving themselves
So don't go around teaching doctrine in secret. That's in our church that we don't believe
okay, don't do that and
you know I would hope that someone would come and tell me if someone's doing that to an excessive amount because
You know obviously you guys can talk about stuff. I'm not saying don't talk. You know secret police turn them in or something like that
We're not the Gestapo here all right
But you should understand what we believe if you've been going here for a little bit of time
You know what we believe about most things and if you don't know maybe you should ask
If you don't know when you're talking about a bunch of junk that you shouldn't be
Maybe you should come ask but see people don't like to do that because they know they're gonna get
Rebuked about it. They're gonna get reproved about it. They're gonna get corrected, so that's why people do it
That's why the vain janglers continue to jangle their way through the church and tell other people a bunch of junk that isn't true
Now again, I'm not saying that people that vain jangle are always someone that's not saved
I'm not saying that but there are people that are unsaved that do do that
And they're doing it for a purpose because they want to drag people away from the body of Christ
So here's some things I've heard about lately
Multiple wives is it okay to have multiple wives is it adultery, or is it not adultery, okay?
Now I just want to I just want to show you something from the Bible look at Genesis chapter 2
Look at Genesis chapter 2 is it a sin to have multiple wives well the Mormons don't believe that
You know, but they got shut down by the US government the government said you're not gonna marry multiple wives
So they have to go off into these
Communes or whatever and do it in secret or whatever
So in the Bible there, it's true that people married multiple wives David had multiple wives Solomon had
700 wives and 300 concubines how'd that work out for Solomon though, but it worked out good
Anytime you see a man with multiple wives in the Bible you see problems that arose from it
Rachel and Leah you know Rachel. You know he got the surprise of his life on his on his wedding day, right?
Jacob got the surprise of his life, and he ended up having to work seven more years to get the wife that he asked for
so
Genesis 22 or 222 says and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made
He a woman and brought her unto the man and Adam said now
This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh
She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man therefore shall a man
How many men is that?
One a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife
Right and they shall be one flesh
Okay, there's two people right they become one flesh
They become married does it say a man shall take his wives
No, it says wife
Now turn over to Mark chapter 10
This is how you smash the jangling right here the Bible
And look if you've jangled before I'm not mad at you God's not mad. I'm just kidding
I'm not mad at you
But I just want to help people to understand that there is a reason why we don't do that
Okay, Mark chapter 10 look at verse 2
Says the Pharisees came to him and asked him is it lawful for a man to put away his wife
Tempting him and he answered and said unto him
what did Moses command you and they said Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement and
To put her away and Jesus answered and said unto them for the hardness of your heart
He wrote you this precept, but from the beginning of the creation of God
God from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female for this cause
Shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife
That's all those are singular, right?
All right, and they twain that means two shall be one flesh
So then they are no more twain
But one flesh what God hath joined together let not man put asunder
and in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter and he said unto them whosoever shall put away his wife and
Marry another committeth adultery against her and if a woman shall put away her husband and be married to another she
Committeth adultery. That's what the Bible says. It says one man one woman. Okay
That's what it says it doesn't say multiple wives
So the perfect plan of God the way that God designed marriage is one man and one woman, right? Okay
So it doesn't say multiple wives
So when they took multiple wives, they were not doing that because God told them to do it
They were doing it because they wanted to do it
All right, and so if you're married to another woman that becomes not it's not adultery
It's not adultery because
You're married. So otherwise Solomon would have been called a fornicator
So a fornicator has has like girlfriends or whatever on the side or that would be an adulterer
Right, then you'd be an adulterer. So they would take wives and then they became there
They were married to them
But just because they did it didn't mean that's what God wanted them to do
Because his original plan was one man one woman
So, I mean to say that it's God's just okay with it
I don't think he's just okay with it
But he doesn't call it fornication and he doesn't call it adultery because you are actually married to that person. It's not right
But it isn't you know it so it would have be sinned to do that
I think it I think it probably is sin
But I you know, or at least it's not part of God's perfect plan. How about that?
All right, so
So how about vows versus swearing? I've heard this one come up coming up a lot, too
You think I don't hear things that are going on in our church. You're wrong. I do I hear it
So vows versus swearing our wedding vows a sin our wedding vows a sin
Well, we just had a wedding here last week and they vowed to each other
They were gonna be together for the rest of their life
Okay, how long are you supposed to be married to your spouse for?
Till death do us part right, okay, so when you're saying hey, I'm gonna. I'm gonna be with you till death do us part
What's wrong with that?
What is wrong with saying that turn to Numbers chapter 30?
Turn to Numbers chapter 30
There is a difference between vowing a vow and swearing on something there is I'm gonna show it to you right here
Numbers chapter 30 verse 2
Says if a man vow a vow unto the Lord or swear an oath to bind his soul
With a bond he shall not break his word
He shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth
Now he's vowing a vow to the Lord saying hey, I'm gonna do this or I'm gonna do that
He's telling God. I'm promising God is a solemn a vowels like a solemn promise
Excuse me okay now look at Matthew chapter 5. This is where people get messed up Matthew chapter 5
Matthew chapter 5 verse 34 the Bible says this, but I say unto you swear not at all
Neither by heaven for it is God's throne
Nor by the earth for it is his footstool neither by Jerusalem for it's the city of the great king
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head
Because thou canst not make one hair white or black, but let your communication be yay yay
That means yes, yes
Nay, nay that means no no for whatsoever is more than that than these cometh of evil
Do you notice the difference between what one one and the other is that one is a vow and one is swearing or putting?
You know like putting it on something. That's what it is. I put that on my head that I'm telling the truth
It's like when you go to court, and you have to swear you're sworn in
Right there's people put their hand on the Bible and say I swear to tell the truth and nothing
But the truth so help me God
Right Christians. They'll say do you do so affirm because you're not supposed to say
Yes, or you know I swear
Right so that's biblical you're not supposed to swear on the Bible. You're not supposed to swear
I just put that on heaven. I put that on God's throne
I put you know so but when you guys took your vows did pastor minutes say
Hey
Put that on something
Hey, put that on your head Dylan your day all your hairs turn white and fall out if you if you break your vows
Did he say that?
No, so here's the thing
Vowing a vow it says that you're supposed to keep your word right you're just saying hey
I'm gonna do this Dylan and Jasmine were in front of this whole congregation
Saying hey, we're gonna be together for the rest of our lives. I promise to obey
I promise to you know whatever to take care of each other and sickness and health and poverty and wealth
Tell death to us part whatever. I can't remember everything so
When he's an old decrepit man no
I'm just kidding, but so there is a difference
saying that you swear upon the altar and
You know which we don't have an altar here, but say you're swearing on something is
Different than than promising to marry to keep true to someone and to be with them for the rest of your life
It is different
Okay, and if you can't see that the why would they use different words then?
It's not the same word all right
So is it okay to beat your wife yes or no?
Yeah, or nah
It's not okay to beat your wife
All right, and I just want to show you something real quick from God's Word look at Ephesians 5 22
Good grief
Ephesians 5 22 says this
Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord
For the husband is head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church
And he's the savior of the body therefore as the church is subject unto Christ so let the wives
Be to their own husbands in everything no doubt about it. You're supposed to submit to your husband's wives
There's no doubt about that
Says husbands love your wives
Even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water
By the word that he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing
But that it should be holy and without blemish
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies
He that loveth his wife
Loveth himself so question to the question man
Do you beat yourself?
Do you beat yourself? I mean are you supposed to are you commanded to beat yourself in the in the Word of God anywhere?
Catholics beat themselves don't they they whip themselves in the back, and they do all that kind of stuff
But it says right here so men ought to love their wives as their own bodies
Okay for no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourished and cherished it
Even as the Lord the church for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they too shall be one
Flesh this is a mystery, but I speak concerning Christ in the church
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife
Even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband, so there's roles in marriage
Okay the husband's supposed to love the wife
Well obviously the wife should love the husband right, but there is roles in marriage, but I don't see where it says
beat your wife
anywhere I
See that it says take care of your wife like you would take care of your own body and nobody beats themselves up guys
Maybe brother Scott beats himself up every once in a while, but you know I don't think so
He's like no
When he was Catholic no, I'm just kidding
But
Here's some more sound advice from the book of Timothy all right turn to 2nd Timothy 2 14
I was just covering a couple things that I've heard that it's like
That's vain jangling guys. I mean that's you know single guys
Young guys you know you come up with some weird stuff sometimes, but you know
I just I had to shut a couple things down there real quick
anyway
2nd Timothy 2 14 says of these things put them in remembrance charging them before the Lord that they strive not
About words with no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers
Study to show thyself approved unto God
So let's look at verse 14 again of these things put them in remembrance charging them before the Lord
That they strive not about words to no profit would that be the flat earth
Would that be
Oneness would that be the Nephilim would that be I mean I'm just naming these dumb doctrines that have just come up lately
But you know would that be you know I don't know just flat earth. I mean come on man
Anyway, I mean it's interesting. I got interested in I would just want to see what it was all about and got involved
I was like okay. This isn't true
Okay, but even if it was
It's still nothing that I'm ever gonna preach about
You know I hope I never have to preach about that because then you know we're really close to the end, but anyway
Says study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth
Look if you want to if you want to be smart if you want to know the Bible
Study to show thyself approved unto God you don't have to study to show yourself approved unto each other
So it says a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth, but shun
Profane and vain babblings for they will increase for they will increase unto more ungodliness
so
profane and vain
Babblings that'd be the same as vain jangling right. It's the same thing. There's this stuff
That's just as vanity. You don't need to have that garbage in your life all right
And anybody that you know you guys know what I'm talking about right just stuff that is of no profit
Verse 17 says and their word will eat as doth a canker of whom is Tyler Baker and
Garrett Kirchway, I mean
Hymenaeus and Philetus excuse me. I got those words mixed up there real quick who concerning the truth have erred
Saying that the resurrection has passed already and overthrow the faith of some see
It's just little dumb things like this like seeing all the resurrections already happened
You know or Jesus is coming in 1914 Charles Taze Russell. You know or 1916 or 1917 or
1918 or 1921 or what I don't know although he had a whole bunch of different ones and finally they just stopped saying
What you know he just finally just stopped giving days. I think he died finally, but anyway
It's those kind of things that can overthrow people's faith because people are weak
They forget they don't read the book
You need to read the book. You know you need to be rooted
Built up and established in the faith all right
So it says verse 19 nevertheless the foundation of God's stand is sure having this seal the Lord knoweth
Them that are his and let everyone that name at the name of Christ apart from iniquity
See God knows the ones that are his all right
We don't always know there's not a little sign that says saved on people's heads that you can you know?
Get a black light on them, and oh they are saved
It doesn't work like that you know all we know is the testimony from someone's mouth
What do they say they believe and sometimes people that creep in they want to lie about what they believe?
Because in order to creep into our church
You're gonna have to say that you you're gonna have to go so you know you go so winning you have to
Priest the right gospel you know
There's lots of things that they'll have to do to chameleon themselves into this church
So they have to be real slick, and that's what we're seeing so
Looking verse 20 it says put in a great house
there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth and
Some to honor and some to dishonor if a man therefore purged himself from these
He shall be a vessel into honor sanctified meat for the Masters use and prepared unto every good work
And that was you know I should have used that one this morning. I was a good one
Flee also youthful lusts
but follow righteousness faith
Charity peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart, and it says but foolish and unlearned questions
Avoid knowing that they do gender strives, so this is an important an important verse right here
avoid
Foolish and unlearned questions avoid them because all they do is start fights
They do they start fights with people, and I've seen people fight. I'm like hey, what's going on over there
Oh nothing nothing. You know the young people fighting about some doctor that doesn't matter
You know what I mean? No black socks are the right socks
You know I don't know if that's that's probably not one of them, but it's usually Bible stuff
It's good that people are talking about the Bible. I like that, but just remember to avoid foolish questions and
Avoid
Them because they gender strife and says the servant of Lord must not strive, but be gentle into all men apt to teach
patient and meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if God paraventure will give them repentance to the
Acknowledging of the truth and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his
Will see the devil can take people captive at his will
Not Christians necessarily, but you know people can be taken captive by foolish and stupid doctrines, though
You know the devil can get a foothold with a with a false doctrine Christians can fall into false doctrine
They can just because someone falls into false doctrine doesn't mean they're an unsaved reprobate every time now if it's a damnable heresy
That's a different story if they're talking about a different kind of salvation. Yeah, that's a damnable heresy
The Trinity that's a damnable heresy you know
But not everything that you fall into that's a false doctrine is something that necessarily makes you an unsaved heretic reprobate, okay?
So we got to be careful throwing those terms out
Turn over to 1st Corinthians chapter 1 or no excuse me 1st Corinthians 8 1
1st Corinthians 8 1
I
Says now is touching things offered into idols we know
That we all have knowledge knowledge puff puffeth up, but charity edify
See when you get a whole bunch of knowledge really fast
And that's what happens a lot of times in churches like ours
You know you're you're into the preaching you're into the soul winning
And you just like get overload of sermons, and you're like oh, I know I want to know everything
I want to hear every single sermon preached
And then like you get this overload of knowledge
And then what I've seen a lot of times is that people get puffed up
And they start finding their own pet doctrines that they disagree with about and then I watched that person
Who I thought was a brother or I thought was a sister just totally completely turned against everything
So you got to be careful about getting too much knowledge too quick because you know the Bible says this line upon line
Precept upon precept you got to learn here a little there a little okay if you overload yourself
You know I'm sure some of you if you could would put a chip in your head
You could just download all the sermons right there right, but I hope probably not but anyway
The Bible says that charity edify, but knowledge puffeth up, and what does it mean to be puffed up?
Well you seem to say a puff marshmallow man before right
Okay, he's puffed up in me
So you don't want to get puffed up and thinking you're you're smarter than you really are better than you really are
You're the smartest person in the church. You know your Bible the best
That's that's a dangerous ground to be on you know if you start thinking that you're the the bees knees when it comes to the
Bible then you should really just say hey, I know nothing I
Really don't know anything because if you have that that thought in your mind
Then you're probably you know about ready to to go on the other side of things
So it says and if any man think that he knoweth anything he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know if
Any man think that he knoweth anything?
He knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know so that's what the Bible says you get puffed up
You don't know you really you think you know it all you don't know nothing, buddy
Turn to us
Colossians 2 18 we'll finish their
Colossians 2 18
Bet you thought this could be a long sermon didn't you?
Clauses to 18 let's finish here
Let no man beguile you of your reward in the in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels intruding
Into those things which he had not seen
Vainly puffed up in his fleshly mind
See we don't know a lot about angels the Bible doesn't really explain a lot about him
It says that they're ministering spirits to those heirs of salvation, right?
But we don't really know much more beyond that except for the sub a third of the angels
Fell in a rebellion with Satan we do know that
We know that Satan is an angel that's fallen. Okay. We know that angels appear and it seems like
People might even have possibly have an angel that watches over them when they're saved, okay?
Children it says that their angels always behold the father's face, you know, be careful what you do to children
so
But but we don't really know a lot because the but you know the Bible
Right here is saying intruding into those things which he has not seen anybody seen an angel
You guys seen one lately what they look like brother Timo. Oh, he hasn't seen one
Says intruding in those things which he has not seen
Vainly puffed up in his fleshly mind if you start thinking that you know about the 450 foot tall
Nephilim Giants that never says that in the Bible anywhere
It just says that there were Giants in the earth in those days. Hey, there's Giants in the earth today
Hello, you're looking at one right now
And I'm not even that tall I'm six I'm only six eight, okay
But it says and there were Giants after that also so they'll say that the flood destroyed all these
450 foot tall Nephilim angels, right
But then there were there was angels after there were there were some after that also
So that doesn't make sense
Just means that there was there was tall people then if you if you read the first books of Moses the first five books
What were they fighting in Canaan?
Giants
What who did David fight a giant how tall was he ten foot tall he wasn't 450 feet tall
Okay, it wasn't Jack and the beanstalk tall all right
So just be careful. You know don't get turned aside. Don't swerve it
You know don't look for the vain jangling squirrel and try to swerve out of the way, okay?
Keep your lines straight. You know let's focus on the main things in this church. Which is soul winning and
hard preaching and
Edification of the of the Saints you know don't turn aside and all this junk and you know I just want to
Admonish you for this or to this
All this garbage
Heresy that's being put up on YouTube right now concerning this one this stuff
I would just tell you this just avoid it
Just stop watching it
Because you don't want to get sucked into something like that like that
You know someone might you know what their fair speeches, and they're good words. They might suck you into it, too
So why are you watching these false prophets quit watch just quit watching it
It's garbage you know all it's gonna. Do is suck you in to something. You don't want to be sucked into
It's vain jangling
You know let them be anathema, right?
If you get caught up in it
If you see if you're yourself or in a situation
This is this is how you get out of it. You just walk out of the conversation. I
Don't want to talk about this
Then end of the story okay, and then come and tell me and I'll come no
Come and tell me tell me all your secrets, and I'm just kidding all right, so that's all I got for tonight
Hopefully everybody has a great week. Let's pray Lord
We thank you so much for the scriptures Lord and Lord the clear instructions in the Bible Lord
We thank you for the Son of God who came and died for us Lord pray that you'd bless watch over Anthony's
Grand Grandpa right now Lord as he's supposed to be passing on
Pray that you'd give Anthony the strength to reach out to his grandfather one more time before he slips off into eternity
Pray be with his heart right now and Lord
Bless his congregation and everybody as they go home take them home safely in Jesus name amen
