Amen. Alright, if you want to take your hymnals, we're going to turn to page number 343. Page
All right, excellent seeing everybody at this time we will have our announcements.
All right.
Good morning everybody.
Welcome to Sherf Foundation Baptist Church.
Our verse of the week is Luke 16, verse number 10,
where the Bible says,
he that is faithful in that which is least
is faithful also in much,
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
That's Luke 16, verse number 10.
We're here at our morning service time.
We obviously have our Sunday evening service time,
which Brother Jason is gonna be preaching,
is gonna be preaching for at least,
I would imagine, a month until Brother Paul comes back.
So thank you for volunteering to take all those slots.
I appreciate that.
And then on Wednesday,
we have our Wednesday evening Bible study,
which we're going to be at First Corinthians 3 part 3,
which is crazy even to me because I've never
done a three-parter before,
but I didn't think I would ever be able to do a three-parter.
But that's a testament to being able to
dive deep into stuff a little bit.
Which has been a growth for me because I said that before but it's really true
You're gonna think back to it. I'm like I was literally struggling to get like 30 minute sermon sometimes like I'm like all nervous
I'm like just typing out like a ton of pages, but it's not an issue. You guys can stop praying for me
I've been blessed in the area now
We have our salvation still our praise report
For August we have a 12 salvation so far and then we had
Six salvation in September which brings us to a total of 77. Did we have anybody out so I'm sorry to either no
Yeah, so that's the the right total 77 so praise God for that and then our upcoming events
We have the Cheney so one a marathon
Which is now at the right time so October 4th. It's usually at the end of the month, but we delayed it one week
So if you're interested in that, you can contact Brother Ryan, and then we have our home school
day on October 14th, which is going to be at 11am here at the church building, and you
can RSVP with my wife, who's not in here, but in theory, I don't even know what we're
doing that day, so we'll figure out, though, home school day, what is a home school day?
She's probably got some details on that.
October 26th, though, we have our church picture day,
so my wife will also be doing photos for anybody.
If you're a single person or if you have a family,
they'll be good for Christmas cards or any kind of holiday cards.
If you want a picture of yourself, I guess, you can frame it at home.
This is me right here.
But yeah, if you're interested in that, we'll be doing that the 26th.
Kyle will bring your camera to church.
And then we have our kids memory verse Psalm 46 verse number one, which is God is our refuge
and strength, a very present help in trouble.
So if you kids want to get a piece of candy from my wife as well, you can recite that
verse to her or any trusted adult really here.
I was gonna go into the prayer quest, but I forgot
because now the anniversaries are on the back
and the birthdays are on the back.
We don't got any birthdays right this moment though, right?
We sang to Callie already,
but we did skip Brother Daniel and Miss Marina
and me and my wife too,
because they got moved to the back,
which was jarring for all the announcements guides up here.
But yeah, we're seeing a happy anniversary
to Brother Daniel and Miss Marina.
How long you guys been married for now?
Ten years so we just got seven so I think what do you point now?
Who's that their anniversary to oh?
Man, I wasn't even looking at that one. What's today the 28th? Oh, wow, okay?
Yeah, so we're seeing happy anniversary to everybody in this room all at once one time right now, okay?
Sing it with me if you would on the first
Happy anniversary to you. Whoo. Happy anniversary to you
Happy anniversary, God bless you, happy anniversary to you.
So congratulations to everybody with that, we'll go into our prayer request.
Dear Father God, thank you so much for this.
All right, if you want to take your Bibles, we're going to turn to Psalm number 15
That's Psalm number 15
That's Psalm number 15 Lord who shall abide in thy tabernacle
Who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
He that sweareth to his own herd and changeeth not,
He that puteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh
Thank you everybody.
Brother Angle, would you please pray for the offering?
Yeah.
Thank you so much for everything you do for us, God.
Thank you so much for everything that you increase us with,
God.
We just thank you that we had the opportunity
to give you anything at all, God,
because we know that every good gift comes from you, God.
We know that we consist by you, God.
And I just pray that you would bless everybody
in this room spiritually.
And I just pray that you'd help the service
to continue to go through.
Do you say pray?
Amen.
Good morning everybody and welcome to Sher Foundation Baptist Church if you could go ahead and take your bibles and turn to 2nd Samuel chapter 15
2nd Samuel chapter 15 and here at Sher Foundation Baptist Church. We read the entire chapter before the preaching
2 Samuel chapter 15, the Bible reads,
And it came to pass after this that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses,
and fifteen men and fifty men to run before him.
And Absalom rose up early and stood beside the way of the gate.
And it was so that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment,
Then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou?
And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Absalom said unto him, See, Thy matters are good and right.
But there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
Absalom said moreover,
O that I were made a judge in the land,
that every man which hath any suit or cause
might come unto me, and I would do him justice.
And it was so that when any man came nigh to him
to do him obeisance,
he put forth his hand and took him and kissed him.
And on this manor did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment.
So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
And it came to pass after 40 years that Absalom said unto the king,
I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed unto the Lord in Hebron.
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Gesher in Syria, saying,
If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem,
Then I will serve the Lord.
And the king said unto him, Go in peace, so he arose and went to Hebron.
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying,
As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say,
Absalom, Reyneth, and Hebron.
And with Absalom went 200 men out of Jerusalem
that were called, and they went in their simplicity,
and they knew not anything.
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gila Knight,
David's counselor from his city,
even from Gailo, while he offered sacrifices.
And the conspiracy was strong.
for the people increased continually with Absalom.
And there came a messenger to David saying,
the hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem,
Arise and let us flee, for we shall not else escape from Absalom.
Make speed to depart.
lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever, my lord, the king shall appoint.
And the king went forth, and all his household after him.
And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
with the king and the king went forth and all the people after him and
tarried in a place that was far off and all his servants passed on beside him
and all the Sherithites and all the Pilithites and all the Gittites 600 men
which came after him from Gath passed on before the king then said the king to
Wherefore, goest thou also with us, return to thy place, and abide with the king, for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go wither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren, mercy and truth be with thee.
And Etai answered the king and said,
As the Lord liveth, and as my Lord the king liveth,
Surely in what place my Lord the king shall be,
Whether in death or life, even there also thy servant be.
And David said to Etai, go and pass over.
And Etai, the Getite, passed over, and all his men,
and all the little ones that were with him.
and all the country wept with a loud voice,
and all the people passed over.
The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron,
and all the people passed over
toward the way of the wilderness.
And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him,
bearing the ark of the covenant of God.
And they set down the ark of God,
and Abiyathar went up until all the people
had done passing out of the city.
the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find
favor in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and show me both it and
his habitation. But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee, behold, here I am,
here am I, let him do to me as Seymoth good unto him.
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art now thou a seer?
Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimeas, thy son, and Jonathan,
the son of Abayathar.
See I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify
me.
Zadok therefore, and Abayathar, carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem.
And David went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot.
And all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.
David said, oh Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of a hit the fill into foolishness.
And it came to pass that when David was come to the top of the Mount.
where he worshiped God, behold, who shy, the archite, came to meet him with his coat,
rent, and earth upon his head, unto whom David said, If thou passeth on with me,
then thou shalt be a burden unto me. But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom,
I lost my spot, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king, as I have been thy father's servant hitherto,
so will I now also be thy servant. Then mayest thou, for me, defeat the council of Ahithophel,
and hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiyathar the priest? Therefore, it shall be that what things soever thou shall hear out of the king's house,
Thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abayathar the priest.
Behold, they are with them, their two sons,
Ahimaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abayathar's son.
And by them ye shall send unto me
everything that ye can hear.
So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city
and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Brother Daniel, could you pray for the service?
And then you guys are there.
In 2 Samuel 15, we're gonna look in at verse number 12
where the Bible says,
and Absalom sent for a hithil, the Gileonite,
David's counselor from his city,
even from Gillo, while he offered sacrifices
and the conspiracy was strong
for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Tell them my sermon this morning
is not everything is a conspiracy.
Let's pray.
Do you have other God?
Thank you so much for this wonderful day.
Thank you so much for what you do.
Everybody that came to church this morning to God to hear your word preach God
I just pray that you please
Help me deliver the message well you put on my heart God because I know without you I can't do anything God
I just pray that you'd help me to have a clear train of thought God and help me to
Have some of the brain fog that I have right now remove God and just pray that you would
Help me to preach words that be edifying for everybody God
And I just pray that you'd keep me from saying things you don't want me to say God and that you'd help me to say
What you do want me to say and just now pray amen
Title of my sermon again, like I said, is not everything is a conspiracy.
We're here in 2 Samuel chapter 15.
I chose passage, excuse me, of Scripture to start out in
because this is the first mention of the word conspiracy in the Bible.
Before this, the word, like, conspired and, you know,
like a couple other mentions of that kind of same kind of word is used.
But this is the first time the word is used that is just exactly conspiracy.
Contrary to the title of this sermon, which is not everything is a conspiracy theory,
this actually is a real conspiracy right here that the Bible tells us about.
This is a legit conspiracy that Absalom had who was one of David's sons to overthrow
him and take his role to be the king of Israel.
All you need to kind of know about him is that he's like a worthless person.
Like he is like a terrible person through and through in the Bible.
The only good thing, per se, that Absalom does is he kills his brother for forcing himself upon his sister.
But outside of that, Absalom is just like a terrible character in the Bible through and through.
Just spoiled brat, like...
Because like in these verses, if you see from this story,
he goes to overthrow his dad,
but not only does he try to go and overthrow his dad,
he actually tries to have his dad killed later on.
And if you continue to read through the book
of Second Samuel, and it's just amazing to me like,
To put this into perspective of how wicked this is I'll just read for you guys
You don't have to go there you guys as a matter of fact can go to Ephesians 6 11 right now
Ephesians 6 verse number 11
You don't need to keep your finger here because I don't think I'll come back to this passage of scripture
But to put this in perspective of how wicked this is for Absalom to do this
Exes 2115 says this it says and he that smited his father or his mother shall surely be put to death and
Exes 2117 says and he that cursed his father or his mother shall surely be put to death
The Bible says right here if you strike your parents, which means you hit your parents or you curse your parents
You should surely be put to death and people got to get
a little like that with crochet.
That's one of the verses that atheists sometimes will use.
And they'll be like, look at the Bible teaching bad things
right here, like, no, that sounds pretty good to me.
Because what kind of worthless person
strikes the parents that God has given them?
Unbelievable, like, the parents that, you know,
stayed up all night with you, that changed your diapers,
that breastfed you to go and strike them?
Disgusting is what God says and God agrees with me 100% on this because he says they shall surely be put to death
If we had a righteous government a kid that would strike their parents or they would curse their parents and it's not about cussing
They're talking about like wishing evil upon them like like I hope you get hit by a bus or something like that
Something crazy that they should be put to death and obviously if you compare scripture with scripture
This isn't talking about like when a little toddler smacks his you know parents on the face or something like that
It's about like a grown adult child trying to do this
So the Bible says that they should be surely put to death.
So if these two things are worthy of death,
how much more do you think that God thinks
that Absalom was wicked here?
When he not only tried to take the kingdom from his father,
but he also tried to kill his own father, David,
beyond abominable.
And I was just thinking about this,
as I was reading, like prepping for this sermon,
I was just like,
Seriously, when I say worthless, I mean that like I could never imagine a situation in
my life where first of all I would raise my voice and yell at my dad, let alone try to
strike one of my parents or curse them or something like that, like.
This is the generate behavior, worthless behavior,
and people get mad about this, but the people that do this,
the reason why God is saying to have them put the death
is that they are the scum of society.
They bring the whole society down.
These are the kinds of worthless people
that cause a bunch of danger and a bunch of harm in society.
But I'm more back on topic with this, is that Absalom,
what kind of uses this to show conspiracies,
people nowadays still do the same thing
that Absalom was doing, they whisper in the shadows,
they do things in secret to get their agenda pushed forward.
And I don't want you to think that conspiracies
are just some thing of the past,
as some people will pretend.
There's conspiracies I guarantee you that go on nowadays,
that we have no clue of.
And if you don't believe what I'm talking about with that,
because some of you, I think the word conspiracy,
because a lot of times it's usually like a conspiracy theory
has a negative connotation with it,
but some conspiracy theories are really dumb,
but there's some that I think are pretty valid.
And if you think this idea is kind of crazy,
look at what it says in Ephesians 6, 11,
where I had you turn it says this, it says,
put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Look what it says in verse 12, it says,
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The Bible says here, we're not just wrestling against flesh and blood as Christians,
we're fighting against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
and also wickedness in spiritual high places.
so it shouldn't surprise you that the devil has an agenda that he seeks to promote in this world
and he has from the beginning of time tried to interfere with, interfere excuse me with human
issues and this is most obviously seen in the book of Daniel because in the book of Daniel you
get to see a glimpse into the spiritual world where you know he's they're talking about Michael the
archangel and the devil like basically fighting the angels are having spiritual warfare that we
So we just realize as Christians that all the wickedness
and all the evil that we see,
sometimes it is flesh and blood,
but sometimes there is a deeper, darker motive
behind some of these things.
And that the agendas that we are given in this world,
you can't just trust them 100%
because where is this spiritual wickedness
according to these verses in high places?
What does that talk about?
Like the governments is what it's talking about.
So I believe according to these verses,
and I think if you're being honest with these verses,
Thinking that the devil has an agenda that he pushes in this world is not a crazy idea
And you see this nowadays you see this is why society is always on the decline because the devil is always working to push
His agenda in this world
But I'm kind of bringing this all up because again despite the title of my sermon
I just want you to understand that I don't think that all conspiracies are crazy. I don't think I mean
and they're not all created equal, that's for sure.
But there's some that I think that are legitimate
or that at least could be plausible.
The flat earth not being one of those things, okay?
That is not on this list.
That's stupidity manifest.
If you think that the earth is flat,
your IQ is probably also flat on that same graph, okay?
It's a dumb thing to believe.
But, I'm probably a little bit less conspiracy brain
than the average bear, maybe among our circles.
Like, I think the moon landing was real.
I don't, people say a bunch of stuff
and they'll say like the Van Allen radiation belts.
I don't care about none of that.
I think the moon landing was real, okay?
Now, I've done a little bit of research.
I haven't done like a deep dive on that
because I don't really care that much,
but I just think it's unbelievable.
Like, you're like, oh, all these scientists,
all these astronomers are just like in a conspiracy to lie
to say we're on the moon.
It doesn't make sense. Too farfetched to me.
But if you believe that, I'm not against you.
I don't hate you for that. It was whatever.
I think, well, maybe, I'm going to pause right there.
I'm not going to say what I'm going to say on the end of that, OK?
That's the way I pray.
I was like, don't let me say anything I don't want to say, OK?
There you go, right there.
I think the fluoride thing is kind of silly too.
I brought that up before.
I brought this all up in my Romans 14 sermon,
but I just, I think that's a little silly.
I understand fluoride in itself,
because I've worked for the water department by the way,
is dangerous, like in big quantities it is,
but they do have a science
to how they put these things in the water.
I wouldn't vote for it to be in the water,
but I don't think that there's some big conspiracy theory
by all these dentists to get together to destroy your teeth
so that they can fix your teeth, okay?
I just don't think it's believable.
I don't think it's true.
I'm a reverse conspiracy theorist on the essential oils and on natural medicine in the sense that I think it's a conspiracy to
Pretend that these things work because I really don't believe they do if you're all into the essential oils and all this stuff
I don't hate you. You can do your own thing. I'm just I
every time
I ever mess with any of that stuff, it never works.
It's always like, I just, like people talk about big pharma.
I'm like on crunchy pharma.
Like at least with big pharma,
they sell me a medicine that kills me,
but at least in the temporary time it works.
It like helps me with whatever ailment I have.
Crunchy pharma they sell me something that is just a placebo and then they stole my money. Anyways, I'm like
I'd rather just take the big farmers, but it's on that one
That's a little joke. And again, I'll just caveat that because I said I mentioned this in my Romans 14 sermon
If you believe any of those things, I do not care
I have nothing against you the only thing that I would care per se that someone believes so far would be the flat earth
I just think that's unbelievably dumb
Like if you're a flat earth or though we could still fellowship
you're gonna be at the opposite end of the table from me, okay?
You'll be like, you're over there, okay?
You're gonna catch a side-eye for that one,
and be like, what's going on?
Oh, yeah, the closet.
There we go.
That's funny.
I don't know, there's a couple other things I think
that are mainstream that are kind of silly too.
I'm not even gonna bring them up
because I don't want to hurt people's feelings.
One of these things that I was indifferent to,
and I'm only bringing this up
because of the sermon I preached in Seattle.
with the holocaust when I was bringing up Charlie Kirk in my Seattle sermon
because if you guys weren't if you didn't see it I preached a sermon titled
rest in peace Charlie Kirk up there but in that sermon I was explaining how
they make him out to be like he's some kind of Hitler and I was making the
comparison I was like okay let's compare these two people it's like Hitler
kills six million Jews then you have Charlie Kirk
debating people on college campuses is like,
these things are not comparable.
But when I was looking at everybody,
they were kind of like, huh?
And I was like, oh, it's because I said six million.
That's why they're focused on that number, like six million.
Like to me, I'm just like,
I don't even care about the numbers on that one.
And to me, it's just like.
If any of the Jews died in a holocaust, it's tragic,
so why would you make a big deal about the members
in the first place?
So you can be labeled anti-Semitic?
I just don't think that's a fight worth fighting on.
It's always been an estimate anyways.
The six million number is not like a flat,
it's an estimate that they think how many people died.
But people get worked up all that kind of stuff.
Again, that's kind of out in the weeds
a little bit for stuff.
I'm bringing this up to say that I don't believe,
I'm probably a little bit less conspiracy brain
than some people are on this topic,
but I do believe that conspiracies are real.
And we fight against more than just flesh and blood.
The devil has a will that he seeks to accomplish
on this earth, and we should be aware of that as Christians.
But not every conspiracy theory is created equally.
And so if you guys wanna go to Proverbs 14 verse number 15.
Proverbs 14 verse number 15 would initially gave me the idea to preach a sermon was seeing all this goofy stuff about Charlie Kirk
Like the conspiracies that they were bringing forth on this stuff. I just think it's art stupid. I just think they're ridiculous
I think they don't make any sense
But I don't want to just preach a sermon to just hobby horse on something that I don't agree with
The primary purpose of this sermon,
because as I thought about that more,
is to try to be edifying and show you
that believing things with no evidence is stupid
and it's harmful to people,
and that just believing things willy-nilly
is not good as a Christian.
And you guys are there in Proverbs 14, verse number 15.
I'll show you this from the Bible.
What the Bible says in Proverbs 14, 15, it says,
the simple believeth every word,
but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
In Proverbs, it uses these adjectives a lot
to describe people in a negative way.
If it's ever talking about a fool in Proverbs
or it's ever talking about someone that's simple,
you wanna do the opposite of what those kinds of people do.
And right here it says that a foolish person,
a simple person, of someone that's goalable,
they believe every word.
And this can be applied in a lot of ways.
The first one to apply this is in Ephesians 4, 14.
So go there if you would real quick.
Ephesians 4, verse number 14.
The first way I want to apply this is that simple people are carried about with every wind of doctrine.
Ephesians 4 verse number 14, we'll see what the Bible says there.
It says that we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine
by the slight of men and cutting craftiness whereby they lie and wait to deceive.
The Bible says here that it's like an attribute of like a child to just
believe things fullheartedly, like just very quickly, uh,
is what he's bringing up right here. Cause if you think about it with children,
they will believe things just on the spot.
You don't have to give them any kind of evidence. They'll just believe you.
Like you can convince a child that Santa Claus and the tooth fairy are real
like that. They don't need the studies to be like, what's your sources on this?
Right? Can't just believe things really fast.
I remember even when I was younger, convincing me and Josh,
I was just pranking them I think but I was like that land sharks were real thing not about pit bulls
It's talking about like real life like land sharks like sharks that are in the grass
Okay, and they were scared to go out in the lawn like all day, and I thought it was like the funniest thing
But I just bring that up because people,
children are very just easy to believe things
and just a flip-flop on what they believe on things
with no kind of evidence.
But as a Christian, this should not be how you are
when it comes to believing doctrine,
in the sense that you should not just receive
every doctrine that you hear hook, line, and sinker
and immediately believe it.
And a good example of this, go to Romans 12 verse number,
or excuse me, Romans 10 verse number 12,
Like obviously if someone shows you something from the Bible you should always believe what the Bible says
But the thing about the Bible too is that sometimes people twist how they present you something in the Bible
So you have to make sure that when someone is showing you something
It's not just out of context or it's not cherry-picked or something like that
But another example of this, that people, a belief that people will just take hook,
line, and sinker with no critical thought behind it, just like a half-baked argument behind it,
is the idea that we shouldn't call Jesus, Jesus, that we should call him Yeshua,
or one of these other names. They have a bunch of them like Yahasha, whatever,
whatever, they have a bunch of them like that. But here's the thing.
If you speak English, his name is Jesus and not as what you should call him.
If I'm speaking English to you guys, his name is Jesus.
That's what I'm going to call him.
If I'm speaking Spanish to you guys, I can call him Jesus, okay?
Russian is Jesus, yeah?
Jesus, that's the same thing in Greek right there, too.
So any of those things?
Whatever language I'm using...
I'll use the name of Jesus in that language,
but what I'm not gonna do is just randomly take
his Hebrew name and just insert it to my daily life
for no reason, because the name of Jesus in Hebrew,
which is Yeshua according to them,
is not above all these other languages.
Hey, we're all one in Christ Jesus in the New Testament
and the languages are too.
And if people have a problem with that,
they're just ignorant because the thing is,
is that the Bible, the New Testament is written in Greek.
And what the Bible refers to Jesus as
Jesus if you're reading Greek and in English, it's Jesus Christ. That's his name
And when people get into this idea
of trying to only call him Yeshua,
you should be wary because what they're trying to do
is like a backdoor Hebrew roots movement kind of thing.
They want to make his name important in Hebrew
so that they can get you on all these other
little dumb doctrines as well.
So they can get you to get circumcised
and to keep the Sabbath and to keep the feast days again.
That is their end goal.
So anybody that you hear that calls him Yeshua,
you should be wary of their teachings.
immediately, because what that tells you is that they're probably a Judaizer.
They're probably trying to bring you back into bondage like the Bible says in Galatians.
You guys are there in Romans 10 verse number 12 where it says,
for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich
unto all that call upon them on him. Excuse me. I've been on the depth about this a little bit
before, so I'm not going to kind of deep dive in this sermon right now.
Okay, I'm just kind of talking about ideas that are like not everything's a conspiracy.
So, but I think this fits very well because there's a conspiracy that basically teaches
that
People the name Jesus was crafted by like the Illuminati or whatever they have a bunch of random theories that don't make sense about it
But they'll say that the name Jesus is basically ripping off the name Zeus and that Jesus is just
What do they say about it exactly? I don't even know if I would use the right wording for it
But they say that Jesus derives his name from Zeus and so it's like a big conspiracy that you know
They got us to call him
Zeus so that I don't know the devil could have a laugh about it or something like that
Here's the thing about this, though, it's just wrong.
It's just blatantly wrong, okay?
Like, because they get this from this
with Jesus and Zeus, and Jesus, Jesus and Jesus.
They'll say, like, doesn't that kind of sound like Zeus?
Like, Jesus, and like, Zeus?
Like, well, not really, okay?
But if you're in Spanish,
because Spanish is pagan, okay?
Then it's like...
Then it's like hey Zeus like oh hey Zeus ah right there whoa what's up with all these
But they'll say, yeah, see it sounds like Jesus in Spanish. So that's pagan obviously
But it's like you should just realize words sound the same all the time and that doesn't mean anything
Tomato and potato sound the same but that doesn't mean that they're related anyway
You understand what I'm saying like plane and plane can be the same exact word and it means two different things like it's a nonsense
argument, but also it's nonsense because of the fact that this only kind of sounds similar in English
But in Greek, it's not so, because if you know the name Zeus,
in Greek, it's literally, I have it in my notes,
but you guys probably can't even see it.
It's a Z-E-U-S in Greek, is what it looks like,
and we just translate or write that over into English.
But when you pronounce his name in Greek, it's Zefs.
That's what Zeus' name is, Zefs, okay?
And, or another name he has is Theos.
But, I want you to compare the difference
that these sound like.
You have Zefs, that's Zeus,
and then you have Jesus, who is Isus.
or excuse me, yeah, Esus.
It's like, that's two different things.
The Esus only sounds similar to Zeus in Greek.
You understand what I'm saying right here?
Zefs is what his, Zeus's name is in Greek,
and Esus is what his name is in Greek.
It's the name of Jesus in Greek, excuse me.
Sorry, I'm a little jumbled on that.
Go to James one, verse number eight.
Hebrew James 1 verse number 8 to be clear on that one more time because I kind of was a little foggy brain on that
Zeus we transliterate it from the name Zeff's Zeff's is the name of Zeus in Greek. Yeah
And Jesus is a transliteration of Esus from Greek.
Zeus, or excuse me, Zeph's and Esus
does not sound the same though,
and that's where we get the original name from,
from Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is just a, Jesus is just a transliteration
of the name Esus, okay?
But again, yeah, I was talking about like the Hebrew
and you guys are going to James one verse number eight.
When I was talking about all that, you should just realize that the Hebrew language is not special in any way, shape, or form compared to any other language on the planet.
These languages are all the same, okay? God speaks every language. He invented languages.
So it's weird you like that's what the Muslims do like they'll be like to get the real meaning of the Quran
You have to read Arabic because that's what Allah wants us to read
But our God is so powerful that he's not just limited to one language
He speaks into every language and the name of Jesus is powerful not because it derives from the Hebrew language
But because it's the name that's above all names in every single language of this earth
It's not powerful because it's Jewish or anything like that. So it's silly
That comes from Jew worship, though,
and people wanting to make the Jews better than everybody else.
But it's not true in the New Testament.
But you guys are there in James 1, verse number 8.
Can I talk about from Ephesians about not being double-minded,
excuse me, not being cared about with everyone of doctrine?
You shouldn't just believe things willy-nilly that you hear,
because that's what people do with the Yeshua stuff.
They just hear that, and it sounds good,
and they don't do any kind of research past that.
And it's silly.
But you should also just realize that your core beliefs and your religion and your doctrine should not just be flip-floppy either.
It's just a terrible quote to have, especially as a man.
As a man, you're supposed to be like the anchor of your family.
You're supposed to be like the foundation of your family,
not just wishy-washy and flopping all over the place
when it comes to doctrine.
You're not just carried about with every wind of doctrine.
That's one of the biggest things that we can attribute to God
is that he says that he changes not.
He's a God that is the same yesterday, today, forever.
And so when, as a man, obviously we're not perfect.
So we will change from time to time.
But as a man, you should not just be cast about
with every winter doctrine, you should be stable.
It's a respectable quality that has as a man.
That's what other people are going to respect as well.
James 1-8, it says this, it says a double-minded man
is unstable in all his ways.
I think people will take this and be like,
well, are you saying that you shouldn't change your mind
about something when you're wrong about it?
It's not what the Bible is teaching you at all right here.
It's saying this.
It's saying that you should never just let your opinion be
something that just changes willy nilly though.
Which means if you just naturally think about it,
like it means this, that the beliefs that you have
should be built upon research that you already have
or proof that you already have.
You shouldn't just believe things
with no proof behind them.
And to believe something new,
there should be like a certain threshold of evidence
that someone has to give you to change your mind
on something like that.
Go to Proverbs 18, verse number 17,
Proverbs 18, verse number 17.
Proverbs 18, verse number 17 is where you guys are going.
Like if I was like thinking about an example of this,
like I'm trying to even just think,
I'll just use the remedy doctor,
because it's really easy to just think about
all the time ahead.
I have like a 99.9% belief in that belief.
If someone was going to convince me that that was wrong,
it couldn't just be like one unclear thing
somewhere else in the Bible.
You would need a pretty substantial mountain of evidence
to tip the scales back to where I'm like,
not fully believing that, right?
But if I just let one unclear thing dictate my beliefs,
then I am going to be unstable, then I am going to be double-minded.
I'm going to be switching from the Baptist to the Catholic to the Calvinist churches
and all these kind of things, which is just stupid.
And I feel sorry for people that are in situations like that where their husband is so unstable
that they're flip-flopping religions just on the daily.
Like new year, new religion, let's just change it up.
It's like unbelievable.
You guys are in Proverbs 18, verse number 17.
It's really crazy to see the flip-flopping people do sometimes though.
The same thing I want to bring about this is that you should realize that when it comes
to believing every word, this applies to disputes, to gossip, and to slander as well.
Proverbs 18, verse 17, it says,
This phrase is a phrase that Pastor Manez uses a lot in his sermons.
When he's talking about truth, he'll say like,
the truth is usually somewhere in the middle of things.
He's like, there's three sides of the story.
He's like, his side, her side.
He's like, and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
I found that to be very true in my life.
That like, people...
Whether they're trying to lie or not,
or maybe they just misremember things,
when a dispute happens, they just throw out a bunch of stuff,
whatever's in their mind.
The thing is that our mind can be kind of deceitful.
That's why you actually need two witnesses
to establish a matter, because your mind can deceive you
and it can trick you on things.
And so when it comes to this, you just
realize by hearing that that you can apply this a couple of ways
If your wife comes to you with a dispute with someone else,
or your kids come to you with a dispute with other children,
or your friend comes to you with a dispute with someone else,
as a church member, you should just realize that it's foolish.
It's simple to just believe everything
that they say, like that that's exactly what happened.
You just need to realize that you're biased for them,
and they're biased for themselves, yeah?
So it's a simple person that just takes everything
that they say and just like,
oh yeah, I believe you 100% honey,
because it's probably in the reality of things,
it's probably not the whole truth,
even if it's not meant to be a lie
when people tell you things like this.
And the same thing goes with, you know,
if you're hearing, you know,
like a rumor about someone else,
which by the way, the Bible says that, you know,
tail-bearing and slander, these are sins.
This is not something you should be doing.
But if you do hear something about someone else,
you should just realize that just cause someone tells you
a story about someone, or that they did this interaction,
or that they, you know, said this and that,
that's not always true.
Because only simple people believe every word
that someone tells them.
I've had people just lie up and down about me.
publicly from what I've seen, I'm just like,
they're just blatantly lying about stuff.
And then whenever that happens, I always just realize like,
lying is just such a common sin among people,
that people just make stuff up to prove a point,
to prove an argument.
And you should be careful because,
but just believing everything that's presented to you
is a simple attribute is what the Bible says.
You guys can go to Proverbs 10, verse number 18,
Proverbs 10, verse number 18.
This also true like when like if you said like
Which again you should not be doing but it like if you're like hey so and so said this about you
They said that you're a terrible parent. They said your baby's ugly
They said that you know, you don't know how to parallel park. It's like
That could be true, but you shouldn't just believe someone that's telling you that.
You should find out the other side of that story as well, is my point in this.
What they're saying could be true, and it could all be lies, because people manipulate
all the time.
Or people will try to get people to turn on someone else that they don't like, so they'll
make up stuff, or fabricate stuff, and add stuff to the story that's not true.
They'll embellish stories a lot of times.
Proverbs 10 verse 18 it says he that hideeth hatred with lying lips and he that uttereth a slander is a fool
And so I just say this to you the Bible says it's a foolish thing to slander about people
And if you're just repeating information that you have no proof about that you have no evidence behind you are
Slandering someone as what the Bible says. He just says you're a fool for doing that. Okay
First of all, you shouldn't just go to tail bear anyways because the Bible says that that's a wicked sin that that's an evil thing that
that people do, even though lots of Christians
enjoy doing that, unfortunately.
But on top of that, just repeating things
that you've heard about someone,
when you don't know that they're true,
or you haven't confirmed it with that person themselves,
is a slander, is what the Bible is teaching.
It's evil.
And you shouldn't be doing those things as a Christian.
Point, what I want you to understand from this point,
sermon point one, was that simple people
believe every word.
The second point, this is a very short point,
is that people believe things more easily
You guys are there you guys can go to where's the next one I got you going go to mark 13 verse number 32
Mark 13 verse number 32
People believe things more easily than they realize
Because a lot of times, if you break up a subject like this,
it'd be like, ah, you know, you've got something wrong
that you believe.
You have some fake news somewhere that you believe.
And people are like, no, no, no.
Not me.
I'm an independent thinker, brother.
It's like, no, you're really not, though, OK?
You're just not.
It's just it's impossible to just be completely independent
in this world.
You're always going to have a bias.
You can try really hard to get rid of it,
but it's just never going to go away completely.
But people, you know, the other reason I'm bringing this up is that people will just believe things
because they're repeated a lot of times and they think that something being repeated enough means that it's true in and of itself.
This is a good example of this nowadays that even people nowadays are brainwashed to believe that there's more than two genders
How did they do that because people just say it so much so much this new generation is just like of course there's more than two
Genders, what are you even talking about? I mean, that's what my teacher taught me in all my you know classes
That's what my college professor taught me. That's what my youtuber that I watched taught me
Of course, there's more than two genders. They just say it enough to where people believe it. It reminds me of a quote
that people attribute to Hitler, but it's not actually from Hitler,
that it says, if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough and often enough,
people will eventually come to believe it.
It's true. People just say stuff and people think that
because they've heard something multiple times, that makes it more true.
It doesn't, though. Hearing something that's a lie multiple times doesn't make it any truer.
It's still a lie at the end of the day.
But people will still be like,
no, I don't have anything like this.
I'll show you though.
I just want to give you some things
that people, a lot of people believe.
And you can tell me if you believe this in the crowd, okay?
Show your shame.
Here's something that people will say a lot.
They'll say, daddy long legs are the most venomous spider
in the world.
They just have fangs that are too small to bite you.
Who's heard that before?
Who believes that?
Don't raise your hand, okay?
It's not true, but people,
I heard that so many times growing up.
I'm just like, that must be true.
When I was a little kid.
Here's another one, people say, if you shave your hair,
it comes back thicker and faster.
People hear that, it's fake news, not true.
Go, anything I'm gonna say right here,
you can go and do your own research,
it's 100% false, not true.
Here's another one, people say, for all these kids,
you can use this against your parents,
that sugar makes children hyper.
Like, oh, I swear, when they eat ice cream,
it just makes them bounce off the walls.
Not true, no data that shows that.
Go look it up if you want to in your own time.
The reason I think they will think that is because like the most time the children are getting sweets like that
They're at some kind of like birthday party where they have like other kids hyping them up to go crazy
They're just like it must be the sugar. It's like, you know, it's probably just a bunch of kids in the room. Yeah
Here's another one people say a lot as well
They'll say that it's illegal to turn the light on in your car. Who's heard this one as well
My parents told me this okay the sinners that they are they told me when I was younger
They're like if you turn the lights on we're gonna get arrested or something like that
Not true. It's not true either. People just say that. I don't even know. I guess I do know why people say it
It's because parents are probably just annoyed with their kids trying to turn the lights on so they're just like
Give them something to believe that's easier to explain or whatever
But lions just not good in general. Yeah
But again, a lot of people believe that because a lot of people hear that some people say this as well that swimming after a meal
You'll cramp up
Not true either. Okay
That your blood is blue inside your body. I mean you have blue veins, right? Yeah, blue blood
not true
People say this as well gum doesn't digest for seven years in your body if you swallow it. Who's heard that?
Okay, I have swallowed quite a bit of gum in my day, and I just I know that's true not true from personal experience, okay?
Like why would I spit it out if I can just swallow it, you know, I mean, okay?
Here's another one that was kind of funny to me my co-worker told me this I don't know this is common or not
But he was telling me like dogs don't have a sense of taste they only taste things by what they smell has anybody heard this before
So he was like tell me was like so like what I do to like give my dog a treat
He's like I'll have him smell like my pizza or some steak or something like that
And I'll just give him the crust he's like and it tastes the exact same to the dog
And then I like I was like thinking when he said that I was like that doesn't sound right and I looked it up
And it's like it's not right. So he's just torturing his dog. I guess it's kind of messed up
People say that coffee stunts your growth is another thing is just not true
But so the reason I bring this up is because these all of these things are silly. They're kind of they don't they don't mean anything
It's not a big deal
But I'm just gonna show you this idea that if people just repeat something enough people just take it as an absolute fact
There's people that just like I've gotten into like little not real arguments at work
But you know just little back-and-forth at work saying that like if you shave your hair doesn't come back thicker or faster
No, no, no, I know that's 100% true and it's just simply not at the end of the day
But these, like I said, all of these are just harmless.
But there's things that become not harmless anymore.
Here's a good one that's not harmless.
And people, I'm sure, have heard this as well.
They'll say, if someone's having a seizure,
you should put something in their mouth
because you don't want them to swallow their tongue,
or bite their tongue off, or do something like that.
This is not true.
If someone's having a seizure, you should not touch them,
OK?
And people will, and I'm bringing this up
because that is actually harmful.
That can get your finger bitten off
and it can also make them choke
if you put something in their mouth, right?
So these things, I'm just trying to show you
that believing things very quickly
or believing things without evidence,
just being a very goalable person can actually hurt people.
It can actually harm people in the long run.
Another good example of that
is where you guys are at in Matthew 13, verse number 32.
Where people will just believe
Dumb stuff like this look what it says in Matthew 1332 it said or excuse me mark 1332
That's hopefully where you guys are at it says but of that day in that hour
No, it's no man. No, not the angels which are in heaven either the son
But the father take ye heed walked and pray for you know not when the time is
Jesus like clear as day says right here. Hey, listen, nobody knows when the rapture is gonna happen
Nobody knows but I'm bringing this up because just even recently I've been seen a bunch of people post online being like the Rapture was supposed to be like
What the 24th the 23rd or something dumb like that which hopefully not a lot of people believed
But again, that's a dangerous teaching
It's dangerous in multiple ways in the first way that it makes Christianity look dumb when a bunch of unpeople say people see stuff
Like that that Christians are sharing. They're like, they're just you know making stuff up
So why would they take anything else that we have to say seriously at that point?
but also people just sell all their stuff and they'll move and they'll do whatever,
which you're an idiot if you do something like that,
but people are gullible and they're dumb, okay?
But nobody knows the timing of the rapture and Jesus clearly says this,
but then people still will put dates on it. It is actually insane when you think about it.
And it's not even just that people will put dates on it that's insane,
it's that people will believe the dates that other people put on it when He says,
Except for me, okay January 21st this year, right? It's a stupid
Go to a Luke 21 seven. Here's a something that's kind of similar to that
This is also dangerous to people that are just not mentally well, you know
Like because if a normal sane person falls for something like that you kind of eat you're kind of like
kind of done for that.
You're like, come on, dog, like what's going on?
But there's people that have delusions
or that have mental health problems
that will see this stuff and it gets them all worked up
and that's evil.
It's a harm someone like that.
It's a harm someone who's just not in their right mind.
Here's another one that people do that people believe unfortunately is that people will claim to be Jesus Christ and Luke 21 7
It says and they asked him saying master
But when shall these things be and what?
What sign will there be when these things come to pass and he said take heed that he'd be not deceived for many
Shall come in my name saying I'm Christ and in that time or in the time drawth near go ye not therefore after them
And go to Luke 17, verse number 23.
I just read that as well.
Jesus Christ is saying right here 100%.
If someone tells you that they're a Christ
or that they found Christ,
do not believe them because they're lying to you.
And the reason we know that's true is in Luke 17, 23,
he says this,
Go not after them nor follow them for as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven
Shineth unto the other part under heaven so shall also the Son of man be in his day
Jesus says when he comes, you are going to know it.
There's no secret rapture, like some dispensations will teach you.
That's a no-hold-another story for a different day.
When Jesus Christ returns to this earth,
when the rapture happens, every single person will know.
Everybody's gonna see him in the clouds.
Everybody's gonna know that that's happening.
It's not some secret thing where Jesus
like just randomly teleports down into like Belarus
and then he's like, oh, hey, how's it going guys?
Silly.
And he's not gonna be on the desert.
He's not gonna be in a secret place.
It's gonna be like when lightning shines across the sky.
And he's saying that because he's like,
everybody can see it in the sky.
But those are kind of some extreme examples.
Good problems, 23 verse number three.
Problems 23 verse number three.
And I don't know about this being dangerous though,
because I'm kind of trying to tie that idea back
to just believing things willy nilly.
This is really dangerous because how many people do you think have died and went to hell because they believe some false
Christ in history?
Probably millions of people just like if you think about like all of time like people doing this kind of stuff
Probably millions of people that have died going to hell thinking that they're believing in Jesus Christ
Contrary to the Bible saying that when he comes you will know that Jesus Christ is on this earth. It's kind of a sad thing
But being global can be dangerous. That's kind of my point in all this some other kind of you know real-life examples
You guys are going to proper 22 verse number three with like scammers
You know you should just take this as a rule of thumb anybody in here if you're a boomer
Just take this to heart if someone answers if someone calls you randomly, okay?
And they say that they're the IRS they're lying to you if someone has an Indian accent on the phone. Hello, sir
Hang up the phone, it's already a scam, okay?
Nine out of 10 times is gonna be a scam.
And it may be like 99 out of 100, okay?
If not more, okay?
The IRS is not just gonna be like,
you owe us this much money.
If you don't pay it up right now,
you're going to jail, grandma.
That's not how the government works.
But people, again, they get deceived by this kind of stuff.
And even a more extreme example of that is,
as a woman, I would just caution,
because I listened to a lot of different,
like, true crime stuff.
If any man comes up to you trying to get into your house trying to get you to help with them with a car issue
That they have trying to get anything from of you. Just get away from that person
No man has any business coming up to you as a woman
and asking you for help for anything, okay?
Like, it's just, like, and obviously it's sad
that we even have to say things like this
in our society nowadays, but it's super true.
You hear it all the time, like,
I was listening to a video the other day where, like,
this guy, he's like, oh, I crashed.
And he's like, I just want a call to get help from someone
because, you know, I don't have a phone.
The girl lets him in, he kills her.
Sometimes I think that women are just trying to do that out of a good heart, but the thing
is that predators take advantage of that.
Evil people take advantage of that, so just don't put yourself in this dangerous situation
like that.
Don't take that gamble, it's not worth it.
And the same thing with kids in this room.
If any person tries to get you to take something from them
or to get in the car with them,
you should run away and go tell your parents immediately.
Stranger danger is a real thing.
Do not trust anybody that your parents
don't tell you to trust, okay?
Don't trust just random adults.
It's not good.
And we see the damage that that causes by kids
just either not learning this or just from children
just not taking their parents seriously
when they tell them things like this.
Proverbs 22 verse three, it says this,
a prudent man foreseeeth the evil and hideeth himself,
but the simple pass on and are punished.
You just, as a Christian, you don't want to get this attitude
where you're just not looking out for yourself.
You, God expects you to be prudent is what it says right here.
You're supposed to foresee the evil
and not put yourself in dangerous situations like that.
In kind of closing for this sermon though because I'm gonna wrap in this all up to the thing you guys are gonna get out of here early
Lucky lucky ducks, okay?
Maybe maybe no for sure you are
The last idea of this because it kind of blends that they kind of bridges the gap on this is that
The main idea this sermon is that not everything is a conspiracy theory
Not everything is a conspiracy in general and I told you earlier that the main idea from this came from this whole Charlie Kirk stuff
And I've just the reason I even thought the preach is because so many people were sharing so many dumb theories about what happened
Or they're sharing it just a bunch of random
Clickbait title videos half baked videos things that don't make sense when you're actually thinking with two brain cells in your head
People share this all stuff and it's like Christians. They'll share this kind of nonsense and as I've just been telling you earlier
It's dangerous when you just put out false information and it's also dangerous when people just believe things willy nilly just like believe anything that comes out.
People like right now like some of the theories in this they're like it's you know the classic the Jews got Charlie Kirk
It was the Jews
The people think the Jews do everything I guess though like they're just like I got a parking ticket
It must have been the Jews. You know I stubbed my toe. It must have been the Jews that did that my wife
You know divorce me. She took the kids and she must have been a deep-state Jewish plan, okay?
I'm being silly about that, but it's crazy to see how much people will just blame the Jews just like for everything
Which we know as I said earlier conspiracies are real there are you know principalities and powers that work in the darkness, okay?
But not everything is the Jews not everything is a conspiracy
And when you just make everything to be out like this like it's the Jews with no evidence
Then they're not gonna believe you when it actually comes down that kind of stuff the real kind of conspiracies
So you should just be hesitant at the very least to just, you know,
willy-nilly throw stuff out there like that,
especially like with this situation,
because I've done quite a bit of research on this now.
And obviously the whole information is on out there.
I would put that little caveat out there, but I mean, the things make sense.
Like if you just look at it, it's like.
The left has been dehumanizing people on the right for years now.
They just say that they're a Nazi, they're a fascist.
Why do they do that when they know that you're really not a Nazi,
when they know that you're really not a fascist?
It's because when you put that label on someone, it dehumanizes them,
and then it thinks that you can treat them however you want to.
Because someone, if you're like, oh, you gotta go kill the Republicans, they're like,
sounds kind of bad, but you're like, go kill the Nazis. They're like,
that kind of sounds good, right? So that's what they do. That's why they throw that label out
there, because they want to dehumanize people. They want you, they want people to think that
you're just like the next Adolf Hitler. And if you're the next Adolf Hitler, it just
And I told you before, I preached the whole sermon on this Charlie Kirk stuff in Seattle,
so if you wanted to hear more about what I had to say about him specifically on that,
you could go look at that.
I don't think it's wrong to doubt mainstream narratives.
And matter of fact, when we're talking about believing every word,
if you believe everything the government puts out there,
then you are simple, like the Bible verse was also saying, okay?
The government has shown time and time again that it lies to us,
it manipulates us, and they do not care.
They'll do it all, they'll do it till the end of time.
They do these kind of cover-ups and these kind of things all the time,
but you just realize not everything's a cover-up,
not everything's a conspiracy, not everything.
has like, you need a whiteboard to understand what's going on.
Sometimes things are as they appear.
And the story, again, I'm saying the story makes sense on this.
Like, this is what we've been preaching forever up here.
Like what my dad was saying when he preached his sermon.
It's like, how often have we been saying like
that these fags, these trans lovers,
these, you know, reprobates are dangerous.
And you see the end of that, that he goes and shoots a man,
this guy, Tyler Robinson, a little faggot,
someone who loves a transgender,
so he's not a straight person, okay?
He goes and he shoots this guy in the neck who has a wife and kids with no remorse, no
guilt on his face, no he's trying to get away with it.
That story makes sense to me, especially when you're like, oh, they have a video of this guy on the roof
Like with his gun up there that that kind of makes sense
I don't like people like oh, no, no, that's not the real guy
The shot came from behind and hit Charlie Kirk. How dumb get the belief be to believe something like that
They have videos of this guy on the roof with a sniper rifle up there
He's like you can go look up the video for yourself
Then they have another video where he's running off the roof and he jumps off and runs away
That's AI, they just made that all up, it's just fake.
So stupid.
And you're like, why are you getting mad about this?
It's because when people just push anything,
they just make everything a conspiracy theory,
it makes the legitimate ones look stupid.
And it makes Christians look stupid
because they're the ones that are pushing that stuff out.
It's just like the Flat Earth,
where if you say that you believe the Flat Earth,
I don't really care what shape you think the earth is.
The problem with it more so is it makes Christianity look dumb
when you're teaching stuff like that.
That's the real big issue.
Because why would anybody take anything
you have to say seriously if you just are denying reality
and you're like, the earth is flat?
Like what kind of nonsense will you
have to be like be on to believe that?
You have to believe that every pilot, you know, mainstream
and like just recreational, all the scientists, all of NASA,
Everybody is just in on a huge conspiracy theory every time they fly over the earth to be like
We got to keep these guys thinking the earth is flat
We can't let them know about the giant dome that's over all of us.
It's like when you think about it, it's unbelievable.
It's like it's just too crazy.
It just doesn't make sense.
The same thing with this though.
I just want you to realize when I'm like brain up this story.
Because this is this Charlie Kirk stuff
is not exactly on the level of Flat Earth.
But I was thinking about it, you have to think
how many people would have to be in on this kind of stuff?
This is a lesson in just logic and just thinking,
using your IQ, using your brain cells right now, OK?
Like.
All of the FBI would have to be on on this and then it's about like if the Jews assassinate him
Okay, so the Jews have to go and tell the FBI that they need to cover this up
Everybody in the FBI just agrees then they pay this guy's parents. They pay his brute beast boyfriend
They pay you know everybody in this life and to doctor all this footage to make this guy out to be the villain
It's insane. It doesn't make sense. It's just stupid at the end of the day
And I just like I don't know it's again that what you think about that is not the biggest deal in the world per se
But when people deny reality, I just think it's dumb.
And it makes everybody else look dumb.
You should think about that.
You go look up the video for yourself,
at least watch some evidence before you just
go and share something that's nonsense.
Some people, I was on the craziest one I was seeing,
is that they were saying that Charlie Kirk's still alive.
I mean, I seen the video you could shot in the neck,
which is a terrible video.
It's disgusting.
Don't go look.
If you haven't seen it, do not go look it up.
It traumatized my eye.
I ruined my day for the rest of the work.
You're like no it was a squib like what they do in the movies
It's just like a like a ketchup packet basically it wasn't real
It's nonsense like they think he's hiding with Elvis and with Tupac, I guess which people think that they're those people are still alive, too
It's nonsense though
But again all this to go back to say like
Well, I'm talking about the main idea. I'm bringing this up is not if someone believes that it's not necessarily the end all be all it's just that
When you put forth ideas like this without thinking about them have any evidence behind them
It makes everybody look dumb. It makes you look dumb. It makes your reputation look dumb as well
So you should like not just push things out there with fact-checking them because people again are quick
This is why this what I forgot to tell and I'll end on this for me here. Okay. This is what really picked me off
Okay, as soon as the shooting happened at work that same day
Someone was already telling me all the conspiracies that they thought it was this dude is not even confirmed dead yet
And they're telling me this what happened Donald Trump
He needs to get you know whatever like he can't even get elected again
So I don't even know what he's saying
But he's like he needs all this power so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he just you know turned on him and had Charlie Kirk killed
You know, he's like the right will do stuff like that the government will do stuff like that
And then when he saw this video on Israel because I guess Charlie Kirk said one negative thing about Israel
He's like, oh, yeah, buddy. He's like my first theory was wrong this one. He's like it's the Jews that did it now
Because he said one negative thing about Israel.
So surely Netanyahu, you know, set it up right after that.
And what made me mad, I was just like,
just he's just crafting theories out of nothing.
Just and believing them.
Like he's like fullheartedly believing them afterwards.
It's like, you're making up the story and believing it.
Like that's insane.
OK, so that's what was kind of just taking me out about that.
People just like want to believe a certain narrative
and then they make the facts align with that.
It's not, that's not truth though.
And we should be seeking truth as Christians.
Okay?
Yeah, that's like a little seed for people to lie
on how they come to truth for others.
Yeah, exactly right.
So to end this sermon off, the first point of my sermon
was that simple people believe every word.
You should not just believe things, hook, line, and sinker
when it comes to doctrine, when it comes to the rapture,
when it comes to people telling you
that they're Jesus Christ,
or even in a more applicable sense where like,
you should not just trust every person
that you meet in this world.
I've said this before, but you shouldn't have to doubt everybody per se, but just people should earn your trust
You don't just give them your trust for no reason. It's a bad idea
But number two is that people believe things more easily than they realize
I kind of use all those examples with you guys and the problem with that is point three is that it can be really dangerous and very
Harmful to you physically or just the idea of Christianity as a whole if you're just really global and you just believe things
Willy-nilly with no kind of facts behind them
With all that will be in said, let's pray.
Here with our God, thank you so much for this wonderful day.
Thank you so much for what you do for us, God.
I thank you so much for this church, God.
I just pray that we would be a wise,
a serpents, and harmless as doves, God.
And I just pray that you'd help us to take Proverbs seriously,
God, and to not be foolish in our actions,
in our behaviors, God.
And I just pray that you would help us to get people saved
when we go out so many later.
And I pray that you'd be brother Jason
as he preached his sermon tonight.
Just say I pray.
Amen.
