Galatians chapter number one and of course Galatians chapter number one is a very famous
chapter of the Bible and it's a very I would say often read chapter of the Bible especially
in our types of churches right because because of the fact.
that it's warning us about another gospel.
And it's warning us about basically any other religion
or any other person that would come to you
and tell you any other gospels
is basically giving us a warning about that.
And of course it says that in verse number six,
where it says, I marvel that you're so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto another gospel, which is not another,
but there be some that trouble you.
would pervert the gospel of Christ, but though we or an angel from heaven preach
any other gospel unto you, then that, excuse me, then that which ye have
preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if
any man preach any other gospel unto you, then that ye have received, let him be
Not too similar. I think it's gonna go well with this morning sermon because you know, brother Remy talked a lot about the
Catholic church this morning and exposing their their weird scriptures and how you know, they like to talk about you know
Birds pooping in people's eyes and whatnot
That's weird to me, but but I'm just gonna I'm preaching against the Catholics in general
and so I wanted to have Galatians one read because
This is one of the major problems of the Catholic churches that they have another gospel. They have a separate, different gospel.
And just the reason why I wanted to preach about the Catholics
today is because I've just kind of noticed
that there's a lot of these so-called conservative
influencers out there.
And it seems like there's just a bunch of them
that are becoming Catholic.
I think about people like Candace Owens,
guys like Nick Fuentes, and people like Russell Brand.
It seems like there's a lot of these people out there
that they used to be atheists or whatever,
and they used to be liberals.
You know conservative and then they're like they're finding God and they're finding religion
But it seems like they're just always finding Catholicism for some reason. It's like what what is this?
What's going on? And you know we as Bible-believing Christians need to differentiate ourselves from the Catholics because you know what?
Catholics cannot be conservatives. I mean
The conservative movement, they're supposed to be like,
yeah, we're fighting against the New World Order.
We're fighting against Satan.
We're fighting back against the globalists.
We're stopping them from turning the frogs game, right?
That's what they're all about.
But yet the Catholic Church, what does Catholic mean?
It means universal, my friend.
It's the universal church.
I mean, that's like the one world religion church.
That's the New World Order religion.
And it's supposed to bring in, because one thing that really differentiates Bible-believing Christianity from Catholicism is just the fact that when we preach the Gospel, they change what they believe and they become a Christian.
They're supposed to stop believing whatever religion they were believing in before.
put their faith in Jesus Christ and they become a Christian, right? So, but in
Catholicism, you know, they've spread out throughout the world, right? They're in
the universal church, they've gone into pretty much every single continent, but
when they go to these different places, basically they'll just go in and adopt
aspects from the local culture and the local religion into
Catholicism right I mean that that's why you know the the the Catholicism of Mexico is going to be a little bit different from the
Catholicism of Spain from the Catholicism, you know of of Russia or whatever
You know there'll be there'll be you know these little differences right why it's because they're basically they kind of adapt
to the culture that they're in
Why so that they can be truly universal so they can include everybody now here's the thing about Christianity
We we do want to include everybody amen. I mean we want
People from every continent from all walks of life all different types of people who get saved and as many people as we can possibly get saved amen
We want we would love it if just the whole world got saved amen
Unfortunately, that's just not the way the world is, but here's what we don't do.
We don't change anything about our religion to satisfy the masses or to satisfy the culture
or to satisfy a different group of people.
It doesn't matter what continent we're on, doesn't matter what time period we're in,
the Bible says what it says, and we go with what the Bible says.
It's you know, you it's it's change or nothing. It's change or bust
You become a Christian Christianity doesn't become you my friend. Okay, and that's what Catholicism does is they is they change
To adapt themselves to the law. I mean, that's why that's why they're you know, they're worshiping Mary
Well, why are they worshiping Mary because they're basically they were replacing some God in the pantheon of the Greek culture
You know, why are they worshiping all these other saints?
You know, if you go down in Mexico,
they have all these different saints
that they're not necessarily worshiping over in Europe.
Why?
It's because, well, they have some folk hero
that they turn into a saint, and they venerate and worship
as a saint in Mexico.
And so it's an adaptive religion that is designed to go and conquer and take over the world as basically a governmental structure, right?
And it's going to play into the New World Order just like the devil wants it to.
And so, you know, I don't know, it just annoys me that all these so-called conservatives are like becoming Catholics.
And so I wanted to just preach against Catholicism today.
And we need to differentiate ourselves from the Catholics as Bible-ridden Christians.
And so I'm just going to go through and highlight several major problems with Catholicism.
And the first one that I wanted to highlight is the fact that they pervert the gospel.
And of course, this is why we're in Galatians chapter number one, and the Bible's clear.
Like, look, if there's a different gospel that comes to you, if somebody's preaching a different gospel, then what has been...
And Paul is basically referring back to what he had already preached to the Galatians.
So if it's going to contradict the writings of Paul in the Bible, which also means it
would contradict the writings of what Jesus Christ said in the Bible, and pretty much
the whole Bible, then it's a false gospel and you should reject it out of hand and
it doesn't even matter, just like Remi talked about this morning, it doesn't matter if a
It doesn't matter if an angel from heaven teaches you another gospel. It doesn't matter at the end of the day
You are to reject that
So so what is it about Catholicism that that makes it another gospel? Well
Basically Catholicism teaches that in order to go to heaven, you know, yeah, you believe in Jesus
But you also have to, you know, partake in the seven sacraments.
You have to be, join the Catholic Church because, you know, they'll say there's no salvation outside of the Catholic Church.
Right? So you have to be a Catholic in good standing. You have to, you know, do the seven sacraments, whatever.
And it's a highly works-based...
Salvation, you know, you got to go to confessional every once in a while and you know
You're also literally paying money to the Catholic Church, you know in order to pay for your sins
Which is just bizarre to me, but if you're in the business of trying to make money,
and you just got control of the large masses, you can just tell them,
hey, you can send all you want as long as you pay me.
I mean, talk about filthy lucre.
But I mean, that's a total works-based salvation.
They're literally, hey, you give us a monetary gain and then we'll give you permission to sin.
I mean, this is just a complete works-based salvation.
And so, you know, this is obviously a false gospel because basically any philosophy or any, any
Any way that somebody would say about how to get saved that falsifies excuse me that falsifies
Versus the Bible salvation versus the Bible automatically that means that it's a it's a false gospel
Okay, and I'll give you an example so John 3 16 most famous verse in the whole Bible for God
So loved the world that he gave his only begotten son the whosoever believe it in him should not perish
But have everlasting life
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but He that believeth not is condemned already because He hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And, you know, a Catholic will say, hey, we believe in Jesus.
I mean, we, I mean, we're like, we're like the super Trinitarian people, right?
You know, we believe in Jesus. We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection.
But here's the thing about it. What they say about salvation falsifies this verse
Meaning if it's true what they say about salvation meaning that you have to work your way to heaven be a part of the Catholic Church
Then that means that John 3 16 through 18 is not true
Does that make sense? So because the Bible says here that whosoever believe in him, right?
And so but if I say well you have to believe what you also
have to do a bunch of good works and you also have to be a
part of the Catholic Church.
That makes this verse false because you know, this verse did not say anything about
being a part of the Catholic Church and doing any good works.
And so it falsifies this verse.
And there's a whole bunch of verses in the Bible that explicitly say that it's not by works.
And so anybody that is coming to you with a version of the gospel that says it is by works,
well, they're simply, again, they're directly falsifying these other verses.
And in Galatians 221 is a perfect example of that, where the Bible says,
Do not frustrate the grace of God for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If Christ has come by the law, meaning by doing good works because, you know, keeping the law is the works that God is going to want us to do, amen,
then that means that Christ died for nothing. He died for no reason at all. And so, if what the Catholics say about salvation is true,
then that means salvation, you know, that means that Christ died in vain because salvation is through me and my works, right?
Of course, you know Romans Romans 4 5 but to him that work is not but believe it on him that justified the ungodly his faith is
Counted for righteousness. So the Bible just directly says that it is without
Works, but I don't want to belabor this point too much
You know, I believe everybody here understands the gospel pretty well
And so I'm gonna just gonna move on to my next point here and that is
The fact that, you know, the Catholics, they worship idols.
They have a lot of idol worship going on in their religion.
And a perfect example of that, and probably like the main example,
is the fact that they worship Mary, right?
And they're like, oh, she's our mother and all this stuff.
You you could say that yeah, Mary's Mary is the mother of Jesus
But why are you like running around saying that she's your mother, you know
They're like, oh, it's so great to have a mother and it's like, you know, you do actually have a mom already
You could say some nice things about your mom that wouldn't be too bad
But the fact that you're running around just like and they say they're they're venerating Mary
But really at the end of the day, they're just worshiping
They're just worshiping Mary, and they even call Mary the Queen of Heaven, which is quite
creepy.
Go ahead and turn to Jeremiah chapter number seven.
Jeremiah chapter number seven.
Now, they're worshiping the Queen of Heaven, and they say, hey, our Mother Mary is the
And, you know, they are right, there is a Queen of Heaven,
and they are worshiping the Queen of Heaven.
But it's just not married, okay?
And in Jeremiah chapter number seven,
look at verse number 18, it says,
the children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women need their dough to make cakes
to the Queen of Heaven.
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods that they may provoke me to anger.
So the Bible is telling us that the Queen of Heaven is part and parcel with offerings up to other gods.
And so the Queen of Heaven, according to the Bible, is basically, she's another God.
We know when the Bible is talking about other gods in the Old Testament,
you know, these aren't actual real gods that have actual godly power.
What are these? These are demons.
You know, and the Bible says I can't remember the exact reference, but it says, you know, the Gentiles when they offer
Offerings up to idols. They're actually offering up them up to devils and this definitely applies to Catholicism because you know again
When they're worshiping, you know, Mother Mary
You know, they're just replacing like Venus or whatever, you know, what's one of the female gods of the pantheon of Rome or or Greece?
Does anybody know like Diana or Athena? Yeah, you know Diana or Athena, you know
Basically, they're just replacing either Diana or Athena or Venus is Venus a female?
Yeah, so like Venus or whatever. They're just replacing that with Mary
Why because they wanted to placate the pagans because they wanted to force
Everybody to become part of their universal religion
But you know the pagans they don't really want to give up their paganists
Don't you know why because they don't they don't want to stop being pagan then become a Christian
They just want to stay pagan and so what the Catholic Church is is okay. Well, we're gonna placate that
you know
Venus is just named to Mary. Okay, that's all. And so then they're worshiping
they're worshiping Mary and they're worshiping the Queen of Heaven and that's what they call her.
But in Exodus, if you go ahead and turn to
1 Corinthians, chapter number 10, I'm gonna read for you Exodus 20.
It says in Exodus 20, verse number three,
says thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
or that is in earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth,
thou shalt not bow down myself to them, nor serve them,
for I am the Lord thy God, I am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me."
So he's specifically saying,
no graven images. No graven images. And you know my parents took a trip to you
know they went to Turkey and Greece and and Rome this last summer and you know
and they were just showing us all kinds of different pictures they took and they
they they went to I believe it's called St. Catherine's
Cathedral as a or I think it has a different it but it's a real famous
You know if you see in any of the movies we're like, you know
Like the world's gonna end and they show all the different places where people are just praying
You know right before the world ends. I you know, there's a specific movie. I remember that from I can't remember what it's called though
But but basically, you know, there's that
Round area and then the straight courtyard or whatever where the Pope comes out. What does anybody know what I'm talking about?
OK, nobody knows what I'm talking about.
OK, well, they have a church over there.
And it's really famous.
And it's where all the gold is that the Vatican has.
It's part of Vatican City.
I don't know.
It's like St. Catherine's, something, whatever.
And so they had all these pictures.
And you don't want to just surrounding the whole area on the roofs, it's like statue after
statue after statue after statue after statue after statue after statue.
It's just statues everywhere and you go inside and there's more statues, there's just statues
everywhere and all the paintings, there's those famous paintings from Michelangelo or
whatever and they're just in complete violation of Exodus chapter number 20 where the Bible
No graven images. I mean, what's a graven image?
It's a statue. You know those things where they carve out of the dirt out of the marble, you know
And you know there are incredible statues, you know
I have no clue how on earth some dude like you know sat there chiseled the marble and made it look like an actual human being
You know, it'd be nice if they you know put more coverings on a lot of them because a lot of them from the Greek from the Greek area
It's like all right, you know
I think it would be a lot easier to chisel out some clothes, but anyways, anyway, that's
just, I don't know, that's a pet peeve or whatever, you know, I had an art book that
my mom had, and I was like, art through history or whatever, and I'd look through that thing
and I'd be like, oh, you know, let's go to the next page here, but anyways, so they've
just graven images just everywhere right and you know a lot of these graven
images you know they're worshiping these things you know and a lot of times you
know they've pulled a lot of trickery with with different graven images like
they'll you know they'll make a statue of Mary but they'll put like metal balls
in her eye sockets
But then they'll make it look like it's, you know, just, you know, just stone like the rest of it.
And then that way, when it, when they put it out in high humidity and hot weather, those metal balls,
what it'll condensate on the metal balls and it'll start crying.
And they're like, it's real! It's a miracle!
Start worshipping Mary right now, you know, and I was like, oh my goodness. You know people are freaking out or worshipping Mary
She's crying the stat. She's crying like could this be anything else? You know, it's like, you know, yeah
It's it's called the condensation my friend. Just you know lying, you know
Yeah, the devil he's gonna have lying signs and wonders, but sometimes it's just it's it's just a trick
Okay, you know, it's just a tricky trick or whatever, you know, and you know, they'll have like
you know paintings or whatever that'll do something similar and you know just all kinds
of trickery with these things but but what are they doing they're getting people to worship
statues which is directly against what the bible says and you know it's kind of one of the big
commandments it's like he's like hey thou shalt have no other gods before me and by the way no
Cuz that's kind of like having other gods before our God cuz I mean can we just go ahead and make a statue of our God right now
Do we know do we know what Jesus even looked like? You know, I watched a I watched a podcast recently about the
Kind of what it's called
But you know, it's that like blanket that was covering Jesus and the shroud of Turin that's exactly what it is
You know, it's like all the shroud of Turin the shroud of Turin, you know, and you know, if you look at it, it's just like
It's just like every Catholic image of Jesus you've ever seen, and he's got long hair!
And you know, I listen to this podcast and this guy's just going over all this evidence, all this evidence of how, oh, yeah, it's totally real, it's totally the shroud that actually covered Jesus or whatever.
It's like, okay, you know, any Bible-believing Christian can take one look at that stupid thing and say, oh, no, that's a fraud.
And it's really easy because you just look at it and you can see like the outline, it's like, oh, his hair goes past his shoulders.
Oh, okay, so it's not Jesus. Why? Because in 1 Corinthians 11 it says it is a shame for a man to have long hair.
You know what? And Jesus did not have long hair, okay? I mean, it does not even nature itself tell you that it is a shame for a man to have long hair.
And so, no, the shroud of Turin is completely and totally fake.
You know, I don't know what it is, or how it got there, whatever, who knows how it came into existence.
But the fact that it violates scripture tells me that it's false.
And you know, here's the other thing.
You know we go to the Bible for all matters of faith and practice. We go to the Bible to confirm our faith
We don't need any of these signs, right? We don't need some relic to be dug up out of the earth
We don't need to find a shard, you know of the cross or something like that
You know, we don't we don't need to find the the nails that that pierced Jesus's feet
We don't need any of those signs because we have the Bible
That's what we have. That's what we need today. We need the Bible and you know
We shouldn't be putting our faith, you know
And here's the problem with the shroud of turn because you know some day somebody's gonna prove that it's a fake
And they're gonna figure out how they made it or whatever and all the people that were like the reason why I became a Christian
Is because I saw the shroud of Turin
And it proved to me that Jesus resurrected
You know, all those people, when it turns out to be a fake, all those people, what are they going to do with their faith?
Because the foundation of their faith has been shown to be a fraud.
But here's the thing about the Bible, my friend.
Basically, for 2,000 years, and even before that, I mean, this is the first thing that, and Remi, you know, he talked about this morning.
The first thing the devil even did was try to cast doubt on God's word.
Throughout all of history have been trying to discredit and disprove the Bible and guess what?
They've been completely unsuccessful, completely unsuccessful.
And so, oh, and by the way, we have, you know, and I believe that the Bible is self-authenticating,
but we have verses in the Bible just like Remy talked about this morning.
This is why this sermon goes pretty well with it, that the Bible is going to be preserved.
I mean, we have Jesus telling us that not one jot or tittle shall in any wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
Right? So we have a promise that the Bible is not going to be corrupted and none of it's going to be lost.
But do we have anything about the shroud of Turin?
No.
You know, God didn't tell us anything about the shroud of Turin and that we should base our faith at all upon that.
Right?
That's why I'm totally against, you know, these things like the Shroud of Turn is because basically what it's doing is it's taking away people's faith from the Bible and saying, you know, this isn't enough for you to just believe the fact that 1 Corinthians 15 said that the gospel is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that's how we can know that Jesus Christ rose from the dead is because the scriptures told us that.
But instead we're going to put our faith that Jesus rose from the dead on the Shroud of Turn.
this object that we have found.
My faith is not on some object that somebody found.
My faith is on the revealed word of God.
That's what my faith is in.
And I don't even know, how did I get off on that?
I don't know.
Don't believe in the Shroud of Turin.
Jesus didn't have long hair, all right.
All right, so first Corinthians,
chapter number 10 is where I had you turn to.
Look at verse number 14, it says,
And this is something again that the Catholic Church fails to do because they literally
lie in their churches with idols.
And I'm pretty sure like every single Catholic Church is going to have an idol in it somewhere.
And you say, what are you going to Catholic Church for, Jason?
I thought you were against that.
Well, sometimes you end up going to a Catholic Church
for various reasons or another.
I end up having to go a place like that for my job sometimes.
So nobody freak out.
I haven't been secretly going into Catholic mass services
or whatever.
But anyways.
In 1st John 5, 21, it says little children, keep yourselves from idols, amen.
So I mean there's just multiple, multitude of commandments in the Bible that say,
hey, no idolatry, stay away from those idols, and the Catholic Church just completely ignores all of those commandments.
And so, you know, and the Bible said earlier, you know, in Exodus chapter number 20,
I'm visiting theiquities of the fathers upon the children under the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me.
And what is the evidence that we're shown in the Bible that these particular people
hate God?
It's the fact that they're making raven images and they're making idols and they're
bound down and they're worshiping them.
So that tells me that Catholicism have a hatred towards the actual true God of the Bible.
And so, you know, because otherwise, you know, why are they doing this?
I mean, it's pretty easy to just not have idols.
It's actually pretty difficult.
I mean, those guys that made all those different statues, they had to work a long time.
to put those things together.
And I'm sure the Catholic Church
they had to pay a lot of money to get all those,
you know, get all those statues put together.
And so it would have been a lot easier
to just keep this command and be like,
all right, we don't need idols.
We don't need to spend millions of dollars
on getting these statues.
So they had to really go way out of their way
to commit this massive sin of idolatry.
And so why would they do that?
Well, the evidence of the Bible is,
is it's because they hate the Lord.
And of course, you know, that is at the end of the day,
the whole goal of the Catholic church
is to get people away from the God of the Bible
to turn from that and turn to basically Satan.
Because at the end of the day, again,
you know, the sacrifices that the Gentiles sacrifice
and the idols, they sacrifice unto devils.
We'll go ahead and turn to Revelation chapter number one, chapter number one, and I wanted to head into my next point here.
And that is the fact that they reject the priesthood of the believer.
Because, you know, as Bible-believing Christians, we believe that we basically, we have a direct link to God through prayer.
And so we don't need anybody to mediate between us and God.
But it says in Revelation chapter number one, verse number five, it says,
the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loves us and washed us from
our sins in his own blood that hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
father to him be glory and dominion forever and ever amen. So the Bible here
in Revelation 1 is very clear
that basically anybody that has been washed in His blood is or has been made Kings and priests unto God.
Which means there's nothing separating you from God in the New Testament.
The Catholic Church has people that, they're designated priests,
meaning you have the lame in here, you know, and then you have the priests here,
and you have to go through the priests in order to communicate with God.
I believe it's totally blasphemous.
Because, I mean, one of the major shifts,
and one of the major points of Jesus Christ coming and dying on the cross,
is so that that system, which was true in the Old Testament,
can be done away with.
And we know in the New Testament that the Levitical priesthood
has been done away with.
And the fact that the curtain
that separated the Holy of Holies from the outside world
was torn in half.
And, you know, there wasn't some dude with a pair of scissors there, no, God tore it in half
because he wanted to get rid of that separation of having somebody between us and God.
And so, you know, any of us can go basically directly to God.
You know, we don't have, you know, to go back to kind of one of the earlier points,
you know, we don't have like Mary, because they'll say, well, Mother Mary, she's our great mediatrix.
Well, no, she's not she's not mediating ever anything at all because the Bible says that we have a mediator and
That mediator we have our own mediator, which is Christ Jesus
Okay, he is our mediator
And so, you know, we don't we don't need to go to some human being right?
We don't need to pray to Mother Mary to in order to communicate with God. We can just communicate with God
Why?
because God has made anybody that's washed into his blood to be kings and priests unto God.
So we call this the priesthood of the believer, meaning that anybody that has put their faith in Jesus Christ and has saved
has become a priest unto God.
And, you know, Jesus, he made that sacrifice, you know, the priests, you know, we don't have to go and like make sacrifices continually all the time anymore.
Why? Because Jesus did that one time already and all of our sins are paid for.
And so we don't have to do any of these weird rituals, but guess what? We have direct access to God.
That's why we're priests today. That's why saved people are priests today is because we as individuals have direct access to God.
But it says in 1 Peter, go ahead and turn to 1 Peter 5. I'm going to read for you 1 Peter 2 verse number 5
It says he also as lively stones are built upon a spiritual house and
Holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifice
acceptable to God by
Jesus Christ. So again, you know that holy, we're part of that holy priesthood
First Peter five, look at verse number nine.
It says, but ye are a chosen generation, a...
royal priesthood and holy nation a peculiar people that you should show
forth the praise of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light. So who is a part of this chosen generation? Who is part of this royal
priesthood? Who is part of this holy nation? It's those who have been called out
And who in the world could that possibly be?
Saved believers. Amen.
Somebody needs to tell that to the dispensationalists today.
I mean, who's part of the whole nation?
Is it a bunch of Jews that reject Jesus?
Heck, no, it's those that actually believe in Jesus Christ because let me tell you my friend Judaism
They're sitting in darkness today in complete blackness of darkness
And they need to get a real bright light called the King James Bible to be shown under them and them to believe it
So they can come out of darkness and become a Christian then become then become part of the chosen nation, right?
but
But this also means that this applies to all believers once again. It's not just like this this
special group that's a part of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church
Absolutely, not. No those those people are actually not priests. They're they're priests unto Satan or the devil or whatever
You know, we are the priests of God. Okay, because the Bible says that all who are saved
are
priests unto God. And so, you know, again, what the Catholics are doing when they
teach this doctrine of, hey, we have special priests, not everybody is a
priest, you know, it's only people that are leading churches or priests. What
they've done is they've driven a wedge between the people and God, okay?
Go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter 14 or excuse me, there is no Hebrew chapter 14 turn to Hebrew chapter 4
We're going to look at verse number 14
And this you know this whole philosophy of having somebody between you and God has actually worked its way in
to many
many Baptist churches but just you know evangelical churches in general you know
and of course it's it's there in the in the all you know basically every form of
Protestant church it's it's innately in there from being a part of Catholicism
but it has worked its way in to many evangelical churches and and what am I
saying what what are you talking about you know the evangelical churches don't
have priests
Well, yeah, but they do have a way to drive a wedge between you and God and the way the way they do this
And what it looks like is basically they'll say well
you know
Yeah, the the Bible here says you know in Matthew chapter number 28 it says go you there for and teach all nations
You know baptizing him in the name of the Father and the Son of the Holy Spirit
But if you go back to the Greek what it really says is go and make disciples
It says something different.
Well, you know, how did, but my Bible says that it's going to teach all nations, but
you're telling me it says to go and make disciples, which by the way, the Bible never says a single
time ever to make disciples.
It never says it.
But is that true though? Absolutely not because the Bible never says to make disciples that says teach all nations
What's teaching all nations? What's teaching them the gospel because you get them see you teach people the gospel
They get saved then they get baptized then you teach them to observe whatsoever. He had commanded us, okay?
But but how you know how and why are they coming to this conclusion? Well, basically they're telling you that you can't
understand the Bible unless you have a guru that knows the original languages
comes in and tells you what the Bible actually really says because there's
look there's all kinds of different places in the Bible where you know you'll
come to it and it'll be a clear scripture you know a clear scripture
such as you know
where the Bible says that Christ has died for everybody.
Like where the Bible says that Christ,
he has tasted death for every man.
I believe that, is that Hebrews 1-9?
Let's find out.
Let's see what Hebrews 1-9 is.
I think that's what it says.
Hebrews chapter one verse number nine it says thou hast loved righteousness and
Hate and hath hated iniquity therefore God
Even thy God hath anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy fellows and that's not it
What what where's the verse that says he hath tasted death for every man?
Does anybody know
Nobody knows I I thought for sure was Hebrews 1 9 man. I'm I'm going nuts up here
But anyway, so I'm pretty sure it's in Hebrews, but there's a Bible verse in Hebrews 2 9. Where's my problem?
Says but we see Jesus who has made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death
crowned with glory and honor
That by the grace of God should taste death for every man
Now the Calvinists will come along and say well what you don't understand is that the Greek?
It doesn't really say that. You see, the Greek says something different.
The Greek says something else and in order for you to understand and figure out what the Greek,
which is the true real Bible that's totally different from the English,
in order for you to understand what it's actually saying, you need to come to me
so that I can teach you what the Bible actually says.
And so what they've done is that they've put themselves in between you and God.
because without them you are unable to understand the Bible.
You're completely and totally unable to understand anything the Bible has to say
because you need them to teach it to you.
Now, where does that come from?
Well, it comes basically from the Catholic Church
because this is a big part of the Catholic Church.
they would prevent people from reading the Bible throughout the Middle Ages and you know, of course
there's that famous story of you know
They're burning a bunch of people in England because they memorized the Lord's prayer
Well, that's basically you trying to get God to God by yourself on your own
Instead of going through the Catholic Church, which they want to funnel everybody through the Catholic Church so that they have all the power
And so, you know, so they will burn people at the stake for just memorizing scripture or just reading the Bible or just having or owning a Bible, right?
Because they have always wanted to put themselves between the general public, the population, and God, right?
That's one of their major goals. Why? Because the Catholic Church is a mechanism at its core. It's a mechanism of control.
You know somebody that can go to God by himself and somebody that can just read the Bible for himself
Cannot necessarily just be controlled, you know, I you know because look
Like we we're always telling people hey read the Bible for yourself
So that you can know what it says and if I'm preaching anything that doesn't line up with it with what the scripture says
You know, obviously you're gonna go with what the scripture says
And so we're all reading from the same book, right?
We're all reading from the same scriptures.
And so I'm gonna have a lot harder time
just like brainwashing everybody here
into believing, you know, my pet doctrine
so that I can, you know, benefit myself in any way
because everybody else is gonna be like,
hey, well, actually no, the Bible doesn't say that.
Cause if I get up here and I'm like, hey,
you know,
In order for you guys to avoid God punishing you
What you need to do is you need to go ahead and write a check to me
For five hundred and sixty eight dollars
Every week and then God is not gonna punish you
You have to write, you know, it's gonna spell my name right get the check right, you know, get out your checkbooks, you know
Or I'll give you my bank info. You can wire it in
I'm gonna have a hard time telling everybody and convincing everybody or anybody at all of that why because if you're you got the Bible
You pull up the body like, uh
No, you're an idiot get out of here, you know, that's this complete false doctrine. That's nowhere in the Bible
We don't have to pay you a dime for you know first to avoid the wrath of God. Amen, but
I mean, this is something that the Catholic Church participates in with indulgences, right?
They say, hey, you know, you can go ahead and, you know, sin a little.
It's okay. Just head on down to the Catholic Church and get out your checkbook, write a fat check.
Put as many zeros on that thing as you could possibly afford,
and then you can go ahead and sin and do whatever you want, and it's fine.
God's not going to get mad at you.
Until you get more money, then you need to, you know, you gotta run or no, check, my friend.
And so, you know, when we say, hey, no, no, no, no, no, the Bible is our final authority,
we basically taken that power away from anybody and empowered the individual to say, hey,
You know, you don't have to go to some, you know, creepy Catholic priest who calls himself
father and dresses like your mother and confess to him all over your sins.
You don't have to do any of that.
You could just tell God about your sins yourself and you can confess directly to him.
And so, you know, this is the power that God wants to give to people.
He wants to empower people to be able to go directly to Him.
And He wants to empower people to just read the Bible and get their Bible directly from the Bible.
And to confirm anything that the preacher is saying for themselves from the Bible.
And they don't have to be subject to whatever the Catholic priest says.
They can go directly to the Bible themselves.
And this is true Christianity.
where we want to empower the individual to be spiritual,
and we want to empower the individual to be close with God themselves,
and to know the mind of God themselves,
and to know the heart of God themselves,
and to know His doctrine themselves,
and not going through a guru who says,
hey, well, if you go back to the Greek,
it says something completely different.
Then I'm relying upon them.
Let's see, did I read Hebrews 414 yet?
Have I read that verse yet?
No, okay, so let's just read that real quick.
It says Hebrews 414, it says,
seeing then we have a great high priest
that has passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession,
for we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with a feeling of our infirmities,
but was in all points tempted like as we are,
yet without sin, let us,
Therefore, come boldly under the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
So according to the Bible here, you as an individual saved Christian can go boldly before the throne of grace.
And that you as an individual may obtain mercy, and you're obtaining mercy, this mercy is coming directly from God.
You don't have to go through a bureaucracy of the Catholic Church nor obtain mercy. You can go directly to God
You can go boldly before that throne of grace. Why? Because guess what?
You know, we're children of God and you know, when you're a little kid, you know
You don't have to go through some bureaucracy in order to make a request to your parents
You know you just go directly. I mean my kids, you know, they're not going to like HR or something family HR to go figure out
You know if they can have some juice or not, you know, they just come directly to me like hey, can I have sunny D?
You know, and I'm like no, you know, whatever and so, you know
They don't they don't have to go through family HR or whatever
They don't have to go to some priests or some goofy thing like that
And when you think about it in those terms, it's actually pretty ridiculous if you think about it
Oh, no, you know, we have to we have to go through the Catholic priests and you know
We can't just talk to God directly, you know, we have to go well
We have to go either Mother Mary or we have to go to the priest or we have to you know, do this or whatever
you know if you think about it in the sense of a family it's like no you just
go directly to your parents and so you know we could just go to our father in
heaven directly we can just go directly to the throne of grace and so that takes
me to my final point here
believe i messed up my notes i did mess up my notes this is how embarrassing
all right so i actually have two more points last one's really short
we might not even do that point we'll see uh but okay so the bible says
go ahead and turn to Ephesians chapter number five Ephesians chapter number five
but
which is why I thought this verse in Hebrew was supposed to go to that point.
But...
At least I think I don't even know my notes are are messed up here
I don't know how this happened
But my next point is is that the Catholics they do not believe in biblical authority
They do not believe in biblical authority and you know what you know
This is something we talk about all the time here
But biblical authority is something that we will I will personally absolutely stand on until the day I die
Okay
And you say well, can you prove biblical authority from the Bible?
Go we're in Ephesians chapter number nine, and I want to prove biblical authority from the Bible
Because you know Catholics a lot of times they'll be like well does the Bible say
You know that the Bible is the because you know we have
I'm not guilty of saying this more than anybody, but you know what this is a totally true saying
But you know the Bible is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice
The Catholic will come along and say, but is that true? Does the Bible say that the the Bible's the authority in all manners of faith and practice?
Well, I believe it does and I want to prove that from the Bible
Because of course the Catholic Church they'll teach while the Bible is an authority
But we also have the apostolic authority, you know, because Jesus, he said, you know, he said to Peter that, you know, you're the first pope, and I'm going to build my church upon you, and basically all the popes that come after Peter, who was a pope, who by the way was married, even though popes can't be married, you know, they'll have the same authority that Jesus gave to Peter.
Right, and so that means that the Pope has authority from God
But that of course is not true
There's no verse in the Bible that that says the Pope has any authority at all
He just told Peter upon him. He's gonna build his church
What does that mean? That means he's using people to build the church.
We read that verse earlier that talked about the different stones, right?
There's multiple stones and the fact that we're priests and we're part of the building structure of the church.
And so, yeah, he's building the church on Peter, because what?
He's using every believer that's actually going to church. He's using them to build the church.
Why? Because the church is made up of individual people. That's why.
But the Bible says let me prove biblical authority real quick, though
It says in Ephesians 5 verse number 23 says for the husband is the head of the wife
Even as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior of
The body so what do we have in this verse? We have husbands are in charge of their husband or of their wives
We have husbands in charge of their wives, right? And are wives in charge of their children?
Yes, mothers are in charge of their children and their wives, they have their husbands that are in charge of them and
you know who in this in this in this specific scripture basically Christ,
you know, he is the head of the church.
And so, go ahead and turn to Colossians, chapter number one.
There's only one book of Colossians in case anybody was wondering.
We're going to look at Colossians chapter number one.
Look at verse number 18.
It says, he is the head of the body,
the church who's the beginning,
the first born from the dead,
that in all things he might have the preeminence.
is Christ and for some reason I didn't get this verse in here but there's a
verse that says that Christ is the head of every man and that probably is in
Ephesians chapter number five if I if I remember correctly but so the Bible is
very clear that the Christ he's the head of the church amen it's very clear
multiple scriptures on that
But also Christ is the head in other words. He's in charge of every man
First Corinthians 11 chapter number three, let's say let's all turn there
Somehow that verse didn't get in my notes
But this is this is part of my proof for why you know, I believe in biblical authority you said first Corinthians 11 verse 3
first Corinthians 11
Isn't it awesome that we have these phones and we can just look up?
It's great.
But it says, but I would have you to know that the head of every man is Christ,
and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
So basically, you know pretty much every single individual is going to be covered in that situation because you've got all the dudes
All the all the women all the kids everybody. Everybody's covered in this situation
or in this verse
And you know and Christ is the head of the church
So he's in charge of all the individuals and as a whole
Christ
Has the preeminence Christ is in charge right amen is everybody see what the Bible saying here the crisis in charge
So how does that relate to biblical authority? Does that prove biblical authority?
I absolutely believe that this proves, without a shadow of a doubt, biblical authority.
And it absolutely disproves, you know, this Catholic authority, or what do they call it?
Apostolic authority. Completely disproves apostolic authority.
Because you know the apostles they need to be under the authority of Christ and any saved Christian anywhere is under the authority of Christ
You know and you know these Catholic priests
They could be under the authority of Christ if they want if they could get saved if they would just believe on Jesus Christ
Then they could be under biblical authority too. They could have the same thing
But you know, they're under their own authority, you know, they just made up all their own rules
You know because they don't care about what the Bible actually says, but I'm but but so so everybody's under the authority of Jesus Christ
But look at everyone turn to John chapter number one
Everybody's shocked I'm going to John chapter one, right?
John chapter number one, it says in the beginning was the word
and the word was with God and the word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
So the Bible's real clear here that, you know,
in the beginning was the word, what is this word?
Well, this is the word of God, okay?
And it says, you know, verse 14, it says,
and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
I wonder, you know, who in the world could this be talking about?
And you know, the flash, you know, the word became, was made flash, like, what are we talking about?
You know, he's the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Well, I, it's pretty, you know, pretty clear, John 3.16 says,
Forgotton of the world that gave his only begotten Son,
The whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
So, who's the only begotten of the Father?
Of course that's Jesus Christ. I mean unless I'm he's gonna come in here and tell me that John 3 16 is actually not referring to Jesus Christ
He's actually not the only beyond of the father. It's actually somebody else. That's that's insane. That's craziness. No
Jesus is the word and that means
That Jesus authority equals biblical authority by friend. So the Bible is in charge
And when the Bible is your boss, you're a Baptist, my friend.
So I absolutely believe in a biblical authority.
Anybody that believes the Bible should absolutely believe in biblical authority.
It's, in my opinion, it's set in stone.
You know, I can't see anybody coming up with anything that would say otherwise because if Jesus is in charge
That means the word of God is in charge. That means the Bible is in charge my friend
But again the Bible's reject or that excuse me the Catholics
Reject this doctrine and they say no no no no no we have
Apostolic authority bestowed and be cleaved on to all the popes that have been a part of the Catholic Church
But you know what they have received no authority from God
Why? Because they are in a religion that is outside of God's religion and they are in
fact in rebellion against God so they have no authority from God whatsoever.
And so you don't have to listen to anything some goofy Catholic priest ever has to say.
And I think that's going to end it for us tonight.
I'm going to skip our last point.
All right, dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, Lord.
I thank you for everything you've done for us.
Lord, we thank you that you have given us your word,
that we can go directly to you, and that we don't have to go
through the Catholic Church, and we don't have to go through any
man to receive blessings and mercy from you, Lord.
And we can go directly to you with any and all of our problems.
And Lord, we thank you that salvation was free and that was easy.
And Lord, we pray that you would help people to not be deceived
and become Christians and be saved, Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen.
All right, our last song, number 28.
Alas and did my savior bleed.
It's unfortunate when Brother Jason was asking
for that verse, I was like, Hebrews 2 9.
And I was in the back with winter
because she's a slave.
I was like, Hebrews 2 9.
That's funny.
Song number 28 alas and did my savior bleed
Song number 28, let's meet together on the first
Alas and did my savior bleed and did my song
That's a great head for such a...
the sun in darkness hide and shut his glories in. When Christ the mighty maker died for
myself to the tits all that I can do. Amen, good seeing you brother. Jake, could you close
the board of prayer?
