Good singing, Brother Ryan with Jebs with Order of Prayer.
Amen. Our second song will be sung over 449.
You on the second
At this time, we'll have our announcements.
Amen and good morning.
It's not just one of those songs that you just love to hear.
It's one of those times where you just sing and you just hear.
You know, that is just a beautiful, beautiful way
to start the morning.
All right, the verse of the week is Hebrews 1, verse 8.
Hebrews 1, verse 8.
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God,
is forever and ever.
And the scripture of righteousness
is the scepter of Thy kingdom.
It is scepter, not scripture.
I apologize.
A little dyslexia there, but.
But that's Hebrews 1, verse 8. Hebrews 1, verse 8 for this week.
Sunday morning times are at 10.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. in the afternoon and our
Wednesday evening Bible studies at 6.30 p.m. Hope to see everyone there.
So many times we're 10.30 a.m. on Saturday yesterday and I believe we had one salvation.
Amen. And then tonight at 1 we will go out soul winning in between services.
Salvation reports so far. We had seven in July. We've had ten for August, which brings us to a total of 69 so far for this year.
So, looking good going through. The attendances are down below.
Sierra, I have a question. Are we still doing a baptism later today?
Are we doing a baptism later today? No. Okay, never mind. All right.
So we'll hold on to that, that was something
talked about last week or I heard, but it's fine.
All right. So let's say the salvation's
as he attends to report.
Hey, kids, please remember,
the verse of this week for you to remember is Proverbs 11.
Proverbs 20 verse 11, Proverbs 20 verse 11,
and if you can recite that by the King James wording,
you can get a piece of candy from Miss Kylie.
You just have to present to her.
So just a good thing to get the word of God in the young minds
and just be able to start memorizing verses at a young age.
All right, and then let's see here.
Out of all the birthdays, I believe,
With James not here, I believe we still have Rebeccae.
Oh, all right.
We have two birthdays we need to sing for.
So if you would join with me to sing Happy Birthday,
I'd be joy to sing again.
Happy birthday to you.
Woo!
Happy birthday to you.
Woo-hoo!
Happy birthday, God bless you.
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
me on the two birthdays there and hey remember we are it's fundamental church we celebrate life
all right that is why you know I know some churches like oh that's very prideful hey we just
celebrate God giving us each one of you for yet another year all right and that's worth celebrating
upcoming events. We have a few. Hey, next weekend is the Chini Soul Winning, so if
you wish to go Soul Winning on Saturday, we'll have a Soul Winning time and we'll
actually be meeting in Chini to further on knocking out that community. And
whether this year or maybe slightly into next year, I haven't really looked at the
map, but we're working through, we will knock that whole community out. So, hey,
it's really good to go down there. It's already bear fruit for us, so amen. You
So that will be Brother Ryan will have more details of the meeting up if you'd like to go next weekend, let him know he will share that information.
Also coming up for the first time in a few years, next Sunday will be the men's preaching night.
So we'll have our regular services, but all the men that have volunteered are going to get up, have 10-15 minutes sermons,
and we'll just hear what men bring forward to practice and we support this because we want every person.
every lady to be able to go out and preach the gospel.
They're on the pulpit, we just think having men
actually focus to prepare a certain talk on a topic
helps them just present themselves,
study the word of God, and just see deeper meanings
that some of us miss because we all think differently.
So it's a great way to bring new ideas
or different ways to look at the same topics forward.
So that's the first time we've had in a while.
That'll be next Sunday night
for all the men that have volunteered.
So look forward to that.
Now, next month, coming up shortly,
hey, we have one of our annual events,
basically the weekend of the 20th.
On Friday night, Pastor Thompson will come out
on September the 19th,
and will be giving us a special service,
a special preaching service,
so that's a great thing to have him come out here.
One reason he's coming out here is,
our church every year for,
Many years. I don't even know how many years we've been doing this. We take time to go out and we go to Silverwood
I don't know if it's true this year. We usually go right after Boulder Beach's
Closed one. It's a little less crowded and two, you know, we have dress standards and we try to hold that
But no matter how you come, this is something we usually do. We go out. We try to bring the church there
We have a good family. You know family time there. Sometimes we forget to actually mingle with each other while we're there
but hey
we go we have some good memories get some good photos it's been fun so that'll be
september 20th if you would like to go please let Remy know and we'll get organized and all that
and then uh the day after so 19th pastor tonsil appreciating friday night 20th we're going to go
And then, September 21st, we're going to have David Acre come out and preach both services.

So if you want to participate with that, hey, please come there.
You can come to the special night, and hey, if you'd like to go to Silverwood Delos,

But you man got to step it up on the second song 145 on the second
What would you bless the offering for us?
to Sure Foundation Baptist Church, if you could go ahead and take your bibles into First Timothy
chapter number three. First Timothy chapter three, and here at Sure Foundation Baptist Church we
read the entire chapter before the preaching. First Timothy chapter three, the Bible reads,
this is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desire it the good work.
A bishop, then, must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior,
given to hospitality.
apt to teach, not given to wine, nor striker,
not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler,
not covetous, one that ruleth well his own house,
having his children in subjection with all gravity.
For if a man know not how to rule his own house,
how shall he take care of the church of God?
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride,
Moreover, he must have a good report of them which are without, lest he fall into reproach
and the snare of the devil.
Likewise, must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy
of filthy lucre, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience, and let these
also first be proved, then let them use the office of a deacon being found blameless.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own house as well.
for they that have used the office of a deacon well
purchased to themselves a good degree
and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
These things write I unto thee,
hoping to come unto thee shortly,
but if I tarry long that thou mayest know how to,
thou oddest to behave thyself in the house of God,
which is the church of the living God,
the pillar and ground of the truth.
And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness.
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Brother Paul, could you please pray for the preaching?
Thank you so much for the state.
Thank you so much for all of us to hear this entire chapter read to us.
You guys are there in 1st Timothy 3, we're going to focus in on verse number 16 to get
this timer going.
So I don't keep you guys hostage.
1st Timothy 316, that's I've evolved enough to do that because Miss Jessica, she's not
here right this in the moment, but she did a test of the fact that it was the opposite
before.
It was more like I'm praying to get over 30 minutes.
First Timothy 3 16 those are we're gonna focus it on the Bible says and without controversy greatest a mystery of gobbiness
God was manifest in the flesh
Justified in the spirit seen of angels preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world received up into glory
The thought my sermon this morning is watch for the watch tower. Let's pray deal with the God. Thank you so much
It's a wonderful day. Thank you so much for everything you do for us God
Thank you so much for this church and everybody that's here God. I just pray that you would um
Be with me as I preach this morning, God.
I pray that you fill me with your Holy Spirit, God,
and be with brother Paul as he preaches this sermon tonight.
I just pray that you'd help me to have a clear train of thought,
God, as I preach this.
God, be clear of what I'm saying, God.
And I just pray that you would help me to edify the people
in this room and help them to understand the subject better
after I'm done preaching it.
Jesus, I pray, amen.
Amen.
The title of my sermon, again, like I said, is Watch for the Watchtower.
We're here in 1st Smithy 316, and I'm going to be preaching against some of the doctrines
and beliefs of the Watchtower Society, which is otherwise known as the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The reason I'm doing this is because, I have a few reasons for this, is that, number one,
it's good for everybody in the church just to know where we stand at doctrinally, just
in general.
I think a big problem with a lot of churches nowadays
is that they don't preach doctrine from behind the pulpit.
A lot of churches do a really good job
of preaching truths and principles from the Bible,
which is necessary, we need those things.
But you also have to balance that out
with just sheer doctrine.
Because doctrine is one of the key things
that holds a church together
and that we can fellowship over.
And when doctrine isn't preached,
it just allows people to just bring up
whatever kind of beliefs they want in a church.
So for that reason, I think it's good
just to talk about some of these doctrines.
and rather why we don't believe these false doctrines
from the Jehovah's Witnesses.
But number two with this sermon,
I wanna strengthen your faith in what we believe is Baptist
because I think it's specifically important
to talk about this when it comes to this religion
because this religion goes door to door
to try and convert people over
and to make them too full of more of the child of hell.
Like the Bible says so.
I think it's important to bring up these things because the odds are that since we go out
soulning, we're going to encounter these kinds of people and because of the fact that they
go out and knock doors, that they're going to encounter us.
And you should have an answer for these people.
When they come to your door or at the very least if someone's like a co-worker of yours that believes these things
Or maybe you have a family there that believes these things
We want to be able to give them a good answer from the Bible for what we believe not just like oh
We believe this because that's what our church says to believe right and so
It's important to do that good of Titus 3 10 if you would real quick because
The Jehovah's Witnesses out of all of these false religions,
they know their Bible pretty well most of the time.
Especially the ones that are going door to door,
they know their Bible.
And I should put emphasis on their Bible,
because they have their own translation of the Bible
called the New World Translation,
which I always want to call the New World Order Translation
just by habit.
And the same thing with the watchtower.
I was telling brother Paul for the sermon.
I was like, the watchtower just always
makes me think of the eye of Sauron.
That's what I think of whenever I hear watchtower society,
OK?
But so it's important to know this because of the fact
that they know their Bible and you
don't want to get, you know, take a task by them.
You guys are going to Titus 3, 2.
I want to make something clear, though.
What?
One of the reasons I'm not preaching this sermon for though is so that you can go out and argue with these people
Because I just want you to realize that arguing with someone that's a die-hard Jehovah's Witness or a die-hard Mormon
Or any of these kind of things. It's really just a waste of your time at the end of the day
Like what do we see there in Titus 3 10?
It says this it says a man that is in heretic after the first and second Abonition reject
Knowing that he that is such is subverted in sin of being condemned of himself
And the Bible also says in Revelation like he that is filthy let him be filthy still
right? So like if someone is locked down in their beliefs, we don't want to just
waste a bunch of time with these kinds of people out the door out-sowning. So you
give, when we're going out-sowning, this is just like a rule of thumb. If you show
someone two verses and they don't hear what they say, like they just reject them.
Not that they're confused, but they just flat out reject them. You should just
mark that person as a heretic and keep walking. Because you're wasting your time
and here's the thing about the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons, they both
want to waste our time at the door. That's why the Mormons pretend like they
When we go to their door just for you to preach in the gospel at the very end. They're like surprise
I believe in Joseph Smith actually it's like they how many times the people have you have you had that happen?
Do you have the door before like they're like, oh, I'm interested
But they're a liar they and they're doing that because they don't want you to go out and preach the true gospel
To the rest of the people that are in that community and so for that reason again
I don't want this to be a sermon that would embolden you to argue with these kinds of people
But this is what I want it to be for for maybe if you're talking to someone that's a co-worker or that someone that's um
you know not as into it maybe they're like more backslidden or like they're like a Jack
Jehovah's Witness like kind of like a Jack Mormon or something like that or someone maybe like
there could be a specific situation where maybe you're talking with someone and they have family
members around or just friends that are listening something like that obviously you can kind of
think about what scenarios would be applicable in but just going back and forth with someone
that's die hard is not what we want to be doing okay but just to be clear
As I get into this main part of this sermon, you guys, while I'm doing that, go to, um, oh,
we're going to stay in first Timothy. Just to be clear, though, with this sermon.
When we preach against false religions like this,
it's not because we hate these people.
Like, we do not just hate every single Jehovah's Witness
that is out there, okay?
But we do what the Bible says
where we hate every false way.
That comes from David in the Psalms.
We love the Bible.
We love truth.
We love the real gospel.
That's why we hate the way of Jehovah's Witnesses,
but not the people.
We want them to get saved.
We want them to believe on Jesus Christ.
So I just think it's important to kind of point that out
I'm, because I already know I'm probably gonna get worked up about some of this stuff just because I, it's, I think a lot of it's just damnable heresy, but, like...
You got to look past the yelling on that and see the passion deep down,
and see that comes from a place of love deep down there.
But you guys are there in 1 Timothy 3, verse number 16.
That is the third reason I have for preaching this sermon is because
multiple of the heresies that the Jehovah's Witnesses teach are damnable heresies.
They pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ.
None of them is more blatant or more obvious than this one right here,
which is that the Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jesus Christ is God.
the Son of God, that he's not divine in any way. He'd be similar to like an angel in their belief,
but they do do some work to say that he's above the angels, but it's basically like
he's not God, and he's not man. He's like in like a limbo, and he's not an angel either in their belief.
But that's why we're here in First Timothy 3.16,
because the Bible says this, it says,
and without controversy,
great is the mystery of God,
meaning as God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.
If you're reading a King James Bible right here,
this verse is exceedingly obvious
that Jesus Christ is God.
He's the one who was manifest in the flesh.
He was the one that was justified in the spirit.
All these things obviously apply to Jesus Christ.
But when I was making this sermon, this actually shocked me almost all the modern versions,
if not all of them, take out God from this verse and they just say he was to make it
like really ambiguous.
And that's just reason 1127, why I'm going to stick with the King James over all these
modern versions because they lie about the modern versions.
They try to just act like the modern versions are just like an update of the King James
That's just not true though.
They actually are translated from different Greek manuscripts.
It's not just them modernizing the King James language.
They are translating from different Greek texts.
One of those errors that they have right here is that in their Greek texts,
it doesn't have God there.
So they're just like, he is the manifest in the flesh.
Who's the he? I don't know.
But the Jehovah's Witnesses of course go with
the modern manuscripts because it takes out God there.
But where are we at here?
Go to John 1.1 if you would real quick,
John 1 verse number one.
It was actually interesting when I was comparing,
because I was looking up all the verses I'm going to use in
the sermon in their translation,
the New World Translation,
just to see how they twist things.
I was looking for good verses to use on
the Trinity from their own Bible,
so that they couldn't wiggle out of it.
But they do a number.
on the verses that we would commonly use to prove the Trinity like almost every single verse that
I was going to they just change it in their own Bible and you guys can see an example you guys are
there in John 1 1 here's what the Bible says and follow along in the King James as I read this in
their version it says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God listen to this it says
The word was, Jesus is a God, which doesn't help their case because then they're just believing in a multiplicity of gods, right?
Which is the whole thing they're supposed to be against in the first place, but it's like in our Bible
It says in the game was the word and the word was with God and the word was God and the word was manifest in the flesh
And it dwelt among us, right? That's what we see from the book of John here, but their Bible changes this now
I just want to let you know, though, that they're 100% wrong in this translation, okay?
And I could break down to you why that is, but I'm just going to spare you guys right
now because all that would be is me like, listing off a bunch of grammar stuff.
And does anybody really want to hear that on a Sunday morning?
Like the subjective pronoun of this, probably won't even understand what I'm saying, okay?
I'd barely probably understand what I was saying if I repeated it from an article, okay?
But you could go look it up in your own time, but this is what I would submit to you from
Modern version translates this the same way that the King James does was was God and
We don't appeal to the modern versions as our authority
But the reason I bring that up is this is that the Jehovah's Witnesses and the modern versions translate from the same Greek texts
So if the Jehovah's Witnesses are translating from the same text as everybody else
But they're the only one that has a different translation here that should show you that there's something weird going on
You understand what I'm saying like they because at least if they have a different text from us that
could make sense, but even the other texts from the Texas
Receptus, like the Kodas of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,
everybody that translates their manuscripts from that,
or their Bibles from those manuscripts come up
with the same thing as the King James.
So they're just out on an island on this verse.
And the reason why is obvious,
is because they wanna change the Bible
to fit their own pet doctrine
that Jesus Christ is not God.
Good Isaiah 9, verse number six.
Isaiah nine, verse number six.
Because this actually in all the research that I was doing about them was one of the verses that they don't butcher too bad actually
Isaiah 9
Verse number six the Bible says this for a child. This is their version by the way
Just make sure you know that says for a child has been born to us
A son has been given to us and the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called
Wonderful counselor mighty God eternal father prince of peace
This is their Bible that says that so like there's two things. I want you to notice about this number one is this is that it says in that verse his
name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father,
which is ironic because if you know anything about the Jehovah's Witnesses,
when we refer to God as God,
what do they always say to us?
That's a title. That's not a name.
It's a title. But in their own Bible version,
it says His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father.
Imagine making your own Bible version to twist the scripture and still fumbling a passage like this.
Also, in line with that same thinking,
the reason why, because obviously God has multiple names.
Like we know him by the name Jehovah, by God, by Lord.
Lord God Almighty, Ancient of Days, Alpha and Omega, right?
There's a bunch of names that God has.
But the reason why God a lot of times
is just referred to as God, like that,
is because that's the ultimate display of authority and power.
Because it's not like, oh, which God do you believe in?
It's like, we don't believe in any of these gods.
God, the only God. We believe in the Lord, the only Lord that there is.
And so that's why his name, it's not as his title, it is his name, his name is God.
But number two about this is that they'll say with this verse, in these verses, because that's
pretty, what I read to you, you'd think like, how do they get out of this? Okay, this is what they
say, they say, no, no, no, mighty God in this verse just means a good ruler.
It's like, okay, well, then why didn't you translate it as good ruler then?
Because this is their translation.
They're like, no, no, no, it doesn't really mean God.
It's like, well, then why'd you put God there?
This is what they translated.
And this is crazy too.
This is a side note.
But when I was looking up who translated the New World Translation,
it's just an anonymous committee.
Like they didn't want to put their names on this.
And I could see why now because they're butchering it, okay?
It's like an anonymous group of people in 1947 translated this.
Go to Micah 5-2, Micah 5, verse number 2.
Because when I was reading this verse,
I was like, oh, it calls an eternal father.
So I was thinking to myself,
I wonder what they say about Micah when it says that he comes from old,
from everlasting.
Listen what the Bible says in Micah 5-2.
It says, this is a different version,
not the King James.
It says, but you,
O Bethlehem Ephrata,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me,
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
who's coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
But hold on for a second.
This actually isn't the New World Translation.
You know what that is?
That's the ESV that says that.
Every other modern translation of the Bible changes that there,
from everlasting like the King James says,
to from ancient days or from olden days or
something like that along with those lines.
That's reason 1228, when I'm sticking with the King James over any of the modern versions,
because the modern versions give Jesus Christ an origin point, just like the Jobas witnesses do.
They say that he comes from ancient days.
No, Jesus Christ does not come from ancient days, he comes from everlasting.
He had no origin because he's God manifest in the flesh.
And so all these other modern versions, they're wrong.
And they give ammunition to the Jehovah's Witnesses
by butchering this translation of the verse,
saying he's from ancient days.
No, he's not from ancient days.
He is the ancient of days.
He's not from ancient days though.
He's from everlasting.
But I would read you what it says
in the Jehovah's Witness Bible,
but it just says basically the same thing.
So I'll just leave it at that.
But let me just...
Palate cleans you real quick just we give the King James on this it says but
thou Bethlehem Ephrata though thou be little among the thousands Judah yet
out of thee shall come shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in
Israel whose goings forth have been from of old from everlasting that is the
Jesus that we believe in from the Bible who is not a created being like the
Jehovah's Witnesses also believe that I'm not gonna touch on today but Jesus
Christ is God so he has no beginning
Go to Hebrews one verse number eight.
Hebrews one verse number eight.
I just thought that was insane when I was reading,
like when I was prepping for this sermon,
I was like, what does the ESV say?
But like they go with what the Jehovah's Witnesses go with
on so many of these verses that I'm going to show you.
But here's one that they don't do this on.
And here's again, where they're on an island
with Hebrews one verse, Hebrews one eight.
Cause again, I wanted to point out to you on John one one
where it says in the beginning was the word
and the word was with God and the word was God.
Every other Bible version translates it the way that the King James does except for the Jehovah's Witnesses
I just say every reputable Bible version because there's obviously gonna be some bozos that go and just make their own translation, right?
But this is the second one where every other Bible version out there agrees with the King James in this translation
Look what it says in Hebrews 1 verse 8. It says this is a great verse to prove that Jesus is God by the way
It says but unto the Son he saith thy throne
Oh God is forever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
Let me read what the New World Translation says about this. It says,
But about the sun, he says, God is your throne forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is
I'm gonna give you five reasons why this is wrong just like I'm telling you like I was like
This is unbelievable that they actually do this right here
Number one is that again every other
Translation even when they use the different Greek manuscripts translates at the exact same way that the King James does right here
So they're just on an island on this which would be a red flag to you number two is this what is God?
Is your throne even mean what like God is your throne forever? What?
Like, even when I like type this in chat to GBT,
I'm like, does this have like any kind of like metaphoric meaning?
And it's like, no,
scholars agree that that's a really awkward translation on that.
I'm like, yeah, okay, that's what I thought.
Speaking of chat GBT too,
because chat GBT is never wrong.
But when I type this in on this,
I was just like, is this a valid translation of this from
the Greek text and I plugged in the Greek text to it?
And this is what the chat GBT said.
I thought it was funny because it's trying to like be
kind at first because it doesn't know if you're a Jehovah's Witness.
in their own way, according to their own beliefs,
it is an accurate translation.
I was like, no, no, no, chat, GBT.
Stop simping for the Jehovah's Witnesses.
I was like, according to the Greek text,
I was like, is this an accurate translation?
It said, no, it is not.
No other translation translates it that way.
So they're absolutely wrong about it, okay?
Number four about this is that I can look at this verse
and tell you,
Just by my little basic understanding of Greek,
what it actually says, okay?
Because the structure right there is very, very simple.
It uses Othronosu, which is like your throne, okay?
This is how easy this verse is.
Kylie, who's a basic Greek learner,
she's just doing Duolingo.
I took her to this verse and the Greek and I was like,
can you read what that section says right there?
And she said, your throne.
talking from the mouth of a little babe on Doolingo, okay?
And she's getting that right.
And the Jehovah's Witnesses, for some reason,
they come to a different conclusion than everybody else.
You know why? It's because they're twisting the scripture
to make it say what they want it to in their translation.
And that's wicked as hell, really, when you think about it.
Number five about this, and this one's probably the best proof that I could show you,
go to Psalms 45 verse number six, if you would, Psalms 45-6.
Because if you don't realize this shoots them really bad in the foot this is a quotation from Psalms
So you can look at how they translated in Hebrew and see if they're rendering it right in the Greek text as well
And guess what it says in the Hebrew just like what the King James says Psalms 45 verse number six
It says thy throne. Oh God is forever and ever the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter
So according to all those things,
the Jehovah's Witnesses are 100 percent wrong on all of that.
You can prove that from the Bible,
from logic, from the Internet, from everybody.
Only the Jehovah's Witnesses come to that interpretation,
and they do it to twist the Bible to fit their own beliefs.
Let me read you what JW.org said about this.
Because this one is nice about the Jehovah's Witnesses.
You can fact-check everything what they
believe because they put it out online.
It says this about Hebrews 1.
In verse number eight it says it should be noted that Hebrews 1a is a quotation from Psalms 45, 6 and 7
which originally was addressed to a human king of Israel.
Surely the writer of Psalms did not think that this human king was Almighty God
and neither did the writer of Hebrews think that Jesus was Almighty God.
Okay, well, number one, the writer of Hebrews absolutely does think that Jesus Christ is
Almighty God because that's what he's proving in Hebrews chapter one.
And through the first like four chapters, he's like, Jesus is better than Moses.
He's better than the angels.
He's better than mankind.
Why is that?
Because he's the creator of all things.
You know why he's the creator of all things?
Because he is God.
That's why.
So that's just blatant lie.
What are they this is a prophecy of Jesus Christ? Okay, so no the huge like this the the human king
Didn't think that he was like God Almighty. This is a prophecy of God Almighty, which was Jesus Christ though
But they obviously fumbled that because they don't want the Bible to says what it actually does
Go to Psalms 83 verse 18. Point number one of the sermon was this, is that the Jehovah's Witnesses,
one of the Daniel Hatter says that they teach is that Jesus Christ is not God. And if you don't
believe Jesus Christ is God, then you're not saved at the end of the day. You must believe that Jesus
Christ is God. Um...
Number two, I wouldn't say this is a dandelion heresy, but this is a weird lie that they tell people and that is the lot
They lie about the name of Jehovah. They say that the name Jehovah has been renewed removed from the Bible
7,000 times. This is a very common talking point that they have. I'm sure if you've met a Jehovah's Witness before they'll say this to you
I've had multiple of them bring this up to me
They're like I like to go with the New World Translation because it actually keeps the real name of God in our scriptures
And on the surface, this sounds a little bit jarring, like, you're like, wait a minute, why is the Bible removing the name of God, which would be Jehovah?
And one of his names is Jehovah's what I should say and I just want to caveat that a legitimate name for God is Jehovah
I hope we all understand that it's not that like this is a fake name that they're going by it's just one of his many names
It's not just his only name though. You guys are going to Psalms 83
Verse number 18. I think that this is probably the dangerous thing that they have
you don't have any knowledge on this subject. And why do they say this? I'm
going to try to make this as clear as possible. Look at Psalms 83 verse 18. It
says this. It says, that men may know that thou whose name alone is Jehovah are
the most high over all the earth. That's what the King James says if you guys
went there. And so we see right here the name Jehovah and it's all capitalized if
you if your Bible does that.
And the reason for that is because the name Jehovah in this verse is coming from a Hebrew word that we refer to as in English as the Tetragrammaton.
Which is ironic because Tetragrammaton is Greek, okay?
It's kind of like Deuteronomy when you said it's like the second law and that comes from Greek, which I was like, why though?
But anyway, that's the same thing here.
Tetragrammaton is Greek and what it means is four letters, okay?
So you can imagine how many letters are in this word right here, okay, four of them, okay,
if you're homeschooled or something like that. Go to Genesis 2 verse number four though.
Genesis 2-4. So this is a big word. The tetragrammaton though, okay?
But don't let it discourage you. It just means four letters, okay?
And what the four letters are referring to is this, is Y-H-W-H.
That is like the name Jehovah, okay? We refer to it as the tetragrammaton.
So just know that all these things are basically synonymous. Jehovah...
Tetragrammaton, the capital Y-H-W-H, these are all the same thing, okay?
Hopefully you guys can understand that as we're going through this.
So anytime you see in the King James a big old capital letters for the name of God,
it's usually referring to the name Jehovah. So you guys are going to Genesis 2 verse number 4, but every time you see the capital L-O-R-D,
that is the the Y-H-W-H, which is the tetragrammaton again, okay?
You guys are going to Genesis 2 verse number four
It says this, it says,
these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
So if you were to look at Psalms 83-18 where it said Jehovah in big caps,
and then you look at this verse,
that's the exact same Hebrew word.
And it again is the Tetragrammaton, okay?
Trying to drill that into your guys' heads,
you never forget that, okay?
But what I want to make clear about this is that,
the translators basically did the capital L-O-R-D so that we'd always know when that name pops up
in the Bible, in the Old Testament. It's only found in the Old Testament, by the way. And I want to
make it clear as well that the name Jehovah simply means Lord. These things are interchangeable.
Jehovah is Lord, Lord is Jehovah. These things mean the exact same thing.
So it's not a bad translation when the Bible does that.
Go to Isaiah 40, verse number three real quick.
Isaiah 40, verse number three.
This is where the Jehovah's Witnesses lie,
kind of comes into fruition though.
They say, like, see right here, it changes.
It takes out the name Jehovah
and it puts in the name Lord in the Bible.
You're like, the Bible should not be doing that.
It removes the true name of God.
Six thousand plus times is what they say.
Here's why they're wrong about this though number one is again, Jehovah means Lord
So that's an accurate translation Jehovah's Lord Lord of Jehovah. Okay. It's either the same thing. Okay
Number two is this though is that the King James is right about this and it actually follows the example that God gives us
When we translate the name Jehovah from one language to another now do me a favor real quick
Follow me you blog out what I say for the rest of sermon if you really want to okay
If you're just too tired, but reel your tick-tock brain in for a second and listen what I'm saying because it's important about this
And it's a little hard to follow. So just try to stick with me number one is this what language it was the Old Testament written in
Hebrew right? And if you're a little fancy you can say Hebrew and Aramaic, but it's mainly Hebrew, okay?
The New Testament, what is it written in?
written in Greek, okay?
So you guys are there in Isaiah 40 verse three.
So we're gonna be reading a Hebrew verse, right?
Obviously translated into English.
It says, the voice of him that cries in the wilderness,
prepare you the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
And that capital L-O-R-D is the Tetragrammaton,
which is the name Jehovah, okay?
So now we're gonna look at where this verse is quoted
into the New Testament.
So go to Luke three, verse number four,
verse number four we're going to see. The reason we're doing this is we're
seeing how God Himself translates the name Jehovah when He moves it from the
language of Hebrew to the language of Greek. Luke 3 verse number four it says
this, as it is written in the book of the words of the Isaiah the prophet saying
the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his path straight.
So this is what the Jehovah's Witnesses say right there.
They're saying, oh, no, the Bible's removing the name Jehovah right there.
It should be Jehovah in this verse.
Not so though and you can prove that because the fact that this that the word Jehovah is not in the underlying Greek for this verse
What is the word that's used?
Lord, okay, so let me just kind of break this down and make it clear to you
Okay, we're talking about the verses first in Hebrew and it translates over he or a excuse me
And then the Bible's writing over and he's quoting this verse in Greek. Okay, so this is the verse in Greek right here up here
So who's responsible for the underlying Greek text?
Who who's responsible for it? He said the Holy Spirit. That's exactly right, right?
This is God's writing right when we're looking at the original Greek text, okay?
God when he's quoting this verse when he's having Luke write this down under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and he's quoting a
Verse that uses Jehovah in the Hebrew and he's writing it down in Greek. The word he uses is Lord
Kedio is what it is right there. Okay, Kediy was what you actually say
The word Jehovah is found zero times in the New Testament,
not one time in the Greek, okay?
Whenever the word Lord from the Old Testament
is quoted into the Greek,
it is always, always, always rendered as Lord.
And if you think that's wrong,
then you're saying that God's wrong,
because God is the one who wrote this text, right?
Under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost,
Luke pens down this,
and Luke, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost,
uses the word Lord.
Right there, so that proves being a shadow of a doubt that they are wrong about that
And so this is the logic train on this then if
when God is
Translating the name Jehovah from Hebrew to Greek. He writes it down as Lord
then if we're translating from Hebrew into English,
why would we not write it down as Lord as well?
You guys follow what I'm saying right there?
It's kind of a little difficult to understand
and you could probably look it up on your own time
if it's too complex, but that's what we're doing.
We're just following the literal example
that God himself gives us from the Bible.
So, because if they try to say
that we're removing the name Jehovah,
they're saying that God's...
original text is corrupted, okay? They're saying that he made an error when he had Luke write that down,
which they actually do believe, okay? Not that they think it's an error, they think that there's
like this mass conspiracy theory that went and removed the name Jehovah and put in Lord every
single time. It's like, okay, well then what are they saying? They're saying that God didn't actually
preserve His word then. They're saying that the original text is corrupted, and if God's original
word that He promised to preserve us is corrupted, then what hope do we have in anything that the
You guys are there in Luke 3, verse number 4.
Hopefully that made sense.
You guys go to Revelation 1, 8 real quick.
Revelation 1, verse number 8.
The reason why we render this as Lord every time we see it
is because when the Bible translates the name Jehovah
from Hebrew to Greek, it uses the word Lord.
So naturally, if we're following God's example,
when we're translating the name Jehovah
and from Hebrew into English,
we should put it down as Lord as well.
where are we at here? Revelation 1 verse number 8, yes, thank you guys. Revelation
18 says, I am the Alpha, or I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending say
at the Lord, which is and which was and which is to come the Almighty.
Now this is insane because at least I want to just pause this for a second and try to follow my train of thought and the
Old Testament at least when they render the name the L award or the the the YHWH as Jehovah
Even though they're wrong for doing that per se
I understand where they're coming from at the least I could wrap my hand around it
But this is what's unacceptable that Jehovah's Witnesses do in the New Testament
They add the name Jehovah into multiple scriptures where it is not found in the original Greek text just straight up
Take the name and put it in the text knowing that it's not originally there in the first place.
And this is a good example of that because this is what their version of this says in Revelation 1-8.
It says, I'm the Alpha and the Omega says Jehovah God, the one who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
But if you just, you don't even have to take my word for it.
If you look up that verse on Strong's and just look at the underlying Greek text, you'll see they just inserted the word Jehovah.
into the text there. It is nowhere to be found. They are literally just adding to the word of God,
which is obviously, you know, heresy and blasphemy beyond degree, which I want to,
I want to that they're doing this on this book of the Bible, because go over to Revelation 22-18.
Because of all the Bibles you think not to add to the word of God,
you think it'd be kind of revelation because he kind of tells you specifically
not to do that in this book.
Excuse me. It says,
Revelation 22, it says,
for I testifying to you every man that here at the words of the prophecy of this book,
if any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.
The Joe's witnesses look at that in the face and they're like,
hmm, it needs more Jehovah.
Let's throw it in there.
It's crazy. Go to Exodus 3.13.
So the Jehovah's Witnesses they have the people that were on that committee that anonymous committee
They're not anonymous in God's sight and they're gonna be roasting in hell
And they're gonna find out that hell is not a parable like they will lie about as well
They'll find out that that's real fire that they're burning in okay, and that there's gonna be weeping and gnashing of teeth
It's gonna be then that's doing that for all of eternity is what the Bible says
Cuz that's enough. I'm not gonna get into that today, but they teach that hell's just it's a parable. That's a parable, bro
It's just figurative language like weeping and gnashing of teeth. What is the symbolism here? Like what is the parable like?
Doesn't make any sense. Okay
Exodus 3, there's 13, this is just funny,
this has nothing to do with my sermon,
but I thought it was funny when I was writing this.
Look at what the Bible says, it says in King James,
it says, and Moses said unto God,
behold, when I am coming to the children of Israel,
and saying unto them,
the God of your fathers has sent me unto you,
and that ye shall say to me, what is his name?
What shall I say unto them?
Exodus 3.14 it says, And God said to Moses, I am that I am. And he said, Thus shalt thou
say to the children of Israel, I am has sent me unto you. Very powerful verse. And let me
read you what it says in their version though. This is crazy. It says, But Moses said to
the true God, Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, The God of your forefathers
What should I say to them?
So God said to Moses,
says, I will become what I choose to become.
And he added, this is what you are to say to the Israelites.
I will become has sent me to you.
What in the world?
I will become what I choose to become.
Nonsense. Okay.
It's like no wonder Pharaoh didn't let him go.
He was like, what does this guy even say to me right now?
Again, that wasn't anything to do with my sermon, but I just looked it up and I was like,
that's crazy.
And I was like, why do they do that?
And then I was like, this is why they do that, because they don't want that connection
in the New Testament where Jesus Christ says, before Abraham was, I am.
So they just separate that right there.
That's where they do that.
Where are we at?
Excuse me.
Point number one of this sermon was that one of the false instructions of the Jehovah's
Witness that they don't believe that Jesus Christ is God.
Number two is that they lie about the name of Jehovah.
They say that we remove it 6,000 times.
No, no, we correctly follow the example that God does when we're translating the name Jehovah
into English and they add the name Jehovah.
I think it's 237 times into the Greek text in the New Testament.
Number three, though, is this, is that Jehovah's Witnesses,
and this is my last point, it says,
Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe
in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Go to Luke 24, verse 39.
Luke 24, verse 39.
Out of the false doctrines I've been showing you so far, though,
I mean, this probably is not the worst.
I mean, it's pretty bad, though.
I mean, maybe it is the worst that they believe
that it's attacking the gospel, but like,
The other ones, or as this is what I should say,
this is so dumb and so unreasonable
why they come to this conclusion.
I'm just like, why do they do it in the first place?
It's like, they don't have any kind of proof verse.
They don't have anything.
They just wanna double down in stupidity in this verse.
It doesn't make any sense.
Luke 24, verse 39.
Talk about the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ because if you're unaware and sure foundation Baptist church
We believe that Christ died on the cross that he was buried and that he rose again
His flesh rose again his spirit came back to his body and he rose again on the third day
It was not just some spirit that rose again from the grave
That's what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach though that he came up in like a spirit form and didn't actually come back to his body
his physical body
Luke 24 verse 39 though it says this it says well hold my hands and my feet that I or that it is I myself
Handle me and see for a spirit half not flesh and bones as you see me to have
You might think
Surely they change this in their scripture though like because that's pretty clear what Jesus saying right there
It reads almost exactly the same thing in the King James though.
So I'm just like, again, they fumbled this opportunity.
I'm like, how do you guys make your own translation
and still trip up on yourselves?
That's really insane, okay?
But so like, what's the deal here?
What are they thinks going on?
This is what they believe.
They say that Jesus is like materializing a body,
like how the angels would do in the Old Testament
when they would come and visit people.
They say it's basically like how the angels would come down
to like, what would it be?
Like Law at Sodom and Gomorrah,
and they have a body,
because they like grabbed by the arm or whatever.
Or like when the two angels come with Jesus
to meet Abraham and his tent and they eat,
they're like, oh, so that's like the body
that they materialize so that mankind can see them.
Angels are spirits which is true. They're ministering spirits what the Bible says so they'd say we can't see them unless they materialize into a physical form
This is what their website says. Let me read you what this says it says
Humans cannot see spirits so the disciples evidently thought that they were seeing an apparition or a vision
Jesus assured them that he was no apparition that they could see his body of flesh and could touch him feeling the bones
He also ate in their presence
Similarly in the past angels have materialized in order to be seen by men
They had eaten and some of them even married and fathered children
What are they referring to right there? Genesis 6 is what they're talking about the Nephilim. Okay, so they're corrupted by that teaching to
and they say
Later on in this same article it says following his resurrection Jesus did not always appear in the same body of flesh
Perhaps to reinforce in their minds the fact that he was then a spirit
I'm like
If he's trying to convince them that he's, you know, a spirit in this verse,
then why is he saying the exact opposite in both our Bible and in their Bible?
What did that verse say in Luke 24-39?
It said,
Handle me and see for a spirit half not flesh and bones as you see me to have.
So, they're like clearly he's trying to show that he was, you know, a spirit.
I don't think so. I think that's the exact opposite of what you guys are saying on your website.
That's crazy. Go to Luke 24, verse 36 though. It's in that same chapter. Because if you look
at the surrounding context of this verse, it's exceedingly obvious what Jesus is doing.
It says in verse 36, it says, And as they spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and frightened,
Verse 38 it says, and he said unto them, why are you troubled?
And why do you thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet that it is I myself handle me
and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones
as you see me to have.
So because the disciples think he's a spirit, what does he do?
He proves that he is not a spirit.
How does he do that by saying, look at my flesh and my bones?
Like touch my flesh and my bones, right?
don't really even understand what they're coming from on this. They're just, I mean,
they're just going against what the Bible blatantly says. Go to 1 Corinthians 15 verse
There's another article that's on their site while you guys are going there. It says this. It says,
What about the body in which Jesus Christ appeared after his resurrection?
He manifested himself on one occasion in a body that had wounds
into which Thomas was able to place his hands to prove that Jesus was the same person
resurrected whom Thomas had known as master.
But if Jesus took his human body to heaven to keep these wounds forever,
this would be contrary to God's laws governing fleshly bodies and their ability to repair themselves.
Like, oh, what?
But secondly, here's the thing, though,
because I thought this was dumb when I was just reading this.
If a spirit can just shapeshift and materialize
into whatever they want to, then what
is the significance of him going to Thomas
and having him feel the holes in his hands, right?
Because if it can just shapeshift,
then a spirit could have shapeshifted and been like,
oh, I got holes in my hand.
And it's not really Jesus Christ, right?
So I thought that was weird when I was reading that.
But also, oh.
Jesus Christ does take His body to heaven, but here's the thing is that His body is transformed like our body.
And we see this in 1 Corinthians 15 verse 50, it says,
changed we transform right says in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound and the
Dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed
So we do take our body to heaven, but we change our body right we change into our
Glorified body. This is the same thing that Jesus Christ obviously does
And this should also just be a pointer to this in 1st John 3 2 you guys go to Acts 2 31
And I'll read for you guys 1st John 3 2 it says
Beloved, now are we the sons of God and it doth not appear what we shall be,
but we know that when he shall appear,
that's talking about Jesus,
we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.
So Jesus Christ, we haven't seen like his true glorified form yet.
We won't see that until the day that he appears on the rapture.
And we also on the day of the rapture get our glorified bodies as well the dead and Christ rise we go to the air
We change into from corruptible into incorruption a couple more things. I'm going to close this room. We're really close right here
You guys are in Acts 2 31
You guys might be thinking to yourself though
If the Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe that Jesus rose and came back into his physical body
What do they think happened to his body in the first place? Like what are they? What are they thinking about his body in the tomb?
This is what they think about it. I'll read for you. It says what happened to the perfect fleshly body of Jesus Christ after his death?
Was it preserved so that in time men could look upon it and worship it?
Or does Jesus still have the fleshly body in the heavens
Spiritualized so that it can be seen and worshiped neither the scripture the scriptures answer
It was disposed by a by Jehovah dissolved into its constituent elements or atoms
Where is the scripture on that? I missed that one. Where's the scriptures like and God said to Jesus's body dissolve into the atoms, okay?
They're just making that up again.
And here's the thing, that contradicts the scripture.
Because where you guys are at in Acts 231,
look what it says, it says,
he seen this before,
spayed the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption.
So if his flesh fades away,
they're trying to put a cutesy term on it
because they're trying to avoid this word corruption.
But just putting a spin on it doesn't change the fact
that dissolving his body away,
means that it corrupted away, right?
So that's like a weird war game
that they're trying to play right there.
And here's the thing with this as well.
This kind of breaks what Peter's trying to teach in Acts because what is Peter doing?
Why is he, why is Peter saying this about Jesus Christ? He's saying this because
he's, excuse me, he's quoting the Psalm to prove to these men that Jesus Christ was prophesied to rise again from the grave.
And he's saying, why do we know that? He says because his soul was not left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
So you have to ask yourself, why didn't Jesus's flesh see corruption?
because his soul wasn't left in hell.
It came back to his flesh, right?
That's why it didn't see corruption.
Because I just want you to realize that if you take
their belief on this, it makes no sense.
Like Jesus being left in whole hell has no bearing
on his body.
If Jehovah just dissolves it into the atoms
and into its constituents, okay?
But what we believe in the Bible is the reason
his flesh didn't see corruption is because his spirit
came back to his flesh and then he rose again from the grave.
so it did not corrupt.
Then he has his body changed into his glorified body eventually.
Last verse, go to John 2.19,
John 2.19 because Peter's train of thought is just nonsense.
If you take their position,
it's like because he won't leave his soul in hell,
neither does his flesh see corruption.
The reason his flesh isn't seen corruption is because Jesus didn't stay in hell is what Acts 2 is saying.
Because his spirit came back to his body, because when your spirit leaves your body, eventually it decays, right?
But when life comes back to it, then he's going to live forever.
John 2.19, it says this, it says, Jesus answered and sent to them,
destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
This is just a proof first to debunk what they're saying.
Then said the Jews, 40 and 6 years was this temple and building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
What does the Bible say in verse 21?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
When, therefore, he was risen from the dead,
his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them,
and they believed the scripture
and the word which Jesus had said.
Jesus didn't say that just his spirit
is gonna be raised again.
What does he say?
He says the temple of his body is gonna rise again.
And again, the Jobless Witness,
when you look on their website,
they just say,
Jesus is just using figurative language here.
That's just their duck out of everything.
Everything that they don't like is figurative, okay?
But here's the thing, this is somewhat figurative,
but they're focusing the figurative part on the wrong part.
Because the reason it's like a figure of speech here,
or would it be like a, would it be a metaphor, okay?
You can see I'm homeschooled, okay?
But there is some figure of speech
that this comes down under, I'm sure.
Is that he's comparing his body to the temple, right?
That is the figure that he's using.
It's not that his body isn't the real thing that's raising.
You guys understand what I'm saying?
It's like, they're like, this is just a figure of speech.
It's like, it is because he's comparing that if you
destroyed the temple and raised it back up,
he said, I'm going to raise my body up in three days, okay?
That's what he's, but it's his body.
There's no like, it's not, he's not like,
really I mean my spirit though,
which is what they basically say.
That's what they say that Jesus is saying.
He's like, I'm going to raise his body.
It's like, my spirit is what I'm really talking about here, okay?
So that kind of goes to the end of our sermon, though.
So point number one is this, is this, is that, instead, the title of my sermon was Watch for
the Watchtower.
The dandable heresies, the bad teachings that they have, is that number one is that they
don't believe that Jesus Christ is God, and that is dandable.
If you do not believe that Jesus Christ is God, you are not saved, period, because you
don't believe in the right God at that point.
It's like, I think that's, that's like Christianity one-on-one, okay?
But number two is this, is that Jehovah's Witnesses lie about the name of Jehovah.
We do not remove the name Jehovah out of the Bible 6,000 times.
They add the name Jehovah into the Bible 237 times, literally in the Greek New Testament.
And we correctly translate the name Jehovah
as Lord, as by the example that we see in the New Testament.
And number three is that the Jehovah's Witnesses
don't believe in the bodily resurrection,
which I didn't even touch on this,
but that's also a damnable heresy.
If you don't believe that Jesus Christ rose again
from the grave, you are perverting the gospel.
First Corinthians is very clear
that it's the death, burial, and the bodily resurrection
is what saves us.
Just him coming up in spirit form was not enough.
It had to be his body.
So, but that's the end of this sermon.
So with that all being said,
I would just kind of end on this note though.
Again, I don't want to preach you all this
till you can go fight with people door to door.
Don't do that.
It is a waste of your time,
but this is for winning over people that are maybe curious
or that are family members or something along those lines.
That all being said, let's pray.
Dear Father God, thank you so much.
It's a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for everything you do for us, God.
I just pray that you would be with us
while we go out soaring later, God.
And I just pray that you would be with brother Paul
as he preaches a sermon later.
I'll have the fellowship afterwards.
Do you say a prayer?
Amen.
Our last song too is gonna be song number 192.
Ring the bells of heaven.
Song number 192, ring the bells of heaven.
Song 192, let's sing it together on the first.
Ring the bells of heaven, there is joy today
For a soul returning from the wild
See the Father meets him out upon the way
Welcoming his weary wandering child
Tiss the ransom, darmy, like a mighty sea,
pealing forth the anthem of the free.
Ring the bells of heaven, there is joy today,
for a wonder now is reckoned some.
Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,
and has borne a new ransom child.
Ransomed army like a mighty sea,
Peeling forth the anthem of the free.
Ring the bells of heaven, spread the feast today.
Angels swell the glad triumphant strain.
Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away,
For a precious soul is.
Man, good save for Daniel, could you close the water purr?
