Hello, this is Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona.
Today I want to talk about 1 John 2-23.
It says,
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son
hath the Father also.
And the reason I point out this verse is that many people will teach today that the Jews
worship the same God that we as Christians worship.
You know, they have the same God, they believe the Old Testament.
You'll hear that all the time from people.
And they'll even use the word Judeo-Christian.
Basically lumping Jews and Christians together as worshiping the true God of the Bible.
But according to this verse, the Jews do not worship the same God that we worship because
the Bible says,
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.
So how can you say they have the same God when the Bible says they do not have the Father?
Because if they don't have the Son, they don't have the Father.
So let me ask you this, who do they have?
Who are they worshiping today in Judaism?
We know it's not God the Father because they don't acknowledge the Son, therefore they
don't have the Father.
You know who they're worshiping?
A false God.
A false God is who they're worshiping.
And we need to stop saying that the Jews have the same God that we as Christians have because
if they don't have the Son, they don't have the Father.
That's why the Bible also calls them the synagogue of Satan because they're not of the Lord,
they're of their father the devil.
That's what the Bible says.
