If you ever study false religions in America, almost all of them, big time, there's a lot
of little ones, you know, Mickey Mouse ones, but false religions in America, do you know,
it's really stunning, there's kind of two things that really kind of start them down
the wrong path. You know what those two things would be? First, most of them start with a
setting the date of Jesus' return. That just seems to be a real fast way to start a false
religion. I don't know why. Do you know the second one? A confounded view as to who Israel
is. So many false religions come from people who spiritualize Israel. You say, well, when
the Bible talks about Israel, what's the Lord talking about? Israel. That's what He's talking about.
So when the internet pastor, say from North Dakota, or why not, Costa Rica, or Arizona,
wants to be your pastor, you better go to the word of God and say, I'm supposed to have
a pastor in 1 Timothy that meets qualifications. I'm supposed to have a pastor according to
Titus that meets qualifications. I'm supposed to have a pastor that I have a personal knowledge
of, and I know his testimony, and I know that God has put him in my life, and I know the
internet is amazing. But you just can't reach your fingers through the world wide web and
know that man. That's why in all the Bible, and I double checked it, there are no internet
pastors.
