hey Russell's here forget the email I just sent you brother
1:41
[Music] ah good morning everyone
1:47
trying to get going here foreign
1:55
good to see everyone
2:02
starting to feel better but it's not there yet my hip hurts when I sit down
2:09
[Laughter] being in the lazy boys the easiest way
2:15
for me now to have my body stretched out sitting down like this starts to hurt pretty fast
2:21
let's see what we can do today
2:30
Robert I see you found YouTube
2:38
all right well we're gonna get started okay folks
2:46
good morning everyone on Facebook everyone on YouTube
2:52
I do want to thank everyone for uh the nice cards and gifts that you've been
2:58
sending thank you so much you folks are amazing
3:03
and uh when I when I got to the hospital two Sundays ago
3:09
you know they immediately put me on narcotics like hydrocodone I guess it's almost like
3:17
Vicodin I don't know by Wednesday morning I told them stop I
3:24
don't want this stuff I'd rather be in pain than experience this crazy feeling I'm getting from
3:30
these drugs it's it's hard to believe people steal to buy those drugs
3:37
to put themselves in that kind of a stupor that kind of a position it's it's
3:43
absolutely insane to me I just don't get it and so you know once I start once you're
3:50
off those narcotics believe it or not your healing process will go much much further or I should say
much much faster
3:59

2. and so I'm doing better I can get my handy cane right here so I can
4:07
walk with one cane now so Marsha is still waiting for her surgery to
4:14
date so that's you know that's not moving along as fast as we had anticipated as fast as we wanted
but
4:24
as we say this too will pass it's all gonna
4:30
it's all part of the journey you know as I was in I was in the hospital and I was thinking
4:37
there's a day coming when there shall be no more pain you wipe away all tears
4:42
from your eyes and uh the contrast is being made today the
4:50
contrast is being created in this life that we live right now a contrast
4:56
that will be so Stark in its reality when we finally arrive
5:01
at our destination for eternity what a contrast will have been created
5:09
in this as Paul said this present evil world
5:15
so thank you for joining and uh thank you for all your prayers and uh all your
5:22
nice comments everything I appreciate it all all right so
5:29
we're just gonna get going we're gonna we're gonna start today okay
5:38
let's open with a word of Prayer my gracious God and our father we're
5:44
thankful this morning for the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ
5:52
and what took place at that cross
5:57
the most incredible event
6:03
ever perpetrated upon the scene of human history was when Jesus Christ was nailed to the
6:10
cross and he bled he died
6:15
he was buried he rose again the third day according to the scriptures these truths are non-negotiable
6:22
This is Our Gospel this is the gospel that takes away the sins of the world
6:30
and brings peace to mankind so I thank you this morning for those
6:36
that have gathered with us and joining us and I pray this will be a time of
6:42
edification even a time of Education in the word of God As We Begin
6:50
this study this morning on what happened at the cross
6:57

3. I pray these things today in that name that is above every name the name of our Lord and our Savior
7:04
Jesus Christ amen so
7:09
I'm going to put all the verses up here today
7:15
I make it easy for you folks you know what I mean God so
7:22
again welcome everyone on Facebook and everyone on YouTube it's good to see you
7:28
all and uh let's get into this today okay today
7:35
we're we're going to begin looking at the cross
7:41
and I promise you that what you will hear in the next few weeks
7:47
is cleverly whether intentional or or done
7:54
by ignorance and I'm leaning towards the ignorant side of it
8:00
but it's hidden by Christendom and today we'll look at
8:06
one of the problems about the teaching of the cross that we're all familiar with
8:12
I've been guilty of this false presentation for many years
8:19
I'm even going to find clips of myself preaching this false View so that you can see that I am
absolutely
8:26
fixing something that I learned in Christendom and I
8:33
preached I preached it until I learned that the word of God teaches the salvation of all
8:41
I preached it frankly because everyone else was preaching it okay and being in the boxes that I was
8:49
in when you're in box it's not possible to see anything
8:56
other than what the box teaches until you sever yourself
9:01
from the box and from its narratives and then
9:06
your eyes are open and you can see things you never saw before in the word of God and it's truly
9:12
a liberating a liberating experience to sever yourself
9:18
from all forms of religion so what I want to do today is look at how
9:26
this false view came into existence you don't even know what the false view is yet and that's not the
point of this
9:32
message today but we're going to look at how this false
9:39
view came into existence and then like I say not today but

4. 9:44
we'll look at the proper way to present to the world what Jesus Christ did on
9:53
that cross and what happened at the cross so this will be a journey in itself
10:00
severing this part of the narrative from yourselves not going to be easy because
10:07
this is so far embedded into your psyche that some of you may not may not even be
10:15
able to get this that's how far deep this thing goes inside of us
10:21
now I'm certainly going to give it my best shot because you know we
10:27
we have many many many verses to substantiate what we'll be looking at
10:34
and absolutely no verses to substantiate the false views that we all held and the
10:41
false views that I even preached and we held on to them for dear life
10:47
and so I'm I'm being upfront with you I've been
10:54
guilty of preaching this way of of presenting the cross okay
10:59
now we'll talk more about that as we go along obviously but
11:04
I want you to notice a character
11:12
something in the Old Testament okay that is different than when you arrive in
11:17
Paul's Epistles I'm going to talk about Isaiah 59 1.
11:23
behold the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save neither his ear heavy
11:31
that it cannot hear but your iniquities
11:36
have separated between you and your God and your sins
11:42
have hid his face from you that he will not hear
11:48
now this idea of God hiding his face from Israel
11:54
is found throughout the Old Testament there are many many verses that substantiate this just do
one more
12:01
Ezekiel 39 23. and the Heathen shall know
12:06
that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity
12:11
because they trespassed against me therefore hid I my face from them
12:19
and gave them into the hand of their enemies so they fell
12:25
All By The Sword according to their uncleanness

5. 12:31
and according to their transgressions have I done unto them and hid my face
12:39
from them so you know as we look at the timeline
12:45
these verses that we're looking at
12:50
and many like it are all found in the Old Testament
12:58
the Old Testament before the cross right
13:05
and this was this was the nature of Israel's relationship with God
13:11
it was a PBA a performance-based acceptance program with total failure
13:19
on the part of Israel and then we arrive at the gospels where
13:25
Jesus Christ came unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel Jesus Christ was not
13:31
speaking to you you know I hear so many people today you
13:36
know the parable of the rich man and a lot and you know and and the fire and
13:41
and and people who are supposed to be rightly dividing the word of Truth
13:48
are not rightly dividing at all they take the words that were spoken by Jesus Christ which had to do
with this Kingdom
13:55
out here in the future and they try to make it apply to us as though he were speaking to us Jesus
14:02
Christ was sent unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel okay and in perfect keeping with their
14:10
forefathers he came unto his own and his own received them not they put him on a
14:15
cross and they killed him at that moment
14:21
when Jesus Christ hung on that cross Jesus Christ clearly said father
14:29
forgive them for they know not what they do at this point
14:35
in the history of humanity this was done
14:42
for Israel at that point in history Jesus Christ was dying
14:49
for Israel and he was doing that to bring them to repentance
14:55
so they could be a blessing to all the families of the earth okay now we read in John chapter 11.
15:01
and one of them named Caiaphas being the high priest that same year said unto them ye know
nothing at all nor consider
15:10
that it is expedient for us that one man
15:17

6. should die for the people and that the whole nation
15:22
perished not so here's Caiaphas who understands he's somehow getting a
15:29
prophetic understanding of what's going on with
15:34
Jesus Christ notice verse 51 and this spake he
15:39
not of himself but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for
15:49
that Nation that's why Jesus Christ was dying he was
15:56
dying for that Nation go not into the way of the Gentiles and
16:03
into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not but go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel
16:09
okay so at this juncture in the unfolding of God's program
16:18
there's a purpose in the cross and it has to do with Israel
16:25
and it excludes the Gentiles for now okay
16:31
now we know that at the cross they were given that one year extension of Mercy
16:38
and then at the stoning of Stephen something happened not long after us they stoned Stephen
16:45
God arrested Saul of Tarsus and it was during the first 30 years
16:54
of Paul's pre-prison epistle Ministry
17:00
okay it was during the transition period that second Corinthians was written
17:07
somewhere is around Acts chapter 18. and it was revealed to Paul
17:14
what had happened at the cross and that it no longer only had to do
17:21
with Israel now the whole world is included because they rejected their Messiah and God
17:29
turned and something else was introduced into
17:35
this world now I'm going to show you a verse this is a verse that you're all familiar with
17:41
the Apostle Paul clearly tells us what was happening and this is not the
17:47
point of my messages that are coming up in the next couple weeks okay this is just an obvious thing
about
17:55
what was going on at the cross Paul tells us second Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 19 to wit
18:04
that God was in Christ
18:10
God was in Christ so where was God
18:15

7. he was in Christ which means he also was with Christ
18:21
on the cross even throughout his entire life through his 33 years of of life God was
18:29
with him and what was God doing notice reconciling
18:36
the world the world not just reconciling Israel
18:42
he was reconciling the world the whole
18:47
world see God was saying
18:53
I'm not angry with anyone God was holding out the rose of Sharon
18:58
to let the whole world know he was fixing the problem
19:05
that's what God did at the cross he fixed the problem the cross was so
19:12
powerful it was so powerful notice that God was
19:18
not not imputing their trespasses unto them in other words God is Not punishing
19:27
the world for their sins today you know there are preachers that you know you've
19:32
heard you you're going to have to pay for your own sin
19:38
you're gonna have to pay for your own sin what the heck do you think this was
19:44
about you know I know this first this
19:49
particular verse makes a lot of people unhappy because they have a God that they can't wait for
19:57
him to punish the unrepentant they just can't wait
20:03
and they're ringing their hands for the day when when their enemies are held
20:08
accountable for their sins but there's one problem with that
20:15
God is not imputing their trespasses unto them you know there are some people who in
20:22
this light think of someone who they hate right and they despise the thought of those
20:28
people being in heaven and they foam at the mouth at the very
20:35
thought of it and that's because they just will not
20:40
believe the word of God they just won't believe it The Narrative is more powerful than the
20:48
word of God and that's a fact but they just will not believe this they
20:55
just will not believe it they spend their time
21:01
trying to disprove this now as Paul is writing this verse he

8. 21:08
knows who his audience is and you should know who his audience is also he told us
21:13
that he's writing to the Church of God right the Church of God is the church
21:19
that he persecuted before he was arrested on the road to Damascus those are those who were in
Christ before Paul
21:28
okay so he tells them he tells them
21:33
the last part of this verse Anne hath committed unto us
21:39
the word of reconciliation what does that mean it means that they were supposed to go
21:45
to the world and just flat out talbaum hey you no longer have to fear God Jesus
21:55
Christ took away the sins of the world and he's not imputing your trespasses
22:01
unto you because he has reconciled the whole world
22:07
and that is the fact this is a this verse is a fact
22:12
and I know it's hated by a lot of people people wish this verse was not in the Bible they wrote okay
22:20
reconciliation is already done and every person born into this world
22:27
receives this benefit by default
22:33
okay it's not waiting to be done it's not done when you believe it It's
22:41
Already Done God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself it's
22:46
done it's done there are many many many people who don't believe this verse and spend or I
22:53
should say waste much of their time trying to convince people that this
22:59
verse does not mean what it says well I'm sorry
23:04
this verse means exactly what it says believe it believe it brethren
23:10
okay people walk around in fear today because they don't know that
23:18
this verse is in the Bible or they know it's there but they just
23:24
can't believe it because it contradicts The Narrative they've been brainwashed with
23:30
and so the whole world knows only about God
23:35
what they hear from Christendom or other religions and they hate this augustinian God that
23:43
created them the way they are and will send them to hell for just having been
23:48
born you know I cannot tell you how many people in this world hate God for that

9. 23:55
reason and I will tell you that the only reason people have those thoughts about God is
24:02
because this verse is ignored it's lied about
24:09
or is just not plain believed okay so as we move on to the next step today
24:17
remember that before Jesus Christ came into the world
24:24
men's sins did separate them from God and God did hide his face
24:33
and then Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem them who were under the law
24:42
the lost sheep of the House of Israel he died for them on the cross
24:48
gave them that one year extension of Mercy until the stoning of Stephen
24:55
and then God arrested Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus
25:00
and began revealing to Paul what had happened at the cross
25:06
and what happened well God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself
25:13
God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself
25:18
okay so now the world is reconciled
25:24
but they don't know it even Christendom doesn't know it or they
25:31
deny it one of those two but the fact
25:37
is that the world and most of Christendom
25:42
do not understand second Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 19.
25:47
this is a done deal okay this is done okay it's not predicated upon anything
25:54
you do say believe utter pray
25:59
kneel down and beg for no it's done it's done it's done
26:06
on your behalf okay so I want you to see
26:12
how Paul speaks of how complete this is
26:19
in Colossians chapter one now notice and having made peace
26:29
through the blood of his cross now this piece is the result of
26:35
reconciliation God holding out the rose of Sharon to the world see it wasn't God
26:42
who was not at peace with man it was man who was not at peace with God see God
26:50

10. never had a problem God's never had a problem
26:56
but there's no peace before the cross but then
27:03
at the cross God made peace
27:10
through the blood of the Cross God made peace that's what reconciliation is
27:16
it brings forth peace between two parties notice he goes on by him to reconcile
27:23
all things unto himself by him I say whether they be things in Earth or
27:30
things in heaven now listen to the next verse very carefully because at this
27:36
juncture in the word of God everyone is reconciled and God is at
27:43
peace with the world that's second Corinthians 5 we're just looking at okay
27:48
notice verse 21 and you that were sometimes alienated and
27:55
enemies or alienated like Isaiah said Isaiah said your sins have separated between you and your
God that's
28:02
alienation okay and you that were sometimes alienated and
28:08
enemies in your mind by Wicked works now listen before you understood that Jesus Christ
28:16
had taken away the sins of the world you thought that your wicked works
28:23
were keeping God angry at you because that's the teaching that religion has taught us from the time
where infants
28:30
right pretty much any religion you grew up in God is angry at you God is angry
28:36
at you okay people walk around guilty for their sins not realizing that God is
28:41
not imputing their trespasses unto them but notice verse 21 again
28:49
where were you alienated and enemies in your mind in your mind you were
28:59
alienated and enemies in your mind but it was only in your mind it was a
29:10
figment of your imagination you see after the cross
29:15
and after God revealed to Paul what happened there there are no more people
29:20
who are alienated and enemies by Wicked works all this guilt that people walk
29:27
walk in and and the fear of God that they have
29:33
is in your mind it's in their mind
29:40
see the the the fabrication of Christendom is that you are alienated from God

11. 29:49
because of your sin but that was before the cross
29:54
today the thought of alienation by Wicked works is a total figment of man's
30:02
imagination and is only in the mind of people because of the false teaching of
30:08
Christendom notice the last part of verse 21.
30:15
by Wicked Works yet now as he reconciled
30:21
that the whole world is reconciled not part of the world not some of the world not those who believe
no the whole world
30:28
is reconciled God was in Christ reconciling the world the whole world
30:38
unto himself so the question that I want to answer today
30:44
is how did we get to the place where no one understands that God was in
30:52
Christ reconciling the world unto himself and that the problem exists only
30:57
in the minds of many many people this is a serious problem
31:04
I mean you know how he wore before you acknowledge the truth of of the
31:12
death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ you know you'd say oh God oh God I don't
31:19
want to go to hell I don't want to die and go to hell and you said that as
31:24
though you really thought there was a place of Eternal conscious torment where you and your loved
ones would spend
31:30
eternity burning and paying for their own sins it was that state of mind
31:38
that Paul is referring to in in these verses right here that's what he's referring to
31:46
but it's not difficult to figure out why the whole world is scared of God with
31:52
teachings like this from Christendom let me in why
31:58
so I can save you from what from what I'm gonna do to you if you don't let me
32:04
in this is the man who said father forgive
32:09
them for they know not what they do this is the man who died
32:16
to take away their sin now threatening them
32:23
this is the teaching of Christendom and it is a false teaching
32:29
so false that the messages that are coming up
32:35

12. with are designed to show what the real the real meaning of the Cross is
32:42
but think about this how is it that The God Who is love
32:50
ever came to be caricatured as the god of the Eternal torture chamber
32:57
how did that ever happen it is part of a large distortion
33:05
and part of a large deception well I was in rehab
33:11
I was there for two weeks I read a verse that I had I've read a
33:18
hundred times I preached on it just as many times and I'm referring to Genesis
33:23
chapter 3. we're going to look at this and see
33:28
something that I don't think I ever talked about when when preaching these verses
33:34
but notice now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had
made
33:40
and he said unto the woman yea hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the
33:46
garden and the woman said unto the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the Trees of the garden
33:52
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said You shall not eat of it
neither shall ye
33:59
touch it now she added we know that lest you die and the serpent said unto the woman
34:08
ye shall not surely die why not for God doth know that in the
34:15
day you eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as Gods knowing Good and Evil
34:26
now we know that in this narrative here in this past these passages of scripture that the devil is
tempting Eve
34:35
but I submit to you that there is more here than meets the eye you know we've
34:41
always said that you know the devil said yea hath God said and that's the first question
34:47
in the Bible and the first question in the Bible brings into question the word
34:54
of God and of course that's true that that's obvious that's there
35:00
but in asking that question and then adding to that verse 5 for God
35:07
doth no that in the day you eat thereof then your eyes shall be open and ye
35:15
shall be as Gods knowing Good and Evil
35:20
so the question yea hath God said
35:25

13. and this comment in verse 5 for God doth no
35:31
are all designed to give Eve a false view of who God is
35:38
it's a distortion of the God who is omniscient all-knowing
35:44
omnipresent everywhere omnipotent all-powerful
35:51
who inhabits eternity who is Holy who never changes that's the
35:58
immutability of God and of whom John says God is love
36:06
okay to a god
36:12
who does not have her best interest at heart and a God who is afraid that a human
36:19
being would also become a god so he portrays God as a weak God that
36:27
vacillates and he puts a picture in her mind of God that is a total and absolute distorted
36:37
lie and she passes on that false view of God
36:42
to Adam from the very beginning the devil's purpose was to distort the
36:49
image of God in the heart and in the mind of man now you have to ask yourself this
36:56
question at this at this juncture right here you have to ask yourself this question did God know Satan
was going to
37:02
do this well is God omniscient
37:08
does God know all things God knew that the devil was going to do
37:15
this and he allowed it to happen as a matter of fact
37:20
this verse tells us that God actually planned it
37:27
what does it say and all things are of God
37:33
all things are of God
37:41
the first part of that verse means exactly what it says
37:48
all things are of God I remember showing this verse to a preacher when I first began
37:53
understanding the salvation of all and they were all trying to talk me out of it and you know you
should have come to
37:58
us and you should have we should have discussed this like I already knew what the discussion was
going to be okay I
38:05
didn't have to go discuss it knowing what what was going to happen at that at that point but anyway
38:10

14. I showed him this verse and he said to me that verse does not mean all
38:20
I said what does it mean he said
38:26
only all things in Paul's Ministry
38:34
but that's not what it says it says all things are of God including
38:39
the devil that God created remember God created the Destroyer to destroy
38:46
and God tells the devil what to do now you remember in job right
38:51
God told job every well God told the devil everything he has is in your power
39:00
but don't lay a hand on him in other words God put a least on Satan
39:06
he gave him a short chain and Satan does only
39:12
what God allows him to do and God allowed Satan to distort
39:20
his own image now you would think why would God allow that
39:25
why would God allow him to do that well there's a reason I'm going to tell you in a moment
39:34
but let me show you that distorting and perverting
39:39
God and his word is part of the whole plan
39:46
it's part of our journey it's part of the contrast that's being
39:52
created okay these things don't catch God by surprise okay
39:58
so let me show you this you remember Genesis chapter one and God said let there be lights in the
40:06
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs
40:14
and for seasons and for days and years notice those words
40:20
and let them be for signs you know there was a time
40:27
when God communicated with man through the Stars there was a time when the 12 signs of
40:35
the zodiac spelled out the entire Plan of Redemption from the beginning to the
40:40
very end now I have three messages on YouTube called the signs of the Stars
40:46
where I started I was going to go through all 12 of them and then I you
40:52
know I had to move on to some other things but you know job the oldest book in the
40:58
Bible talks about Pleiades and Nazareth which are the 12 chapters
41:05
in the zodiac you know the zodiac begins with Virgo the virgin

15. 41:13
giving birth to a son all the way around to Leo
41:19
the lion of the tribe of Judah returning okay and so
41:27
God in the beginning communicated with man through the Stars
41:35
that's what the signs are for that's what the signs are for
41:40
but then that message over time became corrupted
41:45
corrupt to the point where today you have your monthly prognosticators who've perverted
41:52
the message of the stars and of course today that message is no longer needed
41:57
because we have the revelation of the word of God given to us
42:03
but but the fact is that for the first few centuries of humanity the signs and
42:08
the stars were very important God communicated with man through that I
42:15
mean the Book of Job is filled with this kind of stuff right
42:20
but now they no longer speak the original
42:25
language okay that that's been distorted
42:32
but the Distortion didn't end with that once the word of God was written
42:39
the devil was at it again distorting the truth making things difficult
42:46
over 400 versions of the Bible exist some 40 000 denominations in Christendom
42:55
testify to the fact that Satan has totally confused mankind
43:01
men have all sorts of views of God men have all sorts of ways that lead to
43:07
God I mean the way to God has been explained in a thousand different ways by a
43:14
thousand different teachers thousands of men have different explanations of of the Cross and what
43:21
we're supposed to do with it I mean the confusion has just enveloped
43:27
Christendom and it can only be likened to a stroke
43:33
of Genius on the devil's part he has succeeded in deceiving the masses
43:39
and it's one of the main reasons that the world looks at Christendom and
43:45
laughs and rejects our message because they say you can't even agree on what
43:50
the Bible teaches and they're absolutely right they're absolutely right
43:56

16. and and think about this every religion
44:02
and every denomination that exists think they have the right message
44:08
[Laughter] to the point of calling each other Heretics
44:15
because we don't see the same things the same way you know I mean think about this okay
44:24
now here's a list of man-made denominations
44:29
I mean you got Southern Baptist American Baptist fundamental Baptist Independent Baptist
Missionary Baptist Bible Baptist
44:36
you got Free Will Baptist he got the First Baptist but you got all kinds okay all of these all of these
denominations
44:42
have spin-offs all of them you know methodists African methodists
44:48
American Methodist Evangelical United Methodist United Brethren Anglican Catholic Apostolic
Roman Catholic
44:55
Eastern Orthodox Greek Orthodox Church of England Christian Episcopal Lutheran Wesleyan
Amish Presbyterian
45:03
Mennonites Church of God Calvary Chapel of Moravian Vineyard Nazarene Foursquare
45:10
Mormons rlds that's Latter-day Saints star of Truth
45:17
Branch Davidian Unitarian hutyrite friends Pentecostal Assembly of
45:24
God those also have spin-offs in the thousands
45:30
House of Prayer Jesus movement Church of Christ Evangelical Free Disciples of
45:35
Christ Christian Church Churches of Christ Seventh-day Adventist Congregation of yah Global
Church of God
45:42
Harmony of Life Christian Science Jehovah's Witness United Christian Church Church of God in
Christ worldwide
45:48
Church of God each of these different man-made denominations
45:55
believes that everyone else on this list is wrong some of these Baptists will call anyone
46:02
who doesn't agree with every point of their Doctrine a heretic and they all point the finger at each
other
46:09
and they accuse each other of heresy so let me ask you this
46:15
since God is not the author of confusion
46:21
then we know who the author of all of these is right
46:27

17. but why does God allow all this to happen in the world that he created
46:32
it's only one of two answers either God is too weak to stop it
46:42
or he's allowing it now why
46:48
would he allow it why would God allow and this is not all
46:54
I mean this less this is nothing there's more more and more and more more
47:00
a lot more and the spin-offs that come from each of these
47:06
it's real I mean it's real I mean this is confusion
47:13
to the nth degree this is confusion to perfection
47:21
and God allowed it I mean it's certainly not because God is
47:26
too weak to stop it that's not that's not the point here okay
47:33
but why why would he allow this
47:39
I'll show you a verse of scripture First Corinthians 11 19.
47:46
for there must be also heresies among you
47:52
that they which are approved may be manifest among you but I want you to notice the first part of
this verse
48:00
for there must be also heresies among
48:06
you it's not a choice folks people don't choose to be involved in
48:13
heresies you know as we said a few moments ago each of these consider the other a
48:19
heresy of some sort now this word
48:24
heresies it's translated five times as the word sect I'm just going to show you one of
48:30
them in Acts 5 17 then the high priest rose up
48:36
and all they that were with him which is the sect that's the word
48:41
heresies that word sect that the same Greek word is that word the sick of the Sadducees and were
48:48
filled with indignation so why are the Sadducees filled with ignition well I'm going to look at another
verse Acts 4 1
48:55
and 2 and as they spake unto the people the priest and the captain of the temple and the
49:02
Sadducees which is the sect of the sad you see the heresy of the Sadducees Came
49:08
Upon them what what's their heresy being grieved that they taught the people and

18. 49:15
preached through Jesus the resurrection of the Dead the Sadducees did not
49:21
believe in Resurrection is that a heresy you better believe it
49:27
you don't believe in the resurrection of the Dead that is a heresy so sex
49:33
these sex have heresies in them
49:39
and the question that I'm thinking of when I see this list
49:47
is why why did not God make it easy for people to
49:55
find the truth why are there so many religions and
50:01
denominations to the point where the world looks at Christendom and wants
50:07
nothing to do with it and who can blame them who can blame them
50:12
but the question remains why is the truth
50:19
so difficult to find I mean has all of this caught guard off
50:26
guard I mean is God ringing his hands God what what happened [Laughter]
50:32
what happened plan this
50:41
folks this is part of the journey
50:46
this is part of the contrast that's being created
50:53
the confusion is real the confusion is real
51:01
but there must be heresies among you there must be
51:06
there has to be it's not a choice it's
51:12
utterly imperative
51:17
that there be heresies
51:24
so God is not you know wringing his hands going I don't know what happened he got out of him
51:31
I lost control
51:36
remember this verse and all things are of God
51:42
all things all things
51:50
are of God now this verse by itself won't convince
51:56
some people that all things are of God so look at this Romans 11 36. for of him
52:05

19. and through him and to him
52:11
are all things all things to whom be glory
52:19
forever and ever I mean what what does this verse mean
52:25
what are the all things for of him think about that
52:32
that's the origin of all things even these things
52:39
even these things God has allowed
52:46
okay of him that's the origin
52:52
and through him nothing that is in heaven or Earth is
52:58
there unless it's of him and through him
53:03
and then it answers back to him because it's of him and through him and to him
53:14
what does that mean it means that everything that is of him
53:19
which is all of creation and everything that is through him which
53:26
is all of creation exists because of him and he's responsible for its
53:33
existence and God takes full responsibility for it you know men are
53:41
constantly trying to remove the responsibility of the way things are
53:47
away from God oh God is not responsible for all this
53:52
are you kidding me God is responsible for everything in his
53:58
creation for of him and through him and to him are all things including this mess
54:08
so the question Still Remains why must there be heresies
54:17
or this question why is the truth
54:23
so hard to find in this Fallen world I mean look at my
54:29
journey Right started out Pentecostal Church was there for
54:34
way too long then after that whole journey went into the
54:42
Plymouth Brethren and then after that went to the Nazarene
54:47
and then after the Nazarene went to the independent fundamental Baptists
54:53
and then after that went into the acts 9 dispensational group
54:59
every single one of those boxes had limitations

20. 55:05
that were controlled
55:11
by the box which was locked and inside that box you believed
55:19
what the box taught you and that's it and you can't see anything outside that
55:24
box it's not possible see
55:30
so the question remains why is the truth so hard to find in this Fallen World
55:40
why is it that at any given time in history the majority of the population of Earth
55:48
never find the truth have you ever thought about that
55:55
have you ever thought about that have you ever thought about it in
56:01
connection with this verse Proverbs 25 and verse 2 it is the glory of God
56:09
to conceal a thing
56:16
but the but the honor of Kings is to search out A matter think about that
56:22
it's the glory of God steal a thing
56:29
look at all these denominations and you will absolutely know that it is the
56:35
glory of God to conceal the truth thank you
56:40
[Laughter] but why has God allowed this why has God
56:45
allowed this all I can say it's part of the plan
56:53
it's part of the contrast folks
56:59
not only are very important things concealed
57:06
but on the other hand you have the adversary creating confusion over things that are
57:12
revealed including the cross of the Lord Jesus
57:18
Christ and I submit to you today that the truth of what happened at the
57:24
cross has been totally perverted and then I'm not talking about the death
57:31
burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ that's non-negotiable the death burial and resurrection of
57:38
Jesus Christ that's mandatory That's essential that's indispensable
57:44
without the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ no sin can be taken away
57:52
but with and through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ all sin
57:59

21. was taken away you remember this verse John 1 29 the next day John see of Jesus
58:05
coming unto him and saith Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away
58:12
the sin of some people not what it says right
58:18
which taketh away the sin of the world
58:24
the sin of the world and then the woman at the well she went to the Village talked to the man
58:30
and said unto the woman now we believe not because of thy saying for we have heard him
ourselves and know that this
58:38
is indeed the Christ the savior of some people
58:43
the Savior who was available to those who believe the savior of
58:51
no is the savior of the world can you believe that 99 of preachers
58:59
and their people don't believe these verses that's true
59:05
every box that I was ever in did not believe these verses
59:13
and that includes the preachers you've listened to all your life too so why did I share this with you
today
59:22
to make the point that things that are important have been perverted
59:28
and cannot be found by the vast majority of the population of this planet
59:36
and also to say that in the same way that many doctrines
59:42
in the word of God have been distorted the message of the Cross has also been
59:51
distorted and even hidden from mankind due to the preaching of Christendom and
59:58
again I'm not referring to the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ that's non-negotiable
1:00:03
that is essential mandatory okay I'm referring to the way the cross is
1:00:10
presented to the world as a believe or die in your sins message
1:00:17
and rather than good news the cross is used by man as a
1:00:23
fear-mongering tool and the cross is the gospel and the gospel is good
1:00:30
news to all men so now I'm going to give you a hint
1:00:38
as to what I'll be talking about next in next week's message and the week after
1:00:44
that listen very carefully
1:00:50
we've all heard and I preached it for many years in my ignorance

22. 1:00:57
you've heard the words the vicarious
1:01:03
substitutionary death of Jesus Christ you've heard that before into my own shame you heard it from
my
1:01:11
pulpit you've also heard and you've said it yourself
1:01:17
Jesus Christ took my place on the cross and bore God's punishment for my sins
1:01:23
and he paid the penalty for my sins you've heard this because I also
1:01:30
preached it for for many years because I didn't know better
1:01:35
now did you know and listen very carefully to what I'm going to say this second right now
1:01:42
did you know that the word vicarious is not in your Bible
1:01:50
did you know that the word substitutionary
1:01:55
is not in your Bible the very concept of substitution
1:02:02
is foreign foreign to the word of God
1:02:07
it is a man-made Doctrine and I can even say that it is a satanically inspired
1:02:14
Doctrine in light of the Salvation of all the
1:02:20
idea of Jesus Christ dying instead of me is nowhere to be found in the word of
1:02:28
God and next week we're going to look at verse after verse after verse after
1:02:33
verse of what happened in the sacrifice of calvary
1:02:39
what the Bible says about this subject is so far removed from what has been
1:02:45
accepted and preached by us that it's shocking to me that
1:02:50
we didn't see it it's just shocking to me and it just goes to show
1:02:57
the power of the narrative when it's accepted by the masses as
1:03:04
truth but should we be surprised
1:03:11
that the most important event that ever transpired
1:03:17
that ever took place in the history of the world
1:03:23
for the benefit of mankind should be distorted and lied about
1:03:28
should we be surprised about that I submit to you that of all the attacks
1:03:36
that have ever been perpetrated by the adversary

23. 1:03:42
and and then propagated by Christendom the
1:03:48
greatest attack Came Upon the greatest event and turned it into a fear-mongering tool
1:03:56
rather than as the good news
1:04:02
see the greatest attack on Humanity was when the truth of what happened at
1:04:09
the cross was distorted and again certainly by the adversary
1:04:16
but then propagated and preached by Christendom ad nauseam and to add
1:04:22
infinitum and I'm going to remind you one more time that the word
1:04:28
vicarious it's not found in your Bible and the word substitute or
1:04:34
substitutionary is not found in your Bible
1:04:40
and I'll also submit this to you the concept of what happened at the
1:04:45
cross can only be understood by those who understand that there's no
1:04:52
place of Eternal conscious torment and that God's plan all along
1:04:58
was the salvation of all why that God
1:05:03
may be all in all amen
1:05:08
so what I wanted to do today was just share with you the problem and how the
1:05:14
problem came into existence from the beginning
1:05:20
the devil began distorting creating a false image
1:05:26
perverting the word of God and ultimately perverting the cross
1:05:35
where the sins of the world were taken away and he took away sin by the sacrifice of
1:05:42
himself he took it away so next week will be another eye-opener
1:05:49
in this journey of falsehoods that we've relied upon so heavily in our
1:05:56
lives as believers so this journey
1:06:01
is not one that will be easy
1:06:07
I'm thinking except for those of you who believe your Bibles
1:06:12
I know I'm talking to a lot of people not necessarily not you folks but people who will hear and listen
1:06:20
they'll believe their Bibles The Narrative is the most important thing protect the box at all costs
1:06:28

24. okay is The Narrative of Christendom protect this box we've got this Doctrine
1:06:34
this is ours and this this is what we believed you don't like that we'll either kick you
1:06:40
out of the box or you're going to leave like I did I left the box I left all the boxes
1:06:48
I'm so thankful I did what peace what peace
1:06:53
comes from just believing the words on the page no more narratives
1:07:00
so next week folks we'll uh we'll get back together I'm gonna be here again next week
1:07:07
because I can't there's a long walk in our building that I gotta take and I can't take that walk right now
1:07:12
I mean I'm hobbling around here and so
1:07:21
I'm looking forward and I know some of you really really love
1:07:26
to hear the truth of scripture as it's found on the pages of scripture
1:07:33
in the narrative usually contradicts the scripture and people usually protect the narrative
1:07:40
and always try to well that verse doesn't mean that that verse doesn't mean that and they do that all
the time
1:07:46
I've never heard more of that since I started preaching over two years
1:07:51
ago that Paul wrote to the Church of God which is what he says he did I you know you know you
know let's bash brother
1:07:59
Rodney and call him the devil and call him a false prophet and call him
1:08:04
everything because he believed that Paul said to the Church of God that's the
1:08:10
church he persecuted and they just won't believe that so but that's on them see that's on them
1:08:20
the church
1:08:26
that we belong to there's a there's truth in this in this
1:08:34
what we've been looking at there's truth that is not accepted
1:08:40
by Christendom because a narrative has been they've been enveloped in this thing
1:08:45
and so I'm looking forward to next week I'm not going to keep going and going on
1:08:51
and on but uh ah I'm looking forward to next week I
1:08:57
really am I can't wait to show you these verses
1:09:03
anyway I love you all let's pray Lord I just pray that the words of this message
1:09:09
will find lodging in the hearts of my brethren

25. 1:09:16
and that these words will be forged upon the tablets of their heart
1:09:22
and that they'll only be interested
1:09:27
in what saith the scripture
1:09:33
not in what saith the narrative the Diabolical narrative
1:09:40
I pray for these folks Lord pray for your your understanding and your peace just
1:09:47
rest upon them I pray these things in that name
1:09:54
that is above every name the name of our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ
1:10:00
amen
1:10:05
all right amen I'm going to let you go folks and uh
1:10:11
hopefully we'll see you next week and uh my hip's starting to hurt
1:10:18
when I'm in pain sometimes I just laugh but there's a day coming when there will
1:10:24
be no more pain amen all right folks I love you all
1:10:30
take care
