 I get so many people that say things like you don't know the Lord, you don't have the Spirit, you deny the power of the Lord, you rely so much on head knowledge, so much on Bible knowledge, you're not safe, you haven't had an encounter with the Holy Spirit, things like that. I don't know if you all have had that happen to you, I get it a lot, matter of fact so much so I'm actually going to share with you some comments that I've gotten because if you happen to say something about someone, maybe this person agrees with this person because if I agree with person A and you've called out person A, well then you're calling me out and so because of that it's not because I'm wrong, it's not because I don't know my words, it's not because I'm not safe, it's because you're not safe, it's because you don't have the Holy Spirit. Yeah I think maybe some of the stuff I see what you're talking about but you got them twisted because the reason why you're reading it from your head, you got to read it from your spirit, you don't have spiritual eyes, I've been told that before, as a matter of fact what I want to do, I'm going to pull up some of these comments and I want to do this, now I'm going to have my picture over so you don't necessarily, I'm trying not to embarrass the person, now you might see their name or what I'm not sure but I'll do my best to try to keep it where you can't see them but the point is the reason why you have this as a problem, the reason why this is important is because this is the issue with the body, the body does not seem like have a strong regard for the word of God, as a matter of fact what I want to do is let me first, let me play something to kind of illustrate this, this is from my new favorite, my new favorite false teacher, Prophetess, that would be the Miss Prophetess, I don't know if she's a doctor yet, the Miss Prophetess, Tiffany Montgomery, now I don't know if you caught that, she says what we're gonna do for me, we're gonna pray in tongues, pray in the Holy Ghost, we've covered that before, I won't touch that but she says I know, I know, I know, don't send me any emails or what have you about how we're not supposed to do it in public, you know, the Bible says the Bible, since we're gonna go by the Bible, the Bible says that regardless of what you think about tongues, if you have my view, if you have a different view, regardless what you think it does say clearly that if you're gonna do it in this gathering that there must be no more than one at a time, two or three at the most but she's saying no we're gonna do it all together and you've seen this in some of these churches where they just do this and it's like well have you read the scriptures, the scriptures say even if you disagree with my take on it with it however you whatever you think tongues are you can't do it the way you're doing it and so she's decides we're gonna do it in round when it comes to scriptures. When you go to the gym and you go and work out with a whole bunch of people does the workout edify the people that you're with no it just helps you out right but there's a reason maybe you're motivated to go to the gym instead of working out at home because half of us find out that if we work out by ourselves we're gonna do five push-ups instead of 20 we find out that we're gonna do two and a half sit-ups instead of 10 we're going to run around for 12 minutes instead of 30 but when you're working out with other people statistics show that you're actually more motivated to get the workout done than you are if you did it by yourself so so so if we all speak in tongues at the same time it's gonna motivate us to do it even more so even when we're by ourselves so forget what the word says let's just I've got a new a better way this is why this person is a heritage this is why this person needs to be disregarded this is why this person needs to really just sit down somewhere and just in the in the words of John MacArthur just go home just go home you have no business with a mic in your hand before the people one because you've been ordered but two even the heretical things that you're saying now I want to look at some of these comments I want to look at some of these comments because I think they're just they're interesting and what I'd like to do is whenever someone in this truth guys whenever someone gives me even a negative comment I think and say to myself huh maybe let me think about this for a second so let's look at some of the comments some comments say since you don't believe the gifts are for today it's weird you're even talking about this that well first of all I've never said I don't believe the gifts for the day I have never once said that the spiritual gifts are not for today I just said I'm a biblical continuation is meaning when I see one and it looks like the Bible like it's done in the Bible with an amen praise God but if I don't see that then guess what I'm not gonna do I'm not gonna just go off of that because you said it's the spirit but I want to look at some more of these let's see let me just find some more of these now some of these are good some of these you know these are smart folks some of these folks are just not and let me find a few I should have went and highlighted some of these you all forgive me let's see this person says my biggest problem you've got is that I see the title of your video pigeonhole yourself as a as a Calvinist again not a Calvinist can we can we say it just one last time I can I just get the people to understand I am not a Calvinist but anyway let's see and I already know what the answer your question is before watching it but what does the Bible say about a person answering something before they hear it now he goes on and say I guess it's a he Jason something he goes on to say a little bit more but let's see what does he say none of this is about pleasing the Lord if one traces the Greek and Hebrew words for profit the answer is rather plain and uncontroversy which I literally cover that in the in this in that video but I'm quite certain wouldn't land at the same Calvinist position you likely hold you like we hold what you find out anyways let's leave him alone there are some more matter of fact I'm not gonna run through these because you know why they can be annoying sometimes they really are but here's a problem the problem is everyone who disagrees now I shouldn't say I shouldn't say that that'd be wrong but there's a lot of people who disagree who would say that it's just you're relying too much on head now you rely too much on the Greek you rely too much on the Hebrew you rely too much on the English you rely too much on head now it's well all I've got is the Bible now I think the way I feel is the Holy Spirit you think the way you feel is the Holy Spirit two Christians can have the Holy Spirit and disagree well what do we do then when two Christians who both have the Holy Spirit disagree do we have a fight an arm wrestling match to see who whose Holy Spirit the strongest and we know it happens because Paul addresses it have believers can disagree he's he writes a letter in 1st Corinthians and his whole point is that there be unity no divisions he and Barnabas also had a disagreement two people with the Holy Spirit same thing a disagreement it can happen as a matter of fact it happens a lot and so absent anyone else coming in and settling the score what do we have to rely on you have the Holy Spirit at the Holy Spirit your Holy Spirit is no more greater than my Holy Spirit so what we have the one thing that we have in common which is going to be the word of God so let's look at the word of God rather than following after our heart after our feelings instead of leaning onto our own understanding now the Bible is clear that if a person how do I put it if you have all the knowledge in the world and and there is no love or by proxy or by extension no Holy Spirit then what are you as matter of fact let's go to 1st Corinthians 13 if I have to get the prophecy verse 2 and know all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as removed mountains but do not have love I am nothing so clearly knowledge by itself isn't enough obviously but the thing is though they they present this false dichotomy where you have either one or the other you have one of it so if you have some knowledge then that's a bad thing now it's only a bad thing knowledge is only a bad thing if your knowledge disagrees with my understanding because I can promise you the very same people the very same people that would accuse me or you of not having the Holy Spirit and relying on head knowledge if we go to the actual Bible itself which we should if we delve into the Hebrew Greek they wouldn't have a problem with the Hebrew the Greek or the scriptures themselves if what we if our conclusion was the same as theirs I've seen them go to the Greek go to the Hebrew now there's times they do so and they're wrong but still there should never be a problem with go if a person ever says has a problem with you go into the Bible that person it makes you wonder if that person is saved or at least not as safe as they claim to be I would put it this way if you have a problem with the person being in the word that much you're one of two things either not a Christian or not a very good one that's the only solution you're either not a Christian or not a very good one now because you're not a very good one you can change you can grow you can mature but you cannot rely on this ignorant statement of saying that you don't have the Holy Spirit you don't you're not you're not singing it because what that necessarily means that I'm right they will accuse you and I of being proud or arrogant you don't knowledge puffs up but what are they saying they're saying you don't have the spirit like I do because you don't see it like I do so you must not be safe that's really the height of arrogance all we're doing is going off of the scriptures a matter of fact the Bible tell here's what here's what makes it so bad if you're going to say that a person needs to rely on the Holy Spirit and not so much the Bible can I tell you and I'm not trying to be mean anyone that would make that statement however this is how utterly foolish this is it's nonsensical saying a person relying is relying on the Bible more than the Holy Spirit well where does the Holy Spirit come from huh if only the Bible will tell us where the where these words come from if only there was a passage telling us what's the source of these scriptures oh it does all scripture according to Paul all scripture is inspired now this word all I mean inspired is they are God new style which is breathe so breathe out by God all scripture is inspired or God breathe by God and profitable for teaching for teaching for a proof for correction for training in righteousness why so that the man of God man and women because it's Anthropos may be adequate equipped for every good work so the very thing that you're harping on that you're saying and I'm using thing and I don't mean call all these things but the very thing that you're harping on saying that we don't have we're literally using the scriptures are from him the scriptures come from the Holy Spirit and so to deny that or to say that someone didn't have the Holy Spirit and they're relying on head knowledge you ma'am you sir are acting silly you are being contrary to the scriptures what you just said is antithetical now we know the importance of the word because matter of fact let's go to Psalm he says in Psalm 119 119 says your word have I treasured in my heart that I might not sit against you so what does what does the word do it causes you to not sin this word right here treasure this word right here means to kind of keep to guard to hide okay and we're going to come back to that in just a second but it's very important that we recognize that by the way Anseltine for all thank you so much for the super chat or super sticker thank you so much but the word is ridiculously important I didn't sound right for me saying that the word is ridiculously important but it is without it you are going to stumble without it you go matter of fact here's my question how many of you have faith without the word of God is it possible now think about this for a second is it possible to have faith without the word of God or I'll put it this way how much faith can you have without the word of God how much faith could you possibly have without the word of God I when you think about it your your level of faith is dependent on the word of God where do you get that from Cory it's almost like it's almost like you're making that up Cory well I'm not Hebrews 11 here's what it says now faith I have an Holy Spirit and so forth I think produces this now faith is the assurance of things hope for it the conviction that things not seen for by it the men of old gain approval now you'll find people that come against me for you will oftentimes come to this particular passage for various reasons by faith look what it says though here's here it is the important part verse three by faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God so that what is seen was not made that I'm sorry was not made out other things which are visible by faith able offered to God a better sacrifice now here's the question how do we know this how do we know any of this how do we know by faith that the worlds were created by God is there any way how do you know it raise your hand if you were there raise your hand if you absolutely know good witness can testify yeah I know exactly what happened when God created the heavens in the earth I know exactly how you don't know except for the word Romans 50 matter of fact let me put Romans 15 for I didn't put it up there but I should have put it up there because there's a reason for this is the bible Romans 15 for for whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction so that through perseverance and the encouragement of scriptures we might have hope so this this ability to have hope comes from the scriptures you have to have the scriptures if you don't have the scriptures then all you have is blind faith and those people who claim to have faith but don't read the bible are soon to be former Christians not that they were ever Christians to begin with but they are soon to be former why is that because your faith was based off of a thought and not anything tangible someone told you but you never you never saw or investigated for yourself and so therein lies your problem so someone can tell you Islam is true someone can tell you that part of the bible is messed up that there's errors they can give you all sorts of things but because you have not investigated yourself well then you're subject to whatever they tell you now there are those that will tell us that too much of this reading is a problem as a matter of fact they'll try to convince you and I and others really others not us because we know better when someone doesn't read the bible tries to convince people who do read the bible and i mean read the bible as a pattern of life they don't go very far as a matter of fact oftentimes you're going to find that those people who say they rely so much on the spirit when they're they don't want to talk to someone who reads the bible a lot why because they recognize that they might be at a disadvantage and so what they want to do is they want to they want to impugn you in the eyes of other people i'm gonna put up a passage i'm gonna put a passage not a passage but a clip that we've covered before and i want because i think i think it's it's germane to what we're talking about it's like a lot of these guys they're making their brain do mental gymnastics and binge watching videos and reading all the time because they're really they have not confronted the stuff that's really inside of them and it's a it's an escape now how he knows is i don't know that when people do that it's what they're doing is they're they're covering up there there's something hidden it's an escape from something it's an escape from something how do you know that i how do you know that you you don't know that you don't know that as a matter of fact let me put this up he says the theology has become a bad word uh oh i moved i lost it there it is has become a bad word uh to those with no understanding yes as a matter of fact good thing that you put that up because we're going to talk about someone who's going to say that there's too much theology can be a bad thing but let's go back to him listen to what he says about us so it's like okay well i do drugs but you do you know like you snort books yeah you know how's that come out of your mouth you snort books does that does that i do drugs but you snort books you're you're reading too much you're reading the bible way too much my friend that's too get out of that bible and go do something with yourself you know it's like you know like you're you're just as much a distracted with your stuff it's it's just addiction and another flavor you know what i mean um you don't really even care about god you don't have a relationship with god you're just you're just obsessed with the things of god you know because it's a great distraction from your own trauma okay a couple things this is this is this is bob this is funny he says you don't even care about the things of god you're just it's a distraction you don't why would you say that who wants to read the bible now the things of god are literally his words literally his words those are the things of god so to turn around and say that we're being distracted by the how do you make make that make sense it it really doesn't what it what it really is and oh by the way oh by the way oh by the way this is a pastor please let that sink in this is a pastor who would make that statement that you don't even care about the things of god you just into the word of god huh you don't care about the things of god you're just into the word of god this this i'm gonna need some help with that now what's funny what's interesting is that uh his partner is is sitting there and just eating it up i want i want to play that again i want to play that again let me let me fast forward to that part again i think this this is just it's interesting but it's all so sad because the amount of influence that these two gentlemen have as well as others that are like them is amazing people are listening to them and they're not paying attention what they're saying if your leader or the person that you like or the person that you follow says anything like this i might i would say listen you you one you don't have a biblical leader you might want to find someone else that there's here's what's funny you would at least hope that they could find something in the back of what they're saying in the scriptures but what's going to be absent from what they're saying is a bible verse it's like a lot of these guys they're making it's just addiction and another flavor you know what i mean you don't really even care about god you don't have a relationship with god you're just you're just obsessed with the things of god that's a hard thing to say you really don't care about god or you just obsessed with okay that's obviously there's nothing difficult about it obviously there's nothing difficult about it let me just say this have you ever thought about how satan actually attacks think about what satan does now we've covered before satan doesn't have a whole lot of tricks up his sleeve he really doesn't have a whole lot of tricks up his sleeve and by the way cg i don't have a problem with this addiction i don't have a problem with this addiction at all one iota i am fine if you say that i'm addicted to the word of god no problem no problem uh giordnalli's thank you for super chat he says there is two there are too many passages that approves god's word like his equal 17 plus personally a testimony uh ever since i embrace god's word my life's a man a man and oh the last part thank you i appreciate that that i didn't put on i didn't put on the screen i'm sorry there it is i should have put on the screen thank you thank you and tyrone dunson thank you also for the super chat you know what i can't tell you how when i'm in the word how my life is better matter of fact even on the days just going day by day if i have the word of god in me in that day i'm better off i'm i'm so much better off by having read his word even if even if it's it's an extra minute literally an extra minute if i read an extra page now there's two types of readings you can do there's the reading for just your own uh comfort level your own edification almost like reading the reading a book for book sake i'm just enjoying this i'm not necessarily looking for it to prove a particular lesson i'm just reading it and just absorbing what it's what it's giving me and then the other way that you read it i'm i'm studying it i'm looking up a particular doctor i'm covering that's both are fine both are fine there's no there's there's always that you've heard the saying that you you you can always get too much of a good thing yeah but not this the person that said that didn't say that about the bible hadn't read the bible you could never get too much of it but now let's think about let's think about satan because who of all the people that you can think of of all the people that you can think of human beings or demonic who would have the greatest interest in you or me or anyone else not reading the word who would ever say let's have less less word less less is more now i was an architect student i was an architect student and there's a famous architectural phrase you've heard it didn't know it came from an architect that says less is more never heard that before less is more well less is more is is fine when you're doing when you're doing space and design less is more fine but not when it comes to scriptures but when it comes to satan in the scriptures less is more he's only got he's only got two tricks up his sleep and both of them pertain to the word now let's go to it as a matter of fact genesis three now the serpent was more crafty than any beast in the field which the lord god had made and he said the woman indeed has god said is that does the bible say so is that what the bible says are you sure about the bible are you correct are you are you sure that's what it says hmm well the woman says yeah it does say that okay good yeah it does say that it does say that but you're misunderstanding now what does he do what's he trying to do the bible says that the fruit that she saw it was pleasing to her eyes that it was desiring so he's going to twist it to kind of get you to do what you want to do he's not going to twist the scriptures for you or distort them to cause you to do what you don't want to do in your flesh in other words he's not going to twist something and then cause me to all of a sudden let's say you want to go i don't know do drugs i don't do drugs except for coffee and sugar and sweets which is sugar and some more coffee and sweets sweet coffee but other than that he can't twist he can't twist something to make me want to go do drugs listen if you if you said cori there's there's there's a ton of xyz drug over there okay i wouldn't care how much if every demon on the planet was whispering in my ear it it's not gonna work for me now cori you just said you're gonna cut back on sweets and your daughter just brought home this beautiful looking cake i'm hooked i'm hooked matter of fact that demon didn't have to whisper that much i'm there if it's sweets i'm dragging the demon to the sweets that's just that that's just me he is going to tempt you in the areas not that that's your weakest and the reason why you're weakest is because that's what you want and so when you see people out here doing these little ridiculous things these these exaggerated movements calling it the Holy Spirit it's because it fulfills a desire for them being great being seen as great and then those in the audience i want to be great too even if we're just great in our own mind that's why you have a world full of people who just simply make up things as they go call me this i i feel like going by this gender i'm this i'm that identify as this i well you're gonna have a hard time identifying as someone who's cool when you're in hell so god wants you to be serious about what is real like his word now we also have jesus who similarly who similarly was tempted by the devil the devil did the exact same thing the devil does the exact same thing that he does with e with jesus the exact same thing he goes at him with the word what is jesus's response jesus's response is in matthew 4 4 he says but he answered it is written man shall not live on bread alone but but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of god where is this word established where do we where do we know this where where can we find this word today that proceeds forward out the mouth of god oh i know the bible so we should live off of that that's our source now if the devil will go after eve in the garden remember you and i have never been in a situation as ideal as the garden of eating no sin whatsoever at least yet no sin perfect you and your spouse are running around naked eating up eating fruit and so forth not having to care in the world none of that in them in the most ideal situation how to say to attack them and then jesus who has created even the very thing that's coming after him so if the devil will go after eve with the word twisting the word and the devil will go after jesus and try to attempt to twist the word what do you think he's going to do with you the same thing and oh by the way you fall faster you fall just like i do we fall a lot faster than eve or jesus jesus didn't fall you would before the devil would have gotten a half a syllable out of his mouth you and i would have eaten the fruit the fruit would have been bitten before the devil would have said when the devil says did god before he gets the word out we would whatever the fruit was we we would have eaten it he wants to twist the word and so our only recourse is to well one fight him and go to the word even more so go to the word even more so but we think that because yeah we shouldn't we we shouldn't do we shouldn't think that much too much thinking is a bad thing or let me just let me just put it the way that that voting puts it because everybody knows if you really want to love god you got to be ignorant yeah we we we should be ignorant and the way that we can be at our at our ignorantist i just made that word up our our ignorantist is just simply not read the word now paul did say i don't want you to be ignorant i would have you not ignorant i don't want you to be ignorant i don't want you to be annoying and we think that the more you study the the more listen the bible study scriptures is not a holy spirit repellent no reading the bible does not repel the holy spirit reading the bible invites the holy spirit it brings about a closeness to you yeah but you're already saved you're already saved you got the holy spirit in you so you don't really need to read as much but can i go in and take you to the words of a very famous modern-day prophet i like what this modern-day prophet says matter of fact i think we haven't we haven't used his sayings in quite a while but this very famous modern-day prophet he gives us some words of wisdom you can be saved and stupid tweet that you can be saved and stupid i agree amen you know what you want to speak in tongues go ahead and speak in tongues on that go ahead and speak in tongues on that because what he said was correct you can be saved and just because you say does not mean you're not but and paul says that we should grow in the grace and knowledge of the lord so as we're growing we're growing in his grace as well as the knowledge of him that's how we know what he wants you don't know what god what god wants if you don't know god the only you know god is know his word that's the only way all scripture has been given it's been breath out and is profitable for our instructions for reproof for correction and so that every person can be complete not lacking anything now i want to play this this other clip this other clip i played this before but this is the height of just it's just silly for it for it to come out of his mouth but again is it dangerous to study too much theology in my opinion yes my opinion is this if you become so head knowledge and knowing all about god like the Pharisees did they knew all the laws they knew the um all the scriptures by the way if you actually did study you would know that the Pharisees did not know all the word of god as a matter of fact the Pharisees were horrible when it came you know what Jesus never said to the Pharisees that is if you actually read it if you studied it you would actually find out that Jesus never once went to them and said you know what you guys you guys really know this word you guys are smart you guys you guys are really something else when it comes no Jesus Jesus never committed them for their knowledge of the word what he did attribute to them was their disobedience their hypocrisy and their love for self he knew they knew some words some of the scriptures of course but he would say he would always rebuke them if this is not the way it was think about when they were talking about marriage Jesus rebuke them saying it's not so but out of the heart of your heart this is why they didn't know Jesus never said that the Pharisees you guys know the scriptures very well he find that he doesn't yet they didn't know the messiah when he came this is what we're going through in romans they thought by learning the scripture by doing all the rituals that they were saved and they were spiritual and they were christian and it did the adverse effect they knew so much that they missed them again what Pharisees were we talking about in romans none none sire when he came so should we know theology yes theology is the study of god ology is the study of theo is god so theology is the study of god i think it's great to study theology i think it's good to know theology but when you know so much and you're not a practitioner it creates pride at puffs up okay well let's just handle that with the scriptures what is the bible says matter of fact let me go ahead and go to the king james version i like the way the king james version reads on this party he says study huh isiah study why study to show yourself or i'm sorry if i want to read the king james version i must read it the way the king james version reads study to show thyself approved unto god a workman that needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth yes so should we study yes how often as often as you can as often as you can now obviously you have to live and you have to live it out the model here when it comes on the screen whenever you see that little red outro or intro have you ever had let me ask you guys a question have you guys looked at the words when it pops up do you all know what it says do y'all how many y'all know know what it says do y'all remember what it says when that when the red when the red intro comes on i'm just wondering i'm just and i'm hoping i'm hoping you guys remember it i'm hoping you guys have seen it hurts my heart it hurts my it will hurt my heart if you guys don't know if you haven't thank you jeff jeff knows it learn it love it live it y'all don't believe him here it is yeah you should love the word so much that you learn it in order to live it how well you live it by in your in your in your practice in your dealing with others but also how you convey it it's of the it's what he left us with it's the one thing that we can literally put our hands on and touch the word of god love it learn it and live it so that's why you ought to study as often as you can and then go and put it into practice why is this important why because the word of god according to the bible is living the word of god that we're studying we're studying what is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit both joints and marrow and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart now let me say this whether you believe in a dichotomy of man or trichotomy man it didn't really matter in this point the only thing that can cut through the soul and spirit if it's possible is the word of god so should we study it absolutely now you can study it in a in a way that that is incorrect because bad and i like how jama carter puts a bad study is almost like not studying at all the importance of careful biblical interpretation couldn't be overstated it's impossible to overstate it misinterpreting the bible listen is essentially no better than not believing yeah but when you have someone that brings about a misinterpretation of it and you haven't read yourself how will you know it would be impossible for you yourself to know it would be in it would be difficult for you to know what the word says because you're taking someone else's understanding because you haven't read it yourself so what does what does paul say what does paul say about the matter in 2nd Timothy 4 he says i solemnly charge you in the presence of god and of christ jesus who is to judge the living and the dead and by his appearing in his kingdom preach the word crooks on preach it call it out yell it preach the word when he says be ready in season and out of season well even if i don't know when the season is and when i'll know if it's either in season or out of season it's both times all the time be ready to do so reprove that means when someone says something incorrectly what prove them right well how do you how do you how can you possibly prove someone who's giving bad information excuse me how could you prove them right or wrong well you you must know the scriptures yourself reprove rebuke we shouldn't rebuke we should just pray for people we should we should never correct anyone we should never call them that we should know that's not what the word says rebuke exhort with great and exhort with great patience you do all three of these things you encourage people you rebuke people and you prove them you teach them how with all long suffering with great patience keep doing it so how often will we call out false teachings according to the scripture with great patience and instruction how often would we teach a particular passage a doctor and so forth with all long suffering over and over ever and ever ever and ever how how long is ever and ever so long we took the four of ever and ever should we ever rebuke someone hey you're doing when should you how often should you call someone out whether it's rebuke with great exhortation with great patience and all long suffer all the time but Cory there's always going to be somebody who is there there's always going to be somebody that doesn't agree with this doctrine that doctrine so we're in the bible do we do we hear give it to them once and then hope they get it throw whatever you can to the wall and see what sticks that's not that it's not our mission how long did it take for you after hearing the word of god for you to come you i promise you i don't care what you say if you tell me differently i know you're lying and you won't lie to me how often how long did it take for you once hearing the word of god to decide you know what place your faith in christ you did it the very first time no you didn't you did not place your faith in christ the first time you heard no no so while you have time what we do we keep trying we keep calling out we keep doing as it's going to be this way until the end of time why why because somebody hadn't heard this i can promise you you can say the same thing a thousand times and someone's going to say i've heard enough times yeah but of course he just heard it and i can promise you there'll be a testimony from somebody who's like man i i thank you for what you just said for what you heard i've never heard that you keep doing it you and at some point in time it might sink in because you don't know what position you're in you don't know if you are in the position of the one that's planting or the one that's watering that god is using ultimately he's going to give the increase so therefore you keep doing it what did paul say in season and out of season in season and out of season keep let's continue for the time will come which is now when they will not endure sound doctrine wanting to have their ears tickled wait a second court no we should just listen stop with all that theology all that doctrine all that studying why it's literally bread it's literally my life it's your life it's our life it's all we got it's all we got yeah we have a holy spirit that's i'm i'm not minimizing holy spirit because if you don't do this in concert with the holy spirit then you have nothing an unsaved person can read this but that unsaved person that reads this they are damning themselves they are heaping judgment upon themselves because they're literally looking at what they need to know but those of us that have the holy spirit what do we do next turn to turn to it for our instructions so he says uh but one have their ears tickled they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires what happened with eve her own desires what does james say we are led away the lust for our heart we are led away by our own desires but be so be sober in all things endure hardship do the work of advances fulfill your ministry what does he say now something interesting that paul says verse seven he says i have fought the good fight well there are some people that that would not want us to fight the good fight there are some people that would rather as you know what just say what you got to say and leave it alone say what you got say it once hit it once and bam that's it no this fight is an lasting fight i have been fighting the good fight i have i have fought i have fought i have i've fought and fought and fought and fought and fought i fought the good fight the good fight in a quick fight now as much as we would like it to be we would like to be in the fight where it takes us just one hit and we can we can knock our opponent down that's it but that's not really a fight is we have fought the good fight and look what paul says as he is as he says i fought the good fight i have finished the course i have kept the faith this is the part i want i want to focus on i have kept the faith me highlight this let me highlight this how did i do that okay let me wait a minute i don't know how i just did this whole thing like that i did not mean to highlight the whole part okay now let's make it better i have there it is why is it doing okay whatever the whole thing's highlighted i'm not gonna even fool with it i have fought the good fight look he says i have kept the you know what i know what i'll do i know what i'll do this thing is not going to get the best of me what i need to do is study this this software to figure it out but what he says here i have kept the faith this you see highlighted in the blue i have kept the faith he has kept the faith the tenets of the faith you only keep the tenets of the faith if you know the tenets of the faith you only know the tenets of the faith if you read the tenets of the faith in the book that's the only way you cannot get this understanding by osmosis by putting the bible on your head you put the book on your head and that's that you know that that's that's not how we're saved that's not how we grow okay now i understand i understand in the early days of the church um they didn't have bibles like we had they couldn't read like we wanted to read now think about this though and this is to our shame he says cori has a little grandpa chuckle i never thought i probably do now now now you've got i'm gonna be so self conscious about it i'll be thinking about it now i don't even want i don't even want to chuckle now i can't do it dog on rock you don't you don't mess you don't mess the whole you don't mess the whole video up but don't you think about something though in the day at the founding of the church they didn't have what we have they didn't have the research they didn't have the they didn't have the bible like we had they they just didn't what would they have killed for could you imagine could you could did anyone graduate from Marcus Ryder's seminary yet no i'm didn't want to apply could you imagine though the envy of them could you imagine because do you know what paul didn't have do you know what peter even peter didn't have do you know what john didn't have they didn't have the word like they didn't have the print word where they could just open it up no paul did not have the print word you know how we know well by reading the bible look what he says verse 11 he says only lucas with me pick up mark and bring him with you for his useful uh useful service to me of usefulness i can't even speak it for he is useful to me for service now let's drop down he says when you come bring the cloak which i left at troas with carpas and the books or what books especially the parchment paul did not have all of the writings you know you and i have even on our own little phone even with we have all we have a wealth of information at our disposal we can we can go and look up stuff even if you've never bought a book if you don't have a cordon's bible software somebody's gonna ask what this is this is a cordon's bible software if you don't have a lot guys if you don't have some sort of bible software that's fine even google as wicked as google can be youtube is what you can go there and you can just type in something and get information you can look at maps you can find out what the customs were if you don't know greek or heber you can act like you do and look up someone else can help help you out and tell you you've got a wealth of resources at our fingertips and we don't even use them they would kill to well first of all they would probably kill to have a cell phone but to have what we have in the palm of our hands we've got more at our disposal now what they did have though since they didn't have the bible they did have the apostles well that's pretty cool that's pretty cool what bible software do you use i use a lot this is this bible software right here is a cordon's but i also use lagos i use them both i just put a cordon's up because a cordon's just looks better it's more aesthetically pleasing on screen than than lagos lagos it kind of jumps around a little bit it just i don't like it i can do this a lot quicker i put a 30 passages and move fluid not fluidly what's the word seamlessly through it that i could with a cordon's but the point is i mean than the lagos but we've got all this information we've got all this information and then someone will come and say you don't need that much all all you need is the holy spirit all you need is the holy spirit well sure all you need is the holy spirit for salvation you're absolutely right but what about growing so don't diminish what the holy spirit has given us which is his word do not give the whole do not diminish what he's given us which is his word this is what we live by guys this is what we have at our disposal this is what this is what keeps us fat this is what keeps us moving this is what keeps us growing his word why do we need his word because you've heard some of the ridiculous statements that were made earlier you've heard some of these things and it's just it's an affront to god than what he's given us amen that chosen reborn guys thank you for soup chat he says reading the word makes my day so much better same here i find myself reading every day without fail thank you know it's funny sometimes i'll read and i don't i don't have enough time to go through what i need to go through i just i just don't tend to thank you for the super chat uh as well as tie your guy i mean your guy tie thank you as well but just being saved if if a person truly is saved if a person truly is saved with an amen praise god i listen i'll say it again you are not saved by what you know say it again you're not saved by what you know but what you know helps you get closer to who you know you're not saved by what you know you're saved by who you know knowing christ is what makes you save but what you know about him draws you closer you get to know how he moves the mind that that's been given to us in in print form he's revealed himself in a few ways in nature even the even the heavens declare his handiwork he's done that he's revealed himself in the person jesus christ and he's revealed himself through his work now we don't know about jesus christ as we weren't there except through his work we get to see his character and his nature so the fact of the matter is if you are listening to someone that tells you that too much study is a bad thing and they want to pit the holy spirit against studying reject that person reject that person the most dangerous thing as a matter of fact from the very beginning we are in the position that we are in because someone some demon some devil some serpent came and made it as though that the word of god is not as important and so i will leave you with this because it's true like what he said you can be saved and at the same time not know much but you should there's no excuse for not knowing the word of god there's none whatsoever so again you can be saved and stupid you can be saved and stupid treat that you can be saved
