 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 it. Because there is a war against the Word of God, because there is a war and an ongoing nonstop attack against the Bible, we'll always have to deal with foolishness, we'll always have to deal with people saying ignorant things, even from people who claim to be Christian, who say they're Christian, but say certain things. There's this race to see who can't say something profound that's not found in the Bible. There's a race to see who can say the most provocative or clever thing that's not in the scriptures. And you don't need the Bible to back it up. All you need is, as they would say, the Holy Spirit. There's a battle to kind of place between different Christians is this conflict between the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. As a matter of fact, they even have a clever saying. It goes like this. The three members of the Trinity are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Scriptures, as though people who focus on the scriptures, that has supplanted the Holy Spirit. Well, that is, let me just say it up front, that is an asinine thing to say from any Christian. Why? Because the Bible tells us, let's go ahead and put it on the screen so that they can know, because maybe they don't know this, but they can know that the Bible says, God says all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. Why? So that the man of God or woman may be adequate, equipped for every good work. And so to put the Bible as though it is some sort of afterthought that we shouldn't have this big of a reliance on it is just absolutely foolish. It's absolutely silly. And the problem is you've got people who also don't read like they're supposed to when they hear it. You know what it does? It makes them feel better about themselves for not reading. When they hear some of these people make these statements, you know what? I can agree with that because since I don't read the Bible that much myself and I'm not that focused on it, then yeah, you're probably right. These people who want to keep going to the Bible and focusing on it, there's something wrong with it. As a matter of fact, I played a little bit of a clip of this a few days ago. I want to play it again. This is Mike Signorelli. He's a pastor. He's speaking with Isaiah Saldivar at Isaiah's new at his new studio, and he's mentioned about him going through some trauma and him having addictions or what have you. But then he talks about how it's similar to people who have this maybe what he would call an addiction on the word, which sounds silly when you think about it. And the reason why they would have this addiction. Let's let's play. I feel like the alcohol was me avoiding suffering. Yeah, you know, the intellectualism was really just me trying to escape. You know, a lot of these people who get into like intellectualism and a lot of these guys who are like very into like the deep exegetical stuff in scripture and like the the reform community guys, the heresy hunters. I wonder how many of them are using that to escape the actual thoughts that would happen if they weren't so focused on the intellectualism. Because sometimes you got to keep your mind busy. Because if you quieted your mind, you'd have to actually confront trauma. Wow. So it's like. And so I'll continue playing the rest of it. First of all, Isaiah Saldivar is eating this up. He loves this. That's fine with him because that's right of his alley. Why we'll find out that neither him nor theology, neither him nor the Bible are all that friendly. Now, they may read through it, they may go over it, but their understanding of it is lacking. Now, for him, Mike Signorelli, who's a pastor, for him to say so is just mind blowing. The Bible has given instructions for pastors and their guidebook is obviously what? The book, the Bible. And so to make this statement and that there are people who may be they're using the Bible as kind of a coping mechanism to kind of take themselves away from trauma. First of all, first of all, if that's what you turn to in dealing with trauma, well, then amen. I understand that a lot of people think that we ought to go to outside sources or have someone come lay hands on you. But you can't you can't do any better than when you're having something that's bothering you, struggling trauma even, you can't find any better source than the Bible to go to. Because sometimes you need to read and see what the Lord has to say about the matter, because I guess what? Guess what? He has said something about the matter. And so for a pastor to say that that that that's a problem. I'm going to get more on on this issue with these pastors and these preachers and these teachers where they where they be on YouTube, where they be somewhere in the backwoods. I've got something to say to them. And if that's one of if you're one of those people, then this message is going to be for you, but it's not just for them. It's also for all of us. 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. Yeah. So it's like, Okay, well, I do drugs, but you do, you know, like you snort books. Yeah, 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? 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. Yeah. I'm gonna I think I'm probably gonna play this clip again. I'm probably gonna play this clip again. But we are we don't even we don't have a relationship with God, but we are more enamored. I'm kind of changing the words a little bit, but enamored with the things of God, you mean like the word of God? Yeah, you know what? I'm I'm gonna play this part again. I'm gonna I'm gonna come back to it. But I've got a problem with what you just said. Matter of fact, not only do I have a problem with what you just said, so does the Bible. We're gonna we're gonna look at some more scriptures because you guys, you think that that's an addiction of ours. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with you saying that we have an addiction and we use this addiction, which is the word of God, that was literally breathed out by the Holy Spirit that we use that to deal with trauma. Well, amen. Praise God for that. What do you use to deal with trauma? What do you what do you use? What do you focus on? What do you run to when you have issues? Some some other person to put his hands on you? Someone to wave on you? Someone tell some demon to come out, come out, come out, come out? No, rather than is where is it is that? I don't think you really thought through what you just said, or maybe you did. Maybe you thought it would go over well with your audience or his audience. I'm not sure, but it didn't go over well with actual thinking smart Christians. Y'all see, I put that in there, smart Christians. It didn't go over well with heaven either. That this makes absolutely no sense. But then when you asked Isaiah, his friend, he'll say things like too much theology is a bad thing. Studying too much theology can be a bad thing. Much theology. 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 all the scriptures, 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 the Messiah when he came. So should we know theology? Yes, theology is the study of God. Allergy 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. It puffs up. Now I want to deal with a couple of things. This issue about about being puffed up. I thought it was kind of cute what he said. Theology means that ology is a study. No, it's the Laga part is the study of or the speaking of and then Theos is God. Now I don't expect him to know that that much because he does it. He is not a person who is into studying the Bible. He just is not. Now he makes a statement. You heard this statement before a lot of times. Knowledge puffs up. There are passages in the Bible guys. There are passages in the Bible that get misunderstood and get taken out of context all the time. This is one of those passages such as in the name of Jesus. How do we use that? People misuse that as though it's a set of magical words like open sesame. There's a lot of different passages. I can do all things through Christ. I mean I can do anything through Christ because he strengthens me. Now well this is also one of those passages where people go to or they look at matter of fact they don't even go to it. They've heard it. They've read it or portion of it or heard someone recite it or repeat it and they repeat it because no one said no that's not in the Bible. It is in the Bible. Knowledge does pop up. But let's see if it means what he says. In 1st Corinthians chapter 8 verse 1 now concerning things sacrifice to idols well that gives us an understanding of where we're going in because remember Paul is writing this book. He's writing the book of Corinth to this first book to the church of Corinth. Now this isn't the first book that he's written to them the first letter but this is the first one that we have that's authoritative that's from the Holy Spirit and so he's writing dealing with all these different issues spiritual gifts family all of this is kind of entailed with divisions and unity and so forth. So he says now concerning things sacrifice to idols we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant or puffs up but love adifies. If anyone supposes that he knows anything he has not yet known as he ought to know but if anyone loves God he is known by God. Well now we're kind of getting an understanding. He said nice nice sweater thank you. My daughter would appreciate my daughter is the one that bought that. A lot of my clothes my kids buy. I can't let them buy too many of my clothes because well five is reason I'm not wearing skinny pants. I'm not wearing colorful pants. I like looking like I'm you know have a little bit of age on me so but thank you she would appreciate that I'll let her I'll let her know. But look what he says now therefore verse verse four therefore concerning the eating of things sacrifice idols we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world and that there is no God but one and so look what he's saying listen to the context what he's saying he says for even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth as indeed there are many gods and many Lords yet for us there is but one God the father from whom all things and we exist for him and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom all things were exist look what he says however not all men have this knowledge do you all think that that knowledge is the knowledge and knowledge of the true and living God and Jesus as Lord do you all think that Paul meant that that knowledge is what puffs up no he's speaking concerning this knowledge of the world this idolatry of these different gods and so forth and so this is what he's speaking of we do this thing where we hear passage it makes sense and we run with it knowledge puffs up knowledge puffs up well listen i can tell you the more you study and the more you read this book the more you get into it the more you are going to be humbled it will not puff you up are with me and so to make this statement is a ridiculous statement but now you've got people who who for some reason who had this assault on studying we had this assault on learning they're out here and they're trying to promote it us for years there's things that you learn the bible college that are wrong all right i've seen it i've seen guys making videos i've seen some of the things that they teach and it's actually you know contradicting the word of God but people think oh why wouldn't the bible college i know it all and then there's an element of pride there right god resisted the pride like god can't even show you that hey what you learned is wrong can i ask you guys a question this is me when you hear these people talk about those who read the bible and point to the bible as though they're that we're proud doesn't seem like they're all so proud i don't think that we're proud now people who sit corey you're proud you're arrogant arrogant about what proud about that i'm proud about what this word says i'm boasting in this word i've never spoke about my ability what i can do what i can't do i simply all there are said is it if you disagree with me well then show me the scriptures but i'm not going to take your word that you can't find or back up in the scriptures and then you turn around and say well you're arrogant you're proud you don't want to be wrong no now you're right i don't want to be wrong it's like no one on the planet wants to be wrong what kind of an idiot wants to be wrong no one wants to be wrong we all want to be right now if i am wrong because i want to be right i want you to show me i want you to show me and if you cannot show me in the scriptures well then you are being foolish you wanting me to take your word for it not yours you're the one my friend that has the pride not the people that are pointing to the word of god not the people that appointed you're just sarcastic i might be sarcastic that could that could be that that could be it's a lot better than what's going to happen to someone who doesn't know the lord my sarcasm if it is would be the least of their concerns but all i do is i keep going to the word at least i try to that's my goal my goal is to do so and to lead others and if anyone has a problem with that well i don't know to tell you makes me wonder who you're following if you're not following the word and you don't know if you're following after god i just i just i just want the word i just want the strength of the lord well how do you know unless you back it up with with with his word you think that what you're getting is god but it might be a different god it might be a very a vast different god and i've seen people who think that what they're leaning on to is god and it's not it's the world's uh imagination is the world's uh reproduction of god that's what we see and so you need to know there are these people out here nowadays who are going against this idea of the trinity and in doing so maybe they don't fully understand the trinity and so what they end up doing is they find themselves going against the fact that Jesus is god and we are clear we are clear that if you do not believe that he is god the bible is the bible said it we've shown the scriptures you cannot be saved and so now it was interesting though this is very same marcus ride which was calling people who have gone to some sort of bible bible school or seminary like that he's calling them prideful and puffed up and and folks on the nose but marcus what happened to the bible college that you were you were trying to by the way has anyone heard of what what's come of that has it gotten off the ground has it started what's the deal with this with this bible with the marcus rogers bible college what what has happened i guess it's firehouse you impugned it and here's the irony here is the greatest irony of it all have you ever noticed that the very same people that impugned folks like us you all you smart christians that impugned people from going to the scriptures to learn to study they may even look down or talk down on a bible college or seminary they'll talk down on that but they'll turn around and offer their own courses they'll offer their own school and their own courses their own teachings and then charge you you mean the you mean don't go to their school don't go learning listen to someone else but come and learn and listen for me and oh by the way pay a price for that that is the height of hypocrisy right there for you to put down someone else's education someone else's desire to learn and even do it formally but then here come take ours i've got a lesson i've got some sheets i got some papers for you to learn for you to go through and then i'll give you i'll give you your certificate after the end that's that's horrible because you think you're so proud about your little paper or certificate it's like there's no way i could be wrong i did three years i did four years and um number one the holy spirit is the best teacher you know bible college is a man-made institution you know i'm saying so let me just say how absolutely silly that statement is on the surface that look that makes sense the holy spirit is the best teacher i i agree with that i agree with that now how does the holy spirit teaches how does he do so because you can have two people who love the lord who are believers who have the holy spirit who disagree you can have two people who love the lord who are trying their best to be full of the spirit that day and they both disagree on something well the question is marcus or anyone else who's right who's wrong they both could be wrong but they both can't be right and so how do we know they both have the holy spirit well the lord is showing me that this is the right way what the other guy know the lord is showing me that this is the right way well wait a second we've got a problem we've got a problem then having the holy spirit does not eliminate the fact that you can be wrong so absent the holy spirit or even with the holy spirit i should say what should we rely on in using the holy spirit the very word that he gave us remember paul has his own sins that he has to deal with and his own pride he tells us that in romans and in first Corinthians second Corinthians peter is confronted by paul so two people with the holy spirit marcus and paul have a dispute about john mark two people with the holy spirit well three with the holy spirit as a matter of fact and in this case paul is is likely the one that's wrong we got a gospel bearing john mark's name shows that paul hey maybe you're wrong about about john mark point is though having the holy spirit doesn't mean that you know the stuff and so why does he give us his word that was a product of the holy spirit and so it's kind of a way to impune it's kind of a way to talk down about the person who's studying who does that what profession would you go to that you would have a problem with that person who is speaking to you advising you helping you what profession do you wish they did not study much do you want to go to the doctor who you know what he got a D but hey his father uh was somebody important in the hospital so he got through you don't want that do you you certainly don't want a a lawyer who doesn't know the law you don't want you don't even you know what you don't even want a mechanic who doesn't even know how to operate on the uh the machinery we've got everybody probably has a cousin or maybe you yourself um who's kind of a grease monkey who knows their way around cars and so forth but nowadays the way cars have gotten you have to know a whole lot more than what uh uncle fred used to know you know 30 40 50 years ago you've got to understand all these computer modules and so forth that are inside the so there's a lot of different things that we can point to that we hope for the person that's working with us are dealing with who are helping us that they also have studied matter of fact you would think you would think the bible would say something about studying you would think the bible would mention study oh it it does some of your versions say study to show you to show yourself approved this version says be diligent to present yourself approved as a workman who does not need to be a shame accurately handling the word of truth i'm going to come back to this in just a little bit as well about something that that that paul is saying about pastors yeah yeah camera pilot this pilot only this pilot only knew how to take off he got so far in his class that he all he ever learned was how to take off they there was a pilot short agent so they threw him on and well you know what at some point in time you got to land you might have to go through some turbulence well he he didn't get that far who needs that anyway i mean let's just study just words and men can be flawed that's just the bottom line and there's a lot of people that you know what bible college validated you but the holy spirit didn't some people went to bible college just because they thought it was a good idea like well you know i don't feel like going to school so i'm gonna go to bible college then they get a degree and they think oh i'm supposed to be a preacher i'm supposed to be an evangelist i'm supposed but the holy spirit didn't validate you not bible college and oh yeah i'm just supposed to preach the anointing the bible says is what destroys the yoke so you got a lot of people that are preaching that are teaching and they think that they're qualified because they went to bible college but there's no anointing there because yes you went to bible college for two years three years and you got you a pretty little certificate but you don't have no anointing and again it's still funny that you're offering now through your own schooling i don't know if it's up or not but through your own schooling a pretty little certificate by the way in terms of being qualified you're right going to bible college you're going to seminary does not necessarily make you qualify you're you are absolutely right as a matter of fact you do realize markers and just this is just FYI for everyone else the vast majority of people who go to seminary are not teachers are not pastors the vast majority of people who go to seminary are not pastors or teachers the vast majority or not they just there's a lot of people who went who just wanted to deepen their understanding when you go to seminary or you go to bible college there's going to be somebody hopefully that will confront you and ask you or at least train you how to spell out what it is you're thinking how to come to a conclusion how to know if your conclusion is based in the scripture you might be right in what you believe but you don't know how you got to where you believe you just took someone else's word for it if a person like yourself markers or Mike Signorelli or anyone else if that person wants to be a pastor their qualifications their qualifications Paul says it's trustworthy saving if the person wants to be in the office of an overseer that part it's a fine thing to do he says he must then be above approach the husband of one right prudent respectable hospital here it is look at this part able to teach able to teach must have the ability to teach that necessarily means that you have to do some studying that necessarily and this is an in by the way this isn't a pastoral thing a new testament thing we see in songs it says that your word have i now my version says treasured in your heart some of your all some of your versions may say have i hidden your heart the word this use here is uh excuse me the word this use here in the Hebrew is supine supine is the word to treasure to guard and so it means the same thing have i hidden have i guarded have i kept have i treasured have i stored up in my heart how do you get that well you don't get it by just you know every now and then i will sit and look at the bible you don't get it by getting more um holy ghost whirlwind um spending and casting out of demons and throwing your hands and waving around your coat and so forth that's not how that is not how you get it as a matter of fact how you know what you got is is the genuine thing is by studying look what he says let's continue blessed are you oh lord teach me your statutes marcus isaia my signal rally teach me your statutes how do we learn his statutes by his word now there can be a teacher there can be a pastor that's helping you but then you take what they tell you and you go back and you compare it to the scriptures he says with my lips i have told of all the ordinances of your mouth i didn't tell anything else i've told the ordinance of your mouth now you'll notice at times the bible speaks about people mentioning all the great things that the lord has done the miracles and the signs and wonders but do you know what the men of god speak more of than the wonders that god has done they speak more of his word they speak more of his word incidentally it's the first thing that satan comes and attacks did god really say well that's not what god actually meant when you eat of this fruit you won't die you'll be just like him that's been a trick of the enemy now and we've got people who call themselves christians doing the same thing continuing he says with my lips i've told of the all the ordinances of your mouth i have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches i will meditate on your precepts i will meditate on your precepts your orders and regard your ways i shall delight in your statues your teachings and i i shall not forget your word notice his focus hadn't wasn't even on the the miracles the mighty hand movement of god and those are important without question but but what's the more important thing that he's speaking of what comes out what proceeds from the mouth of god man shall not live by bread alone but but by how every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of god this is bible marcus isaia might this is this is bible and you guys have impugned it because you don't know the word of god and it's sad that you don't know the word of god just because you went to bible college doesn't mean everything that you teach is right i see a lot of guys trying and so yeah that's right just because you went doesn't mean that everything you teach is right but going there helps you out marcus is here's the problem that i do have here's a matter of fact let let me go back let me go back to um a good friend um book snorter and i want to i want to move to the point i want to move to what he says i'm a fast forward a little bit further to later on where he makes a statement because i feel like the alcohol was me it's an escape yeah so it's like okay well i do drugs but you do you know like you snort books yeah 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 this this is where um i get bothered this is where i get bothered you all have seen just go back and watch some of the old video clips the old setup where behind me there were all these books a ton of books i got a bunch of books matter of fact i don't have half the books that i started off with because when i was in prison and they moved me from the general population put me in this shoe special house in the hole i lost a lot of my property a lot of my books a lot of them and now i didn't do anything it's just but it's fine i lost a lot of my books that was that bothered me that really truly bothered me because even while i'm in in prison there was this desire for me to learn the word to grow in his word to grow and grow and grow not just for the sake of knowing it but for the sake of teaching it for the sake of imparting it i cannot impart the Holy Spirit to you what i can impart to you is his word what i can give is his word that's that that's what i could do i'm trying to i'm trying to nick uh we're gonna need you to stay on topic because this is probably for you i why are you here talking about miracles and i see people telling you to stay on on on on topic and so if you can't stay on topic then go ahead and leave but nick can you perform a miracle you guys are so focused on the things the signs well the bible says the bible says that a wicked not my words jesus but a wicked and adulterous not faithful generation they do what seek after signs they seek after miracles they want to see some things but none will be given to them except the sign of jonah which is jesus that's a sign how do we know that jesus died for our sins how do we know that he was buried for three days in rows like jonah because of his word now i was so convicted of my need and desire to grow in his word because that's all i have that's all i have is his word so can i show you something guys something i want to i want to put something on the screen i want you guys to see this uh somebody's gonna ask what bible software do i use now you've seen and of course even even in the old shot you could not see all of the books that i have and again that's about half of the books i lost but you could not see all the books that i have and so what i want to do i want to kind of replenish that without buying the actual hard book so what i do i go to this this software and what i can do is instead of buying instead of buying hard copy book i i can go and get these books over to the side these are let me go ahead these are recently open let's clear this uh these are all the books that i that i've bought on here now they and they cost the money these are all books all the different types of translations all the greek the hebrew the historical accounts all these if i want to go and look at the different dictionaries of what these words means even dictionary words words are found in some of the hymns i could do that if i want to go look at different people's commentaries loubert i mean luther albert barnes chadwick ryle if i want to look at hodges if i want to look at calvin if i want to look at homin's bible it if i want to go to the different greek lexicons phayer which is by the way pretty much obsolete now um strong's greek newman's greek uh the b-dag little scott if i want to go to the hebrew lexicons if i want to go to these different grammars such as walis and mounts and stevens and so forth roversons if i want to look at the cross references i can i can look at joseph's right i can look at the the writings of com of the comron caves if i want if i want to go to different theological studies burkhoff's and strong's i want to go to grudem's systematic theology or rireys or hodges or the different writers from the past like tozer and bonar and bunion i want to go to bunks i want to go to gordon's moody's i want to go to those places i can do that if i want to go look at the history of the church from the beginning up till now if i want to look at different biblical studies if i want to look at apparatuses such as meskers which by the way is the gold standard if i want to go look at the septuagin and the critical apparatus surrounding that or the the na 28th and the critical apparatus surrounding that or the heroes the greek studies and so forth that might be boring and mundane for some people but for me this is all i have i've got god's word that was breathe out and i want to study it as much as i can because what i don't know is all of the historical things that were happening at that day they're sitting around a campfire talking well why are they there what's happening why when they take peter or they take jesus uh to go before the the the Pharisees and to accuse him and they're in this inter court what inter court what are what are we talking about how is it that jesus by the way when peter rejects him when peter denies him jesus looks up and sees peter peter sees it they make eye contact how was that i thought peter was a good ways away no no no they're in this they're in this court together how and so maybe some some help would be there now it's not just that i don't just rely on just uh accordance i am in love with his word so much that not only do i have just the accordance bible software let's also go to log off i have i have log off as well i don't use it on on the screen because i don't think it shows as well on the screen but if i want to do some if i want to do research and so forth i'll pull up a passage on 647 i've got different commentaries of the folks that they say about it the actual word here i've got the greek set aside if this particular word is there i want to see how is this word set aside how often is it used is there a cognate of it in the hebrew as well i want to be able to do that as well and then look at the at the lexicon the greek lexicon there are various lexicon and there's just as many resources that i have on the log off as i do have on accordance now i don't pull this up in front of everybody because i can be a little bit boring a little bit but not this and so forth but the point is you're a pastor you don't do this you're a teacher and you don't do this this is the problem that we have the day how dare you go before anybody and you yourself hadn't studied this is why i say i'm gonna make i'm gonna do a commentary on this not on him but just camera buddy when he when he puts out he puts out something the other day maybe yesterday i'm not sure what it was about the word being demonized and possessed and he he is he's as wrong as three left feet he didn't know it because he didn't study because again he's the guy that thinks too much theology is a bad thing this guy when you hear him try to break down certain scripture he has no idea what he's doing think about these people that you see out there joey's you're right they they're lazy they're simply lazy think about the people that you see out there that we always have these issues with not just the the usual cast of characters but also the the ones that been doing for a long time the the uh the benny hands of the world the jessi duplanis is what about smile and joe what about jamal Bryant what about freddy hanes of the world what about all these people who do tjks they can they sound good sound good smell good look good they can man they can gent up some emotion some crying some laughter think about mike tide and tide white does bible jump off the page when you think about him is that the first thing that comes your mind with him the word of god no but that's the first instruction that that should go with him we talk about this five-fold ministry if you're a pastor and you keep saying five-fold ministry please stop it because there is no such thing as a five-fold ministry there are four offices that are mentioned in Ephesians 4 the one that you ascribed as the fifth one pastor teacher that's one pastor teacher that's one you don't know that because maybe you don't understand the greek that's fine there's enough commentaries in english for you to go and find this out it's not that difficult bible or scholar it's a bad word is something they are not that's not synonymous with him you you would never in your right mind i hope you wouldn't want to know what one of these people have to say about i don't know uh baptism what they have to say about the end times what they have to say about the atonement when was the last time you heard marcus rogers speak about the atonement what was the last time you heard now i've heard you mike tide bless his heart bless his heart he's trying and he these are men that need to sit down let me just let's go to what paul says let's just go to paul with paul says he says i solemnly i solemnly charge you in the presence of god and of christ jesus who is to judge the living and the dead by his appearing and his kingdom i want you all to notice what he said i want you all to notice what he says look what he says he says preach the word i'm sorry i thought too much of the word is a bad thing i thought knowledge puffs up why you say that because you simply don't understand i have not read preach the what preach the word be ready in season and out of season reprove how do you reprove someone with the word rebuke what do you rebuke them with you rebuke them with the word you exhort them how do you exhort how do you encourage through the word with all long suffering we know that god is in the same thing we have a history of him doing that with us wow because of the word he says for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine sound doctrine is not something that they have an affinity for that's bothersome as a matter of fact that's troublesome for them sound doctrine is not something that they really have a keen interest in if they did if they did they wouldn't make half the idiotic statements and they are idiotic statements you make these statements and you have no idea what you're talking about you'll get up there and you'll make a statement and what what did you just say what what what did you just say you said something that makes absolutely no sense and i think so i'm trying to be humble about it can you show me what you're saying in the scripture no no because you don't have the holy spirit you don't have the holy spirit so i can't show you i can't show you what i'm talking about because you don't have the holy spirit let's go back to it he says the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but wanting to have their ears tickled they will do what accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires and will turn away their ears from the truth and will it will turn aside the myth but us you all be sober in all things be sober in all things self-control your mind is brought under subjugation be be controlled be so reminded endure hardship do the work of an evangelist fulfill your ministry paul talk goes on talks about uh being aware of alexander why because he resisted their teaching resisted their message what we don't have enough men who are strong enough in the word so they don't care about alexander resisting their message because they don't even know what his message is but his word says his work because again it's just me maybe it's just me maybe maybe my bible software is off maybe my scriptures are off i would be i would be on alert i would be on high alert if i saw people in droves in droves in droves coming to hear my word and not be changed how do i know a person has changed how do you know a person has taken the word received it it is hidden in their heart how do you know two things when they leave their walk now their walk can be it can be disguised because we don't know again when you're on church grounds you act like a christian okay but their mouth their mouth what comes out of their mouth Jesus says it's gonna happen when the Holy Spirit gets in us we're going to testify of him and we're going to do so in a logical coherent fashion according to the scriptures maybe isaiah maybe marcus before i just hit my elbow on this thing it's gonna hurt a little while later maybe before you got your brand new 30 or 40 50 thousand dollar studio you had folks to you know folks gave for that instead of doing that instead of this beautiful i guess it's a beautiful house that you got marcus instead of opening the doors of the church mic instead of doing what you're doing instead of maybe instead of spending the money or taking money in and spending it on other things maybe the first thing you should have did with the money that you got from your new found fame or your followers maybe what you should have done was going to get you some books maybe listen and i'm not saying to be all the end all is this are these bible softwares no nor are the books that are in there but do you know what those things show us the person that would go out and to get these things at least can say i've got a desire to learn i've got a desire to present the gospel the right listen there's a stricter judgment on those who want to teach your motives has to be right but also that didn't mean that your delivery can be you can have a good heart but your delivery is all wrong that's like somebody saying hey listen i want to sing in the choir but i can't sing i'm sorry you're not singing i want to play the piano or can you play the piano i want to play the piano for the praise and worship group can you play the piano well i i'm starting lessons on monday okay well then that's not your getting that's not your area how hard is it how and listen i'm not i'm not wealthy i'm not wealthy you can go and get this according to bible software you can go and get a lot gosh you can go and get whatever else they have out there you can go and buy some books but on these there's a payment plan if you want there's a payment plan if you want and there are people out there that if they know that you are really trying to grow in knowledge they'll help them work with you you guys are not you guys are when was the last time that you guys have given us a deep dive in giving backgrounds on words and so forth how how do we know this word means that how do we know this means how do we know the context you guys can't do that don't want to do that because what you'd rather do is get up and do make sounds yell and scream you shouldn't be a pastor you shouldn't be a pastor you shouldn't be we see people we there there's a young man who is talking about um trying to figure these things out as he go he's learning as he goes and he's every other week changing his doctrine well stop talking about doctrine stop talking about theology you have no business being up here speaking about those do you think that god is going to say you know what yeah you didn't call yourself a teacher so i'll let you up as a no same way you didn't call yourself a prophet even though you gave a false prophecy i'll let you off a off the hook no that's like me going to the judge judge i don't call myself a murderer but you murdered yeah but there's a difference i'm not a murderer because i didn't call myself a same thing simply not calling yourself something that mean that you won't be charged as one and so you you expect for people to follow you and listen to you and when they disagree you have a problem with that you'll impugn their motives the fact they have a holy spirit anything like that will have you and so yeah there's going to be a stricter condemnation against you god and it's not me take what i'm saying as the warning call take what i'm saying as a warning because when you have to go to the principal's office you're not getting it's not it's not like school today where the the child acts up does all kind of vulgar and gross stuff go see the principal the principal sends him back to class no it's gonna be like the old days carol where when you act up you're getting a paddling you're getting a paddling and then you're getting expelled i'm gonna beat you and then send you on your merry way you can't be here let's make schools right again let's do that well what would that do make school no it's not the acronym was not good enough but i'm your warning i am literally see i want you all to think about this especially the people who do not desire the word and we have more and more we have more and more people uh you all if you've been paying attention to uh the rick warns of the world or the andy standings of the world the word of god is just being devalued right before our eyes it's being devalued right before our before our eyes and we've got this happening more and more and more let me tell you the worst that could happen to me the worst that can happen to me is i'm saved and i'm in his word but i'm not if you're right i'm not experiencing the fullness of god i'm not experiencing the power of the lord okay okay but i'm saved because i've noticed that they they tend not to say that folks like us are not saved now we might say that they're not safe because the worst thing that can happen to them is they're not safe the worst thing that can happen to you in our view in our setup if we're just doing kind of a risk assessment comparing uh what we're risking i'm risking what not having all 37 thousand demons that i have taken away i'm risking that you're risking spending eternity with those demons that that's what you're risking and you're teaching and training others to do the same thing so when you make a statement that too much theology is bad or when you make a statement that people are are focusing on reading books or reading the bible i should say reading the bible uh that's stupid it's just there's no other way to put it it's just it's stupid it's wrong it is basically demonic since you guys like to speak about what is demonic uh this is this is my friend my new friend um he is part of the idiotic school of thought we become so fixated on antiquated language and doctrinal disc and doctrine disconnected from the teachings of jesus that we dogmatically profess that we've forgotten that god is still speaking and that everything heard by god cannot always be cross-reference in scripture i need to help somebody today there are some christians who say things like if it ain't in the book it ain't real what are you talking about you mean to tell me you got the audacity to think that everything god wants you to know can only be found in the bible when you worship the bible more than you worship god is called biblialatry somebody may be saying so what are you saying pastor we don't need the bible i'm not saying that you don't need the bible i'm saying put it in its proper perspective you sitting up here talking about abraham isaac and jacob quote in ezekiel malachi daniel chadrach mishach and abednego you are talking we preach every week about folk who had no bible moses had no bible joshua had no bible abraham had no bible all they had was a word from god they heard and a feeling in their heart and here we are telling folk to stop trusting what they feel and stop trusting what they hear yeah you big yeah stop trusting what you feel stop trusting what you hear you do realize i like your haircut your ball with the glasses that's a good look but in really what's come out your mouth is absolute stupidity yeah stop trusting what you hear stop trusting what you feel the bible says he puts it this way lean not to your own understanding but acknowledge him stop trying to do it your way because you feel a certain way you think a certain way because someone has has said some things on prophesied the things that because we never hear prophecies that hey god is going to take everything that you love away from you we don't hear those kind of prophecies we hear only good prophecies stop saying stupid stuff in the pulpit and passing on as wisdom what you just said was complete heresy i know why though because you want to validate the members that are coming to your church the lgbtq members those that are sleeping around you want to validate them same as the other folks you want to validate the folks who don't have any desire to learn the word be running the word but what they want to do is know how they can be blessed they want to know how they can not take responsibility for the sins of their life and call it a demon that's what they want to do ladies and gentlemen if you listen to these people again they're not the only ones that are going to have to suffer the consequences why because you cannot say you cannot go before god with a clear conscience says well he told me she told me as i said she since we got a lot of women pastors nowadays who should not be pastors but he told me they told me god is not going to care about that you know why because just like the cesspool of the internet and youtube and so forth is available to bring you bad information there's a lot of good information on there too and you are to be brands stop going to somebody that tells you what you want to hear i would be a fool to go to a doctor and say hey doc this large gigantic growth on the back of my neck what is that oh that's nothing that's an extra set of muscles no go to another doctor well it's cancerous we got some problems we gotta we gotta fix this and deal with it now or you are going to die that's what i need to hear the other guy gives me what i want to hear marcus rogers what i want to hear isiah what i want to hear pagani what i want to hear walwood what i want to hear jamal brian what i want to hear smile and joe what i want to hear but the bible the word of god if i'm a smart christian i'm gonna get what i need to hear amen
