Hello and welcome back
to Behold the Lamb presents.
00:00:38.90\00:00:41.77
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:41.80\00:00:43.14
I want to thank
you for joining us.
00:00:43.17\00:00:45.47
Today's message is part
two of a two-part series
00:00:45.51\00:00:48.51
that we have entitled
"The Mass Bread and Wine,"
00:00:48.54\00:00:51.38
with Pastor Kenny Shelton.
00:00:51.41\00:00:53.11
In part two today,
Pastor Kenny will look at
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.78
the biblical relevancy
of the mass bread and wine.
00:00:55.82\00:00:59.89
The Catholic Church recommends
00:00:59.92\00:01:01.86
that their parishioners
attend mass every Sunday
00:01:01.89\00:01:04.93
and participate in the Eucharist
00:01:04.96\00:01:06.93
or the transformation
of the bread and wine
00:01:06.96\00:01:09.96
into the actual
body and blood of Christ.
00:01:10.00\00:01:13.17
We believe that
knowledge is power,
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.44
especially when it
comes to our faith.
00:01:15.47\00:01:17.81
We also believe that
a clear understanding
00:01:17.84\00:01:20.38
of this practice
will put you on a road
00:01:20.41\00:01:23.35
to a better
spiritual enlightenment
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.68
as to whether or not
this weekly practice agrees
00:01:25.71\00:01:28.82
with the teachings
of the Word of God.
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.95
Therefore, we hope that
you will take the time to study
00:01:30.99\00:01:33.92
this message along
with us here today.
00:01:33.96\00:01:36.52
But first let's visit 3ABN
and listen to a song entitled,
00:01:36.56\00:01:40.53
"Sweet Jesus," with
Scott Michael Bennett.
00:01:40.56\00:01:44.43
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:02:02.78\00:02:07.22
You are my faithful friend
00:02:07.26\00:02:11.53
You made me, and You know me
00:02:11.56\00:02:15.73
And You see my every sin
00:02:15.76\00:02:19.93
And my soul is amazed
00:02:19.97\00:02:22.14
By this gift of Your grace
00:02:22.17\00:02:24.71
And these arms that take me in
00:02:24.74\00:02:28.68
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:02:28.71\00:02:33.15
You are my faithful friend
00:02:33.18\00:02:36.15
Sweet Jesus, my shelter
00:02:43.96\00:02:48.30
You are my faithful friend
00:02:48.33\00:02:52.53
The refuge that I run to
00:02:52.57\00:02:56.47
When my world comes closing in
00:02:56.50\00:03:00.71
Why should I be afraid
00:03:00.74\00:03:02.94
When I know I am saved
00:03:02.98\00:03:05.25
By these arms that take me in
00:03:05.28\00:03:09.42
Sweet Jesus, my shelter
00:03:09.45\00:03:13.89
You are my faithful friend
00:03:13.92\00:03:16.89
Sweet Jesus, my shepherd
00:03:24.37\00:03:28.90
You are my faithful friend
00:03:28.94\00:03:33.17
You hold me, and You lead me
00:03:33.21\00:03:37.48
I'll follow till the end
00:03:37.51\00:03:41.45
And once more I will say
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.65
On that beautiful day
00:03:43.69\00:03:46.05
When Your arms take me in
00:03:46.09\00:03:49.06
Sweet Jesus, my shepherd
00:03:52.36\00:03:56.73
You are my faithful friend
00:03:56.77\00:03:59.73
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
00:04:02.77\00:04:07.74
You are my faithful friend
00:04:07.78\00:04:13.75
Thanks for
joining us once again here
00:04:31.13\00:04:32.70
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:04:32.73\00:04:34.07
We are excited to have you,
00:04:34.10\00:04:35.77
just be able to
spend this hour together.
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.97
We're on the second part,
00:04:38.01\00:04:39.64
and this is a very
important subject, second part.
00:04:39.67\00:04:42.04
We're going to be
talking about the mass
00:04:42.08\00:04:43.58
and the bread and wine.
00:04:43.61\00:04:44.95
What does that really mean?
00:04:44.98\00:04:46.31
Is that really a
doctrine from the Bible?
00:04:46.35\00:04:48.78
Is it an error from the enemy?
00:04:48.82\00:04:51.19
I think as we
study the Scripture,
00:04:51.22\00:04:52.55
we'll see very plainly
where it comes from and how,
00:04:52.59\00:04:55.82
remember
multitudes, millions of people
00:04:55.86\00:04:59.66
could be
deceived on this subject.
00:04:59.69\00:05:02.83
Now God would have
us to bring clear light,
00:05:02.86\00:05:04.97
don't you believe on this?
00:05:05.00\00:05:06.57
So we're going to do
that in just a moment.
00:05:06.60\00:05:08.00
Again, we're very
grateful and thankful.
00:05:08.04\00:05:09.80
Thank you for your prayers.
00:05:09.84\00:05:11.34
Thank you for your support
of Behold the Lamb Ministry,
00:05:11.37\00:05:13.54
and certainly 3ABN to
keep these programs airing
00:05:13.58\00:05:16.91
and going into all the world.
00:05:16.95\00:05:18.65
What a privilege that is.
00:05:18.68\00:05:20.48
And again, we
thank each one of you
00:05:20.52\00:05:21.85
for your cards and letters.
00:05:21.88\00:05:23.22
Keep them coming. We
want to hear from you.
00:05:23.25\00:05:25.72
We're going to be
praying right now.
00:05:25.75\00:05:27.09
I'm going to kneel.
00:05:27.12\00:05:28.46
And I ask you, where
you can, you kneel with me.
00:05:28.49\00:05:30.19
If not, just put a silent
prayer in throne room of God
00:05:30.23\00:05:33.60
and He's going
to hear an answer.
00:05:33.63\00:05:34.96
Shall we pray?
00:05:35.00\00:05:37.77
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:05:37.80\00:05:39.13
we thank You
again for Your love.
00:05:39.17\00:05:40.50
We ask now for the
anointing of Thy Holy Spirit.
00:05:40.54\00:05:43.37
Oh, how desperately we
need the Spirit of the living,
00:05:43.41\00:05:46.51
God to draw close to us.
00:05:46.54\00:05:47.88
Illuminate
these beautiful truths
00:05:47.91\00:05:49.78
that we may be able to
enlighten each and every one
00:05:49.81\00:05:52.21
that we may be drawn and giving
a call to come out of her,
00:05:52.25\00:05:55.52
my people and come
into the ranks of truth.
00:05:55.55\00:05:59.45
And we just ask in a special way
00:05:59.49\00:06:00.82
now that You would bless
00:06:00.86\00:06:02.19
with Your presence
and we'll thank You.
00:06:02.22\00:06:03.56
Thank you, for again,
every viewer, every listener.
00:06:03.59\00:06:05.96
And, Lord, may we stand today
00:06:05.99\00:06:08.46
and fast in Your
truth and in Your light.
00:06:08.50\00:06:10.50
And we're going to thank
You what You're going to do
00:06:10.53\00:06:12.10
in Jesus' name.
00:06:12.13\00:06:13.47
Amen.
00:06:13.50\00:06:15.40
Good, if you have your
Bible and pencil and paper,
00:06:15.44\00:06:17.01
get everything all out as
we move quickly as we can.
00:06:17.04\00:06:20.41
You know, a couple of
times we go through programs
00:06:20.44\00:06:22.34
and there's so much material
that sometime we don't get
00:06:22.38\00:06:25.28
to the, you know, right
to the meat of the Word.
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.08
So we're going to try to get
to the meat of the Word today.
00:06:27.12\00:06:29.42
Praise God for that.
00:06:29.45\00:06:30.79
Mass bread and the
wine, is that a real teaching
00:06:30.82\00:06:33.99
from the Word of God.
00:06:34.02\00:06:35.42
You have your
Bible, turn with me
00:06:35.46\00:06:36.79
please to 2 Thessalonians,
00:06:36.83\00:06:38.96
we're going to read
verses 9 through 12.
00:06:38.99\00:06:41.26
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
00:06:41.30\00:06:45.57
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
00:06:45.60\00:06:49.04
This is what the Bible said.
00:06:49.07\00:06:50.51
I always love that.
00:06:50.54\00:06:51.87
This is what the Bible says.
00:06:51.91\00:06:53.24
Verse 9, "Even him whose coming
is after the working of Satan
00:06:53.27\00:06:57.51
with all power,
signs and lying wonders."
00:06:57.55\00:07:00.12
So we're looking then at what?
00:07:00.15\00:07:01.58
An individual here, who's coming
00:07:01.62\00:07:04.15
and that what his
workings will be that of Satan.
00:07:04.19\00:07:06.99
I want that to be clear.
00:07:07.02\00:07:08.46
We're not just up
here trying to waste time,
00:07:08.49\00:07:10.43
but we're trying
to expose the enemy.
00:07:10.46\00:07:12.43
He is working,
this man who is coming.
00:07:12.46\00:07:14.53
You notice it, is going
to be using power, signs,
00:07:14.56\00:07:17.77
and certainly says wonders here.
00:07:17.80\00:07:19.77
"And with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness."
00:07:19.80\00:07:22.24
So this person
we're going to identify
00:07:22.27\00:07:25.04
as we go along
in our study here,
00:07:25.07\00:07:27.08
everything he does seems
to be unrighteous rather than
00:07:27.11\00:07:29.84
righteous and
noticed in them that perish.
00:07:29.88\00:07:33.28
So it has to do with
those who follow after this,
00:07:33.31\00:07:35.78
this power, working of Satan,
00:07:35.82\00:07:38.25
unrighteousness
and those that perish.
00:07:38.29\00:07:41.39
So notice this, when
we talk about parish here.
00:07:41.42\00:07:43.79
We don't want to be
in that group, do we?
00:07:43.83\00:07:46.19
Now, remember they
have a group that parishes,
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.63
because here's one reason.
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.37
The Bible says
because they receive what?
00:07:50.40\00:07:52.77
Good.
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.14
"They received not
the love of the truth,"
00:07:54.17\00:07:55.50
notice this, "received
not the love of the truth
00:07:55.54\00:07:57.61
that they might be saved."
00:07:57.64\00:07:58.97
So again with
correlation, again what?
00:07:59.01\00:08:00.61
Being saved and
knowing what truth is,
00:08:00.64\00:08:02.58
is so very important, is it not?
00:08:02.61\00:08:04.41
Verse 11,
00:08:04.45\00:08:05.78
"For this cause God shall
send them strong delusions."
00:08:05.81\00:08:08.98
Notice if you say, oh,
God is at fault, God sinned.
00:08:09.02\00:08:11.35
God will allow things
to happen because what?
00:08:11.39\00:08:15.52
Because they didn't
want to receive the truth.
00:08:15.56\00:08:17.83
And so He just allows
it to go ahead and play out
00:08:17.86\00:08:20.70
and notice that,
when it said delusions,
00:08:20.73\00:08:23.30
it has to do with deceit.
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.07
Delusions has to do with error.
00:08:25.10\00:08:27.40
There's going to
be error out there.
00:08:27.44\00:08:29.17
It's going to be an
imposter who misleads.
00:08:29.20\00:08:33.04
And so we need to
know who that is, don't we?
00:08:33.07\00:08:34.68
Because we want to
follow Jesus Christ.
00:08:34.71\00:08:36.78
Powerful passage of scripture.
00:08:36.81\00:08:38.25
We read them often
00:08:38.28\00:08:39.61
and I want you to read them too,
00:08:39.65\00:08:40.98
and really do
some study on that.
00:08:41.02\00:08:42.38
Again, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12,
00:08:42.42\00:08:45.69
I'm going to read
something from Review and Herald
00:08:45.72\00:08:47.29
because I believe, first of all,
00:08:47.32\00:08:48.66
you have to lay a foundation.
00:08:48.69\00:08:50.03
We did that in part one
and allow the history of it.
00:08:50.06\00:08:52.43
But we'll just touch
a little bit as we go
00:08:52.46\00:08:54.30
and then get in little bit more
to specifics about the mass.
00:08:54.33\00:08:57.80
But notice with me in
Review and Herald, 7-26-1898.
00:08:57.83\00:09:03.47
Please notice this.
00:09:03.51\00:09:04.87
Review and Herald,
7-26-1898 says this,
00:09:04.91\00:09:08.81
"The time has come,
00:09:08.84\00:09:10.55
notice, when the
truth is to be proclaimed
00:09:10.58\00:09:13.38
against falsehood and error.
00:09:13.42\00:09:15.85
Now we read that often,
but it's very, very important.
00:09:15.88\00:09:17.85
The time has come what?
00:09:17.89\00:09:19.32
When truth is to be proclaimed
against falsehood and error.
00:09:19.35\00:09:23.16
So if we detect
falsehood, we detect error
00:09:23.19\00:09:27.00
that is deceiving God's people.
00:09:27.03\00:09:28.80
It caused them to perish.
00:09:28.83\00:09:30.33
It's going to cause them to say,
00:09:30.37\00:09:31.70
heaven's not
going to be their home.
00:09:31.73\00:09:33.07
Then it has to be unmasked.
00:09:33.10\00:09:35.07
It has to be revealed.
00:09:35.10\00:09:36.84
So we believe that we're
doing what God has asked us
00:09:36.87\00:09:39.21
to do here.
00:09:39.24\00:09:40.58
Another article
in Review and Herald,
00:09:40.61\00:09:42.24
3-9-86 says this, 3-9-86.
00:09:42.28\00:09:46.85
There is one that
we're talking about here
00:09:46.88\00:09:49.25
pointed out in
prophesy as the what?
00:09:49.28\00:09:52.52
Good, the man of sin.
00:09:52.55\00:09:54.49
He is a representative of Satan.
00:09:54.52\00:09:57.69
Oh, it's not pleasing.
00:09:57.73\00:09:59.43
I understand to be able to,
you know, to say these things,
00:09:59.46\00:10:01.73
because you say, oh, we
don't want to hear that.
00:10:01.76\00:10:04.33
But remember we
believe in the Bible,
00:10:04.37\00:10:06.37
we believe in the
Spirit of Prophecy,
00:10:06.40\00:10:07.94
we believe what was being said.
00:10:07.97\00:10:10.04
And the Bible certainly
identifies this man of sin.
00:10:10.07\00:10:13.17
But notice, the
enemy is doing what?
00:10:13.21\00:10:15.28
He's working him over here.
00:10:15.31\00:10:17.08
After the
workings of, we read what?
00:10:17.11\00:10:18.98
Of Satan.
00:10:19.01\00:10:20.35
Manuscript, 126, 1901.
00:10:20.38\00:10:23.22
Notice this, all through,
notice this, all through.
00:10:23.25\00:10:25.92
"Although those standing
at the head of the papacy
00:10:25.95\00:10:28.29
claimed to have
great love for God,
00:10:28.32\00:10:30.09
He looks upon
them as haters of Him."
00:10:30.13\00:10:32.99
See it doesn't bring any
pleasure to talk like this,
00:10:33.03\00:10:36.67
but we're reading
what has been left for us
00:10:36.70\00:10:38.50
to be able to give to the world,
00:10:38.53\00:10:40.00
because
multitudes have been what?
00:10:40.04\00:10:41.90
Deceived.
00:10:41.94\00:10:43.27
Multitudes will stay
right where they're at drinking
00:10:43.30\00:10:45.47
of that cup, that
false doctrine and wine,
00:10:45.51\00:10:47.78
getting more drunk as days go by
00:10:47.81\00:10:50.05
and they're going to be lost
unless you love them enough,
00:10:50.08\00:10:53.01
unless I love
them enough, you see,
00:10:53.05\00:10:55.48
to be able to bring
home the truth of God's Word.
00:10:55.52\00:10:58.32
Notice this.
00:10:58.35\00:10:59.69
They have turned the
truth of God into a lie.
00:10:59.72\00:11:03.59
Have you ever read
that in Scripture? Sure.
00:11:03.63\00:11:05.96
Romans 1:25, "They've turned
the truth of God into a lie."
00:11:05.99\00:11:10.47
So what should we do?
00:11:10.50\00:11:11.83
Remain silent, say
nothing, do nothing
00:11:11.87\00:11:13.90
when we see the
truth has been maligned.
00:11:13.94\00:11:15.77
We've seen the truth
has been turned into a lie.
00:11:15.80\00:11:18.07
And most generally
where we're at right now
00:11:18.11\00:11:20.18
in the history of this
world is because you and I,
00:11:20.21\00:11:22.34
we have kept silent
instead of standing up and say,
00:11:22.38\00:11:25.21
look, this is a
truth right here.
00:11:25.25\00:11:26.58
And now all of a sudden
00:11:26.61\00:11:27.95
there's a lie that's being told.
00:11:27.98\00:11:29.45
We need to stand
up for what is truth.
00:11:29.48\00:11:31.35
God requires that
of us as His people.
00:11:31.39\00:11:34.36
Notice this, this man
of sin has been tampering
00:11:34.39\00:11:37.03
with the commandments of God.
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.76
You notice what he's been doing.
00:11:39.79\00:11:41.13
He's been placing
them and replacing them
00:11:41.16\00:11:44.07
with the traditions of what?
00:11:44.10\00:11:45.87
Of man, man's
ideas, man's thoughts.
00:11:45.90\00:11:49.60
And notice this,
who's doing that?
00:11:49.64\00:11:51.21
Satan is doing that work
and he's going to completely,
00:11:51.24\00:11:54.74
the article says, divorce
religious world from God.
00:11:54.78\00:11:59.58
Satan is doing
his best to do what?
00:11:59.61\00:12:01.25
Separate, separate God's people.
00:12:01.28\00:12:05.52
Separating God's
people going to be over here.
00:12:05.55\00:12:07.52
The enemy is going to have
his people on the other side.
00:12:07.56\00:12:10.49
Notice, right?
00:12:10.53\00:12:11.86
He's now as
Isaiah 14 talks about,
00:12:11.89\00:12:14.20
he's now trying to sit
00:12:14.23\00:12:15.90
in the very seat
and throne room of God.
00:12:15.93\00:12:18.37
He's trying to show
himself to be God right now,
00:12:18.40\00:12:21.90
his identifying mark.
00:12:21.94\00:12:23.27
He's claiming
to be God on earth.
00:12:23.30\00:12:25.34
That should help you figure out
who we're talking about here.
00:12:25.37\00:12:27.84
There's no doubt about it,
because he's changing what?
00:12:27.88\00:12:31.21
The truth into a lie.
00:12:31.25\00:12:33.05
Interesting what
the Bible has to say,
00:12:33.08\00:12:35.28
just a couple
of passage quickly.
00:12:35.32\00:12:36.69
Revelation 21:27.
00:12:36.72\00:12:39.02
It says, "No wise will anything
enter in that defiles," what?
00:12:39.05\00:12:43.69
Talking about
heaven "or maketh a lie."
00:12:43.73\00:12:46.46
Now we should care
00:12:46.49\00:12:47.83
if somebody is
making lie of something.
00:12:47.86\00:12:49.53
Maybe they don't know,
00:12:49.56\00:12:50.90
maybe they were
deceived themselves.
00:12:50.93\00:12:52.27
They still should know
because nothing is going
00:12:52.30\00:12:54.07
to enter in the
kingdom that maketh a lie.
00:12:54.10\00:12:56.50
Did you get that?
00:12:56.54\00:12:57.87
James 3:14, The
Bible says, notice this,
00:12:57.91\00:13:00.61
"Lie not against the truth."
00:13:00.64\00:13:04.41
Lie not against what?
00:13:04.45\00:13:05.98
Against the truth.
00:13:06.01\00:13:07.55
1 John 2:21.
00:13:07.58\00:13:08.98
The Bible says,
no, oh, this is good.
00:13:09.02\00:13:11.65
"No lie is the truth."
00:13:11.69\00:13:13.46
Does that make sense?
Read the whole passage.
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.36
It says, "No lie is the truth."
00:13:15.39\00:13:17.69
And again, one
more, Revelation 22:15.
00:13:17.73\00:13:22.63
It says, "For without," talking
about the city of God, right?
00:13:22.66\00:13:25.53
The New Jerusalem.
00:13:25.57\00:13:26.90
"There's going to be no one
that loveth or maketh a lie."
00:13:26.94\00:13:31.34
No one's going to be
there that loves or makes a lie.
00:13:31.37\00:13:34.58
So if we're looking at
them that this is not the truth,
00:13:34.61\00:13:37.21
then we need to make
sure we sound that out.
00:13:37.25\00:13:40.05
Remember, Satan does what?
00:13:40.08\00:13:41.48
He attacks error,
attaches error to the what?
00:13:41.52\00:13:45.82
To the truth.
00:13:45.85\00:13:47.19
Evangelism, page 589.
00:13:47.22\00:13:49.92
Satan makes
error appear as what?
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.86
As truth.
00:13:52.89\00:13:54.23
Great controversy, 10.
00:13:54.26\00:13:55.86
Satan does what?
00:13:55.90\00:13:57.23
He makes error
appear as the truth.
00:13:57.27\00:13:59.87
And again, oh, I hear people,
"Oh, they're just so sincere
00:13:59.90\00:14:02.77
and they're so
sincere Christians
00:14:02.80\00:14:04.21
in their so sins.
00:14:04.24\00:14:05.67
You know, we can
be sincerely what?
00:14:05.71\00:14:07.11
Sincerely wrong.
00:14:07.14\00:14:08.48
We can get on a
road and say, sincerely,
00:14:08.51\00:14:10.18
I'm going to Johnson
City, and we head north.
00:14:10.21\00:14:12.65
You're not going
to get to Johnson City
00:14:12.68\00:14:14.55
from where we are
right now by going,
00:14:14.58\00:14:16.28
you know, going north.
00:14:16.32\00:14:18.15
We'll go to
Benton. So it's different.
00:14:18.19\00:14:20.62
I don't care how
sincere that you are.
00:14:20.66\00:14:22.69
Sincerity will not save
you from believing an error.
00:14:22.72\00:14:27.16
We need to know what
scripture teaches on that.
00:14:27.20\00:14:29.90
And then we know that
truth has to be placed
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.93
in contrast to bold assertions.
00:14:32.97\00:14:37.17
I mean, someone's
coming up boldly and say,
00:14:37.21\00:14:38.71
"Well, this is the truth."
00:14:38.74\00:14:40.08
And we know from
scripture, it's not the truth,
00:14:40.11\00:14:41.88
then we need to
tell them what is truth.
00:14:41.91\00:14:44.05
There's no doubt about it.
00:14:44.08\00:14:45.41
Five testimonies,
you read that 528.
00:14:45.45\00:14:47.82
So there is a lot
that we can study,
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.05
rather we can spend
our whole hour on that.
00:14:50.09\00:14:51.92
We will not do that.
00:14:51.95\00:14:53.29
2 Timothy Chapter 4 says this,
00:14:53.32\00:14:56.02
we're going to read
verses 2 and 4 and go
00:14:56.06\00:14:57.73
because, again we're
setting the foundation
00:14:57.76\00:14:59.39
we need to realize here.
00:14:59.43\00:15:00.76
It says, we need to be what?
00:15:00.80\00:15:02.36
We need to preach the Word.
00:15:02.40\00:15:04.23
Say, we need more
preachers rather than somebody
00:15:04.27\00:15:06.13
just get up and preach the Word.
00:15:06.17\00:15:07.50
Not just preach what's going on.
00:15:07.54\00:15:09.07
And everything's
nice and honey and sweet.
00:15:09.10\00:15:12.01
It says to be instant in season.
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.94
We need to be
talking about things
00:15:14.98\00:15:16.31
that are going on
in the world today.
00:15:16.34\00:15:18.05
And a lot of people
don't want to hear it.
00:15:18.08\00:15:20.62
The Bible said, be what?
00:15:20.65\00:15:22.42
Be instant in season,
if this is not the season
00:15:22.45\00:15:24.95
of the coming of the
Lord, season of the time,
00:15:24.99\00:15:28.42
big time of trouble,
00:15:28.46\00:15:29.79
season of the
time of Sunday laws.
00:15:29.82\00:15:32.09
My, my, my.
00:15:32.13\00:15:33.46
This is the things that we need
to be talking about right now
00:15:33.50\00:15:37.00
because it says
what we need to do is to,
00:15:37.03\00:15:39.13
notice, we need to reprove.
00:15:39.17\00:15:42.50
The Bible said, we need to
rebuke and exhort with all,
00:15:42.54\00:15:47.04
notice this, with
all arms giving and what?
00:15:47.08\00:15:52.01
And doctrine.
00:15:52.05\00:15:53.48
What do we need to do here?
00:15:53.52\00:15:54.85
I'm gonna read
scripture right here,
00:15:54.88\00:15:57.52
it's a long-suffering
and doctrine here,
00:15:57.55\00:15:59.79
so we need to have patience
00:15:59.82\00:16:01.59
and we need to move
forward by the grace of God,
00:16:01.62\00:16:04.36
but we need to do it with what?
00:16:04.39\00:16:05.73
Long-suffering, and we
need to stay with the program
00:16:05.76\00:16:08.36
because people need to
hear it, mass bread, wine.
00:16:08.40\00:16:11.97
People are going to turn
away their ears from the truth.
00:16:12.00\00:16:15.10
We know that and to
be turned into fables.
00:16:15.14\00:16:17.81
And every time I hear a truth,
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.17
at least the best
I can understand it,
00:16:19.21\00:16:20.54
turned into a fable.
00:16:20.58\00:16:21.91
I want to turn it back
to the truth, don't you?
00:16:21.94\00:16:23.51
I want to turn it back to Jesus.
00:16:23.55\00:16:25.58
Mass was a daily celebration,
00:16:25.61\00:16:27.98
actually had its
beginning in 394 AD.
00:16:28.02\00:16:31.09
Just jot it down, and you
can go back and study yourself,
00:16:31.12\00:16:33.12
394 AD.
00:16:33.15\00:16:34.49
But it wasn't until like 1050
00:16:34.52\00:16:37.29
that it became
the sacrifice of mass.
00:16:37.33\00:16:40.46
That's been quite
a while, isn't it?
00:16:40.50\00:16:42.76
This plus dozens and
dozens and dozens, you can go on
00:16:42.80\00:16:46.67
of a tradition has
found its way into the church.
00:16:46.70\00:16:50.71
Now, is the Bible
the most important thing
00:16:50.74\00:16:52.84
or is it traditions as
the most important thing?
00:16:52.87\00:16:54.84
We'll find out.
00:16:54.88\00:16:56.81
We realized the
Catholic Church apostatize
00:16:56.85\00:16:58.95
as it were, as it came.
00:16:58.98\00:17:00.32
They had the New
Testament church.
00:17:00.35\00:17:01.68
And all of a sudden
they'd been hearing things
00:17:01.72\00:17:03.22
and teaching
things and they, well,
00:17:03.25\00:17:04.59
we don't want the
truth of Jesus anymore.
00:17:04.62\00:17:06.45
So we're going to go over here.
00:17:06.49\00:17:07.82
And then we're
going to, all of a sudden,
00:17:07.86\00:17:09.82
the enemy starts
bringing in lies.
00:17:09.86\00:17:12.43
This is William D.
Killen who said this.
00:17:12.46\00:17:16.00
He wrote a book
called Ancient Church.
00:17:16.03\00:17:17.63
Notice this, page 16.
00:17:17.67\00:17:19.27
This is quite a comment.
00:17:19.30\00:17:21.27
Notice what he says?
00:17:21.30\00:17:22.80
Rites and ceremonies,
of which neither Paul
00:17:22.84\00:17:25.97
nor Peter ever heard
crept silently into what?
00:17:26.01\00:17:30.28
Into use.
00:17:30.31\00:17:31.65
They claim the rank
of divine institution
00:17:31.68\00:17:33.92
and began to challenge what?
00:17:33.95\00:17:35.98
Challenge attention,
and to be named apostolic.
00:17:36.02\00:17:40.56
What crept into the
church, the pure church of God?
00:17:40.59\00:17:43.19
Oh, rites and ceremonies,
00:17:43.22\00:17:44.89
Paul and Peter
didn't recognize it,
00:17:44.93\00:17:46.73
but began to
come into the church.
00:17:46.76\00:17:49.06
And so we see them
coming to the church today,
00:17:49.10\00:17:50.47
we make sure to open the door
00:17:50.50\00:17:51.83
and throw them back
out where they belong.
00:17:51.87\00:17:53.97
Remember, you will not
find the word mass in Scripture.
00:17:54.00\00:17:57.67
You just won't find it.
00:17:57.71\00:17:59.07
You can look all you want.
00:17:59.11\00:18:00.44
You won't find the
word mass in the Bible,
00:18:00.48\00:18:02.51
but Catholic theologians teach
something it's very interesting
00:18:02.54\00:18:06.51
that if a person fails
to attend mass, if they...
00:18:06.55\00:18:10.79
You know, and I
see it on the sign,
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.15
we pass every day
going by some churches
00:18:12.19\00:18:13.99
and to say mass and
the da-da-da, you know.
00:18:14.02\00:18:16.39
If you fail to attend it,
00:18:16.42\00:18:17.86
they say you commit a mortal sin
00:18:17.89\00:18:21.80
or a, they call
it a cardinal sin.
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.50
That's pretty heavy-duty.
00:18:24.53\00:18:26.10
That's really they call
it, that's a grievous sin.
00:18:26.13\00:18:30.01
And then as a person
can be ex-communicated,
00:18:30.04\00:18:33.78
you know, they are
shut out of the church
00:18:33.81\00:18:36.75
if you don't attend mass.
00:18:36.78\00:18:38.41
So they're kind of
really making it mandatory
00:18:38.45\00:18:40.78
and threatening.
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.38
If you don't attend it, oh my,
00:18:42.42\00:18:43.75
you're going to
be ex-communicated.
00:18:43.79\00:18:45.65
Most of the speaking connected
00:18:45.69\00:18:47.92
with a ceremony of
we call them a mass.
00:18:47.96\00:18:50.33
We call it communion
in the Protestant world.
00:18:50.36\00:18:53.83
But most of those,
they come into the people
00:18:53.86\00:18:55.46
and they speak as
you well know in what?
00:18:55.50\00:18:58.70
In Latin, how sad, because why,
00:18:58.73\00:19:02.24
because very few that
understand what's going on.
00:19:02.27\00:19:05.04
Maybe somebody got up in
here and they begin to preach
00:19:05.07\00:19:08.14
and teach in a
different language.
00:19:08.18\00:19:10.25
How would you be blessed?
00:19:10.28\00:19:11.75
You know, 1 Corinthians 14 talks
00:19:11.78\00:19:13.28
a lot about that
in the unknown tongue.
00:19:13.31\00:19:15.62
And there's one
verse that I think
00:19:15.65\00:19:16.99
we can apply here quickly.
00:19:17.02\00:19:18.35
1 Corinthians 14:9,
it says, "So likewise ye,
00:19:18.39\00:19:22.19
except ye utter by
the tongue," notice this,
00:19:22.22\00:19:25.03
"words easily to be understood,"
00:19:25.06\00:19:27.93
that means with
some significance here,
00:19:27.96\00:19:30.17
"how shall it be
known what is spoken?
00:19:30.20\00:19:33.57
For ye shall
speak into the air."
00:19:33.60\00:19:37.67
To me, isn't that interesting?
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.57
It's like, so they get up there
00:19:39.61\00:19:40.94
and they speak
in another language.
00:19:40.98\00:19:42.34
Most, everybody there has
no idea of what they're saying.
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.65
It's almost like
00:19:44.68\00:19:46.01
you're just speaking in the air.
00:19:46.05\00:19:47.48
Is that really the
way that it's conducted
00:19:47.52\00:19:49.18
in the Word of God?
00:19:49.22\00:19:50.62
I think not.
00:19:50.65\00:19:51.99
You remember, we've
said this and this is true.
00:19:52.02\00:19:55.62
Mass is a counterfeit.
00:19:55.66\00:19:57.79
Mass is a counterfeit
for the Lord's supper,
00:19:57.83\00:20:00.26
for communion.
00:20:00.30\00:20:01.63
So remember, for
every truth God has,
00:20:01.66\00:20:03.16
the devil has what?
00:20:03.20\00:20:04.80
He has a counterfeit.
00:20:04.83\00:20:06.20
So this is no
exception to the rule.
00:20:06.23\00:20:08.67
So it's either
following God's plan
00:20:08.70\00:20:10.21
or following the enemy's plan.
00:20:10.24\00:20:11.84
You're going to have to decide.
00:20:11.87\00:20:13.31
Have you been drinking too long
with that cup, the wrong cup?
00:20:13.34\00:20:17.55
Today's a day you will find out
00:20:17.58\00:20:18.91
and maybe you
will make a decision
00:20:18.95\00:20:20.85
based upon
scripture in the Word of God.
00:20:20.88\00:20:24.25
So we see that if you read
00:20:24.29\00:20:27.26
Matthew 26:17-30,
00:20:27.29\00:20:30.83
it makes it very clear
00:20:30.86\00:20:32.19
how Jesus
addressed the disciples.
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.36
And He talked to them
very clear and very plain.
00:20:34.40\00:20:38.80
So they knew exactly
what He was talking about.
00:20:38.83\00:20:41.70
And then we find
there's a single example.
00:20:41.74\00:20:43.87
We talk about the, anyone...
00:20:43.91\00:20:46.78
If you look in
scripture and you begin to look
00:20:46.81\00:20:48.61
from one end to the other,
00:20:48.64\00:20:49.98
there's not a
single incident of anyone
00:20:50.01\00:20:52.55
conducting the
service called mass,
00:20:52.58\00:20:56.02
let alone the word, no one did.
00:20:56.05\00:20:58.35
Why?
00:20:58.39\00:20:59.72
Because the
ceremony was based on
00:20:59.75\00:21:01.49
human man-made tradition.
00:21:01.52\00:21:03.39
Why?
00:21:03.43\00:21:04.76
Because it was
unknown to Bible writers,
00:21:04.79\00:21:07.40
both in the Old Testament
and in the New Testament.
00:21:07.43\00:21:12.73
The way it's conducted,
00:21:12.77\00:21:15.94
the way it's conducted
in the Catholic Church,
00:21:15.97\00:21:18.47
there's not one I order
that I can find of Bible truth
00:21:18.51\00:21:22.38
or scripture in it.
00:21:22.41\00:21:24.31
That concerns me. How about you?
00:21:24.35\00:21:26.88
Well, it should concern you.
00:21:26.92\00:21:28.25
Great Controversy, page 59.
00:21:28.28\00:21:29.62
Notice what the
scripture says here?
00:21:29.65\00:21:31.22
It says, "The Scriptural
ordinance of the Lord's Supper
00:21:31.25\00:21:34.06
has been supplanted by
the idolatrous sacrifice of."
00:21:34.09\00:21:38.79
What? "Of mass."
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.90
But we either
believe that or we do not.
00:21:40.93\00:21:42.83
It either follows what
Jesus has said in the Word
00:21:42.86\00:21:45.43
that you're
conducting communion service,
00:21:45.47\00:21:47.57
or we're going to conduct mass
00:21:47.60\00:21:48.94
the way the Catholic
Church says to do it,
00:21:48.97\00:21:50.71
which has left Jesus out
and the teachings of Jesus out.
00:21:50.74\00:21:53.81
So can it really be any good?
00:21:53.84\00:21:55.18
Does heaven really accept that?
00:21:55.21\00:21:56.64
That's our concern
today, not just right and wrong.
00:21:56.68\00:22:00.52
There's a truth here at stake.
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.82
Great Controversy,
again, page 58 says once again,
00:22:03.85\00:22:06.89
how did all these
false teachings originate?
00:22:06.92\00:22:09.76
How did Rome
spread all of these things
00:22:09.79\00:22:11.59
in every church even in our day?
00:22:11.63\00:22:13.36
We saw it, certainly
00:22:13.40\00:22:14.73
we've studied it
in the first part.
00:22:14.76\00:22:16.10
We understand
that through history
00:22:16.13\00:22:18.23
that we can find out exactly
00:22:18.27\00:22:20.30
what has taken place and
where it's at even today,
00:22:20.34\00:22:23.17
millions believing a lie.
00:22:23.20\00:22:26.01
They say, "Oh,
well, we've been taught
00:22:26.04\00:22:27.38
that this is a truth.
00:22:27.41\00:22:28.74
We thought it was the truth."
00:22:28.78\00:22:30.65
But notice this, how it came in.
00:22:30.68\00:22:32.11
Great Controversy,
58 again says this.
00:22:32.15\00:22:34.92
"The advancing
centuries witnessed a constant,
00:22:34.95\00:22:38.92
an increase of
error in the doctrines
00:22:38.95\00:22:41.22
put forth by Rome."
00:22:41.26\00:22:43.36
Notice this, even
before, did we get it?
00:22:43.39\00:22:46.29
"Even before the
establishment of the papacy."
00:22:46.33\00:22:50.77
Just very important.
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.13
People have asked me
over the years as well.
00:22:52.17\00:22:53.50
How did all this stuff?
How does all this stuff?
00:22:53.54\00:22:54.94
How did they all come in?
00:22:54.97\00:22:56.30
Surely they're
just not making it up.
00:22:56.34\00:22:57.67
Surely they're
not just turning over.
00:22:57.71\00:22:59.04
This is what we want to do.
00:22:59.07\00:23:00.41
Well really.
00:23:00.44\00:23:02.21
Before the
establishment of the papacy,
00:23:02.24\00:23:04.51
Great Controversy, 58 says,
00:23:04.55\00:23:06.45
that teaching of
heathen philosophers
00:23:06.48\00:23:08.98
had received attention
00:23:09.02\00:23:11.15
and they exerted an
influence in the church.
00:23:11.19\00:23:15.82
Many who professed
conversion that were coming in.
00:23:15.86\00:23:18.49
You remember under
Constantine and what?
00:23:18.53\00:23:20.20
Constantine job
was to bring in the,
00:23:20.23\00:23:21.83
you know, trying
to get the heathen
00:23:21.86\00:23:23.20
and the Christians
all joined together.
00:23:23.23\00:23:24.60
Anytime you try to
get the unconverted
00:23:24.63\00:23:26.43
and the converted,
unless there's a chain,
00:23:26.47\00:23:28.07
unless the
converted stands strong
00:23:28.10\00:23:30.31
that the unconverted
will take the strong,
00:23:30.34\00:23:32.44
you know, the other
ones down the truth.
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.84
Those are standing for truth.
00:23:34.88\00:23:36.21
They'll take them down unless
you're strong in the Lord.
00:23:36.24\00:23:39.28
And so we find that
all of a sudden things
00:23:39.31\00:23:40.98
were not going as planned.
00:23:41.02\00:23:43.52
And so what?
00:23:43.55\00:23:44.89
People say, "Well,
this is not what we believe,
00:23:44.92\00:23:46.25
but they continued,
the pagans and the heathen
00:23:46.29\00:23:48.72
that came into
the church continued
00:23:48.76\00:23:50.96
to study these
things and to try to...
00:23:50.99\00:23:53.19
I want to call it,
urging them upon other people.
00:23:53.23\00:23:57.10
Have you ever
found that to be true?
00:23:57.13\00:23:59.90
Have you really ever
found that to be true?
00:23:59.93\00:24:01.70
So some time comes,
people comes up and says,
00:24:01.74\00:24:03.54
oh this is new light.
00:24:03.57\00:24:04.91
I've got some new
light on this issue
00:24:04.94\00:24:07.04
and they present it
and begin to present it.
00:24:07.08\00:24:08.58
But you detect
already that's not in harmony
00:24:08.61\00:24:11.31
with the Word of
God, but you know what?
00:24:11.35\00:24:13.08
You can't hush him up.
00:24:13.11\00:24:15.05
They just want to
continue to push this thing
00:24:15.08\00:24:16.52
and push this thing
00:24:16.55\00:24:17.89
because they
think that it is right.
00:24:17.92\00:24:19.62
You sense that it's not based on
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.32
the Word of God.
00:24:21.36\00:24:23.09
They always will do that.
00:24:23.12\00:24:24.46
They will urge it on those
and that extended their what?
00:24:24.49\00:24:28.46
Their influence
among the heathen.
00:24:28.50\00:24:32.33
Serious errors were introduced
into the Christian faith
00:24:32.37\00:24:37.11
by the Roman Church.
00:24:37.14\00:24:38.81
Give you a few examples.
00:24:38.84\00:24:40.18
And I think it's
imperative that we do.
00:24:40.21\00:24:43.31
I think it's
absolutely imperative
00:24:43.35\00:24:45.35
because I'll explain it to you.
00:24:45.38\00:24:47.28
What came in through paganism,
00:24:47.32\00:24:49.78
heathenism was
immortality of the soul.
00:24:49.82\00:24:53.46
Man, almost all the churches
around the world today believe
00:24:53.49\00:24:56.52
that, well, when you
die, you really don't die.
00:24:56.56\00:24:59.13
There's something lives on.
00:24:59.16\00:25:00.96
If you believe that
today, you are believing...
00:25:01.00\00:25:04.17
I just have to say it.
00:25:04.20\00:25:05.53
You're believing a Catholic lie
that was taken from heathenism
00:25:05.57\00:25:09.40
and paganism.
00:25:09.44\00:25:10.97
That's what you're believing.
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.34
You follow it. You
look it up in history.
00:25:12.37\00:25:13.84
You will find out
that's where they got it.
00:25:13.88\00:25:16.64
And now they're spreading that
00:25:16.68\00:25:18.15
immortality of the soul, huh.
00:25:18.18\00:25:21.05
But see here's the point.
00:25:21.08\00:25:22.42
It never just quits at one point
00:25:22.45\00:25:25.79
to be able to get the
entering wedge in there,
00:25:25.82\00:25:28.32
according to the old enemy,
00:25:28.36\00:25:29.72
he says, I've got this here.
00:25:29.76\00:25:31.09
I'm not going to stop.
00:25:31.13\00:25:33.13
Huh.
00:25:33.16\00:25:35.76
A lie that came from
paganism laid the foundation
00:25:35.80\00:25:40.64
for the invocation of saints.
00:25:40.67\00:25:43.14
Most of them say,
00:25:43.17\00:25:44.51
"Oh, invocation of
saints, no big deal."
00:25:44.54\00:25:45.87
Really?
00:25:45.91\00:25:47.24
The church is talking
about, the Roman Church
00:25:47.28\00:25:48.61
is simply saying,
00:25:48.64\00:25:49.98
when we have
problems down here on earth,
00:25:50.01\00:25:51.35
what we do?
00:25:51.38\00:25:52.71
We petitioned the saints.
00:25:52.75\00:25:54.08
Listen, church, the
saints are already in heaven.
00:25:54.12\00:25:57.05
Those who are in heaven,
those who have maybe died
00:25:57.09\00:25:59.19
and they say
already went to heaven
00:25:59.22\00:26:00.56
because they have such power.
00:26:00.59\00:26:02.46
So we want them
to intercede for us.
00:26:02.49\00:26:05.19
Something's not scriptural here,
00:26:05.23\00:26:07.06
but you notice,
00:26:07.10\00:26:08.43
one unscriptural truth leads
to another unscriptural truth.
00:26:08.46\00:26:12.53
The adoration of
naturally the Virgin Mary, huh,
00:26:12.57\00:26:17.07
came from the heresies.
00:26:17.11\00:26:19.07
And then all of a
sudden from that came eternal
00:26:19.11\00:26:22.24
hellfire, eternal fire.
00:26:22.28\00:26:24.21
Wow. Torment,
burning forever and ever.
00:26:24.25\00:26:26.82
If you, as a
Christian say, I believe
00:26:26.85\00:26:28.85
that you're going to
burn forever and ever,
00:26:28.88\00:26:30.45
please I beg you to study
the Word of God to find out
00:26:30.49\00:26:33.39
because that came directly
from the Roman Catholic Church
00:26:33.42\00:26:36.99
who got it
directly from paganism.
00:26:37.03\00:26:40.16
That's where you got it.
00:26:40.20\00:26:41.66
If someone said that to
me, I'd checking it out to say,
00:26:41.70\00:26:44.10
man, I'm not going
to follow no pagans.
00:26:44.13\00:26:46.80
Huh.
00:26:46.84\00:26:48.50
And then what happened?
00:26:48.54\00:26:50.04
Another invention of
paganism still there,
00:26:50.07\00:26:52.84
was indulgence as we go on
00:26:52.87\00:26:54.44
and then number
seven in there, mass.
00:26:54.48\00:26:57.08
Hmm.
00:26:57.11\00:26:58.45
It's mass is blasphemy.
00:26:58.48\00:27:01.02
I call it in the
first degree, even though
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.12
people don't want
to think about it.
00:27:03.15\00:27:06.05
Notice when they
celebrate the mass,
00:27:06.09\00:27:09.42
they, notice
this, they claim the...
00:27:09.46\00:27:11.76
Listen this, this
is almost unbelievable.
00:27:11.79\00:27:13.73
They claimed the
power to create God.
00:27:13.76\00:27:17.90
Oh, somebody's not listening.
00:27:17.93\00:27:20.17
They claimed the
power to create God.
00:27:20.20\00:27:23.04
Surely, can I
say surely the Pete?
00:27:23.07\00:27:25.77
Surely if someone
says, when we do mass
00:27:25.81\00:27:29.34
or we do communion or
whatever it's a wafer,
00:27:29.38\00:27:31.11
we're drinking, whatever it is,
00:27:31.15\00:27:32.48
we are creating God.
00:27:32.51\00:27:34.45
That's blasphemy.
00:27:34.48\00:27:36.89
There's no way you
can create God, is it not?
00:27:36.92\00:27:39.35
He's the creator of all things.
00:27:39.39\00:27:42.96
People were
required to take part
00:27:42.99\00:27:45.39
or they would die
certainly many years ago,
00:27:45.43\00:27:49.96
they gave him
right to the flames.
00:27:50.00\00:27:52.20
Notice this,
according to Cardinal Wiseman,
00:27:52.23\00:27:54.70
he says the priest, listen,
Cardinal Wiseman said this,
00:27:54.74\00:27:57.64
"Priest could convert
the simple bread and wine
00:27:57.67\00:28:01.34
into the actual body
and blood of Christ."
00:28:01.38\00:28:06.95
You see some
blasphemy, you see it.
00:28:06.98\00:28:09.15
I see something
dreadfully wrong right here.
00:28:09.18\00:28:11.65
And many people, I'm
talking about, listen,
00:28:11.69\00:28:13.62
not just
millions, billions possibly.
00:28:13.66\00:28:16.83
Catholic faith
goes into the billions.
00:28:16.86\00:28:21.23
And most maybe believe this.
00:28:21.26\00:28:22.76
And you might talk
to some, well, we don't,
00:28:22.80\00:28:24.17
we don't really believe that.
00:28:24.20\00:28:25.53
This is what the church teaches.
00:28:25.57\00:28:27.84
And again, that came
from Cardinal Wiseman,
00:28:27.87\00:28:32.21
the article, he
wrote Real Presence
00:28:32.24\00:28:34.48
and the Body and the
Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:28:34.51\00:28:37.55
lecture eight,
section three, paragraph 26.
00:28:37.58\00:28:41.65
Interesting.
00:28:41.68\00:28:43.02
So if the Roman Catholic
Church had not laid aside,
00:28:43.05\00:28:47.26
we've mentioned this before.
00:28:47.29\00:28:48.62
If the Roman Catholic
Church had not laid aside
00:28:48.66\00:28:50.89
the truth of God's
Word, which you had the,
00:28:50.93\00:28:53.13
you know, the first 100 years,
00:28:53.16\00:28:54.53
200 years of the
New Testament Church.
00:28:54.56\00:28:57.07
God's Church pure, right?
00:28:57.10\00:28:58.73
Ephesus Church, my,
but they begin to lay aside
00:28:58.77\00:29:02.10
the truths of God's Word.
00:29:02.14\00:29:04.97
They no longer wanted
the teachings of the apostle.
00:29:05.01\00:29:07.38
They no longer
wanted the doctrines
00:29:07.41\00:29:09.01
as were the prophets.
00:29:09.04\00:29:11.98
Remember, the Reformation
would have never taken place.
00:29:12.01\00:29:15.05
The only reason
we had a Reformation
00:29:15.08\00:29:17.02
or the time of the Dark Ages
00:29:17.05\00:29:18.62
or the papal rule
supremacy from 538, right?
00:29:18.65\00:29:21.99
To 1798, 1260 years of
what we call the Dark Ages
00:29:22.02\00:29:26.13
that you learned in school.
00:29:26.16\00:29:27.50
Study, study to
show yourself approved.
00:29:27.53\00:29:30.13
There would never
have been a Reformation,
00:29:30.17\00:29:31.60
but because we went so far away,
00:29:31.63\00:29:34.57
and the Roman Church
subdued the truth of God's Word,
00:29:34.60\00:29:37.61
God allowed a
reformation to take place,
00:29:37.64\00:29:39.67
which we need in
our church today.
00:29:39.71\00:29:42.38
I believe with all
my, we need a reformation.
00:29:42.41\00:29:44.11
We need some real
changes to take place.
00:29:44.15\00:29:48.38
Papal tradition and
Bible truth collided.
00:29:48.42\00:29:53.96
I mean, they collided.
00:29:53.99\00:29:56.32
There was a head-on crash.
00:29:56.36\00:30:00.10
You say, what do you
mean about tradition in Bible?
00:30:00.13\00:30:04.67
We have to remember
this, that the papal tradition
00:30:04.70\00:30:07.07
was set above Scripture.
00:30:07.10\00:30:09.77
What?
00:30:09.80\00:30:11.14
Tradition set above Scripture?
00:30:11.17\00:30:12.84
Let me give you a quick
two quick examples here.
00:30:12.87\00:30:15.71
In a book
called Catholic Belief,
00:30:15.74\00:30:17.95
1884 edition, page 45
by Joseph F. Di Bruno.
00:30:17.98\00:30:23.72
Notice, he says this.
00:30:23.75\00:30:25.69
He says "Like two sacred
rivers flowing from paradise,
00:30:25.72\00:30:30.49
the body, and divine tradition,"
00:30:30.53\00:30:33.46
notice this,
"came the Word of God.
00:30:33.50\00:30:36.46
Hmm.
00:30:36.50\00:30:37.83
Precious gems
have revealed truth.
00:30:37.87\00:30:41.57
But of the two
tradition is to us,
00:30:41.60\00:30:46.21
the more clear and safe."
00:30:46.24\00:30:49.08
This is the position of
the Roman Catholic Church.
00:30:49.11\00:30:51.78
This is just many, many
examples that could be given.
00:30:51.81\00:30:55.15
But notice there, above all.
00:30:55.18\00:30:56.69
We're going to
take tradition. Why?
00:30:56.72\00:30:58.55
Because no longer
can they match it up
00:30:58.59\00:31:00.49
with the Word of God.
00:31:00.52\00:31:02.66
No longer can they do it.
00:31:02.69\00:31:04.03
They have not one foot to
step, step on and say, "Oh,
00:31:04.06\00:31:06.73
here's why we do what we do."
00:31:06.76\00:31:08.16
Oh, they try to do it.
But, man, did they misquote?
00:31:08.20\00:31:11.03
Let's just be honest about it
00:31:11.07\00:31:12.43
because it didn't
come from the Word of God.
00:31:12.47\00:31:14.50
Now let's give something
00:31:14.54\00:31:15.87
also here at the
Council of Trent.
00:31:15.90\00:31:18.01
Most people have heard that
00:31:18.04\00:31:19.57
over the years
of Council of Trent
00:31:19.61\00:31:21.74
that was in
about, it was January,
00:31:21.78\00:31:24.45
January 18 in 1562,
00:31:24.48\00:31:28.48
the Archbishop
Reggio made a speech.
00:31:28.52\00:31:32.42
And here's what he
said in that speech.
00:31:32.45\00:31:34.09
Everything really
changed at this council.
00:31:34.12\00:31:36.22
I mean, man, did it change?
00:31:36.26\00:31:37.89
He said, "Tradition
stood above Scripture.
00:31:37.93\00:31:40.80
And the authority of
the church could, oh,
00:31:40.83\00:31:43.77
the authority of the
church could not be bound
00:31:43.80\00:31:46.80
to the authority of Scripture."
00:31:46.84\00:31:49.77
Did you get it?
00:31:49.80\00:31:51.31
My, the church could
not therefore be bound
00:31:51.34\00:31:54.34
to the authority of Scripture.
00:31:54.38\00:31:55.71
Lord have mercy.
00:31:55.74\00:31:57.08
We need the
Scripture to lead and to guide.
00:31:57.11\00:31:59.38
That's why we have the mess
that we have in the world today
00:31:59.41\00:32:01.58
in all the
different denominations.
00:32:01.62\00:32:03.18
Everybody decided to
go their own little way.
00:32:03.22\00:32:06.99
How can this be proven?
00:32:07.02\00:32:08.42
Can it be proven?
00:32:08.46\00:32:09.92
Well, according to JH Holtzman
in a book Canon and Tradition,
00:32:09.96\00:32:15.23
page 263 says this,
because notice this,
00:32:15.26\00:32:18.87
the church had changed...
00:32:18.90\00:32:20.50
Here's how,
listen to this careful,
00:32:20.54\00:32:22.17
"Because the church had
changed the Sabbath to Sunday,
00:32:22.20\00:32:26.57
not by the command of Christ,
but by its own authority."
00:32:26.61\00:32:31.35
This act is a mark of
her ecclesiastical authority
00:32:31.38\00:32:35.78
in religious things.
00:32:35.82\00:32:37.85
Again that comes from the office
00:32:37.89\00:32:39.35
of Cardinal Gibbons, 11-11-1895.
00:32:39.39\00:32:44.53
They're setting
all these changes
00:32:44.56\00:32:45.89
and all this
stuff that was made,
00:32:45.93\00:32:47.26
all it's pagan that begun.
00:32:47.30\00:32:48.63
They've got the authority
to do it because they said,
00:32:48.66\00:32:50.00
look, we've got the authority
00:32:50.03\00:32:51.37
because we're the
one that changed Sabbath,
00:32:51.40\00:32:52.73
the seventh day of
the week to Sunday,
00:32:52.77\00:32:54.10
the first day of the week.
00:32:54.14\00:32:55.47
Protestants are not standing up,
00:32:55.50\00:32:56.84
not fighting us.
00:32:56.87\00:32:58.21
They just let
us do it evidently.
00:32:58.24\00:32:59.57
It's been going on
now for a long time.
00:32:59.61\00:33:01.01
And most of the world
have, they have no idea,
00:33:01.04\00:33:03.31
but they're going
to church on a day
00:33:03.35\00:33:04.68
that God never
blessed, God never sanctified.
00:33:04.71\00:33:07.42
And certainly
one of the doctrines
00:33:07.45\00:33:08.88
of the reformation
00:33:08.92\00:33:10.25
that began to put up a fight.
00:33:10.29\00:33:11.62
I mean, they begin to put
up a fight and it was mass.
00:33:11.65\00:33:16.32
The reformer said,
there's something wrong
00:33:16.36\00:33:17.73
with this thing.
00:33:17.76\00:33:19.09
They begin to criticize mass.
00:33:19.13\00:33:22.43
This taken from the manual
of Christian doctrine by...
00:33:22.46\00:33:27.34
Listen, this was
taken by a Catholic
00:33:27.37\00:33:31.37
seminary professor.
00:33:31.41\00:33:33.84
A what? A Catholic seminary.
00:33:33.88\00:33:35.64
But you'd think he
knows what he's talking about.
00:33:35.68\00:33:38.28
Page 439, he says this,
the question was asked him.
00:33:38.31\00:33:42.42
Here's what he said.
00:33:42.45\00:33:44.02
They said, "Is the
mass the same sacrifice
00:33:44.05\00:33:47.06
as that of the cross?"
00:33:47.09\00:33:49.39
There's
something to think about.
00:33:49.42\00:33:51.06
Is the mass the same
sacrifice as that of the cross?
00:33:51.09\00:33:56.26
Very interesting.
00:33:56.30\00:33:57.63
Any time you seem like
you asked just a very simple
00:33:57.67\00:34:00.97
yes or no or truth.
00:34:01.00\00:34:03.10
There's always a little
00:34:03.14\00:34:04.47
but, or a little
something else they might add.
00:34:04.51\00:34:06.51
And here, you know
what the answer is?
00:34:06.54\00:34:08.41
Oh, he said, oh, the answer,
00:34:08.44\00:34:10.18
well, it's essentially the same.
00:34:10.21\00:34:13.05
You say, "What does that mean?"
00:34:13.08\00:34:15.18
He says, "It
differs only in the manner
00:34:15.22\00:34:18.62
in which is it offered."
00:34:18.65\00:34:20.82
Think about it. Why?
00:34:20.86\00:34:22.92
We're going to see
here in just a moment.
00:34:22.96\00:34:24.29
Remember, it only differs,
supposed to be the cross
00:34:24.33\00:34:26.43
and there's
supposed to be the sacrifice,
00:34:26.46\00:34:27.80
blood and the body of Jesus.
00:34:27.83\00:34:29.26
But it's a little
bit different, important.
00:34:29.30\00:34:31.77
Catholic theologians teach that
00:34:31.80\00:34:35.40
every time the priest says mass,
00:34:35.44\00:34:39.04
Jesus is sacrificed again.
00:34:39.07\00:34:41.51
I hope somebody hears this.
00:34:41.54\00:34:43.68
Every time they have mass,
00:34:43.71\00:34:46.61
Jesus is sacrificed again.
00:34:46.65\00:34:49.88
Is it biblical?
00:34:49.92\00:34:51.25
If it is in, let's do it,
if not, let's throw it out.
00:34:51.29\00:34:55.26
He's sacrificed,
He's nailed to the cross
00:34:55.29\00:34:57.29
every time they have mass.
00:34:57.33\00:35:00.23
No, it's not biblical at all.
00:35:00.26\00:35:02.86
Let's let Scripture tell
us the truth on this issue.
00:35:02.90\00:35:05.87
Don't you believe
that's the way to do it?
00:35:05.90\00:35:09.40
There's something
that Rome does not do
00:35:09.44\00:35:13.48
on this subject
is tell the truth.
00:35:13.51\00:35:15.91
We want the truth to come out.
00:35:15.94\00:35:18.31
We do believe this.
00:35:18.35\00:35:19.75
I believe that Calvary
was necessary, don't you?
00:35:19.78\00:35:22.98
Praise God for Calvary.
00:35:23.02\00:35:24.35
Praise God for the sacrifice
that Christ made in our behalf.
00:35:24.39\00:35:27.89
Thank you that He was
willing to come down here.
00:35:27.92\00:35:29.62
Thank you that He was
willing to die in my place.
00:35:29.66\00:35:32.49
Unworthy as we are,
00:35:32.53\00:35:33.90
by grace are you
saved through faith.
00:35:33.93\00:35:37.50
Calvary was
necessary to save mankind.
00:35:37.53\00:35:41.84
Why?
00:35:41.87\00:35:43.20
Well, it's very simple.
00:35:43.24\00:35:44.57
Quickly let's
go through it. Why?
00:35:44.61\00:35:45.94
Because the Bible says
the wages of sin, what?
00:35:45.97\00:35:47.71
Romans 6:23, good.
00:35:47.74\00:35:49.68
The wages of sin is death.
00:35:49.71\00:35:53.01
So He did.
00:35:53.05\00:35:54.38
He took our sins.
00:35:54.42\00:35:55.75
But notice this, is every
time you have communion service,
00:35:55.78\00:35:59.09
are we crucifying Him afresh?
00:35:59.12\00:36:01.86
Evidently not.
00:36:01.89\00:36:03.22
Bible says here,
Hebrews 9:22 says, but here,
00:36:03.26\00:36:06.53
this established
what we just read.
00:36:06.56\00:36:08.06
The wages of sin is death.
00:36:08.10\00:36:09.56
Without the shedding of
blood, Hebrews 9:22 is what?
00:36:09.60\00:36:13.37
No, is no remission, right?
00:36:13.40\00:36:15.94
No remission of
sins without what?
00:36:15.97\00:36:17.84
Without the shedding of blood.
00:36:17.87\00:36:19.47
And then if we add
Hebrews 10:18, notice it said,
00:36:19.51\00:36:24.01
notice, "Where
remission of these sins is,
00:36:24.05\00:36:29.12
there is no more
offering for sin."
00:36:29.15\00:36:32.75
That starts to
get clear, doesn't it?
00:36:32.79\00:36:34.12
Pretty clear, right?
00:36:34.16\00:36:35.49
Where He offered His blood once,
00:36:35.52\00:36:37.26
where He died on Calvary,
00:36:37.29\00:36:38.63
then the remission of sin.
00:36:38.66\00:36:40.00
There's no more
offering for sin,
00:36:40.03\00:36:41.56
but they said,
no, it's every time.
00:36:41.60\00:36:44.03
Something's not biblical here.
00:36:44.07\00:36:46.17
What are we
going to do about it?
00:36:46.20\00:36:49.74
Huh.
00:36:49.77\00:36:51.11
In other words, He paid,
you know, we read other words,
00:36:51.14\00:36:54.21
He paid it all
at once at one time.
00:36:54.24\00:36:58.98
Hmm.
00:36:59.01\00:37:00.88
That song, was it?
00:37:00.92\00:37:02.25
He paid it all,
all to him I owe.
00:37:02.28\00:37:06.69
There's no more
offering for sin the Bible says,
00:37:06.72\00:37:10.59
because the Bible said
He did it once and for all.
00:37:10.63\00:37:13.29
There's no reason for Jesus
00:37:13.33\00:37:16.10
to keep paying
over and over and over.
00:37:16.13\00:37:19.33
Are we getting that thought?
00:37:19.37\00:37:21.04
Let's add a
couple more passages.
00:37:21.07\00:37:22.40
Some may still be confused.
00:37:22.44\00:37:23.87
In the Book of Hebrews 7:27.
00:37:23.91\00:37:27.34
It says, notice this,
"Who needeth not daily,
00:37:27.38\00:37:30.58
as the high priests,
to offer up sacrifice,
00:37:30.61\00:37:33.65
first for his own sin,
and then for the people,"
00:37:33.68\00:37:36.58
notice punch line,
"for this he did once,
00:37:36.62\00:37:40.96
when he offered up himself."
00:37:40.99\00:37:43.22
Man, that's beautiful, isn't it?
00:37:43.26\00:37:44.59
He did what?
00:37:44.63\00:37:45.96
He did it once.
00:37:45.99\00:37:47.33
Not every time
that you have mass
00:37:47.36\00:37:48.70
that we offer up
and kill Jesus afresh.
00:37:48.73\00:37:51.13
Let's add some more, shall we?
00:37:51.17\00:37:52.50
Hebrews 10:10.
00:37:52.53\00:37:53.97
It says, "We are
sanctified through the offering
00:37:54.00\00:37:56.40
of the body of Jesus
Christ once and for all."
00:37:56.44\00:38:00.68
How many times?
Once and for all.
00:38:00.71\00:38:03.35
So something's unscriptural.
00:38:03.38\00:38:04.81
There's a lot of
unscriptural things
00:38:04.85\00:38:06.28
but yet people are fooled.
00:38:06.31\00:38:07.72
People are deceived, why?
00:38:07.75\00:38:09.08
Because they
don't read these things.
00:38:09.12\00:38:10.49
Very simple.
00:38:10.52\00:38:11.85
Let's do one more, shall we?
In case you're still confused.
00:38:11.89\00:38:14.06
Hebrews 10:12, but it
says, "But this man," who is it?
00:38:14.09\00:38:17.69
Jesus Christ.
00:38:17.73\00:38:19.06
"After he had
offered one sacrifice for sin
00:38:19.09\00:38:23.70
forever," come on, "sat
down on the right hand of God."
00:38:23.73\00:38:28.90
Man, isn't that
beautiful? Bottom line.
00:38:28.94\00:38:31.07
Does this make sense?
00:38:31.11\00:38:32.44
Number one, does this
really make sense to us?
00:38:32.47\00:38:35.61
Well, let's maybe use
a little illustration.
00:38:35.64\00:38:38.85
Let's say, you buy a new car.
00:38:38.88\00:38:42.58
Now, and you just
happen to have the cash.
00:38:42.62\00:38:46.15
And so you go buy that car
00:38:46.19\00:38:47.66
and you lay all
the cash money down
00:38:47.69\00:38:50.13
and you pay for it.
00:38:50.16\00:38:52.49
And you get you a receipt, a
bill of sales that says paid,
00:38:52.53\00:38:57.40
paid in full, paid in full.
00:38:57.43\00:39:00.17
I liked that when you
get that paid in full.
00:39:00.20\00:39:02.40
That means it's
taken care of, is it not?
00:39:02.44\00:39:05.44
It's paid.
00:39:05.47\00:39:07.74
So really would there
be any need to keep paying
00:39:07.78\00:39:12.21
the same price over
and over and over again?
00:39:12.25\00:39:17.32
Once it's paid,
00:39:17.35\00:39:19.62
once it's paid the
account is settled.
00:39:19.65\00:39:22.72
Once it's paid,
the account is settled.
00:39:22.76\00:39:24.93
That's such good news.
00:39:24.96\00:39:27.03
Don't have to do it every...
That's the devil's counterfeit.
00:39:27.06\00:39:30.77
And when God's
people hear and you give it,
00:39:30.80\00:39:32.43
God's people could be
anybody in any church.
00:39:32.47\00:39:34.70
But when you hear Bible truth,
00:39:34.74\00:39:36.14
we have to be
willing to take a step out.
00:39:36.17\00:39:37.87
Don't be keep
sipping that wine of Babylon.
00:39:37.91\00:39:40.31
It's time to put that cup down.
00:39:40.34\00:39:42.24
Let the Word of God
speak to our hearts.
00:39:42.28\00:39:45.81
In the Book of Mark, you know,
in the New Testament 14: 23.
00:39:45.85\00:39:51.79
It's just another point.
00:39:51.82\00:39:53.15
I just want to bring
this in another point.
00:39:53.19\00:39:55.92
The Roman church
left this part out too.
00:39:55.96\00:39:58.79
Verse 23.
00:39:58.83\00:40:00.16
He said, "He, Jesus took the cup
00:40:00.20\00:40:03.10
and when he had given thanks,
00:40:03.13\00:40:04.60
he gave it to
them," come on church.
00:40:04.63\00:40:06.90
"He gave it to them,
00:40:06.94\00:40:08.80
and they all drank of it."
00:40:08.84\00:40:13.68
Did you get it?
00:40:13.71\00:40:15.04
Now in mass,
that doesn't happen.
00:40:15.08\00:40:17.71
They've changed that
too, for drinking the wine
00:40:17.75\00:40:23.49
and you can look it
up in different areas.
00:40:23.52\00:40:25.89
A lot of it they'll say,
well, we use grape juice,
00:40:25.92\00:40:27.92
but most generally they
use a real McCoy in wine,
00:40:27.96\00:40:31.66
a little dab of it, it
can be, they say, well,
00:40:31.69\00:40:33.80
we can use it
00:40:33.83\00:40:35.16
'cause it's okay
if it's just like 18%
00:40:35.20\00:40:37.10
or 18 proof or whatever.
00:40:37.13\00:40:40.40
But only the priest drinks it.
00:40:40.44\00:40:45.17
The Bible said what?
00:40:45.21\00:40:46.54
He gave thanks and
they all, they all drank it.
00:40:46.57\00:40:50.35
Now, should we
follow what Jesus did?
00:40:50.38\00:40:53.78
Absolutely.
00:40:53.82\00:40:55.15
This is what we should
be following what Jesus said
00:40:55.18\00:40:56.99
to do here, not what the priest
and what Jesus celebrated.
00:40:57.02\00:41:00.36
And we do as Christian
today, it's grape juice.
00:41:00.39\00:41:04.13
You don't want a
bunch of wine diversion.
00:41:04.16\00:41:07.16
Oh, I almost said
drunkers and things carrying on,
00:41:07.20\00:41:10.23
people hollering for seconds.
00:41:10.27\00:41:11.97
Come on now, think with me.
00:41:12.00\00:41:15.27
BIBLE said they all drank it.
00:41:15.30\00:41:18.57
And so the common
practice is for the priest
00:41:18.61\00:41:21.68
to use a little bit of
wine when he conducts the mass.
00:41:21.71\00:41:25.78
Again, he does what?
00:41:25.81\00:41:27.15
He drinks it himself.
00:41:27.18\00:41:28.52
That's against
what Scripture say.
00:41:28.55\00:41:30.89
It does not
harmonize with Scripture.
00:41:30.92\00:41:34.96
This is all that
we're trying to say,
00:41:34.99\00:41:36.32
not to condemn this person
or that person or a church.
00:41:36.36\00:41:40.96
We're saying what they teach
00:41:41.00\00:41:42.50
doesn't
harmonize with Scripture.
00:41:42.53\00:41:45.37
I mean, after all,
isn't that your job?
00:41:45.40\00:41:46.97
What did Jesus do
when He walked this earth?
00:41:47.00\00:41:49.87
Every time He heard an untruth,
00:41:49.90\00:41:51.97
He came back with
the truth, did He not?
00:41:52.01\00:41:54.88
Every time He heard
an untruth, He came back.
00:41:54.91\00:41:58.75
Many times He said to them
00:41:58.78\00:42:00.12
because He knew
it'd get him in trouble.
00:42:00.15\00:42:01.48
And He said something
like, don't go tell anybody.
00:42:01.52\00:42:05.72
Not because He was afraid,
00:42:05.75\00:42:07.09
but it caused Him more problems.
00:42:07.12\00:42:09.42
But He still told the truth.
00:42:09.46\00:42:12.46
Now, if you say, well,
I'm not sure how we conduct
00:42:12.49\00:42:15.56
the communion service.
00:42:15.60\00:42:16.93
You call it, we
call it the mass.
00:42:16.97\00:42:18.90
Don't call it something
that the Bible doesn't call it.
00:42:18.93\00:42:22.17
It's called communion service.
00:42:22.20\00:42:24.44
And again, it is,
it's interesting what?
00:42:24.47\00:42:27.24
We do the
communion, right, service.
00:42:27.28\00:42:30.08
We talk a little bit.
Then we go and dismiss.
00:42:30.11\00:42:32.25
We wash one another's
feet and then we come back
00:42:32.28\00:42:35.28
and we have the
bread and the wine.
00:42:35.32\00:42:37.79
But it's
interesting that Roman Catholic
00:42:37.82\00:42:39.92
and many other
churches only do half of it.
00:42:39.95\00:42:42.92
But the Catholic
Church says this.
00:42:42.96\00:42:45.06
Well, if we just
do one part of it,
00:42:45.09\00:42:48.46
if we just drank the wine,
00:42:48.50\00:42:50.33
that means we did it
all, that one means two.
00:42:50.37\00:42:53.77
Now I've never
heard one means two,
00:42:53.80\00:42:56.20
or if we just do the bread.
00:42:56.24\00:42:57.57
That means we'd done the wine.
So one means two, it's okay.
00:42:57.61\00:43:00.08
That's not what the
Bible says. What is that?
00:43:00.11\00:43:02.74
Can we do is follow
Jesus Christ which way?
00:43:02.78\00:43:05.31
Lay, Jesus lays it all
out in His Word and we'll say,
00:43:05.35\00:43:07.55
well, I picked this
and I'll choose this.
00:43:07.58\00:43:09.95
And I'll leave that,
that doesn't harmonize.
00:43:09.98\00:43:11.79
We can't do that.
00:43:11.82\00:43:13.56
The real test of
a sincere Christian
00:43:13.59\00:43:16.83
is to follow the Word of God
00:43:16.86\00:43:18.59
by His grace and
strength, by His power.
00:43:18.63\00:43:20.66
We can't do it on our own.
00:43:20.70\00:43:22.26
So I encourage
you. I wish we had time.
00:43:22.30\00:43:24.37
We don't, 12 minutes or so left.
00:43:24.40\00:43:26.13
But if you want to
know communion service,
00:43:26.17\00:43:29.40
try 1 Corinthians Chapter 11.
00:43:29.44\00:43:32.37
1 Corinthians Chapter 11
00:43:32.41\00:43:34.64
and read just
verses 23 through 28.
00:43:34.68\00:43:38.08
Would you do that?
00:43:38.11\00:43:39.61
Again, those who may be
confused and you're saying,
00:43:39.65\00:43:41.75
we thought it
was mass all along.
00:43:41.78\00:43:45.32
So just read the
way Jesus instituted
00:43:45.35\00:43:47.99
and what Jesus says.
00:43:48.02\00:43:49.36
This is what He
would in His Word.
00:43:49.39\00:43:52.83
1 Corinthians 11:23-28.
00:43:52.86\00:43:56.13
And I think it'll
give you some real insight.
00:43:56.16\00:43:59.23
Now, again, let's
revert back to, we say, well,
00:43:59.27\00:44:01.80
the Catholic
theologians, they should know.
00:44:01.84\00:44:05.81
They, notice this,
I've said it before,
00:44:05.84\00:44:07.18
wanna say it again,
00:44:07.21\00:44:08.54
they actually teach
that the bread and the wine
00:44:08.58\00:44:13.15
are actually
changed into the body
00:44:13.18\00:44:15.88
and the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:44:15.92\00:44:19.05
When the priest says,
they say they believe this.
00:44:19.09\00:44:22.46
I can't hardly picture it,
but I just need to go ahead
00:44:22.49\00:44:24.69
with this rather than
get my own thoughts on this.
00:44:24.73\00:44:28.56
When the priest
says, this is my body,
00:44:28.60\00:44:31.00
we had a lot of time,
00:44:31.03\00:44:32.37
we can go
through different things.
00:44:32.40\00:44:33.74
What the Bible talks
about and institutes,
00:44:33.77\00:44:35.80
how they changed
everything around
00:44:35.84\00:44:37.47
when they raised the cup
and what they say and so on.
00:44:37.51\00:44:40.18
It's opposite of Scripture.
00:44:40.21\00:44:43.04
Then they say
that this is the body
00:44:43.08\00:44:45.31
and the blood of Christ.
00:44:45.35\00:44:47.22
This is my body.
00:44:47.25\00:44:48.85
This is my blood.
00:44:48.88\00:44:51.32
They stressed the word is.
00:44:51.35\00:44:54.19
See they'd got to find
something they can hold on
00:44:54.22\00:44:56.26
to in case
somebody challenges them.
00:44:56.29\00:44:58.16
And most generally
they're never challenged.
00:44:58.19\00:45:00.26
Nobody challenges
them. I don't know why not.
00:45:00.30\00:45:02.70
Challenge them
from the Word of God.
00:45:02.73\00:45:06.37
They stress, this is.
00:45:06.40\00:45:09.30
They say it is
actually His flesh literally,
00:45:09.34\00:45:14.88
His flesh literally.
00:45:14.91\00:45:16.24
What do you mean by that?
00:45:16.28\00:45:19.15
We must be
careful not to make it say
00:45:19.18\00:45:21.28
something it doesn't really say.
00:45:21.32\00:45:23.72
Let me give you a
quick example, shall we?
00:45:23.75\00:45:25.75
Remember, they
read it literally.
00:45:25.79\00:45:27.12
Jesus said, you
know, you eat My flesh
00:45:27.16\00:45:28.72
and drink My blood.
00:45:28.76\00:45:30.09
That's all,
that's it. That's it.
00:45:30.13\00:45:31.46
And when we do, we literally
take in God into our bodies.
00:45:31.49\00:45:35.33
I don't know if I have
time to go into it or not,
00:45:35.36\00:45:36.73
but my friend, my
brother and sister,
00:45:36.77\00:45:38.33
when you say that,
and you believe that,
00:45:38.37\00:45:39.83
that you're taking God
and you're creating God
00:45:39.87\00:45:41.80
and you're taking Him in.
00:45:41.84\00:45:43.17
And when you drink
and as a human being,
00:45:43.20\00:45:44.67
we take it and
drink it and we eat,
00:45:44.71\00:45:46.78
it goes into
our digestive tract.
00:45:46.81\00:45:49.88
And what happens with it?
00:45:49.91\00:45:51.25
It's pretty
heavy-duty when you think
00:45:54.68\00:45:56.02
about what
you're doing with God,
00:45:56.05\00:45:58.32
that couldn't
possibly be true at all.
00:45:58.35\00:46:02.12
John 1:29, the Bible is clear.
00:46:02.16\00:46:06.80
I love it. They
say Jesus is called.
00:46:06.83\00:46:08.40
These are examples to say.
00:46:08.43\00:46:09.76
Jesus is called
the lamb of what?
00:46:09.80\00:46:11.70
Ooh, He's
called the Lamb of God.
00:46:11.73\00:46:13.57
When John saw Him coming,
"Ooh, behold, the Lamb of God
00:46:13.60\00:46:16.30
that taketh away
the sin of the world.
00:46:16.34\00:46:19.04
Man, how exciting that is
when we think about Jesus.
00:46:19.07\00:46:22.01
He's the one that paid
it all, all to Him I owe.
00:46:22.04\00:46:25.71
And so here rather than
say, oh, his blood is His, oh,
00:46:25.75\00:46:30.89
it's literal, we take it away.
00:46:30.92\00:46:32.29
That was how the Bible
uses different illustrations.
00:46:32.32\00:46:34.42
You said here,
Jesus is the what?
00:46:34.46\00:46:36.66
The Lamb of God. Is
Jesus really a lamb?
00:46:36.69\00:46:39.69
No, it's a symbol.
00:46:39.73\00:46:42.36
It represents Christ.
00:46:42.40\00:46:44.07
Give you another one.
00:46:44.10\00:46:45.43
John chapter 10:9,
Jesus said this, notice,
00:46:45.47\00:46:48.57
he said, "I am
the bread of life."
00:46:48.60\00:46:52.24
He's the bread. But
He said, I'm the door.
00:46:52.27\00:46:54.21
It's beautiful.
00:46:54.24\00:46:55.58
He is the bread of
life, but he's also the door.
00:46:55.61\00:46:57.91
Now you really look and
say, when you think of Jesus,
00:46:57.95\00:47:00.35
do you think of a door?
00:47:00.38\00:47:02.48
Well in this
saying, but I'm saying he,
00:47:02.52\00:47:04.09
you know, he's not a door.
00:47:04.12\00:47:05.55
So this must be what?
00:47:05.59\00:47:07.26
It must be a
symbol of Jesus Christ.
00:47:07.29\00:47:09.79
It represents Christ.
00:47:09.82\00:47:12.19
How about John 15:5
00:47:12.23\00:47:14.00
where Jesus said,
he said it Himself.
00:47:14.03\00:47:16.06
It must be the truth.
00:47:16.10\00:47:17.43
He said, "I'm the vine."
00:47:17.47\00:47:19.30
Did he really mean?
That's what He a vine.
00:47:19.33\00:47:22.40
It's assembled.
00:47:22.44\00:47:23.77
I think we see
this here when he says
00:47:23.81\00:47:25.27
the flesh and the blood is it,
00:47:25.31\00:47:28.14
it's just a symbol
or is it the real McCoy?
00:47:28.18\00:47:31.31
Revelation 5:5
says, notice this.
00:47:31.35\00:47:33.28
"Jesus is called the
Lion of the tribe of Judah."
00:47:33.31\00:47:36.38
You remember, is
Jesus really a lion?
00:47:36.42\00:47:38.49
It says a symbol.
00:47:38.52\00:47:39.85
All these
symbols simply represent
00:47:39.89\00:47:42.52
his relationship to
his people to mankind.
00:47:42.56\00:47:45.89
The Bible uses figures
00:47:45.93\00:47:47.66
and they used
symbols as we well know.
00:47:47.70\00:47:50.77
Look at the Book of Daniel,
look at the Book of Revelation,
00:47:50.80\00:47:53.07
man, they're full of symbols.
00:47:53.10\00:47:56.10
God wants us to
understand these things here
00:47:56.14\00:47:58.14
in these last days.
00:47:58.17\00:48:01.04
And so as such today,
00:48:01.08\00:48:02.94
so are the bread and the wine.
00:48:02.98\00:48:07.32
Another point in effort,
00:48:07.35\00:48:10.82
you know, just an
effort to prove that the priest
00:48:10.85\00:48:13.25
eat the actual flesh and
drink the blood of Christ
00:48:13.29\00:48:17.99
at the communion
service Catholic theologians
00:48:18.03\00:48:21.13
quote John 6:53.
00:48:21.16\00:48:23.93
I'm just going to turn there
00:48:23.97\00:48:25.30
because somebody
may not have time.
00:48:25.33\00:48:26.67
We've got seven minutes, so
I'm going to hurry as I can.
00:48:26.70\00:48:28.04
But this is so important.
00:48:28.07\00:48:29.47
Remember they're saying,
we're going to substantiate
00:48:29.50\00:48:31.67
this by the Word of God.
00:48:31.71\00:48:33.04
See if that's really true.
00:48:33.07\00:48:34.41
John 6:53-55, 53-55.
00:48:34.44\00:48:39.38
"Then Jesus said unto
them, verily I say unto you,
00:48:39.41\00:48:41.48
except you eat the" what?
00:48:41.52\00:48:43.15
Flesh of the Son of
man, and drink His blood,
00:48:43.18\00:48:46.12
ye have no life in you.
00:48:46.15\00:48:47.62
Whosoever eateth my
flesh, drinketh," what?
00:48:47.66\00:48:50.29
My blood hath eternal life,
and I will raise him up," when?
00:48:50.33\00:48:54.70
"The last day." Good.
00:48:54.73\00:48:56.06
"For my flesh is meat indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed.
00:48:56.10\00:49:00.50
They use and say, well,
00:49:00.54\00:49:01.87
just see this got to be literal.
00:49:01.90\00:49:03.24
That's what he's talking about.
00:49:03.27\00:49:04.61
Is that what it's talking about?
00:49:04.64\00:49:05.97
Remember this, the
Jews thought that Jesus
00:49:06.01\00:49:08.74
meant literally to eat.
00:49:08.78\00:49:10.55
Remember Jesus said,
you have to eat my flesh
00:49:10.58\00:49:11.98
and drink my blood.
00:49:12.01\00:49:13.35
They literally
thought that was what these,
00:49:13.38\00:49:14.72
and they said, well,
00:49:14.75\00:49:16.08
basically you're
out of your mind.
00:49:16.12\00:49:17.45
No way we can do that.
00:49:17.49\00:49:19.85
Of course, that
was not the truth.
00:49:19.89\00:49:21.86
But Catholic theologians
got the same information
00:49:21.89\00:49:24.89
from the same place,
evidently from the Jews,
00:49:24.93\00:49:27.86
you see that evidently
and the Jews got it from what?
00:49:27.90\00:49:32.27
From the enemy.
00:49:32.30\00:49:33.64
'Cause it's not a truth.
00:49:33.67\00:49:35.14
Here's why, quickly
this explains it, Ralph.
00:49:35.17\00:49:36.97
And you say, well,
what does all that mean?
00:49:37.01\00:49:38.54
John 6:63 explains it.
00:49:38.57\00:49:41.08
Notice this. It
says, oh, this is so clear.
00:49:41.11\00:49:44.05
I'm so thankful
that it's so clear.
00:49:44.08\00:49:45.95
There's no reason
for us to miscue on this.
00:49:45.98\00:49:49.22
Jesus says, as he spoke
these words I speak into you
00:49:49.25\00:49:53.96
they are spirit,
and they are what?
00:49:53.99\00:49:57.26
And they are life.
00:49:57.29\00:49:58.73
Man, that clears it up,
he didn't say literally,
00:49:58.76\00:50:00.33
he said, these are
spirit and they are what?
00:50:00.36\00:50:03.20
And they are alive, praise God.
00:50:03.23\00:50:05.13
How about? Quickly,
how about Nicodemus?
00:50:05.17\00:50:07.47
You know, John Chapter 3,
give you illustrations 3 and 4.
00:50:07.50\00:50:11.11
Jesus made the statement to him.
00:50:11.14\00:50:12.47
He said, "Except a man be" what?
00:50:12.51\00:50:15.04
"Born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God."
00:50:15.08\00:50:17.98
What was Nicodemus' problem?
00:50:18.01\00:50:21.15
What did he not understand?
00:50:21.18\00:50:23.55
You know what he
didn't understand?
00:50:23.59\00:50:24.92
He didn't
understand what it means
00:50:24.95\00:50:26.29
to constitute the new birth.
00:50:26.32\00:50:28.12
He didn't
understand that as many today
00:50:28.16\00:50:30.66
did not understand that.
00:50:30.69\00:50:32.66
Many still believe
that they literally eat
00:50:32.69\00:50:35.33
and drink the body of Jesus.
00:50:35.36\00:50:38.50
Oh, my brothers and sister,
00:50:38.53\00:50:40.84
the Bible comes
out live and what?
00:50:40.87\00:50:43.64
Proves that it's another error.
00:50:43.67\00:50:46.61
It proves that
this teaching of mass
00:50:46.64\00:50:48.41
is an error of the enemy.
00:50:48.44\00:50:50.68
Truth must come out.
00:50:50.71\00:50:53.11
It's clear, my
brothers and sisters,
00:50:53.15\00:50:56.15
we cannot take
some things literal
00:50:56.18\00:50:58.69
when the context
that you read here
00:50:58.72\00:51:01.36
speaks of figures
and it speaks of what?
00:51:01.39\00:51:04.43
Of illustrations.
00:51:04.46\00:51:06.53
So we, you know,
we've got to look at it
00:51:06.56\00:51:08.13
the way God wrote
it down, inspired men.
00:51:08.16\00:51:11.30
Keep in mind, please,
spiritual things are what?
00:51:11.33\00:51:15.17
Spiritually discerned
there in 1 Corinthians 2:14.
00:51:15.20\00:51:19.54
By how wonderful to
praise God for His Word.
00:51:19.57\00:51:22.71
When Jesus speaks
about eating His flesh,
00:51:22.74\00:51:25.05
come on, let's make it clear.
00:51:25.08\00:51:26.41
When He talks
about eating His flesh
00:51:26.45\00:51:27.98
and drinking His blood
00:51:28.02\00:51:29.35
to receive eternal life,
He means accept His Word.
00:51:29.38\00:51:33.96
This brings life to the soul.
00:51:33.99\00:51:36.89
It brings life to the believer.
00:51:36.93\00:51:39.89
He promises eternal life.
00:51:39.93\00:51:41.46
We accept Him and His Word.
00:51:41.50\00:51:44.17
Jeremiah said this,
you remember Jeremiah?
00:51:44.20\00:51:45.93
Maybe this will
help too, Jeremiah 15:6.
00:51:45.97\00:51:49.00
He said that, Ooh, he said,
00:51:49.04\00:51:50.51
"Thy words were
found," and what?
00:51:50.54\00:51:53.41
"I did eat them up." Notice it.
00:51:53.44\00:51:55.18
"They were found
and I did eat them,
00:51:55.21\00:51:56.61
and thy word was unto me
00:51:56.64\00:51:58.25
the joy and
rejoicing of mine heart."
00:51:58.28\00:52:01.72
How beautiful.
00:52:01.75\00:52:03.08
Man, how long has it been
00:52:03.12\00:52:04.45
since you've got the Word of God
00:52:04.49\00:52:05.82
and you ate it up and then
all of a sudden you jumped up
00:52:05.85\00:52:07.19
and you shout and maybe
you ran about a little bit,
00:52:07.22\00:52:09.66
say, woo, this
is really exciting.
00:52:09.69\00:52:12.39
So we see to eat the flesh
and drink the blood of Christ
00:52:12.43\00:52:16.20
is in a spiritual
sense, not literally.
00:52:16.23\00:52:21.34
We need to be careful
00:52:21.37\00:52:22.70
when we say we
do this these things
00:52:22.74\00:52:24.07
that we create the
Creator, blasphemy.
00:52:24.11\00:52:28.61
Peter, whom the Catholic
regards as the first pope.
00:52:28.64\00:52:33.11
Come on as we close now, listen.
00:52:33.15\00:52:34.95
Peter who the Catholics
regard as the first pope
00:52:34.98\00:52:37.82
would not recognize
the service of mass.
00:52:37.85\00:52:40.59
He would not
participate in it at all.
00:52:40.62\00:52:43.63
Huh.
00:52:43.66\00:52:44.99
Because it's nothing
more than a tradition.
00:52:45.03\00:52:47.80
Paganism brought into the church
00:52:47.83\00:52:49.23
in the place of the Bible.
00:52:49.26\00:52:51.07
Let's make it just
a little bit plainer
00:52:51.10\00:52:52.43
if you don't mind.
00:52:52.47\00:52:55.00
Many have accepted and
may they do not know a lie
00:52:55.04\00:52:58.01
of the enemy in place
of a thus saith the Lord.
00:52:58.04\00:53:02.11
The Jews criticized Christ
00:53:02.14\00:53:04.08
because He did
not follow tradition.
00:53:04.11\00:53:06.15
You remember that?
00:53:06.18\00:53:07.82
They criticized Him, He
didn't follow tradition.
00:53:07.85\00:53:09.98
Matthew 15:2 and Mark 2:18.
00:53:10.02\00:53:13.29
Jesus said this we know
00:53:13.32\00:53:14.66
it well in
Matthew 15:9, he said,
00:53:14.69\00:53:17.26
"But in vain," what is it?
00:53:17.29\00:53:19.06
"But in vain,
do they worship me,
00:53:19.09\00:53:21.26
teaching for doctrines
00:53:21.30\00:53:22.73
the commandments of men."
00:53:22.76\00:53:24.10
This is exactly
what's going on in our study
00:53:24.13\00:53:26.23
as quickly as we
can get it to you today.
00:53:26.27\00:53:28.64
Martin Luther said this in
the Great Controversy, 189.
00:53:28.67\00:53:31.74
Martin Luther said this.
00:53:31.77\00:53:33.81
Martin Luther said,
"The mass is a bad thing.
00:53:33.84\00:53:36.61
God is opposed to it.
00:53:36.64\00:53:38.38
It ought to be abolished."
00:53:38.41\00:53:39.81
Great Controversy,
59, once again said,
00:53:39.85\00:53:41.82
"The Scriptural ordinance,
00:53:41.85\00:53:43.18
as we close of the Lord's Supper
00:53:43.22\00:53:45.29
has been supplanted
00:53:45.32\00:53:46.99
by the idolatrous
sacrifice of mass.
00:53:47.02\00:53:49.56
Papal priests pretended
by their senseless mummery
00:53:49.59\00:53:53.36
to convert the simple bread
and wine with the actual body
00:53:53.40\00:53:56.60
and blood of Christ.
00:53:56.63\00:53:58.23
With blasphemous,
notice presumption,
00:53:58.27\00:54:00.97
they openly claimed
the power of creating God,
00:54:01.00\00:54:05.11
the Creator of all things.
00:54:05.14\00:54:06.91
Oh, my brothers and sisters,
00:54:06.94\00:54:08.28
Babylon the
great is working hard.
00:54:08.31\00:54:10.18
The mother of harlots right now,
00:54:10.21\00:54:12.05
she's feeding the world
out of that cup with a wine,
00:54:12.08\00:54:15.88
the false doctrine and the world
00:54:15.92\00:54:17.62
is gobbling it up.
00:54:17.65\00:54:19.69
Somebody needs to speak up.
00:54:19.72\00:54:21.32
Somebody needs to
understand what truth is.
00:54:21.36\00:54:23.73
There are
doctrines and teachings
00:54:23.76\00:54:25.09
are flooding the world today.
00:54:25.13\00:54:26.80
The only way you'll know
a difference is right here.
00:54:26.83\00:54:29.10
The detector of sin is
right here, the Word of God.
00:54:29.13\00:54:32.57
If you've been fooled by
the enemy on this subject,
00:54:32.60\00:54:35.47
I played with you today.
00:54:35.50\00:54:37.41
Won't you make that
decided change right now?
00:54:37.44\00:54:40.14
You may have been
deceived for years.
00:54:40.18\00:54:41.64
You did not know it, but
now, you know, I invite you,
00:54:41.68\00:54:44.08
please make that chain.
00:54:44.11\00:54:45.45
Why?
00:54:45.48\00:54:46.82
Because God is calling you
out to be part of his family.
00:54:46.85\00:54:50.19
Shall we pray together?
00:54:50.22\00:54:51.69
Let's pray.
00:54:51.72\00:54:54.56
Our kind loving heavenly Father,
00:54:54.59\00:54:55.92
we thank You for
Your precious Word.
00:54:55.96\00:54:57.29
Thank You that You make it clear
00:54:57.33\00:54:58.66
that we can understand.
00:54:58.69\00:55:00.03
Pray for Holy Spirit power.
00:55:00.06\00:55:01.40
Pray for those right now,
00:55:01.43\00:55:02.76
who are making that
decision to come out of her,
00:55:02.80\00:55:04.90
my people and be not
partakers of her sin.
00:55:04.93\00:55:07.97
Thank you Lord, for
what You're going to do.
00:55:08.00\00:55:09.50
Thank you for the Holy Spirit.
00:55:09.54\00:55:10.87
We'll take this Word
00:55:10.91\00:55:12.24
and you'll put it
in the ears to hearers,
00:55:12.27\00:55:13.61
in Jesus' name.
00:55:13.64\00:55:14.98
Amen.
00:55:15.01\00:55:16.34
God bless you
for joining us today.
00:55:16.38\00:55:17.71

00:55:20.78\00:55:22.12
See you next time.
00:55:22.15\00:55:24.25
Hello and welcome back, friends.
00:55:24.29\00:55:26.42
We pray that this message
00:55:26.45\00:55:27.82
has brought
clarity upon the teaching
00:55:27.86\00:55:30.13
of the Word of God
00:55:30.16\00:55:31.49
versus the teachings
of the Catholic Church.
00:55:31.53\00:55:33.93
Christ often warned us in
His Word not to be deceived.
00:55:33.96\00:55:38.53
We must study to show
ourselves approved unto God.
00:55:38.57\00:55:42.00
If deception were of
no spiritual consequence,
00:55:42.04\00:55:45.11
then Christ would not
have warned us about it
00:55:45.14\00:55:47.84
so very often in His Word.
00:55:47.88\00:55:49.94
We have a heaven to
gain and a hell to shun.
00:55:49.98\00:55:53.72
So the diligent
study of His Word
00:55:53.75\00:55:56.02
is of vital importance
for each and every one of us.
00:55:56.05\00:55:59.79
