A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

Heresy

IF A PERSON TRANSGRESSES THE LAW OF THE LAND IT IS CALLED A CRIME. IF A PERSON TRANSGRESSES THE LAW OF GOD, IT IS CALLED SIN. WHAT IS LAW? LAWS ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SET FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY? AUTHORITY IS ONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH TRANSGESSOR. WHAT IS SCRIPTURE? SCRIPTURES ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SET FORTH BY GOD’S AUTHORITY. GOD HAS ALL POWER IN HEAVEN, AND EARTH. GOD HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THOSE THAT SIN. A PERSON MAY COMMIT A CRIME AND NOT BE PUNISHED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE. BUT IF A PERSON TRANSGRESSES ONE OF GOD’S LAWS, AFTER THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, AFTER THEY COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. GOD PUNISHES THOSE THAT COMMIT SIN, SOME IN THIS WORLD, SOME IN THE WORLD TO COME. ROM:6:23 FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE FALSE PROPHET. YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE FALSE PROPHETS FOR ALL MEN SPEAK WELL OF THEM. LK:6:26 WOE UNTO YOU, WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU! FOR SO DID THEIR FATHERS TO THE FALSE PROPHETS. HOW ARE WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, TO TREAT THE HERETIC? TI:3:10 A MAN THAT IS AN HERETICK AFTER THE FIRST AND SECOND ADMONITION REJECT; WHAT IS HERESY? HERESY IS DOCTRINE THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, OR DOCTRINE THAT MAKES THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD OF NON EFFECT, HERESIES ARE FALSE STATEMENTS SPOKEN WITH THE INTENT TO DECEIVE. BEWARE OF MEN THAT SOLICIT MONEY MORE THAN THEY PREACH JESUS. THEY CALL THEMSELVES PREACHERS WHEN IN REALITY THEY ARE SALESMEN OF BOOKS, VIDEO TAPES, CASSETTES ETC. A MAN CANNOT SERVE GOD, AND MAMMON, MONEY. IN THESE SCRIPTURES JESUS IS SPEAKING CONCERNING MEN MAKING GOD’S WORD OF NONE EFFECT. MK:7:10 FOR MOSES SAID, HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER; AND, WHOSO CURSETH FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM DIE THE DEATH: 11. BUT YE SAY, IF A MAN SHALL SAY TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER, IT IS CORBAN, AN OFFERING, THAT IS TO SAY, A GIFT, BY WHATSOEVER THOU MIGHTEST BE PROFITED BY ME; HE SHALL BE FREE. 12. AND YE SUFFER HIM NO MORE TO DO OUGHT FOR HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER; 13. MAKING THE WORD OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, WHICH YE HAVE DELIVERED: AND MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE. IF ANY MAN PREACHES THAT GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY, HE IS PREACHING HERESY. ROM:11:22 BEHOLD THEREFORE THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD: ON THEM WHICH FELL, SEVERITY: BUT TOWARD THEE, GOODNESS, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF. FALSE TEACHERS ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN. THEY DO THEIR FATHER’S WILL, AND IT IS SATAN’S WILL THAT EVERY CHILD OF GOD SHOULD BE DESTROYED. JN:8:44 YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND THE LUST OF YOU FATHER YE WILL DO. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ABODE NOT IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE SPEAKETH A LIE, HE SPEAKETH OF HIS OWN: FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER OF IT. SATAN’S CHILDREN WERE CREATED TO BE TAKEN AND DESTROYED. 2PT:2:12 BUT THESE, AS NATURAL BRUTE BEASTS, MADE TO BE TAKEN AND DESTROYED, SPEAK EVIL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND NOT; AND SHALL UTTERLY PERISH IN THEIR OWN CORRUPTION; THERE ARE MEN THAT TEACH ALL MEN ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SALVATION. EVEN PREACH THAT JUDAS ISCARIOT COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED IF HE WOULD HAVE CONFESSED HIS SIN, AND REPENTED. THAT DOCTRINE IS HERESY, GOD HAS HIS CHILDREN, AND SATAN HAS HIS CHILDREN. MEN WERE SINGING THIS SONG ABOUT JUDAS HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN. THIS SONG IS THE CURSE THAT WAS PUT ON JUDAS . PS:109:5 AND THEY HAVE REWARDED ME EVIL FOR GOOD, AND HATRED FOR MY LOVE. 6. SET THOU A WICKED MAN OVER HIM: AND LET SATAN STAND AT HIS RIGHT HAND. 7. WHEN HE SHALL BE JUDGED, LET HIM BE CONDEMNED: AND LET HIS PRAYER BECOME SIN. 8. LET HIS DAYS BE FEW; AND LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE. 9. LET HIS CHILDREN BE FATHERLESS, AND HIS WIFE A WIDOW. 10. LET HIS CHILDREN BE CONTINUALLY VAGABONDS, AND BEG: LET THEM SEEK THEIR BREAD ALSO OUT OF THEIR DESOLATE PLACES. 11. LET THE EXTORTIONER CATCH ALL THAT HE HATH: AND LET THE STRANGERS SPOIL HIS LABOUR. 12. LET THERE BE NONE TO EXTEND MERCY UNTO HIM: NEITHER LET THERE BE ANY TO FAVOUR HIS FATHERLESS CHILDREN. 13. LET HIS POSTERITY BE CUT OFF; AND IN THE GENERATION FOLLOWING LET THEIR NAME BE BLOTTED OUT. 14. LET THE INIQUITY OF HIS FATHERS BE REMEMBERED WITH THE LORD; AND LET NOT THE SIN OF HIS MOTHER BE BLOTTED OUT. 15. LET THEM BE BEFORE THE LORD CONTINUALLY, THAT HE MAY CUT OFF THE MEMORY OF THEM FROM THE EARTH. 16. BECAUSE THAT HE REMEMBERED NOT TO SHEW MERCY, BUT PERSECUTED THE POOR AND NEEDY MAN, THAT HE MIGHT EVEN SLAY THE BROKEN IN HEART. 17. AS HE LOVED CURSING, SO LET IT COME UNTO HIM: AS HE DELIGHTED NOT IN BLESSING, SO LET IT BE FAR FROM HIM. 18. AS HE CLOTHED HIMSELF WITH CURSING LIKE AS WITH HIS GARMENT, SO LET IT COME INTO HIS BOWELS LIKE WATER, AND LIKE OIL INTO HIS BONES. 19. LET IT BE UNTO HIM AS THE GARMENT WHICH COVERETH HIM, AND FOR A GIRDLE WHEREWITH HE IS GIRDED CONTINUALLY. 20. LET THIS BE THE REWARD OF MINE ADVERSARIES FROM THE LORD, AND OF THEM THAT SPEAK EVIL AGAINST MY SOUL. PETER, AND THE OTHER APOSTLES CAST LOTS TO SEE WHICH MAN SHOULD TAKE JUDAS’S MINISTRY, ACTS:1:20 FOR IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS, LET HIS HABITATION BE DESOLATE, AND LET NO MAN DWELL THEREIN: AND HIS BISHOPRICK LET ANOTHER TAKE. 25. THAT HE MAY TAKE PART OF THIS MINISTRY AND APOSTLESHIP, FROM WHICH JUDAS BY TRANSGRESSION FELL, THAT HE MIGHT GO TO HIS OWN PLACE. 26. AND THEY GAVE FORTH THEIR LOTS; AND THE LOT FELL UPON MATTHIAS; AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH THE ELEVEN APOSTLES. THERE IS A VERY HIGH PRICE TO BE PAID FOR PREACHING OR TEACHING HERESY. THE PERSON THAT PREACHES HERESIES SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GAL:5:20 ENVYINGS, MURDERS, DRUNKENNESS, REVELLINGS, EMULATIONS, WRATH, STRIFE, SEDITIONS, HERESIES, 21. ENVYINGS, MURDERS, DRUNKENNESS, REVELLINGS, AND SUCH LIKE: OF THE WHICH I TELL YOU BEFORE, AS I HAVE ALSO TOLD YOU IN TIME PAST, THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHERE ARE HERESIES TAUGHT? MEN, AND WOMEN TEACH HERESIES IN CHURCHES, IN SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, MOVIE THEATERS, ON TELEVISION, IN THEIR PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT; BUT HERESY IS HERESY NO MATTER WERE IT IS TAUGHT. THE HERETIC SHALL GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF EVERY WORD. MT:`12:36 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. 37. FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED. THERE ARE MEN THAT PREACH THIS HERESY; TO BE SAVED A MAN MUST BE CIRCUMCISED. ACTS 15:1 AND CERTAIN MEN WHICH CAME DOWN FROM JUDAEA TAUGHT THE BRETHREN, AND SAID, EXCEPT YE BE CIRCUMCISED AFTER THE MANNER OF MOSES, YE CANNOT BE SAVED. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN HAD TO BE CIRCUMCISED TO MAKE HEAVEN THEIR ETERNAL HOME. BUT UNDER THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD ARE NOT TO CIRCUMCISE OURSELVES, NEITHER OUR CHILDREN. GAL:5:1 STAND FAST THEREFORE IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HATH MADE US FREE, AND BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE. 2. BEHOLD, I PAUL SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IF YE BE CIRCUMCISED, CHRIST SHALL PROFIT YOU NOTHING. 3. FOR I TESTIFY AGAIN TO EVERY MAN THAT IS CIRCUMCISED, THAT HE IS A DEBTOR TO DO THE WHOLE LAW. 4. CHRIST IS BECOME OF NO EFFECT UNTO YOU, WHOSOEVER OF YOU ARE JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW; YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE. 5. FOR WE THROUGH THE SPIRIT WAIT FOR THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6. FOR IN JESUS CHRIST NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE. THERE ARE MEN PREACHING; THERE IS ONE GOD, HIS NAME IS JESUS, AND NONE OTHER. THIS DOCTRINE DENIES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. ANY MAN THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN BOTH GOD, THE FATHER, AND JESUS GOD’S SON, IS NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL THEY ARE ANTICHRIST. 1JN:2:22 WHO IS A LIAR BUT HE THAT DENIETH THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST? HE IS ANTICHRIST, THAT DENIETH THE FATHER AND THE SON. GOD THE FATHER CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS BLESSED CHILD. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: GOD THE FATHER BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED ALL THINGS. EPH:3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD THE FATHER AT ANY TIME. JN:1:18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, HE HATH DECLARED HIM. TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD, THE FATHER, BRINGS DEATH. EX:33:20 AND HE SAID, THOU CANST NOT SEE MY FACE: FOR THERE SHALL NO MAN SEE ME, AND LIVE. THERE ARE MEN THAT PREACH ALL MEN ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, BUT THAT IS HERESY. GOD HAS HIS CHILDREN, AND SATAN HAS HIS CHILDREN. IN THE PARABLE OF THE WHEAT AND THE TARES, THE WHEAT ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE TARES ARE THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. MT:13:25 BUT WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26. BUT WHEN THE BLADE WAS SPRUNG UP, AND BROUGHT FORTH FRUIT, THEN APPEARED THE TARES ALSO. 27. SO THE SERVANTS OF THE HOUSEHOLDER CAME AND SAID UNTO HIM, SIR, DIDST NOT THOU SOW GOOD SEED IN THY FIELD? FROM WHENCE THEN HATH IT TARES? 28. HE SAID UNTO THEM, AND ENEMY HATH DONE THIS. THE SERVANTS SAID UNTO HIM, WILT THOU THEN THAT WE GO AND GATHER THEM UP? 29. BUT HE SAID, NAY; LEST WHILE YE GATHER UP THE TARES, YE ROOT UP ALSO THE WHEAT WITH THEM. 30. LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: AND IN THE TIME OF HARVEST I WILL SAY TO THE REAPERS, GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM: BUT GATHER THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN. 36. THEN JESUS SENT THE MULTITUDE AWAY, AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE: AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM, SAYING, DECLARE UNTO US THE PARABLE OF THE TARES OF THE FIELD. 37. HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, HE THAT SOWETH THE GOOD SEED IS THE SON OF MAN; 38. THE FIELD IS THE WORLD; THE GOOD SEED ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM; BUT THE TARES ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE WICKED ONE; 39. THE ENEMY THAT SOWED THEM IS THE DEVIL; THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD; AND THE REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS. 40. AS THEREFORE THE TARES ARE GATHERED AND BURNED IN THE FIRE; SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END OF THIS WORLD. 41. THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS, AND THEY SHALL GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND, AND THEM WHICH DO INIQUITY; 42. AND SHALL CAST THEM INTO A FURNACE OF FIRE: THERE SHALL BE WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. 43. THEN SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER. WHO HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR. THE LAW OF MOSES, AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN. LK:16:16 THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO IT. IF A MAN PREACHES TITHING, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAWS AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, OR IF HE PREACHES THAT MEN SHOULD NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES’ OR IF HE PREACHES THAT GOD’S CHILDREN SHOULD NOT EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS, BIRDS, AND FISH, AND BUILDS THE DIETARY LAWS AS THEY WERE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. GAL:2:18 FOR IF I BUILD AGAIN THE THINGS WHICH I DESTROYED, I MAKE MYSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. 19. FOR I THROUGH THE LAW AM DEAD TO THE LAW, THAT I MIGHT LIVE UNTO GOD. 20. I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE: YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME. 21. I DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD: FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COME BY THE LAW, THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN. CAN WOMEN PASTOR A CHURCH? YES, BUT CAN THEY PASTOR A CHURCH LEGALLY ACCORDING TO GOD’S LAWS? NO THEY CANNOT. IT IS NOT LEGAL FOR A WOMAN TO TEACH A MAN SCRIPTURES. 1TM:2:11 LET THE WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION. 12. BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE. 13. FOR ADAM WAS FIRST FORMED, THEN EVE. 14. AND ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE TRANSGRESSION. A WOMAN IS FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK IN CHURCH. 1COR:14:34 LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES: FOR IT IS NOT PERMITTED UNTO THEM TO SPEAK: BUT THEY ARE COMMANDED TO BE UNDER OBEDIENCE, AS ALSO SAITH THE LAW. 35. AND IF THEY WILL LEARN ANY THING, LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT HOME: FOR IT IS A SHAME FOR WOMEN TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH. THERE ARE MEN THAT TEACH THIS HERESY; IT IS A SIN TO PLAY ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CHURCH. MEN PLAY ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD. RV:14:2 AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, AS THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS, AND AS THE VOICE OF A GREAT THUNDER: AND I HEARD THE VOICE OF HARPERS HARPING WITH THEIR HARPS: 3. AND THEY SUNG AS IT WERE A NEW SONG BEFORE THE THRONE, AND BEFORE THE FOUR BEASTS, AND THE ELDERS: AND NO MAN COULD LEARN THAT SONG BUT THE HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND, WHICH WERE REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH. A MAN WHEN HE PRAYS IS COMMANDED TO UNCOVER HIS HEAD, A WOMAN WHEN SHE PRAYS IS COMMANDED TO COVER HER HEAD. EVERY MAN THAT PRAYS WITH HIS HEAD COVERED DISHONORS HIS HEAD WHICH IS CHRIST; EVERY WOMAN THAT PRAYS WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED DISHONORS HER HEAD WHICH IS MAN. 1COR:11:1-10 MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
