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:

Mortal Sins

THE WORD MORTAL MEANS DEADLY. IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION YOU MAY NOT BE ACQUAINTED WITH WHAT SIN ACTUALLY IS. LET ME USE THE BIBLE DEFINITION OF WHAT SIN IS.

1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

BELOVED OF GOD, WHATSOEVER THAT GOD COMMANDS YOU TO DO; DO IT. IF A PERSON DOES NOT DO AS GOD COMMANDS THEN HE IS TRANSGRESSING GODĚS LAW. THERE IS THE SIN OF COMISSION, AND THE SIN OF OMISSION. LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR, THE SPIRIT FILLED, BORN AGAIN, CHILDREN OF GOD, DOES NOT WILFULLY TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL.

1Jn:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1Jn:3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1Jn:3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1Jn:3:5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1Jn:3:6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1Jn:3:7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1Jn:3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1Jn:3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

SAINTS OF GOD THERE ARE SOME SINS THAT ARE NOT MORTAL SINS, BUT, THERE ARE SOME SINS IF COMMITTED, AFTER A PERSON HAS BEEN CALLED TO REPENTANCE, AND HAS BEEN BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HAS RECIEVED THE HOLY GHOST, AND COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, WILL MOST LIKELY BRING THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. FOR EXAMPLE IF A PERSON FALLS AWAY FROM THE CHURCH, AND RENOUNCES THEIR FAITH. THERE IS NO REPENTANCE FOR THAT SIN.

Heb:6:1: Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Heb:6:2: Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Heb:6:3: And this will we do, if God permit.

Heb:6:4: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Heb:6:5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Heb:6:6: If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

LISTEN CAREFULLY CHILDREN OF GOD, SWEARING IS PROBABLY THE WORST SIN THAT A PERSON CAN COMMIT, IF IT IS NOT THE WORST SIN IT IS AMONG THE WORST SINS. BECAUSE THE LORD INSPIRED THE APOSTLE JAMES TO RECORD THESE WORDS. ABOVE ALL THINGS BRETHREN SWEAR NOT. IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION YOU MAY NOT BE ACQUAINTED WITH Í SWEARING.Î SWEARING IS THE MAKING OF A SOLEMN DECLARATION, AND FIRMING UP THE DECLARATION BY MENTIONING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE SACRED. WHEN A PERSON IS GOING TO GIVE TESTAMONY IN COURT, THERE IS A MAN THAT COMES TO PERFORM THE RITUAL OF WHAT IS CALLED, Í SWEARING IN.Î HE WILL SAY SUCH WORDS AS DO YOU PROMISE TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, AND THEN MENTION SOMEONE OR SOMETHING SACRED. WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO SWEAR, BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO AFFIRM. TO AFFIRM MEANS THAT YOU SOLEMNLY PROMISE, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, TO TELL THE TRUTH, WITHOUT SWEARING. BUT IF YOU SWEAR, AFTER THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, AFTER YOU HAVE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BE CONDEMNED WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE GOD.

Jms:5:12: But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation

ANOTHER MORTAL SIN SAINTS OF GOD, IS THE COMMITTING OF ADULTERY. IF A MAN AFTER HE HAS BEEN BAPTISED INTO CHRIST, AND HE HAS RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST. IF HE GOES INTO A WOMAN, OTHER THAN HIS SPOUSE, AND HAS SEXUAL RELATIONS. THE PHYSICAL MAN WILL GET UP, AND WALK OFF. BUT THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL SHALL BE DESTROYED. I BASE MY OPINION ON THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE.

Prv:6:32: But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

BELOVED OF GOD, COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE OUTWARD MAN, THIS BODY OF FLESH AND BLOOD, SHALL PERISH. IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. FOR THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, LET ME AT THIS TIME WARN YOU ABOUT THE WILFULL SIN. IT IS ONE THING TO SIN IN IGNORANCE, BUT IT IS QUITE ANOTHER THING TO COMMIT A SIN WITH MALICE AFORETHOUGHT. IF A MAN PLOTS, AND PLANS TO SIN, TO TRANSGRESS A COMMANDMENT OF GOD. AND, THEN COMMITS THE SIN. ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES HE DOES THREE THINGS, FIRST HE TRODDS UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, SECONDLY, HE COUNTS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE WAS SANCTIFIED AN UNHOLY THING, AND THRIDLY, HE DOES DESPITE UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE. I BASE MY OPINION ON THESE SCRIPTURES.

Heb:10:26: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Heb:10:27: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Heb:10:28: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Heb:10:29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Heb:10:30: For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Heb:10:31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

CHILDREN OF THE FAMILY OF GOD, THE NEXT MORTAL SIN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO WARN YOU OF IS, THE PARTAKING OF THE LORDĚS SUPPER UNWORTHLY. BEFORE A PERSON TAKES COMMUNION, BEFORE THEY EAT, AND DRINK, OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST. THEY MUST EXAMINE THEMSELVES TO SEE IF THEY ARE STILL IN THE FAITH. FOR IF THEY EAT OF THE BREAD, AND DRINK OF THE CUP UNWORTHLY, THEY EAT, AND DRINK TO THEIR OWN CONDEMNATION.

1Cor:11:23: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

1Cor:11:24: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1Cor:11:25: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1Cor:11:26: For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

1Cor:11:27: Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

1Cor:11:28: But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

1Cor:11:29: For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1Cor:11:30: For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

HOLY CHILDREN, EXCEPT A MAN EATS OF THE FLESH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND DRINKS OF HIS BLOOD, EXCEPT A MAN PARTAKES OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST, THE LORDĚS SUPPER. HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM, WHEN HE STANDS BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I BASE MY OPINION ON THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE.

Jn:6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (KJV)

Jn:6:54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jn:6:55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Jn:6:56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

Jn:6:57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

Jn:6:58: This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

HOLY CHILDREN THE NEXT MORTAL SIN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO WARN YOU AGAINST IS BLASPHEME. THE OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL IS BRINGING HIS CHILDREN OUT IN THE OPEN. THIRDY YEARS AGO IF PEOPLE TALKED, AS THEY TALK TODAY, THEY VERY WELL MAY HAVE BEEN PUT OFF TELEVISION. FOR A LONG TIME I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY SOME PEOPLE SAID SUCH FILTY THINGS. WHAT PLEASURE DO THEY GET OUT OF FILTY TALK? THEN IT WAS REVEALED TO ME THAT THOSE THAT BLASPHEME, AND SAY SUCH DISGUSTING THINGS, WERE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL GIVING A TESTIMONY THAT THEY WERE CHILDREN OF SATAN. BUT COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, IF A PERSON SAYS ONE WORD AGAINST JESUS CHRIST, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN. BUT, IF A PERSON SPEAKS ONE WORD AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST. IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVE HIM IN THIS WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME.

Mt:12:30: He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Mt:12:31: Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Mt:12:32: And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, BEFORE GOD CALLS US TO REPENTANCE, WE ARE ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. THE CARNAL MIND THE MIND OF SENSE, AND REASON WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. THEREFORE BEFORE GOD CALLS US TO REPENTANCE, AND GIVES US THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, WE ALL RUN WITH THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL TO EXCESS. DOING THINGS THAT ARE AGAINST THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. BUT, AFTER GOD CALLS US TO REPENTANCE, AND GIVES US THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE, AND THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL DELIGHTS IN THE LAWS OF GOD.

Rom:7:22: For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

BELOVED WHEN GOD CALLS HIS CHILDREN TO REPENTANCE, JUSTIFIES, AND GLORIFIES US, AND TRANSLATES US OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND GIVES US THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, WE BECOME SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF GOD. AND GOD HAS CALLED US TO PEACE WITH ALL MANKIND. BUT WE ARE AT WAR WITH SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. WE ARE AT PEACE WITH MANKIND, AND WE ARE NOT TO BREAK THE PEACE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. IF WE ARE ATTACKED WE ARE COMMANDED TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK. WE ARE COMMANDED TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THOSE THAT HATE US, AND BLESS THOSE THAT CURSE US. THE NATIONS THAT BE ARE ORDAINED OF GOD, AND WE ARE COMMANDED NOT TO RESIST THE NATIONS. IF WE RESIST, IF WE WORK AGAINST, OR FIGHT AGAINST, WE RESIST TO OUR OWN CONDEMNATION.

Rom:13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Rom:13:2: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Rom:13:3: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

LET ME CONCLUDE BY SAYING, LOVE THE CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, LOVE THIS NATION, LOVE ALL MANKIND. FOR LOVE IS OF GOD.
