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

I BELIEVE EVERYTHING EITHER PRECEDES FROM GOD , OR SATAN." I BELIEVE THAT THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK PRECEDED FROM SATAN. I BELIEVE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME SATAN HAS PLACED HIS CHILDREN IN KEY POSITIONS IN THE CHURCH DENOMINATIONS AND HAS CAUSED MANY DIVISIONS SUCH AS CATHOLICS, METHODIST, BAPTIST, PENTECOSTAL, JEHOVAH WITNESSES, MORMONS, AND MANY OTHERS. JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S DARLING SON, HAS SAID THESE WORDS "A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND. LK:11:17 BUT HE, KNOWING THEIR THOUGHTS, SAID UNTO THEM, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION; AND A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST A HOUSE FALLETH. 18. IF SATAN ALSO BE DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF, HOW SHALL HIS KINGDOM STAND? BECAUSE YE SAY THAT I CAST OUT DEVILS THROUGH BEELZEBUB. WHEN A PERSON GOES INTO COURT AS A WITNESS HE IS REQUIRED TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT I KNOW TO GET THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, CONCERNING SALVATION, AND THAT IS TO BEGIN AT THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW, AND READING THROUGH TO REVELATIONS. WE AS SAINTS OF GOD ARE COMMANDED TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES. 2TM:2:15 STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IGNORANCE OF THE LAW WILL BE A VALID DEFENSE, IN EVERY CASE, WHEN WE STAND BEFORE GOD. PHIL:2:12 WHEREFORE, MY BELOVED, AS YE HAVE ALWAYS OBEYED, NOT AS IN MY PRESENCE ONLY, BUT NOW MUCH MORE IN MY ABSENCE, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY SYSTEM OF LAW COULD BE EFFECTIVE IF IT ALLOWED IGNORANCE TO BE A VALID DEFENSE IN EVERY CASE. FOR MEN WOULD NOT STUDY THE LAW; AND WHEN BROUGHT BEFORE A JUDGE WOULD SIMPLY USE AS THEIR DEFENSE "IGNORANCE OF THE LAW." AS YOU STUDY LAW, AND THE SCRIPTURES ARE THE LAWS OF GOD, HAVE A DICTIONARY CLOSE, AND IF THERE IS A WORD THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE DEFINITION, LOOK IT UP IN THE DICTIONARY. WHAT ARE LAWS? THEY ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SET FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY? AUTHORITY IS ONE THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THE TRANSGRESSORS. IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, BY USING A SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK IN MANY LIFE TIMES. USING THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK TO GET THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT TRUTH IS LIKE TRYING TO DIP ALL THE FISH OUT OF A LAKE WITH A DIP NET. WHEN YOU READ STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BIBLE IT IS LIKE USING A GREAT SEINE AND STARTING A ONE END OF THE LAKE , AND SEINING TO THE OTHER END OF THE LAKE. WHY WOULD SATAN INVENT THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK? HE INVENTED THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK TO KEEP MEN IN THE DARK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK? THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK LEADS MEN AWAY FROM THE SCRIPTURES THAT PROVE THE CHILDREN OF SATAN’S DOCTRINE FALSE, IT ALSO CAUSES MEN TO STUDY THE SUNDAY SCHOOL RATHER THAN THE BIBLE, AND IT JUMPS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT TO THE OLD TESTAMENT. MEN THAT ARE INDOCTRINATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR DENOMINATIONS HERESIES WRITE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS, AND MEN THAT ARE INDOCTRINATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR DENOMINATIONS DOCTRINES TEACH THE LESSONS. MEN THAT ARE CALLED OF GOD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL ARE COMMANDED TO REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT. 2TM:4:1 I CHARGE THEE THEREFORE BEFORE GOD, AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO SHALL JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM; 2. PREACH THE WORD; BE INSTANT IN SEASON, OUT OF SEASON; REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT, WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND DOCTRINE. 3. FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; BUT AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, HAVING ITCHING EARS; HOW IS THE WORD "REPROVE" DEFINED? IT MEANS TO SCOLD, OR CORRECT, USUALLY GENTLY OR WITH KINDLY INTENT. HOW IS THE WORD "REBUKE" DEFINED? IT MEANS TO CRITICIZE SHAPELY. HOW IS THE WORD "EXHORT" DEFINED? IT MEANS TO GIVE WARNINGS. MEN THAT ARE SERVING MAMMON, MONEY, REPROVE NO ONE, REBUKE NO ONE, EXHORT NO ONE. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ATTENDING CHURCH EACH SUNDAY THAT ARE ADULTERERS. THEY DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE MARRIED INTO ADULTERY. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK LEADS MEN, AND WOMAN, AWAY FROM SUCH SCRIPTURES AS THESE THAT WARN THE SAINTS. ROM:7:1 KNOW YE NOT, BRETHREN, (FOR I SPEAK TO THEM THAT KNOW THE LAW,) HOW THE LAW HATH DOMINION OVER A MAN AS LONG AS HE LIVETH? 2. FOR THE WOMAN WHICH HATH AN HUSBAND IS BOUND BY THE LAW TO HER HUSBAND SO LONG AS HE LIVETH; BUT IF THE HUSBAND BE DEAD, SHE IS LOOSED FROM THE LAW OF HER HUSBAND. 3. SO THEN IF, WHILE HER HUSBAND LIVETH, SHE BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN, SHE SHALL BE CALLED AN ADULTERESS; BUT IF HER HUSBAND BE DEAD, SHE IS FREE FROM THAT LAW; SO THAT SHE IS NO ADULTERESS, THOUGH SHE BE MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN. MEN THAT HAVE DIVORCED THEIR WIVES FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, OTHER THAN FORNICATION, AND REMARRIES WHILE THEIR PREVIOUS WIVES LIVE ARE MARRYING INTO ADULTERY. MT:19:9 AND I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOSOEVER SHALL PUT AWAY HIS WIFE, EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION, AND SHALL MARRY ANOTHER, COMMITTETH ADULTERY: AND WHOSO MARRIETH HER WHICH IS PUT AWAY DOTH COMMIT ADULTERY. ADULTERY DESTROYS THE SOUL. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK LEADS THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM WARNING SUCH AS THIS. PRV:6:32 BUT WHOSO COMMITTETH ADULTERY WITH A WOMEN LACKETH UNDERSTANDING: HE THAT DOETH IT DESTROYETH HIS OWN SOUL. WHAT IS TRUTH? TRUTH IS THAT WHICH AGREES WITH FINAL REALITY. IN A COURT OF LAW TRUTH IS DETERMINED BY EVIDENCE. IF THE TRIAL IS A MATTER OF "LAW," THE JUDGE WILL DETERMINE TRUTH; IF THE TRIAL IS A MATTER OF "FACT" A JURY WILL DETERMINE TRUTH. WITH THAT THOUGHT IN MIND, I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT CERTAIN EVIDENCE AS TO THE TRUTH OF SOME OF THE DOCTRINES THAT ARE BEING PREACHED. FOR EXAMPLE, FALSE PROPHETS ARE PREACHING, "FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION." BUT THEY DO NOT USE THESE SCRIPTURES AS THEIR TEXT. JMS:2:14 WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT, MY BRETHREN, THOUGH A MAN SAY HE HATH FAITH, AND HAVE NOT WORKS? CAN FAITH SAVE HIM? 15. IF A BROTHER OR SISTER BE NAKED, AND DESTITUTE OF DAILY FOOD, 16. AND ONE OF YOU SAY UNTO THEM, DEPART IN PEACE, BE YE WARMED AND FILLED; NOTWITHSTANDING YE GIVE THEM NOT THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NEEDFUL TO THE BODY; WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT? 17. EVEN SO FAITH, IF IT HATH NOT WORKS, IS DEAD, BEING ALONE. 18. YEA, A MAN MAY SAY, THOU HAST FAITH, AND I HAVE WORKS: SHEW ME THY FAITH WITHOUT THY WORKS, AND I WILL SHEW THEE MY FAITH BY MY WORKS. 19. THOU BELIEVEST THAT THERE IS ONE GOD: THOU DOEST WELL: THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, AND TREMBLE. 20. BUT WILT THOU KNOW, O VAIN MAN, THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? 21. WAS NOT ABRAHAM OUR FATHER JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, WHEN HE HAD OFFERED ISAAC HIS SON UPON THE ALTAR? 22. SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? I BELIEVE THAT MULTITUDES OF MEN ARE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE HEAVEN THEIR HOME WITH A DEAD FAITH. EVERY GOOD WORK, OR BAD WORK IS BEING RECORDED IN BOOKS, AND ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT THE BOOKS WILL BE OPENED, AND MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, WILL BE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE BOOKS ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. RV:20:11 AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM. 12. AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT, STAND BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED, WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE: AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. RV:20:13 AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN IT; AND DEATH AND HELL DELIVERED UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN THEM: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. 14. AND DEATH AND HELL WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH. 15. AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. IF A MAN BELIEVES THE TEXT "FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION," AND REFUSES TO BE BAPTIZED, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, ON JUDGMENT DAY HE WILL BE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES’ AND BY THAT LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. THE WORD "LAW" IN THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE IS THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES’. ROM:3:20 THEREFORE BY THE DEEDS OF THE LAW THERE SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. BAPTISM IS THE PRINCE OF SACRAMENTS BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. BAPTISM IS WORKS, PARTAKING OF THE LORDS SUPPER IS WORKS; ANY TIME SOMETHING MOVES WORK IS DONE. IF A MAN DOES NOT EAT OF THE FLESH OF THE LORD JESUS, AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN HIM. 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. THERE ARE FALSE PROPHETS THAT PREACH PLAYING ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CHURCH IS A SIN. BUT THEY DO NOT USE THESE SCRIPTURES AS THEIR TEXT. PS:150:1 PRAISE YE THE LORD. PRAISE GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY: PRAISE HIM IN THE FIRMAMENT OF HIS POWER. 2. PRAISE HIM FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS: PRAISE HIM ACCORDING TO HIS EXCELLENT GREATNESS. 3. PRAISE HIM WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET: PRAISE HIM WITH THE PSALTERY AND HARP. 4. PRAISE HIM WITH THE TIMBREL AND DANCE: PRAISE HIM WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND ORGANS. 5. PRAISE HIM UPON THE LOUD CYMBALS: PRAISE HIM UPON THE HIGH SOUNDING CYMBALS. 6. LET EVERY THING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE YE THE LORD. SAINTS OF GOD PLAY ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD. RV:14:1 AND I LOOKED, AND, LO, A LAMB STOOD ON THE MOUNT SION, AND WITH HIM AN HUNDRED FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND, HAVING HIS FATHER’S NAME WRITTEN IN THEIR FOREHEADS. 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. WHAT IS TRUTH? TRUTH IS THAT WHICH AGREES WITH FINAL REALITY. THERE ARE MEN THAT PREACH ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO. THEY PREACH PLAINLY THAT A MAN CANNOT LOSE HIS SALVATION. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK LEADS MEN AWAY FROM SUCH SCRIPTURES AS THESE. IF A MAN CIRCUMCISES HIMSELF WITH THE INTENT TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES’ HE WILL FALL FROM GRACE AND CHRIST WILL PROFIT HIM NOTHING. 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 THOUGH THE SPIRIT WAIT FOR THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. IF A MAN FALLS AWAY, RENOUNCES HIS FAITH, AFTER THAT HE HAS RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, AND HAS COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, HE CANNOT REPENT OF 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, 2. OF THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMS, AND OF LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND OF RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, AND OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT. 3. AND THIS WILL WE DO, IF GOD PERMIT. 4. FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO WERE ONCE ENLIGHTENED, AND HAVE TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, AND WERE MAD PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST. 5. AND HAVE TASTED THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, AND THE POWERS OF THE WORLD TO COME, 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. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK WAS NOT THE FIRST OF IT’S KIND; HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS USING THE CATECHISM, THE CATECHISM LONG IN USE IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS THAT PREPARED BY THE JESUIT PETER CANISIUS WHICH APPEARED IN 1555. THE CATECHISM OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT, A DOCUMENT OF HIGH AUTHORITY ISSUED IN 1566, WAS ESSENTIALLY A MANUAL OF INSTRUCTION FOR USE BY THE CLERGY IN COMBATING THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, NONETHELESS IT REMAINED INFLUENTIAL FOR OVER FOUR CENTURIES. BELOVED, YOU HAVE ENEMIES, SATAN AND HIS CHILDREN, THAT ARE SEEKING TO DESTROY YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE OF THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL. PRV:6:26 FOR BY MEANS OF A WHORISH WOMAN A MAN IS BROUGHT TO A PIECE OF BREAD: AND THE ADULTRESS WILL HUNT FOR THE PRECIOUS LIFE. SATAN’S CHILDREN ARE LIVING TOOLS THAT HE USES FOR YOUR DESTRUCTION. THE HARLOT’S HOUSE IS THE WAY TO HELL GOING DOWN TO CHAMBERS OF DEATH. PRV:7:27 HER HOUSE IS THE WAY TO HELL, GOING DOWN TO THE CHAMBERS OF DEATH. REMEMBER THIS SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN BECAUSE OF SIN, ADAM, GOD’S SON, WAS DRIVEN FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, PARADISE, AWAY FROM THE TREE OF LIFE BECAUSE OF SIN. HERE ARE THE SINS THAT WILL KEEP YOU FROM INHERITING THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GAL:5:19 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE MANIFEST, WHICH ARE THESE; ADULTERY, FORNICATION, UNCLEANNESS, LASCIVIOUSNESS, 20. IDOLATRY, WITCHCRAFT, HATRED, VARIANCE, 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.
