people through the last two hundred and fifty or so years, not exactly, two hundred and forty years, I think, have been willing to sacrifice, in many cases, sacrifice their lives so that we can have freedom and we certainly should honor them and remember them. uh... first john chapter two tonight and uh... this is going to be something a little different more of a of a lesson sermon i guess though i'm not sure exactly sure what the difference between the two is but more of a teaching thing than a preaching and uh... and so first john chapter two and uh... let's begin reading in verse eighteen little children it is the last time now that expression right there is one of the keys of understanding what the bible talking about when it talks about the last day it's not just talking about in the new testament when it talks about the last day use it's not just talking about uh... two or three months right before Jesus comes. It's talking about the entire New Testament age because He could have come at any time, could come tonight. And so John said in his day when he wrote this, little children, it is the last time. And as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. And so we talk about the antichrist by which we mean that final ruler that the book of Revelation refers to as the beast. John says, you've heard about that one. Well, they're even now, and he's talking about when he wrote the book, that there were at that time many antichrists. And I'll show you another passage in a minute that will shed a little light on that. But then he goes on in verse 19 and says about these that in the previous verse he referred to as antichrists. He said, they went out from us. So these antichrists that he's talking about had been evidently either members or at least attendees of some of the churches where John had been. And John said, they went out from us, but then he points out why they went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. But they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us." I do hope you understand that not everybody that claims to be saved is really saved. The Lord knoweth them that are His. And a lot of people that claim to be His, I'm convinced, are not His. Now we don't know which one is and which one isn't, but He does. Verse 20, John says, But ye have an unction, that word means an anointing, from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar? Listen to what this apostle of love says. Who is a liar? but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ, he is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son." So you can see then from that verse what he meant back in verse 18 when he said that even now there are many, many antichrists in the world because he defines an antichrist in this verse. And by the way, that old cliché that the best interpreter of the Bible is the Bible, That's not just a cliché, that's true. And so he said that an antichrist is one, and also a liar, who denies that Jesus is the Christ, one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed one that was anointed of the Father and sent to come and be our Savior. And so he said in verse 23, Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. Some people deny the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, and think that by doing that they're giving honor to the Father. But this verse says just the opposite. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father, but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." You can't separate the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. They're one in three, three in one. Verse 24, "...let that therefore abide in you which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." And then John explains why he said the things that he just said. In verse 26, "...these things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you." Some of those Antichrists were seducing people away from the truth of God. And so John said the reason I'm writing this book, or one of the reasons, is concerning these people, these false teachers that seduce you. Now, he talked about here that a person who denies that Jesus is the Christ is Antichrist. Now, just look over to chapter 4. He said in verse 1, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And thus, this denial that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come, and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world, therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them." We, that is John and the other apostles and other authors of the Bible, we are of God. He that knoweth God heareth us. He that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." And so in this passage, he set forth two things by which we can determine whether a teacher or preacher is operating under the direction and guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit First of all, he said, verses 2 and 3, that you can know the Spirit of God by this. If it's the Spirit of God, then the person preaching will be preaching about Jesus Christ coming in the flesh, about God becoming incarnate as a human being and fulfilling the ministry that He had, whereby He could become our Savior. If a person doesn't preach that and doesn't believe that, he's not operating under the powers of the Spirit of God. And then in verse 6, he said, we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error by the fact that he that knoweth God hears what the Bible says. We, John said, are of God, the authors of the Bible. He that knoweth God heareth us. He that's not of God heareth not us. A person that denies the Bible is not of God. A person who upholds the Bible and hears the Bible and puts it into practice is of God. And so now look at 2 John and just one verse in the book of 2 John. Verse 7, John said, for many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Now, we've just looked at every passage in the Bible that uses the word antichrist in what we just read. I'm going to speak to you tonight on the subject trademarks of cults. Now, it obviously depends on what you mean by a cult. You know, some people call us a cult. We're in the IFB cult, the Independent Fundamental Baptist cult. And so there are people that say we're a cult. uh... there are uh... so i remember when bill clinton was president his beautiful uh... head of the department of justice janet reno uh... said that uh... i hope you don't think that i really think she was beautiful uh... yeah i don't think some people are catching on to my sarcasm though believe me i didn't think she was beautiful I thought he was more beautiful than she was, to be honest. But anyway, she said and basically described what we believe, people that believe that the Lord's coming back and that there's going to be an Armageddon-type thing in the future, that they're a cult. Well, we believe that. the difference by the way between us and the muslims who in that sense believe the same, believe there's going to be a conflagration in the end time. We believe that God's going to do it. They believe that it's up to them to bring it in by, you know, doing things like flying airplanes into buildings and stuff like that. uh... trademarks of course father please help me tonight uh... operate that you'll help me to give uh... something onto your people uh... that will bobby a hill to them and that might even uh... in some cases prevent somebody from uh... becoming involved in some of the calls please help operate in jesus name in the end Now, I've got 14 trademarks of colts. I plan to get through all of them, but if it starts getting too late, then I'll cut it in half and give you the rest of it later. But I've got 14 different trademarks of colts that I have written down. So the necessary thing, first of all, is that we define exactly and specify exactly what it is that I mean by a cult or actually I'm going to show you what I don't mean by drawing some contrasts. Now let me give you a basic definition of what I'm talking about and I didn't just make this up but since so many people believe so many different things nowadays it's necessary that we define what we're talking about when we talk about a cult. What I mean, the basic definition is this. A cult is a group which claims to be Christian. And all of this is important, by the way. It's a group which claims to be Christian and yet their official doctrine is contrary to fundamental Bible doctrine. That's what I mean when I talk about a cult. And by the way, I guess the best-known book on cults and the best known expert, he's in heaven now, but was a man named Walter Martin who wrote the famous book, The Kingdom of the Cults, and that's what he means by cults, and you can tell that if you read his book based on the groups that he lists as being cults. A cult, what I'm talking about, is a group which claims to be Christian, yet their official doctrine is contrary to fundamental Bible doctrine, okay? Now, let me try to elaborate on that by drawing some contrasts. Let me say in the first place that there's a difference between a cult, C-U-L-T, and the occult, O-C-C-U-L-T. Now, some Christians have confused these two things, but when we talk about the occult, we're talking about religions which have an open connection to satanic influence, things like witchcraft and black magic and astrology and all of these kinds of things. would fall under the heading of the occult. Now cults are satanically motivated, as is all false doctrine, but there's not the open satanic connection with the cults that there is in the occult. Remember that cults, what I'm talking about when I talk about cults, I'm talking about groups that claim to be Christian. Well, the occult groups that fall under that don't claim to be Christian. So there's a difference between a cult and the occult. Secondly, there's a difference between a cult and what we generally refer to as a false religion. Usually, when we talk about a false religion, we're talking about a religion that doesn't claim to be Christian. For example, Islam would fall under the heading of a false religion. Hinduism would fall under the heading of a false religion. Buddhism would fall under the heading of a false religion and so these groups, they don't claim to be Christian. So cults, once again, are false religions but they claim to be Christian. Thirdly, there is a difference between a cult and liberal, theologically liberal modernistic religionists. Now, both cultists and these liberal theological liberal religionists deny fundamental Bible doctrine, but the difference is this. The theological liberals, what they call the modernists, are usually in mainline denominations in churches And while the liberal, the theological liberal, denies fundamental Bible truth, the official doctrine of the group or church of which he is a part does not deny fundamental truth but rather believes it. Now, for the sake of illustration, I'll take the Southern Baptist Convention. Now, the Southern Baptist Convention has theological liberals who deny fundamentals. Most of the time, by the way, they're in their colleges and their universities and their seminaries. But so these theological liberals, they deny fundamentals, but frankly they're operating under false pretenses for the most part for the official doctrine of every Southern Baptist group that I know of is fundamental as to their basic doctrine. What liberals do, these theological liberals, In most cases, they lie about what they believe. They claim that they believe Bible truth in order to retain their jobs as professors in the colleges and that sort of thing, but then they deny Bible truth in the classroom itself, you see. Occultists now, on the other hand, deny fundamental doctrine in the official statements of their group. In other words, the Jehovah's Witnesses' official doctrine denies the deity of Christ, not just some individual Jehovah's Witness member, Now, whenever you start talking about this type of thing or any type of false doctrine and bring up some group, somebody, if they don't say it, is sure to think, well, I've got a neighbor or a person that lives down the street and they're a Jehovah Witness and they believe in the deity of Christ. That may be true, but what you have to understand is the doctrine of the Jehovah's Witnesses is not formulated by your neighbor down the street. It's formulated by the official pronouncements and the official doctrine, not just by what some individual believes or says. And so then there's a difference between a cult and a theologically liberal modern-ethnistic religionist. And then, fourthly, there's a difference between a cult and a truly Christian group which may hold to some false doctrine in non-fundamental areas. Now, different denominations came about because of disagreement in non-fundamental areas, but all true Christians, regardless of their denomination, agree on the fundamentals. Now, take for example the denomination known as the Assemblies of God. Now, they're all on some areas that are not fundamental. They're all, for example, on the matter of tongues. They're off on the matter of divine healing most of the time and several other areas connected with the charismatic movement, but generally they believe the fundamental things. You see, all true Christians agree on the fact of the inspiration and authority of the Bible. Now, not all Christians believe the Bible like I believe it, Most of the Christians in the country now believe in what's known as the eclectic theory of Bible preservation. That is, they believe that God preserved His Word in all of these over 300 versions that we have in English now, minus any errors therein. Now, I believe that in the King James Bible, God gave us His Word and preserved it for the English-speaking world in the Old King James Bible. I'm not talking about the New King James. I'm not talking about the King James 2000. I'm talking about the Old King James Bible. the one that was around before I was born and before you were born, and the one that's still around and will be until Jesus comes. That's what I believe. Most Christians, however, believe again that eclectic theory of preservation, but they do in their way believe in the authority and inspiration of the Bible. All true Christians believe in the deity, the virgin birth, and the sinless life of the Lord Jesus Christ. All true Christians believe in the substitutionary death and blood atonement of Jesus Christ. All true Christians believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. All true Christians believe in the sinfulness of man. All true Christians believe in salvation by grace. All true Christian groups hold to these truths that I just mentioned in their official doctrine whether they're Baptist or whatever they are, if they are a true Christian, truly Christian groups differ on various things that are not fundamental and basic, but all agree, if they're truly a Christian, on the basic fundamentals of the Bible. Cults, however, deny these fundamental things, or at least one of them, in their official doctrine. So again then, a cult, what I'm talking about when I talk about a cult, is a group which claims to be Christian, but their official doctrine is contrary to fundamental Bible doctrine. Now, you could probably, could you name some of the most well-known cults around? Mormons, that's a good one. I'm amazed, by the way, at how many of God's people are guided in their political opinions by Mormons. Talk about Mitt Romney. Don't we really need to listen to him? He did such a great job in 2012. I'm talking about Glenn Beck. Now, I don't know if the man's saved or not. I've heard him give his testimony, and his testimony is right down the line, sounds like he's safe. And I didn't get a kick out of some of the stuff that he comes out with, but I'm going to tell you something. Even if the guy is saved, to remain in the Mormon group after you're saved, you've got some problems. And yet Christians all over the world, all over the country, are listening to Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck in opposition to Donald Trump. Let me tell you something. You better hope Trump wins and not Hillary. And certainly not the Communists that may get the nomination instead of Hillary. But anyway, so that's a well-known one. Another one would be the Jehovah's Witnesses. And by the way, if you don't agree, I don't need you to come tell me after the service. Yeah, I used to call them that sometimes, the Jehovah's False Witnesses, the Christian science group. That's a weird group. Somebody said it was sort of like grape nuts, neither grapes nor nuts. It's neither Christian nor is it scientific, but they call it Christian science. Now, I hadn't heard of these lately. Maybe the old man died or something. There used to be a group called the Moonies. In fact, I met some of them. Some of them came to see me one time. But the Moonies followed the teachings of Sun Myung Moon. Now, the one that hardly anybody will refer to as a cult, but if you take my definition and apply it, that a cult is talking about a group that claims to be Christian, but their official doctrine is contrary to fundamental Bible, truth, then you'll see that this is not only the largest cult that there is, but it really is a cult, and that is Roman Catholicism. And then another one that's often not considered to be a cult, but really is, again, according to the definition, and that's the so-called Church of Christ. And then there are probably hundreds of other groups which are cults. It would be difficult to deal with them all one by one. So I'm going to give you now as many as I can, up to 14 trademarks of cults. All of these 14 things are true of most cults. Some of these 14 things are true of all cults. And if you've had occasion to deal with cult members very much, you'll recognize the reality of what I'm going to tell you tonight. Trademark number one of a cult, they have faulty methods of biblical interpretation. Faulty methods of biblical interpretation. Now, you say, what do you mean, preacher? Well, I mean two things. Number one, they interpret the Bible unreasonably and in a way that is different from Orthodox Christianity. They never use accepted principles of hermeneutics accepted principles of biblical interpretation. Now, for example, one of the basic principles that you have, and you have to use some principles to interpret the Bible in order to come to proper conclusions about it. One of the most basic principles of biblical interpretation is what they call the synthesis principle. I don't think I'm going to get through 14 tonight. But anyway, the synthesis principle. Now what that means is that we must consider all of the Bible when interpreting any one passage and our interpretation of one passage cannot contradict some other passage and be correct. It all synthesizes. The Bible is a harmonious whole when looked at properly. Okay, now take, for example, the group known as the Seventh-day Adventists and their doctrine of soul sleep. Now, what is that? Well, they believe that when a person dies... Now, what the Bible teaches is that when a human being dies, his body... Christians, again and again, the Lord referred to it as sleeping when a Christian dies, when their body dies. But when a Christian's body dies, his soul and spirit go on to heaven and the body will be resurrected and reunited with the soul and spirit at the resurrection, at the rapture. Now, a lost man, when he dies physically, his body dies, goes back to the dust, but his soul and spirit go to hell and will be raised at the resurrection time to stand before the Lord in judgment. Now, the doctrine of soul sleep says that when a person dies, not only does his body sleep, but also his soul and spirit sleeps. There's nothing. The person simply sleeps until the day of the resurrection when he'll be raised, if they even believe that he'll be raised at all. But the Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of soul sleep is based on their faulty interpretation, primarily of a passage in Ecclesiastes, while ignoring all the rest of the Bible. Now, throughout the Bible, goodnight Jesus told us about a guy that's in hell, told us things he said, and that sort of thing. And again and again the Bible teaches what I've just mentioned a while ago. A person dies, his body goes back to the dust, his soul and spirit go to either heaven or hell depending on whether he receives the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior or not. And yet this group bases their false doctrine of soul sleep on a faulty interpretation basically of one passage in Ecclesiastes while ignoring all the rest of the Bible. See, they're violating the synthesis principle that says that one passage does not contradict other passages. So that's one thing I mean when I say that they have faulty methods of biblical interpretation. I mean they interpret the Bible unreasonably and in a way different from Orthodox Christianity. They never use accepted principles of biblical interpretation. Then a second thing I mean when I say that they have faulty methods of biblical interpretation is this. They interpret Scripture based on one man and his teachings or his interpretations. Now, I'm not talking about just having a favorite preacher. It's natural for Christians to have favorite teachers and preachers and things like that. That's not what I'm talking about. To the cultist, if their leader says something and the Bible says the opposite, they'll find some way of claiming that the Bible is in error and their leader is right. system centers around one person and that person's teachings or that person's biblical interpretations. The Jehovah's Witnesses, it's based on the teachings of Charles Taze Russell, who was the founder of that group. The Mormons, It's based on the teachings of Joseph Smith initially and was the founder of that group. By the way, I don't know if you knew this, Brother Kevin Wynn is a direct descendant of Joseph Smith. Now, I'm not sure exactly which of his 40 wives he's descended from or ever how many he had, But he is a direct descendant of Joseph Smith. But Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, and then when the farmers up in Missouri got tired of him marrying their daughters, they broke into the jail he was in and killed him. So now the Mormons say he was a martyr. and Brigham Young then took over and led them out to Utah. But the Marma talked about the Moonies a while ago. All of it was based on the teachings of a fellow named Sun Myung Moon, who I believe was from Korea. The Catholics center everything around the Pope. And so the cultist mindset is so totally absorbed in one individual that they get to the place that they believe that that individual, which is their leader, is incapable of error. And I'm going to tell you something. Any time that you get to the point that you think anybody is incapable of error, you're in error. And so, trademark number one is of cultists, faulty methods of biblical interpretation. Number two, trademark of cultists, they question the Bible. Now, they attack any passage which refutes their doctrine and they do it in one of two ways. Either number one, they'll say, that's not an accurate translation and shouldn't be in the Bible. For example, I have in my files the Mormon articles of faith. Now, here's what article number 8 says. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God, listen, as far as it is translated correctly. Well, what that simply means is that anything that disagrees with their doctrine in the Bible, they'll simply say that that wasn't translated correctly. say and it's not i remember one time a fellow that was a member of of one of these uh... uh... anglo-israelite called you know what i the british israel group the anglo-israel group that's the group that believes that the so-called can lost tribes of israel ultimately moved over to britain and then to america and so you know the brits and all of us are the lost tribes of israel But that's what the teaching is. A fellow came one time and was asking me a few questions. You know, I didn't know who he was, didn't know what he believed, but it was soon evident. And he really was attacking the Jews, specifically, you know, the word Jew comes from the tribe of Judah. So he was especially attacking the tribe of Judah. And I said to him, don't you realize that's a tribe Jesus came through? He said, where did you get that? So I turned to Hebrews chapter 7 and verse 14 and read that verse to him and pointed out that the verse tells us very clearly, for it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. You know what he said? That's not supposed to be there. They question the Bible in one of two ways. Number one, either that's not an accurate translation and shouldn't be in the Bible, or number two, they might say, well, that's symbolic language and doesn't mean what it says. The Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, they believe that hell is the grave, and so therefore how do they yet around the luke chapter sixteen verses nineteen to thirty one were killed or jesus told the the story about the rich man and a little uh... what they say it well uh... that's a parable well depending on what you mean by a parable now i don't like the parables or made up stories i think they really happened but it is interesting that in the story about the rich man in hell, even if you call it a parable, it's the only one that uses a proper name, tells us who the guy was, what his name was. No, the truth is, what they mean by a parable is a made-up story, and it's certainly not that, unless you want to call Jesus a liar, because he's the one that told it. Oh, that's simple. And in reality, how ludicrous is it to say that that's a parable as though that somehow lessens the severity of it? One thing that you can always count on with parables is this. The parable is never as great as the reality that the parable illustrates. So if the story of the rich man in hell is a parable simply illustrating something and the reality is always greater than the illustration, well, good night, read the account. That's not a pleasant thing. In fact, over time in the account the word torment is used. And so I'm trying to point out that the Jehovah's Witnesses will try to lessen the severity of what the Bible teaches about hell by saying that, well, that's a parable. In other words, it doesn't mean what it says. Well, if it's a parable, then how terrible must the reality be if the illustration... You understand what I'm saying? Am I just talking and nobody's understanding? If so, we'll just quit and go home. We'll have to do that in a minute anyhow. But that's symbolic. Now we all know the Bible does use symbolism. If you don't believe that, just read the book of Revelation. It uses symbolism, but it'll be obvious when it's doing so. There won't be any mistake about it. And so, trademarks of cults, number one, faulty methods of biblical interpretation. Number two, they question the Bible. Number three, they add extra-biblical revelation. In other words, they add to the Bible. Most cults won't come right out and say they don't believe the Bible, but what they will do is they'll add something to the Bible so as to disannul what the Bible says. They have to do this. They can't base their doctrine on Scripture alone. Thus, they have to have some other writings or some other revelation or something else besides the Bible to hold to. For example, I mentioned the Roman Catholic group. Now, they will tell you that they believe the Bible is the Word of God, but then they add to it. They also believe that the church traditions... And by the way, when you put everything else on the same level with the Bible, ultimately that thing will supersede the Bible in your mind. So they'll say they believe the Bible. They also believe the traditions, the church traditions. And they also believe that official decrees of the Pope, what they call the Pope speaking ex cathedra, when he's speaking in his official capacity as the Pope, that that's equal with Scripture. That, by the way, is where the unscriptural doctrine of the immaculate conception of Mary came from. And when you hear that expression, the immaculate conception of Mary, be sure you understand what that's talking about. That's not talking about Jesus being born of a virgin. Now, some people have thought, well, that's what that's talking about. No, no, no. That's what that's talking about and what the Roman Catholics' doctrine is about it is that Mary was born without sin. She had no originals. See, where'd that come from? That came from a pronouncement that the Pope made back in, I believe, the 1850s. And then the doctrine of the bodily assumption of Mary, that is, that Mary was taken bodily to heaven. You don't find any of that in the Bible. Where'd it come from? It came from an official decree of the Pope that he made, I think, in 1951. And so extra-biblical revelation. The Mormon group, now they say they believe the Bible to be the Word of God as far as it's translated correctly. They also believe several other things are the Word of God. They believe that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God. They believe that the book known as the Pearl of Great Price, not talking about the parable that Jesus told, but a book called the Pearl of Great Price, that's the Word of God. They believe that their book of the doctrines and covenants is the Word of God. And furthermore, they believe that any Mormon, what they call apostles, can write Scripture at any time, so they may get some more, you know. The Christian Science Group, they have added to what the Bible says through the writings of their founder and leader until she died, or until she thought she died, Mary Baker Patterson Glover Eddy. She had several names. She was married several times. But her writings is basically what the Christian science movements built. The Jehovah's Witnesses hold the writings of the founder, Charles Taze Russell, to be, at least in practice, if not in doctrine, to be superior to the Bible. Taze Russell said that a person would be—he wrote some some books called Studies in the Scriptures. And he said that a person would be better to read his book without the Bible than to read the Bible without his book. See? So they add extra biblical revelations. Now, God's attitude toward those who add to or take from the Bible is given at the very end of the Bible, almost the very last verse, two verses prior to the last verse, verses 18 and 19 of the last chapter of Revelation. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book." Sounds to me like God's not too excited about folks adding to the Bible or taking from it. Okay, now how about if I give you one more and then we take it up next Sunday night? That be okay? Thank you. Number four trademark of cult, they have an unscriptural concept of God. Now, the most concise thing that I could boil the Bible teaching about God down to is this. The Bible teaching is that there is one God who's manifested in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This one God in three persons is eternal and he's immutable, unchanging in his nature, his person, and his attributes. Now, I couldn't think of any way to make it any more concise than that. That's what the Bible teaches about God. Okay, now the cults have an unscriptural concept of God. For example, the Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity. They don't believe in the deity of the Son, and they don't even believe that the Holy Spirit is a person. uh... and uh... the mormons uh... bop what they used to teach i don't want to teach this anymore uh... but what the you used to teach is that god is god because he earned that right as a man by obeying the laws of mormonism uh... i don't know if you've ever heard that adam god theory that they had adam was really god the father So what I'm telling you is the cultist God is not the God of the Bible. Now, remember that. We'll pick up there next Sunday night. Father, would You please take the things that we're looking at now and we'll continue next week. I pray that You might help them to be used in such a way that might prevent
