Welcome to Bible Believers Fellowship and the ministry of bbfohio.com. I'm Pastor Greg and I welcome you to our current events update and then our study in 1 Timothy chapter 1 verse 4 titled Fables and Endless Genealogies. The conclusion of this two-part message can be found at bbfohio.com as we now begin with part 1 of 2. Current events update, which we always have began since October. We've been beginning with Israel at war. Today is day 62624, day 263 by my count. Still 120 hostages, 50 plus believed to be deceased. No real changes over the last few days as far as the hostages are concerned. And the Jew haters continue to fail to call for their release. It's just an amazing thing, you know, that those of us who support Israel, if it were somehow on the other foot, we would be calling for the hostages, the innocent civilians to be released. And the other side on this, the leftists and all the people who hate the Jews, they just care less about those hostages and gallant. came to America, the United States, and met with the Biden administration in Washington, D.C., and he said that the meetings yielded progress on the arms holdup. Netanyahu has been saying that they've been holding up the arms that they agreed to send. Biden has said that that's not true. Then Gallant comes over here and basically Biden and his administration admits it is true. But that doesn't matter, Netanyahu's still the bad guy. That's your news media. And there is a continual left-right strife in Israel, just like here in the United States. Gantz is another character in this, he's a leftist. He accused Netanyahu of harming ties with the US. I mean, it's a time of war. You just think they dropped the politics. But he wants to be prime minister. So that's what that's all about. He's in what's called the National Unity Party. Does that sound familiar? The leftists are always saying they want to unify the country. Biden gets up there and says, I want to unify the country. Meanwhile, I'm going to demonize half the country. Well, he's in that party, Benny Gantz. He threw his support behind Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that the latter is, quote, harming the strategic relationship with the United States. He was right. Something's being done about it because he complained, but somehow that's wrong. And the headline was, the defense minister trades jabs with Netanyahu over whether Spatz should have gone public. Yeah, that's the only reason they're getting anything done is because he went public. So, and we continue in the meantime to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee, Psalm 122.6. That's what the map still looks like in that region. and we will continue to stand with Israel. Number two, illegals kill. Not all illegals. See how that works? Donald Trump, back in 2016, 2015, I think, when he first said that they're sending over their killers and their drug pushers and drug addicts and the rapists and everything, He didn't say that all Mexicans are those things, but that's how your lying fake news media reported it. And it's a fact that our crime rates and murder rates are going up because of the illegals coming in. Not all of them are killers, not all of them are rapists and so forth. We have enough problems in this country, we don't need to import more killers, more rapists, more drug pushers, that's the point. And President Joe Biden and his army of Marxist devils do not care. And I'm going to play this little clip about it. Police have tracked down a killer whose crimes spanned the country. The man accused of killing a Maryland mother of five on a popular hiking trail has been captured in Oklahoma. Rachel Marin was dragged from a hiking trail in Maryland where she was raped and murdered. Hernandez allegedly has ties to the notorious MS-13 gang and entered the country illegally in February of last year. The sheriff says that he fled to the U.S. illegally after murdering a woman in El Salvador in January of 2023. Just one month before he entered the U.S. last year, Interpol issued an arrest warrant for Hernandez. We are 1800 miles away from the southern border and the American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies. This is the second time in just two years that an innocent Hartford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country illegally. As far as I'm concerned, the Biden administration has the blood of Rachel Moran in their hands. Two officers were shot overnight. The suspect also shot in the exchange of gunfire. Police also say that suspect Bernardo Raul Castro Mata currently resides at a migrant shelter not too far away from here. Christian Inga was arraigned today in New York City on charges of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl after school last week in a shocking daylight attack. Police say the 25-year-old migrant from Ecuador approached two teens in the park at knifepoint. According to the criminal complaint, the suspect tied the boy and girl to one another, gagged them, then raped the girl before fleeing the scene. Police say Inga entered the US illegally through Eagle Pass, Texas back in 2021, We've also learned from law enforcement here in New York that Christian Ingelandi was actually ordered to go back to Ecuador just a year later in 2022. Had he been deported, we may not have this case, but it's really struck a chord with people here in New York City, but even people around the country. A guerrilla gang known as Tren de Aragua has victimized thousands through extortion, drug and human trafficking, kidnapping and murder. And now U.S. law enforcement, including Customs and Border Protection and the FBI, say the gang has made their way into the country. U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, who has confirmed multiple arrests of alleged Tren de Aragua members over the last year, issued a warning in early April after reporting yet another arrest. Watch out for this gang, he said. It is the most powerful in Venezuela, known for murder, drug trafficking, sex crimes, extortion, and other violent acts. Today, an illegal immigrant who killed someone in Troy is set to be sentenced. Carlos Corrales Ramirez pleaded guilty to the deadly stabbing last month. He admitted to killing a man near River and Dow Streets last September. The Honduras native was also charged with a stabbing in Maryland last February. He was arrested for that crime but was later released because Maryland officials never extradited him. Eight individuals, all from the Central Asian country of Tajikistan, were arrested in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. They entered the United States this year and in 2023, crossing the Mexican border. They were vetted and allowed to remain in the country. CBS News has learned further investigation uncovered the men had possible ties to ISIS-K. Five men in the U.S. illegally were arrested Monday morning in Northeast Missouri after a teenage girl was reported missing in Indiana. The suspects are accused of kidnapping the 14-year-old from her home. They were tracked down in Macon County. All five of these men are charged with second-degree kidnapping and first-degree endangering the welfare of a child. in the brutal abduction and murder of a 12-year-old Texas girl whose body was found dumped in a bayou. Police arrested 21-year-old Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and 26-year-old Franklin Jose Pina Ramos, both illegal migrants from Venezuela. Surveillance video appeared to show both men with the girl just hours before she was found dead. Both men have been charged with capital murder. Critics blaming Jocelyn's death on President Biden's border policies. You think? That's some ugly stuff, and I know you don't really care to watch it, but imagine if you were one of those families. And the time for keeping everything nice and pretty is over. People need to understand what they're doing to this country, what they're doing to the people in this country, the children, These girls, I mean, just mostly girls. There's some young men getting caught up with it as well. And by the way, the end of that showed a Trump campaign thing. I'm not endorsing Donald Trump because I don't have to endorse Donald Trump. If you've got any brains, you know not to vote for Joe Biden. and I want you to vote for somebody else, fine. But RFK is all for killing the babies and climate change and all that nonsense. But these pictures, all those people are dead. You want to know what one of my stupid daughters said to me right before they stopped talking to me? Your chances of being murdered are still higher with American citizens than it would be from an illegal. You're more likely to be murdered by an American than an illegal. Think how stupid that is. So what? You want to increase the murder rate? As long as I'm still more likely to be killed by an American, it's okay? Folks, that is not intellectual. That is spiritual. That's talking about your children, your nieces and nephews, your parents, your aunts and uncles, your neighbors, your fellow Christians. If they say something that's stupid, there's something wrong with their soul. And there's something wrong with most of the professing Christians in this country, I'm here to tell you. Number three. Just various facts and short clips. The globalist elite continue poisoning the masses. PSA for anyone going to the grocery store. Yes, even natural health food stores. Next time you're in the produce aisle, please be on the lookout for this label. And whatever you do, do not go near it. Appeal, or EdAppeal, is a World Economic Forum and Bill Gates-funded product that is being sprayed on fruits and vegetables, which are on the verge of spoiling, so that they appear fresh and last longer. Even more frightening is the fact that a peel has been approved for use on USDA organic produce under the name OrganiPeel. The main ingredient found in the appeal coating is mono and diglycerides which are extracted from grapeseed oil. This is then processed with the use of two solvents which are ethyl acetate and heptane, both of which are hazardous chemicals known to seriously damage internal organs in the case of repeated exposure. This coating cannot be washed off. Additionally, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, recognized glycitol on the same ingredients as, quote, probably carcinogenic to humans. So why are they spraying this literal poison on our food? Well, ironically, the appeal coding is generally recognized as safe, meaning the safety review was completed by the food and chemical industry as opposed to the FDA. Not that they're at all better. And while the approval process for these toxic solvents are rather unclear, one thing is for certain. Appeals should be kept far, far away from our food supply. The ability of this $2 billion Bill Gates-backed startup to just quietly slip in to extend the life of food with absolutely zero proof of preserving any nutritional value should remind every American of the importance of eating organic, local, and chemical-free food. But if the evidence here isn't enough to convince you, take a look at what Appeal allegedly does to the food itself. When she opens it, And she breaks it in half, it gets very tough. It doesn't really break. And when it pulls, it's like it's glue. Avocado. It's not even breaking, like at all. And I know you guys can't feel the texture, Avi, right, because it's a video, but like... It literally feels fake. Is it clear yet? The tyrannical globalists will stop at nothing to completely railroad anyone trying to live a wholesome, healthy life. They'll do anything to try and kill off the resistors who refuse to align with their dystopian, dismal future, where you'll be forced to eat bugs and own nothing and be happy. It's time to start growing your own food or buying food from your local farmer's market if you don't already. These megalomaniacs are on a mission to destroy all that is good in this life and we absolutely cannot let them win. The only thing I disagree with her on is they're not just trying to kill conservatives. That's who she's talking about. They don't care. They want to kill. That's what the liberals are too stupid to understand that the elites want them dead too. I mean, that goes back to the communist era. When the communists took over, the first thing they did was come in there and kill the liberals who were their best friends before they took over. And then there's this. Do you guys know what the most toxic thing in your home environment is? Alright, I'll tell you what it is. It's fragrance. Did you know that? Isn't that crazy? So anything that smells like apple summer rain, or fresh flowers from the garden, or lavender mist. Those are all made with toxic chemicals. And what a lot of these companies do is they disclose certain ingredients that are pretty neutral. But then they hide all these toxic chemicals under the fragrance. And it's called their own original IP. It's like their secret sauce. So they don't have to disclose it. So we then are putting it on our skin. We're inhaling it. And they're known carcinogens. They are hormonal disruptors. If it's a carcinogen, it causes cancer. The fragrances have styrene, they have beta-mercine, phthalates, aldehydes, parabens, all cause cancers, asthma and allergy. People die of allergies and asthma not realizing it's the fragrances. It's not just the flowers that cause you problems. Petroleum-based fragrance accelerants are the ones that really make me sick. I can't smell it. A lot of these fragrances, I don't even smell the fragrance, but it smells like something's burning. And then I get a headache starting up here. I get nauseated, and then if I don't get out and away, I get sick. And that's mostly your perfumes and colognes, but other things like plug-ins and all that. It has mineral spirits, naphtha, kerosene, and a thing called benzene, which they've started to use less, but it's still found in a lot of products. So they're trying to kill you, and this is the spirit that you'll see behind these people who are doing this, this sweet little old reprobate who's gonna serve Satan right up till she takes her last dying putrid breath. And I'm telling you, probably 60 to 70% of our elderly population is right here on your screen, right here. So here's the thing now in Arkansas, and much of the South, I'm afraid, and probably every red state in the country. If you are anything other than a white, straight man, your life is in danger. Your rights are already being taken away. Wake up, people. Vote. For crying out loud, register. Vote. Follow what's going on, pay attention. I don't have much longer to live in this world, a lot of you do. For crying out loud, protect yourself, protect your children, get involved, register, vote, let your voice be heard. I'd like to, if I could reach through this and grab you by the throat and tell you how important this is. And quite frankly, I marched for all this back in the 60s and now I have to do it again. What the is wrong with you? The devil started to come out there at the end. Folks, that's what you're dealing with. That's what you're doing. That's who these people are. And she's upset about setbacks to abortion, which is a fancy name for murdering unborn children. She's upset about the setbacks to sodomite rights, which is a, they call it gay rights, LGBTQ rights, which is a cover for chemical castrations and bodily mutilation of children. It's also representing drag exposure and grooming of children. They're upset because of setbacks for gun control, which means confiscation of your guns. They're upset about setbacks to their global warming and climate change agenda, which is a cover for carbon taxes and other Marxist control of the economy. That's all that is. And that's what they're upset about. So look at sweet little lady. I'm telling you, that's what senior citizens in the United States of America, that's why so many of them belong to AARP. And no matter how wicked AARP is, those people stay with that organization. And then you got the, what's it called, AMAC that it came out with Chuck Woolery, you know, as the spokesperson telling you, we won't support abortion. We won't support this wicked stuff. And they only have like 2.2 million members. Did you just join that? I just joined that. It's for 50 and over. AMAC. I ought to get some pamphlets. Have them send them to me. I can put them out for everybody. So that be informed, pray and act accordingly. Alright, 1 Timothy 1, chapter 1, verse 4. Fables and endless genealogies. We're going to continue our study of 1 Timothy 1 with a close look at Paul's admonition. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies. And we're going to read, I want to read off verses 1 through 4. And then we're going to zero in on verse 4. So I'll have you read the even with me. So I'll start with verse one. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God, our savior and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope unto Timothy, mine own son in the faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God, our father and Jesus Christ, our Lord. as I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith. So do, amen? So we're going to look closely there at verse four, we're going to see what he means there by fables and endless genealogies that minister questions, and what's he mean by godly edifying. So Paul sent Timothy to Ephesus, and he left him there, and he left him to stand as pastor. And that's what I'm doing to the best of my ability. And I appreciate those of you who appreciate that because it's not the way to win friends and influence people. And a lot of people think I'm a nut and think you're nuts for being here. They call us a cult and so forth. And I stand here over and over and tell you, just tell them to get in a time machine and go back to 1960 or previous. I mean, they could probably see most of this in the 70s and 80s and 90s as well. But if they go back to about 1960, all the churches in town were cults, just like us. What's that tell you? This is Christianity. This is what it has been at least as far as anyone on record remembers going back to the Reformation. And so what we're dealing with today is no different than what Paul was dealing with back then. And he's telling Timothy to stand because they're teaching all this nonsense doctrine. I don't have time over a period of a year we could come on Wednesday nights and I could go over all the false doctrines being taught in evangelical churches alone. I could spend the entire year every Wednesday and still not cover it all. Kid you not. And that's why he's telling Timothy in verse four, neither give heed to fables. And he's telling Timothy to tell this to others. Of course, he takes for granted that Timothy is not going to give heed to fables. And I'm glad he felt that way about Timothy. But I'm here to tell you that most of the men who have told me they were called to preach fell into fables. Most of the men who told me they were called to preach, I spent time helping them, counseling them, trying to guide them. And I've listened to preachers, some of them very well-known preachers, by the way, who also gave the same testimony, men that were ministering from 60, 70, 80, 90s into the 2000s. And so much time they spent just basically mentoring. And those men ended up going off the deep end. One preacher, I was down in, well I don't have to tell you details, I'll just tell you this. I was out on the street with some fellas, and this guy comes pulling up in a Mary Kay pink Cadillac, And he wants to talk to me. So I think, well, he's wanting to talk about the Lord or something. Turned out, he used to be a part of the group that I was with, the local church that I was ministering with at the time. And he was one of their bright bulbs they thought was really gonna do something. Next thing you know, he was off into the charismatic thing. And then his wife got into the Mary Kay thing, and they, you know, so they drove their pink Cadillac. And it was just a strange conversation. Then he left, and one of the other fellas came up and said, what he had to say. I said, well, he was telling me he used to be a part of this, and he misses it. Huh, that's interesting. And then he told me his story. And, you know, I had only been a Christian for a short time when that happened. I thought, wow, how sad is that? This guy had an opportunity to be a part of a real good, fundamental, evangelical, evangelistic, Bible-believing church ministry and probably would have been the next pastor or they put him up in a church somewhere where he could pastor. And he blew it! And I thought, how shameful. Well, since then, I found out that's not the exception. Actually, the exception is that a man says he's called to preach and he stays the course. And I believe the same thing would come out of Paul's mouth if he were standing here right now. He would tell you about all the people that he put time and effort in.
