We closed last Sunday in talking about pagan Christmas on the drunken festival Christmas pagan Christmas is this summer a shine on the Sun The Queen of Heaven. During these festival was celebrating the son of the Queen of Heaven in Obama gives Carolyn to one fellow Ben quips were given with only foot by game and up wrong and got good neighbors during that time in need of God strove to stem the tide but in spite of all other and friends the apostasy went on till the church where the exception of a small I'm not was some are used I don't pay good substitution . Christmas was a pagan festival and is still a pagan festival now do you want to know why Christmas was set on the 25th and he said Mary as the birth of their grace I'll tell you my name on the 25th of December. The sun reaches its father's point sound the earth and yes position. Is father's from the sun we are that Earth's 2nd is on the 25th of December when the sun seems to rest in its course the fact turns back and the days begins to get longer and the worse your prayer is of the Sun God set the 7 or 20 feet out as the day. I'm the son of the Queen of Heaven. That her pagan and I pay good my share now you get it and 318. 300 years after Christ was born Christianity in its peak on again. Conflict thing took pagan where our took time the pagan pagan set that day as the birth of Christ and called it Christ Mass. Change the height of the pagans or he didn't but Brunning into the Christian church with all the time they could muster I don't see if somebody did everywhere as the bridge there crazed crazed mass My friend Christmas and some pagan holiday. Back when they why should the Sun God and I'm wondering if that's not what you wish to be now was a pagan festival and is still a pagan festival that their name by which Christmas is properly done among us today if you are day. Is that it's pagan and came from the Bible and the what. Is the county a name for infant or little child. Or what he knew he would not do you know what they call this week I'm giving him in Bible they call it that drunken festival other day on. That's what they call a mother grow all monogrammed day fact he was their kid I was. Easter. I don't. Even bother heathen god is just the God is still spraying. And so it's called a day you Miss Ruth. That's the exact words they use the festival. They met together to celebrate the son of the queen mother which was the worship of the Sun God Now my frame where do you stand Are you a worshipper of Christ on a watch your prayer of the Sun God that is what it was called in Babylon and that's exactly what we have today Christmas week is nothing but a week. And drunkard and his God wants His people to have nothing to do with it let's not get another tax revelation 18 far come up higher money people crying John Boehner God Furthermore cannelure the Christmas tree the getting them gifts and the Mr Carew all came from the one. Let me stop here and recommend a book you read. If you don't have it when you get the name of that book is The 2 problems are the paperwork or by Alexander. I was not but when the hands on m.r. Radio listeners I am if you want the book like me I'm good your price on it do you see my friends how tricks used to daily are rapidly becoming pagan because they have taken up Christmas lock stock and barrel I mean that there are an open mind I'm is to see this pagan worship and separated me from it I'm drawing a line I want you people to be a separated people. Someone has said by the past do you expect to stem the tide of new. Ever growing from bad to worse as. They are hope that I have is like a brother in Hattiesburg said to me the other day said my student I'm glad I got used to you don't my eyes do this pagan worship I'm glad that I see the truth I said yes I am too now you may try to put your Jesus back in the Christmas because that Jesus you are sure may be an Idol may be. A figment of your imagination maybe I think any such maybe I taught you how. Far you are and I do worship are you ever stop to think of it do you know you are going to live increased big you know living room or peace. And he says Cut out my paper. Now we asked the question Should born again believers celebrate Christmas let me put it like this should born again believers celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus with millions who make profession of faith in the blood and who despise. And reject Him Those who know nothing about the blood of the Son of God should both be good believers celebrate Christmas with millions who claim to be Christians and yet deny him in works and testimony is it fitting that born again believers should unite with the enemies of Christ you know were really around our flesh gratification when you let me give this word testimony here. When I grew up as a child they all the time in my home that I ever saw. Was at Christmas time that's right they all time I ever saw drinking was in Christmas time celebrating so call on the birthday I'm Jesus should we just had those who cares I'm good at it drunkenness and revelry in the celebration of the birthday of the Lord Jesus all right then just found an Exodus 23 do actually 23 to listen that I shall not follow a multitude of to do evil I can speak for myself there's only one Joshua he said asked Bond be at my house we will serve heard brother that's my stand what are you going to do about it that's left entirely with you some cunt can't just mothers raise this question don't you think we ought to give the children a good time they don't understand but let me ask you this question Mother is it necessary to drag the holy name of our Blessitt blood down to the low level I place it gratification and drunkenness to show the kiddies a good time a 1000 times New Let's teach our children the truth about Christmas. God's word says anything are took bring our children up in the lurch and that when they should have the lured and why should we just honor the name of Christ in such a manner I didn't pretense I'm showing the children a good time there are 364 more days and they get here during which we can give gifts dried children don't give gifts now let's not get this pagan festival I didn't like your printer now they know and that is the giving of gifts in exchanging gifts we're not making gifts to Christ now. Who ever heard tell of it about to give the gift of Christ very soon or you give any more of your church now time during Christmas holidays you give less to your church because you spend more on your 7 on others that's. All right it's changing. We are not breaking against Christ. A list is kept and each year the. Gifts recede gives way to sin and this becomes the expense of a fire over a period of time that's a burden is laid upon the shoulders of many which you find hard to bear I departed from this custom years ago all you say about I don't sing guess my friend you don't think highly of me they're called me. And what must I do I'd say frankly do you know but your brains by word of mouth are little that you're thrilled that you have come to see there is no scripture for Christmas yet some pagan wash up and took on holiday and you can I guess I go look at it I'm going back now that's my stand I don't get to observe it. You got to make a decision but my decision has been made Let's look at another side of Christmas and that is the sending of so-called Christmas cards with a verse of scripture on them millions of religious people who love to be honest well tsunami a Christmas card without a verse of scripture on it which is simply a compromise with Sagan let me say my friend this is not going to be in the sight of good you may as well brothers children of mine you see Christmas is a pagan holiday. That came out of the battle of the city Oh I don't trade Christmas I originally it was the celebration of the Sun God are given America and the Bible says Big Easy separate no foul him with the young the works of darkness he also says Be not on equal Yupik gather Well unbelievers sure Christ have fellowship with Ben I'm. Sure they cut Adlard have no ship with David. Then why should you want to take God's word and link it to gather there when David worship God put being added What would you think of a person advertising a dance and at the bottom of that card how you want it John 316 suppose you're going to I didn't take the big dance and at the bottom card that was written out John 316 For God so loved the world that he gave his all a big got a son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have a mother Stigler me your God Holy smoke would you you'd say my not that father is crazy what would you think I'm going to pick a show advertising a Camry and at the bottom of then the Taishan should be written 1st Peter 11819 I know you would prefer it wouldn't you but my friend Christmas isn't even a holiday me and a Christmas card with of course a script John it is not a bomb and in the sight of good God I cry out in the same Iraq at the next year and I don't worship God and even Greetings now that that's Ok And when you're. Now you don't respect the priest open your eyes as he hears mine and let you see this drawing even and this does bring the name I bless a good hearted by connecting his name with Merry Christmas night happy such a cunt thank you not a single good night I'd be a crying Hyundai hear him for you never once from this pagan worship why because the coming of our Lord drove with not me and it won't be on I'm to really hear the cry gooey out to meet him Are you ready to meet him how would you like for the Lord to come and find you at a typical Christmas party feasting and drinking and making merry get into the fleshly desires. It reminded me of something as ago when I spent a week in the mountings of color California with my family we went out during area one day and I never saw as many near naked people in bathing in my night there is very little it was very little left to the imagination it was a pleasant day coup and a lot of looking inviting. And as I was asked to take us where I'm at Cigna I knew they wanted to know why I was finally told suppose my lord would come I'd hate to go to meet him from amid such a scene and he might say My child I leave you behind but we can be in the world but not of the world come here from among them is the cry be separate is the clear and call to everyone who professes the name Christ when you stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ what will your and so be how are you going to answer the Lord Jesus I was ever picture listen to me today would set an example before young people part I didn't take this said Let no man despise not you but be thou an example of the believers in in conversation in love in spirit in faith in pity I pity you preachers let's set the example let's reject the tradition of being and ever given holidays and less walk when I learned according to his word Let's live for Christ let the words they were please and think what they please but let this be our motto As for being in my house we want to serve the Lord and for to be turning him in Christ let's not dishonor his name no there is no place in God's word where we're ever permitted to celebrate the birthday of Christ but I tell you what he does command us to do. Instance celebrate his day and Paul writing to the Corinthian brothers and said This cup is the new testament in my blared this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me why as often as you eat this bread and drink this he does dance to me calms Paul Reading to the Corinthians again sad for I determined not to know anything among him save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Then again he says we preach Christ crucified I knew that he was a stumbling block and I'm to the Greeks who races but I do they which are cold both Jews and Greeks correct the power of God in the wisdom of. Again Paul writing to the Galatians said God but God forbid that I should lower a save in the cross Oh my Lord Jesus Christ by whom the earliest crucified under me and I own to the world I wonder what the death of crazed means to you my friend I wonder if you have ever sat down and thought seriously about your social condition have you as a last condemned center ever been made to lie at the feet of Christ crucified bearded risen as your substitute as your sin offering and cry for mercy can you look up and say when he was crucified for me he died for me he is mine he's my sin offering he died my Again he took a stroke in Kenya for me my friend do you know about pardoning Grace I do do you know that the shed blood of Christ has a good plan I do not post your hike I do I do you share that eat the blood of the Son of God I am do you don't hear I do cut you sank you needing he loved me dying he saved me there he cared my cd far away he'd run he justified me and I'm winning praise coming one day do you know Him Christ was born to die he didn't talk about his birthday he never did he pointed to Cyprus back to the day when he was barred but he was always telling him that he must go to. And suffer and be put to death and the 3rd day me he would rise again brother how many celebrate his day that will never celebrate his death and I was that the Us never put their stamp of approval on upon his crucifixion his burial his resurrection on him but again very very celebrate the death i'm our best and overheard and his resurrection. Every time they come I don't worship they say about his death they speak about his dying they glow read his resurrection they look for his coming you never hear born again believers talk about celebrating his birthday you may hear him speak about their 2nd birthday when they were born again and translated it to the kingdom of the son of good but they like those songs there's a founding filled with blood drawn from did not come spades etc is plugged beneath that lose all their duty stains are Amazing grace how sweet it sounds that's sad I mean it's like me I once was lost but now I'm fine Was Blind But Now I see the board a good looking for another that ever think he has ever where I am in cut up in the dance the burial and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus traced on state religion it is good so tired I hear you talk about the death of Christ and His resurrection they get so mad when you continue however on the one page. You know Christ they want you to go out and talk about holy living that people like in Christ are talking about letting each other and being kind of down in a most are something else rather close said I determined not to know really think along save Jesus Christ and Him crucified do you know Christ do you know him and you have been washed his blood do you know what his death means if not. God help mercy on your person to come out from among. Separate crime. My mare my woman my boy and my God. My preacher pretty common problem on the big right says our good where do you stand where you said the story of her death before when you think there's any you think all.

Oh oh oh in the hands of our best remembers now. 1090 k. a Y. Today in the world and in the church there seems to be a desire to have some kind of experience choices and decisions are made on feelings rather than facts well many have applied this to the issue of salvation and what it means to be a Christian but is an experience necessary for salvation Stay with us to find out oh no Marian using phone Lolis think oh no a very abusive persona Wohl kind these are handed them through do or be said to prove to you all over her group jeebies all over. The home Oh I agree this is Steve sweats and I welcome you to another edition of The Question and Answer program with our Bible teacher Dr j. Vernon McGee I hope that you'll be able to pull up a chair as we listen to his answers and to the questions of his many listeners this program is a ministry of the through the Bible radio network we begin our questions with this one from a listener in Coalinga California she writes in Exodus 7 it says that God hardened Pharaoh's heart could you explain the meaning of this. Well this is something that we want over some time ago and unfortunately the word Harden is a good word provided we understand what it means Hebrew scholar tells me that the meaning of it is it's like twisting a rope it's that connotation and what it really means is that what God was doing with fire although he was bringing out that which was already in his heart he made him face up to a decision he said I let the children of this real go but in his heart he didn't intend to do it and God made him face up to it God made him reveal what's in his heart and I think that today and this has been true always I think that there is a sense in that which that's true of every individual I think that God permits man they hear the Gospel and that they are forced to make a decision and some make a decision and games. But they are forced to make a decision concerning Jesus Christ is different than anyone else it doesn't make any difference what you think of Julius Caesar and are any politician that day about who you're going to vote far and you can argue that but did you know that 10 years from now it won't make any difference at all it will be in consequential about who you voted for it may affect on the national economy but as far you look at Cern it won't affect your eternal destiny at all of what you think of Jesus' death and therefore you are as it were your heart is harden in the sense God twists a rope and it makes you forces you to make a decision and Paul said something quite interesting to the Corinthians in this connection he said we are a savior of live under those that have saved and a savior of death and of those that are laws I feel my responsibility is to give out the Word of God and your responsibility is to respond and right now that people at a listening to this all over this nation of ours and they're making a decision there are some today that have nothing to do with the large Iesus But you see that's a hardening of the heart that is is forcing you to make a decision you have to make a decision concerning him and that is I think primarily the meaning of that not just force but they are all those who make a decision like that that's I've always said to my wife I agree with this that God was wise and not letting me be rich I might have made a wrong decision. If he had permitted me to because I have a tendency and that and the action got as kept me going to school I had to work I don't think it's been good for me to have been free to participate in all extracurricular activities because I go all the whole hog for everything you know and I think God has been good to me and that connection and therefore the law has to deal with many of us but he forces us there comes a time you come to the crossroads and you have to make a decision either for him are against him and that is a hardening you see a decision that is made the the floor are against it so that today my responsibility let me repeat it is to give out the Word of God Your responsibility is to respond and I am not responsible really for the decision that you make you are now I'm a saver and live if you're a saver not the gable and used to put it like ness sometime in say at the end of a mass it his invitation was a little different watching here today he says I have declared to you the gospel it's in your hands now my responsibility is and then and what you do with it is up to you I always thought that was probably the best way to give an invitation that is it's up to you you are the one that make up your mind in other words the rope has been twisted they hardening is taking place either it will turn to him and you'll be self and Elaine or you'll be hard some people have heard the gospel so much today that they're gospel hard I hope I've made that clear because it is a very important question that you've sent in. Moving on to our next question this listener writes I'm deeply disappointed in you for your criticism of the great institution of the church there are many people who believe in the organized church and many who need it could you elaborate on your position concerning this issue let me say 2 or 3 sayings that I should clarify partly for your thinking and my name for others too I was a pass over 40 years. I do think I have a past as heart I believe that I understand the pastor's problems I think I know something about the local church and the very fact that on our mailing list only have a several 1000 pastors now that receive our material I have invitation letter a letter from hundreds of churches that I cannot accept invitations I wish I could and it wonderful pastors across this country and they're doing a excellent job and the local church I guess happens to be God's plan and program and certainly radio is not the final answer by any means we think a lie that we're more or less of a service organization to good local churches now when you hear me criticize the church probably I should clarify that for folks like you as you think it's a general statement and ordinarily I do say something about liberal churches and liberal breakers and liberalism and that there isn't a past to say that I am the great denomination says no question about that I mean not goals now without saying I used to have to labor the point I don't anymore because no one can gainsay the fact that the great denominations and liberalism have just departed from they have Faith of Our Fathers and from the Word of God but there are many wonderful Bible churches and we support those you would be surprised at later Livni hundreds of churches we recommend the people who ride in who are moving from one place to another and they say we like to know all of that church and if we don't know about one we know somebody who does know and we always try to get people into a good Bible believing church. And I think that your predecessor is not well founded if you will take in consideration the total spectrum of what we say and that is the difficulty one of the great difficulties of broadcasting is the fact that people do not know you personally as they know you as a pastor and 2nd thing is they sometimes just catch one remark from a radio and they hang on to that one remark not realizing the context that goes with it and we have discovered that in many instances and that he has a problem and for us of course and we don't want to be misunderstood and I'm fraid that there spread a system is not really justly founded because we're not attacking a local church and we're not talking in liberalism but I tell it as it is and I do but down there and another question how the day of course and thought I was giving this is in hatred and bitterness well runs I have no hatred of betterness talk toward these men actually if anything I have any farther because many of them today are preaching to empty churches and they don't have a Sunday night service and some of these men are actually friends of mine a listener and Cochran California sent us this question could you explain the meaning of Matthew 16 verses 25 and 20 secs. This verse reads that I'm turning to now is Matthew 16 verses 25 and 26 whosoever will save his life shall lose it and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find what is a man prophet if he showed game the whole world and loses all I'm so watch on a man give in exchange for are his so now the home my to hear has nothing to do with salvation and he's talking about here but actually he's talking to them about following him about the Siple ship about servants this man Simon Peter is the one that has been talking to him he's been the spokesman in this particular section oh Lord has spoken to fight before on this rock below my church that is the rock this Christ by puts us on the rock no other foundation and any man laying than that which is late which is Jesus cries and he talks about the importance of witnessing that that he person is given the keys of the kingdom of heaven not just the one man our one church but every believer as a responsibility and then he began to talk to them about the fact he was the guy on the pros the raise from the day it and Peter you remember rebuked him for me and he told me says you're a fan son to me and then after that Jesus said If any man will come after me let him go not I'm Sam Thank of his cross and follow me so you see he's talking now about following him and it has therefore to do for us today not with the subject of salvation taught but comes into the realm of rewards all to get Long Beach California is the home for this next listener who writes Could you explain in light of Acts 21 verse 4 how Paul could be in God's will at the time that he went to Jerusalem when he was forbidden by the Holy Spirit not to go. Yes we'll be glad to turn to that and it says in verse 4 'd 'd Chapter 21 of acts and finding disciples we tatted our 7 days who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go to Jerusalem and may I say that also at that place you remember that he was tired and coalesce that would be the thing that would happen to him and the whole thing yes that their holy ghost was revealing to Paul what would happen to him if he went to Jerusalem and Paulo answered in very spared pain and Paul I am sort of what may need to weep and to break my heart for I am read in not to be bound only but also to die Jerusalem for the name of the large Eason's and then and when he would not be persuaded we see saying the will of the Lord be done the will of the Lord be done well in other words they were so close lipped bound to the Apostle Paul and it's very difficult for us in these days to fully appreciate the marvelous relationship that exists between 2 Christian brothers and that they are now among the Christian constituency especially in this day when Christian you know it tends to crucify Christian he unlovely attitude and the action of some today is almost unspeakable friends you just have to be in a position that I am in to really see this thing sometime and it's one of most distressing things of the hour that I was the day that they publicly Taleban how much they love the Lord Jesus they call him the lovely large Jesus and here and maybe to them I do not know I can understand their attitude and action toward other believers attempting to crucify them. Actually wrecked the ministry some other my and I've seen that here and several instances and this they have apostasy they get by with it make those people don't seem to think that's wrong just so your fundamental 'd and talk about the fact you believe the Bible well believe the Bible means to act upon it of course I have certainly had this thing that is altogether wrong now to properly understand what that wonderful relationship among believers we need to be back in the atmosphere of that early church where the Holy Spirit was making this thing so real to them and how they loved each other now these people love Paul and the Spirit of God was revealing that he should not go to Jerusalem because he was the dive that I be arrested that bonds and imprisonment he was told awaited in the way well he said I don't mind that I'm willing to lay down my life that and I saw that they were letting their own personal feelings and their bluff appall get in the way and they said then let's let the will of God be done I believe with all my heart Paul was in the well and gone when he went to Jerusalem and you are verse and this entire context does not at all militate against that position let me assure you our next question is from a listener in Los Angeles who writes Do you believe to be a Christian one must have an experience in feel it at a definite time. All right now let's look at that for just a moment because this party has been made to feel very bad about it all because she's been made to believe I did not have what preachers call an experience sometimes I feel afraid he may say Depart from Me I never know you now let's look at what is the one condition of salvation and just one not a half a dozen all said to the full Libyan jailer believe you on the large isas Christ and thou shall be saved and I House and that means that the House must believe on a large Eason's Christ and then I openly say believe on a large Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved now if there ever was of time one Paul should have and could have put down other conditions if they were essential This was said because Philip in jail has just asked the question What must I do to be say and what does he tell him is he saying believe in big bad times believe and have an experience believe in join the church believe and repent believe and do something no test believe it and it's faith Plas nothing that saves faith plus nothing you see faith plus nothing rests upon the grace of God it takes God that is word you see Abraham believe God It says that Abraham believed God he didn't count the deadness say resume and his own body being dead now Abraham knew that humanly speaking he could not have a son humanly speaking it was impossible for him to have a son and he did I say or how is it accomplish by faith he believed go he believed God Now that's all God asked today. Now a saving faith and I do contend for this produces works it's to be sure faith without works is dead say saving faith leads to something it is just like saying that an apricot tree produces apricot but you've got to have the tree friends and tell you have faith in the large Jesus crowd you're not saved the minute you put your faith and in your say now that rests entirely upon God Now that faith is a living faith and it does produce something and I do believe that a person that trusts Christ at the time I have no experience but I do believe that in you Christian life there are times when I make it through a sermon or through a message and song are through a service or through reading of the scripture yourself are going through some trying experience and you see the hand of God and you get an answer to prayer all of these things can cause a person to have an experience but experience has nothing in the world to do with your salvation whether you have it or don't have it's faith in Christ that saves you and if you see that then you have come to a place of peace and the peace of God will keep your harms But if you're thinking that my I'm just fate I have that experience and therefore I just know that he may say to me someday I don't know you well you're not trusting him are you you don't have confidence in him at all father says to a child come to me in the child says I'm a fright clown Well the child's not believe in the Father but if the child believes the father and the child will come running you see and then the father will receive the child that the child may have the experience of the great joy of being received by the fog but it must be confidence we dishonor God when we don't believe him and his faith class and I think I say this you dishonor God when you don't believe him and you honor him when you. And when you don't believe in and start looking for an experience and put your salvation on that my friend definitely you're in a precarious position not only a precarious position but you're in a position where you not only raise a question about your own salvation but you raise a question about the truth of God's word and about whether God can be trusted or not you say learn to trust God rest in Him for our final question today we'll turn to this one from a listener in Salem Oregon he writes What are the major and minor differences in the Armenian and Calvinistic doctrines when you say that major and minor differences are not minor differences they're all Major let me tell you but the important distinction is actually it rests on the doctrine of election and that of free will and he emphasis and one is put on God and on the other it's put on man now you can be an extremist in both direction. The extreme viewpoint of Election has dried up all of that Angeles and missionary activity because they don't go far it at all and on the other hand they offices on the free will of man and the human side has led to humanism and it's led the liberal as of today very frankly to extremes like you to guard against Now both groups when they're not extremists and they believe the Word of God they preach salvation by faith and prides and it is what they lead to one could lead in to any extreme you point in one direction the other can lead into extreme viewpoint and the other an action and that of course as brought in humanism today it brought in Liberalism into the church and I have always tried to guard against Arminianism because that actually was my background as I came along.
