Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today

00:05

I want to thank you very much for joining me for this podcast So a couple of weeks ago

00:11

Todd white was preaching at his church And this sermon made quite a bit of waves and and rightly so I've seen a couple of different YouTube channels

00:24

Do a video on this and that kind of alerted me to it and I found the original link and I watched the sermon myself and I Just I tell you this is going to be a painful video to watch

00:42

Todd white is preaching on 2nd Corinthians 5 21 and many of you watching this, you know it by heart

00:52

He made him referring to God making Christ God the Father making the

00:57

Son But he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us So that we might become the righteousness of God in him

01:06

Now I want to show you a couple of clips from this sermon and I'll just let you

01:13

See this for yourself and a couple of at some points along the way I will stop and have some commentary and Todd if you by some chance are watching this or if One of Todd white's friends is watching this video, please

01:29

Todd watch the video all the way to the end one of your friends watching this video

01:35

Please if you care about Todd white, please get this video to him and ask him to watch it

01:42

Here we go with the sermon Because let's never forget. It's all this stuff. Like when we say

01:47

Jesus who knew no sin became sin So that we might become The righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in Corinthians, right?

01:57

Jesus became a gossip a murderer Full of strife deceit and malice wasn't in his mouth.

02:04

It was on his body. Oh You have to hear this man

02:11

Jesus who knew no sin became sin Paul describes sin

02:20

Gossip slander imagine Jesus as a gossip you can't He didn't do it.

02:26

He became it I'm like seeing this for the first time like I've read the scripture so many times when

02:35

I'm seeing it and I'm like you became gossip You may already be able to tell kind of where this is headed

02:44

It's gonna get a lot worse, but I notice what he said. He said I'm seeing this for the first time

02:51

He's read this verse before but now for the first time he's beginning to contemplate its meaning and I want to pause there because Here's what

03:02

I've observed from Todd white in the last year or so summer of last year 2020 when he made his big

03:08

You know quote -unquote repentance that was that lasted all of a week

03:14

Was not real repentance But Todd white talked about how for the first time he was seeing that oh, wow

03:21

You've you've people have to realize they're sinners before the cross makes any sense He was reading

03:27

Ray Comfort, which is good and Charles Spurgeon, which is good. And so Here this this really reminded me

03:35

This sermon of what he said last year. He's kind of seeing this for the first time. Here's my point If you were if you were for the first time

03:47

Contemplating a text like 2nd Corinthians 521 You've got no business being behind the pulpit

03:55

Here's what's going on. The sense I get is that like Todd white is for the first time beginning to read some

04:05

Some pretty good sources, you know, if he's reading Spurgeon like he says he is that's good And so for the first time in his life

04:11

He's beginning to see some things that he's never seen before He does not understand what he's doing

04:18

Does not understand the the the meaning of Scripture the meaning of the gospel doesn't understand imputation

04:25

And yet he and yet he's a preacher So what's happened what you're about to see here is akin to Giving a six -year -old keys to a

04:36

Lamborghini Okay, not a good idea I was talking with Jim Osmond pastor friend of mine about this very video

04:43

I let him listen to it. He was anyway, let him listen to it Wasn't able to watch but he heard the audio and he said it's like giving a two -year -old a hammer

04:52

You know You give a two -year -old a hammer and you you don't know what he's gonna hit or what kind of damage he's gonna do

04:58

Todd white is doing all Kinds of damage because he doesn't have any idea

05:06

What he's doing he is he is for the first time in his life beginning to see something now

05:12

I'm not saying he's regenerate. I'm not saying that at all. In fact towards the end of the video I'll talk about why

05:17

I don't think he is At all, but I want that for him, but he's got no business being behind the pulpit

05:24

You know, my wife made an illustration one time Shared it with me and I thought it was really good and I've used it several times since so I'll Credit her for those of you who have not heard me say this.

05:35

She made the point. It's a excellent observation in every area of life

05:41

We seek out the best, right? We want the best doctor to give us medical care.

05:48

We want the best dentist to fill our cavities We seek out people who are trained in their profession experts in in their field of Expertise we want the best even with things that are not as important We want you know, we want a good mechanic to fix our car

06:10

We want a good plumber to fix our leaky sink We don't call some we don't seek out people to do things for us that have no idea what they're doing

06:21

We want the best, right? So, how is it that in the one area of life that is by far by far the most important the the nurturing in in feeding of our souls on the

06:39

Word of God Anything will do You know, that's that's okay.

06:45

You know anything will do you know when it comes to rightly dividing God's Word of truth and in France there is no more

06:54

There is no greater responsibility Than to preach God's Word no greater responsibility to preach

07:02

God's Word And yet so many people who profess to be Christians profess to be

07:08

Christians are perfectly satisfied with any with any guy or gal unfortunately for many professing

07:18

Christians to to get up and in Preach from God's Word and supposedly nurture our eternal souls and help us to understand

07:26

God better. I anything will do Anything will do that's okay. You know, if he doesn't know what he's doing, that's no big deal.

07:33

It's just preaching. It's just preaching Todd White has no idea what he's doing and you're about to see this is about to get a lot worse

07:45

What it's hard for us to think about it because Jesus never gossiped

07:52

But he became gossip On the tree became gossip on the tree became slander.

08:01

Did he slander? No, he became it Did he deserve it? Are you kidding he never sinned he he was with the

08:10

Father in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and The Word was God Jesus was always with God Father Son and Holy Spirit always together

08:21

It's crazy to see this He became it He became insulin.

08:27

He became haughty became boastful became an inventor of evil. Jesus became an inventor of evil on that tree

08:35

Jesus became an inventor of evil One of the sins listed in Romans chapter 1 this describes those who are unregenerate people who have been given over To a depraved mind and Todd White says

08:49

Jesus became an inventor of evil And it gets worse

08:58

Jesus became child pornography on the tree Listen Jesus became full of pornography on the tree.

09:10

Jesus became a thief on the tree. Jesus became addiction on the tree

09:18

Jesus became a hater of God on the tree. What does it mean for him to become sin

09:27

Jesus became lost on the tree Jesus became child pornography.

09:36

Jesus became lost Jesus became

09:41

Satan worship on a tree. Are you hearing me?

09:48

This is really hard to even say Yet it's true

09:54

What does it mean that he who knew no sin became sin? Jesus became bestiality on a tree

10:10

Bestiality Jesus became bestiality on a tree It gets worse

10:18

Jesus became sex trafficking on a tree. Oh My gosh

10:28

Jesus became every lustful thought on a tree. It's no joke.

10:35

It's real Jesus became child molester on a tree.

10:44

That is absolutely Disgusting Utterly Reprehensible Disgusting blasphemy utter and sheer

10:58

Blasphemy, I have never I don't I don't think I have ever in my life

11:04

Heard anything more disgusting than that and that comes after years decades of Listening to the likes of Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn Utterly reprehensible this is why a

11:23

Preacher is not to be a new convert One of the reasons

11:29

I'm not saying Todd White is I don't believe that he is I don't believe the man is regenerate

11:35

I don't see how you could be Indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God and say such things utterly disgusting

11:44

Like the six -year -old with keys to a Lamborghini or a two -year -old with a hammer He has absolutely no idea what he's doing.

11:52

He has no business doing what he's doing So, let's look at the text shall we let's go to 2nd

12:00

Corinthians 5 21 He made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in him and Below this

12:11

I have it for you there in Greek and the pertinent phrase here in 2nd Corinthians 5 21 both in English and in Greek there

12:18

I have highlighted in red So the literal rendering of this in Greek is the one not having known sin

12:29

For us sin he made now Greek word order is often very different than it is in English But it says the one not having known sin, of course referring to Jesus He God made sin for us made

12:44

Jesus sin on our behalf Now dear friends, this is not saying that Jesus literally turned into sin in the ontological sense

12:56

Jesus did not become sin by his character in his nature. He did not literally turn into sin

13:04

Jesus was made an offering for our sin. Jesus was treated by God on the cross as Though he were a sinner even though he was not one of the fundamental rules of biblical hermeneutics is that scripture interprets

13:22

Scripture and so let's go to another text this one in the book of Romans Romans chapter 8 verse 3 that has much the same

13:30

Idea in view here. Okay Romans 8 3 and I'll put it for you in English and in Greek Paul writes for what the law could not do weak as it was through the flesh

13:43

God did Sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin

13:52

Whenever you see words that are italicized that means that they're not actually in the Greek text

13:57

They're supplied by the translators to make the meaning clear in fact look down I have it for you in Greek in red there and the

14:07

Greeks literally says and for sin You see that word

14:13

Offering is not there in the Greek the Greek just literally says that part of the verses and for sin so an offering

14:21

That's not in the text It's supplied by the translators because that is the that is the idea that is conveyed so friends

14:31

Jesus was not Literally made sin. He did not turn into sin.

14:36

He did not metamorphosis. He did not change Character in nature and turn into sin itself

14:44

He was made an offering for our sin. It's a very big difference

14:49

Okay, I want us now to look at the Old Testament Sin offering that is described in Leviticus chapter 6.

14:57

Okay, so let's look at this Leviticus chapter 6 verses 24 through 29 Then the

15:02

Lord Yahweh spoke to Moses saying speak to Aaron and to his sons saying This is the law of the sin offering in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the

15:15

Lord it is most Holy the priest who offers it for sin shall eat it

15:21

It shall be eaten in a holy place in the court of the tent meeting anyone who touches its flesh will become consecrated again reflecting its holiness and When any of its blood splashes on a garment in a holy place you shall wash what was splashed on Also the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel

15:43

Then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water Every male among the priests may eat of it.

15:49

It is most holy So dear friends in the Old Testament even in the

15:55

Old Testament. We were dealing with animals That were sacrificed as a sin offering they were considered holy

16:02

They were considered holy before the sacrifice. They were considered holy During the sacrifice they were considered holy after the sacrifice.

16:12

Let's look at Exodus chapter 12 verse 5 Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old.

16:20

You may take it from the sheep or from the goats an Unblemished male again denotes the idea of holiness

16:30

Friends think about this if an animal if a sheep or a goat

16:35

Was considered holy before it was sacrificed while it was being sacrificed

16:41

And then after it was sacrificed and these things were only Shadows these things just Foreshadowed what was to come but if these animals were considered holy how much more so?

16:56

The eternal Son of God how much more so the thrice holy? Son of God Who offered his life on the cross?

17:07

the lamb without blemish Dear friends Jesus was holy before the cross

17:13

Jesus was holy on the cross and Jesus remains holy today after the cross he did not literally turn into sin and the how how anyone could say that Jesus was

17:31

It's hard for me to even repeat it but a child molester on the cross

17:37

I Oh Utter blasphemy Jesus did not turn into sin.

17:45

He was made an offering for our sin. This was a judicial thing our sin

17:51

Was imputed to Christ it was it was Credited if you will to Christ account and when

17:59

God saves us the punishment that Jesus bore on the cross to pay for the sins of his people fully satisfied

18:11

God's righteous wrath the full undiluted fury of God's wrath was poured out on his eternal and Holy Son and Jesus perfectly satisfied that perfect wrath and when

18:27

God saves us the righteousness of Christ is Imputed to us it is it is credited to us

18:36

We become righteous not because we have any inherent righteousness because we don't as Christians we have been described as simile justice at Peccator now, that's

18:51

Latin that's a phrase from Martin Luther's a Latin phrase and it simply means that we are at the same time just and Sinners we are

19:02

Sinners as Christians you and I sin 1st John 1 9 was written to believers So yes, we we still sin as believers not like we did before we were converted

19:13

There should be a decreasing pattern of sin in our lives, but we still from time to time

19:18

Sin, we we do sin. So even though I as a Christian I am still a sinner

19:26

But when God sees me Judicially, he looks at he looks at at this frail sinner

19:35

And he sees the righteousness of Christ Why because my sin was imputed to Christ on the cross his?

19:45

Righteousness is imputed to me. It is counted. It is credited to my account and so I have the righteousness of Christ even though at the same time

20:00

Left to myself my own character my own nature. I am I'm nowhere near is righteous as Christ is left to myself, but I have the covering of Christ I have it's

20:12

I have the the righteousness of Christ that has been imputed credited to my account. I am a

20:18

Sinner, but at the same time just I am just and at the same time a sinner

20:24

When Jesus was on the cross, he did not turn into sin he was not a sinner, but he was treated by God as though he were and Think about it this way difference if Jesus actually turned into a couple points on a mic if Jesus actually turned into sin

20:45

Then the wrath of God that that was poured out on him was actually deserved

20:52

But friends that you've completely gutted the gospel with that The whole point of the gospel is that Jesus bore

21:01

God's wrath Even though he did not deserve it.

21:06

He did not deserve it. But if he actually turned into sin Then he did deserve it, but he didn't

21:14

That's the whole point of the gospel Jesus bore the wrath of God That you deserve and that I deserve he bore it on our behalf and he satisfied

21:25

Satisfied God's wrath because he never was a sinner nor did he ever turn into sin

21:32

God treated him as though he were a sinner But he never was and he certainly did not turn into sin.

21:39

So that's one point. Another point is this If Jesus actually turned into sin

21:45

Then you have completely destroyed Immutability now immutability.

21:51

That's a big $3 word But all it means that is the theological truth that God does not change

21:58

He does not change Jesus does not change Hebrews 13 8.

22:03

He is the same yesterday today and forever friends if Jesus turned into sin if He actually became sin by his character in his nature in a ontological sense then that is a fundamental change in who

22:24

Jesus is and was that is a fundamental change because According to what

22:29

Todd White is preaching Jesus was holy before the cross, but when he was on the cross, no he

22:36

Fundament there was a fundamental change and yet that flies in the face of the clear teaching of Scripture He's the same yesterday today and forever if there was ever a time

22:49

When Jesus changed if there was ever a time in fact, you might remember in that clip Todd White actually said that Jesus became lost

23:00

What does it mean for him to become sin Jesus became lost on the tree

23:06

If he became lost and he's not God friends if there was ever a time even for a nanosecond

23:14

That Jesus was not God that he never was God to begin with Because God not only will not change he cannot change

23:23

Hear that not just that he won't he can't He can't

23:31

He's the same yesterday today and forever Let's look at 1st Peter chapter 1 18 through 20 the

23:37

Apostle Peter writes Knowing that you are not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold

23:43

From your feudal conduct inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood as of a lamb unblemished and spotless the blood of Christ He was foreknown before the foundation of the world dear friends

23:59

Jesus was the lamb without blemish he was spotless and He was foreknown before the foundation of the world and just as a quick aside that text does real

24:13

Injury to the idea of foreknowledge just be that is just God looking down through the corridors of time to see

24:20

What will or will not happen? No, Jesus was foreknown by God From before the foundation of the world.

24:28

That's just a little aside my apologies to all of our Armenian friends out there point being

24:35

Jesus was spotless He was the lamb without blemish He did not turn into sin he was made an offering for our sin

24:46

Todd White has absolutely no idea what he's doing. He is playing with things that he does not understand

24:54

He is not apt to teach on any level and I'm gonna say this to Shame on dr.

25:04

Michael Brown Because dr. Michael Brown has been out. He's met with Todd on several occasions

25:12

Has said that he has a tremendous heart for the Lord. Dr Michael Brown actually preached at Todd White's church a little over a year ago summer of 2020 preached at his church and Michael Brown has assured me that Todd White He said is by no means of Charlotte.

25:31

He's the he's the real deal. You know, he really loves the Lord Dr. Michael Brown should know that Todd White is not

25:42

Even remotely qualified to be behind the pulpit Dr.

25:48

Michael Brown has done Todd White no favors Michael Brown should have told him Todd you need to step down.

25:53

You're not qualified to do what you're doing Let's remember friends It was last summer about the time that Michael Brown went out to Todd's church that Todd White made this big announcement

26:02

That up until that point he had never understood the basics. I mean the fundamental just the basics of the gospel

26:10

Then what are you doing in the pulpit? Get out For your own sake and for the sake of the people that you're teaching get out of the pulpit

26:18

You've got no business being there and to circle back around Why I believe that Todd White is not regenerate

26:30

Amongst other reasons Todd White for over a decade has been intentionally

26:37

Deceiving people with his leg lengthening routine, and I think I want to do more about that in a future video

26:43

I've been wanting to do it for some time. I just hadn't gotten around to it, but it's gonna come Intentionally deceiving people he goes around on the streets

26:50

Healing people at random and I'm gonna prove it's already been proven

26:55

It's already been proven in the American Gospel film. You can watch it if you haven't I commend it to you but Todd White goes up to people and he

27:05

Supposedly lengthens their legs. That's intentional deception. That's deliberate

27:11

Intentional deception and he's been doing it for years. He's been doing it for over a decade Intentionally deceiving people if Todd White were truly a

27:20

Christian Truly regenerate then one of the first fruits of his repentance would be that he would come out and publicly confess that Todd if you happen to be watching or one of your friends is watching right now

27:33

If you're a friend of Todd White and you need to tell him that One of the real fruits if if he is truly repentant will be that he'll come out and he'll admit

27:42

That he has been defrauding people Intentionally deceiving people he needs to come forward and publicly confess that and then if he's truly repentant

27:52

He will step down from the ministry because if he's truly repentant He will realize and he will understand that he is not qualified to be behind the pulpit

28:01

He should be in front of the pulpit listening and learning not behind it Obviously, I want to show you another clip.

28:08

This is from earlier in the sermon, but watch this. I Want you to understand that when

28:14

I approach people that are in the world, it's hard for me for me as an evangelist

28:21

To talk about the twistedness of sin because I know that they're blind and they can't see it

28:27

So I'm not trying to come over the top and judge people and hammer them Are you with me?

28:33

I love people. I Find that very ironic because Todd White says that he has a very hard time

28:42

Talking to people about sin. He doesn't want to come down on people and you know be judgmental on people

28:48

And he says as an evangelist he finds that difficult now, it's not that evangelism is easy

28:53

It's not because I'm an evangelist. It's not easy But friends I have watched

29:00

Dozens dozens of Todd White's supposed gospel presentations to people where he

29:08

Supposedly shares the gospel with people. I can honestly tell you as many of these as I have watched and they go back

29:15

Ten plus years in time and on YouTube. I have not a single time not once Have I heard him confront a person in his or her sin?

29:27

I've not once Heard him make that person realize that he or she is a sinner

29:34

It's always he always goes up to people and tells them how wonderful they are. Oh, God just thinks you're awesome

29:40

God thinks you're awesome brah. God thinks you're awesome I mean, he just he makes people think they're all that in a bag of chips that they are just the greatest thing since sliced bread

29:51

That's not how you present the gospel So that is ironic Todd White is not an evangelist

29:58

He's not doing evangelism biblically But what

30:04

I find ironic, I mean that's that's ironic in and of itself what I really find ironic Is that he won't confront a person in his or her sin and yet he will get up on the platform

30:17

And tell the world that Jesus on the cross became lost

30:25

And became Child molestation he could say that But he won't confront an actual sinner in his sin

30:41

Todd if you're watching this I Don't hate you. I do hate what you're doing.

30:48

I Absolutely hate what you're doing Because you are bringing untold reproach on the gospel

30:55

It seems to me as though you're finally reading some stuff that you've never read before And you don't know what to make of it.

31:03

You've got no business being behind the pulpit step down Step down and if you want to know the true gospel the real gospel

31:12

I Would love to help you. I really would but right now

31:19

You're like a two -year -old with a hammer Six -year -old with keys to a Lamborghini.

31:24

You don't know what you're doing But if you want to know the true gospel,

31:30

I will help you reach out to me Okay, dear friends, I hope this has been helpful boys been painful hasn't it golly

31:39

I hope it's been helpful, and I hope it's been a good little deal theological lesson for us

31:45

Jesus did not turn into sin. He was made an offering for our sin Until our next time together may the grace of our
