Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters.
I hope that you and your family are doing well today.
I want to thank you very much for joining me for this podcast.
So a couple of weeks ago 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.
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.
Todd white is preaching on 2nd Corinthians 5 21 and
many of you watching this, you know it by heart He made him referring to God making
Christ God the Father making the 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.
Now I want to show you a couple of clips from this sermon and I'll just let you
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 Todd watch the
video all the way to the end.
One of your friends watching this video.
Please if you care about Todd white, please get this video to him and ask him to watch
it.
Here we go with the sermon.
Because let's never forget.
It's all this stuff.
Like when we say Jesus who knew no sin became sin so that we might become
The righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in Corinthians, right?
Jesus became a gossip a murderer.
Full of strife deceit and malice wasn't in his mouth.
It was on his body.
You have to hear this man Jesus who knew no sin became sin.
Paul described sin.
Gossip slander.
Imagine Jesus as a gossip.
You can't.
He didn't do it he became it like
seeing this for the first time.
Like I've read the scripture so many times when I'm seeing It I'm like you became.
Gossip, you may already be able to tell kind of
where this is headed.
It's gonna get a lot worse, but I noticed what he said.
He said I'm seeing this for the first time 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 I've observed from Todd White in the last year or so summer of last year 2020 when he
made his big You know quote -unquote repentance that was that lasted all
of a week.
Was not real repentance.
But Todd White talked about how for the first time he was seeing that.
Oh, wow.
People have to realize they're sinners before the cross makes any sense.
He was reading Ray Comfort, which is good and Charles Spurgeon, which is good.
And so Here this this really reminded me 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 Contemplating a
text like 2nd Corinthians 521.
You've got no business being behind the pulpit.
Here's what's going on.
The sense I get is that like Todd White is for the first time beginning
to read some 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, he's beginning to see some things that he's never seen before.
He does not understand what he's doing does not understand the Meaning of
Scripture the meaning of the gospel doesn't understand imputation 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 Lamborghini.
Okay, not a good idea.
I was talking with Jim Osman pastor friend of mine about this very video.
I'll 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, 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.
Todd White is doing all kinds of damage because he doesn't have
any idea.
What he's doing he is he is for the first time in his life beginning to see something.
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 I don't think he is.
At all, but I want that for him, but he's got no business being behind the pulpit.
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.
She made the point.
It's a excellent observation.
In every area of life we seek out the best, right?
We want the best doctor to give us medical care.
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.
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.
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 Word of God.
Yeah.
Anything will do.
You know, that's that's okay, you know anything will do, you know when it comes to rightly dividing
God's Word of Truth and friends there is no more.
There is no greater responsibility Than to preach God's Word no greater
responsibility to preach God's Word and Yet so many people who
profess to be Christians profess to be Christians are perfectly satisfied.
With any with any guy or gal unfortunately for many professing Christians
to to get up and in Preach from God's Word and supposedly nurture our
eternal souls and help us to understand 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.
It's just preaching.
Tom White has no idea what he's doing and you're about to see this is about to get a lot worse.
It's hard for us to think about it because Jesus never Gossiped but he became
gossip on the tree became gossip on the
tree became slander.
Did he slander?
No, he became it.
Did he deserve it?
He kidding he never said he he was with the 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.
It's crazy to see this.
He became it.
He became insulin.
He became haughty became boastful became an inventor of evil.
Jesus became an inventor of evil on that tree.
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 Jesus became an
Inventor of evil and it gets worse.
Jesus became child pornography on the tree.
Let's say this became
Full of pornography on the tree.
Jesus became a thief on the tree.
Jesus became Addiction on the tree.
Jesus became a hater of God on the tree.
Sin.
Jesus became lost on the tree.
Jesus became child.
Pornography Jesus became lost.
Jesus became Satan.
Worship on a tree.
Hearing me.
This is really hard to even say.
Yet, it's true.
What does it mean that he who knew no sin became sin.
Jesus became bestiality on a tree?
Bestiality Jesus became bestiality on a tree.
It gets worse.
Jesus became sex trafficking on a tree.
Oh my gosh.
Just became every lustful thought on a tree.
No, it's real.
Became child molester on a tree.
That is absolutely Disgusting.
Utterly Reprehensible.
Disgusting blasphemy.
Utter and sheer Blasphemy I have never I don't.
I don't think I have ever in my life 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 Preacher is not to be a new Convert.
One of the reasons I'm not saying Todd White is I don't believe that he is.
I don't believe the man is regenerate.
I don't see how you could be Indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God and say such
things utterly disgusting.
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.
He has no business doing what he's doing.
So let's look at the text.
Shall we let's go to 2nd 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 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 I have highlighted in red.
So the literal rendering of this in Greek is the one
Not having known sin.
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 Jesus sin on our
behalf.
Now dear friends, this is not saying that Jesus literally turned into
sin in the Ontological sense.
Jesus did not become sin by his character and his nature.
He did not literally turn into sin.
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 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 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 God
did Sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an
offering for sin.
Whenever you see words that are italicized that means that they're not actually in the Greek text.
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 Greeks literally says and
for sin.
You see that word Offering is not there in the Greek the Greek just literally says
that part of the verses and for sin so an offering.
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 Jesus was not Literally made sin.
He did not turn into sin.
He did not Metamorphosis, he did not change Character in nature and turn
into sin itself.
He was made an offering for our sin.
It's a very big difference.
Okay, I want us now to look at the Old Testament Sin offering that is described in Leviticus
chapter 6.
Okay, so let's look at this Leviticus chapter 6 verses 24 through 29.
Then the 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 Lord.
It is most holy.
The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it.
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 Then it
shall be scoured and rinsed in water.
Every male among the priests may eat of it.
So dear friends in the Old Testament even in the Old Testament.
We're dealing with animals That were sacrificed as a sin offering they were
considered holy.
They were considered holy before the sacrifice.
They were considered holy During the sacrifice.
They were considered holy after the sacrifice.
Let's look at Exodus chapter 12 verse 5.
Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old.
You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
An unblemished male again Denotes the idea of
holiness.
Friends think about this if an animal if a sheep or a goat Was
considered holy before it was sacrificed while it was being sacrificed.
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?
The eternal Son of God how much more so the thrice holy?
Son of God Who offered his life on the cross?
The lamb without blemish.
Dear friends Jesus was holy before the cross.
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.
It's hard for me to even repeat it but a child molester on the cross
I Utter blasphemy.
Jesus did not turn into sin.
This was a judicial thing our sin Was imputed to Christ
it was it was Credited if you will to Christ account.
And when God saves us the punishment that Jesus
bore on the cross to pay for the sins of his people fully
satisfied 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 God saves us the righteousness of Christ is
Imputed to us it is it is credited to us we become righteous
not because we have any inherent righteousness because we don't as Christians we
have been described as Simil justus et peccator.
Now, that's 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 sinners as Christians you and I sin first.
John 1 9 was written to believers.
So yes, we we still sin as believers not like we did before we were converted.
There should be a decreasing pattern of sin in our lives, but we still from time to time Sin, we
we do sin.
So even though I as a Christian I am still a sinner.
But when God sees me Judicially, he looks at he
looks at This frail sinner and he sees the righteousness of
Christ.
Why.
Because my sin was imputed to Christ on the cross his
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 Left to
myself my own character my own nature.
I am I'm nowhere near as righteous as Christ is left to myself, but I
have the covering of Christ I have I have the the righteousness of Christ that has been imputed credited
to my account.
I am a Sinner, but at the same time just I am just and at the same time
a sinner.
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 dear friends.
If Jesus actually turned into a couple of points on to make if Jesus actually turned into
sin Then the wrath of God that that was poured out on
him was actually deserved.
But friends that you've completely gutted the gospel with that.
The whole point of the gospel is that Jesus bore God's wrath?
Even though he did not deserve it.
He did not deserve it.
But if he actually turned into sin Then he did deserve it, but he didn't.
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 Satisfied God's wrath because he never was a sinner nor did he ever turn into
sin.
God treated him as though he were a sinner, but he never was and he certainly did not turn
into sin.
So that's one point.
Another point is this If Jesus actually turned into sin
Then you have completely destroyed Immutability now immutability.
That's a big $3 word.
But all it means that is the theological truth that God does not change.
He does not change.
Jesus does not change Hebrews 13 8.
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 Jesus is and was that is a fundamental
change because According to what Todd White is preaching Jesus was holy
before the cross, but when he was on the cross, no he 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.
When Jesus changed if there was ever a time in fact, you might remember in that clip Todd White's
actually said that Jesus became lost.
What does it mean for him to become sin.
If he became lost and he's not God friends if there was ever a time even for
a nanosecond That Jesus was not God then he never was God to begin with.
Because God not only will not change he cannot change.
Hear that not just that he won't.
He can't.
He's the same yesterday today and forever.
Let's look at first Peter chapter 1 18 through 20 the Apostle Peter writes.
Knowing that you are not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold.
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.
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 Injury to the idea of
foreknowledge just be that is just God looking down through the corridors of time to see.
What will or will not happen?
No, Jesus was foreknown by God from before the foundation of the world.
That's just a little aside my apologies to all of our Armenian friends out there
point being Jesus was spotless.
He was the lamb without blemish.
He did not turn into sin he was made an offering for our sin.
Todd White has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
He is playing with things that he does not understand.
He is not apt to teach on any level and I'm
gonna say this to Shame on dr. Michael Brown.
Because dr. Michael Brown has been out he's met with Todd on several occasions.
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 a Charlotte.
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 Even remotely
qualified to be behind the pulpit.
Dr. Michael Brown has done Todd White no favors.
Michael Brown should have told him Todd you need to step down.
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 that up until that point he had never
Understood the basics.
I mean the fundamental just the basics of the gospel.
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.
You've got no business being there.
And to circle back around.
Why I believe that Todd White is not regenerate amongst other reasons
Todd White for over a decade has been intentionally Deceiving
people with his leg lengthening routine, and I think I want to do more about that in a future video.
I've been wanting to do it for some time.
I'm just hadn't got around to it, but it's gonna come Intentionally deceiving people he goes around on the streets.
Healing people at random and I'm gonna prove it's already been proven.
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
Supposedly lengthens their legs.
That's intentional deception.
That's deliberate 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 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.
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 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 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.
He should be in front of the pulpit listening and learning not behind it.
Obviously, I want to show you another clip.
This is from earlier in the sermon, but watch this.
I.
Want you to understand that when I approach people that are in the world, it's hard for me for me
as an evangelist.
To talk about the twistedness of sin because I know that they're blind and they can't see it.
So I'm not trying to come over the top and judge people and hammer them.
Are you with me?
I love people.
Find that very ironic because Todd White says that he has a very hard time Talking
to people about sin.
He doesn't want to come down on people and you know be judgmental on people.
And he says as an evangelist he finds that difficult now, it's not that evangelism is easy.
It's not because I'm an evangelist.
It's not easy.
But friends I have watched Dozens dozens of Todd
White's supposed gospel presentations to people where he Supposedly
shares the gospel with people.
I can honestly tell you as many of these as I have watched and they go back.
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?
I've not once Heard him make that person realize that he or she is a sinner.
It's always he always goes up to people and tells them how wonderful they are.
Oh, God just thinks you're awesome.
God thinks you're awesome brah.
God thinks you're awesome.
I mean just he makes people think they're all that in a bag of chips that they are just the greatest thing since sliced bread.
That's not how you present the gospel.
So that is ironic and Todd White is not an evangelist.
He's not doing evangelism biblically.
But what 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 and tell the world that Jesus on the
cross became lost and became
Child molestation he could say that.
But he won't confront an actual sinner in his sin.
Todd if you're watching this I Don't hate you.
I do hate what you're doing.
I Absolutely hate what you're doing.
Because you are bringing untold reproach on the gospel.
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.
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 I Would love
to help you.
I really would but right now You're like a two -year -old with a hammer.
Six year old with keys to a Lamborghini.
You don't know what you're doing.
But if you want to know the true gospel, I will help you reach out to me.
Okay, dear friends.
I hope this has been helpful boy.
It's been painful hasn't it?
Golly.
I hope it's been helpful.
And I hope it's been a good little deal theological lesson for us.
Until our next time together may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the love of God in the fellowship of his Holy Spirit.
Be with you all.
