But I found something this week. It starts, but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lusts of uncleanliness and despised governments
00:21
Presumptuous are they self -willed They're not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries
00:30
Whereas angels which are greater in power and might Mm -hmm
00:37
Bring not railing accusations against them before the Lord But these as natural brute beasts
00:48
Made to be taken and destroyed Speak evil of the things they know nothing about they understand not and shall perish from their own corruptions
01:06
Did anybody see a mistake in the reading?
01:16
Yes That's what I'm talking about They'll perish in their own corruptions
01:26
You know the person that is destined for hell will go there with all of the disease
01:36
All of the corruption all of the evil Everything that is against God in this world perish in their own corruptions
01:54
Now come over That's right, that's right,
02:27
I think we could get quite a bit out of the word in instead of from Think about it
02:51
Come over to verse 14
02:59
Having eyes full of adultery. I Can't see who's on the back row
03:10
Who's in front of you? Well the one in front of Greg tell me what it means having eyes full of adultery
03:31
That's right Then they cannot cease from sin
03:38
Greg what's that mean? That's right
03:46
Did you ever think about that? And they cannot cease they cannot stop
03:57
Everything they do is a sin Beguiling unstable souls now, who's the unstable soul?
04:14
All right Virge, what would you say an unstable soul is? All right unstable souls and Heart they have exercised with covetous practices
04:35
Cursed children He condemns those men showing even in their behavior and countenance an unmeasurable lust making trade of the souls of vain persons as Men exercised in all of the crafts of covetousness to be short as men that sell themselves for money
05:05
To curse the sons of God in the same way Now they're like Balaam whom the jackass reprieved
05:24
Yes Say that again, no,
06:00
I hadn't They have exercised with covetous practices cursed children,
06:07
I think is speaking of the False teachers They're a cursed child child of Satan What Yes That's right
06:39
Yes Since the
06:54
David is here. I'd like to back up to the 12th chapter of 12 verse if you'll let me 2nd
07:02
Peter 2 12 But these as natural brute beasts
07:08
Made to be taken and destroyed speak evil of the things that they understand not and Shall perish in their own
07:17
Corruptions not from their corruptions. They perish in their corruptions
07:23
What's that mean David? They'll have all of the corruption all of the curses all of the evil everything with them in in hell
07:58
Yes now over To where we were he condemns those men showing even in their behavior and countenance and unmeasurable lust
08:16
Making trade of the souls of vain persons as Men exercised in all of the crafts of covetous to be short as Men that sell themselves for money to curse the sons of God There was one in the
08:35
Bible that did that You remember who? No one sold himself
08:54
But it was
08:59
Balaam Which have forsaken the right way?
09:11
And gone astray Following the way of Balaam the son of Bessor who loved the wages of unrighteousness
09:25
He loved that above doing what was right how the wicked in after ages do their
09:35
Courses and practices imitates such wicked persons as lived before them in former ages
09:42
You know all of the wickedness that is today is just a repeat of wickedness that was tomorrow yesterday
09:51
And it goes all the way back to Cain These men followed the way of Balaam Imitate his covetousness an
10:04
Insatiable desire of wealth The desire of wealth
10:11
I'm not afraid of any of you putting wealth first, but just don't ever do that Ministers and teachers should be as wells of water
10:24
Where people may find instructions directions comfort
10:30
But false teachers Have nothing of this to impart to people
10:37
But was rebuked for his iniquity the dumbass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the
10:51
Prophet now Virge, what would you think if he was riding a donkey and Trying to get him to go someplace and he turned around talk to him
11:06
You'd be afraid to tell anybody I Say thank you is crazy. Well that actually happened
11:15
These are whales without water David what is a well without water?
11:28
That's right Clouds that are carried about with a tempest
11:34
To whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever Boy Peter's being real hard on these
11:43
False teachers false prophets and rightly so That's right, that's right
12:17
Every time you turn the TV on The minister of the gospel ought to be as wells of water
12:27
Depths of knowledge or purity of doctrine for residency and fixed fixed fixedness of a bold Everyone knows where the town well is
12:46
Back when they had one well in town, you know where it was Though the ministers are wells of water yet.
12:56
They should always be full And always at hand for the people to have recourse unto
13:09
For when they speak Great swelling words of vanity. Are you still on the false teachers?
13:19
They allure through the lusts of the flesh Though through much wantonness those that were clean escaped
13:32
From them who live in error Now before we take up clean escape
13:40
Let's talk about these great swelling words David what what is meant by great swelling words as used here?
14:27
That's right The television is full of them, especially on Sunday morning now
14:44
Much wantonness those he's talking about those that were escaped were clean escaped
14:51
From them who live in in error Now clean escaped.
14:58
That's a rather strange set of words in our language What's it mean
15:05
Greg? All right,
15:22
Bill Clean escaped Great swelling words of vanity
15:58
Any Time that you speak in a language Even English and you're not understood by the people you do it for one of two reasons
16:10
You're either trying to impress the people or you don't know what you're talking about Lofty Effective style they propound their false doctrines to amuse the simple
16:33
It is the usual practice of seducers to speak in the high -flown strain of words
16:42
That being not understood They'll be much more admired
16:48
If you think that a person in that position is speaking
16:55
And you don't understand it, but he must be something because just listen to him
17:03
While they promise them liberty They themselves are the servants of corruption
17:11
Can you promise something that you do not have yourself You can't you can't even promise with the straight face
17:52
Yes, there's lots and lots and lots of people
17:59
That shop around until they find a church that agrees with their lifestyle They themselves are the servants of corruption
18:21
For of whom a man is overcome of the same is he? brought into bondage
18:31
All sin the servitude and slavery You can't get away from that And when sin and sinners flatter men with the great opinions of Liberty it makes them the most miserable vessels and The worst of slaves for so many lusts so many
18:53
Lords so many vices so many tyrants as a sinner over him if you think of the sinner
19:05
I Think of somebody by name That's definitely living in sin
19:12
He is a slave to for it after They have escaped the pollutions of the word through the knowledge of the
19:28
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ They are again entangled therein and overcome
19:36
The latter end is worse with them than the beginning now resort to my
19:49
Learned friend David When they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the
20:00
Lord Jesus Savior Savior Lord Jesus when they have escaped the pollutions of the world.
20:07
What's he talking about? All right, can we say this that be careful whom you invite to church
20:40
Because for them to come and hear the truth and do nothing about it they were worse off than they were before All right
22:44
That's right. I Didn't mean to not invite people to church. I meant if they come they best do something about it
22:57
Right Exactly No No, that's
23:19
We're not in the judging realm and we're not judging by inviting them or not inviting them
23:27
There are some people that you wouldn't invite That's what they were
23:55
That's right, no, no, yes
24:54
That's Right if you pretend See, we can't we can't tell who's pretending who's not
25:03
All some of you can but but you really can't The Lord can and he's the one that divides
25:28
No You're That's right, he explains it
25:55
David you have your hand up That's right
26:36
Oh That's right
27:48
Oh That's right for it had been better for them not to have known the way of Righteousness then after they have known it to turn from the
29:05
Holy Commandment delivered unto them a religious education
29:13
Has restrained many Through the grace of God has not called
29:25
But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb the dog is turned to his own vomit again and The sound that was voiced to her wallowing in the mire
29:39
I Have a Message that I preach on or teach on The prodigal pig
29:54
But please notice it says the dog is turned to his own vomit
30:00
He's still a dog Can't get away from it The sow is still a pig
30:08
The success of your home To sum it all up depends upon you keeping your word
30:18
Pleasant or unpleasant you have to keep your word well
30:26
We're going to stop here Before we open the third and last chapter
30:36
It's been interesting We'll see what that last chapter holds for us
30:44
Anything from anybody? Yes Must be careful to not condemn people that are sinners
31:42
Angels don't why should we? They're doing what they're ordained to do
