- 00:15
- Welcome to another installment of Fighting for the Faith. My name is Chris Rosebro. I'm your servant in Jesus Christ, and this is the channel that compares what people are saying in the name of God to the
- 00:25
- Word of God. A little bit of a note. You may have noticed that I haven't been putting out videos lately, and I wanted to thank all of you who were praying for me and my family.
- 00:37
- I put out an announcement a little bit ago explaining that we had a dearly beloved family member who, well, she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and we were caring for her.
- 00:50
- And she did hospice in our home, and she passed away in our home. And so we've been going through the process of not only caring for somebody who was dying, but also in the aftermath of grieving the loss of that wonderful family member.
- 01:08
- And I don't want to get into more details than that, but again, thank you for keeping us in your prayers. And so starting to slowly get back into the saddle today.
- 01:17
- And so with that, I think I should probably talk about what we're gonna talk about today.
- 01:23
- And we're gonna be talking about Keith Craft. But before we talk about Keith Craft, I'm going to make a point as it relates to Robert Morris.
- 01:33
- If you've been paying attention, Robert Morris of Gateway Church, a fellow who we've done a lot of exposés on theologically here at Fighting for the
- 01:43
- Faith, both in the podcast and on YouTube, warning people of this man's false doctrine and the way he twists
- 01:49
- Scripture. He, as it turns out, has resigned after it became known that back in the day, when he was in his 20s, he, well, sexually assaulted a 12 -year -old girl.
- 02:07
- That's the allegations. He hasn't denied that, and he's since resigned, and it's just been a complete mess.
- 02:16
- But here's the issue, is that it shouldn't have had to come to this.
- 02:22
- And so let me explain what I mean by that. I'm gonna whirl up the desktop, and we are going to pull up my web browser.
- 02:32
- And this was a tweet that I sent out. Do we even call them tweets anymore? What do we call them on X now?
- 02:39
- Because it's not Twitter, it's X. Although I have a hard time getting used to saying X rather than Twitter.
- 02:45
- But I sent this out on June 18th, and here's what I said. What rankles me about Robert Morris is that I have been warning the body of Christ for more than a decade about his scam theology, money -grubbing false teaching, and few even cared about that.
- 03:02
- But find out that he sexually assaulted a child, and then, then, then they spring into action.
- 03:09
- Hmm. So my question is, is when will the church learn that when there is smoke, there is also a fire?
- 03:17
- False doctrine is fruit that proves that the entire tree is bad.
- 03:22
- It is just a matter of time before the hidden sins that accompany it will come to light. I've seen this happen time and time again.
- 03:32
- This is a sad reality. And so what I would challenge you today, as we listen to Keith Kraft talking about templates for greatness and favor and all this kind of nonsense, is, it's this.
- 03:45
- Remember that one of the Ten Commandments is that you shall not take the name of Yahweh your
- 03:52
- God in vain. And Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
- 03:58
- False doctrine is a breaking of this commandment. And as a result of that, then the right mindset that people need to have as Christians, especially if they're going to be biblical, is that any pastor who has basically shown that he has a stubborn refusal to teach sound doctrine and instead replace it with ear -scratching false doctrine, the church needs to recognize this is a disqualifying moral failure.
- 04:27
- And if only people had done this with Robert Morris, I mean, I've done multiple episodes of Fighting for the
- 04:35
- Faith debunking the whole blessed life nonsense, you know, living beyond blessed and all,
- 04:42
- Robert Morris claiming that all Christians are prophets and nonsense like this.
- 04:48
- If Christians in the church would recognize that a stubborn refusal to teach sound doctrine and instead replace it with ear -scratching false doctrine is a disqualifying moral failure,
- 05:03
- Robert Morris wouldn't have resigned just a few days ago.
- 05:10
- He would have resigned or forced to sit down decades ago.
- 05:17
- That's the reality of the situation. But unfortunately, too many people in the church do not pay attention to the biblical warnings regarding those who teach false doctrine, nor do they practice the remedies given in Scripture regarding those who teach false doctrine.
- 05:37
- So today, as we head over to Elevate Life Church and we once again listen to Keith Kraft, please keep this in mind that what we are highlighting here today is a disqualifying moral failure on the part of Keith Kraft.
- 05:57
- This man is an ear -scratching, ear -tickling false teacher, and we're going to demonstrate that the nonsense coming out of his face in this sermon is the farthest thing from sound biblical doctrine, and he's not authorized by Christ to be teaching these doctrines.
- 06:20
- So keep that in mind as we go into this. And I'm going to do something I normally don't do when we do
- 06:28
- Fighting for the Faith, and that is I am going to play the intro to this particular sermon because it is so wrong that it says a lot, best way
- 06:40
- I can put it. So let's tune in and listen to this intro to this sermon. Hey there, my name's
- 06:46
- Kru, and welcome to our YouTube channel today. While you're here, we hope this content does three things. Firstly, helps you discover God. Secondly, help you develop yourself.
- 06:52
- And thirdly, that'll deploy you into leadership with a biblical worldview. Let's see if I have this right.
- 06:58
- Does three things. Helps you to what? Discover God. Secondly, help you develop yourself.
- 07:05
- And thirdly, deploy you into leadership. Is that the job of the
- 07:13
- Church? To help you discover God. You know, develop yourself and deploy you into leadership.
- 07:20
- Nope. I would note a notable passage to go to in this regard would be maybe like Matthew chapter 28, you may be familiar with this particular text.
- 07:34
- Jesus came to his disciples and said, all authority in heaven on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
- 07:43
- Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. So you'll note the job of the
- 07:50
- Church is to make disciples and to teach them what Christ has taught, what he's commanded.
- 07:57
- And so where in Scripture does a church get to opt out of this and instead replace the whole purpose of their existence to deploy people into leadership and help them, you know, develop themselves and things like this?
- 08:11
- Answer, nowhere in Scripture are we taught this. So we've got a big problem here and that is that the whole reason why
- 08:19
- Elevate Life Church exists is for a completely different mission than the mission that Christ has given to the
- 08:25
- Church. And that's why, in part, we're gonna hear
- 08:31
- Keith Kraft spewing here. It ain't sound doctrine, it's something completely different. Let's continue.
- 08:37
- With a biblical worldview. Before you go, make sure you like, share, comment, subscribe, enjoy the rest of the content. Somebody, love on somebody, give them a high five, give them a hug.
- 08:46
- So glad, so honored that you're here. Well, one of my favorite subjects in the world, one of my life messages is the subject of favor.
- 08:57
- And again, we've been talking about it for a few weeks and I really feel compelled and everywhere that I am, every platform that God has given me within the context of this incubator of greatness that we call
- 09:07
- Elevate Life Church. Incubator of greatness. So Elevate Life Church is not a church dedicated to making disciples, baptizing and teaching all that Christ has commanded.
- 09:18
- Elevate Life Church, is, its purpose is to be an incubator of greatness.
- 09:27
- That sounds exactly like what we're warned about in 2 Timothy. Paul writing by the inspiration of the
- 09:35
- Holy Spirit and giving charges to a young pastor, Timothy says, I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who's to judge the living and the dead and by his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke and exhort with complete patience and taught teaching or doctrine.
- 09:55
- For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.
- 10:03
- And they will turn away from listening to the truth and they will wander off into myths.
- 10:09
- I assure you, the myth bit here, wander off into myths, we're going to be wandering off into myths very shortly.
- 10:18
- It's like almost right out of the gate. But I would note that this idea of a church being an incubator of greatness, that's exactly, exactly what it means to scratch itching ears and to not teach sound doctrine.
- 10:36
- So that being the case, keep this in mind. What we are listening to is a disqualifying moral failure on the part of Keith Kraft because of his stubborn obstinacy to not obey
- 10:52
- Exodus 20 verse 7, which says you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Just saying.
- 10:58
- So let's continue. I am sort of just releasing what I call divine templates all year long.
- 11:06
- In other words, he's releasing divine templates. What on earth is that?
- 11:12
- I mean, I've spent a lot of time over the past few decades reading in the writings of the church fathers and have yet to hear a single church father talk about divine templates.
- 11:22
- In fact, I can honestly say that I have never heard the phrase divine templates until like this year.
- 11:33
- And the first person I heard it from was this guy. And I don't find this in Scripture.
- 11:40
- So he's releasing all this year divine templates. Hmm. Okay. What are those?
- 11:48
- There's some templates that the Lord has shown me. The Bible is a template. You only have... So notice what he said.
- 11:53
- There's templates that the Lord has shown me. So he's getting this via direct revelation, not from the Bible. So he's claiming now that the
- 12:00
- Bible is full of templates. Watch what he does. You don't have to go this far in the word of God after the appendix.
- 12:06
- You go to the first... Appendices are in the back of the Bible. The introduction and the table of contents and stuff like that are in the front page.
- 12:15
- And the first page is creation. And literally the Genesis account of the Bible begins with a template that we can just miss.
- 12:24
- We read the days of creation, but the Bible says in the beginning that God created the heaven and the earth. Put an amen on that.
- 12:29
- That the earth was without form, void, and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
- 12:36
- And so one of the things that we have to see is that everything in scripture is not just for stories that are historically for us to buy into.
- 12:46
- They're not just... It's not just about principles, but the Bible is a book of principles that you can live your life by.
- 12:53
- It's the truths that we need to buy into based on the... Now, granted, there are legitimate commands in scripture.
- 13:01
- Legitimate principles. You know, kind of like you shall not take the name of the Lord your
- 13:07
- God in vain. Just saying. That's an actual commandment. So that being the case, you know, what templates or principles or things that do you think that he is saying that we need to be buying into?
- 13:21
- Because he's clearly not going to be obeying Exodus 20 verse 7. So what are you talking about,
- 13:30
- Keith? Well, we're going to find out. The word of God. What is the truth? What is the truth? If it doesn't line up with this book, it's not the truth.
- 13:38
- Now, I would agree. If it doesn't line up with that book, it ain't the truth for sure.
- 13:45
- And he's saying this unironically because what's going to be following here doesn't even remotely come close to lining up with the
- 13:51
- Bible. No matter what you think your truth is, but the Bible is a book of principles. It's a book of precepts.
- 13:57
- It's a book of promises. It's a book of purpose. There's so much I could say about this book, but it's all.
- 14:03
- Why don't you just read it and exegete it properly like a pastor is supposed to, you know, preach the word kind of stuff.
- 14:09
- Also a book that was written to show us not only show us who God was and who God is, but to show us the plan of God, the purpose of God through his precepts, through his principles, through his promises that are in the
- 14:20
- Bible. But what the Lord began to speak to me several years ago is this is a book. So know what he just did there. This is the old switcheroo.
- 14:27
- I'm going to talk really big about the Bible. Oh, man, it's this amazing book, principles, precepts, things that we're supposed to do.
- 14:34
- God is revealing himself in it. But then the next words out of his mouth were the
- 14:39
- Lord began to speak to me several years ago. He's adding to the scriptures.
- 14:49
- So on the one hand, he is talking the Bible up. Oh, yeah, we really love the
- 14:56
- Bible. It's the best thing ever. But then the Lord began to speak to me because that's going to be where he's going to put the emphasis in the sermon, not on what the
- 15:05
- Bible says, but on the things that God revealed to him, a whole new layer of meaning that everybody missed except for Keith Kraft, because the
- 15:17
- Lord began to speak to him several years ago. So let me back this up. Listen again. Principles through his promises that are in the
- 15:23
- Bible. But what the Lord began to speak to me several years ago is this is a book that's full of templates. Oh, the
- 15:31
- God told you that directly? That explains why no one else has seen that the
- 15:38
- Bible is a book of templates. I am determined.
- 15:43
- Hang on. Oh, yeah. You smell that? Yeah, that's bovine scatology right there.
- 15:51
- Yeah, it's just an awful rancid smell. Listen again. Here we go. The purpose of God through his precepts, through his principles, through his promises that are in the
- 15:59
- Bible. But what the Lord began to speak to me several years ago is this is a book that's full of templates. So I'm going to do this real quick.
- 16:06
- Many of you heard me say this before. But but so on the first day, the earth was dark. You can't do anything in the dark.
- 16:13
- I mean, you can only fall off a stage in the dark. I just so apparently he fell off stage sometime recently there at Elevate Life Church.
- 16:22
- Believe me, I'm getting better. I was traumatized by that a little bit. But but anyway, seriously, in the dark, you can't see where you're going.
- 16:28
- You can't see. I mean, you just you just go through life, literally falling, usually backwards, just in the dark, not necessarily forward, but falling off and falling backwards and and not not really knowing how to get where you need to go.
- 16:38
- So the first act of God, as he said, let there be light. So that speaks of vision. Everything in your life, personally and professionally, starts with your vision.
- 16:45
- What vision do you have for your own life? What vision do you have for your marriage? What vision do you have for your family? What? So apparently when
- 16:54
- God said, let there be light and there was light, there's a whole new layer of meaning called templates that we're supposed to be tapping into.
- 17:04
- And when God said, let there be light, you know, let there be light. He was really saying, I need to teach you about vision.
- 17:13
- And what your vision is for your life and for your family and stuff. Nonsense.
- 17:22
- Yep, this guy is scratching itching ears. Barashid barach
- 17:27
- Elohim et ha'shamayim v 'et ha 'eretz. In the beginning,
- 17:33
- God created the heavens and the earth. This isn't a template. This is a historical narrative. The earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the
- 17:43
- Tahom, the deep. And the spirit, the Ruach Elohim, was hovering over the face of the waters.
- 17:51
- God said, let there be light and there was light. God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
- 17:59
- God called the light day and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning the first day.
- 18:08
- God said, let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate the waters from the waters.
- 18:15
- And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse.
- 18:21
- And it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning the second day.
- 18:30
- God said, let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place. Let the dry land appear.
- 18:38
- And it was so. God called the dry land earth, Eretz. And the waters that were gathered together he called seas.
- 18:47
- And God saw that it was good. And God said, let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind on the earth.
- 18:59
- And it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kind and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind.
- 19:09
- And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning the third day. God said, let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.
- 19:32
- And it was so. And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night and the stars.
- 19:41
- God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth to rule over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness.
- 19:49
- And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning the fourth day.
- 19:57
- God said, let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
- 20:05
- So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves with which the water swarm according to their kinds and every winged bird according to its kind.
- 20:17
- And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them saying, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, fill the waters in the seas, let the birds multiply on the earth.
- 20:28
- And there was evening and there was morning on the fifth day. God said, let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds, livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.
- 20:39
- And it was so. God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind.
- 20:48
- God saw that it was good. Then God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all of the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
- 21:04
- So God created man in his own image. In the image of God, he created a male and female. He created them.
- 21:09
- God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
- 21:21
- And God said, behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all of the earth and every tree with seed in its fruit.
- 21:29
- You shall have them for food and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life.
- 21:39
- I have given every plant green plant for food. And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made and behold, it was very good.
- 21:50
- And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them.
- 21:59
- And on the seventh day, God finished his work that he had done. He rested on the seventh day from all of his work that he had done.
- 22:05
- So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it, God rested from all of his work that he had done in creation.
- 22:12
- I would note here, there is nothing in the text to indicate that there is a second or deeper layer of meaning as it relates to divine templates regarding God giving vision to your life or anything like that.
- 22:27
- So Keith Craft here has already, as Paul prophesied, wandered off into myths.
- 22:35
- He is twisting God's word. He is scratching itching ears. And this, everything that he's saying at this point is just complete nonsense.
- 22:44
- None of it is true. Let me back this up. Listen. So that speaks of vision. Everything in your life, personally, professionally starts with your vision.
- 22:52
- What vision do you have for your own life? What vision do you have for your marriage? What vision do you have for your family? What vision do you have?
- 22:58
- The book, Dear Parent, that we're going to be releasing next week officially, next weekend officially. So he and his family wrote a book, and he's plugging his book during the sermon time at Elevate Life Church.
- 23:12
- What does that tell you? It should tell you that this man, what does he care about?
- 23:19
- Money. He is teaching for shameful gain, things that he ought not to teach. He's making merchandise to the people in his own congregation, his own church.
- 23:29
- Huh. Yeah. Nice little plug there for that book. And I'm so excited, really. This is the first time all of my children have joined me in writing a book.
- 23:38
- And so, but that's a parenting template. You don't have to buy into it. It just works. So it worked for me.
- 23:43
- It worked for Pastor Sheila and I, and it can work for you. So I would encourage you, get it for somebody, even if you don't feel like you need it for yourself.
- 23:50
- Because again, success. Yeah, buy that book and please buy it. If you don't need it because you're not a parent anymore, or you aren't a parent already, just buy it to give to somebody else because we need those sales to go up.
- 24:02
- Is not hidden in your daily routine. Let me rewind and say that again. Success is not hidden in your daily routine.
- 24:07
- That is a myth. Success is hidden in templates. You've got to find a template that works. So on the first day,
- 24:13
- God said, Success is hidden in templates. Which biblical text says that? When did
- 24:18
- Jesus teach that? When did any of the prophets of the Old Testament make this point? When did any of Jesus's apostles make that point?
- 24:26
- None of them ever did. So, and when did Christianity become all about finding success?
- 24:35
- Scratching itching ears, telling people, you know, teaching for shameful gain, things that he ought not to teach.
- 24:41
- You know, things like this. He's wandered off into total myths at this point. Let there be light. Well, what does light do?
- 24:46
- It dispels darkness. What does vision do? It gives you clarity about your future. It gives you a picture. So you can just describe vision as vision is a picture of the future that you want.
- 24:55
- So what is your vision? It's very unique to you. Nobody can see for you what only you can see for you. Nobody can can see for your marriage, only what you can see for your marriage.
- 25:02
- So you've got to be the one that sees it so you can bees it. If I can see it.
- 25:09
- All right. So, so not to bring up any negativity with that song at all, but anyway, the bottom line is, is that templates start in the
- 25:16
- Bible on the first page. God said, let there be light. Everything starts with vision. The second thing that God did is God established the heavens.
- 25:23
- What does that represent for us? Atmosphere or culture. So after you have a vision for your life, personally, what atmosphere or culture, what are, did you use tea leaves to figure out this, this particular meaning of scripture?
- 25:40
- Did you, did you go to a psychic or a medium to figure this out? What on earth?
- 25:46
- The only after you have a vision for your business or for your career professionally, then the atmosphere is going to be very important.
- 25:52
- The, the, the culture, the attitudes, the behavior, the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes.
- 25:59
- That's what make up a culture, a family culture and organization. So again, atmosphere or slash culture.
- 26:04
- On the third day, God created the earth that speaks of structure. So think about this for just a minute. How you structure your life, how you structure your marriage, how you structure your family, how you structure your business.
- 26:16
- This is the key. One of the things that I teach is, is that most people jump from vision to strategy.
- 26:22
- So it's okay. Here's what I see now. What do I need to do to get there? The bridge between vision and strategy is structure.
- 26:28
- Structure is so important. So the earth represents structure. So I want you to really get. Again, when did
- 26:35
- Jesus preach about these things, these templates? Oh yeah, that's right. He didn't.
- 26:41
- And where, where's Keith Kraft getting this nonsense? Well, the Lord began to speak to him about this a few years ago.
- 26:48
- So he, he is the, the only one who sees this in Genesis one.
- 26:55
- Shouldn't that, I think that should bother everybody. They should be sitting and going, that ain't right. No, if, if, if in fact, kind of think of it this way that we, we preach the faith once for all delivered to the saints, there is no
- 27:08
- Christianity 2 .0. So if somebody's teaching new doctrine, like he is, you already know it's false.
- 27:17
- So again, this is a moral failing on his part, a stubborn refusal to teach sound doctrine and instead replace it with ear scratching false doctrine is a disqualifying moral failure.
- 27:29
- You need to be looking at Keith Kraft the same way we look at Robert Morris. That's right.
- 27:37
- Keith Kraft doesn't need to have an affair. He doesn't need to steal, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars from the church.
- 27:44
- We already see that he's morally disqualified to be a pastor because he's breaking one of God's 10 commandments and taking
- 27:51
- God's name in vain. And he's adding to the scriptures and teaching false doctrine. There's just no way around it.
- 27:57
- That's exactly what this fellow is doing. Get what I'm going to say here. Now, if your structure is not right, go back to the second day of creation.
- 28:04
- And that's because your culture is not right. If your culture is not right in your family, it's toxic in your marriage.
- 28:11
- It's toxic in your life. It's toxic in your business. It's toxic. It's because the vision isn't clear.
- 28:18
- So again, first day vision, it dispelled the darkness. Second day atmosphere, what is our assignment on the earth?
- 28:23
- The Bible says that the disciples said, Jesus or Jesus teach us how to pray. He said, pray our father who art in heaven.
- 28:30
- Tell me the next phrase. Hallowed be your name. And he said, now pray this way. Your kingdom come from heaven to earth.
- 28:36
- Now your will be done on earth based on the heaven that we are called by God to bring.
- 28:41
- Do you know that your marriage, Jordan... We're not called to bring heaven to earth.
- 28:47
- What on earth? This guy's not qualified to be a pastor. Pastors are those who have studied and showed themselves approved as a workman who need not blush with embarrassment, who can rightly handle the word of truth.
- 29:01
- He's not capable of doing that. He's morally disqualified for breaking
- 29:06
- God's commands. He is secondarily not even qualified to be a pastor because he's not even teaching what's in accord with sound doctrine.
- 29:14
- Let me give you another text here. Okay. Paul writing to Timothy in 1st
- 29:19
- Timothy 6 .20 says, Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent
- 29:24
- Babylon contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge for by professing it, some have swerved from the faith.
- 29:31
- I would note Keith Kraft apparently a long time ago has swerved from the faith because we've been covering him here on fighting for the faith for a decade or more.
- 29:42
- Yeah, this guy, he's just not sound at all. But I would also note like Titus chapter 1, qualifications for an elder in Christ's church.
- 29:52
- Paul says to Titus, he says, this is why I left you in Crete so that you might put what remained in order. Appoint elders in every town as I directed you.
- 30:00
- If anyone is above reproach, husband of one wife, his children are believers, not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.
- 30:07
- For an overseer as God's steward must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick -tempered or drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self -controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
- 30:20
- He must, must hold firm to the trustworthy word, listen to the words, as taught.
- 30:29
- Keith Kraft isn't doing that, is he? Nope. As taught so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
- 30:38
- So I would note, everyone sits there and goes, well, you know, an overseer must be above reproach. Yes, for sure.
- 30:47
- That's the moral qualification. And there's more. It doesn't end with that.
- 30:54
- He also must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught. So show me anywhere in the
- 31:02
- New Testament or anywhere in the writings of the church fathers, anybody quoting from Genesis 1 and teaching this template of vision, of structure, of atmosphere, and things like this.
- 31:16
- Nobody's ever done it. The reason why is because this isn't sound doctrine at all. This is the mythologies that Paul has warned us about.
- 31:24
- Let's continue for just a little bit longer, but this is annoying. It has to be heaven on earth, not hell on earth.
- 31:30
- So one of the things that men are supposed to do in their marriage is to bring heaven on earth, provide an atmosphere that brings security to their wife.
- 31:40
- Why? Because they're going to lead first and foremost as a priest and prophet of their home. So what's so important for all of us is that we understand what is our role in bringing heaven to earth.
- 31:49
- So on the second day, God said, this is how important heaven is. Heaven establishes the atmosphere on the earth.
- 31:55
- By the way, this isn't... No text says any of this stuff. He's just making it up.
- 32:02
- My message, this is free. I'll get to my message in a minute. But God's called me this year to bring templates to show you literally like I'm showing you...
- 32:10
- No, he hasn't. And there it is. He is utterly blaspheming
- 32:15
- God's name. You should not take the name of the Lord your God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
- 32:21
- Who does he blame all this nonsense that he's spewing right here on? God. He's saying that he got this directly from God.
- 32:29
- No, he didn't. He didn't get this from God. God has instructed pastors to preach the word.
- 32:35
- He ain't doing that. And he's warned about those who would scratch itching ears and have people wander off into myths, which is exactly what
- 32:43
- Keith is doing. This man is morally disqualified for breaking
- 32:48
- God's commandment. And the commandment is you should not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. I think you get the point.
- 32:55
