Look at Deuteronomy chapter 22. Deuteronomy chapter 22 is a passage where we get a symbolic teaching on biblical separation. This is one that's not explicit here, but it's symbolic. And it talks about in Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 9, Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds, lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown and the fruit of thy vineyard be defiled. So if we were to take the literal interpretation of this, he's saying no GMOs. You know, don't plant it with a bunch of Monsanto Roundup Ready corn, okay? Don't use the GMO. But if we were to take a symbolic look at this, and he's saying, hey, don't sow the vineyard with divers seeds, different types of seeds. Don't plow, verse 10, with an ox and an ass together. Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers swords as of woolen and linen together. You know, if we look at the separation that he's teaching here, the seed is the word of God. The Bible says that we are born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. The sower sows the word. The seed is the word of God. And if we are not to sow the field with mingled seeds, that means we shouldn't be in a church where we're sowing all different. We're sowing the King James seed over here and sowing the NIV over here. You know, it's the King James from the pulpit, and it's the NIV in the youth group in the Sunday school. Hey, let's not sow the field with divers seeds. Let's make sure that we've all got the same seed in our seed bag. You know, if we're going to go forth weeping, bearing precious seed, it better be the real true word of God in the English line. What about people that don't speak English? Shut up! What about people that speak English tonight? Look, obviously we're not telling people who don't speak English to use an English Bible. Avoid foolish questions, the Bible says. That is a foolish question. This is America. We speak English. We use the King James Bible. If we're in another country, speaking another language, then we'll talk about that. We'll talk about which Spanish Bible to use. We'll talk about which Bible to use in Portuguese, or which Bible to use in German or French. But it's just a foolish question of someone who can't see the blaring, obvious difference between a King James and an NIV, between a King James and an ESV. One of them is calling Joseph Jesus' father. One of them teaches that it's just God the Father is the only Father that Jesus had. You know, one of them is teaching that Jesus is eternally pre-existent from everlasting. The other says that Jesus had an origin. One of them is teaching that salvation is a narrow way and few are saved. Another one is teaching that it's hard to get saved, which implies work salvation. One of them teaches that you're already saved, the King James Bible. Another one teaches that you're being saved, the New King James, the NIV, the ESV, etc. There's a colossal difference, and yet people will ask foolish questions like, are you saying everybody in the world needs to learn English? No, I'm saying English speakers need to learn English. You know, I'm saying that people who speak English should read a King James Bible. You know, people who speak other languages should have the Bible in their own language in the tongue wherein they're born. But we should not sow the field with diverse seeds just using the version of the month, whatever the flavor of the month is, because they literally come out with a new version of the Bible every month. And because of copyright law, they all have to be at least 4% different from one another. So you do the math when you've got 400 and some versions and they're all 4% different from one another. God is not the author of confusion, but it breeds confusion. So the wrong Bible is a deal breaker. He also says in verse 11, thou shalt now wear a garment of diverse sorts as of woolen and linen together. Now, what's the difference between woolen and linen? Well, woolen is an animal-based garment. Linen is from sheep and linen is a plant-based textile. Linen is plant-based from flax. Now there's nothing wrong with wool and there's nothing wrong with linen. God's telling him, hey, don't mix wool and linen. Why did he not want them to mix that? Well, because again, it's symbolic. Because wool represents the lamb, Jesus. And if you remember, when Adam and Eve sinned, they tried to cover their own sin with a plant-based garment, an apron of fig leaves, right? And God replaced that with coats of skins, the animal-based garment, okay? And that pictured salvation through Jesus, putting on that robe of righteousness, being cloaked in his righteousness, the righteousness of the lamb versus that which is man-made. And then again, when we look at Cain, Cain brings an offering of the fruits of the ground, plant-based, okay? And then Abel brings the firstlings of the flock and the fat thereof, animal-based. What is it picturing? Again, Abel's reliance on the lamb, Jesus, as his salvation, Abel relying on the produce of his own works. And so when the Bible's saying here, don't wear a garment of woolen and linen together, he's saying the robe of righteousness that gets you saved, that wedding garment without which you will be cast into outer darkness is not a mixed garment of wool and linen. It's not a mixture of faith and works. It's not a mixture of Jesus plus what you've produced. No, it's all Jesus. Now look, there's nothing wrong with wool and there's nothing wrong with linen. Don't mix them. See, faith is great. Faith is what saves you. Works are great. Works are a great way to please the Lord. But don't mix them because they're two different things. They both have a place. The Bible teaches that linen is a good garment, that wool is a good garment. But he says don't mix the two. Don't mix faith and works. Don't mix that which saves you and then the Christian life that you live after you're saved. Because a lot of people, when we say, hey, you don't have to do works to be saved, they'll say, oh, you're against doing works. We're not against works. We're saying works don't save you. And works are a part of the Christian life and pleasing God and loving God, but they're not part of salvation. You say, hey, you don't have to repent of your sins to be saved. You're against repentance. You don't preach repenting of your sins. Yes, we do preach repenting of your sins for saved people to do every day. We all need to repent of sin throughout our lives. But when you try to mix that with grace and try to mix that with salvation, that's where you have a problem. And so what's the Bible teaching here? Don't mix the true seed, the incorruptible seed with the corruptible seed of false, twisted versions of the Bible. Don't mix salvation by faith with salvation by works. So these are the two first deal breakers in a church. Number one deal breaker is the wrong gospel because we're not going to mix wool and linen together. God says, you know, second deal breaker, wrong Bible. Don't sow diverse seeds. Accursed be he who adds to or takes from God's work. Accursed be he that preaches another gospel, but go to Revelation chapter two for another deal breaker.
