(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) Now both of these views are wrong The church age is wrong for so many different reasons Obviously the Bible teaches us in Ephesians chapter number three that glory shall be in the church throughout all ages Thank you Paul for writing that so we can use that today But here's another reason why it's so stupid to believe in a church age. Okay Because if you dig into what they believe in this and about this doctrine They'll say that the different church ages if you read those those stories in Revelation chapter 2 The characteristics of those churches is what characterizes that age of the churches of the churches in that age Does that make sense to everyone, you know, for example, they have the Laodicean era, right? Which is the Laodicean Church and the Laodicean Church obviously was a lukewarm church in the Bible So they'll say yeah, we're living in the Laodicean era because all the churches are lukewarm, you know speak for yourself We're not looking for I know we're going in and all these things we're preaching hard We're preaching the Bible people are fired up about the things of God You can't call us Laodicean Baptist Church But they'll say that those churches in Revelation the characteristics that you see there are the attributes of the churches of that age Does that make sense to everyone? Which is a stupid way of interpreting because of this Within those seven churches in revelations two and three you have a church called the church at Ephesus Which is an actual church that we can find in the Bible that Paul wrote to call the book of Ephesians Okay, does that make sense to everyone? Well, the problem that the church at Ephesus had is that they had left their first love Right. They had left their first love and the first love that it was referring to is the first works Which is talking about soul winning Well guess what other church you have When the book of Ephesians was written you have the book of first and second Thessalonians And what is the book of first and second Thessalonians say about the Thessalonians? From them sounding out the word of the Lord All right So these people at the church of Thessalonica were known for what for preaching the gospel Fervently to the point where their message would be was being sounded out in all the earth And IKEA and all those other places. So how does that fit if they're in the same church age? But they have different attributes then your seven church ages theology falls apart Because the church at Thessalonica is not like your church at Ephesus Thessalonians 4
