(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) and your word Lord and the words being read Lord we love you and just let me pray amen okay we're in Genesis chapter 4 this evening Genesis chapter 4 and look down at your Bibles at verse 14 it says behold thou has driven me out this day from the face of the earth and from thy face shall I be hid and I shall be a fugitive in a vagabond in the earth and it shall come to pass that everyone that fineth me shall slay me and the Lord said unto him therefore whosoever slaith Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold and the Lord set a mark upon Cain lest any finding him should kill him and Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden the title determined this evening is mark them mark them mark them now obviously this is a pretty familiar story to us in the book of Genesis chapter number four we find the story of Cain and Abel they're both brothers and we know that Abel according to the beginning of the chapter was a keeper of the sheep Cain was a tiller of the ground they both brought an offering unto the Lord God had a respect unto Abel's offering but he didn't respect Cain's offering the reason for that is because the offering that Cain brought to God was an offering of vegetation which was an offering that was not sanctioned by God the reason he had a respect unto Abel's offering was because of the fact that he offered him a not a living sacrifice an actual sacrifice he killed an animal and offered him like that and that was an offering that God had sanctioned for him to do we see later on that God or God rebukes Cain for doing this offering and the Bible says that Cain is Roth he's angry he's upset over the fact that God would not accept that offering so what does he do he takes matters into his own hands he doesn't repent and brings a correct offering he doesn't repent and brings an animal sacrifice instead he slays his brother he kills his own brother because the Bible says that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous according to 1st John chapter number 3 but we see that Abel brings an offering that's more excellent than Cain he obtains a witness that he's righteous and due to that Cain slays his brother now we see then that Cain receives a curse upon himself right God gives him a curse and obviously this is prior to the institution of the death penalty because obviously we understand that the Bible tells us that later on when God institutes the death penalty that if a man takes another man's life his life shall also be taken but at this point that's not the case so this is before the institution of the death penalty what he does instead is he puts a curse upon him look at verse number 11 it says and now art thou cursed from the earth which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand when thou tillest the ground it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth so what is the curse that Cain receives he's gonna be a fugitive a vagabond he will no longer have a permanent place to dwell in and part of that is that he's gonna till the ground and it's not gonna yield its strength it's not gonna yield its fruit he's not gonna become successful and prosper when he's trying to till the ground that's part of the curse that he receives because he took the life of his brother now what we see later on is that Cain he fears right he's afraid that someone's gonna take vengeance upon him because of the fact that he understands hey you reap what you sow so he doesn't want to reap what he sows he knows that if he's out there as a fugitive and a vagabond that ultimately he's gonna reap the consequences of his actions look at verse 13 he says and Cain said unto the Lord my punishment is greater than I can bear you kidding me Cain God didn't take your life you know he's still allowing you to live and yet this is still greater than he can bear he says in verse 14 behold thou has driven me out this day from the face of the earth and from thy face shall I be hid and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth and it shall come to pass that everyone that fineth me shall slay me so what is he afraid of he's afraid that someone might take his life verse 15 and the Lord said unto him therefore whosoever slaith Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold and the Lord set a mark upon Cain lest any finding him should kill him so what do we see we see that the mark that he places upon Cain it's not necessarily part of the curse the mark is actually meant to protect Cain so that no one takes vengeance upon him the curse was that he was gonna till the ground it wasn't gonna yield forth its strength and its fruit he was gonna be a fugitive in a vagabond but he set forth the mark upon him so that no one would harm him so that people would know this is Cain and that mark signifies that if I take his life someone's gonna take my life or I'm gonna suffer the consequences of it sevenfold so the mark was placed on him in order to identify him as this individual who took his brother's life now here's what's interesting is that you have the Mormons right and in 1844 the Mormons used to teach that the mark of Cain was black people you know they're like black people as a result of the mark of Cain why is everyone looking at Maury that's not what we believe folks okay that's what they believe though so they would look at a guy like Maury and be like oh man that's the mark of Cain now they don't teach that anymore but I guarantee there's still people who believe that but that was the curse that they said that's obviously nonsense to say that the color of the skin is the mark that God placed upon them you know what I mean because of Cain that's that's foolishness the mark that got placed on him was meant to protect him from those who would take vengeance upon him and so he wouldn't have a permanent place to dwell in that's how we see the mark being utilized the mark was first instituted in Genesis chapter 4 to identify Cain so that people would see Cain and know who he was that's what a mark is for right it's the mark that individual and say this individual took this person's life but if you take his life you're you will pay sevenfold because of that that's what that mark is therefore to identify him now go with me if you would tip Philippians chapter number three Philippians chapter three so we see this concept being used throughout the Bible of course we see it first mentioned in Genesis chapter 4 where Cain is being marked but we also see it in Ezekiel chapter 9 if you remember the story Ezekiel 9 he says God is telling the Prophet he says he cried also in my ears with a loud voice saying cause them that have charged over the city to draw near even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand and behold six men came from the way of the higher gate which lied toward the north and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand and one man among them was clothed with linen with the riders ink horn by his side and they went in and stood beside the brazen altar and the glory of God of Israel was gone up from the cherub whereupon he was to the threshold of the house and he called to the man clothed with white linen which had a riders ink horn by his side and the Lord said unto him go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof and we see later on the reason he puts that mark on their forehead is so that these people who had that mark the ones who sigh and cry for the abominations don't suffer the consequences of the land so when they come with a destroying weapon they don't harm the men who have the mark on the forehead so what do we see there it's used to identify the righteous people okay and we obviously see how the Antichrist will emulate that in the end times he will use that mark and I guarantee you he's gonna use Ezekiel chapter 9 to say we all got to take the mark on our foreheads and destroy those who don't have the mark okay but we see there that it's being used to emulate or to identify individuals I'm gonna read to you from Psalm 37 verse 37 the Bible says here mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace so what is the Bible teaching us here in Psalm 37 it's telling us hey you need to observe and identify perfect men now that doesn't mean perfect as in sinless what does that mean complete mature men who are entire wanting nothing men who have their stuff together right they walk with God they're serving the Lord they're fulfilling their God-given roles and the Bible saying here you need a mark that individual identify them and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace and if you want to emulate if you want to have a successful life you need to mark those who have a successful life right you know we would say hey you should mark the individuals in our church who are successful in the area that you want to be successful in if they've raised godly children if they have a great walk with God if they're great soul owners if they're great Christians mark them identify that individual because that's someone who you should emulate if you want to be successful if they've been successful in their Christian life mark that individual identify them behold that person because the end of that man is peace that's a biblical concept God is always constantly talking about this mark this individual identify them mark the perfect man look at Philippians chapter 3 and verse 17 brethren be followers together of me and mark them which walk so as he have us for an in sample so he's telling them look you should follow me but you should also mark those who are like me right you should also mark those who walk like we walk as an example so this would be like me telling you hey you guys should follow me but you know you all should you should do is mark other pastors right who walk so as you have us for an example she should look for pastors who are like-minded who are righteous men who are godly men and mark them say that's the kind of guy that I want to follow other than my pastor right and it's not bad to follow multiple people as long as those multiple people are righteous people who are gonna lead you in the way of righteousness okay you know Paul does not he doesn't have a complex about himself he's not like only follow me only follow me I'm your leader I'm your pastor only listen to me no he's saying look be follows together of me and mark them you should identify other men of God because there are other men of God who love the Lord who you can follow learn from etc okay he says in verse 18 why for many walk of whom I've told you often and now tell you even weeping that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ that's interesting so what's the purpose of marking the righteous man to distinguish them from the unrighteous men right so this would show us that people can often get confused over who's righteous and who's not how would they be confused because they both have the same label that's why they both have the same label as being Baptist Christian pastors new IFB they claim to have to believe the right the same doctrines so what is what are we supposed to do mark the right ones so that we know who are the bad ones right mark the righteous men so that in light of that we are able also to identify the wicked men okay whose end is destruction whose God is their belly whose glory is in their shame who mind earthly things so let's look at some examples of the Apostle Paul marking people because this is again a biblical concept and remember the concept of marking people is meant to identify people in other words God doesn't want us to be left in obscurity he doesn't want us to be left in ambiguity and wonder man who who should I follow who should I listen to God wants us to know exactly who go to Romans chapter 16 Romans chapter 16 let's start off on a very good note okay Paul marks good people right he marks good people all the time what does that mean he calls them out by name you know what do we do this morning when we were announcing the winners of the fall program we were marking and honoring those who did well amen by name we were like all right we don't want to tell who who won here you know we're not gonna we don't want to you know we don't honor people like that we don't want to do that no we want to mark people and say hey this person is worthy of honor did a good job they brought visitors they attended church they went soul winning let's mark that individual and say their name right look at Romans 16 verse 1 this this like for 16 verses Paul is just marking a bunch of people and I find it interesting that pastors out there hate it when people call out people by name wicked people we tell them hey Paul did that no yeah but that's the apostle Paul but they never talk about this where he's marking good people right look what it says I commit unto you Phoebe our sister which is a servant of the church which is at chantria so this would be like me commending DJ because she brought a grip of visitors to church all right they he received her in the Lord has become of the Saints and that he assists her in whatsoever business she hath need of you for she has been a sucker of many and of myself also greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus who have for my life laid down their own necks unto whom not only I give thanks but also all the churches of the Gentiles so he's bragging about all these people he's talking about their works that they've done he's just honoring them is what he's doing likewise greet the church that is in their house salute my well beloved Epinatus who is the first roots of a K unto Christ greet Mary who bestowed much labor on us salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen my fellow prisoners who are of note among the Apostles who also were in Christ before me greet amply as my beloved in the Lord salute urbane our helper in Christ and stacky is my beloved salute a palace approved in Christ salute them which are of Aristobulus his house salute Herodian my kinsmen greet them to be of the house of the of narcissus which are in the Lord salute Tryphina and Tryphosa who labor in the Lord salute the beloved Persis which labored much in the Lord I mean he just keep going on and on and on and on oh you should not live with the left no let the left hand know what the right hand doeth why is he doing that he's embarrassing people no because the Bible teaches that we should give honor honors do these people are worthy of honor it would be it wouldn't be honoring though if he talked about them and didn't name their names they go salute that one brother over there at that church you know I don't want to say who they are because it's not it's not right for me to call out names like that how are they gonna honor them how are they gonna identify who they are salute Rufus I like that name salute Rufus chosen in the Lord and his mother and mine salute as centricus Phlegon Hermes Patrobus Hermes and the brethren which are with them salute Phylologus and Julia Nereus and his sister Olympus and all the saints which are with them salute one another with the holy kiss the churches of Christ salute you so he marks at least 27 people that's a lot of people and I say at least because he talks about a household we don't know how many people are in that household so approximately 27 people are called out by name it's like me just calling out everyone in here you know just by name hey salute Glenn for he labored much in the Lord and South Central salute high consume because they you know have been hospitable in their own home they bring people to their house and feed them fun all this other stuff salute them salute John because he does a great job playing the piano or a playing in the orchestra salute Eric brash because he does a great job playing the piano who serves Lord well in the music ministry salute Adam because he does well in the PA system sometimes I'm just kidding it's like salute them right calling them out by name look no one would like flinch at that they'd be like oh yeah that's that's right call them out by name honor them by name that's we should do that and you know this is what ticks me off when people want to cherry-pick what we should do that the Apostles did and they want to say well we shouldn't do the other things like the negative things that he did it's like oh yeah we should call out people by name when we're honoring that but now when they're doing something bad you're not the Apostle Paul you can't do that says who I'm supposed to follow this entire example and I do I you just heard me call out a bunch of people right now hey salute will who has labored in the Philippines right salute who else let's see we got here salute Chevy who's recording us a Christmas CD plays the guitar up here it's okay to do that every once in a while don't get offended if I didn't call your name on it right and the household of first works Baptist Church there I just there you go the Bible tells us in Romans 13 7 render therefore to all their dues tribute to whom tribute is to custom to whom custom fear to whom fear honor to whom honor but how do we do that by identifying them by showing them this is the individual I'm talking about that's how you mark that's marking them right so what have we learned about this biblical concept of marking so far well number one marking identifies an individual and sets them apart number two marking identifies the perfect man good man right number three marking identifies those who are worthy of honor and number four in order to effectively mark names must be dropped right got to drop the names got to say who we're talking about God said a mark upon Cain he said a mark upon those in Ezekiel chapter 9 now in the New Testament we can't necessarily physically mark someone although I wish that we could okay so the way we mark people in the New Testament is we use their names that's how you mark someone okay now let me ask you a question is verse 17 in Romans 16 still part of chapter 16 yes or no yeah are we is he still all is all this still in context okay just checking verse 17 now I beseech your brethren mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which he have learned and avoid them now in case you're wondering what that looks like he just gave you 27 examples of how to mark individuals well Paul how do we do that by saying their name I just showed you I just marked good people and then he says on the opposite side of that now I beseech you brethren mark them which cause divisions so just as he's marking them who are worthy of honor he's telling them mark them which cause divisions because the opposite side of those who are doing well are those who are doing wickedly so he's saying mark those who are doing well mark those who have labored mark those who have preached the gospel mark the godly but you know what also mark those who are causing divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which he have learned and this is what he says and avoid them because those who you're marking who are worthy of honor he doesn't say avoid them right he that walketh with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed so when we mark the perfect man we're supposed to be close to them learn from them fellowship with them learn from them talk with them you understand and when we mark those who cause divisions and offenses we avoid them what does it mean to avoid them we have nothing to do with them why verse 18 for they there are such served not our Lord Jesus Christ there he said it but their own belly and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple hmm isn't that interesting what does that mean that they flatter people and look folks if you're a righteous person you don't have to flatter you just speak you just are honest you speak you don't have to you know try to deceive people but wicked individuals who are teaching things contrary they're teaching offenses contrary what do they do they're they use fair speech to try to deceive the simple now look Paul did this throughout his ministry you know 1st Timothy 1 go to 2nd Timothy chapter 2 1st Timothy 1 20 let's just look at a couple of examples of whom is hymenaeus for 1st Timothy 1 20 of whom is hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme whoa Paul why calling names like that oh cuz Jesus did it yeah but that's Jesus though Jesus did that not you let Jesus do that he's God he's the Son of God that's a stupid argument folks of whom is hymenaeus and Alexander he said he's identifying these two wicked individuals who are blaspheming look at 2nd Timothy 2 17 and their word will eat as doth a canker of whom is hymenaeus and Philetus who by the way are the first preterites to ever be recorded because they were teaching that the resurrection is passed already and what is Paul doing he's calling them out hymenaeus and Philetus go to 2nd Timothy chapter 4 yeah but that's the Apostle Paul so would you show me in the Bible where it says the word to emulate the Apostles in one action and not emulate them in another you show me when the Bible when he says to preach the word to be instant in season out of season reprove rebuke exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine you show me what part of that command says we're not to drop the names like Paul did who made you the standard who taught you the standard to teach to us 2nd Timothy 4 14 Alexander and just sure in case you're wondering which one he's talking about the coppersmith he's I'm gonna tell you what he does for a living to Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil the Lord reward him according to his works oh that's so childish Kim do you saying that where's the love in your heart pause just being real folks real godly the Lord reward him according to his works he did me much evil the Lord reward him according to his works he's not like hey that one coppersmith I'm not gonna say whose name is but that well you know you know I'm talking about the coppersmith no he said Alexander look at 2nd Timothy chapter 4 yeah but that's you know that's false prophets though you know okay false prophets sometimes he just called out brothers in Christ who I mean he was the Peter to the face but how about this look at 2nd Timothy 4 verse 10 for Demas has forsaken me having loved this present world just shamed him in front of everyone folks Demas has been spoken about for the last 2,000 years never name your child Demas right that name is tarnished by the way not just for that for just 2,000 years for the rest of eternity for all of eternity for demons hath forsaken me why because he loved this present world and is departed unto Thessalonica Cretans to Galatia Titus to Dalmatia so what do we see calling out the names and I'm sick and tired of this idea of pastor saying well that's the Apostle Paul you're not the Apostle Paul well show me the Bible where it says that you can only say these things if you're the Apostle show me that command of the Bible you know by the way if it were to some preachers that you just wouldn't preach the Bible at all if we're up to some preachers we just stick to the book of John only the positives of the book of John and somehow in their mind they think well you know yeah all this negative stuff in the Bible we're just stay away from all folks the vast majority of the Bible is negative and if he tells us to preach the entire Council of God that includes the negative don't tell me what I can and can't preach you need to sit down and shut up is what you need to do if you're not interested in preaching controversial sermons and calling out people who need to be called out and sit down and shut up and let the men of God who believe the Bible do that job for you take your gaslighting water down preaching back to the old IP where it belongs because that's where it belongs folks Paul said in First Thessalonians 5 14 now we exhort you brethren warned them that are unruly how do you do that without calling out the names okay let's just say for a second let's just pretend let's go to candy land and pretend for a little bit that we're not supposed to act like the Apostle Paul and call out the names well we got a problem because Paul just said warned them that are unruly what does that require name-dropping Colossians 1 28 whom we preach warning every man how do you warn them without explaining to who you're warning them about it's ridiculous go to Acts chapter 20 Acts chapter 20 I'm all for marking people and you know I wish that in my old IP Church they did mark people like that and there are times when they did there are times when my father-in-law would drop a name here and there but you know I wish it was done so much the more because it left us in obscurity when we didn't know who they were talking about I rather I'm sure you take security knowing well I know who he's talking about because he uses name right that means this person is dangerous that means this person is wicked okay look at Colossians 2 28 take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost have made you overseers to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood look what it goes on to say for I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves entering among you not sparing the flock so when he says take heed unto thyself and to feed the flock of God wouldn't you say that's in tandem with the fact that there is grievous wolves trying to come in not sparing the flock the way he takes heed unto the way they take heed unto themselves is by exposing the false prophets and the wolves of that day and that's what I'm doing tonight he says of Alexander the coppersmith I didn't read verse 15 it says of whom be thou where also for he hath greatly withstood our words what does it mean where it means aware so he's telling him you need to be aware of Alexander and what I'm doing tonight is making you aware of certain people okay so mark number one marking number one Jesse Wohler now if you don't know who Jesse Wohler is don't worry about it just you know learn this principle of marking Jesse Wohler was an individual who came to our church with his wife and his child and this guy is ungodly he's an ungodly individual and I'm explaining to you why I'm marking him tonight by the way he already moved away he's not part of our church so he's not getting excommunicated because he's not part of our church anymore but lest he should ever come back or lest some of our church members ever feel like they need to keep in touch with him I'm me as your pastor I'm marking him tonight why because he has racist ungodly views that's why and folks let me just say this is that racism should never exist within Christianity right because in Christ Jesus there is no neither Jew nor Gentile and this guy came in here claiming that he wasn't and I even confront him I said hey you know are you racist he's like no you know people think that I am but no it's actually a misunderstanding I'm not racist I like already all races and all these things yet he goes to Tennessee he takes Alex Solis and Moses with him on that trip and he plays for them this ungodly rap racist music I was gonna print out the lyrics that I couldn't cuz it's so foul so disgusting so ungodly I couldn't read it for you how about killing people that's wicked he's telling me he's not racist to my face why because I'm the pastor that's why oh but he thinks it's okay to go to certain people in our church and teach him this nonsense let me just show you how racist this individual is I mean you go ahead mark him and kiss you oh I think you're just exaggerating pastor he told Moses that he couldn't go sowing with this guy right here this black fellow right here Maury because of the fact that a white woman is married to him a bunch of nonsense folks kind of crap is that he said I can't go so and then Moses is just like why would I mean this is a gospel presentation my stuff or something what oh it's because he's a white woman married him let me take it a step further let me let me tell you what else he said he says obviously they can't get divorced cuz that's ungodly you know it's against the Bible but someone he's like but maybe I could slap some sense into her that's funny stop some senses to her he wouldn't do it tomorrow though because Maury would destroy him look more he's nice man but don't mess with Maury the guy will just like disintegrate him kind of filthy ungodly garbage is that and if you agree with that get out I agree with that nonsense we're Christians in here we have Christ as our Savior Jesus Christ died for all races folks and look yes I know the Jews are wicked I get that but when you take it to the extent where you just want to kill them and say all manner of evil against them and just think that they're all reprobate folks I know the vast majority of them are ungodly and many of them are reprobate but not all of them and no I'm not in a campaign to go win Jews to Christ obviously we're not gonna go to the synagogue this Saturday and go reason with them out of the Scriptures he's a liar and he's a deceiver because he told me he wasn't racist yeah and it's funny because Ulysses Todd was talking to him one time and Ulysses asked him was like you know he kind of got that feeling like is this guy racist towards black people and he asked him like have you talked to Maury and you know what he said about what it's like nothing just like talk to him it's like oh yeah yeah I've talked to him it's a guilty person folks spreading his stupid racist views as they drive across the country to help them move these guys went to go help and move and he's just like here's my chance play this stupid rap by the way rap is stupid isn't rap made by black people by the way right right yeah isn't hip-hop made by Jews but let me tell you why I'm also marking this individual because not only because of his racist views and the stuff that he said against Maury and his family but he's he's being marked because he's a flat earther that's why he's a flat earther he didn't tell me that and here's this is why I say he's so deceitful these is why people like this are deceitful they don't want to tell the leadership they want to fish around the church to find out who they can tell and folks if they came up to you and told you that you're a flat earther you should feel highly disrespected because they probably see you as a pigeon he's a flat earther and then I hate hearing this oh but that's not damn devil heresy the only times I've heard that or when I talk crap about the flat earth someone always comes up in the comments section someone always messages me but that's not damn devil heresy who said I didn't say it was damn devil heresy it's just stupid and folks let me just remind you of something people get thrown out of church not just for 1st Corinthians 5 not just for damn devil heresy but also for Romans 16 for teaching these that are contrary to the doctrines which he have learned causing divisions and offenses that are contrary to that what you have learned and flat earth is just that you know what you know why I don't want flat earthers in our church because they're stupid that's why idiots and you better hope you're not flat earther in here here cuz yeah I'm calling you stupid you come up to me after we're church and you say well I'm a flat earther I'm gonna say well you're stupid you know he had these uh these orchestra practices at his house and that's where he divulged to certain people in our church that he was a flat earther folks when someone tells me they're a flat earther they just completely discredit themselves as being an intelligent person and look this is why I get upset when I hear people that deny the moon landing they deny gravity immediately suspect to me and I know those people in our church that are like that I'm just telling you that's why I get immediately suspect about that because that's always associated with flat earth I know those of you who believe that you know we didn't go to the moon you're not flat earth because we've talked about that already I'm just telling you the vast majority of people who deny that are flat earthers and don't tell me well I just don't think there's just enough evidence to prove that the earth isn't flat read the Bible Isaiah 40 22 is all you need he says upon the circle of the earth it's not a two-dimensional object folks doesn't exist in the real world read the Spanish Bibles any from any year instead of circle though I agree with circle it says global oh they're all wrong you idiot damnable heresy is not the only thing you get thrown out for it it's not the only thing you get thrown out for and look just to prove that he is divisive is the mere fact that he didn't tell me and why did he wait till like towards the end to tell everyone else mark them which caused the visions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which he have learned to avoid them and I understand I have listeners out there in YouTube land who are flat earthers I have no idea why they listen because I disrespect them all the time bunch of idiots fools and idiots so he's marked tonight why am I marking him because I can't throw him out because he's not part of our church he doesn't go to our church so you know what I have to do now is identify him as being a wicked individual because he's deceitful he's a racist he's a flat earther that's why and don't I mean he's in Tennessee so I'm calling pastor Fritz this week let him know about him why cuz I'm marking him that's why hey look folks I gave him the benefit of the doubt there's some of you who are suspicious of Jesse and I was not I defended him to you I love that guy I love this family I thought there were great people because I give as a pastor I always give them the benefit of the doubt to the very end and people in our church get mad about that they're like oh you should have done something about her I'm a pastor I can't just throw people under the bus and just be suspicious of everyone I got to try to believe that everyone is good at least until they prove otherwise but now I'm marking him so what does it mean to mark him by the way you need to respect my decision when I mark people like that so well you know I don't really agree with that so I'm still gonna text him yeah well tell me that you're doing that so I can see so the marking can just continue to go into you and look folks if you don't like the decisions that I make here in that regard then go find a different church where you can follow that authority the doors right there I do not want a pastor of people who are not willing to follow authority you should be able to trust me in that area marking number two Steve Politis now I've waited on this for a long time guys I've held my tongue and calling this guy out for a long time and you know why because I love brother police at one time he was a friend of mine I thought he was a great church member but you know what ever since this whole coronavirus thing came about he became an enemy of our church him and his wife and I'm gonna tell you why I'm marking him for facilitating Jesse's deception because lo and behold they're friends and you know what he's gone I'm talking about police has been gone since the beginning of the year yeah right you know cuz cuz I closed down the church let me just get this off my chest real quick he leaves our church because I supposedly closed down the church even though there's people in our church he calls me and he tells me I disagree with what you're doing okay well I'm still doing it I mean sorry you disagree he comes from faith Baptist Church pastored by Bruce Goddard who's his pastor who defends all the pedophiles that are found out and exposed at his church including the most recent one Victor what's his last name Mendez Montoya or something what is it Montero Victor Montero who's a who's a flat-out pedophile defended him defended him stapled he's has the nerve to tell me during this whole pandemic thing when I was closing down the church oh yeah you remind me of Bruce Goddard when he used to stand for for righteousness and things like that basically insinuating that I'm gonna head where he's at where I'm tolerating pedophiles now the fine irony he's criticizing Bruce Goddard for being some pedophile defending pastor and guess where he goes to Bruce Goddard's Church he goes to faith back he told people he said Bruce Goddard is disqualified as a pastor where does he go Bruce got his church he says he's disqualified himself as a pastor goes to his church and he wants to compare me to that nonsense that's going on over there but this is why I'm marking him because when Jesse told him because you know he left our church already then he was a flat-earther you know what police tells him well don't tell anybody at the church because you might get kicked out it's not well hey brother that's a wicked doctrine you know I don't get along too much with past from here but I'm gonna tell him that you said that it's not you know what I shouldn't have anything to do with this I'm gonna call him let him know that information you guys need to hash that out no he says no what you need to do is not tell anybody at the church because if you do you might get kicked out facilitating his deception the Bible says lay hands suddenly on no man neither be partakers of other men's sins and those of you who knew that Jesse was a flat-earther yeah I'll be merciful this time but you better have learned your lesson you know some wicked information about individuals who merit being kicked out of our church that you know the past from here would confront that individual you better come to me and tell me about that don't weasel around and say man should I tell him maybe I shouldn't maybe I should until the very last minute let it be known let it be known then I'm not angry at you I'm not mad at those guys I love the guys in our church they're my brothers in Christ I have I harbored no bitterness towards any individual like that I'm just teaching you for future reference you know something like that you come tell the pastor sick and tired of these Instagram stories and posts attacking our church soon as they left his wife posts on social media oh our Thursdays are so much better now in the words of Janelle Gonzalez yeah our Thursdays are too and I'm not kicking them out because they're not part of our church right I'm just marking them in case someone in our church is still friends with them oh oh you know it's interesting you know we talked about those who flatter and all that you know in context of Romans chapter 16 you know but the Chevy came up to me and he said hey it's weird that referring to Jen police and stay police that's weird they sent my wife a gift for our baby and I was like oh okay and he says but they never talked to us when they were here huh bladder yeah he said that's weird they never she never talked to my wife they never talked to us when we were here why all of a sudden yeah I'll tell you why to pervert judgment that's why right that is why they do that because they know that good old-fashioned pastor Mejia is gonna be preaching against them and they want to make sure they solidify the opinion in the minds of the congregants when they hear my preaching oh they're not that bad they sent me a gift they're not that bad we hung out well looks like I screwed up that plan it's called flattery folks and thank God the Chevy has the the sense to know that when he told me I was like this guy's all right you know brother Chevy he's sent me a gift they never talked to us it's weird it's wicked huh Chevy is the best person to go soul wanting to tell another person they're going to hell it's like the nicest way to tell someone they're going to hell you know you're going to hell when he told me that I was just like right on Chevy cuz he that means he has this charming he knows he accepted give those like wow these people are great he's like that's weird why would they do that they never talked to us when they were here they never did things like that when we were here why all of a sudden marking them they're marked I don't want nothing to do with them either I want nothing to do with them marking number three manly Perry manly Perry's getting mark today tonight by our church for being a damnable heretic and let me just say this is that he's not saved manly Perry is not saved folks this guy's teaching wicked damnable heresy the most recent thing and by the way he's doubling down on it too it's not like he taught some weird thing and he was corrected and then he corrected that no he's just doubling down just taking on and layering on the the false doctrine what's the what's the most recent thing that he's saying oh Jesus didn't die yeah yeah you heard right Jesus did not die that's what he said we're talking before the service he's probably a one-us heretic cuz he's saying how can Jesus die if he's got what is he insinuating well obviously God the Father didn't die it was Jesus Christ who died but he's saying Jesus Christ did not die because he's gone folks Jesus died first he said no one burns in hell he said no one roasts in hell he said no one burns in hell and now he's coming out saying well Jesus didn't die and then he mocks the fact that people believe that Jesus died he mocks it that's not our God folks did you know that Jesus Christ death is part of the gospel the Bible says in 1st Corinthians 15 1 moreover brother I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you which also you have received and wherein you stand by which also you're saved if you keep in memory what I preached unto you unless you have believed in vain like manly Perry for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures folks time would not permit for me to go through all the scriptures to say that Jesus Christ died he died folks and he's over here saying no he didn't die what what did he do that folks if he didn't die then why would we say he resurrected what is he resurrecting from from life hello now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead I'll say some of you that there is no resurrection of the dead but if there be no resurrection of the dead and Christ is now risen in order for Christ to rise that means he had to have been risen from the dead I mean I don't really have to teach this this is just obvious and you wonder how can so he reminds me of Tyler Doka yeah coming out with these strange doctrines and I'm just telling you right now he's Mark I want nothing to do with that heretic people at old Baptist or old paths Baptist Church need to leave that guy unless you're a heretic just like him then stick there with him may your hell be as hot as his yeah I said it if you're there defending that heretic for all the blasphemy that he said all the wickedness that he's preaching and you love what he's saying you deserve the same hell that he's going to but if there's sincere people there who don't agree with that then just go somewhere else go to the most watered-down safe pastor there is it's still a lot better and I'm joking obviously there's pastors out there who in Texas who preach great you got pastor Shelley I don't know how far that is from old past I know Texas is massive probably takes like four days to get there or something but I guarantee you there's old there's an old I feature summer there would they have a safe pastor who believes that Jesus died don't double down like that pastor look if you've criticized the the new IFB along with him okay we'll forget it but just leave that place don't make your forehead like an adamant stone because you've already talked a bunch of crap about the new IFB you feel like you have to double down to shouldest that help the ungodly and love them to hate the Lord folks therefore wrath is upon thee before the Lord he's marked you know and look I'm not telling you unsubscribe from that guy you should have enough sense to unsubscribe I'm not commanding that like he does you better unsubscribe from that brother new IFB out there I'm subscribe if you stay subscribed you deserve to subscribe to that channel if that's what you want if you like that kind of preaching you deserve it yeah stick with it in fact move your rear end over there and go to that guy's church marking is biblical don't get offended at this marking is a biblical concept I just showed you I was very nice in the beginning sermon to show you how biblical it is we started off in a positive note I mean well Cain is not that positive but you know showing how Paul marked good people it's a good thing to amen it's a good thing either way whether you mark good people or bad it's necessary it's needed and every once in a while I got to get up and show you who are people who are teaching things that are contrary who are creating offenses contrary to the doctrines which you have learned you know I'm telling all of you avoid them avoid them avoid Jesse Wohler right avoid Steve Politis avoid him avoid Manley Perry I mean do we even need we say that it's pretty obvious marketing is a good thing and look folks at least you know where I stand at least you know it's not you're not questioning it look like I said what brother Politis or Steve Politis I don't even know if he's a brother maybe he's still saved I don't know maybe he's like a demons who have forsaken me having loved Bruce Goddard or something say people can go pretty far folks Jehoshaphat went pretty far supporting Ahab just keep that in mind but what I'm saying is you know I waited a long time for that because I was waiting for him to just repent and get right when I find out he's facilitating the deceit of others who hate our church I'm done with that I have no interest and fellowship with an individual like that and if you're a flat-earther who's listening to this sermon don't come I don't want you in my church how are you gonna grow the church the biblical way it's what some are people pray father we thank you so much for your word and Lord thank you for marking people in the Bible to set forth an example for us shame on the pastor who says we shouldn't do so shame on him pray God that you'd help us Lord please continue to make manifest the folly of the infiltrators I pray that very often and you always come through on that prayer as a pastor it could be scary sometimes wondering who's coming through our church you don't want to suspect everyone but you don't want to trust everyone either and I pray Lord that you continue to to operate the way you have been and make and manifest their folly exposing them for who they really are please continue to protect us Lord continue to give me discernment and wisdom to call these people out Lord and warn the flock so we can continue to prosper go forward that no leaven should be in this church Lord we pray Lord for those people at old paths those who are normal those who are saved those who know the voice of the shepherds may you give them the confidence to just leave and if there's if no one leaves and they love it there and then Lord help them to face the consequences of their actions as soon as possible and I pray God the Lord that you'd continue to be with our church here thank you for all the souls that were saved this week at the marathon and all the great works that are being accomplished we love you so much and we thank you pray these things in Jesus name amen
