Thank you so much for coming to Steadfast Baptist Church. If you didn't already get a bulletin, you can always slip your hand up nice and high and an usher can come by and get you one. And I had planned on being here a little bit earlier with donuts, so it's an exception. If you want to go ahead and get a donut during the announcements, this is your time. So if you want to get one for your kiddos, if you want to get up, there's lots of donuts. There's no shame at all. And so, you know, you can still walk and talk and listen, I think, right? So all you have to do is walk and listen, but if you'd like to get up, there's plenty of donuts over there and you can cut one in half if you need to or whatever but especially if it's got the Mickey Mouse face on it. I think I got one of those. You can cut them right in half or whatever. But thanks for being here this morning. On the inside, we have our service and soul-winning times as well as our church stats. We have a list of expecting ladies. Please keep all of them in your prayers. We also have a pretty large prayer list. Please keep them in your prayers. We have a lot of people that have been sick with all kinds of various illnesses and issues, and so if you keep them in your prayers. If you have any other prayer requests, please submit them to our SteadfastBaptistKGV at gmail.com email. Also on the back, we have a list of upcoming events. We're going to start doing some music ministry practice at 4 p.m. here at the church just to practice for our conference. So if you are participating, if you're able to play an instrument for our conference or you'd like to for any of the services, please try to show up for our practices just to make sure everybody is well-practiced and everything's going to sound really good for our services. And also, those who are leading it said you can even show up if you want to and just listen, sing, participate. It's welcome for all to participate and come and show up. Also, September 11th, which is coming up, we're going to have our Shreveport, Louisiana soul-winning marathon. There is a sign-up sheet over here. Please sign up. I need to submit information as far as our food orders and stuff like that by Monday, so I'm going to pretty much make all that, but if you're able to participate, please just let us know. And then September 25th, Pure Words Baptist Church is having their third annual false Bible burning. That's going to be an all-day soul-winning marathon, and then around 5 p.m., we're going to have kind of a cookout and some Bible burning, false Bible burning, let's say it that way. It's not even the Bible. It's just fake literature that claims to be a Bible. And then October 2nd, we have a fall swap. October 6th to the 10th, we have our conference, and I put a video out there with some details, but again, we're going to have a lot of events throughout the day even. So on Thursday, we have ice skating. Friday, there's Lady Coffee Tea Hour. Saturday, we have a kid's spelling bee. We have a singles event, and then we have soul-winning every single day as well. So a lot of soul-winning, fellowship, and preaching. I would really encourage you the service times. It's going to be the normal service time on Wednesday at 7 p.m., but then Thursday is going to be at 6, and Friday is going to be at 6. So if you want to participate in all of those services, I'll be preaching the Sunday morning and Sunday evening service, and hopefully we're going to get a guest preacher for our Spanish services that week. So I'm really excited about it, and there's going to be a lot of fun stuff going on. November 13th, there's also an Oklahoma City soul-winning marathon, and so lots of soul-winning marathons, lots of events, and really our soul-winning counts have been about par for last year and the years before, but we wanted to try and finish this year strong. We want to go ahead and really knock it out, and I feel like a lot of people are still very interested in the gospel, and so we just need to go out there and bring it to them. And this morning's sermon is going to be a little bit different than some of my other sermons I've preached. It's going to be called Forced Vaccination, and it's probably going to be really hard to share online and stuff, but I am going to try and put it on our website and other avenues so you can still find it and locate it afterwards if you'd still like to listen or share that information. But I did put out a small video telling people that I do have a vaccination exemption form that I prepared for our church for anybody that would like one, and I was going to print off a few that we can put on the cabinet if you need them, or you can just go online. If you just go to our website, which SBCKJV.com actually redirects currently to SteadfastBaptistKJV.org, but if you're at our main website and you do slash vax, just V-A-X, it'll come up with a page, and you can download that PDF and print it yourself. It has a line where you can fill out your name if you need to put that information, and it also has a sermon that I preached at Pure Words several years ago called Vaccination Snake Oil. That sermon did not last online at all for a while. I mean, that was censored way before the censorship got out of control, and so I still recommend that sermon. I think it was a good sermon. It talks about a lot of other things. I'm not going to re-preach that sermon. My sermon this morning is going to be a lot different, but I do recommend listening to it if you've never listened to it, just to get a perspective of what's going on in the world today. Again, if you have a problem in this area, as far as you bring in that form even, and your employer or somebody does not like it or wants it to say something different, or it needs to have your name typed in there or something, just let me know and I'll send you a fresh copy of whatever it is that you need. Just email me, contact me, and I'll provide you with whatever that you would like. So that's pretty much all I have for announcements. Hopefully they taste a little bit better than normal, and you can buckle up for the longest sermon you've ever heard. No, I'm just kidding. Alright, we'll go to our third song for this morning. 98? The song 98. I know you got donuts, so try to sing between bites, you know? Try the mask. You gotta take a bite, put the mask on. Song number 98, The Name of Jesus. All together. The name of Jesus is so sweet I love its music to repeat It makes my joys full and complete The precious name of Jesus Jesus, oh how sweet the name Jesus, every day the same Jesus, let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever I love the name of Him whose heart Knows all my griefs and bears apart Who bids all anxious fears depart I love the name of Jesus Jesus, oh how sweet the name Jesus, every day the same Jesus, let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever That name I fondly love to hear It never fails my heart to cheer Its music drives a falling tear The name of Jesus Jesus, oh how sweet the name Jesus, every day the same Jesus, let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever No word a man can ever tell How sweet the name I love so well Oh, let its praises ever swell Oh, praise the name of Jesus Jesus, oh how sweet the name Jesus, every day the same Jesus, let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever Amen. Good singing. As the offering plates are being passed around, please turn your Bibles to Matthew chapter 9. Matthew chapter 9. Matthew chapter 9. Matthew chapter 9, the Bible reads, Faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer, Thy sins be forgiven thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For weather is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, then saith he to the sick of the palsy, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose and departed to his house. But when the multitude saw it, they marveled and glorified God which had given such power unto men. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the receipt of custom, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that behold need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth. I will have mercy and not sacrifice, for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast off, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the brine chamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles, else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler and worshipped them, saying, My daughter is even now dead, but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples. And behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, he said unto them, Give place, for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. But when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this. They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you. And their eyes were opened, and Jesus straightly charged them, saying, See that no man knoweth. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man, possessed with the devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. Father, we thank you for the morning service here at said fast Baptist church, and the fact that we have the opportunity to gather in your name. I pray that you would fill Pastor Shelley with your spirit, and help him to proclaim his message for us this morning with boldness, and also that you would minimize distractions for us so we can learn as much as possible from this very important message that our pastors prepared for us this morning. We love you, and just thank you so much for our church. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Amen. I want to start my sermon off in verse number 12, where the Bible reads, But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Now, in the context of Matthew chapter number 9, when Jesus Christ is talking to the Pharisees, the scribes, the Jews, to this group of people, he's speaking spiritual truths, and he's often talking in parables. What we have to understand about a parable is that Jesus Christ and God uses carnal truths to expound spiritual truths. Now, the spiritual truth that's being expounded here is that many Jews did not feel like they needed a savior. They felt like they were righteous with God by following the law, or because they were a Jew, or some outward physical work that they did. That's why they thought they were right with God. And Jesus Christ is pointing out the fact that if you think you're whole, if you're healthy, if you don't have any problems, why would you seek a physician? And ultimately he's saying, if you guys don't think you're sinners, if you guys don't think that you're on your way to Hell, why would you come to me and ask for eternal life? And so that's why he's trying to point out the fact that, obviously, people seeking a doctor, it's because they're sick, or they have some kind of a physical ailment that they're asking to be of. And that's the same thing spiritually, is when we realize we're sinners, deserving of Hell, that should lead us and compel us to want a savior, to want to have a need for Jesus Christ. And really, when we go out and preach the Gospel, the first part of our Gospel presentation is just helping people realize that they're sick, so-called, spiritually speaking. The fact that they're a sinner, the fact that they deserve Hell, the fact that they have a problem, so that they will seek need of Health, they will seek need of the great physician, known as Jesus Christ, and ultimately that they can get forgiveness of sins through putting their faith alone in Jesus Christ. But Jesus Christ, while giving this spiritual truth, and that's the most important truth you could get from this verse, is not discounting the fact that this is still a carnal truth. If you're totally healthy, if you're completely well, what's the point of needing a doctor? A doctor's there to solve a physical ailment, or some kind of an illness, or some kind of a problem with someone. So if you're healthy, it doesn't make any sense to then seek out medical intervention. And really, that's what I base my philosophy, the principle I take when it comes to healthcare. You know, if I am not sick, I don't feel like I need the doctor. Now, I'm not against a wellness check, or someone assessing your health, because ultimately they're determining if you do need the doctor, right? But I'm not going to go and ask the doctor for drugs, or ask the doctor to perform some kind of a surgery on me when I feel perfectly well. When there's nothing wrong with me, I'm not going to say, hey, can you give me brain surgery? Hey, can you replace my lungs? Hey, can you give me some new blood, or some new drugs? If I'm healthy, I don't need any of that, right? And so it's illogical then to ask for it to seek it out. Now, when it comes to modern day medicine, a lot of people are seeking some kind of a physician's help when they're perfectly healthy, and that's the process of vaccination, or inoculation, where they take someone that's not sick, someone that's completely healthy, and they ask for some kind of a vaccine or inoculation to prevent a future catching of a disease or an illness. Now, what is a vaccine? What are vaccines? Okay, let's just get some definitions for a second. From Wikipedia, this is what they say a vaccination is. Vaccination is the administration of a vaccine to help the immune system develop protection from a disease. Vaccines contain a microorganism or virus in a weakened, live, or killed state, or proteins or toxins from the organism, and stimulating the body's adaptive immunity, they help prevent sickness from infectious disease. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, herd immunity results. Herd immunity protects those who may be immunocompromised and cannot get a vaccine because even a weakened version would harm them. Now, according to Wikipedia, and really if you just do any research on vaccination, which I highly recommend, essentially they're saying, why don't you get a lesser form of a particular illness, hopefully your body will produce some type of an immune response that then will either prevent you from catching that disease in the future, or if you do catch the disease, you'll have less adverse reaction to the disease because you already have some level of immunity. That's the theory behind vaccination. And when it comes to the types, there's a few different types. I've read a couple other articles they say there's four major. Live attenuated, inactivated, toxoid, or subunit. Now, live attenuated means that they're actually taking a part of the virus that's still alive but it's just a really small version or weakened version and they're inserting it into your body to try and get you a little sick, so as to try and help build immunity over time. Inactivated means that they killed it. They have a virus, but they killed it, it's not alive, it's no longer reproducing or anything like that. They insert that in your body, hoping that it will essentially produce the same type of immune response. Toxoid, this is where the virus in your body is producing toxins. And they take those toxins and instead of introducing the virus, they just bring the toxins into the body hoping the body will produce the immunity based on the toxins that are the byproduct of a virus attaching itself to your body. And then fourthly, they call a subunit. Now, a subunit is a lot different in the sense that it's basically putting some kind of chemicals or something in your body, whether that be mRNA or something else, that's going to basically trick the body into thinking it has that particular illness or something similar and producing the antibodies. Now, what's interesting is if you look at our world today, we have a major push right now and this is worldwide for what's called the COVID vaccine. Now, every vaccine before this COVID vaccine is pretty much been in the first three categories. In the essence of they're giving you either a small live version of a disease, they're giving you a dead version of that same disease, or the toxins that are produced from that disease and then other chemicals mixed together to try and produce some kind of immune response. COVID vaccine is a completely different ballpark. It's based on something called mRNA and that is something that your body has, it produces, but they're synthetically producing something called mRNA, which is messenger RNA and it interacts with your DNA and it's basically sending messages. Now, those messages could do a number of things, but essentially those messages sometimes will tell your body to produce proteins or produce antibodies or whatever. Well, the COVID vaccines, here's the theory. I'm just going to give you their side of things, what they claim it's doing. What they claim it's doing is they're sending a synthetic mRNA into your body that tells your body to produce a protein. This protein is called a spike protein. Who's heard about spike protein? If you ever look at a picture of the virus online, like COVID or these viruses, it looks like a ball with lots of little spikes coming off of it. That's where it gets its name, spike protein. Basically, a virus looks like a spike protein. Well, the COVID vaccine, what it's supposed to do is it's supposed to create these spike proteins in your body that are not coronavirus but look like coronavirus or have the properties of coronavirus. So then your body will think it's coronavirus and produce an antibody immune response, kill this fake protein or this supposedly harmless protein that was produced and then thereby you create the antibodies without ever having to have the disease at all. So you basically never have the disease theoretically. Your body produces the antibodies through a synthetic process of telling your DNA and everything interacting and so then if you come in contact with the coronavirus, either you already have enough immune response where you wouldn't even catch it or you have less severe symptoms. That's the theory. I'm just putting all that out there. You do your own research. You study it. The only thing you can trust is whatever the Bible says. I try to do my best to read all the articles and study and look up information but I could be wrong or an article could be wrong I could be looking at something. I'm not a doctor. I'm not going to give you medical advice but I am going to try and tell you what the Bible says. Now that's just basically a foundation. The Bible says if you're healthy, don't seek a doctor. What do vaccines do? They say, oh you're healthy? Seek a doctor. Get some kind of immunization and inoculation. Get a disease or in this case a synthetic version of the disease so it has to protect you from actually getting the real thing later on. I say that violates the principle that Jesus taught us. That's why I personally am against all vaccination programs. Now when it comes to the Bible, what does the Bible have to say about these types of things? Go to Haggai just for a second. It's in the Minor Prophets. Go to Haggai chapter number two for just a second. And I want to say this before the COVID vaccine, this mRNA technology has not been widespread released or used in vaccination. This is kind of an experimental thing or it's the first time that it's ever being introduced and it's being introduced on a global scale. They did do certain trials and tests and everything like that and I read a lot of the studies and they did it on humans. They would have about 3,000 people participate. They gave them a placebo and then they gave them the actual COVID and then they would report what kind of adverse reactions that they had. Now if you look at the adverse reactions, for sure the people who took the real thing had a higher probability of adverse reactions across the board in every single case. Now some people with placebo even had an adverse reaction and when it comes to a double blind study which is considered the gold standard in medical world, they don't actually follow that exactly because what they'll do is I believe when they're doing their placebo it's not just nothing, it's actually all the ingredients except for the mRNA. So you're still getting the toxic metals and everything else. So a lot of the people in the placebo test are saying, hey we got severe headache, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, all the other problems as well as the people that actually got the real thing. But even the real thing, all the numbers are always higher and pretty much across the board and sometimes 5-10 times more likely depending on all the tests that they ran. But a lot of people, in some cases it was like 50% of people had an adverse reaction according to the stats and the things that they produced on these studies. However, all of the studies are short term. All of them are just basically what happened in the next few days. It's not like what happened a year from now or 5 years from now or 10 years from now, nobody knows. And it would be really hard to even know because of how many environmental factors exist. When we talk about a science experiment, who took science class? You have to go through the scientific method where you have a control group and you have variables and everything like that. There's no way to have a control group on these types of things because there's too many environmental factors that come into our lives. You're never going to truly know all the causation for every bad thing that happens to you. And I'll say this, scientifically they never factor in spiritual issues either. A lot of times the Bible teaches that you're going to have bad things happen to you for spiritual reasons not just from a physical, carnal reaction. It's impossible to really know what's going on with all of this stuff. But I want to just look at a few biblical principles and just ask ourselves these questions because it's impossible. You're never going to have science that confirms anything to you on this subject. If you give people these inoculations 5 years from now bad things are going to happen to people, 10 years from now bad things are going to happen to people. But to know for sure it was linked to that vaccination or any other event it's just not going to be scientifically plausible to know 100%. You can only theorize, you can only speculate, you can only assume. There's going to be a lot of assumptions and everything in that. But you know what you can know is real? Whatever the Bible says. Those are the principles that we should really base the decision making we have. Like, hey if I'm not sick I'm not going to seek a doctor. That's just good advice. My parents were like this. My parents, basically unless your arm was chopped off and bleeding you weren't going to go to the doctor. And so maybe that's a little bit of my personal bias is how my parents raised me. But I think it makes sense that I'm not going to seek doctors when I don't need to. Look at Haggai chapter 2 verse 13 for a moment. The Bible says this, Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priest answered and said, It shall be unclean. Now this is just real basic logic, but a lot of people don't necessarily even agree with this. It's weird. And especially throughout history they didn't understand this. But look, if I throw something in the trash, it's now trash. I'm not going to dig it back out and be like, oh it's fine. You know, it's now dirty because it touched other dirty things. Okay, if you have a dead body and you touch a dead body or touch something with a dead body, it's considered dirty. You know, if it touches the floor, a lot of times people won't eat it because the floor often times is very dirty. So if you touch something, you know, if something falls in the toilet, you're not excited to dig that thing out. You know, even if it hadn't been used recently, you're just kind of looking at it like, I don't know. If it's been used, it's really dicey. Okay, have kids and then you realize sometimes you have to dig things out of the toilet, right? But then you want to wash it off a lot. Why? Because it got dirty, it got filthy, and this is just basically how the Bible is explaining to you in layman's terms that look, when something's dirty, it can contaminate other things. Now, you know, in modern scientific study and understanding, they would call this germs, right? And I mean, this seems pretty clear to everybody. You know, when there's someone that's really sick and you get around them, a lot of times you'll pick up their sickness, won't you? You know, when I went to Red Hot, the preaching conference last year, pretty much every single person that went there all got sick. You know why? Because when you get around sick people, you can get their sickness. When you touch dirty things, you can get sickness. You know, there's a reason why faggots get AIDS. Because they do a bunch of dirty, disgusting things that are not meant for anybody to do. You know, when you're eating dung and you're basically playing around in it, welcome to disease. You know, you look at the countries that don't have good sanitation and they basically are inviting disease into their body, into their world. When we talk about black plague, we talk about bubonic plague. You know, they were just literally pouring their feces out in the middle of the street. They have just no real clean sanitation. They're not washing their hands. You know, people, medicine back then, they would wash their hands in the same bowl of water that already has other people's blood and contaminants in it. And look, you know, I would never take a blood transfusion from someone that had HIV. Why? Because you're going to get HIV. You know, there's a thing called sexually transmitted diseases. And you know how you don't get one? Be a virgin when you get married and stay faithful to that person alone. You know what? You whore around with someone that's a whore, you pick up their diseases. You pick up their defilement. This is observed in all of reality and all day society. We constantly see people getting sick from other sick people, defiling things, defiling other things. It's just common. It's just normal. So, why would I then ask a doctor to find some kind of disease, something that's been defiled, and inject it into my body? That seems to be really counterintuitive to the principle that we've just seen here in Aga chapter 2. Go to Leviticus chapter 15 now. Go to Leviticus chapter 15. Now, when it comes to unclean and clean in the Old Testament, you can't really run with all these things because all these things are pretty much fulfilled in Christ. You know, a lot of the divers washings and cardinal ordinances, they were only imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Christ being come, now we don't have to necessarily observe all of these different washings and all these different ordinances. But that doesn't mean that the principles that Jesus gave us aren't still good principles to follow. In general, we should try to be as clean as possible physically. We should wash our body. We should use running water. We should use the principles that God teaches us, even though we don't have to follow the same rigid schedule that the Israelites or the Jews had to follow. Now, Job even makes a comment. He says, who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one. Here's a question. How am I going to bring a clean thing out of a vaccination if it's a disease? If it's some kind of an illness? You know, and look, when you look at vaccinations, they're all different. So you can't just say all of them, you know, some people say they all have aborted baby fetus cells in them or something. Number one, none of them have aborted baby fetus cells in them. A lot of vaccines have been produced with technology related to aborted cells, okay? They have basically two specimens where they collected cells from aborted fetuses, and then they're able to replicate those cells in a laboratory and then based on that technology information, they use that for testing and other things involved in the process of creating a vaccine, but a vaccine is not going to literally have baby cells in the actual vaccine, okay? And so when people say that kind of stuff, it often makes anti-vaxxers look stupid, foolish, or unlearned when it comes to that particular topic. But some of them have, you know, dead animals. You know, parts that are, you know, used in the production of vaccination. Sometimes they're using, you know, human body elements, okay? They're using the toxoids. They're using the chemicals that basically cause lethal injection, you know? I mean, you look it up, I mean, the same chemicals used in lethal injection are the same chemicals used in vaccination. And you say, well, it's a smaller dose. Okay, sure. But what if they got that wrong? You know, I mean, there's a lot of things that you're kind of playing with here. There's a lot of elements that are involved here, and it's something that's already decided to be unclean by the Bible. Why would I then want to inject that into my body? It goes against common sense, number one, and it goes against biblical principles here that it wouldn't make sense to inject my bloodstream with any kind of a toxic substance or a harmful substance. Leviticus 15, look at verse 13. And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. And there's the Bible saying when someone has an issue, and an issue could be anything, you know, a cut, a scrape, mucus, anything that's flowing out of the body, any kind of fluids that are flowing out of the body, it's just saying when this person has this kind of a problem, once it's stopped, and they've completely washed themselves, now they're clean. Okay, and so that's a good principle, and realizing, like, we don't want to touch other people's bodily fluids, and the Bible talks about when you touch other people's bodily fluids, you're now unclean. It wouldn't make sense, again, to inject that necessarily. Now, I'll go on the record and say this. I don't think that having someone's bodily fluids in yours is necessarily wrong, bad, or sin, or anything like that, because some people do a blood transfusion. Some people literally have an organ transplant, okay? So, obviously, trading of bodily organs and fluids and all that through modern technology, hey, maybe it makes sense in certain circumstances. Sometimes it doesn't. If you're trying to become a woman because you're a man, it doesn't make sense, okay? If your heart's about to explode and you're going to die, and someone's heart has been harvested, and I'm not going to go through the why, let's just say legitimately it was harvested and they can give it to you, I don't see, like, that's necessarily wrong, per se, because, you know, this is just a garment. Our bodies just really like a garment, okay? And at the end of the day, you know, some people have prosthetic limbs. Some people have plates put in their head. Some people have bolts in their knee. Some people have all kinds of metal and all kinds of things infused in their body, and some people have thought, oh, this is an improvement. This is better. You know, the way that we're created is bad, it's flawed, but if you put in this plastic and metal and a computer or whatever, then we can be like, you know, Superman, or, you know, we can be Iron Man or whatever. And look, that's transhumanism. I believe that it's impossible to improve on God's design, okay? The way that God created us is the best way that we can be. Now, obviously when someone's flawed, you know, when some kind of a defect happens, or you get harmed or injured, yeah, of course human amputation, or people inserting other means by modern technology to help that person survive or live longer, go for it. You know, I'm not going to say that it's wrong, I'm not going to say that it's bad, but obviously when people have this ideology that they're going to actually improve on God's design, that's foolishness in my opinion, okay? And I'm not looking to see what parts of my body I can replace for fun. To me, it's out of a last resort. You know, some people have a crazy idea, hey, I want all my teeth knocked out and to put in fake ones. A gold chain, you know, I want to get a gold grill. If you think I'm joking, look at all the rappers. They got like gold teeth in there. It's like, I want my teeth. You know? Just don't brush them a few more times and they'll look pretty gold anyways, you know? At the end of the day, I'm not looking to see what parts of my body I can replace. I want to keep the ones that God gave me. And look, I'm all for keeping your body healthy. Wash it. You know the Bible talks positively about exercise. The Bible talks positively about eating healthy food or eating good food. You know, not eating too much, not being a glutton. There's exercise, there's sanitation, you're supposed to have a paddle at the end of thy weapon so that you can basically bury that which you dispose of because God says he doesn't want to walk in it when he's walking around the camp. You know, and talk about ruining your day, walking in that stuff will ruin your day. Okay? Now go if you went to 1 Corinthians chapter number 6. Go to 1 Corinthians chapter number 6. So I'm just laying out some biblical principles. Vaccinations to me doesn't pass the sniff test on biblical principles because the Bible is laying out a different picture. If someone's sick, they're supposed to be quarantined. If someone's sick, the Bible says that they're even supposed to put a cloth over their mouth and cry, unclean, unclean. Now it didn't say I had to lift it over the nose. Okay? That's what the airline tells you, but the Bible says just the mouth. Okay? And why? Well, obviously someone coughing, spitting, sneezing, any of that kind of stuff is going to spread their contaminants potentially and make it where people can get sick. So someone covering their mouth is to try and prevent them from coughing on someone, sneezing on someone, they're getting their spit on someone, and getting someone sick through their illness. You know, if someone's sick, I don't want them coughing on me. You know, that's rude. And in fact, spitting on someone's assault, you know, in America. So I don't recommend that. But I would say this, if someone's sick, I want to stay away from you. That's why the policy at our church has always been if you're sick, stay home. You know, if you're sick, don't come to church. And if you're sick spiritually, definitely. Obviously, we want sinners to get saved. Okay? I'm not saying that. But what I am saying is this, you know, our body is supposed to be taken care of. What does the Bible say in 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19? What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. According to the Bible, generally speaking, we're supposed to take care of ourselves. Now, I don't want, some people take this verse and apply it to anything and everything that's even some level of unhealthy and then claim it to sin. But if that's true, then just living is, living is unhealthy. Walking on the sun could damage your sin, your skin. You know, sitting down. Oh, you guys aren't getting enough exercise. Y'all need to be doing jumping jacks while I'm preaching so you're not sinning. You're not taking care of your body. Hey, some of y'all had a donut over here. Uh-oh. Talk about unhealthy. I mean, look, if you want to get really microscopic on this doctrine, I could point to you a million things you're doing that are unhealthy. When it comes to your lifestyle, the choices that you make, does that mean you're just sinning a million times every single second because all the decisions you make is unhealthy? I mean, I'm sure coffee's unhealthy. Caffeine. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff. You know, gum has aspartame in it. It's been found to be linked to cancer. Good luck on that one. You know, I mean, everything is unhealthy to some degree because we're decaying and we're going to die. We're waxing old. We're going to vanish away. You know, don't get so weird on this issue. I can't be around a microwave. You know, Adam Fannin. Because I remember whenever I took over the church, the people in jacks were like, can we get a microwave? And I'm like, yeah. Or they're like, you know, according to people's testimony, they said, Adam Fannin says you can't have lemon in your water because it has, like, it's related to fecal tissue or fecal matter somehow or something. You're going to die. It's like, that's absurd. Okay. You sound like a Pharisee. Okay. Making up all these rules and pointing to vague verses like this to try and prove all your doctrine or whatever. Now look, I'm not trying to mock this verse. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't take care of your body. I'm just trying to say don't take it to a weird extreme. You know, let's put it into reality. What is this mostly talking about? Hey, don't cut yourself. You know, like people that are cutting themselves satanically and it's talking about doing physical and permanent damage to your body and don't gorge yourself on foods that are going to cause all kinds of problems to you and all kinds of issues to you. You know, like the guy from Super Size Me. Who knows what I'm talking about? There's this documentary called Super Size Me. I put it in my notes, okay. This guy was going to only eat McDonald's for a 30 day straight. Now here's his parameters. He made up the parameters. He said he must eat three McDonald's meals per day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. He must consume every item on the McDonald's menu at least once over the course of 30 days. He must only ingest items that are offered on McDonald's menu, including bottled water. All outside consumption of food is prohibited and he must super size every meal if offered, but he can never ask to super size it on his own. Additionally, he was going to walk at least 5000 steps per day, although he oftentimes did more than this. That was his parameters, okay. After five days of eating of this food, you know, only McDonald's food and doing all the walking he was doing, he gained 9.5 pounds. At the end, he gained 24.5 pounds. The doctors, multiple doctors had recommended he stop before he even finished the documentary because they said he was probably going to die. He had heart palpitations. He had increased blood pressure. Now look, am I saying that eating McDonald's is a sin? No. Am I saying that it's, you know, wrong? No. But is it to a degree unhealthy? Sure. What if you're eating every meal for the rest of your life? You'll probably die soon, okay, as evidenced by this guy. McDonald's had to put all this extra ad information out there after this documentary to try and, you know, reduce all the damage it did. They took super size off the menu and everything like that because they were like, oops, you know. But isn't that, I mean, eating McDonald's is quote unquote a little unhealthier than eating other food, arguably. I mean, fast food is going to be more unhealthy than food prepared at a normal restaurant. And food prepared at a normal restaurant is going to be less healthy than prepared at home. And then, you know, the box dinners prepared at home is less healthy than the ones you make from raw or scratch or whatever. So does that mean that if you eat anything that's not just from raw, organic, right off of the farm, only you produced it, you're sinning? I mean, look, you can't take this stuff to a weird extreme and make up rules for the, or rules for me, but not for these, okay? So again, when we're trying to create biblical principles, what's a general principle? Take care of yourself. But you don't want to just start saying anything that's not taking yourself, quote unquote, is now just like the most wicked sin and these people are evil. They don't believe the Bible or whatever. Everyone has to make up their own decisions on what they're going to do. You know, everybody's going to bathe themselves on a different basis. Some people shower twice a day. Some people shower once a day. Some people shower once in a while, you know, and we can tell. But at the end of the day, you know, are you going to, can you really look at that person and be like, this guy's such a wicked sinner. He showers once every other day. I mean, there's some countries where you don't even have the opportunity to shower twice a day, you know, or, you know, bathing is not as regular in certain areas. And obviously that's why they have increased sickness and illness in these types of things. But generally speaking, take care of your body. Obviously you're supposed to wash yourself, keep ourselves clean. You know, the Bible says, for no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church. We should want to be healthy, okay? And I believe that it's important to be healthy. I believe you should put effort and energy into being healthy. Eating the best type of food that you possibly can. You know, bathing and keeping good hygiene regularly. Exercising. You know, I think all those things are profitable. The Bible even says bodily exercise is profitable. You know what? It's not the most profitable thing. You know, it's more profitable than all that? Everything that's spiritual. Okay? Go to Ecclesiastes chapter number seven for a moment. Go to Ecclesiastes chapter number seven. Now, when it comes to this mRNA vaccination, let me just say this. If hypothetically, everything that they're saying about it was 100% true, okay? I don't even know if I could say there's anything wrong with it. I mean, if I could inject somebody with mRNA and it's legit and it comes in and it produces a fake version of the coronavirus where I'm not sick and then your body creates the immunity to it, the antibodies to it, and you end up being not susceptible to that disease or that illness, I don't even know that you can really argue against that. My biggest problem with it is me personally, I don't believe it's legit, okay? But I don't want to conflate the fact that because I personally believe it's not legit, now everybody else has to agree with me on that particular viewpoint. Because look, I've partaken in all kinds of medical advancements and technology today like LASIK. I have done LASIK surgery. Do I think it was a sin? No. I actually like it. Now, there's a risk benefit associated with that. What is LASIK? Depending on which surgery you get, the one I got specifically, they literally slice your eye open, okay? They make an incision in the eye with a laser and they flap it open. So your eye is literally flapped open and then they go in with a laser and they burn off a lot of excess that's in there that's causing your vision to be blurry or whatever and then they flap it back and then your eye is supposed to heal. Now, someone that's had this type of surgery, their eye is slightly weakened compared to someone that's never had this incision. And in fact, there's a slight possibility that depending on what kind of physical activity, if someone knocked me really hard in the head or going into water or something like that, because I have a weaker spot there because it's had an incision, it could cause a problem to my vision, okay? But if you look at all the studies, you look at how many people have done this surgery and how many people had success through it, it works pretty good. You can have other complications through having LASIK. You know what? I couldn't see anything without it. Without it, the only thing I could see was a Bible like this close. I was basically legally blind. I mean, y'all would just all look like a blur of color if I had not had the LASIK. And so, you know, it was really frustrating. I had to wear really big thick glasses or I'd wear contacts all the time. And look, wearing contacts has a negative impact because even wearing contacts, you can get infection, you can have all kinds of issues happen with your eyes that can dry them out. And I had problems with contacts at different times in life. Look, there's always a risk benefit cost analysis to every single decision you make. Am I going to really say that LASIK surgery is bad? No. Now, it could be bad for somebody. Somebody could have a negative reaction. According to the doctor I went to, and it was actually here in Dallas, Fort Worth, where I got the surgery. I didn't live here at the time, but I came here. He said he'd only had one case where something bad had happened. And he said the guy went to the bar the same night after having the surgery, got in a fight, someone punched him in the eye, and the flap came open. Okay? But then he came into emergency surgery and the doctors were able to repair it and he was still fine. So he's saying, like, that was the only, at the time, that specific doctor and he was really highly reputable. You know, if you're going to have eye surgery, I don't want to look for the cut rate version. Okay? The $200 coupon one or whatever. You know? They have, like, the divorce signs, like, $200 divorce. It's like, eh. You know, it's $200 eye surgery. You're kind of like, eh, no. Like, I'll go for the real expensive one. You know? And this guy, you walked in, it's all Dallas cowboy paraphernalia because he does the surgery for every cowboy. And they heard you in, like, cattle and they have, like, 20 or 30 people getting the surgery in the same day or whatever. Look, I'm not saying go get ice lacing. Okay? If you want to, sure. What I am saying is this. Look, there's going to be some technologies that man comes up with that could potentially be good, could potentially work. But I'll say this. Trying to create a synthetic mRNA that's going to do all this, to me, sounds like you're trying to play God. And that's a little scary. Okay? Look at Ephesians chapter 7, verse 29. Okay? Why am I using this verse? Because the Bible teaches and it instructs that God makes man right. Now, obviously, still babies can have deformities and God still says he makes the dumb and everything like that. But just generally speaking, mankind is made upright. We're made good. Now, over time and through experiences, you can have ailments, defects, and problems that through medicine, healing, and treatment, you can improve your quality of life. For me, getting Lasik surgery, I didn't wake up one day and say, you know what, I have perfect vision but I think Lasik sounds like a good idea. No, I had really bad vision and I was seeking some kind of an alternative to help me there. Vaccination is saying, I'm perfectly healthy and fine, but I really, really want some disease in me or some kind of doctor to come and do something to my body to make it better than it already was. I would suggest that you're already in the best state you could possibly be in and that inducing some kind of a vaccine is probably going to make your immune system worse in general. But some people would disagree with me. Some people say, you know what, elderly people at high risk for respiratory issues. If they get COVID, they could die. And that's true. People that are elderly, people that have asthma, or people that have respiratory issues, if they got COVID, they could die from it. So if they think it's actually safer for them to get a vaccine that's going to create this other response, that's their prerogative to choose whatever they want or to think whatever they want. I'm not saying that they're right or wrong necessarily for deciding that. What I'm saying is I personally don't want it. I'm personally against it. I see how it's so many biblical principles that are strongly against it. Now here's the question. Is it a sin? Okay, well, let's go to Matthew chapter 15 for a moment. Go to Matthew chapter 15. Let's ask the question, is it a sin? Now, what is a sin according to the Bible? Because again, I don't choose what sin. You don't choose what sin. The Bible says, for whosoever committed sin transgresses also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law. So someone's going to tell me I'm sinning, I need chapter and verse. It's that simple. And I'll say this, when you're struggling whether or not something is a sin and you can't think of any verses, it's either because you don't know any Bible or maybe there's just not any verses against it. And what you have to understand is that just because something is maybe not the best decision or isn't good for you doesn't make it a sin necessarily. Let's read some Bible. Matthew 15 verse 1. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees which were Jerusalem, saying, Why do they disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? So the Pharisees are talking to Jesus and they're saying, Your disciples aren't washing their hands before they eat. Now wouldn't everyone say that it's better to wash your hands before you eat? Who in here thinks it's worse to wash your hands before you eat? Anybody? Okay, so pretty much I would say 99% of people would say it's healthier, safer or cleaner to wash your hands before you eat. And they're bringing this accusation against these people. Verse 7 skip down. Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, This people draw nigh unto me with their mouth and on with me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. So he's rebuking them for teaching something that's not from the Bible. It's just their own personal rules, their own personal beliefs. Okay, skip down to verse 19. For out of the heart proceedeth evil thoughts, murderers, adulterers, fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man. But to eat with unwashing hands defileth not a man. Notice what Jesus says. Jesus is saying, Hey, you preaching this doctrine is not Bible. It's your personal ideology. It's your own personal conviction and imposing that on other people while rejecting what the Bible actually says makes you a huge hypocrite. Okay. And he's saying, Look, to eat with unwashed hands, it doesn't even defile a man. Now there's two ways to look at this. Number one would be spiritually, which is the most important way to look at it. Obviously Christ is saying if it doesn't defile you spiritually, what does that mean? He didn't sin. Can you really say that you sin? I mean, if I go and work in the field and my wife comes out and hands me an apple and I start eating it, did I sin? Did I have to go inside and wash my hands first before I could eat that apple? I mean, look, I do wash my hands regularly, but there's been plenty of times where just out of convenience, I just grab something and I eat it. Okay. Was that really a sin? Now look, obviously you're susceptible to some kind of problem. If I was cleaning up dead animals, probably should wash your hands. Okay. But if you're just working out in the yard, you get a little bit of dirt. Look, do you realize that the majority of your food comes out of the dirt? Carrots and potatoes, you know. This food is going to have a little bit of dirt on it. You are dirt. You're made of dust. Okay. So don't come up with all these weird rules. Hypothetically, I would say wash your hands is better. But does that mean it was a sin not to do it? No. So you can't just make arbitrary rules. Go to Romans chapter number 14. So let's put this in context of our vaccination. If I take one of these vaccines, is it less clean? I believe absolutely. I've already shown lots of biblical principles to show how it's less clean. Here's the question. Is it a sin? I think that circumstantially it could be a sin. But I don't believe you could say dogmatically it's inherently a sin. Okay. Now, in some cases, maybe it is. I mean, if they were literally putting an aborted baby's body parts into it, then I'd be like, well, that just seems too egregious for me, you know, or whatever. I mean, if they're literally injecting you with something, the Bible says no. Like they're saying, hey, we sacrificed this animal to a false god and then put his blood in the vaccine and we're injecting. It's like, uh, yeah, I'm not going to partake. Okay. Obviously it could get to a point where it is to me even inherently sinful. But, you know, when it comes to your decision making, this is why I would say to me, I believe it's sinful. Okay. And for me, I would, I don't want to partake in it and I would think it would be sinful, but here's why I would base it on it. Okay. Romans chapter 14, look at verse 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? Hath it to thyself before God? Happy is he that condemneth not himself in the thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith, whatsoever is not of faith, is sin. And here's the thing. I personally believe these vaccines are really bad. I personally believe they don't work as, as told to us. I personally believe there's a lot of issues and problems associated with them. So for me, if I were to take it, it would certainly not be of faith. And because it would not be of faith, I believe it would be a sin for me to partake in such an activity. But let's say hypothetically, fast forward 10 years, they have double blind studies on this technology. It's 100% effective, and there's no issues with it. It's not being propagandized by everybody. Would I say that now all of a sudden it's a sin? Maybe I would say, you know what? I don't have the same problems with it. I don't think it has the same issues associated with it. So maybe now it's not even a sin to me. Okay. Let me give you a couple of other reasons why it could potentially not be a sin to somebody. If your parents are telling you to get the vaccine, I believe you should obey your parents. So in that case, I don't think it'd be a sin for a child to take the vaccine of their parents. You know, a lot of vaccines are administered when a kid is one, two, five or whatever. You know, there's a five year old can really be like, mommy and daddy now, you know, that's wrong. That's wrong. Okay. And obviously the wrong is upon the parents, you know, in that particular situation scenario. Here's another one. If I make an oath to somebody, okay, and I don't know, but let's say I were to sign up for the military. And look, it's not just the United States military. There's other militaries involved in this situation. But if I sign up for the military and I said, whatever medical decisions you're going to have me make, I promise to take them. If I said something like that or I made some kind of oath or some kind of contract with my employer to that effect, then yeah, I think you have to follow their rules. Just like this. The inhabitants of Gibeah come unto Joshua and they trick him and tell him they've come from a far land and he says, make an oath that you'll never kill us. And he says, all right, we'll make an oath of you. God had already told them to kill them. Here's the thing. Later in the Bible, God explains to the children of Israel that they should honor the oath over the commandment to have killed them. So meaning what? If I make a promise, if I make some kind of an oath, if I swear I'm going to do something, then I think you have to abide by that. I mean, Jetha swore that he was going to sacrifice whatever came and met him out of the door. Now, are you going to really argue with me in saying that taking the vaccine is worse than slaying your only child? So God takes your oath seriously. Again, here are just scenarios where I believe you should follow whatever scenario you're in. Now, most employers don't necessarily mandate that in the sense that, like, you have to sign a contract up front saying you're going to follow all their medical protocols and everything like that. You maybe have an option or you could be fired or quit or whatever. In that case, you have to make the decision that you believe is right. If it's me and I believe it's a sin personally, then I would say I'm not going to do it. OK, if I didn't think it was a sin, well, then, of course, there's no problem in doing that theoretically. OK, go to 1 Corinthians chapter number 10. But you have to understand that just because it's not a sin, OK, even if it's not, doesn't mean it's good to do. Some people get confused about this. Just because it's not a sin doesn't mean that you should do it. Right? There's lots of things that technically are not a sin that you should just not do. You should not participate in or involve yourself in. Look at 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 23. Look, just because you can do whatever you want doesn't mean you should do whatever you want. OK? Just like the McDonald's thing. I could eat McDonald's for every single meal in my life. Could I? Not expedient. If you want to go to Heaven soon, go for it. You know, you might have a heart attack, though. Now, go to Matthew chapter 17. Go to Matthew chapter 17. All right. And this is the last point I'm going to make. And it's going to be it's going to be a little while because I want to I want to explain a lot of things. Here's here's where we're going to get in the essence of the sermon. Should it be forced? Should it be force? Or what do I do when it's being enforced? OK, how does the sermon force vaccination? What have we learned so far? You kind of learned what a vaccine is, right? You get a little bit sick, so you get less sick in the future theoretically. To me, that violates a lot of biblical principles. OK, so that's why I don't even agree with that philosophy. And a lot of times the philosophy is coming from an atheist or an evolutionary perspective where they think that we're constantly tinkering with man and improving on man. Like man's evolving, getting better and better and better through processes of natural selection. So they think that they can literally start messing with your RNA, DNA and all these things and improving upon what is already existent. I believe that we're already at the top and that you can only make it worse by tinkering, tampering and going. So to me, it's a philosophically bad way of looking at it. They want to become bionic man where we have all these vaccines and we replace all our body parts with robotic body parts. We can just live forever and we can, you know, not have any of these problems. Look, the only way to heal all your diseases and sicknesses and illnesses is to die and get a new body. That's it. You know, you're not going to be able to replace God's design with something better, number one. And number two, it's flawed, it's decaying, it has problems, OK? But ultimately, if it's not a sin, inherently perhaps, it could be a sin circumstantially, of course. What about when it's being enforced, how do I respond to that? Well, look at Matthew chapter 17 and verse 24. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter and said, Does not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was coming to the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take customer tribute? Of their own children or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Now withstanding lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea and cast and hook and take up the fish that first cometh up. And when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money, take that, and give unto them for me indeed. So notice, here's a question about taxes. Now again, when it comes to taxes, you know, think about who your tax money is going to at this time. Going to the Romans. You really think the Romans are a pinnacle of moral righteousness at this time? I mean, obviously, the Romans are involved in all kinds of wicked things. They believe in a false religion. They have false gods. They're oppressing the children of Israel. And the question's basically asked to Jesus, like, is it right for them to be ruling over us, oppressing us? You know, giving money to these wicked, heathen, ungodly people? And what's Jesus' response? Pay the man! Pay that man his money. Why? Because he doesn't care. He's not overly concerned with carnal matter. He's not overly concerned with what's right and wrong, because he already says it's wrong. He says, hey, we're free. Hey, we're children of the God. We don't have to pay taxes to Caesar. I mean, this is nonsense. I'm a citizen of heaven, right? But he's like, but I don't want to offend them. I don't want to cause problems when I shouldn't. Let's just pay it. And in fact, that money with his symbol on it is his. You really think in the millennial reign we're going to have coins with Caesar's face on it? Like, that's designated as Caesar. And that's why whenever you enter into any economic system, whose face is on the money? Their leaders, right? We don't have Stalin on our money. We don't have Mao Zedong on our money yet, you know? So we don't have, you know, you have your own leaders on your money, right? Because it's their money, it's their goods, their possessions, they're the ones in charge or whatever. So if you look at the American dollar, whose money is it? It's the devil's because you've got the I right there on the top of the pyramid. You've got the god of this world, of the new world order, basically right there on the front of your money. And they're saying, who do we trust? They trust in the devil. That's who they trust in. There's a lot of weird things on that dollar bill, but then you fold it, okay? That's a different sermon. Go to Exodus chapter one, Exodus chapter one. But here's the question. Whenever they're forcing something on you, how do you respond? Hey, is it right for the Romans to force a tax on the children of Israel? Jesus said no. But guess what? He paid it. So there's going to be times when the government is forcing you to do things that you disagree with, that are wrong, that you just do anyways, okay? And you say, so I do everything the government tells me no matter what. No, I didn't say that. There's going to be lines that you have to draw, okay? Paying taxes. Is paying taxes the Roman sinful? Obviously not. Because if it was sinful, Christ wouldn't have done it. But what if the government walks up to you and says, murder your children? Well, let's see what happens. Exodus chapter one, verse 16. And he said, this is talking about Pharaoh. When you do the offense of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see them upon the stools, it would be a son, then he shall kill him. But if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God and did not, as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men, child, and children alike. In fact, the Bible says that God blessed the Hebrew midwives for this. Okay, so he confirms the fact that it was right for them to say no, crossing this particular line. So, here's my stance. If something is clearly a sin, if it's inherently a sin, even with a gun to my head, here's my response to the government. Pull the trigger. Pull the trigger. Why? Pull the trigger. Steal? Pull the trigger. Murder a baby? Pull the trigger. Commit adultery? Pull the trigger. Worship a false god? Throw me in the fire. Hey, don't pray to God. Watch me pray. You know, I mean, we see this as a constant theme throughout the Bible where even the most trivial things. I mean, think about Daniel. Daniel purposes his heart not to defile himself with the king's meat. But in the New Testament, the Bible tells us that there's not anything inherently sinful about the meat. There's nothing about the meat from a carnal perspective that's a problem. It's a spiritual issue. But according to Daniel, he's not even willing to go to that route. So even something that's not even physically harmful because it's sinful to Daniel, he's not willing to do it. So look, if something's a sin and it's just clear in the Bible, you have clear commandments from God, I believe that you should take a stand and just say no. And you should resist and look, theoretically, even unto death. Okay? Peter, when put in that pressured situation, he wouldn't even say he knew Jesus. There's a lot of people that'll say, I'll do X, Y, and Z, and then when they're put in that situation, they're going to deny Christ. Okay? So it's easy to talk the talk. And let me say this, when it comes to vaccination, I could get up here and I could beat my chest and I could be like, I'm never getting the vaccine, no matter what my employer says. Because I am my employer. Okay? Like, that's real easy for me to say. You know, of all the people in this room, I guarantee I have the least amount of pressure to get the vaccine. Okay? Like, it's not even a question mark. So it'd be real easy for me to get up here and be like, of course I'm not going to back down. Of course I'm not going to, or whatever. You know what? That's not fair for me to put the same pressure on you when you're not in my situation, I'm not in yours. Okay? You make your own decision. Because of the vaccine, in my opinion, not even being inherently sinful, I don't even know if it makes sense to die on that hill, necessarily. I've had vaccines. You know, when I was a kid, my mom shot me up with all kinds of stuff. Who in here has had a vaccine? You wicked sinners to you. I'm just saying, like, you're still here, aren't you? You're still alive and kicking. Okay? So I'm not going to say, just because you had that, you're, you know, damned to hell, you worshiped the antichrist or something. You know? And people want to make this stuff way different than it really is. But let me make myself clear. If it's truly a sin, you should die on that hill. That is my personal belief. And whether or not someone will actually do that, that's hard to say. You know? Even myself included. I would love to believe that a gun to my head, I would not violate God's law. And that's my plan. That's what I want to believe. But you know what? People respond weird. And if you saw someone that you thought was going to really take a stand for Christ, they didn't. Don't let that discourage you. You still take the stand. You still do that which is right. You know, even if they chicken out, just realize that some people chicken out so that when that happens, it doesn't discourage you. You just realize it's tough to do. Okay? Even Christ is in the Garden of Gethsemane sweating great drops as were blood because of the knowing about the pressure of dying. Okay? Because it's real. It's a difficult thing to do. So then why am I so against it? Well, here's one. Because for all of our modern history, we've realized that natural immunity is better than a vaccination. I mean, you go to the doctor and they say, well, if you have the disease, that's better than getting the vaccination. And in fact, when I went to school, you could present two different files. You could present your history, medical history of contracting the disease or an inoculation. And contracting the disease is always considered better. Yet, in America and across the world today, they're telling people that have literally had COVID to get the vaccine anyway. That's weird. That doesn't even make sense. You know, you have way better antibodies produced from the real thing than the synthetic mRNA. Okay? And a lot of people have gone to test themselves saying, do I have the antibodies from the vaccine? Or they test themselves from, hey, do I have it from having the disease? And pretty much everybody from anecdotal evidence has said they have better antibodies from actually contracting the disease than from the vaccination. And some people even claimed that they didn't have any of the antibodies. And they're saying, they don't want you to test yourself to see if you're getting the antibodies because then it would say that the vaccine is not actually working. Because theoretically, if it was working, you could test yourself and you'd have all the same antibodies that someone had contracted the disease. Here's another reason why I'm so against it. All the propaganda associated with it. Like, hey, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said, if you get the vaccine, you get a free Shake Shack burger and fries. In Ohio and other states, I think even California, they have literal lotteries. If you get the vaccine, you're entered into a lottery and you can win a million dollar prize for having taken the vaccine. Look, if something's so great, why are you having to give like all these incentives to it? All these, you know, weird propagandist thing, you know, or restriction to a sporting event. You know, a lot of athletes, pro athletes are putting all kinds of pressure to get vaccinated. In fact, to me, I like golf, OK? A guy named John Rong, he's a Spaniard, he was playing in a golf tournament. He was winning the golf tournament by like, don't quote me. It was either like six or eight shots. And a golf tournament is played over four rounds. He had played the first three rounds and completed them and was winning by eight shots or something like that. Something extraordinary. He was playing super well. It wasn't like getting lucky. He was just playing at the top of his game. And they walk up and said, oh, you tested positive for COVID. You're automatically disqualified. And they said, because he wouldn't get the vaccine. So, and look, if you win a golf tournament, it's a huge deal. Because all the exemptions to play in future tournaments are predicated on winning a tournament. If you want to play in the Masters tournament, only winners get to go, basically. So, you have to win a golf tournament to get to play in the Masters, which is like the coolest tournament. It's like the Red Hot Preaching Conference, OK? Trying to speak in y'all's language, OK? Like the fire-breathing Baptist Fellowship. I mean, man, you want to go to that type of an event, OK? And so, to get that kind of a pressure to say, hey, you could be winning a golf tournament all the way up to the last moment. And then they just walk up and DQ you. That was probably not a coincidence. They may have done that to make an example of them. Who knows? But that was dirty. That was, that made me really angry. A lot of sports teams I saw, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 100% of their players are vaccinated. Now, some other NFL teams are not. But if you're not vaccinated, they could literally pull you out of a game whenever they want and put you on a two-week suspension. I'm sure no one would ever do that to a star quarterback or wide receiver or somebody to try and win a game. Because I don't know if you know this, but billions of dollars are bet on sports games all the time. Hmm. I don't know if there would be anything nefarious there. You know, you can't even go to bars, which I don't know why you'd want to anyways, if you don't get the vaccine. You should just count that one a blessing. Okay. How about this? VAERS. Here's another reason why I don't like vaccinations. VAERS. VAERS is, if you look up the acronym, it's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. It's by our federal government. Now, the reason why this exists is because the federal government has taken all liability away from vaccine manufacturers. In the 70s and 80s, vaccine manufacturers are constantly being sued for adverse reaction. What the government did is they took away all liability, basically putting all the liability on themselves. Now, if you sue, you could only sue the government for having taken away this liability. And then the government has to pay for any kind of damages. And they pay. In fact, from 2006, let me get the right statistics here. I don't know as far back as it goes. That was a different stat. But according to online articles about this, one person in 2010 had sued for causing autism from their vaccine, which if you look on lots of websites, they'll say vaccines don't cause autism. There's never been a case. But the U.S. government has paid $1.5 million to a Hannah polling for autism adverse reaction to vaccination. And in fact, it's like $1.5 million every so often. I think it accumulates to $20 million over the child's lifetime. Now, if it's never happened, it's fake, why is the U.S. government paying $20 million to this individual for having caused autism to their child? That was in 2010. Now, since then, there's been way more. I was reading the right stat. I got confused. From 2006 to 2017, there's been 3.4 billion doses of vaccines distributed in the U.S. There's been 6,529 petitions that were adjudicated by the court. And of those, 4,493 were compensated. So there's been 4,493 cases against the U.S. government for an adverse reaction related to vaccination where the government literally paid on it. But there's never been an example where there's ever been an adverse. It's like, what? Of course there has been. The total has been $4.2 billion. So the U.S. government has paid $4.2 billion to compensate families that have been injured from vaccines since 2006 when this has happened. Now, if you go to VAERS, they have data on this reporting. Now, how it works is if I get a vaccine and then I have an adverse reaction, I can tell my doctor and then my doctor has the opportunity to report that to this VAERS system. It's possible, I think, even individuals can through a process. We have to go through like an application process and submit a lot of data and information. And they take a lot of data on this. But there is a time window, too. It's not forever. There's like a short window in which this can even be reported. Some people have theorized only 1% of adverse reactions are even actually reported through this system. I can't verify that. I have no idea. I'm just going to base my information on what has been reported. Okay? In 2021, there has been 521,000 reports made to VAERS this year. Okay? 521,000. Or COVID vaccine specifically. Which is 97.68% of all reports. 97.68% of all reports for vaccine adverse effects in 2021 have come. And then you say, where did you get this data? I went to their government website. I downloaded their data sheets and I went through their data personally. Okay? Do it yourself. Of those, 47% were from Moderna. 41% were from Pfizer. And 9% were from Johnson & Johnson. Okay? Now, of that statistic, about 6,500 people had died through VAERS. That was in 2021 only. If you add 2020, it's about the same number. It's around 13,000 reported deaths from the COVID vaccine. Okay? Just to put that in perspective, the flu has about 167 million vaccinations every year on a regular basis. Okay? Of those, there was 31 reported deaths. For COVID, in one year, it was 167 million vaccinations. It was like the same number. They kind of stopped the data there. Of those, 5,289 deaths. So it's 31 times more likely, I think. Right? It might even be higher than that. But basically, one out of 31,000 vaccinations, someone's dying. According to the reporting of VAERS. Okay? Every 31,000 vaccines administered, about one person is dying. That's reported specifically to VAERS. They say that, okay, now they give actually, it's 169 times more likely to die from the flu vaccine. Okay? Based on just the VAERS reporting alone. Of adverse reactions. So that same number of vaccines, 167 million flu and 167 COVID. They say 9,665 adverse reactions to the flu and 465,000 for COVID. So about one out of 361 people reported an adverse reaction to VAERS. Now this is not saying that they, that's the likelihood of getting an adverse reaction. If you look at the statistics of the adverse reaction according to their own placebo and other studies, it was basically 50% or higher had at least one of the symptoms. I don't even know what the percentage of having any. Okay? A lot of symptoms, at least half of the group had an adverse reaction of headache, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting or whatever. But it got so severe to the point where they literally reported it to VAERS, it was one out of 361. There is about 350 million vaccines that have been administered up to this point. Okay? But not 350 million, Joe Biden. Okay? That would be more than America. Twice, or not twice, but more than America. You look up these stats. Okay? I have the charts, I have the information, you know, that you can look up. We don't know the long-term issues though. We're talking about short-term issues like dying, like having a lot of other issues. There could be autoimmune disorders that develop from this. And I have a study here that talks about that and they say, well, there's no link, but we don't know what's going to happen in the future. Okay? But you can read it and I think reading it didn't make me feel any more comfortable. What's an autoimmune disorder? Autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune means that your body is producing antibodies to fight an illness, but it actually fights yourself. It fights good parts of your body or legitimate parts of your body. Well, think about it. If you're being injected with this COVID vaccine where there is no virus and it's creating all these antibodies, well, what are they going to end up doing? And it's like having a whole bunch of soldiers with no one to fight. It's like they might just pick a fight, you know, as it were. And why do I want that in my body? I don't want my body to fight itself in order to think that there's something weird going on to fight it. Here's another reason why I'm against it. So that was just the stats from VAERS, okay? Autoimmune disease issues, other long-term effects. Here's one that really bothers me. It feels like we're implementing an anti-cry system. Okay? Now, go to Revelation chapter 13. I've got a few more minutes, okay? Get another donut if there's one over there, all right? But there's lots of reasons why I'm against this. And, you know, here's one, vaccine passports. You know, if this is such a great medicine, why are you having to force people to do it? You know, typically things that are great, you don't have to force anyone to do it. Everybody wants it. You know, it's flying off the shelf. Hey, when they came out with PlayStation 3, we were lining out the Best Buy to get that thing. You didn't have to convince me, you know, I'm out there trying to buy one, okay? I mean, when it's great, I mean, the iPhone, people are lining up to get that sucker, you know? When it's something people want, water, you don't have to advertise that. People are buying that, it's coming off the shelf, you know? I mean, you make a good product, you don't really, you don't have to advertise it, it advertises itself, okay? When people have to advertise it to get it, this is why I don't like multi-level marketing systems. This is a different term, okay? But if the only way you can buy it is through a special agent or whatever that comes to your house and has a party, it's like it's probably not a great product, okay? Just letting you know. If it's a great product, everybody's going to want to get it, get their hands on it. But what does the Antichrist do? He forces you to take something so that you can buy or sell. Vaccine passport, right? Revelation chapter 13, look at verse 17. And that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Now, let me say this. Some people say, oh, the vaccine is the mark of the beast. No, okay? The mark of the beast is worshipping the Antichrist and getting his number, the number of his name, okay, in your body. And I haven't seen anybody get vaccinated in their right hand or in their forehead. Pretty much usually here, okay? So it's definitely not the mark of the beast. It's not even a question if it is. But the vaccine passport and the framework and everything that's being set up to accommodate this is eerily similar to togging the switch onto the mark of the beast. You know, to say, hey, we have all this system in place of vaccine passports. Let's click that one off and click on mark of the beast. You know, that makes sense. And that's kind of eerie when it comes to this being forced, why I'm really against it. In fact, I was going to look up all the countries that are implementing vaccine passports and have a list for you. But I'd be reading for another like five minutes because it's like so many countries. It's insane how many countries literally have vaccine passports. Not only just countries and governments, but even companies, institutions, restaurants all over the world are literally restricting people unless they get their app of this vaccine passport. OK, I'm against it. Insider has a article. They said the idea of a vaccine passport, some form of verified proof of one's covid-19 vaccine has been the subject of much speculation with places like sports arenas, airports and even some employers requiring such proof. The availability of apps and resources dedicated to housing vaccine card information is on the rise. He's saying, oh, speculation. But you think it's here already here. It's already happening. Lots of people are being forced to go down this road. And you say, well, you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Welcome to the club. OK. Now, again, let me say this about conspiracy theories. I do believe in lots of conspiracy theories. OK, why don't we just unload the truck for a second? The Bible talks about conspiracy theories. That doesn't mean I believe every conspiracy theory. Go to Acts chapter 23. Go to Acts chapter 23 for a moment. What do you mean, Pastor Shelley? Look, if you don't think there's something weird about the Vegas mass shooting, you know, you haven't researched it. The fact that this guy brought in like dozens and dozens of guns into his hotel room in Las Vegas and all the camera footage just isn't available. And he's shooting at people from like fifteen hundred yards away. And he's not an expert marksman. I mean, anybody that's actually shot a gun realizes it's kind of hard. I mean, I actually had our church do some participation in getting certified. Praise God, we don't need to anymore. But you have people with a handgun shooting at a target like fifteen feet away and they can't even hit the target sometimes. You're going to tell me the guy with a long rifle shooting at a huge angle, fifteen hundred feet away, he may never hit this target. OK. Yet, he's just nailing his target from super far away in his Vegas hotel and then he just happens to kill himself before anybody can ask questions. It's like, and you have all these videos that are put online where you can literally hear different guns firing at the same time. Where it's like, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat. It's like, that wasn't one guy sitting up here like Rambo, like, ka, cha, cha, ka, you know. It's like, something weird about that. OK. Sandy Hook. Super weird. Lots of weird stuff. It's a school where there's only one entrance in and out. There just happens to be a fire station right next to the only entrance and exit that's immediately blocked off. They just happen to have, like, a training day for a school shooting at the same time. Hmm. I wonder how that works. It just happens that the dad whose five-year-old had just been killed in a mass shooting, he's walking up for an interview. This is how he's walking up. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm one of the parents whose kid was killed. It's like, what in the world? Who's laughing and joking five seconds before they give a live interview about how their kid just died and then has to hyperventilate and pretend like he's sad in front of cameras? Something super bizarre, my friend. You say, how would they do all this? Look, they hire a bunch of actors to have a fake event and they tell everybody, hey, we're having a planned mass shooting. And they get everybody trained and they get them all ready and they're like, you're going to have to do a camera interview and pretend like your kid was killed. Here's your role. Here's your name and everything like that. And then when they get really close to it, they say, oh, by the way, we're going to pretend like it's real. And you say, why would people go along with that? Because they tell them, well, we have to pretend like it's real. Otherwise, we'll never get the real experience of what it's like and how the media is going to react and how society is going to react. And we need all that natural response so that we can plan better and we can prevent these things in the future. So they can literally brainwash people into thinking that they're helping the government and helping society by having a fake event like this. And they don't realize the consequences of it. And most of the people they hire for it are already ardent against guns. They're already like, you hate guns? Let's put you in play. And then they become like a rabid anti-gun activist for the rest of their life after these events take place. They say, you sound like a crazy person. Well, you know what? It's time to sound like a crazy person, okay? 9-11 was an inside job, okay? Building 7 is a 47-story skyscraper that fell in seven seconds flat and no plane hit it. Zero planes hit it. Now, two planes hit the train towers, the two, the tall ones. But Solomon's building, which is a third building, three buildings fell on September 11th. Welcome to the club, okay? That one just fell and every person in their right mind would look at it and say, controlled demolition, okay? That's why there's a whole website called architects and engineers for 9-11 truth. Go check it out. They make documentaries proving this stuff, okay? Look up the Titanic. Is it interesting that the Titanic happens to be involved with J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller, who wanted the Federal Reserve and many other rich people said, no, it's evil, it's wicked. They all happened to die in the Titanic and then the Federal Reserve came out the year after the Titanic was destroyed. That's weird. And they just happened to get insurance on that, you know, boat and collected the insurance. Just like the Solomon Tower, the owner of the Solomon Tower, the building 7, he took out terrorist insurance just a few months before it was blown up by terrorists. That's weird coincidences. The world's largest gold reserve just happened to be under the World Trade Center and a lot of it was not recovered. I don't know what happened. These terrorists with box cutters are really smart. You know what would be better? How about let's invade the country because of terrorists destroying our country with box cutters and let's go ahead and give them millions of guns and tanks and all kinds of stuff instead. I mean, think about that. Think about the logic. This group is an evil, wicked, terrorist group and they just took down a lot of places in our world with box cutters. So, instead, you know what we're going to do? We're going to go over there and spend billions and billions of dollars on all kinds of equipment and hand it to them for free. I mean, it's so many guns, it's insane. They have so much ammo and guns, they're just firing them every second just because they're excited. Like, I've never seen this many guns in my life. And think about it, this is coming from the same government that wants to take away all of your guns. They want to take away all your guns and then give them to the Taliban. Literally. That's literally what they did. Think about the logic here. Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. You're a conspiracy theorist when someone's saying, I want to take your gun away and give it to someone that I've told you wants to hurt you. I mean, the Taliban litters their chants, death to America, America's wicked, America's evil. Why would you arm that? Why would you give that all this free guns and free ammo and free tanks and free military? All kinds of crazy nonsense. How about Operation Northwoods? You say, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist. You know, Operation Northwoods, they've already released all the documents. Let me read to you about this. Operation Northwoods is a proposed false flag operation against American citizens that originated with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency or other U.S. government operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government and using it to justify a war against Cuba. The possibilities detailed in the document included the possible assassination of Cuban immigrants, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes to be shot down or given the appearance of being shot down. That sounds familiar. Blowing up a U.S. ship and orchestrating a violent terrorism in U.S. cities. In fact, they were going to bomb Texas specifically because they're so close to Cuba to try and justify this. The proposals were rejected by President John F. Kennedy, who just happened to get killed in Dallas by being assassinated. I wonder why. And Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself either, okay? Oh, you're serious. Acts chapter 23, look at verse 12. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. And they were more than 40 which had made this conspiracy. Yeah, I'm a conspiracy theorist. You know the word conspiracy is found in your Bible over and over and over and over again? Because it just happens. Now, I'll say this. Just because I'm a conspiracy theorist, so-called, or whatever you want to label me as, I just call it believing the truth, okay? Doesn't mean I believe everyone. And this is what a lot of people do, is they believe really stupid conspiracy theories to try and make us look dumb. Like what? The Flat Earth theory. And let me just help you for a second, okay? This is how you know if a conspiracy theory is legit or not. If it's censored on YouTube, probably legit. If it's being promoted and not censored on YouTube, you should run away screaming. Isn't it interesting that Sandy Hook can't find on YouTube anywhere? But Flat Earth, you can find it all day long. Building 7? Really hard to find now. You can find all kinds of- Bigfoot? You can find it. Elvis is still alive? Come on down. You know? How about this one? Moon landing's fake. Hmm, I wonder why they're not censoring that one. Look, I believe we landed on the moon. And if you don't, don't tell Buzz Aldrin because he'll punch you in the face, okay? Look, I even think, you know, believing that the germ theory is fake is bad, okay? Because, look, it's obvious that people get sick from other sick people. If you don't want to call that germs, okay, call it something else. But if you embrace all this weird stuff- You know, 9-11, people say this, no planes were used at all. They'll literally say it was holograms. Or you go to Alex Jones and you know what you'll find out? You'll have people come on Alex Jones and they'll say, the Pope's a hologram. Hillary Clinton's in prison. Everybody's an alien reptile. Get a coffee enema. You know, like whatever, like all kinds of weird stuff. And look, here's Alex Jones' method, okay? It's called the shotgun approach. He says every conspiracy theory and everything that's ever been talked about. And then, some of them are true. And he only points back to all the things he said that was true. He's never pointing back to all the things he said were false, or stupid, or didn't make any sense. And if we bring in all kinds of weird stuff- I don't want to be the weekly worldly news. Where it's like, man gets pregnant. It didn't happen. You know, Octomom gives birth to a rabbit. It's like, that's the weekly worldly news. That's fake. That's stupid. And look, the majority of stuff on Infowars is fake. I'm not saying that he doesn't say things that are true. But it's a lot of hyperbole. It's a lot of fake stuff. Do none. Fake. Okay? Now look, they'll attach themselves to things that are true. So it sounds good. There's a bunch of pedophiles in the government. True. Okay? And then they attach all these weird conspiracies to it. Like, everybody in Europe has been arrested. And you know, we need to evacuate right now. Because there's going to be a bomb sent off. It's like, no. Okay? Get the bomb shelter ready. You know, or all these fake false prophets saying that Trump is really elected and he's going to stay in office and he's actually still the president in Mar-a-Lago or whatever. He's never stopped being the president. Actually, John F. Kennedy is still alive. And you know, it's like, what are you talking about? No. Now you say, well, if it's truly part of the Antichrist New World Order, are you going to just, is that a reason to reject it? Well, if there's a reason to reject that, then guess what? Give up your social security number too. And your driver's license. And your car insurance because it's being forced on you. And guess what? You need to get a machine gun because they infringed on your second memorite. Get an automatic weapon. You can't have that. They've already forced that you can't have that one, right? When you go to TSA, say I refuse and just hop over the line and just run on your plane. Don't go through the naked body scanner. Okay? Get rid of your cell phone because that's definitely tracking you. FYI. When it comes to healthcare, they have all kinds of universal systems like ICD-10, ONC certification, SureScripts, and PQRS that I worked on. I've literally helped create and help our systems integrate with the government system so they can track all your medical records. And yes, I'm sure it's part of the Antichrist system. You're welcome. Okay? HIPAA compliance. Hey, if you use Google and Facebook, you're part of the New World Order, buddy. Okay? TikTok. Hey, Siri is always listening. Think about it. Because as soon as you say her name, she's there. Why? Because she's always listening. Always. Echo Dots, you bring those things in your house, always listening to you. Okay? Now, bear with me. I have a few more minutes. Okay? Go to Matthew 6. I'm going to do two more plays. Go to Matthew 6 and John 17. I'll be done. All right? Why bring all this up? Because when you bring up vaccination, people are ready to go, like, take on the government and let's, you know, overthrow the government or whatever. Now you sound like Barabbas. Okay? And Barabbas, he killed people in an insurrection. And it's like, well, yeah, but it wasn't right for the Romans to take over the Jews. Sure. But what did Jesus do? He paid his taxes. He just got along. And look, you're not going to overthrow the Antichrist system. It's coming whether you like it or not. Now, that doesn't mean that you have to pay for it. I'm not going to give money to Israel to build the new temple. Okay? But at the end of the day, if I have to use modern conveniences, which are going to help enable the Antichrist system to be built, so be it. I'm there. You know, Daniel is helping the Babylonians. He's like their best guy. You know? Does that really mean like he's helping the devil or something? You can't get too concerned about these things because at that point you're going to live in a bubble. Because you're going to realize that your company sells liquor and you're going to realize that the people at your company aren't of God. You probably work for a Jew in some way. Your company probably sells money on usury in some way. You know, they have credit cards or they have some kind of sinful thing going on. I mean, look, if we analyze your company, there's something sinful going on somewhere. Every restaurant you go to, they probably support fags in some way. But, you know, the ones that don't, let's keep supporting them and keeping them alive, you know, on life support. I'm all for doing that which is right. But you have to realize we live in a world of compromise. We live in a sinful world. The whole world lies in wickedness. We're not going to go set up a commune. We're not bringing in the kingdom. Antichrist is coming, okay? You have to get over it. Now, I'm all for what the Bible says, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather fear them. I'm all for exposing all this. Hey, you want to go tell your friends about Building 7? Knock yourself out. You want to go tell them about all those conspiracy theories? Have fun. I would avoid the ones that YouTube promotes because you're pretty much falling for their sucker game. They're like, look at this Flat Earth one. It's cool. Check it out, you know. Anything that's real, they're censoring because they realize that the truth is powerful. So they're shutting all that stuff down hard, okay? But at the end of the day, here's the ultimate truth. And guess what? Let's see if it passes our litmus test. Is this getting shut down hard on social media? Absolutely. Why? Because it's real, because it's true. And the more true it is, the harder it is to put it out there. I'm in a vaccine sermon, it's gone. Vaccine sermon, gone. Anything about reality, gone. Medical information, gone. Anything about the election being stolen? Look, the election was stolen! I've listened to thousands and thousands of sworn testimony from people. They have video of them literally stuffing the ballots in front of everybody's face, and they don't care. There's new video that's supposedly coming out. I haven't seen it. A lot of witnesses have said they have the video evidence of people coming with backpacks onto the Georgia ballot boxes and literally just shoving ballots into the boxes. They have it on video. They said they had 230 plus people doing this. All over the state. That's not even to mention potential hacking issues, or software issues, or whatever. And look, understanding how software works, it is impossible to have a safe and secure election using software. Impossible. It's not possible, because you can always fake it, tweak the numbers, whatever you want. It has to be paper, and it has to be counted by multiple witnesses. That's the only way it could be truly fair. I'm all for exposing it! I'm all for saying it was stupid, it was wrong, it's bad, it's evil, our government is satanic, our government is a bunch of pedophiles, Joe Biden doesn't even have a brain, most of these people worship the devil when they go to their satanic grove in California. Bohemian grove. They put on dresses and act like faggots, and they do all kinds of weird pedophile satanic rituals constantly. Yeah, I know! But you know what, the devil is the one in control of all of them, and the devil is bringing in the new world order, and the devil is bringing in the anti-Christ system, and you know what, even if we got rid of all of them, the devil will bring in a new crop. Good luck. It's going to happen. So you know, what you should pray for is to be delivered from the evil. Look at Matthew chapter 6 verse 13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Go to John 17 and I'll finish, quickly. What does evil there mean? Not sin, harm. There's a lot of harm in this world, there's a lot of evil in this world, and we're supposed to pray to be delivered from it. So when it comes to the vaccination, here's my prayer, I just pray that I'm delivered from the evil of the vaccination. You know what, it could get to a point, look, if every single person on the planet's been vaccinated, I'm the last one standing, you know, and they say, take it now, or we're going to force you to put a bullet, it's like, I guess I'm just going to go along with the club, you know. I mean, maybe if I was going to lead the charge against it or something, but that's not the charge I want to make. Hey, I wear an automatic deception t-shirt out in public, okay. Hey, I'm not against, I mean, I have protesters, you know, constant trying to shut me down, they can go to hell! I don't see myself stopping. I mean, look, I'm not going to back down, I'm not going to cower down to the things that the Bible says, but the things that are just stupid nonsense, like paying taxes and this healthcare crap and whatever, it's like, quit making that the biggest deal. You know what's the biggest deal? The fact that people are going to die and go to hell this year, and a lot of Christians are so worried about whether or not, you know, the vaccine, what's going on there, as opposed to the fact that there are so many people that believe a false gospel. They're more worried about their Catholic neighbor not getting the vaccine than their Catholic neighbor getting the gospel. Stupid. And you know what? You're going to see churches that this is the only stand they take because they're carnal. And hey, I'm not saying don't preach against it. I'm not saying don't expose it. I'm not saying don't warn your people. But you know what? It shouldn't be the emphasis of church. You shouldn't come here and hear a vaccine sermon every single week. That's why you're getting like four of them in one time right now, okay. I'll even show you my picture over here, okay. I meant to show you this. Here's my picture. Here's the measles vaccine, all right. Here's measles deaths per 100,000, okay. Here's the 1900s. Here's 1984, all right. When was the vaccination introduced? All right. I'm going to draw a line first, okay. If I said it was introduced here, would you say it had a dramatic effect? This was when Hoover Dam was finished, okay. What if I drew a line back here? Maybe. Here's where the vaccine was introduced in like 1963. Here is your measles vaccine. And they'll say, oh man, measles vaccine really ended measles. Any normal logical person would say, no. But you know what they'll say? From here to here, we eradicated 99%. Like true. And then you know what, they'll show you a chart from here to here. And the chart from here to here will look like this. It'll be like, it'll be like, oh, we introduced it right here. You know, 1963 and it went straight down. And then you're like, oh yeah, what if we go back to the 1900s? Didn't have an impact, okay. They're a bunch of liars. They're a bunch of deceivers. And I want to be protected from that kind of evil. And the church is the pillar and ground of the truth, okay. But at the end of the day, I'm not going anywhere. Like when it says in John chapter 17 verse 14, I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. You know what? I want to be protected from as many harmful things exist in this world. And look, if you say, Pastor Shelley, you're an idiot. You don't know anything about medicine. You're foolish. I think the vaccine is the greatest thing ever. I totally believe all of the government documents and information. Knock yourself out. Get every booster too. And you know what? I'll still pray for you. I'll still go sowing with you. I'll be your friend. Okay? I'm not going to hate on you. And if someone gets the vaccine, you know what? Realize, though, I've shown that there's probably a lot of bad things that can be associated with it. There might be a lot of consequences associated with it. Okay? Let's not make it something that it's not. We're not leaving this world. We're supposed to be in the world. Notice that we're in the center part of DFW. I'm not going off into a commune and becoming Amish. Okay? We're going to be in the front and center, and I'm going to try and stay as clean as I possibly can. But you know what? The most important thing is going out and preaching the gospel of the law. All right? Let's go in prayer. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving us the truth of the word of God. And thank you for making our bodies so resilient that we can withstand so many evil things anyways. I pray that whoever is actually really concerned with this, that you give them peace from the Bible, give them comfort, that people would not worry and stress themselves over things that ultimately are not that important. What's really important is the gospel. What's really important is serving the Lord Jesus Christ. What's really important is realizing that this whole world is just going to be burned up and that we should live for eternal consequences, things of eternal value like souls. And I pray you would just motivate people to more than ever preach the truth of God's word. Take a bold stand to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to get on fire for the things that are really important, the things that you did. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. With that, let's close it out with one more song before we're dismissed. Go ahead and take out your hymnal again to song 183, Oh How I Love Jesus, song number 183. Oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. It tells me of a Savior's love who died to set me free. It tells me of His precious blood, the Savior's perfect King. Oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. It tells me of my Father that He's gone for every day, and though I tread a darksome path, it summons I all the way. Oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. It tells of one whose loving heart can feel my deepest woe, who in each sorrow bears a part that none can bear below. Oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. Amen. Thank you all for coming. You are dismissed. God bless. .
