Hey everybody, Pastor Steven Anderson here from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona to comment on the recent video about how Adam Fanon changed God's word. What he basically did was he took an image of the Bible on Exodus 20 and he added a verse to the text that said, thou shalt not Halloween. So this was the thumbnail for his sermon against Halloween. Now, obviously adding to God's word in this way, making an image of a page of God's word with a verse added to the text that's your personal opinion put forth as coming from God is blasphemous and wrong. But tons of people were just jumping to his defense about how, well, he's clearly just kidding. And actually Victor Tay complimented the image as being creative. And so everybody just seems to be jumping to the defense of this, but folks, it's wrong. It's blasphemous, you're adding to God's word. I don't care if it's a joke, it's still blasphemous and wrong. Now, if this were the only mistake that Adam Fanon made, I could see people saying, hey, it was just an innocent mistake, but you'd still have to at least admit that it was a mistake, that it's wrong, it's blasphemy and not praise it or say that it's fine. But I could see if this were the only mistake that he'd made people could say it was an innocent mistake, but this is a person that's been proven over and over again to be double tongued, duplicitous, a liar, a conniving, flattering backstabber that has shown himself to be a textbook Judas Iscariot. If you don't understand that, then watch my sermon called Sheba the Son of Bikrai, Adam Fanon Exposed. And if that sermon doesn't convince you, then you need to hear my sermon I preached last night called Being Gullible, because that's what you are if you actually still believe that Adam Fanon is a good guy, okay? But Pastor Shelley's clip that he made about Adam Fanon changing God's Word wasn't trying to say, well, because he made this image, that proves that he's a reprobate. Folks, we already know what Adam Fanon is. Pastor Shelley's point was that Adam Fanon's a Judas Iscariot, so therefore it's in character for him to change God's Word. It's not like this is just one piece of evidence that's being used to condemn Fanon, okay? This is just showing an example of what Fanon is like. So it's just a symptom of the fact that the guy is a rotten Judas Iscariot infiltrator, so lo and behold, he's corrupting God's Word, changing God's Word. So people can try to defend this all they want, but the long and the short of it is that the image is blasphemous. And here's an aspect that I think a lot of people aren't even thinking about, is that he's basically with this image, teaching for commandments, the doctrines of men, okay? Now, let me just say right now, you know, I'm against Halloween. I believe it's a sin to celebrate Halloween. I believe it's a sin to smoke cigarettes. I also believe it's a sin to gamble. But I'm not gonna say that the Bible says that smoking is a sin. I'm not gonna say the Bible says thou shall not gamble. I'm not gonna get up and say the Bible says you can't celebrate Halloween because the Bible does not mention these three things, okay? Now, the reason why we believe smoking is wrong is because the fact that we examine what the Bible says about how your body's the temple of the Holy Ghost and how we're supposed to be clean and we're supposed to take care of our body and not abuse the temple. And then we extrapolate that and come up with an interpretation that says, therefore, we shouldn't smoke. So that's our conclusion. That's our interpretation. That's our opinion. And it's a valid opinion. It's a right opinion that God does not want us to smoke and that by smoking, we'd be sinning because we are defiling the temple and he commanded us not to defile the temple, okay? He commanded us not to make haste to be rich. Therefore, if we gamble, we're violating that commandment. But you can't just take your conclusion, your interpretation, your belief, and claim that it came from God or that God stated that somewhere that God has explicitly told us that, okay? So there's a big difference between me getting up and interpreting God's word, explaining what God's word means, and applying it to our lives than to just get up and say, well, the Bible says don't smoke. No, it doesn't say that, okay? That's where you've crossed the line at that point where you're teaching for doctrines, the commandments of men. You have to explain the rationale of, hey, the Bible's telling us not to do this. Therefore, it's a sin to celebrate Halloween, okay? But by just taking thou shalt not Halloween and put it into a text, that's a mentality of a person who wants to put their opinion, their conclusion on par with God's word and basically give their opinion and conclusion the same authority that God's word has.
