Send us a textArnie, Fred and Glenn continue their discussion of the apostacy or falling away from the New Testament pattern that occurred and, in this episode, continue to look at its history. We reviewed some of the departures we noted last week, in baptism and the Lord's Supper. Some began to worship men and women in the Catholic church, and we note that. Priests in the Catholic church also began hearing people confess their sins to them and we look at what this meant. We also discuss what was added to all the Bibles for a time. There were rules set up regulate what was eaten on certain days and, whether an individual ought to fast and even if priests and nuns could be married. We discuss these. Popes took upon themselves new titles and authorities that we note as well. All of these changes ended up causing a split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern, Greek Orthodox Church. We complete this episode by beginning to discuss some of the individuals, such as John Wycliff, John Hus, Martin Luther, who began to question the changes that were made which resulted in what is called the Protestant Reformation. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. A transcript of this Buzzsprout episode is provided for your convenience.

Send us a textFred and Glenn begin this episode noting that Paul predicted that there would be a falling away or apostacy that was a departure from the original gospel soon after the death of the apostles. We note that God has always provided a pattern for His people to follow. Noah was given specific instructions on how to build the ark. We note that Moses was given a pattern for building the tabernacle and those implements in it. We also talk about the pattern for the temple that God gave to David and the fact that David gave that same pattern to Solomon to follow in building the temple in Jerusalem. We then move our discussion to note that the New Testament contains the pattern for Christ's Church as well as the pattern for the Christian's behavior. We then begin to look at the historical record of the apostasy that Paul predicted would begin among the elders or bishops. We talk about the creation of dioceses that occurred in the second century and how this departed from the New Testament pattern. We then look at the changes that were instituted relating to the pattern for the bishops and the resulting hierarchy. We look briefly at Constatine's Edict of Milan that he issued in AD313 and what it did. We next talk about the Council of Nicaea and what it did in AD325. We close out this episode by noting when the first universal Pope or Bishop was named and what the structure of the church of that day resembled. We will begin the next episode talking about Constatine granting pagans church membership. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion.

Psalm 78 & Proverbs 22: Hypocrisy is the High Road to Apostacy by Shawn Ozbun

Jude 5-7

We chat about denominational systems and the pastor/priest system seriously clouds our responsibility as individual believers to "study to show [ourselves] approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" (2 Tim 2:15). The system also creates an enormous entryway for error and heresy and even a denial of the foundational truths of the faith (including a denial of the finished work of Christ). Surrendering our individual responsibility before God has destroyed many believers and has destroyed the truths of the revelation of our Apostle for this age, Paul.

A new MP3 sermon from Mount Zion Bible Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Perseverance and Apostacy Subtitle: Exposition of Hebrews Speaker: Pastor Jeff Pollard Broadcaster: Mount Zion Bible Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 2/2/2025 Bible: Hebrews 3:12-19 Length: 61 min.

Sermon Passage: 1 Timothy 4:1-5   Sunday February 2nd, 2025 at Harvest Bible Church.

The United States remains a somewhat religious society. Religious telecasts and podcasts are replete. Nevertheless, the morality of the nation has continued to decline. Bottom line: the U.S. is religious and godless at the same time. We are experiencing apostasy. Christianity lacks conviction and relationship with Christ. It has become a religious designation only. Today's message looks at this dilemma, and calls for something deeper.

Today we look at the apostacy and the need for a restoration.

Hebrews Part 6 (Hebrews 6:1-12 & 8:9-12) Followup session answering the great questions that came out of part 4, which asked ‘Can a Christian Permanently Fall Away?' The root of the answer is understanding what actually happens to you when you become a Christian, and then we look at some Scriptures which may seem to say the opposite.

Hebrews Part 4 (Hebrews 6:1-12 & 10:26-39) What does these passages actually say? And how do they fit in with other Scriptures that speak of the “Unforgivable Sin?”.

In this episode, Gerrit discusses the claim that President Joseph Fielding Smith destroyed pages of Joseph Smith's history so that the saints wouldn't be upset with some of the things found in the history. Gerrit also destroys Sydney Rigdon's claims to lead the Church after the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith. THANK YOU to all of those who donated to Sweetwater Rescue.

Pastor Brett Ricley Jude 11-16

Pastor Brett Ricley Jude 5-10

Following on from the previous teaching, this session reveals a third warning in the Book of Hebrews addressed to Jews who had converted from Judaism to Christianity and who were being persecuted for deserting their faith. They were now considering reverting to the Jewish faith for safety reasons. The passage warns that this action would result in persecution by the world shifting to discipline and correction by the Lord—a 'problem' far greater than what they were currently experiencing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dr-vincent-g-valentyn/support

Prophetic Apostacy

How would you define the 'Black Church'. Is there such a thing, biblically? The title has been used over and over throughout history and we are realizing just how divisive it is. The 'Black Church' is to be distinguished from Christians who are black. The black church is a politicized and secularized segment of black Americans who see Christian faith merely as a cultural aspect of their greater identity - blackness.  In this  church, Jesus is not Lord but a mascot of the culture and following after Him is not a priority. We look at the many diverging faith leaders today within the 'black church' and connect their apostacy with the natural trajectory of the historical black church. If Brandon could tell the story, the 'black church' is a synagogue of Satan. S.M.

When you go through seasons where God feels distant, you might think it's because you did something wrong. A recent caller struggled with not sensing the Spirit and feared it was because she had backslid and wavered in her faith. She asked if doubting was apostasy and if she had lost her salvation.The good news for believers is the Spirit lives in you no matter what you feel. Your rightness with God isn't based on the strength of your faith, how much time you spend in the Word, or whether you stumble or doubt.As I share in this episode, when you're saved, you're saved forever, and it's because of God's goodness, not your doing. You'll find great encouragement when you focus on what He's done and how He sees you!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Bearable Bible Passages (Learning about Bears in the Bible...?) - Grounded Ep. 23 Where did Steve come up with the idea for this episode? It probably won't make sense to you until part way, but give it a chance! We hope that today's episode will both be intriguing and also challenging to your understanding of the Bible, God, and yes, bears. Begin Show Notes: Bears in the Bible Why? B/c just read through 2 Kings, and in chapter 2 - story about Elisah, a roaming mob of insulting young men, and two mauling bears. And it's that biblical account that I really want to get to, but there are some other very interesting accounts in the Bible about bears, so we're going to start in some other places first. Actually, start - 2 Bear stories. One personal, and one in the news. *Personal… Kids, tent… *Another (many). Great smokies, female black bear (up to 300 lbs, 5'7” - the male 900) was grabbing food off picnic tables (Yogi and BooBoo), raiding trash cans, and even stealing backpacks. Relocate. Tranquilized, enclosed truck, relocated 1k miles, 4 states away. Georgia. Attached a geolocating device. What happened? That bear started walking. across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and then into Tennessee— returned to the campsite where it had been trapped. Never slowed down, just kept going (Forrest Gump bear; energizer bunny bear - keeps on walking). That female bear walked 1k miles, 4 states. How? Hidden GPS? Rand McNally atlas? (remember?). How? Had never been. Didn't see. Couldn't smell. Was drugged and inside an enclosed truck. How? And the ans is - we have no clue. Proposals - maybe able to follow Celestial or magnetic cues. (How?). Nobody knows! With all our science, physics - we just don't know. ***Bible - we are fearfully… and here we might note that even the the bears, animals of the world are fearfully and wonderfully made. (all kinds of animal migration that defies explanation). Glorifying the God who conceived and created it all. So two bear stories. Debbie's & mine, and the female energizer bear. But what about bears in the bible? Are there any? Yes indeed. *14X. However, most are not the animal, but the action. 1.Action? Yes, sometimes the word Bear - Bear one another Burdens. You will bear much fruit. That's the action. Not the animal. Bearing much fruit has nothing to do with bears. Job - (Job 9:9, 38:32) - not the animal. What? The constellation known in astronomy as (The Great Bear). The heavens declare. And God even put a great, big bear up there… But what about the animal in Bible? Are there any bears - the animal - in the bible? Yes. Bears in the life of David. (1 Samuel 17:34-35) David wants to fight goliath. You can't, you're a boy. But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear (not boo-boo) came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Whoah! Supernatural. Imagine grabbing a lion, a bear by the fur and killing? Bears fast. Powerful. A man can't. How? Supernatural. (God does things through me that are humanly impossible. I can kill the giant). (David at sight and sound - giant). More (1 Samuel 17:36) Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. Lions - reminded of “lions and tigers and bears, oh no.” - Dorothy. *Supernatural. David - “I am supernat empowered to kill unkillable things.” More - Ans how come can do that. (1 Samuel 17:37) The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.” The Lord. David knew it wasn't him. God. David trusted God… Gave glory to God. Bears in the life of David. And there's still another use of the word Bear in the Life of David. But this one likens David to a bear. (2 Samuel 17:8) Absalom (3rd son of King David) “You know your father (David) and his men; they are fighters, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Besides, your father is an experienced fighter; he will not spend the night with the troops. -So here David is likened to a bear. David is bear like. That is, David is a fierce fighter, a fierce warrior - like a wild bear.. -I just want to say - I'm really liking David. Interesting man. *Musician (temp - N). So david was.. *And yet fierce as bear. David is a manly man. David is not soft. David's not quintessential “nice guy. Just nice. Just affirm everybody. Musician/warrior. (And D, I will remind you, David prefigures, pre-pictures JC). So bears in the life of King David. But are there more bears in the Bible, Bears that are not connected with the life of Kind David? Yes. quite a few more. Wisdom lit. Exs: 3.(Proverbs 17:12) “Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.” 4.(Proverbs 28:15) Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people. Selah. So there's more… But that's enough. But now I want to come to that Bear - two bears - in the Bible that I mentioned earlier And that's going to bring us into the life and times of the OT prophet Elijah. Start w/ Elisha: Man of God. Prophet. Was supernaturally, mirac taken up - 2 Kings 2 - 1Now when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind. So… Did he? Yes. 2 K 2 - 11And as they (e and e) still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire (runner - Eric Liddell) and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. So pic that. This is what they saw, and this is what God did…. And Elijah Did not pass go. Did not collect $200. Went up. (Die first? Die later?). *OK, so Elijah went up. Where are the bears? 23He (Elisha) went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some youths came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore (Niv - Mauled, NKJV - Mauled, NASB - Tore up) forty-two of the boys. 25From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. Two things problematic for some people. 1 - he cursed them in the name of God. Cursed them, for a little mocking, taunting? Over the top? 2 - she-bears - tore 42. Of course, we are to understand, didn't just happen. No co-incidence. Providentially sent by God. Over the top. God of the OT? Andy S right - unhitched from the OT? *Bethel - the center for Apostacy). Wicked and idolat in Israel. *Boys. 42 killed, but 42 of them. So more. How many? Don't know. 50? Boys out roaming in a pack. Not well governed at home. What kind of parents allow? Yeah, you're getting the picture. These guys are out roaming around in a mob, looking for something to do, looking for trouble. *Baldy. Was bald? Mocking God's prophet. Mocking the man of God. *Go up - Mocking Elijah. They had heard about… Equiv = Mocking Jesus' ascension. *Mocking Prophet = Mock God. *Just that the God of Isr sent… (if not get that - too tinged with modern sensibilities of “nice.” Modern notions of God - supremely Nice. And you are forgetting that it is a fearful thing to fall… *So two bears in life of Elisha. Any more bears? One final. (Isaiah 11:7 - new heaven and earth) The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together (picture), and the lion will eat straw like the ox. (herbivorous) *Some - metaphor - reconciliation b/t enemies now, in this NC age. *Others - New heavens and new earth. Wherever you place it – it's to the Glory of God. So bears in the Bible. And before we go, one more reference to bears - modern culture, children's songs: If you go down to the woods today, You're sure of a big surprise If you go down to the woods today, You'd better go in disguise. For every bear that ever there was, Will gather there for certain, Because today's the day, The Teddy Bears have their picnic. "The Teddy Bears' Picnic" is a song consisting of a melody written in 1907 by American composer John Walter Bratton, and lyrics added in 1932 by Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy. Reflects our fascination with - Bears. B/c amazing creatures, created by a vastly more amazing creator God.
