What does the Bible actually teach about work, laziness, poverty, and caring for those in need? We begin separating Scripture from cultural and political assumptions to discover a biblical theology that may challenge everyone.

Don't think you have done all that is incumbent upon you, when you have read the Scripture either in the family or the closet. Pray over it before God. Have you been reading any promises of spiritual blessings? Plead them with God. Has the chapter represented the odiousness of sin, its dreadful consequences, the falls of God's people, and the salvation of the chief of sinners? Then beg that your eyes may be opened to see the malignity of sin, the wickedness of your heart, and that you may be kept from those evils which many have fallen into, and be enabled to admire the riches of free grace in the salvation of creatures so unworthy, and in your own in particular.

The sermon argues that the papacy fulfills the biblical identity of the Antichrist not through explicit rejection of Christ, but via indirect denial through false doctrines and practices. By examining passages such as 1 John 2 and Titus 1:16, the text demonstrates that one can profess faith while simultaneously denying Christ's true nature, unique mediatorial office, and finished work. The speaker contends that Roman Catholic teachings on transubstantiation, the veneration of saints, and the re-sacrifice in the Mass effectively rob Jesus of His deity and sole headship over the church. This theological analysis serves to refute objections that the Pope cannot be the Antichrist because he verbally affirms Christ's divinity. Finally, the message urges believers to examine their own lives for similar indirect denials through hypocrisy and unrepentant sin, pointing to Christ's ongoing intercession as the sole source of hope.

The Bible gives us a description of the glory of the LORD. We should not accept the testimony of professing Christians (and others), especially when that testimony contradicts the Bible! Also Reference: Joshua 7:6, Revelation 1:14-16, John 3:7, 1 John 1:3 https://bbfohio.com
