“ Great Sermon! ” This series has been epic.
You may not add to nor take away from God's ethics, but such is impossible if you are drawing only on nature and conscience.
“ Great Sermon! ” I was surprised to hear Pastor Schwertly use Rushdoony in a good light. Check out his beliefs on Kinism on YouTube. He is heard saying that marriage between two races is just barely legal. I used to admire him, but have a hard time reading or listening to a man that holds to Kinism beliefs.
“ Excellent teaching ” Excellent in-depth presentation of the differences between amillennialism and postmillennialism. Thank you for all the research you put into this and all the quotes you read from good theologians who are/were amillennial. I appreciate the spirit with which you did this. I still waver between the two positions myself but this has clarified a lot of points for me.
“ Sober Warning To Fake Reformed Churches ” Once again, leave it to Brian Schwertley to hit the bulls-eye, the first time, on a blustery, windy day, from a thousand yards out. Today's Presbyterian churches have a LOT to answer for. First off, most have made a MOCKERY of God's Regulative Principle. Strange fire is offered regularly each Sabbath day to our thrice holy Jehovah; these ministers and elders think they're smarter and more enlightened than God Himself.
Donald Trump can't save America. But strict adherence to God's Regulative Principle, combined with vigorous programs of local evangelism, with the aim of disciplining whole nations for the rule and lordship of Christ, can.
When so-called Presbyterian churches embrace Christmas, they betray God. All one need do is read the first five books of Galatians to realize that embracing anything Popish will put a man on the highway to Hell. Therefore, it is SHAMEFUL for Christ's officers to allow Christ's church to sing Christmas songs or place wreaths on church buildings.
I disagree with Brian about the singing of Psalms. If congregations were educated about the necessity of adhering to God's ordained form of worship, they would come around. Psalm singing is true worship; it is JOYOUS worship. NOTHING beats worshipping God than with Psalm singing.
“ Cain Among Us ” This is one of many very powerful messages of the truth about Christmas.
How anyone can justify syncretism after learning about Cain and also knowing that it is rooted in paganism and also knowing Catholics created it and that Catholicism is against the sovereignty of God and his Christ and it is not biblical and it is nowhere mentioned as being acknowledged by anyone set apart to pen the inspired word God and it is strange fire because God did not ordain it as a means to invoke his presence is insane to say the least.
Yet some pastors will not take counsel from the scripture nor the brethren.
Pastor Schwertley has given facts about why we should not give it any attention; but seek to save those who have been entrapped by religious deceit.
This is the same as offering the golden calf because God was taking too long visiting his people in the manner they thought. Yet we see that God has visited us in a manner we have not expected. He has withheld blessing and promised influence in a wicked world because there are many false prophets in the world; having the spirit of Cain.
Its about them and not about the glory and honor of God who is holy.
“ The 'Church' Effeminate ” Really is a shame when so-called Protestants embrace the false god of socialism and statism as substitutes for hard work, individual responsibility, diligence, and, above all, dependence upon Jehovah for the supply of every human need. While we do have to be compassionate toward those whose minds have been corrupted by the wicked, secular, Christ-hating government schools, still, in the end, we must recognize that those who willfully live in sin, and apart from Christ's church, will earn the just deserts of a life of poverty and misery. The iron law of God's universe is that a man reaps what he sows -- something that neither politicians nor church "leaders" understand. Brian Schwertley is a modern-day Elijah.
“ Heart Advice ” Another powerful word from J C Ryle. The human heart even the Christian heart is deceitful and dangerous. Ryle's warning is timely but his solution here is God's solution from His Word and doctrine. Hear this sermon and learn from a godly teacher. God be with us.
“ Dominion ” I can't help but to think of what Pastor Schertley said about the birth rate in Europe. I've contemplated this for the past few months. This and along with their growing Muslim population that's actually doing what Christ's disciples should be doing. Liberals don't reproduce, they just consume until they die. At this rate most of Europe by the end of the 21st century will have adopted Sharia Law.
“ I Needed To Hear This ” Today, we who are members of so-called Reformed churches often have to walk a fine line between being zealous for, and being desirous of, biblical worship and the upholding of the Regulative Principle (for example, exclusive Psalm singing and the church's solemn duty to carry out Christ's Great Commission)... while at the same time maintaining a helpful, charitable attitude toward the church's leadership, who often fail to maintain adherence to biblical worship. Moreover, it seems to me that most Reformed churches are extremely insular. As a church member, you sometimes find yourself being put into the dubious position of having to fight city hall. This can be very frustrating, and it sometimes causes you to question your own stock of Christian love. This two-part series by Pastor Schwertley has certainly caused me to question my own.
“ Excellent Biblical Law Message ” As I listened to this, especially the part about how infrastructures erode due to socialist policies, I later was reminded about the Oroville Dam in socialist California.
Thank you for your reference to Gary DeMar's work, 'God and Government." I'm placing that on my 'must read' list.
“ Ultimate Reality Check ” This is a message that every Bible-believing disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ needs to hear. Unfortunately, it is a message rarely heard in Reformed circles today. Moreover, this kind of preaching would serve as a catalyst for Reformed church elders, deacons, and members to GET OFF THEIR DUFFS and start being obedient to Christ's Great Commission. Most Reformed churches today are extremely insular. All men apart from the work of the Holy Spirit applying the blood atonement of Christ to their souls are on their way to Hell. But we in today's Reformed churches barely lift a finger to help save the lost ... we who have been blessed with the knowledge of the Doctrines of Grace. Presbyterianism today is in a sad state of affairs. In addition to no longer worshiping God with Psalms, they do not evangelize their communities - a perfect recipe for dead orthodoxy. Whenever we look up at a clear blue sky ... or take in the beauty of a starry night ... we ought to think of Hell as being the invisible backdrop, for Hell is what awaits every man not justified by faith. Presbyterian seminaries have failed in instilling a sense of duty in all new pastors to reach the lost in their communities. The more frequent preaching of the doctrine of Hell is the anecdote to our wicked insularity.
“ Roman Catholics Going To Hell? ” In all my years of attending Reformed churches, have never, ever heard a pastor say the Roman Catholics will - no, must -- go to Hell believing ... holding to ... false doctrines. Brian Schwertley's sermons should be carefully listened to by all aspiring pastors and seminarians. No one speaks and preaches like Brian Schwertley. Could it be that Brian is America's Martin Luther?
“ A Message For The Times ... And For the West ” This message should be heard from every Bible-Believing civil magistrate across America and most especially state governors. of course, it should also be heard, and acted upon, by both individuals and heads of households. Finally, liberal pastors need to repent of their liberalism and the singing of effeminate, non-inspired "worship" songs. No repentance, no revival. No revival, then more death and destruction. Thank you, Pastor Schwertley! I often think of you as being America' Martin Luther. Have never heard such fearless preaching. Much needed in today's so-called "Reformed" churches.
“ Great Sermon! ” Good job on the series, Brian. I shared all 6 in my Facebook group and will get them out publicly as well.
My condolences on your recent loss. I tried to get in touch with you, but failed.
God Bless,
Duane
“ More research needed ” He touches on material that many people don't cite. However, he draws some wrong conclusions. For example, katastole' is mentioned to be attire, but ignores the possibility that it can conjure a particular type of attire to the mind. He states that dresses were not invented until later, but failed to note that they fit within a particular boundary or style of attire. Our use of the word dress can also mean attire in general but can also denote a certain type of attire meant for women. He also mentioned that the attire was let down, but failed to mention that pants are pulled up.
He correctly noted that noted the Jewish High Priest as wearing linen britches, but incorrectly state that only the priest wore them. It was only the high priest that was specifically required to wear them. The priest was also required to wear a bonnet, but that does not mean other men never wore one.
He correctly cited that certain women wore trousers in the ancient past. This is something feminist ignore when they make trousers a recent invention. However, he failed to state that most of these women wore them under other attire. Those only wearing trousers, ie. Celts, were considered barbarians by the Romans and others, and went back to dresses as Christianity influenced them.
