Thank you Pastor Walker and all those at G3 for this faithful exposition, not exegesis based in fancy and fable, but pure exposition of His Word. Col 3:10-11 "but Christ is all and in all". There's so much imported to us in the above verses, just seven words in length when getting down to the root of their meaning, One of which far outshines the others. So much more is being said in these verses than many will ever know or come to understand. Num 6:24-26 for you, yours and all those around you.
I don’t see this title as click bait. He told you what is so dangerous from the Catholics - they have added to scripture and that’s very dangerous. They have a false gospel.
Perhaps one of the greatest and most solid sermons I have ever heard. (And I worked for the Southern Baptist Convention for 20+ years, so I’ve heard more than a few.) Thank you all for your rock solid faithfulness! Or should I say Solid Rock?!
Well said & expressed to our family & to your flock. A fine post that speaks to the changes that have seeped into the Catholic Church & destroyed its own biblical certitude in Christ alone---also known as "sola scriptura." A welcomed post! God bless you.

I think in this case the title is appropriate.. the Catholic Church is not named but Paul urgently warns about being taken by human philosophy and deceit. ( e.g. Catholic tradition)
Rome knows its own history which is why they are trying to distance Rome and from being identified with the church that is headquartered in the Vatican. They no longer call themselves the Roman Catholic church but the "Catholic" church, and what does the word catholic mean? It means universal, as in the universal church. God, through Peter - the supposed founder of Roman Catholicism, wrote “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Roman Catholic Church,” The term originates as an insult created by Anglicans who wished to refer to themselves as Catholic. They thus coined the term “Roman Catholic” to distinguish those in union with Rome from themselves and to create a sense in which they could refer to themselves as Catholics (by attempting to deprive actual Catholics to the right to the term). Different variants of the “Roman” insult appeared at different times. The earliest form was the noun “Romanist” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which appeared in England about 1515-1525. The next to develop was the adjective “Romish” (similar to something done or believed in the Catholic Church), which appeared around 1525-1535. Next came the noun “Roman Catholic” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which was coined around 1595-1605. Shortly thereafter came the verb “to Romanize” (to make someone a Catholic or to become a Catholic), which appeared around 1600-10. Between 1665 and 1675 we got the noun “Romanism” (the system of Catholic beliefs and practices), and finally we got a latecomer term about 1815-1825, the noun “Roman Catholicism,” a synonym for the earlier “Romanism.” A similar complex of insults arose around “pope.” About 1515-25 the Anglicans coined the term “papist” and later its derivative “papism.” A quick follow-up, in 1520-1530, was the adjective “popish.” Next came “popery” (1525-1535), then “papistry” (1540-1550), with its later derivatives, “papistical” and “papistic.” (Source: Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, 1995 ed.) This complex of insults is revealing as it shows the depths of animosity English Protestants had toward the Church. No other religious body (perhaps no other group at all, even national or racial) has such a complex of insults against it woven into the English language as does the Catholic Church. Even today many Protestants who have no idea what the origin of the term is cannot bring themselves to say “Catholic” without qualifying it or replacing it with an insult.
Cyril of Jerusalem “[The Church] is called catholic, then, because it extends over the whole world, from end to end of the earth, and because it teaches universally and infallibly each and every doctrine which must come to the knowledge of men, concerning things visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly, and because it brings every race of men into subjection to godliness, governors and governed, learned and unlearned, and because it universally treats and heals every class of sins, those committed with the soul and those with the body, and it possesses within itself every conceivable form of virtue, in deeds and in words and in the spiritual gifts of every description” (Catechetical Lectures 18:23 [A.D. 350]).
@@bibleman8010Sorry, but you have turned what is simply a distinction into an insult. The Catholic Church is more than the Roman Catholic Church.. But the Church of Rome has strayed so far from the truly Catholic faith (as laid out in the Bible) that it is no longer worthy of the name "Catholic".
Any works mentioned alongside faith in the bible are works of obedience, not works of merit or works of the law. So to activate our faith, we do things that reveal our love for God and our neighbors. Such are the works Jesus mentions when He talks about separation of Sheep from goats (the righteous from the wicked). These works themselves do not save, but they are part of our sanctification. When we believe in JESUS that He is our savior and confess, we're justified. Then we go on to do works, such as prayer, worship, helping the needy, giving, etc, for our sanctification, as we wait for glorification in the end. All that is salvation.
This is a solid sermon. So let no one drag you back to Moses, as the Reformers did. Shabbat was never changed to Sunday and neither is a commanded observance to Christians. If a law is not given in the newest Testament, then having been fulfilled ot is layed aside like a paid off debt.
How are you doing on the other 9 Commandments? If you really care about settling this issue, please see Hebrews. The Sabbath isn't a particular day but rather rest.
I don’t think you even understand your own comment. The Reformers did not drag anyone back to Moses. The Reformers led the world back to Christ and back to the truth of Scripture. They broke the chains of bondage to the heresies of Roman Catholicism and proclaimed the truths of the five Solas. Moses and Shabbat? Please stop majoring in minors and focus on the main thing….Christ.
@@HearGodsWord The 10 commandments were only ever for national Israel and being fulfilled by Christ, are now as Paul says, like an honorable former schoolmaster that have no authority over us. Does that mean I am free to murder? No, because I am under the Law of Christ as given through his Apostles in this aeon. While SOME of the rules (9/10) may not only remain the same but be even stricter, the authority for those rules has changed. Moses specifically said not to listen to him once Christ came. The Jerusalem council in Acdts 15 settled that. Y'all are semi-judiezers who pick and choose what is convenient to you via traditions of men what of Moses to enforce. This adding of traditions of men to the rules of God began somewhere between Gen 2 and 3.
What!? Repentance and Faith are required for salvation. it is what the gospel requires....placing your faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-10).

According to the Reformers justification is once for all and is therefore is by faith alone. Is this teaching scriptural?The phrase "justified by faith" appears four times in New Testament (Rom. 3:28, 5:1, Gal. 2:16, 3:24). New Testament was written in Greek and the one in Rom. 3:28 is in Greek passive present tense while the rest are in Greek passive aorist tense . Both tenses do not indicate once for all justification. If Scripture teaches faith-alone justification, then the Holy Spirit would inspire Paul to write the phrase "justified by faith" in Greek passive perfect tense . According to the Reformers through faith alone justification we are counted as righteous but remains unrighteous - in Latin "simul iustus et peccator". But according to Scripture (Rom. 5:19) through Christ we are made righteous. Is being made righteous necessary for our salvation? Scripture says death is the wages of sin (Rom. 6:23) and the soul that sins shall die (Eze. 18:4). It is righteousness that delivers from death (Pro. 10:2, 11:4). “Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live” (Pro. 11:19). “In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death” (Pro. 12:28). Jesus said in Mat. 25:46 that the righteous shall go to eternal life. According to the Reformers through faith alone believers get Christ' righteousness imputed on them as if it were theirs while Christ got all their sins (past, present, and future) imputed on Him as if those sins were His - it is known as double imputation. But Scripture denies double imputation in Eze. 18:20: “The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.”
