Okay, we had. Bob and Lori Michigan pledge 100 Thank you, Bob and Lori. Thank you, Bob and Lori Okay, again those phone lines are open, we need to hear you we're going right to the scripture. And then we're going to go into some heavy duty prayer because boy do we need prayer. Now, we're going to pick it up where we left off there in Matthew chapter 21. And I'm going to read verses 12 and 13, and will I think jump over, then to john chapter two. So, and Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the seats of them that sold doves. And he said unto them, it is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but they'll have made it a den of thieves.
Well, here. He was quoting from Isaiah chapter 56 and also Jeremiah. Chapter seven, or versus 11 him. Yeah, just kind of read those if you had a good Jeremiah 711 in this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes, behold, I have seen it say if the Lord. And it was an Isaiah, seven, or 56 for 756 seven, even them will I bring my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer, or burn offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar.
Absolutely. So you know, I think about this because when you wouldn't do those tables that they had. They were made of stone.
Yeah, they were made of stone you had these big and so to flip those over. Now, here you have some very righteous indignation. People will say that Jen Jesus was gentle and never, never was angry.
Well, that's not true at all. Okay. And the purpose is to be angry. Okay, where it comes to the unrighteousness, but. And so here is called righteous anger right. Pardon. It's actually called righteous anger.
Yeah. And so, here. This is the second time.
This is the second time he did that. We're going to jump over to john chapter two, and verses 13 So, Joe, would you like to read verse 13 to 17, and then elder Berkeley verses 18 through 18 through 25. And the Jews Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And when he had made a scourge of small courts he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers money and overthrew the tables and said unto them that soul does take these things hence make not any, my father's house, a house of merchandise. And just see 17, and his disciples remembered that it was written, the zeal of thine house, have eaten me up. Then, answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign show us thou unto us, saying that thou do us these things, Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, 40 and six years was this temple and building and will and will thou rear it up in three days, but he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them, and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said. Now, when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast day, many believed in his name.
When they when they saw the miracles which he did, but Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men and needed not that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in man. All right, very good. Well, now we know you we start out, we have Jay, Jake laying the J six C six are joining us. Are you there, Jake. My brother, Pastor Ernie. God bless you.
I am out of prison from the prayers of the righteous have availed much haven't they, they have you spend over 1000 days there in that dirty DC jail didn't you. Yes 1460. Yeah. We're going to do, four years and big thing.
We're doing some. This here. John is the only, only one that records this passage here the first cleansing of the temple of the gospel. And he goes in he says in the Jews Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. So why do you think that he john was a Jew. So why do you think he said and the Jews Passover was at hand. He referred to it as the Jews Passover because at this time now, you had a number of Gentiles becoming Christians. The answer to that is because he was writing actually to the Gentiles. Okay, right.
And so here. And he found in the temple those that have so locks in the sheep and doves, and the changes of money. Well, one of the things happened there. You know, the chief priest, the high priest, him and his family, they were in charge of the exchange of money. And they had turned it into totally corrupt, they were exchanging money at an unfair rate. Right.
Yeah. And so, you know, they thought they was part of that USA ID, you know, getting rich up the powers that be right. Absolutely like today they're all using everything to get rich. When he had made a scourge of small chords he drove them out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen poured out the changers money and overturned their tables and said unto them that so doves. Let's hear next passages in all four of the gospels. Take these things hence make not my father's house a house of merchandise, and the disciples remembered that it was written the zeal of thine house has eaten me up but of course that was in Psalms 69 verse eight. And so, then answered the Jews and said unto him, What signs show us, though, to us, seeing that doubt does these things will the Jews always required a sign. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up. Of course he was referring to his own body, then said the Jews 46 years was his temple and building and will that reared up in three days. And now that now the disciples is making sense to him now they're saying hey you know what, okay, but he speak of the temple of his body, and when therefore he was risen from the dead is disciples remembered that he has said unto them, and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus said.
Now you can think about this here. They have been walking with Jesus, they had seen the miracles they had seen him walk on water, they had seen him do all these miracles feed 5000 and all of these things. And yet, he had to raise himself from the dead before his own brothers before his own brothers would believe upon him.
Okay. Therefore, when he was risen from the dead is disabled remember that he had said this unto them, and they believed the scripture and the word would Jesus has said. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast days many believed in his name. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them because he knew all men, and he needed not that any should testify of man, for he, for he knew what was in man.
Now I want to go back to Matthew and pick it up where we left off there. In verse 14, Matthew 21 verse 14, and the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he was, and he healed them. And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying into the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son. Son of David, you know, again, that Hosanna is a translation of the Hebrew term meaning. Please save please save in other words, Jesus names mean Savior of salvation. And so, instead of David, they were, they were sort of space well here now. Remember, if you're going back when he came in there, and when he started when he was talking about going to the village over against you verse two.
And straight away you shall find an ass tied in a cold with her loose them and bring them into me notice. This is the only one of the gospels that refers to the ass, and the cold to the others just referred to the cold, but it refers to also the full okay cold before. And that word full, what that means is unbroken, not ready to ride, not ready but but Jesus was not an ordinary man and this was no ordinary situation. So, here now, when he came in verse nine and the multitudes that went before him follow crying saying, Hosanna to the Son of David blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord Hosanna is the highest. He was already well known in Galilee, and then Galilee they were already referring to him as Messiah. But now he comes to the national leaders the national leaders of Israel, and the sad thing of it is is here, you know, this passage is called the triumphal entry. But the sad thing of it is is, you know, humanly speaking, was everything, but because he came to announce that his, his people were going to reject him.
Yeah, they were going to reject him. So, here then, I want to go to verse 16. He said it to them, not only that his people would reject him that he was very close to being crucified I mean, here you're receiving praise and Hosanna's and people are laying palm branches in front and all this attention, and knowing you have just a few days to live. I mean, it had to be, you know, the man part of him, this has got to be a really hard week.
Yeah, you're telling me. And so then he goes on to say, and he said unto them, Hearest thou what they say and Jesus said unto them, You have, you read, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou has perfected praise and that's Psalm 8 verse two, and he left them and went out of the city in Bethany, and he lodged there. I'm going to just stop right there and pick it up tomorrow with a cursing of the fig tree that's a very interesting passage to add one thing here, when we were in john and it was talking about his body being the temple, you know, destroy this temple.
It's fully gone fully man. And so you had a perfect example here God is dwelling, the spiritual fathers dwelling in the physical man. And we are the physical, when we're born again, we're born in spirit. Our body is the temple the indoor get born again we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, our body becomes a temple because we have the living God dwelling with us, and being born and we become the spirit returning Jesus came from the Father, the physical from the spiritual father were born physical and return and are born again spiritually to become children of God.
Well, they really never destroyed right. That's true but he, they never destroyed that temple, they because see his body was different than yours and mine. Oh right, right in our bodies we have sin, okay, and his bodies he had no human father, and so. So what they did is they, they killed him humanly speaking, but his body never deteriorated, and never what they referred to in First Corinthians 15 corruption, it never became corruption there. And so, sometimes I, you can feel the corruption in our bodies is why we get old, all the things happening to us now giving corruption like you and I with all the metal parts and the scars and the stitches and, you know, all that stuff metal things in there, you know, when the rapture takes place well I'm going to tell you there's going to be a lot of interesting things in the ground and. We can Can you imagine that.
Okay. And I remember some years ago, going with my wife we took him a ride on this, this ride down there at Cedar Point I, I don't know what they call it but it was like a roller coaster. And when you get down to the bottom and takes a hard right turn, you know, it's like real fast. But I looked, and down at the bottom there that area.
They had all kinds of sunglasses, and they had teeth, you can see all of the things you had to get a special permit to go in there and pick up your stuff that you lost on that turn. And that was something we're gonna we're gonna stop here now and change direction because we need to go to prayer, Karen and Ohio pledges 50 Thank you, Karen. The news yo in New York pledges 10 Thank you Denise yo. So, let's go ahead. Pastor Joe would you lead off with the prayer and.
Well, let me say no, we have. Let's do Jake Jake is our special guest tonight with us.

You have for 50 years plus watched over this ministry we have thank you we have praised you we have glorified you we have tried to teach your word we all of those who have been a part of the ministry throughout all those years. Pastor Ernie has been your most faithful servant, and all that time.
I can take a no one that I know that has spent so much time being a watchman on the wall teaching preaching and serving you. And you have seen this ministry through many trials tribulations threats tax. And now, the ministry is at a point where the problem is simply the lack of manner. There are bills that have to be paid money that has to be raised and Lord we those in the ministry when I use the word we all the people that have served in the office on the radio behind the scenes everywhere that have worked to glorify you. We desperately need your help, we need you to come to the rescue and find a way to make it make it possible for these bills to all get paid. And Lord you know the amount that's needed we don't have to say it out loud you know all things you know what the problem is. And you've told us to bring everything to you in prayer. So Lord just if it be thy will Father that we need your help more than ever before in the ministry, and the economic situation this country has been very bad it's been very harmful for the ministry. Many of our wonderful listeners and supporters died through COVID.
Many others have gotten old and gone home to be with you. And a lot of the funds that we used that used to come in aren't. But Lord you already know that. So Lord we need you to provide a path to prosperity to get the ministry back on its feet and out of debt. And so Lord I just would ask that all the listeners out there hearing would you know be in prayer for the ministry. The need is great, time is immediate and that you would cover Pastor Ernie and bless him in every way conceivable Lord during this time. And I hope that we can help see him through all of this.
And Lord we love you and we just put it into your wonderful capable hands in Jesus precious name we pray. Amen. Amen.

I forgot to mention the beginning. We have those for those that donate for donation of $25 from where we've got part number three part number three of 50 years on the radio of battles I mean spiritual battles physical battles. The situations this ministry has been in in the death upon death row. We have, you know, we've gone against hardcore Satanists folks and I mean, we've had a lot of experience in 50 years, corrupt judges we've exposed corrupt judges and spoke right in their own courtrooms.
Corrupt police officers who were taking money from the abortion mills. We never backed down we need whenever we always gave the opposition better than we got we took on the ACLU, when they went after people. We started here, the homeschooling with this rate my radio ministry here in Ohio, we were, we were the ones that pioneered the homeschooling movement here in Ohio, and so, folks we never did back down we always we believed every word of the Word of God. We stand upon the Word of God. We're completely sold out to the Lord Jesus and so we're going to go ahead and well, I'm going to bypass that song would you what you fellas like to pray letter would you like to pray.
Go ahead. Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for the grace and the mercy you continue to bestow upon a people that have gone astray. And we know God that we cannot do anything, unless it's through you.
And through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We pray that for this radio ministry God because we know that you use all tools from your people that we're to use these things to bring glory to you, and to bring glory to your your name, and all that we do so that we can help take the Dominion covenant and promote the gospel throughout the world. God help continue to give us the strength, the energy that we need and also God the finances that we need to continue moving in our inner in the direction they would have you would have us to move. And God we know that we can't convince people we know it's all that you work in the people's heart. We pray that you work in those hearts, you do the people that are out there that you've chosen to work with us, identify those people, bring them to us so they can also be a part of this magnificent movement. Again, as we think about all the things that are going around us.
We need to have your voice in our society. Without Christianity, we will never flourish. And it's because of what you've done on the cross. All of us have this chance, especially being believers to once again come to you pray for our needs.
And as you succeed all the time. You know exactly what we need, but we are commanded also to pray, not because there's some wish list but because we know that you also grant everything that you say what we would ask for. We may not understand how you deliver things to us, but we also continue to trust in you, not trusting in ourselves. And again, we come to you with all of our, our needs, and to be aware, all the time, God, no matter what happens that we will always continue our focus on you. Continue to pray for our brother, Sanders, and all the work that he continues to do. We're so thankful God that you have used him in a mighty way, ways that most people cannot even imagine. We look at the things that we've also been accomplishing in our lives, it's all because of your mercy. Again, we continue to pray that we continue to have this mercy on us and give us the vision that we need to continue this good fight.
We know that this fight is not over until you say it's over God until then we will go ahead and continue to glorify you and all that we do. Again, for those that are out there, we pray that your hearts are ticked by what we see and what we hear and understand that we are out there for the soul of glory of our Lord and Savior. And if you have it in your heart and in your minds at this time, please continue to think about a contribution. And more importantly, God, not just now, but continue throughout this whole evening that we have together. And more importantly, that when we finish this evening that you also work in your hearts to continue to have them think about us. It's in Jesus I pray these things. Amen.
Amen. Thank you very, very much. All right, those numbers are 888-281-1110. That's the credit card line again that's 888-281-1110.
The other line is 888-677-9673, 888-677-9673. Brian, would you like to pray? Dear Lord, we thank you for this opportunity to invite those that hear this word to have them contribute to the mighty work that Pastor Sanders has done over the 50 years that he's been continuing to preach the gospel.
And we know that without you, that we really are nothing. But we appreciate the opportunity to continue as we reach out into the gospel and understand, try to better understand what the word is telling us. We can say, and we have been speaking this for many months now, love thy neighbor is a commandment.
It is not a suggestion. Please help this ministry to continue to love thy neighbor as it has been doing for 50 years. Thank you. Father, I just want to say, Lord, again, thank you for people, for the brothers and sisters out there that hold us up in prayer. We know how important prayer is, Lord. I know that all these years that we have all the folks that will send in their prayer requests.
I mean, all the letters, hundreds and hundreds, and we sit down and we take them one by one and we believe in prayer. We know there's power in prayer. We know in your word you tell us much prayer, much power. We know the prayers are kept, too, Father God. And so, Lord, and right now we need prayer. And the one good thing about this is, you know, Lord, we can pray about everything. You've let us know that we don't have need of anything, Father God, as long as we continue to pray.
So, Heavenly Father, Lord God, we're asking again tonight that the people out there listening all across the land would pray with us, too. We need this ministry again in all these years and has never, ever compromised. In all those years, we've never compromised. We've always run to the battle, Lord. And again, we've stood our ground because we've, as Scripture says, we've ran a good race. We've fought a good fight. And we truly believe we can honestly say that we never held back anything. We always give it the very best that we had to give. And so, Lord God, again, I thank you, Lord, for choosing us and for raising us up and all the men that are even here with us tonight as they're here in this battle to bring America back to one nation under God, the way you gave it to us, Father God.
And so, with these things, we thank you and praise you in Jesus' name. All right, now we're going to switch over. Let me get those numbers out again. 888-677-9673 or 888-281-1110, folks. The lines are open, so give us a call. We lost Jake.
And so, Brian, it's time for you and Leonard to tell us, what are you doing here? You guys are out to stop these unrighteous, these unlawful property taxes, which are taking the property away from a lot of elderly people that have worked their lives, paid off their mortgages. And now, and property taxes are not lawful.
They're not lawful, right? Well, what we have been saying, Pastor Sanders, is that any tax causing a citizen to become homeless is immoral. And as we go through the state of Ohio talking to people about property taxes and why they are immoral, why we've got to find some other way of funding these taxing authorities, it is amazing to us that as a society, what we see is an uneducated society. I don't know how long that has taken us to get to this point, but many people, believe it or not, they do not correlate when they go to the ballot box to vote on tax levies. They do not realize that they'll be increasing their property taxes. And many of them say, well, we have to continue voting for these property tax levies so that it keeps our property values high.
The logic that we see from many of the average citizens is really surprising to us. Don't have an answer, but we recognize this is a, and Leonard and I and many others throughout the state, we are committed to getting property taxes eliminated. We have started a citizens led initiative, a petition to tell the, to get it on the ballot so that our fellow citizens can vote to eliminate property taxes. And once, and this is going to be a constitutional amendment and the legislators will then have to basically restructure the entire taxing system that we have in the state of Ohio.
It is not sustainable. You know, there are people out there, Ryan and Leonard, that think, well, if you pay all these taxes that the government tells you to pay, it makes you a more patriotic and a better citizen. But when you're paying taxes that are not fair, it just kind of makes you a dumber citizen, doesn't it?
I mean, you're aiding and abetting the criminal activity. It's not a taxing problem that we have in the state. They, we can generate enough revenue in the state to pay for just almost anything. But whether it is a property tax, a sales tax or an income tax, the problem is a spending problem. There are no checks and balances in our system that will allow us to control the spending of schools, the county governments, crime labs. In Lake County, we have 54, I believe 54 different taxing districts, and 40% of the people do not even see their tax bills, so they don't know what they're paying for. And not only that, but you have these bureaucrats out there, the mindset, like Nahuatl, people that are bloodsuckers and know how to get in and just, you know, suck the lifeblood out of people. And at the end of the year, people like you're talking about transportation or education, if there's a surplus, if they have extra money, instead of saying, well, look, we have a surplus. So we need to cut the amount that we need.
Let's lower taxes on the people. Never happened. They don't do that. They say, no, we got to waste this. We got to spend this because if we don't spend it and get rid of it, then they're going to cut the amount that we can keep taxing people.
That's the USAID, right? Yes. Well, the current legislators, they're working on changes to the budget commission where they're going to prohibit these taxing authorities from having, I believe it is probably up to 30% now. If they have more than 30% in cash reserves for their annual operating expenses, the legislators are going to give the budget commission, the county budget commission, the authority to lower taxes.
But the problem is what will happen, though, in in real life, the taxing authorities will spend down if they know that they have, for example, 50% in reserves, they'll find some way to spend it. Oh, yes. There's no question about it. There's there's really never a thought. And I can say this from Lake County. I've been doing this for more than seven years.
There's no like taking trips to Europe that had to do with the important, important educational things to find out how they can run the government back here better by taking these nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, we pulled back to Curtin and we're going to continue pulling back to Curtin. We've called it. In fact, I was talking to commissioners today.
We're forming a Loge, Lake County Office of Government Efficiency. Yeah. And we are we are going to call it out. We're going to hang out.
It might hear it. Read net rate. All right. Tom in Massachusetts pledges 20. Thank you, Joe. Deborah. No, Dorothea. Dorothea in Massachusetts pledges 3000.
Massachusetts. Thank you, Dorothea. But we could use that.
Yeah, definitely. And Mary in Ohio pledges 300. Thank you, Mary. OK. All right. Very, very good. Thank you. Thank you. We really needed this tonight.
Yes. God is answering our prayer. And so and that's what you guys are doing. You're getting petitions signed. Tell us how this process works, because a lot of us, you know, aren't you know, we we know we have to go to Columbus. We have to get approved by the attorney general, the secretary of state. What's interesting is that there's really no one in the government, be it a state, local government that is ready to help citizens. We also try to reach out to for lawyers, you know, to throw out. And we weren't looking for promoting. We said, well, we'll pay. We can't even find lawyers that are willing to step up to help us. Oh, they're afraid of the system.
You don't do. Yeah. When it comes to again, this is why we need courage. This is why this is what we've done here in this radio program.
Definitely. We've exposed this kind of stuff. You're standing on the front lines. You're standing on the front lines, unafraid. And I agree completely. We've had people not sign our petition.
And the reason that they don't want to sign is they're afraid for government retaliation. Yeah. That's what you're dealing with. You know, I'm more afraid of not being obedient to God, you know. Amen to that, brother. You've got to think about this, folks.
I want you to think about this. You have all these people that are always criticizing Christians like this. Jesus was arrested. What did Jesus do? Well, he overthrew the taxpayers.
Money changes, right? If we're preaching the gospel and doing the gospel, the apostle Paul was arrested in jail. Peter was arrested in jail. All those people, there are a very small percentage of pastors. I'm one of them that have been arrested and jailed many times. We're simply preaching the gospel, right? And why is it?
Because like Peter said, we must obey God rather than man. So what we're doing here tonight, when you have elderly people that have worked their whole life, they've paid off their mortgage and they say, well, at least the house is mine. Here I am. I'm on limited income. At least I don't have to worry about losing my home and being in the streets. But here they come and say, oh, no, we're raising your property tax again. You don't pay that property tax and then you're on the street. In the state of Ohio, they have the audacity to raise the property taxes without a vote of the people because of what, you know, for schools, because of what they call the 20 mil floor.
That's exactly what angers me so much. And we're merely, Leonard and I say, we're merely renters from the government. We're trying to get that message across to people that you really don't own your home when you have to pay.
And there's some people that in this last revaluation, which was easily 30% revaluation of their property values, some people went from $5,000 a year to over $10,000 a year in taxes, depending on where they live. And the dirty little secret is that, and I learned this from a state legislator, the dirty little secret was the taxing authorities did not have to take this increase. But it's a money grab when they'll never give money back to the taxpayers.
I know that. And that's not right. And this is where, you know, you folks have to listen. You're not a better citizen by paying unlawful and unfair taxes.
You're a dumber citizen because you actually are required. God expects you to stand up for righteousness, to stand up against this, you know. And here, Brian, you fellas, Leonard and Berkeley, here where the Bible says that judgment begins in the house of God and it begins in that pulpit. And there in that pulpit is where our Lord has been more dishonored and more betrayed than any place else in the country. The pastors are the ones that are supposed to be as bold as lions. They're supposed to lead this.
They're supposed to, like they did in the founding of this country, the founding fathers that understood the word of God, and they understood that freedom wasn't free. They answered the call and the pastors have failed the Lord. Pastor Sanders, Leonard and I, I don't know how many churches that we have attended. We wanted to be able to get the message out to the people, just educate people about the property taxes. The pastors don't want to have any part of that.
None. We're not talking about going on Sunday morning. We're saying, well, can't we, you know, on a Wednesday night or can't you bring people in? And we want to just educate them about property taxes because that is severely needed in the state of Ohio.
It had nothing to do with it. Believe me, you guys don't have to come to my church. They all know about this. I mean, those folks are doers of the word and they're out there in the battle.
But yeah, that's critical. And see, you know, people got to get to the point where they really, really, really for real believe the word of God. You know, the Bible tells you that faith without works is dead being alone and works are a sign of your faith. Scripture says that be a doer of the word, not a hearer, deceiving your own selves. You see, you've got all these comfort zone Christians that are going in. Many of them are attending social, you know, country clubs instead of churches.
These mega country clubs and they just don't get it. That's what it says. Be you a doer of the word. I've actually heard him say it's good to go to the real large mega churches because you kind of hide in there. Oh, you never get called upon to do anything. You just go and people say, well, you know, God's pleased with me today.
I, I went and I heard a sermon. No, he's not pleased with you until you take what you've heard and put it to practical application. And, you know, just like if you work in an office, right. Go there to the office and sit there at your desk all day and say, my boss must be proud of me because I'm here.
No, you better perform or your boss is not going to be happy with you. Right. Yeah.
All right. Janice in Minnesota pledges 30. Thank you, Janice. Pastor Sanders, I can tell you, my life changed as I went to church. Oh, I was Roman Catholic. You know, went to the mass all the time, but I never read the Bible. When I read the Bible and I started to understand the revealed word of God, I wasn't just sitting in the pews listening to somebody tell me something. If they said something that did not resonate with me, I said, no, that is not correct.
The message of Sodom and Gomorrah is not that they showed a lack of hospitality. Yeah. Come on. That's what he said. And I said to my wife, I said, that's not right. That's not right. But that's what they were saying. So unless you're reading this, the revealed word of God, you're just sitting in a pew listening to somebody from the pulpit. You don't know if they're telling the truth or not.
Absolutely. This is what I've been preaching out for over 50 years, folks. And I tell them in my church, when I'm in that pulpit, don't take my word for it. You follow along, and that's what they do. You've been there. They follow along and check in, because I can make a mistake, right?
If I do, let me know. But not while I'm preaching them. Yeah, I hear you. That's a sad commentary. But even off of the text that you read coming from Matthew, that same spirit is alive today that was on those chiefs, priests, and scribes. They did not want the people to be free. The Bible says that they were sore displeased when the blind and those that were lame, when they came and Jesus healed them. And these people, it's like wolves in sheep clothing. They do not want the people to be free. So when you're saying that, hey, I'm going to these churches and I'm trying to let the pastors know that, hey, this is a way that your people can be free, they don't want that. They don't want their control messed with.
So if it doesn't benefit them, then nuh-uh. Most of these pastors are not biblically literate enough to understand what the Bible teaches Jesus. They go out and do all that I have commanded you to do. A lot of them don't. If you ask them, I don't know how many years I've been preaching them, the five points that when God gave us the institution of divine human government during the Noahic Covenant, he gave us those five points. And the vast majority of pastors don't even know that. And somehow they think that the most misused, twisted, spun passage of scripture is Romans 13.
I knew you were going there. Yeah, I did a number of videos on Romans 13 some years ago. I taught biblical law for years and they just don't understand. Because Romans 13, now first of all, you've got to go to the Bible. You can't use one of the over 200 perversions of the Bible. You've got to get a King James Bible, which is far superior in every way to all of these perversions. And then Romans 13 means exactly what it says.
And so this is why you had to get all these other perversions because that's not what these apostates and what these people, these false teachers want you to hear. It's an amazing thing. All right, we have, let's see, nope, somebody's coming up, I think, here in a minute. It looks like we're getting another pledge in, but we're coming up to a break. So now you guys are out, you're going to be at the Tea Party. Okay, hey, I got to announce that Jug County Right Time Chili and Cocoa Fundraiser. That's going to be Saturday, April 26 at 12 to 6pm at the Metzenbaum Center at 8200 Cedar Road in Chesterland. I'm going to be, this is my last, I'm going to compete again.
This is the last time, you know, I've won 14 Northeast Ohio Chili Cocoa. I'll be there to check it out. Well, we're going to have to check that out. So, yeah, we often say it's, the question is not where's the beef is, where's the bowl?
And the bragging rights of that kitchen is amazing. Well, we have Edna in Massachusetts just pledged $1,000. Thank you, Edna. Wow. And so, anyhow, that's going to be coming up. You guys will be there.
You'll have your petitions to sign to get people to sign. We got to see this thing through. It's the right thing to do.
It's the right thing to do. Folks, no place in the Beatitudes does it say blessed are the stupid. That's what you get on what they call the legacy news, right?
That's what they're being taught out there today. You have to stand for righteousness, and this is time for righteous indignation. Amen? Yes, sir. Amen.
And so. I do have a question, though, Pastor Tanner. You mentioned before about the body and being a temple. I'm not sure how I came to that realization early on in life, but I did.
I've always believed my body is a temple not to be abused. How do we get that message across to our younger generations? Because if we could get that message across, I think many of the drug addictions and all of the other issues that are really a problem in our society, that I think that could solve a lot of problems if we could get that message across to them. We're coming up to a break, and after this break, let's tackle that question. So be right back after this with a whole lot more. 888-677-9673. We'll be right back. Come on!
