Summary
In this episode, Pastor Ken teaches us that we should not be led astray by strange doctrines, which are things that God never said in the Old Covenant. In fact, there were no such things as strange doctrines in the first place. God never spoke of them. He never gave us them. And yet, we have them in our lives today.

Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.880
cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:18.540
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:44.980
but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:53.680
by not just diverse doctrines things that god actually said under the old covenant that are
00:00:59.340
now fulfilled but by strange doctrines aka things god never said things god never said
00:01:06.840
and what does he use as his case study as his example it is good for the heart to be strengthened
00:01:14.600
by grace and not by foods which have not benefited those devoted to them again just
00:01:22.980
like verse 8. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It's not random. This too is not
00:01:29.160
random. What we're meant to assume as we seek to interpret the meaning of this text is that in
00:01:34.700
their context within Judaism predominantly, perhaps there were also some Gentile pagan religions that
00:01:41.400
had the same principle or concept, but likely within Judaism, the diverse doctrines, the old
00:01:47.500
covenant ceremonial stipulations, don't be distracted by those and certainly don't be
00:01:52.460
distracted by the strange doctrines that some of these current priests and religious rulers with
00:01:59.600
esteem within Judaism are adding that God never said in the first place. In other words, what's
00:02:06.320
probably was going on in that context in Israel at the time with these Hebrew Christians, they would
00:02:12.480
have been subject to this, is that certain rabbis, certain priests, certain scribes were insisting
00:02:20.780
that by eating certain meats, sacrificed, not to false gods, but sacrificed in the temple
00:02:28.640
under Judaism, that if you ate this sacrifice, it would give you this form of strength.
00:02:37.440
If you ate that sacrifice, that whole burnt offering that was sacrificed with this ritual
00:02:42.700
at this time by this priest, if you ate the meat of that sacrifice, it had these kinds of
00:02:48.000
properties benefits that would that would be a grace to you that would strengthen you uh that
00:02:55.900
would uh produce for you some kind of advantage and i think what the apostle is getting at and
00:03:02.400
saying strange doctrines is saying this not only is this something that god has fulfilled in christ
00:03:09.260
and therefore you don't need to be distracted by anymore this is something that there was never
00:03:14.140
even a thing. God never even said that you're going to be strengthened by certain foods in a
00:03:19.940
in a mystical way and in some kind of religious sentiment that there's certain properties of this
00:03:27.940
goat that was sacrificed on this day by this priest in this place that if I eat you know this
00:03:32.940
portion of the animal then then I'm going to have this benefit and this advantage. That's not a
00:03:38.900
thing that was never a thing not only are there certain ceremonial rights and laws and codes that
00:03:46.940
you no longer need to adhere to because christ has finished this christ has fulfilled this but
00:03:52.360
these are things that were never ceremonial rights or codes these are things that god never spoke
00:03:57.700
that god never presented these are just the doctrines of men this is where a certain religious
00:04:04.920
rulers have gone too far. Can I be frank with you for just a second, right here at the end?
00:04:10.500
Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry. And from the bottom
00:04:14.680
of my heart, I say, thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you, you just,
00:04:21.480
you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest. I mean,
00:04:27.840
we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political elites
0.98
00:04:35.960
lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we simply
00:04:43.460
cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are living in
00:04:50.020
a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the
00:04:56.900
grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you,
00:05:03.540
but you could still help us tremendously. I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so,
00:05:10.620
