this roman catholic used to live next door to us back twenty five thirty years ago and we ended up going over to the catholic church with them for a gambling night and they gave us some money and was over there gambling or whatever they were doing they usually end up doing stupid stuff you say i wouldn't do anything like that but you do you wander off and you don't think it's so bad anymore and you end up with somebody that's a totally than being on your best friends and you never mention jesus to a measure never mention god to him and you wonder why you're so completely miserable if you think you can go back to where you used to be you can't you say but this is so hard it's a lot harder being a believer  going out there trying to live like the devil like you used to because god says i don't allow my children to do that when i have brought them to the knowledge of the truth you could do that do you found the truth that you can't do that anymore or your mind i mean it is like having to take the worst migraine you can think of multiplied about ten thousand times and have it for about thirty years and that's what it's like that's right but that's talking about unbelievers as talking about unbelievers and second peter the second chapter that's talking about these people who are as a full adultery that they cannot say shame san no it's not better for us never known the truth the thing is this better that you never wonder way from god because god will deal so they're only with his people in it's no fun that when he gets through it is a horrible terrible that's what hebrews the ten chapters about people have a question about this look at hebrews ten this is what god does to his people when you try to depart from the faith you can't i can get away from god i'll go back to where you used to be no you can't he said your mind you're not three blocks all the way home they would have gotten her for child abuse today she'd be not kid you run away from me dad says i'll come after you go to the insecure i'll come and get you would i be sure that it's your life you know get away from me i'm god you're min here in verse twenty three let us hold fast the profession of our faith let's not depart from it how fast his contect go it means hold down our faith don't depart from faith and let us consider one another to provoke oh let's hold fast  ace that's the word waver it means not leaning away from let's don't lead away from my faith for he is faithful that promise let's consider one another from socks prox this mosques this word means to incite to do good let's incite one another to walk in the mbling with men of like minded that believe in predestination the sovereignty of god death to seth david cross after now this is a this verse goes with all those verses like bound inside the light or the horizon like to be conformed soon i would s y e n synthesize means to blend with s y e n it means to blend with so we had to be blended blue did and share eat into christ likeness icon everybody else has got just as many problems as you did and everyone is trying to learn to be brothers and sisters we're brothers and sisters in christ we need a new we need to learn to forbear one another and put up with other each other's idiosyncrasies and  yesterdays and quit getting angry at one another for being different than you are without the fellowship the amount of shaping that you become like christ determines is dependent on how much fellowship you have with other believers if you stay separated from all the time you'll stay the way you'll stay undeveloped your state immature we're not supposed to be doing that now there was  shipping with truth believers that's filled with shipping with false teachers i keep telling people you're not supposed to be list going to church where these people believe in these false doctrines it will affect you the bible says so it's a military match in iraq everybody's exactly marching the way they're supposed to do if you're not doing that if a man does not walk according to the word of god the bible says we are to will draft if there luther said it's the devil's doctrine if a man will not if he does not walk according to the word of god would it withdraw from him stay away from me that have can you be assembling with him don't say well the bible says for s seventy herself to go so i'll go to the methodist church don't go to a methodist church they go out of their country club you're not supposed to go and listen to somebody say works for salvation that's what the methodist believe are the babis accept christ it communion every sunday in order to go to heaven when you died and you know that that's what they believe when you don't glue associate with that that's going to affect you and he says if  obey not a word by this official note that man and had no company with him have no company with a man that won't do well coding the word of god yet you're saying for said not the assembly yourselves together so go to  he's talking about believers here and modish him as a brother you don't associate with people who don't believe the truth you don't go to a church that don't teach truth good grief you can't just say i don't the fact communication means to have in common have some in common with other people and you see the word h o m h o m o means to be of the same so communication would come from the word common and it would be it has to do with being of the same fellowship this word communication means companionship if you don't have companionship with people that have would people have a christmas party said well it's not like this would bother i don't think it's really too bad if i run around with these people that are having this christmas party or maybe i'm just going to need something with them at work and they want to give me this present who's going to know the difference if you accept one christmas give christmas is christ mass it's paganism if you accept one gift it will take you years to overcome that they'll say he she don't mean what they say so he says evil communication corr hand and patted me on the back when it comes to church he says you have not read them i want that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you for i verily as absent in the body but present in spirit have judged already as though i were present concerning him that i had done this deed of sleeping with his stepmother in the name of our lord jesus christ when your gather together in my spirit with the power of a little jesus christ to deliver this man over to satan for the destruction of the hoody saying is quit fellowshipping with him that the spirit may be saved in the day of the lord jesus because the day if the lebanese the day that god came to deal with somebody then he says then he says down here in verse concerning the together means we're like minded believe yours that's why i tell people when they're living off in some city where they say i don't know what to do i'm just so depressed what am i going to do you have to get some  fellowship i encourage people colleagues people in your city get together have a bible group some say whoa i can move they say well you can move here yeah and they say yes now sometimes when i say move here some people think i'm going to move here and i'll take care of you know you have to have money we were not in the business of pulling everybody from around the country and paying your rent giving you a place to live by now you groceries for six months to you get your life going we don't have the money to do that to begin with and probably a he said he is i've heard that have you heard some bridges that he's not a cosmic policeman saying i'm going to get you yes he said i will get you he says that repeatedly your parent and you it's kind of like jonathon running from marry somebody that's a giant like that and you're this tall and you run from that don't make no sense you know it doesn't make any sense running from a god that's five hundred trillion feet high and you're a little bitty person about five foot six like me i don't care if you're six foot eight you're still a little grain of sand you can't run away from the wrath of god as a believer in his wrath he showers it down his people because i go back to live the way i used to know you cannot the bible says you can't well it was easier back then tough it's not let me explain this thoroughly concerning the law what did the police do well here's what they did here's what they did here's the temple or the tabernacle as solomon's porch come in here they would do all kinds of rituals a purify this inner sanctuary they would bring the labs every day to the psalter they'd have to be a lab without blemish and they would go through this ritual if it was on the day of passover they'd bring a lamb over here that run is they might be staying in here naming down in and touching this lamb and and they're touching a lamb that rubbing their hands to the wall saying i find no fault in hand and they pick the lamb or they it may be a day to a lamb every morning about six o'clock and every evening about six o'clock sundown sun a they would offer a lamb they would offer bread he touch that wine with his skirt that he's carrying the lamb and it defiles the lamb that's in the skirt if he touches something that's not nothing wrong with the wine nothing wrong with something out here but if he touches the wrong thing as he goes to the altar to put the lamb up only altar if he touches it defiles him the sacrifice his scar everything he's saying don't come in contact with anything that's unclean not that it's unclean it is self it's unclean for that day for that i'm jim
