---”Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of
disobedience” (Eph. 5:6 ---When are words “empty”? Hello, how are
you? Fine. And your children? Fine. And your wife? Fine. ---What is fine? Empty boxes. Correct? ---When do someone deceive you? ---I will give you an example: with a
“Nigerian Scam”. ---In 2000 Nigerian Scams were copied in
other countries like the Congo and other African countries. ---They send a pretention letter to people
saying that they are the son of a recently president who was removed from his
office and now he has millions of dollars to move but you need to help and they
will give you 50 million dollars. ---How? Just send or bring to a bank in
the Congo $100 000 and they will give in your account 50 million dollars. ---And people believe it and send the
money and never see the money again. ---Why? It is a typical deceive
transactions and it is called a scam. ---If you do not know what is a scam, look
on the internet for scams. ---Update yourself about this evil tool
used by evil people to steal money. ---And they did. They made many people
bankrupt. ---One of Luther’s helpers was Johannes
Brenz. He wrote many commentaries and also one on Daniel. ---But he is known for his role of church
and sanctified life discipline. ---So he wrote about the problem of their
day in 1531 the following: The
way of life among the people is so dissolute and undisciplined that a person
who one night gets himself so full of wine that he has to be carried home, comes
the very next morning, alleging that he will never do it again as long as he
lives, and demands the sacrament. If one withholds the sacrament from him for
a week or so he complains before God and man that he is being denied the
sacrament. If one gives him the sacrament
he goes out that very night and gets just as drunk as he was the night before,
but returns once more, promising never to do it again, until finally he is once
again given the sacrament. So he lives perpetually in his intemperance . . .
perpetually demanding grace and forgiveness without sincerity ---This is an example of empty words. He
deceives himself that he promises not to do it again but do. ---Paul is asking us to solve this
problem. Brenz wanted to excommunicated people from the church when they do
this. And then to accept them again if they stopped. That was his suggestion in
1531. ---There is the case of deception where
Eusebius, the historian of Constantine the Great wrote about what he could find
in research on Papias who lived in 110 AD. ---Papias, said Eusebius knew the apostles
and lived with them. ---But, said Eusebius, Papias deceived
himself and others with empty words. ---Empty, because he did not properly
listen to what the apostles said. ---He was not very bright. Eusebius
concluded. He was a little stupid…. ---Stupid? Why? ---Eusebius said that Papias was stupid
because he taught people that the apostles are saying that the millennium would
be after the resurrection and Second Coming. ---He was secondly stupid because he
taught that the apostles are saying that the kingdom of Christ will be on this
earth eventually. Good morning Adventists! ---Stupid? Misunderstanding the apostles?
Who is misunderstanding? ---Eusebius is cited by the Spanish Jesuit
Benito Perera in his Daniel commentary which is online in Latin written in 1588
page 386. Latin
text of Eusebius cited by Benito Perera reads: Afferit Papias
regnum Christi post humana carnu a mortuiu resurrectionem, mille annos humano
et corporeo more in terris futurum. Qua quidem dogmata, credo ecum propterea
excepisse, quod Apostolicas interpretations, qua ab illu essent exposita sub
arcanu figure et obscure parabola, male intellexisset. Nam homo erat, sicut ex
Scriptu eius faicle licet consecturam capere, ingrena perquam tenuis. English
Translation of Eusebius text: Papias
brings forth the kingdom of Christ after the resurrection from the dead in
human flesh, which will be on earth for a thousand years in a human and
corporeal fashion. I believe that he took these dogmas with him for the reason
that he had misunderstood the Apostolic interpretations, which had been expounded
by him under a mysterious figure and an obscure parable. For he was a man, as
it is difficult to infer from his Scriptures, of extremely fine grain. ---Source
of Benito Perera and Eusebius https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_-pb8X1__CtMC ---Is your pastor not preaching the millennium?
Is he preaching the millennium but like Eusebius before the Second Coming? Good
morning. You need to move. When? Immediately. Papias was like an Adventist
preaching John in Revelation correctly. Get correct immediately.
