Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Heretical "Churches" OK Sodomy & Gay Pride Parades
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Rainbow Gestapo, the good-stepping gay lobby, all of that stops right now.
Stare at the sun just for kicks all by myself.
I lose track of time, so I might be past my pride.
People say we need to, you know, make America great again.
I completely agree.
We may need to make Gallows great again.
Oh my, feels just like I don't shine.
I look so good I might die.
All I know is everybody loves me.
Turn down, sway into my ocean.
Flashes in my face now.
All I know is everybody loves me.
Literally so many people that need to have a millstone put around their neck and tossed into the sea.
Everybody, everybody, everybody.
Woo! .
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome.
This is the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell, and we have a great show for you.
We're going to talk a little bit about Heretical Church.
It's really nothing new, but there's more updates to bring you.
So first, though, we start with the Book of Romans.
In the book of Romans chapter 1, as we've talked about on this program a few times before now, the Apostle Paul writes, And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not be done.
They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice.
We'll talk about covetousness more in this program.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.
They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1 verses 28 through 32.
Now, There are probably countless examples of this behavior, popping into your mind, I know it did mine, that are rampant in our society today.
Gossips, slanderers, haters of God.
What a miserable way to be.
To hate God.
Think about that.
To hate the gracious and holy Creator.
What about insolent, haughty, boastful?
Certainly our society is filled with pursuing vanity at all costs.
Social media is certainly a problem there for sure.
It's something that we all need to guard ourselves against.
Next up, we have inventors of evil.
That one is incredible to me.
What a phrase.
Inventors of evil.
We have people who we're going to see here in just a moment who are inventors of evil sitting around thinking of new and different ways of being perverse and rebelling against God.
Next up in the chapter, it reads, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
So, incredible stuff from Romans.
Go read Romans 1.
I would encourage all of you to do that, especially during this month of June.
But earlier in that chapter of Romans 1, it reads, For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature.
And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed, consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
That's Romans 1, 26 and 27.
So, Here's my question.
The reason I backtracked in the chapter a little bit to read that is, what does it look like?
What does it look like for God to give someone up to dishonorable passions?
Well, I have a contender for what that may look like.
Watch.
Trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant, ovaries and eggs included, and I want to be the first trans woman to have an abortion.
I will let a doctor who has successfully transplanted a uterine complex before cut the organs out of a willing, healthy, transmasculine donor, place them in my body.
I will devote myself, heart and soul, to their aftercare.
I will have as much gay sex as it takes with as many trans women as it takes.
And let the transphobes and homophobes scratch their heads wondering what to make of it.
And I want to be the first trans woman to have an abortion.
So when you watch that clip, does the phrase inventors of evil come to mind?
It certainly comes to my mind.
Now, if this isn't God abandoning someone to their own sin and the ever-increasing wickedness that it all leads to, then I don't know what is.
I mean, this man wants to mutilate his body through some Frankenstein-like procedure, which would result, and I don't know if it's possible, with him having a uterus so that he can then get pregnant and murder the baby.
This surely is God giving someone over to a debased mind.
And actually, it's really easy just to pile on, yes, we need to call out this orc for what he is.
But it's humbling when you stop and think how God's grace in calling us to repentance and faith is.
It restrains us from going down that exact same path as that deranged and lost soul that we should pray for, by the way, as I mentioned on our Monday broadcast.
And while all of this degeneracy is going on, while we all persevere during this month of pride as Christians, there are heretical churches with false shepherds who are fanning the flames of hell and telling their congregations that sodomy is good, sound, and biblical.
And some clergy have even gone so far as that they're telling their people that, in fact, there are no flames in hell to fan because hell isn't real.
And for that, we go to the screen.
And I throw up this tweet on the screen.
Again, this is from Protestia, great follow on X. This is in Pastor Caleb J. Lines.
It says that it's not okay to believe in hell, telling his congregation not to believe in hell.
But then, of course, the reason that he gives is particularly stupid, and you're not even going to believe it.
But this is, again, talk about a debased mind.
They can't even make arguments.
They can't even make proper arguments, these people.
Anyway, watch this pastor talk about...
How it's not okay to believe in hell.
And this is all relevant to our conversation.
Because I don't tell anyone they're going to hell.
Isn't it okay for me to believe in that?
No!
All right, so if you missed that beginning part, as long as I don't tell anyone they're going to hell, isn't it still okay for me to believe that?
So he's telling, if we have anybody out there in this congregation that's a closet hell believer and believes that hell is a real place where real people go, well, I'm going to have to...
See, this really goes right in line with the whole totalitarianism and the thought of the left in and of itself, right?
It was, we just want to get married.
No, now we want you to approve of it.
And we can't even tolerate the idea that maybe you think in your head that gay marriage is wrong or that sodomy is wrong or that you may believe the Bible and maybe you just privately disagree.
No, see, this pastor is going after...
We may have some people in this congregation that believe hell's a real place where real people go, and I'm going to put an end to that right now.
Of course, this argument makes no sense because it's apparently about assault weapons.
I don't tell anyone they're going to hell.
Isn't it okay for me to believe in that?
No.
Here's why.
Because it leads to morally questionable theology and behavior.
Let me give you an example.
Let's say...
It leads to morally questionable theology and behavior, which the line between heaven and hell, or the distinctions between heaven and hell, have to do with the actual, real, not the fake morality, but actual morality, objective morality that comes from God that we can read about in the Scripture as it reveals the character of God, and that's how we know, right?
Like...
His only begotten son died to save sinners.
That establishes a pretty stark moral line, if you will.
And at the end, you are either a sheep or you are a goat.
Are the goats going to some green pasture?
No, that's not what scripture says.
That someone walks into a school and pulls out an assault rifle and shoots 17 people.
Well, if you believe in the devil, you might well say, this is the devil at work.
You mean the guy that tempted Jesus in the wilderness?
You mean that devil, Satan, who Christ says he saw fall from heaven like lightning?
...in the world.
And there's not much that we can do about that.
God is going to take care of this someday.
We don't have to worry about it.
You see, it shifts the responsibility from us to God.
Who would want to do that?
Who would want to let God, who created everything, who upholds everything by the power of his work, who in their right mind would want to let God sort it all out at the end?
This is so inverted.
It is so perverse.
But, again, this is a person with a debased mind.
This is somebody who wants gun control.
He's using this as an example of, oh, well, you just can't say that, hey, because you believe in the devil, so now you don't have it.
And by the way, nobody is saying that.
Matter of fact, in Christian nationalism circles, they're not wanting to ban guns, though.
But they are wanting Christians to have an active political presence in public life.
Individual Christians and politically organized.
They are wanting that to happen.
Suddenly, sending out thoughts and prayers is a perfectly valid response.
That's all we need to do is send out our thoughts and prayers.
It doesn't make us ask the really hard questions like, why is it almost exclusively white men committing these mass shootings?
Or, do average citizens really need to own assault rifles?
The answer to that is no.
Or, why do we allow legislators to remain in office who openly worship their true God, the NRA? This is what's so crazy.
It's absolutely nuts.
Again, that is...
And Pastor Caleb J. Lines lying to his congregation, it's not okay to believe in hell, but his reasons are particularly dumb.
So he's saying that...
He's saying that we can't rely on God, and if we say to ourselves, and really there's a personal vengeance component here that he's talking about, right?
He's saying, well, if you believe in hell, and then somebody does something bad, and then it's like, oh, well, that person, you know, God's in control, and God is judging that person, because presumably the shooter, in many of these cases, the shooters don't survive, right?
They end up killing themselves, or...
Their whole little revenge scheme changes when bullets start to go back in their direction.
Then all of a sudden, they end up dying.
He's saying, we can't believe in hell.
And this is relevant to our conversation because if there is no hell, and you're not accountable to God, you're not accountable to God for your sins when you die and you face your Creator, then when the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong, when it says it's an abomination, well, it doesn't really matter because you're not really going to suffer for being a rebel against God.
Which brings me to the next impastor, if you will.
This is from a woke Presbyterian denomination, Westminster Presbyterian Church, impastor explaining the biblical justification for LGBTQ plus pride parades.
And he twists the words of Paul to do it.
Now, we just read you the words of Paul in Romans 1, talking about those that would exchange the truth of God for a lie, talking about those that exchange the natural relations between male and female for male and male, and that it was abomination, and that God gave them over to a debased mind.
That God gave them over to their sins.
And we just saw a perfect example of where that leads to because you've got a guy that wants a uterus transplant so that then he can have what he says is, quote, gay sex, get pregnant, and then he wants to be the first trans woman who's had a uterus transplant that can have an abortion.
That's what he just said.
And heretical churches are okaying it and using scripture to do so.
Here is this impastor.
Let's take a watch.
Our text opens with Paul stating, we do not proclaim ourselves.
We proclaim Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants.
For it is the God who said, let light shine out of darkness.
Keep that in mind.
Okay, that's the part of the text he's going to twist here in a moment.
Let light shine out of darkness.
And if you're thinking he's going to say that the LGBTQ pride parades are Christians shining light in darkness, well, I just spoiled it for you.
...has shown in our hearts, and that this light, this treasure Paul describes...
It's the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
And that this Christ resides within those who follow his way.
And we are but clay jars.
Has the feminine depiction of Jesus by some of these people, has that led to them, O Cain?
This niceness that's not really there.
We talked about this yesterday with Ross McKnight as we were going through scripture.
We have this false idea of what nice is.
And we worship.
We've made this idol out of being nice.
You'll hear people talk about the Tome Police, but if you actually go read the Gospels and you read how Jesus was engaging with the culture, engaging with the political figures of the day, or the religious slash political figures of the day, And straight-up political figures.
He was not what we would consider to be nice today, right?
He was combative.
He was confrontational.
He was essentially humiliated the Pharisees over and over and over again, which is why in so many portions of all of the Gospels, after he does Miracle X and then rebukes the Pharisees, They plot to kill him.
They said from that moment on, they plotted on how they could kill him.
And it happens, this process repeats until it culminates with the crucifixion, with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
Okay, let's, anyway, keep in mind, okay, so the light of the world, where it's supposed to be the light shines in darkness.
Here, the twist is coming.
Carrying a treasure.
Fragile, ordinary treasure.
Yet there is treasure within, and like all treasure, it is meant to be shared with others.
This love of God we have received, we are to share it, to reflect it to all those we encounter.
Our LGBTQ plus equity team has been planning for this day for quite some time.
So I'm assuming, because all of these clips came at once, and this was posted over at Protestia on June the 4th, so I'm assuming this was June the 2nd, right?
June 1st was the beginning of Pride Month.
June 2nd, all of these woke, heretical, sodomite churches...
Essentially, they've got their LGBTQ plus committees getting a pride parade ready for after their Sunday, I don't know what you would call it.
I wouldn't call it a church gathering or a worship service.
These, quote, churches are really just gay pride motivational conventions every week.
At this moment, they and other members are putting the final touches on a float to represent Westminster Presbyterian Church in today's Pride Parade.
They will be decked out in their Westminster Pride shirts, have created Westminster gifts to pass out to Pride Jovers, emphasizing that all are welcome into this community.
In many ways, they will be sharing the light of Christ with those along the parade.
And for our members who are sharing the light of Christ by creating a gay pride float to be marched in a gay pride parade, why wouldn't you?
I mean, you got this other pastor telling people, hey, hell's not real.
Nobody goes to hell.
...paying attention.
They will recognize that Christ's light has been shining upon the parade-goers all along.
We will be shining Christ's light for sure.
Yet we will also be reflecting more light that passes through the parade-goers.
This is another example of a debased mind.
Because you and I both know, those of you out there We know that this is wrong, and yet so-called churches...
Are saying that this is the light of Christ, that okaying sodomy, okaying the pride parades is the light of Christ.
Millstone.
It would be better for a millstone to be tied around this man's neck and thrown into the sea than to cause little children to stumble.
And I don't know how many congregations or how many members are in that congregation.
I would hope that the congregation is totally empty just to spare young children from being led down a path to hell.
But I don't know about this particular church who has a terrible name.
Westminster.
That was Reverend Dr.
Todd E. Leach.
Yeah, I mean, the people that...
The original people that wrote the Westminster Confession would literally...
Roll in their graves, if they knew.
Let's see here.
What do we have next?
Oh, yes.
Okay, so that brings me to the next part.
Can you be a gay Christian?
Can you be a gay Christian?
Well, some people say yes.
Here's somebody named Mason Meninga.
Who's a liberation theology in the streets, process theology in the sheets podcast host, posting this.
Did you know that there have been LGBTQ Christians since the beginning of Christian history?
Check out my new YouTube video.
So, what does this guy have to say?
He's pretty misguided.
Well, take a listen.
LGBTQ Christians have existed since the beginning of Christian history.
This might come as a surprise to you since many Christians claim that LGBTQ relationships...
That's not to say that there's never been a Christian who was a homosexual but repented of it and became a Christian and left that lifestyle behind.
No, no, no.
I'm not saying that.
The phrase I'm talking about is, I'm a gay Christian.
The phrase gay Christian.
That's the phrase.
Are a modern invention.
But LGBTQ people have existed since the beginning of history.
I mean, that doesn't seem like a very long...
That's a pretty modern photo there, Mason.
And that means that LGBTQ Christians have existed since the beginning of Christian history.
Early Christian martyrs Sergius and Bacchus are perhaps two of the first gay...
I'm surprised he was even transparent about how this is not even a fact.
It's just his theory.
He...
They were perhaps two of the first gay Christians whose story needs to be shared because Sergius and Bacchus walked so that Bob and Larry could run.
So now he's saying that the VeggieTales characters are actually gay.
Everything's got to be gay with these people, right?
Everything.
I told you the other day, I was in a store and I asked for a bag and the guy behind the counter was gay and he couldn't get the plastic bags off.
And he said, man, it'd be a lot easier if I didn't have to do so much foreplay with these plastic bags.
It's like everything's got to be sexual with these people.
Everything.
Because their mind has been placed on this path.
And then, so, to address this gay Christian thing, I found Joshua Hames, who's a podcast host, Dark Roast Reformed.
I always forget.
He's the host of...
Reformation Red Pill Podcast.
Okay, I always forget the name of his podcast.
Okay, so he says, there's no such thing as an LGBT Christian.
It is a categorical impossibility.
To be clear, there are Christians who are tempted by the sin of homosexuality.
We'll talk more about that in a moment.
There are Christians who, by the grace of God, overcome that temptation and lead godly, sexually pure lives.
But any person who claims the gay identity cannot also claim Christ.
You can have but one master, Christ or your own sinful desires, in this case sexual desires.
To submit to one is to hate the other.
If you love Christ, you will hate sexual perversion.
If you love your sexual perversion, you hate Christ.
Remember in Romans 1, we just read it, haters of God, inventors of evil.
The Bible is clear, church history is clear, and the consequences for affirming sin are clear and upon us.
For all those who claim Christ while openly and unashamedly indulging in sexual sin, you are apostate.
You do not have assurance of salvation, and you currently blaspheme the gospel of grace through your brazen disobedience.
The Bible is clear.
But the gospel invitation is ever open to you.
Please stop listening to the serpent's lies.
Stop trying to redefine good and evil to justify your lusts.
Christ is better.
He satisfies and fulfills far more than your lusts ever could.
So long as you draw breath, it is not too late to repent and experience the incredible love and forgiveness of the Savior.
The sacrifice is difficult, but he is worthy.
He is worth it.
Excellent retort to this idea of, I can be a gay LGBT Christian, because we're going to now invent history.
We're going to rewrite history and invent some, oh, did you know there's always been gay Christians?
It's the same thing where people are trying to say, And this is only a temporary fix for their theological twists and turns on how they pervert scripture, but it's the same time for people that try to say that Romans 1 is not talking about two consenting male adults engaging in sodomy.
It's talking about pedophilia.
Which, it's not, but we all know what's...
This is all leading to people advocating for the normalcy of pedophilia, so their twisted interpretation of Scripture will only last another two, three years before those same people come back and say, well, you know, the age of consent laws are just, you know, it's just so 1950s, so regressive.
Fight the patriarchy.
Yeah.
Which, this is a perfect time to remind you that the patriarchy is going to exist, whether you like it or not, right?
I mean, I know we do have very much a gynocracy, if you will, but in reality, it's still not really there, because you're going to have men that are in control of things that are wicked men that don't want to protect women, that don't want to shield them as the weaker sex and actually...
Do the things that men are supposed to do to maintain society.
I don't know, like build all of our buildings and all of our infrastructure, as well as raise families and protect their children and raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
If you don't have that, you end up having men that are just absolutely...
They're not just not only not protectors of women, they're predators of those women.
And we're seeing that right now play out in our society.
Weak men with no chests.
So, there's a guy by the name, what time is it?
26.
Let's take a break.
So we're going to take the break now because when we come back we're going to further explore this idea.
There's a guy by the name of Jamie Bambrick who is the editor-in-chief at Clear Truth Media.
He's also an associate pastor of Hope Church across the pond there.
I think over in Ireland or England, anyway.
And he recently had on his program Dr.
Rosaria Butterfield, and we're going to get to that because the specific question is, if you get a chance to witness to your gay friend or a family member, what should you say?
Well, Rosaria Butterfield is a Christian.
She's the wife of a Presbyterian minister, but she once was a practicing lesbian and has an incredible testimony of how God called her out of that sin and how she hates that sin.
Actually, the stuff that she says in this podcast, man, is actually really based.
It really, truly is.
It's a complete rebuke of these woke, mainline church denominations and these evangelical churches that are going squishy trying to compensate for how do we tell people that, look, Being gay is not...
There's no wiggle room here, right?
It is a sin, and you need to mortify it, repent of it, and hate it.
We're going to take a break.
Don't go anywhere.
My name is Paul Harrell.
This is the Millstone Report.
Back in the... War.
Inflation.
Rate hikes.
Banks crashing.
To call it shocking isn't even scratching the surface.
Many of us expect a financial crisis to happen, but how suddenly it could happen is frightening.
Is this how the next financial crisis begins?
We all don't know.
Which might explain why gold and silver are surging to record levels.
And if the value of the dollar continues to decline?
The demand for gold and silver could continue to rise.
So don't let your hard earned wealth fall victim to the bad decisions of bankers, regulators and politicians.

Before we go any further, I want to tell you about the Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company.
The Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company is a veteran-owned and operated coffee company that imports coffee beans from around the world and roasts them back home here in the United States.
I actually know the owner.
He's a great guy and a Christian.
They also donate a portion of the profits of every bag sold to Homes for Our Troops, which is a publicly funded nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9-11 veterans to enable them to rebuild their lives and, you know, recover.
At the Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company, they are committed to providing high-quality coffee And they want to make the experience of other people's lives.
They want to make a difference in other people's lives.

All right, so we were just talking about this podcast here.
Let me see, where did it go?
We're going to play this for you.
This is interesting.
Before we actually listen to it, it's a fairly lengthy clip, but you've got to hear this.
Rosaria Butterfield, we've told you this, has a great testimony about how Christ saved her from her sin, from her LGBT lifestyle.
The beat reporter over the Daily Wire, Megan Basham, evangelical leader, the Christian beat reporter over the Daily Wire.
Evangelical leaders have spoken a lot about waiting to spend our capital on big cultural battles that never seem to come.
What has been almost miraculous to me about Rosaria Butterfield, is that she built up tremendous capital with her testimony of leaving a life of lesbianism to follow Christ.
She has had a glowing reputation.
She is revered by all of these major mainstream ministries and now instead of hoarding that capital she's chosen to spend it by continuing to proclaim the transformative power of the gospel in ways that absolutely shame big evangelicalism's narrative.
She has lent her credibility to those of us who are often dismissed.
She has lent her respectability to those of us that the big ministries say are not respectable because of the socially unpopular things we write and talk about.
Most of all, she has lent her voice to the truth, no matter what it might cost her in her conference invites and book reviews.
And I'm so very, very grateful for her.
Lord, help me to have her disinterest in protecting my important invites from powerful, respectable people.
This is Clear Truth Media, Jamie Bambrick's media outlet where they interviewed her.
He interviewed her, and he started by asking this question.
How do you minister?
How would you, Rosaria Butterfield, who came out of the gay lifestyle, how would you witness, tell somebody to repent of their sin, If you get the opportunity to talk to a friend who happens to be gay or a family member who's stuck in that sin pattern.
Let's say someone is able to have a conversation with someone or multiple conversations with someone who identifies as gay, calls themselves that.
What are the key messages you think that as Christians we should be trying to communicate, whether that's the gospel in its pure form, but also maybe some of that specific application and relevance to those people?
Right, right, right.
Well, again, you're not speaking in a vacuum.
So, in the evangelical church, and especially the church that has just been completely co-opted by bereft, mushy, gospel coalition-y kind of language, The end goal, you know,
like, oh, Rosaria, you know, you call yourself gay and you've felt this way for a long time and you've had all these girlfriends and, well, you know, we have lifelong celibacy for you and a gay bowling league at the church, yes, you know, and you're like, ugh.
This to me is super based.
Because it's fantastic.
So for those of you that don't know, there are these squishy ministries that don't want to tell people, look, Christ can and will save you from your homosexuality.
And you're not just going to come to Christ and then be stuck with, well, I'm still gay and I'm still attracted to men.
And there are these There are these parasites that come alongside and say, well, Christ is just never going to change you.
And so you have to commit to celibacy.
But congratulations, we'll put you among all of these other gay Christians who are also celibate.
And we have this gay bowling league, as she said, everything will be fine.
What kind of life is that?
Now that's not to say that we don't suffer in this Christian life because we do, but that's certainly not the goal and you don't want to tell people, oh yeah, you know, but this is where Rosaria comes in who says, but she was redeemed and saved from that to the point where she hated that lifestyle and didn't want it anymore and wasn't going to be a part of it anymore and instead married a man.
I don't, that's really not good.
And I think the fear, I think, has to do with not presuming that you know God's calling for another person.
You want to be careful with that.
But again, the creation ordinance is for everybody.
And let's be clear, a world that grows in singleness and homosexuality is under judgment.
So if you have a theology that helps people grow in their homosexuality or their singleness, you are actually promoting a theology that brings the church under judgment.
So think about that.
I personally have not met anyone called to singleness.
I've met a lot of people who are single and have been single their whole life because of providence.
But the first order of business is teaching someone how to hate your sin without hating yourself.
That's key.
And that's Romans 7.
Why do I do what I don't want to do?
It is not I. It is the law of sin in me.
The second is teaching people that just because your sin is unchosen and acted upon, that doesn't mean it's not a morally culpable sin.
Exodus 20, 17, the 10th commandment.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.
The prohibition is against coveting.
It doesn't say thou shalt not take thy neighbor's wife.
Don't take your neighbor's wife.
I mean, duh, don't do it.
But the prohibition is against coveting.
It's the thought.
And you know what?
It goes on.
You can think about Jesus' Sermon on the Mount saying, look, if you have anger in your heart, you've committed murder.
If you have lust in your heart, you've committed adultery.
It's the same idea of covetousness.
Obviously, Christ brings a lot more clarity to it when he talks about it in the New Testament, but she's exactly right.
There are these people...
Who are on the wrong path and they are saying, look, if you feel this way or you feel attracted to that person, that's just who you are, right?
There's nothing you can do about it and it's like, no.
Lust is lust.
Lust is lust, right?
Whether you're lusting after a member of the opposite sex or you're lusting after same sex, it's still a sin.
It's still in your heart and it's a sin that needs to be hated and repented of.
And it's a sin that needs to be prayed over to say, Lord, help me.
I don't like this.
I hate this.
I don't want to do this.
And when she talks about Romans chapter 7, just so you know, this is...
Well, let's just throw it up on the screen here for clarity, because I think anytime you reference Scripture, if you haven't read Romans 7, this is very helpful.
He says, you know, Paul writes again, So,
he says, knowing that, so, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
This is the NIV translation, by the way.
Don't normally read from NIV. We're good to go.
He says, Did
that which is good then become death to me?
By no means.
Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment, sin might become utterly sinful.
And then he goes on to say, he goes on to talk about this right here, 14.
This is what Rosario was talking about.
We know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
I do not understand what I do.
I don't understand why I have these urges, is what he's saying, or these temptations to sin.
For what I want to do, I do not do.
But what I hate, I do.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
And so when Rosaria says...
Sin is just because your sin is a business.
It's teaching someone how to hate your sin without hating yourself.
That's key.
And that's Romans 7.
Why do I do what I don't want to do?
It is not I. It is the law of sin in me.
The second is teaching people that just because your sin is unchosen and unacted upon, that doesn't mean it's not a morally culpable sin.
Exodus 20, 17, the 10th commandment.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.
The prohibition is against coveting.
It doesn't say thou shalt not take thy neighbor's wife.
Don't take your neighbor's wife.
I mean, duh, don't do it.
But the prohibition is against coveting.
The sin is in coveting.
So the first thing is learn how to hate your sin without hating yourself.
The second is believe the gospel.
Believe that if the Apostle Paul could go from murdering Christians to becoming one of our greatest theologian apostles, that you too can change.
The sentiment is to see Mary Magdalene worshipping the Lord Jesus.
Do you think that woman didn't have trauma?
Do you think that woman doesn't have body memories?
I mean, goodness gracious!
Think about what her life was like.
Okay, you have those things too.
Got it.
Look at her worship of Jesus.
And then finally, giving, and the right timing.
I understand it's all about, you know, relationships take timing.
If you're just joining us, the context is, if you've got, and this is great because we're in the middle of Pride Month, if you've got a gay friend or gay family member, What's your advice on how to tell them to repent and believe the gospel?
Repent.
Turn to Jesus.
Oh, and don't be cagey, and don't falsify your motives.
It is totally fine for me to say to a young man who comes to me and says, Rosaria, I have struggled with same-sex attraction since I was 13 years old.
And it is totally fine for me to pray for him and say, Son, I just want you to know, And he's a Christian.
So we're not talking about somebody who's not a Christian.
He's absolutely a Christian.
And he's fighting his sin.
It is totally appropriate for me to say, son, I am going to pray that I get to go to your wedding someday and get to babysit for your children someday.
And often that young man will break into tears and say, how do I get there?
And that's why I sometimes just hand people Jared Moore's book.
And I say, do you want to talk about it?
You know, part of it is you got one foot in both camps, son.
You gotta leave.
You've gotta leave anything about the gay culture that you think is pulling you.
I understand there are nice people there, but you being there doesn't help them.
And this is advice for any sin that a Christian is struggling with, by the way.
However, considering that we are in the month of June and inundated with rainbow flags that don't stand for God's covenant, they stand for debauchery, sodomy, and degeneracy, this is certainly an inappropriate thing to talk about.
It was a great...
I recommend you guys go check that out.
Again, Jamie Bambrick's podcast.
It is...
Clear Truth Media.
And again, it's making the rounds right now.
Over on Christian X, and it's been really, really good to watch and to see.
Speaking of churches, though, and this whole, you know, what we're fighting, it's a terrifying trend that's going on.
I actually talked about this years ago with somebody because I saw what was coming.
This virtual reality, this Mark Zuckerberg meta, what they're basically trying to enslave humans to quit enjoying the creation of God themselves, but to view screens all the time.
But what if we go into the computer program?
What if we just immerse ourselves into the computer as much as we can?
And so people were saying, well, gosh, if this takes off, we're going to have to send missionaries inside the metaverse.
We're going to have to send missionaries inside.
And I'm just like, are you kidding?
Are you nuts?
No, no, no, no.
You just consider me Amish then, okay?
You consider me Amish if you think that this is the technology that we're going to participate in this nonsense.
That's ridiculous.
Well, Saddleback Church...
Kind of getting in on a little foreshadowing of what I just talked about.
I guess you could consider, now this is a foreshadowing, this is it.
I mean, they're holding virtual reality worship services now.
Right.
So you thought the virtual worship services during COVID, which weren't really worship services, I got news for you.
A lot of people might have done that and been ministered by it, you know, for it or whatever.
I get it.
But in-person worship is worship.
It's not in-person worship.
I'm talking about the people of God.
I'm talking about, you know, fellowshipping, congregating together, the gathering, the weekly worship service is...
It's corporeal, okay?
It's not ones and zeros.
It's flesh and blood.
Anyway, they decided to have a virtual reality protest to you with this story.
A virtual reality.
This is insane.
They write, Saddleback Churches joined other large megachurches in the virtual reality space, recently hosting its first virtual reality church service through the metaverse.
Oh my goodness.
And you see this here.
Yeah, that's one of the things it looked like.
I think we've got a better video coming up.
The metaverse is a digital realm that combines elements of augmented reality, persistent virtual worlds, videos, virtual reality headsets, 3D holographic avatars, and other communication tools.
While still in its early stages, the metaverse is poised to offer hyper-realistic alternatives for people to interact and coexist in, even when they're not actively participating.
Why a church wants any part in this?
That's because we've got to reinvent the wheel.
Yeah, we've got to be the world to the people instead of the church to the world.
The services are led and hosted by Jay Kronda.
Kronda is an online pastor at Saddleback Church.
An online pastor.
Oh, man.
An online pastor.
I guess, you know, it's kind of just like a doctor.
You know, doctors fought telehealth.
They fought telehealth.
They hated telehealth.
And now telehealth is taking off.
And you can just get your, you know, you'll see a doctor via computer screen.
And they'll write you a prescription.
Here we go.
This is what it looked like.
Just so you can understand how absolutely ridiculous this is.
Here it is.
Let's see.
Are we going to reload?
Excuse me.
Sorry about that.
We'll reload the page.
Virtual reality worship service in VRChat.
I want to share a couple quick learnings.
Here's a little bit of a preview of what happened.
Couple quick thoughts.
First, it was very immersive.
We actually played the whole worship service from start to end.
The only difference is I went up in my avatar and I hosted and welcomed everybody.
Then we played the YouTube experience, which was about an hour long.
Then I came up at the end and prayed for everybody.
Personally, in my avatar in that space.
Very immersive in the sense you just sat there and watch for an hour and you can sit down in VR and just watch.
It felt like church actually after about 10 minutes.
Second, it was really cool to hear everybody singing.
You can hear the mics and people were singing and it was really communal.
Lastly, people were very open.
We did a little bit of debrief and people, because they're wearing avatars and maybe because they're not in their own flesh, they tend to be more honest, which creates a really cool experience.
It's definitely not for everybody, but you can see where potentially this could be a great resource for the church in the coming years, maybe decades.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Here I stand.
Here I stand on this.
Sorry, no!
No, if this comes up, if you go to a church and they bring something like this up, you shut it down and you start talking about transhumanism and you don't care what kind of looks you get.
No.
No, no, no, no.
That's the answer.
And it's not a hard one either.
After creating the digital replica of their church building, Saddleback and Cranda invited all the avatars to attend, greeting them virtually.
Oh my goodness.
It felt like church.
Yeah, but it wasn't.
That's the problem.
That's the problem.
And yeah, there's that.
And then, yeah, here we go.
I think Woke Preacher Clips retweeted this.
This is something to think about.
So this is their virtual church service.
And Woke Preacher Clips notes, at least 10% of the attendees are furry avatars.
Diversity is our strength, even if we've got people that think they're cats.
Come on, man.
What a stark contrast.
Rosaria Butterfield confronting with truths of the gospel about the LGBTQ sin of our age versus this.
It's pretty pathetic.
But, speaking of pathetic.
Speaking of pathetic.
If you thought you've seen pathetic, you haven't seen anything yet.
Let me introduce you to a man by the name of MC Baba.
M.C. Baba.
He is a rapper that is deaf.
He's from the Congo.
And of course, diversity is our strength.
This is the one thing our world was missing.
What about the deaf rappers?
What about the deaf rappers?
We need a new marginalized group.
There's all of these deaf rappers out.
There's all these people who are deaf who just dream of being rappers, but the discriminatory music industry, they just won't have any deaf rappers.
Deaf rappers.
You can imagine what it would sound like, right?
No, you cannot imagine what it would sound like, but thankfully, here he is.
May I introduce to you, ladies and gentlemen, M.C. Baba.
I mean, if you...
If you think I offer you my apology, those of you that are offended, just didn't want your ears to...
When I heard that, doing the show prep for today's broadcast, this story came across my feed.
I said, alright, let me hear what this guy sounds like.
When I heard that, it immediately gave me indigestion.
I'm not making it up.
I listened to it a few times on a limb, and I was like, okay.
As a matter of fact, it's kind of giving me indigestion now.
I have never heard of that.
Maybe that's a medical condition that we can, you know, marginalize and the cultural Marxists can use.
Those of us who hear terrible sounds and get triggered, it triggers our indigestion.
What an absolute nightmare this guy is.
Clown World is posting.
Congo has introduced Africa's first mute rapper.
Well, he's deaf.
He's not mute, right?
Because if you're mute, you don't say anything.
That would be hilarious.
If you didn't talk at all and you wanted to be a singer or a rapper or...
I mean, what would those videos be like?
No, no, no.
He's actually deaf.
Again, according to this, this is what Nick Shaheen averages.
No, I'm sorry.
That's the wrong thing.
MC Baba, hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, has emerged as a revolutionary figure in the world of rap, proving that barriers can be overcome with creativity and determination.
The artist who began his career, by the way, I feel like there was some auto-tune used in some of his squeeching.
Or squelching or squeaking.
Squeaking.
So he's the squeaking rapper, MC Baba.
This artist who began his career in 2021 has captured the attention of thousands on social media thanks to his innovative musical style, despite his hearing and speech disabilities.
Okay, so he does have speech disabilities.
Well, of course he's got speech disabilities because he's deaf.
So he's not mute.
Right, a mute can't make any noises at all.
I mean, I didn't go to...
In recent weeks, MC Baba has caused a sensation with a music video where he uses traditional rap beats combined with vocal sounds.
That's a good way to describe it.
Vocal sounds that do not form recognizable words.
This technique has deeply resonated with audiences generating thousands of views and shares across various platforms.
All right.
Well, again, sorry about that, folks.
All right.
So that's all the time that we have for this Wednesday edition of the Millstone Report.
We really do appreciate you being with us.
It's always great.
God bless everybody out there watching this video.
And unless I am providentially hindered, I'm going to see you tomorrow wishing you a happy Thursday.
Have a great night.
God bless.
