…here tonight, Father, and I thank you forthose that have been with us for some time and have been faithful to this church and love this church as much as I love this church.  And, Father, I just pray that you would please bless the sermon tonight and use it in the lives of those that are here. Give us wisdom, dear God. The Bible says wisdom is the principal thing. And so I just pray that you would help us to get wisdom and to understand the deep things of the Bible.  And in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

 

Now a little bit of an unusual sermon tonight, but in Job chapter 13 verse four I want to focus on that as our text verse.  The Bible says, “But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.”[1]  That is the title of my sermon tonight, “Physicians of no value.”

 

Now look, if you would, at Matthew chapter nine and I am going to philosophize with you a little bit. We are going to come back to Job chapter 12.  But look at Matthew chapter nine and verse number 12.

 

Now in the book of Job he uses a metaphor about the men that are speaking to him, the three men that have come to comfort him, so to speak, that are actually railing on him and blaming him for all of his problems. He refers to them as liars and he says, “You are a liar.” And he says, “You are liars kind of like physicians of no value.  That is what good you are.”

 

Well, look, if you would, at Matthew chapter nine. I am going to preach to you tonight about physicians of no value. 

 

Now, understand, first of all, before I get into the sermon what the word “physician” means. In the Bible the word “doctor” is not used in the sense of a medical professional. The word “doctor” in the Bible is used three times and it is referring to a scholar, much like someone goes to a university. They can earn a bachelor’s, a master’s or a doctorate.  That is the use of the Bible word “doctor.” It is used three times in that way.  “Doctors of the law,” referring to lawyers, “doctors of the Bible,” Bible scholars who have attained the title of being a doctor. 

 

But when the Bible wants to talk about what we know of as a doctor, like a medical professional, the Bible uses the word “physician.” 

 

Now look at Matthew chapter nine verse 12.  And let’s see what Jesus Christ has to say about physicians, about doctors.  The Bible says in Matthew9:12, “But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”[2]

 

Now that statement is repeated three times by Jesus in the gospels. It is stated in the Bible three times that Jesus said, “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”[3]

 

Now before I get into the sermon I don’t want you to think that I am one of these people that says, “Don’t ever go to the doctor.”  You know, it is...  You know there are actually some religions that teach it is a sin to ever go to the doctor.  Now, I don’t agree with that at all. That’s not true. 

 

Now according to this verse is that true?  No, because Jesus clearly said they that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. So there is a person who is sick who does need to go to a doctor.  So I am not saying that all doctors and all medicines are wrong and it is a sin and just leave it in God’s hands and just call 1-888-Benny Hinn and put your hand on the screen and he is going to heal you.  That is not what I am talking about at all. 

 

He will slap you in the forehead and you will fall out and you might feel a little tingle for a minute. But he is a physician of no value if anything. 

 

But the point is that Jesus is saying here...don’t miss what he is saying.

 

You say, “Oh, well, he is just talking about repentance and sinners...”

 

No, don’t miss what he is saying.  Don’t ever miss the primary application of what Jesus is saying. Yes, he is using it as a metaphor, but he is also making a very plain statement that says, “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”[4] 

 

So here is what we learn.  If you are healthy, if you are whole, if you are not sick do you need the doctor according to the Bible?  No.  If you are sick and have a serious problem do you need the doctor?  Yes, you may need the doctor.

 

Now that is what I want you to understand, first of all, before I get into the sermon. 

 

Now, number one, point number one, don’t go to the doctor unless you have to.  And this is all I am...I am going to show you all this in the Bible. Don’t go to the doctor unless you have to go to the doctor.

 

I have not been to the doctor in years.  I think I am going on about three years now since I have been to the doctor.  Praise the Lord. You know, I went to the doctor three years ago because I got a really bad bronchial infection, you know, bronchitis.  I think you had that recently. I had bronchitis and I had to...and I struggled with it for like a month just trying to get over it.  It was not going anywhere, you know, so I had to go and get the antibiotics and get over that. 

There is a time when you are forced to go to the doctor. But let me tell you something, going to the doctor is not a positive thing.  Going to the doctor is not the end all, be all.  Going to the doctor can actually be a negative thing.  Did you know that? I am going to show you that in the Bible a little bit further. But going to the doctor is a negative thing. You should only use the doctor as a last resort. This is just wisdom from the Bible.

 

He says, “If you are whole, if you can handle it, don’t go to the doctor.”  Don’t got to the doctor [?].

 

You say, “I have health insurance.  It’s free.”

 

Hey, it is not even good for you to go to the doctor when you are whole, when you are not sick.

 

Now, look, if you would, at Job 12:3 back where we started the sermon.  Job chapter 12 is where we started the sermon and I am going to show you something.

 

While you are turning there let me tell you this. There are positive mentions of doctors in the Bible like, for example, in Colossians 4:14 the Bible talks about, “Luke, the beloved physician.”[5]  Did you know that he man who wrote the book of Luke was actually a physician by trade. The man who wrote Luke, I am talking about the man who wrote the gospel of Luke, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, actually was a physician by trade and the Bible calls him “the beloved physician.”[6]  There is nothing wrong with being a physician. There is nothing wrong with doctors. But you just have to understand what the Bible teaches about this. 

 

Now look at Job chapter 12 where we started reading and I will show you a little why I was reading here.  Look at verse number three.  The Bible says here...I like this. He makes kind of a smart aleck remark in verse number two. Did you notice that?  “No doubt but ye are the people.”[7]   I mean, “you are just the [?],” is what he is saying.  “[You] are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.”[8]  I mean, you just know it all, don’t you? 

 

But he says, “But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?”[9]

 

Now, first of all, I want to tell you this that most of the things that the doctor knows you already know, just so you know, ok.  I have been to the doctor so many times...I remember going to the doctor growing up. My mom used to take me to the doctor just at the drop of a hat. I mean if something was...it was just like, “Let’s go to the doctor. Let’s check it out.”

 

And I would go there and I remember telling my mom I said, “I tired of going to the doctor. You know, I don’t even want to the doctor anymore because,” I said, “every time I go there they just tell me what I already knew. They just tell me something that I already knew about. They don’t do anything. They have never done anything.”

 

I mean at this point I had never had antibiotics until I was like 18, but I had been to the doctor like 15 times and they just didn’t do anything. 

 

“Oh, let it run its course. Eat some chicken soup.”

 

You know, I’m thinking...

 

And so nine times out of 10 do you think that the doctor some special knowledge beam that comes down from him from heaven that tells him something that you don’t know?  He has the same books that you can read yourself.  He has the same internet that you can look at yourself. He has the same resources you can look at.

 

Look, anybody knows half the things that you are going to hear from the doctor. Anybody can dream it up themselves.  But look, if you would, at verse number six.  The Bible says, “The tabernacles of robbers prosper.”[10]  We are going to get to that in a minute, the robbers. And it says in verse number six, “And they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.”[11]

 

Verse seven:

 

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:  Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.  Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?[12]

 

Now think about this for a moment as we get into the sermon.  Does the medical world in 2007, does the modern science—falsely so called—believe that God created this world perfect and that on the sixth day God looked at everything that he had made and behold, it was very good?  Is that what the doctor believes when you go to the doctor?  No. The medical world is based on the assumption that there is no God.  It is based on a science book that teaches evolution, that the nature and that God’s creation is not perfect, but that it needs our help constantly.  We have to constantly be improving on God’s creation. We have to constantly be stepping in to make sure it doesn’t mess up because there is no creator, there is no God.  It is just happening around us.

 

Now, God says here, “Listen, physician of no value. Listen, doctor who doesn’t believe in God.  Listen, doctor who thinks that you know everything, you think you are the people and you think wisdom is going to die with you?” He says, “You are going to have something to learn by asking even the beasts of the field could teach you a thing or two about medicine.” 

 

He says, “Even the fishes could declare to you that the hand of God has created all these things, that God knows more than you do, that God’s creation is superior to your creation and to your methods.”

 

Now look, if you would, at verse number nine again. We saw...

 

Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?  In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.  Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? 

 

With the ancient...[13]

 

This is referring to God.

 

With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.  With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.[14]

 

Now here we see another problem with the philosophy of the medical world.  And we are going to get into all the specific examples, don’t worry. You are inFaithful Word Baptist Church. So you are going to hear it all. But the first point I want to make is just to show you that, number one, don’t go to the doctor unless you have to go to the doctor as a last resort.  Number two, the medical world is based on an assumption that there is no God and that God’s creation is not perfect and that there is nothing that we can learn from the animal world and the natural world.  But, number three, we see here that God’s philosophy is that things that are older, people that are older, you know, information that is older, he says, there is wisdom there. There is wisdom in the Bible. There is wisdom in speaking to an old man. The young person does not know it all.  Ask the old man.  Get to the old man and ask him a thing for two and you could learn something.

 

Now, what does the medical world believe? The exact opposite.  Go to school and they will teach you that, “Oh, back then people were just nuts. I mean they didn’t know any thing about medicines. Boy, back then people were just idiots.” And they will use an example of maybe, you know, using leeches, you know, like they did. And they did do stupid things like that. But I could show you 500 stupid things that they do right now that is just as weird as putting leeches on somebody. And so they always point to it and say, “We know everything right now. The past, they knew nothing. The people in Bible days, totally ignorant.”

 

Well, then why were people in the Bible days living to be 120 years old?  Tell me that. Why was Moses 123 years old as he died if he was so medically stupid. 

 

Well, he happened to have written the book of Leviticus. Obviously it was God that was using him to write it which talks all about sanitation, which talks all about health, which talks about disease control, which talks about proper diet, which talks about all the things that could help you lead a healthy life. But what did he know anyway?  He didn’t have the modern science marvels that we just can’t live without today, the modern medicine that, good night, what we even do without the doctor today? What would we do? He is our Lord and Savior. 

But that is later in the message.  We will get to that.  But look at what it says here in verse number two of chapter 13.  So we saw some of the fundamental errors with modern thinking about medicine.  Number one, the doctor is not for prevention. The doctor is for cure according to the Bible. The doctor is not for preventative maintenance.  Number two, the doctor doesn’t believe in God. That is his biggest problem.  And, number three, the doctor doesn’t understand that he could learn something from people of the past. He thinks that the cutting edge new thing that just came out last year is the end all, be all. This is it. We have arrived.

 

But look at verse number two of chapter 13.  “What ye know, the same do I know also.”[15]  Well, that is what I would like to say to a lot of doctors that I have been to.

 

I am not inferior unto you.  Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.  But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.[16]

 

You see, did you know that you can open your Bible and get medical advice from the Bible?  Did you know that?  Did you know that you can get dietary health advice from the Bible?  I preached a whole sermon on proper diet. I left out half my sermon for sake of time and I preached many things that the Bible teaches about eating what is good food to eat, what is not good food to eat.  And a lot of people think so many misconceptions about what good food.  You know, people say meat is bad for you.  Show me that in the Bible God had the priests eating meat every day. And I proved that to you. They ate beef every day. Hallelujah. Beef is what is for dinner. And in the book of Leviticus it is very clear.

 

And I don’t have time to re preach that sermon, but go through.

 

And a lot of people’s misconceptions about what is healthy, what is not. Hey, butter is healthy.  Praise God. It is in the Bible.  Read the Bible.

 

And I went through the whole sermon and I showed the Bible’s clear teaching about healthy foods, what is healthy, what is not.  And the main premise of the sermon was that everything that God made is good. What is really making people obese and what is really hurting people is the artificial, you know, the chemical, what God has not made, what has been made in the laboratory. And, well, get that sermon if you haven’t heard that one. That is an important sermon just not really a sin or a right or wrong issue, but it is just going to help you. That is the purpose of the sermon. That is the purpose of the sermon tonight, by the way, is to help you.

 

But the last thing to realize here in this introductory statements is that God almighty knows more about medicine and about health than the doctor does. 

You say, “Well, the Bible doesn’t really talk about things like that.” 

 

This book talks about everything, everything.

 

You say, “Well, what about this?”

 

Yes. Yes, it does.  Yes, it does talk about it because the Bible talks about everything.  And I get so tired of people saying, “Well, the Bible doesn’t really talk about that.”

 

Have you memorized the whole Bible?  You are going to tell me...oh, you know everything that the Bible talks about. You know like through the whole Bible because you are telling me the Bible never mentions so and so.  Really? Wow. You must have it memorized.

 

The Bible mentions everything.  I have never found a subject where if I didn’t just study a little further, you know, I have thought about a subject, well, what does God say about that?  And at first I couldn’t find it.  I kept looking. I kept looking.  Always you are going to find it. Always.  You have to work. You have to search the Scriptures.  Every single subject is covered in the Bible.

 

Now why wouldn’t this subject be covered in the Bible?  It has got to be. Everything is covered in the Bible.

 

You say, “Oh, they didn’t have the modern technology then.”

 

Hey, God has more technology, God knows more science, God knows more mathematics than any doctor in this world can shake a stick at and so I would put God’s knowledge in the holy Bible next to what the world says any day of the week on any subject, any matter, anything.

And I wish that you would understand that because that will help you understand the Bible in a lot of different areas, if you realize this statement, I have made this statement many times.  The Bible has everything I need to know about every subject in the world.  I’ll stand by that statement. I love that statement because it is the truth.  And it revolutionizes my understanding of the Bible when I realize that. 

 

If I wanted to know about a subject I just look at it through the Bible.  If I want to know about booze, want to know about alcohol, I just look through the Bible. If I want to know about fill in the blank. I look to it in the Bible. 

 

But let me show you one example of what I am talking about.  I have got this big stack of stuff. I have got like 30 pages of stuff. I am not going to go through all of it for sake of time. But listen to this. This is the breaking news from yesterday.

 

The governor inTexas...Now remember our first premise. And so, you know, we are comparing Scripture with what we see here. Remember our first premise?  “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”[17]  Ok, that is what we believe about doctors because that is what the Bible says.

Well, listen to this. “Texas governor orders anti cancer vaccine.” Now that sounds pretty good, you know, at first, if you are just the average Joe reading that.  But the news is always slanted. This is from the Associated Press.  The news is always going to be slanted.  So when you read the headline, always deceptive because this is what it is. It is not an anti cancer vaccine. Let me read on. 

 

“Some conservatives,” this is the first line of the Associated Press article. And, by the way, the Associated Press is a major...in case you don’t know, this is a major news organization. That’s what...I think it is the biggest one in the whole nation. 

 

“Some conservatives and parents’ rights groups worry that requiring girls to get vaccinated against the you know what transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer...” 

 

So what is it really about?  It is not about the cancer at all, is it?  It is about an STD, ok. 

 

“Some conservatives and parents’ rights groups worry that requiring girls to get vaccinated against the you know how transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer would condone premarital you know what and interfere with the way that they raise their children.  By using an executive order that bypassed the legislature…”

 

Are you listen to this?  The governor ofTexas just bypasses all the lawmaking organization. He bypasses the legislature.

 

“Republican governor Rick Perry, himself a conservative,” yeah, right. He doesn’t even know what conservative is.  “...on Friday avoided such makingTexas the first state to mandate that school girls get vaccinated against the virus.  Beginning in September 2008 girls entering the sixth grade...” Did you hear that?  “...the sixth grade will have to receive Gardasil, Merck and company...” That is the manufacturer of this vaccine, “Gardasil, Merch and Company’s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV.”

Now think about this. We are going to see the correlation in a little bit.  What does HPV remind you of? Doesn’t that sound kind of like HIV, ok?  But listen. We are going to get to that correlation in a little bit. 

 

“Perry also directed state health authorities to make the vaccine available free to girls ages nine to 18 who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines.”

 

So here is what he is saying.  He just, like Adolf Hitler, like Chancellor Adolf Hitler back in the 1930s he is just making executive orders. He doesn’t care what the congress ofTexas says.  He doesn’t care...I mean the guy is a stinking fascist.  The guy is Adolf Hitler.  He doesn’t care what the law makers say. He just says, “I am going to make an executive order, thus saith the Lord, thus saith Governor Rick Perry.” He says, “Every school girl must be vaccinated when she goes into the sixth grade for an STD.” And this is the first line of the...  I don’t know if you caught the first line that I read.  “Many parents and conservative activists are saying, ‘We feel like you are giving the green light to a sixth grader that she is entering the age of, you know, promiscuity, that now she can become active in that way.’”

 

Can you imagine that?  A sixth grader.  Yes, you are giving her the green light when you say, “Well, here, well, you know, we know you might do it. I mean, we are preaching against it. We are teaching against it.  But we know you are probably going to do it anyway and you might pick up this disease and so just across the board every single girl entering the sixth grade we are going to give them this vaccine to prevent them from getting this STD.”

 

You are giving them the green light, my friend. You are telling them, “Well, we know you are going to do it anyway, so just...you know, hint, hint, wink, wink, nod, nod.  Don’t do it. But if you do, you know, here, let me shoot you up with this in case you get the disease.”

 

Is that wicked? Is that wicked as hell or is it just me?

 

And why does he feel like he has the right to make laws and bypass theUnited States’ methods of doing things of a republican form of government and just think that he has the right to be a dictator inTexas and just say, “I am making the laws. I say what we do.”

 

Well, let’s read on.  “The HPV vaccine provides us with an incredible opportunity,” this is what the government says, “to effectively target and prevent cervical cancer.  Opponents say Perry should have let the legislature decide whether to impose a mandate.”

 

Or how about don’t mandate anything because what is it your business what people do...?  You know, it is none of your stinking business.

 

“‘He’s circumventing the will of the people,’ said Dawn Richardson, president of Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education, a citizens group that fought for the right to opt out of other vaccine requirements.”

 

You know, at least some people are fighting to say, “Can you, at least, like fill out some paperwork and maybe just say I don’t want my sixth grade daughter getting this.  You know, she doesn’t need this.”

 

And she said, “There’s no emergency except in the boardrooms of Merck,” that’s the company who made the vaccine, “where this is failing to gain the support that they had expected.”

 

Here is what it is.  They spent billions of dollars to produce this vaccine for HPV and when they spent all that money, they put it out on the market and it wasn’t really that popular. Nobody is really getting it, right?  So listen to this.

 

“‘The executive order is effective until Perry or a successor changes it, and the Legislature has no authority to repeal it,’ said Perry spokeswoman Krista Moody.”

 

I mean they can’t even get like a two-thirds majority to repeal it, just no chance to repeal it.

Now an executive order is supposed to be in like a national emergency or something.  He is just using it. “Vaccinate these girls against an STD a year and a half from now.” 

 

I mean you don’t think it could have gone through the process in the next year and a half? This isAmerica. This is theUnited States. This is where we live. 

 

“Why do you preach like this, pastor Anderson?”

 

Who else is going to preach like this?  Who else is saying this?  Somebody has got to point these people out.

 

“Merck could generate,” this is the company Merck, “...could generate billions if Gardasil at $360,” per shot to get shooted up with this vaccine, “were made mandatory across the country. Most insurance companies now cover the vaccine which has been shown to have no serious side effects.”

 

But listen to this.  “Perry,” this is the governor, “Perry has ties to Merck,” yeah, ok.  Listen to this, “...and Women in Government,” which is another organization promoting it. “One of the drug companies three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff, his current chief of staff’s mother in law, Texas Republican state representative Diane White Delisi is a state director for their lobby group, Women in Government. The governor also receives $6000 from Merck’s political action committee during his reelection campaign.”

 

Don’t they put these people in jail for this stuff?  I mean here he is the governor. He got 6000 bucks from this drug company and then all this...just coincidentally he just makes it mandatory.  I mean, this is unprecedented in the history of theUnited States.  Is that unbelievable? It has just happened yesterday. This is yesterday.

 

And I am not going to go through that [?].

 

And they did it in two places. One was the state ofTexas, one wasWashington,DC.  This is what an editorial writer in the Washington Post Washington, DC newspaper said, “Let's say you have an 11-year-old daughter in D.C. public schools. She'll be a sixth-grader next year. You are reminded that she must be immunized before she will be allowed to return to school. She'll need the usual vaccinations against measles, rubella and chickenpox. But this time, there's another disease on the list, one that the D.C. government is strongly urging your daughter be immunized against: the human papillomavirus, or HPV, which is an STD.  After all, your daughter is 11 and probably black, so the assumption is she'll be having unprotected you know what in no time -- but don't take offense.”

 

This is what the guy is saying, becauseWashington, DC is, you know, predominantly black. 

And it says, “Surely the HPV Vaccination Reporting Act of 2007, which was introduced before the DC Council yesterday, is for her own good.” He is mocking. You know, he is making light of this. This is an editorial writer for the Washington Post.  “HPV causes cervical cancer in about 10,000 women in theUnited States each year and kills about 3,700. The rate of the disease in the country is 8.8 per 100,000 females.”

 

So 8.8 in 100,000, that is not that many to be honest with you. 8.8, in 100,000 get cervical cancer for whatever reason, not even necessarily from this particular virus, ok.  8.8 in 100,000 and only about, I believe...let me just look at these numbers real quick, I believe about only one third of those will even die, so maybe three in 100,000.  So let’s just vaccinate every 11 year old and give here the green light.

 

“Go ahead, honey, and shack up and do whatever.”

 

I mean it is ridiculous.

 

“Because HPV is not casually transmissible, they argue there is less compelling rationale for requiring protection against it than against measles or pertussis.”  You know, which you can get by somebody coughing on you.  “...in the absence of potential harm to a third party, such laws may be considered unacceptably paternalistic.”

 

“Dad, thank you, dad. Thank you, daddy Perry, for giving us...for taking care of my kids and shooting them up with whatever you want,” paternalistic.

 

“Oh please. If the parents were doing their jobs, then there would be no need for a paternalistic government. Isn't that right, DC? Some of your elected officials certainly seem to think so.  Requiring HPV vaccination by law will almost certainly achieve more widespread protection against the disease than will policies that rely exclusively on persuasion and education. The only way to ensure that as many girls as possible receive the HPV vaccine is to require it before they enter middle school.”  Because that is where it is all going to start, right in middle school. 

 

Well, that is what you are telling them, anyway. That is what you are teaching them by giving them the vaccine at sixth grade.  And on and on.

And he goes on to talk about the history of vaccines and birth control methods being targeted at blacks, you know, just the racism behind this whole thing which there is a lot of racism behind it. And so on and on. 

 

You say, “Pastor Anderson, what do you think about vaccines?”

 

Well, by the way. Remember how I told you HPV how it kind of reminds you of something else, HIV?  This is what they are doing. They psyching you up for a mandatory HIV vaccine that is going to be coming out in the next few years. They are getting you used to it. 

 

Because [?] HPV, HIV, whatever. You know, they are getting you psyched up for it.

 

And, by the way AIDS is a judgment of God on the homos, yes it is.  It is the judgment of God on people who go out and fornicate and do wrong.

 

But listen to this.  “Crunch time for AIDS vaccines nears in 2008.” It’s coming to a head, the different companies that are competing to make the AIDS vaccine. 

 

“The hunt for a vaccine against AIDS is about to enter a critical stage, with results in 2008 from large-scale clinical trials of two candidates set to determine the future direction of research.  Highest hopes are pinned on a vaccine from Merck and Company.” They are the ones who are in the lead for creating this vaccine.  They are the ones who are giving money to a governor who is requiring them to mandate its processor, its precursor the HPV vaccine. 

 

Isn’t this horrible?  Isn’t this wicked as hell?

 

What do I think about vaccines?  Well, let’s think about the Bible. “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”[18]

 

Do you think that I am going to take my beautiful, healthy, new born baby and take it to some doctor so that they can shoot it up with who knows what? No. Never in a million years.  Who knows what they are putting into it. They are putting in live viruses. I don’t...think about this. Think about just from a biblical standpoint.  Have you ever read the book of Leviticus?  Remember that boring book that, oh, who needs it anyway?  It is so archaic and worthless. 

 

Hey, why don’t you pick it up and read it sometime and you will find out that God says, “Don’t touch things that aren’t clean Don’t take things into your body that aren’t clean.” Clean yourself up.  And why would I put dirt and filth and disease into my children’s bodies because it is going to strengthen their immunity. No, sir. No, my friend. Jesus says in my healthy baby...my baby...my son here, John, two years old.  Never been to a doctor, praise the Lord.  Praise God.  I hope he never goes to the doctor.  I hope he lives to be 100 years old and never sees a doctor in his life.

 

Now if he has to see a doctor we will take him to the doctor. You know, if he breaks his leg or something or if he gets some kind of an illness where he needs to see a doctor. I’ll take him to the doctor. I am not saying that I am against all doctors.  But I am going to tell you something.  As long as he is healthy like he is right now, I am not going to mess with him. I am going to keep him the way he is. I am not taking him to get vaccinated. 

 

Here...how about this for you?  Put this in your pipe and smoke it.  Here is a list of all the vaccines that are being offered today?  Which ones are made from aborted fetuses and which ones are made from animal cells?  So those are your two choices. 

 

This is put out by, you know, an anti abortion group who is telling you which ones, if you want to, you know, go to your doctor and specify which ones are not from aborted fetuses.  But to be honest with you, I don’t really feel comfortable injecting monkey kidney cells into my son either, to be honest with you.  I don’t really feel comfortable injecting him with something that came off a chick embryo or a monkey. 

 

No, my friend, read the Bible some time.

 

“What are you talking about?  Preach the Bible for a while.”

 

Hey, this is the most biblical preaching I could be preaching. Hey, keep yourself clean. Be clean. 

 

Polio vaccine. There’s two different kinds.  One from kidney cells from a monkey and one from aborted fetuses. 

 

Ok, chicken pox vaccine?  Only available from aborted fetuses is where they culture the virus cells.

Rubella, hepatitis A, Ebola or HIV, only come from research done with aborted fetuses and they take the cells and culture those diseases in aborted fetuses. The actual cells that are being injected into your child’s body when you get your kid vaccinated are from an aborted fetus. 

 

And then there are the ones that offer alternatives, polio, mumps, rabies, measles and small pox can get one that is not.  But do you think that that is the one that they are offering you when you get to the doctor?  No, because you are getting the MMR which is all in one shot which was made by Merck and company which is made from, cultured on aborted fetuses.

 

Now this is what they want me to do to my kid, right here. I have got a chart right here. This is what they want me to do to little Johnny and my new born baby that is going to be born this month, God willing. This is what they want me to do, 21 injections by the time he is 18 months old, 21 times he will be shot up with this stuff because he has got to have his hepatitis B three times. He has got to have his D-tab four times. He must have his hemophilus influenza type B.  I mean, the flu. He has got to have that four times by the time he is 18 months old.   At birth they are going to give him hepatitis B before he leaves the hospital is what it says here.  Of course, not in my case. 

 

Polio virus, three times, MMR I believe once, varicella which is chicken pox, pneumococco four times and on and on and on and on is just what they are saying.  If I were to try to enroll my kid in the public schools which hell will freeze over before that ever happens because I home school my kids like the Bible says.  If I were to try to put my kids in a public school or a Christian school, or a Christian school, or a Christian school I would have to do this, 19 shots into the arm of my child, putting in aborted fetuses, monkey kidney cells and who knows what. 

 

And you say, “This is an offensive sermon. This isn’t popular.”

Well, that has never stopped me before.  It is not going to stop me now. And you know what?  I had something else. I am trying to find...I have so much stuff here.  I am trying to stay somewhat organized.  Oh, here we go...which leads us into another subject that the Bible doesn’t talk about, right? Stem cell research.  And if you want to know about stem cell research get my sermon on the seven sins of IBF.  But let’s talk about the guy who started stem cell research.  Do you know what his name is? Anderson, figures, huh? 

 

This is his name, William French Anderson.  He is known as the father of gene therapy for his work on a promising, but controversial experiment medical treatment that involves injecting healthy genes into sick patients as stem cell research. They take the genes from a newborn baby, an aborted fetus, actually. While they are aborting it, they take out the stem cells and they use these to help sick patients, to help perverts like Christopher Reeve, you know, walk again. 

 

But let me tell you what happened to this guy this week, this father of gene therapy, this Nobel prize...or, let’s see. I think he might have won the Nobel prize, even, or he was nominated for it or whatever. 

 

William French Anderson, the father of gene therapy, the man who started this. Do you know what happened to him? He was sentenced this week to 14 years in federal prison for molesting a girl from the time she was 10 to 14 years old. 

 

Wow, isn’t that a shock?  Wow.  Remember my controversial sermon back several months ago on the seven sins of IBF?  Boy, I was way off the mark, wasn’t I?  Boy, I was blowing it, wasn’t I?  Well, it’s amazing that just this week the guy is a pervert. The guy is a child molester. 

 

Wow, I’m shocked, aren’t you?  Aren’t you shocked?  No, I am not shocked at all.  I am not surprised at all. 

 

But on and on, you know. That...we see that if you apply the Bible and you may not like the way that the chips fall when you apply the Bible to these types of decisions. So when I ask myself am I going to vaccinate my children?  I just open the Bible. “They that be whole need not a physician.”[19]  And I read the book of Leviticus about sanitation and cleanliness and quarantining people, getting people away from the disease, not building up their immunity to the disease, separating them from the disease.

And so I just got my answer from the Bible on that.  Forgive me.

But, number two of my main points.  My main point, I have several sub points in the introduction, but my main point was, number one, don’t go to the doctor unless you have to.  And if you have to, hey, do what you have got to do.  But try and stay away from the doctor because, number two, many doctors actually do more harm than good.

 

Look, if you would, at Mark chapter five and I will show you this from the Bible.  Mark chapter number five and I will show you this interesting verse in verse number 26.  But we will start reading in verse number 25, Mark 5:25.  The Bible reads, “And a certain woman...”[20]  I’ll give you a minute to be there, but Mark5:25. 

 

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians...[21]

 

So who is making her suffer?  The physician made her suffer.  Are you listening to this?  “And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.”[22]  Did you hear that?  I mean, she is suffering at the hand of a physician. She has spent all her money.  She is not getting any better. In fact, she is getting worse is what the Bible says.

 

And then I will finish reading the story just for interest.

 

When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.   And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.[23]

 

Again, it is mentioned in Luke 8:43. Turn there quickly, the next book in the Bible, Luke8:43.  Luke chapter eight, verse number 43.  And don’t be upset by anything I am saying in the sermon. I am not telling you what to do. Anybody who goes to this church knows that I don’t tell anybody what to do.  I have no rules. We have no rules about how people dress when the come here. I mean we have no rules about what people can and can’t do in their person life and be a member. We have no rules. We don’t need rules because we preach the
