Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins].” NKJV (New King James Version)
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV

Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.

Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
The Doctrine of the Sins of the Tongue.
“Why” people say what they say, “think” how they think and do what they do.
Their thoughts, words and actions depend upon the shoes on their feet…. or what they personally are going through in their own life.
The Doctrine of the Sins of the Tongue. Point 1. Definition and classification.
Sin is a violation of the law or standards of God.
Sin is also a transgression against divine law.
The sinfulness of sin lies in the fact that it is against God even when the wrong we do is to others or to ourselves.
Since God’s character and standards are perfect, anything that violates that has been defined in the scripture as sin.
When God gives soul-life at birth, He also imputes Adam’s original sin to the old sin nature so that he can deal with man’s #1 problem, rejection of the divine commands from headquarters in heaven.
Adam could only sin in the garden; He could not produce good or evil for he did not have a sin nature and once he did, the Lord expelled him from the garden.
Good and evil can only be produced after man has a sin nature.
We are spiritually dead before we commit our first sin.
The total depravity of man is given in Psa 51:5; 58:3.
Psa 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth.
The fact that the baby is safe and secure is given in passages such as 2Sa 12:23 “But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”
They are safe because they have not reached accountability. John 4:11 “And should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?”
They are saved because they have been protected by one or both parents in 1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
We are also totally helpless to understand spiritual phenomena because we are dichotomous, having only a body and soul but no human spirit.
This is why we need to be born again so that we can become trichotomus, having a body, soul, and spirit as taught in 1Th 5:23.
1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s also why our Lord said in John 3:3 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Then in John 3:6-7, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
(1) Spiritual death at birth. (2) The function of human volition.
All sins prior to salvation are blotted out at the moment of salvation; Isa 44:22, 43:25.
Isa 43:25 “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.
Isa 44:22 “I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud, And your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”
(1) Sins of cognizance, in which a person, recognizing the temptation as a sin, wants to do it, and he does it.
(2) Sins of ignorance, in which a person is not aware that the old sin nature is tempting him to sin; but he desires to do the sin, and he does it. An unknown sin is still sin and that is why our Lord forgives unknown sins in 1Jo 1:9.
Because all sin is related to the function of human volition, the believer is responsible for both categories of sin in his life.
You must understand that Jesus Christ was judged on the cross for both sins of ignorance and sins of cognizance.
When the believer acknowledges or names a sin of cognizance in rebound, he is simultaneously forgiven the sins of ignorance committed during the time of being out of fellowship.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all righteousness.
With volitional involvement, ignorance is no excuse, because both the sin nature and human volition are involved in the committing of sin.
Point 1. The essence of the old sin nature.
(1) The area of weakness. This is the source of all temptation to sin.
It is not sinful to be tempted; But it is sinful to succumb to the temptation.
(2) The area of strength. This produces a negative type good called human good. This is also called “dead works” and “wood, hay, and stubble; 1Co 3:11-15.
(3) The trends of the sin nature: legalism, which results in moral degeneracy; antinomianism, which results in immoral degeneracy.
(4) The lust pattern includes power lust, approbation lust, social lust, sexual lust, chemical lust, monetary lust, crusader lust, inordinate ambition resulting in inordinate competition, lust for revenge, criminal lust, and pleasure lust.
This includes power lust, approbation lust, social lust, sexual lust, chemical lust, monetary lust, crusader lust, inordinate ambition resulting in inordinate competition, lust for revenge, criminal lust, and pleasure lust.
(a) The lust pattern of the sin nature eliminates or destroys Bible doctrine as the number one priority in life.
(b) lust destroys the motivation of the believer to execute the PPOG. He neglects the principle of PMA of B.D.
(c) Lust is a distraction to the normal operation of the Christian way of life.
(d) Lust divorces the believer from reality, which nullifies the understanding and use of the problem solving devices of the PPOG.
(e) Lust turns the believer into a tricky and deceitful person.
(f) Lust destroys the believer’s motivation to glorify God, and turns the believer’s motivation into self-promoting motivation.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew yourselves approved unto God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.
1Pe 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
Psa 119:46 I will also speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And shall not be ashamed.
Psa 81:10 “I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
First, emotional sins. fear, worry, anxiety, hatred, which includes anger, violence, and murder, self-pity and guilt.
Mental attitude sins = These include arrogance, pride, jealousy, implacability, bitterness, vindictiveness, inordinate ambition and inordinate competition, all motivational sins, and sinful thoughts.
The third category is our subject verbal sins which include gossip, maligning, slander, judging, lying, and verbal deception.
The fourth category is overt sins They include chemical sins, sexual sins, criminal sins.
Now, all of this information leads us to Point 2. – The source of verbal sins.
All verbal sins originate from mental attitude sins, Which lead to motivational sins; Which lead to the sins of the tongue; Which are designed to destroy your life.
Point 3. Out of the seven worst sins from God’s viewpoint, not man’s but Gods’ three are related to the tongue as verbal sins, Prov 6:16 19.
A right lobe that devises evil plans [anti-authority sins, conspiracy, and revolution], feet which run rapidly to evil [a trouble-maker], a false witness who utters lies [perjury], and a person who spreads strife among the brethren [gossip, slander, maligning, judging].”
Point 4. The double standard related to the sins of the tongue.
The “emptiness” here is gossip, slander, maligning, judging from self-righteous arrogance; hence, the conversation of the believer involved in legalism and immoral degeneracy.
The legalism of self righteous arrogance has rejected the grace standards of doctrine.
The tongue is used to flatter those you are trying to persuade with regard to your slander, while at the same time slandering someone else.
Self-righteousness sets up a double standard of self vindication on the one hand, while judging and maligning on the other hand.
Flattery and hypocrisy toward those that you are speaking evil to. 2. Gossip and maligning that you do toward the one that you are speaking evil against.
The double standard also means that in arrogance the carnal believer ignores his own sins, while slandering, maligning, and judging the sins of others.
(a) Through subjective arrogance by creating a role-model and then destroying it through gossip, slander, maligning, and judging.
(b) He becomes a distraction to others through the function of legalism. in the slander, maligning, and judging of another believer, the self-righteous arrogance does not vindicate self, but condemns self without knowing it.
For example, the self righteous Pharisees thought it was “their duty” to destroy the perfect Son of God.
The legalistic judaizers thought it was “their duty” to discredit the grace ministry of Paul and stone him.
Rom 2:1 “Therefore, you are without excuse, every person who keeps on judging others; for in that you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things.”
The blindness of arrogance is that you are committing the worst of sins when you malign, slander, or judge someone else of committing some sin.
The self righteous arrogance of the evil believer assumes the prerogative of replacing our Lord Jesus Christ as the presiding Judge of the supreme court of heaven.
Legalism judges the sins of other believers, real or imagined, which are different from his own sins.
However, respectability maligning others is one of the most evil functions in the Christian way of life.
Prin – It is a double standard of arrogance to judge, slander, malign, condemn the sins of others, while at the same time being blind to or ignoring your own sins.
It is neither the duty, responsibility or prerogative of the believer to assume the role and function of Jesus Christ as the Supreme Court Judge.
It is the responsibility of every believer to judge his own life in the light of Bible doctrine.
Grace-righteousness and self righteousness are mutually exclusive.
However, in the case of criminality, that responsibility has been delegated by our Lord to the government.
After the resurrection of the church all believers will be evaluated by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The condemnation of all of the wrong things we have done. This is the ashamedness which is described as related to the judgment seat of Christ. 1Jo 2:28.
This is when we, that is “IF” we are winner believers, will receive rewards and blessings for all the things we have done to execute God’s plan if we have done so.
