  2. "Now, if even popes and cardinals go where they do not have any repose, where do ordinary Catholics go?"

    Above at 15:24 and Just previous Spurgeon mentions masses, indulgences that Luther included in his objections of RC practices, and which RC's practice still today.

    One of my mother's sisters left many RC documents of money given to various RC 'groups' to hold masses in perpetuity for relatives.

    To me she is an example of the perfect RC, first at church, first to contribute money and time, first to suck up to the clergy in public but also left notes such as 'my father told me the priests are filthy mouthed morons'. She was always ready for verbal and physical interaction with most anyone but particularly my mother.

    Over one billion, 1×10 to 9th power, people are gullible enough to accept the teaching of RC which violates likely the first three commandments by teaching to pray to saints and they manufacture or have manufactured many images of saints and what is their version of God for sale and distribution.

    Little wonder the thinking engendered by these Biblical contradictory teachings and practices.

  3. Christ Jesus and the truth of His word—our all in all: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
    that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" [John 3v16]

  4. 23:3923:47…"but if you believe in an infallible Bible, and in an infallible Spirit explaining it, you have all the infallibility that is necessary for mental and spiritual rest"

    Spurgeon is generally an honest teacher of Bible Truth.

    BUT!!, possibly due to England's history with regimented and at times proscribed religion he may have been somewhat reluctant to accept God working in some of the more 'degenerate' or 'dickensian' people which were possibly the focus of Wm. & Catherine Booth just 'across' the river who established the 'Christian Mission' later and now known as 'The Salvation Army'.

    This is something worth considering, so it seems, as 'The Salvation Army' today is more prominent than Charles Spurgeon. Here in the US some preachers never heard of Charles Spurgeon but know of 'The Salvation Army'.

    Vincent's word studies at biblehub.com explains the meaning of the word blasphemy as also failing to discern people or organizations or anything that exhibits purpose of God’s work.

  5. The local bishop watching Martin Luther come out of the Home Depot of the time : " Brother Martin, what are going to do with the hammer and nails?"

    Martin : " Oh, I'm just gonna nail a few things up on some doors." 😁

  6. 36:4837:05…"God has given me salvation, but he means me to work it out; that is to say, he has worked it in me by his gracious Spirit, and I am to work it out in my life; and so to let others see, by my walk and conversation, that I am really saved.”

    It may be that Spurgeon could be misunderstood here where he designates the quote as of an unknown "somebody" and this reminds me of the verse to the Philippians at 2:12 which The King's English (KJV) also seems unclear to me and the meaning is best in the NLT.

    Philippians 2:12 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"

    New Living Translation
    "Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear."

  7. 20:4920:58…"I find that there are some difficult passages which I cannot understand. I try all I can, but if I fail, I rejoice that my Heavenly Father will not condemn me if I do not understand them"

    Speculation on todays technological development and the news often mentions the need for 'regulating ' AI and social media.

    A commentary, which escapes me now, claimed the possibility of certain early Rabbis seeing in either or both Leviathan and Behemoth a 'world system'.

    In the following verses God is the creator of Leviathan in Job but Isaiah's Leviathan is likely referring to a different Leviathan.

    Job 41:1 "Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?"

    Psalms 74:14 "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness."

    Psalms 104:26 "There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein."

    Isaiah 27:1 "In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea"

    It seems to me that pursuing technology is the Western worlds equivalent of juggernaut or possibly the continuation of Thomas Moore's search for Utopia.

    Along with Moore's Utopia it is possible Desiderius Erasmus, his bosom buddy, and Erasmus ' 'In Praise of Folly' should be considered as to the influence these works had on the 'Reformation'.

  8. The Prince of Preaching, thank you. I am in my seventies, and it has been a true blessing to listen to you. Your words help me teach my grandchildren about God in a way they can understand and cherish. Through your preaching, their hearts are opened, their faith is strengthened, and their love for God continues to grow.

    I am deeply grateful for your ministry and for the wisdom you share so faithfully. May God bless you always, guide your voice, and continue to use you to touch generations with His truth, grace, and love. ❤

  9. To the Actor portraying Brother C.H. Spurgeon, I would like to thank you for your excellence in delivering a spectacular performance in reading this great Pastor’s sermons. I find myself believing that I am in 1870’s era London! Very good work indeed! I know how difficult it is to read a script and have it sound as if the words spoken were actually coming from your own train of thought and you capture that very well! Not for a moment does it feel as if you’re just reading, you actually sound like Spurgeon giving a sermon!

  10. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
